- But where?
Today's episode is quite unethical.
- Let's talk about that.
(quirky music)
Good mythical morning.
- Now everybody knows that when you need advice
on how to live your life, make wise decisions,
the best place to turn is.
- Your mom.
- My mom?
She is a wise woman.
That's not what I was thinking.
I was thinking Reddit and I thought you would say Reddit
because you're a Reddit man.
- I am a Reddit man.
Every night before I go to bed, usually,
I'll peruse a little Reddit.
- You're a Beddit man.
- I'm a Beddit man, but I'm really
just looking for my mom on there.
- Well, I think I have your mom's number
and I'm, I'm not making that up, so I'll share it with you.
- You're in contact?
- I mean, occasionally if I need to be.
Okay, there is a subreddit called Unethical Life Pro Tips,
which is full of people giving tips
on how to accomplish something using highly unethical
yet often very hilarious tactics.
So we're going to explore that subreddit to find out
who's got the most unethical brain.
It's time for, Do These Good Boys Know How To Be Wicked?
Maybe after this game, we'll steal your lunch
and then lick it!
Okay, so we're going to channel our inner unethicality.
- It's easy for me to do that.
So Stevie is going to read us basically what is trying
to be accomplished in the subreddit, and then we're going
to guess what the actual unethical strategy
to accomplish that said thing is.
Yeah, points are going to escalate each round.
In the end, the loser will get an unethical surprise.
Don't know what that is.
Stevie, cue up the first unethical life tip.
- [Stevie] Okay, boys.
What is the unethical pro tip to get out of responsibility
for accidentally hitting a parked car?
- Okay.
- So you were caught hitting the car?
- [Stevie] No, you want to get out of responsibility.
- You've hit the car, but you haven't fled the scene.
- But you're trying to not be responsible for it.
- Just write enough to explain it, I guess.
Okay.
See, I want to be good at this cause I want to win,
but I want to be a good person,
so that means being bad at it.
- Well, let's see what you're saying.
- I said earlier note. meaning when no one's looking,
you have this note ready in your car
and it's a note of apology from somebody else, not you,
talking about how badly you hit the car
and you slide it under the windshield.
It's like, dear sir, I hit your car.
I had to leave, but here's my number.
I hit it really bad.
So if anybody comes after me and also hits the car
a little bit and probably doesn't do any damage,
it was really me that did the most damage before I split.
So call me.
- That's confusing to me.
(laughing)
I went with something that is unethical
and could end up getting you caught,
but if you're a good actor, you can do it.
You just yell, somebody hit this car.
There he goes, and you, you point at somebody else leaving,
and so sort of the whole like,
he who smelt it, dealt it kind of situation.
- Okay, mine's clearly better than yours, but.
- [Stevie] According to Reddit user abeannis,
the answer is, save business cards of people you don't like.
If you ever hit a parked car accidentally,
just write sorry on the back and leave it on the windshield.
- Okay well, Link definitely wins this one.
That isn't what you said.
- [Stevie] I'm confused by Link's as well,
and I, and I did feel Rhett's answer was, was valid,
but yes, please explain what you mean.
You mean like going back in time?
- No.
- I hit your car, but somebody had already hit it
in the exact same spot before me.
- Yeah.
- [Stevie] Okay, got it now.
- Which is a ridiculous thing to say,
but it is way closer to the real answer.
- [Stevie] Okay, Rhett, you're right.
We'll give Link the point, so.
- Hold on.
When you hit somebody with your car, your car is damaged.
- [Stevie] How about another one, shall we?
What is the unethical pro tip to getting away
with hitting your boss in the back of the head
as hard as you can?
- Oh.
- Oh, this is easy.
- I've actually thought about this before.
- I've actually seen this one done.
- You go first.
- You act like you got hit too.
(laughing)
It's just like, you hit them on the back of the head
and as soon as they turn around.
- So like.
- Ow, what the, was that a bird?
Was that two birds?
- Must've been a flock of birds.
- Man, did it, how, did it hurt?
Was it real hard, 'cause it was real hard on my head.
- It's just like, there are no birds.
We're in an office.
- Yeah, that's actually a thing they do on YouTube.
I see this prank quite a bit.
- Mine is the good old pocket wasp.
Always be carrying around a de-stingered wasp,
and then what you do is you just haul off
and you hit your boss in the back of head
as hard as you can, and when he turns around,
he's like what the crap?
You're fired, and before he says fired, you say,
"there was a wasp on you.
"It was about, it was about to get ya, but I killed it."
That's what it is.
- That's really good.
