Welcome to “Good Mythical MORE” I just touched my eye and I got a little bit of pork in it. Yeah. But it didn’t burn. That’s good. And now, I keep touching it. You want pork eye, not pink eye. I got the pork eye, man. Stay away. Stay away unless you want a little . Guys, pork eye is definitely something on Urban Dictionary. I looked for you over there and you were gone. What? You see that? Man, that would be nice. It’d be nice if she was over there but I can’t see her again. She gone, she’s back in her spot. Okay. She’s back in that Lavine. Tell them what we’re gonna before chair. Welcome to “Good Mythical MORE” This is where you just can’t get enough of us. That was uncomfortable. What was it really… Sport. Weird Sport. Sport. Mash the state. Yep. To the weird sport. We’re gonna mash a weird sport to the state where it’s… Put something. But first we’re gonna boogie down down now. ♪ Whoo, a bit too soon ♪ Hmm. So sad. So sad about that. So sad. Like completely sad. Like to the bone. Man. But how about that pork though? That was- Oh, good. Wow. Really good. Yeah. I was looking at the Porto’s website. I have written them on. Mm-hmm. You know what that is, Stevie? They’re back on the list. You know what that is when you… I’ve written ’em on. It’s the opposite of… Write ’em off. Writing ’em off. Mm, okay. Yeah. I mean, highly recommend. I also highly recommend Courage Bagels, but you didn’t even do anything with Courage Bagels, you just- I made a mental note to not do anything with that. I did the opposite of writing ’em on. I will also restate. You abandoned the house too. Those are not all my favorite foods. I had a lot of favorite foods. It’s just that we, you know, we’ve done several episodes of the subseries, so, we couldn’t hit some of the stuff. What are some of the other ones? Well, and then also- Wear it this way. There’s some that like, they don’t have as nice of a price point thing. So like, you know, there’s a Taiwanese chicken dish that I really… Chicken and rice dish that I like or dim sum, you know, a baked barbecue pork rolls and… You got this list somewhere? Can you send to me the list? Sushi. Yeah, I can. You got too many favorites. Send me the list. Yeah, and I have favorite restaurants for each. Anyway, that’s not what we’re talking about. It’s hat more. We’re talking about weird sports and the states that they come from. Starting with… Oh, look at that batter. Cardboard tube fighting. It’s played when cardboard tube fighters go head to head in an attempt to break their opponent’s tube without breaking their own. This is fun. Like pencil fighting, but with tubes. I can hear it right now, even though I’ve never seen, heard or experienced it. I know the sound that it makes. That . Well, that’s if you got a real good tube. If you got a good tube. This has gotta be somewhere where they’ve got things that are wrapped around their tubes like… The tubes talk. Like wrapping paper, paper. So, we’re talking about someplace that’s doing a lot of like tubes like this, like a tube like this. You’re talking about carpet roll tubes? Yeah, just like that. Mm-hmm. I’m bringing my carpet roll tube to the party. This kind of tube. Is this… Midwest. This is a place that… I think this is North Carolina. I don’t know how we haven’t heard about it. How could we not know about that? Because it’s the furniture capital of the world and it’s the second… It’s the carpet capital of the Mid-South. Okay. You both need to go west. I said Midwest. I know. Oh. All west. Wait, it can’t be California. Or go west. It might mean Nevada. It might be. Go all the way up. Oh, it might be Montana, Idaho. Dakota. Go all the way west. Go all the way up. Washington. Washington. There you go. We have map in our minds. That’s pretty cool. Why are they- What was happening right there is we were both traversing an imaginary map in our minds. Well, it’s a real map. No, no, no. It’s actually- It’s the US map. Well, but it doesn’t exist, a map like- No, that does exist. You think it- It says United States at the top, then underneath- No, you think if you fly up in the air- It’s like a standard… You’re gonna see like the lines between the things. Well, no. It’s imaginary. But the map is real. These borders don’t exist, man. It’s all human agreement. It’s just an agreement. Human agreement? It’s just a human agreement. Yeah. I don’t agree though. It is, it’s conceptual. Even this country is not a real thing. It’s a concept, man. It’s a super position of conceptualization over top of terrain. Yeah. I agree with that. Cardboard tube fighting. Do we have footage