GMMore 2802: Reacting To AWKWARD “For Sale” Posts

Welcome to Good Mythical More. You know what, one of the toughest things to do in life is to sell a mirror because people wanna see the mirror they’re gonna buy. But lemme tell you, it’s apparently hard to take a good picture of a mirror. I can imagine why. Let’s explore that. But first, we spotted one Fletcher out in the wild wearing some merch. Hashtag merchicality was used. We found you and we are going to congratulate you with 100 a hundred dollars. I got biltong in my throat. A hundred dollars. A hundred dollars? Yeah, a hundred dollars. All right. Go for it. So.. Spend it Fletcher. Yeah. Apparently mirrors are so hard to sell that there’s a whole subreddit called people selling mirrors. That feature, um. I love this. Some choice, uh, options here. Um, perhaps we can look and come up with a appropriate rating system. Uh, okay. You know, we’ll develop it as we go for each one of these. Like this maybe on a scale of one to four. Sure. Yeah. Here’s the first one. Like four meaning I would buy. Oh, we’re already starting off great. So, okay. Was there a– This, this is a couple. A review, was there a review of the picture? I mean, is a nice frame. Was there a review? Are we sure it’s not just a picture frame? Are we sure? I just wanna be sure that I’m buying a mirror and not a picture frame. I think you’re buying a mirror. Um, beautiful mirror. Beautiful mirror. It is a nice mirror. I mean, you have a, a sense of scale because the guy’s head and then you have a sense of his, uh, you know. You have his, his part, his partnership because of what’s on the mirror. And also the distance that, uh, they are from, from the mirror, you know, which is irrelevant to when buying a mirror. You could have, I mean. ‘Cause all mirrors kind of work similarly. I think it’s pretty obvious also what, what the holder has just um, said or is about to say. Uh, via his facial expression. Do you, are you feeling that? Why don’t you move to the side, Noreen? You get it? Did you get it? Are we good? Can I go sit down again? What do you mean? I don’t know. Yeah, that’s what I, I don’t know. It looks like he just right after it was like, did you get it? Is that’s the, did you get it face. Yeah. In my mind. Did you get it? Um, the unintentional, uh, large head on a small body. Is beautiful. It’s eye catching. Yep. Really adds to the frame. It reminds me of when, um, fans post pictures of thumbnails where it’ll be like one of our big heads and then the thumbnail underneath this is somebody’s body. Or like, side by side doing something. Yeah. Uh, I’m, I, I would buy this mirror first. I’m gonna give this a four. Is it our scale of one to four? Apparently four is buy it. I, I would, I would buy this mirror. Yeah. Yeah. Four. Okay, this is perfect as far as I’m concerned. This one, uh, is this one some like, maybe some gymnastics were involved in this next one. I don’t really. Oh my, oh my goodness. Okay, hold on, gimme a second. So the thing, the thing, the pointy thing on the left side is that the person’s head, or the other hand, they’ve tried to obscure themselves in the shower curtain. Hold on. Is this mirror, does it have. Are the handles on the mirror? Like is this a cabinet? It’s a, yeah, it’s a, it’s a medicine. Cabinets cover the sink situation. There’s a, it’s a little cabinet. It’s a medicine cabinet. Well, don’t, why don’t people, they don’t know about angles. Oh, you know what drives me absolutely insane? I bet the bathroom’s too small. Have you seen these people on TikTok especially. Who are holding something up in front of the mirror. Like a, like a, a blanket or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. And they’re, and they’re, they think that the mirror is magic because you can see behind– Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I’m just like, we are doomed as a species. Now. Like if you don’t know why that’s the case– That hold on. And then you’re willing to post it on the internet. That, that being said, it is pretty wild. I mean. We’re doomed as a species. I just don’t, I mean, when you look at it, it is like, how does the mirror see behind I, the mirror doesn’t see anything. That’s the point, you do! I understand reflection and like– Well, then that’s all you need to understand. No, but, but the angles don’t seem like they’re– They always work. Trust me, the angles aren’t magic. It’s never magic, the mirror doesn’t see anything. I know that, but I still, you see the thing, but it’s still wild. I feel like maybe in another life you were, Rhett, you, you were the creator that stitches dumb things and it just cuts real hard. And it’s your face of disappointment. