(rooster calling) (lion roaring) – Welcome to “Good Mythical More”. We asked you to tell us about the dumbest stuff that you’ve ever believed. I also got some crew members that we’re gonna hear from, so let’s laugh at some people’s beliefs. – But first, let’s congratulate Tim Clark for winning a third $30 Mythical.com gift card because he repped that mythical merch out in the wild. Look at that. He’s got the Mythical Kitchen merch, got an apron, – Got it for Christmas, I love that. – and the towel, – Look at that. – and he’s made himself some stuff, and he’s happy about it! You see? – He’s a bearded Josheur! – Mythical merch makes you happy! – Oh, cheeseburgers make me happy. Alright. We got some cards, here. Let’s hear some ridiculous things. – I think we’re gonna bring them up here, too. Is this the same thing on these cards as we can see right here? – [Stevie] And I also have them written over here. – Okay, well, you know what? We’ll see which one feels the best. – [Stevie] It’s just 30 spots. – We’ll start with our very own Kevin Kostelnik. I like saying his last name. – [Both] Kostelnik. – What do you think the words in there mean? – I thought the T was silent. Kevin, are you here? – [Kevin] Yeah, it’s actually Kostelnik, and we’ve worked together for six years, so, – No, no, it’s Kostelnik. – I’ve never once said your last name, but I wasn’t about to try to. – The origin of it is, – Kostelnik? Really? Are you sure? – One of Kevin Kostelnik’s ancestors, we’re talking like, maybe seven or eight generations back, was hiking across Europe ’cause they’ve done that, you know? – You’re doing all this to show that you’re not wrong about someone else’s name? – And they found a hostel. The guy who was named Nick asked, “How much does the hostel cost?” And they called him hostel cost Nick. And then, they, overtime, changed it because this is what happens with last names, to Kostelnik, and then, Kevin got the bright idea to change it to Kostelnik, and I’d like to stick with what his ancestors intended. – Kevin Kostelnik. Who is that? – So, Kevin Kostelnik. – Are you serious, Kevin? Have we been saying it wrong this whole time? – I haven’t said his last name. – Can I ask the question? – (chuckles) I’m not allowed to speak? Okay. I’ll be quiet. – We’ve been pronouncing your name wrong this whole time, or have just never said it? – [Kevin] I honestly think that’s the first time I’ve ever heard you say my last name. – Yeah, that’s what I was trying to say, until I was told I couldn’t speak. – Whereas every time that we say Matt Carney’s name, we say Matt Carney, – But it’s actually Matt Carney. When I was a kid, my dad told me that if I ever pulled down my pants and exposed myself in public, the penis fairy would come and cut my penis off. Needless to say, he would Kostelnik it right off. Needless to say, I never exposed myself in public. You know, whatever it takes, Kevin. – Kevin, did he have a sense, or did you have a track record of exposing yourself in public? – [Kevin] I don’t know, but he told all of my friends as well, too, so I wasn’t the only one. – So, he was afraid that you and all your friends were gonna go around, exposing yourself. – [Kevin] Yeah, I guess when you really think about it, it doesn’t make my dad look very good, does it? (Rhett chuckles) – [Stevie] Well, wait. I specifically remember, in kindergarten, being in the library for story time, and this one guy in my class just stood up in the middle of the story and pull his pants down, and then the librarian was like, “Jason, pull your pants back up,” and then he pulled his pants up, and I remember every moment. – It’s something that happens. – Did the penis fairy show up? – [Stevie] Yes. – And cut it off? – No, it’s something that happens in kindergarten. I mean, that was the first time I saw somebody else’s penis besides, you know, one of my family members’. Yeah. – Besides one of my family members. – People pull you around a corner and show you their penises in kindergarten. – Tell me more about your family members’ penises. – You want my dad or my brothers’? (Link laughing) Which one you wanna know about? – I’m sorry I asked. It was a joke. – Yeah. I grew up with a father in the home. (both laughing) – [Kevin] I was just gonna, “Hey, this is Matt.” – A naked father? – [Matt] Kevin not exposing himself doesn’t line up with his behavior in our office at all. – Oh, Matt Carney. – All right, Matt Carney, be careful. – Talk about hot dog on a stick! Am I wrong? (both laughing) Wow, the penis fairy! That is so ridiculous, and you believed it. – [Kevin] I mean, I never pulled my pants down in public. – That’s horrible. – Yeah, it works. I mean, I think about that penis fairy all the time. – Keep not doing that. Let’s hear another one. – This is from Jonathan. Basically, you’re like, watching “Good Mythical Morning” early