GMM 2511: Can We Remember Anything From 2023?

How much of 2023 can we really remember? Let’s talk about that. ((Intro Music)) Good Mythical Morning. At the end of every year since 2020, we’ve partaken in a little tradition to see how well we can actually remember all of what we went through and learned on this very show. It’s a fun little exercise that proves we pay very close attention to every single episode, every single year. Except for last year. What do you mean? We forgot to do it last year. Well isn’t that ironic. Yup. It’s time for A Visit from the Ghost of Mythical Past. Specifically 2023. There’s Different Ghosts for Different Years. It’s a Whole Thing. – [Link] Is That the Smell of Cthulhu’s Anus? Or Did My Best Friend Just Walk in the Room? The Game. – [Stevie] First up, let’s relive June 22nd, 2023, by seeing if you can recall the scents of some Mythical Crew members. As I’m sure you both remember, there was a scientific study that said best friends have similar natural body odors. So, each jar in front of you contains a T-shirt slept in by a Mythical Crew member for five nights. One shirt was worn by the best friend of our control, Taylor. Taylor, come on out. Here come the stink. ((Laughing)) Oh yeah, look at that. – [Stevie] Okay, so you’re gonna smell Taylor’s shirt and then the others and try and match up his best friend. But just so you know what’s at stake here, the loser of this episode will face a punishment from their past. Okay. – [Stevie] Did you freeze? In real time? Yeah, I do it all the time. Do it. I’m trying so hard to remember anything. Like. Well, I know we’re trying to find Hitch’s shirt. I know that much. Is this the same shirt from before, or did you re-wear the shirt? No, I re-wore it. Oh, you didn’t just store your old shirt in a jar? I do still have that shirt. But this is a different shirt, so now I have two stinky white shirts. But are you like, doing different things in life now? Different habits? Like, how’s your life changed since the last time we did this? You know, the weather is different. The heat is on now, at night. Oh, the heat is on. Really? New sheets on the bed, too. You’re running the heat? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The heat is on. It’s still a lot to run the heat. There’s a, there’s a tongs. Oh. In case you don’t wanna touch it directly, there’s also a long black hair coming out of it. Well, the heat is on. What is that? Well, it’s not that long, but it is a black hair. It’s not curly though. ((Laughing)) Hard. Pull hard. That’s probably all we need. It’s like a little bouquet here. We’re afraid to touch it. Still, it smells just like it did last time. Don’t you remember? That’s not bad. Like, I think we were like, oh, this is smelling good. Yeah. Taylor, turn the heat up. You know, turn the heat up, you need to sweat a little bit in the bed. And I don’t remember what we do over here either. – [Stevie] Well, you open it and you smell it. You know what, I’m not going to open this one yet. Bouquet, bouquet it. Okay, no, okay. Hands free. Corn cob it. I’m really making contact with it. I remember that smell. That’s not bad either. Not bad at all. Just like last time. Oh, you really bouqueted. Big bouquet. Okay. Soapy. But a different type of soapy than this one. – [Stevie] Now, previously you did have. I like this one better than this. – [Stevie] References for each. Like, you felt as if they smelled like. Oh yeah, I was saying, I was really funny that day. ((Laughing)) Let me see if I can. – [Link] Take a sip. Yeah, this year, this year, this year, now I’ve just got smooth like soap. Oh, wow. This one is I would say this is, this one’s oaky. Oh, this is the most musty one. This definitely, this smells like a person has been doing things in it. You know what I’m saying? This smells like a person. Sleeping hard, maybe? Like a washed shirt, maybe? Like when you smell a shirt to figure out if you should wash it? You should wash this one. ((Laughing)) We really want to know what you did to this. It’s got a little bit of like, maybe this person was weed whacking? You know, like yard work. But you’re right, we are looking for Hitch. Yep, and I don’t think Hitch, I’ve never seen Hitch weed whack. No. – [Stevie] Okay, so. Mostly camera work right there. – [Stevie] Also, in this episode you’re competing, and previously you were helping each other out in a lot of these rounds, so. Oh, see, we’re still helping each other out. – [Stevie] Yeah. Alright, I’m ready to vote. – [Stevie] Okay, so put your hand over the one that you think is Taylor’s best friend, which is Hitch, which is not the, you