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. And then you just lay into them about how dumb they are. Oh yeah. I feel like you– I mean, I’ve, I’ve had to hold myself back from just doing a commentary channel. Okay. So many times. But I don’t wanna be negative. I just don’t wanna be negative. Oh, you don’t? I don’t. I’ll just save it for this show. So are you gonna buy this mirror because. I, I can’t help but take into account the effort. You know, it’s a weird shaped mirror. I’m offended by it. It’s sagging, the mirror sags. Because I could, I feel like if you just got a different angle. It’s really hard to figure out. I wouldn’t have to see you hiding. Well, you know, there, there’s multiple photos. Depth of the cabinet. There was a photo shoot here. I’m exactly best one. Sure. That’s one. And, and this is the one that they, and also. You see the way the cur, the shower curtain’s pulled up, so you can also see their body if you look, it’s just that they happen to be wearing similar colors to the curtain. What? But you can see like the curve of their, I’m pretty sure. No, no, no. I’m giving this one a one if you want to know. I, what, what is that? Is that, is that her other hand? Is that her right hand pushing out like that? Oh you? Yeah, I believe so. Yes it is. Why holding it up? Yes. I think, I think she’s covering up something that’s on the wall behind it or something and I don’t see the entire mirror. Yeah, one that is a very good point. Like, and I have no sense of– I think you can imagine what happens. How big the mirror is. This one didn’t sell. I’m gonna tell you that right now. I am a fan of a good medicine cabinet mirror though. Wait, but think about how much better it could have been sold. Yeah. One, yeah. Okay. I think we need one where we can really see the seller. So let’s do we have one of, okay. All right. Four. I mean, the dude. He had to have seen himself. Well, yeah. ’cause he said good size. Wait. Still works, obviously. And what about the other guy? What’s the background? There’s two guys. Shirtless. Beer belly guys. Twins. Twins selling twin brothers getting rid of a mirror. Discount. $50. Oh no, $25. He’s like, you want me in it? Yeah. You want me in it? Yeah. Why not? Both of us. The guy in the back, he’s fuzzy, but I can tell that he’s smiling, he’s grinning, he’s enjoying this. And I like the description. Good size, still works, obviously still works. I think the, the, the crossover between people who do those tiktoks and think that the mirror, it has the power to see they are the same people taking pictures of mirrors. ’cause there’s something about like, if I move to the side, the mirror won’t see me. So then I can’t take a picture of it. There’s some, there’s something going, if I’m not in the picture, if I’m not in the mirror. Yeah. This picture’s not I, you know what I’m saying? Like, ’cause if you just move slightly to the side, you would, you would. I, I do understand that, but I do wonder. Why not put a shirt on, you know? I, that’s what I was gonna ask. Like, I’m not feeling like it’s hot in this room. You know, they’re not really giving like, oh, it’s too hot to wear a shirt. They’re giving. Natural state. Yeah. This is what we wear. Um, and. Shorts. And again, I’m not seeing all of the mirror, but we can extrapolate. It’s probably curved on the top. I’m still giving it a a four though, just because we got, it’s got two subjects in it. I’m gonna give this a one. I don’t like it. I’m also confused. Is there a sale, was it originally 50? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then it got marked down. Mm-hmm. Uhhuh. Okay. It originally had four people in it. Oh, did you read the description? I think we missed that one. Yeah. It still works, obviously. Still got a sense of humor about it. Okay. Well we can move on. Let’s move on. Oh, scary. There was an attempt to disappear, but it just made you a ghost. Wow. I mean. Why can’t, I mean, I guess people want a straight on shot of the mirror because if you did get an angle on the mirror, would it look too thin in their minds? Like I don’t want people to think it’s the fan. Well, it doesn’t have to be that much of an angle. Just go until you’re out of it and then take the picture. We’re talking maybe 12 degrees and we’re there. This is an entire. Reddit, sub thread, whatever it’s called, subreddit. There’s people doing this left and right, day after day, filling the internet and got a shovel hanging back there. You think the person who put the shower curtain over them got the idea from this person who was a ghost or the other way around. I mean, it’s less. It is. It is less distracting to see a ghost with hands than it is to see a shirtless man. I mean, and it, and I assume that person’s naked. Can we talk about the mirror itself? I mean, it’s hanging from a door. Mm-hmm. Uh, it has a very mirror. Mirror on the wall vibe. