What's the worst Get Well gift on the internet? Welcome to Good Mythical More. I hope you're feeling well today. But if you're not, maybe something that we're going to show is going to make you feel a little bit better, or maybe not, because I think we've got some stuff that's not great. Mm-hmm. These are things that you can buy to give to someone to just, you know, it's, it's a. It's one thing to show up when somebody's sick. It's another thing to give them a piece of crap that says, get better. You know? And you don't, and if they're contagious, you don't wanna be there for it. So maybe this, what is that? A candle? This is a candle. I, I mean, I think, I haven't opened it yet, but I. Okay. Open it. Be careful now. Yes. Oh. Because it could be one of those like snakes that pops out. It doesn't smell like a hospital. Why if they're in a hospital, why would you want to? Right. I'm just saying like double up on hospital smell. Right. But it does say, they say God only gives what you can handle. Apparently God thinks you are a badass. Oh, I think this is. Um hmm. That means that is that biblical. I've given you a lot. It's given you a lot. There's a Bible verse that goes along with this. Uh, really if God won't give you more than you can handle, no, I think that I don't, I don't think that, I think it's extra biblical. Yeah. I think that's extra biblical. You're right. Link. I'm not good at comforting people who aren't sick. I Can we talk about that? Because this might be a new way for me. One of the things that I have realized is that when people are not feeling well, especially if they're in a hospital, uhhuh, and I think I maybe talked about this before, but. Uh, Jessie is, she's so good at it that I just kind of just depend on her. I'm like, well, I'm going with her and like I've tried to get better at it. She, when she goes to a hospital visit somebody, is she, she one of those crawl in the hospital bed with 'em? No. What are you talking about? That's only in the movies, man. If they're, I've crawled in a hospital bed with somebody. Well, I mean, that's like a, somebody who's maybe if they're a close relative, like a relative who's dying or something. Well, not just not dying. Crawl into the like, I mean, I'm a, yeah. I don't, this guy doesn't just crawl into a bed. Like that's a big, I thought Jesse might, I haven't seen her. I would like to crawl into a bed. Okay. But I, but it's the things that she says, the expressions that she makes mm-hmm. That tone of her voice. Mm-hmm. It all communicates deep empathy. Uh, are you saying you're an a sociopath? No, I, I'm saying I have feelings of empathy. Yes. I have difficulty expressing feelings of empathy. Mm-hmm. Those are two different things. So maybe all I need to do is I need to hold onto some of this stuff and I need to, whatever one is the best, is the one that I need to then take to the next. Always have one on you. And I don't wanna carry a candle. Maybe something that's easy to hold onto. This one's weird because it, it says God twice, but badass once, and I still think badass is a bad word. I don't You still think that? I still think that, I think it, I think it became not a curse word at some point, like, that's badass. But for me, I, you, you think ass is a bad word. Yeah. Yeah. I still think ass is a naughty word. Well, so you And I wouldn't say it, I wouldn't say it on a candle alongside God. I'm just not putting God and ass in the same sentence. I feel really, I, I feel really uncomfortable right now. Like you are in a hospital, but it's not talking about God's ass. That, that, that would make you feel uncomfortable. It doesn't say anything about that. Well, yep, but that made me feel uncomfortable too. Well, Moses saw God's ass. Oh yeah, he did. Have you not, have you not seen, have you not seen that passage? The 10 Commandments movie? You seen that episode of the Bible? It, well, in the 10 Commandments he does pass. He's in the cleft of the rock. Yeah. He passes by the back side. Yeah, he, Moses saw God's ass. Moses saw God's. Us and live to talk about it. Yeah. So I take it back. This is not gonna be highly ranked, so I'm putting it over here. Now this is interesting because I could wear these to the, to the visit. Oh, that would've been cool. Yeah, do that. That would've been cool. Try to see if I can do it again. Uh, it's almost cool. If you can read this, gimme the good meds. Oh, so it's like toes up. Mm. But okay. So that, that, yeah. This is the gripper on the gripper. Slipper. I understand. Gimme the good meds. Sos, you're, so you're walking on these? Yes. Oh man. Like these gripper slippers really give me, uh, flashbacks to like being in the hospital. Where have you been in the hospital On gripper slippers. Well, I remember when Lily had her back surgery. She was in these, and that was like, I just remember seeing them. I think when you were in the hospital you had on