99 bottles of what on the wall? Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. You know the old song… ♪ 99 bottles of beer on the wall ♪ Well, what if we took that idea and turned it into the world’s greatest new game? I like that. But do you know the old song, “Happy Birthday to You?” ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪ Well, I’ve been singing it all morning to our very own Stevie, because it’s her birthday! Stevie, I don’t know why I’m doing this. Happy birthday, birthday girl! Thank you very much. Do you feel… How do you feel? Wiser and real thirsty. Well that’s perfect. For what? For us to suffer a little bit? Mm-hmm. Was this your birthday request? You know it. Mm-hmm. It’s time for “Bottle Feeders!” Okay boys, in front of you are 99 bottles of mystery liquids on the wall. Your job is to find the one good one. The other 98 bottles contain not so delicious drinks and are either spicy, sour, salty, fishy, or grab bag weird. And as you work your way through the drinks, you’ll accumulate drinks from each category. And every time you collect three drinks from the same category, you can ask me one yes or no question. If you can get the good drink in 20 or less guesses, you will both win a fun bottle opener you can use in “Good Mythical More.” And if you want to play along at home, please look away from the screen right now, I’m about to show where the correct bottle is. Okay, so go ahead and pick your first drink. What if we just do it on the first try? I mean, that could happen. You know us. I hope it will happen. You’re feeling some sort of mojo. I’m gonna let you go first. Well, there’s two different ways to do this. There’s the spiritual way, which is to look into the aether and find a number and go to that, which is fun. There’s the engineering way, which, what would the engineering way be? I think it would be 1, 99, 2, 98, 3, 97. No. And you just do that forever. I think there’s a entertainment production way. 69? Don’t pick anything we could point out, like a corner. Let’s do all four corners first. Nope, don’t do those first! The opposite of- Just go pick one. Fine, I’ll pick one. Hold on, hold on. Do 71. Why not 69? 71. Well, I’m not picking the number you want me to pick, I’m picking the number I wanna pick. Pick 69. Go and get it outta the way. Because they know we’re gonna do that. Ball boy, ball boy, ball boy, ball boy, ball boy! One of the lids popped! We’ve been having some poppage issues, but I can assure you everything in the bottles is totally safe for drinking. Is that mine? I didn’t do that. Yeah, because these are real sodas, everybody. They’re all carbonated. Real sodas. And you could get little rubber caps for your sodas. Look at these rubber caps. Who knew that? Look at that. If you take it, you drink it. Oh, it’s spicy. Yeah, of course it is. 69. Come on, come on, come on. Come on, guys. It’s not bad though, right? It’s that spicy- It’s horrible. Really? It’s spicy chicken broth. I hate it. I’m sorry. It’s gonna get worse. Okay. Oh, crap. It is chicken. Ugh! Was it soda? Spicy chicken broth. Ball boy! What was that? They’re popping off! Now, I’m gonna test a theory. So if one pops as I’m walking to the thing, I accept that as the universe telling me to get it. Drink it right there. I think this is miscellaneous weird. It is. It’s one of those weird sodas. Any idea what the flavor is? Armpit. Close. Buffalo wings. Oh, okay. My go. Okay and what color is that? The armpit of the chicken. Let’s the keep work around that. Oh, it’s getting worse. Fine. I’ll go for 71. Well… What? It’s kind of my thing. It’s kinda my thing. Too late. I hope it hurts you. Oh, that’s sour. Which is not, “Ay!” Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay! It’s actually not nearly as bad as the hot. I would love to keep getting sour. That was sour guava juice. Woo! Okay. All right. I think I can get this. I think I can get this. The odds are still not in our favor. Who knows the number back there? A lot of people. Okay. All right. Send the number into the aether. They don’t want you to get the number. They’re not gonna send it to you. Send the correct number into the aether! If you believe and think… They’re not gonna do it. No, stop asking. Stop asking. I’m gonna seize your mind. Carney, I’m going into your mind right now. I’m telling Stevie what number I’m thinking of. Well, he’s just thinking of another number. 