know, answer, but. Right. Three, two, one. Oh, yeah, whoever this is, we need to know. It’s not the weed whacker. We need to get some feedback. – [Stevie] Okay, so before I reveal the answer, let’s take a look at what you had to say about these shirts and jars before. Oh my goodness! This person’s floral. I would not call. You think this person’s floral? This smells like more like a person that smells like a backyard. Taylor. And I mean that in the best possible way. Like strung out. Like on a clothesline. On a clothesline. It smells like a clothesline. Not strung out on anything else. This smells like a person in bed. Like if I got in bed with a person, I would expect maybe a smell like this. This is more prom night. This is more backyard. This one. That one smells. I’m not even smelling human. It smells like a buffet. I don’t know when you’re getting this stuff. A buffet and, I’m just saying the first thing that comes to my mind. This is like a Burbank buffet. ((Laughing)) Yeah, that was funnier. We were funnier back then. Well, here’s the thing. All these people’s lives have changed. I mean, maybe that person had been to a Burbank buffet. But the, the way that we described it then, is the way that it still smells now. So nothing has changed. I agree. It tracks somehow for me. I don’t remember who this was though. – [Stevie] Okay, yeah, so the decoys for this were KG and Chase. KG’s shirt was in jar number one. Chase’s shirt was in jar number three. Chase! – [Stevie] Which means Hitch’s shirt was in jar number two. Yes. So you didn’t take anything that Rhett said about the way you smelled as constructive feedback to change, apparently. – [Chase] I stopped going to the buffet. Yeah, and started weed whacking. I didn’t do it. I did not do it. Doesn’t smell bad, though. Got a little side hustle. You can work up a sweat weed whacking. So you got it right, man. Yeah, I did. Now it’s time for Exposing the Top 10 Ways to Satisfy Yourself. – [Stevie] Back on January 19th, we surveyed the Mythical Beasts. This time to find out what kinds of videos they find most satisfying. At the end of the episode, I revealed exactly how they voted, so this should be no problem. – Right. – Not at all. – [Stevie] We’ve already filled in seven of the results on the board. All you have to do is remember where one of the remaining options landed. And before I show you the clip Link, would you like to peel the film off the board? Cause we know how satisfying that is for you. Well, it’s gonna be hard because my collarbone’s broken. Oh, it’s broken again. Remember this? We broke it just for this. Oh my gosh! On the hill again. Totally forgotten. Yeah, look at that. Hit it all you want. Remember when I used to do that and you would complain? Yeah. Well, yeah, because I. Is it completely, like, completely healed and never has any pain at all? Stronger than ever. I’ve not felt any. Oh, is it like that movie about the guy who breaks his arm and then he can pitch real fast? You gonna be a pitcher? Field of Dreams? Nope. I’m a ghost. Yeah, it’s stronger than ever. When it rains, I don’t feel anything. Emotionally? Hi. Hey. I’m still a little annoyed by the weed whacker comment. He made it! Yes, yes, direct it at Link though. Why are you looking at me? You’re like, a collective, my bosses in general. Look, it’s clear that you shower in the morning. I do, after I swim. Hey, listen, Chase. No shame in a man whacking his weed. Thank you. Thank you. Oh yeah, I’m not supposed to be making noise. I always screw up my own satisfying video. – [Rhett] Well, it’s satisfying for you. That’s what matters. Alright. There’s another one down the side if you want. Oh, there’s another one down the side? You know what? I’d like for you to do the honors. Oh, thanks. You deserve it. It’s been a long year for Chase. ((Laughing)) – [Link] Oh no, Chase! – [Rhett] Oh no, you ruined it. – [Link] No! But I didn’t make a noise. I can’t even look. Alright. Satisfying videos starting down at the bottom. Factory slash industrial manufacturing. What, are you gonna read them all? What do we have to do? We have to just pick one, right? – [Stevie] I’m gonna show you a clip of the one that you’re trying to. Yeah, yeah, we don’t have to take it all in. – [Stevie] Yeah, watch this clip. Domino Falls. I thought that was like, Domino Falls. Like a hike. Where I went on my vacation. So we’ve seen that before? ((Laughing)) Man. That one, first one wasn’t that satisfying. Oh, but here it goes. What is this one? Oh, flower. Is it a flower, though? What is that? I don’t know, what is this? I think it’s a fly swatter. It’s a colorful fly swatter. Oh. Still going. I love the