(rooster crowing) (lion roaring) – Welcome to “Good Mythical More”. We are going to patch up your relationships. You submitted problems that you’re having, little spats, arguments that you’re having with your significant other. And we’re gonna settle it here and now for you. – But first, we are going to donate $1,000 to the Los Angeles LGBT Center, which provides services for more LGBT Center than any other organization in the world, offering programs, services, and global advocacy in areas such as health, social services, education, leadership, and advocacy. And the Mythical crew, we’re actually all gonna be a part of a big 5k- – A race. – That’s happening sometime this year. And we’re raising, we’re trying to raise $10,000. So if you wanna be, support the center and also support our team, go over to LALGBTCenter.org/Mythical and give, y’all. – Thank you for being your mythical best. Also super excited to have all of this updated grooming collection, and this comb, which we’ll play with in a little bit. Stevie, hit us with a lover’s quarrel. – [Stevie] Well, this first one has, contextually, a bad user name because it’s Psycho Girl. – [Both] Okay. – [Stevie] So I feel like we shouldn’t add this to the dilemma here. – Okay. – All right. – [Stevie] We argue on how to pronounce scallops. He’s from New England and says scall-ups. I say scal-ups because that’s the right way. – Scall-ups or scal-ups. – Scall-ups or scal-ups. – Scall-ups. – [Stevie] Been married for 13 years and dated for nearly 10 before that, and still argue about this every single time it comes up. – Scall-ups. – [Stevie] Scall-ups and scal-ups. – Here’s what we can relate to with this is we can relate to the pee-can/peh-con situation, which interestingly enough, coming from south Georgia, which seems like it’s even deeper South, I would have thought that the deeper you go in the South, the more you’d get pee-can versus peh-con, right? Because peh-con almost sounds like, “Peh-con”. – Yes. – But coming from south Georgia where there was a lot of pee-can trees, my family always said peh-con. – Yeah, it reverted back. Or maybe we’re just wrong about that. We haven’t really landed on a solution. I’ll just put something out, food for thought. If you are beginning the conversation, if you’re the first person in a conversation to refer to this thing, say it how you wanna say it. And then in that conversation, both of you have to say it that way. – But then if you just start- – I think I’m more into scall-ups. – But what if you start- – Then you’re like, “Yeah, I’m thinking about scal-ups.” – Frivolous conversations about scallops, just so you can say scallops. – Yeah, it can be a power play. – What do you say, by the way? – Scal-ups. – Scal-ups, me too. – But you know what? I’ve said scall-ups. – I have said scall-ups. – [Stevie] I’ve never, ever, ever heard scall-ups. – I’ve heard it and I’ve said it. – I think my mom might say scall-ups. – [Stevie] There’s see-rup and sir-up. I’ve heard that one. – And then there’s sare-up. – [Stevie] Sare-up? – Sare-up, just say sir-up. – I don’t wanna say there’s not a solution, but I’m just saying, just get over it. – I think they’re, this is a situation where they’re both… This isn’t like one person say especially and the other person says ex-pecially. The person who says ex-pecially is wrong on every front because it’s especially, not ex-pecially, because the C is not at that place in the word. This is just a different pronunciation. So I just say, let it lay, come on. Hug each other, love each other. But if you say ex-pecially, get off the boat. – Let’s move on before we change our minds. – [Stevie] I would like to say, Psycho Girl, scal-ups, you’re right. You’re totally right. – Okay, all right. – [Stevie] Oh, this is from @Lexor, who says- – Alexandra. – [Stevie] Alexandra, who says, “My husband leaves his dresser drawers “open constantly, “not all the way open, just like an inch, “which somehow makes it worse “slash more annoying to me. “For him, near enough is good enough apparently.” (Link sighs) – Well, I’m guilty of this. But you know what my wife is guilty of? Not fully tightening the tops of things. And that’s a pet peeve of mine. – Well yeah, because- – She gets mad at me about the dresser drawers. – This is more- – And I get mad at her about the screw tops. – [Stevie] What do you mean? Give an example of what she doesn’t tighten. – Like the orange juice jug? – No, well, maybe. Usually it’s like you’ll pick up the peanut butter, and you’ll be like, “Oh, the top “is just sitting on top of it.” And then my kids inherited this. – That’s wild. – My kids inherited this. – You just put it on there? – And then here’s what I don’t understand. – I’m getting angry hearing about it. – Taking the time to put the top on, but then not screwing it all the way. – [Stevie] That’s dangerous. She’s playing with fire. – Yeah, she is. – [Stevie] You could just drop that