Welcome to Good Mythical MORE, we've got Tweets from you, which we will keep anonymous, so as not a cause more trouble than is already existing, but this is Best Friend Conflicts. We're gonna solve 'em. And we're gonna see if we can solve 'em or help you figure out
if it's worth solving. But first, let's donate $1,000 to Stand Up to Cancer to aid in their mission to raise funds to accelerate the pase of
groundbreaking research that can get new therapies

your Mythical Best. Unless you are cancer, I guess cancer itself
cannot get behind the cause. All right. These aren't really conflicts per se, they're more like these friends don't like something about their best friend. All right, best friend annoyances, got it. Yeah, so the first one is, "He's got this habit? Where he looks at
someone else in the group and while maintaining eye-contact, asks a different member
in the group a question. I am pretty sure it's a mind game." Wow, wow. That's strange. If it happens so often
that you have noticed it and noted it to the
point that you're willing to point it out in a Tweet. Stevie, have you ever
experienced this before? Now see, okay this is
interesting when you did that, now obviously you can't
currently see Stevie because she's behind her
big Stevie curtain but- It seemed like an accusation. What would happen, typically in that social situation is that you would be
asking Stevie something, like you know there's a question
I gotta ask Stevie like, "Stevie, do you know
what I'm talking about?" Like if I look at you, don't you get that, to me I felt pressured that like, "Oh, Link wants, he knows that I want him to
ask Stevie this question." Like it was a weird sort
of like manipulative thing, so I do think it's a mind game, I don't think it's a bad habit, I think it's a mind game. Yeah, it seems like something
your brother would do to screw with people in a group, 'cause he's a mind game master. Maybe this is my brother's best friend, sending in this Tweet. He is, you know? He is kind of a mind game
master in social settings, like it inexplicably puts you off your, off your game. Well, he senses easy targets. Why, why are you looking at me when you're talking about someone else? I was talking about Stevie, but looking at you. Man, this is strange. It seems like something that is purposeful though, so like if this dude were to say like, "You know you do this." Then his friend would be like, "Yeah, I know I do it because
I'm doing it on purpose." I don't think this is a
difficult thing to bring up because it's kinda like, "Hey, I wanted to," 'cause you don't have
to come at it with like, "It pisses me off," or anything, he's like, "I wanted to ask you about
something I've noticed, like are you doing it on purpose? Because this is fascinating." You can come with this
whole fascination factor and then get to the bottom of it, and then when they say, "Yeah, I do that for this reason." You can be like, "Well, maybe you shouldn't." Then you could get confrontational. Or just say, "Well, we're not friends anymore." I think this might be the
end of a best friendship. Oh and by the way, don't we need to get
through like 15 of these? Because what was the- Yeah, yeah we gotta go. This is an official AI. Can I tell you the smell of toothpaste is overwhelming right now. That's not a bad thing though. Yeah, we've been wafting it. Is overwhelming. Yeah, it's my pants. "My best friend is my husband, he eats weirdly when he
eats ice cream or yogurt, he leaves a bit on the spoon, I cannot stand that he lips at the spoon like a baby deer or something. Sound familiar, Link? He also bangs his fork
against the plate so loud, it drives me bonkers." Hell, this is Kristie, does Kristie have a Twitter? Because you do both of those things. She does not, I mean it says, "Sound familiar, Link?" Your utensil sounds are very, so this is really, my best friend is- I'd say get over it. Is Link and he does both of these things and I just point it out for
comedy most of the time, but no point am I gonna be like, "Hey, you need to stop doing that, it's just every time you do it, it's gonna be weird, it's gonna freak most normal people out and I'm gonna mention it." It's just, that's the
beautiful arrangement. Like leaving something on the spoon, to me is different than the
banging the fork on the plate. And what is the difference? Because one, you can just like not watch someone eat something, versus like, like you're not gonna
like stop up your ears every time you're with
your husband eating. It's hard not to watch somebody eat when they're doing something strange while they're eating though, you know what I'm saying? It's just hard not to notice
that you're just like, "Huh? What? They're uh, there's still a bunch
