Welcome to Good Mythical More. Let’s learn some Greek phrases. Maybe we can guess what they mean. The loser is gonna have to go full Greece. Go full Greek. Full Greece. Grease and Greek, get fully greasy. Greased up. But first, let’s play Ready, Pet, Go! We look at a picture of a pet Uh huh! that you have submitted under the hashtag #GMMReadyPetGo, and then we name your pet. This one is from Yes Please. That’s the name of the person. Yes, please. Is that taxidermy? Man, look at the tail coming off of that thing. That cat. Why does that cat look like taxidermy? I’m going with Lucifer. I guess ’cause it’s a photo, of a cat. Lucifer, Lucifer. And I will take no other answers. Like, the hair on that cat. It looks like a hairless cat, with hair accidentally. Yeah. It’s like a hairless cat rolled in some glue, and then rolled in some cat hair. Or just rolled in Rogaine. Yeah, ’cause the forearms are kind of scantly clad. I think this is Sugar. Mittens. Okay. Oh, Mittens! I’m sure Mittens is beautiful to you. I think Mittens is beautiful, but Mittens does look like a hairless cat that rolled in hair. Mittens has got got a creep factor, just in this one photo. But we love you, Mittens. Have you seen, I’ve seen a couple, did you know that cats can like, lose parts of their tail, just like, parts of their tail will just like die. Like the end part? Yeah. Is it, what? And then it just like, either like falls off, or has to be amputated off. No. It doesn’t grow back, like a lizard? No. And is that how you tell how old they are? Yeah, every year a cat loses one little part of its tail. Ring, loses a ring. You were saying that this is something that people are showing on TikTok? Yeah, I didn’t wanna say, “Have you seen on TikTok?” ‘Cause I know I say that all the time, but yeah, it’s a couple of TikToks I’ve seen. This one, What about babies who don’t like to touch grass? I’ve not seen that. That’s a thing? Yeah. Babies apparently don’t like to touch grass. Well, I thought that was dogs that don’t like to touch grass. Babies. But also babies? What about baby dogs? Hang a barefooted baby, like suspend them over some grass, and the legs will go out like this. We gotta get some babies in here and experiment. That’s better than seeing a cat’s tail fall off. I’ll tell you that. Yeah, there’s this one where they had it, they thought that they could like reattach it, and that it would be okay, but then the mom came back into the, like the vet reattached it. But then the mom came into the room one day and just like, part of it was just like, you know, a couple feet away from the cat. Can you imagine how terrifying that would be? No. And I don’t need to, I’m not gonna have the privilege of imagining. Yeah, I tried to change the subject. You went back to it. Anyway. Remember babies, cute babies. Grab an egg, and shave it. This is a Greek saying? And what does it mean? That means like, do the impossible. It’s just like crap in one hand, and wish in the other, in America. It’s like, well, grab an egg and shave it, bro. So you’re saying “good luck with that?” “Do the impossible” is the answer. Like the very first thing you said. Yes, well, you know what? I believe the, the impossible is, Wow. truly possible. So I This is have to be punished, I guess. used when faced with a problem that has no solution, or with an impossible task, such as giving an egg a haircut. Yeah, grab an egg and shave it, man. All right, so I have to say this in Greek. Is that your Russian Greek? means, used when faced with a problem that has no solution, or something that Stevie already told us. Yeah, I was about to say, when is he gonna realize he’s just saying what Stevie just did? All right, so that’s pretty good. Yeah, yeah. Shave an egg. Go see if the boats are moving. Go see if the boats are moving. This has something to do with wind. This is like, do anything but be with me. Like, get away from me. It’s like I’m sending you on a pointless errand. Boats are always moving, even when they’re parked. I think this is like, I think it’s pretty literal. I think it comes from, it’s like a weather check. It’s when you’re like, trying to figure out, what are the plans for the day? So basically, Yeah. See if the boats are moving. ‘ Cause the boats are always right there in front of your face in Greece. Checking on the weather. Checking on the weather. Link, one of the things you said was close, because