GMMore 2350: How Much Does This Weigh?

Welcome to “Good Mythical More”. In a continued effort to hone all of our skills, we are now going to eyeball things and then compete to see who can more accurately guess how much they weigh. Ah, I’m so excited about this. I know you are. This is your, this is one of your things. But first, I’m excited about Boogie-ing Down Now! Just two guys in sweaters fanciful-ing, boogie-ing down. Man, I wanna take a modern dance class. So, Lucas, can you remove these, these items without us touching them and getting any sort of data on how much they weigh? You can leave Baby Secret. Modern dance is a great way to get in touch with your body. Modern dance. Modern dance. Modern dance. ‘Cause you make up your own rules. It’s modern. Okie dokie, Rhett. Can you give a little background on why you’re so excited? Why you’re so good at this? No, why you’re so excited about it. Ah, I don’t know, man. Some people’s brains are just wired in a way that they like to deal with certain types of information. It’s just like, you know, some people like being accountants, and that’s why there’s accountants in the world. Yeah. It’s like, “Hey, oh, gimme all your financial situation. I’ll tell you how to beat the tax man.” But didn’t you- “Woo, that gets me excited.” Not me personally, but weighing things, in another life- Or just, just- There’s another Rhett out there who’s weighing things. Guesstimating things, not just weight, but guesstimations are your jam. Is that something from, like, your family? Like, I seem to remember that- I come from a long line of, of weighers. When you would drive, just guesstimating, not just weighing. You would drive places, and your dad would be like, “How far do you think it is to that bridge?” Or was that just a you thing? That was just me. So I’d be riding with Rhett and he’d be like, “How far you think it is to that bridge?” I’d be like, “Well, the longer I wait, the shorter it is.” Good thing you had to say, you had to say, was it the time or the actual mileage based on the odometer? That would probably have to be the time. I don’t know, I don’t remember. I just know that it’s your thing. It’s not my thing. Well, but, I think that, first of all- Which is why I’m gonna give my answers first. At some point in the past, I think, now it’s kind of a useless thing at this point, because now it’s just for entertaining myself and maybe you on the internet, but in the past, being able to anticipate or guesstimate something would be like, “How far is that deer?” That kind of stuff was important. “I need to aim my bow that much higher because it’s that far away.” Like, that stuff- What about how far is that golf hole? So are you saying that you would’ve been a useless hunter? Yeah, you would’ve been. Oh yeah, definitely. Um so- You’re definitely a berry gatherer. Baby Secret. I’m not gonna, I’m just gonna pull the, well, I can’t pull the secret. Lucas, can you come pull the secret for us? Now- Sit her up and pull the secret. I gotcha. We’re gonna have to do a three two one, because we cannot influence one another’s answers. Can you tell me a story? Well- What, get her closer to the mic. Do you have whiteboards? Do you have whiteboards in front of you? I want to tell you something. We can maybe grab those. Let’s grab the whiteboards. Yeah, let’s grab whiteboards. Because the thing is, is like- Hold on, Stevie, she’s telling a secret! Oh, sorry, sorry! Shh. I like to sleep with you. “I would like to sleep with you?” “I like to sleep with you.” Yeah, okay. That’s what we were looking for. Um- I mean, I’ll just say my answer first, honestly. And I don’t think it’s going to impact you at all. Yes, it is. Yeah. Whiteboards, man. What I was gonna say is like, the- Different whiteboards. Estimation of weight below a pound, which I’m not saying has anything to do with the current item, but I am saying will come into play during this thing. That’s quite impressive to me. Like, how, how do you… Like, you can feel the, like, weight of ounces is what you’re claiming, Rhett? Yeah, so we’re trying to impress Stevie with this. Oh, yes. Prepare to be