Good Mythical Morning t-shirt there it. is right there there's not a person in. it but it looks kind of FS you can be in. it if you cover the Facebook song using. the scene karaoke details are in the. description yes I had a dream about you. last night. r i yeah I know I was there oh you you. do remember it no all right well tell me. about it well you know know I was uh.
nope not right I walked into this living. room and every it was like a really. clean living room but it looked like it. was out of the 70s yeah I've been. cleaning it and you come in the room and. you were like I have got a surprise for. you guess who is. here comeing right now you can meet him. here he is and a guy comes out. completely bald dude old guy didn't. recognize him but I I felt like I should. know who he was so I was like oh.
I'm so happy to see you I can't believe. it and I think you could tell by the. look on my face that I didn't know who. he was and so you're like it's Conway. twit the legendary country music singer. and I was like oh who is a dead that's. what I that and that's and B not bald no. right and so I was like Oh I thought you. were dead and I was like patting him on. the back in fact Conway Twitty's hair is.
probably his qua is probably still on. his skeleton I mean not to get morbid. but he only died like 10 years ago and. your hair I mean he had a beautiful head. of hair and then I go and I was I was. really excited to see him especially. realizing that he wasn't dead and then I. go into another room and I'm hiding and. he forgets that I'm there Conway does. yeah Conway forgets that I'm there Hello. darling Hello darling nice to see you. it's been a long time listen I'm hiding. in the other room spying on Conway. Twitty he put a wig on and he and he.
starts talking in the way that I knew. him to talk in a raspy voice in a in a. raspy voice like this and that was all I. remember the dream but I was it was a. joyful experience you've never been this. far before that's awkward you singing. that to me is pretty awkward okay so so. that's U my Contrition Conway Twitty for. 10 minutes my dream in real life is to. meet Merl Haggard if you have any. connections uh let us know seriously a. North Sea fisherman has has set a world.
record that's not news that happens. every day uh but today by scooping up a. bottle that has carried a message in the. ocean for almost 98 years trying to get. the ocean water out of my ear did you. say 98 years yeah and I was you know I. was kind of hoping this was like you. know a message in a bottle from his. great-grandmother to his. great-grandfather about how she always. loved him and didn't really cheat on him. or something you know something romantic. yeah but it wasn't that it was a. scientific.
experiment oh really back in. 1914 the Scottish government uh was. doing some research yeah and uh what. they wanted to figure out. was they wanted it to how long it would. take to find a message in a bottle 98. years no they released. 1890 I don't know why they just didn't. do 1900 they probably broke 10 of them. um bottles into the ocean at once.
and these weren't like from like if if. they did this today it would be like. from school kids you know like they. would get a bunch of elementary school. kids yeah yeah over in R you know to. like you send them out to the to the. world well that's not how it works you. wanted to get middle school kids they. get to do too many fun things like. messages and bottles and put yeah this. was just straight up research it was. scientific stuff that went into the. bottle well it was really just a letter. and it was dear soand so whoever find.
this please tell us when and where you. found this because we are tracking the. ocean currents oh man this is this is. pretty anticlimactic but the fact that. it and we're also in middle school that. would have made it better yeah or like. like you're saying if you pull it up and. it's Somey you know it's just a letter. of desperation I'm I'm dying this is I'm. trapped in Atlanta they my last bit of. breath I am writing this letter from. this deserted island if you find this.
rescue me it wasn't that exciting but. interestingly first of all they did not. float and I think this is one of the. reasons that they lasted so long is that. they had engineered these things the the. scientists had engineered them so that. they would float near the bottom of the. seabed because they were testing under. sea kernet well they put kilts on them. that's what the Scottish scientists do. they put kilts on everything they. weighted it down with a with a plaid K I. don't think that's actually true and it. it actually looked very decorative you. know in the whole ceremony when they. sent them off it popery in it well had a.
letter in it you it went to the bottom. of the ocean and I think what ended up. happening is it probably got lodged on. the seabed at some point and this guy is. going around fishing for something with. a net that goes along the bottom of the. ocean bottles and uh he gets a bottle. turn recycling effort there to yeah I. don't think so turns out that his friend. who operates or sometimes Pilots what's. the correct word for Manning a ship. commands commands ship the same exact. ship 5 years ago he set the world record.
by finding another one of these bottles. and then his buddy comes and this guy he. talks about how this guy is all into. holding this record uh but then Andrew. leaper his buddy comes along and finds. the oldest one this is like me and you. this is like you finding the oldest. message in the world in a bottle and. then like 5 years later I'm like I found. an older one man what you going to do. about it I mean it's kind of sucks a. little bit mhm the only way you can make. that up to me would introduce me to a. living Conway. Twitty you know he was bald so so that's. pretty amazing now I I've never launched.
a uh I was going to say a bottle rocket. I have launched a bottle rocket but I've. never launched a message in a bottle. because I've never been in that amount. of desperation or I've never been a. Scotty scientist Message in a Bottle. Rocket there's an idea but what we have. doesn't last very long what we have done. and I know that you know this because. you were there we have we have made a. time capsule which is kind of the same. thing we did you put something in a Bill. Clinton is all of a sudden on the scene. I remember this let us know if you ever.
