Welcome to “Good Mythical More.” Reality TV can get cray cray. How cray cray? Let’s find out. Some of these are gonna be made up. Some of them are gonna be real. Well, they’re gonna be reality TV. None of them are real but they really happened on reality TV. Or the writers made them up. Right. Link, here’s our chance again. We’re well practiced at this point. Yeah. Okay? Yep. So we should just be able to just do this really, really easily. Right. Right? Right. So whenever we start this, we’re gonna, like we said, it’s gonna be about a 10 word story. About 10 words. Okay, we don’t have to count. It’s just when we’ve completed a thought and we’re just gonna say the first thing that comes to our mind. And we’re not trying to be funny. Nope. We’re not trying to be cute. Here we go. You want me to start? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Recreational. Soccer. Is. My. Passion. And. I’ll. Kill. Anyone. Who. Stands. In. His. Way. Because he. Because. He. Is. Slightly. Me. “Recreational soccer is my passion and I’ll kill anyone who stands in his way.” Which, first of all, let’s just stop right there. And where the “his” came from. I don’t know if it was me or you who said that but it’s weird. I think I said it. “Because he is slightly me.” I said me. Yeah. “Mean” made sense, which is what was written. But “me.” It was just me, “slightly me.” “Recreational soccer is my passion.” Fine, let’s try again. You go first. “I’ll kill anyone who stands in his way because he is slightly me.” I think he brought it back around in the end. Yeah, I don’t think we have to keep going with this. You went out and then you came back. Right. Gosh, we’re better now. You see how good we are at this now? That was great. And that was 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 40, 15, 60, 70, 18, 19 words. We removed that constraint and that really helped. All right. Can you fool me, Stevie? Well. Nope. I know that Rhett is a reality TV lover so I’m expecting that he knows, ’cause I see some of the shows that you talk about. I have a confession to make, Stevie. I’ve really dialed it back. I got through 60%. You admitted you a problem. No, I got through 60% of the first episode of “MILF Manor.” And it like, everything changed in my brain. It was like, “You can’t do this anymore.” Like literally, “MILF Manor” ruined reality TV for me. I know, I know. You told us. You don’t have to tell us about that again, specifically. I think I talked about it on that podcast we do. I dunno if I talked about it. No I think we, I think we talked about it. Oh, I talk about “MILF Manor” any chance I get. It was this big turning point. These are all, I mean, I don’t think these are old. I think they’re all, they’re recent-ish but you might know ’em. So we’re starting with “The Bachelor.” An extremely emotional bachelor fresh off a rejection from his top choice contestant decided to literally evade “The Bachelor” production crew by hopping a fence and escaping into the wilderness in Portugal under the cover of darkness. Okay. Even I heard about this. They teased this moment. He jumped over a fence. All year long, they teased it. It was like he is going, just, the former, it’s like a football player or something? I think he was a track hurdler. No, he was a football boy. He was a football boy. He wasn’t gay until he jumped the fence and then something happened. Yep, yep. I’m kidding. I’m kidding. He was a wide receiver. Oh boy. Oh boy. Let’s just watch him jump the fence. I’m done. I’m done with this. He’s done. How do we know you’re done? Okay. Oh. Colton. Colton, yes. Colton. Colton. Wait, Colton. Colton. Colton, this is almost my last year. My hands are in my pockets. There he goes. That was a tall fence. Colton, I’m on the verge of getting canceled. Please don’t do this to me. Yeah, he’s gone. So we got that one. And then Colton did another show. I tried to watch that show. They made the fences twice as high. I tried to watch, it was a Netflix show or something, wasn’t it? He did another show that was like, talking about the aftermath. No, I think it was just a show called, “Can Colton Jump This Fence?” It’s just, here’s another thing. It’s like those Tik Toks with the cats and the holes that get smaller. Yeah. I think that would’ve went, it would’ve done better than it did. Okay, yep. I remember that, it was real. We all saw it, even Link got it. That was an easy one. Yeah, I just, I