Welcome to Good Mythical More. This is a special place where, you know what’s going on here. That’s why you’re here. Everybody doesn’t make it over here. Yep. This is a thing now. It’s a threshold. This is a threshold that you have crossed. Welcome in. And you say, “You know what? I know what happens on the other side of this threshold.” Yeah. Everybody doesn’t know what happens here. Right. You’re invited, chill out. If you know, you know. If you know, you know. First, we’re going to award $30 at Mythical.com, at the store, to Rachel, because Rachel repped that Mythical merch out in the wild and used the hashtag Merchicality, so we could find it. In this More, we’re gonna, Stevie, you’re gonna present a name of a phobia. I was gonna say something. I’m going to… But you just moved right on. Oh. Let Rhett have the floor Congrats. To say something. I was gonna say- Sorry. Thanks for reppin’ in the wild, Rachel. The cloak is mythical, stuff. I was gonna say something like that, and you just moved right on. Yep. And I was gonna say, congratulations, you get your $30 at Mythical.com. And then I was gonna push the wheel out. I’m glad you stopped me. And then you were gonna say… I was gonna say what I didn’t say earlier, which is, Stevie’s gonna say the name of a really bizarre phobia. And then just based on that, we’re gonna have to guess what it is. And then we’re just gonna, we’re gonna talk about it. Riff, do some riffing. Because, when you know, you know. Right. You ready for the first one? Uh-huh. I’m starting easy. I have the fear of starting games. Do we get to see it? Do we have to do it? Do we get to see it? No. Alright. What? Do we get to see the word? Oh yes. All right, good. You can see the word. All right, hit it. Bananaphobia. Bananaphobia. Okay well. This has gotta be the fear of bananas. I’m gonna go out on a banana limb here. What? I mean, I just think this is simple, straightforward. This is the fear of bananas because banana is probably- What made you think of that? the Latin name for banana. Do you know the Latin name for banana? Banana. But you say it differently. Ba-na-na phobia. Ba-na-na. Ba-na-na phobia. Ba-na-na. Ba-na-na phobia. Ba-na-na. Ba-na-na phobia. That’s a great word to look at. It is the fear of bananas. Ba-na-nas. Ba-na-nas. ♪ Ba-na-na-na ♪ ♪ Ba-na-na-na ♪ Okay. That’s the only gimme. The rest of these are tough. What are, but what are… again, and it’s gonna be difficult. Just so I’m gonna go and just preempt this. It was kind of difficult in the previous episode. It’s difficult to be in a comedic mindset and to be talking about phobias and not run the risk of offending someone who has the phobia or someone who wants to get offended on behalf of the person who has the phobia, which is actually more common than people who have the phobia being offended. Just so you know, that is true. True that, so I… Fear of someone else being offended is the number one fear in the world. So what are we gonna do? Oh, yes. What are we gonna do? We’re gonna set ground rules, right? I think we’re just gonna pull out all the stops. Let’s pull out all the stops. We’re just gonna, like, Don’t worry about, if you don’t have the phobia, then have fun with it. I’m not gonna make fun of people being scared of bananas. And I’m not either. But if I had a banana right here, I’d probably pick it up and poke it up a little bit. I’d probably pick it up and poke it up a little bit. If I, if this, if my finger was a banana, I’d be like this; Wooo hoo hoo! There it is. Does that get you? Does that get you, does that get you, does that get you? So before, before he does what he’s doing. It’s just my hand. Let’s just, maybe let’s acknowledge. Hey, if you gotta fear of bananas, If you’re afraid of something. And if, especially if you have a phobia of something, okay. You know, we feel for you, but, but now we’re just gonna have fun with it, okay? Yeah. And it’s okay. It, it, it kind of, it’s, it’s a way to dismantle it. I mean, even in therapy, it’s like some of the stuff that I’m dealing with, it’s like, it’s a sense of humor can go a long way to help you put something in its place at least a little bit, okay? So we’re not making fun of anybody, especially you. Laughing about something, laughing about something doesn’t mean that you don’t appreciate the real struggle that an individual has with said thing. Those two things are not mutually exclusive. They can live together in harmony. That’s what I believe. So slipping on bananas. And if you disagree with me, I’m offended. Seems like you guys