Welcome to Good Mythical More. If we could go back and have a first date again with our wives. Oh, thanks for clarifying. What would we do? We get to spend all of this money. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. We get probably $15. How much money do we get to spend? 12. 12! We only get to spend $12 on our first date. It’s gonna be the ideal first date. But first, let’s play Think It and Sink It. This is the game that you can play along. every single day on the Mythical Society. There’s a leaderboard, there’s prizes. Well, you don’t play along. You play and then you watch the episode and you’ve predicted what has happened. I meant play along in the broadest sense of play along. Okay. What dish do you think the Mythical Kitchen will make out of tomato cotton candy? What are the, I don’t remember the. A, Caprese salad. B, BLT. C, tomato soup. Or D, spaghetti and meatballs? I think it was B, BLT. Cause there were three different types of cotton candy. Yeah. Actually, you know what? It may have been Caprese salad. Cause it was, that’s also three ingredients. Tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. I think it was that one. I think it was. Were we there for it? Yes. Caprese salad. That’s our answer. What’s your answer? You’ve already answered. Hey! 49 percent guessed correctly. So, that’s, that’s decent when there’s four choices, I guess. Caprese salad! I was right! And, you can, remember you can play along for free. Let’s bring Emily in. Let’s bring a modern woman in. A modern dater. We are, we are antiquated daters. Has some perspective on this situation. So much perspective. So, you can be like, you can be. Oh, thank you. Like a dating consultant for us. Crème brûlée. To get, when we’re getting back on the, we’re getting back out on the scene, hypothetically. We’ll go with our instincts of what we would do. You know, if we had the opportunity to do this. And you just kinda can steer us in the right direction if we seem to be getting off. So you have $12? Yep. And let’s just, let’s just start with like the 5 row, and maybe give us an assessment here of something we might want to choose. You can have like a nice suit and tie outfit. This is the whole outfit column. For $5 you get a suit and tie. Should I go down? I think you should go down, yeah. For $4, dress pants and collared long sleeve shirt. Hate it. Yeah, that’s, this is like church boy. Yeah. $3 khakis and button up short sleeve shirts. The choices here are pretty limiting. $2, jeans and a polo. What the difference here? I mean, jeans and khakis? We got the, we got the prep boys in those, those three middle rows there. – How about what. – Gym shorts? No. And an old T-shirt. How about in this category, translate this into what your version of this outfit would be, right? Like, I might wear jeans and a short sleeved shirt, but I’m not gonna wear this exact outfit. Like, you know, I feel like we gotta. You’re not a caddy. Right, not today. Not yet. This is what you’re limited to, dude. I think $3 is great. You don’t wanna overdress. I’m gonna, I’m gonna under dress a little bit. It depends on what you’re doing. What if you decide that what you actually wanted to do was go to, a private helicopter ride. And then you find you’re in gym shorts and it’s all, nothing lines up. This is what I’m choosing. And I don’t even know the answer to your question. So what are you choosing? I’m not choosing anything until we go through. You have to. Alright, fine, you don’t. Food and drinks, Taco Bell, cheap. Coffee date, a little more expensive, but low commitment, the coffee dates. It’s not really much of a date, right? No. That’s a job interview. Oh, really? I don’t go on coffee dates. Right, because isn’t that what, like? Have you been hired at a coffee shop? No. Isn’t that what, like, online dating. Have you been hired on a date? Like, dating apps turned into, okay, this is my, like, out of touch perspective on this. Because of all these dating apps, people are like, I can you know, obviously you filter people out through the app. And then you need to filter people out a different way. And before you spend money and time on them, you’re going to do something really low commitment, like meet at a coffee shop, and then decide if this is a ten minute thing, or if this is like a ten hour thing. Not what I do. Ten minutes? But isn’t this what a lot of guys do? I think. I don’t let guys pick where the hell we’re going. I like that. We’re not doing that anymore. I usually go do something I want to do anyway. Oh, okay. And then I include them in it. So you in, you initiate the dates at this point because Most of the time, yeah. Okay. Because they were picking places that you didn’t like? Well, I don’t really want to do it. So. You want to do what you want to do. If I pick something I want to do anyway, and then you can hang, then, yeah. And is this happening through apps, or is it happening through word of mouth? Word of mouth! Technically that’s what this is. This is word of mouth dating for me at this point. Have you heard about Emily? She’ll take you on a date to where she wants to go. It’ll be Universal Studios, but okay. No, yeah. Word of mouth. I’m not