Welcome to Good Mythical MORE. And you’re Belinda and everywhere else you’re Linda. My Belinda. What are we gonna do, your Belinda? Oh, man. Rhett, you wouldn’t believe it. We have the 10 most annoying toys as ranked by a stellar publication. You’re kidding. We’re gonna do that? And we’re gonna rank these and see if they agree with us. What if I was always this excited about everything that you said? You are in the thumbnails. I’d prefer that. I’d prefer that. That’s right! We’re gonna rank them. Thumbnail. We’re gonna see how our ranking compares to the real thing. But first, we’re donating $1,000 to The Jed Foundation to aid in their mission to protect emotional health and prevent suicide for teens and young adults. The Jed Foundation partners with high schools and colleges to strengthen their mental health, substance abuse, and suicide prevention programs. And they work to equip young people with the skills and knowledge to help themselves and each other. Please join us in giving at jedfoundation.org. J-E-D. That’s how you spell Jed. Thanks for being your mythical best, Jed Foundation, and for you in helping out, as well. All right, let’s see the first one. So let me give a little bit more context to the people watching, other than a fine publication. So in February of last year, New York Times writer Jessica Delfino published an unofficial ranking of the 10 most annoying kids’ toys- Delfino? So you have the toys in front of you. You’re gonna rank them in the order you find most annoying, ten being the least annoying, one being the most annoying. And then we’re gonna compare it to her ranking at the time. Jessica Delfino, is she a negative Nancy? This is all database for her. So she chatted with more than a hundred mothers in an online parenting group. I see a couple things that really gonna be offensive you personally on this list, but let’s start with the talking baby walker. Talking baby walker. Hi, friend. It’s music time! I mean, it’s already annoying me. My phone is- Ribbit, ribbit. These little kids, man. They’re not learning anything. This isn’t representative of the real world. Hey, I’m not developed so I have to push on this in order to walk. I mean, what are- You gonna just learn- Listen, you just pull on things, but it doesn’t even work. What happens? You can’t- This goes around the baby’s neck, I think. Like a collar. Listen, if you press a frog in real life, it doesn’t “ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.” It dies. I’m so annoyed by this. Put it at number one. Hello? Yeah, what’s up? Something’s gotta be more annoying than this. Let’s put it at three, just so we can move on and not have to think about it. Shut up! How do you turn it off? Like that. And I got this. We didn’t give our kids those things. Now, this right here- I wasn’t willing to sacrifice my own peace and quiet. Gone in the first 48 hours. Anything that’s not permanently attached- They’ll eat it and poop it right out. Right. Gone in 48 hours, back in 67 hours. Six to seven hours? 67. Slime. You can keep that. Now- Oh, slime. There’s been a lot- Is this that fart slime? You had a slime-heavy household. Lando’s into the slime. Lando still- At least was. He still likes to make slime occasionally. Do you find it annoying? No, because actually when he has it- He cleans it back himself, though. He’s a clean kid. I’ll ask for a piece of- Something’s in my throat. You okay? Hey, just take some slime. Chug some slime. It’ll get rid- I can shove it down my throat and pull out. Ooh! Do it. Oh, God! I got it! It’s stuck on the end, there. Oh, man. That’s ridiculous, man. Does this make a bouncy ball? I like slime. Slime ain’t never- Oh! It bounced. Huh. How did you do that? This is pretty cool. You didn’t know about the bouncy? I didn’t know that slime- This isn’t annoying. This is great. Right, so we’re putting that down at the bottom. You gotta turn your head first. You gotta turn your- I just missed the timing. I was like… You drew so much attention to the fact that it was not in your mouth. I just got it in my hair. Okay. Hey, you hit me on the