GMMore 2223: What’s Your Biggest Pet Peeve?

Welcome to “Good Mythical More”. I’m glad you’re here. We have these paddles and they say, “Face head on” or “Move on” and we’ve got decisions to be made. Yeah, that’s right. Honestly, I don’t know what we’re about to do. Well, we’re about boogie down now. Okay. We boogied down, dude. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I must admit to something. Face head on. You don’t know either, what we’re doing. I didn’t know. I guess I just didn’t really even think about the definition of ‘chip on your shoulder’. For some reason, in my mind, I never thought too hard about it, but I was like, it’s like an arrogant person. I don’t know why that was the definition in my mind. Oh, he’s got a real chip on his shoulder. Like he, you know? Like a colonel or something. You’re asking, are you asking what a chip on your shoulder really means? No, I’m telling you, I just learned. She knows now. Essentially somebody’s holding a grudge, that’s the chip. But you didn’t know that. But I just didn’t. It’s not a phrase that I encounter often and when I did, it made sense that that person had a chip on their shoulder, they’re a jerk. They’re an arrogant jerk is what I thought. Really? Well, I’m gonna start using it more often then. I’ll start trying to use it monthly. Well, how do you use it? I mean, it’s a very specific use case is what I’m trying to say. Well, I think I’ve said it before, I’ll be like, I mean, I would try not to make it seem like we’ve got chip on our shoulder because we’re just internet guys, you know? Yeah. You’d have to have multiple chips on multiple shoulders. Perfect example recently, one of my sons made friends with another kid. Oh, good. Yeah. I was very happy that it finally happened. And it’s not unusual in LA for you to find out that the friend that your kid has just made, their parents, they’re somebody. You know what I’m saying? Oh, they’re somebody, they’re doing something kind of interesting. And I find out that the parent, the dad of this kid is a super successful painter who sells paintings for over half a million dollars per painting. Wow. Okay, so this is, there’s a lot going on here. Yeah. And so then, so I’m talking to Jessie about it. I was like, you know what? Maybe I won’t tell him I’m a YouTuber, I’ll tell him I’m a musician because I got a chip on my shoulder, Stevie. Not I’m that I’m arrogant. Yeah, you’re a real jerk. When you’re getting to know a painter who’s selling paintings for half a million bucks, you’re just like a YouTuber. Is it you feel that you were owed something? There’s a broader definition then. It’s an act of holding a grudge or grievance that readily provokes disputation. Oh. See, you’re not quite even– I guess my understanding is not quite right. But would you have said the way I described it, is that your understanding of it? Like I gotta chip on my shoulder about this thing about me. Okay, now here’s a completely different definition. Feeling like you were owed something. To have an angry or unpleasant attitude or way of behaving caused by a belief that one has been treated unfairly in the past. Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. Yeah, that’s my definition. This painter has not treated me unfairly yet. Yeah, see, see? That wasn’t quite it. Well okay, here’s what we’ll do. He could charge you half a million dollars for a painting. We asked the mythical beasts, plural. That’s where it starts, by the way. Essentially, if they were holding grudges, if they had chips on their shoulders. Okay. And they have told us some of the grudges that they are holding and you guys have to decide should they move on or should they confront– Face it head on. Okay. The people or things associated with these grudges. Let’s hear one. At Mythicalfilms says, “My best friend in middle school spoiled the ending of “Harry Potter” for me and I literally never talked to her again.” Oh. I think it’s time for us to all move on from “Harry Potter”. Ooh. What is the ending? That they were all gay, right? Yeah, that too. You literally never talked to her again? Dang, that’s harsh. I think you gotta. I don’t know what face it head on, what does that mean? She did move on. She never talked to– Facing it would be like calling up that person, I think, and being like, listen, when you did this to me. Yeah, you gotta get rid of the chip on your shoulder. You’ve got to, which is face it head on, right? Mm. Move on means you’re putting it behind you. Facing it head on means