Welcome to Good Mythical More. The place where you learn everything you need to know to live a vibrant life. Yeah, that’s right. Like when you look at art and you’re like, is that a famous artist or did a kid do that? That’s something that you need to know. For a vibrant life. For a vibrant life. Did you just look at my ear? Yeah, it’s funny because the reason I looked at your ear is because I saw one of those TikTok videos. And it was, you know, it’s just like somebody’s acting like a doctor and they’re like, if you have this crease in your ear, you need to go see the doctor right now, because you have a so and so chance of a cardiorespiratory event or a cardiovascular event. And that’s what you’re thinking about right now? No, it’s just I looked at your ear and I was like, Oh, you have a crease, but it’s not the same crease. I think you have a crease that’s fine. You don’t have the killer, you don’t have the killer crease. Okay. Thank you. Good. See, you can live a vibrant life. If you’ve got a crease in your ear that goes from, I don’t know, just look it up on TikTok. I don’t know. Look it up, look it up on TikTok, doctors. First, before we get into all that fun vibrant life stuff, we’re going to name Gracie Vance’s pet. Because Gracie submitted it with hashtag GMMReadyPet Okay, alright. – [Link] Is this a, what is this? – [Rhett] That’s not a pet, that’s a spirit. ((Laughing)) – Okay, I mean. – A dark spirit. That is a spirit that has manifested itself into a physical form in your home. – [Link] You have nailed it, Rhett. I think, I think, I think his name should be Spirit. – [Rhett] Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s like a guinea pig with like, stilts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. ((Laughing)) I’m going with Lucifer. I like Spirits. Let’s see what we got. – [Rhett] Ollie! Oh, okay, you know what? You try to soften him up a little bit. With Ollie. Oh, it’s just Ollie. It’s just Ollie that just, you know, appeared in the corner out of nowhere. Materialized. We’ve never fed him. He seems fine. It’s a sleep paralysis dog. ((Laughing)) Sorry, Ollie. Oh, God. – [Stevie] How did you guys feel about your? Poise. – [Stevie] Sculpting. Well, I felt great until I didn’t win. – [Stevie] Well, I mean, I was gonna ask compared to your. I felt bad until I did win. – [Stevie] Compared to your sketching. Do you feel like the sketching prepared you for the sculpting? Do you feel stronger in one area? You know. I don’t, I don’t really, I don’t know. I surprised my. I did not expect to do well at all in sculpting. I was really surprised at how well we both did. I mean, I just was like, I’m not, I’m not good at fine motor things usually, at least that’s the impression that I’ve given myself. And so when I was doing this with the nipples A lot of smoothing. Yeah, I focused on, I did a lot of. Softening. Caressing my sculpture the whole time, like smoothing and stuff. I don’t know, there’s just, it felt like it’s what I wanted to do. I was just following my heart. Yeah, it was very therapeutic. It seemed. Like if it wasn’t, if it wasn’t competitive and it was just, there was no time limit and it was just like a rainy afternoon, it was just you and a nude lady in a room, I feel like that would be really calming. I might, I might take that up. ((Laughing)) I’ll be, I’ll be your nude lady. What do you do, like, I was asking you, like, you know, if Lando, he’s doing the, I mean, Lando like, gave us a little mushroom? Yeah. Cause he like made that big mushroom at your house? Yeah. And then he like made these little like very realistic mushrooms. And he like brought one to our house and I was like, what? You’re like a savant. I mean like, it’s like this kid just made this mushroom that if you just saw it laying down you would just think, oh, there’s a mushroom in the house. Yeah. – [Stevie] Are you, are you trying to do like a really great transition? Oh. Are you kidding? ((Laughing)) That’s a good transition there. Are you kidding? He’s a kid artist. I’m just saying, Lando has, he’s very good at it. And I was thinking, is he looking at a mushroom while he’s doing it? – [Stevie] Do you understand what I was saying? Cause I, it’s unclear. Kid artist. You’re saying that we’re about to see mushrooms or we’re about to see kid artists? – [Stevie] What? You know what we’re about to see. Kid. Kids doing art. Kids doing art, yeah. Like my son Lando. – [Stevie] That do art really well, like Lando, who you were just talking about. Yeah, yeah, but I just thought, and the first picture is a mushroom. ((Laughing)) Like I thought that maybe the level of coincidence was higher than I expected. It was a mild transition. Let’s see the first one. – [Stevie] Yeah. – [Link] Oh. That’s cool. – [Rhett] Okay. – [Stevie] I mean it could be mushroom related if you think about it. – [Link] But this is, so this is, This is Picasso, esque, but not Picasso. I’m gonna say this is a kid. – [Rhett] I’m