We're judging a pumpkin carving contest Welcome to Good Mythical More. Let's judge- Your pumpkins … some jack-o'-lanterns made by the crew Now. Oh, now? Just, just, just get started? Yeah, now. Well, let's see the first one. Why not? Sarah, bring me your Sarah. What do you, what do you want, what did you want to do? Nothing. Hello. Hey, Sarah. All right. Whoa, she's already turning it around. Yeah. It's a pizza face. Oh. It's a slice… What? Oh, it's not a pizza face? No. Well, hold on. This is a pizza. No. And this, there's the eyes, and there's the mouth. It's, it's ingenious. Yeah, we love it. Pizza face, yes. We love it. We love the pizza face. There's the eyes. It's a… It's a competition. This is the nose. Whatever makes you happy. Uh- Well, hold on If it's a pizza. Well, h- let's start over. Okay. Okay. All right. Okay. All right. Maybe tell us, tell us something before you show us this- … so that we don't think it's pizza. All right, all right Maybe, maybe shape our expectations. Okay. Um- Yes. And the shape shouldn't be like a pizza. This is a watermelon slice. Ah, yes. A watermelon slice. You can see the seeds. Yes. You were so close to doing a pizza. Have you ever seen a pizza with, like, evenly distributed toppings like that? Uh, you know what? Now that I see it. Well, it was a choice. Now that I see it, I see it. It's also sparkly. And there's the spar- the spar- Yeah … these sparkles are hard to do. Why, why did you choose a watermelon slice? Well, it's, like, my favorite thing to eat in the summertime, and so when these guys come into the grocery store, that means these guys leave. So… Oh. Oh. So this, uh, this is, like- This is the loophole watermelon … representing the change of seasons. Hm, hm. And there's a conceptual tie right there with the seeds. There's watermelon seeds- Absolutely … and pumpkin seeds. Don't help her … all of these things. And it's in the- But, like, look at the stars. I like the, the shape, the perfect shapings of the stars- Yeah … next to the, the watermelon. Yeah, and the, the… And you said those- And you can tell these are the eyes, and that's the mouth And then that's the pizza. Yeah. Are, you are t- did, did you intend for this to be a mouth and these to be eyes? I- It's so happy looking … I don't think I see what you're seeing. What pepperoni slices look like that? Pepperoni slices are not that big or small. I'm not talking about that anymore. I'm just saying this is a nose. But this is the rind. This is the rind. I know, but it's also- A mouth … what, what you've done is you've made a mouth, eyes, and a nose. Oh, it's hot in there. And you didn't, you didn't even mean to do that part of it. I wanted e- everybody to believe the real, the real, real, re- real, uh, pie. The best part is the part you did by accident. The face? Yeah. I'll, I'll take it. Yeah. Which is awesome. Thanks. On a scale of one to 10, I'm going to, um- Scale of one to 100. Why? 'Cause I want everybody to feel better about themselves. It's more numbers. I mean, I feel like a zero out of 100 feels worse than a zero out of 10, so. Yeah. It can be a scale of one to 10. If we make it a scale of one to 100, it's less likely that for there to be a tie. That's always the reason to do up to 100. All right, fine. Let's do 1,000. Uh, yeah, even less likely. Yeah, let's do 1,000. Okay, on a scale of one to 1,000. On a scale of one to 1,000. I'm gonna give this a- 730 … 888. Wow. Oh. That's a really nice score. Thank you. Okay. All right. Okay, yeah, it's pretty good. Pretty good. Not, I mean, not that you meant to do all of it. Did you think it was pizza? Well, you said pizza, and here I was… Yeah, it's like, saw pizza. So when I… So it's my fault? Yeah. It was like pizza, but the toppings were teardrops is what I thought. Teard- teardrop pizza. Like a sad pizza. Everybody's favorite type of pizza. Julian. Julian. It's- Now, there's a lot of pressure on Julian. I mean- Oh, God. I bet you guys like faces … being from the art team. Well, I just wanted to make a little guy. Oh. See, you see how artistic people think? They're like, "I'm gonna- He turned it on its side I'm gonna turn it on its side, make it a nose." Things that we would never even think of. And it, and the, the teeth are still there. He's, he's got teeth. Look at those teeth under there. And a hat. A dunce cap. Yeah. Yeah, he's a little doofus. I like him. Can, can I? Is there- Can I pull this off? Is there something to hide under there? Be gentle. Oh, no. The answer could be no. Like a growth or anything? There. Oh. It's his hat. It's his hat. Wow. Now, I didn't immediately think it was something other than a face. So points for that. Points for ingenuity. He looks sad, though. And I don't like that. Aw. He's smiling- But he's got a smile. He's smiling, but he's