Can we be fooled by some weird town slogans? Welcome to Good Mythical More. There's a lot of towns out there across the United States of America, and- And they have mottos. Well, you know, once you form a town, then you start coming up with ideas for things to do. Like- Who are we exactly? … people start working for the town, and people start coming up with slogans. Um, like Fuquay-Varina, their, their latest one is, like, "Funny name, great place to live," or something. I, it's not, it's not that. It's better than that. Apex, "The peak of good living." That's a good one. That's about as good as it gets. Um- Do I know any other ones? Um Burbank, where… What's Burbank's? Jenna, do you know? I have no idea. You live in Burbank. Come on. I live in Burbank. You know what? Burbank, where- Where's your pride? … where movies are made. Yeah. Where movies used to be made. Used to be made. Oh, uh, Burbank's official slogan is City of People, Pride and Progress. Okay. We gotta work on that. So City of People, Pride and Progress? I mean, it should at least be- Seriously? … triple B instead of triple P. There's nothing entertainment related? Burbank, City of Beer, Brides- There's an unofficial- … and- Burbank. Burbank. There's an unofficial one that's Media Capital of the World. So I feel like I was pretty close. Okay, we'll take that. Burbank, you know, game shows. All right, we're ready for you to try to stump us with either Fakersfield or Realadelphia. All right. Your first one is from Gas, Kansas. Don't pass gas. Stop and enjoy it. Gas… So are, we're, we should not have to question whether this town actually exists. You should question. So you're, you're not just making up the motto, you're making up the name of the town, writers? Yep, absolutely. Writers made up things. So there's- Everything. So there might or might not be a Gas, Kansas. Gas-Can-sas. It's fake. It, I mean, you- Right off the bat, y'all trying to fake us out. You didn't succeed. Don't pass gas. Well, you know there's that, um, uh, convenience store, uh, what's it called? And it has a really weird, uh, slogan. I'm not thinking about Come and Go. Well, that's a pretty good one. I'll remember it. All right, fine. I'll say it's real. Prove me, prove me right. Link is right. What? It is real. Gas, Kansas is a real city named for the abundance of natural gas they discovered in the area. Don't pass gas. Stop and enjoy it. Well, that one was, just wrote itself, didn't it? So what can you do in Gas, Kansas, pray tell, since we're in a praying mood? Probably frack. Brack? It's like frack? Frack. I meant to say brack, but I was thinking about Burbank. You said it twice. Probably frack. All right. Um, yeah, it's hard to get to the gas without fracking at this point. That's a, that'd be a pretty good slogan. Their big roadside attraction is the gas can water tower. I like that. Huh. Okay. Well, I won't be visiting probably. Gas, Kansas. We've never stopped at Ka- in Kansas on any of our- I don't think we have … our tours. I don't think we have. We gotta give gas their due. Next. Next is Bacon, Indiana. "Wake up and smell us." Bacon, Indiana. S- I'm going back to Fakersfield. Wake up and smell us. I just, that's just so stupid. That's gotta be fake because no town commissioners would … N- nobody wants to say, "Smell us." Right. It, it- That, that's the real problem here … it's the us part. If it was wake up and smell- It Wake up and sniff That wouldn't help. No. That'd make it worse. Make-up and smells. It wake up and smell us, like us being the town of bacon. What, what, um, what about, um The home that you bring it to. Bacon, Indiana. Bring home the bacon We are the bring, bring home what… Bring home home. That's it. That's the real slogan for Bacon, Indiana. So y'all have decided you're just gonna- It's fake create better slogans? Yes. Yes. Okay. All right. This is fake. Okay, good. So does Bacon, Indiana not even exist? It's an unincorporated community, so I'm gonna say- Okay … no, it does not. All right. Unincorporated communities exist. Yeah, you heard Co- What is it? What does it even mean? You heard of Calumet Springs? Yeah. I mean, I think Buies Creek was technic- is technically- It