Welcome to Good Mythical More, the last one of season 24. Don’t cry. Let’s get some, I’m not going to. Don’t cry. Because, next week we’re doing, we’re doing some retrospectives, we’re doing some marathons. But if you wanted to cry, you could. It’s gonna be fresh content. I’d support you. We’re gonna bring in the crew, we’re gonna talk about, the things that are constantly on their mind, just like the Roman Empire for, a lot of, who? There’s a lot of people. A lot of people? Yeah. Okay. But first, a random disturbing fact. Okay. An early form of contraception once included soaking dried beaver testicles in a strong alcohol solution and drinking it. Dried beaver testicles? So you’re, so, what? What? The practice dates back to the 16th century in Canada when women sought to prevent contraception. Soaking dried beaver testicles in a concentrated solution of alcohol and then deeply drinking the resulting infuse. Right, because if you. No record of its effectiveness. If you drink beaver testicles right before you have sex, no one wants to have sex with you. That’s how it works. Okay. So what you’ve been drinking? Beaver testicle infused alcohol. Why yes. Okay. Well, I’m moving on. Speaking of which, let’s bring in our crew. Let’s bring in our beaver testicles. What do you mean, speaking of which? I don’t know, I was just making a segue. Just making a segue for Jasmine. That was so gross. Yeah. So gross. Carney and Meghan. Hello. And Mikayla Alright guys, don’t be shy. So I’ve certainly seen, ever since people. Scooch on up here, Mikayla. Ever since people started asking, and I think it started, as we’ve discussed before on this show, it started with, a lot of women asking their male partners, how often do you think about the Roman Empire? Many of them said more often than you would think. Okay, yeah. And then, of course, that didn’t make sense to everyone, but then my Roman Empire has become whatever it is that is sort of your thing, right? The thing that is on your heart, on your mind. Something you really care deeply about. It’s just constantly lurking in the back of your brain? – Yeah. – Pretty much. Okay, and we have, we have these cards here. Oh, we have cards? Oh! Losing my fifth grade spelling bee. Oh! I can relate to this. I can relate to this too. I know my word. Me too. I lost, I know my word, not yours. I lost the spelling bee in fifth grade over a word that I definitely knew how to spell. It haunts me every day. We think it was, you think it was fifth grade? I think it was fourth grade for us. Might’ve been fifth grade. We were in the auditorium. Yeah. Multiple classes had come to it. We were in the Buies Creek Auditorium. And my word was extraordinary, and I was bumfuzzled, which I could spell. So you didn’t know it was extra ordinary? When I sat down, and, it was revealed how it was spelled, that it was extra ordinary, I was just like, not only was I mad at myself, then I was just embarrassed. And then just this deep embarrassment overtook me. I was like, oh, of course everyone knows how to spell extraordinary. Because it’s just extra ordinary. Yeah. You look like an idiot. What was your word? Fruition. That was harder. But if I would have asked for the definition, I could have figured it out. What’s the definition of fruition? You know, like fruit. I’m asking you right now. Something that, it’s like the fruiting of a situation. It’s the result of something. Like the fruit on a tree. So this is a person who lost the fifth grade spelling bee. Fruition? Yeah. F-R-U-I-T-I-O-N. Fruition. Because you knew it was fruit. because I told you, but. That’s why I knew it. Made it easy for you. But I feel for whoever this is. So this person is still thinking about it. Who struggles with shame? A performer. Good question. A performer. A perfectionist. A speller. A speller. Maybe a writer. Someone who really thinks about their spelling. Like, they take pride in their spelling. Like a writer. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Could’ve been Carney though. I write. You started here as a writer. I’m not gonna say just a writer. Because some people are still just writers Oh, wow. Alright. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that’s gonna go with Meghan for now. Meghan’s an extra ordinary writer. Oh, yeah. See when you say it like that. Have her skills come to fruition? I think she’s got potential that she’s still got yet. Wait a second. No, she’s great. Okay. Then we’ve got my undiagnosed IBS. I can spell that. IBS? Every day, I wonder why my poop schedule, every day I wonder what my poop schedule is going to be, and every day I’m surprised. Okay, yeah, that’s yeah. I’m pretty, I have. – [Rhett] Pretty regular. I have a, I have some special moments carved out in my day. Do you do a little whittling while you? Because I’ve been thinking about putting a little whittling No, that’s gonna keep you on the throne too long. It’s gotta be something quick. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who, who wants to talk about their poops? This feels like it might be a Carney. Carney will talk about anything. Come on. I won’t talk about anything, but. Carney doesn’t care. Carney just. Like, it’s like, oh, there’s a bus. Let me slide underneath it. That’s your vibe. I don’t care. You don’t care. I don’t care. People think what they’re gonna think of me. You’re an extra ordinary pooper. Thank you. Time travel. Every day I think about time travel. Every day? Every day. In some form. The idea that I can’t ever know how the earth actually looked when dinosaurs were here, or how it all will end, drives me mad. Wishing I could do things like that is an itch I’ll always be scratching. Wow, someone who’s thinking about time travel and really wants to see the world end. Or begin. Yeah, or begin. This is like a, like, with a sci-fi aesthetic. Maybe with, like, planets tattooed on her left arm. I have cats. ((Laughing)) Oh. It’s not me. Sci-fi aesthetic. I’ve never heard Mikayla talk about. Mikayla! Hey. What dinosaurs were like. You’ve never thought about what dinosaurs were like? No, I’ve never heard Mikayla talk about this. I haven’t either. Is she thinking about it every day? Her examples were weird. If not, a little childish. Let me, oh, say that louder. I wonder what dinosaurs were like. Well it says what the Earth actually looked like when dinosaurs were here. Oh that’s different. That wasn’t childish. Just so you know, I think the plants were just bigger. Right. That was the only difference? That was the only difference? Big plants. Can I explain myself here? Yes, I’m saying things that are harsh. It’s a strategy. I’m trying to get a reaction out of somebody. That’s smart. You know, it’s a game. This is not. This isn’t his personality. ((Laughing)) Listen, I’ve taken a lot of heat this season. And can I just take a moment? Oh, take a moment, yeah. I’ve taken a lot of heat this season. I’m here for this. And, you know, we’re 24 freaking seasons in, and here I am taking a lot of heat. Yeah. You’ve been turning it up. For what? – [Stevie] For what you’re doing! ((Laughing)) Exactly. For what, for what you’re doing. Exactly. Wow. But it’s strategy. Let it go. Get over it. I mean, it’s just, it’s just, I don’t know what’s wrong. Yeah. It’s my fault. You’re right. Okay. But I’ve taken the note. Well, so I don’t need to hear it anymore. And you know what? Turning over a new leaf. Season 25. Oh, season 25. What’s the new leaf? What’s on the other side of the leaf? No more harshness. Oh, really? Really? I mean, you had, come on now. You had your season. There were a few seasons there where it was, it was all about you and your meanness. Okay. What season was that? I don’t keep track, because I don’t care. But, come on, back me up on this. Yeah, there was that mean season I had. Like, you took a lot of heat. I took a lot of heat, I was so mean. Hold on, I’m serious. Yeah, I was, yeah, I was, I was, I was, I was so mean. This is getting, this is getting deep. I remember that, yeah. I think about it, it’s my Roman Empire. ((Laughing)) To be honest with you. He’s not backing me up, but there was like, there were, there were, it was more than a season. More than a season. It was a season in life. It was my mean season. It was a whole season in life. Where it was just like, oh Rhett’s so mean. Yeah. And then you know what? You had to turn over a new leaf. I turned over a new leaf. Yep. I gotta poop. Sorry. ((Laughing)) Mikayla, and your childish thoughts. The final fight scene in the last Twilight movie. Oh. Scene in the last Twilight movie where, spoiler