of this? Was created in Seattle, Washington 2007 and the Cardboard Tube Fighting League CTFL. Oh, that’s close to something else. Is now a global organization that hosts cardboard tube based events in Seattle, San Francisco and Sydney, Australia. And they also have cardboard costumes and theatrics and looks like a look at a clip. Whoa. That guy had a technique. So, your tube is gonna get, it’s gonna… You don’t wanna hit too hard ’cause your tube- That guy needs to pull his britches up. Has he got his butt crack hanging out? Which one? The one with a green belt. But they weren’t even… I was looking at the tube, man. He wasn’t even trying to get his tube to break the other tube. I think he was using… Yeah, they were both hitting each other in the face. Hey, cancel my trip to Washington. Yeah, you’ve written them off. It does seem like you could get like that prime front row real estate though. The journalists over there too. Yeah, there’s photogs right there in the middle. You know, if you get on one knee with a camera, you’re doing it for somebody else. You know what I’m saying? You’re right. If you take a knee to take a photo… That picture’s not for you. You’re getting paid. Yeah. Okay, the next sport consists of events such as sprint races, volleyball, touch football, and sumo wrestling. All in the nude. That’s right, the Nude Beach Olympics. Where was it established? What if… No, Nude Beach Olympics. Or Florida. There’s a lot of beaches in Hawaii. It’s pretty much all beach, except for when you go inland. You can do nude stuff in Hawaii though. In fact, my- Where can you do the most nude stuff? My grandfather, well, he was my step-grandfather. Pop came home from a Hawaiian vacation. I know he did. And he broke up his pictures- All of his pictures. And we started going through the pictures and it was just pictures of topless ladies that he had taken in front of my grandma at the beach. Mm-mm. Learned a lot that day. Not to the topless lady’s part. Learned a lot that day about my grandpa, about old Pop. Hmm. Pop don’t like the top. Yeah, he does. Pop do like the top. He likes when the top’s off. Oh, Pop don’t like a top. So, I’m going with Florida. I am going to go with… Nude beaches, I mean, there’s… Might be like an island off the coast of Georgia. There’s one nude beach in Santa Cruz, California. Okay, so think in terms of… Lake. I mean, I’m gonna go out on whim and gonna say like, if there’s a population of people that look the best nude, this city holds an iconic amount of these people. Miami. You’re thinking in ish not… I’m talking about gay men and- Oh, Key West. No, no, no. Go west. San Francisco. There we go. Now, I haven’t seen the footage or anything. But we’re about to. I don’t think it is attractive gay men. We’re about to, do not get it confused with the tube fighting. No, we can’t. We can’t. Oh God. Yeah, just- All right, it’s a different clip. Just roll the same clip. This is not the tube fighting. We can’t show a clip. Let’s see it. Let’s see it. But Celine was gone shaking her head like, “No, this is not attractive gay men.” Oh no, I’m sorry. No, we don’t have a clip is what she meant. I don’t know, just Google it. Can we Google it? No, don’t Google it. I’ll put my hat a little bit to side. Oh, oh, oh. Aubrey saying, no, no, no, don’t Google it. Gosh, sorry. Just play the cardboard clip again. 1998. And we’re gonna act like we’re watching the… Is when it was created 1998, San Francisco and it happens every year. And they sumo. Oh my goodness. Look at what that guy’s doing with his tube. It’s like, oh man, his tube’s really bent. That tube bent right into that guy’s face. Oh my gosh, his- Over and over again. Right in his face. He’s just slapping him across the cheek with it. My goodness. It’s been that I thought it would be. I know there’s… And they have photogs. Oh, yeah, they do. They’ve taken a knee. You know what that means? Yeah, we have… The low angle. Mm-hmm. Yep. Having fun in the bay. Okay. Beer pong. That’s something we know. Where was it invented? Beer pong, where was beer pong… I would say it was Wisconsin. Milwaukee. Surprisingly, not. Surprisingly not. So, it does not a beer… It’s not a beer place. Not necessarily. It’s a more of a pong place. Boulder, Colorado. Coors, Coors. Is it a fun place or a… The Rocky, I think it’s the Rockies. It seems like it was at a college. So, there’s a college in this state. Yeah. All right. All right. Gimme a second. Okay, go and… I’m not anywhere. I can’t go anywhere. Okay. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I’m in California right now. Okay, okay. Well, go somewhere and then I’ll tell you where to go. Okay. Well, what did I say, Wisconsin? The last thing you said was Colorado. So, I can tell… We could start in Colorado. Virginia. Okay, both go north. DC. Pennsylvania. West Virginia. Keep going. Maine. No, too far. Too far, probably. Yeah. Vermont. You went too far too quick. New York. Jersey. You’re around it. Massachusetts, did I already say that? You’re around it? Vermont, Delaware, Connecticut. I don’t even know if you’re gonna guess this. I’ve lost the plot. What are we talking about? Rhode Island. Like now I’m looking at it, I’m thinking to myself, when was the last time I thought about this state existing as a state, really? New Hampshire. Connecticut. There you go. Hey, that’s the second time we’ve forgotten New Hampshire on this show. It’s the forgotten state. I’m telling you there’s another time when we’re naming all the states that started with new and we forgot Hampshire. I’m sorry, New Hampshire. That sounds right to me. Y’all gotta do something to make people remember you. No, this is on us. Hey, that’s where they invented beer pong in the 1950s. I mean, like lately. Like, I mean, like y’all did some stuff like back in the beginning of the country, yeah. But I’m saying like now, like, “Hey, like this decade in New Hampshire, do something, dammit.” You resting on your laurels. You gotta get out there and do a new pong. Okay, how about worm charming, which I feel like we’ve talked about before but I can’t recall when, why or where it was invented. But in this sport, people compete to see how many earth worms they can charm out of the ground. This is in the south. Somebody’s been doing this at my house when I’m not there. ‘Cause I’ve been coming home and there’s been charmed worms curled up on my- It’s the rain. My stones. Somebody. And then when the rain goes away, you know what happens? They dry up, they curl up and dry up and I have to… When I go out to my car and when I come in from my car, I’m kicking flat dried up worms into the lawn. Well, you know what they’re doing? They’re drowning in the dirt and trying to get to something else. And then they come outside and they’re still raining and then they die. Oh really? Yeah, yeah. They’re drowning. You got drowning worms, that’s what’s up. They’re not being charmed. Alabama. This is a southern state, southern state. No, this is… But where here. You know, this is the state known for its Pete Moss. It’s something like the, you know, the Spivey’s Corner Hollerin contest like they have in North Carolina. It just like… It’s like that. It’s in Alabama. I bet my life on it. Worm. Worm charm. Is it Alabama? No. Oh! Dang it. I gotta hurt myself. Okay. Louisiana. You’re both in the right area. Mississippi, Georgia, Arkansas. Think bigger. Texas. Yeah. Okay. Of course. Worm Charming. So many worms in… East Texas, as a skill and a profession, worm charming is now very rare with the art being passed through generations to ensure it survives. It’s important. This feels like the kind of thing we could forget and remember again without a problem. You know, this isn’t like passing on algebra. Hold on. To the next generation. You’re telling me just hearing about the concept of worm. I mean, yeah, I guess you did just do it without knowing anything about it. Yeah, yeah. I don’t think this has to be passed down. We reinvented worm charm. It’s not language. The lost art of worm charm has been reinvigorated by Rhett and Link. If you like us talking about stuff, listen to our podcast. And if you want to watch us talk, you can do that too. It’s on our Ear Biscuits YouTube channel or wherever you get your podcast. We’ll get into some stuff. Yeah, man. We’ll get into some stuff. Sometimes it gets pretty serious. I think it’s an important part of what we’re putting out into the world. And if you’ve never tried it out, give it a shot, Ear Biscuits. You can do it. You can do it. Yeah, you can do it. You can do it. Shovel racing. Shovel. They sit on a shovel and race down a snowy hill for time against other competitors. So, it’s like a sled. But it’s not a place that has a lot of snow, it’s a place that gets snow sometimes. Because it’s just like, “We don’t have sleds. What do we got? Shovels.” You know what I’m saying? No, I think you gotta have a lot of snow to start to figure out this could happen. And you gotta get really bored with what you’re gonna do with the snow before you start sitting down on a shovel. I think it’s a place that gets snow, but not a lot of snow. So, I’m thinking- I know you think that. Right