People are using AI to do all types of things, especially Chat GPT, to like spit out all types of things. Today we’re gonna see if it can spit out answers to your requests for advice and then compare it to the advice that we’re gonna give, which will clearly be superior. But first we’re going to guess the definition of a word. Welcome to “Good Mythical More”. Without the help of Chat GPT or any AI. Okay. Today’s word is tittynope. Yes, it is the word. T- is there three ts or just? It’s titty and then nope, but it’s all one word. T-I-T-T-Y-N-O-P-E. Okay. I think this is when you’re in that situation- Tittynope. and you’re looking one way and then you turn around and you accidentally brush up against someone’s breast but then you realize that you didn’t, you just hit their shoulder or hit like some place- Elbow. that’s on their body. Elbow. And it wasn’t, that’s a tittynope. You thought maybe it was, but nope, it’s not. I would know that wasn’t a titty if you did that. Tittynope. Yeah. This is a term- Oh, you don’t agree with me. Used- Shocking. It’s actually what was originally called a cat in tic-tac-toe, but now it’s referred to as a tittynope. When you get three across? No, it’s when nobody wins. I thought we just, what’d you call it? A tittynope. But what’d you call it before that? A cat. Oh, you know what, it’s been like since grade school that I heard anybody say that. I would’ve just called it a draw. That’s how- Isn’t it called a cat? That’s how out of touch I am. Yeah. Yeah. You draw a c over it. You draw a c over it. I’ve heard somebody refer to it as that. So what is it? Twinklefingies is like, “Um, ah. I need to Photoshop it.” “I guess I gotta think of the definition.” Sorry. We got a new system down here. You know, it’s actually ultimately better. It refers to a small quantity of anything left over. So the broccoli you left uneaten on your plate is a tittynope of the meal. And the dregs of tea are also a tittynope. And also- So I’ve been eating the tittynopes off of all of my family members’ plates. Morgan And I both swear we’ve talked about tittynope before. Just, maybe it just seems like something that we would have. It’s who we all have. It’s who we all have. Checks that. Okay. All right, so let’s see if Chat GPT can keep up with our advice giving skills. Okay. Ask us anything. We are taking mythical beasts’ questions, starting with one from @Jongrop. How do I start feeling okay about being single forever? Well, how do you feel okay about being single forever? See it’s like, is that what you should do? I guess that’s what you want to do. Well, the question is how can he feel okay? It sounds like he is assuming he’s gonna be single forever and he wants to feel okay. Just list out all the things that are better because you’re single and just only focus on those things. List out some things that would be better if you were in a relationship and then ball that up and burn it. You know what, that’s a great- Symbolically. That’s great. So like, what’s all the things that you can do when you’re single? You can only buy one ticket to a movie. Yep. It’s half price. That’s awesome. Of two. You can go to dinner and you can, you don’t have to feel guilty for not talking. Yeah, you can go- ‘Cause there’s no one to talk to. You can go on a walk, you can- Wait, do you go out to dinner and you’re like, “Christy, I don’t wanna talk”. All the time. No, no. Sometimes- I’ve been on a double date with them and they don’t say a word. And I feel bad about it. Yeah, yeah. Because I don’t wanna be that couple out at dinner that’s like, “Oh, look at that couple. They didn’t even talk to each other.” Yeah. Yeah, but that couple can listen to all the other couples, which is more fun thing to do. Oh, is that what y’all do? Well, it depends. See, y’all don’t talk to each other. It depends on what else is going on. You don’t talk to each other. We talk to each other- And you feel bad about it. constantly. But we also never go out, so. Well, here’s one thing you can do. You can walk places and not have your partner complain that you’re walking too fast because your legs are so long. You set the pace. “My legs are half as long as yours.” “Your step is twice as long as mine.” “No, you’re like an exceptionally slow walker.” “No, you’re an exceptionally fast walker.” That’ll never happen if you stay single. That’ll never happen. Her leg’s half as long but it does still have a knee in middle. Her? What do you think? I’m just hypothetical. Oh, yeah. It’s a hypothetical. What do you mean her? This hypothetical person. I’m not talking about any person in particular. There’s a knee in the middle of that leg still. Yeah, right. When you said it was half as big, it made me think there wasn’t a knee. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, it’s still- You’re really gonna fall behind if you’re just It’s still a leg. It’s still a full leg. Okay, is that the completion of your advice? That’s it, that’s it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See how Chat GPT. Lists burning. So we used Chat GPT for this, all of our answers here. And there’s a lengthy response but then there’s also like a little bit of a summary. I’m going with the summary. Give us the summary. “Feeling okay about being single forever can be a challenging journey. But here are some steps you can take to start feeling more comfortable and content. One, accept your situation. Two, focus on the positives. Three, build a strong support system.” Okay. Out of what? “Pursue personal growth.” How about friends? Not people. “Five, reframe your thoughts.” Just ’cause you’re single doesn’t mean you don’t have friends and family. That’s a completely different thing, man. Yep, they are. That’s true. I’m sorry. Hey, I think that’s a great five point system. That was kind of, the strongest points of their argument- Were our points. were our points. And we gave examples, hypotheticals. You know, not about anybody specifically. So I think we win that one. One point for Team R&L. Ask us another one. Well, I was trying to look through the points and see which one was like grow longer legs, but I don’t see that one. Yep. Okay, this is from @Kctie934. Sometimes people will tweet at me and go “You said my name right in “More”. Thank you.” And then it puts a lot of pressure on me. And then this episode I think I’m gonna get everyone’s name incorrect. So you can tweet at me to tell me I got them incorrect too. Well, I mean, are they a bot? Their name has a number in it. Well, and to clarify, is that an at symbol? Yeah, yeah. Okay. I’m scared of a squirrel. Of course you are. I’m scared of a squirrel- Period. That’s it. Jumping out of a tree- What do I do now? And onto my head- Yep. When I walk under them. How can I change this? Well. Hey, one time a squirrel jumped on me, guys. No. I was at, I was in Williamsburg, Virginia, and I was getting one of those hoops, those wooden hoops that the kids used to hit down the street with a stick. Yep. Out of a old wooden shack. Yeah, squirrel thought it was a nut. And a squirrel jumped on me. It’s like, “That woman’s rolling the largest nut I’ve ever seen down the road.” Thought what was a nut? The giant hoop? Yeah, it was a circle nut. Yeah. What did the squirrel do after it jumped on you? Cling? I closed my eyes really tight, so I don’t know. If you want something to go away, highly recommend just closing your eyes. I’m not here anymore. You can’t be on me. Well, one time Shepherd was just sitting in the front yard of our home and a squirrel just came up and got in his lap. He’s like a nature boy. I was thinking he was gonna start a TikTok and do all that stuff where you just like interact with animals, but never happened again. I almost learned something about squirrels on TikTok and I forgot what it was. Maybe I can remember it. Almost learned something about squirrels on TikTok. There’s something about squirrels that I wanted to remember and I’ve forgotten. You were watching a Squirrel Facts video and decided that you didn’t want to finish it, so you almost learned something. Nah, skip. No. There’s something about squirrels that was really cool and it would be perfect to talk about it right now, but I can’t remember what it is. This is my advice for you if you believe that a squirrel may jump on your head. I would begin taking some sort of class, maybe a karate class, some sort of class where there’s, you know, where you can learn how to move quickly. And the moment that the squirrel goes- Industrial dancing. Goes for your head, you just like, if you do that, it’ll land right in the cradle. And then you, now you’ve got a squirrel in your hand which is a situation in which you have the power. You could pass it to another person, you could throw it back into the tree. There’s lots of things you could do, but. You can make it talk for you. So if you take a, that’s one of the first things I learned in karate. “Order me a latte”. You remember karate taught by Ken Crow? Yeah. And I remember that. And just a little bit higher and there you go. That’s a squirrel catcher. That’s what you’ve got right there. It was something that if you do it, it’s a motion that you make and squirrels will come to you. Yeah, this. No, there was, that’s what the TikTok was. Oh. If you do something Oh my gosh, I do know what you’re talking about. The squirrels will come to you like to Shepherd. That’s what Shepherd was doing. It’s not real. That’s why you didn’t get to the end of it. It’s like a motion. That’s why you didn’t learn anything. It was a joke TikTok. Oh, it’s a joke. Oh, it wasn’t that. Yeah, if you take an industrial dance class, you’ll catch lots of squirrels. I think that’s really where my advice is gonna stop. Well, I don’t have any advice, but I’m pretty happy that I remembered almost what I almost learned from TikTok that turned out to be fake. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So what does Chat GPT say? Karate? “It’s understandable.” Well, first of all. Right. “To feel scared about the possibility of a squirrel jumping out of a tree and onto your head. But it’s important to remember that this is a very unlikely scenario. To help ease your fear, here’s some things you can try.” Yeah, ’cause what kind of jerk would that happen to? “Educate yourself. Learn more about squirrels.” Educate yourself to the fact that this is not gonna happen ever. “Two, practice exposure therapy. Gradual exposure to squirrels in trees can help you become more comfortable around them.” Yeah. Well, get somebody who can catch a squirrel and have them rub it on your head and see nothing, nothing’s happening. See that? Of course. Should I make an exposure joke at this point? No. Yeah, don’t expose yourself to squirrels at the park. When I’m naked in my house, my dogs run away. Okay. I decided not to go for the exposure joke, but just to share a little truth. Yeah, thank you for that nugget. Jasper follows me everywhere until I get naked then he’s like, “I’m out”. He’s like, “I’m outta here.” I haven’t earned that. You haven’t earned what? I mean, I haven’t done anything to him while naked that makes him want to run. That’s all I was saying. Well, I wasn’t planning on talking about this, but now that you bring it up. Wait, I didn’t finish. Well, it’s still a little sidebar. So typically, Barbara learned really early on when mommy and daddy are having mommy and daddy time, that she would go into her crate. Then we got a bigger, like softer crate for her and Sean. Sean’s stupid, I think we’ve established that, right? And also he has the ability to get out of things. And so, he ruined that crate and there was a window of no crate. In fact, we’re kind of in the window of no crate right now. And the other night, it was mommy and daddy time. Barbara goes, and she’s like, “My crates not here but I know I need to go over here somewhere.” And she kind of just goes to the corner of the room and Sean- Faces the wall? Sean would go over there and look at her and then look at us. And then he would just keep getting back on the bed and just being in the corner of the bed. Can’t he look at you both at the same time? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he does. He can almost look at us and Barbara at the same time. But eventually, after multiple times of taking him and putting him down there with Barbara and having him get on the corner of the bed, eventually I was like, you know what? “He’s just on the corner of the bed and he’s looking around us. So I think this is gonna be fine.” And I think we may have scarred him, but just so you know, we had a threesome. I mean, technically, I’m just saying. I’m saying that because he was present. He was, I mean, nothing happened. I’m just saying he was present. I think, technically, like if you look it up, it would, technically, that’s what you would call it. But it was just, he was just on the corner of the bed. I mean, I never looked at him until it was completely over. Number three, seek professional help. Okay, thanks. Number four- I’m a believer in that. Distract yourself. Yeah. Distract yourself. Distract yourself from the, we’re talking about squirrels still. Yeah, yeah, yeah. @mystery_gal21. How to get out of toxic friendships. Well, I’d like some more specifics, like what is their name? What makes them toxic? Have I ever gotten out of a toxic friendship? I guess. Didn’t you text someone that you didn’t wanna be their friend anymore? Yeah. Yeah, but it turns out I was the toxic one. Yeah, you were the toxic one in that scenario. No, what happened was, is the guy texted him and was just like, “Hope you’re doing well.” And Link texted him back, “I don’t want to be your friend anymore.” I mean, that’s basically how it went down. No, it was more like, “I would love to be your friend but I don’t have the time.” Yeah, that doesn’t make it any better. “And I respect you too much to lead you on.” Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he was like, “Dude, I was just saying hope you’re doing well.” I don’t want to go back to that. Yeah, well, too late. So, yeah. So I don’t think Link has a lot to say here. I think with toxic people- I think you’d need to tell them you’re moving on. Well. I’m still a fan of that. I think a lot of the methods that you would use in a normal relationship with a person who isn’t toxic don’t work in situations where you’ve got someone toxic. So I think you have to think about maintaining your own health. So that could just be completely ghosting someone. Or a passive aggressive Instagram post, you know? I don’t recommend doing it over social media. Yeah, so I would not recommend that. Here’s a photo of me and all of my friends. If you’re not in this photo, you’re not my friend. You are not friend. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Here’s looking at you. Okay, Chat GPT said, “Getting out of a toxic friendship can be difficult but it’s important to prioritize your wellbeing and surround yourself with positive and supportive people. Here are some steps you can take to get out of toxic friendships. One, recognize the signs. Manipulation, gossiping, controlling behavior. Two, set boundaries. Three, distance yourself. Four, be honest. If you decide to end the friendship be honest about the reasons.” I said that. “And five, seek support.” Wow, Chat GPT- That is freaking good. might be better than, I don’t know, y’all. Y’all might just be getting all your life advice from Chat GPT. I mean, you might want to ask him some questions before you go to a therapist. Nope, don’t quote me on that. Don’t quote me on, don’t take my advice, or quote me to a therapist. Chat GP therapist. What does GPT stand for? Protocol something. Good performing therapist. I don’t know. I wanna remind you, we have a whole sike line, including this fun mug that when you fill it up with hot water, it reveals all of these sticker designs that say, “Sike”. Everything transforms. That is our sike brand. Go to mythical.com/sike to check it out. You’ll like it. Generative pre-trained transformer. Really? Generative pre-trained transformer. That sounds fake. Okay. One more, one more advice. Okay, this is from @Barland95. I want to like beet root because it’s really good to grow with other plants in the garden. But every time I try one, without fail, it tastes like dirt. How do I make beets taste good? So beetroot is just beet, right? It’s just a beet. I’m, yeah. You pickle it. I’m sensing like a British situation. Yeah, 100% pickling is the answer. I mean, my nana will pickle a mean beet. I think you gotta pickle it, then I think you have to have it in a recipe in which it is not the star of the show, you know? It is an accompaniment. I would just eat slices of pickled beets. You don’t wanna start there though. ‘Cause it does, it still kind of takes like dirt. But that’s actually what makes it good. Yeah. I’m saying if you’re, if you think it takes like dirt, pickling is gonna help, but I would introduce it into a dish that, you know, is about something else and beets just happen to be there along for the ride. Now, I’ll get beet on a salad too. And is that a pickled beet? I guess it is. Like when you get beets on a salad. I would just say I would get beets on a salad. I think I would probably use the plural when I said that sentence. Or beets. It’s a beets. Sometimes I’ve ordered a beet salad and there’s no, like, there’s not greens, it’s just beets. Those are roasted, most likely. Roasted. I like them. But it’s like beets and maybe some cheese, some goat cheese and maybe some walnuts. Yep, yep. Maybe just maybe a, maybe a pineapple. And some onions are in there ya lot of times. That’s really tasty. Ya lot of time. Ya lot of time. Really tasty. Okay, top that, Chat GPT. Yeah, this is the first one that we’ve given Chat GPT that’s like very, I would say very practical, it’s a very practical question. Yeah. “If you find that beets taste like dirt, here are a few things you can try to make them taste better. One.” Do you notice a pattern to this advice? How it always comes in a list of five? “One, roast them. Two, add flavor. Beets pair well with many flavors, such as goat cheese, citrus, and balsamic vinegar. Three, use them in a salad. Four, juice them. Five, experiment with cooking methods.” Man. What are we good for? I mean, like everything that we came up with, Chat GPT came up with too, but then came up with more. Came up with more and said it in simpler way. And not just this one. Oh my gosh, we’re gonna have to do this again. We’re gonna have to do this as another “More”, because the ones that we can’t get to today. Okay. It’s just fascinating. That’s the tease. Maybe that single guy could date Chat GPT. It seems like they would have all the answers. It’ll be like that movie “Her”. Which I remember being a really good movie. Very good. Joaquin. Now you see it, now you see something else.
