Welcome to Good Mythical More.
You clicked through because you wanted to
know where the Wheel of Mythicality was gonna land.
Well, it landed there.
And you know, you get a bonus.
You get a whole Good Mythical More where we
talk about something that I've totally forgotten.
Playlist.
Playlist!
I like Spotify playlists, and.
They are are timed to specific tasks that
we're going to guess.
So by the time you're done with the playlist, you
should be done with the task!
Yeah, it's a thing that some, that Chase said some pasta
company did at some point.
Well, we'll explore that.
But first, let's name a pet.
This pet was submitted via our hashtag,
GMMReadyPetGo hashtag.
From Jay.
Okay?
This is Jay's pet.
But not Jay Pharoah.
It's a little beagle.
Look at that beagle.
He's so pretty.
He's such a pretty little beagle.
Look, he's standing so tall, but he's so short.
Do you see?
I feel like I see a space for it.
Beagle.
Beagie.
Biggie.
Biggie.
Notorious B-E-A-G-L-E.
Weasel.
Weasel the beagle.
- Bagel! - Bagel!
I was close.
Whoa!
I was, this is the closest I've ever been.
What did you say?
Basil?
I was like, it's a play on beagle.
Oh.
But then I went.
But what did you say?
Notorious B-E-A-G-L-E.
Instead of Notorious B-I-G.
Wow.
Wow?
What do you mean wow?
That's pretty close, man.
That's something.
Bagel the Beagle.
So, when you're calling bagel, some people think
you're just calling.
Bagel!
That you're just calling a breed of dog.
Order up!
No.
They think that you're just saying beagle.
Bagel!
Like if you named your dog Collie.
Some people do that.
Some people do that.
Bulldog!
Alright.
Stevie?
Spotify playlists.
Can you show us one?
Sorry?
Can you show us one of these please?
Yeah, so Davanté has made these playlists.
And, you will have to do some quick math.
Apparently the titles in the songs have nothing
to do with anything.
Except for you are more than welcome to talk about them.
You're gonna have to, we'll do a little quick mental math.
This is about seven minutes.
Okay.
Okay.
Seven minutes.
These rhymes are Darryl's.
Is that a hint?
No.
That's nothing either?
I don't know what that is.
What was your inspo for that?
Oh.
Irony.
It's irony.
Oh, these rhymes are Darryl's.
Not really, they're.
They're Solange, Tiara, and Flo Milli.
Okay.
Binz.
Seven Minutes.
Great song.
I love me some Binz.
What do you, what can you do for seven minutes?
Seven minutes in heaven you can kiss.
Oh.
For seven minutes.
That's actually the upper limit.
This is a quality make out session.
All right, well not quality.
This is, this is a like, yeah, seven minutes in heaven.
This is seven minutes in heaven.
Playlist.
Which, which we've done with our, our
friends in high school.
Not with each other.
Yeah.
What would happen when it landed on somebody
you didn't want to kiss?
Like, when it landed on you, we never kissed.
I never, but.
We never kissed.
- Hold on, did you ever. - What did you do, then?
Did you ever kiss somebody?
I think it was the nearest person that you were, that
you would, that you would be eligible to kiss.
But we never, my recollection of this game is we played it,
and then only when somebody who was already like, either
boyfriend and girlfriend or like really interested in
each other, that's when they would like go up to Michael's,
you remember he had that little loft in his house?
Yeah.
I never went up there.
I've also been in a closet.
Sometimes we would go in a closet.
But did you kiss the girl?
You probably didn't.
I didn't, no, I was always too afraid to do
anything with a girl.
But I was sent there a few times.
I was sent there.
I was sent to the, to the zone.
So we're talking about kissing in a closet?
That is incorrect.
Oh, okay.
I have some options for you.
I cut out, I have some options for you.
Seven minutes.
If you'd like to hear them.
It takes about that long to.
We don't wanna hear them yet, I guess.
Like if you, if you spill.
If you spill, like, a jar of beads, like a medium sized
jar of beads, and you gotta put them back in the jar.
That's how long it's gonna take.
In about a 10 by 12 room that has a linoleum floor.
That's gonna take longer than seven minutes.
No, no, no, seven minutes, and there's nothing else in there
except beads and linoleum.
Do you have a broom?
You use your hand and your forearm.
