  • There's some businesses out there that are so weird they're almost unbelievable.

  • Let's talk about that.

  • ♪ (theme music) ♪

  • - Good mythical morning. - Okay, today's pretty simple.

  • What we're going to do is there are some businesses out there that are crazy,

  • some that you might not think are real and that gave us the idea to play a game

  • right now, Link I'm going to test your knowledge of real or fake businesses.

  • - Real simple here. - I have an acute knowledge of real businesses

  • We come up with weird business ideas all the time so I do think that you'll be good

  • at this and you may already know some of these, I don't know.

  • So I'm gonna go through ten different ones, some are real, some are fake, you tell me

  • which ones are real, which ones are fake. If you get seven out of ten, seventy percent,

  • - That's just like a D technically. - Which ones are real?

  • - You gotta figure it out. - You're not gonna tell me?

  • - No, that'll defeat the purpose. - Hence the game.

  • You get a business tie, the official business tie.

  • I'm not even going to show it to you.

  • - Really? I find myself wanting an - Whoa, oh my, whoops. Don't look at it.

  • "official business tie" so I'm going to try really hard.

  • First company! A company that produces synthetic wishbones.

  • - Proudly made in the U S of A! - So you can wish without harming an actual

  • chicken because there's plenty of vegetarian and vegan people who still want

  • to make wishes and how are they going to do that unless a company exists?

  • I hope this is true and I'm gonna say that it is true for that reason.

  • (ding sound) Ding, ding, ding, ding. Yes it's called

  • "Lucky break wishbone corporation" and there's a guy named Ken Ahorni!

  • - Exactly, Ken Ahorni is a great inventor. - He was celebrating his 47th birthday slash

  • thanksgiving, guess that they're on the same day when it dawned on him

  • "Why is there only one wishbone to break?"

  • - Oh so he's just-- - So it wasn't about the vegans, man.

  • Everybody should get-- Every two people

  • - should get their own-- - And he's like "yeah, every pair of

  • - people should have a wishbone." - It was a source of conflict every sunday

  • when my nanny would fry up a chicken and we would fight over who got to pull the

  • - wishbone. And our family broke apart - Yeah.

  • - because of that. - Like a wishbone. Fun fact: a wishbone is

  • called a "Furcula" which also refers to a furry Dracula.

  • Shut your mouth.

  • Testicular implants for neutered pets to give the appearance that they're dog is

  • still his old self. Is there a company that sells these?

  • There may be a company that sells it but no one's buying this thing because the

  • ASPCA. I mean, this business couldn't stay and said business.

  • I'm gonna say that this is your pitiful attempt at... lying.

  • - (laughs) Fake. - You're wrong, Link they're real

  • - Noo! - and they're called "neuticles."

  • - No! - Here they are, there's a picture of them.

  • "It's like nothing ever changed" is the tagline.

  • - Oh my no! - Greg Miller got these for his dog named

  • Buck after he was neutered so that they would boost his confidence as he strutted

  • around the park. They come in varying sizes and differing firmness's (laughs)

  • Is it-- Maybe it's not cruel if it's part of the same procedure but it's cruel if

  • it's a different procedure.

  • Yeah, this is a get it all done at the same time.

  • Same time. Okay then, alright I should have known that.

  • How about this? A service where professionals

  • talk into an ear piece, guiding you through small talk on a first

  • date, or at parties. Is this real or fake?

  • - Hmm. Hmm. - Hearing piece.

  • - (whistles) - I could-- I could-- Okay,

  • I'm being told right now the answer. Just kidding. Ear piece humor.

  • - (both laugh) - Um-- Man,

  • this could be real. This is believable.

  • - More believable than the testicle one. - Neuticles?

  • - Testicle. - I'm gonna go that you made this one up,

  • - though. False. - You're right, Link!

  • (ding sound)

  • It's fake, but if it was real, it would be called WhisperingWingman.com.

  • - (laughs) - It could be real.

  • - I mean, you made that up. - That's not-- Yeah.

  • - You invented a business right there. - I tried real hard on this.

  • - It's only a website. - Oh man.

  • - How 'bout this? - Whispering wingman.

  • Somewhat like a dating service, a website that matches you with an

  • - imaginary friend. - Imaginary friend.

  • - Real or fake? - So this is a novelty site.

  • Is there-- But what do they charge for? Do they charge for that service?

  • - It's a business. - This, too, is fake.

  • - This is fake, my friend. - You sure?

  • This reveals your desperate need for an imaginary friend.

  • - You're right, Link! It's fake, - (ding sound)

  • but if it was real, it would be called, ImaginaryMingle.com.

  • - (laughs) Rhett, - (laughs)

  • you don't need an imaginary friend. I'm your real friend right here.

  • - I think this should-- - Am I not good enough?

  • I think it should be. Imaginary friends on the side,

  • - it's different. - (crew laughs)

  • - And everybody needs one! - Dogs need one in their-- Uh--.

  • - Rental service for a herd of goats to - (laughs)

  • - remove weeds from land. - Okay, so the all natural mowing service.

  • I was recently driving past a home and they had put an electric fence in their

  • front yard so that cows could be there. This was in North Carolina.

  • Hm. I would think that would not be in Los Angeles.

  • - Oh. - (crew laughing)

  • - What about the goat. - And so, I believe that this--

  • This could happen. Yes, it's true.

  • - Link you're on a roll! - (ding sound)

  • It's called We Rent Goats. WeRentGoats.com,

  • - which can be misread as Weren't Goats. - (both laugh)

  • - You don't wanna go to weren'tgoats.com. - (laughing) You know those goats--

  • - (laughing) They weren't goats. - we found out they weren't goats. Ayy.

  • - What were they?! If they weren't goats? - Yeah, properly managed goats choose the

  • weeds 85% of the time compared to 13% from grasses. I don't know how you manage goats.

  • - Properly but when you do-- - Take 10% off the top.

  • - An online marketplace that sells - Entertainment humor.

  • engagement rings from failed relationships. Woo, this is a smart idea.

  • So when your relationship fails you can get a little bit more money.

  • It's like Car Max for a broken engagements?

  • Yeah, rings. Sell the ring, the engagement ring.

  • - Oh man. I think I would've seen this - (high pitched) Oh man.

  • advertised. Because you have to advertise it to get people to give their rings to
