Welcome to “Good Mythical More.” Let’s learn about some interesting possessions and the crew members who cherish them. But first, let’s donate $1,000 to the Association for the Study of African-American Life and History to aid in their mission to promote, research, preserve, interpret, and disseminate information about Black life history and culture to the global community. Please join us in giving at aslh.org/donate. Thank you for being your mythical best. All right, guys. Come on in here. I was told multiple times by multiple people that these are- Actually- …actually- …prized possessions. …prized possessions of crew members. And I think the implication was don’t hurt, maim, or otherwise destroy them, but- Yeah ’cause that information- I can’t hurt, maim, or otherwise destroy their feelings about them. But the thing is, is that that was not directed at me. I just, I noticed- No, I felt that. I felt that was talking to you about that. I did feel that. Like, would I pick up this helmet and try to shove it on my head and break it in the process? Yes. Of course not. Most prized possessions. I mean- This is a big one. Let’s get it out of the way. Sure. ‘Cause what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna rank these. What place are you gonna put that? We’re gonna judge ’em all. Based on the story that they have attached to it. Yeah, so let’s start with this one, just to get it out of the way. This appears to be a Mandalorian helmet. It appears to be homemade. But given that it’s… Wow. It’s just made out of cardboard and- Wow. …tape and paint. It might be from the set. You don’t know. This might… I don’t know. I’d like to hear the story associated with this. I mean, you nailed it. Yeah, a quarantine project. I was like, I really wanna make something out of cardboard, so I made this entirely of cardboard paper and glue and paint. Wow. Wow, Taylor. Yeah. And it, for some reason, used to go on my head, and I don’t know if I got bigger or it got smaller. But I tried to put it on. Well, take your glasses off. Okay. Well, see, but here’s the thig. Thank you. You’re welcome. And suck in. Suck in. I got it on my head. I got it on my head, nut you might have to give me a second. I think you actually have to blow out, not suck in. I got it, and it came off, obviously. There we go. Nice! So. That kind of- Yes. Cool. The thop is part of the realism of it. I mean, it looks so real. You can’t see it. I can’t. Just leave it on. Okay. And then keep talking. So what’s the… Tell me the rest of the story? What did you do with it? Well, I have it on a head. Thank you. I have it on a head on display, and it collects dust now, but I’m pretty proud of myself. But you can’t see out of it. I cannot. It’s a craft. It’s not a Halloween costume. Yeah. It’s less of a costume, more of a prop. So… Okay, well- You look badass. And it’s your- Yeah. …most prized possession. Now, listen. There was a lot of things that went through- No, hold on. Don’t. You can’t take it off. Okay. This is the way, man. Fine. Isn’t it? Yeah, it is. Unless you’re, unless you’re the other sect. No, no, no. No, no, no. Yeah, this is… I mean, I have a lot of prize possessions. It was hard to pick one. Are they all made out of cardboard? No. But this one, I was pretty proud of it, so. I gotta tell you, the craftsmanship in that thing, I didn’t think that you, you or anybody here made it. It’s amazing. I thought- Yeah, I did it. I mean, the way that the inside, it looked like a ship. And on camera it just looks legit, you know? It looks like it’s a little bit beat up, on purpose. Okay. You wanna move on to this one, Rhett? Can I take this off? That’s according to your own beliefs. Yeah. It’s completely up to you. Yeah. Might wanna just move on while I do this. Any struggle? No? Okay. We’re good. Don’t draw any attention. There you go. Thank you. Norma Whitney, second base. Sorry. What is this? You know what it is, but it’s not yours. No, it’s not. So whose is this? It’s mine. So Hitch. This is not in any sort of protective casing. We have a couple of ’em. Oh. What is this? Give us the… Tell us the story. So that’s my grandma. What? Oh, your grandma! Hey! Jenna knows who this is! When you’re done with it, put it back here, so they, I want them to see it. Your grandma was a professional baseball player? Yep. She played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in 1949. So like the “League of Their Own”? Yep. Oh my God! What? Does she know Geena Davis? She met all of them. She’s in the end of the movie, too. Oh no! I remember that because- She’s been sitting on this! Well- Was she there when Tom Hanks peed forever? No. Yeah. I’m out. I’m out. That is so cool. So did she have any teammates that were in the movie, too? Your