29. Is that-? Sour! It’s another sour guava juice. Sour guava? Mm-hmm. I thought you said sour mama juice. Yeah, if you leave it out long enough, mama juice will get sour. Oh… I got an idea. What if we remove the bottles in order to create a portrait of Chase? Yes! So this could be one of his eyes. Great idea, Link. So where would his other eye be? I think 34-ish? Whoa, he’s that off center? Not off center, it’s more like, one eye’s a little higher than the other. All the way up here? Yeah, when I put my glasses down, they like, sit like this. Oh. Because of how they sit on my face. Bad. Weird. Weird. Mm-hmm. What does it taste like? Did you hear that? Which one was it? Such a funny sound! It’s waxy and horrible. Enchilada. Enchilada soda. Gross! Let’s pick some numbers that mean things to us. 96, the year that we graduated high school and embarked. Wow. Can you believe that? On the next stage of our lives. Who all was alive in 96? Hands, hands, hands, hands? A foo, few hands. A “foo” hands. Oh, gosh. My stomach is in a weird zone. Ball boy! It’s a fruit. Grass. Grass soda. Oh, yes. Grass. You kinda like it? But this means that you gathered three weird ones, so you get to ask me a yes or no question. Okay, and it’s gonna be a question that ends up relating to a number. If Link becomes a single man again, and he has no plans on doing that, okay? He has no plans on doing that. You saying it just happened to me? Let’s just say there’s an accident, I don’t know. I’m just, I’m creating a hypothetical, okay? And then you meet his new girlfriend, Stevie, and she is this age. Okay? Does it make you feel uncomfortable? Yes. Yes. She could be real old. You know, she could be real old. What’s the oldest that you start to get weird? The youngest old person that it starts to get weird. Well, the youngest, so, well, you’re 47. 65 and above, that’s gonna be a little bit weird. And then what’s the low number? What is it? Half your age plus seven? Is that true? Half your age… Is that weird? That is so specific that you know that as if that’s a fact that everyone should know. I thought that was well known. 23 and a half plus seven. She would technically be 30 and a half. I think thirty’s okay if she looks old for her age. Right, she’s gotta look old. An old looking 30-year-old. Right. So we’re saying anything below 30 and anything above 70. 72? That’s weird. That’s weird. 72. Okay, it’s not that. Salty. New category unlocked! It’s salty Gatorade. Oh, my God. Wow. Okay. That was bad. So, whew. She had to think about it a little bit. 28, that’s weird. By asking this question, I’ve made the whole episode weird, I realize that. Yep, we’re gonna keep talking about it. Because now there’s two like, middle aged men talking about 20-year-old women. It was just a way to get the number. Oh, it’s hot! That’s hot! I told you they got hot. Whoa! Spicy. What is that? Spicy Red Bull. Oh, spicy Red Bull is spicy. I think 25. I mean, 25… We said that Stevie would think it was weird. So we’re sticking with that. Spicy! Oh, yeah. Oh! This one tasted good for a second. It was like lemon, but then it was spicy. It’s spicy lemonade. But you got three spicies. Oh! So another yes or no question. All right, you got one? If I was dining alone at Olive Garden. Okay. Yep. Let’s just say hypothetically I’m single and I’m dining alone at an Olive Garden, would you be surprised if I got a full meal and a drink for this amount? Not a dessert, though. Yes. You’d be surprised that- At Olive Garden, I would be surprised if you paid this amount for that food. That means it’s a high number. Well, I think it means that anything less than $20. What? She’s surprised. She said, “You paid this amount for that food.” It was either- Made it sound like, “You would, $75 for that food?” It’s either really expensive, but how cheap, she would also be surprised? So it also could be like, anywhere from $1 to like, $14. She would also be surprised about that. That’s surprising, yeah. So we pushed it- But she would’ve answered the question about if you were dating someone, she would’ve answered very