We're building our ideal dinner party. Welcome to Good Mythical More. We are going to build our ideal dinner party using only $10. $10. These are the choices. We've got different themes, we've got different courses, we've got topics of conversation and guests of honor. Wow. I mean. I would not, I'd be scared to go to a, a dinner party with Beyonce. I, I know I was immediately intimidated by that. Good gracious. But then you're basically, if you don't pick Beyonce, you're choosing from the Pope, Pope Leo, uh, your least favorite high school teacher, or your evil doppelganger, who is our least favorite high school teacher. Let's talk about that out loud. Um, I mean, I'm trying to remember if there was any. Anybody that we really didn't like, all of our teachers were nice, likable people. We found a way to like everybody. Yeah, but wasn't there. There had to be somebody we didn't like. Right. It's the least favorite. They were all our favorites. We'll come back to that. It was probably a coach, honestly, because. I didn't have good relationships with coaches. Who's the guy? They tended to push people athletically. Yeah. That's what they do. I, that didn't resonate with me. Who's the guy that was in the cafeteria who wasn't our teacher, but he was like the proctor in the cafeteria. Older guy may have been a shop teacher and he kind of stood there like this and he hated us. Yeah. Yeah, just like, because we did a couple of things, don't do any, don't, don't do anything that I'll make you regret. We were too loud, we didn't like him. We were too loud. But at this stage, I'd probably even have a good conversation with him. You know, feel his pain a little bit. Or for a dollar, you could have your evil doppelganger, your evil doppelganger shows up at your dinner party. Because I feel like the Pope, that conversation is going to like it's things are gonna be a little bit stilted. You know what I'm saying? It's gonna get stuffy. I mean, a party with the Pope is, it sounds like a euphemism for something. Uh, you know, let's come on Pope. Let's bop a little bit. I think I'm gonna save money here. Bopping the Pope and I am going to, I'm gonna choose my evil doppelganger. So then people are coming up to you like the next day you're getting texts and they're like. What was your problem at the party, dude? No. No. It was your party. Everyone would know. Why were you so evil? No, it's not like I leave and then he comes in. We're both there at the same time. Yeah, but people are over there talking to you and you're over here talking to them. I think it becomes the spectacle. I think it's almost like, you know, I've got this idea, and we've talked about it multiple times, the loose general idea of these like themed. Gatherings that I have yet to do anything. The loose general meaning like he get the the loose general, the general gets sexy with everybody. Yeah. And I haven't done it yet, but this would be like, okay. Remember when we brought that guy on the show that was, you know, he had my hair and before when I was growing it up. Yeah. So you find somebody who looks like you and you're like, that's the guest. It would be, it would be fun to do that for like a birthday party and you, it's just an actor and you've told them to be really mean and they have things that they know about people who are gonna be there. It's a presenta, it's an act. It's like a gesture. It's like, don't go, Hey, don't get close to my evil doppelganger, because he might insult you. I think you've beat the system. Yeah. On that one, I've created a, I wanted a theme and I found it by picking the right guest. So your theme is to hire someone and tell them secrets about everyone that you love that, that he can use against them. Mm-hmm. At the park, because I think it would be super fun and keep people on their toes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I'm gonna go with my least favorite high school teacher, which, um, I just really, I really didn't like history, but now I have an appreciation for what she was trying to do. So I'm choosing her, not the, not the, not the proctor. You know what, if I may, Rhett, I would look at mine, I'll look at yours. That way I can keep an eye on you. But you, but then, but then when I start, we're looking kind of looking at each other the whole time. Exactly. I wanna keep an eye on you. Isn't that a little weird? I should have picked Beyonce. It's over. Let's go all the way to theme here. Okay. I mean, starting with an evening in North Carolina for $1, that's a theme. Well, it's, it's, it's loose general, so, you know, meaning I can see a little bit of his cleavage. I could do it anywhere. Like an evening in North Carolina could be done in California. Yeah. It like the first one's evening in Paris. So it's the same, it's basically the same thing. North Destin Carolina, it's a, an evening in North Carolina would consist of, and it can't be related to food. It just has to do with, um, I dunno what that would be. It'd be a dogwood tree with a cardinal in it. Yeah, that's the official tree with the official bird in it. A lot of trucks in the parking lot. Yeah. Um, uh, trees don't have a lot of those out here. We do have some trees. We have some trees, but they're different. We don't have woods. We don't have a lot of woods out here. Um, there's not a lot to go on. It would be, yeah. I think if you can't go to food, people confused, even in North Carolina would have to be mostly around food, which is a different category, but I don't like it when people dress up like cowboys. I'm not a huge fan of, of, of that. Oh, why not? I don't know. It's, it's fun. It's easy. Everybody's looking to dress up like landman these days. You know? I think you have to have stipulations because I think people get a little Billy Bob snorting, you know what I'm saying? I, I think people do things like tuck their jeans into their cowboy boots. You know, when they dress up like cowboys. Oh. And I'm just like, come on guys. A little cringe. It's like, that ain't how it's done. Okay. You ever seen that happen? Well, you're gonna have to spend $3 on murder mystery, which I think I'm gonna have to do it. I know. That's good. Right? Because it, it gives you some tracks to run on. And again, everyone's gonna think that my evil doppelganger is the one that committed the murder, but he obviously isn't. 