- Are you ready for some housekeeping confessions?
- Let's talk about that.
(groovy electronic music)
Good Mythical Morning.
- Wanna hear a scary story?
Shh, we wrote one.
It comes out this fall.
Be the first to read it by pre-ordering
The Lose Causes of Bleak Creek now at BleakCreek.com.
- Yes, germs are like a mother's love.
You can't see it but you know it's there.
- Oh.
- And just like a mother's love you can't get away
from it even if you try! - Oh, even if you travel
to a far away hotel? - Mm, yeah.
- Hotel.
'Cause I got news for ya, hotel rooms are dirtier
than you think but don't take our word for it
'cause today we're all gonna hear some confessions
from housekeeping staff at various hotels.
It's time for
♪ Maids from the hotel gonna warn ya ♪
♪ Such a filthy place ♪
- We are gonna be competing against each other
and at the top of each round we're gonna hear
an actual confession from an actual hotel housekeeper.
- Ooh. - And that actual confession
may not may not be delivered dramatically
by a Mythical team member.
- Shh, some of the key words are gonna be missing
from that confession, however,
and we have to write down those words on our white boards.
Points will increase each round.
- And the loser will be joining a local cleaning company
for a day which will be documented on Instagram.
- Hmm. - Let's take a look
at the first confession.
This one is from an anonymous maid who wrote
this confession on the Whisper app.
- [Ellie I work at a hotel and I strongly recommend
to always bring your own blank.
We never wash the blank.
- Oh.
(Link mutters)
Never was the blank. - Are both blanks the same?
- No, no clarifying questions but I think so.
(chuckles)
- Okay but I'm still gonna write it twice.
- Of course. - What do they never wash
at the hotel?
This, I didn't wanna do this episode
'cause I wanna still be able to go to hotels.
- That's okay, you just bring your own (gasps).
(Link gasps)
- Okay, all right, I thought a lot about this thing.
- I don't know if you can wash this thing.
- Already. - But this is what I'm writing
so I have my answer.
- And I have mine.
You go first.
- I was gonna say always bring your own pillow.
We never wash the pillow.
- Oh really, but they wash the pillow case, man.
- But the pillow, you know about pillows
and how much crap they harbor.
- Oh, that could be right but I said coffee pot.
We never wash the coffee pot.
'Cause what do they got, dish detergent in there?
There's just a sink in the bathroom I guess they could use.
- Okay. - I was gonna say
there's no sink either.
Not in the hotel rooms I go to.
- What is the real answer?
- The correct answer is-- - It's Ellie.
- Oh, what's up? (crew laughs)
It's pillow.
They never wash the pillows which
and I'll say that I didn't know you could wash pillows.
- What? - Yeah I didn't know
you could wash pillows either but--
- The pillow case, that's like the flimsy cotton that--
- You can replace pillows. - Yeah.
- The fact is is that the slobber and the head liquids
of all the people who've stayed at a hotel before you
go into the pillow and then you just absorb it
back into your head and then your head liquids
go into another pillow.
- And the pillows suck anyway so that's the second reason
I'm bringing my own pillow from now on.
- Okay what's the next one?
- Okay next up, this one's from Jacob Tomsky,
a former hotel housekeeper who wrote a tell-all book
about the secrets of the hotel business.
- [Matt] So some housekeepers will wash the glasses
in the sink with hot water and blank.
But many of them use blank
because it leaves the glasses spot-free.
- So sounds like the first part is like,
this is what you would expect.
- Hot water-- - But no, hmm.
- Hmm. - Right?
Hmm, I don't really have a better guess than this.
Seems horrible though.
I'll go first this time.
- Okay go ahead.
- They wash them with hot water and soap
but many of them use spit
because it leaves the glasses spot-free.
- You think spit leaves glasses spot-free?
- I mean yeah.
- I also said soap but I also said Windex.
'Cause Windex leaves windows spot-free
and they have window cleaner.
- That's a better answer than spit.
- Let's find out.
- Hey. - Oh it's Matt.
- Hi I'm new.
So some housekeepers will wash the glasses
in the sink with hot water and shampoo,
but many of them use furniture polish
because it leaves the glasses spot-free.
- Okay now Matt, you got a decision to make.
First of all, you need to just say
what you think about this 'cause this sounds horrible.
- Well first of all, I do think that spit
would also leave the glasses spot-free.
