Welcome to “Good Mythical MORE.” If you were presented with two things, could you tell which one was older? Can we? Oh, I’m intrigued. But first, let’s donate $1,000 to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, to aid in their mission to prevent, and end homelessness in the United States. Yes. Please join us in giving@endhomelessness.org Thank you for being your mythical best. All right. Stevie, “The Master of Ages.” Yes, it’s me. Knows the ages of things. It is I. Well, I’ll let you know. What is old, really? The older we get, the younger other things seem. Right. 45 is the new 25, that’s what I say. Yeah. I dropped a ball into my drink. Oh, I wonder how that happened? And you know what? I think it made both of them better. Made this chocolate a little softer. I was not anywhere near it. That’s why- You’re velcome. That’s why I haven’t batted. You’re velcome. I gotta go to the battin’ cage. I want to apologize for how long it took me to do that. I used to be quite a slugger, they called me. You’re forgiven. “He’s a slugger” is what they called me. You’re forgiven. Okay, two old things. Which is older? Okay. State of Hawaii- Okay. Or “The Beatles?” The bagels. So, “The Beatles” came on the scene in the late ’60s, right? Well, maybe ’64? Maybe. Yeah, oh yeah, probably. But, they started earlier than that. They probably started in like ’61. A thousand hours. It took ’em a few years to get going. Ten thousand. Ten thousand. Yep. Ten thousand hours. And, uh- Cut the first remark out. Yeah, cut my lack of hourly knowledge out. This is denesable, man. Ten thousand hours. Hawaii? Hawaii was in the ’60s, too. It’s close. It might be the ’50s. Nope. I am going to say that, Hawaii is younger. “The Beatles” are older. “The Beatles” formed in 1961. I’m going to say- And Hawaii was formed in 1965. The US obviously had the base there already in 1942, which was precursor to our imperialist takeover of Hawaii. How long did it take for that to come full circle? I think Hawaii is older by just a couple years. Oh. Oh. He disagrees, Stevie, with me. “The Beatles” formed in Liverpool in 1960, but Hawaii became a state in 1959. Ooh. Ooh, you got him. Got him. 1959? [Stevie] Yeah. 1959. That was impressive, both of you. I mean, you were around the same area. I’m impressed by how you narrowed that down. Well, you know what? We may look 25, but we’re 45, and- I’m not. Well, you will be soon. And so we know a lot about those olden days. Okay, let’s go real. All the way old. All the way old. “The Mona Lisa” or “Romeo and Juliet?” Yeah. Okay. I’m outta my depth now. Well- We’re talking about art. I kind of built you up- And Shakespeare. For that first round. Well, but okay, so we know we’re talking, da Vinci and Shakespeare. And the question is, were da Vinci and Shakespeare contemporaries? I think they were blokes. I think they were buddies. I think they were cohorts. Because Shakespeare we’re talking, I’m gonna show my ignorance here. I went- Sorry, Harnett County Schools, but I’m about to throw you under the bus. We have a public education from Harnett County schools. So- Well, but also, don’t you think- I was talking to Cassie about this the other day. Some of the stuff that you learned in school, you had a flashcard for, you had a test for, but then it just leaves your head. You don’t have all that room to know when Shakespeare was writing his stuff. I think Shakespeare was the 1600’s. I think da Vinci was the 1500’s. I think da Vinci’s older. I think “Mona Lisa” is older. That’s what I had no clue of dates, but I was gonna say that- [Stevie] the painting was older. I never really got into that Shakespeare. Now, if his name was Shakes-rear. Yeah, yeah. Right. Totally different story. Totally different thing that could’ve- That could’ve been your DJ name. I would’ve gotten outta bed for that. That could’ve been your DJ name. Shakes-rear. Shakes-rear. Okay. Add another parenthesis. The Baldy Shakespeare. I think you need to apologize to Harnett County, because you’re pretty on the money. “Romeo and Juliet” is believed- 1500? 