That's taking longer than seven minutes.
Oh, I can do it in seven, easy.
What do I do in seven minutes?
That's my answer.
Maybe cook a Hungry Man meal that you've gotta, like,
stop and rotate and stir.
That's more like five minutes.
How's that?
Hungry Man microwave meal.
I'm sorry to say that even with the specificity
that you're giving me, you are not, not getting it.
I was sure about the beads.
You know, Solange is, she wouldn't want
me to tell you this, but that's Beyoncé's sister.
Yep.
You know, she wouldn't, she doesn't, that's not what
she wants to be known as.
Yeah, yeah.
She is a powerhouse in her own right.
She is.
But she's not as popular, let's just be real.
She's nowhere near as popular.
But, but, would she.
I thought you said she's not a sponsor.
But, I prefer, you know.
Well, I am now sponsored by Solange.
I'm a Solange fan.
Same.
When people, when people ask me, when they put me on
the spot about Beyoncé, I like to talk about Solange.
Well.
Cause it's a way.
Then they can't, like, the, Beyhive
can't come at me for, loving Solange.
So it's, it's like a redirect.
Do you think they like Solange?
- I think they, the Beyhive might. - Oh yeah, of course.
No, they love Solange.
They do?
They get along.
They get along.
Okay.
So, what is it?
- Give me choices. - Would you like some options?
Choices, yeah.
Is it how long it takes to take a shower.
And all these are like, I have the, according to the
CDC, the average shower time.
Okay.
So like all these are like fact, you know, factual times.
Okay.
Wait in the McDonald's drive-thru wait time.
Oh, oh.
Cook one to three scrambled eggs or watch
all the commercials during a sitcom.
Well, sitcom, the commercial should be about.
Eight minutes.
Eight minutes, because you're 22, right.
I think that's what this is.
Sitcom, right there.
22 minute show, 30 minute time slot.
Yeah, but that's seven minutes.
It's a little over.
It's more like eight.
That's my answer.
I'm not going to do the math.
Maybe if you count some of the time, between
the shows that doesn't count as the show itself.
I'm gonna go with scrambled eggs.
You're both incorrect.
McDonald's?
That's too long.
Yeah.
According to the 2021 QSR Magazine data, the average
McDonald's drive0thru wait time is 6 minutes 53 seconds.
The average shower, according to the CDC, is 8 minutes.
To cook 1 to 3 scrambled eggs, it's 3 to 5 minutes.
Okay.
And the average sitcom runs 18 to 21 minutes, leaving 9 to 12
minutes for commercials.
That doesn't add up.
9 to 12 minutes?
Yeah, cause there's a range.
Yeah, 18 to 21.
There's a range.
Okay.
Yeah, I guess when I was thinking about eggs, I
always think about like, the time it takes me to
get the eggs out, to crack them, to mix them.
You don't want to cook an egg for seven minutes.
No, no, no.
In fact, good scrambled egg, you could scramble it.
You could do it in 90 seconds if you're doing
it, doing it real fast.
Yeah, word around my house is that the McLaughlin's
like too soft of a scramble.
Well, yeah, I mean that's because we, you know,
we've, we've got elite egg tastes at our house.
You just have, you just like them undercooked.
All right.
Let's see the next one. Haze E. Res. Haze E. Res. Haze E.
What? Is this a, is this a puzzle in and of itself?
Again, I don't believe it has anything to do with the.
Haze.
So we got.
Last words by Kenny Beats.
It's a minute fifty.
So we got like a.
Come Together by The Internet.
Just under twelve minutes.
Hiatus Kaiyote.
Are these all like, are you actually going
to listen to these?
Davanté, these, this is?
I do listen to these.
Okay, this is your, these are your picks.
Yeah.
I'm not familiar with Q.
It's fairly new.
Okay.
Mk.gee is also pretty new.
Very poppy.
I just found out about Mk.gee.
What do you think?
Oh, but you like it?
That's not the song, the song that.
It's a different song that I like.
This is, okay.
I'm gonna let you play the game and I'm gonna see if
I can remember what I like.
So this is, I don't know exactly, but somewhere
between 11 and 12 minutes.
And, that is exactly the time.
That it would take if I left my house and drove
for five and a half to six minutes and then realized that
I left something at my house and went back to my house.
I recommend Candy.
