GMMore 2119: Who Would You Rather Live With?

Good mythical, what do I normally say? Welcome to Good Mythical More. Good Mythical Morning more. Hey, we got a new logo. Let’s do a Good Mythical More greeting. Yeah, let’s just say Good Mythical More. Welcome to Good Mythical More. We’ve got some contr commercial face offs that are gonna be happening here. Which subculture would we be more willing to spend time doing a very specific thing with? But first, we’re gonna play What’s the Word? The word we’re trying to guess the definition of today is Oxter. O-X-T-E-R. Let me just look at it. O-X-T-E-R. Oxter. This is clearly when a- Kind of looks like a brand name. an ox and an otter make love and have a baby. It’s my favorite animal. An oxter? Yeah, because it’s like an otter that you can ride. It’s got horns. You can ride on land and in the water. It’s like an all terrain animal, and you hold it by the horns. And it’ll pull an underwater plow. Yes, it will. If you need to dredge the bottom of the ocean. Right, that’s how they dredge oceans. Yeah, that’s right. Well, which is great for the world. Now that oxters are no longer used to dredge the ocean, they’re just hanging out, bored. They got oxters at some zoos. At the San Diego zoo, they got a whole habitat. Yeah, I know, but I prefer just to see them in the wild, bored. Well, there’s not many, though. Right, there’s only a few. You gotta look for them. Come with me. I’ll show you where they are. All right. Oh, it’s a person’s armpit. That’s what it is. An oxter is an armpit? What? An oxter. That’s so strange- to have never heard that. An oxter, an oxter. Learn something new every day. Cosplayers and vegans. Yeah, this is gonna be a little bit of a new format for us. So I’m going to ask you a particular question as it relates to the two different kinds of people in front of you, and then whatever you answer is going to move on to the next round where I will ask you a different question about a different pairing. So the question for this first pairing is, who would you rather Freaky Friday with? And I do believe we’re going with the classic definition of switch bodies. Switch bodies. Switch bodies with a cosplay. It’s kind of confusing to switch bodies with a cosplayer, cause you’re kind of switching bodies with a character as well. So someone who’s used to playing a character just has to be in my body. Gotta think about that part of it, too. What are they gonna do in my body? How’s a cosplayer gonna treat my body versus a vegan? A vegan’s just gonna give me gas. It’s so interesting the way that your brain works, where you’re going to self protection mode. You’re thinking about what it would be like for them to be in your body, and I’m only thinking about what it would be like for me to be in their body. They can do whatever they want to to me. I mean, what if they jump off a high height in order to like, I don’t know, cliff dive or something? Like I’m gonna have a belly flop rash. I think there’s a- I don’t think cosplayers do that. I think that going into a cosplayer’s body could be interesting if you get them on the right day, right? Like convention day. But chances are you’re just gonna go into somebody’s body and they’re just gonna live a regular life. A vegan, I’m interested in that because it would be kind of a cool experiment to be able to immediately be inside someone’s body who had adjusted com to a completely vegan diet, just to be like, cause I know that it’s a mental thing. I know that you can lose your taste for meat and animal products. And I do believe in sort of the underlying philosophy of veganism to a certain degree Not completely. So you would experience the long term benefits of actually enjoying vegan food. It’s like immediately getting to feel what it is like to be a vegan without ramping up to it. You know, there’s gonna be some misery, some gastrointestinal misery along the way that they’ve already gotten through. And you’re doing them a favor, because I think I’m wrong. I think the vegan would take me up on the offer of using my body to eat all types of non-vegan stuff. Just, oh, I’m gonna see what it’s like to go back to that chicken wing, greasy burger place. But not if they were doing it for moral reasons and not health reasons. Yeah, but they would totally be incognito. They could be naughty. Well then it’s really a question of integrity. Very immoral. Then it’s a question of integrity. Is a vegan who goes into a non-vegan’s body and has a burger, do they lose all integrity? That’s the real question. Nobody has to know. And I think I’m giving them that option. I’m going vegan, if it wasn’t clear. Yeah, yeah. We’re getting rid of the cosplayers. We love cosplayers, of course, here at Mythical. We love them. People cosplay as us all the time. We’re very flattered. Yeah. Don’t say anything negative about cosplayers. I didn’t. Industrial dancer. What the crap is that? I thought that you might ask that, so here’s a video. Oh, I’m glad it’s muted. Okay, good. Industrial