- Today's episode is your worst nightmare.
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
"Good Mythical Morning."
- We all sleep.
And that means we all also dream.
Yeah, even if you're one of those people that's like,
"I don't dream."
Well, you do dream.
You just don't remember it.
And why is that something that you're bragging about anyway?
Okay, most dreams we have, we forget when we wake up,
but nightmares, they have a funny way of sticking with us.
What's the worst nightmare that you've ever had?
You.
What's the worst nightmare that you've ever had?
- I love how the jacket makes you move
as if you're an animatronic.
- Yeah.
- Worst nightmare I've ever had?
- What's the worst nightmare that you've ever had?
- Driving off of a half-built bridge.
- Ooh. When was that?
- Many times.
- Ooh, it's a recurring nightmare.
- Yeah, and it's a really tall bridge and I'm going "Whoa!"
off of it before I realize that, oh, it's half-constructed.
- Well, I mean,
hopefully you won't be facing any half-built bridges
on the Mythical green today.
Hey, let's swing some putters
and get me out of this dadgum jacket.
It's time for Pick N Putt: Nightmare Edition.
- Welcome to the putting zone that's soon to be from hell.
- And welcome the devilishly deviled caddy Chase
to help take away this horribly scratchy
but still very lovely winner's jacket.
I hope to see you again soon.
- Uh-huh. - Okay.
Today we're ditching the big box store trivia,
but keeping the crazy putt-putt holes
and diving into the world of nightmares.
(Link screaming)
- Stevie's gonna ask us a question about nightmares.
Each question will have three possible answers,
and then we're gonna try to hit our balls
into the right answer hole.
- Like golf, each putt counts as a stroke.
And if our ball goes into hole with the wrong answer,
that's two penalty strokes.
Whoever has the lowest score at the end of the game
gets to wear and keep that coveted winner's jacket.
Maybe only one of us is coveting it.
I mean, last time I begged the mini golf gods to let me win.
I lost horribly.
So clearly they don't exist
and I'm gonna have to do this on my own.
I no longer believe in you!
- Let the nightmares begin.
(Link shouting)
- No! It's Freddy Krueger!
Freddy Krueger's hand is coming towards me!
- Yeah, one, two,
I'm coming for your golf balls.
- Oh, coming from the golf balls.
- Look, I mean, this is an impressive
cardboard creation here.
- It's not cardboard. It's real.
- It's all supernatural-powered.
Okay. What's our question, Stevie?
- [Stevie] A study by Amerisleep surveyed 2000 people
about their anxiety-fueled nightmares and discovered
that most people have more shared nightmares
than you might think.
Based on their research, what is the number one
most common nightmare people have?
Is it feeling lost, losing your teeth, or falling?
- Hmm. - Okay.
- Feeling lost, losing your teeth, or falling.
I've definitely lost my teeth in a dream.
- I've had the teeth-losing dream
dozens of times in my life.
I don't remember a, maybe a couple of falling dreams,
and yeah, maybe some lost dreams, but I mean,
I'm going with losing teeth
because I relate so much to that one.
Of course, I've gotta deal with.
- Oh, look at that.
He's really, really trying to get at you.
- The thing you gotta do is you gotta just
act like he's not there.
No!
- That was close, man.
- Man, it went right over the hole.
- It's an easy two putt for Rhett
going into the teeth answer.
- Okay.
- I gotta agree.
I think it's losing teeth.
You said the most common?
- Yep. - 2000 people.
Amerisleep, my favorite sleep study organization.
- You know what?
Just because we both did it doesn't mean it's most common.
I'm actually gonna change my answer to falling.
- Okay. - Because I've
fallen a lot too. - Yep, right, right.
Right, right, right, right.
You gotta watch that hand.
You see that hand in front of you?
- I'm not afraid of you, Freddy.
You don't exist.
- [Both] Whoa!
- Falling.
Yeah, I tried the old bank shot.
- Hey, I like this, Chase.
- All right, guys.
I'm just gonna putt for falling.
Okay, Stevie.