of cream on your spoon that your mouth just touched." When you eat a cone of ice cream, you don't eat the whole thing at once, you eat some of it, you like lick it or like get the end of it and there's some left, I do that, but it's on a spoon. But you control the amount of ice cream that the spoon procures every time. So as to minimize the amount, I cut my number of scoops in half. Yeah, but you make it
uncomfortable for everyone else, for your own benefit, that is what you're admitting right now, which is okay if that's the case. You do less spoonage for
yourself to save time or effort, so that everyone else can be weirded out, I'm just saying priorities here. Based on this conversation, I would not bring this
up with your husband. I didn't bring it up. I would avoid bringing
this up with your husband. I really like to eat that way, but I would stop banging my fork, that's what I'm saying. "I care about my friend and would give my life for him, he was there for me when my dad passed, but I hate that he never wears shoes, like anywhere, unless he has no choice, he doesn't wear them in Mcds, Walmart or even in classes, he's just barefoot all the time. I still love him." Hmm. Honestly, this is the kinda thing that if this was somebody
who is a really good friend and you're with them all the time, it sort of feels like, if you're in a McDonalds, or a Walmart without shoes, you're technically violating the policy. Well, it's no shirt, no shoes, no service, yeah. Yeah, exactly. There's a reason why
there's a sign for it. And so, to me there's an
embarrassment factor of, and I may be overly sensitive to this, but if somebody who's
with me is doing something that draws attention and makes people draw
conclusions about them, I just don't like to draw
attention in that way, so if you're doing that, I'm gonna say, "Hey man, if we're going into Walmart, either let's split up, you go to the produce and I'll go to the toys." If there's no real, yeah like if there's no, if there's not a medical reason, or at least some sort of reason, it's just, yeah it's just, I don't know- Isn't this why Crocs exist? For people who just wanna not wear shoes? Can you please tell me that
this is on another level than eating half the
ice cream off my spoon? I mean, it is. It is right? It's a notch up. I mean, a bit notch up. I mean, to be fair, there's probably many, many a person in Walmart without shoes on. Well, that's true. You know? You gotta, yeah you gotta tell 'em. I don't, yeah I don't like this. Next. "Yes, no matter where we are, at work, at a fancy restaurant, at a funeral, this dude will randomly
walk around the place and cropdust as if it's totally normal. He thinks no one notices, but the horrified faces I've seen, basking in his ambiance is telling." Ambiance. That's just, that's just uncouth. I'm not saying I haven't done it, but like, it's not part of my brand. If you're doing this enough for it to be a normal thing that like, "Oh, here we are, we're in a crowd, Rob's gonna cropdust." Yeah, it's just like- That's, that's next level. Yeah, I really think that like you know, it's just like, "Hey, I can still be your friend, but I'm not gonna go
out in public with you, or I'm not gonna hang out with you at all because I don't want to smell you, what you do." So, I just think it's, yeah that's just, that's really inconsiderate. You know how I think maybe we should be thinking about this? Is like, "Is this a best friend breaker?" Is this a relationship-ender? Yeah. I think this is, like it's like you know, you don't wanna, oh gosh, yeah. If this guy is farting. You give an ultimatum, yeah. All the time in public places, it's honestly, unless there's a preexisting
medical condition. Right, and we don't have
to say that anymore, we'll just assume that there's not, but if there is then yes, all bets are off with medical conditions. Then I think that you do have control over whether or not you fart, you do, you do. "I can't help it." I've held it in painfully. You probably can. It's amazing how I'll be like, "Oh, that's so painful." And then all of a sudden, "I didn't fart, but where did it go?" Ew, yeah right. It goes into the ether. Okay, we're moving slow here. Oh, just let the 20 minute fart, okay thank you for stopping it. Okay, this one is similar. "The way they smell, it drives me crazy sometimes, I eat whenever they ask me
if they smell bad or not, I always say that they smell just fine, even though they smell horrendous." Nope, that's your problem then. "I feel bad, but at the same time, I have a pretty sensitive nose, so maybe it's not as bad as I think." If someones asking if they smell- If they ask you, that's your, listen, every once in a while, you'll be with someone who is like they made a recent deodorant