skylight. Bet y’all didn’t notice that shiny floor last time. Oh, you can build. Up some stairs? You can defy gravity. Whoa! And it keeps going. Amen. Show me something I haven’t seen. Oh, spiral time! That’s satisfying. Oh no! ((Laughing)) No! I remember that you did that! Yeah, yeah, yeah. You did that! Like on every clip they did that. Yeah, and I got upset, and I had a broken shoulder. Yeah. Did I say zig zaggy last time, and then spiral time? – [Stevie] Isn’t it crazy how, I mean, I too don’t remember watching any of those videos. – [Link] It was a long time ago. – [Stevie] You have whiteboards in front of you, because remember, you’re not playing together. We just, we wanna collaborate so much. I gotta write with my left hand. Power washing was number one. Perfect fits. Oh, I love a good perfect fit. Okay. What’d you say it was? Six. Nope. It’s number two, man. It’s a simple. Satisfying thing. Are you going based on memory or based on intuition? I’m going based on intuition about my memory. Oh! This is not what I thought. I think that it was higher than I thought. I’m definitely not going on memory because I don’t remember. I’m just going on intuition, which is probably wrong. – [Stevie] Well, when we played, when we played, when you played back in January and you worked as a team, you guessed six. Right. But it’s two. – [Stevie] Chase, why don’t you reveal where it actually goes. I don’t know. You don’t know either? You don’t remember? – [Stevie] It’s, sorry, I thought that you knew. It’s in spot number nine. Oh, snap! Number nine? Everyone hates it. Everyone hates it. You all hate it. So I was right about that we were wrong about it before, though. That’s true. But you were more wrong than I was. Okay, so nobody gets a point then. Yeah. Nobody gets a point. Alright, well apparently it’s time for Incredible Edible Percent-ibles!

By December 31st at Mythicalsociety.com Do it! Get it! – [Stevie] Okay, back on January 27th. You remember January 27th? It’s a great day. Like the back of my hand, and I don’t even know which side of my hand is the back. No, I remember it. It was when, it was when we did that game where we tried to guess percentages and then, there were cookies, and some were chewy and some were crunchy. What? – [Stevie] You got it! Oh! Not a, not a point. Watch out, my. – [Stevie] Yeah, we polled the Mythical Beasts to find out how they preferred their cookies, chewy or crunchy. Where did the majority of the Beasts fall in the chewy vs. crunchy debate? And if one of you can guess the percentage within 15 percent of the correct answer, you get an additional point. And since you’re competing against each other, Rhett, you’re currently in the lead. You get the honor of using the board behind you. And Link, please use your white board. Oh! I know you hate the white board. Especially when I got to write with my left hand. Man, those are tough times. The year started off rough for me. And you know what? You’re better for it. You should break your other arm this year. I’d like to think I am, but the sad fact is I forgot this even happened. You know, it’s like, something that like. Your body knows. I’m gonna be so much grateful to be able to write with my correct hand. So much grateful. The gesture, and not be hurt. And I was like, I’ll never be the same, and I’ll be a better person, and I’ll have a good attitude. And look at me now! Well, you did for a couple of days. I remember those days. I mean, we’re at a point now where it’s just like, I’m just disappointed in myself. Yeah, me too. I wasn’t gonna say it. You know. Maybe once a month you should wear that sling. I need perspective, man. Yeah, well. So this is it. You’re getting it right now. Remember how bad that would have hurt? Okay, so I want you to do your guess. I can’t watch you, because, or maybe you just don’t, So red is chewy. Uh huh. Okay. And I’m a chewy man. I like to think that I’m in the minority. Don’t look. I’m not, I’m actually just. Hey, don’t look! I’m just looking at the numbers. I don’t know how the numbers work here. You don’t need to look at this! Well, I’m drawing it, dude! Are you looking back here? No! Okay. This is my answer. You see that? – [Stevie] Which is, which is which? The dark one is the red one. – [Stevie] I can’t see, Rhett’s covering it. Chewy is the dark one. Okay. Chewy is the dark one. So, what I said was, I remember thinking that everyone liked crunchy more, and then I think, and this is probably a false memory, but in the false memory that I’m accessing, I was surprised that more people liked chewy than crunchy. And I think it was 59 to 61. That would really surprise me now. I