Welcome to Good Mythical More. You’ve worked so hard to get here. You’ve poured all of your energy into it. And now you get to reap the rewards of being in a Good Mythical Moore by helping us, or at least watching us spend the tickets that we’ve earned. No, help us. At well, I was gonna say Barnes and Noble. In the future, oh. Dave and Buster. I wonder if Barnes and Noble flipped a coin too. Noble and Barnes. Noble and Barnes. You see, you say things It’s Barnes and It doesn’t sound as good. But just cause- Barnes and is easier to say. You’re used to saying- Noble and, Barnes and Noble, Barnes and Noble. Noble and Barnes, Barnes and Noble. Noble and Barnes sounds like more fun, I think. Like a Carnival. Noble and Barnes. Noble sounds so stuck up. Yeah, yeah. Freeze frame. I just made this face. So we have 13,000 tickets. I don’t know if you- Good gracious. That’s how many we earned from the episode. This is will be good training for me, about how to get the right items to then go sell them. We’re gonna see, yeah? On the black market as part of the advantage players team. So we’ve got, up here at the top, for a whopping 10,000. This is the stuff that nobody ever gets, unless you’re an advantage player. A blue, and then you start to think- I got to get used to some of this. I really want this Bluetooth speaker. And then you realize, you know what? I’ve been to three conventions in the past two years and they’ve given me a free Bluetooth speaker. Oh, well that sounds like- I got a Bluetooth speaker that was on the lid of a water bottle. Yeah, well you- One time. Okay. Isn’t that wild? Isn’t that wild? It sounds a little privileged to me. Going to conventions and getting Bluetooth speakers. But having a good Bluetooth speaker is important. Very important. You know, if you go travel to a place, I always take a Bluetooth speaker because you never know. You’re, if you’re in a hotel it’s hard to get the music. Yeah. How are you gonna play music in a hotel? What are you gonna do? And then if you need to rent a bike and go around town with a Bluetooth speaker playing really loud, so you can disrupt everyone that you- Right. You gotta be that guy. You gotta bring your own. You gotta be able to do that. You gotta bring your own. I’m a big believer in a Bluetooth speaker. I mean, do you travel with a Bluetooth speaker? If I’m going on vacation, yes. If you’re going on vacation, yeah. And you have it in the room and you have it, you can have it on the beach or wherever. Yeah, I have it on the beach. Yeah, yeah. And it connects to your phone via Bluetooth. In my recent vacation there was a, a couple of couples. You can say it. Couple of couples, I learned by eavesdropping on their very loud conversation. That they were from New Jersey and one of them was a urologist and the other was a dentist. It was those two and their wives. Okay, so both ends? Yep, and they would be talking about something and then- One of them was talking about- They would say something Face wounds or something? And he would be like, The wiener? How many vasectomies is that? And he’d be like, how many wisdom teeth extractions is that? They were talking about money in terms of their procedures that they perform on people. Really? How many, click-throughs is that buddy? I was enjoying it so much, but the reason I’m telling this story- How many mythical hoodies is that? The reason I’m telling you this story is because they had a Bluetooth speaker. And they were fighting over what they were gonna play. And it turned, it started with the husbands selecting the music and they were playing, is it Train? Yes. Yeah, that sounds about right. Yeah, they were playing Train and then they were literally talking to these two middle-aged doctors. And one of them was like, Train’s great. And the other guy was like, I know like Train is great. And I was like, me and Jess, just started looking at each other, and I was like- Drops of Jupiter? I’m so glad that I’m listening to this conversation. And then the wives showed up. Oh, it was just the husbands. And then one of the wives started busting both of their balls. And she was like, what is this 1990? Like she, I don’t know what, she had some descriptive term for it. Good. And then they were like, well, what do you want to play? And she was like, I don’t know, Luke Bryan. So then they started playing Luke Bryan. Country music, more modern. But then the other thing that started happening is they would play a song for 45 seconds max, and then switch it to another one. Ooh. And I was thinking, Yeah. Okay I was like, this was entertaining. I do that a little bit And now it’s becoming, when am I gonna have to say something? And then they went inside before I