Unsolved mysteries are out and unboxed mysteries are in. – Let’s talk about that. (bright music) Good Mythical summer. – When you hear the phrase mystery box challenge, what comes to mind? – I mean, those episodes where we bid on the most mysterious and most Etsy evetsy memory boxes with members of the crew, that’s what I think of. – Huh, I was thinking of an angry alien species with question marks for bodies and boxing gloves for hands that are engaged in a centuries long civil war to decide the future of their planet. Stevie, will there be any of that in this episode? – [Stevie] Absolutely. – Cool, it’s time for Contents Confidential. The Mystery Box Challenge. – Welcome to the bidding ballroom zone. The Mythical crew has purchased four different mystery boxes of different prices from the internet. Each contestant will win a box, but only one will emerge victorious with the biggest gap between their bid and the actual retail price. We’ve got four contestants today. Stevie, Dave and Link and our reining champion, Gwynedd. Gwynedd, you’ve been wearing that belt all around town. I’ve seen you everywhere. – Honestly, I think it looks really good on me, so I have to defend my title today. – Oh, smack talk for the biggest gap. – That’s right, Link, hey (pounds gavel) order. No gap jokes. No biggest gap jokes. (gavel pounds) Okay, all right. Of course, we have back in his powerful position, David Magic Hands Hill. You know, Davin did this for one time and now for reasons that we all understand, he’s back over there. – I got fired basically, yeah. – It’s okay. – Let’s take a look at our first box. Ooh. Oh, just me, huh? – [Together] Ooh. – Let’s take a look inside. A little sneak peek. What we have here is the Asian drinks mystery box. I’m talking drinks from Japan, I’m talking drinks from the Philippines, I’m talking drinks from South Korea and drinks from other parts of the world’s largest continent. As deliciously fun as that all sounds, please be advised that one Mythical crew member is deathly afraid of boba, so I just ask that you be considerate of those around you when enjoying these fine drinks. I don’t know. – Did we all just look at Gwynedd? – I know, right? – Is that one of y’all? – I’m the one who eats for a living. – [Rhett] I don’t know. – [Link] It is a choking hazard. – Y’all ready to bid? – Yes. – That’s true. – I feel like I have an advantage for this one. – Which is? – What do you mean? – I’m from that part of the world. – [Rhett] Okay. – [David] And you drinks. – And I do drink, yes. – All right, do I hear $25 to start? $25, do I have a $25 bid? – Oh, really, wow. – Wow, nobody wants it. – I’m gonna take your- – Are you afraid of boba? – I thought you were starting at like a lower- – Okay, $20. Do I hear $20, you cheap bastards? – I’ll give you $20. – Okay, we got $20 to Stevie. – Nobody wants the drinks. – Come on, they’re drinks, it sustenance. You could drink it right now, Link $25. Do I hear- – $30. – $30 from Davin, okay, we’re moving now. What about the reigning champion? Does she wanna go higher, do I hear- – I’m afraid that yogurt one’s supposed to be refrigerated, so I’m not sure. – That’s a good point. – Ayi, okay, all right, right now we’re holding strong at 30 for Davin, do I have $35 from anyone? – Link? – [Rhett] Does anybody wanna take a dip, take a dip to $35. – I mean, there’s what, like six drinks, that’s five. – Six drinks, do the math on that Neil. – That’s $5 a drink. – $5 a drink. – You got the import fees, too. – Oh, okay. – Wow, true. – Do I hear $35, do I hear $35? We’re gonna say $30 to, okay, Link is just posing. (all laugh) So, $30 to Davin. – Guys, wait hold on- – Oh, see what you’ve done to yourself. You see what you’ve gotten- – Hold on, hold on. – Yourself into? – $5 a drink, man. – But $31, come on. – They’re Asian drinks. They’ve been shipped from Asia. – [Davin] Yeah. – You know how much, you know shipping costs. – You get a little jet from Philippines- Do you know what fuel costs today? – No. – That’s a steal. But it looks like it’s gonna go to Davin. Going once. – Link, come