- Hey, Foxy Mama.
Today we're eating in the '70s.
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
- Good Mythical Summer!
- You might be wondering why we're dressed like this.
Well, we got a pretty groovy reason for it.
But first we have an even groovier announcement to make.
- Are you ready?
Good Mythical Evening is back.
- Yes!
- Yes, we're doing it again, y'all!
(crew cheers)
- Yes!
Glug, glug, glug, glug, glug.
- Uncensored, unhinged, unsober, and unmissable.
- Unmissable is right,
because this time around we're
doing something a little bit different.
Get ready for Good Mythical Evening: Pain or Pleasure.
You decide.
It's an event filled with all of the pleasures and pains
that we're not allowed to do here on YouTube.
- Yes.
- And for the first time ever, you,
dear ticket possessing viewer,
are gonna have a huge influence on what happens to us.
- Yes.
You will be deciding what happens during the show.
There's gonna be live voting,
live decisions made right in front of your eyes,
will we be pleasure?
Will we be pain?
- No.
- Well, it's your call and it's kind of scary,
if I'm being honest.
- I know.
We got so much planned.
It's new stuff.
We've done it for two years
and I remember every minute of it.
- Right.
- And I'm sure I'm gonna remember every minute of this one.
So totally new stuff planned this year.
Good Mythical Evening is going down on August 24th
at 10:00 PM Eastern, 7:00 PM Pacific,
streaming live on Kiswe.
- And this is pretty cool.
Another thing we're doing for the first time this year,
Good Mythical Evening will also be
streamed live at participating Alamo Drafthouse locations-
- What?
- Across the US.
So seating is very limited for those,
so be sure to grab those tickets early.
- I'm such a fan of their theaters.
- I love 'em!
- They serve you food-
- While you watch.
- While you're watching.
- But you don't like to eat
and watch things at the same time,
so you eat before it starts.
- Well, if I was watching myself get plastered,
I'd probably be hungry.
- Okay, good.
- Pre-sale for all tickets is open now
for 2nd and 3rd Degree Mythical Society members only.
And then tickets are open wide to everybody on Monday,
July 17th, beginning at 6:00 AM Eastern, 3:00 AM Pacific.
- And some of the ticket packages
include this amazing T-shirt.
Good Mythical Evening: Pain or Pleasure.
You decide.
- [Link] I like it.
- So go over to goodmythicalevening.com for all the details
and to purchase your tickets.
- And oh my God, we're in the '70s!
(Link laughs)
It's the decade that we were born in!
That is so funky, slamming, copacetic, far out, man.
- Quick, we gotta go find our parents
and make sure they fall in love or else we won't exist!
I don't know why I sounded like Garth.
(crew laughs)
- Don't worry about it.
I actually brought my dad here.
- Oh great.
- Hey Dad, how you doing?
- I'm doing good.
Doing good.
Good to see y'all.
Bringing back the '70s to me.
Just making me reminisce
and having flashbacks about what I did in the '70s,
so it's good to be here with you.
- Oh, well one of the things you-
- Say more.
- One of the things you did is you had a little baby boy.
A little baby boy in 1978.
- Me!
1978.
- What was the best part of being a '70s dad?
- Well, being the best part of a '70s dad was,
I got through spreading all my wild oats
before he was born.
- It was a lot of '70s before I was born.
- He was your last oat?
(crew laughs)
- Yeah, he might have been!
He was my first of my last wild oats out of three.
(Charles chuckles)
(Link laughs)
- Okay.
- You're the first of the last wild oats out of three.
- I'm a wild oat.
- Put that on a T-shirt and sell that.
- All right, I've brought dad here
to relive some of the unique recipes
from the '70s that have been lost to time.
And by relive, Dad, I mean you get to watch us eat 'em
'cause we didn't ship any of this stuff to you this time.
You cool with that?
- Thank you very much.
(Rhett laughs)
- Oh, are they gonna be bad?
- I don't know.
- And what are you wearing, by the way?
- I got my John Travolta "Saturday Night Fever" suit on.
I'm ready to go.
I'm back in the '70s.
- You might have to give us the bottom half at some point.
- We make quite a trio.
All right, it's time for Time Travel Tastings: 1970s.
- [Stevie] Hey there, Space Cadets.
It's me, sexually fluid but only under the influence
of psychedelics Stevie.