- [Stevie] Link, I don't even.
You are like, almost exactly right in a way
that is so confusing to me.
It's, it's from Reddit user sylocule.
If you glue a dead wasp to your hand,
you can hit your boss on the back of the head
as hard as you'd like and act like you've saved him.
(laughing)
- The pocket wasp, it was a hand wasp.
- I don't think you need to glue it.
You just need to hold it.
- Oh, you're saying you hit him while it's in your hand.
- Hey, that was pretty crazy.
A freaking wasp.
- The fact that they selected wasp instead of bee.
That specific. - [Stevie] I know.
What is the unethical pro tip to find your phone
when it is lost and on mute?
- Well, I know the ethical way.
- Just with the app, the find your phone?
- Yeah, use the find your phone app.
- Okay.
- All right.
- I said, steal another phone.
Now hear me out on this.
I'm not just saying, because you can't find yours,
take someone else's phone.
Someone else who's around the place where
you're pretty sure you lost your phone,
take their phone temporarily.
Let them realize that they lost their phone,
and as they look for it,
they're not going to find their phone
because it's in your pocket.
What they're going to find is your phone.
- That's, man.
Originally I said, hire a sniffer dog,
but then I said, steal a sniffer dog to make it unethical.
- Sniffer dog.
- So you find the sniffer dog that specializes
in sniffing phones, I'm sure it's a thing,
and then you have to steal that dog,
use the dog for your services,
and then you can return the dog after he finds the phone.
- See, or keep the dog, and you know.
- It's more unethical if you keep the dog.
- [Stevie] Okay, this is from Reddit user p00bix, who says,
"Lost your phone, and it's on mute?
"Simply kidnap a child then stay put
"wherever you think you left your phone.
"Eventually they'll send out an AMBER Alert
"and your phone will buzz."
- [Link] An AMBER Alert.
- Ho ho ho ho.
- But it, you know, I just said steal another phone.
That's kind of close.
- I said steal another being.
- [Stevie] I feel like again, I think we have to give it
to Link because it's so, it's so close to,
he should submit this, yes.
- His is really good, but.
- You're commandeering someone else.
- It's not close.
It's better, but it's not closer to the real answer.
- No, it is better because.
- I stole a being.
- It's better 'cause you're, I'm commandeering
someone else's efforts to do something.
- I mean, how well we playing this game, really?
What is the unethical pro tip to get away
with accidentally clogging a toilet at a party?
- Okay.
I mean, I got something that'll take care of it for sure.
Okay, before we reveal our answers, I do want you
to understand and know that you can get this shirt
that I'm wearing that says who the heck are Rhett and Link?,
which by the way is the two of us.
- I think it's an ethical way of finding
other Mythical beasts out in the wild,
because they will come up to you and answer the question,
and you'll be like,
"I already knew the answer."
- Right.
- Let's be friends.
- Mythical.com, mythical dot dot dot com.
There's three dots now.
Again, I think I've got something that is
definitely unethical, but it's based on
the creative distraction, to start a fire.
If you start a fire in that house,
I guarantee you, the last thing
they're going to worry about is who clogged the toilet.
- Okay. I said the old window exit re-entry.
What you want to do is, you wanna.
(laughing)
- You're really good at coming up
with ways to get out of trouble.
Have you been getting yourself out of?
The funny thing is, is you get caught
doing things unintentionally all the time.
You've never employed any of this in real life,
but you've had all this in your brain.
This is a genius idea.
- It lets people think I'm human just like them,
(laughing)
when I, when I simulate shortcomings.
- So basically it's an unethical strategy,
your life strategy.
- So what you do is you re-enter
and then immediately leave like, oh my gosh,
and you go tell on someone else.
- Nope, that's what you don't do, no.
- Someone else.
- I think you would, I think you just come into the party,
'cause the person who talks about it first.
- But you've already been at the party.
- Yeah, but the person who points it out
is obviously the person who did it.
I just think you just come back into the party.
- From another place.
- Yeah, and there's no way that you can,
somebody's gonna be knocking on the door
that's still like closed and you're in the party.
- It's like, weren't you at the party earlier?
It's like, yeah, I went outside.
- Yeah, I took a smoke break.
You know me, I'm smoking now.
(laughing)
- That's not my answer much, but I am going to take
Rhett's answer for me because my answer
was just come back in, open the door and immediately leave
and say somebody clogged the toilet, it wasn't me 'cause.
- [Stevie] Got it, got it.
Well Redditor Sbtex08 advises,
"if you clog the toilet at a party, find the host
"and ask them where the bathroom is.
