did a dad get decapitated at Disneyworld let’s talk about that good mythical morning thank you for joining us in this very special episode of good mythical morning from a hotel I’d prefer a motel I’m a big fan of motels but I’m here in a hotel with lots of people in Orlando playlist live filming them right now look at him oh yeah we we got you on the air I got it we’re not we’re not going to cut you out until we go to pokes I am now though you’re out now now you’re in okay so here we are doing doing this thing well we’ve got you on the other side of our camera mythical beast and those of you here in the room thanks for joining us here in the room for making us a part of your playlist live hmm a live taping involving no tape no it’s a little confusing in there this time I didn’t tell you okay I crushed up a VHS tape or in a blender and I somehow got it into that SD card slot so if this doesn’t make it to air it’s probably because of that at least at least it’s your fault okay so we’re in Orlando kind of you know the only reason I’ve ever come to Orlando Florida is uh just for the amusement parks yes and unfortunately we don’t have time when we’re here at playlist to go to the amusement parks but how many of you who are here at playlist you’re taking a trip over to Disney or one of the theme parks while you’re here is that happening yeah yeah okay yeah yeah like that guy yeah why got yours I mean we’re so close yeah it’s Disney we should I mean their parks are right across the street guys what kind of question is that yeah I’m only here because of my daughter I would be at the park right now if it wasn’t my daughter and we got a thumbs up on that one what’s your name sir mad let’s just go with dad Matt welcome and your daughter’s name grace well thanks thanks for being here instead of at the park Rhett just said he would rather be at the park too I think it’s what you were saying no I was going to say that dads are likely to get decapitated at that’s where I’m going with this and this is what you’ve talked to me about beers you know for I’ve never ridden Space Mountain is that what it’s called yeah you caught a magic mountain a couple of minutes ago but okay yeah that’s I think that’s the general it’s Magic Kingdom and there’s a Space Mountain but you’re always going on and on about the decapitation well because first of all as I’ve established before that the thing that really I enjoy about amusement park rides is the Percy lieved risk of dying which makes me want to line up for anything stay with me here so you get on this ride and there’s all these warnings about if you’re pregnant if you have a bad back I don’t I am not pregnant but I have a bad back yep and you know risk of injury risk of death all kinds of things and but you kind of know that you’re not going to die right you get onto this roller coaster and it goes all over the place and it does all these things and your body is telling your brain you are going to die but your brain is like no no it’s cool cuz knee right there’s a there’s a conflict so it’s basically reduced to like a death simulation right but the very loosely maybe I enjoy Space Mountain the most of any roller coaster not because it’s fast it only goes like 35 miles per hour life people know that it’s actually very slow but in it’s in the dark that’s what makes you feel like you’re losing control but it’s because of this story that’s been going around as have you heard the story about the guy getting decapitated at Space Mountain I hear it every week you’re always telling me the story I’m fine like I’ve heard this story and and I’m like it can’t be true and of course a guy I’m gonna ride stay open if somebody’s head gets lopped off well here’s the story is that he stood up and I’m as tall as a normal person who stays standing up on a roller coaster that’s more fees if it’s his fault that’s more fees right so apparently the story goes that I don’t this is really morbid but he stood up and not only was he was decapitated below the shoulders which is a really nasty way to go well you get to keep your arms in the afterlife and but I as I’m riding Space Mountain I’m like this because I’m already about three feet out of the this old-style roller coaster but then I’ve got hair that you get decapitated and that’s important another three or four inches on top of that and so I’m always carrying that with me but that’s why I enjoy it so much I’m like that guy got decapitated maybe I’ll get decapitated then every time I get off I’m like I got still got my head well I’m going to do this again I mean I’m not as tall as you I think the the playlist experience is it’s not that I’m short is that Rhett is is too tall he’s kind of odd but there’s lots of uh rabid fans outside of the door that’s how I mean we wanted to get in but we had limited compiler code so we’ll go talk to the other mythical beast out there who are apparently clawing each other to death to get in here I don’t know if you can hear that or not yeah but I mean so you’re that much taller than me but when I’m on these rides is it it’s somebody did get decapitated out there you know that sound when you hear it right I mean you you’re you if you’re justified and kind of given the whole shrink when