We’re reacting to secret rooms. Welcome to Good Mythical More. Now, something that happens on the internet, unfortunately, means this also happens in the world, is that people build secret rooms in their house, and then they make videos about them. Are we gonna be looking at ones that are coming from those videos? Yes, yes, you thought that we were done with Wonder Hole season two, but we find ourselves here again. We looked at a lot of these. Digging through those videos on YouTube, the Secret Room videos on YouTube, the videos that I don’t think they’re made for us, but we need to, we need to digest them, you know? Let’s do it, we need to understand the world. Yeah, so yeah, there’s a handful of top secret room makers on YouTube, and that’s where we’re diving in. For example, we’re gonna start with the Stokes twins. You’re gonna hear, all the names I say, you’re gonna be like, yeah, I remember that from when we were developing Wonder Hole season two. Good old Stokes twins. Stokes twins. ‘Cause one wasn’t enough. It’s called, in all caps, it’s called, “I BUILT FOUR SECRET ROOMS IN ONE COLOUR.” Four? Whoa. In one color? Yep, yep, yep. And we are gonna be, we’re gonna be looking at the gray room today. Now, all of these rooms have, you know, cool entry points, because they have to. So we’re gonna start with looking at the room entrance here. All right, It just looks like a staircase, but then the staircase opens, what? Yeah, and to give you some more context of what the Stokes twins’ house looks like. Let’s pull back. Beautiful. Ooh, I love it. What a wonderful house. I love the decor. There’s a staircase for each one. That’s right, ’cause, but they look exactly the same. If I had a house with my twin, I’d want us each to have a way up. They’re mirrored. I mean, this reminds me of, I don’t know. You wanna live in a Mario world? What’s the problem, y’all? Hey, if you can, you should. Yeah, I think maybe until a certain age. They live here? You do wanna live in a Mario world. That’s what I am also learning from this. So, yeah, you gotta, you cannot be 48, 47-year-olds right now. I need you to digress. Yeah, we need to figure out a way to embrace this, or we’re gonna just be old, crotchety, grumpy men who complain about everything. Let’s find the beauty in this. I mean, I like hearts, heart. I like suns. I’ll take the right side. You’re pink and I’m orange? Okay, I’ll take the heart side. You take the sun side, and then we can both play ball in the middle. But it looks like if you walk through the arched entrance in the back, that it’s totally different approach. You’re entering a funeral home. Yeah, it’s like you’ve got a floral, what, okay, all right, let’s just go into the secret room. Okay, we’re gonna go back to the gray room. Let’s see the widest shot of the gray room, please. Oh, there’s a lot of room in there. Look at that. So it looks like what they did is they disassembled the bottom part of the stairs, and they put a blanket in there, and if you wanna get in there and play some VR, or… Yeah. Or pretend to be a Mandalorian, you can do that. Okay, so I guess a room is technically anything that you can get inside? Yeah, yeah, I do kind of understand the appeal of this. When I was a young child. It’s like a little cubby, yeah. I liked having a hideout. And my stepfather at the time was a plumber, and he had this big crate. I’ve told you this. And I took a weight bench top and I put it inside of the crate. And then I took a blanket in there and I was like, this is my bed. And then I took one of his pipes and I ran it through the thing. And I was like, this is… So hold on, something just flew outta your hair. It flew pa… There’s a fly, like, living there for the last two minutes. Hold on, hold on, like you… Thanks for telling me. Hold on, you were like talking, you were like talking. You’re like, pigpen and a fly. A fly flew outta my hair? Right outta your head. Well, that is humbling. I mean, from my angle, it looked like it came outta your eye. It’s like you just talking to a guy and this fly just comes right off his eye, and you’re like, whoa, okay. I was waiting for you to finish your spiel before I told you, but. That is, I’m just… Everybody could see it? I missed it. I saw it. I just thought it went by me. I didn’t know it came out of me. I was like, that’s a very active piece of lint just flew off of… My bot fly experiment. Yeah, he had a little secret room in your head. He was just, it was an illustrative point. Yeah. What were you saying about your little box? I say I have… I put a pipe in there and that was my urinal. I