alert, Carlisle, the dad, gets his head ripped off by one of the Volturi members and why the movie makers made that choice? Yeah, why would they do that? ((Laughing)) The dad got his head ripped off. This person thinks about this every single day. Every single day. Well, I mean. Try it on, for size for Jasmine. Alright. I feel like that could make sense for Jasmine. Okay. ((Laughing)) Sometimes, sometimes I see that look on your face, and I’m like, oh, she’s definitely thinking about somebody’s head being ripped off. Oh, is that what I look like all day? Yeah. Just sometimes. I really think, I can see Jasmine being the spelling bee too, but I liked the writerly thing that we came up with, but. Okay. I think we should switch the two. Switch which two? Meghan and Jasmine. The spelling bee and the Twilight. But I don’t have a rationale, and we did have a rationale. Who needs a rationale? Who needs it? Yeah, this is our final answer. You like that? Final answer. Carney, you good to go? Poo poo? Poo poo? I no go poo poo. ((Laughing)) It’s the end of the season, I’m a little wimpy. No, this is not me though. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, crap. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah. So you’re losing the spelling bee. That’s what you deal with. I won my fourth grade spelling bee. So this is definitely not me. Oh, dang! We’re trying to give Carney everything! What? Are you thinking about time travel? I do. Oh, he thinks about time travel, okay, okay, okay, okay, so, now we got this, we got time travel right. Because of mistakes. Because of mistakes. That you’ve made? No, I just, all the, for all the reasons I said here, I just, I’m gonna, yeah, that, sure. Undiagnosed IBS. He was a writer. He was a writer. Okay, we’ll go with this. Jasmine. IBS, undiagnosed, pooping all over the place. I don’t, I think I poop like once every three days. Okay, but that’s undiagnosed IBS. Oh. That’s not good. But I don’t think about it. If I have, I don’t think about it. It must be, it must be like. Hey. ((Laughing)) Hey, new leaf, man. I was being, I was being, I’m being concerned. Oh, okay. Tell us what you’re gonna say then. It must be like. Rock hard. Okay. No, it’s pretty smooth. Okay. Once every three days. I don’t know if this is harsh or just inappropriate. – [Stevie] Wait, what was this? Not the game. What is this? Tell us about your poop! How’s your poop? Well, we gotta do match the crew to their poop next season. I think it’s a good idea. I pitched this. Oh, you did? Yeah. Maybe that’ll tell you something about it. I’ll send them my pictures. Yeah, let’s give this to Meghan. She pitched it. I’m. IBS? Yeah, this is me. Oh, okay. It’s all over the times. Just, yeah, no. I never know when it’s gonna happen, and it’s, it truly does surprise me every single time. I’m always thinking about it. It’s more fun that way. Do you have to run? Sometimes, yeah. Okay. So, I have tummy aches all the time. I’m just constantly like. Okay, well you need to talk to somebody about that. Yeah, I have several doctor’s appointments. Get diagnosed! Oh, you do? I’m only confident saying undiagnosed because I’m on my way to a diagnosis. Okay, great. Great. You know what? I feel for you, Meghan. And I want you to get the care that you need. And, it’s important to all of us. Don’t look at me when you say that, look at her. ((Laughing)) Okay, Twilight. It’s a funny scene, ((Laughing)) It’s not mine! Oh, it’s? Dang we were wrong! Mikayla. This is the most wrong we’ve ever been. You lost your fifth grade spelling bee! What a way to end. What was your word? It was croquet but I spelled croquette. Oh, wow. Two T’s? Two T’s and an E. Oh. And I didn’t want, to like, said the word. I spelled it and I was like. So you were right at, you were right at one point. Yeah, you were right. That’s why they make you repeat the word. That’s why they make you repeat the word. So you don’t go like U-E-T and wait, you have to say the word. Yeah. But then you were like, T. E. Did you guys win your spelling bees? Yeah. Did you really? Yeah. Wow. Okay, for reference, this was the Chicago Tribune spelling bee. So I won the one at my school. – [Rhett] Oh, oh, yeah, I definitely, I lost it. Buies Creek and extraordinary. I never went on anything else. Didn’t even make it to