Welcome to “Good Mythical More.” We are fully lubed, and ready to take on some ice breakers, that the internet says will get you into great conversations. But will they? Let’s find out. Let’s tell a 10 word story. Darryl! Somehow. Ate. Three. Little. Pandas. But. Nobody. Saw. Them. Darryl He got away with it. Darryl somehow ate- Well Carol is what it Carol somehow ate three little pandas, but nobody saw them. Well of course they didn’t see ’em. Hey that’s the way to do it, man. If you gonna eat a panda, don’t let anybody see you. That’s the lesson that we’ve learned today. And that’s a great way into a conversation. Hey, eaten any pandas lately? No, I haven’t. Okay, yeah. So, first of all, icebreakers is something that you might be thinking that you need to use as you reemerge into society and social gatherings. Right. And you’ve forgotten how to speak to people. You could say things like, “bean.” See how people respond. You won, man. Oh, yeah. That’s right. Let’s keep talking about it. We did a Society only couple of rounds, and, let me tell you, that was special. I mean, an ounce of redemption is worth a pound of rubbing it in your face, am I right? Yeah, that’s right. You should join the Mythical Society, just so you can see what happened in the Mythical Society rounds. So we do that I couldn’t believe it. on the Mythical society. We take pieces of the episode that we don’t show here on YouTube, and we just put them over there. And today especially, things got interesting. I would say, potentially, the first ever 10 in this game was scored, only in the Mythical Society. While we’re talking about that, we usually don’t do that this early, but, you know, one of the main reasons that people join the Mythical society is ’cause they get these quarterly collectible items. Rhett and Link plushies. You gotta sign up for third degree quarterly or annual by December 31st. And they talk. Every quarter we do things like this. Would you like some wood? Good Mythical Morning.

Can I- The anxiety that the word “icebreaker”, the concept, the setting, gives me is so, the level’s so high. I get very anxious with this type of setting, in which you don’t know people are you’re trying to like, produce subjects. You mean like a group of people in a circle, and they’ve all gotta. Yes! That kinda icebreaker Like, this is an orientation for this class, or this camp, or, you know, this course that you’re taking. Oh God, when it’s like, you gotta say three things about yourself. And like, I get really anxious with that too, and here I am, a performer. You know, you’d think that I’d be, I’d be ready for that. You like blank on, you don’t know anything about yourself, you know? Yeah. You don’t know your name at that point, and it’s just, the pressure’s too- you’re sweaty, Yep. and cold at the same time. I think the downfall of every icebreaker is that everyone is thinking so hard about what they’re going to say, They’re not listening. That they don’t listen to the thing that other people say, which is the whole point of an icebreaker, is to learn things. But maybe some of these will be good, Yeah. And maybe they’ll warm you up to world of broken ice. I haven’t heard many of these. The first one is: If you were a potato, what way would you like to be cooked? Hm, well let’s just try it out. If you were a potato, what way would you like to be cooked? I think I’d probably like to be turned into potato chips because I would probably, most likely bring joy to a person, or to a group of people, and I would last a pretty long time. I think I would be a baked potato, ’cause I get to remain my, my true self for the longest period of time. Until I’m still consumed, which is a morbid thing to think about. Just being slowly consumed by someone. Well, and covered with foreign objects. Well I like that, make me cozy if you’re gonna consume me. Put me under a blanket of sweet- of sour cream, I would like to be boiled, because it’s like a hot tub. Until you die. Yeah, and you don’t even know that you’re being boiled. Turn it up slowly. Yeah. That’s a good one then, no? It’s feeling good. Hey, that was three really good answers, felt like we learned some things about each other. We’re talking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s like, Stevie you’ve been vulnerable, appreciate that. She likes hot tubs. What’s your- what did you say? She likes hot tubs. What’d you think I said? Oh, I thought you said ta-tas. She likes ta-tas, you know her, she said that. You can infer that from the fact that she wants to be a boiled potato. What is your worst personality characteristic? This went from potatoes to, to this. I don’t like this one. Hey, let’s go around and talk about how much you think you suck. Let’s tank our own self-image in front of everybody. Yeah, this is like in an interview when they ask, like, “what’s your-” Well, which I don’t think people actually really do, but “what’s your weakness? What’s your greatest strength, what’s your greatest weakness?” And then you have to like, come up with a weakness that sounds almost like a strength, cause it’s an interview. Right, so you’re like. And then you say things like “I’m just too sincere.” “I’m just too, you know, I’m just too hard of a worker. Sometimes I work myself to the bone.” What’re the ways that we ask it? I think we ask it like, “have you ever publicly urinated, especially at your place of work?” And been caught. Right, ’cause there’s only two guys who can do that. That’s a cool icebreaker, if we wanna pivot, you know. Have you ever publicly urinated? Yeah. Which, I would say, no, it’s very- If you’re camping, does it count as public urination? I think you gotta be in the city limits No. It has to be a bird sanctuary. Yeah. It has to be a place where you cannot kill birds. Have you ever urinated in a bird sanctuary, is the icebreaker question. ‘Cause I recently, I peed when we were, back when I was in North Carolina over the summer, and we went white water rafting. And we got down to the river, and everybody was, like, gathering for the orientation. And I was like, “I gotta pee.” And so I just went to the edge of the parking lot, but it was like a river parking lot, and I just peed into the woods. That’s not public. There’s a big. It’s a big risk though, because if some snarky cop wants to give you a citation, then that gets picked up on the internet as indecent exposure. No, I think public urination starts and stops at public urination, I don’t think they would go all the way to indecent exposure. Indecent exposure is like, straight jacket, bwah! If you, but if you, Not a straight