We’re opening up tons of different advent calendars. Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. Advent calendars are wonderful. They fill every day with a little surprise you never knew you wanted. But there’s one problem with advent calendars. Mm-hmm. The market is completely flooded with them. And there’s no way to peek inside and find out which is best. So allow us to find out for you via the world’s biggest advent calendar filled with, other advent calendars. Lookie there. Yes, this is a thing. Okay, boys, the Mythical Crew has rounded up some of the most interesting and unique advent calendars out there, and placed them into that big old advent calendar right next to you. It’s advent ception. As you go down the line revealing each calendar one by one, you may open a random day or days of your choosing, test, or taste, whatever you find, and then you’ll rate the calendar as a whole from one to 100. So go ahead and check out that first calendar. There’s tasting. Whoa. Yes. Hello. How don’t, Ooh, how do I get this? Here we go. Oh, look at that. Whoa. That is quite an experience. Howdy, holidays. Wow. Look at this. And then if we pull this out too, in case we need it. Oh, and look it, this closes almost right back up. So yes, this is the Cowboy Beef Jerky. Howdy Holidays, advent Calendar for 39.99. Yipee ki-yay! Okay, uh. What you going for? I’m going for 13. Lucky number 13. I’m drawn to number 11. How did you do that? Uh, you gotta press, press. Oh, press, press and then pull. Wow. Look at that little chubby. I mean, that is just a, boy that’s. What flavor. That’s, that’s barely jerky. I mean, this is barely jerky. I got habanero, uh, teriyaki. I got jalapeno pepper. It just gets yourself a little bit of beef stick every day leading up to Jesus. So when, when you go visit him, it’s like, man, you smell like beef stick. Uh, I’ve created a problem for myself. You know, when the Magi visited Jesus, they also smelled like beef stick. Well, a lot of people don’t know that the fra, the frankincense and myrrh were actually the flavors of the two beef sticks that they brought. Uh, I’m gonna put that one back because. Oh, it’s quite good. I don’t want to eat it. What? Well, it’s not really the 11th. How, oh, you, how you, okay. His score is invalid. He’s not here. You gotta here try this one. You see you’re opening another one? Yeah. Why not? You gotta taste it. Look. Oh, it’s the same one I just, hold on, it’s the same one I just had. Oh, hold on. See, look. There’s repeats. That’s gonna. There’s repeats. That’s gonna impact my score. Oh, you done it wrong this time, Howdy Holidays, because we thought we were gonna get fresh jerky every day, but we got a repeat from 8, to 13. Well, what happens? I can’t open this jerky. What happens on Santa? Oh, another repeat. What Link already had. Oh, it’s bad. How? How many different kinds of jerkies are there? Why is the beep jerky so soft? All right, on a scale of one to 100, given all that we’re discovering. Oh, another repeat. How disappointed is little Chucky gonna be when he, he, he gets to day three and he’s got a repeat jerky. I’m gonna give it 21. It was okay. It was okay. But the repeats is very disappointing. I’m gonna give it a 27. Alright, go for the second one. Okay. I don’t think that one’s gonna win. Okay. Woo. I love that reveal. Ooh, slime. Okay. Is that, that’s still a thing, huh? Oh, and here it is. Here. Here are the numbers. That’s cool. This is for 22.99. Slime advent calendar. It looks like, uh, Candyland. So this is still a thing the children are doing. I’m gonna go, this is odd shaped. Once I’m going here, I’m gonna go with Christmas Eve, Eve. Hold on, so one day all I get is a little piece of wood. Oh gosh. It’s hard to get out. I actually got cotton candy fudge slime. Is this a musical instrument? What is, or is this like, is this like one of those things for a little honeypot Okay. I think you, you, um, you swirl your slime with it. Okay. I’m gonna go back to 13.