- Oh, whoa!
- Really?
- That's an acronym.
- [Stevie] You're about to taste four different real recipes
from the 1970s, which is where we are now,
and after you taste them,
you'll decide if the recipe makes you say outta sight
or that ain't right.
And here to deliver your food is Astrid Svenson.
- Astrid.
- Hey, hey, hey, how are you?
- Good. - Hello.
- I'm Astrid Svenson.
- What a suit!
- Thank you, it's quiet.
I am the fifth member of ABBA, unofficially.
I have to say that legally.
And oh my God, is that Charles Neal?
- Yeah, that's my dad there.
- You look good.
(crew laughs)
(Rhett laughs)
- You look good too!
(Rhett laughs)
- I haven't seen you since like last summer.
How you been doing?
- Been doing good.
(crew laughs)
- Okay. Food!
(Rhett laughs)
- Dad was hanging out with me last summer.
- Oh, but it's the '70s.
You're not alive.
All right.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- So this is from McCall's Great American Recipes.
- Yum.
- It is ham and banana hollandaise
and it describes what's in it.
(Rhett laughs)
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Ham, banana, and hollandaise.
Thank you, Astrid.
Now Link, if my memory serves me correct,
we had this with Ryan and Shane on the Watcher channel.
It's slightly different.
- It's ringing a bell.
I think it's an alarm bell.
Oh, it's, it's kinda mushy.
But yeah, there's a whole ham thing wrapped.
You know the ham thing?
- Ham-dle.
- And then it's wrapped around there
and then I just kind of-
- I'm going, are you having a lot of trouble.
I'm just going straight for the middle here.
- I think you're supposed to probably use a fork.
Did they have those in the '70s, Dad?
- No, they came out in the eighties.
- Oh yeah, we had forks.
(crew laughs)
- Okay.
- Oh well, dang.
I should have used a fork.
- [Link] Yeah, it's -
- [Rhett] It's not bad.
- It isn't bad.
- It really isn't bad.
- It's banana and salty ham.
But then it's that tangy, tangy hollandaise
that makes it all kinda come together.
- Charles, you ever had a peanut butter,
banana, and mayonnaise sandwich?
- Had one last week.
- I knew you would've had one!
That's a, it sounds crazy, but that's a southern thing.
My dad loved them too.
- He had one last week, I heard.
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah.
- And it it's that tangy,
there's something about the mayonnaise
and the bananas together that the hollandaise is doing,
but then you throw in a little bit of ham.
- I think we're liking it.
But before we give our final answer,
you got any like '70s fun fact for us?
- Yeah, I got one for you.
In the 1970s, seat belts were optional and so was underwear.
It was a slanky time.
(Rhett laughs)
- It was a what time?
- Stanky time.
I'm sorry, stanky.
- Slanky and stanky.
- [Charles] I must've used stanky.
- When you said shlanky, I was right there with you.
- Shlanky.
- Whenever I don't wear underwear,
I say it is a shlanky time.
So I mean, I get it, man.
- [Link] Ham and bananas hollandaise.
- [Rhett and Link] Out of sight!
- Hey, I'm back.
- Yeah, shlank on in here.
- This is from a 1974 Weight Watchers recipe book.
It's called a jellied tomato refresher.
- [Rhett] Yum.
- I actually made these for the Bee Gees
for breakfast one time.
I was dating all three of them.
You remember right, Charles?
- Oh yeah, I remember.
(Rhett laughs)
- Oh man, so it's got, you know,
gelatin, tomato, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce.
- Oh.
- And green pepper.
Enjoy.
- Boy, that sounds like a great combination.
- Dad, did you eat this in the '70s?
- Oh no.
If I made it with tomato juice,
we just made Bloody Mary's.
It didn't have no Jell-O in it.
- Okay. Yeah.
This doesn't seem like-
- You're gonna hate this, man.
Just smell it.
Think of it like congealed ketchup.
- Okay, I like ketchup.
That's exactly what it is.
- Yeah.
- Congealed ketchup.
It's so weird.
- The number of steps this thing went through
to show up in a cookbook.
- Yeah.
- In 1974.
Like what was happening in the world?
- I don't know.
Dad, give us a fun fact.
What was happening in the world?
