Welcome to “Good Mythical More”. Let’s explore some sayings. They could be sassy, they could be sexy, they could be schooly, and they’re associated with certain states. But can we guess them? Can you? But first, you gotta check out “Good Morning, Tulsa County”. It’s a podcast. “Good Morning, Tulsa County” Every morning. Right. And you think it’s just for the residents of Tulsa County, but no. It’s very broad. It’s for the three counties around it too. ‘Cause sometimes they talk about the Walmart. Right, right, right, right, right. And you gotta go one county over, you gotta go to Putnam County. And the thing that I find about “Good Morning, Tulsa County” is that every morning when I listen to it and just so you, buckle up, it’s six hours every morning. Right. So I get up at 2:00 a.m. And I listen to it while rowing on the river. You know how I do. Yep, yep, yep. And then I’m done at 8:00 a.m. and then I’m in here. Right. But I gotta say there’s always a little tidbit of wisdom. This morning, what was it? What was the tidbit of wisdom that we got from it? ‘Cause they said it a few times to make sure it really stuck with you. What was it? If it stinks, wipe it off. If it stinks, wipe it off. And so I’ve been wiping all day. And if it stinks after you’ve wiped it off Go see a doctor. Yeah, I was gonna say keep it in a jar ’cause they also said that. Oh, I was thinking if you still stink after it. You know, it’s funny how “Good Morning, Tulsa County”, you take things multiple ways sometimes. Right. Yeah. That’s really what it’s about. It’s just how does it speak to you in that moment? Stevie, do you listen to it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There’s a video version- Oh, you watch it? That I watch. You watch them, huh? You watch them? And when I go to their YouTube channel- They’re all out of focus. I have to make sure to type in the at symbol before I go to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. At “Good Morning, Tulsa County”. Which is a cool little thing that YouTube has done recently. Their back wall is in focus and they’re out of focus. They don’t realize that yet. Yeah, yeah. We haven’t told them. Yeah, yeah. Slang words and phrases that are used in the 50 states. It’s from a article from our friends, these are not our friends, at BestLifeOnline.com. Best life online. That’s what I’m living. I don’t know. They could be our friends. I know nothing about them other than they’ve published these slang words. You don’t know what they believe. Is it a Joel Osteen thing? No. He’s best life now. Best life online. Best life online is different. Is us. No see um. No see um is a- These are bugs. is a bug. This is in the South. Yeah, but this is the first time I’m seeing it written down and like understanding that it’s the three, like no see um. Yeah. No see them. Because every time I’ve heard it- It’s the first time you’ve saw a no see um. I thought no see um was like a scientific word. I’m gonna be spending the afternoon at the no see um. No, no. I’ll be unavailable. I knew it was the little bugs. I just thought it was like- Oh, you didn’t realize it was a colloquial. Yeah, I thought it was spelled like N-O-S-I-A-M. Like, “Oh, the nosiam”. I’ve heard this a few times. They did not say this in the part of North Carolina where we come from. I ain’t never heard. But I’ve heard it in other places. And I’m trying to remember. Alabama. I was gonna say Mississippi, which borders Alabama, I think. So my guess is Mississippi. You’re both in the South which is correct, but you’re not South enough. Is it Texas? No. It’s Florida? Yeah. I said Florida a little bit ago. Maybe that’s where we heard it. You know the thing about Florida is they’ve got, first of all, it’s a peninsula. So I didn’t know that the first time I went. The second thing I’ve learned about Florida is can you imagine not knowing that Florida was a peninsula? I don’t think it would affect anything. I know, but just like having never looked at a map, you know? We just left the water and here I come up on water. So so many a peoples houses- Is this a peninsula? Huh? So many people have pools that are inside screened porches. Yeah. Like screened over pools. The bugs are cray down there. And it’s just like, okay, they don’t have that in Georgia, and like, they don’t, like I’ve never seen that anywhere except Florida and it’s everywhere in Florida. You can’t have a pool without being inside a net. Yep. Things you learn. They feel more secure swimming that way. Because of the no see ums is really what I’m coming back to that. I mean, I’m thinking about those, I would say on our last camping trip, Stevie. Oh, we could see those. You could see um. Yeah, you could see them. But I think they were no see ums ’cause you couldn’t see them at first. Lord. Oh, dude, those were flies. I think this time we go camping inside of a Florida pool. You think a no see um can pass through a Florida pool net? No, they probably make the nets to not let the- Ultra