know, it surprised me back in the day. January 27th. 17 percent like chewy. I know, that’s what you would think. – [Stevie] Let’s head on back to January 27th to see the correct answer. I think it could be more than 60%. You want to say 58? I want to say 57 and a half. 57 and a half. 57 and a half percent people prefer chewy. That feels right. – [Stevie] You’re locked in? We thought more people liked chewy. – [Stevie] 15 percent of the Mythical Beasts voted crunchy, which means 85 percent liked their chocolate chip cookies. You were exactly wrong! You’re right, but wow. Where are the crunchy boys? I was remembering the numbers, but associating it with the wrong answer. That’s gotta count for something. I don’t know how to process what just happened in my brain because I basically guessed the exact same thing and it was. Exact same thing, dude. The exact same thing. I don’t know, but I won. ((Laughing)) That’s all I know. Alright. You’re consistent. You’re a consistent person. Very, very consistent. And look at me. I don’t break my collarbones. I’m all over the place. Alright, last up. It looks like it’s time for Stuff & Shuff Sandwich Edition. Welcome back to the Stuff and Shuff Zone. Yes! – [Stevie] In this final round, you’ll be reliving March 24th of this year when you shuffled your pucks to the decade you thought this sandwich was first created. And you’re gonna do it again. Rhett, we’ve shuffled so much this year. We’ve created so many memories that I don’t remember. It feels a good feeling. It feels a good feeling. ((Laughing)) It actually is a little disconcerting. Remember this? Oh, a sandwich. It’s a Fluffernutter. I remember that we ate this kinda. And we talked about it. We said things like, I didn’t really eat this growing up. Because maybe it wasn’t, like, regional to us. I’ve actually never had one. Oh, man. This is the first one I’ve ever had on this show. I didn’t really know what Fluffernutter was. Is that marshmallow? We said things like that. I was like, you know what? This is almost as good as a peanut butter and honey sandwich. We should make that into a cereal. And I was like, yeah, we’ll do it later. That’s where the cereal was born. Not true, we were already working on it. Okay. I can’t win unless you make it interesting for me. Okay, so I’m gonna go first. Because that’s the only way we can make it interesting. Yes. Because we’ll kind of adapt to our typical rules, and if you’re able to bank it off the back, get it completely in the right answer without touching the sides, you can win the whole thing! Yes! I would say that marshmallow stuff, that stuff popped up in the 70s, and then they figured out how to make a sandwich with it in the 80s. It took a full decade to figure out that you could sandwich it. So I’m going for the 80s. He’s going for the 80s, and he has overshot it. Okay. Which leaves the door open for me. But I’ve created a problem for you, because if you have to bank it into the right answer. It’s either 70s or 80s. My answer is 80s. And I’m not gonna, I’m not gonna touch you. And I feel like I can do this, and I need to have confidence. I need to remember that this is exactly what I did last time when I won. Right. I pulled it out. I landed right in 1980. Oh! That was decent, right? It’s hard because it’s so top heavy. It’s so top heavy. It’s so top heavy. What can he do? What can a guy do? Even with confidence sometimes, you can’t win them all. – [Stevie] Okay, so last time we played, Rhett, you guessed the 70s and 80s. And landed squarely in 1910. Exactly as you’ve done just now. Well, okay. You know, I’m consistent, just like you said. That’s right. If you’re anything, you’re consistent. And me? – [Stevie] Link, you guessed the 90’s and you landed in the 90’s previously. But the correct answer is 1918. No. Oh. Wait. So technically we’re both right. We both got it right. But you didn’t guess it. So you don’t get, you don’t get the points, bro. – [Stevie] Yep, that means that Link, unfortunately, you have to play Hide the Pickle in Good Mythical More with some twists. I’m not playing with him, am I? ((Laughing)) No. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. You know what time it is. Hi, I’m Amy. And I’m Liz. And we just made fish mitts to play Catch the Fish with Grandad. And it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. It lives on! See? Click the top link to watch us decide what we’d rather be remembered for in Good Mythical More. And to find out where the Wheel of Mythicality’s gonna land. – [Rhett] If you wanna get our Mythical Guess Who? game, join 3rd Degree quarterly or annual by December 31st at Mythicalsociety.com
