GMMore 2438: Who Is More Annoying?

Welcome to Good Mythical More. Oh, this one’s gonna go well, isn’t it? We’re gonna subject ourselves to some sort of associative survey to determine who is more annoying? Associative survey. Yeah, we’re gonna associate our traits with ones that are associated with being more annoying, but I’m already calling this whole thing into question. Right. Because it’s all in the eye of the beholder. Well, what if I end up becoming more annoying? Then you’ll be happy and stand by the results. You know what’s annoying is people who are easily annoyed, unless that’s one of the things that’s gonna make me more annoying. I’m more annoying. I haven’t said anything really yet. Okay, but first, let’s give $1,000 to Special Olympics to aid in their mission to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, and experience joy with their families, other Special Olympics athletes, and the community. And you can join us in giving to this very important cause at specialolympics.org/donate! Donate. It’s not a survey. I’m just gonna give you some like, annoying traits and then you have to decide which of you is more closely associated with that trait. This will be fun. Right, so you’re gonna survey us. Sure. And if we can’t make a decision- That wasn’t annoying. Stevie, you have to do it. No. Where did the traits come from? The writers. Your genes and your environment. So, these are things that the writers think are annoying. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Not necessarily about us. Well, I’ve only read the first one, so we’ll see as we move along. Can I just? Let’s throw out here, just in summary, the trendy items from the main, as well as the Mythical Society exclusive round we tried. Flip that a little bit so it’s not reflecting so bad. Protein bars. The last one. The last of the bars. The only one I didn’t touch? We tried the protein bars as an extra for the Mythical Society and… And we have noticed a pattern. You probably can see that pattern, as well, now that they’re all next to each other. It’s like- Globular fonts. They got together, all the ad agencies got together, and decided that slight throwback with like, some distressing. What would you say? It’s like. Well, first, I mean, look at the Fs in Fringe and Flings. It’s, you know. So it’s definitely vintage stuff. Like, there’s a vintage feel to everything, but then it’s kind of deconstructed in some way. Like vintage minimalism, I would say. Vintage minimalism. Vintage minimalism there. And you’ve got these like, pastel colors. Three pinks. That are like, different than any other packaging. Like, these colors would never be used in any other decade. These two, right? Yeah, you wouldn’t typically put. I mean, pink, you might do it on something strawberry flavored. But yeah, this is… And the juxtaposition of colors, you know? You’ve got- Very complimentary. Orange and yellow and I mean, this kind of has- Oh, it’s supposed to be Goodles. I said Goodels, but Goodles makes more sense. Like noodles. Goodles rhymes with noodles. Oh, so stupid. We’ll go back in and change it all. I believe they’re based in- We’ll get AI to do it. I believe this is coming outta Santa Cruz, California. So I’ve seen the headquarters for these people. You’ve seen the headquarters? Yeah. I haven’t been inside, but. Okay, you just kind of camped out? Camped outside waiting for the new flavor? I drove past going to the boardwalk. All right. Okay, I actually don’t know if either of you does this first one. Leave the ringer volume on on your phone. Yeah, I never do that. I can’t tell you the last time that my ringer was on. Yeah. Me, either. It’s literally been years since my ringer was on. I will say Cassie does this, but Cassie also barely looks at, answers the phone. Might as well just not even be there, really. Is this why? Is it that the phone is not on Cassie’s person, but sitting nearby? Exactly. So she needs to like, hear it maybe 25% of the time. Yeah, my wife’s the same way. And then what’s the ringtone? Well, the issue is for me, I’m gonna say the issue is the ESPN alerts because those make a noise. She gets ESPN alerts. She does and she also gets them as we’re watching the game. So it’s just like- What is that? Oh yeah, I just saw it. Yeah. Just confirming it really did happen. It wasn’t just in my brain. Now, does Cassie have the do not disturb hours on so it doesn’t bling all hours of the night? Yeah, she is good about when we’re sleeping. It’s not going off for sure. Can can we include Cassie in this, as well? So now, she’s got