lips with that. That was pretty good. I think if I throw this at your eye, it’ll stick to your glasses. Stop. Oh, right on the rock tumbler. I think if I throw this in your mouth, it’ll choke you. Breathe in. Open your mouth and breathe in. No, man. I don’t wanna die. I don’t wanna die. Furby. I don’t wanna die. Oh, the Furby. We’ve killed one of these with a guillotine. These things, you think they’re cute until you realize how annoying they are and unkillable. It’s less annoying than a talking baby walker, though, isn’t it? Ooh! Hi. ‘Cause it’s kind of cute. It is. Just for the first day, man. This is more annoying. Okay. Put it at number two. Goodnight, bestie. Goodnight, bestie. Can you do something to make it mad? Where it gets mad? It’s freaking shedding. So sleepy. Oh, come on. We’ll just go to sleep, homie. Goodnight. Okay. Shut up. Ant farm. Oh, look. Oh, look at that. Like a alligator. Why is an ant farm annoying? How could an ant- First of all, where are the ants, Lucas? Oh, sh… They’re out! They’re in the studio! How do you load an ant farm? You just set it outside for a couple days and wait? Or does it come with a little bag of ants? What happens? Bag of ants. It comes with a bag of ants? It does come with a bag of ants. Yeah. Yeah. How are they alive? They’re in a little box? Bag? Shipped recently. I don’t know, they live forever. Man. You know what? I always thought I wanted an ant farm, but I never actually got one. So this is my opportunity. I don’t find them annoying. I don’t find them annoying. But yeah, how could this be annoying? Like what about an ant farm is annoying? I mean, have you had an experience with an ant farm? Right now I’m having it. Right, neither one of us have. Has anybody had an experience with an ant farm? Do they bust open? Yeah. They bust open and the bag of ants gets out? Yeah, they do. They get out. Oh, the ants get out. Yeah, easily. Oh, easily. Yeah, there’s no security in those things. Oh. No secur- No security. Okay. I see what you mean. If the ants get out, you’re basically infesting your house with ants. Yeah. Then your house becomes the ant farm. That’s actually pretty annoying. Okay. Well… Now, I’m preparing for you to be personally offended by this rock tumbler. Oh! Seriously? I mean, just… I guess it’s because of the noise and that, you know, the noise to enjoyment ratio is very out of whack. It’s, like, you endure a lot of noise for- And then you’re interacting with it and there’s a lot of waiting. It’s pretty much mostly waiting. I put this thing in my garage. Lando and I did this early on in the pandemic, I think. And- What’d you make? I could hear it in the house. I was like, “What is that? What is that noise? Oh, yeah. The rock tumbler.” Did it make some smooth rocks? Three weeks later, “What is that noise? Oh, still the rock tumbler.” So yeah. How smooth did the rocks get? So smooth. Really? The smoothest. But you get anxious, and you want to open it. And you open it too early, and- What if you put slime in there? Nothing. Nothing happens if you put slime. I don’t find it too annoying. I find it kind of, like, it’s almost like a white noise machine. Put it in a remote location. Talking puzzle. Talking puzzle. Now, put it back in. No, no. Put one back in. Hold on. You gotta s… No, put it in the right one. Zebra! Zebra. Sound like a horse to me. Here’s a… I don’t know if that one comes out. I think it might just be an example piece. This one doesn’t come out! Yeah, that one’s a trick- How annoying is that? That’s a trick piece. Why would it not come out? Did you glue it in? That’s Morgan’s. I don’t know. ♪ One, two, three ♪ ♪ I’m monkey ♪ ♪ Four, five, six ♪ ♪ It’s a counting day ♪ ♪ Seven, eight, nine ♪ ♪ You’re doing fine ♪ ♪ End with ten and count again ♪ Morgan, is this thing annoying to you? Yeah, a little bit. A little bit. Can you just push on it without the piece? Yeah, all the smart kids figure that out. No. No, wait, no. Look. Bear. See? The smart kids figure that out. A bear just farted. Elephant. Yeah. Well, that’s realistic. Down. Lion. Link’s learning a lot. That