was and probably still is unincorporated. Unincorporated. Like, it doesn't, there's no town council at Buies, in Buies Creek. There's no, there's no government structure. There's no mayor. There's no police. I mean, that's where you can wreak havoc in Buies Creek. No police. It was briefly incorporated as a town in 1914, but repealed in 1967. Ouch, that's gotta hurt. What, Buies Creek? Yeah, and so it seems to be unincorporated perhaps now. Hold on. We just missed it. We were, we were, we're… Buies Creek was unincorporated? Yeah. It was made… It was incorporated and then unincorporated. I, it's like, it depends what your source is online. Okay. Pe- a lot of people are just saying stuff about our hometown. Yeah, you guys put it on the map. I mean, if you just Google Buies Creek, do we come up? What if they get incorp- uh, they make Buies Creek incorporated just from talking about it so much? I don't know if- Yeah that's how that works. We're gonna have a conversation about that. If you bring enough people there. But, sorry, yeah, Matt and I are having a conversation. Yeah. If you bring enough people there. All right. Let's, next. Next is Bigfoot, Wyoming's slogan, "We're the real thing." Okay, well, that's the- I like it. I like this that's the Coke slogan. So you might need to talk to them. We're the real thing. Bigfoot. I like… When I heard it, I immediately liked it, so I'm saying this is- I think this is real. If, as long as Bigfoot is a town in Wyoming, then yeah. But I haven't heard of the town. We're going with real. It is fake. And the town does not exist. Ugh. Ah, but, but Bigfoot does. Writers, you see what you've done to us when you start lying about multiple things? It's like, it's, it's double disappointment. Yeah. Right. Like, nothing is real. We want the town. That's what we were gonna call the show at first. Double Disappointment. Okay. Yeah, it wouldn't have really caught on, I don't think. All right, next. Hooker, Oklahoma's slogan, "It's a location, not a vocation." I believe that there's many Hookers in America, towns. Yeah. And you belie- and you believe in one of them. So I believe in Hooker, Oklahoma And I don't think that hooker is really the proper term anymore Like it's offensive? I think sex worker is what we say now. Sex Worker Oklahoma Not quite the same ring to it. So if I s- if I express any exasperation over the fact that n- you can't say hooker, then it's j- it, then it's just bad on me. Like, that's the trap we're in. It's like when people say, "Well, you can't- I'm not in it. I'm not in it … you can't- I'm not in the trap … you can't say hooker anymore." It's like, but hooker was such a fun word to say. If, if I can't say it anymore, let's let it mean something else because it, it's fun to, to be… It really rolls off the tongue. Let's make hooker- Hooker does. Let's make hooker something else? Yeah. How about just a really good fisherman? Yeah. Oh- I'm a hooker he's a hooker. I tell you, you seen him hooker. He's a hooker, I tell you. Driving down the street, you see nothing but hookers. Yeah. There's that new- On the way to the pond. There's that new, uh, my wife introduced me to… Well, she didn't introduce me to her, she just explained her to me. There's, you probably know, you keep up with the music scene, uh, Slayyyter. Okay. She's got, um, a bunch of fishing lures on her shorts. She has, like, two Ys in her name? I didn't… It was not, it, the spelling was never shared with me. It was just Jessie was- Three? Three. Three Ys. Three, three Ys. Okay. She was just explaining the, the people who played at Lollapalooza. And- Did she go to Lollapalooza? No. She's just explaining it to me. No. No. Yeah, we don't do festivals. And, uh- That, that would be a negative, hooker … and there was a lot of- See, I can say hooker … uh, there was a lot of, uh, ladies that really dominated the stage at Lollapalooza is what I was told. And, uh- She wore fishing hooks on her pants. And she's got fishing… Well, Je- Jessie was like, "What do you call those things?" And she was like, "Fishing, flies?" I was like, "No, no, those are lures." Lures. Lures. She's got fishing lures, presumably with the hooks taken out because that