sad. He looks like he- Those eyes look relaxed to me. Those are relaxed eyes. It's like this. Yeah. Yeah, and- Do we, should we give them eyelids? Does this man look happy? No. He looks like Ghostface. It looks- From Scream? That's the one. Yeah, I was thinking he looks like the guy from Scream. I don't mind sad at Halloween. I think it's, we should explore all the emotions. Okay. That's a, that's a good point. I'm gonna give this one an 874. I'm gonna give it a 590. Aw, you made him sad. Wow, that's, uh, w- No, he was already sad. That's my point exactly. Wow, that was very low. Okay. All right. Okay. I didn't like it. I just didn't like it. I see that. Chase. Chase. Okay. Now, Chase must have a little pumpkin because- It is a smaller one. Oh, he got the doof. All right. Okay. Okay Oh, it's very flat. So, uh- What happened, Chase? My, uh, I had people carve over the… I, I'm the, the … I produced this episode. I had people carve some of these over the weekend. Mm-hmm. And then a lot of them rotted. Um- … and so this is a picture of my pumpkin after it had already started to decay. You can see a little mold spot in it. I didn't get a before photo either, so, uh - Well, it would've just been a pumpkin. Um- Yeah, and we can infer what it looked like before you carved it. Uh- The hands were out like this before. Oh, really? Yeah. But so you made- Yeah … a big hole, and then you just put a little pumpkin guy in there? No, I carved that. It was part of the pumpkin. Oh. But yeah, but who is he supposed to be? It was a scarecrow that had a jack-o'-lantern for a head. Whoa, inception. And it had, like- Oh … it had, like, kind of, like, flowy arms here and, like, kind of tenderly claws. And- And it was cool for, like, maybe, like, 24 hours, or? It was pretty fun. I, I thought it was pretty fun. Um, it was … I think it was cool for, like, 48 hours and then- Okay … uh, it's been more humid here in LA than it typically has. And I didn't account for that. Yeah, it's not great pumpkin weather. Not great pumpkin weather. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Okay, so I can imagine the s- the scarecrow on the pumpkin with a pumpkin head, so a jack-o'-lantern within a jack-o'-lantern. That's, that's a good idea. It, it's all about how many points I'm gonna deduct for it completely rotting. I'm gonna say many. I was think- I'm thinking, like, 900. Okay, that's a lot of points. Also what? I was gonna say that, you know, other people's pumpkins rotted, but it was, uh, because I made them carve. Oh, so we'll only take the score away from you. I just don't feel like it's right to, yeah- Okay … deduct from those people who made it in time. We definitely, we can't have a pumpkin that we don't experience in the real world win the whole thing, though. No. So we might have ha- have a 2D winner. What if this is a new category? I like the concept. But I think the execution is a bit- Uh, middle school. Whoa. Ooh. I have an imagination and I can imagine- I mean, I couldn't do better … what, what it would look like, and I think it's a great concept. In the new category that is now splitting off from the other category, the 3D category and the 2D category, I'm gonna give this a, uh, a 910. What? Ooh. I'm winning the 2D category. Yeah. It's a 2D. It doesn't matter. It's 2D. It's 2D. Okay. I mean, I think it's a great concept. I could not- I love the animation … I could not have done better. I am a middle school level jack-o-lantern maker. When I was the only person on our art department, I think I gave some stuff that was better than middle school. Yeah, but not this. Okay, fine. But no, I'm just … No, don't act hurt. You, you … I'm just- I spent a lot of time on it You do your job, I do my job. Yeah, hey, h- Multiple meetings in the boardroom happened around me while I stayed and carved and got those arms. Well, if you're gonna play the pity card, Chase, then fine. And you got a 910 for me. I'll give you a 900. Hey. I take back everything I said. I'll play any card I can get. I'm, uh, I'm, I'm willing to, to pander. You look, you look so good today. Don't make it worse. Honestly, it's, it's all pepper- Don't- … no salt … don't make it worse. You sh- All pepper, no salt. All right. I'll give … Concept. I, high school. I think you're at high school. Oh, it w- … Okay, upgrade to high school. I'll take that. I'll take that. Um. That's what people say when I show up. Yeah, 900. I'll give it a 900. Okay. In a 2D category. In the 2D category. All right. Yeah. Thank you very much. So you're currently leading- Yeah. But I can't really … I mean- As the only entrant into the 2D category, you're currently winning. Yeah. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Uh, Megan. I'm not, I'm not… I'm gonna stop being so hard on everybody. I don't… Good. I don't wanna hear- No, you can't do that now … your critiques. Thanks. I gotta keep doing it? You have to be e- you have to, you have to be even with everybody. Do… Say something before we see it, because I think the mistake people are making is they're spinning it, we're looking at it- Mm-hmm … judging, and we're not hearing what you're saying. Okay. Um- So- I did this completely to pander to you, and all I wanna do is win. Okay. Okay. Well, that's as simple as that. You can never get enough. Oh. Oh, it's a r- We have some- It's the Randler. We have some oohs and aahs. It is a very well-formed Randler. Did you print out and stencil this? No. This is freehand? Freehand. Free carve. Okay. And it didn't even rot. Yeah, I- I was not victim- Oh … to the weekend massacre. What's that right there, Rhett? It's a little bit loose, but no one would know. Stop. Don't hit it. That's loose right there. I feel like… It's like a tooth. You need to pull it. But we don't- Stop. Um, so- You freehanded that? Yeah. I, I appreciate that about it, but- I love it … it all kinda comes down to it just being a shape in a pumpkin. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. 350. It d- I mean, I wasn't gonna say that. I was gonna, I was gonna say 525. Okay, yeah. Yeah. You both look so nice today. I was gonna say 525, you know? 525. All right, fine. I'll give it a 500. Okay. Wow. This is crazy. This is insane. I mean, I… But this thing- It's nice. Do you hear the oohs, the aahs? Yeah, I did. Yeah. I mean, Sarah's was just so much better than I realized now that I've… 'Cause it had the d- it had the, like, double layer kinda thing. Yeah, yeah. I mean, even though it kinda looked like pizza. Okay. Thank you, Megan. I'm done with you guys. Yeah, see? You can be hard on them, too. Uh, Mikayla. Hey. Before you reveal that- This is- And I don't know why there's so m- much aluminum foil on it. Uh, we would like to remind you that you can show us your pumpkins that you carved, too. You want us to judge your pumpkins? So you can actually do this over on the Mythical Society Discord in the dedicated channel. Mm. And then we're going to pick some of our favorites by October 30th. We'll go easier on you. Okay? But not really. Uh, that's mythicalsociety.com/showusyourpumpkin. Show us your pumpkin. Well- Okay … show us your pumpkin. I have the foil on it because it is starting to rot. Okay. So keep that in mind in your judgment. Anything else you wanna say? No. I give up. Here it is. Oh. Here she is. Oh. Oh, God. Uh, okay, let's, let me make the, let, so is this an, is that an owl? It's an owl. There's, I have- Oh, huh … a 2D version of it, too. But it's a owl and a moon. An owl and a moon? Howling, owling at the moon? Owling at the moon. Did you come up with that? I, yeah, I came up with that. No, you did not. I did. Just sayin'. And then what is- Owling at the moon … what are these two, what's over here? Just a little bu- That's- … little bunny rabbit coming this way? No, that's the moon face. Yeah, it's a- It does look… That's a bunny rabbit. That right there, that is a bunny. See, it's starting the rotting. Like, you can see the rotting. Okay, that's the whole moon with a face. An owl. The whole moon. And then a owl. An owl and a bunny. Owl and a moon, and then a little bunny coming out of the moon's face. What bunny? It's just a little bunny. Ear, nose, but- What bunny? It's just a little bunny. It's fine. That's, ac- There's no bunny … you get 70 extra points just for the bunny. Okay. So just take it. I think it's interesting. This is- … this is an original concept. Mm-hmm. It's based off of my tattoo that I wanted so much. Oh, so it's not original. It's semi-original. Okay. My moon tattoo. There's no owl. But no owl. I don't want a owl on my body, but a owl in a pumpkin, cute. It's Halloween. Okay, so it represents you, at least half of it. Mm-hmm. Um, hmm. This is pretty good. Uh, I'm trying to imagine- Yeah, that's pretty good … I'm try- is this, this is it at its most pristine? Yes, freshly made. Okay. Freshly carved. All right, 42- And I think that looks great … 421. It looks like the moon is intimidating the owl, and I don't, that makes me uncomfortable. He, he's a little shocked because the moon, you know, just popped out with a face one day. And- Right there in front of him … right there in front of him, and the moon having that face. So there's a story. There's a little story. All right. I'll- There's a little context … I'll give it a 499. Okay. Not, and that's not bad. I mean, that's not y- it's not bad. It's not bad. It's not bad. I mean, you sh- you should not be disappointed. Not bad. It's, oh- Call it a prototype … 421 plus 70, 491, 'cause of the bunny rabbit. Mm-hmm. So 491 and 499. I think y'all can do better than that. Yeah. I think you can