Transcripts
What is happening here?
Welcome to Good Mythical More.
TikTok is advertising to you and to me with very
specific things because it knows stuff about us.
It knows us.
How well does it know us?
We have acquired items that were actually advertised
to us individually.
And we are going to see if we like it.
Yeah, but first, you really gotta check out the show
that we've been enjoying.
Too Cute for Boots.
Too Cute for
Boots?
Too Cute for Boots.
Boots.
- And it's basically. - Cute boots.
You know, it's a lot of cute people.
Barefoot.
And everybody.
Or other shoes, just not boots.
Just a teeny, teeny, teeny little bit cute for boots.
And what they do is they try to find one person
in every episode who might be not so cute.
For boots.
But so far, we're seven episodes in, we love it,
we watch it basically every night that we can.
We get together.
Yeah, we do.
They keep basically teasing that there's gonna be
somebody who's not too cute for boots, but they
haven't found them yet.
Somebody who, when you put on the boots, they become cuter.
Yep.
Well, I don't know how it's gonna work, because
it hasn't happened yet.
Yeah, it's just, yep.
Have you seen this, Stevie?
Too Cute for Boots?
I, I, yeah?
I mean, I can't stop talking about it.
It's, and me too.
Me too.
Me too.
I love to talk about it too.
I just haven't.
You gotta check it out.
It's more of a Rhett thing.
I didn't wanna, I don't really like Too Cute For Boots.
And Stevie doesn't either.
It's like, I've been talking to her about it.
But what if they find somebody who's not too cute for boots?
What are we gonna do then?
It's kind of a letdown at that point.
Interestingly, the first item that we're going to talk about
is something that we both.
- I don't know what you've. - Got.
You've been advertised.
I'm just gonna.
Link, we both got Incrediwear
anti-inflammatory wear.
We both.
Cause they, cause TikTok knows that we are old.
And so, right here, I've got the.
TikTok, sends us like, all types of, like,
how, like, middle aged men teaching other middle
aged men how to stretch.
They know that we're hurt.
And, but mine is a shoulder.
And mine is a knee.
Now, I think that they just picked out the different
ones for us, just based on what they thought.
No, no, no!
My shoulder is messed up.
This is great for me.
I complain about my shoulders.
And I, and I have pretty, pretty bad knees.
I mean, I definitely think about my knees quite a bit.
I've had issues with them.
Does this go around my? This
goes around, so it's a sling.
It's basically a sling?
Like, I mean, yours is support.
Well, what is this supposed to do?
It's prevent injury, perform better, and recover faster.
Our proprietary fabric is embedded with
semiconductor elements?
The elements are activated by body heat.
They emit negative ions in infrared waves?
Negative ions aid in cellular function and infrared waves
create cellular vibrations.
Am I doing this right?
Leading to increased circulation.
So, do you feel this thing vibrating?
No.
I just, mine is just a sling, basically.
I should've taken my jeans off.
Now, I would like yours.
Well, you can't have it because it's mine.
I mean, I, sometimes I have to travel with a, sometimes
my knee will get weird.
That's how you wear it right there.
See, sling, you can just put it on the screen there for you.
Okay.
I still, so this.
I think it looks good too.
This part goes across the front.
Doesn't it look cool?
Can you feel the ions?
Oh, this goes, so this part, this goes down here.
I would say half of the things that I get advertised to are.
This goes all the way up here.
They know that I'm a middle aged man.
Around my shoulder, and then this goes.
I get multiple things that are to help you not hurt.
Crap.
This goes here.
We should have also gotten the instructions with it.
And then here.
And then this goes here.
Yeah, that'd be good for you, because you still have
a little issue sometimes.
Yeah, but it's my other shoulder.
So, this keeps this shoulder.
I think it'll work on the elbow, too.
This keeps this shoulder.
Yeah, why not?
Maybe I'll just wear this all the time.
This is an elbow thing, too.
Look at that.
It's kinda cool.
Look at that.
I don't know how this works.
Like Steph Curry.
Practical.
But I'm gonna, I'm gonna give it a shot.
Thanks, TikTok.
How much did we pay for this?
Oh, yours was $55.
Yours was $90.
Good gracious.
That thing was $90.
Do you feel good?
No.
Now that you say that.
I feel bionic.
Started his company after a near fatal bicycle accident.
Yeah, been there, done that.
Well, I almost lost a collarbone.
Moving along.
This, this is a little, I don't know about this guys.
What is this?
Jocko Go.
So I know, I know Jocko.
He's like a fitness guy.
And I did purchase his, protein shake at one point.
Well.
I'm not an energy drink guy.
But they think, well you've bought that, maybe, maybe
you want the energy drink?
But you know what, Link?