1600? To have been written between 1591 and 1595 and was first published in 1597. Okay. “Mona Lisa” was believed to have been painted between 1503 and 1506, although da Vinci may have continued working on it, as late as 1517. Well, there you go. Now- So, he may have worked on it like a decade later? He may have. He just kept going back to it? And you know, it’s only the size of a baseball card? That’s the weird thing. It’s only this big. It’s not big, but it ain’t that small. It’s smaller than you think. If you can see it. In the Louvre, is it in the Louvre? No, it’s in that guy’s house. It’s in the Glass Onion. And they got this- Don’t spoil it. Yeah, cut that out. Cut that out. Were you gonna say something? What was that for? Nope. Is that Shakes-rear’s theme song? Wasn’t gonna say anything. Wasn’t gonna say anything. Okay, well you didn’t. And I didn’t. Nutella or kitty litter? Also- Hazelnut spread. Kitty litter- Kitty Litter, the artist? It was a band name, but it was the first commercially available cat litter just to give you a- Commercially available cat litter? Yeah. Yeah. So, you’re telling me that up until relatively recently people were just letting cats, what were they doing? Probably outside? You send your cats outside? In the barn? Yeah, house cats didn’t exist before kitty litter. Do those like feral cats that you let inside your house, Whatever you call that, inside-outside cats. – They’re not feral cats that you let inside your house. Slightly feral. What? Feral-liked cats. Do they know to crap outside without training cuz I know you can’t really train a cat. Are they just smart and they just know I’m not gonna do it in here? I think you also can, I mean, there’s cats that go in the toilet. How that happens, I don’t know. You can’t train a cat to go in the toilet. But you don’t have to, because they know better. What to, not crap inside? They go on soil, so they’ll go in plants. We learn and sometimes they’ll go in luggage that’s in the back of your closet. And then for like five or six days, you’re like, what’s that stink? What’s that smell? It’s like sour and meaty. Okay. And then you find it, and the cat’s just in there again, just like pee-peeing in your luggage. There’s no soil in my luggage. Maybe you should put some in there? Chocolate is a much more recent innovation than anyone realizes, right? It’s literally like, they weren’t making chocolate until like last 200 years or something crazy. I don’t know what it is, but- What’s the other one? But, then you gotta come up with chocolate- Oh, kitty litter. Then, you gotta put hazelnut in it. And this is probably happening, definitely, what in Switzerland, Germany, wherever Nutella is from. And then kitty litter’s like something that you have to care enough about a pet to think that you need. Oh these are actually pretty close. What’s coalescing in my mind is that these are like 20 years apart. Oh, you know what? It wasn’t just, it probably used like newspaper clippings or like, what’s the hamster’s- Cedar chips. I think surprisingly, Nutella, is older. What year are you saying? I think Nutella is from 1890s. All right, are you gonna shuffle? And I think that kitty litter is from the 1920s. 1890s, Nutella? You would not, it’s old, it’s European. Under my Nut-ella-ella-ella It’s a song. 1890s, 1920s. I’m not big into saying years. But, sometimes you will go “mumumumumumumumumumum”. Sometimes you will do that though. No, it’s more like “ummmmmmmmmmmmmumumumumumum”. Okay, that’s different. Sorry. Sorry, I misrepresented you. Kitty litter is older. It has to be. But no years? It’s not, but it’s not clumpable. Okay. Nutella was first released in Italy in 1964. Oh wow, it’s so new. Kitty litter- Before that. First commercially available cat litter in the US was released in 1947. Oh, so old. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I, hey, I did say they were about 20 years apart. So I’ll take that to the bank and cash it. Cash it. Cash it. Spice Girls- Or? Or Beanie Babies? Ooh, okay. Beanie Babies. Spice Girls, 2000? Try again, Fran. You think ’90s? ’90s. They’re like- ’98? Quintessential ’90s. Spice Girls is- Well, I mean- ’96. NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, that era was, yeah you’re right. Spice Girls was ’96. ’98. And Beanie Babies- I think it’s ’98. I think it’s ’89. Beanie Babies gotta be just in the 80’s. Beanie Babies definitely the 80’s. Just in the 80’s though. 89. It’s toight. It’s real toight, but Spice Girls, 1994. Ooh. 94!? And Beanie Babies, 1993. Oh, ooh. So, we were right, but they’re both in the ’90s. ’90s, dang. I thought it was ’80s. Can you believe that? 1994, that means the Spice Girls were doing their thing. They were telling us “what they want, what they really, really want”, when we were sophomores. Sophomores in high school. I don’t remember that. Oh, I remember it. I was not, I didn’t give a care for them back then. I didn’t. But, I’m a big supporter now. Okay, I cared quite a bit. Mm.

