Welcome to Good Mythical More. There’s this trend where moms can’t help but decorate their house with things that say things. When you say trend, do you mean like, I mean, this is a pretty long trend. It’s really exploded in the past, I would say five years. Okay. Interesting. I would call that a trend and it’s not a good one. Okay. We’re gonna rank all the ones that we could find. But first, let’s play Who You Talkin’ About. We’re gonna read a comment that was made by one of you about one of us. Who was it about? This one’s from Jan96106. Says, blank really has great hip motion going on in his dancing. He could star in a Latin dance movie. He rivals Carmen Miranda. This has to be you since I tend to not move my hips while dancing in fear of, Dislocating something? Dislocation. Oh goodness. Okay. Disc damage furthering. Let’s say it’s me. My hips don’t lie. Yeah. I think that was me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you got that. You got the hip motion. Hey, that was pretty impressive. That was Shakira like. What? Don’t ruin Shakira for me. Every time you look at Shakira’s backside, I want you to think of me. Okay. First of all, I’m interested. The first thing I wanna talk about is- Is this? You feel like this is a last five years trend? To me, this is like, last five decades trend. Has it picked up? Yeah. It’s picked up, dude. Well now because like, to me, it includes the whole like, you’re in a kitchen and the wall just says eat, you know? Yeah. I mean, this is within the last decade and I thought it was like a country chic, like a shabby chic thing. But like, when I go back home… It’s different design types, you know? I mean, if you go into like a Hobby Lobby or something, they sell just reams of this crap. But then if you go into, well, yeah. When I go back home and I go into people’s homes, they have a lot of stuff written, hunging on the walls. Hunging on the walls. And then written on the walls too. Like actually like, I don’t know if it’s stickers or what, but like an ornate font. You also stay at a lot of Airbnbs and Airbnbs, And they do that a lot back home. Tend to do these like well, we could put a picture of us up, which is creepy, or we can put a sign up that means everything about all moms. I just wanna drink wine and pet my dog. That’s simultaneously sad and let’s see, what else is it? Sad. Well, so okay. But at least it’s funny. It’s funny. Yeah that’s what I was gonna say. Like, the whole like live, laugh, love situation like, Yes, yes! Like, that was moms and then other moms were like, that’s silly. I’m gonna make fun of that ’cause that’s stupid. And then the things they did to make fun of that are now also stupid. It’s like an evolution of stupidity, you know? Okay. So we’re ranking these against other ones? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here’s another one. Yeah. And which one’s more mom? Yeah. To the world, you are a mom. Go ahead, Stevie. Well, I don’t know. The definition of like, what makes something more mom is subjective. That’s the thing. Because this one is ironically funny, making fun of the trend. Well we’re ranking ’em best to worst. Or more momish. And then they’ve… We have to just decide on a metric, here. I think let’s go best to worst, assuming they are all momish. But is best like, funniest and like something you have? Dumbest. Or dumbest, so dumbest to least dumb. So actually worst. Yeah. We’re trying to rank the worst of the worst. Well, this one is worse than this one because this one is trying to be funny at least and this one is, to the world you are a mom, to our family you are the world with hearts? So this is a mother’s day gift. And then mom puts it up and be like, yep. That’s about me. I am the mom that is being talked about in that painting. Yeah, painting. This is not painted. Do your moms have this type of stuff? Minimal, minimal. Minimal because when they decorated their homes, it was before that really took hold. My mom, it doesn’t really differ there. My mom has updated her, I mean, you know, my parents moved into a new house, I don’t know, it may have been seven, eight years. Trend. They redecorated, but there’s very little of this stuff. I mean, I’m sure there’s a couple of little things. Hmm. But nothing like this. It’s more like, oh, there’s a Bible verse there, you know what I’m saying? All right, so we’re saying this one is worse. This one’s funny. It’s not as bad. Oh gosh, this whole thing here. Is that a railroad track? Powerful words for the day. Believe in yourself. Stay strong. Never give up. Be grateful. Work hard. Stay humble. Be kind. Keep smiling! I don’t know what this says about me, but I have a like, philosophical antagonism, Yeah. Towards motivational messages anywhere in a place that you are. I don’t know what it is but to me, I’m just being completely vulnerable here, when I see somebody who has something in their house that says, believe in yourself, I’m just like, you don’t need a sign to believe in yourself. Like it’s like, just believe in yourself. You don’t need a sign to believe in yourself. It just feels like a crutch. Or if you just get confused and you lack so much focus that you’re like, ah, it’s