(rooster crows) (lion roars) (wheel clicking) – Welcome to Good Mythical More. – 10 Word Story? (Rhett chuckles) – Whenever. – Terrance. – Twists. – His. – Lies. – Bobby. – Smells. – My. – Tortured. – Past. – Ooh. Whenever Terrance twists his lies, Bobby smells my tortured past. – Right because Terrance, here’s what’s– – Quite a web that we’ve woven. – Terrance is basically, he’s basically, he’s woven a web of lies. – Yeah. – But it’s about me and my tortured past that Bobby can smell metaphorically. – Right, he just picks up on it. – But interestingly, it also is literally because of the way I smell. – And you think, you think we’re good at writing a 10 word story, what if we wrote like a whole novel? (Rhett laughs) – That’s exact, first of all, that’s exactly how we wrote it. Every other word back and forth. It took months. – We’re gonna taste some specifically Halloween-themed candies. There’s like Zombie Skittles here, Spooky Kisses. We’re gonna try all of these. These are, the candy companies cloying for you to buy their– – Trying so hard. – Their stuff. – Trying so hard. – They can’t just make it Halloween trick-or-treat size, they gotta make it themed.

(grunts) God, I can’t get in the, scissors. – Okay I got that open, so and this is, okay, spooky shapes. – Ooh look how spooky these Kisses are, Link. – I’m particularly, I wanna show what all of these are. Let’s try the– – You know Hershey’s Kisses, not on our board. – Okay so we’ve got– – Hershey’s Kisses is a good candy. – Let’s start with the Spookies. Now I wonder if they’re all the same. You’re opening an orange, I’m opening a green. – I think they’re all the same, bro. – So it’s just the wrapper. – But one is boo, one is scary, and one is creepy. – I’m eating creepy. I’m gonna get a cross-section and see if anything’s in it. Nothing’s in it. – You ever get one of those big Hershey’s Kisses? The giant one. – Yeah like this big. It’s like the size of your stomach. Your stomach. – Hollow on the inside. – Really? – That was one of the most disappointing things as a child. My mom got me one of those and I was just looking forward to being in my room, working my way through a solid piece of chocolate. – Just gnawing on it. (Link mimics gnawing) – And then I just right into it and it was hollow and I was like what? – I think it’s– – Disappointing. – It’s for the best. – And there’s nothing in there but except air. But-cept. – Hey mom, there’s nothing in this but-cept air. – But-cept is a really good word. – That’s something that Locke would have said– – But-cept. – When he was like, there was a lot of Locke-isms when he was very young. – Like when he called strawberries water mines. (Link chuckles) – Water mines. – That when he was like one. – Okay so, and then what did he say, he had one he called girls glirls. – Yeah yeah, glirls. – Glirls, and there was another one, right? – There was many. – Many Locke-isms. – Jessie wrote them all down in a cute little book. (chuckles) That we’ve never looked at. – All right. – But you know what, now we should, we should. – We got Reese’s Ghosts. We’ve got Reese’s Pumpkins. We’ve got, okay, this is the same. We’ve got Hershey’s– – Look at that. This is a pretty low effort adjustment on the part of York. – Hershey’s Grave Souls. – You know what I’m saying, like look at that, you basically already have a pumpkin shape thing and you just made it a little bit flatter. How much money did York spend on the machines to make this little adjustment? And was it worth it, York? – Well they obviously thought it was. Because someone in a board room justified it. – I really like it, it’s so refreshing. Just smelling it. You don’t like the peppermint and the chocolate together but I believe this is one of the most perfect candies that there is. Again, not on the board. – I’m interested in these two Reese’s– – Generation Z doesn’t like peppermint with their chocolate. – I do think there’s something to be said for the re-package-ization and shape-ization of the Reese’s because it– – You think it changes the delivery? – It changes the ratio of peanut butter to chocolate. Oh my goodness and with the– – Yeah white chocolate, dude. – With the ghost they’ve done a white chocolate. – You know why, ’cause ghosts are white. – What is this supposed to be? This is just a, look, that’s supposed to be a pumpkin, guys. Does that look like a pumpkin to you? It doesn’t really look like a pumpkin. – Again– – It looks like a melted– – They’re using the York machine. Mm, ooh, white chocolate’s good. – Not as much chocolate. – Not as good as regular chocolate though. – But it’s, it’s just for the holiday. – Yeah you could do it for a week. You can do it for a month. – Hmm. – This is definitely a certain personality type. – It tastes sweeter. – That falls for this and I believe that I am that personality type. – I like this. – Any person who regularly buys whatever they’re selling in a fast food window is the same person they’re marketing to when they do this. The problem is, I just don’t need that much candy. Now, I know you’ve seen me eat a lot of candy. But in my everyday life, not a lot of candy happens. – Now this one we don’t have to eat because all it is is… No I got you. Teamwork. – Yeah. How many– – Teamwork makes the Halloween work. – How many internet (chuckling) influencers does it take to open a package of glow in the dark, what is it? – That’s how we wanna be known, as internet influencers. – That’s what I want on my gravestone. – We don’t have– – He was an influencer. – We don’t have to open these because– – He influenced so many through the internet. – They’re