wanted to make you feel good before we proceeded with the rest of the game. I feel so good. “90 Day Fiance” stars, Darcey and Jesse got into a full on screaming match over an argument that started out about whether or not pork counts as red meat, eventually getting so heated that Darcey threatened to call immigration on Jesse. Ooh. Are you familiar with these characters? No, I know Ned on “90 Day Fiance.” Is that his name? The kind of, the older guy with the slicked back hair. Ed. Ed. He sort of known for having, he’s got a sort of a notable neck. I know about him and his wife. A notable neck. Notable neck. Yeah, yeah. What do you mean by that? He just is, he’s got a big neck. He’s got a thick neck? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He, it is kinda like a football player. Okay. But Darcey, I don’t, I I don’t think this, I don’t think somebody would threaten to call immigration. Is that what you think? And then. Not really. Pork as the other white meat. But pork is red meat. Whatever qualifies red meat as red meat is true to pork. And I think they talked about this on “Hotdog is a Sandwich” at some point too. Oh, there he is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep, I do note his neck. And what’s, what is that in the inset? That is a woman grabbing. That’s him touching his wife’s. Oh, that’s him touching his wife’s foot. She was, where was she from? Philippines. Yeah, yeah. And she gave, I mean, like. He’s feeling her “pines.” She gave him a chance. He kept screwing it up. Poor Ed kept screwing it up. He’s like a recurring star on whatever network shows “90 Day Fiance,” ’cause he’s such a character. He’s just such a character. I don’t know. That is, by the way, not who we’re talking about for this question. I don’t think that these other people that weren’t him were talking about the the pork to that degree. Yeah You’re correct, it’s fake. But they did have many real fights including one over the best way to cut a steak. This is Darcey and Jesse. Well, they don’t look like they would fight over anything. Especially steak. Huh, all right. I don’t remember them. I didn’t watch enough “90 Day Fiance.” There’s like 11 different shows. What’s the point, though? They have 90 days to get married? You know when you get married to somebody for the green card? Yeah. It’s kind of, basically that’s what’s happening. Okay, what’s the 90 days though? The 90 days the prep for it? I guess 90 days is some. Visa. Visa You have to be together. You gotta be together for 90 days to get a Visa. Okay. All right, let’s hear another. On the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” a fight ensued when none of the housewives could correctly remember the name of Dorit Kemsley’s charity of choice, “Homeless Not Toothless.” Wow. What? I never got into “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and I never really got into any of ’em but it’s one of the ones that Jesse and I would watch when we were on vacation. But there’s the one. “Homeless Not Toothless.” Atlanta. That’s a good one. And another good one is, ’cause it’s so weird, is Salt Lake City. Oh yeah? The Salt Lake City folks. Man, that’s a weird town. That’s just a weird town. You know what I’m saying? Like, I don’t know. It’s just such a weird place. I mean, it’s beautiful. Been there. It’s beautiful. I walked around. We had an hour to kill before we went to the airport and we had our dogs. And I sent the family into like the mall. Send the family to the mall. Great move. And I took the dogs and I just started walking through neighborhoods to find a place where they could relieve themselves. Were you gonna clean up after it? I found myself on Tabernacle territory. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was walking my dogs. I was trying to get my dogs to poop at the Mormon Tabernacle and I didn’t know it. But could you receive blessings if you do that? Somebody, it was under reconstruction or something, like the whole place, the whole square was kind of shut down and then one person came out of like this big building and I, it’s just me and my dogs, just waiting for ’em to poop, I guess on the sidewalk honestly. I was gonna clean it up. Sure you were. And and the guy goes, “Excuse me, are you Link from Good Mythical Morning?” Oh, I thought you were gonna say it was the Angel Moroni. It was the angel, yeah. And I was quaking with fear and he said, “Be not afraid.” No, was