quickly. I think anything in the teens and below, we don’t need to guess that because- No, we do need to guess that because that’s what- I’m so confused. I asked a bad question. She is surprised if you pay this much at Olive Garden. Yeah. We’ve eliminated some of these. We’ve eliminated like, $27 to $21, so we don’t have to go here anymore. I think we may have eliminated 19 to 34, honestly. For one person, I think you can spend $34 at Olive Garden with a drink, no dessert. Right. So she’d be surprised. So it’s not those. I asked the question wrong. So I’m gonna go, I’m gonna go. I’m gonna go, I’m gonna go. ‘Cause I think she’s like, “This much for that amount of food?” 1977. The year I was born. Yeah, odds are it’s greater. Spicy. Spicy Red Bull. Spicy Red Bull. Oh, gosh. I wanna get a blue one. Ugh! So we can ask a better question. I’m gonna go down here on the bottom row and I’m gonna say 89. Is it good? Salty, salty soy sauce. Salty soy sauce! Oh, God. Oh, God. We really need to be thinking of a good que- 55. We need to be thinking of a good question ’cause this is a number that Stevie would be surprised that you were dating and surprised that you were spending an Olive Garden. And if you were at Olive Garden with this person, that would be the most surprising thing. If you were at Olive Garden with a 99-year-old lady and you were spending $99? But I was going Dutch. I’m not paying for the 99-year-old lady. Of course, ’cause she’s rich. She’s paying for the whole thing. I don’t think it’s 99. I think it’s 91. Oh, God. Remember 1991? Yeah. What is that? Butter. Ranch Soda. Which means… I always get the weird ones. I think you have… Oh, we lost one. Oh no, you don’t have. You already just had three. Oh, we lost another! Oh, god! We lost another. Oh, ball boy. Ball boy’s busy. He’s bar boy. Not ball boy. But he’s doing ball boy kind of things. He’s quick, too. He finds things quick. I’m gonna go for 82. Yeah, that would be weird. Weird. Weird. What does it taste like? Bitter? It’s buffalo wing soda. I didn’t know if it tasted like armpit to you as well. Ugh. Well, we got two of the same. Well, we got two of the same of three. So I think I’m going in the sixties at this point. That makes sense. It’s like it’s a little bit weird for you to be dating, it’s a little bit weird for you to be spending that much at Olive Garden. 67 for the win. Yes? Yes! Sour. Sour guava juice. Oh, which is blue. Oh, we got three blues! All right, we need to remove some of the really high numbers. Really high numbers. Okay. All right. Something about the temperature. If you knew it was gonna be… Yep, yep, yep, yep. Okay. Fahrenheit. Make sure you say that. Yeah, Fahrenheit. If you looked at the forecast for the day, Stevie, and it was going to be a high… Of this in Fahrenheit. Of this Fahrenheit number. Spaghetti straps? No, no, no. Would you pack, would you bring along a light jacket if you were going to a concert at the Greek and this was going to be the high temperature- No, no, no. Let’s say you’re going out in this temperature, not going out at night. You’re going out for an afternoon drink. Yeah, that’s better. So you would experience this high. Yeah, this is how high it’s gonna be in Fahrenheit. And you’re out in it. Do you bring a light jacket? No. Yes! This is an old lady. I mean, when do you bring a jacket? If it’s 78, I’m still bringing a jacket, but I know I’m cold natured. What? 78 is six degrees more than room temperature. To be completely safe. That’s crazy. I don’t think anything lower than 75 we should go. 75 and above. So she says she is bringing a jacket. You are bringing a jacket? She’s not bringing a jacket. No. So it’s 75 or above. We know that. Yes, yes. So go, pick one. So I actually think it’s probably down here. 84. I can’t- What? I thought it was salty but it’s worse. No, it’s salty bean juice. It’s butt, it’s butt. Which I think means you got all the salty ones. Yeah, that means you’ve got all the salty ones. I’ve gotten all the weird ones, you’ve gotten all the salty ones. While we think of a question, speaking of tasting like butt, if you would like to watch “Good Mythical Evening: Sloshed in Space,” it doesn’t matter that you missed it, you can watch it on demand! Yes, you can stream the