(rooster crowing) (lion roaring) – Welcome to Good Mythical More, we’re gonna play “Let’s Be Safe,” it’s a game where we can all learn ways to be safe. I’m glad you’re here. – But first, let’s check our voicemail, why don’t we? – Nice. – [Chase] Hey, I know this voicemail box is technically for Rhett and Link, but this voicemail’s actually for Chase. Chase, you’re a stud. You’re super hot, man. Keep doing what you’re doing. – Well, hello, Chase. – You’re a stud, you’re super hot. I kinda thought it was Chase. – I thought it was Chase, too. – For a little bit. – Yeah, yeah, I was like “He has a Chase tone of voice.” – Not that we wouldn’t think that- – Chase, that wasn’t you, right? – [Chase] No, that was definitely not me. – I mean, it sounds exactly like him when he speaks in the microphone. – Pretty close. – [Chase] But thank you very much, very sexy-voiced stranger. – “Let’s Be Safe,” the game, is from the 90s. Featuring a parent’s guide by TV personality Joan Lunden, co-host of “Good Morning America.” – Joan Lunden was at one point the most trusted woman in America, or among the most trusted women in America. I mean not that she did something to now not be trusted, it’s just, she’s not popular anymore. – “Dear parents, with all the news these days about missing children, we’re all understandably concerned.” That’s a hell of a way to open a letter on a board game. – It was the 80s, man. – “Sincerely, Joan Lunden.” – We cut right to the chase. – That was the whole letter. It’s all she wrote. No, there’s topics in this that help, parents can play it with their kids to help ’em know how to respond. – I actually think this is a pretty good idea. – All right, so do you wanna be the blond lady, or the, well… – It doesn’t matter to me, man. – I like that tank top. All right, you’re blond lady. – Okay, and we each draw five blue cards. – Yup. You, me, you, me, you, me. And you hold these, and you can play them, we’ll see as we’re going here, so you go first. Can take a look at your situations. These are, we have responses to situations, and then when you roll, you’re gonna go one, so you’re gonna land on a yellow, and take the situation. – And now I try to see if I’ve got something, okay. “There is a fire at your house,” okay? So I’m trying to figure out what I need to do. – So only tell us the one that you’re gonna play, and if you can come up with the match, or something that we would accept as appropriate… You got a fire at your house. Huh. What’s your best bet? Run out of the house, do you have that? – I have, my best bet of these five, and I’m not joking, is “Go to the nearest cash register.” – It’s probably not in the house. – I mean that means I’m leaving. – I’ll accept that. – Okay, all right. – So you don’t have to move back. – Really? – I’m kinda making this up. And then you get to draw another one, so you get to add this one to your- – Well I add the blue to my thing. – It’s my turn. Oh, I’m barely on the two. I’m sorry, I knocked you over. – Okay. – So, my scenario is… “A stranger asks you to come into her car.” – Okay, all right, okay. (Link hums thoughtfully) While you’re making that decision, I will say, I’m not joking, I think this is actually a really good idea. – Yeah. – Because there’s so many conversations, I mean, as parents, there’s so many conversations that, sometimes you just think, like just the other day, my, who is now 17 year old son, was about to put something that had some foil on it in the microwave. And I was like “Bro, you can’t do that!” He was like “Well what’s gonna happen?” I was like “Well, it’s gonna spark, you can’t put anything that has any metal in the microwave.” – I knew that, of course. – And I was like, “Have I not told you that?” He was like “No.” – Bad dad. – Is that in this game? – Well, these are, maybe. “A stranger asks you to come into her car,” and I’m gonna say “Ask a lifeguard to help you.” Get in the woman’s car. – Right, right. “Help me step up into that car.” – All right, so I’m good to go, I’m gonna draw another one of these puppies. – Two. Oh, I get to do a blue one. – I don’t know how that works. It just means you get another option, which is nice. Now it’s my go. – Okay, I got another option. – Oh, I got a one, so now I get another option, you spin again. – Okay. – I like having these options. – Two. Oh, I get another one. I’m stocking up on blue cards! Of course I got two. – All right, so I’m going to two. I’m stocking up on blue cards. I got some good ones now, though. – Let’s be safe. Two. And that means here- – Your scenario is… – “You have to go to a public restroom.” – Oh, crap. – Okay, all right, all right. – That’s trouble. – Uh-huh. – I’ma tell you right now, I have the real answer, “Have a friend go to the restroom with you.” – Okay, well I’ve got the next best thing, which is “Leave the dog or cat alone.” (crew laughs) So, you gonna accept that? – Yeah, I’m