- [Stevie] While we may never truly know
why so many of us have had this particular nightmare,
thanks to this study, we do know that
a whopping 64.7% of people have all had
the number one most common nightmare of falling.
- Yes!
- Really? Okay, all right.
- Whoa!
The nightmares continue.
- Oh, we've got a man and two women
and what looks to be a bed of nails?
I think I saw this in like a tourism ad for Las Vegas.
- Their mouths are disturbingly agape. Stevie?
- And round.
- [Stevie] In 2007, psychologists in Montreal
had male and female volunteers log their dreams,
accumulating 3,500 dreams in total.
Among their research findings,
the study discovered that women were twice as likely
as men to dream about what?
Having sex with a celebrity.
- [Link] Wow.
- [Stevie] Being attacked by an animal.
- Okay. - Ooh.
- [Stevie] Or natural disasters.
- All right, Link, you're up first, so.
You're in the lead.
- Now, these were all Canadian dreams.
- And specifically Montreal.
- So we got a French Canadian.
Hon hon hon!
We've got to have celebrity sex.
Les menage a trois.
That's not a nightmare. That doesn't fit the category.
- Well, this is just dreams, man.
- But attacked by an animal.
Lots of animals up there, and the pelt economics up there.
- The beavers up there are outta control.
- Right. (crew laughing)
So I just feel like.
- Beavers do attack.
- They're thinking about moose,
they're thinking about beaver,
they're thinking about getting those pelts.
- Those moose dreams.
- I'm thinking it's being attacked.
- Okay. You got a long way between here and there, friend.
You got a Plinko board to get through.
Oh, oh. - Oh no.
It's really reverberating.
Come back to the middle.
I want that middle!
The middle mouth, middle!
- Oh, you called it! - Yes!
And trickle, trickle, trickle.
- You got a little trickle-down situation there.
- Okay, so we got a long way to go.
I can't move this.
Yes!
Neil in two strokes has sunk it.
Being attacked.
- I'm not a French-Canadian woman.
- Thanks for clearing that up.
- But I have had many dreams
about being attacked by animals.
- Oh, I thought you were gonna say Halle Berry.
- I haven't.
No, I don't know if I've ever had a celebrity sex dream
and I don't think I've ever had a natural disaster dream.
I feel like I gotta make a move though,
because you've taken a two-stroke lead.
Well, I'm gonna putt it down there and see what happens.
I'm going towards the middle,
but we'll see what fate has to say about that.
- Oh, see, you gave it more force, learning from my mistake,
but it slowed down a lot.
Looks like you're gonna go in the same hole as me.
Same spot.
- Hey, you know what?
I've been there, man. I know how it feels.
- Fate is giving you nothing
that a little celebrity sex won't fix.
- I feel like celebrity sex is not it.
Listen, I'm gonna go from personal experience
and those French Canadian beavers.
- He's trying to tie me up.
All right. - Okay.
- I'm fine with this 'cause I'm still in the lead.
- [Stevie] While men are more likely
to dream about technology malfunctions,
this study found that women are twice as likely
to dream about having sex with a celebrity.
- Dang, really?
- That was your chance, man. - Man!
Hey, y'all, we just dropped a brand new series
on the Mythical Society.
Fitting that we're talking about it today
because it's called "Let's Dream About That"
where we guide you into a meditative, surreal dream state,
and you can bet that we're all gonna have
some weird dreams together.
Come, come sleep with us.
- Yeah, it's like guided meditation
for collective dreaming with other Mythical Beasts.
Now, this is available for Third Degree
and Second Degree Society members.
But because we are so excited about this new series,
we're gonna make this first episode also available
to First Degree Society members until nine a.m. tomorrow.
So tonight only, if you're a First Degree member,
if you wanna join us First Degree,
then you can get a load of that.
I mean, it's almost a half hour, the first episode.
So there's a lot in there
and there's more of those to follow.
So get a little taste of that sweet, sweet dream world.
Then come back for more.
Mythicalsociety.com.
- Okay. What do we have here?
- Oh, the board.
Oh, it's a spooky train.
- Oh wow. Look at that.
