GMMore 1246: Slippery Cup Stacking

(rooster cawing and lion roaring) – Welcome to Good Mythical More. Thank you for hanging out with us throughout this entire episode. Got some cup stuff. – Sudden secret. (whispering) – Where do you keep it? (laughter) – I can’t say. Can’t say, my wife doesn’t even know about it. – Wow. Is it that weird closet under your stairs? Like that Harry Potter area? – Shepherd goes in there. It’s offsite. Offsite. – John and Jen, Jen and John, Johnny Jen? Hey I don’t care who comes first, but both come out because you’re both invited to participate in an extreme cup stacking challenge. – Yes we are. – How are you guys first of all? – Doing great. – Great. – Both of you seem like you know how to do this. This is something that you’re like “yeah, I’ve done it a couple of times. – So these are like? I’ve never done this so these are specifically designed for stacking but not for anything else. – Yeah, you can’t drink out of these cups. – Yeah they have holes in them. – It’s for maximum air flow for quick speed. – I think it’s so you don’t catch air as you’re trying to like throw them down and blow all the other ones away. Don’t quote me on that. – Official cups, World Sport Stacking Association. – I’ve seen some YouTube videos of people who are incredible at this. – Let’s switch places. How’s his gonna work. Tournament style? – We’re gonna do tournament. – Yeah, yeah. John and I are gonna go then whoever wins stands here? I don’t know. (laughter) – She’s like “stands here”. – So whoever wins from our round will go to the championship round, you guys will compete against each other, whoever wins from your round goes against one of us. – And stands here? – And stands here. – And we’ve never done this but we’re gonna learn by watching you guys. – Exactly so. – I usually learn by doing or just by speaking without thinking but I’m not gonna do that right now. – Do you stand or do you sit for this? – I think. – I would? – I’m gonna sit but you can do whatever you think is faster for you. So you’re going to start with three stacks. – One two three. – So you’ve got, – Why you over there, Rhett? – You’ve got three cups, three cups, six cups. – Three cups, three cups, six cups. Come over here, Rhett. – Are we using the whole brown situation here? – What’s that? – Are you using this whole? – Is the paper the playing board or something? – I guess, yeah. Yes it is. – So basically you wanna create a pyramid so you’ll create a pyramid, boom, boom, like that. – Oh well. – I’m missing a cup. – And then, – There’s two cups there. – Is there? (laughter) – I’m missing a cup. – I’ve done this plenty of times, my bad guys. – And then you have to stack them all back up. – But that didn’t make a triangle. – What do you mean it didn’t make a triangle? – It made, – It makes a two dimensional triangle. – Yeah. – You don’t make like the full situation. – It’s gonna look like this starting out. – He’s making like, that’s three. – You’re making three triangles. – Yeah you’ve got, see look. Look at the world stacking situation. – Yes yes, it’s their logo, got it. – Three six three. – And so, then you try to stack them back down to where they were. – Whoa, whoa whoa magic! (laughter) – Just like that. – So you’ve got to build it, then unbuild it. – Yeah, so it starts like this and it ends like this. – Okay you guys get ready. – So we just did a practice so this is the real deal right here? – Oh are we starting now? – This is the real deal. Okay Jen are you ready? – We have rules where our hands start. – So I think our hands, once we, – I want you to shift. See how, look at the cheat monitor over here, you’re offscreen so that’s as far as you can move over if we want the mythical beasts to see what you’re doing. – Oh. – You’re almost a little too far too. – Okay cool. – You guys can scoot in as much as you want. – Don’t worry about us. – Okay well. That might not work. – So once your hands, Maybe have this first one up a little bit further. – All I’m saying is that you don’t need to go past that so you can do anything you want over here. – Great, that’s what I’ll do. – Okay cool. So you guys just count us down from five and, – Where should we start our hands? – I’m gonna start my hands right here. Well, we can do like this. Yeah. – You have to start like this. – That’s weird but good. – Just starting like you’re a mummy. – Okay five, four, three, two, one, go. (distressed groaning) – Jen you’re alright, you’re nesting. – Oh gosh, where’s the other cup?! – Jen has made it, she is unmaking it. She’s unmaking it, she’s done! – Jen Jen Jen Jen! Jen won! Good job, Jen. – Wow. – That’s how not to do it so. – John just lost. – So nerveracking to watch! – You’re sweating? – Yeah. – In the pits or anywhere else? – Everywhere. – It’s so nerveracking to watch. – You guys wanna do a quick little practice or you think you’ve got it? – I don’t think we should practice. – You’ve got four in this stack. – No I don’t. I do? – Yes. – It’s on me. – John panicked. – It’s not that Jen went really fast, it’s just that she actually did it. (laughter) – It’s just that she did it. – Link, I blacked out. (laughter) – Well if you don’t remember what happened you did great, John. – Thanks. – I was watching Jen the whole time. I