too. I'm gonna remember that. Oh, wow. I'm gonna remember that. Thank you for the set up. I'm We are such a good team. I think you can do better than that. Zach, uh, entering in the 2D category. Yeah. Can I be honest with you guys? I wasn't even planning to do this episode. I was just in the office when they were carving these. Okay. We got hedging to start. Okay. Seems like yours rotted. It did rot, but- You're, you're in the 2D competition … but it rotted the least of anybody's. I expect points for that. All right. Um, so I made this little guy that- Ooh … I got real emotionally attached to, and then came in the following Monday and was told he died. Oof. So, uh- So what, what are you… I don't understand before and after. So the- What's the difference? Apparently, the after looked pretty normal, and then Julian opened it and it was just- Rancid? … just full of mold Oh. So yeah, gave him- Julia Faye, nope … gave him some nice little eyes. There is a lot of personality in this. It's, it's deceptively simple. But- What's- … the way the nose is, like, a plug that then, like, sits in there and kinda comes out and then- What… Tell us about that nose. So I, I took one of the eye holes. Yeah. Um, and then I carved the nose down to, like, a triangle plug. Mm. Turned it sideways and set it in there. Hm. Little, little, little of the woodworking skills coming through on this one. Oh. Have you seen this technique- 'Cause you're a tech guy … have you seen this technique for the eyeballs done before? Um, I've seen something like it from someone that'll carve out pumpkins and, like, put them on top, but I went for the inset because I, uh, had an hour. I like this because you have the white of the eyes and then- Yeah … the pupil. Like- It kinda looks like glasses, and it also looks like bagels. This is really speak- This is speaking to me. Like, if I saw something, if I s- the thing I like about this is if you saw it on a doorstep, even from a distance, you would be like, "Oh, there's a guy." A boy. It's like a boy. I, I could see how you developed a relationship with this boy. Yeah, I, I was. It, it felt like young me, 'cause I was never a big fan of Halloween. I was always too scared. You were scared? Yeah. So this was like an internal representation that Chase- Your young self died … trust me. What does Chase- Over the weekend Chase in the 2D category has 1,810. Uh, and what was Chase's, what was Chase's? Not as good as this. Yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. Give it back. Yeah, look at that. And the- In, in the 2D category, I'm gonna give this a 960. Yeah. I think I'm gonna also give it a 960. Oh, wow. I feel- Yeah … I feel great about that. And this, this is a tech guy. Yeah, yeah. I mean, we didn't expect it from him. Nope, we don't expect it. Yeah. Don't expect much out of me. Yep. We keep the expectations low. They're ki- they're slowly raising though, Zach. I appreciate it. Wow, that's very, very good. Happy to deliver. Okay. Y'all don't know how to score anything. That's cr- that was great. Okay, Victoria Okay, now we don't really know Victoria, so we're gonna be nice to her. That's right. Uh-huh. So be nice. She is in the 2D category. Be nice. Right, say… All right, so- I was actually the very first one to carve a pumpkin, which did not help me- Not a… Yeah … in the end, unfortunately. Okay. All right, so we know this is- That's all you gotta say? Um, so I took a different approach because I knew if I did, like, a 2D pumpkin, it would look really bad. 2D? Yeah, like just a face in the pumpkin. I don't have- Gotcha … the technical skills- Okay … to be that detailed. Got it. So I decided to break the frame of the pumpkin, and this is- What? … what I did. Oh, what? I made a spider. Hey. You made a spider. And then Charlotte's Web happened. Wow. We're gonna ignore, we're gonna ignore the after, and also we're gonna ignore the picture of me in the upper right-hand corner. I'm looking at… You c- you can see it a little better over here if you want to look here, Rhett. Um, that- So, so w- the, the legs- … it's pretty intricate … those are holes. So when you light it, light comes out from everywhere a leg was cut. In theory, yes. Mm-kay. And you went with eight legs? Yes. Okay. A full eight. Full eight. But she only went with two eyes, which is not correct. Okay, well that's- Spiders have, like, thousands of them. They, like- But car- but cartoon spiders usually have two eyes. Thank y- yes. You know what I'm saying? It is scary. I mean, you're instinctively scared of a spider, and then you got this on your doorstep. It's very animatable. Thank you. Okay. Okay, taking into account that, um, we're just getting to know Victoria, uh, this is very ingenious. Hmm. Had you seen this before, or was this a completely novel creation? I definitely went to Pinterest. Okay. All right. You shouldn't have said that. Okay. All right. Boy, you… So you have c- you have plagiarized Pinterest. Mm-hmm. Okay. I took inspiration. Okay, so I'm gonna give you- Was it a spider that you saw? … inspiration. Yes. It was a spider. She ripped off- I'm gonna give you a 959. Thank you. But then we're gonna do the plagiarism penalty. Oh, I, I included that. You included it? Yeah, because Zach had 960 from me, so… Mm. So you think this is better than Zach's? No, 'cause 959 is lower than 960. Oh, yeah. Um- I'm gonna give you, I'm gonna give you a 900, and then b- for the plagiarism, I'm gonna give you an additional 65. Thank you. 