one. Yeah, Cassie’s gets a point. Cassie gets a point. Does your wife keep her phone on her person? Oh, we’re not including her in this. Jessie does not. I mean, boy, Jessie does not keep her phone on her person. It is a pet peeve of mine. If I called her right now, 30% chance she’d answer What kind of chances- Because her ringer is on? No, her ringer’s off because she doesn’t want to have her phone ringing, but her ringer is, her ringer. Her phone is usually in her purse. Does Cassie talk, have phone conversations, like this? No. Because okay, that would be another annoying. Like during a walk at night, have you seen those people? I just don’t get it. I don’t, yeah. Like walking at night and talking on a speakerphone like this. I just wanna go out there and just slap it down the ground! No, that’s exactly what coyotes are for. Why don’t you just take it and shove it up in their face? I will say an annoying thing I do in relation to Cassie’s phone is for some reason, I’ve decided I cannot figure out things like Ring and the thermostat. And I’ve decided that she will just have those things on her phone, but I will be the one who asks her, “What was that? Check that! Check that alarm. Who was that? Can you turn down the AC?” This explains why a few different times when you’ve been in her office and you’ve been the one closest to the Nest thermostat. And you complained about the temperature and I was like, “Well, it’s right behind you.” I know. I don’t know why. And you turn around and like, you look at it and you’re like, oh! I don’t know why. And then you so hesitantly approach it with your hand. I think it’s just I’ve put it in the column of things I don’t do, you know? That’s clear. Yeah. That’s why we have mates. This next one, stand in the middle of the escalator. Huh? Yeah, the escalator. You know it. I think you could also apply this to- That’s the other part I don’t know. The moving walkway at the airport. The moving walkway at the airport. I think that would be more of what you’re using. I think I move. I mean, I’m a big person, so I’m very conscious of my body and being in the way of things. I tend to go to the right so faster traffic can go around me. If it’s flat, but if it is an actual like, an escalator, like it goes it’s a staircase that moves. There’s no expectation that you’re supposed to be on the right so that people can walk past you on it. At the Atlanta airport there is because it’s such a long escalator at the Atlanta airport. You’re talking it goes up a floor? No, no. I’m saying- Listen to me. I’m talking about the ones that go up a floor. Like at the mall. Yes. I don’t do it at the mall. There is no expectation that anyone should be walking up the left side of those, right? Yeah, but I’m saying the escalator at the Atlanta airport that goes up, moving stairs but it goes up many levels and there’s always somebody who’s hurrying up or down it and I’m always moving to the right on that one so people can do that. There are rules to the escalator, but are you saying, Link, that you don’t know the rules? I mean, maybe at an airport, I would. He seems to be resistant to this. If they’re wide enough for someone to go by. I think he gets the point. And I bet you they would be at an airport, sure, I’m open to that, but like, at a mall or anywhere else that I’ve seen an actual escalator, there’s no expectation that anyone is gonna be walking while on the escalator. Agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed. However- Uh-uh. Yeah, I hear you. But some people don’t. Some people don’t hear you. But maybe if you carry the expectation over to the Atlanta airport. It’s actually too dangerous. What are we doing on that? KG agrees with me. I just won a fidget spinner. Oh, great. Okay, so you get the point for being a little bit more annoying with that one. That’s what just happened. Are you okay with that? I totally, I always walk. Even when at an airport, I always go to the left and always walk and I do get frustrated for the people who are standing on the left because that’s the expectation. Yeah. Yeah. Leave the toilet seat up. I don’t do this, but I’m more likely to do it than you because my understanding is that you pee sitting down and I’m not saying that you’re less of a man because you do that, but you do pee sitting down and you seem to be proud of it. And so I would think that I’m more likely to leave the toilet seat up because I do pee standing up. You have so far to go. Not really. Listen to me. Okay, Rhett is more annoying. He gets the point. Oh, so he… I get the point. Hold on. I mean, he