I think that's the best one.
I would add about eleven to twelve minutes to my trip.
Off of his new album.
This is if you go, if you basically take a wrong turn.
And what if you have an open jar of beads in that car?
Well, I'm going to have to stop to do that.
Because you don't need to be trying to collect
beads while you're driving.
That's true.
So, we're at what, twelve and a half minutes?
No, probably eleven and a half.
But here's the thing.
I think that, there's one bead that got stuck in
between the seats and I had to actually go to the dealer.
Yeah, and get them to take apart the, take apart the
entire seat to find the bead.
We're talking days.
Now, this is all hypothetical, it's never happened.
But that took, in this hypothetical, they
kept my car for four days to find that bead.
Boy.
And, so, that playlist is definitely not this.
I mean, you're gonna have to turn on the Mythical 24/7.
Yeah, that's right!
You saw where it was going!
On Roku!
All right, give us the options.
Is it the, average time for the wait in
the TSA line at LAX?
I'm guessing this is not prechecked.
Or, what are you, like, clear, global, whatever that is.
No matter what, that's wait, it ain't that one.
The amount of time it takes to rewatch Rihanna's
Super Bowl halftime show.
Oh, how long is the halftime show?
That could be it.
That's a good estimate.
The average YouTube video.
No.
What do you think the average YouTube video is?
To fall asleep.
To fall asleep.
Oh!
12 minutes to fall asleep.
Sounds really quick.
None of these are, it's gotta be Rihanna.
Because there's, falling asleep, I think it's, when you
go through each of these, we'll tell you what we think it
is before you tell us.
- The average YouTube video is - Or, we'll tell you now.
heavily influenced by.
All the, videos of fireplaces.
Oh, right.
It's way, the average.
The average.
But there's a lot of real short, crappy ones here.
There are, but there's enough fireplaces and nature videos.
Are shorts included?
Live streams.
Live streams that have been uploaded.
Oh, is that included?
They send it out.
Are not included because this is 2018 data.
2018.
The, but all that being said, the, given that the
average YouTube video.
It's 7 minutes and, 40 seconds.
So, that's not it.
It's Rihanna.
I think it's Rihanna, too.
Well, the answer is watch the average YouTube video.
Dang it!
It's 2018 data.
And the average length is 11 minutes, 42
seconds, but I will say Rihanna's halftime show
was 13 minutes, 50 seconds.
So it's not like way off.
And then according to way.com,
I don't know what that is, average TSA wait time
at LAX is 13 minutes.
So even closer.
Wow.
And then according to the Sleep Foundation, most
adults with healthy sleep patterns take 15 to 20
minutes to fall asleep.
Yeah.
If all of Good Mythical Morning was deleted
from the internet, would that number change?
Have we, have we, have we even impacted the average
length of the YouTube video by one second?
No way, right?
- Because there's like. - Well, if anyone has, it's us.
Because there's a million, how many videos are there a day?
Oh God, yeah.
Not, yeah.
There's 1.7 million podcasts.
Did you know that?
That's gross.
There's 1.7 million actual shows.
3.7 million new videos uploaded to YouTube every.
Okay, yeah, so our 1 a day, or however many, yeah, no impact.
Drop in the bucket.
Let's see another.
This playlist, Picnics in the Park. More Solange.
More Solange.
You like some Solange.
Anderson .Paak, I love me some Anderson .Paak. You got
some Khruangbin in there.
This is for multiple picnics that are happening
in a single park.
Picnics in park.
So this is about 29 and a half minutes.
29 and a half minutes.
Half hour.
I'm impressed by your math.
Thank you.
I went to engineering school.
I did it in my head.
Didn't say it out loud.
I know, but it's been a minute.
No, but I'm, you know, I'm always adding playlists.
Okay.
Cause I, I spill a lot of beads.
There it is.
I have to do the math real quick.
I look at the number of beads, the size of the
room, I do another equation.
It's funny when you said the linoleum and the beads,
like I immediately heard it.
Because I'm constantly hearing you do it.
Yeah.
I'm constantly doing it.
29 and a half minutes, or give or take.
That is a, that's almost a half hour Link.
I think that's how long I sit on the toilet when I really
get in a TikTok wormhole.
Ooh, that's real bad for your rectum.
I know. It is.
It is.
