(rooster crowing) (lion roaring) (dramatic whooshing) – Welcome to Good Mythical More. Anybody in the mood for some 70-year-old Jell-O? – Me! – Me! – But, first- – Eat some paint drops. – We’re donating $1,000 to the Climate Reality Project to aid in their mission to catalyze a global solution to the climate crisis by making urgent action and necessity across every level of society. Please join us and join the cause, you all, at climatereality.project.org/donate. – Yeah. – Thank you for being a Mythical best. – Royal gelatin is and was a competitor to Jell-O. It still exists today. This flavor still exists today, but instead of buying the new blackberry gelatin, we just, well, I didn’t make it. We didn’t make it. Mikayla, did you make this? – [Mikayla] I wish. – She wishes. – You wish you made it? Who made this Jell-O? Because. – [Rhett] Well, don’t blame it on the person who made it. – I’m gonna blame it on the person who made it because it’s clearly not because it’s seventy years old. – [Stevie] Kitcheners. – Who? – [Stevie] The Kitcheners, you heard of them? – The Kitcheners made it and we’ve been told that they followed the recipe to a T and listen, the world has changed a lot since the 50s, but I don’t think the physical properties of Jell-O and the things that make Jell-O congeal have changed. So I think something happened to the gel-ification qualities because what we have here- – [Link] You got an open box. Let me see that open box. – It’s basically cough syrup. – Yeah. Dimetapp. – The box has nothing in it. It’s empty. – I know, I wanna read it. – It says the same thing as the- – Guarantees more delicious flavor or double your money back. How much did we pay for this? – Hold on, you think we could? – All right, so we paid $40 for it. We can get $80 back? – I think we can only get what it was. I bet you we could contact, since there are still around. Be like, listen, we made this. We should call the number. Say we made it. It didn’t gel-atify. We would like our money back. It’s probably about 15 cents or maybe 50 cents and we can get a dollar. – Well, I think we should get $80. You’re gonna sip it? Ew. – Boy, that tastes just like medicine. I shouldn’t have swallowed it, but I did. I just swallowed a 70-year-old Jell-O because I wasn’t thinking about it. – That is not good. The thing of- – What’s gonna happen to me now? – The thing about Royal jelly is- – It is a thing. – Isn’t that? That’s something that beekeepers use. It’s something that bees use. It’s in a beehive. A royal jelly. – But it’s a popular supplement for some folk. – [Stevie] Hey, you guys like s’mores? – Oh, we totally forgot. This is a s’more. – This is also a s’more. – Mythical society members voted on what it is we should be doing. Start that timer. – I thought you were gonna say that you were interested and you know what? I think we’ve been going for at least a minute, so I’ll just. – Every three minutes, we have to thumb wrestle and keep the conversation going, so let’s just. – I started it a little bit. – Let’s just thumb wrestle and keep the conversation going and then we’ll go again. – [Both] One, two, three, four. I declare war. – So what were you saying about the- – I was saying that I thought the reason that Stevie’s, you also can’t look at it. You can’t look at it. I think the reason that Stevie, I thought she stopped us because she was gonna be like, oh, you guys, you don’t know that I love Royal jelly and I put it on everything. (laughing in background) – [Stevie] Yeah. Actually, we found in my grandmother’s pantry a Jell-O packet box from, I believe, it was the 70s, maybe early 80s. – Yeah, and what happened? – [Stevie] We threw it away, but it resulted in a tense argument moment. – I remember you talking about your tense argument. – Hold on, you had. (grunting) – Why were you arguing? – [Stevie] It wasn’t an argument. It was just a, there was negativity. – Oh, I almost got him! – There was negativity coming from my g-ma about the entire process. Seemed to insult her. – Why not just let her have her Jell-O? She’s never gonna eat it. – [Stevie] You know what? – I think we’ve had this conversation. – [Stevie] I saw a TikTok that might be a trend, but probably not. – I hate thumb wrestling. – [Stevie] Of this family that went to their grandmother’s house and they played a game. They played a game where you could go into the pantry for a set amount of time and come out with an object. – You’re supposed to make out with someone? – [Stevie] And the person who found, no. The person who found the oldest food item in the pantry won the game and they sent like, six different family members back there to grandma’s pantry. And that resonated with me. – She got mad when they said you need to throw this away. – [Stevie] I don’t believe she was mad. I do think that she was into the gamification of her pantry. – You had a cool grandma. – We also have gray seal paint drops. It comes in what looks to be a bonafide sample size paint can. We paid $40 for this and it’s hard mixed candy. It says it right there on the front in the smallest letters on the front of the packaging. Let you know that this is edible. Otherwise, you might just think it’s paint. The interesting thing is, it says on the back, “Enjoy, compliments of Wiley Newman carpet and tile. Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.” And then you have their phone number. This is a promotional item that if you bring your kid to the paint store, you like give them this and then it’s kind of like most hardware stores would give away yard sticks with their phone number on it. Man, remember those yard sticks? – Oh, I got so many yards. – It’s so great. – Yeah. – My Nana always kept a yard stick and that was my sword when I was a kid, but this seems like such a strange thing to give kids. – Well, because it’s really making the connection to eating paint, right. – Eat paint! – And especially at that time, there were still a lot of lead in paint and so kids were eating lead paint and that’s not good. Real, real bad, as a matter of fact – I also love that it says, “Warning, do not eat paint. This is not paint. This is hard candy.” Actually, no, thanks for laughing, Stevie, but I was making all that up. What it actually says is nothing that is as useful as that. It says, “Warning, do not take too many at one time because you may not be able to get your hand out.” – Oh, that’s the warning? – That’s the only warning they could come up with. – You didn’t have to warn people about anything back in the day. – So we got this thing off eBay. We paid $40 for it. And when we get it, we discover, it’s empty. – Yeah, they didn’t tell us that. – There’s nothing in here. – They ate all the paint drops. – Yeah. Morgan, you’re getting a close up of that? They can see that it’s totally nothing. – [Rhett] See nothing. – And now, through the magic of the internet, we’re gonna seal this thing back up. We’ve never met before, right? Is that sealed? – Yeah. Yes. Yeah, it’s sealed. – And have we ever met before? – No. – Right. – I just came here to Pigeon Forge because I like Dollywood. – And you know what? You do the honors here. What’s your name? I didn’t catch your name. – Rick. – Rick. Why don’t you reopen the empty paint drop can and take a look inside Be over here. – Hey, this is better than Blue Man Group. – Keep my hands in view. – After this, we’re going to Dolly Parton stampede. – Okay, just. Okay. Just take your time, but okay, Rick. Whenever you’re ready, open that up. Show that to everyone. – Having a little trouble. I’m nervous. – Just let them see right down the barrel. – I don’t like when a lot of people are watching me do things. – Okay. – I’m very nervous. – All right, there you go. Okay, Rick, it seems to be open. Take the top off and show it to the crowd! Show it to them! – It’s empty. I don’t know how you did it. (laughing) It’s empty. Wow. Do I keep this or do you need it? – No, I’m gonna need that for the next show. – Keep the screwdriver? – No, you can keep the hard mixed candy that might be in your right pocket. – My wife wants to get a close up picture. Pigeon Forge! – All right, so yeah, if you’ll just enjoy all that candy that’s in your right pocket. There you go. – (gasping) What? – If you thought that was exciting, you should join the Mythical Society. If you join the third degree quarterly or annual plan by June 30th, you qualify to get that for free. Yeah, I mean, you’ve already paid for membership, but then you get that. So you’ve kind of paid for that, but it’s worth it. We worked hard on that. We’re proud of that. – We did. – It’s a record where we cover two Lionel songs and then we pose like him. So it’s something that you can display or just put with your vinyl collection. mythicalsociety.com for details. – You know why this makes sense? Have you been to a hardware store in the last couple of years and have you seen how much? They treat them like grocery stores now, so as you get close to the cash register at a hardware store. – Yeah, yeah. – Gummy worms! – Food! – Twizzlers! Batteries, gum. – Bigger packs. – Yeah, because they’re like, yeah, you’re working today. You deserve extra more gummy worms. – More gummy worms. Yeah, yeah. I have noticed that. – I fall for it every time, too. – Oh, you get something? – It’s very rare that I’m make it out of a hardware store without getting something gummy. – Never once done that. Never once. – Well, why? Okay, it’s obviously effective to a large percentage of the population or they wouldn’t do it. – I didn’t say it wasn’t effective. – Have you ever bought anything? Have you ever bought anything while waiting in line that you weren’t planning on buying when you went into a store? – I mean, if I felt like I had stank breath and I might get some, I mean, I’m out of gum. – You never seen something and be like, you know what? I do deserve Reese’s peanut butter cups right now. – [Stevie] Cassie does that all the time at the hardware store. I made the mistake once of getting a snack at Staples. (Stevie laughing) Don’t do that. – Same thing, yeah. – [Stevie] Because nobody else does that and- – No, they do. – Oh, was it expired? – [Stevie] Oh, it was so old. It was so old. – That’s a good point. – There’s an Office Depot not too far from where I live. – Is that timer still going? – [Stevie] That timer’s not working. It’s just not working. – We gotta give the beast what they want. – Yeah, it doesn’t do it. Left hand, yeah, that’s good. It your dominant left hand. – So what did you get that was stale from the Staples? – [Stevie] I can’t recall. I believe it was a candy item and I think I took a single. (grunting) – See, the thing that I’m trying