I cannot describe how much I'd love to see Unattended Baggage as an actual show. The concept is so good, the characters are amazing, and the story sounds very intriguing. I'm so sad that it got cancelled.

I truly believe it could've transcended them entirely into the mainstream pop-culture zeitgeist; like Rick and Morty level cult following for that show.

I love their vulnerability, realness, and passion for creativity. I wish I had a tenth of their energy. Their work is so underrated and underutilized in the "best city to make dreams come true"! They deserve so many kudos for their perseverance in the face of rejection.
I REALLY want to see Legitimate! But also...flip flops that don’t make a flop sound is...the funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time. I had to pause this episode because I couldn’t stop laughing. 💀

It is SUCH a rare treat to be able to talk together about your podcast. Many, many thanks for making so much of your content accessible!!!!
I would've loved to see Unattended Baggage in a more "adultish?" type way on Adult Swim maybe? With the given RIck and Morty vibe given, it shows lots of promise!

i live in australia and i remember a kids show called “martin morning” where the main character woke up every morning as a different character like a witch or a dragon and had to solve some problem using his abilities that came with what ever he transformed into that day. your “norman normal” idea reminds me so much of that!

I was thinking that Legitimate sounds a lot like The Ranch! I would love to see it!
I like the Legitimate, Unattended Baggage and the Charlie Horse ideas. If I had stings to pull I would pull some strings to get them made.
A lot of these are killer ideas that I’d totally watch even if I had no idea who Mythical was - I’d love to see some of them resurrected!! This episode was so enjoyable to listen to!
Last night, I wore my Cotton Candy Randy Warhol shirt to a family get together. I was explaining the character to my brother-in-law, and then my niece comes in with a Butt Drugs t-shirt. I had to explain to them how the same duo was behind both shirts, and it made me realize just how many great ideas you guys have had and how ubiquitous you are. So, failed ideas happen, but you have a pretty spectacular batting average.
you guys could do a funding situation for "Unattended Baggage" from fans like us - and then sell it to an OTT platform for distribution.
I waited a whole extra week to watch the video version of this podcast. So looking forward to this!
That cartoon is seriously funny. I wish it wasn't in a rejected idea podcast.

Sounds like you all need to create your own production company and just go for it! 💜
This was a very helpful podcast. I've tried to pitch a number of ideas, including one to Mythical Entertainment a few weeks ago, and I never hear back. It's comforting to be reminded that everyone deals with rejection.

I love forest patrol. Like it was the first time my brother and I could be friends and is probably the reason why we have a friendship today.
I'd like to see Rhett and Link in a remake of the 80s sitcom My Two Dads with Rhett as the free spirit and Link as the uptight character. Or maybe an alternate universe version of Cheech and Chong if they had chosen to remain sober.

Link really got me into survivor. One or both of you guys should audition. I would give up world peace to watch that.
You two hear this a lot, I’m sure, but you are such a huge inspiration for flowering artists. Unlike you, I grew up in the digital era and you two are one of the reasons I’m in the entertainment industry now. Hearing your successes and your failures help me feel confident in my ability to succeed and create for a living. Thanks for everything you do!

It's funny that they used musical therapy as a comedic theme for a show pitch, it is actually a very popular major at my university.
I really want to see more Unattended Baggage even more now. I’m so interested in Damnyell and Cotton Candy Randy’s childhoods. Also, I love that Charles just knew people who raced lawnmowers. I’d watch anything you guys did.
You guys need to launch a Kickstarter campaign. Critical Role is doing it seemingly to great success.
Legitimate sounds hilarious- like Netflix level
Please don't give up on this!!!! On a personal level it's good to know that even you guys have projects that don't work out. I'm sorry they didn't but everyone should always try to follow their dreams don't be afraid of failure!!
The dislikes are from the people fired who were supposed to work on unintended baggage.
When you were talking about the dad getting the girlfriend pregnant all I could think of is when my great grandad ran away with my grandads (his sons) wife and making a family. Haha i know it’s hard to believe but damn, it’s so real, I feel so bad for my grandpa
Is this the first time that they've acknowledged the fact the ccr and damnyell are played by jordan and rhett?? XDD
Good morning, everyone! Except the people rejecting R&L ideas 🤣
I would really love to see most of these ideas (except the first Christmas film idea woof thanks Stevie for panning that) bc your absurdist humour is something I love. I hope you do manage to do something in traditional media someday and I will watch it. Also I just bought the lost causes of bleak creek audio book (I've been wanting to read or listen to it for a while but it was too expensive until an audible sale) and I'm about to start it.