'cause that's completely unrelated. Yeah. I think I'm gonna go, I've never been to Paris. Evening in Paris is a good prom theme. And so what would that mean for just a, um, for a dinner party? It kind of means that you're gonna dress up a little bit. It means that there's, there's, there's some romance in the air. I like it. You're gonna, maybe there's a photo booth with a backdrop. It's got that tower in it and the moon stuff central to Paris. So I've got, I'm, I'm feeling pretty good about that. You've only got $4 left. I've got old, older people like us doing stuff that feels like we're reliving our prom, but without the awkward shame and cliquey judgments, that's pretty, that's pretty intriguing. Hmm. Uh, I will say, speaking of. Adult parties. Adult parties. Mm-hmm. The other night we got back from the holiday party that we went to together and you know, we were, it was on the other side of town, so we're talking 45 minutes or so to get back home. And we got in at like before 11 and we walked in and Shepherd was like, y'all leave the party early. And we were like, no, we're middle aged people. Go to parties, they all start leaving about when we left. Yeah, because people don't want to be out after 11. No, they don't. You know, I mean, the party started at six, six to 11 and we got there at seven. But like it, yeah, it was ending at 11. You don't wanna be the last person to leave. But there was just something about, like, I was explaining to him, I was like, you know, you're 17, you could go to bed at 1:00 AM. Or 2:00 AM on a weekend and it won't impact the next five days of your life. For me, it will. Yeah. I got shamed by my mother, this pa 'cause I said, went out late and she goes, well what, what time did you get home? I was like, I, I mean just after 11 and she laughed like she. She do. Yeah. She thinks I should be staying out later as a 38-year-old woman. Yeah, woman, you can't do that. You can't do it. It sets you back. I back think maybe there's a, I mean there's a curb, I think like when you get to 60, 65, you go back the other way because you have nothing to do then it Exactly. Because you can sleep in, it's not exactly your week that much, or they don't even know what day it is. Yeah. 30, 30 to 50. No, but, but yeah, that, I mean, both my parents are retired now and. They'll, I mean, I think they're sleeping till like eight 30 or nine. Oh yeah. Every day. Oh yeah. Now I, I'll pay that toll pretty much every other weekend. I'll pay that toll. I can't do it. I'll take a, because I can take a nap. You can't take a nap. I can take two naps in a day. It still takes me two or three days to actually recover, but it's worth it. That's hanging out with take two, hanging out with kids, two naps in one day. Oh yeah. Yeah. To recover. What, what's the ti what's the rough timing then? Uh, like, I'll get up, I'll eat breakfast, I'll walk the dogs. I'll take a nap. I'll get up. How can you do that? I'll do some stuff. Um, if, especially if I'm going for a second night. Mm. Then I'll, it'll be like three o'clock. I'll take another nap. And how long are the naps? At least an hour. Ooh, both times. Yeah. Yeah. If I could do that, I might change. Yeah, but I can't. Yeah. What am I gonna talk about? What? What am I gonna eat? Let's eat. Eat is important. So for a dolly, you got corn dogs, which you'd love. Lasagna for $2, $3 Ina Garten's roast chicken recipe. That's oddly specific. Should we know? Should we have heard? It's classic. She can do it in her sleep. That's I believe what the top of the recipe says. Yeah, I could do this in my sleep roast. It's pretty good though though. Chicken recipe. Okay. And then the crème de la résistance the creme de la creme. Yeah. The pièce de la creme, uh, the Good Mythical Morning and Mythical Kitchen, orange chicken parm recipe. I think there's, I, no, I've got $6 to, to spend. That's exciting. And so I'm actually gonna do that because. This is really good. It's novel. It's not roast chicken. You know, this is something that's, this is a conversation starter in and of itself because we've gotta get to the topic of conversation in a second. But I want you to understand, I've already got a murder mystery. I've got a, a really interesting meal that has a whole backstory, and I've got this guy looking like me going around telling the secrets of all my friends. So I've got a lot of conversational stuff covered. Yeah. And I've got. Uh, I'm in Paris with a teacher I didn't like. Yeah, right. You're stuck. I'm hurting. I I'm gonna, I'm gonna wait on the, on this in order. Yeah, you gotta move because I got, we gotta talk about something. Good. Look, look over here. I can, I can look over here, but I just feel like I gotta keep an eye. Well, let me see if it looks that much different. So if I look over here and I'm like, ha, ha ha. But then if I look here, I'm doing this, uh, pretty much exactly the same to what? I see the same amount of your face. Yeah, but I don't see your face at all. Do it again. What about