GMMore 2346: Catch The Fish With Grandad (Game)

Welcome to Good Mythical More. Let’s talk fried fish, fast food sandwiches, and play catch the- Fish with grandad. It’s been a while since we played that, man. You ready? You ready? Oh. Maybe not. Maybe not. But first let’s check our voicemail. Okay. Hear me out. A whole good mythical morning episode, but it’s just David Hill miming. I mean not to give you a million dollar idea but I’ll be waiting for it. David Hill miming. Yeah. Are we even there? No. I don’t even think we’re even there. No. We’re out getting us ourselves a fish sandwich somewhere. Yeah, we are. All right, we’ll take it into account. So you gotta brush your loser teeth with tartar sauce. I thought you’d won, man. Let me tell you right now. I thought I’d won. But it turns out, um, okay. Could you go through what they were? Yeah. Which ones I got right? Okay. Well for reminder, for the first three, you guessed Burger King. Yeah. Ugh. Sounds like I got one of them right. But here’s the thing. The first one was Burger King. Oh dang it. I could have just moved on for Burger King. Yeah. Well, okay, so the one that you collectively- That’s Burger King. Hated the most was from Arby’s. That was the second one. Was from Arby’s. Oh, the long one? Yeah. But then- It’s interesting cause Burger King copies McDonald’s by doing a square fish. Yeah ’cause what, look this is, what is Arby’s doin’? Going big. Arby’s has some big, some good stuff usually. And then another surprise. Well, I mean, to be fair, I haven’t had, the only one of these I’ve had is from McDonald’s. I don’t think it’s bad. But that was the one that you rated the second lowest- Yeah. Was the one from McDonald’s. You rated Burger King higher. Half a cheese I liked Burger King’s all right. And the Wendy’s I can see has cheese on it too. Wendy’s came in second place. So you liked Popeye’s a lot and then you liked Wendy’s after that. Look at the flavoring on that Popeye’s. The breading has so much spice in it. And the pickle. I knew immediately and that potato bun. Yeah, Yeah. So you had had Popeye’s fish sandwiches before? It’s just the same treatment that they do with the chicken. Mhm. I think I’ve had it once before, but then I realize why am I not eating the chicken sandwich? The breading is coming from the same place. And then the third one that you liked the best, I feel like you were being generous at the end maybe ’cause it was Carl’s Jr. Which is the last one. And that’s the one where Rhett you were like, “This is not good.” So I don’t know. Is Carl’s Jr. better than Burger King and McDonald’s and Arby’s? I thought Carl’s Jr. would do a good sandwich. Well at least we’re very clear on what we like the best. I’m wondering if I would like to add a slice of cheese to my Popeye’s fish sandwich. They don’t let you do that, I tried. They kick you out of the store. No, that’s not true. Can you add a slice of cheese to the chicken sandwich? Probably can. I mean, they’re not gonna tell you no. Can you? It’d be fun. Is that typical? I like a slice of cheese on a hot chicken sandwich. Yeah, I don’t think they have cheese. When you eat a hot chicken, do you do it that way? You add the cheese? Yeah. Well, it depends on if I’m at a place that- Pushes it? Yeah, ’cause I usually just say number whatever. But I think a couple places in town. I like cheese on a hot chicken sandwich. They’ll put the cheese on there as a default. Or a hot fish sandwich. Yep. I don’t think that Popeye’s has cheese. Because the reason the other places have cheese is, you know the burger situation. Right. Well. So we need to do some stretching. We gotta figure out some stretching for catch the fish with grandad. ‘Cause last time we played catch the fish with grandad, you had an unbroken shoulder and now you’ve broken and healed. Right. I’ve taken my ring off. Maybe it’s like that baseball movie And you’ll be stronger now. Like bionic. Yeah. I think my collarbone is fortified. You’re removing the rings. Oh, this makes it seem serious. Like this is no longer a game. This is, we’re like sports. Well it’s kind of like the uh, you know, the thing, what they’re doing these days, the slap, I mean the slapping on the internet is a big deal now. I have a hard time watching that. Oh I love it. It’s just so