I LOVE the idea of Unattended Baggage. I can see it really having a space in our culture in the wake of things like BoJack Horseman that used animated and sometimes bizarre characters and situations to explore some pretty serious and complicated stuff. I'd love to see this idea find a home someday.

I love Norman Normal idea, except add that they have to try and use the super powers from first open to try to fix the problem with hilarious fails
Hey I know you said you don’t lean into the “starting with two guys” idea but a full sketch show, that has short cartoons...& a buildable story line, you guys are born story tellers! I look forward to all your future projects
One of my favorite things about Liz Gilbert is how upfront she is about her experiences with failure, with losing everything she holds precious. Great recommendation!
There are some darn peak ideas in there.
Y'all should bring back the yearly "Would You Rather" segment to GMM.
Hi, board certified music therapist here. So glad you guys didn't stick with "musical therapy". Because that's a little bit of a pet peeve in the field. We're music therapists, not musical therapists 😂 keep up the great work, and I love your stuff! Been watching you guys for years
The Charlie Horse idea is similar to Futurama aliens watching "Singe Female Lawyer" (Ally McBeal) and it was cancelled. So they came to earth wanting to know what happened and found out it wasn't real and hilarity ensued.
31:50 the Mars thing is a real thing that NASA is doing, though I doubt they're making a show out of it 😂
Wait wait wait, buddy system is free now.
Unattended Baggage is totally a viable show. There are so many garbage television shows and movies out there right now, but this is super creative and unique and clever! I could totally see the show taking off. I hope there’s still a chance for it to be picked up by a network.
I really like videos showing your creative process, and management as a company (the Dell series for example). Please do more! 🙏
I was so sad after watching the sizzle real for Unattended Baggage because the whole time I thought you guys were joking about it not happening and at the end you'd be like "surprise this comes out in August!" Would so love to see it come to fruition ❤
Rhett would make a perfect Saint Rick & Link his elf. Green light!
MY REJECTED IDEA: gmm beyblades
You guys are friggin' hilarious. I've got no friends so when im not workin' and need good company I listen to y all. Thanks so much.

'Legitimate' sounds sorta like 'Schitt's Creek' but a little wackier
What about branching out like impractical jokers? Two lifelong friends compete to be ultimate joker.
Unattended Baggage needs to be made somehow, I'm not okay with just moving on living in a world where that show doesn't exist
I LOVE the Charlie Horse idea
I would've liked 'Unattended Baggage' a lot more if it wasn't animated. I think the magic of those two characters is in the mannerisms that Rhett and Jordan bring.

Rhett, get that chip off your shoulder, you guys pioneered digital media and its a very successful industry now. You are so hard on yourself and critical of your achievement. Be hungry for more but try to be damn proud of what you have created. Love the creativity. You both are stars and creative geniuses

I think Charlie Horse would be an amazing animated series. Something kinda like Deathstroke but less metal, more lighthearted and funny.
I’m so happy and grateful that this podcast is in my life. Love you guys!
Beef Queen really reminds me of Schitts Creek, it would make a great show
I'm kind of afraid of what the implication is of you sharing these. Does it mean these ideas will no longer see the light of day? Cause unattended baggage and Charlie Horse really seem like good ideas and I hope you get to make it! Thanks for not giving up and just continuing to make great ideas. I hope you get to make a series and movie soon! You guys just have so much potential the world has to see :)
If there were ever a wonderful example of what therapy can do for a person and, after a time, encourage others to try therapy, listen to the Ear Biscuits #122 about GMM22. This was recorded in the heat of the programming change at GMM. GMM MBs would have listened at the time, but listen again for a very different reason. Rhett's take on the situation in the moment is wildly different than what his take would be now. The difference between the Rhett of 2017 and the Rhett of 2021 is remarkable, fascinating, and awesome.
