Welcome to Good Mythical More. Have you ever looked at ancient Greek pottery and thought to yourself, what does that mean? Yeah, that’s what we’re gonna be thinking as we look at ancient Greek pottery and telling Stevie and you what it means. Well, first we’re gonna freeze frame. Good luck with that. ’cause I’m already basically frozen. Oh, oh. I could do that. Did I make the free frame though? We’re like babies. Did I make the freeze frame? I think I did. We never have to make the freeze frame. Never know what those say. I mean, did they freeze, did, did the, you know what I mean. You know what I mean. You, you, when’s the last time you went to a museum? That’s the only place I would see ancient Greek pottery. I mean, uh. I went to– I don’t, I don’t like see it otherwise. I went to the British Museum, but it wasn’t very recent like a museum that would have such artifacts. I’m gonna be honest, whenever I’ve seen pottery of any ancient ilk. In a museum. I haven’t spent a lot of time on it, so. You just, you just glaze over. [laughter] Stevie, hit us. Hit us while we’re ready. Well, I was gonna say, because, uh, Rhett at some point in time is going to Peru. There is a museum in Lima called Museo Larco, and it’s all erotic pre-Columbian erotic pottery. Oh, pre Colombian. I thought you were about to say something else. Okay. Well, when the Colombians show up thing, things got more erotic. I will tell you that. I, I, I, I’ve known a Colombian. What? Oh, Columbus? Yeah. Well, she said Colombian. Um, I’ve never heard pre-Colombian refer the– I, I would recommend going there. I think if. Colombians are, um. It is really nice. They’re a sexual culture. All right. Okay. All right. I’ve got a lot of things planned, you know. Based on the one Colombian that I know. I’ve been there. Umm gonna show you this. And you’re gonna tell me what’s happening and I’m gonna tell you if you’re right. So there’s a guy with his foot on another guy’s, I think this is scrotal inspection. No, no, no, it’s not. No, no, no. Because hamstring stretching because his right arm hand is on the glute. Oh, it is? Yeah. See, his, his right arm is coming over. Oh, and grasping the glute. Yeah. His right arm. It’s his left arm. His left arm is under the knee of, of the left leg, and you can’t forget the, the robed man who has a large fork. I think he’s a referee, I think, and so what they’re doing is. They’re each testing the tenderness of the glute, and then the big man with the fork is going to pierce one glute. He’s pick, he, he’s, this is called Pierce. called picking. No, it’s called glute popping. Glute popping. They’re gonna pop one of them glutes, but they have to make a collected decision. He’s just standing there impatiently, waiting to pop a glute. And you see how he’s averting his eyes or he might be looking straight at his bits. Yeah, right. What’s happening? Yep. Papa Glute, uh, close. It is a pankration, which com is a, is a ancient Greek, uh, sport of sorts that combined wrestling, boxing, and kicking. And the guy with the big fork is the judge, the referee that says, yeah, that’s right. It may highlight the particular danger of the event to the competitors. The fact that that judge is there with that big fork. Mm-hmm. So they’re wrestling and kicking. Mm-hmm. But this is an interesting move. It’s almost. This is, it looks like it’s the beginning of some sort of, you could turn that into a figure four if you kept going at it. I think the guy went for a roundhouse kick with his left leg, and then the other guy blocked it and then scooped underneath, and then he’s in a vulnerable position of being one-legged. This points, this reminds me of the fact that short form media has changed the way all of us are exposed to basically everything that’s going on in the world. Yeah, and I hate it. I don’t watch any actual, like fighting sports. Yeah. But what I, I see people get knocked out all the time. You just see the. I see the knockouts of it. I just see the clip of the knockout. Isn’t that weird? We’re just, we, we we’re just seeing the knockout moments. We’re not seeing the fight that led up to us. What does that led up to? It? What is that doing to us as a culture? It’s making us impatient brain mushers. Yeah. Brain rot. Next. Okay. This, this rooster is clearly taking this man by surprise, by running