GMMore 2703: What Is This Boomer Product?

Welcome to Good Mythical More. Can we feel our way into identifying products for boomers? Yeah, you know what? You might be great at this. I’m gonna be great at this. This is one of those things that I’m really good at. You know what we’re both great at? 10 word story. Okay. The. Ferret. Woke. Up. And. Decided. He. Liked. Snazzy. Little. Trinkets. But. He. Always. Wrote. His. Journal. Because. If. He. Didn’t. Write. In. The. Journal. He. Would. Die. And. Rise. Above. Because. Trinkets. Have. Magical. Powers. Now that’s a story. It’s a little short. The ferret woke up and decided he liked snazzy little trinkets, but he always wrote his journal, because if he didn’t write in the journal, he would die and rise above because trinkets have magical powers. Yeah, because he wanted to stay on Earth. He was a savior ferret. He wanted to collect the trinkets, but he didn’t – Want to them to send into heaven. – I love this story that we fabricated. Yeah. Yeah. I think we’ve made the world a better place today. – Yes, we have. – Stevie, do you agree? I… Sounds like it. This is the thing, I went into the wardrobe room this morning and I saw something in there that I can’t stop thinking about and that’s what I’m thinking about right now. Oh, is it my thong? – No, I’ve seen that lot. – Oh. Sorry, I should not have… Hold on, do you know what? – Shouldn’t have admitted that. – Don’t know what she’s talking about. Was it a, was it a mole in a, in a, on his butt cheek? It was the most giant comb I’ve ever seen in my entire life. To, to the point I, I don’t understand. The function of the comb. Have you seen how big my hands are? Go get the… Go get the comb. Where is it? Is it on the shelf? It’s on the shelf in there. It’s on the counter in there. – There’s a backstory. – You’ll see it. There’s a backstory to this comb. I, I must know it. So just hand us the comb when we’re playing the game. It’s gonna come out. Okay, we’ll start with a Boomer product and then we can go to next. Okay. Are we both touching the same product? Yeah. As you can see, we can’t. Let’s bring in… Yeah, okay. Rhett, you can, you can, yeah. Okay, so we’re both holding the same product. Oh, okay. I know what this is. Okay, well, we’re gonna say it on the count of three. Ooh, this is a small one, though. Three! Two. One. – Office chair rolling mat on carpet. – Placemat. Yeah, it’s the type of product that I guess no one really knows the name of cause you both are, you know what it is, but not the name yet. No, I said placemat. Link’s right. He said the thing that you put on the ground underneath the chair. Oh, you thought it was like for the table? No, no, I was, I was thinking mat, but then I said placemat. I couldn’t, I could not describe accurately what I was thinking. It’s a carpet protector. Carpet protector for, especially for w alking, maybe office chairs. It’s not quite hard enough for an office chair. What is even happening? It looks like a Flintstones comb. Do you have it? Like, do you use this productively? I’m so confused. What’s happening here? Stevie. Are you blindfolded? No. This is a special new thing. Okay? It’s called Grow-A-Comb. And it started as a tiny comb and then you feed it. You feed it with the broken dreams of your best friend. And it’s been growing a lot lately. Every time Link loses at that game, it gets bigger. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. He’s going to lose two more times before his streak is over. Um, okay. No, the real story is our wonderful. Hairstylist, Anna, Anna Lynn. Uh, no, you can’t, you can’t just run it through my hair, willy nilly. Um, she brought this — Willy nilly, that would be a good name for a child. She brought this the other day. And she was like, oh, I have something for you. And she broke it out, and it was this giant comb. And she was like, she kind of explained it to me. She basically said, for long hair, like mine, that’s thick and curly, that it was like a really good way to detangle without having to use one of those detangler brushes that’s a lot more like… Getting in there. I haven’t used it yet. – You haven’t even tried it? – You haven’t? – I feel like you should try it now. – No, because like… When I like right now i’ve got the stuff in my hair that makes it curl so I can’t even get it through It’s basically my hair gets very sticky when I put that stuff in so I would have to wet it and do it. So I can’t actually use it. Stevie, do you want to try it yourself? I bet you’ll go through your hair. Well, I mean, I have pretty stick straight hair, so yeah. Well, the, the point is it will go through anyone’s hair ’cause it’s a giant tractor. Yeah. – Accessory. – Implement. I kind of love it. You, you could, you could drive through the tines. Yeah, but hey, listen. She’s never led me astray. That’s true, I love Anna Lynn She’s never gotten me a giant comb before, though. But she has gotten me a lot of things that are actually practical. Right, and it’s like, whoa, really? And then you do it. So I haven’t, I think I gotta do it on my hair as well. For now, it’ll just be in there. I just wanted everyone to see. – It’ll be in there next to my thong. – Crazy. Oh. Oh, I just broke it. I already broke it. – This part right here. – Is there another… What is it? This part right here was attached with a string to this, which is a ball for a boomer? And then this is some sort of a, what is that? A tag? What in the world? This brings back so many… Memories. My mom had this. I’m sure your moms had this. Does it hang on a doorknob? Oh, I know. I know. Does it doorstop? I know. – Is it kitty treats? – Can we guess? Well, Link is guessing this whole time. The needle thing. Yeah. Oh, a needle cushion. Yeah, it’s a pin cushion. I’m taking these off now. Oh, and it’s got a cute little thing. And what did the strawberry. That’s a tomato. What’s the point of the strawberry? Tomato on a strawberry. For other needles. Yeah, different smaller needles. We were talking the other day about how when halloween would come around? I remember my mom going to the going to like Joann’s or Michael’s and getting a costume guide that you would pick your pick your fabric and then use the guide. And then she’d sew my halloween costumes. She live on the prairie? – No, it was just, in the 80s. – You probably had some awesome costumes. I had a lot of awesome costumes, but there wasn’t, the costume, like, retail market wasn’t the same. Good God. You don’t remember that? You just always, you didn’t always buy your costumes? I had vinyl, some vinyl costumes, and then I also, my mama just made me make my own some years. I mean, maybe I’ll just use this. I have several people telling me what the small thing does. It’s got a grainy substance. Yeah. Yeah. It’s a different substance. – It feels like sand. – That sharpens and polishes your pin needles. Oh, wow. Oh that looks good, Link. You are using that comb nicely. Well, that could be your next evolution. This feathers me nicely. Feathers. I mean it’s so effortless right because it’s so big Yeah, it’s like it’s like I’m it’s like I’m being run over by a farm implement. Yeah. Look at that. It’s great. You might need it. Look at the coiffability of this thing. The coiffability here is just off the charts. I think I might be able to just do it right in the front to get the front to stand up. Do you have lice? I’m like vanilla ice. You know the new policy about lice. You don’t have to keep your kid at home. What? Just embrace it. Yeah. I don’t know. We got some email that was like, new policy. If your kid has lice, they can still come to school. It’s highly contagious. Yeah, that doesn’t make any sense. Yeah, but it’s the new policy. You’re not… I think you, it does create a frizzing and smoothing effect, which you may not want. No, no, I want it to be tall. Yeah, pull it forward. Pull it forward some. I’m always looking for that. The volume! No. You can’t just run a comb through a curly man’s hair. I mean, my hair’s so big and thick that I could, I could just leave this in it. Oh, that’s a good look. Can we have, uh, another item? Well, we gotta blindfold first. Oh, I gotta maintain my poof. Gotta go over the poof. Oh, gosh. I, I need to be using this. I mean, for real. Look at this. I’m gonna take your comb. Okay. Ready. Oh, it’s heavy. Wow. Come over here and reach. This is a fake fruit place setting. Goes on the center of your table. Uh, gets really dusty. Whoa! So many grapes! Hard to dust. Hard to dust that thing. You gotta submerge this puppy in water. Did anybody call dibs on this? Yeah, Chessie will be thrilled. It’s very grape. She loves fake grapes. I mean, this is, it’s like going to Greece. Did any of your parents or grandparents have this? Not fake grapes. No, no, no. My G-Ma did. Really? But they were, it was a fake fruit basket with more than just grapes and they were, um, not plastic. They were hard. They were like, uh, rocks. These are, these are hollow. Stones. Stones. These are, these are, I mean, these are very realistic. That looks real. Spray them with a little water. Oh, give them a little morning dew? I know all about fake fruit, yeah. Okay, yeah, do we ever see? If you do a little glycerin in there, you can spray them once and then leave them like that, and they’ll be shiny forever. Wow, Rhett. Glycerin? Yep. You’ll be a boomer before you know it. That’s what that Bush song is about. Glycerin! It’s about spraying fake grapes. Have you seen the video? It’s just Gavin Rossdale spraying grapes. Yep. That’s why Gwen Stefani fell in love with him. And then when he stopped making his grapes slippery, she divorced him. That’s right. And the reason that Blake Shelton got her is because that man can spray a grape like nobody. Uh, he actually glycerines pumpkins. Yeah. Blake Shelton glycerines a lot of things. Glycerine! Glycerin I want Blake Shelton to cover. Glycerin. Glycerin. Glycerin. Glycerine. Glycerine. Okay. Glycerine. That’s like a Weird Al. Weird Al would do glycine and he would do it as Listerine, and I would’ve bought it right up in the eighties. This is a. – This is a thick… – A necklace. It’s a thick wooden, uh, dog tag. Like, Vietnam vet had lost his dog tag out in the, out in the jungle of Viet Cong. He had to make a, um, he had to fashion a new one out of wood. This, it, it wards off evil spirits. Right. Kind of. But it doesn’t ward off the Viet Cong. Sadly, Oh, it’s flat on the bottom. I hope it’s not connected. What connected? I don’t know what it is. It’s an… It’s just a… Connected? Who do you mean? Like connected to the service that it works for? Oh. Oh, this is MetAlert. I’ve fallen and I can’t get up. Oh, yes. Why does it feel like wood? I thought it was total wood.

