Welcome to Good Mythical More. There are certain things that people do in public that you shouldn’t, and we’re going to be the judge of the scenarios that are presented to us. And if you do these things, and if we deem them to be bad, you must stop. You got to. But first let’s see if we can fill in this famous quote from Seneca, great historical thinker. Seneca? I thought that was an apple juice. I believe he was a stoic philosopher? I don’t know. Something like that. Even while they blank, men blank. Even while they sleep, men lust. Yes! That’s it, Link! We did it! Oh. Even while they teach, men learn. Especially when they teach, men learn. Is this really about men, though? Well, it was back in the day. Yep, sadly. Yep. Even while they teach. Hmm. Okay. All right. Okay. I liked ours a little better. All right, Stevie. Hey, you wanna hear these scenarios? Bringing non service dogs into grocery stores. Ooh, it, hold on. So that, okay. Is it okay or not okay? And we’ve polled the crew as well. So you, you can, you know, decide if it’s okay or not okay. But also I have the numbers that we went with… We have their opinion. Yeah. To see if they agree with what’s correct. Can I ask a series of clarifying questions? Certainly. Or let me just give you a little perspective on this. I think that there is a difference between whether or not it’s right or wrong. In general, or whether or not it’s the right or wrong thing to do if the store says that they have a policy. So, as a rule follower, if you say no dogs, I don’t bring in the dogs. That’s typically the way I operate. I’ve never, I’ve never brought a dog into a grocery store. I think that having a dog in a grocery store is 100 percent acceptable. Uh. Personally, if the dog is well behaved. – There’s lots of… – I’m not worried about like, what is it, like a sanitary thing? Yeah. There’s plenty of… What are we worried about? There’s plenty of restaurants that you’re not supposed to bring your dog in. I don’t care about that either. Oh, I don’t care about that. I’m a dog person. I eat around my dog all the time. At home. I guess if I went to a really fine place. Some people don’t like that. With a white tablecloth. A fine grocery store. We’re talking about a grocery store. I’m talking about like, a restaurant. I mean, target, I would take my dog in a target, and if it was a super target, does it say on the Ralph’s door, no pets? Probably somewhere. Probably. It’ll say just service dogs. I don’t, yeah, what’s the worst that can happen? I think the worst that can happen is somebody with a dog that goes crazy is going to start eating stuff. Out of your cart. I mean, Enzo had the propensity to take a little poopy right on the, like, entry mat. Ooh, that’s tough. You know, and like, you don’t want to go grocery shopping and then step on a little poopy. That’s tough. That’s a tough one. Yeah. May he rest in peace. Yeah, and he was a good boy. So, you know. It wasn’t perfect. He wasn’t perfect. Uh, we’re saying… If the store policy is not do it, I’d say don’t do it. Don’t do that. Don’t leave your car Don’t leave your dog in the car, though. Just, you can’t go… You just leave him in the parking lot. Yeah. That bothers me when I see it. I mean, I know you’re joking, but I’d much rather somebody bring their dog in than, like, tie it up. Tie him up to the front like a horse in the old days. Ugh, I hate that. Yeah. I’ve never, people, oh, tying their dog up. People will, not usually at grocery stores, but like at restaurants at the beach. No, I’ve seen it at multiple grocery stores in LA. I’ve seen people tie their dogs up. Dogs tied up. Just sitting there. Yeah. Uh, but 33, uh, crew members said not okay and seven said okay. Okay. All right. You’re right. Yeah. Um, opening and eating slash drinking a product before buying. Okay. Totally okay. Okay. I mean, the barcode, don’t eat the barcode. You’re gonna, you’re gonna pay for it. I do this frequently. If I’m really thirsty or kinda hungry. And let’s explore the reasons why this might not be acceptable in some people’s eyes. Before we just go with instinct here. Yeah. What are we trying to protect here? Thievery? If the pricing is by weight. Okay, yeah. Like grapes. You can estimate how big a squash was based on half of it. What’s that conversation with the cashier like? Double that. I’ve eaten half of it. I ate half the squash. I just couldn’t resist. I got a thing for squash. Raw squash. But, uh, where was I the last time I did this? Cause it was just, I do it on a monthly basis. But it’s usually a drink. A drink! A beverage. Drink’s fine. – Candy’s fine. Chips? – I feel like a drink is acceptable. I don’t want to, like, watch someone eat something while they’re shopping. And, I mean, I guess that’s rude. It depends on the person you’re watching though, right? Exactly. Yeah, yeah, if it’s a really hot girl. Some people, it’s fun to watch eat. I’m just kidding. Well, Stevie said that she likes to watch hot girls eat. The girlfriend’s hot. Yeah. Next time you meet a fan at the grocery store, you’re gonna turn around and she’s gonna have a squash. I mean, if there was a section of the grocery store where attractive people ate, I might go to the grocery store more. I think that’s just, like, certain parts of LA. Okay. Certain Erewhons in certain parts of town. That’s where hot people eat. Mm hmm. Where are the most hot people at the Erewhon? Which Erewhon has the hottest people? I mean, it’s not Studio City, is it? The one next to the Grove. Yeah, Beverly Hills. Um, not Calabasas. Really? You think people in Calabasas just don’t, they’re just, it’s just like older, rich people who don’t care anymore? Yeah, just athleisure wear out there. Yeah. It is hot. They gotta keep cool somehow. Write that, write that down. That’s