Woo! Welcome to Good Mythical More. We have the most in, watch out. – Hoo-hoo embarrassing restaurant experiences as experienced by Mythical Crew Members. Here we’re gonna rank these from most embarrassing to even more embarrassing. Yeah, but first, let’s tell a 10 word story. Ravioli. I’m trying to tie it into what we just did. We just did, Will it Ravioli? Murders. Little. Thoughts. When. Fettuccine. Tries. Cycling. Around. Why would they murder? Mommiolis. Raviolis. Murder. Murder. Little. Fettuccine – Thoughts. When Fettuccine tries cycling around Mommiolis. Yep. Ravioli murders little thoughts when Fettuccine tries cycling around Mommiolis. What’s a Mommioli? It’s the maternal ravioli. Oh like the mother, like kombucha. Yeah. It’s where all the Ravioli – or sourdough bread. It’s where all raviolis come from. There’s one. – The Mommiolis It’s pulsating, it’s under the Vatican. Anybody who’s making, – It’s just one Ravioli. Ravioli has a Mommioli in the back. It’s just one ravioli under the Vatican. It beats like a heart. And anytime you want new ravioli, you have to go and take a little piece off of it and it grows. – That is gross. It grows back. Let’s see our first story, I’m told that we have vlogs. I love this new, – Confession cam? Innovation. – Wow! I love the innovation. As a kid, I was a very picky and particular eater. I really, really loved cheeseburgers at restaurants and I always wanted ’em to be cut in half, but I wanted ’em cut perfectly in half, not a little off center. So my dad and my uncles would always argue over who had to sit next to me because they didn’t want to cut it wrong. ‘Cause nine times outta 10, didn’t matter how long they went over, like where to cut it, when they would do it, I would throw a little bit of a tantrum and get really mad that it wasn’t cut perfectly in half. I also really loved ketchup and wanted it on everything. And once again, all the adults never wanted to sit next to me. They basically had to draw straws because I would force ’em to put ketchup all over the plate and inevitably it would end up all over them as well. Yeah, not my proudest moments. Oh, so this is, okay. So, it’s kind of – Story Time with Chase. It’s sort of a, it’s a situation. He was embarrassed by himself. That rared its head multiple times. Embarrassed now. Chase, you’ve never asked any of us to cut anything in half perfectly. But I mean, I come to think of it though, every time he splits an apple it did, it is perfectly two halves. Yep. Is that how that got started? Yeah, I split an apple perfectly in half so that no one has to watch me throw a tantrum, Right. – when it’s not. Did you bang your head against the fireplace? Like your mom said. That was like around the same time. I think it was like in that like four year old, three to four range. They just let you throw a tantrums. That’s what it sounds like to me. They did try to stop me and they were definitely like the parents who would like take me outside. They wouldn’t just like let it keep going in the restaurant Dude. But I was a very angry toddler, basically. Wow. I mean, I guess you got it all outta your system. I’ve never seen you throw a tantrum. That’s what my family says too. They say that like, I got all my anger out by the time I was like four and a half. Yeah, you seem pretty docile. I guess it works that way sometimes. I think the fact that you were young makes this mildly embarrassing. There’s no way that this could be the most embarrassing of the box. It’s embarrassing because, you know, I’m from Burbank and we go to like that restaurant, where it happened, like where I was always asking people to cut burgers and getting ketchup all over everyone, like once a month. And they bring it up every time. You know the waiters are all still there. What? The restaurant, the waiters bought the restaurant and so they own it collectively. ‘Cause it was going under. So like there was this big like, Burbank Crowdfunding thing that happened. And you walk in and they’re like scrambling. And my parents then like, laugh about it and like poke fun at me. and they’re like, “Oh geez, we remember you, you were such a little. What restaurant is this? It’s the Granada. It’s right next to Costco. The Mexican Restaurant. Granada. – Granada. It’s a Mexican restaurant, and you ordered a cheeseburger? Oh yeah. Oh well no, actually as a kid, I was really excited about ordering the hamburguesa con queso, like I was. Why did it have to be in half? I had liked biting it from the middle. I didn’t wanna like bite from the outside of the burger. Did you eat the whole thing or did you not eat to the edge? I would eat the whole thing. Yeah. – Oh. I ate the whole thing, but I needed it cut in half. One thing. – Well, we gotta rank you. Alright, so let’s