GMM 2647: What Does This Mystery Product Do?

Can we figure out what the most mysterious items on the internet do? Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Summer. We were perusing the old Reddit and came across the very interesting subreddit, what is this thing? And wouldn’t you know it? This world has a lot of things in it that we just don’t know about. But there are some things that we do know about, like taking things that we don’t know about and putting them into a game. All about proving what we don’t know about. What do you think about that? I’m all about it. It’s time for The Mystery of the Thing. Okay, boys, today you’ll be playing together, and in order to win, you’ll have to correctly identify four of the ten mystery items. Okay. The first part of the game goes as follows. You’re going to have twenty seconds to assess each item individually and guess what it is. You may guess as many times as you like within those twenty seconds. And once you’ve gone through every single item, I will tell you how many you guessed correctly. Do you understand? Yeah. Let’s begin. Okay. All right. This is. This is a bedpan. You pee into it. Look. That’s where your wiener goes. Yep. Yep. It’s for aiming. It’s an old fashioned. Oh, hold on. But. Oh. Oh, yeah. And then you pee into it. Time. Okay. I feel like we. I agree. I agree. I feel like we could do that. I mean, I know when I would need to put my wiener in things. Oh, this is a display for your baseball cards for, it’s part of a football stadium for little Garbage Pail Kids or Barbies. Is it. Is it for action figures? No, no. It hangs. It goes on the wall and it hangs lots of little towels to dry. Time. What about that way? That way. This looks like a cutting board, but it’s not level. Oh, no, this is from the. In a church where they put the things like how? Like what the tithes coming in are, stuff like that. This gives you. There’s words. How many people came last week to tell church. Attendance, three hundred. How much money was given? Yep. Time. Okay. This. Oh, my goodness, Rhett. This is a. Don’t put your in that. That’s a different Reddit thread. Hold on. Is it for the penis? Well, it’s very spicy. How sharp is it? It’s really sharp. Look at that. It’s for a cucumber. And you. You put a cucumber in there if you want to, put stripes on your cucumber. I don’t know about that. Okay. Yep. You definitely put your wiener in that? Yeah. And then it comes out and it waters your lawn. Yeah. Because of all the holes there. What does that look like on top? Why is it. Well, it’s got a tape over it. Yeah. But why. It’s a different type of. Why have they taped it? And it’s. This has a rubber gasket. So this thing. Time. I think it’s a. Oh, I think I know what it is. This is for BDSM. Yeah, so, you put this over your face like this, and you say, I think this should be on my foot so I can hike in snow. Oh, you’re right. This. Me and Christy got in a big fight when I tried to get her to use that. This is for snow hiking. Time. Crampon. This thing right here is. It’s a little mushroom. Well, it’s a cork. Oh, it’s for decanting wine. Because it has holes in the end. Yes. It’s for decanting wine. You put that in there, and then you water your lawn. Decanting wine. Decanting wine. Time. Oh, this is. Can I put my wiener in it? This is a novel device for. Yep. Just the tip. Okay. This is claves. This is. It is a musical instrument for a bossa nova. Yes. Quero quero. You get this. People sell this to you on a beach. This is. It’s got a thing back here for your wiener. And then, I mean, look at that. Hold on. Do these go over your ears? These go over your ears? It’s a fake tongue. It’s a fake tongue. Well, I don’t know what that is. It’s very padded. That is really strange. It’s for the hand. Is it for riding an animal? Oh, okay. So this. Be careful with that. That is a heck of a spike. Would you put that into the ground? So, I think you would take a stick and you would. It would be long. It’s like a one prong garden weasel. But it’s for flag. It’s a flagpole. It’s a flagpole. I think. That you can roll around if you got a big flag. Time. Okay. I’ll leave this out. Those are all ten items. We can bring the. Bring them all back. You can take them. So did we get any of them right? Out of the ten, you guessed, I’m going to say two point five correctly, and I’m not going to tell you why. It’s a point five on one, and I’m not going to tell you what you guessed correctly. Okay. So, based on that information. Yes. Go ahead and lock in any item you feel confident about on that riser behind you. I own these. And note, once an item is locked in, it cannot be unlocked. Okay. So you have four spots. Confidently locking that in. Okay. Yeah, yeah. You need two of these, or one foot’s gonna slip. Here’s my theory, Link. And