fine. let the little things. Maybe babies can, but babies don’t know how to bite you. I mean, and those nets are a lot finer than any screen that I’ve ever seen. I think it might also be a way, I know there’s something with insurance, if you like fence in your pool, and it might be like a slight way, like around that where it’s like actually helping other things too. Well, that sounds like something you should look up. It’s a fringe benefit, but I’m pretty sure it’s the bugs. Let’s just Yeah. Listen, a nice screened in like porch situation in the South, that’s nice, you know? Screened in pool. Or pool, but also just a porch. Yeah, because you don’t wanna have to put bug spray on all the time because then you smell like you got bug spray on. And you don’t wanna do that and jump in a pool. Yeah, it’ll ruin the filter. All right, give us another one. I feel like we might be good at this. Yeah. Shark bait is what people from this state call tourists who are so pale that they just might attract the notice of area sharks when they’re in the ocean. Huh. I’m gonna say Florida again. Florida is the guess that makes the most sense. But would you do Florida, Florida? Florida has a lot of shark attacks. I thought that was “Finding Nemo”. I thought that’s where that came from. I’m gonna say this is- Shark bait, who ha ha. This is the Gulf Coast, but it’s not Florida. It’s- Louisiana. I’m tempted to say Louisiana. You’re picking states that have, I think, quite a few pale people in them. Oh, you making this about race? What are you trying to say, Stevie? I don’t know, when I think of Florida, I think of like old white people. But shark bait. I mean, to have sharks around your coastal waters. Mm-hmm. It’s not California. Well, and think about like, I guess I’m thinking about being in the ocean, maybe like surfing. California. You’re closer. You’re getting closer. What? It’s Oregon? You’re getting closer. You’re getting closer- It’s Washington? technically, yeah. It’s Washington? No. Think about all the state. Think what? Holli-state? Holli-state? Think about all of the states you could choose from. The ones maybe you don’t Oh, Hawaii. Yeah. Oh yeah. We were getting closer, but then we started going north. And I was like, “They ain’t surfing up in Washington.” I mean, somebody is, but they got like a big old wetsuit on. All those pale white shark baits. Shark bait. Yes, Stevie. Now I understand everything you said. Hawaii is a state. Mm-hmm. Florida is a peninsula. Pork Queen is the title given to the winner of this state’s beauty pageant. Pork Queen. Pork Queen. I bet you the Pork Queen is nice to look at. I believe this might be North Carolina because we like pork, it’s a big export. Yeah, but how would we have not heard about the Pork Queen? I haven’t heard of every single pageant. I mean, my wife won Miss Erwin-Denim. I mean, think about that. I mean, it gets pretty obscure from time to time when you win after some jeans. Yeah, that’s true. This is like a Pink Hill pageant. Get down. It’s not North Carolina? No. South Carolina. No. Tennessee. It’s in a state I forget about. Oh gosh. Well, that’s gonna say a lot. Let’s see. Oklahoma. No. Stoklahoma. Wyoming. No. What’s the most forgettable state? Let’s make some people mad. Let’s do that. Well, it’s the ones I’m not thinking about. I’m gonna have to name all the other ones. You’re kind of proving the point right now. The most forgettable state. Well, I’ve forgotten New Hampshire three times on this show and I know that’s not right. Pork Queen in a forgettable state. It’s in the Midwest, right? Mm-hmm. Because things get lost in the Midwest. Arkansas. That’s not really the Midwest. It’s not a Dakota because people start thinking about Wyoming. I already said that. So? And it was wrong. Okay. I’m trying hard, man. Nebraska. Just cut me some slack. Nebraska. You’re, Ish. Which way do I need to move? Don’t ask me that. How good is your geography? It’s Nebraska-ish? Yeah, like it has the flavor of Nebraska. Pork Queen. Missouri? Iowa. Iowa. Yes. Iowa, yeah. It has that Nebraska flavor. Got the Pork Queen. I see what you’re saying about that now. Let’s see a photo of the latest Pork Queen. Yeah, Pork Queen, Iowa. If not, Google it, please. Just for us. We’ll wait. I like that shirt though. That’s a fun design. It’s a really cool design. Proud mythical beast design. Let’s send one of these to the Pork Queen. 100% of profits- See how she responds. Go to, what’s the cause again? Outright Action International. Outright Action. 