- Well, if you wanted to lose weight out of that book,
you'd eat that and you wouldn't eat anything
for about two days.
That's how they lost weight back then.
- He's saying it would give you the craps.
- Yeah.
- Is that your fun fact?
- That's the only fact I got about food.
That food, anyway.
- Okay.
I mean, I was told you had a fun fact.
- You you got other facts about '70s?
- [Charles] Oh, I'm sorry.
- For everything.
- Okay, I got another one that says the 1974 movie,
"Jaws," was based on a goldfish that bit me once.
Don't worry, I flushed it.
I flushed that little a-hole.
(Rhett laughs)
- [Rhett] Yeah, you did.
- And you meant every word of it.
- Yeah, you did.
- Dad, I'm-
- That sounds like it actually happened.
- I'm sorry to hear that that actually happened to you, Dad.
And I didn't know that that's how,
yeah, I should see that movie now.
- Well, you know he's told that story 1,000 times, right?
- Right, he has.
You can tell.
- [Rhett] Yeah.
- This, are you, is any part of you liking this?
- I'm done.
No, and you know what?
I love everything and the 1974 version
of me and the 19, well what is it now? 2023?
No, it's 1974.
- We're in '70s still.
- Yeah.
Jellied tomato refresher.
- [Rhett and Link] That ain't right!
- Hey.
- We got another one.
I'm gonna put it in front of you this time.
(Astrid giggles)
- Thank you.
- This is hot.
Okay.
- Yeah.
- That is from 1972.
It is a recipe from the Hamlin Publishing Group,
called pear and tuna pizza.
And speaking of groups,
I once served this to the Village People
for dinner after a big show.
I wanted to date all of them
but they were not all attracted to me.
- [Rhett] Yeah. Yeah.
- Were any of 'em?
- I've heard.
- There was one that I thought maybe, but no.
So you've got canned tomatoes,
canned tuna, pears, onions, and-
- That's a pear?
- I hear it's mixed in the sauce.
- Well then, what's the black thing?
- Well that's, you know, I don't remember.
(Rhett laughs)
- She's spending too much time with the-
- Village People.
- Trying to get the Village People to be-
- Oh my gosh.
- Full of interest.
Okay, what is the black stuff?
- [Stevie] Pickled walnuts.
- [Rhett] Pickled walnuts?
- What?
- [Stevie] Man.
- I mean, but how does, how does that happen?
- Dad, does this look good to you?
- No.
(crew laughs)
- I think maybe, I think maybe you forgot
what it was like to be in the '70s.
I mean, y'all are eating some crazy stuff,
which technically means that's what we are made out of.
Because what your parents were eating
is what babies are made of, Link.
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
That's exactly right.
- Right?
- [Stevie] I think we established
that Link is made out of wild oats.
- Yeah, right. See?
- Yeah.
I think one wild oat.
- Yeah.
You gotta eat the oats to sow the oats.
- How many oats am I, Dad?
- You're one out of three.
- Yeah.
- Okay, that ain't bad.
(crew giggles)
Oh gosh.
- Okay.
- I don't understand how.
- I'm gonna move this walnut a little bit lower.
- Yeah, I'm gonna put half.
- How did the walnut get so soft?
- And black?
- I don't know.
Good God.
It's horrible.
- The fruit.
(Link chokes)
- Oh gosh.
- The fruit, the fruitiness and the fishiness-
- Is horrible.
I don't understand.
I just, I don't, I can't, I can't place this.
I can't figure out what was appealing about it at any point,
in any point of history.
- Dad, please make this better by
giving us another '70s fun fact.
- Well, it's said in the 1970s,
free love actually cost 1.50.
What a rip off.
(crew laughs)
- I'm just, really?
Well, a dollar 50 cents?
- Yeah, a dollar 50 cents.
- Was that for a condom?
- Condoms didn't cost a dollar and 50 cents in 1970.
I'll tell you that right now.
They went for about a quarter.
- Okay.
Don't carry 'em in your wallet.
That's what my manager at IBM told me
when I dropped it in the hallway one day.
- Yeah, it leaves a little circle in there, don't it?
So everybody knows you got one.
- Yeah, and I think it makes it deteriorate.
- Well, I've enjoyed this talk on-
(crew laughs)
Birth control.
In the meantime.
- Yeah, I'm teaching my dad about how to use a condom.