have “commentophobia”, which is the fear of bad comments. No, we’re just, we’re just trying That one’s a gimme too. We’re just trying to be agents of change, Stevie. Okay. Trying to shepherd the youth through this, these, these strange times. Cultural times. I’m just trying to shepherd the youth through them. We can get through this with a smile on our face. Everything’s gonna be okay guys. The bananas, they’re not gonna hurt you. Unless you’re allergic, then we got a problem. Right. Planes aren’t gonna hurt you either- unless they come careening into a mountain. If they crash, you do not have a chance. Okay? ‘Cause your chances of survival if the plane crashes are next to nothing. But your chances of a plane crashing… Next to nothing, so don’t worry about it. …don’t have an impact on your phobia. The chances of that banana, the chances of that banana turning on you and just eating one of your eyes out; very, very low. Very, that’s really low. Probably not gonna happen. Right. Nothing to be scared of. Geniophobia. Geniophobia. Genia… Gina… Probably not the fear of genies. No. Genia. Like the fear of genetics? No, genio is like… The fear of beginnings. I think it might be the fear of like a certain relative, like the fear of the next generation, the fear of your own children. Oh, I think it’s the fear of… what did I say? Genetics? What did I say after genetics? I quit listening. That was, that was, I think the right answer. All right. I think it’s the fear. It’s something like Genio, Fear of beginnings, the fear of starting something. That’s my answer. Oh, you know what? Yeah. You’re right. ‘Cause Genesis, he’s right. The fear of starting something. Oh, he changed. This all is coming from a rational place, but the actual fear just doesn’t make it. I don’t understand why it’s called this. I think, Rhett, you might have this fear though. Fear of running outta stuff to eat. The fear of chins. Ha! She got you. Stevie, I’m not afraid of chins. And as you can see, Jealous of chins. And as you can see, as you can see in that college video, when I weigh like 175 pounds, you can see my chin almost. And your earrings. I mean, you were, you were skinny as a rail, man. I was a skinny boy. That’s what it takes to see my chin. I’m not willing to do it anymore so I just grow a beard. That’s not the only video where you took your clothes off. It’s like, you were looking for excuses to take your clothes off. I mean, I just thought it was funny. Hey, Genio is Greek for chin. Oh wow. Davin just told me. Yeah, we learned something new. This is Greek, huh? I think Latin. So I guess if you’ve got Geniophobia, you can hang out with me and it would be fine. Yeah. Yep. But why… Fear of chins? You watched like too much Jay Leno? How does that work? I don’t, I don’t know. Like what, how does it happen? How does it develop? You got, you got hit in the eye socket with a chin one time. I don’t think there’s any, there’s not, I’m trying to tie rational, like, I know it’s not rational, yeah. trauma-inducing event to it. But like what happens? Why are people afraid of chins? Why are you afraid of chins? ‘Cause you could be like, I’m afraid of mouths. Okay, that kinda makes sense. Can you Google that? Cause like maybe you’re… I mean, couldn’t you say that about, I mean, why are people afraid of bananas? Definitely, the same thing with bananas. I’m supposed to remind you that you have 30 seconds to go to your happy place because you won the game. Give us one more, then I’ll go to my happy place. Okay, fine. This is hard to pronounce. Arachibutyrophobia. Arachibutyrophobia. So Arachi is, Arachnid. is like a Spider. But it’s like, it’s afraid of the spider’s butts. Booty. Afraid of spider butts. ‘Cause that, that’s where the silk comes out. But butyro… The actual place where the silk out is what you’re afraid of. It’s very specific. But butyro, I feel like this, this might be being afraid of becoming friends with a spider. ‘Cause you feel like you’re gonna get too attached. Like a Charlotte’s Web situation. You read Charlotte’s Web, you finished it. You closed the book. You walk in the next room, there’s a spider. And you’re like, just a second ago, I would’ve killed you on site. But I just finished Charlotte’s Web and now I feel like we’ve gotta be friends. And that scares me. That’s what’s happening here. Is he on the right track? That’s it, right? I was busy Googling “Why are people afraid of chins?” Which results in zero things. There’s no answer. There’s no article or Reddit post or anything that pops up for that particular