dancing. What are they doing? Hold on. Hold on, are they dancing? Is this a loop? Play it again. What? I mean, I’m- For every episode of this show moving forward, I want this to be going on loop, just under here. Now, what are they making? They’re industrial. Are they mixing things? Keep playing it, Zach. Absolutely. Are they the cogs inside of a wheel that’s doing something industrious? What makes it industrial? I mean, that one guy does have a gas mask. I gotta give it to him. Or at least a really good respirator. So I actually- The one the back has the most talent. I knew what this was before this episode, because when we were in my Mexico City walking through a park, you know how people use parks to like, I’m gonna meet up with my personal trainer or my boxer, and you see like people doing exercises? We saw an industrial dancer instructor and a singular student. And then I was with my sister, so she, of course, wait, I wasn’t with my sister. I was with my cousin, and she informed me that this is industrial dancing. You could tell us anything. Kinda like a vegan in a non-vegan’s body. But listen. Is it a form of self defense? It’s like kind of fast tai chi. You’re telling me you need an instructor for this? I don’t think you need one. I think I’ve got it. I’m just saying I saw one. I think I’ve got all the instruction I need. Right, I kind of got a hang on it. I don’t have the outfit though. Let’s give it a shot. And those respirators are hard to come by these days. Let’s give it a shot. Well, we don’t have any music. But neither do they. We did it, right? Who’s to say we didn’t? And we, of course, we love industrial dancers here. Oh, we love them. So what is the situation? The question is, who would you rather be in an arranged marriage with? Huh? She looks so friendly. She looks so exotic. Yeah, which I kinda like. I mean, there’s all types of benefits to both of these arranged marriages. Arranged marriage with a vegan, you gotta become a vegan. You gotta become a vegan. Which I don’t know if I’m prepared to do. But arranged marriage with an industrial dancer, you don’t have to become an industrial dancer. You know? Right. In fact, it probably guarantees that you will never become an industrial dancer. Yeah, let that be her thing. Yeah, and she’s not gonna be doing it all the time. She’s gonna be like Thursday, I’ve got that… Yeah, Thursday, I know. I’m going to see a movie by myself. You know? It’s like, she’s got her thing. It’s good when the partners have hobbies that don’t involve one another. Especially if one of them is an industrial dancer. That’s the thing. Everybody’s like I gotta have things in common with my partner so we can hang out and do things together. But trust me, when you’ve been married for 20 years, you wanna figure out what you can do apart. Yeah, industrial dancer. Yeah, yeah. And look at, I mean, there’s the illusion of me seeing things I shouldn’t see cause of all the holes in the clothes. I like that. Oh, I see part of her elbow that maybe I shouldn’t be seeing. Right. Okay, who’s next? Who’s up next? Vape lord. Okay, who would you rather share a small apartment with? The industrial dancer. I don’t know. I see a lot of broken lamps in that future. Yeah. Oh yeah, it’s small, right? You’re getting hit in the face. I think we gotta have a no practice policy. You gotta practice on the balcony. This is why she’s out in the snow in nearly nothing. My partner does not allow me to do this in the kitchen. She’s been forced out. I knocked over one too many pictures. She’s got her goggles though. Yeah, I’m still… Listen, I’m already in an arranged marriage with her. I’m gonna share a small apartment with her. I’m fine with that. This dude is not the type of person that I want to know. Now, obviously, a vaper is gonna be easier than a smoker, right? I mean, if we’re talking about somebody’s doing it inside. If they’re doing it outside, I guess it kind of doesn’t really make a difference. But like you can- Vape lords do it everywhere. And this isn’t just a vaper- Especially on their vlogs. This is a vape lord. They wear t-shirts that say that. Vape lords do it everywhere. But let me tell you right now, getting into vape YouTube, I did that for a little bit. There’s a dude right here, by the way. Oh, the tricks? Look at this dude on the bench next to him. Well, you know what happened? So, we haven’t talked about this, I don’t think, We had, at the time, it was Obama’s Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, or whatever his name was. And you know, and then of course with Trump, he wasn’t the surgeon general, but then with Biden he is the surgeon general again. So when he was a surgeon general, he came onto the show as a guest and did an anti vaping thing. And then the vape YouTube just got all up in arms about us doing that. We got a bunch of message from vape YouTube about how vaping’s not bad. And for a couple weeks there, I got into vape videos and I was very impressed. So ironically- It was very effective. I