just says, “Bird.” This is less annoying than the talking baby tumbler. It’s more annoying than an ant farm. Morgan, I didn’t know this is actually yours. I wouldn’t have really tried to destroy it. No, that’s all right. Glitter shaker. Did you say talking baby tumbler? I probably did. Talking baby walker. Glitter shaker. Oh, God. That’s number one. This is number one. Yeah. I don’t, I mean- What? Oh, this is against the rules, man. Well, it’s not open. Try it. Oh my gosh. What do you mean try? Try shaking it. I know you. I did shake it, but this is rule number one. Do you know the hell that could be unleashed by this thing? At GMM, it’s rule number two. No glitter. Good gracious, man. That is a nightmare. I mean, that sticks to the inside of the plastic. It’s the problem that the ant farm has, but it’s worse. Think about the person who works at Charles Leonard Incorporated in Hauppauge, New York, who makes this stuff. Oh, man. He’s got it everywhere, in every orifice. Do they start with a big glitter sheet and just cut it up with scissors? You wanna know how they make glitter? Yeah, I wanna go to- Well, don’t tell me. I wanna go to the glitter factory. Can I go by myself? I’m not going with you. I mean, I don’t- Can you make it out alive? What will it hurt to take- Don’t do it! I mean, think about how legit, I’m not gonna do it, but if I wanted to make you the most legitimately mad you’ve maybe ever been in your life, if I were to take this off and just dump it on your head, like, right here. Think about how mad that would make you, like, you might kill me on camera. Like, you might murder me on camera. Permission to murder on camera? I’m not gonna do it. Go for it. Yes, because that is exactly what would happen. Okay. That’s number one. I’m on team number one. Yeah, glitter shaker. You know what’s not annoying? Look at this. It’s the “Rhett & Link Sing Brooks & Dunn in the year 3000.” You mean to tell me we have a vinyl album, a record? Yeah, we do. Where we sang Brooks & Dunn? We sang “Neon Moon” and “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” “Boot Scootin’ Boogie.” But we sang it in the year 3000? What? What? What? What? If you want this- Pick that up, man. Pick it up. This emulates a Brooks & Dunn album that actually exists. That’s what we got it from- But it’s got a little bit of update to the year 3000.

Kinetic Sand. Oh, this is good stuff. Yeah, I like that stuff. This stuff feels- Oh, look at it. Look how- It has a- The way that it just- You’re kind of demonstrating what people find It’s like it’s alive. Annoying about it, though, is that is gets everywhere. But it comes up pretty easy. Yeah, you can group it back together pretty easily. Is this regular sand that had a spell cast on it? Yes. How do they do it? It’s, you know- I think the Devil is involved in this stuff. And polymers. Polymers. Polymers. That’s the Devil stuff, man. I mean just the way that it- Is it chemistry or is it demons? Tonight at 7:00. If you put this- Tonight at 7:00. Seven o’clock is not a news time. Yeah, it’s not news, man. It’s after news. It’s like the ET slot. Entertainment Tonight. Logo ET slot. Tonight at 7:00, we’re gonna put this in a ant farm. Well, I wonder what ants would do with this. We’re gonna have a preacher pray over this and see if it changes. Tonight at 7:00. Chemistry or demons? You be the judge. Troubleshooter. Trouble chooter. Trouble chooter. I think we demonstrated this is pretty annoying, though. I mean, it’s on my hands now. It feels so good, and it’s not like glitter. It’s not like glitter. It’s dirt. Because it- Because it does come off. You can get it off. You won’t find something- Yeah, it comes off. In your buttcrack later on. But it’s pretty annoying. It’s not as annoying as a talking puzzle. It’s less annoying than an ant farm ’cause the ants can get out. Agreed, man. Play-Doh. Who’s annoyed by Play-Doh? Why is Play-Doh annoying? Man, she’s a negative Nancy. Who’s annoyed by Play-Doh? I think Play-Doh gets everywhere. Play-Doh’s less annoying than slime. Oh, this is some fresh Play-Doh. And we’ll just