GMMore 2085: Are These Things Really Free?

Welcome to Good Mythical More. I don’t remember what we’re doing, but I’m sure it’s gonna be great. We’re gonna be talking about things around the world that you can do that seem awesome, but some of them are free. What? But first, we’re gonna list ’em all. Ways to say what. Huh? What’s that? Come again. Repeat yourself. Say what? I didn’t hear you. Excuse me. Can you say everything you said a second time. Pardon me? Speak up. I don’t have another one. I think neither. I think that’s it. We just covered it. We exhausted We exhausted the list. Exhausted list. Yay. And I ran outta here to put this on and the first thing I did was take off my pants, and then I took off my shirt and then I realized that the skirt stops well above my crotch. Right, yeah, yeah. So I was just in the bathroom, staring at myself in a cheerleading outfit with my, like Winnie the Pooh-ing. Right. But I had an underwear. I mean, that’s a. And then I… so I put on some pants to go with it. And this is this was high school. And back in the day, they were doing some short skirts back in the day in Burbank. I’m telling you. Couldn’t get away with that in Andrews, North Carolina, but out here in Burbank, I’ll tell you. Go! Go Bears, go Craig. Or dogs. Yeah. Go, go Dogs. Yes, it’s like very obvious what the mascot is. Go Bears. He also probably passed by that high school pretty often. We can do it, we can do it, let’s just put our crotch in into it. Oh, their rivals are the Bears, so you really messed up on that one up. The Bears are from what? Burroughs. Burroughs, yes. I take it all back. Did anybody go to Burbank High in here? Missed opportunity- Chase went to school in Sherman Oaks with Jojo Siwa. Shake it off that’s all right. Is that true? No, I think she’s like 18. But he did go to school at Sherman Oaks. Yeah. Where’d you go to Notre Dame? Yeah. You still live over there? Next to Jojo. More like Notre Lame. Okay. Whoa, whoa. I am going to tell you about an activity, and you’re gonna have to guess if you can do that activity for free or if you have to pay to do that activity. Yay, let’s go. The first one is digging for dinosaurs in Alberta, Canada. Digging for dinosaurs. Well, oh man, if you find one it gets dicey. I mean, anybody could just go and start digging, but when you find one, I think- I think there’s places where if you find it, it’s yours. I think the digging is free. It is free. Cool. Alberta’s Dinosaur Provincial Park charges no admission fee and allows visitors to explore real dinosaur digs. Guests are allowed to participate in a dig and some have even found dinosaur bones themselves. Some have. Some. So all the good stuff’s been taken, you might find a little shard. Well, you know I showed you that fossil that I brought back from my solo camping trip, whenever that was. And that was this place that had all these different fossils and it was totally free, and like there’s so many, you ended up finding them. They’re not dinosaurs, they’re like a little trilobites but there’s you don’t have to pay anything, you just gotta find the rock and put it in your van. Yeah, maybe you- You do have to be driving a van though. All right? If you’d like to spend a day in Dubai, hit up the world’s largest VR Adventure Park. No, they got it. Listen- VR Adventure Park? They gotta pay for all that stuff. I don’t know how you could, that can be free, ain’t nothing free in Dubai. Yeah, it’s it’s not free, but you get to experience the entire park in VR where even the smells and temperatures are designed to be a part of your VR experience. Smells? Yeah. And let me read if there’s some other stuff I wanna say about it- Nope, too late. This part I’ll just keep in my mind. Oh, it’s starting packages around $55 U.S. It’s not bad. Okay, all right, you got a little $55 phone in Dubai. Listen, from a VR Park in Dubai to riding the Staten Island Ferry. Do you have a hankering for visiting the lovely Staten Island? Can you take a round trip ferry from Manhattan for free? I’ve done this and I can’t remember if I paid for it or not. Get that fuzzy cheerleader. Is it? Is it just straight up public transport at this point? I didn’t hear any of that, I was thinking about my armpit. I think you can do it for free. And like I said, I’ve done it, but I don’t know if I paid for it, but I think you can do it. I think it’s worth paying for. It’s for free. Which is weird, right? Yeah, there’s nothing- You know, it’s like a bridge, you don’t have to pay to cross a bridge, but somebody had to pay for it. But it takes 25 minutes, and you get to see the Statue of Liberty. You don’t have to cross any, you have don’t have to pay to cross any bridges to go into Manhattan, do you? I have a weird Staten Island Ferry story, in eighth grade… How weird is it? That’s how it starts with in eighth grade. Okay. we went on a class trip to New York City, which sounds awesome. But I will say we were downgraded from going internationally somewhere, but it’s fine. It’s New York City and had to eat kosher food, but it’s fine. We were on the Staten Island Ferry and we saw none other than Jason Biggs on the ferry, it was exciting, and we asked to take a