I do need balance, energy, increased focus,
and the memory support.
And also, I live by this formula.
Discipline equals freedom.
Taste it.
You know me.
Discipline equals freedom.
Discipline equals freedom.
Did you buy the protein stuff off of TikTok?
I don't think so.
I thought I bought it off of Amazon.
TikTok?
Have you ever bought anything off TikTok?
I haven't.
I bought a thing that was supposed to make
your neck feel good.
Oh, so like, that's like, very adjacent to the things
that you're still wearing.
First of all, it's hard to communicate how cool
it feels to drink this with this, thing on.
Like, it feels like it's so easy to lift it.
Yeah, but you haven't even drunk it yet.
It feels weightless.
What sold you about the neck thing that you bought?
Cause I find TikTok, I can't stand the pitches from,
it's like infomercials.
People were like.
Right.
Neck pain and posture or whatever.
And it was like $12 and it was this thing that
you like lay back on.
I got it and I used it and made my neck hurt.
That's right.
Hard work, clean fuel, no excuses.
Now I will say.
What does it taste like?
This does not taste good, but I will say the
energy drinks, not, no, the protein shakes that he has.
are like, they're good, they taste good, and they are,
like, very high protein, very low cal, and they don't have
a bunch of weird stuff in it.
And so, that's why I got it.
Not a sponsor.
I just, it just tastes
like an energy drink, and energy drinks taste bad.
You know what I'm saying?
It just tastes bad.
You don't want that.
But I do wanna get.
It was on sale for $15.
Oh, I'm looking at the wrong one.
It was $3 a can.
Yeah, I'm gonna make it worth it.
36 bucks for 12, 12 ounce.
All right, so what did I get next?
Which one do you want me to go with, this thing?
Okay, what, I don't remember what this is.
Interactive smart toy for cats.
It's a cat toy.
I mean.
It obviously knows that you have a cat cause you
watch a lot of cat videos.
Right, is that what's happening here?
Just cause you watch cat videos doesn't
mean you have a cat.
Well, how does it know that you have a cat?
Because I watch cat videos, I guess.
Have you ever typed in the internet, I have a cat?
I never have.
Maybe it, maybe when I'm looking at my phone, my
phone's looking at a cat and sending it into TikTok.
I don't know if that's how it works.
So, how does this work?
I'm definitely gonna take this home to my cat.
I think someone who watches a lot of cat videos, most
likely has a cat, right?
On sale for 8.50.
See, it's infomercially.
That's exactly what they do in an infomercial.
Whoa, your cat's gonna love that.
Am I doing that?
Your cat's gonna love it.
I'm the cat right now.
I'm the cat now.
And, and, what is this?
The remote.
Stop for a second.
Oh, look, you can make it go around and stuff.
It's so fast!
Whoa!
Well, I broke it.
I'm into it.
I literally, look.
I've already broken it.
Well.
I think the wheel.
I bet you can pop back on.
Pop it.
Sokka is going to love this.
It doesn't really work on a desk.
No, no, no, no.
That's a floor, that's a floor toy.
You put it on the floor, and look, the wheel keeps coming off.
That's probably why it's going in a circle so much.
Now it's gotten slower.
Okay, okay.
He will love it, but I hate it.
Keep it intact before you get home.
Sokka is really getting more.
Old?
Affectionate.
I mean, cats are pretty great.
Am I right?
Oui, oui!
Oh, oui, oui!
Do I count as crew?
Do I have to do it?
Well, I've lost both of the wheels.
What happens when you do no wheels?
It probably makes it easier to control.
That's for a really old cat.
Yeah.
All right, what'd you get next?
We've had this on the show, I believe.
Remember these?
Mberry Miracle Fruit Tablet that turns sour into sweet.
Didn't we try this on the show?
Yeah.
Box this up for me.
I mean, it was on sale for 15 bucks, normally $30 for 20 tablets.
I don't really understand why, I mean, first of all, I
watch a lot of food videos.
Yeah.
Way more than cat videos.
So, maybe it's like, oh, this guy tastes a lot.
$15 for 20 tablets.
Oh, I wonder if it's gonna make Jocko taste different.
That'll be interesting.
I mean, it does work.
Do I chew it?
Experience something truly amazing.
Place one Mberry tablet on your tongue and
dissolve completely.
Dissolve.
Let me bring up my other one while we're waiting.
This little guy right here, I remember seeing this, but
I don't remember, I think it projects. It projects a.
It's a nightlight?
Oh, look at that.
Are y'all seeing that, or is it just me?
So this thing.
Now does it think you have a?
I'm trying to put it in a place where y'all can see it.
Or is this for you?
It's, it projects all types of, like, amazing things.
It's not really.