through his legs and giving him the old whoop whoop. This is actually not what it seems. This is the first ever iteration of that costume, and those little legs are the man’s legs. Yeah. And uh, yeah, this is just a costume. It’s just a man who looks like he’s riding a chicken. ’cause that’s the only possible explanation for something that, yeah, to be disproportioned. Yeah, I love it. This is the full description. This young man, A stride. A rooster touches the bird’s neck with his right hand, and curiously rests his toes on the framing circle. The meaning is not evident, but the reference undoubtedly has to do with the rooster as a love gift. Mm. A love gift because they weren’t that big back then. They haven’t gotten smaller. No. People were very small though. Oh, people were very, very tiny. Greek people were small. Eight to 12 inches tall at one point. Yes, yes. Very, very small. Small enough to fit on a plate. The rooster, I do like the. The fact that he’s interacting with the circle of the plate. Yeah. Like that is a cool little feature. Like if you’re doing art Yeah, that’s cool. And you can make it look like somebody’s leaning up against the frame points, you know? Yep. I do that in all my picks. I mean, if, if roosters could be that big and that’s a regularized, modern day human, I don’t, I’d be scared. I’m just saying, I’d be scared if somebody said we’re having wings. You’d be like. No thank you. Multiple. Really? How many people are coming? Oh, yeah. Didn’t you wanna see? Didn’t you wanna taste the two curly fries? Yes. So, because I think we wanna know which ones were better. I, I maintained Carl Jr’s better. Really better. Oh really? Because I think the Arby’s had more, you, you said the Carls Jr’s one had more seasoning, which is interesting. ’cause I feel like the Arby’s are kind of as like they is breaking a trash can flavor. Well, they were on top of the trashcan. Oh. Oh. Do we not have them? Yeah, have them. Oh, okay. Arby’s or Crispier Arby’s. Oh no, they’re not Crispier. Carl Jr. They Carl, Carl Jr. Are crisp beer. Exactly the same. And then do they have the same seasoning? I don’t want to eat ’em. They were in the track. So neither one was Carl’s Jr. Oh, neither one of ’em was Carl Jr. That’s Jack in the Box. Jack in the Box and one’s Arby’s. And I think I got ’em wrong. The Carl’s Jr’s one. You were like, Ew, this tastes like burnt oil with a little fish. That was cur cheese. Yeah, I should’ve known. ’cause they’ve got big fish there. They fry fish there, they’re putting the fish in there with the fries. Here’s the problem with curly fries. The seasoning is not good enough. Curls are great, but they just don’t taste. Some Cajun season in all, we just need something different. We need to go in a different direction that I was thinking Carls Jr. Went into, you know, what’s better than all these? They, they taste the same. Now that I can see ’em a bojangles fry with some bojangles seasoning on it, it’s better than everything we just had, especially the floppy ones. You think a Bojangles season fry is better than a cookout season fry? Yes, I think so. I think so. But you know, I usually don’t get the fries at cookout. Cookout fries are good. They’re flat. I get a and they can get floppy. I get a barbecue sandwich with slaw. I like the barbecue sauce. That’s a really good barbecue sandwich. I’ve never gotten that at burger, at cookout. ’cause I can’t get away from the burgers ’cause I love the burgers. You should try. How about this? Okay. Lot going on here. This is furries. They all have tails. Um, so they’re drape. The man on the left with the tail is draping something over. The man with the bits pointed up, what is he holding? Is that some sort of swan? The one on the right is, what? Is it? They’re pouring something Into the guy’s. Oh no. On the swan’s head? No, I think that’s just a bag of wine. You know, like it’s how you would get like, oh, you know what it is? You would take an udder off of a cow and you would make that into like a wine canteen. Wine. A wine sack. And so this is, um. So they’re filling a wine sack and then there’s a guy under there who’s kept catching the dribblings that don’t go into the sack. But they are…. Basically this is a, a sexy time kind of thing. Anytime you put on a tail. So there’s something sexual involved in that. Is