Welcome to Good Mythical More, the first of 2023. Thanks for hanging out with us as we, bless you, son. I was gonna try to get that on the freeze frame. But yeah, I wanted to get, I’ll do it again. Oh, we got the freeze frame? Yeah, just do it again. We are exploring the most expensive rice. Is it dishes or? Products. Products. Products. How expensive do rice products get? Let’s find out. But let’s first do a freeze frame. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Here we go. Wanna hear about the first one? Oh yeah. Good, because that’s how this works. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let’s hear about it. Wait, listen. Thank you for asking, though. Okay. You wanna start with the fourth one? Oh, I could, yeah. No, no, I don’t think, I don’t think Chappy would like that ’cause there’s images. Oh, images. That go with all of these. Oh, wonderful. The first is the world’s smallest painting of Kaaba. Kaaba is Islam’s holiest shrine and has been painted in watercolor on a single grain of rice. Wow. So you look at it through that magnifying glass? Uh-huh. That’s cool. How much you think this is? Single grain of rice? You sure that’s not a toenail? I think that could be a toenail. I think that’s a short grain rice. A lot like what we just, you just dug in the bag. No, I’ve seen this on on Simply Nailogical. So you have, a piece of rice can look kinda like that. You ever just look at a piece of rice? And just think, wow, kinda looks like a toenail Like a long clawish toenail. Did you ever get one of those necklaces that had your name written on a piece of rice in water? No, but I’ve seen ’em and always decided that I didn’t want ’em. Did you? I got one as a gift. For a girlfriend? I think from a girlfriend. Oh. I think I got a girlfriend who gave me a rice noodle. A rice, a rice painting. And then let me guess, once you got it, you were on here like? White on rice. White on rice. I don’t remember thinking it was, I remember being very appreciative but not wearing it. Was it in a vial? Yeah, it’s a vial. It looks almost like a Christmas light. Little bulb. I know what you’re talking about. This is cooler though, because it’s a full painting. It’s kind of blurry. And it looks like it’s in some sort of museum. Or maybe that’s just a shop. How much, how much does this cost? That’s what we have to answer, In U.S. dollars? Oh, we’re supposed to write these down. Yeah. Oh. U.S. dollars. Did you give a year that it was painted? I did not. Okay. Dollar sign is like this. I’ll be honest with you. The painting’s not that great. I mean, it looks pretty impressionist on accident to me, if you know what I’m talking about. Art history students. Well, you know, it’s small. It’s very small. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s very small. That being said, it is probably one of a kind. I haven’t been writing much with this hand. It’s on Etsy, by the way. Oh, it’s on Etsy. Oh, really? Yeah, I just found that out. Okay. Yep, that changes everything. All right, I’m just, I’m changing my answer completely now. Go ahead. First I had 7,000 something and then I changed it to $435. Interesting, I had 30, 3500, and now I have 450. So we were kind of thinking the same sort of thing here. Y’all. $18,000. Did you even know? Yeah, it was kind of a throw off to say Etsy. I didn’t know that that was even a thing. I didn’t know you could go, you could spend that much cash on Etsy. $18,000? Yeah. I mean, how many of these are there? And we can fly it out right now. Yeah, we have it. And of course, it’s 2023. We bought it. Oh man. Well, I don’t- $18,000. I don’t think I’m in the market, guys. For a grain of rice. I mean, no one’s bought it yet. Nobody’s bought it. So you might have to go down to $430 but I don’t know. In the eighties and nineties, the luxury jewelry designer Cartier created a choker necklace called the rice necklace. Though they no longer make this particular style, we found one on eBay. How much are they asking for it? Okay, so it’s not made of rice. It’s just a style that looks like rice. Yeah. And this is a? Cartier. Bracelet or a necklace? It’s a choker. It’s a choker, which is a very, when you wear a bracelet as a necklace. Yeah, that’s what it is. Yeah. It is a tight necklace. A choker. You own any chokers? You ever given or received a choker? Yes, I received a choker as a gift. You gotta ask for ’em. From a girlfriend. Somebody just can’t give you a choker, you gotta ask. I mean, isn’t a puka shell necklace technically a choker? depends on how tight you tie it. Yeah, I’m saying it was 17 and a half inches. It was my neck size. If you wear it as a child and then you never take it off, it becomes a choker. Oh. Think about that. There’s just a day when your puka just pops off. There are- It’s called, it’s called a pop, it’s called a pop my puka day. Yeah, there are some kids. Have you popped your puka? There are some kids who are puka’d at a very young