GMMore 1259: Secret Girls Bathroom Arcade

( rooster crows ) – ( lion roars ) Welcome to Good Mythical More. I spun the wheel, it just landed. Episode’s ended. Two man wave! Here it comes, Link. Here it comes. Whoo! There it goes. Oh. Here it comes, Link. Here it comes. Get ready! Get ready! Ha! Caught it. It’s mine now. Everyone in the whole coliseum hates me. Did you know you could do that? You can catch a wave and everyone will hate you but then you can Ebay that piece. I think you’ll just be a creep kinda sitting there going like this and the wave keeps going. You’re like, “I caught it.” That’s your opinion, man. Let’s bring in some Mythical crew members. Josh, Ellie, Kevin. We’ve got, um– we put a call out to Mythical crew people. All right, we wanna hear your weirdest, public restroom stories. ( laughs ) Yeah. And we said, “Which one?” And now we’re gonna– Are we gonna have to like issue apologies at the end of this? – I’m nervous about this. – I don’t know. – Come on up here, guys. – Apologies to who? I don’t know. I just feel like weird, public restrooms stories could get really odd. Well, let’s find out. Who wants to go first? – I’ll go first. – Okay. Um, so mine is a public school restroom. – Oh boy. – Okay. So I think that falls under public restroom. But in seventh grade I would stay after school for drama club– very cool, very cool seventh grader. And we would have to like work on the set and do all this stuff and all the guys who did stuff in drama club thought that the girls’ restrooms were different than men’s restrooms in the school, ’cause they’d never been in them. They are, right? I think this is sort of like a popular theory. And instead of being like, “No, they’re the same. They might have different colored tiles.” I was like, “Yes, they are different.” And I lied to them. I just lied to them and I told them that they were like super tricked out. Like arcade games, vending machines, – Urinals? – like plush coaches. No urinals. We had all the space because we didn’t have any urinals. – Yep, yep. – But that is how they’re different. – Just for the record. – Yeah, normally. They don’t have urinals and they smell tolerable. – Yeah, at times. – How would you know? I mean, you know, when the bathroom door’s open before I– – You’re always gazing in? – I notice the smell that doesn’t come from the girls’ bathroom that does come from the boys’ bathroom. So you told ’em it was like– it was like the basement of “Silver Spoons” or something. I don’t know that reference. – And I’m sure it is. – That’s fine. You’re younger than me. No one’s offended. So I just like would exaggerate and add things on. Like everyday until they were like dying to see the restroom. And I said like there’s this whole code, like girls can’t show boys the restroom. Like it’s a whole thing, like I would get in a bunch of trouble. And they were like, “Please, Ellie, show us the bathroom.” And I was like, “Well, because I’m putting myself on the line here, I need a dollar from each of you. And they paid me. I got five dollars. And I opened the door and then I closed it after they went in and I ran away. You kept that blood money? Yeah, I got cookies the next day. I never bought cookies, never enough money in my lunch money for cookies. They’re just walking around looking for the arcade. Yeah, yeah. They were– There were no girls in there I hope. There were no girls in there. It was like after– it was like a drama club after school. Yeah, drama club blows. Did they want their money back? Like did you deal with fallout? They did want the money back, but I had already spent it on cookies. I think they were like– there was no big drama. They were just like– I think they were like impressed by the scam. – Yeah, you got ’em. – Yeah. That’s my bathroom story. – That was it? – That’s it. – That’s it. – We should move on to another one. I was making fun of the fact that nobody jumped in really. – Oh, I can do that. – Jump in. I’m in the middle, it’s natural. Mine takes place in an upscale Brazilian steakhouse. Fogo de Chao in Beverly Hills, real fancy place. – Yeah. – I’ve been there once. It’s lovely. Have you checked out the bathroom? I’m sure I’ve used it, but I don’t recall. It’s an all-you-can eat buffet so like you’ve probably been to the bathroom there. If you open the door I’ll give you five dollars. I’ll just buy cookies with the money. Anyway so I went in the bathroom and their sinks are those like super fancy sinks that just look like a rock that’s been hollowed out and there’s like a natural spigot but there are no like knobs or levers or like even a sensor and so I was like running my hands under this and nothing was happening and then this like huge hulking dude just comes up next to me and he starts doing the same thing, mimicking my motions. I look at him and he’s like wearing sandals and shorts at this really upscale place. And I was like, “That is a power move. Who is this guy?” Then I just go like, “Man, how do you make this thing work?” And I look at him and he goes, “I don’t know.” And I’m like, “Oh my god, you’re Lakers starting small forward – Metta World Peace.” – Oh my god! And then he just goes, “Yeah, man.” And then we just both go back for like a full minute to minute and a half just like waving our hands on here, like tapping the mirror. And then he just turns to me and just goes, “I won’t tell if you won’t.” Then we just walked out without washing our hands. So, Metta, I know that you did not wash your hands. – Circa 2009. – You told! I know, I broke my oath. He’s out of the NBA now. He’s fine. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – Uh, but yeah. He’s out of the public eye now. I didn’t know how much like adoration I could– ’cause he’s one of my favorite basketball players ever. Like hardnosed defender, I modeled my J.V. basketball game after him. – Ron Artest. – Ron Artest. – Wow. – And I didn’t know how much adoration you can show a celebrity in a bathroom. I figured like as little as possible. – Yeah, I think that’s one of the classic places. – Did you shake his hand? No. He didn’t wash his hands. – Right. – That’s disgusting. What happened to you? – I don’t know who that is. – I got Hep C from him. I’ll send you his highlight reel. – He changed his– – Didn’t know who “Silver Spoons” is. He had a regular name and then he changed his– Yeah, he was Ron Artest. And he was like really outta control. Like went into the stands to fit a fan one time. And then he totally changed his image and became Metta World Peace. – That’s his name. – Yeah, he’s a huge mental health activist now. – Like he’s awesome. – Yeah, his jersey said “World Peace.” – Yeah. – Not Metta World Peace. It’s his actual name. – That’s his legal name. – I think that’s great. I love that. – Good story. – Better if he washed his hands. So mine didn’t involve a basketball player. But I went to Magic Mountain like as a regular thing, Six Flags with my friends, I had a season pass. So in this story I was 16-years-old and it was a ritual that on the way back from Magic Mountain we would stop at the In-N-Out for dinner. – Oh yeah. – So we were at the In-N-Out, and we all ate, this group of my friends. And then we’re leaving and my friend Brian said he had to use the bathroom before he left. So Brian goes back to the bathroom, everyone leaves and I think I’m gonna play a little prank on Brian in the bathroom because that would be really funny. So I wait a minute and then I follow him in the bathroom and I’m kind of improvising this prank. But I get a bunch of paper towels and then I wad them up and then I run them under the sink so I had this big, wet paper ball thing. And then there’s two stalls in there so I kinda like have to look through the cracks to see which one he’s in and one of them looks empty the next one I see like a shoulder. So I just lean over and I go boom! Like that in there. And then I wait and I don’t hear anything. – Oh gosh. – Oh no. – And I think– – Gotta do it again. I think maybe he’s just like, “Oh, Kevin.” You know and he’ll get me on the way out or something. – So– – Like a quiet resignation. Yes, exactly. So I leave the bathroom and I go outside in the parking lot with the rest of my friends and I’m just waiting for Brian to come out. I’m like, “Ooh, I got him good. I can’t wait to see what he says.” And I see Brian come out and he joins the group and he says nothing. And I think, okay, I must’ve missed. And as I’m sort of dismissing this prank gone wrong, this man walks out of the In-N-Out who’s probably 45, 50 years old twice my size, easy. I was a very small 16-year-old boy. And I notice he’s beelining it right for our group. And this guy’s like, he’s big, he’s like cut sleeves, he’s got a hat, he’s got a big old beard. And I’m like processing as he’s walking, like, this is the man that I hit. So he comes right for the group and then I’m thinking in my head, well, it’s okay. There’s a bunch of us. – He’s got to kill all of us. – Yeah. Sell any one of your friends down the river. He’ll never know it’s me. Five 16-year-olds versus a giant man. He comes up, stands in the group then he looks down at all of our shoes. And I happen to be wearing Converse with the American flag on them. – Oh no. – The only one in the group. So he looks down at my shoes, he looks at me and he’s big, so he comes up to me and he goes, “You ever do that again, I’m gonna kick the crap out of you.” It was much more colorful than that. And then my reaction to him, I was like paralyzed by fear. So I’m just like staring at him and I laugh. – Oh! – At his face. I go… ( mimicking laugh ) Gosh! – Like he enjoyed the prank, too. – Yes. And then he just continues to stare at me and then he walks away. And of course all my friends are like, “What the heck did you do?” – What did you do to his giant man? – Could’ve made up anything. I had to explain the whole thing to them. So I would like to apologize to that man. – Yeah. – If he’s ever watching. And I think the moral of my story is you just don’t wear American flag shoes. – I have white Converse. – Go generic. – Very generic. – Yeah. – Good pranking shoes. – Yeah. Everybody watch out for you now. If you ever do that again, like, when are we gonna be in the same restroom again? Yeah, that was my second thought. Yeah, yeah, but I’m glad you didn’t bring it up. I didn’t know. I totally would’ve done that.
