Welcome to “Good Mythical More”. It’s where it’s at. Oh, I like that. Hey, that’s good. Is that our new slogan? We’re trying that out? It’s where it’s at. It’s where it’s at. Our crew apparently has trinkets that mean something to them, so we’re gonna ridicule them for it. No, we’re gonna rank them, and they’re all special. Let’s combine two things in one. Yeah? Let’s boogie down now and have the crew come in with their chairs and boogie down now with us. Okay. Come on, guys. Use your chairs in a cool dance. That’s cool. Yeah? I’m just trying to be efficient. Don’t blame me. I was an engineer for two years. Wow, you leaned forward anyway. Did you even see that I was? I felt it. Welcome to the show- Check out this thing. Brittany! Woo! You’re not gonna welcome- Thank you. Everybody else? Well, I mean, you sound like you interrupted me. Chase, Sierra, and Joy. Link, is this the one that you Come on up, guys. Smash yourself all the way up here. And for the first time ever to the show, Joy. Hello. Joy. Joy. Come on, Joy. Smoosh yourself- I am. All the way up here with us. There I am. All right. Okay. Joy, what did they tell you to prepare you for being on a “Good Mythical More”? I mean, this is the first time we’ve even met. Yeah. Right now. It is. And here we are, this close to each other. Yep. Yeah. Yep. Yes. Good to meet you. Good to meet you. Can you hear me? Yeah, I can. Yeah, but I don’t know why I’m yelling at your face. Hi, Joy. Hi. Is it your turn? I’m also yelling. Okay. I’m just trying to keep it consistent to keep you comfortable. I’m very comfortable. Are you, though? Yeah. Wow, that says a lot. Okay. How did they prepare you? Just okay. Okay, guys. They just told me to come with a story and a trinket. Okay, so you each have a trinket and a story. Yes. And we’re ranking the combination of the trinkets and the story? Mm-hmm. However you wanna do it. Yeah. Who’s nervous? So nervous. Okay. Joy, I just, I’m kind of upset that Joy is not intimidated at all. Yeah, right. I can be. I can be if you want me to. Why are you so chill? Joy wants to make you comfortable. Joy, I don’t know if you’ve heard, but this is kind of a big deal. Okay. You wanna go? Yeah, Joy. Just a moment ago, this was a big loop. And may have also been in Link’s mouth. Okay. You know what, Joy, we’ll let you go last so you can gather yourself. Pull yourself together, Joy. Brittany. I’ve got a little guy. He’s a troll. He’s a troll. Should I tell my story now or do you wanna look at them all first? Can I hold? Sure. Is it precious? Very. Okay. You can begin the story. But what you’re supposed to do with him is you’re supposed to like, aren’t you supposed to Start a fire? You’re supposed to make his hair go in all whiches of ways, right? I did his hair right before I came on. By spinning him. I didn’t know that was how the hair got all wild. There we go. Oh. Oh. I just did it. There’s a Instagram account called ThirtyAF and they like to post viral tweets and over the years they would post many of my tweets, but they didn’t ask me. But that’s okay. What? Many of your tweets? Quite a few. You embody ThirtyAF? Unfortunately, I guess so. Over many years. Yeah, I’ve been 30 AF for a minute. And they’ve taken some of my tweets and posted them, which a lot of those Instagram accounts do. But they also sell things and they were sending out influencer packages with like these ’90s nostalgia packages, ThirtyAF. And I commented and I was like, “Hey, you guys always post my tweets. Can I have one of these boxes?” And they never responded. And then a bachelorette from “The Bachelorette”, Katie Thurston. Katie Thurston? You know her? You know of her? It’s just, it sounds, it’s a great name for somebody who was on “The Bachelorette”. She was just. She was the bachelorette. Sorry. Oh, okay. She wasn’t one of many, she was the only one. Yeah, yeah. She was the lead. Katie Thurston much? Wasn’t she in “The Bachelor”? You should tweet that on ThirtyAF. She was one of many in “The Bachelor” and then she was “The Bachelorette”. Yeah, yeah. That was what I thought. A recent bachelorette, posted on her Instagram story that she got one and I responded and I was like, “Man, they take my tweets all the time and they never sent me one.” And then she responded and was like, “Let’s fix that.” And she DMed them and was like, “You need to send this girl this package right now.” And I didn’t know that she was gonna do that. And I got a box of the worst crap I have ever seen in my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You regretted that decision immediately. It was just awful. I completely played myself. It was terrible. That was the only thing that I was like, I guess I’ll keep this around. “I completely played myself,” she says. So this is one- You said it. Little thing from the box- Yeah. That represents the box. Wow. ’90s nostalgia. Okay, that’s a pretty good story. You had a bachelorette co-sign for you and you see what happens. You get a box of crap. You’re currently ranked as the number one best story. Okay. Thank you. But also the worst. Chase. All right, I got this kind of almost flat pack little Easter bunny that my dad handmade me. He loves you, doesn’t he? He does. He loves me