question. Google that term. I can’t remember what it is. Google that and see if it comes up because I’m actually feeling like, I mean, it’s kind of like, like those holidays, people just start inventing holidays. People are inventing phobias. You think that’s happening? Yeah. Do you think people are inventing them and then adopting them to say they have a phobia? Yes. Are you saying that that’s happening? Oh, well. ‘Cause that’s quite a statement. Okay. Psych Times has it. It’s irrational fear of chins. That’s a legitimate… Someone suffering from this condition can expect to experience a very high amount of anxiety from merely thinking of chins, let alone actually seeing them. In fact, their anxiety may be so intense that they may even endure a full blown panic attack as a result of it. Yeah we understand phobia part. But tell us about the chin part. Make the connection, Psych Digest. Yeah, this looks to be a copy and paste situation after that initial sentence about chins. Right. It’s just the fact that yeah, you can be afraid… Oh, someone with this condition may isolate themselves from other people in an attempt to help reduce their chances of seeing someone’s chin. Yep. Oh, there’s a symptoms section. I think the symptoms are being afraid of chins. You know, I was gonna say, if people are watching this show, they probably don’t have a fear of chins. But then I was thinking maybe they put a sticker over your side of the screen. Yeah, there there’s like a chin spot that they, my chin rarely leaves this spot. So I think, you know, you’re welcome here. They just watched my side of the video. Well okay. Listen people, those of you out there with Geniophobia, there is a guy over there. That’s what… I’m over here! It’s not me throwing my voice. There’s a guy over there and he has a pretty pronounced chin. So yeah. I do, don’t I? Yeah. Yeah. So don’t pull the sticker off, okay? Between you and me, don’t pull the sticker off. I do have a pronounced chin. Okay. You are saying that Arachibutyrophobia is the fear of… Fear of befriending a spider after reading Charlotte’s Web. Okay, yeah yeah. Close. But it is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth. Oh! Okay. Now we’ve got something that I can relate to. ‘Cause there’s been a couple of times where I went hard on a peanut butter spoon and definitely thought I was gonna choke to death. That’s kind of related. Only time that happened to me is when we were filming that video where it’s like, man eats peanut butter. Yeah. And I almost died. And the medic that was there said that, ’cause that was when we, like we had a medic, remember we had a medic for a while there. Then I developed fear of medics ever since I got scared of medics. But they said that, no, that day they said, it’s actually not uncommon to choke on peanut butter to death. And you can’t, like, the Heimlich doesn’t work ’cause it’s peanut butter, just like you know, it just doesn’t, it doesn’t have anything to, the air doesn’t have anything to grab on to. So that’s a, this is a real thing, Man, I don’t, I don’t want, I don’t want you to ruin peanut butter for me. It’s just, you have to take smaller bites and you do that anyway. You do that weird thing where you, I actually have a fear of the thing that you do with spoons of peanut butter and ice cream. Yeah. When you put it in and pull it out and there’s still stuff on it. And you keep doing it. Donkey lip. Yeah. I have a fear of watching you donkey lip things on smooth things on spoons. And listen, I bet you can make all the fun of me that you want. You know, what’ll make you feel better? Going to your happy place for 30 seconds. 30 seconds is a long time. Are you, are you gonna describe it? No, I’m just gonna go to it. Ah, I want you to tell us. Well, we need to go at the same time. You tell me about yours. I’ll tell you about mine at the same time. Yeah. But we should face away from each other. I don’t wanna look at you. Okay. It begins now. Well I’m naked. How many clothes do you have on? I have on, I have on just a pair of, I have a Speedo on. Oh really? I’m gonna remain decent. I’m running. Oh you’re running. Yeah. You definitely need support. I’m not running. I’m lying face down. I’m jogging past a crowd. Oh. Oh, they’re not looking at me. They’re looking past me. I mean it’s really hot. And it’s time. Oh that’s it? Really? that’s all. That was 30 seconds? 