it’s like, the equivalent of like, “go jump in a lake.” Like go away, so you said like, get away from me. So that’s kind of, So it is a dismissive thing. Yeah. What it is. Go jump in a lake. That’s good, right? That’s exactly what it sounds like, if someone is fluent. Pig anus? Pig anus. Hmm. All right, let’s do another. By the devil’s mother. By the devil’s mother. This is like a swear, I swear by the devil’s mother. Who is the devil’s mother? It’s like a demonic Mary? Well, in some traditions, Jesus and the devil are brothers. That, that would make Mary the mom. But I mean, that’s not in our tradition. By the devil’s mother. The devil is a motherless angel. Lucifer, the same name as that cat we saw earlier. By the devil’s mother. Angels don’t have parents? They just spawn? They’re asexual, and they don’t reproduce. And are they eternal? So like angels, they were created, but there’s a certain set of them? I don’t know, I just believe there are angels among us, sent down to us from, Somewhere up above. Somewhere up above. What are the rest of that list? They come to you and me? They come to you and me, In our darkest hour. In our darkest hour? Do they show us how to live? They show us how to live. Do they teach us how to give? They teach us how to give. And something with the light of love? And lead us with the light of love. Okay. And I believe that by the devil’s mother. May the mythical mother beast live on. I believe that by the devil’s mother. By the devil’s mother is a swear. Yeah. This is how serious I am, by the devil’s mother. Oh, you’re agreeing with me? I said it before you, before any of our talk. I said it was a swear. Oh, then I’ll go a different direction. I’ll say by the devil’s mother is like a near miss. It’s not the devil’s mother, it’s just by it. A near miss. Okay, You’re on the right track, that it is a location. Me? Yeah, this is just above Hades. This is down below. Yeah, you go by the devil’s mother. It’s kind of telling you off, but not, you’re not going full hell, you’re going like, purgatory. No, it’s “that’s really far away.” Oh. It’s by the devil’s mother. So I was a little closer than you. She’s been out for a long time. Where do you live? By the devil’s mother. Oh, a long ways away. Yeah, they do that. They do that, that’s part of, That’s part of Greek. That’s really far away. I love the way the Greek language looks, though. Just the Greek alphabet. It all kind of, if you squint, it almost looks like a solid line of ink. It also just looks like this is every single different version of COVID, just. COVID? Alpha, delta. Oh, oh, oh. Omicron. I get it. It’s all the Greek alphabet. I ate a door. I ate a door. Well, that’s impossible, for most of us. Why aren’t you here on time? I ate a door. This is when something goes really bad. Like I fell on my face, it was a complete disaster. I ate a door. I bit it hard. I think you’re on the right track, but I’m gonna be more specific and say, I think it’s when you encounter an impasse, like, I can no longer proceed. Like I’ve encountered something that stopped me in my tracks. I was learning Greek online, but I ate a door. Yeah. I agree with my first part, which is it’s when something bad happens. It’s rejection, a door was closed in my face. Oh, I like that. Yeah, me too. You know when when a door slams in your face, a window opens. Yep. That’s what they say. That’s what the saying is. When a door closes, a window opens. Well, I don’t jump through windows every day of the week. Why are you telling me this? You’re telling me this to make me feel better? I just got rejected. It’s like, why not when one door closes, another opens? Hold on, is that it? That is the saying. Oh. I agree with that. I thought this was a bit. Oh, well, who says, when one door closes, a window opens? No one, till you just said it. Well, I think that’s what I’ve been saying. Well, but it is a good thing. I mean, like when it, I think it’s when another door, when one door closes, another door opens. And if that door closes before you go through it, a window opens. And if the window closes, well, you might as well just give up. I believe that’s the saying. So if three doors close, if two doors and one window close, you lie down and go to sleep. Okay. Proverbally, proverbrially. All right. Proverbially. Quick shout out to our Amazon store. Shout out. Go to amazon.com/mythical, check out what we got over there.