remember that, yeah. You peed in the pipe and it landed on the ground outside. I mean, indoor plumbing. That was next level. Yeah, right. And just to show you the full usage of the room, here is what I’m told is guy in room. Okay, well, he is got electricity in there. Yeah, they ran power under him. He looks a little scared, like maybe they won’t let him out. Oh, oh, oh, they have to not be caught. They have to not be caught in learning. So it’s a hide and seek. So this is a face of, well, I’m scared I’m gonna get caught face. Well, let me just say a little something about this. We’ve been making videos on this website for almost 20 years. You sound old, okay. And we have made thousands, thousands of videos. Oh, I thought you were gonna say dollars. And we’ve made thousands of dollars as well. And we have never gotten close to making a video that has as many views as this video. I guarantee you. I have no idea how many views it has, but I know that we’ve never gotten close. Let me see, and you’re probably right. 235 million views. Yeah, not even close. We haven’t broken a hundred million on anything. 235 million views. It’s just, you know, what, here I am making my little indoor plumbing crate, and then I go online and I see these guys and like, “I wanna be these guys when I grow up “a couple of years older.” Right. A couple years older. Good work, guys, I mean… Now I need to look up how old these people are. They can retire at any moment. It’s working, it’s working. Okay, while I look up how old the Stokes twins are, you are owed some compliments, ’cause you did win the main, so Val, if you could, please. That’s right. Val, come on, get in here, man. Give us some compliments. We earned it, please. Okay. Ready? Thank you. I, you know, I think we say we make a cute couple. Oh, a comedy duo. A couple of cute guys. Yep. Couple of cute guys, just like the Stokes twins. Thanks, Val. Thanks, Val. I have one more. Oh okay, give us another one. I have one more. You shouldn’t have said that. That is too kind. Yeah, I really appreciate that. That’s very thoughtful of you. Last one. Oh, okay, okay. Dead nino, dead baby? Okay, I mean, you said it. Did you say something about a dead baby? No. Well, thank you for not doing that. Yeah, thank you for the compliments. We’re gonna take those with us. Thank you, Val. Thank you, Val. The Stokes twins are 28 years old. That’s a surprise. Link, turn, further, other way. Do I have? Yeah, well I need to see. Go back. Do I have a fly? Do I have a fly, is it a fly nest? You have something in your… Let me see, look at me. Look, look, look, look, look, that way. What? Oh no, that’s something on his head. No. What, I thought that there was a white ball. Yeah, there is, what? Link has a white ball on his head. Oh, you talking about right there? Yeah, your part. Oh yeah, I gotta get my part in the right place. Now that your hair is short. That is a mole. Link has a mole on his head. That’s where the flies come out of. Look at that. That right there is a mole. Sorry. He has a white mole. I don’t care. It’s never been discovered. I don’t care. Until now. Yeah. Good, great, great. It looks like it is kind of unsettling. Well, you know, you really, you really let us see it in the end, and I appreciate that transparency. No, it is kinda gross. We’re done, we’re done with it. No, we’re, yeah. But typically my hair, when I got my new hairstyle, now I gotta, It was ringing. It was ringing white place where fly came from, and that was my bad. What about now? Looked like a little fly out. Can you still see it? No, that’s, yeah, that was the confusing. That was confusing. I’m sorry to bring it up. What if you switch the part side, but don’t tell anybody? I can’t do that. Anna Lim, when she does, when she cuts my hair, she knows it’s there, you know? Many years of cutting my hair. But for most of my life, I was very afraid to go. Too short? To the, no, not too, to get it hung by a comb. You want me to remove it for ya? I don’t want you to remove it. Okay. Yeah, it’s completely white and flies come out of it. There’s the fly. The fly is on me, on my hand, on the screen down there. Okay, back to secret rooms. Did we react to the Stokes twins being 28? Yeah, we were surprised. Okay. Do you want me to kill this fly, or is that gonna upset the fly lovers? So I’m doubly humbled. I think, what else, I mean, I just need to be humbled today. Yeah, right. I got a white mole on my head. I have flies coming outta my hair. Listen, I’ve known you for a long time. I had no idea you had a white mole on your head. I thought you knew. And it’s, you