on. – Going twice. Sold to Davin for $30. – You didn’t want it. – I don’t really want it to be honest with you. No, I don’t really want it. – You got it. – But, look, there’s a Chun Lee Ocean Bomb in here. – [Gwynedd] How do you feel now that you’re looking at it close up? – This is an energy drink, M150. – Check out the refrigeration instructions on that. – Ooh, this is a little damaged. – Uh-oh. – Yeah, yeah, you pay extra for the botulism. – Sayone. – It’s coconut juice. – I don’t know what this says, but I know this is 34 years, so I hope this is not 34 years canned. – I hope you’re thirsty. – There’s a little treat here, too. Marshmallow. – You’re not feeling good about this. – No. – Aw. – I’m wanted to last more than one round. – It’s okay, Davin, yeah. – Okay. – It’s okay. – Honestly, I don’t think people wanna get the first box ’cause then they just have to sit here and watch everybody else have fun. – Ah. – Is that what was happening? – That’s the strategy. – You said you were following my lead, so I though you were gonna go above me. – You were too hesitant. – Yeah. – All right, let’s move on to box number two. All right, David, show Davin how it’s done. Whoa, this one- – It must be heavy. – Use your legs. – [Link] Boy, oh, boy, it’s heavy. – Good gracious. It’s either heavy or he’s faking that it’s heavy. No way to know. – [Link] What is this, a cloth box? – It’s files. Oh, my goodness, take a look what we have here. – It’s records. – It’s the vinyl record box mystery bundle from Etsy seller ViciousVinylRecords. It contains not 200, not 300, but 100 randomly selected records and here’s a vinyl collector pro tip. You can save hundreds on a record player by storing your records somewhere conspicuous to impress guests but never actually playing them. – I feel that. – Yeah. – I have a friend who does that. – Do I hear Link? Okay, what’s your bid? Why don’t you set the pace? – I don’t know, $45. – $45 from- – Don’t do that yet. – He’s so excited. – Okay, Link started out with $45. He loves records. He’s a DJ. Does anybody else want records? Stevie’s got a smile on her face. – Are you gonna say, are you gonna give a price to the, you want me to price it out? – Oh, 50. – Yes. – I’m going in $5 increments. Okay, Stevie says yes to the 50. Yeah, are we gonna go 55, 55. – It’s a deal. – Brand new champion. – Of course, yeah, definitely. – 55 to Link. Okay, right now this is a Link and Stevie bidding war. Do I hear 60 from Stevie, so, yes. – Very, oh, you drinking- – She’s gonna put all these records on her wall. – Oh, it definitely tastes like yogurt and, you know- – Is it hot? – Is it hot? – It’s warm. It’s room temp. – Yeah, warm yogurt. – [Davin] I actually like it, it’s kind of good, yeah, yeah. – Okay, right now we’re holding strong at $60. – Do you know how to bid? – We can’t see any of the records? – $65, 65. Okay, you know what? I’m gonna randomly select one, randomly select a record. We’ve got Chris. – Oh, no. – Is that Chris on the cover there? – It’s Chris. – Who’s Chris? – Okay. – I mean, for the art value alone. – We’ve got Sammy Davis, Jr. I’ve heard of him. – I know him. – Yeah. – Yeah, that’s nice, that’s nice. – [Link] Rat Pack. – Would you like one more, would you like one more revealed? – [Together] Yeah. – How about Dizzy Gillespie? – Dizzy Gillespie? – Yes, “Dizzy on the French Riviera.” Okay, we’re getting into some accomplished musicians other than Chris. – What number are we at 60? $65 is actually, Stevie currently has 60, so do I hear 65? – Yeah, I go 65. – $65 to Link.

