(rooster crows) (lion roars) – Welcome to Good Mythical More. I see faces in all types of crap. You can, too. – You know what we also see? We see you repping that merch out there with #Merchicality! When you post yourself with some GMM merch, use that #Merchicality. We might find you, Bre. – [Link] We found you, Bre. – [Rhett] We found you. And you know what you’re going to get? – You’re gonna pay! You’re going to get a $30 mythical.com gift certificate. – Which means you’re going to give that $30 right back to us. (laughing) But then you’re going to get more merch. – But you get something. You get something for it. – [Stevie] Hi, guys. – Hey. – [Stevie] Do you know what pareidolia is? – That’s when you see faces in things that aren’t actually faces. – [Stevie] Yeah, it’s the tendency for incorrect perception of a stimulus of an object, pattern, or meaning known to the observer, such as seeing shapes in clouds, seeing faces in inanimate objects, or abstract patterns or hearing hidden messages in music. – Let me show you a face I found in Iraq on my trip. – Hidden messages in music counts too. – [Stevie] Yeah. – Oh my gosh. – Doesn’t that look like a potato? I mean, look at that. – [Link] It’s a potato head. – Yeah. And then look at this one. This one is even more pronounced. (both laughing) Hold on. What have you been… Is that, did you Photoshop that? – I did graffiti- – Is this a joke for me? – I did graffiti on the rocks. – Rhett? – You can do that, right? – Leave no trace, you jackass. – No, actually, this is a famous rock face- – Jabba the Hut? – in Alabama Hills where they’ve decided to paint these giant red lips and this star and these eyes. – That’s funny. – Maybe because at one point… I think what it was is it actually was that, you could see it was this face, but then they just decided to add the detail. – They should not do that. – The proverbial “they.” – Stevie, are you a KFC or Popeye’s… what’s your allegiance? – [Stevie] Okay, do you remember… I don’t know if it exists anymore. This restaurant Mrs. Winners in North Carolina? – I’ve heard of it, but I don’t think I’ve ever been. – We always got Mrs. Winners. And ever since I’ve been in LA, we’ve always gotten a local place. – There’s a lot of good fried chicken places. – [Stevie] Yeah. So I don’t have a… I don’t think I have a preference in between the two places. Mrs. Winners, y’all. – Mrs. Winters. – [Stevie] Winners. No T. – How often? How often- – What about Smithfield’s? – Do you bring in fried chicken? – [Stevie] I’ve never had Smithfield’s. Do I bring in fried… Oh, like how often do I eat fried chicken? – Yeah. – Not that often. – Bring it into your mouth. (Rhett chuckles) – [Stevie] There are a lot of really great Korean fried chicken places in LA. – Yes, that’s something that I did not experience until I was out here. – [Stevie] Yeah, so that’s my preference because it’s just a different take on all of the… All of the traditional things. But it has that extra kick. – I don’t know exactly how Korean fried chicken is different. – [Stevie] Spices are different. – There’s a slightly different spice profile. But it’s not so different that you would be like- – It’s not that different. – This isn’t chicken, this isn’t fried chicken. You’d be like, this is an interesting take on fried chicken. – All right, let’s see a photo, huh? Oh my gosh. – [Stevie] So it seems like an eyeball. – [Rhett] That’s a drain. – [Stevie] But what is it? – [Link] A sink drain. – [Rhett] It’s a sink drain with a whirlpool. – Okay, fine. It’s a sink drain. But doesn’t it look like an eyeball? – Yeah, it looks just eyeball. – If you backup. – [Rhett] That’s how it made its way into this compilation- – [Stevie] Stop. (chuckling) You just so quickly said it was a sink drain. I wanted you to appreciate it. – When you zoom out and take it all in, that is creepy. I mean, if you mirrored that and had the other one- – Can you imagine the whole face that that would be associated with? – Suds Man. – [Stevie] Wanna see another one? – Yes. – [Link] That’s not as good as your potato head, Rhett. – That is a potato though, right? – It’s a happy, old potato. – Yeah. It’s a potato. It was posted by Reddit user CriesOkay. – That potato has