got to that point. But I wasn’t gonna be like an ass about it. I was gonna be like, you guys are really flipping through the tunes or something, you know? I was gonna say something- Can you just go back to the Train? Let’s just pick a vibe, Train was great. Best of Train perhaps? When you start at Train and then it’s all downhill from there. Yeah. That put things in perspective. See, you are being too nice in general because if you’re like, if other people can hear the music and their experience is dictated by the music that you’re playing, uh-uh. It better be good right? I hate that. I think that’s so inconsiderate. I feel like I’m doing everyone a favor. Especially at like a hotel where there’s like, everyone has fought for these chairs you know? Yeah. So yeah. It’s also like you don’t, yeah, you don’t listen to Train. Like you came to the beach, Hey, Train’s great. to have your own beach time. Put your Air Pods in. Hey, Train’s great. Or whatever. Train is really great. Train gets a lot of hate, but Train’s great. Next we have a more costume, I’m gonna tell a story for every item. Dino costumes. Buckle up. Now this is fun, a dino costume. This is something that you would never get in your regular life. Now what is that, why is it in that package? Is that the package it comes in? Yeah. Let me tell you about a package. PlayStation controller, record player, guaranteed crappy. That’s the thing about all four of the top items is that if you get them at one of these places, it’s going to be, Crap. so low quality. Yeah. So I don’t think I’m gonna get anything for 10,000. It’s gonna be like an iPod Shuffle. Down here at 2000, you’ve got a T-shirt. I actually have this. You have that T-shirt. I have this T-shirt, and who was it, who else has this T-shirt? Brittany. Brittany, that’s right. I was like, Britney you’ve… In the writer’s room I was like, I’ve got that shirt too. She was like, I got it at an arcade in Burbank. I was like, well I bought mine at a T-shirt shop. I feel kind of, Yeah. I don’t feel as great about my shirt now. Yeah, she paid for it with tickets. She won it. It was literally, that shirt. You know I have it. The kitty spiral. I might recommend that. What a coincidence. A wireless cha… Yeah, she’s the writer on this? Yeah. A wireless charger. Those are important. Those are, that’s something that you might not have. Cause you’ve been really suspicious of them. I’ve been really dadding it up lately with the charging of the phones. Have you now? Yeah. What do you mean by that? This previous trip, the one where the Train happened. Yep, you had chargers? I made a decision, a very dad decision to buy a charging block at the airport. So I never thought anybody did this, but I was like, somebody’s got to do it. But- You were like taking one for the team? I’m just saying when like, when you are in the McLaughlin family and you’re not me, your phone is about to die all the time. Mm-hmm And I was like, You could be the hero. I’ve got to do something about this. I’ve got to do something about this. And they haven’t done anything about it yet. So I got one that is so, I love it. It’s a charging block that has the prongs on, to plug into the wall that pop out of it. Oh they’re fixed to it. And the cords coming out of it that charge your phones, also fixed. So you only need this thing. You don’t have to, It’s like an octopus. Remember anything else. Because another thing I learned about everyone else in my family, other than me is any cords they lose them. Cords they throw them away? Yeah so this is, you can’t ruin it. Well, You just plug it in. The problem is you have to charge that. Yeah, but it can charge your phone four times in one go. And it charges it so fast. Did, your family use it? Oh yeah, everyone. They love you for it? Everyone had a lot of power. Again? A lot of power, well- Did they finally forgive you for- They didn’t appreciate it, you know? They didn’t appreciate it. When I, They didn’t appreciate it? When I would take their phones and I would plug it in, then I would look at them like- Right. They were like, why are you so into this is my phone. What do you wanna say to daddy? Like say thank you for thinking of everything. Yes. They don’t say that. No one in my family has ever said, thank you for thinking of everything. Yeah, yeah that makes a lot of sense. And next we have a Hello kitty plushie. We have a jigsaw puzzle. Those can be fun, on a rainy day especially. Down here we’ve got cheap earbuds. That’s what my therapist calls our podcast, earbuds. I never correct him, but he doesn’t listen to it because he’s not supposed to like spy on me you know? He’s just supposed to be with me every couple weeks. Be with you? Yeah. Just sit with you? He said, oh you talked about that on earbuds huh? Mythical, Yeah. Mythicon beer coozie. I did. That’s a collector’s item, that’s a real thing. BoxLunch brand, Boba air freshener, that’s fun. I kind of like getting things that I wouldn’t get otherwise. Like if I’m really in the market for a Bluetooth speaker, I just don’t want to get- You’re not gonna get that one. The crappy one from here. Yeah you’re down here at rubber ducky territory. Yeah, I’m definitely thinking I wanna buy this. Can I go ahead and buy the- You do what you want. The Boba air freshener? Well, it’s our money together. 