Welcome to Good Mythical More. We ask you your practices
while in the grocery store. Do you do some
stuff you shouldn't? Do we also do those things? First, let's play
What's the Word? We're going to guess
the definition of, I think I know this one
for once, antediluvian. Anti, I don't have my glasses
on, I just have my goggles on. I can't read this. But my eyes are
gonna stay dry. Yeah. You might need. How do you spell it? You might need those goggles. If you know what this word
means, that's a hint, Link. A-N-T-E. It's not anti, it's ante. Antediluvian. I really like the voice
you used, when you were kind of giving your
hint to Link. Link. Linky, you might
need those goggles. So, this is
baby talk. Antediluvian. It means before the flood. Yep. Period before
the biblical flood. Yes, my area of study. Not a joke. So what, what is the,
what was your hint? You might need those goggles. Oh. For the flood that's coming. Don't talk to me like a baby. It's raining a lot. I was literally, just to give
you an idea of how boring my life might be at times,
I was listening to a podcast about this exact subject on
my way into work this morning. This morning? This morning, but there's a. What are the chances? Well, 70 percent cause
that's my area of interest. You know what, it
feels good to say that. I'm gonna start saying
that a lot more. What are the chances? Yeah, maybe it
should be a catchphrase. Tell us, what did you learn? Give us a tidbit of your
antediluvian. Well, the people who are, the
scholars who are studying this, basically, it's
really interesting, right? So, when you look at, I think,
Genesis 3 or 4 when they're kind of talking about this
person invented music and this person did this and this
person did this it seems like they're trying to explain
why we have music and why we have farming and why we have
pastoring and stuff like that. Music? Yeah, there's, you know,
there's like these people who are like the father of
this or the lyre or whatever. A lyre, the
musical instrument. Not someone who
doesn't tell the truth. And then in Genesis 6 there's
the story of the flood. It doesn't make sense to
have this story of the flood inserted into this, that destroys everyone
except one family. If the story of those
other guys coming up with all this stuff was
helping to explain why we have these things today. And it's one of the many
reasons why they believe that the story of the flood was
inserted into a text that never originally had it. And also, all those, that book
is basically a conglomeration of a bunch of different
texts that were going around that they put together. The Genesis 1 creation
account, the Genesis 2 creation account, are two
completely different creation accounts that are put
together, and that's why they are seemingly contradictory. So, it's not that they're
a bunch of liars. It's more that things just
kind of get jumbled up. Right. Yeah. Speaking of that. You want more? I can,
I can keep going. Well, since we're bursting
people's bubbles here. Yeah. I just want to go ahead and
say that this Pet Simulator is just a stuffed animal. That is all the
Pet Simulator is. There's no electronics in it. Do you water it? You don't water it. You don't interact with it. You nothing. It's just a, it's, you can
pretend to have a pet, which I guess is what a plushie is. Easy to take care of, and
there's 12 to collect. And he had a gold tooth. That's pretty cool. Did he, Stevie? I didn't see it. Alright. This isn't necessarily
about what you do wrong in the grocery store. It's more like what,
what are appropriate grocery store habits? And people are very passionate
about this subject because we had like about 20,000
people who wanted to voice their opinion
on all these questions. Yeah, but I am going to tell
them where they're wrong, so. Okay, great. Are you a grocery
store frequenter? I am. You are? It gives me so much anxiety. It's like. I love it. Ranks in my top five. I love it. What about it
makes you anxious? Not if I were, like, if I was
outside of LA, I feel like I wouldn't
have anxiety but you go to a grocery store in LA. And it's like, I feel like
I'm fighting for my life. Like it is a battle. Like it's like. Yeah, it depends
on where you go. And. It's like, there's a
snowstorm coming on North Carolina and everybody. Exactly. You hit Whole Foods
at the wrong time. It's like the entire produce
section is wiped out. You're like going behind
the people stocking things like, excuse me, but I
need to grab this before. And the
aisles are narrower. It's so, yeah. You can't move
your cart around. So you always have one aisle. North Carolina, you can go
four carts wide. There's nobody in the
aisle anyway, so it doesn't really matter. Okay.