100% of profits, so go for it. Oh, here we go, here we go. Hold on. Okay. Now this is the Pork Queen. We’ve been handed a phone. And you’ve got- Okay. the ambassador. Is that the previous Pork Queen? These are high school students. Well, who’s that? The PorK King? Okay. Yeah, there’s a Pork King. Yep. Yeah, we’re talking high school students, so we cannot comment on this. Right. We can comment on this. We will not comment on the Pork Queen. Oh, sorry. Where can you get that shirt? Mythical.com. Mythical.com. Oh, okay. Do I really need to say that? I missed it. Listen, I missed it. I mean, I didn’t say it. I will say looking at all the previous years’ Pork Queens, it looks like it’s the same person over and over again. They kind of blend together, yeah. I will say, I will say that. They all look like shark bait to me. There’s a type, if you know what I’m saying. A gaper. Oh, come on now. Someone who is very new to the sport of skiing and looks like a newbie on the slopes. Does that mean something dirty too? No, it’s- A gaper. It’s a mouth gaper, like, “Uh, I never skied before. What’s snow?” A gaper. This is something you’re gonna hear about in Colorado. And you know, Colorado, the capital of American skiing. That’s a good guess. That’s a good, it could be Utah. It was Colorado. A gaper. Y’all need to come up with a new name. I guess they’re like going around gaping at everything, like. Don’t show us any photos of the Gaper Queen. I don’t care if she is from Iowa. None of that. Bop. People from this state use the word to describe someplace farther than a hop, skip, and a jump. A bop? Basically when someone says somewhere is too far to go, it’s a bop. It’s a bop away. That seems like it would be close, right? “Oh, it’s just a bop away.” It’s like, “Oh, that’s a bop away.” This feels New- Bop seems short. This is wrong. New England to me. Yeah, ’cause it’s not really far. It’s a place where distance- It’s East Coast. Doesn’t matter. Maryland. Rhett, how’d you do that? Is that true? Yeah. Wow. Maryland, they say it’s a bop away? It just felt like it was getting close- I disagree. to New England. It’s a northeastern kind of thing, you know? Oh, sorry. They don’t say the away part. Am I apologizing for something I said? I don’t know. I’m sorry anyway. They just say it’s a bop, not a bop away. I forgive you. Not the away. It’s a bop. Man, that’s a bop. I’m not up for that. It’s brick or it’s super cold. It’s brick. It’s super cold. This is a place where it gets super cold. North Dakota. I was gonna say Minnesota. Everything’s becoming a brick. No, go east. Go east. It’s New York? Mm-mm. Connecticut. Maine. Massachusetts. Yeah. A brick. Is this a, use this in a sentence. It’s brick. It’s brick. Took me 45 minutes to defrost my windshield. It’s brick out there. Okay. You remember the days when you used to have to- I understand that. defrost your windshield? Oh my gosh. Wow. What a thing. Wow. You had to go outside. Everybody in North Carolina had a- North Carolina? Everybody in North Carolina had a plastic- Yeah. Scraper in your car that you had to use throughout the winter when you went outside. And my dad had a thing, my dad would put hot water on the window and he would like take a pitcher of hot water out there. And it’s funny because I’d forgotten all about this. Would’ve never thought about it again until I saw a TikTok where a guy was like, “I’m gonna research the best methods of defrosting your windshield. Hot water.” And he’s like “Hot water in a plastic bag that you just rub on there.” And it turns out that was really, really good. That was really good? ‘Cause it doesn’t put more water. If it’s too cold, the hot water refreezes. But if you do that, it just like, he was just rubbing a dag gum hot bag on his windshield. It’s brick. It never really got brick in North Carolina. It didn’t get brick. But it was, you had to scrape it, son. Sometimes. This one, I really am not a fan of. Pre-funk. Pre-funk. Pre-funk. Pre-funk. This is when you start to smell a little funny. You might call it a pregame, but people from this state shorten pre-function to pre-funk to refer to the drinking that occurs before attending another gathering. A pre-funk. This is a drinking culture. So this is a beer culture. So we are squarely Midwest again. Massachusetts. No? Right? No. New England. Could be in New England. This isn’t a Southern thing. We wouldn’t do pre-funk. That wouldn’t make any sense to us. ‘Cause we wouldn’t, we would never have said it’s a pre-function and then shortened it. Right, yeah, we would’ve never gotten that. We don’t do three syllables. That’s a little too, that’s a little too Kennebunkport. You don’t learn words with three syllables in North Carolina until your senior year in high school. Could be Cape Cod. You know, this is when you pre-game in Cape Cod. I couldn’t even pronounce my last name for the longest time until 11th grade English. Good, good. You’re both in incorrect areas right now. Oh, so it’s not the Northeast, it’s not the Midwest, it’s not the South, it’s the West. It’s Washington. It’s Arizona. It’s Washington. Oh, Washington. Yeah. Oh, we’re going to the- Pre-funk. It’s a smart state. The pre- function. It’s a smart state, you know what I’m saying? It’s Washington. Probably the smartest state. Yeah, I bet you they know their three syllable words in like middle school. Say it loud and proud with the Proud Mythical Beast Crew Collab Tee. Available now through May 16th.
