Today I'm apologizing in every language. Welcome to Good Mythical More apologies are important. Yep. I think it is. It is good to work that muscle. Mm-hmm. To give a good apology. Mm-hmm. Um, I think one of the keys to a good apology is to mean it. I think another one is to apologize for something specific. Yep. And don't apologize for other people's reactions. Apologize for your actions. Okay. Yeah. But I think chiefly the most important thing when apologizing is. Saying it in a language that can be understood Yes. By the person you're apologizing to choosing the right language. And, um, I anticipate needing to apologize to people in, uh, all different types of languages. So thank you for making this happen today. Yeah. Was, was there a reason that you guys decided that Link would be the one, Larry, what do you, what do you I don't under. I don't, what do you mean? I don't, well, I just, I mean, I could Well, you're so right. You're so good at apologizing. I, I feel like I, you're already so good at apologizing. I feel like I might need to know how to do this. I do think I'm better at apologizing than you. You've had a lot more practice. That's true. Mm-hmm. But in other languages, um, I think you just need to stick with the basics. Okay. Alright. Of English. Okay. So we can, we can have another one where you just learn how to apologize and maybe, maybe we will. I will tell you a little story At some point during this, more that link's wife, uh, volunteered to us the other day when we were all, uh, eating at a restaurant together with friends. Wh which one? Oh, the one that, okay, I understand. Alright. I'm fine with it. I just think it's on theme. Yes. Yes. And your wife brought it up. Okay. And I, I'm sure I'll defend myself. So what's the first one? Do we have 'em here? Yes, we have 'em here. No, we don't written. I have Right. Mikayla's saying you have them there. I have them. So what's the first language? Okay, this is Spanish. Well, is it, I heard him say Shinto. Well. Lo siento. It's lo siento in non accented, uh, poorly done in Spanish. So like, I guess if you were like, yeah, so if I say lo siento, yeah, it would be acceptable. Will you understand that? I'm trying Los for how I said Los see, said a double apology. Right? And this is, I mean, this could come in. There have been many times in Los Angeles when I wish that I could speak Spanish more so than I can. I can say a couple of little things I regret. This is a good one. Yeah. Taking French and Fish Spanish, taking French Dummy dummies, Dum. And then my kids did the same thing and I really tried to get 'em not to do it, but what it came down to was the teacher they wanted. Right? They just, kids have no perspective. They have no perspective. You're like, you're growing up in this place. They've lived so little life. So useful to speak Spanish and you still choose not to. Lo siento, Lo siento kids, we let you down. So this is, um, what the crew is suggesting that I apologize for. So you've actually got things. Oh, um, alright. Chase, wherever you are. Yep. There you are. He's ready for it. Lo siento, I stabbed you in your inflatable suit. Lo siento por stab. You don't have to. No. Mm-hmm. We don't have to do that. Nope. You've also already apologized for that. This is just. And I have. So he's already apologized for that. This is just. Right Chase. That's right. It's, it's behind us. And that apology, why bring it up again? That apology has been accepted. Yeah. Right. Yeah. There's no hesitation. There's no hesitation. Okay. Okay. Next one. Oh, you might know this one already. French, you took three years of it. Um, yeah. French. Well, okay. But there it is. Okay. You might not. Come on. Leave us in defense next time. Okay. We're gonna, I'm gonna guess them if I think I know it. Um, hey. And that was the only one I had a chance of knowing. So act like you didn't hear that. What do you think it is in French? I thought pardon meant, excuse me, pardon, because that's what it means, pardon in English, but it means, sorry. Yeah. It's like, well, excuse me, sorry. Pardon, pardon my French. Yeah, pardon. Pardon my French. Is when you say a curse word in English. What? Hold on. What did I just say? Yeah, you were right. Pardon my French. Is an English saying, for saying a bad word, that was probably also in English, correct. So I'm. Pardon my French. Sorry for my French. Yep. That makes sense. Yeah. As if four letter words are French. Okay. Oh, the crew wants me to apologize to the crew. This is good. This is good crew Paul. I said something vaguely inappropriate for a boss to say to his employee, right. This is a, this is a blanket, this is a blanket emphasis on vaguely right. This is a blanket apology. It applies to everything in the past. Everything that happens today and everything that happens in the future. Pardon everything in the future from me. Just know that it