like a different kind of hot people. Where’s the hottest, which is the hottest Erewhon? You say write that right now? Write it down, write it down. Field assignment. Um, we are saying this is fine as long as you don’t eat the barcode. Yeah, yeah, and as long as it’s not squash or anything else by weight. Yeah, the majority of people agreed, although it was a little bit more splitsies. We had 24 OK, 16 not OK. I think it needs to be resealable, the more I think about it. You can’t just open a bag of chips and start eating them, even though the barcode’s on it. I’m starting to feel weird. I definitely don’t think you can do chips and dip. No. You can’t do chips and dip. But, can you just do chips? You can’t do that. I don’t think you can just do chips. I’ve never opened a bag of chips. In the store. I haven’t either. Why is a drink different? Because you can reseal it and you can give it to ’em and they’re none the wiser. They’re just grabbing. Yeah. You don’t wanna inconvenience the people working there know. Oh, that’s a good point. You put the chip bag on the thing and next thing you know they got chips everywhere. Well, let me ask you this. The self checkout is by weight, even for things that aren’t charged by weight. – So if you bought… – No, it’s not. Yeah, it is. They confirm that it’s the right item by weight. Yes, and if you drunk half of the, of the 20 ounce Coke, say, and then you, you scan it and you put it, and you don’t put it over there, and it’s like, put your items in the checkout area and you put it down, and it’s just like, where’s the other half of the Coke? Well, you, I, what I do is I put it down and I just press on it a little bit. You would, you’d have to keep your hand there. I add a little weight. You have to do that the whole time. Oh, and then I check out the rest of the time. Many times have I done this. You get, I think you get, I think you might get screwed. Let’s try that. Let’s try to check out with half a Coke bottle. Or just drink the whole Coke and just put the bottle down there and see what happens. Yeah, I don’t think, I think you’re gonna get um, you’re gonna have to have a conversation with the person. I hate having to have a conversation with a real person when I’m doing the self checkout. Cause that’s like, the point is, I’m doing it by myself. Right. I don’t need any help. Don’t point out, I mean don’t make this not about me. You know what I’m saying? Don’t make this not about me. If I have the courage to go in the self checkout line, and let me tell you, it takes courage. Let me just do it. Let me walk out with a sense of accomplishment that… I needed nothing. But you can’t buy alcohol. No, and you also can’t buy Hopsplash. Oh, really? Are you still on that? Well, I’m just saying, you have to show your ID to buy it, which just doesn’t make any sense. Yeah, that’s, it’s non alcoholic. I gotta restock my hop splash. It’s a hop flavored seltzer. I gotta restock my hop splash. I totally forgot about that. Yeah. Pick it up. I mean, I had a little gathering in my house, and I had alcoholic beverages in the fridge. Nobody, nobody got any of them. Nobody drinks. Nobody drinks anymore. Nope. What’s happening to this town? Health, man. It’s poison. Uh, let’s continue. Taking photos or videos of a stranger in public, even when they’re doing something funny. Even when they’re doing something funny? I mean, it’s hard for me not to filter this through the fact that I’ve never done this. This has happened to me, but it’s because I am rapturously internet famous. That’s right. You’re what they call a public figure. I don’t notice it. My family is the one who notices it. The kids, over the years, the kids are the ones – that have been like… – You’re being filmed. You’re being filmed. You’re being filmed, dad. You’re being filmed. So I feel for them, but I don’t notice. Maybe a little tingle, a little tingle down under lets me know that, Um. I need to perform a little bit. In this Erewhon. If I see someone doing something that I feel like I would tell somebody about, I’ll film them. I’ve never done it. But I can’t really remember. You’ve done it? I can’t remember any of these. Like, just, somebody, I mean there’s been a couple of scenarios. Creepy. Nothing’s ever happened. Nothing, like, oh, can you believe that this person is trying to put that thing in the back of their… Pickup truck or something like that I’ve never got ones that are good enough to like post. I think it’s because we don’t go to Walmart enough You know? People of Walmart. I think that’s the only that’s the only time I can think of needing to take a photo of someone. But I think… Well the guy at the end of my street spent months building a Waterfall nature area and He could not keep his pants up while he was doing it. Oh, I mean, I mean, I mean, I thought I was gonna see not just his crack, but like between his legs. And I thought I was gonna be able to see his nose bent over. In between his legs. You can probably see his nuts at some point, too. That’s how much, that’s how deep he was… Right before you see his nose, you see his nuts. I thought that was his nose. Okay. Yep. Oh, crap. You saw a nut. I’m glad I didn’t take a video. That wasn’t. He’s a friend. That wasn’t public, though. That was his yard. No, he was right there on the street. His ass to the street. I think, first of all, there are these channels. I, and I don’t know, these videos make me so angry. I don’t know the names of the types of channels, but it’s like auditor or something like that. Public auditor. And it’ll be like a person who goes into the police station and like stands in the police station and like films, the cops. And it’s just like, I have every right to be here and just, and I keep coming up and they’re like, sir, can I help