- Then I don't wanna hear what you think.
- It's called a spit shine, people do it all the time.
You can wash your windows-- - Spit is way closer
to polish than Windex-- - Spit shine.
- That's all I gotta say. - Okay.
- At the same time, Windex is also a cleaning fluid
that you would use usually not for drinking out of
and for windows instead so I gotta give it to Link.
- Oh, come on! - I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- And I'm gonna be spit shinin' your shoes later. (chuckles)
- That's how this works.
- Yeah I bribed him.
All right what's the next one?
- Okay.
Next up we have a maid-- - Shampoo, first of all,
washing your cups with shampoo is also crazy.
- Not really that gross. - Weird.
- We have a maid from a five-star hotel in Orlando.
- [Emily] A colleague was so angry about a rude comment made
to them that they cleaned the blank with a blank
and left it on the blank for the guest to use.
- So they were mad at the guest that was staying
in a particular room, yes.
- Man this is some twisted stuff.
Now don't go general, you gotta be specific, man,
you gotta go for the gusto.
- Why are you saying that to me,
like I'm not going specific?
This is very specific.
- Okay, I'm ready. - Go ahead.
- I said they cleaned the toilet with a wash cloth
and left it on the rack for the guest to use.
- Oh that's a really good answer.
I misunderstood the question. (chuckles)
(crew laughs)
- What?
- Because I thought the thing that they cleaned
was the thing they left out 'cause I said--
- Maybe it is. - Cup with a toilet brush
and left it on the counter.
- Oh. - But I think you're closer
to the answer. - Toilet brush.
What's the answer?
- A colleague was so angry about a rude comment made
to them that they cleaned the bathroom floor
with a towel and left it on the rack for the guest to use.
- Oh well that's fine compared to what we were thinking.
- [Emily] Yeah.
- Well but you were pretty much--
- Pretty tame. - You're basically
in the right area, I mean you just said toilet
instead of bathroom but obviously that is a better answer
than cup, toilet brush, and counter.
- Yeah. - Wouldn't you agree, Emily?
- Yeah it's a nice rack there, Link.
- Yeah. - You nailed it.
- Spelled correctly and everything.
- [Emily] That was the correct word, I gotta give it to Link
because he got an exact correct word at least
out of three right. - Spelled it correctly,
that's it. (Rhett sighs)
- Okay what's the next one?
- Oh I got it over here, okay.
According to my card, next up is Reddit user Roslagyn.
We're just giving away the name of the person.
Okay Roslagyn on Reddit, y'all.
- [Christine] Use a towel or sheet on the chairs or sofa.
A lot of people blank.
It's nasty but there is often a blank on the desk chair
that no one thinks about.
(Rhett chuckles)
- Use a towel or sheet on the chairs or sofa
'cause a lot of people blank.
That just one blank right there?
- [Christine] The first blank is a few words.
- Oh.
What are, you're erasing, huh?
- Well 'cause I had one word.
- All right since I got this one right,
I think you should go first.
- I will originally say that--
- You will originally say.
- I will say that I was originally thinking
that the answer to the first blank was leak.
But then I was told that it was--
- A lot of people leak. - But I was (chuckles),
I was told-- - Ugh.
- That it was a phrase.
So I said a lot of people make sweet, sweet love on it.
- Mm-hmm. - And it's nasty
but there is often a cushion on the desk chair
that no one think about.
- Oh so they're just suggesting another place
to make sweet, sweet love?
- No. - Because there's a cushion
on the chair?
- I don't really understand.
I'm saying yes-- - Don't be ashamed.
Just leave it out there.
- There's a cushion on the desk chair
that no one thinks about.
- All right mine, mine was similar.
I just think a lot of people lounge around naked.
It's nasty but there is often a butt cheek imprint
or just butt imprint on the desk chair
that no one think about.
- So use a towel or sheet on the chairs or sofa.
A lot of people sit on them naked.
- Well you gotta be-- - It's nasty--
- Naked to make love. (Christine chuckles)
- No you don't. (Rhett laughs)
- It's nasty but there is often a brown streak
on the desk chair that no one thinks about.
- Ew, brown streak!
So I got half that right.
- You got half of that right because--
- Well it doesn't matter 'cause you got it.
- Butt cheek is pretty close to brown streak too though.
- You're more right than me so you get all the points.