thing. They could go everywhere. – Yeah, you’re right. But that’s not really what we’re talking about, I guess. We’re talking about dresser drawers, which I gotta stay out of this one because I’m guilty of this. – Christy and I are simpatico. We always push all our drawers in. So we’re on the same page. I feel for you, Alexandra. I think you need to make this an issue of love. I think you need to have a conversation, say, “This may not matter to you, “and it may make you upset that it matters to me, “but I just wanna tell you, “when I look at the drawers and one’s a little agate, “it bothers me.” It bothers me too, so I’m on your side here. But again, it’s not about right or wrong. It’s about saying, “When they’re all pushed “all the way in flush, “it makes me feel good. “And if you do that, “then I will start to associate your love for me “with all the drawers being closed. “And you’ll reap the benefits.” – Can I tell you where I thought you were heading with that? I thought you were gonna say is, if you would say make this a love thing, it would be like, she would be like, “Hey, baby, come over here to the dresser.” And then she- – Push that drawer in. – She would have her hands on it- – All the way- – And then she would say, “Put your hands on mine, and let’s push together.” And they would push it, push it real good together, and they would push all the drawers in together. That’s something I could get excited about. – It’s just simply, well, I’m kind of telling her to make it something he could get excited about. But also, say what it communicates when he does that, and she will notice. – Okay. – [Stevie] Yeah, ’cause then he’d start leaving all the drawers open, all the time. – Right. – Yeah, ’cause he wants, he wants to have a pushing session. – That would backfire. – Okay, before we get to another one, let’s talk a little bit more about this grooming line. Listen, y’all- – Super proud of the packaging. – Totally redesigned. – It’s all green. We’re big fans of green. – It’s a throwback. It’s a throwback to the early days of Rhett and Link when everything was green. We were like, “Hey, you know what? “Let’s go full circle,” or come full circle. Go and come, I don’t know. Everything’s green. – We knew that we wanted to expand on our pomade, where it goes from the mighty but malleable original pomade to then include the clay pomade that’s fierce but flexible. I found myself needing something a little more firm, and I want your bases to be covered. – And as a man with a big, bushy beard, the beard oil kind of keeps the beard conditioned. But it doesn’t necessarily do a lot to keep the beard groomed as much, especially if you’ve got a really strong, wiry beard. So the balm, it’s got a nice smell to it. You like that? – Yeah, I like all of the scents. – And it creates a little bit more of a, little bit of a hold here. – Speaking of scent, the subtly scented, but soothing Mythical Hand Lotion is based on our Mythical Number Nine cologne. – That smells nice. – So I really love the cologne scent. And this is a more accessible price point so you can still have that mythical scent about you and also keep your hands hydrated or your entire body. There’s enough here to slather an entire body probably once, maybe three times. – I think I could get my whole body twice. But again, the thing that’s kind of, in our minds, the centerpiece of this whole thing is this musical comb because, this thing, there’s actually, we collaborate with Beard and Lady, our friends Lance and Lacey, for all this stuff. And they came to us with a connection to a friend they had who has had this idea for this musical comb for a long time, since he was a child. – He patented it when he was like- – He patented it as a kid. – Seven years old? – And we were like, “This is the perfect thing “to put the GMM theme song into.” – Yeah, and so literally the length of the tines, if you look at the bottom, you can see that that’s what creates the different notes. It’s not just in your head. It actually works. – They all meet at the bottom, of course, and they’re all the same width. So it’s still a good comb, a good functional comb, but you get the added benefit of the… (“Good Mythical Morning” theme playing on comb) – You gotta get the, the timing is up to you. (theme music continues) – I gotta get it. – Oh, that was good. (theme music continues) Let me try. (music stuttering) Nope. (theme music continues) I’m not as good as you. I haven’t been practicing as much. – It takes, I mean, it’s like a musical instrument. It just takes a little bit. And then you get the timing down. I feel like this is just the beginning. – You can probably do it on your teeth too. – This is just the beginning of the musical comb. – And then I’ve gotta get, I’ve gotta break open this candy milk. Peculiarly perfect peanut butter peppermint lip balm lives on and is joined by, oh, I’ve got so much lotion on my hands, I can’t open it. – While