know. I thought you knew. I knew. Okay, we’re moving on to Ben Azelarts. Oh yeah, I know this guy. I built a secret zoo in my house. Yes, Ben is known for secret room content. So let’s take a look at the entry. Oh my goodness, it’s a washing machine. That, I mean, if this was a speakeasy, it’d be hard to get into, but I would try. Meow Wolf has one of their locations, has a entry into the washer. Dryer or the washer? Dryer, washer, I don’t know. Really? Yeah. See, we in Buddy System, season one, we had a secret room. We did, that went through a locker. And that was before any of this trend happened. That didn’t get any views either, though. But we, it’s just that boyhood fascination. It really taps into it. Hundreds of millions of views, though, not on Buddy System, season one. Yeah, the roundness, the roundness of the man and the roundness of the, there’s something not working with the sizing here, but. The roundness of the man? Well, I’m just saying the size of the hole and the size of the man, I cannot, I’m confused by. He not gonna get in there. Well, I bet you he does. Can can we take the camera there? Wait, let’s go, we’re going in. This is the room. We’re in the room, and this is the wide shot of the room. The zoo, sorry, sorry, sorry. It’s quite a zoo. It’s very green. There’s a terrarium. So it’s a reptilian zoo? Yes, yes, we are in the reptile room. I don’t know if that, so does that mean there’s more rooms? There’s more rooms. Each room has a different animal. You can’t just have one room. You can’t just have one room. You’ve got to really go for it. What they’ve done is, they have more money than they know what to do with. They buy this huge house, then they’re like, we can start making rooms secret by hiding the actual door and just put in a hole through the wall, through something, you know, like a washing machine, and it’s brilliant. It really is brilliant. But they’ve been tearing it all down and doing something else the next week. Oh yeah, oh yeah, it’s brilliant. This is one inhabitant of this zoo right here. That is a snake. Now there are a lot of people here in the room. Who is the man holding the snake? Is he a outdoorsman? I thought that was Ben. Crossing guard. No, he’s a friend. Ben is in the red. Ben is not in this video. So he has on a… Oh, this screenshot. Leopard print. So is he official, or is he just guy that can hold a snake? I think judging by the pink trim on his crossing guard vest, he’s not official. Not official. He is a friend of Ben, tasked by Ben to make this room for this challenge. Oh, ’cause it’s like a competition. Who’s got the best room? Let’s let children and other folk come in there and see which room is the best. I don’t like how red shirt dude is pulling his britches up. Well, I was trying not to look at it. Okay, this is an alligator in the room. Okay, well, this alligator needs some mulch, at least. Yeah, something tells me he’s only there for as long as they’re foaming in there, I hope. Yeah, I don’t know if this is not, this does not necessarily communicate animal care. Right. You know, to all the children that want an alligator as their pet. Yeah, doesn’t matter. But you can see the slight discomfort on his face. To them, doesn’t matter to them. You can see he’s a little uncomfortable with the conditions of the alligator on his face. 97 million views. Okay, well they haven’t broken into 100 yet. Well, there you go. Well, by the time this comes out. Should’ve made the zoo a little bit bigger, I’m sure. Okay, we are gonna move on to Alexa Rivera, title in all caps, “I BUILT 10 SECRET ROOMS YOU’LL NEVER FIND!” What? These are all branded, all like, chain rooms, including Sephora and Starbucks. And we are going to take a look at the 7-Eleven room. Here is the entry point. It is through… A couch? The couch cushion. That’s fun. So you go to the 7-Eleven through the couch. I like this idea. Okay, if I could have a 7-Eleven in my couch, think about that. I mean, that’s a cool idea, I think. Okay, and then we are in the 7-Eleven. Whoa, look at that. Look at what a paint job will do. A slushee machine. We’ve got, they got a whole 7-Eleven cooler. A heater box. I gotta say I appreciate, this feels like a step up from the zoo. Can I just be honest with you? Yep, it’s a bit better than the Green Zoo. It feels like we got a little bit closer to the reality of a 7-Eleven. Yeah. And I don’t see any animals being put into questionable environments. I like it. We’re gonna give this one a thumbs up. Did they get one of the rolls? Here’s the alt angle. Now, oh wow, it keeps getting better. Now if my theory about YouTube holds true, this has less views than either of the other videos that we saw, because it’s, they did a better job, which means you get less views. 