whole recording at goodmythicalevening.com, but you don’t wanna wait too long because the recording and the limited edition GME tee are only available until November 9th, okay? Go check it out, goodmythicalevening.com. I’m trying not to get morbid here, but I’m trying to remove just the nineties. Well, we could go with years. I was gonna say something like, “Would it-” Like, I’m gonna go in nineties fashion, okay? Be careful now. Well, something that didn’t exist before the nine- Like, what’s a good nineties? Don’t say jams. ‘Cause this started happening in the late eighties. What about… Okay. Birthday, girl, I’m gonna speak your language. Would you bat an eye if you saw a music video of a pop star wearing goggles on top of their head? Would- Would you bat an eye if you saw a music video of a pop star wearing gog- Oh, pop! Star wearing goggles on their head. Is there an additional part of that question? Because… In this year. I left out the year. If you went into a time machine… If you went into a time machine, I left that part out. Or if you just watched a music video from this year. Can I rephrase the question? Listen, how about a completely new question. What’s something else that happened only in the nineties? Only in the nineties? Pop stars were goggles on their head. That only happened in the nineties. Not before, not after. I don’t know that to be true. It is true and she knows that. I stand by my question. Okay, but I mean, surely somebody wore goggles on their head in like, 86, like, you know, Devo or somebody like that. I mean… If you were being interviewed as a- Here we go. If you were being interviewed for a documentary about pop music from this year, would you mention goggles as a fashion statement? No. No? So, see, it’s not the- It’s the seventies. And this is… We could’ve asked about- I think we’re in the eighties. You could have asked about MC Hammer. I think we’re in the eighties. But maybe the goggles was two thousands. Whoop! Chase. It’s safe to go with the eighties, though. Yeah, yeah. We should run the eighties. Oh, that’s good. It’s strong. It was sour. You know why you think it’s good? ‘Cause it’s grape. Yeah. But it’s sour. It’s sour grape. It is very sour. Sour grape. Okay, we’re gonna do- Oh, that’s a good one. Let’s just run the eighties here. 83. 83. Come on, come on. Make it happen. Another pop! Weird, it’s weird. I can tell. Yeah. Oh, that’s three weirds! It’s a enchilada soda. Now I will say, is that your third? That’s your third weird? Yes. Okay. But also you’ve guessed 17 times. So keep that in mind ’cause you have to get it under 20. No! We can do this. Okay, let’s ask a good question. So it’s in the eighties. I mean, there’s four there and we gotta get it in two. So if we’re right, there’s a 50/50 chance. What? 20 or less? Stevie was born in- 20 or less. If we think it’s in the eighties, we have a… 87, right? We have a three out of four chance, so… I think she was… Was she born in 87? We’re not gonna… Is that your question? No. But wouldn’t that be poetic? That on her birthday they used the number, the year that she was born? Do you know what that is? I think it’s 87. Maybe it’s 88. So if you traveled back in time to this year, could you- Yeah, yes, yes! Could you see yourself? Yes. If you traveled back in time to this year- That was one of these, sorry. Bar boy is getting a little excited back there. If you traveled back in time to this year, would you risk coming into contact with yourself and causing a rip in the space time continuum? Yes. So this is… You’ve gotta go with 88 ’cause she’s alive. She wasn’t alive for all of 87. But she was born in that, I think. But most of 87 she wasn’t born. But there’s a risk. Just choose 88. Let’s start at 87 and then we’ll go up. Okay. ‘Cause we have the ability to do that. ‘Cause all we need to do is get this right. Is it good? Yes! We should have gotten this! Was I right about the reason? Yep. You figured us out. Oh, man. We should have known it! Here’s one for you. Cheers! I got my own! We did it! Look at that. We did it so fast. First time at- Well, we didn’t do it fast, but we did it under 20. You did. You won. We have these bottle cap launchers for you, for “Good Mythical More.” And yeah, 87. Year of my birth.