impressed. Okay. Why do I keep having to zero this out and then it… Take it back to ounces. Oh. Yeah, what unit do you wanna estimate her in? Kilograms? Kilograms? Pounds. Pound- Pounds and ounces. Pounds and ounces. Fluid ounces? We could blend her up. Pounds and ounces. I thought this was already determined. Milliliters? Grams? This was already set before. Kilograms? When they gave you this, it was zeroed out and set to pounds and ounces. Pounds and ounces. All right, without touching her- That was all unnecessary. Or sleeping with her, I am going to guess Honestly, I’m estimating her in reference to my dogs, which I know that Jade now weighs 10 pounds. She’s gained a little weight. Okay. She used to be nine-and-a-half pounds. And then, that Baby Secret weighs less than that. Her whole head is hollow. Don’t touch. Just to keep that in mind. Okay, what did you say? Two pounds, two ounces. I did, I did 1.3 pounds. Okay. So what’s a point three? Ooh. Let me see this. That would be about three ounce, or what, no. Okay. Three ounces, 16 ounce- You have to do like a, like blank pounds and blank ounces. Yeah, so you can’t say 1.3, but let’s just see. You can do the conversion- Like a real baby? We’ll do the conversion. We’ll do the conversion. I don’t need help. I’m gonna help you, though. Now her head’s off of the thing, dude. That’s not gonna work. Is it? Her head is- It’s one pound and 14 ounces. One pound, 13 ounces, one, 13.9 ounces. So it’s, so, one pound and 16 ounces would be two pounds, right? So I was about four ounces off. You were about- Yeah, what’s point three? You were about eight ounces off? I- Huh? Point three is 4.8. Yeah, so you were 13, 14 minus four. So you were about 11 ounces off. So I was 11 ounces off. And you were- Or nine ounces off. And I was four ounces off. Okay. So you got that one. Four pounds, eight ounces, Baby Secret! Wow! What, you want to tell us another one? I know a secret, do you? “I don’t need that from you?” No, she doesn’t. Listen, what’s that? “Let’s dance?” “Lemons are bad.” I can’t- Listen, what’s that? She’s gotten, over the years, she’s gotten less understandable. I know, she’s, where’s the speaker? You gotta- Why’d you say four pounds, eight ounces, Link? ‘Cause I wrote down 4.8. 4.8 ounces. 4.8 ounces, one pound, 4.8 ounces. Yeah. Not 4.8. And then you somehow zeroed it. So zero it again. There you go. Let’s weigh more stuff. I can’t hear her! You can take her home with you. We got, there’s, we actually, we have multiple Baby Secrets. Don’t tell anybody. I didn’t know that until I went to the art department, I saw, like, three of ’em. All right, so what’s the next one? A pencil. Oh, a pencil. God, just in ounces? Well, you want to keep a pencil light, ’cause, you know, back in the day when people would do a lot of pencil work, they would, you wouldn’t want it to be too heavy. Back in the pencil work days. Pencil work, people, “pencil pushers” they called ’em. The pencil era. They would push pencils. Um… Hmm. Well, I, I don’t know, I don’t have a point of reference for anything that’s measured in ounces. I, the, that’s what I asked you at the top. You didn’t do- Well, there’s your answer. Yes I did! I said, “How do you have anything under a pound? Like, you have to measure a lot of these things in ounces. I’m not saying which things, but-” Well, what do you wanna do, grams? We don’t, got less knowledge about that. I don’t wanna do grams! That’s not what this is about! What is this about? Okay. What is this really about? All right. I just can’t measure ounces. Is this to humiliate me? I have an answer. Is that what this is about? It’s fun, man. Is this to humiliate me? I think you’re taking too long to be this bad at it, though. I think you should, like, if you’re this, you know, just, you know what, maybe if you just go with your instinct, you’ll- One ounce! I said 1.4 ounces. Point two ounces. No, it’s p- what? Yeah, that’s right. Point two ounces? Yeah. Wow, so, wow! So- Wow, color me wowed already. Five of those- So, I won that one. Would be one ounce, five times, 16. Whatever that is, I can’t do math anymore. Would be, that