was like, “Well, I’m thinking about doing this.” You joined the community. It’s like, don’t tell the surgeon general, I’m thinking about vaping. No, I wasn’t thinking about doing it, but I was impressed with their tactics. Vape lord. But you know what? We’ll leave it at YouTube. I don’t wanna live with you. Vape lord. Okay. Okay, Chase. We have a nudist in our midst. Chase is now, you look up nudist in the dictionary and it’s a picture of Chase on our couch in our office. Well, just the children’s dictionary with pictures. Nudist. Who would you rather babysit your kids? Well, nudists aren’t always nude. Yes they are. But body positivity. That’s a good thing for the kids to learn. I think it’s good to learn to be, why am I saying this? My kids will learn- Why am I saying this? This is a question you should ask more. comfortable around naked people in a non-sexual away. Yeah, yeah. I think it’s like, kids, Chase is coming over tonight. Now, he will be naked the whole time. Right, but he’s gonna make dinner. And then my kids are like, “uh.” And he’s gonna play Super Smash Brothers. And then Shepherd’s like, “I’m 13.” Like I can stay home alone. Yeah, but you need to learn how to be cool around a naked person. Around naked people. Yeah, that’s true. I mean, when we went to the nudist colony in Death Valley, we were a little on edge. It would’ve been helpful to have been babysat by a nudist. Yeah, there’s no big deal. This is no big deal. I was bottle fed by a naked man. You know, that kind of thing. So we’re going with nudist. Yeah, I guess we are. That one was easy. Ooh, the Juggalo. Juggalos, Juggalos. They’re a nice group of people. And these are Juggalos, just, this is not the actual dudes. Correct. I know what what’s his name looks like. cause he made a video for my wife. The question- Insane Clown Posse. is who would you rather… You see, I just read the second half the question for the first time. Yeah, I see that. Who would you rather sit next to on a long flight? A long flight in full face paint. Well, it’s just not the face paint. It’s the Juggalo vibe. Now, we love the Juggalos. Just wanna on this show, we’re big fans of the Juggalos. One of the best moments I think in Mythical crew history is the time we went to Vidcon and we all stayed in one, this was when all the mythical crew could stay in like one suite. We didn’t all sleep together, We just all fit in one suite. We hung out in a suite. And we drank Fireball- Fireball and watched the Juggalo documentary. That was fun. And it was a highlight of my life. That was fun. And it made me appreciate both Fireball and the Juggalos. I’m sure we talked about it on Ear Biscuits some time. I’m sure we have. Because whenever we experience something that’s a highlight of our lives, we talk about on Ear Biscuits. And I’m telling you that cause I want you to listen to our podcast, Ear Biscuits. Good, good promo. I don’t wanna sit on a plane next to a naked person, cause you’re touching them in multiple places. Potentially the thigh, the knee, and the ankle. Agreed. And then finally, a paranormal investigator. Which ones are these? Just the stock ones. These are fake people? Yeah, the fake ones. They’re real people. Okay, interestingly, here’s a little tie-in to the promo. Whose podcast would you rather sit through? Oh wow. After watching that documentary, the Juggalo podcast, definitely. I mean, the myriad experiences that a Juggalo brings to the festivals brought into your ears every week? Have you heard the lyrics of that Insane Clown Posse song that’s all about the universe and the earth and stuff, and like how wondrous the world is and stuff? They got some really positive stuff. It’s stuff that they talk about. It’s not Slipknot. Don’t sleep, okay? Yeah. These people are- Making the world a better place. making the world the best place. Yeah, just like industrial dancers. Well, but let’s not forget that paranormal investigators, we do really like them. Oh, we love them. We’re big fans of them. We love them. Shout out to Nartu Foty for being paranormal. Right, yeah. You’ve been keeping quiet for a while, Nartu- We haven’t investigated in a while. because we haven’t had the investigators come around, but. You know what? Nartu has gotten quiet ever since we kind of redid the electric stuff in this side of the building. That’s a good point. Yeah, that’s right. We replaced the breaker and Nartu went away. Huh. What was that about? Good point. And yes, the video of industrial dancers has been on loop the entire episode. And you know what? It’s like looking into a Picasso. You see something new every time you look back at it. It’s like there’s a guy in the background with a bicycle. Look, I’m seeing that for the first time. Yeah, that’s who’s filming this. He’s like, ah, I doubt that. This is not an officially sanctioned video. This is someone who was riding by on a bike. Yeah, this just happened. We have a new Mythical logo and a new merch collection to go with it. Grab it now at mythical.com.