move on to the next one. Who’s next? Okay, my embarrassing restaurant story is, I was working at a comedy club and I was a server there and during one of the shows I was carrying a glass of red wine on like a tray to my table. And I tripped on the carpet and spilled the entire glass of wine on one of the customers who was there watching the show. And there was a commotion of course because I’m like, “Oh gosh, I’ve just spilled red wine on this woman”. And the comedian ended up kind of roasting me in his set a little bit. I don’t remember too much of it because I kind of blocked it out from my memory. It was so embarrassing and so traumatizing. I did get pity tips though, so. Man, that’s the thing. When you’re at a comedy club, you just don’t want to end up being a target. You don’t wanna do anything to draw attention to yourself. Pity tips, pity tips, pity tips. The comedian is just waiting for that. Can you, how many times can you say pity tips? Pity tips, pity tips, pity tips, pity tips, pity tips, pity tips, pity tips, pity tips, pity tips. Whoa! Look at me go. I’m not gonna try that. She could do it. Yeah. This is more embarrassing than Chase by a long shot. It’s mortifying. Jenna, you even like, you kind of looked angry when you were telling the story. It was a little, it was a little. You’re channeling some emotion. I don’t like thinking about it. It was not fun for me. It’s not pleasant. It’s not a good moment. Part of the job though. What did the customer say? The customer was actually really, really nice. And I like went to the bathroom with her and helped her and like totally cleaned up, everything got cleaned up, she was fine. But it’s wine, it stained. – Was very sweet. She was very sweet and it was, well it wasn’t like, it was like dark color. Okay, good. She didn’t have on a light color. She didn’t, she wasn’t wearing white. Like a white blouse. Yeah, but I still spilled wine all over her. I hate the idea of being roasted at a comedy show. Every time. You’re an employee. I think Jenna’s moving ahead because, I mean, she was an adult. I was an adult, yeah. This was just maybe, She’s an adult. Eight years ago, yeah. Yeah, Chase was there a comedian at your restaurant that immediately made you a part of their routine? My Uncle Kevin thinks he’s a comedian and would often try to make quips to make himself feel better ’cause he was covered in ketchup. – Uncle Kevin. Oh, Uncle Kevin. Trying to make himself feel better. Uncle Kevin. That didn’t do it. I feel like working here as an adult for most of my adult life has gotten rid of my sense of embarrassment. That’s true. I had to pick from my childhood. You’re welcome. Alright, who’s next? Hey, Rhett and Link. Matt Carney, big fan. Here is my crazy restaurant story. So I used to work at this restaurant, not the one you’re thinking, I know what you’re thinking. Not that restaurant, a different restaurant. It was a sushi restaurant back when I lived in San Diego and I worked with this girl who I had a really big crush on and she said to me one day she said, “I’m having this show, I’m performing in Tijuana tonight if you wanna come check it out. And I’m like, “Oh, here’s my chance. I’m gonna go down to Tijuana”. So me and my buddy, we went down to Tijuana and we checked out her show and wouldn’t you know it, she was performing with her boyfriend who I didn’t know she had. So I had crossed the border all in an effort to find out that I was always in the friend zone. That was great. And to make matters worse, I got detained by border police on the way home ’cause the friend I was with was not actually born in America and didn’t have his Green Card with him. So his mom had to come deliver his Green Card to the border police at 2:00 AM in the morning. That’s my story. Dang Carney! And was your girlfriend dating a donkey? Oh, was she dating a donkey? What? – Yeah. That was that kind of show, yeah. Oh. Tijuana. – Not me. Yeah, well I thought what you were gonna say was that it was, yeah, it was a different kind of show than you maybe expected. With her boyfriend. She was putting on a different kind of show. You know what I mean? A little different kind of show. I, growing up in San Diego, I know exactly what you mean. I don’t think a lot of people do. But it wasn’t, what kind of show was it? Was it, – Like a music show. She was performing at this random club in Tijuana. And they were just like, they were a duo. Yeah. Were they good? Were they good, I don’t remember. You dejected man. And then you couldn’t even get back. This is, I don’t obviously she didn’t know you were interested in her. No she, maybe she did. Sometimes people. She’s toying with his emotions? Some people, sometimes people will do that and be like, “I’m gonna invite him to the show. I know