the gripper slippers. There's just something about seeing a friend in the hospital with this long. Legs hanging in his feet, coming out of the bottom, and he's got the gripper slippers on. I was like, I was sad for you, dude. Well, you know, speaking of that, I feel like I should address something. I, I see people, I, you know, I don't read a lot of comments these days, but I have gotten word that there are people in the comments who are worried about me and say things like, I really think that Rhett's heart is probably worse than he let on, or they didn't hear. They, they heard about it later or through comments, not through you talking about it on the podcast. Yeah. And so last year, this is a good time for me to tell you that. So what I was dealing with was, uh, intermittent AFib, right? So this is like your heart doesn't beat normally from time to time. Some people live with this. For their entire lives. There's 95-year-old people that have this condition. It's not directly life-threatening, but you kind of wanna get it taken care of because especially when you get older, if your heart's not beating in a sinus rhythm, you have a higher propensity to get a stroke. Right. Are you puppeting? I Can you? Yeah, I, I'm doing this as a puppet show. Can you puppet the rest of this medical update? And here's the thing, uh, they have a very effective and simple procedure. They actually don't even call it surgery. They call it a procedure where they go in and they do a little electric things to your heart and cauterize a few things that, it's called an ablation. You want this one? And it's super simple. It was a, it was a, uh, what do they call it? Day surgery, outpatient. Outpatient. They put you under and give you a day surgery. Day surgery. It's like a day spa. And then, uh, I haven't had one episode of AFib. Since September, which, so I'm all good. Y'all. Even if you did have subsequent episodes, it's not like I'm gonna die because I have it. In the months following, that would've been within a, that would've been an acceptable thing. You're more, in fact, about 50% of people who, uh, in during the healing period, which is about three months, which I'm out of now, will have more episodes of it. But that's not an indication necessarily that you're gonna keep happening. However, if you don't have. Any episodes during the healing, it's a really good indication that you're set for a really good long time. So maybe 10, uh, maybe a year or 10 years from now, or 20 years from now, I'll have another episode, and then they can go in and they can do the same procedure, which 10, 20 years from now, it'll be even less invasive than it was. Yeah. So anyway, don't worry about me guys. You probably won't have, I'm not saying I'm not gonna die, but it's probably not gonna be related to that. It might be this guy stabbing me in the neck or something by accident. Okay. True. So everything's cool. So we're ranking these pretty high because if you're in the hospital, it gives you a little, it gives you a better grip. Gripper. Slipper with a little, little joke on it. And hey, you might get, uh, you might, you might get some good meds out of it. Yeah. And so speaking of meds, grab those that, those look like pills. Get well capsules. So you give, oh, I know what these are. You drop these into water. You do not take them, drop 'em in the water and they turn into dinosaurs and stuff, right? No, no, no. It's a chewable. Does it have a flavor? Ullo, I don't think we're doing this right. Chase, you strike me as someone who's good at a hospital setting. All you do. Yeah. I've unfortunately had a lot of experience. I think it's just the size of my family. There's always someone having a procedure or something, but yeah. Um, but you're pretty good at like saying empathetic things to people. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, empty platitudes is what I felt my personality on. Yeah. Empty platitudes was your nickname in high school. Wow. So you don't what, what's, just give Rhett one empty platitude that he can have in his back pocket with these socks. Yeah. Whenever he goes to see somebody. Please. Uh, yeah, so you could say, I'm like, uh, you'll get through it, man. And then like a nice little pat on the back, pat on the back. But not too hard. Not not too hard. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I find like a, a little, a gentle squeeze on like your, your foot or your like leg, bottom of your leg. Just like a little pat, like, okay. I don't know if you, you like physical touch, so just a tiny little something, a squeeze on the bottom of the leg. You're talking about the calf or under the thigh? Not the thigh. No, not that thigh. Under the leg gently touched me when he said that to like, act it out. I think we need to rethink this chase. Well, what about these? I'm, yeah. Yeah. Uh, keep fighting, keep believing. And soon you'll be back to your vibrant self. These are things you can say that's a little long. You open these. How about this? Be a warrior, not a warrior. You're stronger than, you know what? Yeah. That's actually something I do say to, to my family and friends with anxiety. Yeah. Be a warrior. Warrior. You've gotta be a warrior. Warrior, a wor. Don't be a worrier. Of course. I can't really say. I don't. I, they sound the same to me. Those words. Warrior, warrior, warrior, warrior. Sending you vitamin C for a speedy recovery, courage, cheer, and comfort. I'd never say that to somebody in person. I'm gonna find one that I would say to somebody and see if I could pass it off as normal. Here we go. Feel better. Remember, laughter is the best medicine after antibiotics. Of course. Okay, but that should have made them laugh. Yeah, it is. I gave you a pity laugh. Made you bounce back to health like a boomerang, swift, and Sure. Kind of cheesy. I think you need to write your own. This isn't for you, dude. If we did eat this, what would happen? Not too much. I think it's fine. It's paper. It's fine. Let your spirit shine bright. Even on tough days, they suck. Yeah, these kind of suck. I need something that like is, is meaningful and will like make me seem like a good person. I think if you re-cap these with your own handwritten ones, that would just be, I mean, that would be through the stratosphere. Every day you fight is another day you're not dead. See, some of 'em are a little distaste. Every day you fight is another day closer to victory. That's better. That's a little better. Trust in the process and know that better days are on the horizon. I mean, that's, yeah, there's a version of that. Like, I, you know, I do say things like, Hey man, I, you're gonna get through this. You're gonna get through this. Yeah. That's good. You know, and, and I'm here for solid, I'm here for, than any of the ones that are written down. I'm, I'm here, here for you. Anything, anything you need. Anything you need unless it's, you know, Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM when I'm at work. Honestly, I think the best thing to say at the hospital is to the significant other of the person, just see if they need some food and then just be there. Don't, you don't need to bring, fill, bring food. I love when people bring me food. We have a t-shirt. Oh, I love this. At least, at least you're not dead. At least idio, itno, tic toe. It's not it's least, at least it's not cancer. Well, unless it is, at least it's not syphilis, syphilis. At least it's what if it is syphilis? Yeah, check, check to see if it's syphilis first. But then, uh, this is great. Syphilis laughter is, um. The best medicine besides antibiotics. So like you, I like that one. Yeah, I like that. I, is it my size? Can wear it as the, you're gonna wear it in there? Yeah. It doesn't even have a size print. Oh, one size fits all. Okay. Yep. You can have that one. Alright, we, we've got a, uh, we blanket here. Okay. I want to do the same thing. How's this work? Haven't read this yet. How does this work? Okay. How bad is syphilis these days? I'm gonna need your help. Those who are, uh, on the apps. Is syphilis bad because we're taking a pull back here. What, like, what are, what are the young people dealing with in terms ofs, STIs these days? It's super gonorrhea. I heard about that. There's one that is, um, it puts spots on you, right? Measles? No, that's not an STI, I don't know. Why isn't anyone speaking up about their STI experience? Well, we're planning to match the crew for next week and he'll give it away Hip. Oh, because of hipaa. I'm not saying what have y'all got? I'm just saying what y'all looking out for. So you have an STI. You just don't wanna talk about it, Mikayla. No. Ew. Ew it. Well, it's, there's nothing wrong with it touched, so, okay. Yeah. I would never grab the underside of Mikayla's, like in the hospital. Just say if there's some comfort you don't like to be touched. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you're safe that way. I have follow up questions. Yeah. Okay. But I'm not gonna ask them because it hip, Hey, the safest sex is no sex at all Kids, period. Move your mud. You teach it because it works. I don't believe that STI rates have fallen three years straight. Well, that's because the young, young people aren't having sex anymore. Except in Mississippi. They've gone up. Yep. Everybody's moving to Mississippi. You are. You are special. You are. You are special strong. You are strong. You are awesome. Yeah. It's all about the different fonts. Alright. You gotta stay in the same font. You take your font. I'm gonna take my font. Oh, you are licked. You're loved. You're loved. Okay. And then you're next. See how hard this is? We've never done it together. Why are you pulling so hard? I'm trying to get it straight. Yeah. Go. And then I need to go higher. But you don't need to go