been out… The face has been out in the sun. – Poor guy. – [Stevie] Can I ask you about your potato consumption during quarantine? Do you regularly eat potatoes? – Growing up, my mom… There was this trend, we would always have potatoes, and we’d have a thing called a potato box. And it was like some wood worker published this sort of, I don’t know. – Oh, a potato box, that was like a wooden lid… It was like this, it had a slant on it, and then you opened it up and there was potatoes. – You opened it up. – My mom had one of those. – It was kinda like a- – [Stevie] Did it store them properly? – A farm feed bin, and it would store them in the dark. – In the dark ’cause potatoes hate light. – It would have a… It would have a metal netting on the bottom. And then it had a drawer underneath. – To catch this stuff that falls off of it. – No, the drawer underneath was for onions. – Onions! – Yeah. – The onion drawer. – And then they would write on it. – [Stevie] I need one of those. – They would like carve on it, “Taters and onions.” – How come we don’t have one of those? – It was like a farm bin made out of wood that you kept in your kitchen for taters into onions. – [Stevie] Well, but the thing is, is that I’ve been ordering groceries every two weeks and the onions and the potatoes, yeah, they’ve been having a little bit of an issue sometimes, I’ve been getting bad ones. – Well, when you don’t get to do the handpicking yourself, the person who picks it might not do a great job. Now, I recently got in trouble with my wife on Twitter because, well, I got- – That’s how you talk to her. – I got in trouble in real life, and then she takes her issues to Twitter. This is just what she does now. when she made some sweet potatoes, and by making sweet potatoes, I mean she put them in the oven and heated them up. And then you could like put butter or whatever on them, right? So basically- – [Stevie] Baked sweet potatoes. – Baked sweet potatoes, not sweet potato casserole. And I had made some ribs and I was pretty excited about it. And I kinda… I went in there and I got… ‘Cause I told her earlier in the day, before I went out there to smoke these ribs, I was like, whatever sides you want. And then I come in and she’s got sweet potatoes. And I just said, “Sweet potatoes, huh?” Obviously disappointed. And she was like, “Why did you say it like that?” I was like, “Oh, it’s fine. I mean…” And she was like, “Do you not like sweet potatoes?” I was like, “I’m not a huge fan of sweet potatoes.” She was like, “How come you haven’t told me this?” Then the next thing you know, she goes to Twitter. And she says, “After 19 years of marriage, my husband finally lets me know that he doesn’t like sweet potatoes. He’s kept this from me.” – She’s just using you for content, man. Don’t take it personal. – Oh, it works. – Look, here it is. I found it. – But sweet potato casserole, that’s good, because that’s just butter and sugar. – [Stevie] I like sweet potatoes, especially if you scrub the skin and do olive oil and salt, and in the skin is nice and crispy and you put butter and salt and a little bit of brown sugar on the inside There ain’t nothing wrong with that. – I know, yeah, yeah. But it’s just, there’s a lot of other things I’d rather- – [Stevie] Also, I really like smoking ribs. I’m about to smoke some ribs this weekend. – Oh, really? – [Stevie] Yeah. Low and slow, baby. – Send me your recipe. – [Stevie] Okay. I will. How about this photo? – [Link] What would that be? – [Rhett] That is a part of a- – [Link] It looks like an icon. – [Rhett] A cassette tape. – [Link] Looks like a icon. – [Stevie] Nope. – [Rhett] Like a tape. Can’t tell if it’s metal or just white. – [Stevie] It’s plastic. – I think it’s like a cup holder. – [Stevie] Close enough. It’s a cooler. – [Link] Oh, it’s the inside of a cooler lid. – [Stevie] Oh, it’s not plastic. It’s styrofoam. – Oh, I’m feeling that. All right, let’s see another one. Ooh. That looks like a dog. It’s looks like a freakin’… looks like a freakin’ hound dog. – [Rhett] It looks like another potato. – [Link] Is that wood? That’s a hound dog. – [Rhett] Or a hamster. – [Stevie] It’s wood. – [Rhett] I think it’s just- – Is it just wood? – It’s just a slice