so much. Chase, Happy Easter, 2012. Crose, Mom, and Dad. C. Rose, Chelsea Rose. That’s my sister. Oh, okay. Signed on the back. Not Crose. Can I hold? It’s their nickname. We’ll point out that there is a short and curly hair on the top of it. Is that a rabbit hair or a Chase hair? It’s probably a Walter hair or a Percy hair. My cat or my pug, to be honest ’cause it just, it’s one They have pubes that long? They do, yeah. Actually, Walter just, he was at the vet and they shaved his belly. So it’s probably a Percy ’cause all his pubes are gone. Wow. Your dad makes crafts. Yeah, so my dad, you know, he loved doing that stuff for us. They’re great too. Like there was a train going around my bedroom on the ceiling and my sister had like a little loft in her room that my dad built and stuff. Neither one of these things are on par with that thing. What do you mean? That is not a good craft. So. I mean, compared to a train. Okay. Or a whole loft. So hold on. Well, this wasn’t trying to, like, wow a child with, like, magic and wonder. This is 2012. This was my first Easter away from them in college. And he wanted to just, like, send me something- It’s a piece of home, man. To celebrate Easter. So he took It’s sweet. You can also feel it. It’s made out of, like, denim. They got those, like, kind of denim, like, couch pillows. Yeah, it’s very durable. That, like, my dad just loved this one particular pillow that I had on my, like, bed growing up. So he cut it up and turned it into rabbits. It was on its last leg. It was already, like, torn up and so he used that fabric to create this bunny for me and like, you know, just hand colored it and shipped it. How does he give, oh, he shipped it. Send to Ohio. He doesn’t meet you one day and he like hugs you and then you walk away and it’s in your back pocket. No, he didn’t. It wasn’t like a Easter trick or anything where it showed up. And this was, like, one of my first holidays away in college and he stitched it himself. You’re gonna grab that hair? Made a little bunny. I wouldn’t grab that. So Link doesn’t like, what? Your dad was on “The Bachelor” too, right? Yeah. Oh yeah, definitely. He was one of many on “The Bachelor” or on “The Bachelorette” and then he was “The Bachelor”, yeah. That’s a sweet story, Chase. Trying to get the sympathy vote. It’s not as sensational as Brittany’s story. And he even added a pube. I mean, like. Yeah, yeah. Well, you get points for pubes. He didn’t use a template for this? No, he just hand stitched and cut it- He just made it, man. And did it himself. Is it one of a kind? I think so. No. I’m pretty sure. He made me one. 2012. Dang, you got in 2012? Yeah. Did you have to ask someone to co-sign for it? No, your dad just gave it to me. Got it in Kirkland in 2012. It was my first holiday away too. Okay, Chase, I don’t think it’s as good as the troll. Oh. She said that was like a horrible thing that she hated. I said this is like a passionate thing that my dad. I mean, I don’t know how, what’s the value system here? To me, it’s like which one I’m more interested in. Yeah. I think the undercurrent here is that we feel manipulated emotionally. By Chase’s dad. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s like Chase’s dad came up and gave us a big group hug and left a little rabbit in one of our pockets. And we didn’t even ask for it. Right. That’s how I feel emotionally right now. Okay. I’ll let him know. Sierra. Well, this is an award I won for a play I wrote. Oh, are you gonna read us the play? This is heavy. The whole thing. Yeah, it’s a bunch of stuff found in a theater shop, like a tech shop welded together and spray painted bright blue. Okay. Now how does this relate to the play you wrote? It doesn’t. Did you write “Saw 4”? Not quite. That’s a bad welding job. What if that was like a, this is a high school play? Man, “Saw” would be a great play. In college. Like a college. No, no, no. Like Broadway. Like “Saw” on Broadway and it’s just like you just watch people get completely maimed. I would love it if it was And the whole front row gets blood all over them. Yeah. Hey, this is a good idea. Who would go to that? No, no. Two words. Community Theater “Saw”. Even better. Same blood. Okay, well, we gotta get there first. But think of it, me and KG, we’d be on the front row. Yes, sir. Just covered in blood. We would look like Carrie when we walked out of there. So what did you do to earn this specifically? It was the best student production at the Fringe Festival in Salt Lake. Yeah. The Fringe Festival. Yeah. That’s a pretty big deal. This was the best Easter bunny sent to someone in 2012. Did you guys hear him say that this was welded bad? I did hear that. He should be punished. He’s bullying me. What do you mean punished? Yeah, Chase. The trophy’s all right. You have to swallow this. I think we’ll have to punish the bunny. Bad bunny. That’s right. You want us to keep hurting your bunny? No, I don’t. This is cool, man. It’s also like a weapon. Like I feel like if someone broke into my house and I came out with that, they would run away. Yeah, that’s awesome. You’d hurt yourself in the process probably. There’s not really a good place to grip it. That’s awesome. This