'Cause I am pro- You're adding points for plagiarizing? I am, I am… Yes. As, yes. So I believe you just put her into number one in the 2D category. I, I, I won the drug, the drug awareness contest- That's true … when I was in fourth grade, and I, I plagiarized. He did. It went, worked out great for me. Yeah. I forgot he's pro-plagiarism. I am pro-plagiarism. Darn. Okay, you've moved into first place, Victoria. Awesome. Of the 2D category. And now Jenna. Thank you. Jenna, Jenna, Jenna, Jenna, Jenna, Jenna, Jenna. What just- I'm, I'm the last one. Okay. So. And, uh, are you trying to- Is this pandering? … bring Appleby in here in order to sway us? It wasn't. He was, like, just asleep. Look at how cute he is. He's woken up a little bit now. It's just disgusting, he's so cute. It was… I know. It is. It's so disgusting. Look at how gross he is. He just came in our, he came in our office and he just laid down on the couch. It's his couch now. He doesn't care. No, he doesn't. Somehow Jenna has taught this kitten to play without putting his claws out. Yeah, soft paws, don't you? Like, he, he, whenever- Be gentle … he'll go like this, then he'll start hitting you. Yeah. But his claws don't come out. He, da-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa. It can be done. It can be done. And then you're gonna train him to, like, use a leash, and you're gonna hike with him? Yeah, we've been doing it. We haven't, we're, we haven't done a hike yet, but we've been on a leash. Yeah. He's a good boy. Would he be mad if you took him out? All right, let's see this. He won't be mad if I took him out. Is he looking at me? You wanna, you wanna hop out, bud? I see a dog. You wanna hop out? Or you wanna stay in? Oh, stre- whoa. What you think? What should we do? Well, let's, let, leave him in. Make an assessment. Leave him in. Leave him in, but we'll see your, um- Yeah, yeah, mine also rotted, but this was, uh… Whew. Oh, we have a cat. We have, it, it's a kitten ghost. It's the, it's the life he lost on the road before I picked him up. Yes. Aw. Definitely lost a leaf one. So he's a, he's- I did not think of that ahead of time. I just thought of that to pander, so. And it was beautiful. Do you want your other paw out? So this is- I think the problem is, though, when you put a candle behind that- Make-up … you're not gonna be able to see- Yep … what's going on. Whoa, whoa, he's doing a Ha- he's doing a Halloween pose. You see that? Good job, buddy. He did it? Yeah, he did a Halloween pose. You're so smart. Um. Isn't he the greatest? Yeah. This is a lot like what Chase was trying to do. Um. Yeah. Chase, yeah, you need to plagiarize Jenna next time. Yo, dude. Look at that cat just sitting there. I have two cats. Good job, bud. This is, this is super cute. Uh, well, the before is. The after is embarrassing. Sad, yeah. It was really sad. Yeah. Uh, okay. I'm not gonna take, I'm not gonna add or take away points for the presence of the kitten. Yeah. Uh- Don't show your butt … I am going to say this is a solid- 959.5. I, I'm gonna give it 800, but wait. But wait. But wait, there's more. If you agree to taking this cat in the next 48 hours- 48 hours … to get his balls cut off- Oh … then I will increase the points by another 150. Well, I set the appointment for next week, though. Like, it's not in the next 48 hours. It's, it's Monday next week. Well, you're supposed to make it seem like you were doing it for me. Chop, chop, buddy. I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for him and for me. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. This isn't about you. No balls in my house. This isn't about you. No, it's not. I guess 1,000. Oh, oh. You just gave her 1,000? Yeah. Okay. I think that means Jenna takes the 2D category. Jenna takes the 2D category. Uh- Sorry, Zach and Victoria. Who- Come here, buddy. Uh, who took the 3D category? Sarah. Oh, our first one. Yeah. Yeah. I think you deserve it, Sarah. That was, that was fabulous. Congratulations. Hey, remember, go on the Discord as, of the Mythical Society. We'll judge you. Mythicalsociety.com, show us your pumpkin.