"Walk to the bathroom and immediately return
"to tell them it is clogged.
"There's no way you clogged it in 15 seconds."
- That's exactly what my answer was
before I changed it to Rhett's.
- I still think it is, your answer is, is closer.
- Oh definitely.
- Yeah, that, that's what I was saying.
- But I'm telling you, right?
- When I went out through a window
because if you come out to the door,
someone else is going to be standing there.
- If you do that they're, everyone for the rest of history
is going to know that you are the one who did it.
If you do this, they're only going to know
you're the one who started a fire.
- [Stevie] Okay, what is the unethical pro tip
for getting your heavily stained dishes,
pots, or baking sheets clean?
- Unethical way of getting stuff off of dirty dishes.
- I actually feel like this is my first good answer.
- Mine sucks, so I'll present mine first.
I don't know, I just think you take them to a car wash,
like they got the power wash wand.
(mimics water spraying)
I don't know how unethical it is,
but that was, that's the best I got.
You like, lay out all your dishes in like,
the car port thing and you just let it have it.
- I just said, get your dog to do it.
You know, put 'em on, put 'em on the ground,
put 'em on the floor.
- Just gnawing at the?
- And just let the dog, the dog will clean the plates
and it might be unethical.
- I don't think that's unethical either.
- No, because dogs are, they don't,
their stomachs don't sit well with that, and also it's like,
(sneezing) free labor, forced labor.
- [Stevie] Bless you, bless you.
The answer from AndThenThereWasLily is,
"have a dish, pot, slash, baking sheet,"
bless you,
"that is clean, but still stained with stubborn marks?
"Prepare a meal for a friend or neighbor in it,
"and there'll be too embarrassed to give it back dirty.
"They'll figure out how to get it sparkling clean."
- I didn't hear any of that 'cause my brain
was shaking inside my skull.
- Prepare a meal.
- [Stevie] Like, give your neighbor a casserole
in the dish that has like, stains on the bottom of it,
and then when they finish the casserole.
- Oh, that is good. - [Stevie] They'll be like,
"Oh, I gotta get these things off."
- That is wrong.
So bake a casserole on top of a casserole remnant.
- Treat your neighbor like a dog.
- [Stevie] Yeah, you're both like very far away, but sure.
Dog is a being and so is your neighbor.
So Rhett gets the point. - Rhett gets the pity vote.
- Ah, thank you, God.
- [Stevie] Okay, it all comes down to this.
- Man, that was, that's a good one.
- Oh, this is worth six points?
- [Stevie] Uh, yeah.
- Oh, so I can still win. (laughs)
Increasing points, for the win.
- [Stevie] What is the unethical pro tip
to get your messy roommate to clean up?
- [Rhett] Okay.
Ready?
- Three, two.
(chuckling)
Go.
- I said put everything in their bed.
- Put everything in their bed.
You can't sleep on everything.
- Like, the only place that you can put things
that someone has to deal with them is in their bed.
If you just put it all in their room, they'll be like,
ooh, I'm going to walk over this.
You put it in their bed, they have to deal with it.
It's, it's aggressive, but it's effective.
- My answer is plant poop smears, not poops, but smears.
- Is that like a pap smear, but a poop?
- Yeah, it's going to be gross, but it's going
to be worth it because it needs to be in pungent,
but really hard to find, and you just put it in weird places
like the underside of his mattress or pillow.
- But you're saying that he'll smell it
and then clean it up?
- Yeah, the smell will be so bad,
he'll have to clean everything up, and then in order to find
what's not there, just assuming that it's all of his crap.
- [Stevie] Okay.
Redditor Aoozzz says,
"if you can't get your roommate to clean up,
"create a fake Tinder profile,
"match with them and tell them you're coming over.
"They'll leave the place absolutely spotless in no time."
- These are so clever.
- I'm coming over.
- I would feel wrong if you gave me these points
because we're both so far off,
but Link had such a good streak.
- I agree.
(laughing)
- [Stevie] Okay, Link wins.
- Thank you.
All right, Rhett, you get an unethical punishment.
- Uh oh.
- What's that going to be?
(smacks)
- Sorry.
There was a wasp on your neck.
I got it.
- Was that a, was that a bird?
- Wait, it seemed like a pat on the back.
(laughing)
- Nick, you know what?
It's hard to judge where you're supposed
to hit the back of that.
- So you had a wasp?
We had wasp residue, not an actual wasp.
- [Nick] Molasses.
- Molasses.
- Yeah, you know, wasp molasses.
That's what's on the inside of every wasp.
