Welcome to Good Mythical More. We have a stack of some of, and in fact, the oldest joke in recorded history. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. So we got all these old jokes. Prepare to laugh. We’re gonna see how funny they are today. Oh, oh, sorry. Ow. Ow. Well, I mean, just coming down, it’s like, it is like the, the railroad gate coming down. You do that every time. Do Yeah, yeah, yeah. The railroad gate came down. You normally do that down. I saw a, a video recently, the railroad gate came down and a person had pulled in front of it, and then they realized that a train was coming and they just started backing up and they hit the railroad gate, which you could drive through if you wanted to. But then they were like, oh, I guess I don’t want to damage my car. So they got out of their car and the train just ran over it. I saw that too. But the beginning part is the truck behind them slammed into the back of them. Oh, missed the beginning, which caused them to do that. I missed the beginning. So I think they were just like, context is king. Let’s check a voicemail. Um, I told my therapist about you guys, um, and she didn’t know who you were and I had to explain and it was embarrassing, so she wanted to apologize to me. I would understand. Okay, love you. I’ve had a, a few years of therapy, so I will say I’m sorry. I, I am sorry that that happened to you. Um, and uh, thanks for sharing. That’s what you’re supposed to say. Yeah. Thanks for sharing, for opening up like that. I wonder what they were, what they might have been saying. We’re talking to the therapist about, about us. Well, any guesses? Uh, how about. I like to watch good mythical mourning as a way to Yeah. Deal with the, the world. Yeah. I’m, I’m obsessed with it. No, I can’t go without it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. And that’s, I don’t see any problem with that. Alright. Link here it is, the oldest joke in recorded history. I’m sure they told some jokes before this. We’ve been around for a couple hundred thousand years, but where’s, where’s it from? Context is king. Ancient, so 1900 bc Okay, so the world’s oldest recorded joke? Mm-hmm. When like, okay, I don’t think they have recording equipment, but you know what we mean? Well writing, you know what I mean? Like audio recording something which has never occurred since time immemorial. A young woman did not fart in her husband’s lap. It’s a fart joke. Oh yes. My faith in humanity is restored. Okay. Okay. Okay, so there’s a double negative here and I’m gonna take, I’m gonna take the negative out so I can make it make more sense to myself. Well, lemme, I know something. I’ve heard it. I can, which has occurred since time. Time Immemorial. Immemorial. A young woman farts in her husband’s lap, so it’s like all the women are farting in their husband’s lap now. That’s funny. A young woman farts in her husband’s lap. I think if somebody farted, scandalous, I think this would, that’s be Victorian be, this would be funny. If somebody farted in their husband’s lap and you were there and you were like, don’t worry. That’s been happening since time immemorial. It’s really more of an encouragement your wife ever farted in your lap? No. As seems as if maybe you’ve experienced this. And you’re not alone since time immemorial? No, I don’t think it’s ever happened. I don’t, she always, I I actually see her run over and get in your lap. Quite a few. Is that for that reason? No. No. That’s just ’cause she loves me. Can we make this funnier in like, um, like, you know, in modern, modern parlet. Okay. Well, let’s see. We’ve still got women, we’ve still got farts. We’ve still got laps. Yep. Let’s see if, um, uh, don’t ever, yeah. Have you ever, uh, yep. There you go. Keep Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You’re on a, a great start. Don’t ever have you ever, um, I’m not much of a joke teller. Don’t ever have you ever, don’t ever, have you ever, have you ever, you ever, um, uh, have you ever heard of fart? Uh, have you ever heard of, uh. Have you ever seen a woman, a young woman fart? This joke went over like a, like a, like a, like a, a young woman’s farting. Her husband’s lap. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What about try, try like a knock, like a knock, knock, a knock, knock joke. Yep. Oh, yeah. Get, try it. Knock, knock on me. Knock, knock. Who’s there? Young woman on your lap. Young woman on my lap. Who? I thought you could say young woman on your lap. Who farts. Well, I made a, I made a choice. Yeah, I mean, you try it. Oh, I’m just gonna tell it the way I just said it though. Try not, not knock, knock. Who’s there? Young woman on your lap, young woman on your lap. Who? Young woman on your lap who farts. All right. This is, uh, 11 B have 1100 bc Okay, so a little in, in Egypt, very recent. This is Egypt. Uh, we think there’ll be a cat in this or a sun. God, I’m not trying to, I don’t think those were funny. A woman who is blind in one eye. Okay, here we go. Here we go. I love it. I love it when they start like that. That’s better than something walking into a bar. A woman who was blind in one eye has been married to a man for 20 years. Okay? Nice setup. When he found another woman, he said to her, I shall divorce you because you are said to be blind in one eye. Have you just discovered that after? I didn’t read it beforehand. When he found another woman, he said to her, I shall divorce you because you are said to be blind. And why not? Have you just discovered that after 20 years of marriage discovered