in the day. If you’d like, watch it right after it comes out, and then, you’re like, two hours later, the thumbnail’s different. – And then it kept changing every 15 minutes. – You have Jonathan to thank for that. – Yeah. – Jonathan is saying, “Nope! We need a different thumbnail.” – Nobody cares, guys. No one likes you anymore! What are we gonna do? – I have four older sisters, and when I was a kid, the penis fairy, No, this one’s not about the penis fairy. – Aww. – I thought I had to choose one of them to marry (chuckling) when I became an adult. When I found out that’s not how it worked, I was relieved, to say the least. Super relieved. They’re pretty gross. His sisters are pretty gross. – Thought he had a marry one of his older sisters. Jonathan, are you there? – [Jonathan] Yeah, I’m here. – Okay. – Are you married now? – [Jonathan] No. I’m not married. – Are your sisters married? – How old were you when you realized you didn’t have to marry a sister? – [Jonathan] I was too old. I was eight. (Rhett laughing) – Oh, wow! There’s some tense years, there! (chuckles) You know? – Yeah, that’s a long time – Intense few years. – to live knowing that your future is incest. – Did you have one of them selected? – [Jonathan] Hmm. (Rhett laughing) – He’s like, “I don’t wanna answer that.” – Said they were all nasty. – Yeah, don’t answer that. – If you had to marry, you know, one of your step sisters, I don’t have any sisters. Which one would you choose? – That would be legal. – Which one would you choose? – I only have one step sister. – Oh, I guess we know the answer. You walked right into that one. Yeah, this is a mythical beast. Youdidinthedark. Growing up, my parents and neighbors had a long standing feud, so my mother joked we couldn’t talk to them because they ate little children. – [Link] Wow. – [Rhett] I fully believed we just casually lived next to cannibals for the long time. Made for a horrifying time if we threw our ball in their yard. (chuckles) Ball’s in the cannibal’s yard. – I mean, I’m not trying to toot my own horn, and I know you’re the same way. It’s just like, too an extreme. We didn’t tell our kids fibs in order to, You tell your kids fibs all the time just to mess with them, but not to elicit certain behavior right? – And I don’t tell them fibs anymore now, because they don’t trust me. – Right. They can see through it. But I mean, I guess you kind of forget that, like, little kids believe these things. – Will believe anything. – Oh, my penis is gonna be chopped off? And my neighbor is gonna eat me? – Now, if this was based on a feud, that’s one thing. If it was like, – They eat little children? – we know that these people are dangerous or something like that, and we wanna stay away from ’em, so I’m gonna make up something that a little kid can comprehend, and will be, like, a hard line in the sand. Cannibal is a hard line in the sand, but I don’t know about this. I wonder how they found out it wasn’t true. – That’s a tough one, Kim. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. She didn’t say. – Harold Krell. I thought the characters in “Full House” were regular people, and that, just as I could see them on TV, they could see me as well, with the mirrors in my house acting as cameras. I would sing and perform privately to these mirrors in hopes that Tanners would welcome me to their world! So, only “Full House.” – [Stevie] That is awesome. – So strange. – I mean, not just any television show? Just the Tanners. – So, you could see them through the television, but then, they could see you, Harold, through the mirrors. – The funny thing about this is it’s true. It’s long been known that “Full House” was connected to the Krell house by a series of mirrors. This is not true of anybody, this is just true of Harold and his family. – That is such a strange thing. – I wonder how long that one lasted. I do remember the first time I realized there was a whole side of their house I couldn’t see. You know, because of the way multicam shows work? – Yeah, you’re talking about where the studio audience would sit? – And, I mean, I realized that about like, every show in the eighties. There was a day, and I was like, “What’s behind me?” You know? Like, what’s behind me as I watch “The Huxtables”? (Link chuckles softly) A studio audience! – I remember, maybe you’re the one who told me this later in life. I don’t know, as a kid, but like, realizing that one of the guitarist in a band was playing a different type of guitar, it was a bass guitar, and that it was a different thing. – That was probably right around the time we started our band. (both chuckling) – The Beat. – In high school. – It was like, “Oh, one of us has to play a fat guitar!” (all laughing) – Speaking of making musical realizations, we wanna tell you, Hey, we want you to get this Rhett n’ Link Sing Lionel vinyl.