grandma has a baseball card! Like other people that she knew? Yeah, she played for the Chicago Colleens, which is the shirt I’m wearing. Oh. And that was the traveling league, so not the Rockford Peaches, which is what the movie’s based on- Yeah. …the team that the movie’s based on. But yeah, she played for a traveling team, and she played for a year and then had an eye injury and couldn’t play anymore. What position? An injury while with South Bend in 1950 forced her to retire. Yep. She coached girl’s softball as well as being a member of the board of directors of the McKeesport- McKeesport. …Softball League. Yep. And then these cards were made in 1995. Yeah. They did a lot of things. So it’s like a commemorative- Yeah. That’s cool. That might be when the movie came out. 1992, I think. Okay. All of her stats are unavailable. Yeah. You know his- I’ll shut the, up. That’s pretty cool. Did she tell you stories about- Oh yeah. …what it was like to be a professional baseball player? Yeah. She had a lot of stories about it. They traveled a lot, so they would go all over the place, and yeah, she talked about it really fondly. That’s very, very cool. What… Can I ask about the eye injury? Was it baseball related? She had detached retina. She got elbowed in the eye and then- While playing? No, actually just, she was pretty rough and tumble, and played sports outside of this, too- Okay. …and got elbowed in the eye. You can say “bar fight.” It’s fine. She actually didn’t drink surprisingly. Wow! No drinking. But yeah, she was just walking one day, and then her eye started to sting or something. Back then, it took like a month to recover from that kind of injury, and they told her if she played, there was a chance that it could detach again, and if she were to go back, she likely wouldn’t be able to see out of that eye. Damn. But she’s 95. She just had her 95th birthday. Whoa! Yay! She can still see out of that eye? Yep. There you go. Nice! She can still see. She’s pretty cool. She made a good choice. You ever play catch with her? Yeah, I used to. I played softball. I took the same number. She was a big influence. Oh, dang! Aww. Okay. This is what I mean. Did she watch the Amazon Prime series? She’s a little… No. She a little over it? She wouldn’t remember it if she did, I guess. Ah. Okay. But I did and I really liked it, so. We’re moving you to number one. Yes. I mean, what can we do? I knew the second she brought this to the table, I was like, okay, I need my helmet. Well, Jim Carrey might be Emily’s grandfather. Is this yours, Emily? I wish. We don’t know. “Spank you very much.” Yeah, it’s in mint condish’. So I started a chat room a Nickelodeon chat room about Jim Carrey in the third grade. Yes, that was like 1994 or something. So my parents had the, you know, the big beige cube? Yeah. With the black screen and- Dial-up. …green lettering on it, and I somehow found a Nickelodeon chatroom and started a Jim Carrey thing. You were obsessed with Jim Carrey. Oh God. He was like my hero. And then I also would write him letters all the time. Multiple. Yes. One time I wrote a script about being his long-lost daughter who had the same hairdo as him and everything, and then years later, they made a movie about his illegitimate son and it was the same thing. Are you saying that they stole your script? Yes. The name! I even made illustrations and everything. They used your illustrations? Well, no, they didn’t use the illustrations. Was this made into a movie or just made into a screenplay? What? It was made into a movie, and it didn’t go to theaters. Okay. And he wasn’t in it. It was just this little kid that was doing a Jim Carrey impression, which when I was like nine or 10, I could really, I was really into it. I could do an Ace Ventura. I can’t do it now. Have you ever met him? No. How did you get this? So I wrote him letters- I heard that. …and eventually, he sent this back. A cease and desist. No. It was mailed to me, and it was like the best day of my life. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. ‘Cause that is a line from one of his movies. Well, it’s from, I think, “Ace Ventura.” “Ace Ventura.” Oh, okay. One of his movies. Yes. That one. “Spank you very much.” Yeah. And then- He’s still around. He’s still around. Not quite… I don’t know if he’s the guy he was when I was a kid. You know- Maybe he is. I think he is. Yeah. It feels like he’s made contact with something. Yeah. Yeah. He’s become somebody. But I would very much like, very much like to meet him nonetheless. But I would- It doesn’t say Emily. Oh gosh! Sorry. As you can see, I don’t protect this thing. Right in the hot dog juice. I should frame it or something. Well, it doesn’t say “Emily” anywhere. No, no. It was