of a tree. – [Stevie] I mean, it’s a side of a table made of wood, but yeah. – [Link] Oh my gosh, look at that. – [Rhett] They got a dog hanging out in their table. – [Link] That’s cray. – And that dog’s hanging out in that table all the way through that piece of wood. Think about that. You keep cutting that piece of wood, you keep getting that dog. – More dog. – You know what they should do? Disassemble that table, cut it into little- – Shards. And sell it as dogwood. – Shards. – Dog shards. Dogwood. Dogwood! The official tree of North Carolina. – That is crazy. – Did you know that? – [Stevie] Yeah. – Do you know the official bird of North Carolina? – [Stevie] Cardinal. – Do you know the official crop- – [Stevie] Oh wait, did I tell you my funny cardinal story? – Don’t play his game, Stevie. – [Stevie] I think I probably have. That my dad was touring somebody around that was in town. He was driving and I was in the backseat and they were in the car and he was like pointing at things. And he was like, “Oh, actually there’s a cardinal. We don’t see them that often. But they’re the official bird of North Carolina.” And then it flew into the car, he hit it. (laughing) And it skidded into the side of the road and didn’t move. I’m pretty sure it died. But sometimes birds can go into this like shock state where they look like they’re dead, and then they get up. – That’s my favorite bird state. The shock. – Cardinal taste good too. – “Are they going to come back to life” state? – You fry up a cardinal, man, it’s some good eating. – Ooh, a cardinal breast. You know that the female Cardinal is not red. Looks nothing like the male cardinal. – [Stevie] Female birds have the crap end of the stick, let me tell you. – Yeah, they got bad end of nature. – [Stevie] Want another photo? – Yeah. – [Link] That is a… – [Rhett] That is a mouse? – [Link] That’s the underside of a sink. – [Rhett] That cable coming out of it makes it like a… some sort of computer issue. – [Stevie] Yeah, it was posted by Reddit user ToeyToeToe. – [Link] Oh, it’s the back of a compu- – [Rhett] Speaker. – [Link] Like a computer speaker. – [Rhett] You remember back in the day when you bought those speakers for your computer? – Oh, yeah. – Everybody bought those speakers. There were like – Yeah, yeah, yeah. two speakers and a subwoofer. And you hooked them up to your PC, and you were like, – 1999. – Man, I’m just going to sit here and listen to muzak. – Yeah. (crew laughing) – You see that woofer? It’s a cube. It’s big. I put drinks on top of it. Wanna come over? (laughs) – Show me, show me. Oh, out of focus banana with spots. – [Rhett] No, it’s got the… It’s something that just happens to have that… You gotta kind of like get back from it and sort of like squint your eyes a little bit. – It’s scarier. – [Rhett] That’s a tough one, man. – [Link] I don’t know what that is. – [Rhett] That’s so tough. – [Stevie] There’s kind of a hint in the shape of the eye. Like in the… in the pupil shape of the eye. – [Rhett] Like it’s sorta like a diamond shape? – [Stevie] Yeah. – [Link] Or square? It’s a screw. – [Stevie] Yep. Yep. Yep. – It’s a screw. – [Stevie] It’s a screw. There’s no way you could guess the rest of it, so I feel like “It’s a screw” is a.. – [Rhett] Oh, it’s on the subway. – Oh gosh, that really scared me for a second. – And somebody has come and put the nose and the mouth on with a marker. – [Link] I think they have. Yep. I think they have. – Yeah, yeah, definitely. Because I wouldn’t make any sense from a- Quick reminder- – Structural standpoint. – What’s the podcast you want them to listen to? – Well- – That we made. – I’m a big fan of Radiolab. – No, no, no. – And… Oh, yeah, Beer Biscuits, the one we make. – [Stevie] Beer Biscuits. (chuckles) – Beer biscuits is we’re changing the name, and all we do is talk about the latest in hops. – Do you want to know about our lives and our intrusive thoughts that we try to escape constantly? Well, we dump them on “Ear Biscuits.” – What if we did Beer Biscuits and we just drank beer while we did it? – We can do that. – [Stevie] You know what’s funny is that I actually read Jessie’s tweet about “Ear Biscuits” as well. – Yeah, she’s real funny on Twitter, isn’t she?