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. Here’s the thing though, like I’m guessing these have been posted on sites where you have to go. To these people’s houses and purchase the mirror directly from them. He still, he’s still wearing the ghost customer. Yeah. Yeah. I would rather go to the ghost house than the house with the two men with their shirts on. Oh yeah, you, you’re the guys from the mirror. Yeah, exactly. You’re the guys from the mirror selling the mirror. So they took a picture of the mirror and then realized, I don’t wanna be in this, and this was the solution. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Three. Okay. Uh, I, I still don’t know what I think. I, I don’t want that mirror one. Okay. Next. Are you serious? What? Okay. What this, so this person’s, is that a foot? Yeah, it’s a foot. Taking a picture, holding a. What, which in and of itself, we need to figure out how they did that. I think the timer was involved. What I’m gonna tell you right now, I’m very glad that they didn’t reveal any more of that leg. You might have gotten into something else. Are they naked? Great mirror, by the way. Great mirror. Wooden mirror. Uh, there’s no indications in this person’s home that something is wrong with them. But you know, there’s no just like alarming thing. It’s just like, oh, this is a person who like cleans up after themselves, has tasteful gray paint. Yeah, but are they armless? Why not just stick your hand out there and take the picture? Why? You gotta show the bottom of your foot like that. I think this is intentional. This is, this was done purposefully to get a conversation about this mirror started and look it worked Here. We’re talking. Send seller a message. If it hasn’t sold yet, it’s about to. I mean, this gives new definition to the term foot pic. Am I right? That’s right, Link. That’s right. This is a joke, right? It’s a joke. It has to be a joke. This is a joke. Well, if you think this is a joke, then I don’t know. It’s $275 joke. This one. What is wrong with Spider-Man? This is not a wooden mirror. This is a wood mirror. There’s a difference. Uh, and is that a, that’s a pug. I really thought that was a baby with a mask because the adult had on a mask. I assumed that it was a baby. It could be a baby in a pug costume. It could be, we don’t know. We’re not there. So wearing a costume is. Yeah. I mean, that’s what the ghost did. It’s like you take the picture and it’s like, hold on. I don’t wanna be seen in this. What am I gonna cover myself with? ’cause I’m gonna be in the picture. ’cause I don’t know about angles. Spider-Man costume, but then throwing on the pug. It’s just like, oh, I look stupid in the Spider-Man costume. I need to embrace this. Let’s put a pug in a baby Bjorn. I think it’s all, this is all purposeful. We’ve moved into intentional absurdity. Yeah. $23. That’s three very specific. I don’t like how Spider-Man doesn’t have a neck. I don’t like that. It’s really, it’s, well, I think he does have a SS neck is just the same exact width as his face. It’s disturbing to me. I don’t know. I think the Spider-Man costume is too small for him. Too small, and the neck has been stretched. He’s too tall for it. And the neck, he actually has a smaller neck. It’s like coming off of the chin. His chin connects right to his, oh, just like a pug. He’s trying to make the pug feel included. Poor pug. Two. I just don’t like the mirror. Yeah, one. I don’t like the mirror either. Ooh, this next one? Ooh, this next one. Okay. Give us some time with this one. Why? Why? I do. I do. I don’t. Why? Why did she do that? She went total crab, but she’s so well framed. I mean, just perfectly framed. And then to add, I mean, then she decided to do the foot thing. Again, these people talk. That’s what’s happening here. People start selling mirrors and they, and they, and they start communicating with other people. Selling