30 seconds? Yeah. Let’s keep going. Doesn’t that feel good? No. Gimme another 30 seconds. No, I had all the time I needed. I was lying face down on a hot sandy beach, but I had dug a hole for my junk to drape in. This is why I said time. If you lie down, that’s the great thing about lying down on the beach is that you can dig a hole to drape your junk in. And I, if you haven’t ever done that, I highly recommend it. I have a, the choice of words drape. It feels unnecessary. All right. Dangle. Place. Can you just place them? It’s like a, it’s kind of like a well. Sometimes, water starts bubbling up or crude oil or something. You know why? No. Because I have to dig the hole very deep. Oh, oh God. I’m so sorry. You’re starting to think, this isn’t the place for me. This threshold’s not for me. Well, you can go over to the Mythical Kitchen channel. Yeah. Yeah. It’s not, they’re not, They’re not draping anything. It’s not your ordinary cooking show. Right. They make food dreams come true, every Tuesday and Thursday. They want they take, Check, check, check, check ’em out! They take you to your food happy place. For more than 30 seconds at a time. Unless it’s a short. You were running past a group of people in a Speedo who weren’t looking at you. I thought that they were, and I felt their gaze. And then I realized that it was, they were looking past me and I was like, okay, no pressure. Keep running. Why were you feeling their gaze? Because I mean, that’s instinctive. Right. I can tell when people are looking at me. Look, in fact, I’ll tell you when you’re looking at me. Now. Now. Now. How you do that? Remember when we did a whole episode about that particular thing? Yeah, yeah. I remember that. That was a time. Remember when we got through three fears and one of them was bananaphobia in over 15 minutes? You know what, fine, let’s go fast. Lightning round. Nomophobia. Nomophobia. That’s like, That’s a fear of things ending. That’s a fear of there being no mo’ of whatever. Listen, this is the fear that I have. This is why at my house…if you come over to my house for a party, we get way too much food. And then we send it all home with you, without fail. Because I got no mo’ phobia. I don’t wanna have no mo’ food. Oh. I thought it was near of missing out. You’re there, but you nearly missed out. Right. ‘Cause it’s not a fear, it’s a near. It’s a fear of nearly missing out on something. It’s the fear of being without your mobile phone, which I totally get. Nomo, not mobile. I get that, nomophobia. That’s that’s like, Alright, let’s hit it. Another one. Lightning round. Globophobia. Mobophobia? Globophobia. This is a fear of gloves. Let’s keep it. Let’s keep it simple. No, I think it’s just a fear of, it’s the fear of believing facts about the shape of the earth. Okay. It’s the fear of balloons. Oh. Fear of balloons. I kind get that one actually. Balloons make weird noises sometimes. And they, if somebody’s got one and they let it go, it could go right into your esophagus and choke you, you know? You do have a fear of choking. Yeah. It’s the Dick Bowser effect. I have a, I wouldn’t say I have a fear of it. I have a hyper vigilance about it. Like if I’m, if I get a steak… Because it could kill you. A phobia is technically something that’s harmless. Or like, I don’t, I, don’t change Not an immediate danger. I don’t like not enjoy things because of it. I just think, Hmm. This could be it. Is it worth it? You gotta think about this. Apparently everything is worth it. Yeah, yeah. I end up, yeah, it doesn’t stop me. All right. And finally. Oh finally? Yeah. That’s my cue. Venustraphobia. Venustraphobia. Venustraphobia. Venustraphobia. Venustraphobia. Fear of championship tennis. Oh, it starts with a… No, it starts with a ‘V’. Venustraphobia. Yeah. You know, Venus Williams. Well, I do. Tennis champion. Right. This is when you’re afraid that Venus is gonna win in a Venus versus Serena like matchup. Or anybody. I don’t think that happens very often. But also it’s Venus… We’re having trouble somehow. Yeah. It’s venustraphobia. That is correct. What you’re seeing right now. Venus fly trap. Venus trap phobia. This is a fear of getting your little finger bitten by a Venus fly trap. Or any appendage. This is the fear of beautiful women. Okay. I get it. Okay. I mean, listen, they can be intimidating. You can just lock right up sometimes. It’s fine. It’s okay. It’s normal. It’s natural. But just remember, they fart 14 times a day. They take a couple of poops. All right. They’re just like you. Are you rushing or are you dragging? I, I don’t know. Are you rushing or are you dragging? I don’t, I don’t know! Are you rushing or are you dragging? Dragging! So you do know!