A lot of Jake ‘W. – [Rhett] When I was younger, I thought that homemade was a brand of food that I really disliked. (both laughing) I didn’t realize until I was a bit older that I was disrespecting my mother to her face. Tonight, we’re having homemade spaghetti! – Oh man. – Crap! I hate that brand! It’s the worst! – Where’s this from? It’s homemade. Wow, they never get it right! (Rhett laughing) – It’s always a little bit different. (chuckles) It’s inconsistent. Man! That is quite an indictment of a mama W. – It’s even worse when you think that, like, she was obviously using the word homemade a lot to ingrain it into his head, so like, she was very proud of like, it being homemade. Not “I made it.” It like, “Oh, it’s homemade.” – This is almost too good to be true. It’s like something you’d read in, – “Highlights Magazine”. – Yeah. It’s too good. But you know what? I believe you because you’re from Reno. SouthXMidwest. – This is probably somebody who was in the south, and the moved to the – [Both] Midwest. – I mean, I’m surprised that username was available. When I was a kid, I thought you could get rid of smelly things by smelling them up, so if I farted in class or something, I would try to sniff it all up so that no one else could smell it. – Hold on, hold on! – That is true! – It is true! – It is true! – I do that! – You suck hard enough, – Megan, that’s true! – It is true, ’cause a fart is just butt particles that are in the air, and so, if you were to stick a crazy high powered vacuum into a room right after somebody farted, it would smell it all up! – Or just right up your tookus. – Yeah. Have you ever farted directly into a vacuum? – No. – Try it. – But we should. – Try it. You should trap farts for a week and then open it up. – A fart buster. (mimics vacuum sucking sounds) (Rhett chuckles) – Stick a dust buster right up your butt crack. – This is still true. Smelling things up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – But I gotta say that, typically, when you’re a kid, your nostrils and your lung power, it’s just not powerful enough to really impact it beyond a negligible amount, but if you open your mouth, – (inhaling deeply and loudly) – suck in with your mouth, – You gotta really taste it. You’re gonna really eat it like a meal. Eat that fart. – Now, some people, when they’re smelling something bad, they close their nose, and I’m not pointing any fingers, but I’ve noticed that Stevie, if she smells something bad, all of a sudden, her voice will be even higher than it already is. – [Stevie] Yeah, it’s a really special skill. I close my nose. – But then, you’re tasting bad smells directly. – [Stevie] No, it works. – Like, if you go to a gas station bathroom, – You’re eating it. – you’re going in there with the, – [Stevie] I unconsciously do it now for everything. So, if I’m walking downtown and I know it’s about to smell really bad, I’ll just not breathe through my nose, and I know it. – Do you hold it? – [Stevie] Yeah. – You hold it? – [Stevie] No, I don’t hold my breath, – She does it without her hand. – [Stevie] Yeah, I can do without my hand. I just won’t talk. – Can you do it right now and hear your voice? – (nasally) She just starts talking like this. – [Stevie] Yeah, this is what my voice sounds like if I’m holding my nose. – Well, it’s not that different. – They did it like a joke. – [Stevie] It’s not that different, and also, – I can tell. – [Stevie] Yeah, I’m not smelling right now. – (nasally) I’m not smelling right now. (chuckles) – (nasally) I’m not smelling right now either. – (nasally) I’m not smelling right now. I’m not smelling right now. – Let’s hear another. – But you’re tasting all of those smells. – [Stevie] No. – Yeah. Your nose has filters in it. LeannaCherner. I really thought quicksand and falling pianos and anvils would be a bigger deal. I genuinely thought this was something I’d have to deal with. – Like, once you really get out into the real world as an adult. – Yeah. – The dangers of falling pianos. – And the thing is, is that, you know, quicksand and falling pianos and anvils do kill people, and you gotta think, when you’re in that situation, well, if a falling piano or anvil takes you out, you probably didn’t see it coming, but if you’re in quicksand, you’re like, “Oh man, really? This is what’s happening right now? Like, I’m literally dying this way? In quicksand? Like cartoon character?” – Yeah, yeah. Be kinda cool. – That sucks! – Yeah. There are ways out. – And HorchataGod7. – (chuckles) Six more of those. – I worship the third. – Horchata God the third. (Rhett laughs) – [Rhett] When I was younger, I believed that the people playing on the radio were at the studio when their song would come on, so I would turn off the radio so they can go home and spend time with their family! This is similar to thinking that the “Full House” is on the other side of your mirrors. – You think you’re way too important, HorchataGod7. I mean, you are a God, but it is of Horchata. – (chuckles) Do you think there was a time in which you thought that listening to people playing music on the radio was a live thing? – I don’t know that I ever thought about that. – Maybe this is a better question. When did you realize, because, based on comments in many YouTube videos, there’s lots of people who have not yet realized this, that, when you watch a music video, you’re not watching the person perform the song in that moment. When did you realize that? Like, there’s literally people. Like, I see somebody singing, – Which do you know first? What a bass guitar is, or that they’re lip-syncing? ‘Cause it’s kinda the, – I knew people were lip-syncing well before the bass guitar. – Yeah. I don’t remember thinking about it. – I had no idea about the intricacies of a drum kit. – Well, I definitely knew about lip-syncing because like, when we were young, like, in the eighties, there was a lip sync competition show, – “Puttin’ on the Hits”. – “Puttin’ on the Hits”, and it was very much, it’s like, “Oh, I can start to realize that that happens all over the place.” – [Stevie] There was also a lip-sync competition show with Fergie. I think it was called “The Great Pretenders”. – “The Great Pretenders”? – Fergie. – I like “Puttin’ on the Hits”. – “Fergalicious”? Yeah. Yeah. – Well, HorchataGod, give our respects to the other six, especially the third. To get the Rhett & link Sing Lionel Vinyl release, join third degree quarterly or annual by June 30th.
