GMMore 2828: We Build Our Perfect Weddings

Welcome to Good Mythical More. Boy, if we had to do it all over again and get remarried, what would we do if we only had $10? We’d spend it on these things. And these things cost what they cost on this grid. Or maybe this is a vowel renewal ceremony. Vowel. Vowel. Vowel. Vowel. My commitment to using the vowels is now rejuvenated. Even Y. But first we found a new movie that we really enjoyed the other night together. Yeah. Murder at the Sockhop. Murder at the Sockhop. Murder at the Sockhop is so, it’s so good. It’s not exactly what you would think it would be. It’s not based in the fifties. Right. It’s based in the forties. It is in the forties. ‘Cause actually sock hops started in the forties, but became popularized in the fifties. It’s a Ken Burns film. Yeah. It’s mostly just the slow zooming in on pictures, which is our favorite type of film. Of socks that are bloody. ‘Cause some people are feet people, you know. Not us. Other people are sock people. And then some people are bloody sock people. Inside every bloody sock there’s a bloody foot. Not necessarily, Rhett. If you step, if you’re at a sock hop and there’s a murder and you just, you dance in it. In my experience, if you step in blood in a sock, it gets your foot bloody, too, it makes it through. What kind of socks do you got? I’m just saying your foot’s not injured. Hey, I didn’t want this movie to come between us. There was a B story where one foot got injured and it was bleeding from the inside of the sock and it added a little interest. But not enough to keep talking about it. To keep talking about it. So we have a location, we have a food at the reception. We have what we’re gonna do for fun for guests, and we have where we’re gonna go on our honeymoon. Those are the four different categories in which you can choose. Now, and of course we have $10 to spend and we have the experience of a lifetime of a wedding that worked. So why change it? Well, I also have to say that we recently put on a wedding for a couple, for several Mythical Beasts, couple of couples. A beautiful, beautiful time. It took, they are still married. Yep. Yeah. All these days later, still married. We’re checking in on ’em every day. Well- And y’all still married? Well, we got to witness it. And the Mythical Crew that was participating got to witness it. But if anyone else wants to see it, they can watch it. Comes out tomorrow. And we did, we pulled out all the stops to marry these two couples. There were no stops visible anywhere. We pulled ’em all out. Yeah. Yeah. ‘Cause we, only starts, and holes where the stops used to be. We spent a little bit more than $10 on that one. We legitimately got ordained. We legitimately gave speeches. At one point in my life I thought I might get ordained, but I didn’t realize it would be- In this way. To marry at least one lesbian couple. Yep. So far. I’m proud of that. I’m proud of that. I invite you to go over to the Mythical Society and do what Stevie says. Yeah, perhaps a little, you know, just ’cause today’s just a fun day, like here’s just a little sneak peek. Oh, what? Love is in the air. I might cry already. Hey man. Hold it together. And believe me when I say officiating today is truly an honor. Everybody knows I love lesbians. I don’t know where they’re going on their honeymoons, but if you watch the Mythical Society, you might can guess. Watch it on the Mythical Society. Okay, something that has changed about me as I’ve gotten older is when I got married the first time, I didn’t know how much I liked botanical gardens. Oh my goodness, there’s a reason why that’s in the most expensive range. This is the best place to get married. It’s the best place. Period. Botanical gardens, I will spend as much time as anyone wants me to spend there. The one in Atlanta that we spent a lot of time in. Oh, beautiful. And the best part about that is I had to call in to the court for a legal matter. I wasn’t there for that. While I was in that botanical garden. It sort of colored the experience a little bit. Oh yeah? Not anything that I did. Let me just say that. Just something that I had to be in court for. Long story. Yeah. I also had to be in court. You were there, but you weren’t with me. I was at my son’s middle school graduation. But I was on the phone, don’t worry. In phone court with me. Yeah, yeah. During a graduation. What a beautiful botanical garden that is with a big lady. There’s a big lady there. Oh, she’s so beautiful. You get married under that lady? No, I’m talking about the lady at the information desk. I’m not talking about the, I’m talking about the big lady at the information desk. I love her. Who tells you where to go to see the big lady that’s made outta plants. Oh. I just love them. Did you see any nursing mothers? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have an eye for them. I just, I, feel free to nurse in a botanical garden. I just think that that’s, you should feel free to do that. It’s like the cycle of life. You’ve got the pollination happening. Right. And then, yeah. Everybody gets thirsty at the botanical garden. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don’t think any nursing mother needs to be relegated to a dark corner of some place. Just to nurse. I don’t believe in the nursing rooms. They have those at churches. We don’t need those. If anybody should be out and about, it should be women nursing. My second favorite thing in life behind botanical gardens is nursing women. Yeah. Everybody knows you love nursing women. Say it. Everybody knows I love nursing women. Can I get a mug too? He meant it. He meant it. See, we got two corners on the female population here. Uh-huh. Oh god! So there’s probably some sort of society that I can join. You could probably be married by a Methodist minister who was nursing. And the ironic thing is that I never breastfed, which is to be an advocate for something that I missed out on. Maybe it kind of makes sense. It’s my origin story. Yeah. The reason I’m so passionate about it’s ’cause I never got to experience it. You think the people who were trying to save the black rhinos killed black rhinos? Of course not. Maybe. Okay. What location are you gonna do? Beach weddings suck. Never do that. Whoa now! Never do that. You know, but well- Never do ’em. You think it’s gonna be good, it’s always bad. My dad would beg to differ. Oh gosh. Course it was his fourth. Well, he had to mix it up after a while. You know, it’s like, where, what other type of place can I have a wedding now that it’s my fourth? The acoustics are bad on a beach. Everything gets lost in the wind. He live streamed it. There’s sand. What? There’s internet at North Myrtle Beach. They got internet on the beach? They got married on the beach that they now live. They got wifi on the beach in North Myrtle Beach. That’s right. Yeah. Myrtle Beach. I think. Where am I gonna go? They bury the routers? They bury the routers. Yeah. Hmm. I just blew four 40% of my money on the botanical garden because I can’t say no to one. I really like the beach, but, I don’t know, at this point in my life, a church will be a destination wedding. I get it, man. I get it, ’cause you don’t go very often. Come on guys. That was funny. That was, did it hurt or something? Yeah, it hurt my feelings. Is everybody doing something else all of a sudden? I’m like- All these people are getting married in churches. You know that. I’m smashing out with the church jokes. Oh. Sorry, we are working on your 30 seconds of mystery. But it may not happen now, but it may happen eventually. Let us know when it happens. In the meantime, I’ll be doing what we’re doing. It may happen. I think I’m going with the church for $2. And I’m gonna circle that over here even though I’m looking over there. So that’s what I’m doing. So- Cacaw! I can’t see you! Coochie coochie coo! What did you say? I can’t see you. You can’t see? The eagle said “I can’t see.” Coochie coochie coo. Hello, boys. , cacaw, cacaw! Cacaw, cacaw? Yeah. Yeah. Now do you see why we weren’t paying attention? ‘Cause y’all are lining up some big shots. Wait, wait. Okay, so what, you were upset, you said some really funny things and I didn’t laugh at them. Is that why you were upset Link? He said if you had- I’m not upset anymore. Do you want me to repeat it? Yeah, yeah. Repeat. He said, “At this point, if I had a wedding at a church, it’d be a destination wedding.” See that? That was an authentic laugh from Stevie. Long one. Thank you. Food is important. Food, I could take it or, taco guy’s fine with me. I’m saving all my money for something else. I don’t know what it is yet. Surf and turf is a lot. I mean, if you have as many people as we know at our wedding, I mean we… I actually feel like taco is- 400 people, might even been 600 people. Four or 600 people were at our wedding. You know how many I had? How many of ’em did I love? I beat you on that. Probably 14. You beat me? 700. 700? You had 700? We’ve had this conversation. I know we have. I had 649. I don’t, I haven’t cataloged your invitees to your wedding over time, so I am shocked. It was inviting everyone from the town. I didn’t know half of them. It’s a town wedding. A town wedding. Caricature artist? The dentist’s daughter is getting married. Everyone goes to the wedding. That’s how it works in small towns. Where did you, where was it? Where’d you fit 700 people? Fuquay-Varina Baptist Church which was not our church. It was like a megachurch situation? I wouldn’t call it a megachurch. No. It was packed at that capacity, if I recall correctly. Including the balcony. I’m gonna go with the taco guy. I’m really liking that. Oh, I’m going taco. No doubt. This is Cali vibes. Surf and turf, I would do that, but it’s just, it’s too much money. I can’t do anything else. And taco gives you everything that you need in a meal. Mac and cheese is just a carb load situation, MREs is an insult to your guests. A taco truck at a botanical garden. And there’s many beautiful botanical gardens here. I mean, I might try to do Huntington, but I might talk myself into Descanso. He know. Yeah. You know what I’m saying? I can tell you from experience, Huntington’s too expensive. Too expensive? Yeah, yeah. I’m going Descanso. And you would have to plan it four years in advance because that’s when dates start opening up. If you live in this county and you’re trying to get married, good luck getting a venue that you can be proud of. Yeah. Within three years. That’s what I’m told. Yeah. We flew to New Orleans for our wedding. Just ’cause it was cheaper. That’s how expensive California weddings are. Did you fly other people there? We had about 50 people. Small. 