riding the ride but I find myself doing that too yeah you know how normal they take the snapshot and then you get off and they try to sell it to you and everyone I’m like it’s like I’m the dude without the neck well and I don’t have a rational reason for that but you but you also you know when I told link about this story he said this has got to be an urban legend I was like nah man this is I read it on the Internet it’s real but then I was like you know what we’re gonna talk about this on good mythical morning I will do some research and I will find out whether or not this is true and much to my own disappointment no one has ever been decapitated by Space Mountain it is a it is a legend it is a rumor but it is based on an incident with a crash test dummy crash test dummy that was used it when they opened the write up the first time and it like bounced out of the seat and his head came off that’s the best theory right now the only thing that’s ever really happened to somebody in their head on Space Mountain is one time someone from another part of the ride like up at the line dropped a candle from Frontierland and it hit a dude on the head what was a candle from Frontierland doing on Space Mountain no I they were like I gotta take my candle I got in Frontierland I got to keep it oh I’m gonna throw it down there and see what happens when I throw it into the the depths of space Mountain he suffered short-term memory loss but he kept his head so no but what I did look at this on the Internet the thing I did find is that if you’re gonna die on amusment part ride it’s not going to happen at Disney it’s probably gonna happen at a State Fair oh yeah you that’s when it does look stories look at the apparatus is apparatus that they’re using and all the mechanisms are exposed in such a way as to say look at me I’m going to fail on you you know you get on the ferris wheel and there’s like a trail retire that turns the ferris wheel yeah and you can tell where it’s supposed to be yet it’s eight inches over right and then every time awesome you come around you’re reminded of the fact that you’re probably going to die again and again that’s why I write it that’s why you buy the ticket yeah I I think okay if if other people share your experience then we should open an amusement park based on this principle death land yeah we’re okay this is this is how it’s going to work it I need to work with the title uh mmm death world alright but here’s what should happen someone should die every year like that it’s like okay I know I bought a ticket to this thing at some point someone this year is gonna die it could be me so the stakes are raised on one ride it’s just a random ride in the park every year someone is just gonna and then there’s a haunted house and there’s the guy who comes out with the chainsaw but once a year it’s a real chainsaw and you just think about how exciting to be if I were going to death well today I mean chances are we’re not gonna die mean there’s like a 99.999 percent chance that we’re not gonna die but somebody’s gonna die this year think about that yeah this place would sell out yeah would you go to a place like that yes dad your kids would yeah you know I think you want to have rides that are really friendly like I mean it’s a small world after all would actually be interesting if someone was gassed with like carbon monoxide on this well not me just just knowing that it could have I think you’re making some people feel like okay I’m sorry okay what about this it’s a small world when you might die you got you got the ride that goes up and then it drops you and then I think at Six Flags there’s one that just it accelerates you up really fast well one time it just one guy just keeps going yeah think about being in line for that guy you know what give them give them a pair of you that might work you know it’s like I got the parachute so I’ll probably be okay but there’s like they say there’s a 50% chance that it’ll fail but I think there’s all kinds of excitement in that but we need to call it be land with an asterisk oh yeah marketing and then at the bottom it says happy land except for that one person that dies every day yeah man we come we got some good ideas man yeah yeah at least we think so it’s interesting to have the benefit of people in the room to tell you immediately you don’t even have to wait for comments to say bad idea don’t do this why why are you guys even excited about this we’ve instructed our team to always react positively to everything we say so you know they get paid to do that you guys are giving your honest reaction and it’s kind of disconcerting thanks for liking and commenting on this episode go to netflix.com slash rhettandlink get you a free trial help support the show you know what time it is in the answers of wheeling the wheel all the way across the United States of America we have an ice bucket I personally think this is better than the wheel it’s more exciting for me personally all of you guys Oh have put Willie knees in there I’m not going to use the one that fell out that would be wrong oh we should reach in together okay weird that was great really rats you can’t do you can’t do this yes you can some better be really really good since