29 and a half minutes is the amount of time.
that if you go to, like, you go back in the day to a kid's
birthday party at a skating rink, and the birthday boy is
the one who decided to have his birthday at the skating
rink, and then all his friends stop roller skating because
they fall and their feet hurt, and then 29 and a half
minutes is the amount of time that he skates by himself
at the end of his party.
That's a long.
Yeah, 29 and a half.
29 and a half.
That's it.
It's my party and I'll skate if I want to.
I will be here for another 29, it closes at
10 and I'm gonna stay!
Have all the cookie you want!
I believe that explanation more than the actual answer.
Oh, really?
Okay.
Oh, that's a hint.
His mom guilted him into it though.
It's like, we paid this much.
Keep it, keep them feet on.
If, listen, if you invite all your friends
and they do not skate.
You will skate.
Somebody bet, I'm not paying for this if
people aren't skating.
But what about during the slow dance?
Poor boy, poor boy out there skating.
Skating by yourself.
For 30 minutes all alone.
Single skate.
Options.
And this is a kid who can cross his feet on the terms,
you know what I'm saying?
Well then, I think you're underestimating
the amount of time.
I remember the summer that I had the courage
to cross my feet as I went around the turns.
Like to, you know.
Oh yeah, I know what you're talking about.
You don't have to show me.
Don't show me.
Alright, alright.
And then I realized, I'm doing it, I'm doing it,
I'm doing it, I'm doing it.
What about backwards?
Backwards skate?
Never really figured that one out.
You gotta do it in an S pattern.
It's, I don't understand it.
It's hard.
Okay, options are.
Sit through a work meeting, which.
29 and a half.
- I mean that's. - It makes sense.
Wait for an Uber Eats delivery.
That's long.
Charge a smartphone 50%.
That's long too.
Wait at the DMV.
Let's, let's go through these.
Start again.
Sit through a work meeting.
Work meetings.
I mean, work meetings, no offense guys, are notoriously
longer than 30 minutes.
Right.
There's some places, like, I've heard, is it Netflix
or Amazon, where there's like, you have, the meetings
can only be 30 minutes?
I think they're like, if you can't get it
done in 30 minutes, you can't get it done.
I don't know, there's some places that are
trying to institute that.
We haven't figured that out yet.
That's not it.
That's not it.
Next.
Wait for an Uber Eats delivery.
I said that's long.
That's not long.
That's like, yeah.
When I look at Uber Eats and it says, like
20 to 30 minutes, I'm like, oh, that's okay.
That's close.
Cause when you take into account, they have to make it.
That's not, but there's a lot of people in, in like
really concentrated areas of the city that do Uber Eats.
And maybe they shorten it up to average, but
that seems too short.
Charge a smartphone 50%.
50%
That feels right to me.
Half hour, 50%.
An hour to charge a smartphone?
Do I need to go all the way?
In 2018 though?
I don't know.
Yes.
That's my top pick so far.
Yeah, that's what I think.
I'm sorry, I didn't hear the last thing you said.
- I was arguing with. - That's our answer.
You think it's charge a smartphone?
Yeah, I don't remember.
You don't think it's DMV?
No.
Okay.
DMV.
Sit through a work meeting. It says,
according to Golden Steps ABA, I don't know what that
is, average work meeting runs 31 to 60 minutes.
I mean, 31?
That's weird.
But yeah, we schedule meetings usually by the half hour, so
it's either a 30 minute or a 60 minute meeting, typically.
Wait for an Uber Eats delivery.
According to Uber Eats, the average delivery time
is less than 30 minutes globally, which is the
official answer for this question, which I think is BS.
- Oh, sore spot. - Charge a smartphone.
50 percent average time is 30 to 45.
So, we're still right.
So again, like work meeting, the bottom part.
You're right.
The charge of your phone, the bottom part, you're right.
And then DMV nationwide, the average wait
time is 39 minutes.
Which actually feels a little bit more accurate
to me than the Uber Eats thing, but you're I mean
sure people are in cities and they're getting really
quick deliveries, I guess.
Now, what if you drop your beads at the DMV?
Right.
Don't you do it.
Don't pick them up.
Don't you do it.
People are in cities, though.
You're right about that.
People are in cities.
Most people, as a matter of fact.
We're bringing all of our Epic Rap Battles to vinyl.
