What does USB stand for?
Good Mythical Morning.
More.
Welcome to Good Mythical More.
See, it's harder to find something to
pop because we've done such a good job.
Wow.
Not really.
There's, so we didn't do a, there's so many
that are not popped job, which again, I think
is when you, when you take a bunch of, uh,
bubble wrap to the bubble wrap recycling
plates, I think by recycle they mean we're
going to roll this back up and sell it
to somebody else to use this bubble wrap.
It's not like they're gonna take it and
like investigate individual bubbles.
Hmm.
Because even the things that
you've completely popped still have
so much unpopped pops in there.
Yeah.
And there's sentimental value
in the fact that it was popped
and someone had a good time.
Us.
Yes.
So you're really buying the remnants
of joy that someone else had.
If you buy a used bubble wrap sheet.
Uh, that's beautiful.
Chase, could you explain
exactly what, uh, is happening?
Yeah, so I've got, uh, like common
words that are actually acronyms.
Yes.
Uh, and you are gonna have to try to guess
or just know what those actually stand for.
Hey, we're just gonna, USB, well, I don't
know either of the ones that were mentioned.
Uh.
USB at the end.
I know now, just because Y-M-C-A-I know.
Uh, USB because Lucas blurted it out.
So what, what's USB?
Universal Systems Bus.
Yeah.
Lucas is wrong.
It's universal.
Um, it is.
Lucas is now over my shoulder
proving that he does know what it is.
It is a bus though.
I know.
But it is a bus.
It is a bus.
It's not a system.
It's not a A system.
Why is it, why is it that every time
I try to plug something into a USB.
I always attempt to plug it the
wrong way and have to turn it over.
Like the odds are it would be 50 50.
Well, it is if you got USBC,
which is the best part about USBC?
Yeah, the old school USB, where it's
like the different sides are different.
And what does USBC stand for?
What does C stand for?
CI think it just stands for
the third iteration of USB.
I don't think it stands for like compact.
You still haven't figured out what
the S stands for before you move on
to the A, B, C Universal School Bus?
I'm school bus.
Universal school bus,
unclaimed, suspicious beverages.
Oh yeah.
Don't blame those.
It's just like, what's that yellow liquid?
Maybe we'll drink it.
What I'm asking though is why is it that
90% of the time I plug in a old school USB,
it's backwards and I have to turn it around?
I would venture to guess, and
then sometimes I'm like 90%.
It's that way.
So I'm gonna flip it beforehand and put
it in and then it, then it doesn't work.
I believe that this is a perception issue.
I believe that you probably have a
lifetime average of saying 50% law.
It's my fault.
Yeah.
Consensus back here isn't
the skill issue on your part.
Oh.
Because there is a way to look at it.
And no universal's.
Um, universal.
Universal, um, not Disney.
Universal.
Sub sub.
Sub optimum bus.
Nope.
System.
Think about doing something repetitively.
Series.
Close, uh, successive successive
series is very close serial, universal
serial bus, universal serial bus.
And then the C actually
stands for type C. Alright.
What we can't, I, there's some people
who, yeah, we need to stop popping.
Don't want the popping to happen.
Stop popping.
So even though the pop, the ability to
pop is here, we're gonna use restraint
because I know I. S you're watching this
because you couldn't watch the main.
Yeah.
For some people popping ball.
Wrapp is a snafu.
Your next word is snafu.
No, it's not.
Snafu is not an acronym.
Uh, yeah, apparently it is Sudden.
Are you non-trivial?
Accidental F up.
Well, hold on.
You got nontrivial.
That's N-T-S-N-T is S-N-A-F-E.
I was just doing the non part.
I got up.
You got up?
And then yeah, if you want to go
non pg, I guess you got F as well.
Oh, so it is a F up?
It is an F up.
Okay.

Snoop Snooper, snooper arrangement.
What's a snooper?
It's a military detector.
It's, it's, there's a sniffer
and then there's a snooper and
they both detect the same thing.
I, I don't, I, which is, I doubt it.
I don't know.
I think if you can give us the
s We'll, we'll get the, the na.
Okay.
S is.
Situation.
Yeah, situation.
I'm thinking there's co bar
between the N and the A. A what?
Oh, a colo. Like a dot, and then a dot.
Right above that.
Before the a colo. Before
the a, a dot situation.
Blank blank.
F. Uh, affirmative
situation.
Situation Now.
Kind of close All.
All F up situation, known all fd up.
It is all fd up situation known all fd up.
And that would be a k no
situation, s scfu situation.
It's kind of used, um, ironically.
Oh, where Yes, some, another situation.
Nice.
Yeah.
Situation, normal situation, all effed up.
Okay.
Situation normal.
Situation normal.
All effed up like it's a bad situation.
But in the military they're like,
but this is pretty normal for us.
Yes.
Yeah.
Another day at the office.
Got in a little snafu.
Okay.
The next one, you should know this one.
Scuba.