12 million. 12 million, not even close. Yeah, not even close. This is the world we live in, guys. I don’t understand, I don’t understand. This is the world we live in. Yep, the world he lives in is great. I think 37 million. Why, can you explain that theory? ‘Cause the better things, the harder you work on something and the more sense you make of it, at least in our experience, The less appealing it is to more people worldwide, especially children, the worldwide children. If you’re getting 237 million views on something, you are appealing to children all around the world, like a Santa Claus. Who watch things hundreds and hundreds of times, over and over again. Yeah, but children all around the world don’t necessarily have great taste. No, they don’t. But they have the ability to watch. Boy, they can watch like you would not believe. Oh yeah. Just a little YouTube theorizing. But if you, listen, if you wanna buy a big mansion and have a staircase for you and your brother, then make those videos, because it will work. Yeah, you gonna bank it up, boy. Yeah, I don’t know how many eight year olds are big 7-Eleven fans, necessarily. So she had 10 different rooms? Apparently, in this video. 10 different rooms in one video, 12 million views. I would guess this is a compilation video, perhaps. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s what you do. You make the 7-Eleven video, and then you do all the ones together and you double dip a little bit. Yeah. I’ll go to the channel afterwards and I’ll, you know, I’ll watch all of Alexa Rivera’s content after this. Give her, you know, she needs a couple views, I think. She does. Yep. Okay, ooh, I don’t want to do this. We’re going to Jordan Matter now. I built a secret. Jordan Matter, “I built a secret room in my school.” Now Jordan Matter is a father, and I believe the perspective of I built a secret room in my school is coming from his daughter. Oh. Okay, here are the children entering into where the entrance is of the secret room. Okay, in their classroom, right in their classroom. All right, could be fun. Okay, this is interesting. I’ve always wanted to get into one of those little cubbies. And then this is the secret room. Okay, so another part of the school. What, so it’s… I think we’ve gone into the teacher’s lounge. I think we have broken into the teacher’s lounge. Through a hole. Yeah, and you thought this was it, but take a look at this. Oh, yeah. Or when you turn the lights off. Ooh, that is fun. There’s balloons on the floor. There’s Kit Kats on the counter. It’s inexplicably. Okay, so this is a… His daughter was in the last picture, right? She’s featured in all of the videos that he makes. So this is a little bit, I’m not gonna say low effort, but it’s no, you know, it’s no going through the washing machine, or putting a 7-Eleven. So I gotta think that low effort. This has got a lot of views. 46 million views. 46 million, yeah. 46 million views. Yeah, yeah. I think what I would love to do, again, you know, what I try to set out to do is, if you remember at the beginning of this video, is I set out to try to have a great attitude, and, you know, I’ve completely failed. I’ve completely failed. It’s hard, it’s tough. And I apologize for that. I just sit, one of the things that I can say, that I can say is that I have children that are no longer children. They’re men at this point, basically. But at no point did either one of my kids ever get into this part of YouTube. Yeah, mine neither. And so I don’t have anybody that I can talk to about this. I don’t have anybody that I know that I can ask these children these questions. Why? Like, why? I don’t, because I don’t know any kids that watch ’em. But obviously millions and millions do. Maybe I’ll ask my grandkids about it. Parents, y’all need to work harder to instill taste in your children. I mean, you need to be watching what they watch and parenting, not to protect them from violence, or, you know, all the things that can be floating around and traumatizing your impressionable minds. You gotta give them taste. Right, what’s worse? Your child sees a pair of boobies every once in a while, or, you know, sees somebody get killed on screen, or your child begins to think that this is what entertainment should be? Yeah, that putting some tinsel and some Pringles in a pile in a teacher’s lounge is awesome. Yeah, we really gotta get our priorities straight as a people.