The Ford Bronco- Okay. Or the Moon landing? Moon landing. How could the Ford Bronco be in the ’60s? Moon landing is ’69. Well hold on. Yeah, The classic Ford Bronco. The original Ford Bronco is ’70s. It might be ’60s? You think it’s ’70s? ’70 and Moon landing is ’69. They’re like one year apart. I’m really having a hard time picturing the classic Ford Bronco. I’m getting it confused with- Hold on. The classic Land Cruiser, but it’s definitely a ’70s thing. Yeah, but it could be- I love the classic Ford Bronco. You know who has one is- You do? What? You love it? Oh no. I think Mamory has a- A classic Ford Bronco? A classic OG. Yeah. Huh. The Bronco II, you’ve seen that? That’s smaller. Mm. I think the new ones are cute, but nothing like the old ones. If you get the one with the big wheels. [Unknown Speaker] The real Bronco, the Bronco Sport. The Bronco support is kind of like, ey-yeah-yeah, come on. Not the Bronco Sport. Yeah, you don’t want that. That’s not a real Bronco. Yeah. That’s not a real Bronco. You’re right. Moon landing, of course, 1969. Ford Bronco came out in ’65. Oh no so let’s see the first ’65 Broncos. Oh, that’s gotta be amazing looking. I bet you, you can get one. Could you imagine? Oh, that’s cool. Get one of those like refurbished, man. That’s cool. The ones in the ’80s look awesome. I always see the ads for the OG Ford Bronco that they took the engine out of and made electric and it’s amazing looking. Yeah. And then also electric and you’re like, ugh. Yeah. They’re so great. So you actually, you want one of those. I want one of those. I wonder how much they charge for one of those? It’s like $200,000. Yeah, that’s great. And it’s not safe. That’s great. Because it still is a ’60s. But, it’s big. It’s got no headrest or whatever you call that thing. But it’s chunky, it’s a chunky boy. You don’t want that though. You actually want cars that give because the reason you die in a car accident is because your internal organs hit your skeleton. Okay, but when you die, you look really freaking cool. That is true. Yeah. She died doing what she loves. Ill. Driving a Bronco. Your organs like hit your- Yeah. That’s why they made every car so scrunchy cuz they kept learning through- Momentum. That, oh if we just increase the amount of time that it takes you to stop, your body to stop moving by a fraction of a second, we will exponentially increase the survival statistics. It’s making me uncomfortable. It’s making me think about my shoulder. That’s why basically nowadays you can’t when we were growing up, like my dad’s car. He had a Caprice Classic and the bumper on it was a bumper. It was metal; it was hard. And it had a rubber strip on it. And it was made for literally bumping other cars. You’re parking, you’re kinda like working your way in there. You can hit other cars all the time, and everybody’s bumper was approximately the same height. It’s like boom, boom, boom, boom. And then they, and nowadays, you barely touch somebody and it’s like two grand to get it fixed, you know? But it’s all for the greater good. It’s all for the greater good. A little crumple. A little crumple goes a long way. I never hurt anybody. Okay. Just one more. I have to do this one. Pop-Tarts or Kool-Aid? I’m saying Kool-Aid. That’s my gut reaction. It just seems so classic. Kool-Aid is old, that is for sure. I think you’re right. Pop-tarts is so hard to, they’re harder to make. You gotta get that filling in there somehow. I mean that’s, you got- Okay. What do you think the gap is? Kool-Aid is ’60s. 15 years. Kool-Aid is- I think Pop-tarts maybe ’80s. No. I think it’s a big gap. Kool-Aid is 1958 and Pop-tarts are 1973. Pop-tarts were 1963, and Kool-Aid, 1927. Whoa! Cuz it’s just powder. Yeah. Sugar and flavors. You know what? They probably developed it for the first World War. Actually a man named, Edwin Perkins, developed it. It’s probably based on like, oh we’ve got- Stevie knows the answer. No, but I’m saying the Edward got it from the war. He got it from his mother’s kitchen, is what this says. But, his mother was a war general. Yeah, that’s right. She was supplying the troops with powdered powder juice.