Demon boy starting up those sheep trains.
- [Link] There they go.
- There you go.
Okay, so. - I'm scared.
- This is just counting sheep.
- Uh-oh. - Oh no!
- [Rhett] There we go.
It just needed a little encouragement.
- I think the gap's too much.
You need to, you need to make two gaps.
- You know what?
Let him figure that out while we get a question.
- [Stevie] It turns out that there is
a scientific correlation between the foods we eat
and how likely we are to have nightmares.
But which of these three foods has not been found
to increase the likelihood of nightmares?
- [Link] Okay.
- [Stevie] Cake, popcorn, or hot sauce?
- [Rhett] Of course we have to taste it
in order to be informed.
- Oh yeah, I remember what chocolate cake tastes like.
And I remember what popcorn tastes like.
- I'm gonna dip my popcorn in the hot sauce.
- And I already remember what hot sauce tastes like.
- All right, Link, you're up.
You're still in the lead.
Ooh. That's some hot, hot hot sauce!
Yeah, I was afraid of that. I smelt it.
- Give a warning next time.
- I mean, there's no way the popcorn causes dreams.
Hot sauce makes sense.
And then cake, it's like, very decadent.
You got some caffeine in there.
You got some dairy in there.
- Some dairy in there?
- I gotta stick with popcorn.
And you know, I have the express checkout.
I could go for a hole in one.
- Oh, then use it, man.
You've never had the privilege
of wearing the green jacket.
- I'm feeling good right now.
I wanna win without the aid of that if I can help it.
I'm in the lead.
I'm not gonna use it.
Wow. The Linkster is confident.
- [Both] Oh!
- [Link] It was so close to popcorn!
- That was impressive.
And you used the train as a backstop?
Nice. - Yeah, I did.
All right, here we go.
Sorry, Chase. - I got it.
- Well, man. - Stop it. Stop it.
- [Link] What, what, what's happening?
- [Chase] I'm still, one second.
- Sheep getting away from him.
- I'm just gonna let them figure that out.
I'm gonna think out loud while they're fixing the trains.
The only thing that I definitively know about food
and dreams is that dairy has been known to induce dreams.
So I don't think cake is a great answer.
Hot sauce might give you some indigestion.
Popcorn, what's it gonna do?
It's not gonna do anything.
I don't feel right about just giving the same answer though.
And you got it in two, which was very impressive.
- You could get a hole in one.
- Okay, I'm going for popcorn,
'cause it's the only thing that makes sense to me.
- There we go.
Oh no! - Oh yeah, I love it!
You've been sheeped!
Oh, and now you're racing to get in there, huh?
Oh, oh!
(Rhett groaning)
Yes!
- Okay, you know what?
You know what I'm gonna do?
- Oh, you're changing your answer
now that you're on the precipice of popcorn?
- I might be completely throwing the game at this point.
'Cause popcorn seems so obvious,
but I'm gonna fall even further behind either way.
Okay, I gotta take a chance. Hot sauce.
- He has changed his answer to hot sauce.
- [Stevie] Dreams can be nightmarishly altered
after consuming foods that affect body temp
or are high in sugar, like hot sauce and cake respectively.
However, complex carbs like popcorn actually boost serotonin
which can help regulate your sleep cycle
in a positive, non-nightmarish way.
- So popcorn is the right answer.
- Screwed the pooch on that one.
- Yes.
- And now the final nightmare.
- Oh, we have got some mouse trap devices down here
that are sleepy landmines.
I'm told that if your golf ball wakes up any of these guys,
he'll catapult your ball forwards.
- Excited to see that. What's our question?
- [Stevie] In an interview with "Vanity Fair",
actor, comedian, screenwriter, and all-around tall guy
Jason Segel admitted to having a spooky recurring nightmare
between the ages of 8 and 13.
Was it being trapped inside Dracula's castle,
being eaten by killer tomatoes,
or being chased by Beetlejuice?
- Okay. - Jason Segel.
Shoutout to Jason Segel, famous dreamer.
- Especially in that 8 to 13 age range.