12 grand. 13 grand. So just circle it. So I want to get- And then every time we increase, we’ll just put a X times whatever. Right now it’s just one. I also like the wireless charger. I kind of want to go ahead and circle that. Oh, that’s a lot of money. And I don’t know how good that one is so. Down here we’ve got a finger trap. I want that. Yeah, I know you do. Yeah. Yep. I want one of everything on the bottom except the hard candy. Rubber bouncy ball. Yeah, I want the bouncy balls. All right, we want that too. I want two of the sticky hands because I’m gonna put my hands inside my shirt and let them drop out of the sleeves. Oh, that’s fun. Then walk around like that. We’re doing this twice. Yep, doing that times two. So it’s a hundred, that’s 200 plus 700 dollars. So we have, What? 500 left? I’d like a T-shirt. No we have, I’ll get a different one. We have 600. I’ll get a different T-shirt. That’s the only one they have. Brittany got it, I have it, that’s it. Well maybe when you guys aren’t wearing it, I’ll wear it. Get it. It would look good on you. I think so, I like that color. Get a double extra large though cause it shrinks. 2X yeah, that’s what I do now. Okay so we’re gonna get that. So that’s 2000. Hey listen, if you want- What did I say, we had 6,000? If you want the wireless charger, get it you know? Right, so now we’re down to 4,000. So I’m also gonna get this because I carry a wireless charger in my bag. In my computer bag. I don’t think we’re down to 4,000. Yeah, this was 200, that’s 700. We’re not even- We have 13,000 tickets. Yeah, I didn’t do it right. So we’ve got plenty. So now we’ve used 4,700. If you get the wireless charger. We can get a lot of more stuff out of that. I mean we could get a 10,000- Let’s get a jigsaw puzzle. No, that’s dumb man. What about the dino costume? But if you get bored without light? And what if you get bored and the power goes out? You can’t charge your phone. I’ll take, yeah, I’ll be wearing my shirt. We could play records. By turning them manually and listen to them very closely. Oh they did that in that horror movie I just watched. Oh, they did? Yeah. What about a, I like a good beer coozie. Yeah, we probably can get those. Let’s get this. You’re gonna get something we probably have like in a box somewhere. Yeah, it’s Mythicon theme. We’re trying to get all those back together. We disseminated these after Mythicon to all of the Dave and Busters. I’m trying to get them all back. Let’s get some hard candy. Let’s not get the hard candy, dude. It’s just. I’m gonna need to be sucking on something when we’re sitting around. If it were soft candy. If the power went out, the lights went out. I’m thinking about if the lights go out. I’ll be the entertainment. I’ll put a, a sticky hand in each of my sleeves. We got some hard. We’re buying everything from the 50 tickets because when the power goes out, we wanna suck on hard candies. Why don’t you get a finger trap too? Yeah, that’s right. Well, I thought my finger would go in the other end of the trap. No, we’ll do doubles. Okay. We’re gonna really be encumbered if we do a double finger trap. You can get out of them, I know the trick. Cut it in half. Get two of them. So we’re getting two of these. Got to clear the finger though. Yeah two finger traps. We’re getting two of these. You wanna just go up to random kids at the arcade and get them to get finger trapped? Oh, I’ve done that before. I wonder if the advantage players will let me to keep that habit up? It looks like we can get almost any, everything. I don’t really want a plushie, but I do want that jigsaw puzzle. I don’t really want to a plushie. Why do you, you really want a jigsaw puzzle? Let’s get a PlayStation controller. Do I have a PlayStation? We can’t. No. We’ve already used too much. No, we, no. We’ve already gone, yeah we don’t have enough. We can’t even, go up there anymore. Get another T-shirt. Get a backup for you. You get a backup T-shirt. I do like that T-shirt. If you get a T-shirt- Right, we’re getting two of these. Now listen, I told Stevie about this recently. You know, I