that after 20 years of marriage, have you just discovered that after 20 years of marriage, he’s not familiar with like ancient Egyptian stuff? Don’t worry. When he found another woman. Oh, he see, I thought he said to her, not the other woman, to his wife. See, this isn’t, this isn’t, it’s not written right. She’s, she goes back to him when he found another woman, he told his wife, yeah, I’m gonna divorce you because you are said to be blind in one eye. Yeah. To which she replied. Yeah. Have you just discovered that after 20 years of marriage? Yeah. Yeah. Now let’s make it like this. Knock, knock, who’s there? Uh, a woman who’s been blind in one eye for 20 years. For 20 years. A woman who’s been blind in 20 years, who? It’s so hard, y’all A woman. It’s not hard. A woman who’s a woman who’s been blind in one eye for 20 years. What? Who? A woman who’s been blind in one eye for 20 years. Who, who is getting divorced? Because her husband is marrying a new woman. Hey, so what, what, what would’ve been funny about this? A woman who, well, it’s funny as another wife joke, is the only thing they found funny was wives, but the. But I think there’s something just here waiting to be said that wasn’t said, which is a woman who is blind in one eye has been married to a man for 20 years. When he found another woman, he said to his wife, I’m gonna divorce you because you’re blind in one eye. And she was like, I, I’ve been blind this whole time. No. To which she replied, apparently you are too. It at least makes sense, but it’s not funny. I don’t know if they had shoulda that kind of irony because apparently he’s also blind because that’s what it, have you just discovered that after 20 years is they didn’t quite get there? Well, they had many years. Yep. To get to this point, just think about the jokes that they’ll be reading in 3000 years from now Link. Those guys are funny. Maybe one of ours will get in there. I. One of our jokes, this is from ancient Greece. Okay. Three to 400 ad, so we have crossed over into an domini. Mm-hmm. An intellectual came to check in on a friend who was seriously ill when the man’s wife said that he had departed the intellectual, replied. When he arrives back, will you tell him I stop by? Okay. Alright. I understand wordplay that still works. I understand why this is funny. He’s departed, which could mean well. Tell him I stop by. Knock, knock. Who’s there? De departed. Uh, departed. Um. The party guy, departed guy who? Party guy. Not, not. Who’s there? Not. And just start over. Knock, knock, knock, knock. Who’s there? Well, no, you get me to, let’s start over. Knock, knock. Who’s there? Uh, the doctor. The doctor who? The doctor. That’s a good who’s, who’s here to see the departed. Oh, he is gone. We’re still in ancient Greece around the same time. A sharp wit observes a slow runner. I know just what that gentleman needs. He says, what’s that? Demands the sponsor of the race. He needs a horse. Otherwise, he can’t outrun the competition. This is a bit of a dad joke, a slow runner. I could see, I could see my dad when I was a kid making a joke about this. I know what that guy needs a horse. You know what I’m saying? Like he’s like running real fast, but kind of slow. It’s more, it has, it has to be more situated. You know what? That guy needs to be a better runner. A horse like that is kind of funny.

I usually don’t laugh at my own jokes like that. Was it usually, that’s the best part. You usually have more composure than this. Mm-hmm. Uh, yeah. You know, uh, the other day I was, uh, I was downtown and a professional beggar had been letting his girlfriend think that he was rich and of noble birth. Yeah. Uh, once, uh, when he was getting a handout at the neighbor’s house, he suddenly saw her. He turned around and said, have my dinner clothes sent here? Yeah, knock, knock. Have my dinner clothes sent here. Can you explain that? So gimme a second. So he had been telling her that he was a rich and noble birth, but he was getting a handout at the neighbor’s house. His girlfriend witnessed this and he was like, oh, have my dinner clothes sent here. I don’t, I don’t, I don’t understand. Alright, I’m, I’m gonna try this one. Try this. Alright. Safe. Hey, hey, see, save us. See, leave it to the professionals buddy. Go get a drink. Get this guy a drink. Kick him out. Alright. Uh, are you here alone? Do you have a date? She’s in the bathroom. So she’s in the bathroom. Uhhuh, Uhhuh. I might go in there and let her fart on my lap. Okay. Okay, sir. Just to, all right. Just to get out of this situation. Oh, okay. Um. So an incompetent astrologer. Yeah. Okay. All right. There you go. It’s kinda redundant. An incompetent astrologer cast a boy’s horoscope and said he will be a lawyer then a city official than a governor. But when this child died, yeah, the mother confronted the astrologer. She said he’s dead. Oh, the one you said was gonna be a lawyer and an official and a governor. Yeah. And then. The astrologer replied by his holy memory. If he had lived, he would’ve been all of those things. Oh man. If he wouldn’t have died, he’d have been all those things. Oh yeah. He was gonna be those things by his holy memory. I think there’s a, you know what, I think there’s kind of a modern version of this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, he was gonna be those things, you know? It’s like he’s, it’s all in the delivery. And astrologer kind of threw me off. ’cause I was thinking astronomer. Oh yeah. Well that’s easy. That’s an easy mistake of me the whole time. I was