gonna say it’s a kid. Now, it’s a talented kid, for sure. – [Stevie] What makes you think that? I just think an adult would not do something that was so derivative of Picasso. But a kid might do that. I don’t know enough about art, honestly. This is total conjecture. You’re gonna feel bad when it’s a grown ass artist. – [Stevie] Well, it’s a child artist. Good, good. – [Stevie] This is Andres Valencia, and I’m sorry if I butcher anyone’s name. And it’s called Alex and Alexa. And they. It’s cool. – [Stevie] Made it when they were 12. Which is now. Well, that’s pretty good. – [Stevie] They might be 13. That’s pretty good. – [Stevie] Unclear, but. It’s wonderful. That’s great for a kid. Sorry that I said it was derivative. You know, I think it’s, it’s, you know, everything’s derivative. Keep working, you’ll develop your own voice. – [Stevie] He was influenced by cubism, so there’s an influence there, and Picasso is one of his inspirations, or their inspirations. When I was 12, I was playing Qbert, so we have that in common. ((Laughing)) Qbert. Remember Qbert? Yeah, it was the orange guy who went to the top of the pyramid. The top of the pyramid, that’s all you had to do. You had the lunchbox. I did, I had a Qbert lunchbox. You were younger than 12, though. Yeah, I was. Next one. – [Link] Oh. – [Rhett] Wow. This is Ollie again. – [Link] I mean, look at that tongue. – [Rhett] This is Ollie after a meal. I, the fact that the, the humanity in those eyes is disturbing. It’s like a human face. It’s like Uncle Barry on Pepper the dog’s body. This is a child. – [Stevie] Did you say Uncle Barry? Uncle Barry. – [Stevie] Yeah, I have an Uncle Barry. How’d you know about my Uncle Barry? He’s blue eyed? Did he walk around with his tongue out like that? This is a watercolor. Which is a very kid way of doing art. It looks very kidsy. Right, I mean, adults, adults, adults don’t get Any self respecting artist doesn’t use watercolors. Dead with the watercolors. I mean, like. – [Stevie] You guys remember that time that we did that episode about art? I mean, if you’re an adult, you gotta paint with something that just can’t be dissolved under a fountain. You know what I’m saying? Yep. This is a kid, clearly. I think it’s an adult. – [Stevie] It’s a famous adult artist. Edvard Munch. Edvard Munch. – [Stevie] Angry Dog it is called. And, it was painted from 1938 to 43. It took, took five years to paint it? – [Stevie] Yeah. And, and he was known for, The Scream. Oh, The Scream. Why, he had a famous scream? Wow. I thought that was. This one. A different one. This, this is not, this is not adult level art. ((Laughing)) Yeah, this is clearly, this is clearly practice. Sorry, dude. Five years for that? Clearly practice. You kept coming back to this and decided to keep going? Yeah, it certainly feels like, oh, lunch is gonna be here any second, I gotta finish. You know what I’m saying? It has that vibe to it. A kid could do this. Not my life is continuing on. In 40 minutes. – [Stevie] Okay, let’s not fall into the dad, a kid could do this modern art trope. Yeah, right, right, right, right, right. We’re too sophisticated for that. We’re too sophisticated for that. We are now artists and sculptors ourselves. That’s right. Did you see those boobs I made? I mean, those nipples. – [Stevie] They were, like, really good boobs. Yeah, I mean, I was like, very. You won in my mind. Oh, really? Thank you. Yeah, you won in my mind. I was really going for the natural, you know, I mean, I was just trying to do what Carmen had. But I surprised myself. But mine, I mean, my pose was difficult, structurally. It was. Carmen made it easy for me. Right. Next one. Oh, what in the world? Charlie Brown eating himself. What is happening? – [Rhett] Okay. – [Link] So there’s one, two, three, four, five kids. This is the first one that I’m like, I respect this. If a kid did this, I’m gonna be surprised, and. And they might need to talk to their counselor. Yeah, yeah. School counselor. School counselor. This is an adult artist. – [Rhett] They’re like duck people. Or they just have giant red noses. – [Link] Giant red noses? – [Rhett] I don’t know. You see a couple of different things in it. There’s things that kind of get, like, lost in it. It feels symbolic. It feels a little bit dark. They’re all biting each other. Yeah. It’s a bite on bite on bite on bite on bite. Like, that guy in the middle is, I mean. – [Rhett] He’s being bit and biting. – [Link] He’s, good gosh, it’s disturbing. It’s like the Human Centipede of red nosed people. – [Stevie] It kind of reminds me of, like, an AI result gone wrong. Which is sad. – Yeah. – Which is sad. – [Stevie] Which is so sad. I always feel bad for AI when that happens. Full grown artist. Adult, adult. – [Stevie] Correct! It’s René Magritte From, it’s called La, La Famine? La Famine? It’s from 1948. Disturbing. – Wow. – Remove it. We can’t take it anymore. Have you seen the, you know, the AI, prompts? They’ve