he’s trying to open that, I will let you know- – We’ll do that later. – This is wood. It’s not plastic. I thought that was a big deal ’cause I thought, “Oh, it’s just…” No, this is made out of wood. (knocks) That’s not plastic. – All right, let’s solve another lover’s quarrel. – [Stevie] I was so enthralled by looking at all the grooming products. But I guess we can, I guess we can. – Oh, man, I love the smell of this lotion. I’m very happy with it. – [Stevie] It’s kind of perfect because it’s not too overpowering. It’s not the type of lotion that you walk into the room, and you’re like, “Whoa,” you know? But then there’s a nice smell that’s for you. – Yeah, just for us. – [Stevie] For you. – A unisex cologne-ish type thing. – [Stevie] Not for you, but for the person wearing it. – My beard smells amazing right now, by the way. – [Stevie] B-B-Brittany. After seven years, I recently found out my BF doesn’t like french fries, says they’re just sticks of potato. It’s hard for me to look at him the same. – I agree, de-friend him. – Oh, wow, you feel strongly about this. – Sticks of, don’t like fries? That’s so weird. I’ve never met anybody who don’t like fries. – But how would you, how would it take seven years? – I don’t think you should de-friend him. I’m just joking. – Now my wife recently found out- – Who am I to say that? – That I didn’t like sweet potato. And she was like, “But you’ve been eating it all this time.” I was like, “Yeah, I just haven’t really been liking it.” So maybe he’s just been eating sticks of potato for years, and he just finally got honest and said, “You know what, I don’t like these french fries “we’ve been eating with every hamburger.” How does this go for seven years? – French fries are typically something you order for yourself. They’re not something… Of course you can have them and you can share them, but I think the bigger problem with french fries is when you order ’em and then people wanna take ’em. So, Brittany, I think you might be in a good situation here. You just need to keep your mouth shut and eat your… (laughs) Eat your french fries, and just let your BF just be on the losing end of this. – Here’s one thing I’ll add to this is that I saw a study this past year that the amount of french fried potatoes, is the term that they used in this particular study, that a person eats is one of the number one indicators of morbidity, mortality or whatever. – Oh, yeah, they’re bad for you. – And that doesn’t necessarily mean that french fries… I mean, we know that french fries are bad for you. But the more you eat french fries, the more diseases, diabetes, cancer, stroke, heart attack, all that stuff that you have. And it usually, it might be a correlation, not a causation thing. I think there is some causation. So all that to say, Brittany, maybe your- – You need to cut back on your french fries. – Your BF is gonna outlive you because of this. Maybe you should just be happy about that. – Did you know there’s a secret zipper pocket inside of the toiletry bag? – Oh, yeah. – And it’s high quality canvas with embroidery on it. We’re doing you right with this. You will not be disappointed in any of these products. And if you are, you know what? Review it on Amazon. We’re all ears. That’s how confident we are. You’re gonna love this. – [Stevie] @WhiplashXSmile. The topic of Elon Musk is forbidden in this house forever because we once had a huge fight concerning whether or not sending a Tesla to space against the advice of scientists was innovative or if it was just a douche move. – Wow, they can’t even bring up his name? – He’s a polarizing figure. – Yeah, that’s a… I mean, that’s definitely worth fighting over. – Well it depends on your position on space junk. I have, and I would expect that you also do, have a pretty strong opinion on space junk, having written a whole song about it way back in the day- – Yeah. – For the Science Channel. – A toenail could decapitate a cosmonaut. – And what is it the… I’m sure one of y’all back there knows. What is the effect where something starts breaking up in the low orbit, and then all of a sudden it starts hitting other things? And then you basically have this shield around the earth. It’s the something effect that they keep wondering is going to happen if like two satellites hit one another, and then the debris hits other things. And then basically we can’t even get outside of our orbit to travel into other parts of space. So I think Elon has, whether he wanted to or not, he has contributed to the potential of that effect being catastrophic. And so I think this was a bad idea. I’m gonna say it was a douche move. So whoever was on the side of this was a douche move is correct. – It’s tough not to be able to talk about the world’s richest man at all though. – Yeah, well, yeah that’s true. But probably not that hard actually. – Yeah, just let it go. – Let’s just, in fact, let’s just not talk about him