I don’t think we should lock in anything else, but here’s my theory. I think we were half right about this, because I think she’s like, yeah, it kind of is what you said, but specifically. And then there’s some, like, BS reason. You know. BS Reason? BS reason. And then we got one of them right. And it’s probably this bedpan. But, I mean. I think this. I’m pretty sure this is. I mean, this is. This is antique. But what you. But we don’t have to log. Log in. Do we have to log in to play this game? Do we have to lock them in right now? We don’t have to. Right? We can play it cool. You don’t have to. You want to hold it steady at one? Yeah. We’re holding steady at one. Okay, next, it would be helpful to know exactly where these items are most commonly used. Yes it would. So, you can go ahead and pick any of the four remaining unlocked items, and I’ll tell you the where. I mean, the ones that are baffling me the most. That’s the kitchen. Is this, and this. But this may be the half right. You said it was decanter, but what we didn’t say was, if you put this. This used to be a flower waterer. I think it’s. Oh, yeah, a flower water. But why does it have a cork? So that you can. I think it’s so you can take. Well, what are we gonna do? We’re gonna ask you. So if you could put all the items on one of your side and then pick four and place them on Link’s side that you want. This is outdoors. I don’t want her to tell me that, this is a candidate. This is church. Yeah, but we don’t know that. We don’t know that. I have no clue what this is. So we need a clue. That’s for cowboys. I’m proposing that we do this one. I don’t have a clue about this scary thing either. So, you can change any of these. Are you saying that you don’t want confirmation for the ones that you’re sure about? Because you know that this is for the bed. Hospital. In a hospital type. I don’t know what this is. And then this, I think we need some help with. We need help for that because I know it’s for hanging things on, but I don’t know what the context is. Okay. Well, hold on. Let’s hold on because. Let’s just. I think we almost had that. And then this one, I think it turns a wine bottle into a plant waterer. You fill the. You recycle a wine bottle, you fill it with water, and. Two clicks for that. He’s right. You water the plants. Okay, so we’ll. Okay, I’m okay with that. Okay, so the four items that you want to know the where are on Link’s side right now. Okay, in no particular order. What? One of these items is most commonly used in the home. Oh, gosh. Oh, gosh. One of these items is used in the kitchen. Well, the kitchen is in the home. So by home, you mean non-kitchen home? This is a kitchen item. One of these items is also used in the kitchen. And one of these items is commonly used at a concert. Bleachers. Oh, this right here. So you can hear the. So you can hear the performer through all the little holes in your ceramic. I mean, it definitely sits this way. They’ve taped the end of it. This is a concert tool, Link. Is it for a mosh pit? What do they do in the mosh pits these days? Because is it a pad? Shepherd got his nose hit in a mosh pit. This would have helped. And so she did say, okay, so I agree. Oh, I took it apart. This is kitchen. This is scary. Okay, so, based on that very helpful information that I gave you. Okay. You may go ahead and make one official guess about any single item, and I’ll straight up tell you if you’re right. Any of the unlocked items. I’m worried that our strategy. I don’t have a guess for that. Picking four things that we were less sure about to get confirmation on may have not been the greatest strategy, because now, can we pick any of these items? Any of the unlocked items? Yep. I feel like we just need to. I feel like we need to. Just one. If this is a. Just one. A bedpan. I know it is. And you can lock anything in at any. If it is, then we should lock it in. We’re trying to. I’m trying to win. Well, of course I’m trying to win. I think that this thing, would it go in the kitchen? Can corn fit in there? If you put. If you put water in this and it spurts out here. Is it a steamer? Oh, is it a bun steamer? A bun steamer? And then this comes off. Why would that come off to be a bun steamer? I don’t know. What does it say on the back? T. T-S. T-S. It looks like it’s ceramic. It would be in the kitchen. Why’d you need a steamer in the kitchen? And that’s not how steam works. What? What would you? Yeah. It doesn’t go. It definitely goes like that. it doesn’t get. Look at the bottom. See, it’s? Like, that’s just for the counter. That’s not, like, for putting on fire or something. And this thing. Is for the home. I think this is a tie rack. Yes. Put your ties on. I kind of feel like we might need to go for that guess, because that’s what it is. It’s a tie