age and sometimes they don’t pop. Sometimes you just have a little and you just got a little puka. A little short puka. Right, and if you’re, if you have a really strong puka. You lost me. What? You lost me with that one. I was on the puka pop day but then you, but then, yeah. If it doesn’t pop. If it doesn’t pop, it’s just your neck goes in and cinches where puka is. Oh, I see, it’s permanently- It’s kinda like when there’s like a cow fence around like a tree and the tree grows over it. That’s kind of what it is. Some people have like puka overgrowth and some people actually die. Sometimes you don’t know until you get close and really start feeling the neck. Right. And you can be like, I think there’s puka in there. There’s a puka in one of those folds. Oh, you’re from the, you’re from the puka place. Interesting, tell me your story. Cartier. There’s three jewelled pieces of rice. It looks like encrusted diamonds. Encrusted is a great word, which means expensive but not as expensive as it could be. Assuming that’s 24 carat gold. This is a choker. It’s probably about 15 inches long just to put that into perspective. Cartier, though. I came up with a really good number. Oh, I didn’t mean to put a decimal. I’m gonna change that to a comma. $22, he was gonna say I came up with a really cool number. $22,222. That’s expensive but it’s not as expensive as 77,000. It’s $20,925. Whoa, Link! Yeah, you’re really, it’s a really cool number. But I went over. I think this is my new favorite number. Just look at it. Look at what my left hand can do. I was like, I figured out how to draw a two. I’m just gonna stick with it. You can churn out twos like nobody’s business. I’m a two boy. So, apparently- I can pop your puka, too. Oh gosh. This has 54 diamonds and three rows of 18 carrot yellow gold. 18 carrots. See, I was, I said 24. That’s why I went up. I’m not a jewellery man, but I did give Christy a fright when I turned to her recently and said, what’d you think if I started wearing a chain? Whoa. Like a big chain. Oh, a big chain, okay. Like a rope chain, kinda. And? She gasped ’cause she believed that I was serious. And I’m like, well, yeah, there is a little bit of me that kinda wishes I could pull off a chain. Well, you could put it on and pull it right back off. I mean, medallions. Were you wearing those glasses when you asked her? Or were you in the previous glasses at the time? I was, in my new glasses. Okay. And I’m wearing, I’m, I’m, and yes. So maybe I’m, I can add a medallion. I don’t, I agree with you that I’m not like, jewellery, for a long time, jewellery didn’t make any sense to me. And I was like, I don’t understand why we place value on these things, but I don’t know. I’ve seen some pieces of jewellery where like, the craftsmanship that went into it was like, it characterized like a lot of effort and skill in a very small space. Like this is what I’d look like. And understanding that that makes sense, you know? Yeah, that’s a pretty cool, Link. You know, I’m just, how can I have my lips parted a little bit? You don’t have to do that. You don’t have to do that. When you wear a medallion, your lips have to be parted a little bit. So, are you’re gonna be like Mr. T? What’s the P? Puka. Pop your puka. He’s the puka popper. I’m the poopa pop, pee pee. He’s the puka popper. Puka popper. Papa Puka Popper, that’s what you can call me. Triple P, baby. Triple P. I can draw P’s too with my left hand. Papa Puka Popper. Oh, you can’t see that ’cause of the… Triple P. Okay, this next one. And if I do this, watch. Watch this, Stevie. Okay. If I do this. Uh-huh. You know what I’m doing now? No. I’m pushing P. Oh, okay. Please. If you don’t know what that is. Then you will be offended. Then you can’t wear a medallion. Okay, you, listen. We could end this More with you deciding that you are going to purchase a literal rice company because there’s a rice company for sale right now on eBay. Who knew? Who knew? You can eBay a company? I guess so. And the description says, opportunity is knocking. Nature’s Wild Rice company. I don’t know where this place is, in Minnesota. Bemidji? I’m sorry for everyone who lives there. We forgive you. Is putting their business of 42 years up for sale. The owners are retiring this year.

Please contact me with any questions you may have and for more details. So they don’t have a supplier? They are the supplier. But they’re, but they’re just like, they’re older, they’re giving it up. Yeah. And where is this? In Minnesota. It’s a rice making company. Nature’s Wild Rice company. I will say, you know, I gave you an opportunity for like over 10 minutes for you to give me your one minute of compliments. You know, my one minute of nice but it looks like I’m having to remind you. While we’re thinking about how much we’re gonna pay for this rice company in Minnesota, why don’t you shower some? Just one minute, all I need is one minute. I’ll do it if you plug our podcast.