reminds me, just last night- Yeah? Make it about you, yeah. Shepherd came in the room and he was, it’s funny because these were so big when we were his age and I didn’t know that they were still a thing. He had a throwing star. It was like all little boys When we were in the ’90s, everybody had these things and I was like, “Oh, these are back?” He was like, he like didn’t understand the question. He was like, “What do you mean?” I was like, “Yeah, we had these.” Where did he get it? It was some, like, thing that he ordered. I think he ordered, like, some clothes on the internet and like, this company, like, throws throwing stars in there. Throwing in a throwing star. And he was like, “Yeah, I went down the road and threw it at a tree. I’ve been throwing it at trees.” I’m like, “Well, make sure no one is near this tree.” You know? But I was just like, you know, it’s great. When my kids do things that feel like are the things that we did when we were kids, I’m like, this is great. My kid has a sharp weapon. Hopefully, he won’t take it to school and he can throw it at trees, but not people. There was a ninja obsession. I don’t think it was “Karate Kid” related. There was no throwing stars in “Karate Kid”, were there? Was it like “Naruto”? I don’t think so. Was it like anime related? “Naruto”? Are there throwing stars in? Yeah. Okay. There was ’cause I had them as a kid too. Oh, you did? Yeah. And like the knives as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You had knives and throwing stars as a kid? Yeah. Okay. So this going from like- Where’d you grow up? Worst to best right now? This is best. Why do you hate me? No, I was just asking what the system is. Here’s why I think- I love you, Sierra. That Sierra’s sculpture is the best currently because it represents a personal accomplishment, a creative accomplishment, which is, like, what we really, really believe in around here. And it’s handmade, too. Creative. It’s very crafty and handmade. A lot of love put into it by all of her castmates. Yeah, yeah. And the craftsmanship is a few levels above what Chase’s dad was able to pull off- Oh, man. With that rabbit. Just blue paint. There’s so many colors on this. I’ve heard it. There’s blue, there’s pink, there’s purple, and black. I mean, if you brought in a loft or a train set, then we’d be having a different conversation. I’m gonna text my sister to see if I can get a picture of the loft or the train set. No, you cannot have lateral entries. He’s desperate. All right, Joy, what you got? J-O-Y. J-O-Y. The requirements here are scaring me, but this is my little trinket. It’s a little bear that my soon-to-be mother-in-law gave me. So she gave me one. Soon-to-be mother-in-law. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I gotta compute that a little bit. I’m engaged. Yeah, that’s pretty much the, yeah. That’s what it is. Hold on, let me see. Engaged. I didn’t know if I should be sad or happy for you. Oh, you could be happy. You’re getting a mother-in-law. That doesn’t sound great. Oh. I love you, Mom. Let me just say a couple of things about this. You can like manipulate his little hands and stuff. Look at that. Your soon-to-be mother-in-law? Yeah. So my fiance’s mother. Your fiance’s mother. I could’ve said that. I don’t know if there’s other ways to say it. Gave you a cheap little bear. No. Well, it could have been. What did she say when she gave it to you? So, I think. Sorry? No. She gave one to my fiance and then I saw it and I was like, “Wow, I want one.” And then she was like, “Here” and then she gave me one. Take his. Yeah. So we both, so I have one. She got a whole bag of them or something? I think she might. She might. ‘Cause I don’t know where she got them. Is it worn down? It looks worn down. Like you can’t even see the eyes. Or is that kind of built into it? It’s like made to look worn down or you’ve been wearing it down or it was used when you got it. I’ve had him for like a year and a half. He’s in my purse at all times. Okay, so it’s like a rock tumbler. A year and a half. A bear tumbler. You’re still not married? What’s the wait? Wait, I just got engaged. But I’ve had this before I was engaged. Oh, so it was just your boyfriend’s mom who gave it to you? Well, yes. So less significant. Now we know. Oh. Yeah. But you feel that one of the reasons that- I got a chance. Do you feel like one of the reasons that you got engaged is because of this bear? Yes. Is that the right, yeah. Is that the right answer? What is it about bears and your mother-in-law? I don’t know. It came with a note as well. Like a little card. Did you memorize it? I didn’t bring it. I lost it. Do you remember the essence of the note? It said like, “When you’re sad, like, hug me.” And so it’s like, it’s really cute and sweet. Wow. When you’re sad. So you have a good relationship with your future mother-in-law. I do. When my son makes you sad, hug this little bear. And then vice versa for him as well. Yeah. Does he still have his? Yeah, he does. Okay. Do you carry it with you at all times? At all times. And then when I travel. Oh, oh no. No. You do? Yeah, in my purse next to lip gloss. It has a little hook. Yeah, he’s there. And then when I travel, I’ll take