rack. Is this a tie rack? No. Okay. Is this a cucumber? No. You can only ask me about one thing. And you chose the misinformed tie rack. I know what I did. We’re moving on to the final part of the game. Before we move on, is there an item that you would like to promote? Yes. Yes, yes. We get a point for this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can we lock it in? Exclusive to the Mythical Society, the Mythical Beast blanket is the softest. And biggest. Absolutely largest. It’s so big, you can fit two me’s in it. Snuggle up with your loved ones and doggies and more loved ones. They all fit under this. In order to qualify for it, you gotta join Third Degree Quarterly or Annual by September thirtieth, if you’re not already a Third Degree member. mythicalsociety.com Okay, final part of the game. Each mystery item you’ve seen is usually paired with another item, like a nail with a hammer. Okay. We will now reveal the companion items for five of your original ten items randomly decided upon before the game began. But before we do, I need you to eliminate five of the items still in front of you that you feel least confident about. You’re not going to lock in. I’m dying to know what this is. Choose wisely. Once an item’s eliminated, it’s no longer in play. So, we got to get rid of this. I just don’t think we’re gonna figure this out. You put it on your belt at a concert, though. That’s where you put your concert tickets, in that little pouch. You know how you lose your ticket sometimes? Because you leave your seat, and then you gotta get back to your seat, and you’re like, where are my tickets? In my little pouch. Let’s get rid of it, dude. Okay, yeah. I think this is way too generic. If it’s not a tie rack, I don’t know what it could be. So, I think we’re getting rid of these two things. Don’t get rid of this. No, we’re not getting rid of this. Because I think they might give us an item that should go in here, and all of a sudden we will have all kinds of luck. The problem with this is they’re gonna give us a stick to go in here, and that’s not gonna help us. What would I do? I mean, if it was a. You know what I’m saying? If you had something that went through this. It’s a handle. And it needed to be, like, repeatedly stuck in the ground at different places and then picked up and rolled around. But it could be so many things. But I don’t know why you’re making a. Is it a? Why would you use that as an aerator? Like, one single. No, no, it’s not. No, that’s not what it is. It’s not an aerator. I’m saying this is. This is so it will, like, stick in the ground, but I don’t know. Oh, is it like, stick in the ground and then you rotate. I don’t know what it is. I’m saying we should get rid of that. This is a torture tool right here. Let’s get rid of that. Oh, it’s a booby trap. Let’s get rid of that. Don’t forget we have this. If we see the letters for this. Yeah, we need to keep this. So, we’re getting rid of these two things and the black thing. We gotta get rid of five, right? Yep. Get rid of that. I wanna get rid of this. Those are three things we’re getting rid of. We’re keeping this, we’re keeping this, we’re keeping this. Did we. Have we got. Have we gotten rid of five yet? We need to get rid of one more. So keep that. Keep that in play. Can you put it up here? Now that we have room? So we need to get rid of one of these. I just don’t think. What would fit inside that? This? Nothing. It’s a musical instrument. I almost want to lock this in. Almost? But you don’t have to. So, that means we need to get rid of this. Because it could be for wine. It could be for turning a wine bottle into something. We’re getting rid of this. Okay. Okay. Here are the randomly chosen companion items. A violin. And this could be for anything we’ve also gotten rid of. Play it. It’s a musical instrument. Perfect. Yes, yes, yes. Perfect. Perfect. The devil went down to Georgia, found a little frog. All right, pennies. Penny. Why is this egg here all of a sudden? Oh, egg, look. Put the egg in there. Put the narrow part in there. Why does it have a chain so it doesn’t go larger? Maybe I can unhook that. I don’t think, I think that’s so you don’t open it up and the egg doesn’t drop all the way through. The egg goes there. And then I just hold it steady, and then I. I pierced my egg. I just pierced my egg, and I come out and now I have a pierced egg. It’s a trick egg. And then what do you do with it? You put it into your enemy’s refrigerator and it slowly leaks out. Figure that out. I mean, if you can’t make something work with it, then that’s not it. It’s for an egg. What else? Something stinks all of a sudden. Did you? Did you? Did you pass gas?. I just pierced an egg. Oh, I thought it was coming out of there. Put the egg in there. Also works on that. All right. So let’s