Welcome to Good Mythical More. Um, still haven’t gotten out of bed. You’re still not watching. Um, we have a vintage phone book and I’m, I’m only willing to read the covers. But there’s plenty on the back and front of this thing. Um, this is quite an old phone book. What places are still in business? Asheboro, North Carolina. Home of the North Carolina Zoo. Um, I would ask you to get that, but I can read it from here. Ready, pet, go. Somebody has a pet. And, uh, they took a picture of him. We tried to figure out what the pet’s name is. Harvey. Harvey. Oh, look at him, he’s so cute. He’s a smiley boy. He’s got some big, he’s got a little face. He hears everything. If you had ears that were that big compared to the size of your head, think about all the things that you would hear. Ooh, that’s a scary thought. Um, let’s call him, what did you call him? Harvey. Harvey. All right, Harvey. I don’t, I don’t even want to come up with anything else. Link! Oh my God. Named after Link from Legend of Zelda. It’s not named after me. They wanted me to know that. Link. Link. Link. I don’t think Link’s a good name for a dog, actually. Because you might need to yell it when they’re in the yard? All right, so let’s call some of these numbers. Um, right front and center, Farlow Funeral Home. But the number they have is, it’s big and red and it says ambulance phone. So call that, let’s see, what is the area code for Asheboro because it doesn’t give the area code. Everything is just 625 or 629. What’s the area code for Asheboro, North Carolina? Let me see.