switch or something that's not quite working and they don't get, know that they stink? I typically don't have it in me to say something without them asking, I'll just be honest with you, I'm very non-confrontational in that way, however, if they ask you, that is your, that's the door to walk through, you gotta walk through that door and say, "Yes, you stink, I've been waiting to tell you for weeks, thanks for asking." I feel like we're being really negative, so to put a positive spin on things, I wanna remind you that we have a game, that we have developed, called We're Still Good, it puts a positive spin on
really ridiculous situations. So it might be, "Oh, your friend stinks really, really bad and smells like a, fill in the blank." And then you would grab
one of the word cards, and you would fill it
in with something like. Missing word? Watermelon sports drink. So, if you had a friend who smells like watermelon sports drink- Mutant cockroaches. What might be a positive spin on that? A terrifying Saint Bernard. Oh, if it's a watermelon sports drink? Yeah. I didn't hear the first part. If you had a friend who smelled like a watermelon sports drink, we're still good because? I'm hella thirsty. See? There you go, it's that simple. And you would choose who- It's a lot of fun. You choose who gets the token, get it at walmart.com. With your shoes on. Or with your shoes off at .com, or select Walmart stores. With your shoes on. With your shoes on, to join in on the fun, all right? My best friend, also boyfriend, rubs his legs together while he sleeps, like a cricket. This has caused our sheets
to rip where he does it. Should I tell him? Not much he can do about it." Then that emoji with the shrug. The sheets are ripping? What kind of friction
are we generating here? Should you tell him? Should you try to change him? No, it's just you know, whatever, whatever gets you to sleep. My wife does the cricket legs. I do the cricket feet. But she has never, never broken the sheets. Man, I mean that's aggressive, but like just tell him he's
gotta buy more sheets, next. "My best friend has the weirdest eating combinations. One huge example, that she thinks it's acceptable to sour cream on everything." This seems like it's being used as a verb. Yeah, it sounds like it, which is a totally different thing. "She put sour cream on a cosmic brownie and said it's good." Are you creaming on that? No, I'm sour creaming on it, it comes from a different place. Again, this is totally fine, do what you wanna do with your own food, I am a champion of preferences. Good, that's for sure. I also don't think this is a huge example, that's not that weird. It's not. That actually sounds pretty
good to be honest with you. Yeah. Yeah. Sweet and sour. "You need to wash your hands after you pee because if you touch
the toilet to flush it, your hands are dirty, even if you don't touch your genitals." Yeah. I guess this is, they're talking about
their best friend here. Yeah. Does it end with, "Right?" Because that's where I like, if they're talking about themselves? You're right. It's actually much worse
to touch the toilet than it is your genitals, your genitals are one of the
cleaner parts of your body. That's the Tweeter's point and we agree. "He's always three episodes behind on GMM, but watches it daily, so I can't discuss, but watches it daily, but I watch it daily, so I can't discuss the
fricken episodes with him on the day they come out, I have to wait until he finally
watches it three days later, it infuriates me." Oh man. This feels like- "Hey, let's do a little three
episode marathon tonight." Yeah, you gotta get, you gotta get in sync, just like periods, it's easier that way. Yep, yep. This is not in-relation to periods. "You wanna talk about late? My best friend from first grade has never been on time for anything. Graduations, parties, reunions, my wedding and he was the best man, but he is on time religiously
for wing night on Thursday, put this guy on blast, Rhett and Link." Well, I don't know. Remember how I would be the one, I had this thing about
being late in college with all of our college friends, you know I'd be like, "Hurry up everybody, it's disrespectful, it's disrespectful." And I think I went a little too far, but I was very fixated on like- "Hurry up everybody." Like, give me an example. Anything that- I don't remember this. Every single thing we had to go to, like getting the three roommates, Rhett, Greg and Tim to like mobilize, be like, "Come on, we gotta, we gotta be there, it's disrespectful." Well, I think more than anything and I mean listen, I don't wanna, you know, I'm not a super organized person and I can be late sometimes, I don't think I'm chronically late. Yeah, but all the time? But I do think that lateness is, I'm gonna be more specific about that and I'm sorry to call out your friend, but I would say that more times than not, lateness is about selfishness, right? It's like- It's selfish. It's like, "Whatever you got going on is not as important as me and what I got going on." But you want your wings. And it might be like, "Oh, well it's ADHD or it's this, or it's that." It's like, well maybe in some cases, but in my observation, anecdotally, is that it is