violent. It’s brutal if they’re really good at it. It’s brutal dude. Who’s first? You know what? You the grandad first ’cause you’re older. I’m actually concerned about my shoulder now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on. But that’s like, you did a lot. I mean, I don’t feel like you should be able to do so many claps and you’re also getting into my space a little bit. I think you gotta reach. You can’t be crowdin’. You can’t be crowdin’ this space. You gotta be. See I feel like, not that we need rules, but I feel like. Well if it’s gonna be a sport. Well here’s what I’m saying. What I’m saying is that I feel like that was an attempt. Olympic sport, man. In a turn, I get three attempts or maybe I get one attempt. Lemme try three, I’ll try three attempts and you get away from me three times and I can’t do that. It’s like one attempt and then you gotta reset. Second attempt. Reset. Third attempt. Reset. So we are codifying this. We are codifying. No, I’m not saying- No. I like this. You like it? I like it. We’re codifying catch the fish with grandad so everybody can play it. But I may have made it too hard And I gotta have my hands on my lap before I do the. See it’s hard! It’s hard if you do that. Okay. Too hard. All right, so I did three and I didn’t get it so now it’s your turn. So you want me to put my hands on- On your, this may make it too hard. I don’t know. So you gotta put your hands- It’s too far. I wanna keep my hands right here. Do one full turn the way that I suggested. Okay, okay. If it’s too hard we’ll readjust. Can I go left hand? How slow is that? I was like- Well, but also I feel like I cheated ’cause I drew my hand back. Yeah, it’s gotta- It’s gotta stay in the corridor. It’s gotta stay in the same column It’s gotta stay in the- Fish column. The fish column. There’s a fish column. You’re reaching too far. You’re grabbing, you’re literally slapping me over here. Just for your own sake. I think you need to grab my hand ’cause hand’s bigger. Okay, well I’m not looking at the hand, I’m looking at your chest. That’s the technique. Oh. I got it. Okay. I got it. You got it. But I didn’t- But you didn’t catch it. Is it possible to catch it and hold it? So like if you grabbed it and I would just, and then if you catch it, I gotta go limp so you can catch it. So it’s kind of like when you’re doing thumb wrestling and you have to count to three? The thing is is that I could pull my hand away from you so easy, you know? That was so, I lured you into it. You did. Okay that, okay, that feels like you’re way outta the fish column. You’re outta the water. You can’t go above your opponent’s head. You can’t go above your opponent’s head. You went from not wanting to- No ’cause I could play short people and just eh. Okay so. We need a ref. Hold on. We need a ref. Chase, Come in here. Referee this. Okay. Chase, you sit right here. Have you been following along? So. So I got two more turns. One more turn. I think I’m following along. You can’t go above the water. You can’t go above your opponents head. This is the water line. Top of the head. The top of the head of the kid. Or whoever, yeah. Whoever’s playing the kid. The shorter person. And you have to stay in the fish column. You have to stay in the fish column. Do you have to flop the whole time? You have to, yeah. Because if you stop flopping. This isn’t that catch? That’s a dead fish no one wants to catch- You to catch a live fish. You might not flop for a half second. But that, you know. This could be very competitive. Oh yeah. I’m very excited. This could be the type of thing. This could take- It could be better than slapping. If we get it right. If it’s too competitive, I’m gonna be nervous refereeing this. This’ll be like wildfire man. Woo, just take over the world. People playing catch the fish with grandad in nations that I’ve never heard of. Now two things we need to figure out. Two things feel important if we’re gonna make this an official thing. Number one, you gotta know, is it catching it and holding it? Is that a catch? And then also, I don’t think it can be as many tries as you want. ‘Cause if you start going, just start going. I would just go like this until- Right, right, right, right. Until I got it. Right? You can’t, then it’s not fun. You get three attempts. Okay. And then, but the question is do you need to hold it? Got it! See but I let go. I stopped fighting. But yeah, I mean you went pretty hard. But see but that’s where the referee would be like, no, he got you, he got you. Like, so a solid hit. Like just hold it still. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. A solid hit is a- That then comes out? Yeah. I caught the fish. You caught it. I caught the fish. You dazed it to the point where it probably just went flacid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, here we go. I feel like we’re too close to each other ’cause I feel like you should be able to go between knees and head is the fish column. Yeah. My right hand gets tired fast. I still don’t know- I’m letting it wear out. He did not catch it. No, you can’t switch fish. That was cheating. That was cheating. Was that a catch? I think he got the fish ’cause you pulled it outta the fish column. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you pulled it outta the fish column. So that’s a catch. That’s right. That was a catch. So now it goes to the next guy. That’s outta the fish column. You gotta blow the whistle. You gotta blow a whistle. Well the ref didn’t call it. I got distracted ’cause he’s clicking. Your pearl buttons are clicking. I love it. I’m using echolocation to follow it. You’re going outta the fish column. It is hard to not look at the eyes of the person. Woo. I’m getting tired. See that? See I didn’t think he got it. I didn’t think he got it either. Fish outta water! No. That was close. Got it. You got it. Oh, you know what? But like, but but what are the, is it like a, if you are out of the column. Yeah. What, do you get like a- Is there a penalty? Yeah, a yellow card. Or like is it- I think you lose your turn. Is it like a foul? I think you lose your turn. Maybe the other person gets another, gets another attempt. Here’s something that- Hold on. Look, hold on. Look, Lucas has got an idea. Look, this is the things from, look at this. Let’s use the actual fish from the fish puppets. So, all right. And I want and I also want you to be the grandad. So I want you have to- Hey there, boy. When you’re the grandad, yeah, you gotta talk- You gon’ get my fish? You gotta talk to the boy. You gotta talk to the boy. Hey boy, you gon’ get my fish? Yeah grandad, thanks for having me over. Your feet are dancing. Oh! Look at that! Caught the fish! I got it! And it kind of feels like it was easier because this, right? Like it helped you grab it. But this is something that you can bring a little character to it. I feel like I’m gonna have to have do training because- All right. All right. Son, you ready to catch the fish? I’m your grandaddy. Okay there grandad. And I’m gonna see here, I’m gonna use my right hand ’cause I’m not, I’m not going. Are you doing this? Are you Spocking inside that thing? Yeah, I’m spocking. Just like that. Why is my heart going so fast already? Why does it stink? ‘Cause it’s a sport man! Why is is it so hard? Oh yeah, we need to center up. Hold on. We need to look better than this. Move back a little bit. It’s like the distance that you should be is if both of you place your hand out at a 90 degree, you’re in the fish column. See you’re not, you’re not close enough, okay. That’s the fish column. This is the fish column from here to your lap. Come on boy, see if you can catch the fish. You breathing deep? Come on, son. I got you a little fish. I got goin’, gonna take to the fryer. You gonna take it. Yeah! Yeah. You got it. All right, now we’re tied up. And this is good ’cause it’s got some like, there’s some friction on it. You ready to kiss this fish? I’m a grandma this time. Wasn’t flopping. Okay yeah, I think- Can you be a grandma? Can you make a whistle noise? Okay. We gonna need to work on that. But basically when the referee whistles, you gotta start flopping. That’s when it’s live. Quick little promo “Sporked” ranked best frozen fish so you can make your own fast food style fish sandwich from the comfort of your own home. Also they ranked frozen fried shrimp, the best of those. Wow. So head over to Sporked.com to see frozen fish and shrimps rankings. So Stevie, as you’re experiencing this- Yeah. Just imagine yourself scrolling through TikTok. Okay? So