I understand. Let's get to it. So, we asked how much
time do you typically spend in a grocery store? 48 minutes. Okay. So, you're saying, we gave some
banned options, but okay. I think there are some very
quick trips and then there are some very long trips. I think 48 minutes is
at the very high end of a long, laborious trip. No, I think that's
the average. Well, let's say it's
your weekly trip. I think that's what
people were thinking. I think that would be a
really inefficient trip. I mean, like,
what's happening? You gotta take the cart
back because you got a squeaky wheel or something? No, you're just buying stuff. You have a family. You're buying stuff. What's the banneds? I wouldn't know
anything about that. Zero to 30, 30 to
an hour, 1 to 2, 3 plus. The banneds are too wide,
because I think people are gonna pick a 30 to an hour,
but I think the average is actually 27 minutes. It's not. It can't be. I mean, you can't
fill up a cart in less than 30 minutes. No, I'm saying, I'm not talking about
that one weekly trip. I'm talking about. That's what we're
talking about. I'm talking about, what about
when you just want a stick of gum? Why do you take
27 minutes? Well, go to Walgreens! No, because I'm
getting an average! Go to a gas station. Those 3, 4, 5 minute
trips, sometimes you just want a magazine. Sometimes you don't even
go in, you just go right back and get a magazine. You go to Ralph's to
get a stick of gum? Okay, 30 to an hour, that's
what most people said. Yeah, most people
said 30 to an hour. But they were thinking 48. Second was 0 to 30. Zero people voted for
three plus hours, which makes a lot of sense. That's too many hours. But those coupon women,
or men, coupon people. Or Costco. I mean, you could,
you could build a day out of Costco, really. Three plus hours. What would have to happen
to you to get in a grocery store situation for
three and a half, maybe a couple of really unexpected
deep conversations? You could, you could slip on
something that spilled and. Get hurt and you have to sit
there for a paramedics. They could treat you there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, next one. Which day is best
for grocery shopping? Okay, here we go. Definitely a weekday. Probably Tuesday. Monday everyone's like, I
got to get the week started. Too crowded. Tuesday. There's still stuff
on the shelves. You can get, you can
orient your week. When do they restock? What's the typical restock? But, if you have
a full time job. If you go on Monday,
everything's cleared out. You really, like, you're
probably gonna wanna make this a weekend thing, but
who wants to take up their weekend with grocery shopping? Yeah, unfortunately
that's, what's the best day versus the, is what
we're talking about now. Tuesday's the best day. We asked
what the best day was. Tuesday's the best day. I think Thursday because
you're thinking about the weekend and what you're
gonna need to get, so you don't have to go back. Not a bad answer. But I might be a little
too hungry on Thursday. Okay, so I think we're thinking the same thing. The Mythical Beasts were
not, because they chose Sunday, which is like the
worst day you could go. In terms of crowds. In terms
of crowds, yeah. But I think maybe they go, they're
not in overpopulated areas. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Boy, does that
sound nice, huh? You know, Tokyo is an
overpopulated area. Yep. Yep. Yep, yep, yep. I don't do it anymore. I don't do it anymore. I don't do it anymore. I don't do it anymore. You don't do it anymore? I didn't say it for
you to do it, by the way. Because I know you don't do
it anymore and you never did. Right. - I just learned.
- I think I did it once. I just recently learned that
Tokyo is the most populated, largest city on the planet. I didn't, I didn't know that. I didn't know that. Yeah, Link.