is, has been apologized for. Uh, you wanna talk a little bit about what your wife shared with all of our friends? Yes. Yes. Um. You talking? Well, we were at a parade, this was back at Christmas and there was a Christmas parade and we were there with a whole group of friends and it was a community parade. It wasn't the best float was the wiener Mobile showed up. Oh yeah. I love it when that, I mean, that was amazing. Other than that, it was, um, some marching bands and just, uh, like there was, there was one group of guys. Old people, men and women actually. And it was called the Friendship Club. And they were just walking out. Was it the Quakers friendship? They were just friends. Oh, okay. Old people who were friends. Hmm. I like that. And when it was over, I'm not gonna tell the, you want me to tell this story? No, I, I don't, I was loving you beginning. Well, the first part of the story is not when it, when it's over. We're leaving. We're about to leave Phrase. Well, before you do that, I mean, I want to tell the other part that she shared, she said. Well, I gotta tell you about what Link did last night to embarrass me. That was the first thing, and this just doesn't really require apology. This people will think this is fun. Yeah. Um, Christy is watching the parade and Link has somehow, I don't know if, I guess you went to talk to some other, some of our other friends. Yep. I was talking to other friends at earlier in the parade route before the parade started, and then as, as I continued to talk, the parade started and then like Lily was there. Then you needed to get back to your family. And then all of our friends were there. So like Lily was texting me like, where are you? Get get over here. And I'm like, well. So Christy's sitting there watching the parade and she sees a marching band. You know, there's a lot of like high school marching bands that are a part of this. It's very exciting, this parade. And then, um, behind the marching band, there is a middle aged man who was dancing in the middle of the parade. Uh, he has on a. Uh, like a, a w like a winter hat with flaps on it that kind of go down, that kind of looks almost like a little bit costumey. And he is dancing and Christy's like that guy is really getting it. Like, who is this middle aged man dancing with the band? And then literally he was twirling like a, a baton that wasn't there. And then he was doing that thing where you, uh, he was riding the pony. Riding the pony. Yeah. And that was when Lily leaned over to Christy and said, mom. Is that dad? And it was, I was in the parade. He was right. So Link needed to get back to his seat. And the way he decided to do that was to get in the parade. I had to cross the street anyway. Right. So, and I was like, if I cross early enough, they're gonna think I'm in the parade. And uh, so that was just a fun. How long we did you do that? I was like, four blocks. Shh. I mean, it probably was one of the more exciting things that happened in the parade, except when Santa comes over on the helicopter, which I wasn't there this year. I didn't see it. Yeah, it's wild man. A little old helicopter comes over and there's Santa hanging out and just waving and, but I, I'm gonna tell it from the perspective, uh, that Christy told it from the next, so now the, the, the. The parade is over and everyone is leaving, and there is a woman there, and she's, she's passing out like little flyers. They have candy canes attached to them. You know how sometimes you'll pass out a flyer for a business or something? This was specifically for an acting class. It's like, come to my acting class. Come to my acting class, the people of Los Angeles, and there's little candy canes on you. She said, if you have any kids who are interested in acting, yep. And she hands me the card. And according to Christy, uh, link. Took the, took the card and then said, you know what? Why don't you give this to someone that would actually use it? And in that moment, I knew what Link's heart meant. Link's heart meant exactly what he said. I'm not gonna use this. I don't wanna waste it. Why don't you give it to someone who will use it? But to this woman who's passing these things out, it sounds like, why don't you give this to someone who's gonna use it? And the slight, I didn't say, why don't you put this where the sun doesn't shine? I but the slight. I mean, I, Christy said based on the look on her face, she took it in the latter way because I was already giving it back to her. Just like, why don't you take this and, uh, why don't you just take this and let somebody who's actually gonna use it, use it? And, uh, so anyway, if that woman is out there watching right now, I mean, you didn't have the opportunity. I think your wife said she apologized on your behalf. Oh, she, she said something like, sorry about him. She ran off. I don't know what she was doing, I guess to find