- I've learned something.
- You're not into this?
- [Rhett] Tuna and pear pizza.
- [Rhett and Link] That ain't right!
- Is there anything you wanna promote, Dad?
Go for it.
- Oh yeah.
It's good seeing you guys and I'd like
for everybody to watch "Dispatches from Myrtle Beach."
And if you got some things to send me, some emails,
send it to ratherbeshagging53@aol.com.
So y'all just send it.
Y'all watch it every two weeks on YouTube.
- That's right.
My dad has his own show.
He lets me be on it.
- I've watched it a couple times.
- "Dispatches from Myrtle Beach."
Check it out.
- I quite enjoy it.
- Check it out.
All right, Astrid.
- Hey, all right.
- What you got?
- Well, this is Betty Crocker's creamy dried beef mold
from a 1975 cookbook.
Funny enough, creamy dried beef mold is a nickname
that Charles gave me in 1971,
and I think about it more now
and it doesn't sound like a good thing.
Was it? Was it?
Okay.
- [Charles] No.
- Your silence says everything, all right?
- Hold on.
I'm putting something together.
I think that she might be your mom.
(crew laughs)
I mean, the math works out.
- Or the Bee Gees are your dad.
(Rhett laughs)
- Ooh!
All right, you wanna know what's in that?
- All three of 'em.
Wow.
- Tell us what's in this.
- It's gelatin, mayo, mustard, skim milk,
dried beef, onion, celery leaves,
and some other gross stuff.
You know what it is, it's gross.
Bye Charles!
- I think this one, okay.
I think this one might,
I think this one might work.
And also, you know that dried beef,
you know the thin dried beef
that would would come into packages even when we were kids?
My mom would get it.
So this is, this is, it's that super, super thin.
I'm gonna get you a big slice now.
- Dad, what is the deal with all of this like,
jellied stuff in the '70s?
I don't understand.
- Y'all are eating stuff that I don't remember
from the '70s, so you're on your own.
I'm telling you.
- What? This is not a daily staple for you?
- Oh my gosh.
I think this is gonna work.
- [Charles] No.
- It's not, how do I, I'm supposed to think of this as what?
- Don't think of it.
- Like a-
- [Rhett] Don't think of it as anything.
- [Link] Some sort of a cold.
- Get a a healthy bite, now.
- Appetizer?
Dink it-
- And sink it.
- All right, fine.
I'll get a little bit more.
- I think you're gonna like this.
Think of it like a dip.
- Mm-hmm.
- Like an onion dip that you would dip chips into,
but there happens to be beef in it
and you're eating it with a fork straight up
and there's no chips around.
- [Link] It's very mayo forward.
- And your mom is pregnant with one oat.
(Charles laughs)
(crew laughs)
- Dad, give us one final fun fact
from the '70s as we process this.
- In the 1970s,
you weren't cool if you didn't have a Bee Gees song
on your ringtone.
- Wow.
That's a, that's a throwback right there.
You gotta get that ringtone.
- Didn't know.
I didn't know. I didn't know.
That's a fun fact.
- I'm enjoying this.
I really am.
- I don't hate it.
Even though, what is that, a lima bean?
- There's beans in there.
Can I take this home?
Can somebody pack this up for me?
- I don't love it, but I don't hate it.
- Put some Saran Wrap over it.
- And it's got a great name.
Creamy dried beef mold.
- [Rhett and Link] Out of sight!
- Yeah.
- All right!
- I mean, at least it's not moldy.
- So we were two for four.
Ham and bananas hollandaise and creamy dry beef mold.
Both out of sight.
You know, hopefully our parents still have us
so our future selves can bring these back
officially in the future when we make a show called
"Good Mythical Morning,"
and we're doing like the 12th year in 2023.
- Yeah.
Dad, don't forget to sow my wild oat.
- Oh, I ain't gonna forget.
- Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
And don't forget to come back for the first episode
of "Good Mythical Weekend" tomorrow.
That's a Saturday.
- Charles, why don't you say you know what time it is?
- Do you know what time it is?
(static fizzes)
- Hi, my name is Jordan from Providence, Rhode Island.
I'm Rhett and Link's illegitimate love child.
And it's time to spin the wheel of mythicality.
(cans rattle)
- Nah, man.
Your oat is legitimate.