really doing the apps anymore because I found that it’s just. Yeah. I don’t know. I have no experience, but I can imagine what it’s like for a lady on the apps. Yeah, I’m not much of a reader. So, I don’t wanna. I thought they were picture based. Aren’t they mostly that? Sometimes they write things and you’re like, nah. Oh, so you don’t like a coffee shop? Which of these would you choose? Drinks at a bar, dinner at an Olive Garden. Yes. Steakhouse dinner. Yes. Only if that’s the cantina. If the Taco Bell is the cantina. I’m gonna go ahead and, circle, I’m ready for this now. I’m ready for. I think that. You can circle yours. But I’m not left handed. Oh, no. Drinks. Why are you going for drinks at a bar? Because I feel like coffee date feels like an interview. Drinks at a bar feels like the beginning of any classy date could be, could begin with, but coffee is like, this is definitely like, it feels like, the beginning of a gauntlet. Yeah. Whereas, this is like, you know, a little social lubrication. Social lubrication of alcohol. And then it might lead somewhere else, you know. Yeah. Like a restaurant. Yeah. Yeah, I’m tempted to go with that. I don’t like steak. I want to save my money. Okay. And so, yeah, I think I’m with you on this. I think this is. Okay. Solid. Alright, so, now we’re going to activity, walk in a park, bowling, cooking class, Disneyland, private helicopter ride. Now you already said Universal would be a good date for you. I think Disneyland, you go either way there. I’m not going there, but, you know. You’re just, you’re like an anti-Disney adult? It’s too big! It’s too vast. It’s just like, Universal is nice and small. Okay. Oh. And there’s alcohol everywhere. You can escape. Yeah. There’s a few, Adventureland or whatever that’s called, Pixar Pier has alcohol. Oh, cool. Wait, sorry, at this point you are not wearing clothes, Rhett? Okay, I guess I could go back. You might want to wear some gym shorts. Save your money. I’m going. You could go to Disneyland in gym shorts. There doesn’t seem to be, I’m doing this simply for the money savings. Nice jeans, and a nice polo. Alright, so we’vr picked the same thing so far. You’re copying me on my date. Well, I did drinks at the bar first, bro. My buddy Rhett keeps showing up. Now, here’s the thing about the Disneyland date, though, right? You know, I’m gonna get recognized. It’s gonna get embarrassing. It’s gonna get embarrassing real quick. Yeah. You should go to Universal. I feel like the, the Mythical. Oh, I could get around at Universal. Nobody knows me at Universal. No, they’d know you, but they’d also be like, I’m here to check out the Simpsons. No, what I’m saying is if I was in a situation where I was dating somebody I didn’t know, I would feel like going to a place like that would be like, I’m going here, so I’ll get recognized as part of a ploy. And I just would think that’s, you know, like, but helicopter ride is like, what is this? The Bachelor actual TV show? You know what I’m saying? Yeah. That’s ridiculous. You can’t do that, it’s crazy. I, that’s kinda cool, it’s dangerous. Yeah, that’s all I think is it’s dangerous. You can land in a different place. It’s hard, it’s hard for your date to escape at that point. As a woman, like yeah, getting in a helicopter with someone I don’t know. I don’t know, red flag. I am going with. I like that. I’m going with cooking class. Ew. Bowling. Oh God. Bowling is, I get, I get competitive and I don’t wanna be competitive on a date. Why not? Because I, you know, I’m not my best self. Here’s the only thing about a cooking class. I agree with you, but. Have you ever tried to cook with Jessie while being instructed by someone and a time limit? I mean, I guess you would be. But if it’s like a first date, I’m not gonna do a cooking class with my wife of 23 years. Like putting your arms around, oh, let me put my arms around you and cut something. Right. Could be romantic. I mean, I think that it’s an opportunity. It’s like. Not for you. – No, I’m not choosing it. – With a knife. You get to like make some jokes in a group, you know? You get to show your knife skills, you know, that kind of thing. You know? Yeah. I’m going with bowling, which is actually what Christy and I did on our first date. Yeah. We’re not competitive at all. And, you know. Bumpers up? I got to, yeah, but not, not the ones you’re thinking of. What does that mean? I have no idea. Yeah, he brought his bumpers. The problem is, is if I go on a bowling date with somebody and then they’re not competitive, like totally like. I’m doing, like, I don’t care at all. It goes straight into the gutter every time. Then I just get a little frustrated. But that’s. Cause I want the person to like, want to win, but I don’t want to like get into a competition with them on the first date. But are you the guy that if the girl is just like, show me. Oopsie, I don’t know how to bowl. That’s not attractive to me. No. Works for me. But how are you going to get any bowling done with all the people who are going to recognize you? – Yeah! – And you know what? I should probably just go to a park by myself. Parks are great! I could go on the private helicopter ride, but what if