That's true. Is it true? You see, he didn't
know that either. Thought it would be like a
Chinese or an Indian city. I thought it was. I know. Where'd you learn that? Is that true? We're trying to fact check. James is nodding. We try to fact check every
episode, though. When we were kids it was
Mexico City, because I remember that being a
trivia question, and then it changed at some point. It's Tokyo. Delhi's number two. Time of day. Dallas is number two? Delhi. Not Dallas. Delhi. Not New Delhi, but just Delhi. See, I bet shopping
in, grocery shopping in Dallas is easy. Shopping in Fallas is easy. Okay. Oh, isn't that? Hold on. Isn't Fallas a grocery store? Go on. Go on. I know what he's
talking about. F-A-L-L-A-S. - Fallas.
- I think I've seen this. Isn't it? That's not the spelling
I was thinking of. I think it's "Fal-las" Fallas. Hey, Fallas, let's go. It's, is it a, it's a
Spanish grocery store. Fallas. Fallas. Okay. Fallas. Fallas. Shopping in Fallas. You guys, I'm really
being misinterpreted today. Yeah, well. It's "Fal-las", right? "Fal-las" Yeah, yeah, yeah. "Fal-las". "Fal-las"? Well, cause it's two L's. Two L's in Spanish
is a Y sound. Time of day. Time of day, we're saying. Time of day at the grocery shop. Well, y'all got
me all thrown off. You're on Sunday, so
you're already in Sunday. Middle of the day is what
y'all say because you don't want to get up. Let me think about what
I would actually say. And then I'll think
about what you would say. They stock the
shelves at night. So there is a, there is
a technical answer here. And that is the morning. The morning is when you will
have the best selection. All the stuff in the bakery
section will be fresh. The meats will be fresh. They set all that
stuff out very early. If you go at the end of the
day, you got slim pickings, the stuff's not as fresh. You're not too hungry. You're not too hungry. The definitive correct,
objectively true answer is the morning. 9 A.M.
on a Sunday. They said the morning. I'm gonna have to miss Sunday
school, but I had to go to the grocery store, you know? 50 percent of y'all shopping
on Sunday morning instead of going to church and
learning about the flood. Okay. They're probably giving
you the wrong information there, so, you should
be listening to more podcasts anyway. This one's tough. Is it better grocery shopping
alone or with someone? Cassie has an
answer for this one. Well, yeah, because you're
so anxious, she doesn't want to go with you. Stevie, stay in the car. I'll crack the windows. Does not like going with me. When Cassie leaves you in
the car, does your new car have that, like, dog mode? What is that, where
the AC comes on? You can leave your pets in. When you leave your
partner in the car, is there a partner mode? Well, she also doesn't like riding in a
car with me, so. Okay. Don't worry, she's in
there on dog mode. And people walk by and
see you in there and it's on the screen and
it says, don't worry, my owner is coming back. Right. I'm also like, I'm a
grocery person who's like, what do we need? She's a grocery person that's
like, that looks cool! Yeah, me and Cassie should
shop together! And so, I preferred if I don't
go, because more fun things come back. My grocery shopping's boring. Looks like three hours. I think, I wanna go alone. I think it's easier if
you're alone, but if you have someone else there
and you are in sync, you can divide and conquer. I have, I'm an AirPods in
the grocery store guy. Really? Yep. You've been doing
that a lot lately. Multiple times when we
recently traveled on a plane, I would try to talk
to you like after the plane landed or as the plane was
taking off and every time you're like, like a teen. I'm like trying to talk to a
teen, you gotta keep cutting off like. You're listening
to music while you're skiing, which is dangerous. You're listening to music
while you're mountain biking, which is also dangerous. Like a teen, man. I'm listening to music
when you're talking to me, which is not dangerous. Yeah. Is he talking to me? I think that they said alone. It was close, but yeah. Yeah. But yeah. Look at how close that was. With someone. If you're dating somebody
and it's, you know, like, let's go shopping together. Grocery store dates are good
early in the relationship. Yeah, because you're
pretending to be more serious than you are. First six weeks of a
relationship, nothing as great as shopping together
at the grocery store. Well, I would. We went into week seven. First six weeks? Some of the
