Welcome to Good Mythical More. We are not “race-ists”, but today we are very interested in races. Races, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s right, Link. I see what you did there. We’re into races. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like. Clarify. Like when you’re trying to get somewhere quicker than somebody else. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. That kind of race. Not like. Yeah. But I am into the human race. That’s right. You know? You know? Yep. Are you done? We all bleed the same. Yep. Just let me know when you’re done and I’ll move on. Yeah, I’m done. No, I’m not done actually. – Okay. – No, I’m done. First, before we get into that, we are going to guess the word. I am a little concerned because when, usually when people say they’re not racist, it means they’re racist. Right, yeah. And I’m realizing that. Yeah, but it’s usually when they’ve been accused of being. And I haven’t And then they’re like, I’m not racist, but you just began a whole video by saying that. Right. And it was just a wordplay joke for me, but, I scratched the whole thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Scratch it. I’m sorry. Scratch it. I’m sorry for. It’s still here, but scratch it. Like, I’m. Right, right, right. I wouldn’t, if I had to do it again, I wouldn’t have said it. That’s the cool thing about life. You know the cool thing about editing. No second chances. That it could have been cut out. There are no second chances. Okay. Welcome to Good Mythical More. Today we are going to be educated about different. Races. Races. You did it again. And we’re going to, pick which one we think. we would want to participate in. Yeah. I don’t know if you get to choose that. You got anything else you wanna say? Don’t drag me into this. Yeah, go on. What does formication mean? So is it? It’s like fornication but an M. Formication, this is. This is when you have sex with just a shape. Yeah it is. Just a shape. I’m into, I’m really into shapes. Sexually. More of the smooth ones, like cylinders. What’s your favorite shape? Cylinder. Really? I was gonna say triangle. Well, pointy. You could get, you could get, you could pop your balloon on any of those edges. Okay, you’re not, you’re not, you’re not picking up what I’m laying down. An upside down triangle. I’m picking up what you’re laying down, but, oval. Okay, okay. Here we are. Still here. Formication is the sensation that resembles the feeling of small insects crawling on your skin. The word comes from the Latin formicatio, which means crawl like an ant. Yeah, yeah, I’ve had some formication before. Oh, your skin crawling with ants. I had formication quite a bit in North Carolina over the summer, when I was, when I had my yellow jackets incident. Yep. And so, because I knew that there were bugs in the house, and they might be, like, in my bed. I kept thinking that there were things crawling on me because I knew that there were insects getting into the house. So I was having serious formication. So, were you dreaming of formication? That’s one way to put it, yeah. Okay. Pre, it wasn’t pre, it wasn’t pre marital, though, because I’m married. Post marital formication. Alright, Stevie, help us. Help us. Oh, I thought, yeah, okay. Let’s talk about the different races. And we’ve already clarified what that means. First race. Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling Race. Okay. It is in Gloucester? I’m sure that’s not how you actually say it. Maine? Maine? The UK. “Glouch”. The original one? You know, it’s probably like. Gloucester, it’s where to do the cheese rolling. Chase a nine pound wheel of double Gloucester cheese. Better to chase it, than it chasing you, aye? They chase it down the hill and it’s crazy. Let’s see it. Do we have a clip? Yeah. – These dudes are. – Oh look, what are? They’re nuts. Watch. They’ll be, they’ll. Is it slow motion? No, they’ll just roll over each other like it’s Like it’s. Are they trying to get the? Yeah, they’re trying to get the cheese. They’re trying to get the cheese and there’s. They put a camera on the cheese. Oh, that guy has a nice technique. He bumped off his butt again and again. There’s a lot of guys that start doing basically just like endless cartwheels. People always break their arms. Oh, gosh. It’s not my kind of thing. People always break their arms? People always get pretty badly hurt, yeah. Okay. Somebody does. Somebody does. They might get their teeth messed up. So is the question of whether or not I want to do that or anything else? Whatever the other option is. Yeah, yeah, what’s the nice option? Well, you’re gonna rank them. Next one is, well, I think you know the answer here. Krispy Kreme Challenge. Yes, we have this one. In Raleigh. Competitors run a 2.5 mile course through downtown Raleigh to a designated spot where they have to eat a dozen donuts and then run back. And if you puke, you are disqualified. I could do this. Five miles? I should do this. No, Rhett. I mean, I would do, throwing up is so much easier than breaking an arm. Yeah, yeah. You know what I’m saying? If you’re choosing between these two. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don’t think you would throw up though. I don’t think I would. A dozen donuts is like this much dough when you, when you squish it all down. Would you smush it down before you ate it? Or let your stomach do the smushing? Because. I don’t know, I’ve eaten a dozen donuts just on my own before. But I wasn’t running. Yeah, have you already run two and a half miles? I would need some training. I would need some training, but this is just carb loading. Pre, you know, mid-race. It’s car bloating. Okay. These look like. – We are sticking with. – Smaller gentlemen in the, in the photo than. Than me? The six foot seven situation. They don’t look. Yeah, I might be the tallest guy. They don’t look like they have the eating capacity. Yeah. You need, we got, we gotta get rid of the cheese rolling. No broken arms for us. Oh, I also, I forgot we, this is, we have a chart of if you won Rhett, we also looked for the, for your strongest format. Into a bar chart and it’s international. So that was so fun before. I just feel like we should look at it now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just for educational purposes. All right. So you took an early lead 11 to 6, 15, 17 to 8, 21, 24 to, okay. Got a couple. That’s rough, Link. That’s. I’m just not moving at the same pace. – And you know. – That’s rough. The, the, the tortoise wins in the end though. He sure does. He sure does. We got to do this show for a long time. For you to catch up. You have more than doubled me. You’ve lapped me. Wow. Wow! You’ve come back around and I feel like we’re competitive again. But here’s the thing, you beat me at the game of predicting bar charts. So these bar charts don’t even matter. Yes I did. And, they don’t. Man Against Horse Race in Prescott, Arizona. Endurance horses and their riders compete alongside runners. on the same course at the same time, three different races. How’s that even a challenge? I thought this was, it says there’s three different races, a 50 miler. Yeah. A 25 miler, and then a half marathon. So here’s my theory, my semi educated guess about this. So humans are actually considered to be one of the most efficient long distance animals. And I think that obviously a horse is going to do better up to a certain point. Fifty miles is a long ways. But I think that a horse. Unless you’re a cowboy. Some horses might end up getting tired before like a super marathon runner. I would be willing to venture to guess that maybe the 50 miler is won by a person. But this is just a semi educated guess because I was actually listening to a podcast recently where they were talking about how one of the, so humans are so efficient at walking that like historically, like hunter gatherers, what they would do is they would chase a lot of big game that was much, much faster, but humans just would never stop, and eventually a lot of the big game that was hunted by hunter gatherers, it would just get so tired it would stop, and then they would just go up and kill it. Wow. Just walk right up to it? Just walk right up to it, so, cause it gets exhausted in a way that humans don’t. Tortoise and the hare, baby. I mean, I think for the half marathon, I don’t know. No way a horse is gonna lose a half marathon. Do you know any results? We’re looking. I mean, I would. It looks like the 50er is the humans. I would ride a horse, but I wouldn’t run in this race. You would ride a horse for 50 miles, and we were there at your first end only? One of two horse experiences? You gotta get a good saddle, man. Well I could, I could train, like. Why don’t they make really, really padded saddles? I can ride, I can ride a bike and it doesn’t hurt my butt. Why don’t they just have like super padded saddles? I can get over that. Like, serious question. Because you get used to, because you need to be able to feel the horse. No, for people who are just like, hey, I’m just doing this today. I’m riding 50 miles just today. Give me the pads. I don’t, might be too hot on the horse. So you’re saying the 50 miler, the person does win? I think so. The results are very oddly. Because you can’t tell the name, you can’t tell the difference in the names. Oh, oddly charted. Yeah. I think a horse made this webpage. I’m having a hard time following it. Okay. Oddly charted is, is my who I’m picking for the Kentucky Derby. I think. I think I’m sticking with Krispy Kreme on this one. It’s a fun little challenge. I’m not running 50 miles. In Arizona? That’s right. Heck no. School Bus Figure Eight Racing. It’s in Florida. School buses race on a figure eight shaped track. So they can hit each other? Yes. It’s a. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Yeah, it’s like a demolition derby. They’re gonna hit each other. Don’t you, don’t you worry. The hooters are gonna collide. Here we go, here we go. Is that a person? No, that’s part of the bus. Yeah. It’s a fender of the bus. – At first I thought. – Is that a school child? At first I was like, yes, I want to do this. But then when I realized that the track crosses itself. That’s fine. I just want to watch it. Where does this happen? Florida. Okay. You can eat donuts in the, in the bus. While you’re, while you’re sitting there banging another bus, you know? Legitimately though. Like, if you had to actually commit to doing one of these physically, not for the entertainment value, but just for, like, your own life? Yeah. No way I wouldn’t pick the Krispy Kreme thing. Come on, man. Take a ride. I could do the Krispy Kreme thing. Like, it’s not gonna complicate my life to vomit in Raleigh. Right. You know what I’m saying? Right. Been there, done that. Actually, not really. Sadly, no. We’re due for a little vomiting in Raleigh. We’re due for vomiting in Raleigh. Alright, so we’re going to get rid of the bang bus, and we’re going to bring in the boom. There you go. That was the joke that was waiting. Boom beer can regatta? Yeah. The Darwin Lions Beer Can Regatta in Darwin, Australia. It’s an annual family fun event. Yeah. Established in 1974, where people race boats they’ve made from cans. Oh, okay, let’s see. We got our guy in the back, Brian, he’s a boat builder. Builder. Brian in the back is a boat builder. Of course they have to drink all of this beer in order to justify making these haphazard. Now, I, sorry, this is the. Sorry, Raleigh. I’m into this. I don’t think anybody’s gonna get hurt. I love Australia. I wanna go back. Yep. I’m with you, man. Let’s get rid of this, man. I love Krispy Kreme. I’m in Raleigh relatively often. BYOB! We went back to the Man Against Horse Race. Carney has found some. Alright, we’re going back to that. Interesting. Man Against Horse. We have new information. This is a different man versus horse race. This is not the one in Arizona. So I guess there’s multiple ones. But in an actual marathon, past one, two, three, four, five, six years, a horse has won. Oh no, no, I take that back. 23, 22 is a human. And before that was horses. So it’s kind of a toss up. Wow. And the difference ranges anywhere between 27 minutes, a horse won by 27 minutes once, and a human won by 9 minutes once. Oh. So, you know, anyone’s game. That is crazy, but people can run marathons in, like, a little over two hours, right? Like, if you’re, like, top, top in the world? That’s crazy. And then if you go for the 50, I do think it’s, according to your, your podcast listening, it’s more likely. At some point, the human becomes more efficient. We have another horse one here, though. This is the Pantomime Horse Grand National Race in Birmingham, England. You just act like a horse? A charity fundraising event in which competitors in a horse slash jockey costume combo, raced along Broad Street jumping over hay bales and here’s a video. It’s a person riding a horse? Riding a person? Nope. It’s a person dressed as a, yep, that’s what you said. Not very convincing because y’all got the horses on the side. Yeah, y’all gotta. You gotta keep the horse in front. That should be a rule. You can’t sidearm the horse. The jumping is hard, apparently. I’m just not prepared to look this stupid. I mean, haven’t I made that clear again and again on this show? Yeah, we wanna get into a boat made out of cans in Australia. We don’t wanna look stupid. We’re gonna sail off into the sunset in a boat that’s definitely gonna sink. Okay, here’s one that involves cans. Oh, great. Cans versus cans. The Great British Beerathon. Okay. London, five mile slobstacle course through London. Along the way, runners face different slobstacles from drink a lager and eating a Cornish pasty to hug a stranger. I’m willing to do all of those. This looks fun. For a time. Yeah, this is kind of about, to me, this is more about where do you want to go? Like where do you want to hang? I have a. Where’s the place that they do the cans in Australia? Darwin. Darwin is, I think that’s more of an isolated part of Australia. I do want to go back to Australia because I want to scuba dive the great barrier reef before it’s dead. Before it’s not so great? Yeah. Who’s with me? Yeah, man, Darwin is not near. I’ll go. Anything. Is it over there next to Perth? It would kind of be fun to go out there where there’s not much. It’s just like you’re going out there to build a raft. I’m sticking with it. Yeah, definitely. We’ll see you in Darwin. You ready for this year’s Good Mythical Evening?