pictures and we’ll send pictures to his mom. Oh, so it’s like a Elf on a Shelf? Yeah. No, yeah, it is. Like I have pictures of it, like, at bars and places. He doesn’t look comfortable, does he? Okay, all right. So, Joy. He looks kind of socially off. Joy, just so you know, this line of questioning has all been to determine if you indeed have the worst trinket. Just as like- I have a feeling I’m at the end. Is it worse than Chase’s dad’s bunny? Can I chime in with something? Yes, please. So when all the crew members, like, submit their stuff, like I have this, I have this and we have to choose who’s gonna come on. I saw Joy’s and it looked like a picture of a giant teddy bear, the perspective. And it said, “I carry it with me everywhere. I go overseas with this.” It’s like, oh wow, that’s amazing. She carries a giant teddy bear in her purse. This is the first, I wouldn’t have put, I would not have had Joy join if I had Wow. Goodness. That’s just mean, Carney. Why you being mean to the crew, Carney? Nice to meet you, by the way, Joy. We’ve never met. Nice to meet you too. Welcome to Mythical, Joy. Was she, like, way in the background but it looked like she was It was just a picture of a teddy bear. It looked like, maybe we can find it and we can put it up. So if a picture of a teddy bear goes to the border of the picture, you automatically assume it’s life-size? Please don’t turn, this is Joy’s fault, please. I feel like it was next to a mug or a cup, something. Yeah. Well, let me see. A penny. Matt, did you think it was a giant mug? We’re pulling up the photo. It is unexpected to be this small. I mean, like. It is small. And it looks, it has like the characteristics of like, if you just saw this on a surface, you know, you might think that that was a full-sized teddy bear or a giant teddy bear. Yeah, like when I travel. There. I think this might have been the picture. Next to a giant sweet tea. It’s next to a glass . Oh, no, there it is. It does look like it could be very big. Like, I know there’s, like, a glass in front of it. Yeah, it could be, like, a regular-size bear. No it doesn’t. But it looks like it might be in the corner of a room. It’s propped against a teacup. Description says, “Tiny bear”. It’s this tiny bear that I take everywhere with me. I don’t know, man. That thing could be three feet tall. “It fits perfectly in my cosmetics bag,” it says. It says tiny, Carney. It does say tiny. I can’t be expected to read every word in a blurb. Yeah, right. You speed read these things. If there was a life-size one, I would buy it as well. Why does it look better in the picture? He’s a little, like, if you kind of dig, you can find his eyes. You just kind of have to, like, open them up a bit. So you fluffed him for this picture? I do fluff him for the pictures. You know the nice thing about all these trinkets is that you could, if you wanted to, you could put them in the mail- Yes. With a little note and then you could mail them to the two of you. Mine was in the mail. Yeah, you could do that and then The problem is Jen doesn’t work here anymore to check our mail. Right. So there’s only one solution to that. Maybe we should bring back Jen for a one-time-only Mythical Society Special, “Mail with Jen”. That’s right. We’re doing that. Send in your mail. And we may read it on the special and hey, you know what, maybe you should send something for my birthday because I mean, my birthday is October 11th and that’ll be, you know, right around that time. So send it by October 2nd, please. Do not send a pound of flour. Oh gosh. You’ve done it now. If she tries to pelt me in the face again- Okay, so where would She’s not gonna make an appearance for another four years. Joy, you know what? Not funny. Not. Number one. I feel like because you’re, you know, you’ve got this blossoming relationship and this is obviously very meaningful to you and you carry it around- And it’s handmade. You officially have the second worst gift. Yep. My dad said that, like, he and I are on thin ice and if something happens that we might that, like, he and I might not speak again for like four years. Wow, that sounds serious, Chase. I just wanted to put that out there before. Great. Okay, so. Maybe you should send him a little rabbit. I think this is too heavy and dangerous. What? I think we gotta give it to the troll because this is a special memory involving a desperately single woman. I don’t stand by this. Thank you. Not you. Did she get married? No, it didn’t work out. Right. See, it didn’t work out. Didn’t work out. When you got to get- She’s a nice woman though. A bachelorette to vouch for you to get a box of crap, that’s special. That is special. Okay, well, I don’t know how I feel about this, but I’m not gonna argue too hard for it. Sorry, Sierra. It’s fine. Joy, are you gonna send this video to your family and friends? Yeah, I will. She’ll be delighted to see it. Your one family and friend? All my family and friends. Okay. And my soon-to-be mother, my fiance’s mother. Yeah, yeah. Which one? I don’t know what you want. Your bosses are total jerks. Especially one. “Mail with Jen” is back for a one-time-only Mythical Society Special. Send in your mail by October 2nd.