I don’t mean, neither one of us really won or lost, but. That’s “ate a door,” a door was closed in my face. A “porta” is a door. “Porta.” And if “faga” is eat, “faga,” “porta.” All right, I’m skipping the next one. So remove the next card. Who cares about it, that one sucked. That one, It made my balls swollen. It made my balls swollen? Wow, this is something that people just say, that their balls are swollen, over there? My balls are so swole right now. When have my balls been swollen? Well, I guess when we had the procedure. But after a vasectomy, your balls are swollen. Our balls swell. After you ride a horse for a really long time. I haven’t done that for long enough to make my balls swell. I think this is when you’ve just been through the ringer, man. This is when you’ve been through something that, Balls. you just, it was really tough, man. How was your summer? Well, it made my balls swollen. Kinda like, I barely got through, I barely got through it. How’d your presentation go? It wracked my balls. It made my balls swollen, man. That’s gotta be it. But now I gotta come up with another answer. Why else would Well, that was pretty vague. your balls be swollen? I think over there, this is a sign of enticement. So I think this is when you’re aroused. Yeah. You think, around the Mediterranean, when you’re aroused, your balls swell up? Get erect, yeah. Your balls get erect. ‘Cause usually, the balls kind of, they kind of retreat, when you’re ready to go. They, I think, they don’t retreat. They’re not hiding. They’re rising up to fire. It’s kind of like, putting it into the chamber. Kind of like, That’s what your balls are doing. Things are getting taught, So it’s not, things aren’t swinging around during the action. Is that why? You don’t want them swinging around, man. No, I don’t. But I don’t think, I think it’s probably both. I think we’re, I think you’re great, and I’m great. Right. We’re both great. You’re supposed to say that with me. I think you’re both answering the question that’s not being asked right now. Well, I stick by my answer. It was a hard summer, my balls were swollen. I gave my answer. Arousal. No. It’s, “it annoyed me.” It made by my balls swollen, it annoyed me. Annoyances don’t make your ball swell. But, We can say this in unison. If your balls swell, it would be annoying. I think that’s the point. We’re Italian all of a sudden. I didn’t like that one, it annoyed, that annoys me. It makes my balls swell up. Swelled my balls up. You’ve made my life a roller skate. You’ve made my life a roller skate. You’ve complicated things for me. Like, there’s no stability at this point. Like just yesterday, you know, before the summer of the swollen balls, My life, I felt, was firmly planted, and I was sure-footed. And you made my life a roller skate. That seems like it should be it, but if it weren’t, it’d probably be, I’m directionless, I’m aimless. I don’t know where I’m going. This is future-oriented. Okay, I think you’re both correct. So it’s when someone has turned your life upside down, or if something’s made your life difficult, resulting in nothing going according to plan. Okay, well I’ll give it to you. You made my life a roller skate. The only part I’m confident in is “patini.” Zoe Patini like, sounds like the next big actress. Zoe Patini. Zoe Patini, what are you wearing? Nothing. Whoa! My balls are swollen with your questions. Yes. And lastly, My balls are too swollen to wear anything these days. Should I sniff my nails? Oh, okay. This is like, pinch yourself in a dream. Really? Yeah, this is, that’s a good guess. This is like, Should I sniff my nails? Life is so good right now. Should I sniff my nails and make sure, just to bring me back down, to remind me that I’m just a person with fingers? But when you sniff your nails, they don’t stink. Unless you’re like, Unless your balls are swollen. I don’t know, what profession do your nails stink? Like if you’re, Manicurist. What? Why? No, if you get a manicure, your fingers will smell like nail polish. I think it might be like a vet. Somebody who’s digging, digging. In organic materials. Yeah, yeah. This is a farm term. Should I sniff my nails? It’s like, should I, so you’re saying, come back to reality. Where have your fingers been? Should I sniff my nails, and find out? Should I sniff my nails? Yeah, I think this is about grounding. You’re stealing all the obvious answers. Well, I’m sorry. Then I gotta come up with like, the less obvious one. Sniff your nails. What else could that be? I don’t think I’m right, by the way. I’ve never seen anybody sniff their nails. That’s like something people don’t do. Maybe this means, should I do the thing that people don’t do? If you put your finger in your belly button, yeah, you’re gonna sniff it. Like, should you sniff your nail clippings? Okay, yeah. No, you shouldn’t. That’s been done. Trust me. But actually that might be what it’s talking about. Should I sniff my nails? Maybe this is, this is already bad, should I make it worse? Okay, I like that guess. But no. Used when you’re asked a question that you would have no way of knowing the answer to, as if to say, how am I supposed to know? [Rhett and Stevie] Should I sniff my nails? You want me to sniff my nails? Do you want me to do something else that won’t accomplish anything? I think that’s it. Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, I think that’s it. So I was actually closer in my rationale, ’cause I was like, nobody does this. Yes, yes, yes. Yes. I think I’m saying that exactly the way that you’re supposed to. Like picture me, 3,000 years ago, in a toga, just walking through the court. Yes. Trying to get people to gather around me. And once they do, I say, They’d be like, oh, this guy doesn’t know anything. Let’s go get some meatballs. Because all I’m saying is, how am I supposed to know? Need mythical merch in a hurry?