No, because there’s other things here, man. That’s not slime. What? That, this is a little heart. And what does that have to do with anything? You put the slime in the heart, you put the, yeah, the slime in the heart and it makes a little heart. This type of slime is completely different than this type of slime. They’re totally different consistencies. I don’t understand what this is. No, you can’t open this. It, it surprises. It looks like a Cameroon, or what’s it called? Don’t eat it, don’t eat it. I’m sorry. It’s just so appetizing. It looks like a cookie. Macaron. It looks like a little sandwich. Macaron, not Cameroon. Alright, so I’m gonna, uh, straight from Cameroon. I’m gonna take, uh, I’m gonna take 15 points off of this one right at the get because it’s confusing and we thought we might should eat it. Uh, I mean this looks like a little heart sandwich. It could have killed us. I’m not really into slime, but I know people are. I like the danger. 52. 68. And I’m going for number three. Yes sir. Get rid of this slime, please. Yep. It’ll be gone when you get back. I’m beginning to understand the appeal of this. You never know what you’re, oh, what you’re gonna get. Bonne Maman. Oh, is that Bonne Maman? Bonne Maman?

This is a, um, this is some sort of a snowman, droid. Whatever you do, do not get them mixed up. This is fun. It, it requires a little building, a little movie knowledge. This is not something that I am personally interested in, but I understand the level of interest in both Lego and Star Wars. It’s, it is a good combination. Um, and even Lego Star Wars.

Read it. Select one, wear only winter hats, boots and scarves while making a delicious Christmas dessert together. Okay, so just picture you’ve only got winter hats, boots and scarves. That means you’re a naked. In the middle. Might be time for a little tinkle. I choose that one. Or kiss like you haven’t seen each other for a month, or, have sex on a table? Why you giving me so many options? Is there a all of the above? Give me just one thing. Be confident in your choice. I’m, I’m going later in the month. Okay.

However, there’s a catch. You must take turns adding one ingredient each until both of you have selected at least three ingredients. But feel free to use more if you want to. This is so sexy. Don’t forget to name your dish before eating it, and remember that there is no shame in eating takeout should things go horribly wrong. Yeah, no, no, no shame. Don’t yuck somebody’s yum if it’s takeout. Pick up one of the following topics to discuss. A, should postmortem organ donation be mandatory? Horny, much?

I, and does it stink because that would help. No, it’s not used yet. Okay. The thing that I, I’m gonna criticize on this one is the, the lack of confidence in the choice. Don’t gimme options, just tell me what to do. I understand why they would give them options. Advent calendar. Don’t give me a way out, put on it may not be used by scar. May not even make love on a table. Uh, may not be used by anyone under the age of 18. Whoa. Okay. How you gonna enforce that? Okay. Alright. Um. 72. I’m gonna give it a, huh. 69. Okay. That was good.