often about selfishness, so you know? This may say more than, especially late for your wedding? Yeah, yeah. I'm more important that everybody else. Yeah, there are times to be late and times not to be late, you know? You can be late perhaps
for wing night on Thursday, that would be an acceptable
place to be late, yeah. Yeah, sorry. "We've been best friends
for a few years now, she lives in North Carolina and I live in Oregon, even with the distance, I know how she eats her Cheetos, she eats them like a corn on the cob and I still can't get over it." You think this is an
acceptable preference? I'll let you speak to it. I gotta come up with something, I gotta come up with doing, eating something in a way that annoys you, so you can see how it feels like. I'm gonna start eating Cheetos like corn. I don't, I just don't, I don't look at people
when they're eating, maybe it's just, maybe you do lots of stuff, but I just don't notice. You feel like that is an acceptable way to eat something in front
of another human being? It's weird. I think you can do that in the privacy of your own home, but why would you like invite someone over and go, "Watch me eat these Cheetos like corn." I don't, I don't know, I gotta stay out of this one. I gotta stay out of this. Just don't, I haven't earned the right. Yeah, it's just tough man, I don't know, honestly I don't, like I said, I don't try to, I don't request that Link changes the way that he does things, I just try to distance, distance myself from him. This should make you feel, I don't do that. But also, we like do a show where
there's lots of eating and so, and some of it is just you gotta just, it's just, you gotta just ignore it, I guess. "He refuses to watch
movies made before 1990, animated Disney films
are the only exception, if it's black and white, it may as well not exist at all." Classy. Why? I understand, sometimes
people really wanna watch really old movies like from the
like beginning of Hollywood- Always a let down. I've always been a little bit like, "Ah, really? It's not gonna be good." But you know what? After, ever since I watched
It's A Wonderful Life and realized it's actually good, having never watched it
until last Christmas. I was like, "Oh, maybe there is something here, maybe they used to make good movies." Yeah, I mean it does come across as a little narrow minded, but I don't know, it really is a question of, how passionate is the Tweeter, the friend about cinema? Well, this is different than eating because this is something you're extensively doing together like, "Hey, let's watch a movie." "Nothing before 1990, unless it's a Disney princess!" You know? Right. Yeah, I think you gotta talk about this, I think you gotta say listen- How important is cinema to you? Yeah. "He doesn't like beans, like what's not to love about them? They can be used and made into a lot of different things, but no, he hates them. It's the pettiest thing
I dislike about him." It's fine, I think that's fine. I mean, I could take or leave beans. I mean, yes he's wrong, but it's okay, people don't have to be right
about everything, you know? You can't expect, you can't expect your friends to have all the right preferences, I mean, that's unrealistic. "They have an Instagram account for every dog they own, except their first one who's 17, toothless and blind, go figure, where they talk as their
dog in a baby voice." So, they voiceover all of their dogs, except for the old one? Except for the one that's not got a good runway ahead of it, you know what I'm saying? He really started
getting traction on that, 17 year old, toothless and blind dog, it's gonna become a memorial
account pretty fast. I mean, I don't think you
have to follow your friend's annoying voiceover dog Instagram accounts. If it's a roommate and they're doing the annoying voices like in the room next to you? That's tough. That's different. If they're like producing these videos in your living space, that might be worth a conversation. Respectfully, unfollow otherwise though. You have an out. And finally, "He's blonde." Stevie, what do you think about this? "He's blonde." You know, there's hair dye. Okay, could you please dye your hair? I don't like it. That feels a little over- I don't wanna reveal the screen name here, but they do have a bean emoji involved and a playful icon, you know what? There's no. You speaking English again? I guess I am.