the tail…..? It’s not on, on with a belt. Yeah, it’s a belted tail. It’s not one of the ones that attaches to a butt plug. So these are furries, Greek furries trying to save every last drop of wine. That doesn’t go into the utter sack, and we recognize that this may be too literal of an interpretation. This is like what they had instead of cereal boxes or other packaging to read. Right? Yeah. This is what you looked at while you were eating. Yeah. Um, this just says that this base depicts reveling Satyrs, S-A-T-Y-R-S. They’re reveling. They’re having a grand old time. Putting the tails on and drinking the wine. But I, but I, so you, I really wanna know what they’re doing though. It’s just drinking. They’re just reveling. It’s like a keg stand. Yeah, but it’s a keg sit. And it’s a bag. Yeah, it is a bag sit. Yeah. Yeah. It’s the old bag sit. You could do this with a wine bag. Have you ever had just a wine bag just held over you like this? If like from a box, from a wide box, because you know there’s a bag inside every box. Mm-hmm. The box is really unnecessary if you’re going camping. That’s a good thing to do is just you take the bag outta the box, take the bag outta the box. Then you have, you don’t have much when you come down. I’ve never done it, but I just thought that up. But, but the thing is about stacking though, you can’t stack a bag. You can cut. Okay. This next one’s really intricate. So we have a double fisted machete woman, a staff woman who’s very much like her, the referee. And then over there on the left we’ve got is that Paul Revere somebody with a with a horned cap hold roasting marshmallows. Yeah. He’s cooking s’mores. And then there’s a lady. Is the lady short or is she taking a knee? The sh the lady is the queen. She’s sitting down her, she’s doing a hair chair. Boy, Paul Revere is roasting the first ever s’mores. And then this lady with a double machete, she thought there was gonna be more to cut than actually there was. So she’s showing up way over prepared. She’s like, I thought it was gonna be meat of some kind, and I’m totally ready. But it’s just marshmallows chocolate and graham crackers. But the, it’s only marshmallows. Is that white thing over the, the Paul Revere’s left shoulder a graham cracker. I think that, or is that a reflection? That is a zipper. Yeah. There’s a zipper on the, it is a zipper side of the potter. It’s a zipper. It’s a, it’s a floating zipper. You can, you can unzip this pottery. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I think this is an execution. I mean, she’s about to chop somebody’s head off and then I think he’s gonna stick a roasted marshmallow down her neck. Yep. He’s right. He’s right. Execution. Persephone the daughter of the goddess, Demetri. Was condemned to spend half of each year with Hades. Yes. The ruler of the Underworld. Yes. And this grandiose representation for Stephanie Ascends to earth through a rocky outcrop. Oh, she’s guided by Hermes, Hermes, the Divine Messenger, and ti a goddess of fertility, magic, and dark things. Who typically carries torches at the far right stands, the Regal Demeanor. Waiting to receive her daughter and renewal of life that her return engendered. What about the double knife? The, I think those are torches. No, I think the marshmallow is the torch. That’s Hermes. I don’t really know who the person with the two knives are. She said it was the other, I guess it’s Persephone. It was Persephone. No. Persephone’s coming up out of the ground. She’s in the far left. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh no. But who’s standing in the middle? ’cause I thought you said that. Mm-hmm. With two torches. Those aren’t torches. I, they, I know they don’t look like torches, but Well, we need to go to the Met Museum. Does it really matter? What have they kept in that just didn’t even really matter. Fruit loop. It’s beautiful. I will say that. I’m tired of it. Guess go next one. Ooh. I mean, people would look at pottery like we look at our phones, man. Like a TV show. Alright. Okay. Well first of all, the guy on the far right is excited. He’s, yeah, he is. He’s, he’s tent. He’s got a, he’s pitching a tent. He’s pitching a tent and he’s pointing. So he is into what? So he’s turned on by whatever is happening. Okay. So, um, there’s a guy seated at a table holding a