would be dangerous. And I guess she's from the South. Is she from the South and she's trying to make it seem like she's a fishing girl? She's trying to make it seem like she's a hooker. I don't know. By giving our new definition. Uh, but not the old definition. A hooker is a fisherman. To be, to be very clear. Just, a, you're talking about somebody who's very good at fishing because we're trying to redefine the term, okay? I'm saying this is fake because I just don't- Oh, I think it's real This is real. Yes! Good for you, Hooker, Oklahoma. And it's actually, it's named after a person- Mm-hmm … named John Hooker, which was his nickname, which I- John Lee Hooker? Yeah. Uh, uh, John Hooker Threlkeld. I think I said the last name right. But his nickname was Hooker, so I w- maybe he was good at fishing. But isn't what you call somebody who employs a sex worker a John? Yeah. That's crazy. We gotta- Whoa, yeah. But not anymore. You can't call him John. Not anymore. Aw. We're not using John. We're not saying that. You can't say- He, he is his own boss. Ah, he's a John and a hooker. I get it. Yeah. Well, we really explored it there. Hooker's just a last name. I should've known that. All right, go ahead. This one i- is a, is also kind of a visual. It's Just Oklahoma Okay. Okay, More Than Just Okay. Just Okay. I'm so sorry. Got it. Just Okay. Just Oklahoma. Just Oklahoma, More Than Just Okay. Well, that's a good name for a town, and a great slogan. I like this. I'm going with real again. I wanna believe. More Than Just Okay. This is fake. Oh. Well, okay. Well, that should be a town. Okay. Y'all did a good job on that one. Yeah. Go out, go out and make a town. And fill it with hookers. And by that we mean people who are good at fishing. Come on. Yeah, yeah. Let's keep it- There needs to be lots of water around there. Right. It's gotta be a fishing place. Ready. Redlyn, Iowa. 857 friendly people and one old grump. I mean, it's just- Well, this has gotta change pretty often, doesn't it? Yeah, people die, people are born. That number, you just can't… We're going fishing, by the way. You can't do that. How do you feel about that? We have, we have fishing on the agenda when we go on our college boys trip. I know. Fly-fishing. I hate the idea of it. But, uh, I will be, I will just be very drunk. But it's fun when there's other people there. I mean, they said I could drink on the boat, right? I'm not gonna give you a rod and reel with a hook on the end of it and a beer at the same time. Just, listen, just give me a beer and call me hooker, and that, call it a day. I'm pretty excited about it. We, hey, we're gonna be talking, we're gonna be h- like, talking about hookers a lot. Well, this is gonna be- Now that we- This'll be the time now that it means fishing. If we get it to catch on with the fishing guide. Right. Right. Then he will then share it with all the other tripters, you know? So we get on the boat with this fisherman. We'll tell you about it after it happens, but, um, hopes are high that we, uh- I don't even know if we- … we survive it I don't even know if we get on a boat. It's a river, but that's what threw me. It was like we're f- you don't fly-fish from a boat. No. You stand in the river You stand in the water. But they were talking about a boat. Maybe we, we might boat to the fishing spot, and then you get out and you, and you wait around. We should watch that, um, fly-fishing movie. A River Runs Through It. Yeah, there's not a lot, there's not a lot of fishing in the movie. There's not enough. Oh, you've seen it? Of course I've seen A River Runs Through It. It's great. Multiple times. Anthony Hopkins. Brad Pitt, right? Brad Pitt, and, uh, is it, who was the other son? Elijah Wood. Is it Thanos? Josh Brolin? Is it Josh Brolin? We're saying this is faker's field while we wait. Are you? No, I'm saying it's real. With the number and everything? Yeah. This is real. Yeah. It refers, the Grump refers to a local legend. So in- Oh … 1904, legend goes, scruffy traveler disembarked from a train in Redlan, and within the first day of arriving wouldn't greet anybody, completely ignored everyone, never smiled, and he became the Old Grump of the town. And to