you, sir? Can I have every right to be here? It’s a public space. I’m like. Who cares, man? Why am I watching this video on the internet? I’m getting mad right now. But if something happens, you could go big. You could have some licensing fees. That’s different than filming, like, an altercation between cops and somebody. Like, of course you should film that, because you never know what they’re going to do. But I’m talking about people who go into, like, they’re like, go into a library. And be like, I have every right to be here. I have every right to film you doing your job. And everybody’s like, can I help you? Can I help you? Can I help you? Like, those videos make me so angry. Why would they even post a video where people are just asking, can I help you? So that I will watch it. It works, I guess. It works. If Rhett’s saying he hates that, then what we’re saying… So I just don’t think you should be filming people in public. You shouldn’t be filming people. No, it’s wrong. Okay. Twenty nine people agree with that. Okay, good. And ten do not. Okay, alright. Listening to music out loud, slash listening to a speaker on a hike. Oh god. Oh god. I’m not a fan. I’m such a fan of music, but like… There was this wonderful invention a few years back where they put little speakers on the end of wires that you could put in your ear, and then… The wires went away. The wires went away, and it got even easier. Of course, some people think it gives you some sort of disorder in your ears, well just use the wired ones. Anyway, we don’t need to hear your music. I guess if you’re in a group, like two other hikers say, and you want to all hear the same music, but like, they don’t really want to hear the music. And there’s been a couple of times, I’m going to be honest, I’ve been with friends or family members who think differently about this. Uh, and have a very loud speaker. One time I was in a group of bicyclers. I’m not going to say bikers because we were definitely not bikers. We were bicycles. And we weren’t cyclists because we weren’t taking it seriously. We were on earth cruisers, okay? We were bicyclists. And there was a very large speaker in one of the baskets on one of the bikes. And I just felt like we were ruining everyone’s day. That’s what I was thinking the whole time. But if you’re in like, a party district. Maybe that’s the exception. We sort of were. Okay, well then maybe that’s the exception. But on a hike, no, no, no, no. You gotta respect the natural, like, leave no trace. You can play nature sounds, though, while hiking. As long as the nature sounds are from a similar environment. Mm hmm. Yep. You can’t do night sounds during the day, because that’ll confuse all the animals. If you want to bring, like, some extinct creatures that were native to the area. That would be very cool. That’d be cool. That’d be cool. But these are the exceptions. We’re saying no in general. Don’t be that. This is the sound of a giant sloth. We should start a YouTube channel called Don’t Be That Guy. Oh. I think it’s been done. I think, I think that was it. Uh, yeah, everyone agreed with you. Thirty five people. Uh, six people did not agree. I think it’s cause there’s some flex in this. You know, it’s like, it depends on where you are. If you’re in a party first. I thought you meant like, some flex. Like if you had a big jam box. Yeah, flex. Jam. I don’t know what that means. I mean, you’re flexing like you got a big jam box. Everybody wants to see it. You’re showing off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Back in the day, where we come from. Like the big… If you had a big jam box that you could barely get your hand over the top of it. That’s cool. And you walk around with it on your shoulder. That was awesome. Um, okay, let’s see. I want to, which one’s the best one? Boombox. That’s what most people call it. We called it a jam box because we were rednecks. Brushing your hair in a place where food is served. Brushing? Ugh. Like a full on brush session? I mean, I run my hands through my hair. Constantly. Habitually. Just like me. A problem. It’s a problem. Where food is served. Where food is served. So, like, if you work. Like a cafeteria. At a cafeteria, you have a hairnet. You lift up the hairnet, you put your hand in it… You’re just eating at a restaurant, I guess. I don’t know. So, you’re eating at the K& W cafeteria. And you’re brushing your hair you’re sitting down you’re watching your green jello jiggle. This is strange. I mean, I can’t say I’ve ever seen this happen. Yeah, is this a thing? People have been brushing their hair? I don’t think you should do it because I’ve never seen it if I saw it I’d be like… Yeah, I would have a problem with this. Yeah, it reminds me of like, you know clipping your nails. Anywhere anywhere. I mean, I don’t even like myself to do that in my own presence. Right. – You put your foot through a hole. – Clipping my nails. I want it to feel like it’s someone else’s foot. Who’s this man’s foot? Oh, long toes. You put, so you put your foot through a hole and then you bend the knee and then you put your foot back through the hole and then you cut your own nails. You think it’s somebody else’s foot? Yeah. Yeah. It’s usually just a poster board. It’s a poster board with two holes in it. So you got a thigh hole and a calf hole. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. And I’m sitting there like this. And so there’s a poster board right here. Right. I painted like bricks. It could be a bathroom stall. I’ve printed bricks on it. Okay. And then I’m like, Oh, there’s a foot coming out of this wall. Oh, he needs some work. Yeah. What a, what a dumb product. What should we call that? If you embarrass yourself when you’re clipping your toe nails. That’s a glorious idea.