the pilot recognizes me? What if the birds in the sky recognize Rhett? Bowling is great just from a purely practical standpoint, because you get to take the other person in while they’re bowling. Yeah, it’s chill. You have a beer. You mean watch their backside as they bowl. Oh, I see. Yes. I can do that in a cooking class. – No. – Wait, wait. Not as much. Not as much. Alright, so I’ve spent, 2, 4, $7. Nice. And I’ve spent 8. I guess that means. So now we gotta get to, how are we getting around? Are we walking? Are we on Bird scooters? – Are we? – Oh God. Driving your own car? Hiring a driver. Hiring a driver? Well, that’s like an Uber. Horse drawn carriage. Too romantic. I might get recognized by the horse. I thought that said House of the Dragon for a minute. I was like, House of the Dragon. Yes! Hiring a driver. Hiring a driver feels like you’re trying to prove something. Bird scooters, they’re dangerous. Walking could be really fun, but I got money to spend and I like to drive. I’m driving my own car. Hiring a driver is like an Uber. That’s what that means, right? I hired Rhett to be my driver for a Valentine’s date one time. What? When? In high school. I took my, I took my girlfriend on this Valentine’s date. I’m a good friend. You would have never done this for me. You are a good friend. We rode, I rode in the backseat of Rhett’s Dodge Dynasty and we built. Put a curtain up. We built a curtain. I think it was a towel actually, but it was a nice towel. How did you get it up? There was a bucket, thumb tacks. There was a bucket with, sparkling grape juice Sparkling juice in it. I mean, it was a five gallon orange bucket, but. And I, and, so. And I was driving and using. When I picked her up, she was thinking, why is Rhett picking me up for Link’s date? Little hat. He had a hat, and then, he drove us around and. Took you to the Waverly Place. Waverly Place, we went to. The blue, that jazz, jazzy restaurant. It was a jazzy restaurant. That’s really cool. Yeah, we knew how to do it. And then when I came out, you, like, stuffed all your McDonald’s down on the side and, like, you drove us to the movie theater. Yeah, the car, the Dynasty smelled like McDonald’s. We got out again. And this was before phones, so I was literally just sitting in there doing nothing. Like, back in the 90s, when you sat in a car, you just sat in a car. Oh, God. It was the worst. It was one of those things that I think she went back and told her friends and they were like, oh, that’s so cute. But she was like, but, think about actually doing it. No, and you know, she probably tells that story. She’s walking around Disneyland. But especially because in high school the car is the ultimate makeout spot. Right. And if you’re there. There was a towel. It’s a very thick, nice towel. I couldn’t hear anything through it. A thick, nice towel. Yeah. No light. No light. There was none of that happening because yeah, yeah, I just was not comfortable with him in his little hat. On the other side of the towel. Yeah, I don’t know where we came up with that and why we did that. I think it’s adorable. I like to, get an Uber places cause I hate, I don’t drive, I hate being in a car. Oh, I didn’t think about that. I love getting out of a car and just getting out. And being at the place I got to be. You like abandoning vehicles. Yes. Tuck and roll every time I go to a bowling alley. No, I just, it’s the finding the parking. It’s so annoying. I hate it. I really like Bird scooters. They’re fun. Why did you circle walking then? Oh, well, I circled Bird scooter. Bird walking. I’m bird scoot. I like scooting on a scooter, man. I hate those things. And there’s some danger. And then I’ve saved enough money maybe to go straight from the scooter to the helicopter maybe? How much? I don’t think so. Two, four, six, nine. So I have three more dollars. I can, look, I can change outfits in the middle of the. I’m gonna change outfits. You can upgrade and put on khakis. I’m gonna put on khakis halfway through the day. Hey, changing clothes in the middle of a date is actually a power move. Yeah, yeah. You come back with khakis and you don’t say anything about it? Well then you immediately think he had an accident in the bathroom. Where did you get those khakis? I bought them for three dollars. I change in the middle of my dates. Yeah. My best friend is in the car with my other pair of clothes. And a towel because of the mess. Have you spent all your money? Three, six, nine. Yeah. Yep, you spent all your money. I did. Well, no you didn’t. Wait. You have a dollar. You have a dollar? Well. Taco Bell’s a good. I take my gym shorts. Oh, well. Oh, so Rhett has added another pair of shorts. We’ll play a little pick up game. Yeah. At the end of the day. Well, that’s the outfit that you have in elementary school when you have an accident. You go to lost and found, get a little shorts and a T-shirt. Cute. I feel like, I feel like I’m having a good day. I think you both did good. A little bowling, a little scooting. Cooking class sucks. Oh, come on! It sucks. Yeah, she’s right. Don’t make me do work. I’ll be there. On Earth Day and every day, let’s do our part in making it a more Mythical world.