I want you to put yourself in the mind of someone scrolling TikTok. I know you like to do that. Yeah, yeah. And you come upon, and you be your grandad- Come on boy. Your grandaddy’s back visiting again and he brought his fish. Oh grandad. You wanna see if you can catch it? Why you always messing with me playing these mind games? Come on boy. See if you can do it. You gotta get your spry on. Get your spry going. You didn’t get it. You nicked him but you didn’t catch him. Yep, nope. There you go. Come on. Don’t pull him outta the fish column, grandad. Hey, that’s his job. Yeah, that is- He’s back there grinning. I was trying to whistle. What’s the fish column? Is the fish column to your chest? Could you go like this? Or is that- You guys said it was when your hands are 90 degrees. So I thought it was like- It’s like this- So like a fish length out of the fish column. Oh, okay. All right. Chase, you want to try? Stevie, you stop scrolling? Oh yeah, I’m here. Yeah and now you clicked on the channel. Yeah. Now I’m going live. Yeah, you’re on the profile. Oh, you’re going live. You gonna whistle? After he talks, grandaddy’s gotta invite his grandson to the game. How you doing? How you doing son? Grandson, you wanna go fishing with me? All you gotta do is catch that fish with your bare hand. Okay, grandad. That was close. Okay. Nope, nope, nope. Keep going. So I have to keep- No resting. No resting. I’m gonna get tired. Oh! Okay, that was good. You totally got it. You just didn’t grab hold of it. Yeah. So ref, did you see that? Wait, so, but in terms of points like what just happened there, you could technically have rounds. Like one grab of the kid could constitute like the close of a mini round and that point, because Chase missed, could go to grandpa. You know what I mean? Or are we only doing points for kid catching. Offense. I feel like catching the fish is a point. Okay. So there’s no, so. ‘Cause I feel like we need to formalize the resting periods here. Yeah, because here’s the thing. Okay, that’s true I’m envisioning. I kinda feel like- If it’s three attempts, no resting period. I kind of feel like if you start getting like really athletic, like people who are like, you know, play like a professional sport and they’re just looking for something to do. Yeah, like you get a bodybuilder versus like some spry little kid. And I think that whenever you’re holdin’ the fish you could have like a wrestling character persona. You could have a- But it’s gotta be a kid or a grandkid. You need to have a grandad persona. I think it’s more about the grandad persona. And you don’t necessarily have to use a kid voice. Not everybody’s comfortable with that. But like, you know how in boxing you start off and the ref is like, okay, this is the, okay, go for the round. And then at a certain period of time, that round is like- Scored. You know what I’m saying? Yeah. Well we were saying you have three attempts. And you can pause between each attempt? Nope, no pause in grandad. grandad, once he’s on there’s three attempts. But you have to reset by putting your hands on your thighs. So, but here’s the only thing that is a little bit wonky about that. Palms down. If I get Chase on the first try and he gets me on the third try we’re even? Well that’s baseball. Three strikes you’re out. Yeah. Just because you hit the first pitch over the fence doesn’t mean you get more points than the guy who hits the third pitch over the fence. Yeah, but it is called something when you get three, when you get the first one, when you get it on the first attempt, that’s called something. If you do three of those in a row, that’s called something else. Okay, so. Is there a certain amount of time that one round lasts? Kind of feels like if you- It has to happen in a certain amount of time. I’m just waiting for you to just get tired? Yeah, you can’t do that. So what’s a good length of time? Because ref’s gonna have a stopwatch. He’s gonna be like, go and there’s gonna be what? I mean what- A minute? Let’s just see what feels- Too long. Let’s see what feels right for like one go because there’s a reset at which point when we go to the reset, the clock has to start again. Okay. You know what I’m saying? Like, it has to be like- That’s what I mean, like, that’s why it feels like