anymore this episode. – [Stevie] @SkyFaceBear. – SkyFaceBear? – [Stevie] SkyFaceBear. – The SkyFaceBear? – [Stevie] Mm-hmm. Whether dogs have arms or four legs. Hear me out! – Okay. – [Stevie] A dog has two shoulders and hips, so what is on the end of shoulders? Arms! We’ve literally had stand-up, shouting arguments over this. It’s the hill I’m prepared to die on. – Here lies Nick. He believed that dogs had arms, and that’s what killed him. – This is really funny because, just the other day, so Barbara does this thing where, like most dogs do, where if you stop petting her, she’ll, she’ll put her… And when she does this, I say, I call it her hand. I call that her hand, and I know that it’s a foot. Technically speaking- – Well, it’s a paw. – Yeah, technically speaking- – But he’s saying it’s not a foot. You’re agreeing with him. – Well no, here’s what I’m gonna say. I’m gonna say I am of two minds on this because, technically speaking, it’s four legs. And it’s four legs because of the function of the leg is to hold a body up. An arm is not meant to hold up. That’s how you distinguish. It has nothing to do with the shoulders. It has to do with the function. And that’s why they say it’s a four-legged animal. They don’t say it’s a two-armed, two-legged, and they just happen to have two arms that are on the ground at all times. We distinguish between legs and arms based on the primary function. But when she uses her front legs like hands, when I’m interacting with her as a human would, I consider them to be arms and hands. So it depends on what she’s doing. If she’s in bed with me, they’re arms. If she’s walking around the house, they’re legs. – [Stevie] If she’s in bed with you, they’re arms? – Yeah, Barbara sleeps with me all the time. – [Stevie] But what is she doing with her arms to make them arms in bed? – Touching me. Saying, “Don’t stop petting me.” She puts her hand right on my face. Maybe I just wanna think of it as a hand instead of a foot when it’s on my face. It’s right there. – [Stevie] Oh yeah, no, Ringo uses his front paws as hands, 100%, like no dog I’ve ever seen. He grabs things. He will grab your hand away. – Like a mug? – [Stevie] He will grab for things in a way that’s very hand-like. – So in that case, they’re hands. But when he’s walking around, they’re legs. – I think, Rhett, I agree with you in that arms and legs are not defined by if they come from shoulders or not. That’s just not… That’s a truism normally, but that’s not the definition of an arm or a leg. – [Stevie] So we are telling @SkyFaceBear to die on that hill. I mean, to not die. – Rest in peace. – [Stevie] To die? – No, we’re saying- – [Stevie] We just disagree. – You need to come off that hill. – [Stevie] They can yell and be prepared to die. – Yeah, and it depends on if they have a dog and if that dog gets in the bed with them. – Hm, that’s tough though. It is tough. – [Stevie] Okay, this is the final one. @AlyssaLipets. Recently my BF got mad at me because I wouldn’t get off the toilet so he could pee. I told him to go in the shower, to which he refused and almost peed his pants because I refused to get up. What? – So she was on the toilet. He needed to pee really badly. I mean, she’s on the toilet. Were you done? – I don’t think so. This reminds me of a story from my childhood in which one of my friends and his dad were on a trip together. They were staying at a hotel with one bathroom. They were out together, and then they both realized that they had to do what we call the number two, which is dookie. And they get home, and the son gets to the toilet before the father, begins to do his business. But both of them were literally about to explode. And so as opposed to waiting, the dad leans over into the bathtub right next to the toilet in the hotel room and lets it fly. Father and son bonding. They will remain nameless. I think you know who it was. – They will be renamed when we tell this story. – (laughs) We will rename them. Chuck and Larry. – Hey, better than the sink, you know? You’ve got… You’ve got a bigger drain. I don’t know, I don’t wanna get into the details. – I think sometimes you can make a space for somebody. And if he’s got good aim, he could get right through there. – Yeah, Alyssa, just spread your legs and give him a target. – Spread your legs. Give him a target. I could hit a target that small. Psh, like a rifle. – I mean, that is a trust exercise if he’s gonna try for a bank shot. – [Stevie] We’re going out- – Like your abdomen or something. – [Stevie] On a piece of advice of you telling her to spread her legs, okay. – Yeah, what we’re saying specifically is, she shouldn’t get up off the toilet. She should spread her legs, and he should- – Aim. – Pee. – Yeah. – In between her legs. – You know it’s been done. You might like it. – You might like it. – [Rhett] Our grooming collection is growing. Shop the expanded Mythical Grooming Collection now at Mythical.com.