got a shirt and then I got that shirt in a few other colors. Yeah? And she said, oh that’s a very mom thing to do. Yeah, yeah. I was offended. Yeah it is. Yeah, it is. I was offended. Because you don’t want to be compared to a mom? But no. What’s wrong with moms? Nothing’s wrong with moms. Moms are pretty great. But- Moms are always there for you. Thing is you know, If they’re good. Stevie, I’ve gotten to an age. In general, moms are much better dads. Hey, listen it’s not wrong. I have shirts, the same shirt and multiple colors. But it is a mom thing. It’s like, you know, Sounds like a mom thing. They went to Kohl’s, you know? They went to Target, they saw a shelf. They said this is, I’ll take the whole rack. this looks nice. I’ll take the whole rack. We’ll get it in five colors. When you listen, when you find a shirt that fits you and makes you feel like yourself, get it in multiple colors. That’s what I say. I’m glad that you did that. It’s not this one is it? No, you can’t get this shirt in a different color. Okay, good. This is just like a one off. I like it. Scotch & Soda. Oh, I’m showing a little too much skin there. Did you add this or? Yeah, yeah I had that added. Okay. It was extra. We have 7,000. They said, do you want the colorful pocket? I said, well who do you think I am? You know what, just to shut you up. Thank you. I’m a get that jigsaw puzzle. Okay, now we’re talking, now we’re having fun. And those are, since they’re $2,000 a piece, what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna get two of them. Oh, thank you. And I’m a mix it all in to one. Now you have double the chances of making one puzzle. That’s a horrible idea. I think you can make the puzzle twice as fast. Try half as hard, make it twice as fast. Double the, that’s how all puzzles should be sold. No, you no, it’s not gonna make it easier because think about it. This is exactly how it would go down. If I find the piece- Double the puzzle, half the time. If I find the piece that we’re looking for, we now know there’s another one of those same pieces that we have to keep looking past. And so now we have to find that piece to get it out. Mm. It doesn’t help to have twice as many puzzles. It makes it, it actually, it’s horrible. It’s the same as doing two puzzles, but probably worse. So take one off. Unless you just want it to be a, make it a backup puzzle because you never know if you’ll lose a piece. Right, that’s what I was thinking. Yeah, it’s a backup puzzle. I’m imagining you guys having this entire conversation at the ticket counter start to finish. Those advantage players, they really take, there’s a line forming behind you. That would be like the most anti-comedy scene in a movie. Like a 15 minute conversation of these guys, like trying to spend their 15,000. How do we still have 11,000? They’re 13,000 tickets. Oh. You want a plushie, right? Why can’t you do the math for me? You’re kind of, you’re… 1,700. You have, y’all have a lot of plushies at your house so get one. We don’t have 2,000, we only have 1,700. Get a cheap one, get a small one, get a duck. Okay okay, yeah I’ll get a duck. Get a couple, I don’t care. All right so that gives us, all right, I’m a get two ducks. And now we only have 200. No, we don’t. Dude, so you just went from 11,300 11,300 to 12,300. So now we have 700 left, because we got two ducks. We got two ducks. 700, 700. Now’s let’s just- I think we need another one of these. Another air freshener. Get a backup air freshener, all right. Yeah, and that brings us down to- We got 200, so let’s get, 200 bucks. Two more finger traps so we can do foursies. Yep, yep. Plus two. So we- Yeah, so that’s it. That’s what we’re gonna do with the it. So, we’re gonna have six, we’re gonna have 12 fingers left between us. That’s plenty. What? No, we’re gonna do four fingers Four finger traps. So that’s eight. We’re gonna have four thumbs. We’re gonna have four thumbs between us. So where’d you get 12 fingers? Well, I used up all my math trying to figure this out. How many fingers do you think a human has? Four finger traps, how did I do that? All right, so two guys with 10 fingers are each gonna put eight fingers in finger traps. Which leaves two guys with 12 fingers, got it. I was- Give this man a calculator. I was thinking that a finger trap, I was thinking that a finger trap- It’s just one finger. Went on every, I counted every finger it went on. Yeah. Did I? No I didn’t. You know what? I counted half the number of fingers I don’t know if there’s a way to explain what you did. In twice the number of puzzles. Yeah, yeah. It’s gonna be a real good night. Who killed Moochelle? Well we’re gonna find out soon. Visit mythicalsociety.com for details.