Dunn. Yeah, my winning word was favorites. Like, it’s the easiest freaking word I’ve ever won. Could be hard. Plural of favorites. Yeah, and the only reason I won is because the girl runner up didn’t put the S on the end. That dummy. Yeah, I know. That’s a cheap way to win. There’s no way that it was favorites. Man. That’s like, when you get silver, and then, like, the gold medalist, like, is exposed for doping, like, six months later. Yeah. And then you get the gold, but nobody’s there for it. That happened to me at another time in life, too. I ran for, like, ASB, like, school, you know, government. Spirit Commissioner. Spirit Commissioner was doping? And I came in second, and then the person who won, like, one day just nobody ever heard from him again. They, like, moved out of town or something. What did you do? ((Laughing)) Became a Spirit Commissioner. Really, really wanted that position. And so they were like, well, he got second place, give it to him. Oh, okay. I’m proud of you. Time travel back and warn them. That they were ghosts. Oh, so you’re, but you’re thinking about this quite a bit. You’re thinking about dinosaurs and the world ending, specifically. I really want to know how it all ends. Yeah, I would love to be here for that. Wouldn’t you? Oh, yeah. No. Yeah. I really would. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, unaffected by it. I don’t care. Like hovering outside of it. I just want my distant relatives to be here for it. What? But you don’t care to know how it all ends? No. What about how it all began? Which would you rather know? I’m not a big fan of either. I’m kind of really into what’s happening right now. I don’t know man, it’s a little existential for me right now. I’ve already tried to turn over a new leaf. Yeah. You’re doing great. I’m doing, I’ve done so much. Yeah. So much work. Like, the thing about seeing how it all ends, it could literally be like, you know like. Slow and ugly. February of next year. You know? Or, or it could be like, 10,000, 100 million, billions of years from now. Yeah. And if it was billions of years from now, it would be like, it would be so crazy. You couldn’t even comprehend what you were seeing. The chance that that’s the case, that would be pretty awesome. Yeah, I want to see that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That’s me. What about you guys? Mikayla, you think about this every day. Yeah. You think you see a guy getting his head ripped off for comedic? It was not, but first of all Hold on. That was traumatizing. Okay, listen, I was 15, 16 years old in the movie theater by myself because I used to go during the day when everybody was in school because I didn’t like screaming teenage girls As a former screaming teenage girl, but, yeah, yeah, my mom would, everybody talks about my mom or I always talk about my mom and the bad parenting decisions she makes but she’s a great mother She’s a great person, but she would pull me out of school when Twilight came out. Any new Twilight movie came out so I could watch it during the day and not have to deal with screaming teenage girls. And so I was in the, because my mom didn’t want to see this with me. She was like, I don’t care about Twilight. Screw it. And so I was in the theater alone by myself and the man’s head got ripped off and I’m in the theater alone, just sobbing, weeping. And you’ve never let go of this. On the ground. I’ve never let go of this. Even though it turned out to be, like, fake. And a vision. And, like, it was a vision of the future. Double spoiler. Say what? Listen, the only way for you to deal with this is exposure therapy. We need to get that cued up. And we’re gonna make you sit and watch it. She watches in her mind every day. I do. ((Laughing)) I do. Over and over again. Because why would they do that to little 15 year old me? Think about me at 15 years old, just sobbing in a theater. I am so sorry for you. Yeah, it explains a lot. I mean, I feel for you. Thank you. Do you really though? Are you saving that for season 2015? 20, 25. Yeah. Do you really, right now, at this moment? Why are you, do you, do you, you’re pressing me. Do you really want to know the answer? Yes. ((Laughing)) I do. Wait, did you lie about this too? ((Music)) This would be a good cliffhanger to end the season on.