just packaged with glow in the dark packaging. Inside there’s no surprises. So this is– – I’m not gonna taste Kit Kat ’cause Kit Kat, Kit Kat is in our competition. – Glow in the dark wrapper. Charge under a light so– – Taste it. – There’s a lot more labor involved in getting these ready. You don’t just have to open a bag which usually takes two internet influencers but you also have to charge them under a light before, maybe you could just put ’em out in the sun, but then what’s gonna happen, they’re gonna melt. – Ants. – Ants are gonna show up. – Yep. – So– – And uncles. – This seems like it would be easier to catch ’em. Catch sight of ’em when you’re out there in the dark. Kids gettin’ run over at Halloween, you know. Trick-or-treating, you gotta be careful. – Every year, at least one. – You gotta be careful. You know people are scared of the razor blades, like– – Be scared of the vehicles. – You gotta be scared of the cars. But what is this? – Zombies. – And a zombie, just a form factor, or does it actually taste like rotting flesh? – There’s absolutely no different between, you know what, Sour Patch did it right. As far as I can tell, I could be wrong, they changed absolutely nothing about these. They just put ’em in a different package. (Link chuckles) Because really, listen. It’s just like a YouTube video, it’s all about the click. – No, they’re– – It’s all about the point of purchase. – Their head looks like cauliflower. It is different. – That’s what all Sour Patch Kids look like already, dude. – Oh yeah? – You ever looked at one? – No. I’m afraid to. – You don’t have to worry about what’s in your video, you just have to get people to click on it. And you don’t have to worry about what you do with the candy. Why go through the trouble of making it shaped like a pumpkin when you can just say it’s shaped like a pumpkin in a thumbnail. – Yeah, I’m surprised that Sour Patch Kids didn’t make it on our, oh here’s, see here’s a normal Sour Patch Kid. – [Rhett] But they’re same shape. – They’re the same shape. – [Rhett] I mean they actually make it look like it’s different. – [Link] They make it look like it’s a Frankenstein. – [Rhett] They didn’t do that. They didn’t add that. – They didn’t add nothing, here. Let me open this up. – I think what we’re discovering– – We’re about to blow the lid off of this. – A Sour Patch Kid zombie kinda looks like a Sour Patch Kid. – I mean this is the spooky. They’re the exact same, you’re right Rhett. – It is scarier though, I will say that much. This is false advertising. They’re making it look like it’s got Frankenstein nails coming out the side or the electrodes or whatever those were. – And the person who thought of it got a raise. – They were like– – The only money they’ve spent. – How we gonna get these electrodes onto every single Sour Patch Kid and then Daryl was like, (snaps fingers) hey y’all. I don’t think we have to. (chuckles) Daryl is now the CEO of Sour Patch. – I always thought they looked like zombies anyway. – Right. – We blew the lid off of that shenanigans and now I’m glad to say that Sour Patch Kids did not make our tournament at all. – Yeah, Daryl had the right idea ’cause you don’t need to do it. – Daryl. Zombie Skittles. – Okay, here we go. Let’s see what’s going on with these. – Most taste delicious but some taste like rotten zombie. Dare to try? – Oh, you were right. – But I was– – ‘Cause you read the packaging. – With the wrong candy. Right about what, zombie flesh? – You were right, that could have been a strategy for Sour Patch but Daryl didn’t think of it. Daryl can’t think of everything. Why do you expect so much of Daryl? He came up with the idea to do absolutely nothing with the zombie Sour Patch Kids. Now you want him to think, oh, one of ’em should taste like rotten flesh? – I’m trying to smell of it. – That’s Skittle Cindy, she came up with that. – To see if, I don’t wanna have to eat so many Skittles– – Cindy, the CEO of Skittles. – That one good? – Normal. – Normal. – Normal. – Normal. – Normal. – Normal. – Oh, rotten flesh! Got it. – Really? – It tastes like durian, actually. – Normal. – I think it’s durian flavor. Cindy, is it durian flavor? – Normal. Oh! It does taste like durian. – Yeah, which I like. – No it’s bad, ha! Oh. – I like it better than regular Skittles. – That’s a shock to the system. This is the one to get, Zombie Skittles, y’all. – This is the only one that exper-o-wen-cho-wee created something for us, you know what I’m saying? – Way to go, Skittles! – Skittles, you win today. – Yeah, even though– – You’re not, yeah, you are. – They’re a sixth seed. – Yeah but unfortunately Zombie Skittles are not what’s competing, it’s just regular Skittles. – Ooh good on them. – I was over here trying to look up what the actual CEO’s name was ’cause it’s not Daryl but do you know what Sour Patch Kids are called in France? – Sa-wa. (crew laughing) Pash, Keeds. – L’enfants De Sour. – [Stevie] So close, Very Bad Kids. – Oh, Very Bad Kids. – [Stevie] And do you know what they were originally– – L’enfants En Marl. – Called when they were invented by a man named Frank in the ’70s? – Frank invented ’em? – [Stevie] Mars Men. – Frank Marsmen? – [Stevie] No. (chuckles) That’s what they were called, Mars Men. – Mars Men. – Mars Men. – Oh that makes sense. But then we learned that there are no men on Mars. – If they mal. L’enfant de poo poo. (crew member laughs) So this week at the– – Round table of dim lighting we’re going to be exploring how our childhood informed the novel and the way we’re gonna do that is we’re actually gonna read some of the novel.