Yep.
Sudden.
Um, I know what the Uber is for sure.
Underwater breathing apparatus,
sudden camp underwater, but awesome.
It's usually you ever suddenly camped
underwater, but it was awesome.
That's scuba diving.
I've done it.
I mean, I haven't started a fire,
stayed overnight or anything, but,
uh, s serious submarine serious.
Submarine can submarines
can unearth bad actors.
That's true.
We had to learn this in
order to get certified.
Chase it's submarine can sub ultimately
back attached 'cause it's on.
Yeah, it's the can.
It is a submarine can and it is an
un underwater breathing apparatus.

Okay, well, um, Southern
California underwater, because I
got certified here in this state.
Yeah.

And this part of this state.
It's an underwater breathing
apparatus, but it's so cool.
Yeah.
Such cool underwater breathing apparatus.
You're gonna lie about that
and tell me that's not it.
It is, it is pretty cool.
I, I do very much agree with you,
but suddenly it's still wrong.
Skeet.
Skeet.
Suddenly charming.
Because it, you know, have you ever
run into a scuba diver that it hasn't
been char a charming interaction.
Oh, wow.
You, you're surprisingly engaging.
I just wanna talk to you.
Yeah, yeah.
Surprisingly charming underwater
bre breathing apparatus.
Um, surprisingly cute underwater breathing
apparatus suck or choke underwater
breathing apparatus, I think is what
it is because you suck in the air or
you choke on ocean slow compression.
S um, silly, silly and cute
underwater breathing apparatus.
I bet they don't even matter.
The s and c. Yeah, I bet
they don't even matter.
I mean, you could kind of,
yeah, it makes sense with that.
Yeah.
It's an underwater breathing apparatus.
That's all I need to know.
And it is self-contained, so, okay.
Well, self-contained.
Yeah.
It depends on who you talk to really.
Sure you could go there.
Right?
Okay.
The next one is,
I just didn't understand that.
Yeah.
Needs neither to die.
CAMC.
The fear.
American Movie Chain Chain.
American movie, cinemas
Corporation, American Something.
Cinema.
American made cinemas.
There's a, there's a hyphenate, technically
movie cinema between, and because they
used to be separate things, movies and
cinema, and, and he brought em together.
Yep.
Excuse me.
What kind of cinemas we talking about?
Uh, motion cinema.
Uh, a, a good number of them.
Many multi cinemas American multis.
Oh, oh, so you're telling me
there's not a single a MC?
They, they won't just do that.
Like the first theater that we went
to was the Dunn Twin Plaza Twin.
Guess how many movies they showed?
Two and G. And guess if
they were the same thing.
Never, never, they never would do that.
I don't care.
They weren't twin, how
good the one movie was.
They would never double up.
I guess they were fraternal, twin movies.
I saw people under the stairs there.
And, uh, I literally, I, I saw, I
mean, literally I went back in the
back and saw people under the stairs
going up there to like, to like.
Project, the movie, I watched people
under the stairs, but done the done
Twin Plaza was the Makeout Theater.
Mm. So I went with my
middle school girlfriend.
We began to watch the movie and
then, I mean, lemme just tell you
like there are only scary, right?
There's only certain, no, it's not scary when
you were literally kissing the whole time.
And the thing about it is, is
like kissing is great, but.
Kissing for an entire movie is something
that only kind of works in middle school.
I never did that.
You know what I'm saying?
Like just let's, let's kiss for two hours.
If I, I'm gonna pay for a movie, I kind
of feel like I need to watch the movie.
You kind of, I'm just saying you kind
of grow out of kissing for two hours.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you got that kind of
capacity in middle school.
I mean the, like you're getting chapped
in places you didn't even understand.
Oh yeah.
That's why they sell the like lip smackers
in packs when you're in middle school.
They got those like multi-packs.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
You went from kissing at the movie
theater to complaining that there's no
caffeine free soda at the movie theater.
Yeah.
You're all grown up now.
Uh, let me tell you.
And I just listen.
I mean that the free, the freestyle people
now they're calling me out on the internet.
Yeah, they're engaged.
You see that?
Yeah, I did see that talking crap about me.
They're actually commenting on
stuff that I post about you and
I'm like, keep that outta here.
Well, let me just tell you right now.
Coca-Cola freestyle people.
Mm-hmm.
Last time I went to the A MCI got a water.
You from the freestyle machine?
No, I've got a bottled water.
Hmm.
It's tough.
Boy.
I mean, it probably was the one that Coke
owns, but yeah, it was probably a Dasani.
It was probably a Dasani.
Yeah.
Okay.
It probably was.
You still got me.