mirrors. Yeah. You know, ’cause you’re like, I’m about to do this. Maybe somebody else has done it before. She also has a cage, apparently. I think that’s a bad, she, that’s where she lives. She lives in that cage and she, she, she, she crabs around like that all the time. Holding that pose is pretty impressive on the toes. She was probably a ballerina at one point. Is there a hole in the door and she’s like stuck her butt in it? Or is this just happening? I mean, I feel like we’re assuming some gender that if you, well, who knows? ’cause we don’t know this person, but there’s, I don’t know, there’s a question mark there for me. You think that the legs are the same legs? They are the same. That’s what I’m, I’m wondering if it’s the same legs and I’m wondering what’s obscured that we can’t see. But, and then the one on the right, again, it’s like show it like feet holding the camera. That’s just unnecessary. I think the main problem with this one is I just wouldn’t want to have to interact with this person when I showed up at their house to get this. Yeah, I’d be scared. Octagonal mirror and, and the pictures don’t. There’s two pictures, but they don’t give me more information about the mirror. We only needed one picture, and I would’ve gone without the one on the right. Maybe it’s impossible to take a picture of a mirror without you being in it. Maybe we just don’t know. Maybe we’re just making all kinds of assumptions just putting, you just stick your hand out in front of the mirror and your hand is in it. I just don’t like the idea of your feet touching your phone. Yeah. We’re giving this a 1. Zero. Okay. Here’s that. Am I turned on a little? Yes. Oh. But still zero. Yep. Alright. Okay. Free dresser drawers with mirror pickup Fairfield today what? Okay, so we have a, this person got the angle right, but decided to put a mannequin in the reflection. Is it a mannequin or is it a person in a onesie? I don’t know anymore. The hands I have yet I, the, the real holding its own, own hands mannequin is, um, a new one. That’s a real person. I like that dresser. Is that burl wood? It looks like particle board could be burl. Maybe they’re thinking if you don’t put a person. In the mirror. You won’t know it’s a mirror. You don’t learn enough about the mirror. You might think that it’s more wall. Maybe that’s what we’re discovering. If you just take a picture of a mirror. Oh, right. Look, here we go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We’ve got one. Bring that out. Here. We’ve got one. Like if you just, if you just take a picture. Okay. Okay. Let me, I, I bet you I can do it. See, like if I’m not in this and you take a picture, it just looks like. I mean, it was so easy to not be in this picture. It was so easy. Like, I’m, I’m even holding it up. Look, look, I’m still not in it. I’m now just, now I’m in it. Well, you’re not in the shot. I will say that. I know, but I’m come right here. I’m just saying like, I’m still, I’m not in it. You’re not in it. No. Look, look, I’m not in it. It wasn’t hard. But the, but the– You still know it’s the mirror. But the mirror looks thin. No, it doesn’t. Here, let’s take a picture. Let’s, let’s take a picture. Here. I’m gonna stand here. I’m gonna hold this. Well, you know what? I think it’ll stand up. Yeah, look. See here’s one with us in it. It’s a little bit confusing with that floor. And then look, we just move out just a little bit more. I think I’m still in it more. Yeah, but ’cause I can see you. If I can see you, then you can see me more. Move. A little bit more. Yeah, see you’re not in it. But then just take one with your hand like that. Okay. That’s pretty good. I’d buy that. I will say, if you don’t have the context, like you guys remember that Forbes. I think it– Shoot that you did with the mirror. Oh yeah. Yeah. And it, that was cool. Let’s do that. It’s cool. But it also looked like you were holding a poster of each other. Because you didn’t know that, it was hard to understand it was a mirror. So it looks like Rhett is just laying down, holding onto a laying poster of Link. Yeah. So what? Which I do regularly. So did we, did we prove that we’re better than everybody else? Yeah. Or do we need to apologize? I don’t think that you’re better than this next guy. I just wanna end on him. Okay. Yep. We’re better than that guy. Hold on. How in the world did he get that close? I disagree. I think this is a work of art. Shop the Earth Day sweatshirt and tote at mythical.com, this week only.