leave rock tumbler there because why not? Yeah, I can’t see why that would be the case. All right, we’re down to the last one. Harmonica. I can’t even get this out. A harmonica? Now, this might be personally offensive to you ’cause you play the harmonica, but- I am a virtuoso on this thing. Kids who play the harmonica. Oh, gosh. That got pretty annoying, pretty fast. I don’t know whose spit that was, but I sucked it all out. Oh, gosh! By the end- A kid and a harmonica? Yeah, I think- Are not soon enough parted. Are you considering moving? There. I mean, away from Link. No, I love it here. Okay. This makes sense to me. Your ranking makes sense. I will say the New York Times ranking doesn’t make as much sense to me. So we’re gonna start at number 10. That’s right, girl. You’re with us! Yeah, so their number 10, which is least annoying, somehow Furby. And she has little subheaders, so it says number 10, Furby, colon, and then it has a description of why the toy is annoying, and it says, “Relentless,” which makes sense. Furby is relentless. Yeah, so why is it at number 10? Apparently, this thing right here makes it relent. If you can get that back on there. What you talking ’bout, Tito? What you talking ’bout, Tito? What you calling me Tito for? Goodnight, bestie. See, that works. All right. Okay, and I apologize in advance ’cause I can’t stand up for these choices. I know you’re just gonna get perpetually frustrated by this because at number nine is the harmonica. All right. What’s the adjective? It says, “Irritating saliva spreader.” Saliva. Okay. So we were right on that. Saliva spreader, yeah. That thing goes everywhere. At eight, we have Kinetic Sand. Description, “Slip hazard.” Slip hazard. Slip hazard. Really though? Then at seven, we have rock tumbler, which, I mean, you can- We’re in this area. I think you can- You know what the descriptor is. Noisy. Loud, yeah. Then we have the talking puzzle at number six. This is an interesting descriptor. Creepy. Creepy. No, it’s not. Creepy? I disagree with you on that. Creepy. I have to scroll to this one ’cause I’m confused. I swear that the bear farts. Is it me? Bear! Oh. It’s because, I guess, it breaks. And then it ribbit- This says, “Ours ribbited for 48 hours straight.” I mean- that’s your problem. Song, too. ♪ Says hello ♪ Yeah, bear has a little fart thing that happens. Okay. At number five, the glitter shaker. Okay, well, that’s just plain wrong. With the descriptor, “Eternal.” Yeah, right. Which is correct. Yeah. You never get rid of it. This makes no sense. At number four is Play-Doh, and it says, “Destroyer of nice things.” Has Play-Doh ever destroyed something? I think if you rub it into your carpet or rub it into your hair or- Those are both nice things. Rub it into a piece of fine art. True. Number three, we have ant farm. The description is very confusing ’cause it has- It doesn’t say the ants escape, it just says, “Depressing.” Depress. Just watching ants trapped. I guess. It’s the number three most annoying kids’ toy because it’s depressing. Because it’s depressing? Yeah. Number two is slime. You can imagine similar reasons to number four, Play-Doh, in that it is destructive. And at number one is the talking baby walker. I mean, it’s pretty annoying. And the description is, “Unclear frenetic identity.” Unclear frenetic identity. What does that mean? I think it just means that it’s- What this is supposed to accomplish and represent and train is unclear, but very frenetic. Yes. Which I agree. “It makes no sense. A barn, a keyboard, a phone. What are you?” Is the quote. Yeah, most kids who are raised on this, end up never being fulfilled in their vocational work. Right. Yeah. It’s, like, always switching jobs. Just trying to figure out what they’re supposed to be doing. You know, don’t give your kids this thing. You’ll mess them up forever. Yeah, I do hate this thing. These are Morgan’s. It looks like that- To get the “Rhett & Link Sing Brooks & Dunn” vinyl, join third degree monthly by April 30th or third degree quarterly or annual by June 30th. Mythicalsociety.com for details.