put a message in a bottle or made a time. capsule because that's what we did if. you've watched our documentary looking. from his Locklear you'll see in as part. of the opening sequence we reenacted. some fond memories from our childhood. one of which was when we buried the Time. Capsule and I don't know what we were. thinking cuz what I remember is what we. portrayed in the movie also is that we. put it in an old toilet paper tube first. of all just right off the bat that's. biodegradable is it that's good it's. paper and you're not supposed to put it.
in paper it was yeah and then we put. duct tape on either end so we put duct. tape on one end of the of the paper. towel well of the toilet towel roll is. that what you call it toilet paper thing. and then what we put inside we put in a. GI Joe man remember that it was to be. more specific it was medic the. African-American doctor yes from from GI. Joe uh we had to put his arms up in. order to get him into the tube and then. we put him in there and we put a pack of.
nabs which if you're not from the south. I know we' mentioned this before but. nabs are those little square cheesec. crackers like cheese and peanut butter. how come they don't do that combination. in anywhere else in in the world cheese. and peanut butter it's only in nabs yeah. cuz you don't think about it that way. and I don't why would you put it in a. time capsule not only are you putting it. in a biodegradable container you putting. a perishable good of course they. probably last year or so yeah lots of. preservatives and do you remember the. third thing that we put in the time.
capsule a letter to aliens yeah you. remember what it said if you find this. good for you just know that please don't. harm us I don't know what it said but I. think the Bigg question is why put a. letter to aliens in a time. capsule I guess the assumption is some. sort of Armageddon situation happens and. then aliens are just alens taking over. everything and like he's like digging. hold. up me dig right.
here crackers maybe we should not. destroy these people too late you know. it's like I because they like GI Joe. figures in nabs and they took the time. to write us a letter we I think we were. thinking we were saving the human race. but the interesting thing about aliens. dig here we didn't put a sign over it we. dug it up the next day that pretty much. defeats the entire purpose literally the. next day we go back out there I mean. yeah it was on the side it was it was in.
a field first of all I think it was it. was in a tobacco field but it was just. off the I think we had enough sense to. not put it right in the place that was. going to be plowed up probably not but I. think we started thinking I'm I remember. or at least I hope I remember being. smart thinking you w it's perishable. it's biodegradable and it's in a field. that is plowed. yearly maybe we should go Pi dig it up. you know this isn't going to work well I. just think you know the it's fun to bury.
it but then it's it's you know you don't. experience the complete Joy of it until. you dig it up I mean and why wait. especially when there's some if you're. hungry it's not like it's going to. change the cont the contents are going. to be exactly the same if you wait 10. years or if you wait the next and they. won't even be editable at that point. right yeah dig it up the next day so let. us know if if you've done that but the. other thing we're thinking is let's do. it again let's do a mythical Time. Capsule now we're starting restarting uh. Friday means mail which actually I think.
was going to be Thursday means Mail. Right meaning tomorrow so okay so you. have less than 24 hours to send us. something that we may or may not put in. the time capsule no we you have the next. few weeks but mail us something and our. idea is we'll take some of the things. you mail us if we deem them worthy and. also small enough to go in the mythical. Time Capsule this would be a fun. community building exercise bury. something together this time there's a. couple of things number one no non-. perishable Goods or perishable good. only make up your mind which do you want.
only stuff that won't perish okay I'm. with you on that and then we're going to. the exterior of the the the makeup of. the capsule is going to be something. that lasts like thousands of years just. in case okay so like plastic or. something and then the third thing is. and it'll be about this big so you're. probably going to want to do something. that's like it can fit within a 5 inch. or what is. that well you keep moving it what is. it choose it's like a game at the State. Fair choose the size okay that's what.
you chose that's the size we're going. with square needs to fit in a square. about as big as the top of this. microphone keeps getting smaller and the. third thing is is we're going to place. it somewhere that won't be plowed up I. mean maybe on some public land somewhere. and maybe we'll give the location and. we'll decide how long to bury it all. that stuff all that stuff later all we. know now is mail us stuff just because. you want to or if you want it to be in. the Time Capsule you should let us know. why and it needs to be an awesome reason.
I I think we also need to put uh. predictions a lot of people put. predictions that's good like a letter to. aliens maybe we should do that again. yeah we should do that we and CU this. time maybe it'll actually be found if we. leave it long enough by the time the. Alien Invasion takes place when is this. thing going to land on a secret spot not. today fire. Jason you know what. Jason this thing is not landed on a. secret spot you're in charge of these. secret spots this is obviously your. fault you're fired you're.
fired what where's he going what is he. what is he you you you're taking the. camera because you can't do that uh. don't take the camera uh never mind we. were joking you're. rehired my hair conceals my elf ears. they are a little bit. embarassing well with ha this High I'm. 6'9 making me a giant technically. speaking.