they’re like mini rounds because- Yes. ‘Cause also you have to make sure that everyone is starting from the right place and there’s yeah, a timing element. But it happens continuously. Well, let’s just play naturally for a second. Let’s see about how long it takes before it feels like. Can you get your watch out? Get your phone out and you like, oh yeah. Look, we got- Mikayla. Come over here, time this. So we have a ref and a timer. All right. So here we go. You can stand. Oh. You don’t have to sit. That’s fine. Timer has to stand. And I think everybody should wear a sweatsuit that’s all one color. Obviously. Okay, here we go When you’re. You can be a grandad later and that could be your outfit. Okay. All right here we go. You just say go? It was almost out of the column. See you’re pulling back. Wait, wait, wait, wait. There’s some standing out of the chair. There’s some standing out of chair. Yeah, yeah, the butt’s gotta stay down. Butt’s gotta stay down and I can’t do that, I can’t pull it out of the column. Okay. So that’s technically his third one. That was three. Because he pulled out the column. Okay, okay. Fish man. That was about a 15 second round. 15 second for all three, for each attempt? For each attempt. So here’s what I’ll say as a former high school athlete, I think that you shouldn’t have to do the grandad talking while you’re doing it. Yeah I think that happens in between. Yeah. Now you come out, you’re like, here’s me as the grandad. Yeah, that’s for like- And then once you’re playing, I’m in the zone. I’m not being a grandad anymore. How’s that sound, Stevie? Or maybe like it’s a wrestling thing, I do feel like there’s a formal intro period where you’re each coming to your chair and you have to- You might have a speech. Yeah, maybe have a theme song. So you walk in your grandad, you walk in, you introduce yourself. And I go out? No, you’re just here. For now. I mean, you know, come on. Introducing our first grandad. What’s up fellas? You gonna catch some fish with grandad? Are you ready to catch the fish sonny? Yeah, I’m so ready grandad! When’s the last time you caught a fish with me? I don’t know, a couple of seconds ago. It’s gonna happen again. You ready? He doesn’t remember last time he played with you. See, you kind of have an advantage when you’re playing against me the fish column is my height for you. That’s true. The fish column for me is your height. So I’m saying you can go to my head, I can go to your head. I need to remember that. Okay, here we go. And he is hunched over too. Okay. All right. Get it into the column. Hands on the knees. That’s for- Just for me. Oh, you exited the column. That was a pullout. So what happens on a pullout? All right he gets- No kids. Is that a penalty? Is it a penalty? It’s a point penalty. I don’t think it’s point penalty. How would you penalize him though? I think you get another- Attempt? How about this? That’s like the foul card thing that like, yeah. It’s a foul. Yeah one foul per three, we’ll call this a round. When you have three slaps in a round. Okay. So you’ve used up your- So if we do it again, we just swap or- Yeah, you give up. I think you give up, you swap. ‘Cause you can’t score points unless you’re the kid. Got it. Got it. Oh! That’s a miss. That was good. That was good. Now you left the column, but it was after the grab. So you’re totally fine. He dodged it. Okay, but see this natural stop down that’s happening? Do we need to formalize this situation or you know? Yeah. You seem to have something in mind. I think so. That’s what I’ve been feeling is that once there’s a go, there’s like, okay, a little reset. Yeah. ‘Cause it’s like the slap and then the whoa and then- ‘Cause also like let’s say Mikayla is on Chase’s team and he needs a pep talk. He needs a pep talk and he needs water squirted into his mouth. Of course, of course. And like that, it needs to happen. ‘Cause in the world championships when there’s money on the line. Yeah. It’s gonna get down to like, okay, here we go. Last chance. Last chance to win, you know? So there’s a little reset. So we actually need the mini rounds to last like, I would say no more than 20 seconds. [Link and Mikayla] Yeah. Right now we’re at 13. We were 14. So now you’ll reset it. Yeah. Ah! Dang it! He has escaped. He