Yeah, you’re really good at tasting stuff and then seeing where it is on a board, on a map. Yeah. You know, and if, and you apparently, you’re really good at watching food stuff on TikTok. Yeah, I’m good at that. Tasting things and really liking food. Can you give me some compliments that I don’t already know? That aren’t, that I just don’t, maybe some hidden things I don’t demonstrate. You’re really good a stating your needs when it comes to wanting compliments. Okay, there you go. You can take a compliment. I can take it to the bank. I think that you’re, I bet you’re good at unsubscribing from emails, aren’t you? But I’m a little bit better at subscribing. Yeah. That’s the problem. That’s more me than you. I’m always fighting that. You’re really good at subscribing to emails. Yep. You’re really good at setting up alternative phone numbers. Yeah, thanks for helping me with that today. Yeah. I got you to call it to make sure it worked. Yep, yep. It’s not like a burner thing just so you understand. You’re good at setting up a burner. So you’re telling me you’re not pushing P? Does that really mean something that I shouldn’t be saying? Or are you joking with me? I’m sure it probably does on Urban Dictionary. Yeah, okay. You know, I got a Google phone number. Yeah, yeah. You know what I’m saying? You got a Google phone number that like, somebody’s gotta like meet you for a delivery, something like that. You give the Google phone number. But you want your phone to ring when it’s called. I think someone called like our, remember the the Brow Life Buddy System one 800 number? Yeah. I think that my email, well, I’m opening up the gates here. I think it’s connected to the service that uses that, that like tells you what voicemails are. And someone called this morning to check on the employment of someone that I have no idea who it is. And that person’s never gonna get a call back. And they called the Brow Life number. Really? So they wanted to hire somebody? They wanted to hire someone. Well, I don’t know. They said they were checking on the employment status. I don’t know what that could mean. But they, that person said they were employed by Brow Life. I had somebody call me. Somebody made up a number for a loan application. Yeah. I had somebody call me and leave a voicemail about my request to like, my inquiry. I can’t say that word. Inquiry into some sort of protocol at Pollo Loco in Long Beach. You were asking about the Pollo Loco protocols? For something for like, like COVID something. So, when you separate the light and dark chicken. I almost called him back and gave them some answers. I think you could buy that company for 3.1 million. I think that’s way too high. I went with $475,000 for this business. It’s a rice company in Minnesota, bro. $499,000. You’re really close. Woo! Dang, that was. Yeah, so are we doing it? Well, but it’s eBay, though. I just outbid you. Whoops. That’s why you put your business on eBay, apparently. Man, okay, well I don’t know. I feel like we could sell some rice stuff. The most expensive rice. Mythical rice. Yeah, I don’t know. Nature’s Wild Rice company does sound a little bit better. Okay, a hundred year old sticky rice steamer from India. Sticky rice steamer from India, 100 years old. Do they get better with age or something? Oh, they get stickier, that’s for sure. Do they get seasoned or something? Yes. Like a skillet? Oh, look at that. Oh, this is, this is an antique. They’re not, you’re not actually buying this to use it. You could, I betcha. You could bowl with it. So that is a, that is a, rice bowl from antiquity. Well, a hundred years ago. It looks like a lot older than a hundred years old. Well, if you don’t treat something right. Well, I think it, wouldn’t you, you’d probably like put it in fire repeatedly. Yeah, it’s seen a lot. It’s got a little crack in it. You see that little crack? A hundred year old, I don’t know if this is like, there’s millions of these and everyone’s got a hundred year old rice steamer they’re trying to get rid of. No, you don’t, they don’t decorate Chili’s with these things, dude. It’s not like they’re just bought from warehouses. What, where is this sold? Etsy. Etsy. Cultural patina. Well, it could be anything. It could be any price ’cause now we’ve learned $18,000 goes on Etsy. A hundred year old. Is it $1 per year? Let’s see. What you got, man? 1350. I said, I’m practicing my sevens now. $777. $3,900. Oh, wow. That’s an expensive rice steamer. Who would’ve known? Who would’ve known? Authentic. That’s more expensive than like a brand new rice steamer. Yeah. Yeah, it is. One that you can plug in. Yeah, it is. And they work so much better now. Okay, let’s just do one more. One more. One more. Let’s make this one count. Yeah. 1986 trading card for football star Jerry Rice. 1986. Rice, get it? Rice. Jerry Rice. It’s signed. It looks official. It is rated mint nine. Now, that’s not his rookie year, ’86. It’s not his rookie year. Thanks for that information. I mean, I don’t think, there’s no way it’s his rookie year because, right? I mean. ’86, good year for the Bears, But it’s signed and it’s mint nine. I don’t know what that means. This might be his rookie year, dude. Usually it would it say his rookie year. No, no, I don’t think, I don’t think these would say rookie year. His rookie year was 1985. Morgan just showed it to me on a phone. Is that a, but this is a ’86 card. It says ’86 But maybe they come out. Okay, usually it would say like rated rookie. That’s baseball. It says, I mean on, on Google on the side for images, it does say this is his rookie card. Okay, all right. Okay. Yeah. That changes everything, Stevie. Whatever that means. Signed rookie card. I know I have a Darryl Strawberry rookie card that’s worth about $20. Still got that Ken Griffey, Jr., too. I’m saying $2,300 and 23 cents. I went with $4,100. 400K. We drastically- 400K? Yeah. What? I mean, again. Half a million, almost half a million dollars? That’s the asking price. And it hasn’t been sold but like unless the asking price is just wildly tenfold different. It’s not even a good looking card. Hey at that, right, at that price, which rhymes with price, Jerry should twice. That’s not very nice. Our latest Ear Biscuit is all about you and your first impressions of us. So make sure to check it out wherever you get your podcasts. And the video versions are now coming out every Wednesday, a whole four days sooner than last year.