He was a very, very intense dreamer.
- See, I think killer tomatoes is a thing.
Dracula is a bit tropish. Beetlejuice?
- "Beetlejuice" is a movie.
- Yeah.
- That would probably have been out around the time
that Segel was 8 to 13.
- Ooh, that's true. - It stars Michael Keaton.
- Man, I'm ahead, but I really gotta think about this.
I'm torn between Beetlejuice because of the age range
and killer tomatoes is just drawing me in.
I'm gonna wait to give my answer
and see where fate sends me.
- Yeah, I mean, just between you and me,
you would have to royally screw this up to lose,
just so you know.
Like, it would be the biggest implosion in golf history.
- And I could bypass this with express checkout
but I ain't going out like a chomp,
I'm going out like a champ and I'm not going out at all.
I'm gonna get that green jacket.
- You could also give me the express checkout.
I mean, I'm so, it's so pitiful how far I am behind.
- No, I'm definitely not doing that.
All right, I'm gonna go in this area and then see
if it'll catapult me forward because I'm going with fate.
I just think this will be fun.
- It'll be fun, yeah.
- Oh, missed it.
(both shouting)
That was a nice gentle floppage, but we got two up there.
Okay, given my placement, fate is not speaking to me,
but I just feel like it's killer tomatoes.
- Okay.
- I mean I hate tomatoes.
I love me some Segel.
Oh, just barely!
- All right.
- I want that green jacket.
- Okay.
- They're thinking that killer tomatoes is wrong,
but they're hoping it's right 'cause they're pulling for me.
- Here's, well, first of all, you can't lose at this point.
I was trying to throw you off a little bit.
The answer is killer tomatoes.
- You think so?
- "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" is the movie.
I saw it as a child. - Ah!
- And I believe it was early '80s
and "Beetlejuice" was late '80s.
So he would've been too old
to be dreaming about Beetlejuice.
It's gotta be killer tomatoes.
So I have to make a proposal for you.
What would you do for me if I were to get a hole in one
into killer tomatoes and it were to be the right answer?
- I'd give you an extra point.
- I mean, a hole in one in a final round?
I mean, maybe that would be worthy of me
keeping the green jacket, you know?
- If you bank it as a hole in one.
- Bank it?
- Bank it off the back wall.
- Okay, if I bank it off the back wall into killer tomatoes.
- And killer tomatoes is correct.
- And killer tomatoes is correct, what happens?
I get to keep the jacket?
- You get to keep the jacket.
- Oh gosh. Okay.
(Rhett groaning)
- A valiant effort.
You woke up one sleeper.
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
- [Rhett] Okay.
- Wake 'em all up.
Some of 'em are heavy sleepers.
- [Stevie] Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice
is not the right answer.
Jason Segel's recurring childhood nightmare
actually may explain why his character
in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"
created a "Dracula" puppet musical.
Yes, little Jason being trapped inside Dracula's castle.
(both groaning)
- That was your chance.
- Interesting for no reason.
All right, Link, try it on. See what you think, man.
See how it fits.
- Oh, oh gosh.
- Yeah. See what I'm talking about?
You're gonna regret this, I'm telling you.
- This is like a oh, oh!
It's like a dream come true.
(Rhett laughing)
That became a nightmare.
- All right.
Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
- You know what time it is!
- Hi, I'm Shannon.
- And I'm James.
- And we're from Gainesville, Florida, and we came here.
- To the Herlong Mansion in historic Micanopy.
- And we came here to find out what spirits are saying.
- Let's find out.
- It's. - Time.
- To. - Spin.
- The. - Wheel.
- Of. - [Both] Mythicality!
- Hold on, we got demons telling us
to spin the Wheel of Mythicality?
I don't know about that, Gainesville.
- That is a bit much.
- Click the top link to see if we can match the crew members
to their awful recurring nightmares in "Good Mythical More".
- And to find out where the
Wheel of Mythicality's gonna land.
It's time to embark on a collective dream journey with us.
- [Rhett] Begin by lying down
in a comfortable position of slumber.
Close your eyes and take three deep breaths.