this day, the Old Grump is a title that they give, it's actually like an honor that they bestow on a senior citizen 65 and up that, and they get to be, like, the Old Grump for the year, and they get a license plate cover thing. And y- anyway. That is great. But the population can't change? Like, i- they, they're kicking people out when somebody's born? We gotta keep it at 857. I think they just opened, I think they just adjust the number. They probably sterilized a bunch of people. Yep. So they, population control. It's 'cause they gotta, gotta k- uh, fit with the slogan. All right Next is Jenny, Indiana, population 8,675,309, or if you just sound it out, 8675309. Well, that's real cute, writers. That is real cute. That's a lot of people in a town I've never heard of. Yeah, right. That would be more than, like, the population of most states. But you know what? Yeah. Uh-huh. Jenny, nothing. Th- this is fake. Fake. This is fake. All right, let's move on. Let's forget that ever happened. No, I like it, though. I appreciate it. It was fun. It was fun. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. Gettysburg, South Dakota, where the battle wasn't. Yeah. Well, that's definitely not where it was. Yeah, they really got tired of having to answer that question. People driving all the way there, realizing that's not it. Yeah, once you start driving out there to the west- Yeah, realize it, I don't think there was any fighting in South Dakota whatsoever … you might realize that it's not a, uh, Civil War battle. Mm-mm. Well, we think it's real. So they both said real. You're correct. It is real. Where the battle wasn't. All right. The town was founded the year after the Battle of Gettysburg, and I guess they, they named it in honor of it, and quite a large number of Union soldiers, uh- And- … eventually moved there. Wow. And then they regretted it every, every- 'Cause it was in South Dakota? … since then because it's so confusing. All right. All right. You're not fooling us too much. See what you can do about that. Dogville, Wyoming, a great place to sit, stay, and play. Okay, I like this. Dogville. Dogville. It's the dogville of it all. A great place to sit, stay, and play I mean, I don't think there's a, I don't think there's a, a town called Dogville. Yeah, that, that's my thing. I just don't think that… I don't think we would've done that. Sounds like a game that everybody'll be into next year, you know? Yeah. One of those- So w- you lost us at Dogville … role-playing games. Are we right? Everybody's a dog. You're correct. Yes. It's fake. Yeah. Not even a real place, but a great slogan for a fake place. Okay? You could write a movie. Live in Dogville. There is a movie called Dogville. Of course. Okay. But is it the town? Is it an actual… No. Is it a good movie? Never seen it. Mm-hmm. It's great. It's a great movie. All right, here's our last one. It's Chicken, Alaska. Slogan is, "Bok, bok, bok." I feel like I had to do, right? Yeah, I, I, I didn't really hear you that well. Can you tell me again? Chicken, Alaska. Bok, bok, bok. Well, that's a good chicken. Thank you so much. That's a good chicken, Jenna. Bok, bok, bok, bok. Uh, I believe this is real. When you get into a place like Alaska, which we've been one time, I just think that there's so few people in certain parts of Alaska that I think it's easy to, I think it's easy to name a place. What are you gonna call it? Chick- Not a lot of red tape … chicken. Eh, Chicken, Alaska. Let's call it Chicken. We'll figure it out later. Bok, bok, bok. You know? So you, you believe that there is a Chicken, Alaska? Yes. Because? Why not? And then I think that when they s- started trying to figure out, there's such a dry sense of humor up there, too, ironically. It's a dry cold. Yeah. All right, fine. I think it's real, too. You've convinced me The slogan is fake, but the town exists Okay, okay. See? Oh, God. Well, maybe they'll change it. People of Chicken. Bok, bok, bok. If you're- Come on. Yeah. Come on. You can always change it. Change the slogan. If you change the slogan to bok, bok, bok, we will come visit you. Check out the latest episode of Last Meals over on the Mythical Kitchen channel now.