this? Well, that's a little different. Move your hand. Now see, and now I have to move my hand, so I can't do something that's natural. All right, fine. Topic of conversation. This is cool how scary climate change is. That's, that's gonna happen anyway. I think I'm, I mean, I. At par, the Paris Accords is where you talk about that with a teacher. I, I, I actually think this is shaping up to be a pretty, whoa, this is a downer. This is an impactful night. This is, I'm probably raising money for something. Okay, well that's a totally different thing. You know, that's a totally different, it's a bait and switch fundraiser dinner party. So, I mean, this is really the trap that you can find yourself falling into in any party these days as a, you know, middle aged person. It's just, you can find yourself how we establish we're middle aged talking about how bad everything is. That's what I'm doing. You get like, why are we talking about how bad things are now except for Ina Garten's roast chicken recipe and you've literally chosen one of the things. That's how that's bad. To start, like this is stated topic of conversation is what I'm doing. I want something lighthearted. I want something that'll really get people's, uh, opinions going. I actually wanna talk about this right now, the longevity of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship. So you're. Bypassing. We both bypass the world's strongest animals. And what a great host you are in such a nice house too. That's gonna happen naturally. Why is that $4 that's gonna happen that makes you feel good? That's gonna, it just happen naturally. All right. Talk about the longevity of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship. Um, do they have, I can't promise to contribute anything. Is there a date set? Oh, they're not married yet? I think so. I thought that was a secret. No, that was a secret marriage. Oh. I thought it was June. I'm sorry. I did see it and I, and I think it's June, right? Can someone confirm? This makes me sad that I am the only one that knows this. Okay. Confirm. It's June. So they're getting married in June. Okay. Uh, they gotta set that weekend aside, but the invitations have already gone out. Well, that I didn't see. I don't, I I saw that. No, maybe not. I saw that some, I saw that people were getting invited. We, we probably have a good two or three month window in which we can still get invited. Okay. I mean, confirming that you don't expect it yet. We've had, we've had their in-laws on this show. That's true. Um, in-laws. Yep. Is it the in-laws if it's, I mean, technically you brother-in-law, brother and sister-in-law. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, uh, there could be a way. Taylor or Travis, if you're watching, I hope it's not related to like my Spotify listening habits. I just wanna let you know that I will definitely, and anyone that I may have blocked to never show up ever as recommended in my Spotify. Okay. Well, I wanna let you know that Link and I don't have to do everything together, and if I get invited, I will definitely come. I will move heaven and Earth to be there and anything that I'm about to say. I, because I don't know where I'm gonna say now. Now Beyonce might be there now you're nervous. Yeah. Po, The pope may be there. I think it's gonna be a romance for the ages. I think it's, I think we're talking, we're definitely talking double digit marriage here. I'm getting them marriage counseling as a gift because over under on double needs, double digit marriage. Like years, 10 years. Yeah. I don't really know what over under. I know it's something to do about gambling. It's just I hear people ask that over under on, so I don't know how you would answer that, but like, what do you think the chances are? It's like if you said over under six, what do you, what would you take if I'm setting the line at six years, would you take that over? Oh, over, definitely they're gonna be together longer in the six years. Anybody agree with that? So what about, okay, 'cause this, it's the seven year itch. Seven. So who thinks they're gonna be break up before six years of marriage are up? Okay, so more people are in agreement with me. I just think that, I think that they, you said for the ages, and you're saying six years is a marriage for the ages? Yeah. Why didn't you say that? I mean, when you're both famous. Yeah. Maybe. I think there's gonna be, I'm going 12. I'm going it, it is 12 plus. Would you like to survey the room on the, on your 12th? The longer it goes, the sadder it gets, if you're saying, what are you talking about? The sweeter it gets No, I'm saying if they do break up, it's like, oh, it's sat The longer you go. Saturday longer. The marriage goes to Saturday. Uh, 12 years. Probably 13, because that's Oh, okay. 13. 13. 13. Yeah. I think this is a long term thing. I think we gotta see how the kids turn out. How they pop out. Yeah. You know? No. What, how many, how many kids there are, how they pop out. I think the births are gonna be televised. Hm. I missed what you said. I just mean the births are gonna be televised if they start bringing kids into the mix pretty soon. It's like, oh, I think this could last. Yeah. Oh, for the kids, you mean for the kids' sake? If they have kids early, it's just another reason. Yeah, I think. I think they really mean it. If the baby start popping out, or I don't know who they're popping out of, it doesn't matter, but they're having kids surrogate. You think it's gonna be a surrogate maybe. They, they have busy lives. Definitely. Nanny involved. I mean, well, of course, but how many nannies do you think they're gonna have? Over under six. There we go.