gonna accept that. It’s my go here. All right, I’m at three. One, two, three. – Oh, you get another blue card, all right. And here we go. I’ve got one, give me a blue card! – Oh, okay. Then it’s my go. – Four. – I’m gonna give it a four, one, two, three, four. And I’m gonna draw a scenario. – I’m learning a lot. – “Your friend asks you to take something that isn’t yours.” – Oh, that friend asked you to steal. I’ve been in that situation. – Shoplifting a 45 vinyl record. – Oh, that’s what specifically- – Shoplifting, your friend asks you to shoplift. I’m gonna say “Don’t touch food that you find.” No. – I don’t think I can accept that answer. – “Ask a grown-up to answer the door”? Here it is. “Part of being a family is helping one another.” – Okay, yeah, so steal it, got it, all right. – I figured it out. – Now I’m going three. One, two, three. The situation is, “You find something to eat or drink.” – I had the thing for that one, too. – Yeah, so this is a little girl just finding some stuff in a park. – “Don’t touch food that you find” is what you’re looking for. And while you’re looking for that I’ll say that, if you wanna get that collectible Mythical Snackiverse lunchbox and thermos set, it’s only available to Mythical Society third degree members, and you gotta join third degree quarterly or annual by March 31st in order to qualify. MythicalSociety.com. Once it’s gone, poof, it’s only on the shelves of those who were members. What you got, Rhett, for…? – “You find food.” – You find food. – I’m going with “Say no, marijuana is not good for you.” – Okay, yeah. – ‘Cause you never what’s gonna be in it, it might be an edible inside that burger container. – That’s true. All right, I’ve got a four, one, two, three, four, my scenario is, “You are in the park, and someone approaches you and acts strangely.” – That dude is acting very strange. – So this is a dude with a pronounced midsection doing some sort of dance. – Yeah yeah yeah, wow, he’s acting very strange. What are you gonna do about that? – He’s acting strangely. – I don’t know what I would do. – “Ask a grown-up to get your ball.” Ask that dude to get your ball and then run. It’s like “Hey, go get my ball,” and then you can run, that would work. – I think I might accept that. – “Just say ‘No, I’m not allowed to ride with strangers.’” – He doesn’t look like he’s asking for a ride, he’s just kinda dancing in the park. – Or is he? That’s the best I got, man. I think it really works. – I’ll take that. Three. One, two, three. – Your scenario is… – “You are at the beach and can’t find Mom or Dad.” Oh, this, oh man, this is, ooh, I hate when this happens. – Clearly they both drowned. I’ve been at the mall, and I couldn’t find my mom. ‘Course I didn’t go to the mall with my mom. No, I do remember getting separated from my mom at the mall, and boy, that is not a good feeling. – I don’t have a good one. – So, if you find her, let me know. (crew laughs) – I mean, all I’ve got is, “Never take candy from a stranger. Tell a parent or teacher.” Now, you can’t find your parents. So, you have to find a teacher. If you can’t find the teacher, basically, when you’re lost and you can’t find your kids, strangers may try to give you candy. Don’t take it, just keep crying. – I’ll accept that. – Stay in the same place. You can’t find your parents, stay in the same place. – I’m gonna move two, one, two, oh, I get to draw another card. Now you spin. – Two. Situation is… – What have you gotten yourself into now, Rhett? – What’s wrong with me? “You can’t find Mom or Dad in the store.” Why do I keep getting lost? At the beach, I think this is my problem at this point. – You need one of those kid leashes. – This is the kid’s problem, okay? If you can’t find your parents at the beach, and then at the store, you deserve to get lost. – The common denominator is you. So do you have anything there? Anything different? Probably not. – I mean, “Ask a grown-up to answer the door.” Of the store? – ‘Cause maybe the parents are knocking. – The parents are knocking, but you don’t wanna answer it, because you need a grown-up to do that. – Ooh, one. Big ol’ one. My scenario is, “You see a strange dog or cat in your neighborhood.” This has happened to you, you’ve seen a strange cat in your neighborhood, what’d you do? – I pet it and made friends with it, and then I think it got eaten by a coyote. That wasn’t my fault. – Look at this guy, he’s just looking at a strange dog. The dog’s tail is wagging, it’s not foaming at the mouth. – Yeah, I think that this is kinda 80s, too-safe 80s, like, if a friendly dog comes at you at the park, just pet it. Let’s not teach fear of dogs. It’s not like there’s a bunch of rabid dogs in the park. It’s just not a thing that really happens that much. – I got nothing good for this. – Well draw another blue. – Oh, really? All right, fate is going to give me my answer. “No, don’t go