like, what am I supposed to stay today? Am I supposed to stay weak? This is too many. Am I supposed to stay strong? Eight things to remember? Oh, stay strong. And first of all, it’s not eight powerful words. That’s very frustrating to me. It’s eight powerful phrases. Eight powerful words, look at that. And I don’t believe anybody can remember eight phrases. It might be like, what if it was seven phrases for the week? And it had Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Yeah I mean, I don’t even believe in bumper stickers. This sucks. This is the worst by far and it’s got way too much information. It’s squirrly, it takes up a lot of wall space. It’s hard to understand. It’s misrepresenting what a word is. Let’s see what this is. The secret ingredient is always love and butter. That’s a joke. Okay. I kinda like that. That’s a joke right there. I don’t have any, in fact, I’m taking that one home. Put this in the kitchen, man. Putting it right in the kitchen. The secret ingredient always love and butter. I would love for you to take that home and then secretly film Jessie’s reaction. Just put it up without asking? Yeah. Jessie does not like words. She does not like words up in the house. Yeah words are bad, guys. Don’t do it. Don’t do that. I mean, here’s the thing. It’s creeping from the parent generation into the next generation. There’s people who are starting their own families and they’re putting words on their walls. Don’t do it. But what about- Please take ’em down. But what about the people who, this is what they do for a living is they make words for the house? You thinking they gotta get a new job? I don’t care what they do as long as they stop. All right if you’re making words for the house, we’re asking you to kindly stop. The thing about it is, you hang it up, you don’t keep reading it. That’s why this is so dumb. It’s like, this is supposed to like help you but like, after this has been up a couple of weeks in your own house, you never look at it again. It’s like a smell that has just become part of the house. Right, and then people who visit might read it but then they’re like. Well this is a home where everyone believes in themselves. It’s strong. They never give up. They’re grateful. They work hard. They’re humble. They’re kind, and they keep smiling. That’s a lot of things I can remember about these people. I mean, the good thing about this one is that I know where it’s supposed to go and I know that it’s self deprecating, but also, there’s a sweetness to it. Yeah. So it’s the best so far. Oh, you think it’s better than this one? I just wanna drink wine and pet my dog? This is my favorite. Those are things I want to do. I feel like this is too self-aware and I like love and butter, personally. This is too self-aware. Yeah it’s like, I don’t know. So maybe that means that it is technically better, but I didn’t laugh at this. I laughed at the butter one. Okay. You laughed at that? Maybe it was my delivery. Yeah, y’all think that’s hilarious. Stevie, the secret ingredient is always love and butter? Butter! Oh my goodness. I also like the orientation. Can I give you an orientation? Get the, Wow. Whoa! How shiny. The mythical T. Oh, shoot.

This is only available this week, am I right, Stevie? It’s only this week. You are right. Yep. So get on it. What else we got, Lucas? Okay. Alexa, do the dishes. Okay. All right, here we go now! This is a juxtaposition of like, technology and anti-technology. If you went in someone’s home and you saw this, now first of all, if you went into your mom’s house, okay, you went back home, you go into your mom’s house, she has Alexa do the dishes up in the kitchen, what are you thinking? Does my mom know what this joke is about? It’s probably the first thing. Does she know what Alexa is? And then after that. I don’t know. Yeah, I don’t know if she would actually. Right. I think she would, but only barely. If you said mom, if I ask my mom, mom, what is this, what’s funny about this sign, I don’t know, there’s a 50, 50 chance. Yeah. That I’m gonna get back, well Alexa, isn’t that the Amazon thing? Alexa, do the dishes. I mean, this one’s just so bad. ‘Cause it’s trying to be funny, but it’s not. It’s not working. The intersection between people who put words up in their house and someone who, I don’t know. Hold on, hold on, hold on. It’s like, it narrows the field of like, the audience. The user for this is pretty narrow. This is why I don’t think it goes over here. I think that if it’s sincere and you’re literally looking to these signs for motivation, Okay. And for how you should feel about the world, you’re in the wrong. This is at least making fun of the trend. So to me, it’s not nearly as bad as these two. I mean, wherever you wanna put it on that side, but. But it’s still pretty bad. Put it right back there. I mean, okay. I’m trying to put myself in the head space of the owners of the- This one’s sweet. Yeah, that’s bad. And it’s a gift. So you really can’t fault someone for putting up a gift. Yeah, I can. Yeah. I agree. Those are bad. That’s what I’m saying. No, but… Alexa’s worse in my opinion. Oh. I strongly disagree with that. I strongly disagree with it