They still make this or is it just phones now? You have phones. I did push it. Is it blinking? Yeah, it blinked. Oh yeah, we get that. Yeah. What? What? Well, it might be sending a… To who? – But it’s gotta be connected to something… – To the EMS? We did connect over. You did connect it to EMS? Yeah. – Just in case you fell. – For comedy. In case you fell for comedy. Oh, okay. Do you need these now, or do you have phones? That’s the question. Um, yes you do. It’s for older people though.

She didn’t want to inconvenience anybody, so she just lay there on the floor all night. Yep. And then called her daughter at like 7am when she was up. Yep. And then she said she was fine and didn’t go to the doctor. And then a week later she went and she had to you know, her… basically a broken leg. Her femur was displaced. She’s okay now. She had to have surgery. She needed one of these. They could’ve — They put a couple of fake grapes in there and called it a day. And one of those airbags that we tested on the show.

Look at it for real. looks like a, it looks like this is a jet. Or a bird. It’s a jet. It’s a jet plane and it shoots out, shoots out torpedo picks? And there’s somebody in it. There’s a person in the jet. Who do you think it is? It’s a famous, uh, entertainer. In a, in a jet? Yes. Someone who is known for flying jets. Um, Tom Cruise. Nope. Um. Or just planes. Ah.

Oh, so you go like this and one comes out and then if you push hard enough it goes into his mouth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I really like this one. He’s got a toothpick, he can take it right out of a bird’s mouth. You go like this, and if there’s more toothpicks in there, which there surely is. You keep toothpicks at your house? Yeah.