near the car, tell a grown-up!” – Yeah, right, yeah. – “No, don’t go near the dog, tell a grown-up!” – So you can do the ol’ switcheroo. – I have to move back for that one, I just didn’t have any. – Three, one, two, three. – What’s your scenario? – “Your mom wants you to watch your sister. You want to play.” Okay, so you’re kind of like a 10 year old, or whatever, and you have a little toddler. – So you say “Yes, Mom,” but then you don’t, and you just play. You got anything for this? – “You can say ‘No’ to anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.” – Really? – Yeah, “Mom, no, I’m not watching my sister, I’m going to play.” That’s neat, it’s teaching agency. – Autonomy. – Teaching agency. – One, two, three. My scenario is, “Your little sister wants to play with you.” This is kinda similar. – Right. – No mom involved. “Smoking can hurt your body.” – Yeah, right. Okay. That doesn’t feel like a good match, no. – “Just say ‘No.’ You know alcohol is not good for you.” I think this little sister wants to smoke and drink alcohol. – (indistinct) to smoke and drink, yeah, that’s why I said no to watching her, I didn’t want her slipping me pills and stuff. – “Instead, just ask a grown-up to get your ball.” – Okay. – I get to stay for that. – Three. One, two, three. “Your ball goes into the street.” Oh, this is a good one. – Oh, crap, you about to get run over! – Okay… – Look both ways! – I don’t know why I’ve only got four cards now. – I mean I have “Ask a grown-up to get your ball.” You know what? Have some more cards. – Yeah, thank you. That would help this game. I don’t think we’re playing it right. All right, “Go to the nearest cash register,” I mean that still plays. – ‘Cause I have the correct answer, “Ask a grown-up to get your ball,” so you’re not gonna get that one. – Okay, the ball’s in the street, so, “Go to the nearest friendly house, store, or play station and call your parents.” It’s like, if you wanna be extra safe? – “My ball’s in the street!” – “Ball’s in the street again!” – “I can see it from here!” – “Mister Policeman, my ball’s in the street! I walked all the way to the police office.” – You know what? Let’s forget the board and the spinning entirely, that’s for losers. Let’s just go with scenarios. “A friend offers you some beer or wine.” Ooh, and it’s in a paper sack. Mm-hm, friend offers you beer or wine, what are you gonna do? – Let’s just see who’s got a better scenario I guess here. – “Ask a grown-up to get your beer or wine.” “Just say no, you know alcohol is not good for you.” That’s it, see, that one matches, that’s nice. I’ve won. Here’s your scenario. – Well, “Ask a lifeguard to help you.” Lifeguards are usually at least… – Always around no matter where you’re at? – Well, 16, and they can look 18, because, like, they might have, like, I don’t know, they’ve been in the sun a lot, so they’ve aged a little bit, so they can get cigarettes. – Cigarettes. – 16-year-old lifeguards can score cigs. – I like this one, man. – “Your friend wants you to damage someone else’s property.” Okay. – And the property happens to be the school. Didn’t we have people damage the school- – I’ve got the answer to this one. So “Your friend wants you to damage someone else’s property.” “Give the directions if you can, but do not get too close to the car.” So again, let them do it, encourage them to do it, but do not partake. If you get into the car, you’re an accomplice. – What else do we have here? “You can’t find your house key.” Just sit on the stoop until your parents get home, that’s what I did. “A stranger telephones you when you are home alone.” Use a really horrible Australian accent, that’s what I always did. “‘Ello! You must ‘ave the wrong number!” – You did an accent? – “Crikey!” – Something tells me that you’re not joking. – “A stranger asks you for directions.” – “Give the directions if you can but do not get too close to the car!” – I mean, a stranger’s in a car, and you’re on a big wheel. Don’t give ’em directions. This is creepy. This one’s a question. “What is bad about smoking cigarettes?” “Smoking can hurt your body.” And finally, unless you wanna do another one. – Well I’m just waiting for, yeah, gimme a scenario. – I’ve gotta give you a good one. – And let me come up with something. – “Your friend,” no. That’s just printed on the board. “Your friend starts to tease someone.” Hm. Is there one in here that’s like, anything involving like a paintball gun? Where’s the fun? – Yeah, at this point, this just feels like, “Tell him to please call back. Never say you are alone.” – Oh. You’re still answering that one. – And use an Australian accent. – Ah, got it! See you tomorrow. – They think they’re calling Australia. – [Link] Get the latest quarterly collectible item, the Mythical Snackiverse lunchbox and thermos set, by joining the Mythical Society third degree quarterly or annual plan by March 31st.