many pencils makes a pound, oh. See? You just, you didn’t think about it, and you got it, you got closer than me. That’s right. Oh, we have a bunch of bananas, Now you could be thinking like grocery stores, you know? Six. Six bananas, plus the sticker. Don’t think out loud, now. Don’t think out loud. Are you gonna listen to what I’m saying if I think out loud? Maybe. Really? I’m so flattered. ‘Cause are you trying, this way you’re able to measure, you’re able to estimate how much you’re spending at the store? How many bananas you’re willing to buy? I think they’re pretty dense. Okay. 3.8 ounces. Can you just say how many ounces instead of point… Oh, 3.8 ounces? Yeah. Okay, good. I said four pounds, nine ounces. Oh yeah. I forgot that these- So they’re two pounds- I forgot I could add pounds. Two pounds and 11, 11.4 ounces. 3.8 ounces is kinda- Yeah yeah, that’s like a quarter, that’s a quarter pound. That’s a quarter pound of bananas. That would be like a quarter pounder. Yeah. Well, so they’re actually not as heavy as I thought they were. I thought we had- They’re almost three pounds, and I went almost five pounds. I need to write down what everything is. Okay, so- Yeah. Make yourself a little map. Two pounds, how much? It’s gone. And then I remember that a pencil, so the bananas were two pounds and something. And then the pencil was- We’re weighing them separately? You are, yes. I’m really gonna- You know, I really appreciate how Lucas is walking out- Thank you. Each of the items. ‘Cause I think, for too long, what we’ve done is just put them on the desk and have you reach over to them. We can’t- No, no, no, no. No, no, we can’t touch ’em. Nine more. We can’t touch ’em, Stevie. Well- Because if I touch it, I’ll be like, I measure it. That’s the thing. If you, if, hey, All I’m saying is- If you let me touch these, I’m gonna get ’em right. I, no, I think from now on, whether or not you can touch something, Lucas does need to come out and walk things across the screen. Okay, all right. Mad Dog is- ‘Cause it adds an element that I did not know we were missing. Okay, so we’ve got regular and then we’ve got diet. Let’s go with regulars first. Well, I wonder if it’s 8.4 fluid ounces. Yeah, but fluid ounces has nothing to do with weight. That’s volume. Really? If you- Really? But if you knew how much water weighed… A fluid ounce. Oh god. It’s not that I’m dumb, it’s just that I don’t care to know. Hmm, yeah. Isn’t that, that’s a different thing, right? Yup. I just don’t know what the use case is. Exactly. Back to my original question you both missed, like- Fun! Well, I’m saying like, you know how Jade weighs 10 pounds. Yeah. And that’s useful information to you. Right. But- Yeah, but why do people go to triv- ‘Cause I love her. Why do you go to trivia night? Do you really need to know- I do not- What type of cancer Alex Trebek died of? Do you really need to know that? Wait, what’s the question for Davin? It was pancreatic. It was pancreatic! Do you really need to know that? No, but it’s fun to find that out. Davin, Davin knew that. See, Davin knew that. Well he was so close to it, being on “Wheel of Fortune.” Mhm. He was, like, two minutes away. One time slot away. Right. And by the way, Alex Trebek had a great sense of humor. So before you Trebekians get mad at me, he would’ve loved that joke. It’s very dry. But do you know how much he weighed? I can make another joke, but I won’t. Okay, let’s see. And then in parentheses, you can put how much you think that the sugar-free weighs. Okay. I think the three is one pound, 14 ounces. And then the sugar-free is one pound, 14 ounces. Oh, I didn’t weigh the other ones yet. But, I’m gonna knock one over. We’re pretty close on this. I said two pounds, four ounces. Okay, Lucas. You mean I can’t touch it at any time? We can touch it now. Look, we can touch it now. Yeah, we can touch it now. We can touch it now. We can touch it now! You can also touch it. It’s off. Oh, it’s off. We are wasting too much time. Okay, it’s zero. Now we’re at zero. Oh, Link! One pound, 12.8 ounces. 