he’s into me. And then it’ll just, you know, it’ll just spice things up a little bit”. I mean, if you were like called on stage that. Make my boyfriend a little jealous. If you would’ve like, came onto her and then like in the middle of the show and then the boyfriend comes out on stage and like everybody’s watching. I mean, that would definitely take the cake. I think it’s, you could have kept it to yourself, you know? That’s what I feel like. I mean, not here. The whole story? Yeah. Yeah. You didn’t need to call, you didn’t need to call in. No one had to know, no one really knew except you and your friend. Now everybody knows. So It wasn’t like everybody in the comedy club or everybody in the restaurant. Yeah, ’cause now we, every time we introduce you, we have to say, “Matt Carney, former employee of Hotdog on a Stick:, and once stranded at the border”. Because she, – Because of a crush. We’ll figure out a, you know. A better way to say that? We’ll figure out a shortened way to say it. Let’s just keep it, “Former Hotdog on a Stick employee”. Okay yeah, we’ll do that. It’s got a ring to it. It’s got a ring to it. Nice garage door. Okay, next one. Okay, so my worst restaurant experience was working at BJ’s Brewhouse as a server. And our uniform was black slacks, black button up. Very professional. I come into a shift, my friends pull me aside and they’re like, “Hey, you have something on your butt, you might wanna go check it out”. So I go to the bathroom. Turns out I’d sat in melted chocolate, which had melted in my car, and I was trying to clean it up. Water and chocolate, don’t mix. Didn’t do well, didn’t help. And just made it look more like poop. So I went to my car. Thankfully I had an extra pair of leggings. I changed into those, went back inside. My managers weren’t thrilled at me wearing leggings ’cause it’s not very professional. But I told them the situation and they agreed that it was better than looking like I pooped my pants. So they were okay with it for the one night. But yeah, it wasn’t great. It was kind of gross and definitely a little traumatic and stressful at the time. Well, first. Great sound on that. – Yeah, sounded great, I mean this. – Thank you. Just the, – Tally does the sound in our world. – Just the, I mean, I’m gonna pick the best, most insulated room in the entire building. Correct, yeah. Wouldn’t have it any other way. First time seeing you out of a mask actually, I think. Oh! Yeah, yeah I was like, who? Hm, oh that’s Tally. That’s me. Okay. Some people who only started working here once we did the mask thing. Yeah, that’s true. So it’s, there’s a mouth under there. I have a face, yeah. Yep, you got the rest of the face. BJ’s Brewhouse. BJ’s Brewhouse. You talking about a Pizooki? Yeah, that’s the home of the Pizookie. Yeah, I know all about them. You had a Pizookie in the pants. Oh. Had little pants Pizookie? I mean that would’ve been appropriate if it, you know, if that had of really been the case. But you said it was black. It was black. – Least it wasn’t all white. So it’s not like you wearing a white outfit and you just like, dooky! Well, chocolate’s brown. Brown/black. I mean, but you know, it’s just like. You know? Okay. BJ’s. I know you’re a sound person, so like color’s not your thing, but. Yeah. Yeah, I don’t know anything about color. You’re right. – Yeah, right, right, right. I mean, take it from a guy who’s crapped in his pants. Literally. Yeah, on the way to Dollywood. Yikes. You know, so it’s like, I mean, that’s a bit more embarrassing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was not chocolate. What, were like customers pointing it out? You want, do you want me to tell you how it sounded? Just, I mean ’cause that’s, you’re into sound. Yeah definitely, definitely. I mean, it didn’t make much of a sound, actually. I didn’t expect that. What sound did it make? It just was nothing. I mean, I’m sure if there was a, Skid mark! First of all, I’m sure that Tally could have gotten a microphone in exactly the right place to capture the sound. Me, just driving down the road in Tennessee, it made no sound. But I could just imagine that if you got a microphone in exactly the right place. No. – It would’ve made a sound. It would’ve been like, Tally] Perfect. Was that it? – I’m actually amazed at how quickly I made the perfect sound. Like on the, I’m never made that sound. I’m never gonna try again. No, make it again. No, I’m not gonna do it. It was perfect. That’s where the rewind button is for. I feel like I’m able to duplicate your sound, right? No no, there’s too much wetness. No no, yours sounds too much like a mouth and it’s got too much vibration. Mine, I’m not, you heard it the first time. So Tally how long did you work there? Only a year. Okay. And how