that one. I think she said sorry about him. And that was when I said, you need a shirt that says sorry about him. Um. Dance bon chance, before the next one. Okay. Uh, does that mean anything to you guys? I, I am, am the son Dele. Maybe my pronunciation is bad, but I being told that is maybe the formal way of saying, I'm sorry. Just wanna get ahead of it for the comments. We recognize that I am desolate. I am desolate. I'm, but just with desolate. Yeah, that, that counts too. Okay. Uh, this is German. I am the sun. This is German. You got any guesses for German? Um, it probably has a sound like in it. Nope. Here it is. Es tut mir leid. Again. Es tut mir leid. Pregnant people. I made you uncomfortable. If I made you uncomfortable. You haven't made all pregnant people uncomfortable. Just some. Still working on it. Some, some really, uh, they really welcome. Why is the stack so tall? What was, uh, your stack's? Not even that was, uh, was this woman pregnant? Uh, I didn't look at her good. I looked through her. She meant nothing to me. She offered nothing. That I could use. Now I don't. It's a, to take it and then to just find the nearest trash receptacle and throw it away. I don't have kids who want to dance. I don't want to dance. I already danced. Well, didn't you see me earlier in the parade? Let's explore maybe. Okay, so you involuntarily took it because when she, what was I supposed to say? You know what? Give this to someone who could actually use it. Well, how, how, how, as opposed to, you know what I, I feel bad taking this because I'm just gonna throw it away. I mean, I, there's, do you want me to say that there's simpler? How about No, thank you. But it, I already had it in my hand. You, oh, you know what she did That thing where it was in my hand, hand, hand. Hand it to me. Hand it to me. I'll show you. So you take it without thinking about it. So if, do you have any kids who want um Oh dance lessons? Yeah. No thanks. I appreciate it. But no, thanks. Oh, I mean, it really can be that simple sometimes. Lemme try. Do you have any kids that would like to act. Uh, no, don't hesitate so much. My kids, sir, you asked me a question though. My kids are too, but you know, you read the room, you know what's happening. You know that somebody's giving you something. A flyer. I, I got a kid who's really into pottery. Yeah, we're not, it's not, this is not time for a conversation, but you ask a question again, it, I'm doing an acting class for children if you're interested. Just say, no, thank you. No thank you. There you go. Right. And you don't, and you don't have to have that look on your face like I'm about to say something else because that makes people feel uncomfortable. I'm thinking so much, and I just want to say it. It's like, don't would, I mean, don't it? It is a pet peeve of mind to give somebody something and then ask 'em if they want it. Come on. Well, I don't disagree with that, but I'm just saying that I've run into the situation before as well, and I could tell I've found a way out. I could tell she was not the one. It wasn't like she was hired to just get rid of flyers. 'cause then I might be doing the, doing the person a favor. It's like, yeah, you do your job, I'll do mine. You give it, I take it. Then you got one less to give away. But I could tell that she owned the place that she bought, she it spent her money on these candy canes. So, and in many ways you made it, it's even worse. I know you were trying even harder, but you made it even worse. You could have said, I don't like handy canes. That's not, that is true. You could have just, that's also true. I knew that's also true. Yeah. I didn't say that. You could. I mean, I'm just saying No, thank you. Works. Even when it doesn't work, it works. No, thank you. I, I love what you're doing for other people. No, thank you. But what about, I love what you're doing for other people. For o no, this makes her think too many. Okay. Alright. Alright, let's move on to the next one. This is Italian. I think you can get this one. Because it's based on the word, it has the same Latin root as, excuse me. So how might you say, excuse me, in Latin. Excusey. Close. Excuse. Close. Excusey. Close. Qy. Nope. The last part's wrong. Ex, excuse say. Close. Excuse. No excuse I. Oh no, keep going. Excuse, uh, excuse O. No, no excuse. No excuse, e. No. You to want a excuse a yes. Scusa Scusa Scusa er Scusa Scusa. Scusa Scusa. Yep. I don't think I'll ever go there. It's too crowded. And when people talk about Italy, they always like, well, you know what? You can do the country of Italy. Yes, but, and here's how I know, because people are like, you know what, if you go to so and so, it's just like Italy, but less crowded. That's what I always hear about other places. Well, they said that about Croatia. So many places. Oh, go to, I mean, go to Croatia. It's like Italy, but less crowded. Croatia