Welcome to Good Mythical More. We’re gonna do a tournament of the most overrated activities ever! I hope you don’t get upset. Oh! But first, let’s donate $1,000 to Stand Up to Cancer to aid in their mission to raise funds to accelerate the pace of groundbreaking research that can get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives now. Yes. Please join us in giving at standuptocancer.org/rhettandlink. Mmhmm. Got our own special URL. Thanks for being your Mythical best. All right, we’ve got our first two up here ready to go and it’s a single elimination tournament. Elimination. So we’ve got painting and wine drinking classes. This is a thing? Is that two in one? You paint and you drink wine? Yeah. Yeah, this is like, a cute little, usually like- Like a paint your pot? Couples hang out situation. Yeah, it’s like the pottery painting places- The Santa Barbara thing? But there’s wine involved. No, there’s one in Los Feliz. Painting classes, I could see, is pretty overrated, but when you start adding wine to it. You’re like, I’m good! Yeah, it’s a- I could be a painter! I’m a caca painter! I’m a caca painter! I only paint caca. I only paint with caca. Paint with caca? With caca. I only paint caca and you only paint with caca. I painted with caca when I was a baby and they got a picture of it. Right on the wall next to my crib. Masterpiece. I called it ass-terpiece. You did? Yeah. That’s the only, that was your first word? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mama. Masterpiece, Escape rooms are overrated. You can have a great, great time here, but there’s a lot of really crappy escape rooms. Yeah. People just kind of throwing it together. They spent all their money on the renting like, a bear space and then they realize it’s hard to like, populate it with things that are intriguing to escape from. And also- How many escape rooms have you experienced? I’d say six. Really? Yeah. That’s a large amount. I think I’ve experienced two. You don’t think you’ve done more? You’ve done more. I’ve been with you for two, at least. The one in LA and- We did one on tour. I don’t think I went. No, we talked about it on tour, but we never did. I’ve been in one with Britton before because he was really into them. I thought that was on tour. Maybe it was. I think it’s really overrated. I’ve also been to one where you get mixed up with a group that’s not, you don’t know and one that was a complete doofus. Just a doofus who wanted to take charge, but was really dumb. Like, the worst combination of confident stupidity. Take charge doofus of the world. Oh, gosh! I can stand that personality profile. I am voting for this because can you drink in an escape room? No, they kick you out. That’s one way out of an escape room is just getting drunk. Can you wear? Yeah. Can you wear open-toed shoes in an escape room? Let’s find out this weekend. Oh, yeah. We’re living on the edge. I agree with you. Escape rooms. Overrated! Overrated, so that sticks around, though. That sticks around. Yes. And then we move on to- What we got next? Early morning sober dance parties. Okay. Stevie- I’ll never participated in this. Do you have a point of reference for this? I have heard of this and yeah, we actually had a Mythical crew member that attended a couple of these and it’s not- It’s called zumba. Well, no, it’s not marketed as an exercise class. It’s marketed as like a dance party. In the morning? Yeah, really early in the morning. It one where everybody’s got on headphones and they all just start moving around and nobody hears music? No, that’s a silent disco, I think it’s called. Yeah. This is just like you’re at the club, but it’s the morning time and you’re sober. So it’s still in a club. It’s a way to get the club to get more business. No, I just mean like in a club atmosphere. I don’t know. I don’t even wanna club. You think this is a club picture? I don’t get it. I really don’t get it. This is stock photo over here. Can something be overrated if it’s not rated that highly in the first place? No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, like I said, there’s two variables. How highly is it rated and how disappointing is it? We’re moving on from that. So it’s obviously people have low expectations. They’re like, how do I get outta this? Speaking of silent discos. Here we go. This is, now, I’ve only seen people doing this. And they seem like they’re having fun! Yeah, but they seem like, everyone who’s not listening to the music, they look like they’re just the dorkiest group of people in the world. But they look like they’re having a great time and so I think that means a lot. So if you were to actually be in that, maybe you think it’s awesome. Yeah, but it’s like a. It’s strange because it’s a communal experience without anyone hearing it, so it’s like. I don’t really understand the appeal of it. So it’s definitely- I think it’s for like- It doesn’t conceptually- Resorts, you know? Resorts where there’s like, elderly people- There’s people who don’t wanna hear music. Adjacent? They’re going to bed early? And also, it’s for audiophiles. This seemed, really? Yes. No, it’s not. Yeah, I think it is. It’s for people who are like, “I wanna feel the music in my bones.” This seems stupid to me. This I’ve done because I was intrigued and I got my hopes up. This does not beat escape rooms. You don’t think this is more overrated? I think it has the same issue as the- No, this is more overrated. Right. Okay. As the early morning rave where it’s like, you have to hear it hyped up. It has to be rated to be overrated. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When I see it, I don’t want to do it so it’s not too rated. Okay, now- Trivia night. Now you’re getting a little close to home. See, I think these are built up. “Oh, we had the best time at a trivia night! You should come next time.” And this is at like, a bar, not a game night. Right. But like, at a bar. You go and you’re like, I think you’re pretty likely to have a decent time, even if you don’t know crap. Like, even if you lose horribly, you’re in a group with somebody who probably knows stuff. I think- Didn’t the three of us go to a trivia night, Stevie? I’m sure. Yes. But I was gonna say you’re in Mythical crew territory here. You know? We got a lot of Mythical crew members who are into trivia nights. We also got a lot of myth crew members who are into escape rooms or at least were into escape rooms. Okay, so the most trivia night person at Mythical is obviously Davin, right? Yeah. Yeah. I can see that. And the most escape room person- He’s actually in that stock photo. He’s back there behind. Who’s most likely to be in a escape room at Mythical? But be able to get out. And not be able to get out? The most likely to get trapped in an escape room at Mythical. We won’t do that, but who are you like, oh, yeah, yeah. I could totally see them being into escape rooms. Is Tim? Would Tim be into escape rooms? Yeah. I would think he would be. IT Tim. And he’d be really good at getting out of them. When I have somebody like Tim with me in an escape room, I just get quiet. See, I know when to defer. I’m just like- Right. Listen, y’all. I’ll start saying things like, “Y’all shut up and listen to Tim.” Like, I will spot the smartest person in a room and get everybody to listen to them. Yeah. I’m a good person for that. If they’re wearing a vest, that helps. Yeah. Now, I think the expectations are pretty high. People are like, “You gotta come next time!” But then it has a greater chance of delivering than an escape room. It does not- It’s hard to be disappointed by a trivia night. Yeah, look what’s in that photo that is not allowed in the escape room. Drinking? Yeah. And high fiving. Yeah. You can’t high five yet. That’s another way to get kicked out. You definitely can’t high five the person that they keep sending in to give me clues. You know that person that’s like, standing in the corner, facing the corner and I’m like, “Hey, can we get three clues instead of two? Because we need it.” Do you need some help? I’m trying to be creepy, but also helpful. You know, that’s what they do in escape. So escape rooms. Overrated. Kentucky Derby. Now, this makes it seem like you’re attending the Kentucky Derby. I think we’re talking about watching the- Televised. Watching the televised Kentucky Derby. I’ve definitely thought it would be fun. Kinda like a party, you know? People throw parties for the Kentucky Derby. You might be tempted to dress up and fraternize and attend one of these. But then you realize, it’s just horses running for a little bit. Yeah. But hey, emphasis on little bit. It’s over before you know it. I think it’s one of the best sporting events because it’s just like, “All right, y’all tell me when they start.” You know what I’m saying? Like, actually, y’all tell me when they’re halfway around because that’s the part I’m interested in. It’s the perfect thing. Watching the Kentucky Derby is like watching a highlight. You know what I’m saying? It’s the perfect dose of sports. Why do you only wanna watch half of it when it’s already so short? Well, I’ll take you the whole thing. I’m just saying that the interesting part is the back stretch, you know? I’m not talking about what I do every morning. I’m talking about when the horses are coming down to the end part. People like to wear fancy stuff, as you see in there. I bet you it’s fun to go to it. Like to get in there and have some wine. Wear a big hat. It’s a little over bougie. Yeah. I’m sure. Doesn’t seem like my scene. Yeah, but just like once a year, you pretend. You pretend that you belong in that space. And contrary to an escape room, it’s always over before you know it. That never happens with an escape room. It’s like, there’s always that moment where you’re like, are we ever gonna get outta here? It’s like, God. It’s like, we had reservations. It’s like, what? We were gonna go out to eat after this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s like, is everything else in jeopardy? Am I? Yeah. You’re right. It smells funny in here. You’re right. So you’re saying skate rooms still remain unbeaten. All right, we wanna remind you. Check out Sporked. We develop sporked.com for your edification in your grocery shopping experience to know the best things to buy. In addition to that, we have dedicated writers, like Danny Palumbo, who’s over there saying what are the best snacks that he takes on a plane to keep cool, keep his head cool, you know? And I don’t mean literally. I mean if you’re afraid of flying, like apparently he is. Yeah. What’s the best snacks? Like Christy’s gonna want to see that article. It’s at sporked.com. Okay. I take personal offense at this because my life was recently altered by whale watching. Whale watching. I don’t know exactly- You hyped this up on our podcast big time! I don’t know when this episode that you’re currently watching airs in relation to the podcast where I talk about whale watching, which would be helpful for me to know. But at this point, I’m just going to say- You’ve hyped it up. Either I just talked about it on Ear Biscuit or I’m about to and I literal, whale watching- You hyped it up for 20 minutes, man. Saved my entire vacation and also- Hype it up again. Was my rec on Ear Biscuits, so this is not overrated. And then you’re gonna go and you’re not gonna see jack squat. My particular trip whale watching was life changing, but I can’t guarantee yours will be. Yeah and it’s hit or miss, you know? You either hit the hit whale. Yeah. Or you miss the whale. Or you don’t see him at all. Here’s an element of whale watching that’s questionable is the sea sickness. Dramamine, anybody? I was Dramamine’d up. You could be so miserable and vomiting and then not seeing anything. Like the swing here between at a euphoric experience and the worst thing you’ve ever done. You’re promising yourself, if I ever get off this boat, I’m never doing this again. That’s the definition of overrated, my friend. Well, here’s the thing. After my experience, I’m never doing it again because it will never get better than what happened to me while whale watching. Well, you’re just. You’re rating this is the highest experience you’ve ever had. It was the best part of my vacation. Well, the promise. Like, if you peak at whale watching. You see a whale, which is pretty darn cool. If you peak in escape room, you’ve escaped a room that you could just asked- Right. You’ve escaped a room. To be let out of. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you’ve just gotten out. You’re gonna have to get out regardless. Yeah. This is an interesting equation because as you point out, the expectations are super high and the chances that they could be completely dashed. Like, it’s either a complete win or a total fail. I know you might see a dolphin. You might see a starfish. You might see- A starfish. Listen. No, no- You’re gonna see hundreds of dolphins. Yeah, but it’s whale watching. You’re not there to see dolphins. They’re like little whales. They got blow holes. They’re smart. They’re smart. Whereas with escape room, you’re right. You’re gonna get out no matter what. What if you’re stuck inside a whale like Jonah? You mix both of them. Here’s what I’m trying to figure out. We’ve got this big discrepancy. With escape room, the worst thing that can happen is what? You’re bored and you’re like, it smells funny in here. And the worst thing could happen here is a horrible day. Yeah. And maybe even drowning. So the discrepancy between the best thing that can happen and the worst is much more pronounced with whale watching. Well, why don’t we do some role play? Wait, wait, wait, wait. You’re making my life changing activity the most overrated thing? The best thing I’ve ever done? Yeah, yeah. I think you should experience. What if Rhett were to give you a call on a Saturday morning- A whale call. That sounded like a cow. I’m sorry. And he’s gonna invite you to an activity and you have to choose between. I’ve got an extra ticket. He’s only willing do two things. To an escape room or I’ve got an extra ticket to a whale watching. Which one you going on? Well, I’ve never been whale watching. Yeah, but you know how good it can be. But I also know how bad it can be. It can’t be that bad. Worst case scenario, it’s just a boat trip. It’s just a boat trip. No, worst case scenario, you’re vomiting your guts out- That’s only if you don’t take Dramamine. And begging Poseidon to deliver you to the- That’s only if you don’t take Dramamine. If you’re responsive to that, you know? You gotta be responsive. It’s kind of like truffles. To some people, they smell like urine. You know, they don’t even really know why Dramamine me works. It’s a bit of a mystery. So you’re lobbying to keep escape room, but I’m saying the discrepancy’s so high. I just think, yeah. I see the math. I just think escape rooms are so lame. Like I don’t. I just don’t. Yeah. But so you had your expectations aren’t that high. So you’re not rating it that high. No, but people hype up escape rooms so much, but yeah, I see what you’re saying. Why is this guy holding a string of anal beads? I do think that’s a different kind of escape room. So we need to get rid of that. I’m sorry. The key is hidden in my small intestine. Karaoke. Oh, karaoke. One of our very first Mythical office parties. Was it? No, it was a rap party. Rap party for the Mythical show. The Mythical show? Was karaoke. Because Goorgen came, remember? And he sang a few songs. Yes. Man. That was my first experience at a Koreatown karaoke place. I think I drank so much that I convinced myself I could sing Hall and Oates and I blew out my voice for three days. Oh, I’m sorry. There’s a moment when you’re singing karaoke and you’re inebriated and you’re like looking into the eyes of everybody watching you sing and you realize that they’re afraid for you. Like, I remember that experience. Really? Yeah. I think if you go with the right group, everybody’s really supportive and if everybody’s really drunk, no one cares about anything. The escape room beats karaoke. You’d rather go to karaoke than the escape room? Oh, yeah. Definitely. Yeah. Definitely. Definitely. Agreed. Agreed. So, it beats. So karaoke loses to whale watching, clearly, because it- Hold on. How do we get here? That whale watching is the most overrated thing you can do when I literally just told you- We talked about it for 10 minutes! See, we camped out on the escape room of it all and then you just threw away the escape room. You knew this was the result. If I came back from a vacation, I told you that silent disco had changed my life, you wouldn’t believe me. You wouldn’t believe me. If I said early morning dance party changed my life. I wouldn’t say that. All right, here, I’ll add something else to it. There’s plenty of people who’d be like, “I saw a whale and it changed my life. I saw it up close. It was amazing. It came up.” Don’t tell my story. It blew, it sneezed in the air and then it waved its tail at me and then someone goes and they’re like, you know what? It wasn’t that good. It’s like, oh, you didn’t see any whales? It’s like, no, I did see a whale. It was just a huge fish that swam by the- Fish? You’ve, okay. You can’t call. There you go. You just lost. You can’t call a whale a fish! We’ve decided! I think it’s- But a close second is escape room. I think it’s escape rooms. You decide in the comments below. You let us know. Which one is more overrated? What’s the best creamer to put in your coffee? Well, head over to sporked.com to find out.