gets the point for the statement. Hold on, so this meant that I was more annoying in the last one? Yes because you had an issue with the whole rule. Like, you took issue with it. It was kind of annoying just to hear you talk about it. Well, mainly ’cause KG thought it was. Everybody’s on my side. Yeah and she’s the one giving the things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Chew with your mouth open. Can I just say that- Can this just be chew? Yes, I pee seated in my own home because it is the most sanitary way to pee. What about the Atlanta airport? Do you pee? No. You sit on the urinal? I raise the seat and I pee. I use a urinal, yeah. But yeah, at home, I pee seated. It’s because we have black tile in the boys’ bathroom and I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. It’s like something about that, you can see all the spray. And it doesn’t matter how good your aim is. It’s something about the force. Okay, can I clarify? I do a bank shot for this reason. I’ve tested that. Doesn’t matter. You’ve tested this? What are you, a myth buster? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I pee multiple times a day and I usually go to the boy’s bathroom ’cause it’s closest and like, I look at how much spatter is on the black tile. Yeah, I don’t think you’re banking it quite enough. I’ve banked it every which away. I sit down, man. I sit down. Chew with his mouth open. Sometimes, it just sounds like his mouth is open. Yeah, my mouth’s not open. His mouth is actually closed. I just think he’s got, I mean, he must have thin mouth skin. I don’t know what it is. Just, I don’t know what it is. Okay. So I don’t know who gets that point. I don’t think either one of us smacks, if that’s what you’re asking. Does Cassie? No, this one I know for a fact. This one’s soak the bathroom floor after getting in the shower, but I know that Link does not do this ’cause of his squeegee technique. Thank you. Maybe like, you know, wet around the sink after usage. So because it doesn’t apply to me, now you’re switching it. Well, I just wanna get to one that applies to one of you. I’ll take the point on that. On the sink or on the shower? The sink. So on the shower, we have like, a mat, you know? And I’m conscious about, I’m actually like weirdly worried about people slipping on the tile in the bathroom because I used to, my back was so bad for a while, that if I walked into the bathroom and one of my feet slipped a little bit, it could like, send me into like, a few months worth of pain. And so I got really anal about no water on the floor! And I’d say it just like that. This is the bathroom only you and Jessie share. Carpet. There are people who do carpet in the bathroom, mostly grandmas. Yeah, my in-laws had that for the longest time. Yeah, can I go to their house in pee standing up? Well, the carpet’s gonna soak it up somehow. But Jessie and I each have our own sink, but around my sink, I kind of just think I’ll get to this. Like, I’m gonna clean this like, once a week. But in the meantime, there’s definitely like, water that is kind of hanging out around the outside of the sink. So I own this one. To me, this is more of a here at the studio thing. I try to make a point. I feel like I’m sopping up other people’s hand wetness. That’s a choker. Hand wetness. When you’re done washing your hands and then drying your hands, take that towel and then dry around the sink ’cause it’s- Yeah, do that. There’s a lot of wetness around there and everybody needs to be responsible for that, I feel like. Do you think it’s more annoying- And then when there’s that, we have these trash cans and, you know, I really haven’t figured out whether I hate it or I love it, but it’s like a trash can with a lid with a little hole this big. Little square. Little square so the whole trash isn’t exposed. I like that. But then when you push that in there, don’t let it fluff out and stay there like a cupcake. You push it through. I mean, I had to take. I was seated on the toilet peeing here yesterday and I looked and then there was somebody left a cupcake on top of the thing and I had to take the lid off and take the. I didn’t want to touch it, so I’m like, turning it upside down and hitting it and taking the toilet brush and using the top of the handle to like, get that thing down in there. And I wish I knew who it was so I could fire him. I mean, that’s bold. There’s no reason to take a cupcake into the bathroom. Yeah, man. That was weird. I just take the previous paper towel and push. I create a hand condom. You make your own towel? With