picturing somebody looking at a telescope, astrologer. Is that something we say now? Astrologer? Uh, just to wrap this, uh, wonderful time up that we’ve had together, I do wanna let you know, uh, we have rece, we we received confirmation of something, right? Nick, from your, from your dad, we’re not gonna talk to him. Are we gonna talk to him? Um, we can try. Okay, we’re gonna try to call, okay. Nick’s dad, he actually has firsthand information to confirm or deny the thing that we explored in the main episode today. He, he manufactured, um, food products. He worked on, like in manufacturing process of food products. If he doesn’t answer, we’ll just let Nick tell us what he’s told him. He apparently he’s on a business call. Somebody’s working. Hello? Hey, is this Nick’s dad? This is. Oh, great. This is Nick’s boss. I know this is Link and, uh, rat’s here too. And, and, uh, just fair warning. The entire internet can hear you. Yep. Or at least the portion that chooses to listen. Excellent. Excellent. Well, it’s good. Good to, uh, good to hear from you guys. Yes. Um, now we have been told that you have some experience that might be pertinent to a question that we just explored in the main episode. It’s your, your, the work you’ve done with Girl Scouts. Yes. Tell us about the, your background in that arena. Sure. So, um, I worked for a company that is the, uh, that owns, uh, a BC Bakers who, um, uh, you know, is the, uh, licensed or contracted from, uh, girl Scout USA to manufacture, uh, girl Scout cookies. And there’s one other, uh, bakery that is authorized to, uh, make those products and that’s little Brownie Bakers. Okay, so, uh, so my experience was I ran an operation, uh, that makes those, uh, the, uh, the Girl Scout cookies for a BC Bakers. But did you also sir, make imitation Girl Scout cookies on the same line? So in some cases they were similar, formulated differently, but very similar, but made at the same place, but made at the same place. Oh, so they had to change part of it on per, why didn’t they just make it exactly the same? Uh, the formulas are typically owned by the customer. So in that case, girl Scouts owns, uh, the formula and dictates what that needs to be. So how, and there were some, uh, yeah. How di So it had to be different, but how, so how, how close could it be? Could it be so close that two internet guys would like get at each other’s throats over it? Potentially, yes. In some cases it would be very hard for you to tell. Well, very hard. Well, for some people maybe. Okay, so this does, okay, this puts a few wrinkles. Okay, this puts a few, I told you they were wrinkles. This puts a few wrinkles in it because you don’t make, you don’t make sunflower butter cups, do you? I’ve never heard of those. Yeah, yeah. Don’t worry about it. No, don’t worry about it. But you don’t make anything for Trader Joe’s specifically? We don’t. Okay. But here’s the thing, so what we have determined is that yes, there can be the same company that is manufacturing things that are very much alike, but different. But what is not the case is that it is the same. I think most of the time when people are making this claim, they’re like, it’s the same thing. It’s just they put it in a different package. Right. Isn’t that what you usually hear? Yeah. Right. And I’m just saying, well, that’s not the case. It’s a different thing in a different package, but it might be made from the same. In the same place. And that’s okay. We can live with that. We, I can live with that. We can live with that. Okay. One more question for you. So, so I could, I could actually give you one other piece of perspective on that. Oh yes. In a lot of cases we’ll take it because you’re, because you’re, ’cause you’re right. In both circumstances there are private label cookies where all they do is change the outer wrap to the customer specified wrap and the cookies are identical. Oh, private. So am I throwing a wrinkle in? Okay. We can’t take this. We don’t, we don’t mind the wrinkles. So you’re saying what you’re saying that somebody makes a cookie and then licenses it to a brand That, and they don’t, the brand doesn’t own the formula. Abs in, in, in some cases. So Girl Scouts is a bit of a different. Situation, but lemme give you an example. There are all the stores, there are Dollar General, there are Kroger’s. They could all be purchasing cookies from the same supplier. Mm-hmm. And the formula could be identical. The May, you know, meaning the, the cookie’s the same. There may be. 18 in a pack for one, there may be 12 in a pack for another. The label, the outer wrap labor will be unique and approved exclusively by that customer or store. But have you seen, like bigger brands participate in this type of shenanigan? Uh, you know the big brands, you know, you know, in baking if you sell cheese, Mondelez, Nabisco, general Mills. They’ve got, they do not participate in that at all. Right, exactly. Right. They stay above board. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay. Yeah, this has been, this has been very enlightening. Thank you for, thank you, Nick’s dad for, for getting off your call. One more question though. Sure. Knock, knock. Uh, who’s there? The youngest man who hates his dead wife? Man who hates his dead wife who? Man, who hates his dead wife, who sleeps well. Thank you so much. Boy, we, I mean, you talk about investigation. We did it. We got the bottom of it. We hung up on it. Bottom of it, we’ll send you a dollar. Watch, season 2 episode 5 of Roll for Mythicality now at rollformythicality.com.