I mean, this is quite a deal. – Of course. – Okay, 75 to Link. Okay, do I hear 80, 80, 80, 80, who wants to go 80, 80. Gwynedd is sitting this one out, she hates music. – I don’t know about, I don’t know how many more Chris records are in there. – What about this? What about Belafonte? Henry Belafonte? – That’s nice. – Wow. – The hits are rolling in. What am I going for now, 75? – No, Link is at 75. – Link’s at 75. – Who wants to pay 80? – I’m not hosting, so it’s hard. – Okay, do you want to go 80, do you wanna go 80, Stevie? Think about how you can- – I think I’m gonna stand- – You can put it all over the wall of your living room. – It could be wallpaper. It could be a whole wall. – I’m good, I’m good. – Link, for 75, we got nobody. Okay, one last tempting. We have- – Dean Martin. – Dean Martin. – Rat Rack. – I’m sorry I started with Chris. I really screwed things up. – I love Chris. – Yeah. – So, Link for $75, going once, going twice. – Yes! – Sold to Link for $75. – Y’all don’t know what y’all are missing. – Yeah, that might be good. – Just bring it over here and see. – Let’s see what else you got besides Chris. – It actually- – It’s actually heavy. – For the record, it actually was heavy. – For the record. – Okay, see I’m good at just going through these. Anything that I think is- – Link’s good at going through records. – [Link] Look at me, I’m going through them. – [Rhett] I’ve watched him go through many records. – [David] Do you have a record player at home, Link. – [Rhett] Sometimes we just go to the records office- – Oh, here we go, baby. George Benson, “Breezin’.” – George Benson? – This a find- – Reason. – I’m loving that right there. – Yeah. Okay, Link seems very happy with his purchase. – Yeah. – There you go. – [Rhett] I think he might’ve gotten a pretty good deal on that. – I did. – David, please reveal our next box. – [Together] Ooh. – Sike, it’s not a mystery box. It’s the Mythical Society blanket hoodie. We put it in a box to fool y’all. Whoa. – Looks so comfy. – Well, you can’t have it, unless you’re a third degree, quarterly or annual member of the Mythical Society by September 30th, okay, that’s the only way to get this luscious. See how soft it is on his face. It’s so, so soft. You can fit two basketballs in the pocket, I’ve done it. Mythicalsociety.com for details. Okay, David, reveal the actual third and fourth box because- – Ooh. – As you know, things work a little bit differently when we get down to the third and the fourth box. – [Together] Oh. – Orange. I love your interest. The third box will go to the highest bidder in this round, but the fourth box will automatically go to the second highest bidder at whatever price they are currently at in this bidding war, okay. Let’s take a look at the contents only of the third mystery box. – Stevie and Gwynedd. – I put myself in a bad position with the champion. – This is the 100 years mystery box from Etsy seller, Robert Haney, yeah, Robert, get it. It features 24 assorted items, 24 assorted items, including at least one from each of the last 10 decades. It’s practically proof that time travel is real. So, who’s laughing now, MIT? – I don’t think, I’m not hearing anyone laughing. I don’t hear anyone laughing or bidding. – Oh! – Do I hear $15? – Yes. – You’re gonna start with 15? – 15? – You started with 25 for this box and you started with 15 on that. – You guys seemed so unenthusiastic, I just wanted to do something, you know, okay, 15. – 16. – Do I hear 20? – Okay. – Do I hear 25? Stevie, come on, you gotta get this box. – Okay, okay. – Okay, 30? Back to Gwynned, oh, you wanna go 30, you wanna go 30, look at it, every decade from the last 10 decades, time travel. – That other box may suck. – I think I’m gonna stay. (all laugh) – I tell you, y’all, y’all are the shyest bidders ever. – I agree with that. – I feel bad about the box. – Gwynned won last time by never bidding. – Oh, well, really. – That’s the secret. (all laugh) – That’s the secret. – And you started at $15. – Okay, so we currently we are basically at a starting bid of $25, so just so we understand that we did get to the starting bid, so we’re all even and now the question is Gwynned, are you willing to just pay $30 for this? – I’ll pay $30 for that. – Okay, Gwynned’s going up to $30. Okay, Stevie, $35. Every single decade- – No. – [Rhett] 24 items. – I know the secret to success. – 24 items, Stevie. – And I’m staying and if I don’t win, it’s Gwynned’s fault. – All right. – So, going once, going twice and sold to the reigning champion for $30. Let’s take a look at those items. – I saw a cassette tape in