50 people’s a lot for a destination wedding. Yeah. It’s great. What am I gonna do? I really like a photo booth at any event. I really like a caricature artist, ’cause it’s like a photo booth, but one that makes you feel self-conscious. You would love a caricature artist. You would love to make the majority of your guests feel uncomfortable and insecure about themselves. That’s all a caricature artist does. Right. You know what, you don’t need a caricature artist for that. You just do that yourself. Just talk to ’em? Yeah, you just handle that yourself, man. You don’t need to bring in an artist for more. Don’t pay somebody. All right, good point. Well, I’m splurging on a photo booth then. So open, okay, so by not having an open bar, I just want, that’s a really big decision, right? Oh crap. I didn’t even read that high. Because now you’re charging people for alcohol at your wedding, which is a really low thing to do. Ooh, I’ve already circled it though. What am I gonna do? Yeah. Oh, I know what I’ll do. I’ll just serve potatoes. So I’m going open bar. No, that’s the honeymoon. Honeymoon is potatoes? Boise. So hold on. I have $1 left. No, I’m sorry to say. That’s not how math works. But you’ve nailed it. Oh, two! You’re not even going on a honeymoon. Yeah, I’m not, I live in California. You want to change your taco to a tater? Can’t do it. MREs. You want an open bar in the botanical garden? I thought this was $1. I’m sorry tacos. No food, but open bar. That’s a recipe for the botanicals getting all- I’m, hey, you know what? I’m taking it on the chin. I’m not taking a honeymoon. I’m not doing a honeymoon. Wow, dude, how much? Four… It’s all about the ceremony. So I can go, now I can go to Maui, which is what I wanted to do anyway. Yes, baby. That’s what I’m doing. Get drunk on your own dime. I’m not gonna aid and abet your… See ’cause this says ideal wedding. It doesn’t say ideal wedding plus honeymoon. So I just concentrated on the experience here. I’ll just plan a trip separately. Link, I feel like day by day you are approaching Uncle baby Billy, like it is the merge. The merge between that character. All I’ve seen is TikTok clips of the character. And I do love him. I love him. I’ve never seen, I haven’t seen him on the show. Even the hair’s merging, the… Yep. The outbursts. The outbursts. He’s cool. He became like the star of the show, right? He’s very prominent in this season. Can I just- So you haven’t seen any of it if you haven’t seen him. You haven’t seen season one then. I’ve seen almost all of season one. Can I skip to season four or whatever it is? No, watch it through, it’s a great show. But he is producing a new show this season. Teenjus, which is about teen Jesus. Oh my gosh. I gotta catch up. Teen Jesus. But I do think, I think if there’s a Mythical Beast watching that’s a fan of both shows, maybe a little side by side Link and Uncle Baby Billy. We should have got Baby Billy on the show back when they were like promoting it. You know, he should have come on in character. Talk like this. Is this how he talks? Yes! That’s the thing. Yeah, there’s a lot of mannerisms that are pretty in line and, as you get older it’s gonna get more like that. I feel flattered. Thank you Stevie. Yeah, I meant it as a compliment. And I feel good about my choices. I feel like I could still go to Boise for nothing. Boise. Boise is how you’re supposed to say it. Boise. Ask somebody from Boise. We got anybody from Boise? I know somebody from Boise, and I was recently told that that’s how you’re supposed to say it. European tour, I don’t wanna be going on no tour on my honeymoon. I wanna sit in a spot and relish in it. I- I think I’d rather go to Idaho than Nashville at this point, to be honest with you. I like Nashville but I just sort of feel like, eh, I just kind of feel like I’ve done it. I don’t think I need to do it again. I’ve never done Boise. What does Boise have to offer? Who knows? We gotta find out. All of Idaho. I’ve never been to Idaho. I’m sure it’s beautiful. And at least potatoes. Yeah. Chase, you made that decision. Potatoes? Yeah, to represent the city of Boise. But with potatoes. That’s all I know about Idaho. Okay, but you have a friend. Yeah, Trevor. He said it was okay to use potatoes. Trevor’s the one? Trevor gave him the OK. Trevor said it was okay to use potatoes. Maybe if I get married at the DMV I can straighten all this out. I think we need some wild lines. I’m just thinking about this fan TikTok and I would just, so I just think we need some wild lines for link. Just to mash up against Baby Billy. So listen, how about like, “Listen here now,” but go little more Southern and just- Listen here now! Higher. Listen here now. Listen here now! Listen here now. Is it like that? A little bigger, a little more confidence. Listen here now. Listen here now. Listen here now. Listen here, now. That’s pretty good. Listen here now. Is it more like that? He gets agitated. You really need to watch the show because you would- There we go. He gets agitated. You would be able to do a perfect impersonation of him if you actually watched the show. You need to watch some clips. Yeah, let’s just get it like- Baby Billy promoting Teenjus. Do you understand how close- Teenjus is the next big thing. Teenjus is gonna be better than baby Jesus. ‘Cause he lasts longer. Teenjus lasts longer than baby Jesus. How’s that? What do you mean by he lasts longer? I’ma get my scholars to look at that. How’s that? Well, I don’t know if he has scholars, but you don’t understand how close you sound to him. It’s spot on. Let’s see that TikTok, y’all.