to do. – My thumb’s a little bit longer, so I’m grabbing the top of- – Your left thumb’s longer than your right? – No, my thumbs are a little bit longer than you, so I have a little bit of advantage to go over the top. – And what I’m trying to do is stick my nail into your- – Yeah, you cut the side of my finger in the first one. – Right, I was trying to slowly make you bleed and give up. – That’s a good technique. – That was my technique. I didn’t have quite enough nail. – What were you saying, Stevie? – I love doing this, though. It feels good to open it. – [Stevie] I was just saying I don’t remember the snack I got at Staples, but I do remember being hungry, which is why I purchased it. So I remember it the disappointment. – [Link] There’s nothing like smelling printer cartridges to get you hungry. – I don’t know what it is. It’s just, it’s probably not a good habit, but it just makes me feel like, here’s a little fun that I can put into my day. – [Stevie] I think that’s a great outlook on life. – You know what I’m saying? – [Stevie] Yeah. – That’s not a healthy relationship with food. – Yeah, but I’m not a- (Link banging on can) I think that’s secure and ready to go. Well, I keep popping it open because this is a treat for me. – You know what? You can take it home. – I don’t need a candy bar. I need to keep opening paint cans. – Yeah. – Something about popping open a can of paint. – I don’t eat a whole bag of candy. I’m not that person. I literally, I have like a bag. I like black licorice. I have a bag at home and I just eat, sometimes, maybe two times a week after dinner, I’ll be like, you deserve a piece of licorice. And I get it and I eat it and that’s it. One piece, no more. So I can of kind of contain myself. So I get the big bag of gummy worms and I just have a worm, maybe two. Does Cassie eat the whole thing? – [Stevie] You know what gets me at the, the big box store hardware stores? You know what I’m saying? And I don’t know if they do this. I mean, I obviously haven’t been in a very long time. – Talking about Lowe’s, Home Depot? – [Stevie] The parking lot hot dog situation. – This is not making people not want to punch you. And by people, I mean, me and the people watching. – But this part. – [Rhett] What were you saying, Stevie? – [Stevie] You know the outdoor hot dog situation? – [Rhett] Oh, yeah. – Tacos, whatever they got going on out there, yeah. I’ve never done it, but I’ve always wanted to. – Anytime somebody’s selling those hot dogs, like if you’re coming out of a concert at the Hollywood Bowl. – [Stevie] Oh, yeah, yeah. I’ve done that. I’ve done that. LA street dogs for sure, yes. – One time, I went to the U2 concert. I’m not a huge U2 fan, but I had a friend who was and I went. It was quite a show. They put on quite a show. The stage is just long. It comes out in the middle, like a giant key or something. You should see The Edge. He’s so old. – Focus. (bell ringing) – We’ll get to the thumb wrestling. – Was that another three minutes? – [Stevie] Yeah. – After the concert, there was a person selling the hot dogs and I was like, I gotta get one of those hot dogs. And I got one of the hot dogs and then the cops came up and were like, you can’t sell hot dogs here. – One, two, three, four, five. – Okay. You’re cutting me with your other fingernails. – You gave up. – The cop said you can’t sell hotdogs here and I’d already given my money to the vendor. At that point, the vendors starts running through. We weren’t even in the Rose Bowl parking lot. We were in like the grassy area, like outside further. Running through the grass with his car, trying to get away from the cops. And I’m like, I’ve already paid it for a hot dog. – You’re chasing him? – I’m running with the vendor and the cop is running after both of us. And I’m like, okay, I don’t know how long I’m gonna stick around. – [Stevie] The cop went for it? He was like, I’m going to use my energy right now to chase? – The cop, a bunch of cops were walking quickly. Saying like, you can’t do that. It wasn’t like, I’m gonna apprehend you. It was like, I’m pushing you out. And if you completely resist, I guess I’ll do something. So they just kept walking fast and I was kind of trotting along. And the guy was like, giving me the nod. Like, I know you given me your money. I’m gonna give you your hot dog as soon as the cop stops pursuing both of us. – Wow. – And eventually, the cop was like, okay. And kind of like stopped and started looking because so many vendors. And then he was like, gave me the hot dog. Beautiful. And it tasted better than a normal hot dog because I had been pursued. – Yeah. You earned it. – Right. – You evaded the authorities for that hot dog. – Right, yeah. Makes it sweeter. – Now, there’s something to that. You talk about some sort of- – A restaurant where we put you in danger and feed you. – Yeah. – I think that’s called an amusement park. – Well, it could be kind of like, what’s that where they lock you in? An escape room. – If you get out, you get a hot dog? – You gotta eat your way out of the room. – Oh, oh. – You’d like that. – So it was like a wall of bread? – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – It’s an escape room. What are the clues? Nothing. You just have to eat through the wall of bread. – French bread igloo. Oh, yeah. – All right. Another idea.