been doing this for a while now, when they’re like, they’ll tell it to do something, and then they’ll tell it to do it again, and they’ll, like, extremify it. Yeah, yeah, it’s pretty amazing. Tell me, like, show me, a woman in a cozy setting petting her dog. And then make it more. Cozy. Cozy. Make it more cozy. Make it more cozy. It just gets crazy. Yeah, it’s nuts, man. It’s nuts. It’s scary, and it’s nuts. And we’re all gonna die. – [Stevie] And, speaking of, Link, your nuts. Were also great, not as great as Rhett’s boobs, but. I decided, it occurred to me, cause I looked at them I looked at the guy’s. Yep, it was right there. Scrotum, and I was like, you know what, it’s not two balls, it’s two balls in a sack and I have to remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it’s like, it just, and my finger, and I just went like that and it just happened. It’s like, these are scrotum making hands right here. Shoop, it just, I was particularly proud of it. You noticed that, Stevie. And then the wiener itself was, masterful. It was my best work. It was. The trunk and the berries? I think it was great. I felt like the direction of the wiener was a little. Out. Yeah, it was like, that’s not what I saw. Are we gonna have to blur that or? We can show that, right? It’s clay. You can show a fake peen. Hopefully. Hopefully that wasn’t blurred, because that was my best work. Can we see the next one, please? – [Link] Oh, gosh. – [Rhett] Now this is immaculate. – [Link] I mean, this is. – [Rhett] There’s some photorealism going on here, but also some other stuff happening, you know? You can tell it’s a painting, but it’s like someone painted over a picture. And they were a child. Now, and this is the dad showing, right? So, if I was, if I was like, saw two people and observed them, and one of them was that guy painting that weird dog with the tongue out. And the other person was painting this. It’s that, I feel like I could do the dog given, if you just give me enough, I could never do this. And I think that that’s where normal people, who don’t really understand art, like us. We kind of go to the, well I couldn’t do that. You know, I couldn’t do that. And if you feel like you could do it, then it feels like it doesn’t mean as much. Right? It’s kinda like when you watch a YouTuber and you’re like, anybody can start a YouTube channel. Right. Exactly. That’s why we have no respect. My dad had a friend one time and, back long time ago, so, you know, in from 82 to 84 or 81 to 84, we lived out here. We were in. Thousand Oaks. All right. And then we moved to Buies Creek, Carolina. But my dad remained friends with people who were in California, and one of his friends, like, became an artist, and sent, would send my dad paintings, and he sent him a very small canvas. And, of course, you can imagine Jim McLaughlin, first of all, but Jim McLaughlin in 1980, like five, getting this thing. And he was like, my friends are artists now. He calls this one Green Square. And he, like, handed it to us, and it was a red canvas with a green square in it. And that was it. And my dad just had the best time making fun of his friend for that. And it’s like, I kind of feel like that’s where, you know, He calls it Green Square. The closer you get to Green Square. Get this. The harder it is for normal people to appreciate you. Just a little note for all the artists out there. I’m hoping that this is a child though. I’m going with child. – [Rhett] I’m going with child as well. – [Link] Very talented child. Because it’s a painting of children. – [Stevie] It’s a child artist. Wow. – [Stevie] Elisabeth Anisimow. Twins Hannah and Lauren Bernaba. And we’re not sure the year, but. Do we know how old the child is? Currently, she’s 17. And she had her first piece in a museum at 7. Wow. You go, girl. That’s impressive. That’s good. Very impressive. I couldn’t do that. If I dedicated myself fully to it, I felt like maybe I could. I don’t know. I don’t think I could. No, no, that’s special. Alright, next one. They’re whispering back there. Did you run out of art? ((Laughing)) – [Stevie] Yeah. Alright, just do AI for the next one. – [Link] Oh, look at that. This is. What is, is that water and bamboo? – [Rhett] I gotta feel, it feels a little bit like maybe lobby of the Hilton. You know what I’m saying? Like. – [Link] Yeah. Or maybe a second floor hallway. – [Rhett] Embassy Suites, maybe. You know, like, we’re putting this, yeah, right next to the. You’re waiting for the elevator at the La Quinta. Right next to the ice machine. You know what I’m saying? Like, you look at, you look at this while you’re waiting for the ice. Like, ugh, yeah. It’s on every floor. Yeah. I mean, not to throw you under the bus. But it does feel like, it does feel like hotel art. But it is an artist. It is a famous artist. And it’s got a calming effect. Yeah, it does. This is no Green Square, my friend. – [Stevie] Oh, I’m sorry. Stevie. What’s the answer? – [Stevie] Wait? What did you guess? I missed your guess. Famous artist. Famous hotel artist. – [Stevie] It’s a child. Oh, well, okay. Now I regret. – [Stevie] Iris Grace Halmhaw. It’s called Raining Cats, and they started painting at two years old as a form of autistic therapy. Oh, I think there might be a big cat face in there. Is there a big cat face? I think there is, yeah. Do you see the eye? Yeah, and the other eye. And then the nose? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it’s a great work. That’s cool. That’s cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That might, you know, what? Who knows what that’ll end up in? Who knows what hotel chain that’ll end up in? It is very calming. I’m so calm right now. I’m not worked up a bit. – [Stevie] You want another one? Please. Oh, wow. Disturbing cat alert. – [Rhett] I can see the cat in this one. – [Link] That cat is confused about what it should be. I mean, that cat is becoming what? A wellington loaf? The cat has, uh, personhood. You know what I mean? It’s similar to the dog. Uncanny, uncatty valley kind of a thing. – [Rhett] There’s several breads. We’ve got several breads. – [Link] This feels like, there’s a couple bananas that don’t look like bananas either. Plantains, maybe. This feels like a famous artist. This looks like something you’d see. And it looks like. It’s a famous artist. – [Rhett] Does that cat have a watermelon piece for a penis? Or is it ((Laughing)) Just happy to see us? – [Link] You know what? I actually think this is a child because if you look through the crack in that door, I just don’t think any self respecting adult artist would draw a staircase like that. – [Rhett] Yeah, it’s kind of like putting a sun in the corner, which is my thing. – [Link] Yeah. Yeah. No, this is a famous artist. Child. – [Stevie] It’s a famous painter, Fernando Botero. It’s called Still Life with Green Soup. From 1972. But it’s not still life. The cat is not still life. No, the cat’s being very still. The cat moves. Okay. – [Stevie] Well, yeah. I mean, his, signature style is known as Boterismo, and it’s, how the cat is depicted. Like, large and exaggerated volume. Yeah, yeah. – [Stevie] I have one more for you. – [Link] Self-portrait. Toes in tub. – [Rhett] First of all, there’s such a, there’s a photorealism to this that’s very deceptive. Do you know what I’m saying? Like if you look at it the second time, you’re like, oh, it’s almost impressionist. But if you kind of look at it like a little squint eye. – [Link] Yeah, squint eyed. – [Rhett] It definitely just looks like. – [Link] It could look like a photo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It looks like a photo. You ever, you ever, taken a photo of yourself in the bath like that? I don’t get in baths. And, nothing against baths, I just don’t, I’ve never lived in a home that had a bath big enough for me. You’re too big to get in a bath, man. The boy can’t take a bath. Well, Jessie’s been talking about redoing our bathroom, and she’s talking about getting a bath that’ll fit me. A long bathtub? And I was like, well, do you, I mean, you know how big it’s gotta be? You’ll never use it. I don’t think I will. I also don’t, I’m just not much of a bath guy. I went through a stint where I used it a few times. Very hot water. Lots of suds. I had one of those planks, we still do, Christy, like put a plank over it. So it’s kinda like you have like a tray. Like charcuterie. Charcuterie. You just, you charcuterie in the bath. I’d do that now. I’d have a little sausage and cheese in the bath. There’s just something about if you try, if you wanna wash your hair in a bath, the way that you have to shimmy your crotch out to get your head in when you’re tall. Shimmy the crotch out. You know, it’s like, you shimmy the crotch up and out, and the knees are out. In order to submerge the head. Oh, so you’re on your back. I’m on my back. I’m not doing that. Water up the nose. I blow, I expel the whole time. I don’t know about that. I don’t know about your technique. – [Rhett] This is a very gifted child. ((Laughing)) – [Link] This is a moderately gifted adult. – [Stevie] This is a painting by George W. Bush What? Yeah, okay. Is that his own feet? I’ve changed nothing about my answer. George W. Bush painting his own. Yeah, W went through, or started a painting phase after, his presidency. And I guess this is what he looks like in the bathtub. Which is really the most embarrassing part of this. He’s like, I’m gonna paint, I’m gonna paint my feet. ((Laughing)) Look at those feet, I gotta, okay. Give me, what was his wife’s name, Laura? Laura, give me my canvas. Bathe me once, shame on me. Bathe me twice, shame on, shame on me again. You know what I mean, you know what I mean. You know what I mean. – [Rhett] The Mythical Cookbook features fan favorite dishes from GMM and Mythical Kitchen and tons of completely new original recipes Preorder it now at Mythical.com/cookbook