photo with him and he said no. So then my tour teacher had a private conversation with him and then he did take a photo. So it was a forced photo. Wow. I don’t know if she- Do you still have that photo? Or what happened, I don’t know. She got bigger, big up on Jason Biggs. Like, who wants to be forced into taking a photo. What did she say man, what did she say man? It was a private conversation, I don’t know. Listen, Mr. Biggs. Mr. Biggs. These young ladies are on a trip, they were gonna go international, but now they’re here in New York City and they’re very disappointed, and you have been the highlight of their trip so far, and you have refused to take a photograph with them. And like Biggs said young ladies, ’cause you know at the time it was like American Pie was the thing. I think maybe actively young ladies were trying to get away from Jason Biggs. I haven’t seen your film, but my little girls here love it. Jason Biggs. We didn’t get that last one, the thing is give him points. I didn’t get it. Penguin Sanctuary at the Boulder Beach Penguin Sanctuary in Cape Town, Africa. You have the chance to interact with some of the wild penguins. Is it free or does it cost? Where is this, Alberta? Cape Town, Cape Town, Africa. Oh. Alberta was the Dinosaur Domes. You can swim with penguins? In South Africa? Yeah. It’s a sanctuary? Yeah, Boulder Beach Penguin Sanctuary. Boulder Beach? I think this is free. I Think you gotta pay for it. It’s free. Wow, that’s cool. Yeah, it’s the only remaining home, one of the only remaining homes to the rare African penguin and they allow visitors to get up close and personal with over 2000 of these endangered penguins that typically live in Arctic climates. So they’re endangered and you can just hop in and swim with them for free? Yeah you can’t catch them if you tried. I mean, you gotta have some sort of filter so that you don’t have near ne’er-do-well with the penguins doing stuff, they’re endangered, they’re freaking endangered. Anybody who wants to show up, you don’t have to pay a dime. A thin cent, you can just swim with them, I don’t know. I just don’t think you can catch it. Seems sus. I just don’t think you can catch a penguin, and then if I do, I think if you get your hands on a penguin. Yeah but you’ve got these- I think it slips out. You’ve got this- It’s like a watermelon with oil on it. Yeah you- Cool, you ever done that? No. But humans who aren’t willing to pay for anything, what are they gonna do in the penguin waters? What are they gonna do to the environment of the penguins?. Right, and especially if they’re after penguin meat, is that what you’re saying? No, you keep… I’m saying, even if they’re not touching the penguins, what are they doing to the penguin environment? Urinating in it. In the least. What is the notion? I didn’t pay for this, I can pee in this. It’s like, I mean there’s a correlation. If everyone who lived on the coast, urinated and defecated into the ocean, would it be okay? I think that already happens. What do you mean, like our waste goes into the ocean? No, everybody who swims in the ocean, pees and poops in it. If everyone who was within a two mile distance of every coast, never used the bathroom anywhere except the ocean. Even if they had to like poop in a bucket, then at the end of the day, they would take their poop bucket, they would go to this ocean, they would toss it in. With the beaches just be an absolute crap show, is that what would be happening or does it recycle it? I think, I think, no I think- I think it would be a bad scene. I think the beach would kind of be a place that I wouldn’t go. Well we need to get just a small swath of beach somewhere, we’ve got to pick a state. How about South Carolina? Yeah. South Carolina we’re coming for you, we’re doing our poop experiment over the next 12 years. Any volunteers? No. Frozen spa, how much does it cost to visit a three story frozen spa and bar floating in the middle of a frozen Canadian river. So this is like one of those deals where- How do you float in a frozen river? You just set it on top, it’s not actually floating. They do this in like Iceland or Greenland, right? They’ve got the seasonal hotel, this the ice hotel, so I guess they’re trying to get in on like Canada, making it three stories, look at you Canadians. Yeah, but how do they make money? So this doesn’t include like buying drinks, this is like admission. They sell cold drinks? Um. It’s a three-story bar. I think- They serve drinks, yeah. I think, well, that’s a good question, do you have to pay for things inside? I think you have to pay to admit yourself to this, but think about how hard it would be to convince yourself to go into an ice sculpture in the middle of a river somewhere. You’ve already paid a certain price just to get there. I think that the cover charge, there’s no cover charge. And that’s why I’m- I’m saying there’s a very meager admission. It is not free. It’s called Bota Bota and it’s in Montreal, and if you’re willing to spend some cash to spend a day getting pampered while floating on a frozen river, you can. This is a spa, this is a spa- But you can’t float on across the river. Prices depend on the service