jacket. If you were belligerent I think you have to be in, like, Trench coat. If you’re technically in, like, the- Let’s go to the next, let’s go to the next question. You’ve never publicly urinated though? Well, here’s the thing: As a woman, you have to- that’s like, really taking it to the extreme. Yeah. Yeah. ‘Cause we can’t just whip it out, it’s like a whole production, and like you can’t, you’d have to invent a scenario in which, “oops, my pants dropped.” There’s more involved. Whoopsie! I’m squatting to pick up my pants. Um, would you rather fart, or burp glitter? Oh. I was reading recently, and I thought of you. Definitely fart glitter. There’s a glitter pollution problem. Of course there is. There’s so much glitter in so many things now. It’s everywhere. It’s probably suspended, there’s probably- it’s everywhere now. It’s probably suspended globally. I don’t think it’s suspended, I think it’s, like, settled, and that’s the problem. It keeps getting blown around though. It’s settling places. How do you think deserts are made? Glitter deserts, yeah. Boring glitter. You gonna sneeze, or are you thinking hard? No, I definitely think I would be farting glitter, because by the end of the day you just clean out your underwear, you know? Right. Unless you’re wearing boxers and then glitter just comes out of your out of your pants Pant leg? There are worse problems than having a trail of glitter coming out of your pants though, you know? Right. It’s like, “that guy’s pretty cool, I mean he’s contributing to the glitter pollution problem.” But if you’re burping you’ve gotta like, you’ve gotta spit it out or swallow it. And then it’s like in your mouth. Then it’s in your pants. Yeah. Yeah, that’s a good point. If you’re burping it, you’re gonna swallow and then fart it anyway, so. Who- Oh sorry, was that a good question? Oh, we’re just coming up with a definitive answer. Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. You know what? I think, if. Okay so, the one about “what’s your worst personality characteristic?” Bad question, because it immediately puts everybody on the defensive, and then people are like competing to be more vulnerable. Confessional. There’s no humor in it, unless you just make it humorous, it can be a huge downer. So, horrible, horrible one. Glitter? It got us talking, we’re laughing. Bodily functions, it gets people who normally wouldn’t talk about farts saying the word “fart,” which is a great way to just dive in the deep end of a relationship. I would say, it is a notch below the potato question though, ’cause there’s, you know, a wide range of answers. It’s either, yeah. It’s binary, and it’s also, people are polarized by, you know, bodily function humor Bathroom humor Be your mythical best. Who was your childhood actor slash actress crush? This is a decent one. Uh, this could out somebody. It’s also like, age defining. That’s cool. I mean, is it- I mean, am I being… Could it out somebody? Well actually, no It would reverse, it would “in” me. ‘Cause my childhood crush was like, Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Although, in a way it would out me, because all the guys that I had crushes on looked like very beautiful women. Jonathan Taylor Thomas looks like a beautiful woman? “Home Improvement.” Devon Sawa, Kevin Zegers. If someone wants to make a chart. Erik von Detten, that was the other one. I’m having a tough time remembering. Basically, if you just glance, look like the same guy, all at one time. I’m trying to think of actors versus like, models, ’cause of course, like, everybody was in love with Cindy Crawford, but that’s just, who wasn’t right? So it’s like, people on shows? Yeah, who? But like, as a kid. Like, it has to be a kid crush situation. I feel like, you know, like 12. Like you’re 12 years oldish. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m trying to think of like, when I was, let’s just say when I was 10, so late 80s. What was on television? And who were the girls that were on, like the shows that I was watching? I mean, I definitely remember the Cindy Crawford Pepsi commercial. I don’t know what year that was, but I was of an impressionable age. All she had to do was drink a Pepsi. Oh. In those shorts. Denise on “The Cosby Show,” big time. Yep, she had a vibe too. Uh, that was a big one for me. I can’t remember anybody else. Uh, well, I don’t think this is a good icebreaker question. I think that’s a good one. I just listed like, five dudes, that I had a crush on, and you guys can’t think of any women. Hey, I said one. Yeah. You liked the girl from “Small Wonder.” Yeah, Vicky. I liked Vicky the robot from “Small Wonder.” It’s odd, it’s odd, it’s odd, yeah. But uh, whatever works man. Let’s hear another. Um, hm. Oh, she’s choosing. I’m picking and choosing at this point. Uh, do you prefer ginger bread people, or houses? I don’t like either of them. Yeah, I’m anti gingerbread. Yeah, this is a pretty anti gingerbread establishment. What is this? Like a Christmas craft icebreaker? Which one do you wanna make? Kind of a thing? But at least with gingerbread men, it’s over pretty quickly, both for them and for you, you know? Uh, the gingerbread house just feels like an art project that nobody wants to do. I went to, like, a really hipstery, like down at the brewery, gingerbread house competition party years ago. Where like, it was like, you know. Down at the brewery. Architects, designers, like taking it seriously, they like designed their own gingerbread based structures. Oh. It was pretty cool. I went to the. Were they still fully edible? They had to be, right? That had to be the rule. That’s the rule. ‘Cause I’d be applying some hot glue when no one’s looking. I went to the national gingerbread competition, because, technically it wasn’t. Were you a celebrity judge? Gingerbread house? Yeah. Because at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, every year they do this incredible competition, and then show all the winners in this one room, and they also have a giant one that you can walk in. And I gotta say, even seeing the best ones in the world, I was kinda like, “meh.” So just, it’s not my thing. Sorry There you go. Wasn’t hipster enough, maybe you shoulda gone to Stevie’s. Yeah, that’s it. Yeah. Eh, I mean, I feel like we should just go back to the potato question. We started really, really strong, yeah. If you were a potato, how would you like to be prepared? And why? Mashed, milked, and mushed. To get the Rhett and Link plushies join third Degree Quarterly or Annual by December 31st. Visit mythicalsociety.com for details.