has one more attempt. Would you like some water squirted in your mouth? No, but a pep talk would be nice. Look, don’t embarrass me. All right. You got it. This is for it all. Ah! Dang! Oh, that grandad! You’ve gotten good at it, man. Chase is really good. Try it, try it, try it. Rhett, you’re out of here. What is your grandpa character, Chase? It’s kind of changed a little bit as I forgot what I did the first time, but- What’s his name? My grandad’s name is uh, Marty. Mike? Marty. Like Marty, but- Oh, okay. All right, grandad Marty. Grandpa Marty, Grandpa Marty. Grandpa Marty. Winning. Woo, I just got nervous. Ah, so you’re the kid right now. I’m the kid. Ooh. Okay. Reassure the kid. The kid is nervous. Marty, you need to reassure. No touching. That’s against the rules. I know you were a little nervous to be with Grandpa Marty when we go fishing, but I’m not gonna rock the boat too much and afterwards we gonna go and we gonna have a nice McDonald’s treat. Can we get ice cream? It’s a little Adam Sandler-ish. But that’s what I like about it. All right, Mikayla, you gotta have hands on knees. Okay, hands on knees. Okay. Or thighs. Yeah, thighs, yeah. I’m nervous, woo. And I do think- I’m about to throw up. Let her reach out and touch the fish right now so she’ll know what it feels like. Know what the fish feels like. Okay. All right and then hands down. One with the fish. Okay. Okay. We started. It’s begun. That was late. Thank you. That was only five seconds in. That was late. That was only five seconds, okay, okay. Okay, here we go. Woo, woo, it’s looking at me. Staring at me. You doing the whistle? Yeah. I’m ready. Oh! Ow! Yeah, we can’t be next to a desk. Yeah. There’s no desk. We need space, I’m a circular grabber. Okay. All right. Two attempts down. This is her final attempt. It’s hard work, isn’t it? It’s so hard. Yeah, I know. I feel like pockets of sweat coming, like- It’s crazy how hard it is. Heart is beating fast. It’s looking at me. It’s like tormenting me. That was almost, I touched it. You didn’t get. I touched it. All right, switch up. Switch? Switch up. You’re the grandad now. I’m the grandad. Wait, no, we need an intro. We need a- Yeah, we need Mikayla to walk in. Okay. Now are we doing, everyone’s a grandad? You can be a grandma. I think everyone could be a grandad. I don’t mind being grandad, I can be either. Okay. It’s up to you. But you could be either. But we’re calling it catch a fish with grandad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you do need to have a name. Oh, okay. Okay. Hi everybody. I’m Rick. Hi Rick. I’m a cool slutty grandad. The cool slutty grandad. Yes. You’re single? Yeah. Absolutely. Ready to dingle? Ready to dingle and mingle. Let me touch the fish, slutty grandad Rick. Touch the fish. Touch the. That’s like bowing at the beginning of a karate match. I’m the cool slutty grandad. Touch my fish. His name is Rick. Good. Good. I like that. Okay. She’s got a fast fish. She’s a fast fish. Oh! He caught it. Chase, hey Chase. You’re good at offense. Well no, no, but there was a butt lift. There was a butt lift. I mean not to- Sorry, I didn’t catch that. There was a lift. That means that does not count You need to slide in a little bit, Mikayla. In? Okay. Closer to Marty. Rick and Marty. Oh! That’s a wrist. That’s a wrist. That’s fine, though. What does that mean? I think it counts. Okay. Wrist is part of the fish. So now he’s going- He’s going for three for three. Here’s one thing that I’m noticing right now, right? So it feels like there should be a little double whistle. So there’s a whistle to start the fish moving and then there’s a whistle at which point the fish can be grabbed because if there’s one whistle, I’m just gonna grab the fish as soon as the whistle blows You know what I’m saying? So it’s like beep and then like one second later. So you start on the first whistle. The second whistle is when we’re in play. And this is it right here. This is for bragging rights to be the first three for. I don’t know which hand to do it on. You can switch. You don’t have to- Can we switch hands? Yeah, you can switch in the middle of a round. Okay. Boy, she got a crazy fish. Go for a clean sweep. Oh! He didn’t get it! That’s the kind of drama you get with catch the fish with grandad. Yeah!