you’re looking to get. But a massage will set you back between $110 and $150, you know what, it’s not that bad for a frozen massage. Yeah, but think about that, like one of the worst things when you’re getting massage is if the place is too cold. Yeah. And they put the oil on you and then you’re like, this isn’t fun anymore. That’s what I be thinking the whole time. This is not fun anymore. Yeah, well we won’t be going- But you’re floating on a frozen river man. All right, all right. We’ve got a walking tour of Dubrovnik. Thank you- Dubrovnik? Croatia. Croatia? The Game of Thrones most iconic filming spots. First of all, I see pictures of Croatia and it just looks beautiful. I mean, have you seen the Croatian like beach? It’s beautiful. What if everyone poops in the Croatian sea? We wouldn’t do that- It would ruin the beauty. Too beautiful. I think like eventually it would filter itself out, and there’s probably a lot of fish that would like poop. Stop. Oh Chase . Chase been poop feeding fish. You know what, he took marine biology at Notre Dame High School. He’s a scuba diver man, he’s out there. Have you pooped while scuba diving? No, but it’s a common thing that dive boats will tell you to do. Like the head is for emergencies, if you wanna take a poop, just say you’re checking the propellers, make sure that the propellors are actually off and go do your business. Because you don’t want to stink up a boat with poop. Exactly. And then you’ll have something to look for while you’re diving. Yes. Oh, I’ve found a brown trout, right here in the middle of the ocean. I found a finless brown trout. Nasty man. So you paying to take a walking tour? No, you can do this, you just gotta know where you’re going. You can pay to get it, but a guided one, you can pay for it, but a self guided one, free. It is free, yeah. Yeah, you’re right, you’re right, it’s free, I don’t want to say anything else about it. I wanna talk about gift cards. What about them? We have mythical store gift cards that are available for purChase at mythical.com. If you know anybody who would be interested in mythical store gift card, this holiday season, then go to mythical.com and get it for them. It’s a gift card, for stuff at mythical.com. Let them choose what they want. Yeah, yeah, yeah, don’t force it on them. Gift cards for the future. But it’s not free. You know. It’s not like a walking tour in Croatia. Speaking of poop, Cassie posted this photo through her Instagram Story, Oh, people were going oh yeah. Oh no, I saw it. You saw it? Yeah. And it was Ringo had pooped… Had chosen to poop on like a big, long, grassy… What would you call that? A pedestal. A poof? A poop pedestal. Yeah. And it was like a close-up photo, and I was like, oh, what the heck? And she was like, let me tell you about the messages I’ve been getting today about this Instagram Story, everyone loves it. Everyone’s interacting with it, and they’re, you know, they have their own stories to share. Like what, what are people saying about it? Shared experiences of their dogs, also choosing to poop on the middle of a plant I suppose, Okay. It was graphic though, like it was a choice. The juicy? Especially with these IRS cameras these days. Oh, everyone is going mh, oh yeah, oh yeah. I will say she does have some like very great Instagram Story choices in general, she does make some good choices, not that one though. Sumo wrestling, if you had a hankering to check out a real Sumo wrestling practice session and catch a couple of matches at a Sumo wrestling studio in Tokyo, would you have to pay for the experience, or could you walk right in free of charge? Ask the mythical Morris, I’m not going to respond to the city that you just named. What? You said you can, it’s a class or it’s an exhibition? It’s when they practice, so the professionals are practicing in like a big arena. Okay yeah, yeah, yeah. Lock and I were actually gonna go do this when we were gonna go to Tokyo and then we didn’t go to Tokyo because of the pandemic. I don’t remember if we were gonna pay for it. I would not go because I had a traumatic experience with a Sumo wrestler right over there. And I’m keeping my distance. I think you can go for free. Yeah, it says you can go for free. But I too remember this when I was there and looking into it and felt like that might not be the case, it was a little bit more difficult than one would think. Everything’s a little bit more difficult than one would think- You got that- Including the trains. Did you wanna go see Sumo? Yes, but it was on like a very long list of other things that I also wanted to do, and I really mean it. Like, there’s some things that are just kind of overwhelming to figure out and you just find yourself going like, eh, I just wanna sit down. I don’t know if you can see that, but I have silenced a dental patient’s finger. On top of this paddle. Yeah, I can see that. And you know what, you’re seeing it for free. You didn’t pay a dime for that, you didn’t pay a thin cent, you don’t pay a wooden nickel. This show has been more for almost 10 years, you ain’t paid a dime for it. Not sure what to gift a loved one this year, get him a mythical gift card at mythical.com.