the previous paper towel. I wet my hands. Somebody’s making you do this. And I see if I see there’s something in there, I take it and I put it over the end of my fingers and I just press down, go beneath the lip, and let go. Before you wash your hands? Because I feel like I would need to wash my hands again. No, I don’t touch the lip. You gotta get your hands small. Like, ’cause you make the square. Make the square just so people can see how big the square is. Okay and like, I’ll take a paper towel like this. Make a cupcake. And then I’ll do like this and let’s just say there’s- Make a cupcake. That’s happening. Yeah. Okay and then I do this and don’t move, okay? Don’t move and then I go. I didn’t touch it. But you shouldn’t have to do that. That’s not on you, man. Yeah, I know, but it’s kind of fun. It’s a little bit of a game. Okay, this is, I hate this unless you’re my mom. FaceTime slash call without warning slash texting first. I don’t do this to anyone. ‘Cause I’m old. The only person I FaceTime with impromptu is Jessie when I’m away. Yeah, we’re just not of the culture of FaceTiming that often, but I mean, sometimes, it’s like, I’ll text somebody to see if I can call them, but I usually don’t FaceTime. Okay. That’s good. Yeah, FaceTime is a big deal. It’s appropriate. Yeah. I mean, what do you say? It’s just like… FaceTime? FaceTime? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, this one, you both do. I’m gonna say one of you does it more than the other. Oh, God. Look at your phone while someone’s trying to talk to you. Okay. Listen, I gotta keep the information flowing to my brain. You know, somebody’s gotta know what’s happening in the world in this duo. What is this? Oh, you just gave me a hundred? I don’t think I would ever do this to an individual, but in a meeting… You talking about in a meeting? I mean, one would say a meeting- I can’t believe you’re the one. But you are not the one that I was referring to. Oh, I know. Rhett. Rhett called that one out. But you do it more than Rhett does. Hell, no. Rhett has played TikTok sounds accidentally multiple times. Oh, really? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Somebody’s gotta know what’s happening on TikTok. For you, it’s Slack. Like, you’re multitasking. For me, it’s work. Yeah, work. Hey, when I watch TikTok, it’s work. It’s not TikTok sounds. Force everyone to keep a strict itinerary while on vacation. Okay, force everyone to fill in the blank. Link. Okay, give him two points for that. He’s sore about the… You’re just sore about the TikToks. What does this say? This says, “Courage to do anything.” What did you just say? Force people to follow an itinerary? Do you force people to follow an itinerary while on vacation? I have not experienced this with you. It does feel like something you would do, but also you wouldn’t do. I don’t know. Do you do that? I’m on a journey here. I experienced… Well, we had something that the only thing that I was in charge of. We had a bunch of friends get together one weekend and I ran point on picking the place that we stayed. And after that, I was just in charge of like, playing the music. And other than that, like, the itinerary of the things we were doing, somebody else was in charge of. And I gotta say, I learned a lot from this friend of mine. He’s a master and one of the things I noticed was that he never once said anything that he had planned. It was as if everything happened spontaneously, but then when I thought about it all, he had orchestrated all of it and it was wonderful. It was wonderful. Who is this? Me? Not you. Jacob. And so- Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah. And so I was like- I was there. I was like, this is a challenge that I aspire to ’cause I want to be able to plan stuff and then say, whoa, well, why don’t you step over here? And well, it’s dinner time. It was the most gently planned. Controlled. And controlled. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He’s great. He’s great. That’s what I’m trying to do. I’m trying to control people without them knowing it. Yeah. Right. Yeah, well, good luck. Okay, well, turns out that you are both equally annoying. Okay, great. And more annoying than Cassie, according to the scale. Yeah, it’s true. All right, FaceTime her and tell her that. Sorry, last time you were here, I called you a sociopath. I don’t think I believe that. Wait, when did you call- Lily’s a sociopath. Yeah. I never called you a sociopath. I think you’re great. I think you are capable of empathy, as you rip apart a once living creature.