- Brown streak that no one-- - Wow I'm getting crushed.
- Oh man now I gotta start lookin' for brown streaks
when I'm lounging around naked.
- Okay here we go.
- Oh gosh.
- Okay here's the next one.
It's a hotel maid who left an anonymous tip on Whisper.
- [Will] I'm a hotel maid.
(Rhett chuckles)
I sometimes blank in the blank by the sink,
dry them, and leave them there.
(chuckles wickedly)
(giggling)
- Wild card.
He's a wild card.
- Okay, all right, okay.
Mm-hmm ha ha ha, I think I might have it.
- Grammatically I can't make sense of this.
- Well I sometimes blank in the blank by the sink.
Dry them, leave them there, what's that?
Mm, what's not grammatical-- - Dry them.
- About blank in the blank? - But they're something
that can be dry, so, in the towels.
- Something that can be dried, hmm.
- So it has to be a towel.
A blank in the towel, oh gosh.
- Just go with your gut, man.
Just go with your gut, you're so far in the lead.
You can't really lose.
- All right you go first if you think it's right.
- I think that hotel maid, again,
I'm comin' back with my spit answer.
They spit in the cups by the sink, dry them,
and leave them there.
- Oh, a spit shine. - Yeah.
I want somebody to spit in a cup
basically is what I'm saying.
- I put I'm a hotel maid, I sometimes you know what
in the towel by the sink, dry them, and leave them there.
- I don't know what, what?
- In the towels, I put towels.
- Hold on what do they do-- - You know what
they do in the towels.
(crew laughing)
- What's the real answer?
- I'm a hotel maid.
I sometimes piss in the glasses by the sink,
dry them and leave them there.
- What? - Okay.
Well I got a bodily fluid and the cups so--
- You gonna give it to him?
- Spit, piss, what's the difference?
(Rhett laughs)
Gotta give it to Rhett. - Exactly, woo!
- Oh I'm actually glad that you got that one right.
- Oh actually it's any man's game at this point
'cause I got that one right.
What's the last one?
- Can't use the cups.
Don't use the cups, don't use the pillows.
Don't even go to a hotel.
- Why you gotta pee in the cups?
- All right, the last confession is
from another anonymous source on Whisper.
- [Jordan] About a year ago I was working at a hotel.
I was cleaning a lady's room and I stole a blank she owned.
To this day I still have it and wear it.
- Yeah that wasn't weird at all.
Cleaning a lady's room and stole a blank.
- Wow I mean ladies can wear lots of things.
- They put this one last.
- Which makes me think that the answer
that I immediately have is not sensational enough.
- It's not gonna be like a hat.
- Right, yeah.
- Or is it?
- I don't know, are they throwing us off?
I should be more creative than this but I'm not.
- Since you're not creative, what is your answer?
- I just said necklace, man.
- Oh you just copped out with necklace, man.
I think he stole a brassiere--
- Oh gosh. - He wears it to this day.
- That's it, man.
That's it, Link.
- About a year, I'm digitally altering my voice
so this person remains anonymous.
- You gotta keep doing it.
- About a year ago I was working at a hotel.
I was cleaning a lady's room
and I stole a G-string she owned.
(Rhett laughs)
To this day I still have it and wear it.
- Well a G-string.
- All right what do you think Jordan?
- You get to decide. - It is underwear.
- Yeah I mean I think Link gets the closest
'cause his is undies-- - Well but you can make
a necklace into a G-string, trust me.
(Jordan laughs)
- All right, I dare you.
(laughing)
Do it and you get the point.
Someone throw Rhett a necklace
and if he puts it up his butt, he gets the points.
- I'm fine with that, actually.
- [Jordan] Do it! (laughs)
- Fine with that.
I guess I don't have to be on Instagram along with you,
cleaning some sort of, I don't know,
you're going on
a cleaning mission. - I'm joining a
local cleaning crew.
It's gonna be documented on our Instagram.
- That's right, I won but I'm traumatized.
But I think knowledge is power.
I'm just never going anywhere ever again.
- Good, thanks for liking, commenting and subscribing.
- You know what time it is.
- I'm Chris from Waite Park, Minnesota.
And I'm in the basement of the haunted Palmer House Hotel
in Sauk Center and it's time
to spin the Wheel of Mythicality.

Video did though. - Click the top link

or five-star hotel in Good Mythical More.