just a dude who worked in there who knew us. Yep, so I quite like it there. The thing about “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.” That’s the point of my story. If you like, in that setting, which is heavily influenced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, if you’re the kind of person who becomes the kind of person who can make it on the Real Housewives in that environment. Yeah. Like the combination. That’s interesting Of those two dispositions and sort of life trajectories is so interesting that it just results in the weirdest version of Housewives. Well, I might have to watch that one. Is this the TLC thing? Bravo, right? What are they on? Bravo? Bravo. Bravo streams on what network? Peacock. Peacock. All right. The communication. I know zero of the answers to the questions you’re asking me. Why don’t you watch reality TV, Stevie? This one’s gotta be fake. Well, I dabbled a little bit in the most recent season of “Love is Blind” because. First of all, you don’t have to answer that question. What? You can reserve the right to say, “I don’t have to answer that.” Yeah. No, I’m saying. Why don’t I watch reality TV? I don’t have to answer that. Feels like Stevie would watch it because. You know what? It causes me to have like a depression spiral. Oh, okay. I get it. Truthfully. Then don’t watch it, please. Are these people for real? And like also secondhand embarrassment, I have really bad. That’s my favorite emotion. So many awkward situations. Hold on, hold on. You have secondhand embarrassment really bad? How does that play out here? Yeah. You don’t have any of that here. Yeah, you just, you we just learned how uncomfortable you’ve been making Stevie all this time. Are you uncomfortable right now? No. Like these, like the the one guy, I’m sure that everybody already. You wanna talk about pregnancy? Huh? Wanna talk about what? Pregnancy? No. No, no, no. Me neither. That’s a different, that’s not secondhand embarrassment. What about homeless but not toothless? I’m saying it’s real ’cause it’s such a ridiculous. Can we talk about that? Can I give my thoughts on that? Let’s pivot back to the question at hand. Yeah, as we were saying. “Homeless Not Toothless.” Not toothless is a reality because it’s a dental thing, isn’t it? Yeah, but that’s such a horrible name. That’s what makes it notable. You’re not guessing, that’s not the question that you’re answering. Based on that, I’m saying this is all a lie and I hope. I think it happened. It happened. And we have a clip from just a portion of the fight. At Dorit’s house and we had the whole conversation with Sutton. At the “Toothless and Homeless Foundation”? Not toothless and homeless. Don’t laugh, don’t laugh. This is a really important charity, Kathy What? “Homeless Not Toothless.” “Homeless Not Toothless.” Yes, and Garcelle, you know, it’s a really important charity. Yes, you’re laughing. I’m laughing ’cause she’s funny. It’s not about your charity. Come on. It’s not about your charity. They all look incredible. They do good work, that’s what matters. They do amazing work. Forget it about the toothless not homeless charity. “Homeless Not Toothless.” Homeless not. You just said toothless. Toothless not homeless. I mean, it’s not a great name. It’s not a great name. It really resulted in some. Whether you say it forwards or backwards. Some awkward. Not a great name. I feel like that would almost be a better charity, though. Toothless not homeless. Oh gosh. It’s just, you have to be, think about what state of mind you have to be in for that, to land on that name. The Vennn diagram between landing on that name for your charity and then looking like that. It’s a circle. Is it not? Peacock. But so they, they’re, they look like, I just. Super glammed out man. There’s a lot of hair. It’s just amazing. It’s amazing that they spend that much time on themselves and it’s just. Well, they’re on television. But like the hair to like head ratio. Right. Headless not hairless. In between each body, the hair covers at least a good two feet. Yeah. Between each. I’m impressed. I’d like to see all those women bob for apples. Okay. I’d pay money to see that. I’ve seen someone ask you how long you’ve been married and you don’t know. Well that’s ’cause I’m trying to figure out what year it is. You don’t know what year it is? You can’t ask me who the president is. Well, I think you can right now.