there. – Oh, yeah. – Okay. – [Link] Yep, I’ll help you out. – The street singer Arthur Tracy. – Jane Fonda’s “Prime Time Workout.” I mean, this- – I’ve been looking everywhere for that. – This is a collector’s item. – Some stamps. – Ooh, stamps. – What are stamps? – Look at this, this is from like- – Wow, this is- – 70s. You got an Anne Murray. – An Anne Murray greatest hits 8-track. – I have no idea what that is, wow. – It’s an 8-track tape. – Before cassettes. – It’s like streaming music, but on a big plastic thingy. – A Kodachrome slide of oh, it’s porn. – All right. – Really. – [Rhett] Let’s project it. – Now this is a fake “New York Times.” That’s kind of bunk. – Okay, but that means that Stevie- – Yes. – You automatically get box number four for $25. – Yeah, wow. – So, let’s show Stevie the mystery box. – Now, it’s a bigger box than the purple box. – That’s right, it is. – Okay, let me tell you a little bit about this, Stevie. I think you’re- – Wow! – Stevie, I think you’re gonna be super happy. – Stevie’s got a bunch of balls. – This is the 2022 yarn mystery box from Etsy seller, Tia’s Terrific Threads. It contains over 1,000 yards of yarn. It’s also known as skeins or skeins on skeins on skeins. – Yes, yeah, I think it’s the last one. – The next time you’re home alone and considering another bottle of wine, now you can get knitty instead. – Man, I have no reference for how much yarn costs. – This is, I think this is a good one. – I feel like this is expensive. – This looks like very nice yarn. – You can go out to the local football field and go back and forth three times. – This is nice. – His hand-guided self striping. – 10 times. – And apparently it keeps you from drinking. – Oh, man. I really gotta hear this. – Oh, I though you would just drink and do this at the same time. – Oh, you never drink and keen skein at the same time, what is it? – Oh. – What is it, I don’t know these things. – Oop, sorry. – Well, then I don’t need this yarn. – Okay, now we’re going to reveal the prices, the actual value for these boxes that they were selling for online and we’ll also in the process reveal our winner. So, we paid $22 for the 100-years box. That means Gwynned- – No! – You are definitely giving up that belt because you paid $30. – Aw, I did. – You lost $8. – Nightmare, nightmare scenario. – Okay. – That’s okay. – I genuinely thought it was gonna be this box, wow. – We paid $82 for the Asian drinks box. – Whoa, what? – Davin, you paid $30 for it. That means you gained $52. – That’s nice. – Really, we got ripped off. – Yeah. – I don’t think this is worth $82. – Okay, well, we’re just getting started because we paid $264 for the records box. Link paid $75, meaning he gained $189. But for the yarn box, we paid $420. – [Stevie] Oh, my God. – Yarn is expensive, y’all! Stevie, you only paid $25 for it, meaning you gained $395. – Insane. – And you are officially our new reigning mystery box champion. – This hurts. (crew applauds) – I actually do think it hurts more than, producer Stevie’s thinking outside the game right now. We paid over $400 for this? – Yeah, we’re gonna put it right back on Etsy. – Okay. – No, you know what, this could be your new hobby. – It’s hand dyed. – It’s nice. – Oh, it’s hand dyed. – Well, did you, these all have names, these color schemes, this is January Sky. – This is a big deal. This is a really big deal everybody. – Fern’s Red. September to Remember. February Forever. It’s one per month I suppose. – All right, I might have to take that. – And I’m won per month, get it, the other kind of won. – And it’s fingering weight. – What, it’s fingering weight, oh, great. – Says it right there. – That’s why it cost so much. – All right, well, congratulations, Stevie, and best of luck Gwynned with- – With not having a belt to wear. – With all the time that you got on your hands and your 24 items. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. You guys say you know what time it is. – [Together] You know what time it is. – [Crew] Whoa! – I’m Isaac. – And I’m Mike and we’re from Austin, Texas. – We just made this music box.