12.8 ounces. There you go, see? Now- That was pretty close. I’m gonna say that the diet ones weigh one pound, 12.8 ounces. Just going out on a limb. Dude, you, you’re a cheater. Oh. Oh! One pound, 11.8. 11.8 ounces. Yup. So the diet’s got less sugar in it, and apparently, sugar weighs more than water! So is that just- Does water- 9.2. If you put sugar in water, it does float to the bottom. 9.2. Drop to the bottom. Yeah. So, okay, there you go. 9.6. So a four ounce difference. 9.6. Ho, me. Point four ounce difference. Four ounce difference. Or point four ounce difference. Point four ounce difference. Point four ounce. Point four ounce difference. Yeah. So it is heavier. 9.6 ounces. 9.3. 9.2. Two, yeah. Point four. There we go. ‘Cause sugar! There’s your takeaway. But- Every Red Bull has four, point four ounces of sugar in it. Yeah, but no- Hold on, but if you- No, because there’s a artificial sweetener in it that also weighs- It probably doesn’t weigh that much. But it weighs less. But there is something there. So it’s not just the weight of sugar. Well let’s just look, how many grams of sugar? Let’s just see how close it is. So we have 27 grams of sugar. Somebody look up “how much do 27 grams of sugar weigh?” And we think it’s gonna be- “How much do-” “How much does 27 grams of sugar-” Okay, Lucas, you can bring in the other one. “Weigh, in ounces.” No, “in ounces.” How much does 27, 27 grams to ounces. What’s the conversion? 0.95? Okay, right. So that means that the sweetener is about half as weighty as the sugar. I don’t know what that is. Link, this is the next thing that we are weighing is a mug. Oh. The old mug. That’s a new mug. Don’t touch your old mug, your new mug for reference. Aw. It is an empty mug. These are just two guys weighing imaginary mugs. Don’t get any ideas. Oh, you were doing that too? Don’t get any ideas. Oh, god. Are you, are you weighing them next to your dog? Is that what you’re still doing? No, I’m just, I’m feeling it in my hand. Compared to what? Three Red Bulls. Good technique. It’s called the Reference Technique. Um… Really, I’m really trying. Okay. Oh, wait, sorry. I meant, I forgot how many. Okay. 13 ounces. Ooh, I said 13.4 ounces. Ooh, this is gonna be close. 13.5! 13.5! Hey, guys. You zeroed in, man. We are, we are getting better and better. Wow. Hey, is that not impressive? Wow. Yeah, the fact that- Is that not impressive? Okay, so, there’s a practical application there, because you use mugs every day. And so maybe you should know- You wanna know about the arm weight. How much it weighs. Know that arm weight. The practical application is when the world ends, and things like scales run out our batteries, and y’all need somebody to tell you how much stuff weighs… Hmm. Right. “Bring in the weigher!” Actually bring in, bring in the pin. We wanna give you a heads up. Oh. You know, we’ve been doing the Mythical Pin of the Month program. Every month we have a new pin design, and then there’s only a 24-hour period where you can actually buy the pin. Mhm. So we’re giving you the heads up. Our March pin is right here. Rhett’s gonna tell you all about it. It’s launching on Monday, March 20th. Yes. So this coming Monday, you’ll have 24 hours to secure this pin. Here’s your heads up, right now. It is me as a bean.

How much do you think they- Hey, secretary! Oh, hey! If you have a secretary. We’re being beeped. We’re being- I don’t remember what that is. You can go ahead and set that down. But- What is it? I would like to weigh our pin. All right, let’s weigh the pin. And I’m actually holding it. I’m actually holding it. Point eight ounces. Oz, I call it. Point six. Point three! Point three. Dang. Point three. What is this again? I don’t remember what this is. This is a- Can’t pick it up. Ah, disqualified. Oh. I’m out, I’m out. All right, all right. I’m out, I’m out, I’m out. It’s over. I’m out. Episode’s actually over. Hold on- You killed it. But, hold on, but I think that it was exactly 1.2, one pounds, two ounces. Nope. Put it on there. One pound, two ounces. Nope, nope. There’s consequences! Just put it on there. It’s only five point… See, I didn’t have it here long enough. Keep your eyes peeled!