higher. I'm, I'm locked in. You are not alone. You are. Up a little bit. You are infinity what? Cloud? Surfboard. Swift. You are surrounded, so, so you are surrounded. Come out with your hands up. What does that say? Go up. Sub. Sub. You are supported. Su supported. You are supported. Why is that the biggest one? What you got working on there? On that side, you are tough. You are tough. You are brave, brave, brave. You are brave. You are warm in this blanket. Couldn't have just said you are at the top. And then all these words, you are courageous. It's a little repetitive. Okay? You are still going, still going have to fold here a, a fight. You are a layer. You are a fight. You are a fighter. Tough. That's the second tough. We've already repeated ourselves. You're touch. No, it's touch. You are touch. You are worth it. Worth You are special. We're already back to You are special and strong. Well. You are awesome. You are a lot. 'cause they needed filler and they still needed to repeat themselves. You are a fighter. It's crazy. This sucks y'all but it, I'm not giving that to anybody. It does feel good though. It's very soft. It feels good. Okay. I don't know about this one, but it looks like a pickle, um, in a bag that holds wedding rights. I will say one of the things that all in the course of about a year or so, I got a colonoscopy. And I went to the hospital for my heart thing, and I will say I had a, what I would call a phobia of hospitals. I hated hospitals. I hated being there. I don't like walking around 'em. I don't like the smell, but I feel like. Being at those two experiences, I was kind of like also the fear of going under. 'cause I had to get anesthesia for both of those things. Mm-hmm. And I had this thing, I had this worry that I was gonna wake up in the middle of both of, I did wake up in the middle of a colonoscopy, but that's because we told the doctor to wake us up so we could be funny. Um, but I had a fear of waking up in that procedure because we have a friend. Who was getting the same thing done essentially. And he woke up and he looked up on the TV and he saw a thing going towards his heart, a worm through his vein, and he was like, ah. And they realized he was awake and they gave him some more stuff. Anyway, I lost my fear of that. Yeah, because you received the care that made you feel strong. Wishing you a dill delightful. Recovery, just dill with. It a day at a time and you'll be back in a pickle. That doesn't make any sense back in a pickle. That's bad. That's wrong. You can be back in a Jiffy. But that's ob. That's, that's opposite means it's gonna recur. You don't want, yeah, you don't wanna say that you, you And what does it smell like? It does not smell like a pickle. It did have this up its butt though. It is nice that if you handmade this yourself, it's if you're one of those, if you're a crocheter or a knitter. If you're one of these people that can make these things, this is a fun thing to make yourself, and then you'll be out of this pickle in no time is what it should be. I, I think this is my favorite one so far. 'cause it's like a confusing pun that. Like, I would think was funny and then I'd say it out loud and you guys probably wouldn't laugh. And then one person in the comments would be like, you know what? That was a weird dill pickle joke. Chase. I like it. Right. Well this one, this one's singing my language. But you wouldn't find it 'cause you don't read the comments. No, no, no. I usually just like, wait for somebody to send me a, a comment. Okay. I'll text it To me, giving somebody a joke that's difficult to figure out gives them something to be distracted by. You know, if they're, if they're in pain and be like, here, figure this out. Makes sense of this joke. Yeah. Okay. So I think that could be distracting, so, so a riddle. Now is this a Pokemon? Yeah, right, that's a pill Pokemon. No, that is a, it's a happy pill. It says that on it. He's happy. Okay. For a long time. That's not okay. If it does that again, same thing again. It's like the pill is eating a kid that's on laughing gas. There's a child inside of that pill, man. Put this just outta reach next to somebody's hospital bed. Yeah. And then keep with the little thing that keeps pressing it. Yeah. This is not great. Can I see? Oh yeah. Put it, you gonna put it in the sock? What? Oh no. What? What do you do? Oh, oh, oh, oh. I agree though it seems harsh, but I really do agree. I just think it's a bit, I just think it's a bit annoying, so you gotta, you gotta put these pills in their places. It's very well constructed. Yeah, it is. It is. Nothing you can do. Nope, you loose. It's over. That is how you stop it though. Eventually get your food fixed on the Mythical Kitchen channel. Now, do you think there's a world in which we can sort of combine the two greatest shows in the world, which is Mythical Kitchen and Chris Angel's Mind Freak.