lock in the green thing. Musical instrument. Yep. We’re locking that in. There it is. It’s cute. We have pennies and we have a T-shirt. Oh, is this a? That’s a turkey. A turkey. Do you think this would hold? A turkey leg? Part of the turkey? Like if you put this. That’s not it. Hold on. What do we get rid of? What do we get rid of? Well, you said that the blue thing was a steamer. Oh, it may have been a gravy boat. A gravy boat? A gravy fountain. It had holes all in it and then pennies. Pennies. Maybe the turkey goes on here. Is this a game with pennies? Do you like slide pennies down this thing? You might be right. They do fit well, let me see, let me see, let me see. But you want to, you would only want to go to, like, you want to go to these strata and then. I can’t hit it. So, you want to bounce the penny off the back? No, I’m trying to bounce it off of the. Oh, and see? Yeah. So you think this is, that. This is the penny game. Not a church attendance thing? Let’s lock this in, get it out of the way. This is a bedpan for eggs. No, we’re just saying this is a medical bedpan. It’s antique in nature. Oh, you know what link this is does not go on the wall. It does not have anything to hang. It has something to create a slope. Right. For pennies. Or what about a turkey? Like, if we took. You could put a turkey on it. Yeah. Yeah. No. Okay. Glad I have a shirt here. I think the shirt goes somehow inside of that ceramic thing with holes. What if there’s a washer? This is a washer for the shirt. No, it wouldn’t be. Would there be pieces of this missing, Stevie? No. Okay. All we need to do is pick one thing that we know what it is, and I don’t know what the turkey. Oh, look at that. What the turkey? I can’t figure out the turkey. It is a turkey, right? That wasn’t good. So, crap. Of the things we. A kitchen item that we got rid of. Let’s use this with the pennies. Yeah. This is a game. It’s called the penny game. This is an antique sliding game of some sort. We’re putting this up here. And here we go. We’ve locked in our four. Okay, we’re going to go from Rhett’s side. First up, we have a urinal for bed bound patients. Yes! You are correct. That’s a great image. And just in case you need a diagram. Yep. He got a different model. Yeah. He got the new. His penis is shaped like a stick of butter. Okay. And. Next up, this was your original. point five, I’ll say, because you didn’t quite get the name of it, but we’re gonna give it to you anyway. It’s a Japanese frog castanet is the name of the instrument. Castanet. Castanet. Yeah. But that’s the second one you got. Very good. I know this is right. Next one is a shoe grip. Put these over your shoes for traction on snow, ice, multi-terrain instances. Yep, yep. And Christy does not like them. She doesn’t like what I made her do in them. Oh, gosh. Come on. Okay. Come on. And finally, the last item is a shove ha’penny, which is an eighteenth century drinking game where you literally shove pennies down the board to score points. Yes! And if your coin lands on one of the lines it’s out, you have gotten four correct. We are so good. And you have avoided the punishment of the Mythical Beasts, leaving comments saying, who even are these guys? And since you have won, you both get to choose an item to keep for yourselves. Would you like to know what the rest of the items are before that? Yes. Okay. What’s this? That is a magazine rack that you mount to a wall. I was so close. What’s this a hole maker? That is a crevice weeding tool. Once the pole is inserted, it allows you to weed cracks in the ground without having to stoop or bend over. What is this? That is a soft boiled egg topper cutter. The idea is you just place it over the top like this. Pull together the handles and the blades cut off the top of the egg. If I had to just turned it a little bit. This actually worked really well. Yes, it did. And then this? That is a turkey stone. A turkey stone gets loaded with seasonings and liquids, then placed inside the turkey for roasting. And it supposedly cuts down on your cooking time as well. I can do it. Yes. We should have got that. And the concert ticket holder. That is a violin shoulder and chin rest. Oh, gosh. Oh, it didn’t go with that. Yeah, yeah. They didn’t give us the violin so we would make beautiful music together. Shoulder and chin rest. And then I think the only one you’re missing is the cork situation. That is a laundry sprinkler. You fill a soda bottle with water, plug this in the top and use it to sprinkle wrinkly clothes with water before ironing them. Oh, see, I’m glad we backed off of that because it was too imprecise. We did good. We know what things are. Let’s do it. What do you want to keep? What do you want to bring home? Well, then I want to keep this violin pad. I’m going to take the turkey.