just… And sometimes I debate if that’s even his autograph or it was printed on there. Uh. We could have it inspected. I mean, probably. But I would keep it in the front of my Trapper Keeper. This is real. I would like slide it into that- Oh yeah? …the plastic. This has veracity. So that everyone could see it? So everyone could see it- Oh yeah. And I’d walk around school like, ha, ha, ha. And now where does this rank compared to the Mandalorian helmet? Well, she wrote a lot of letters. She did. It was a quite an investment. And a script! But Taylor was sitting there for just months during the pandemic, just day after day. 12 hour day. 12 hour day. 12 hour day. Just adding tape to that- Yeah. …cardboard. I think we stay in this order. Okay. Yeah. I don’t know what that is for Jenna. Ah, yes. Jenna, what is going on here? So- It looks like a cigarette compact. So as you all know, because I talk about it with you two a lot, I don’t know if everyone else, a lot of people died in my life. Okay. So I’ve gotten things over the years and- Okay. …mostly jewelry and different sort of stuff, but this one I got from my great Aunt Edna, and I really like it. She was a woman of the world, a very fiery, free spirit, and every now and then, she’d go to horse races or different sporting events, and it’s a very cute compact binoculars. Oh dang! From the 1960s that you can like- Whoa! Look at horses You can like… And I just thought that they were the coolest, cutest thing, and… So yeah, I got this when, when she passed away. Okay. Wow. I am not gonna touch those. I have faith in you. I have faith in you. I don’t think you’ll break them. And you can focus it. Wow. It still works. Everything about this. Everything’s still works. Gorgeous. Yeah. And it’s just a really fun- You see what I’m doing? I have totally taken that to- Tongue out. Tongue out. Tongue out. …a horse race before. A horse race? Yeah. Oh my God. I’d almost- Like a horse. You actually looked at horses through this? Oh, look at the horse! Have you ever had this appraised? We may find that it’s actually worth the most of any of these things. No, I’ve looked on eBay before, and on eBay, people are selling them for like- $50. I don’t think it’s big. Stick your tongue out. Out, in. Out, in. Out, in. Just like a horse. Yeah, these were made in the sixties. And how do you- You do a little- You just push it? Nope. You just do a little smush and then… You do a… Yeah. You gotta give it a little help. Uh-huh. And then- And voila! You can pop it. You can click it to open it. You won’t break it that way. Yes. Sport glass. Yeah. 2.5X. Made in Japan. Yeah, in the 1960s. That is cool. You can keep it in your purse. Yeah. I feel like we have to put- Does that move from this? Above Jim Carrey? I feel like both of these- Dead relative? Well, I mean, we’ve got… They’re related- Dead relative is better than Jim Carrey. They’re related to someone- Yes. …that, you know. Wow. It’s a family thing, right? We don’t know. These are family things. Yeah. But any detached retina? No detached retina. Okay. What about you or Jim Carrey? Any detached retina? I mean, I’m legally blind. Okay. That’s something. You ever detach a retina in here? Never once. Nope. Okay. So I think we’re moving these two to the top and this one here. So which one is the worst, really, is what we’re gonna spend some time on. Can- Yeah, here. It’s mine. I mean, look at look at the inside of that, dude. Wow. I mean, it’s ribbed in there. Holy moly. What’d you- It’s like the inside of a ship. You should show the side of it. It’s like a ship hull. Like a ship hull. It’s very ribbed. It’s gorgeous. Mm-hmm. Did you watch a video to figure that out? There was a guy who was selling a PDF of an instruction booklet that looked it was from the 1900s, and I followed that. What? The 1800s Mandalorian construction book. Was just how to make a helmet or how to make- Yeah, it was like how to make a Mandalorian helmet, but it was 3D printing and stuff. But I was like, I’m gonna try this with cardboard. Did you start building it around your head? Yeah, I had a mannequin head that I sized it to. Wow. Which is I think accounting for- Smaller than your own head. …smaller than my own head. Yeah! Yeah. Yeah. Hurts a lot getting it off. You should have built up the mannequin head first. Yeah. This is tough. But you can get it on. I mean, it needs to be tight. I’ll go ahead and say mine’s last. Okay, well, Emily said her’s is last. Just because the movie was so bad with the kid in it. There you go. And it’s my fault ’cause it was my script. The least valuable prized possession is Emily’s Jim Carrey. All right. And we will be keeping all of these. That’s right. Thank you for your donation to the Mythical Museum. No!