you’re going back and confronting this person. Right? Sure. What does move on mean? What does these mean? I don’t know. What does these mean? What is on a show? If you have a chip on your shoulder, but then you move on. Should you move on or face head on? Do you forget about it if you move on, you forget about the grudge. You decide to drop the grudge or– Drop the grudge. You decide in order to face the grudge– We were both on team move on. Okay. Yeah, drop it. That’s good. Move on. At CamriTheHBIC, huh? “My BFF in middle school asked to borrow my Britney Spears “Oops! I Did It Again” CD.” Ugh, we got a lot of, I have a story. “And I told her no, because I had it since I was six. It was very first CD and my favorite, but she was free to borrow my other CD. She took it when I wasn’t looking and didn’t put it in a case so it became extremely scratched. So scratched it didn’t play anymore. I still have it for sentimental reasons, but it still upsets me that she ruined my favorite CD. This happened almost 15 years ago. Now help me get over this.” You need to contact this person. 15 years is– I think you gotta– Past the statute of limitations. I think you gotta face it head on. I think you gotta ask the person to buy you– A pristine Britney CD. Yeah, yeah. You can get one on eBay. You still listening to CDs? Is that what you’re doing? That’s some great quality. My sister borrowed my Britney Spears CD. It was an earlier CD. It was “Baby One More Time”. Oops, I did it the first time? It was “Baby One More Time” and she stepped on it accidentally and broke it right in half. Okay, so. That’s hard to do actually. And it really was upsetting to me. What’d you call her in that moment? Hmm. Probably like a dookie face or something. Goopy face? What’s the worst word you’ve ever said to your sister? Shut up. You know, the S word. For some reason, the insult that’s going around our house is Dingus. Why is that the word? Because Shepherd’s third grade teacher called the students Dingus and– Lily got it from college. All the kids started calling each other Dingus. It’s in college now. But that sounds playful. If someone broke your CD, you wouldn’t say, “You Dingus.” Yeah. Is Dingus– The rage. A college thing now? It’s a college thing now. I thought it was a third grade teacher thing. I wanted to take a moment before we move to the next one. We’re done with this one, right? You gotta just get a new CD if you’re still listening to ’em. Trevor. You’re talking about Trevor being a snowboard cleaner? Polisher. Polisher Cleaner is a different word. I didn’t know that you. I’m a fan of your work. I didn’t realize that you were a child actor. As a family, we were re-watching “Lord of the Rings” and in the Two Towers, I was like, Trevor is that kid who Aragorn tried to get. He gave him a sword and taught him how to use it. Google that. Google– You got it. Two Towers kid. You know what I mean. Two Towers kid who gets sword. Two Towers kid who gets sword. Come out here, Trevor. I just want you to look. Okay. Is this screen on? I could look it up. What’s up, everyone? Is that not? Is that not Trevor? Trevor, come back out, man. Okay, look. Oh my God. You played Haleth, son of Hama. I think in Fellowship. Wow. He gets put on the, yeah. Trevor. You get put on the horse and you’re leaving the burning town. Can you make that face? And then later, you’re with your little sister. Hey, dude, that could be you. Is that not? That’s you, right? I think that kid would be older. That’s you? That’s not me. That is you. Is that your older brother? No. Wait, Two Towers? I was probably like six when that came out. Yeah. And that kid’s 12. Haleth was a young boy of Rohan estimated to be around 14 who is forced to fight at the Battle of Helm’s Deep. Any of this ring a bell? He is a movie character. Keep going. And does not appear in the book. Oh. So I was actually in the book version. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Tom Bombadil. Dude, that is. If that’s not you, I don’t know who that is. What? It’s not me. Say, “I am Haleth, son of Hama.” Oh, that’s who that guy is today. Yeah, so look at us now. Now, have you ever thought of doing that with your hair? No. You ever thought of doing that with your shirt? No. Ever thought of doing that with your chest hair? Yeah. Okay. Haleth, son of Hama. Is that all you needed me for? Yep, that’s it. What about the thing that you wanted to give me? Or was that it? I didn’t wanna give you anything. That was it? You made a big deal about this. Haleth, son of Hama. Last time we talked, you said next time you’re out here. You did say you were gonna give him, you need to come. What the heck? I’m giving you the gift of acknowledging– Of an insult? Does it not look just like him? I mean. I think you should give him the shirt off your back. Yeah, that’s what you should do. Yeah, you can get one of these at mythical.com. What? Yeah. Go ahead, let’s hear more. Full on friendship tee. Full on friendship. This is an actual, this is actually us. An actual picture. Back when we were friends. Yeah, back into Two Towers days. Great movie. My favorite of the trilogy. Really? Yep. That’s a pretty universally-known wrong opinion. Yeah. Well, it’s mostly because of you. Oh, well, thank you. Haleth, son of Hama. All right. Let’s see, let’s hear another one. Oh, that was a great t-shirt promo. Yeah, it makes me want one. If you like this shirt, mythical.com. Yeah, you knew that already. I think more people would buy it if you took it off and gave it to me. I agree. I don’t know why I do that though. I don’t know why I would do that. And I wouldn’t have a shirt on. And then I would be naked. Let’s see another one. At Ryan_Madigan. “My roommate in college ate all my Little Debbie’s Swiss cake rolls while I was in class. When I asked him where they were, he laughed and said, “Yo, I maxed those out.” While at Walmart a few days later, I asked if he was going to buy more and he said, “Nah, they aren’t my favorite.” Yeah, I think you got. I just think you gotta be like, “Hey, would you mind buying, replacing my stash?” You know? It’s like– Like now? Well, let’s just be realistic here. At the time, at the time. You gotta defend yourself. If all these were in the past, then I think we’re all in move-on mode, right? But let’s just say that this is– Last week. This just happened. Yeah. I think that in that case, you can’t let this slide because if a roommate gets away with something like this, the next thing you know– They’re sleeping with your girlfriend. Girlfriend, exactly. It always starts with a Swiss cake roll. Then it goes on to your Swiss girlfriend. They aren’t my favorite. I mean, she was okay. You can have her back. I realize in this scenario, it sounds very misogynistic and it sounds like we’re equating a woman with a Swiss cake roll as if she would have no will of her own. That was just for the sake of analogy and how bad things could get. In reality, your Swiss girlfriend would probably just say, “No, I’m not interested.” But it does happen all the time. It does happen all the time. So. Well, here’s the thing. He asked– Takes two to tango. He said, “I asked if he was going to buy more.” So he did. He tried to face it and gave his roommate the opportunity. Right, but then it just seems like the response, “Nah, they aren’t my favorite.” It’s kind of just kind of a dumb person. You gotta really spell it out for him. Do you? What I’m asking you is to reimburse me for my Swiss cake rolls, bud. Right, right. At Sam_Therin, “My best friend once threw a dart in my foot. That’s not the worst of it. He still has that dart from years ago, keeps it in a memorabilia box. He’s still my best friend, but I worry he’s biding his time to do it again. I’m onto you, Tim.” I feel like this is up to you and you’re the one who’s gotten very close to hurting someone with a dart. Well, was it his dart? I mean, he owned a dart, it hit you in the foot. What’s he supposed to do? Throw the dart away? It’s still his dart. I mean, if I threw a dart at you and it hit you in the foot, I’d probably keep it in a memorabilia box. You’re so kind of sweet about it. Yeah, I can’t hold that against him. Yeah, I like it. So I think you gotta move on, just accept it. Yeah. They like you, Tim. Just move on. Yeah. At Dancer_A, “My sister told me that pierogies were made with sheep penis when I was like six and I just believed that until college when someone told me ‘No, that’s crazy.’ Still haven’t eaten one and I’m 28, my brain won’t allow it.” Oh, man, you ruined pierogies. Well, they are sheep penises. You can’t move on. That’s the thing, they are made with sheep penis. Well, they’re still good. Yeah. I don’t know what this means, but I’m saying that’s a travesty. Yeah, yeah. You think they should deal with it. I think you should move on and begin to enjoy pierogies, whatever that means. I’d like to get one right now. Maximum friendship levels achieved. The full-on friendship tee is available for you and your bestie now at mythical.com.