Look at him, he can hardly contain himself. Oh, and it’s just straight up cheese with wax on it. Look, I mean, that right there is truffle cheddar truckle. Truffle cheddar truckle. Just a thing of cheese, just in one day. You can have this much cheese just to yourself. You don’t have to share it. Look at this. Oh, this one’s a long one. This is incredible. What’s in here? What Rhett, look at, look at this. Look at that. Oh my God, there’s so much cheese in this thing. PDO. Aged for 12 months. Parmigiano reggiano. Whoa, whoa, whoa. And look, look, look, look. Everything is so hard to get out though. Well, you can take all day. There’s jam, they have jam. Jam. This cancels out the jam one. Oh my god, this one’s better. Oh God. It has a, it has jam and cheese. And cheese is better than jam, but jam and cheese together. What else does it have? Oh, crap. And I gave the other one a 90. Yeah, we were all worried. Oh God, look, just look how big. I’m gonna gift it to you. That’s rustic red cheddar, oh, I’m taking this one. I’m taking. Well, I guess I gotta give this one more than I gave the jam one. So 91. Uh, I can’t imagine a better advent calendar, but I wanna allow that to be the case. So I’m gonna say 99. Okay. 99. Am I going now? Yeah, so I’m just gonna go ahead and put this in my backpack please. Woo. Okay, watch out. We got Ulta Beauty Mini Brands. $39.99. That’s, that’s pricey. Okay. So it’s like you’re going into Ulta, which I can’t do because I can’t hold my breath that long to get back out without smelling all this stuff. Yeah, this stuff. Oh, you got a little ready table. Oh, so you can get ready right here. You don’t even need a mirror. You could do it outside. Okay. Goes like that right there. Okay. I want a new mechanism. I’m gonna need to do it. My finger’s bleeding. My cuticle is, is uh, in need of help. What is this? Oh, this is those little hearts that you can put on your face. Don’t eat it. Those little, yeah, yeah. Those little hearts that you put on your face that when I see ’em, I’m always like, oh, there’s something. Oh it’s a heart. I always think I’m seeing something on someone’s face, but. What is this? A a mini blow dryer. Really, really? Huh? It is. Wow, does it work? There’s a little Polly Pocket blow dryer in there. So we got little hearts for your face. Face hearts. Dry Bar branded. This is a tub of something. Look at that, and you can put the different. It’s makeup. Things on it on the end of the, the blow dryer. That’s, that’s cute. But we’re not big into cute are we? My finger is bleeding. Let’s rate this. I mean, first of all, this one injured Link. Let’s rate this for the people who might be into it. You know, this isn’t for us. Some things are fun. I don’t really understand if it’s to put on display or if it’s to use. We’re confused. I’m gonna give it, I’m gonna give it a solid 40. I’m gonna give a 49. Alright, Rhett. Now we’re to the last one. This is it. Let’s see if you can pull out a winner. Okay. Oh, oh. Hmm, Hmm. What we got here. We have. Survival kit. The survival kit. $29.99. Open cover. Okay. 24 boxes, 24 days. Whoa look at that? Oh, you got a fire blanket. What? What is that? Whoa, that’s a giant pen. Whoa. Whoa, look at this, it’s a glove. I needed this earlier. Look, it’s a pen and one of those, uh, window breakers. This side breaks a window, and this side writes a message. Like you, if you’re inside of a car. Yes. And it’s, and it’s sinking into a pond. Yes. Of course, you don’t wanna, you don’t want, want to roll the windows down, do you? Yes, you do. You wanna roll your windows down as you’re going off the bridge. Yep. Before you start, before you’re underwater. You need to remember that. Now, I will say it describes itself as a 24 day Christmas countdown for men. So I’m wondering if there’s anything in there that’s, you know, only for men, what would that be? Well, it’s a good question. We got a raincoat, that’s just for guys, you know? That’s the, only guys need that. Here we have a foldable fork. Perfect for a man’s mouth. We’ve got one of those things you put your phone in when you get go out on the lake. Ladies like to keep their phones out on the lake. Right. You know, they like to keep ’em out, they can snap pictures of everybody. I don’t think this is the winner, because I’m gonna give this one a, it’s fun to have emergency stuff, but, 55. This doesn’t really put me in the mood for the holidays. It makes me start thinking about things that might go wrong. So I’m gonna give it a 48. Well in the end, uh, the top two contenders, well, belong to each one of you, I believe that you’ve claimed. So the runner up is the Murray’s cheese calendar, which Rhett already claimed. You already got that. And the winner is the Fly by Jing calendar, which Link already claimed. Oh. You just knocked my cheese on the ground. Oh, okay. So this is the winner. Yep. This by, by how much? How much did this win by? Uh, by four points. Four points, okay. All right. Alright, so KG you can have the jam one. And, um, any man who works here, and only men can have, can fight over this. That’s right. I’m so in the mood, to go to Ikea. Yeah, in just in just a scarf. In just a scarf. Thanks for commenting and sharing this video. You know what time it is. Hi Rhett and Link, it’s Sela and The Night Man from Baltimore. And Moose.