around the border, West Virginia. Alaska. Well, it’s a state in which there are ski resorts that you wouldn’t think. Idaho. Okay, go south. I’d low. It’s a place that you’ve been- Utah. Stuck in the snow, Link. Ah, stuck in the snow. What do you mean I’ve been stuck in the snow? When have I been stuck in the snow? When you get stuck in the snow. When have I gotten stuck in the snow? Oh, years ago when you went to this place during sometime in the winter. South of Idaho. I got stuck in the snow Mm-hmm. Arizona. You can go over. But I… Oh, you did? I was confusing. I think I was… No, yeah. You were confusing me. ‘Cause you got stuck in Sedona, right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, go. But what’s the state that also would be like that? New Mexico. New Mexico. Yeah. That’s a new that we remember. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what, listen, New Mexico is constantly showing you things. Gets to show me state. It’s hard to forget, you know? What are they showing you in New Hampshire? We still invented beer pong. Yeah. So, hello? Like we don’t have much to show, but I mean… Hey, set up some cups, I’ll show you a little something. Come on, New Hampshire. Give it a program. So, it started in the seventies and it began after ski resort workers used shovels as sleds to quickly move from one location to another. And then they formalized it and the creator is Damien Deleon and he is unofficially credited as the king of shovel racing, and we have a clip. This is New Mexico? Yeah. Look at that fish right on your booty. Today is the world championship- Oh my God. Shovel racing. This is nice. Anything like what I thought it would be. I mean, whoa! They think can go up and hit you in the face. There’s so much that could go wrong and it’s a regular old shovel. The only thing that’s on my calendar at the beginning of every year. I feel you, man. Yeah, man. Priorities. Hey man, all I need is a shovel and a calendar. Dang. Okay, and finally. I would do that. I would. Unicycle basketball. ♪ You. ♪ Unicycle basketball? Yeah. Which is, you know, playing basketball. I can’t imagine. This sounds dorky. No, I bet, I know, I know. I bet you it’s real. It’s a real cool look. Are they singing acapella too? But they can all juggle, every one of ’em and every one of ’em knows at least four magic tricks. Oh, I saw people talk about juggling. This is all on topic. I saw a- Oh. I saw this… I saw the same thing. Is conflict juggling. No, the contact. Contact juggling. It was going around. Full contact juggling. You’re juggling and you’re- You’re fighting. You’re fighting, you’re trying to like, get the other person to lose their… But you’re both juggling. Their juggles? And fighting. Well, you’re not punching each other in the face, are you? You’re kind of… It’s like checks. It’s more like hockey checks. It’s not boxing from what I remember. Okay. When I see stuff like that, I keep scrolling, but I do remember a little bit of it. It’s a place that the circus has come- Pretty dorky. The circus has come through. Maybe it’s where the circus resides. Where’s that place where we went and we went- Circus doesn’t go through every state. They don’t go through New Hampshire. But the circus sets up shop somewhere. Remember we went and we toured. Didn’t we tour the circus? Where the circus stops, you mean? Where the circus started and stops and stays. Where the circus weathers the winters. Where the circus winters? Where’s that? It’s on the license plate of state. Wasn’t that me and you? Where the circus winters? Weren’t you with me? I vaguely know what you’re talking about, but I can’t really remember. I guess that was Wisconsin. I took a trip to Wisconsin without- But the place that’s got basketball and unicycles, Indiana? Vegas. It’s another new. I know I’m saying cities. I almost said New Dakota. New… York. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. And specifically, maybe Link you can shout out where in New York. Brooklyn. Yeah. Unicycle. 1960s creator Jerry L. King formed the Charles Riders, known today as the King Charles Troupe. And they actually perform with the Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus and here’s a clip. I’m already not interested. Okay, cut it. Cut it, cut it. We don’t need to see… Cut it. I don’t need you to see the basketball. Cut it. Cut it. Yeah, I mean… It’s over. Yeah, I mean, come on, guys. I mean, listen, eh, just not worth it. You know what? Not worth my time. As a matter of fact, just cut this more when I said Brooklyn. Take a listen to our podcast, Ear Biscuits.