They still got you.
But freestyle you didn't get me.
Next one.
RSVP.
Return something Via post.
Via post, so we will know that you're coming.
I mean, what is a word for like,
yeah, this, if you're coming,
there's a bit of a trick to this one.
Based on it's French.
Yep.
Rend.
I knew it would be French rendezvous.
Salt vu, play rough ponse vu.
Play that pretty much.
Yeah.
Responde vu play.
Huh?
Which means please respond.
Please respond.
Yes, I got it.
I, I just nailed that.
Something in me already knew it was French.
Maybe one of those three
years of French class.
That you're paying attention.
Responde vu play.
All right.
You didn't stump me on that one.
All right.
How about zip code?
Oh, I'll give you a hint.
Code is not an acronym.
Zip code?
Zip.
Um, well, it's gotta be zone.
Yeah.
Okay.
Zone in play.
Zone in post is postal.
It's postal.
You have postal
enter.
Continental, uh, inter is,
I mean, how many Z words can you
think of besides zone and zebra?
It is one of those z zebra.
I think there's only two words that
start with Z that aren't the proper
names in the English language.
Zebra, zone Z. And I was gonna say zip
code, but that's an acronym and zilch,
zilch is slang, but I'll count it.
Z Zanadu, zoom.
Zanadu is proper.
Now Zoom starts with an X, doesn't it?
Oh yeah.
That was the joke.
But what, what other non-pro?
Now lets start with A Z, Z,
Z, Z. Zap.
Zap.
Zap was a verb.
Zap.
It's a verb.
Zap, zoom, zap.
But we know it's zone
and we know it's postal.
Idiot zone, idiot.
Postal code.
Zone is postal code zone.
It's not international.
I don't think I ever said it was postal.
Oh, that was just an, uh,
assumption on your part.
Okay.
Well, we were wrong.
Um, you know what happens when
you assume we, and we just
demonstrated that Zanzibar is Putin,
Zanzibar is a, is a country and
probably a, a name of a person, and
it could be in the name of a person.
Uh, Xanax is a drug.
Xanax is pretty, I don't
know what color it is.
I think that's also with an X. Yep.
Zone in perpetuity.
Pipes.
Zone.
In pipes.
Uh, place zone is place code.
Zone issue.
Place, industry, industry place, zip it up.
Industry Place, zip Zippers.
Zipper is what the acronym to me
reads more about, like how they
implemented it and not about the
system that it actually like created.
Oh, enforced.
How they implemented it, like
to make the, the, I guess like
the UPS, uh, USPS work better.
Okay.
Zach is pushing this guys, Zach's
pushing this new thing where we gotta
have codes, uh, intercontinental,
we're gonna do it just for him.
The trains like it was worse
before and then it got better.
Because of the, I, they,
they made some improvement.
Mm-hmm.
Zone improvement plan.
It's the zone improvement plan.
Zone improvement plan.
Well, you know, they, it worked because
they did, you know what we're gonna do?
We're gonna put numbers on
everything that's gonna improve it.
Do you remember like every
zip code where you ever lived?
Uh, 2, 7, 5, 4, 6.
First one.
Excuse me.
That was my foot.
You don't remember that?
And it changed.
The mine was different than yours.
2 7 5 0 6. That was mine.
Yep.
Bowie's Creek had two zip codes.
I mean, for a town of nothing.
Some of us were in Lillington
2 7, 5 0 6 is an actual office.
We didn't have like Bow's Creek.
We didn't have a mailbox
until I was in high school.
Yeah, you had a, you had
to go to the post office.
You had to go to the post office,
which, uh, it's typical of people.
I mean, that almost seems more city.
I did not have a post office, like
having a mailbox is more country like.
My address was RR four
and it was just my name.
It was just like, um, caps, you
know, which is my ex stepdad's name.
And our, our address was Rural Route four.
Yeah.
And then it was a zip code.
That was it.
I don't, there wasn't, I don't
even think there was a number.
It had to have been a number on our box.
Next one.
I'm boring myself.
Okay.
GIF graphics.
Interchange format.
Is that it?
That's it.
Alright.
And that's why it should be a gif.
I agree.
It's a gif, but we're not
gonna have that discussion.
That's so 2009 because
graphic is a hard g. Yes.
Okay, I'll buy that.
And Jif is a peanut butter, right?
One more.
All right, last one.
A a RP.
You're going out with a banger.
All r rather perverted old
people is what I'm talking about.
All are rather perverted because it, at a
certain age, you just don't care anymore.
You can just get all nice and perverse.
You know?
It's not the STIs that's gonna kill you.
That is correct.
Yep.
Good job.
No, what is it if the American
Association of Retired retired persons.
Retired person persons,
it's not retired people.
It's persons.
It's persons.
And it's a state of mind.
'cause you can join the A
A RP without being retired.
Yeah, I can join.
Okay.
I think in two years.
I mean, you can join at
whatever age you want to.
Oh, okay.

Stallion joins, then I'll join.