magnifying glass or a Turkey leg. And are we assuming that the man on the table is on the table at not in the background? I think he’s in the background. No, I think he’s on the table. Okay. He’s on the table because he’s holding up a handkerchief. But you see how the man on the left is gesturing with his fingers out and he’s, he, it’s like he’s, he’s put something on the table. It implies emotion of here’s something for you. So he’s like throwing something on the table. I think they are washing the feet of Icarus. That’s what I think’s happening. I think he’s in the background and I think that they’re, I think this is some sort of a store. There’s like socks hanging from the ceiling. They didn’t have backgrounds. There’s bags. They didn’t know about backgrounds. They didn’t know about depth. They didn’t know about depth yet, I don’t think. I mean they did, but they couldn’t figure it out how to draw it. I mean, why is. He’s on the table. Why is Icarus? He’s white. He’s got white skin. Mm-hmm. Nobody else has the white skin. Right. But, and but the guy who has the erection, he has a white beard. He has a white beard. And that guy on the left has one of those things, like you had one time where it’s a chair that deploys when you go into the squatting position. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Remember that? That happened here. That was a very popular TikTok. I think this is some sort of commerce. And the person sitting down is a cobbler examining, but there’s a big bowl under the table. But what is the handkerchief for? He’s bringing his tunic up so that his feet, his white feet are exposed. Well, you’re right about that. This is a pedicure location. This is a pedicures. Yeah, it’s a pedicures. A view into a shoemaker’s shop. I said, cobbler. You said Cobbler reveals a young female customer standing on a table Oh, for fitting. No doubt. While an older man distinguished by his white beard and hair and erection, her father that didn’t say erection, leans on his hand. He’s really into shoes and points to the seated cobbler. Who gestures back was an open palm. The bearded shoemaker leans forward to cut the leather soles around the woman’s feet while his apprentice works on another sandal. You were so right, dude. Oh, they put, they don’t know about depth and there’s socks up there, we should– They step onto leather and then they cut around the feet. Yes. This is the best way to make shoes. Why did we stop? Well, it’s very personal. Yeah. It involves having, having to go and stand on the table takes a lot of time. Yeah. I see why we got rid of it. I mean, the manufacturing processes that we– We would’ve to go to the Nike store and it would just be a big rubber mat. Right. And you’d stand on it and they would cut your soles out. Mm-hmm. And I want the Nike logo in the middle. Now don’t gimme one of those half logos. You know, it’d be a, I am proud of you, you, you’ve really figured it out, with my help. I can see, I can see a cobbler pottery when I need to. And you ate cobbler outta that too. One more, I’m, I’m loving this. We’re back on the plate. Okay. Alright. So we’ve got, we’ve got a naked person. We got two, two boys. One has his, uh, twig and berries out facing away, but then he turning back, he seems pleased. He’s got a, he’s got a. A bowl in his hand and the other guy’s doing a motion, the guy on the left is doing a hand motion. Um, as for what he wants, I think this is what I want you to do. Right. Yeah. With your hands. This is, this is, uh, fun times, sexy times. But what, what he be doing if he was like this? Playing a saxophone. Based on what I’m seeing now, he might be a grower, not a show, but based on what I’m seeing. I don’t know if he can feel those hands. I think this is, um, this is a gay plate. It’s a gay plate. It’s just simply a gay plate. Yeah. This is one of the first gay plates. Are we right? Two revelers. One playing the double flute, the other holding a skyvause. Uh huh. Which is a deep drinking cup. Yeah. But where’s the flute? Is it invisible or has it faded away over time? Black flutes. It’s a black flute. Yeah. It’s in the background. And backgrounds don’t exist. Right? Yeah. So yeah, we were right. Yeah. Yeah, totally. Gay plate. Gay plate. Rhett the bean wizard pin of the month is live now at mythical.com for only 24 hours.