had to choose who I was gonna watch and I’m glad I watched her. – It was a good call. – I’m not 100 percent sure what I’m supposed to do but I think that’s all part of it! – Ooh ohh! – Look at the the cups. – So this is gonna be stacked three, like a pyramid, this will be all these stacked up, three on the bottom, two in the middle. – We said no practicing! – Uh oh. And then you have to restack them all so they end up like this, got it? – Alright guys this is the semi finals so this is for real. – Okay. – Go ahead and go mummy style please? Mummy style. – Okay you got the count down. – Alright here we go. Five, four, three, two, one, go! Oh man this is so quick. This is fast. – Got it! – Now redo it. – Oh gosh, oh gosh. Oh gosh. – Ahh! Where do I stand, John? Do I stand here? – Oh gosh. I didn’t even do that right. – It’s scary right? It’s scary. – Jen, you’re going down. Where are you Jen? Where are you Jen? I know you’re, you’re going down. Pam’s gonna be crying. Pam, you watching this? – Probably, yeah. – But you’re not doing regular cups. – Pam is Jen’s mom. – You’re doing whatever’s under here. – Ooh. – What, okay. – This is a good cup so. – Championship round. – Where do I put these over here? – Choose your poison. – Who chooses? Okay, Link chooses. Are you giving this to me? Oh, okay. – So one of these has what and one of these has what? Cups and cups? – [Man Offscreen] One of them is oiled and one of them is normal. – Okay. – I see, dang it I see the oil. (laughter) – [Man Offscreen] Link has the oiled cups. – You did the reverse, you knew I was going to try to take Jen’s because you wanted me to get the, – [Man Offscreen] Obviously. – That’s what the paper’s for. – Very oily. – How did, Jen, can we talk for a second? – Yeah, let’s talk. – I’ve never done this before except for when you just saw me do it. – Right. I’ve also never done this before except for when you just saw me do it. – Oh really? – My argument’s not gonna work then. You knew where I was going with that. – Oh yeah. I know you’re trying to screw me over. – But I’m so sad, Jen. Look how sad I am. – But you were faster than Jen, Link. – You think? – Yeah, you went very fast. – Oh okay. – You were doing your own cups, how do you know that? – He was done way before I was. – So are you gonna cheer for somebody? – I am incredibly competitive. – I’m pulling for Jen. – I do not have a competitive bone in my body. I really don’t. I just want you to be happy. – Don’t let me win. – I’m not going to let you, okay. Would that make you happy? – No! – If you lose, that’ll make you happy? If you win by me trying really hard and you embarrassing me that’s what’s gonna make you happy? – That would make me so happy. – Okay, alright I’ll try then. – Oh, mummy. – I’m gonna cheer for you, Rhett’s gonna cheer for Jen. – I don’t wanna touch myself now. – Let’s go, mummy style. – John you’re cheering for me? – Three, two, one, go. – Let’s go Link! Come on! Quicker, quicker than that! Come on Link! Let’s go, right there, focus. – It’s really hard, guys. – You’ve got this. You’re good. Look at that, Jen’s so slow. Jen’s so slow. – Jen’s done. Wow. – Honestly though? – The problem is not, – Is the oil hard? – The difficulty is not, you guys should try this, – Ya’ll don’t even want to know what my heart rate is right now. – Let me sit back down because this is the kind of thing I can get into. – Oh god, why’d I let that happen? – You’ve got a swollen? – A swollen gland? – You’ve got a swollen gland. – I tried to do two at the same time and I think I shouldn’t have done that. – Got a sore throat or something? – No, I’m coming over. – Coming over? – You know what, this is what I should have done. It should have gone like this. – I’m coming over a cold. Jen and I are having our own conversation about diagnosing whatever’s wrong with her. – So are you supposed to do that kind of in front like that? Like I’m trying to not get in my own way, you know what I’m saying? So like if you? – You guys playing for the loser’s spot? – Yeah, this is the second round. So if you come over here and do one at a time like that. – Okay okay. – Second. – I’m just going slow I guess. Although some people do it like three six? – I’m gonna give you a little hint. – Yeah? – The challenge is not really that they’re slippery but that they won’t come apart so whenever you want to grab them apart you need two hands. – Do they all have to be in the same line? That’s my question. People who actually know how to do this? – It seems as if they should be. – They should be in. – They have to be in the same line which makes it harder, right? So really, do you have to do it in a certain order? – No. – No. – Because you would do like that, then you would do this. – I’m sure there’s a superior order that none of us. – Oh god. (laughter) – You just started to restack them. – Alright here we go. In five, four, – Mummies. – Mummies. Three, two, one, go! Get a good look at it, John. You can do this, you can do this. – Two hands. – Stuck with the oil. – Okay! – Keep going, keep going, keep going! Keep going! Don’t stop til you’re done, this is for you now! – Let’s cut to a commercial. (laughter) – Yikes. (cheering) – Everybody’s a winner here today. Especially Jen. – Good job, Jen. – Thank you.