far into the job did that happen? It was pretty early. I started in the summer, so it was hot, hot car in the summer. Hot car in the summer? Yeah. Okay, and did they bring it up multiple times? No, thankfully I didn’t, I hadn’t known that many people yet, so I was like, still kind of new. It seems like that, that would work against you though? Yeah, they weren’t that social of people. So yeah. Okay, yeah. I don’t know if this gets past. Doesn’t get past Jenna. Jenna, I mean Jenna has. Does it get past? A professional comedian. Link] Yeah. Incorporate her into the routine. Tally’s going in second place right now. So it’s girls versus boys at this point. Now, before we hear the last story, we’re still good! We’re still good! That’s what all these people are saying. And if they would’ve known that it was a catchphrase at the time, it’s like, “Oh, we’re still good, I got leggings”. Right. That would be a great one. This is the party game to turn disasters into hilariously positive situations. It’s a good life skill to learn with anybody that you want to hang out with. Play, We’re still good! Available at mythical.com. Yes. It’s chock full of stuff. I mean, this weighs 18 pounds. Yeah yeah, at least. I’m gonna leave that right there so you don’t forget. Let’s see, our last story. When I was in my mid-twenties, I was part of an annual charity event called, the Nine Bar Open, where you go to nine different bar restaurants as a team, play a hole of mini golf that the bar has set up and it raises a bunch of money. Everyone goes around, has drinks all day on a Saturday. It’s great fun. But there’s also like a costume element. And so my team’s wearing adult diapers that year, only. And so I’m in an adult diaper in a restaurant and it’s like lunchtime and I’m supposed to be there, you know, but there’s families and there’s little kids and grandmas and I’m standing outside the bathroom waiting to go and I really have to pee. I really have to pee. I really have to pee. And I realize that I should not wait for the bathroom. I should just do the awesome thing and pee in the diaper. So I do, but it’s way too much pee for the diaper and it starts to just crescendo down my legs and it was horrible and people saw it and I got a lot of scornful looks and so I got in the bathroom finally and changed the diaper and left the old one in the bathroom and had a great day. But I can still see the like really judgemental faces of many people as I just stood there and just peed in the open of a restaurant. It was pretty awesome though, in some ways, you know? Hey guys, any questions? I would like to add two more scornful looks to your story. Well, first of all, we have a picture from that day. Oh great. I can’t even tell which one you are. Oh, he’s the one with the wristband. You’re the one with the star on the shoulder? The one with the wristband and the star. Okay, so what year are we talking here? Not long enough ago to explain it. Yeah, like 2005. Okay. What, okay. So like, so the volume, so when you pee into an adult diaper, like what, at a certain point was it like, “No, this is the longest pee that’s ever peed in an adult diaper before?” And therefore like, what, you know what I’m saying? Like, in future when I’m gonna wear an adult diaper, I need to know like, what is the capacity of. That’s why that matters. – Yeah. Yeah, I’ve learned that that’s part of why they like advertise that part of it. ‘Cause you can usually over pee a diaper. Right, because at some point it absorbs and then at some point it can’t absorb anymore. Right. When did you. – You can’t just [Pasley] cut off a pee. Well yeah, you can. Well I mean scientifically. So. The moment it starts going down my leg in a restaurant is the moment I cut it off. It’s kinda like a latency, because like it’s not like the pee that just came out, is the pee running down my leg. Yeah, right. – It’s like overflow at that point. You can stop at that point, but it’s still gonna keep coming. So why stop? When you changed the diaper in the bathroom, did you lay down on one of those? No. Get your boys to help you out putting your knees up to your ears kind of thing. What did you do? Do you, you wore a soiled diaper the rest of the day? No, I changed it. He had another. We had extra diapers, we thought of that. I forgot that part. You had a changey. We had a whole bus full. Diaper bag. You’ve taken the cake. Jenna comes in second, then Tally Do you still talk to these friends? Some of them, yeah. Okay, they still talk to you. Yeah. Good for them. Yeah, it’s more of a one way conversation. Yeah, right. And they all work for us. Our party game, We’re still good! is now available in the same place you get all your mythical goods. Grab your copy of We’re still good! Now at mythical.com.