is great. Apparently Italy's crowded, but it's what I've learned. It's not Italy. Come on y'all. It's not Italy. It's Croatia. Ouch. I mean, I love Croatia, but it's not Italy. Maybe you should apologize for that. Uh, za to the people of Croatia. Use that one. Uh, music lovers scusa for becoming a dj. Why did you give that one to me? Scusa, I berated you for thinking that we should keep better quality Turkey slices in the fridge. Yeah. Um, don't remember that, but that rings true. Uh, any sliced meat's gonna be bad for you. Not, that's not, look at the almonds. That's not necessarily true. Look into almonds. Um, Filipino, let's hear that one. Try that. That's a lot of syllables, pa. Try it again. And the test is if it, like, if when you say it, your face starts to look sad and like has a regret. Yeah. See it ends in a he, which is, it ends with a nice smile. Yeah, I like that. And, and if you were apologizing to my smaller dog, uh, what would, how would you say it hin? Yeah. Wow. Lesbians paumanhin for having so much love and appreciation for your existence. What? Well, that's nothing to apologize for what? Sure. Why am I gonna do that? Did I read it wrong? I'm sorry for having so much love and appreciation for your existence. It is a sarcastic one. This is sarcastic. Oh, this is sarcastic. Nothing to apologize for. Okay. Nothing to apologize for. How about I don't really do sarcasm. How about, uh, Russian is, we need to, is the knee chair. Che Cheche. And this guy's whispering at some woman on the street is Che. Golden Star Visual Russian. What? Golden Star Visual Russian is one of this is a YouTube show, not necessarily an endorsement for that YouTube channel. We don't know anything about it. Okay. But would you like to try to apologize in that? So you just, I mean. No thank you. No thank you. It's, I mean, it just, no, thank you. And I, a lot of times will do like a, I love what you're doing. No, thank you. No thank you. It's hard to give someone something that's somebody that's doing this. Yeah. No thanks. No, thanks. I got good at that in Vegas. I went to Vegas and you wouldn't believe the cards they tried to Haney in Vegas. No, thanks. I get out of a lot of solicitations what the people are doing on these cards. Good God. Now, the other day I was, uh, in a parking lot and I was going into a place, and it is a place where there is quite often solicitors standing in the parking lot trying to get you to like, sign something and learn about something. Okay. And this, I mean, I guess it's usually a good cause, but I'm just not that kind of guy that's thinking about those things when I'm going into a store. Right. I came here for the store, right. I, I mean, I'll get to the good cause later. And Right, but I saw a sign 'cause I didn't see the people out there and I saw a sign, like one of those signs that's like they, the people in this store have like set it up and it says the solicitors in this parking lot are not approved by our store. And so I told Jesse as we were going in there, I was like, I'm, I'm happy to see that sign because I don't like that whole no thank you thing. 'cause now you make me feel like an a-hole because I don't wanna save the trees. It's like, I believe in saving the trees, but not exactly right now. I need to go in and get a, get a Dr. Pepper or a book. Yeah. And why are they doing that? Uh, why, why are they Well, I think it's just they don't want to kick the people out. Well, I don't know. But this is what happened. So. Oh, something happened. When I went into the, to the store. I told Jesse, I was like, you know what? Next time I see somebody in this parking lot, I think I'm just gonna say instead of No thank you, which is what I always say. I think I'm gonna say, did you guys see the sign? Yeah, that's the spirit because it's just like I'm on the side of the store in this situation. I'm just, it's, I'm just, I'm on the side of the store. I'm like, yeah, I'm not approved. That's why I'm there. I'm not approved. I'm there for the store. And, um, then I go out of the store and they're there and I start thinking what I'm gonna say and that, and right when I got up to them, you gave them money. I was about to say something and I didn't know whether it was gonna be No, thank you. Or have you seen the sign? And the guy was like, Good Mythical Morning. And then he got a selfie with me. Oh, dang man, you would've. And uh, you almost stepped in. He had no idea what I was about to say, and I was like, thanks for watching, man. And, uh, but he did not ask me to support his call. So I don't even know what it was. I'm sure it was good. I'm sure it was good. But unapproved. They're always trying to save something and that's great. Save everything. But uh, just get permission. Just get permission to stand in the parking lot. Our new Mythical Essentials Tees just dropped. Shop all four colors now at Mythical.com.