Oh, it looks like a
nebula in the background.
Yeah, it'll make like a nebula type thing.
These are very trendy right now.
I like this.
Maybe I'll put it on myself.
This will, this will help.
Oh, man.
Look, the head just comes all the way off.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Look, the universe is on your chest.
Yep.
And so it's, how much does this thing cost?
We bought it for $7.
It's not gonna last.
Astronaut projector nightlight.
You can control nebulous speed, brightness, color,
star breathing rate.
Oh, yeah.
Look at that.
I do like these things.
If you're in a dark room.
I got one from my backyard that does a
light show in my backyard.
And it's seasonal.
I can do a little Christmas tree.
I can do Fourth of July.
I can do just any day of the year.
I like this.
But it doesn't have nebula.
Nebula's cool, man.
I like this.
Especially for seven bucks.
Yeah.
As long as the cat doesn't eat it.
It's pretty good.
Let's see how it's gonna change the taste of my Jocko.
It made it better.
It made it better, y'all.
It made it significantly better.
TikTok did us good.
Am I right?
Well, we're not done.
Oui, oui!
Oh, oui, oui.
Oui, oui.
Okay, my last one.
They couldn't, they couldn't bring.
So let's look at your last one before we look at my last one.
Okay.
How do I turn this off?
Maybe unplug it.
Turn it that way.
So, what is this, Turtle?
Here's the ironic thing.
I have this.
You have this?
Yes.
Travel neck pillow.
$60.
It is a, if there's a hard plastic piece on one side
that you lean against.
Then I have it.
How do you get, yeah.
Okay.
Loop around, wrap, and nap.
Oh, I love to nap in public.
Because the.
Come at me.
The traditional neck pillows don't work for
me for some reason.
And so I tried this and it also didn't work for me.
Oh really, you should've given it to me.
No, side.
What?
It goes on one side.
So there's a.
There's instructions right there.
Well I know, I read those.
So, you put that on one side.
Cause you're gonna.
Do the lean lean on one side, and then you
do it kind of tight.
This was the part that was uncomfortable to me.
I felt like I was choking myself.
I always choke myself on a plane.
Yeah, try not to look.
I mean, do I look comfortable?
No.
And I didn't either.
And then this way, it doesn't work.
Yeah, you gotta switch up.
You gotta rotate it.
Oh, this is nice.
Am I right?
Oui, oui!
Yeah, I am.
I'd be willing to, I'm gonna try this.
I tried it.
The thing I liked about it is it's very, it's very packable.
It's very packable.
It's expensive.
You paid $60 for this?
I mean, and I bought it years ago.
I bought it before our trip to
Australia.
Really?
Cause I was like, I'm gonna be on a plane so long, how do
I, how do I figure this out?
I need an, I need the one that you don't use
to go on the other side.
Basically I just need a neck brace.
That's kind of what a travel pillow is, but
they're, my head just kind of falls out of them.
Okay, the last thing that I got advertised, go
to that for me please.
Go to that for me.
It is, well.
I'm gonna put it on the back.
I've already got one.
I'm glad you didn't get it because I already have one.
It's a what?
It's the plunge tub.
I don't have that one.
That's the new one.
The most advanced cold plunge on the planet.
I have the old one that is on the, it has the
chiller on the outside.
It looks.
Is it the same brand?
Yeah, yeah.
Same plunge.
It's the one that was a Shark Tank thing.
So they're trying to sell you the thing
that you already have?
Yeah, I guess I haven't typed in, I already have this.
I need to let the internet know that I've already got it.
So, you bought the Plunge Evolve XL Pro?
No, I blot, I blot the first one, the Plunge XL.
I can't breathe.
I can't.
It was bigger, I'm a big boy.
But I, no, that one's nicer.
The new ones are nicer.
They've upgraded this thing.
But, yeah, again.
Six thousand.
Middle aged dude
Seven hundred dollars.
Who watches, like, people talk about fitness
and nutrition, etc.
It's a sweet spot for somebody who would want one of these.
And they knew, they knew, they knew so well that
I had already bought it.
Help me.
You've been in it.
Help me, I'm.
You got in it one time and you
screamed a little bit.
I actually got in it twice.
The second time I didn't scream that much.
Oh, you got in, when I wasn't there, you,
you jumped over the fence?
Didn't I get in it twice?
I don't remember.
All right, I'm very happy with this.
I'm very happy with the cat toy.
I don't know how to use this yet, but I do feel
I'm happy about this.
I'm gonna need to be happy about it.
Am I right?
Oui, oui!
Thanks, TikTok!
I'm ready to churn.
I'm 45 years old.
I find that things hurt,
and I don't know why, and then two weeks later
it's still hurting.
Paying the price.