as well. Just because it is a joke doesn’t mean that it works. First of all, Alexa, you don’t communicate with Alexa using a sign. That’s the joke, bro. No. That is part of the joke. Okay, but you gotta assume that this is all the same mom, okay? Same age, you know, same location. This is a 50 year old, which is not much older than us, 50 year old mom in Boise, Idaho. Okay. Okay? It’s the same woman that has all of these signs. And so you have to judge each one and I think that you gotta go by, who do you want to spend time with the least based on the sign that they have up there. This is the person I would wanna spend time with the least. What’s the cringiest? This one. Yes. This is second cringiest. I don’t think that one’s the second cringiest because it’s a gift and they probably felt guilted to putting it up. But this person feels- And I can’t hold it against him. This might be a bad joke, but it’s of the times and it’s kinda like, oh, this might be a little spunky mom trying to be funny about Alexa and modern technology. Stevie, am I right or wrong? What do you think? There is no right or wrong. I’m willing to move the butter one. Link brought up a good point which we have not heard yet about being gifted something. But I don’t know. ‘Cause you don’t buy that for yourself. I don’t know if that’s a valid, like, contextual argument to this situation. I do feel like the last three, the three towards link are in the same group, right? They’re all like, I’m trying to be funny, you know, with this thing, versus the two on the left are like, taking the trend seriously, That’s my demarcation. I think is dumber. Right, except for that exception, which I have explained. I’m not gonna keep explaining myself. But this is fine. We’re in basic agreement at this point. Yeah. This shouldn’t be the thing that tears us apart. No, no. Because we agree. We’re being tested on this. Ultimately, we agree we both hate this. Retirement is when you stop, what? Living at work and begin working at living. Where does this go? Congratulations to you on your retirement. So see, this is a gift. Yeah. But this is a 50 year old mom who’s retired. Like a piece of wood, like, congratulations on retiring. Here’s this wood. When you stop living at work and begin working at living. I appreciate the size of this one. You know what I’m saying? It is the smallest. It could get lost. It’s kinda the dimensions of a brick. And let us not forget that is an option. Throw it through a window. Let us not forget that there’s a room somewhere in the world right now, multiple rooms where this is hanging up. We agree that’s the worst. I’m gonna defend this a little bit. Okay. When you’re making a transition from working to retirement, it’s a realignment of your values, your mindset and your habits and like it or not, there’s a certain point where you need external reminders of who you are now and what you’re going after. And I think this could actually be helpful for somebody in their first year of retirement. I agree with you. If someone said this to me versus handing me a sign, I’d be like, I’m gonna remember that. I’m gonna start. Well, you know. I’m gonna stop living at work and I’m gonna begin working at living. I agree but you think when I retire and you tell me that I’m gonna be able to remember it? No, for a moment. I need it written down. This is the best one. It’s small and I believe that it’s actually the only piece of advice that’s actually worth taking that’s up here. Well, let’s take these advice, but let’s not take it from a sign. Is that all of them? Oh crap, we got one more? Yes. The best one? Okay. Read that, Rhett. Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways. Chocolate wine! What? What? Yeah. I didn’t know where this was going. Hold on. Talking about dying all of a sudden. I got a little bit off. Hold on. Turn to chocolate wine. Chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming woo hoo what a ride! This is like, a little sexual. But also morbid. This is like, you’re dying. Like, wear it out. Totally worn out. Thoroughly used up. Woo! This is what I’m gonna say to you on the day you retire. So it is a retirement thing, but it’s in stark contrast to this one, you know? But it gets specific. I was excited about chocolate wine. I feel like what we’ve learned today is that Link, you might become a sign guy. Yeah, right. It’s like, you’re kinda like, I could totally see this happening to you. Show up one day, he’s just got nothing but words. I just loved too many people who are buried in these signs. Well, where does this one fall? I just mean they’re all over the house. You know what? I kind of agree with the sentiment. It’s too many words, but I like the idea of sliding into death with wine in one hand and chocolate in the other. It’s so big, though. Completely worn out. But it’s so big that it’s definitely on this side. I think it’s worse than Alexa. How many times are you gonna walk through your house and read this? If I had it, I’d probably read it every day. Just kinda like, chocolate wine! Yeah. That chocolate wine would get me every time. All right here, you can have this one. Okay. And give me this one when I retire.