surprises worn off. I would say Walmart or Target,
but I wouldn't say grocery. No, no, no. Grocery is a real test. That's like meeting
the parents. Grocery is great. Grocery shopping's great
those first six weeks. But you don't live together. You gotta set the parameters. Like, if it's a date, grocery
shopping, it can be fun. Cause it's like, you're
shopping for a single meal or a single night experience. Yeah, there you go. But for a week. Yeah, it gets a little
serious if it's like, I'm doing my weekly shopping. But yeah, shopping for a meal
that you're gonna go make. Date gimmick shopping. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Try it out, try it out. That's nice. There's a Starbucks
in some of them. It's true. That's true, Link. Share a little beverage. I've seen those. There's a beer
in some of them. You can have a bar. I mean, there's a
bar in some of them. You can have a beer. There's a beer. Hey, there's a beer in
some grocery stores. In fact, one time I walked
around in that corner, I saw a whole aisle of them. I say one thing backwards. Here we are. Should you bring
reusable bags or? Yes! Paper plastic bags. You should bring reusable! In our state, they
charge you for the bags. Is that every state now? Nope. It's not Florida,
I'll tell you that. Yeah. Florida, they give you extra. But what do you
think everybody said? Everyone said the right
and responsible thing. And they said reusable. Yeah, actually not
everyone, but like a good portion of people did. But they don't do it, they
just think they should. I'll be honest with
you, I've got the reusable ones in my car. Right, and you remember it. And I remember it
when I'm in the store. Right. But then I use the
plastic bags that I get. For what? All kinds of stuff. I've put multiple things. I've, I used it as a laundry
bag while traveling one time. Like for wet clothes? A bathing suit bag. Yes. I've used it for,
when you, sometimes you got your toiletries and your
a little bit, you got like a new thing in your toiletry
bag and you're like, I don't know if this is gonna leak. Ever since my hair product leaked all
over your clothes and ruined them in 2007. Oh, that's what happened. I thought it was just
a choice that Link made Get, that was a dig about
Link's clothing choice. Wow! - Wow.
- I didn't say anything. I still feel bad about this
because. It was so greasy. We were taking a little trip. Hair grease. And I had, I used at the time I used
a pomade that was a very greasy pomade that
apparently, when it got hot, it turned into liquid. And, it fell right
out and went all over. He had packed all
his favorite shirts. In your suitcase. Why did we share a suitcase? Because you, yeah,
that's right. It was your fault. You were being cheap. What? Yeah, so technically, now that
I've revisited this. I don't know why
we shared a suitcase. I think we had a suitcase
with equipment in it. And then we had a, and
we didn't want to, we didn't want to pay for
another bag or something. I don't remember. I think we did that. Did you ever get it? Did? No. Did you ever get any of this? Did you get stuff
out of those? It didn't ruin every shirt. It probably ruin three. Most everything. - Three shirts.
- Most everything. Alright, one last one. Make it, make it count. Should you start grocery
shopping in the produce section, snack section,
frozen section, or wing it every time? Well, the. You want to end in the,
anything that needs to remain frozen or cold, you end
the trip with that, right? So give me the choices again. Produce, snack,
frozen, or wing it. You start in snack. Snack is in the, not
the, it's not on an end. I go, in my grocery store, I
go to, I read it like a book. I go to the left. You go to the left? You go in the left door then. Whatever door I go in, if
I go on the right door, I go around that way. In my grocery store. If I go on the left side,
I go in on the left side. Left is breads. Yeah, left is breads. We have the same
grocery store. And then I just, and
then I move, and I. Never seen you there. Because you don't go. Because I don't go. But you gotta sort
of, you do end up hitting some meat in the back. And. Stop for your
meat hitting part. And then, and meat,
so it's actually okay. What you don't want is
you don't want something that needs to stay frozen. Okay. It doesn't matter. I always go to the right. And usually always to the
right is the produce section. And there is an overwhelming
response for this, which is the produce section. And I think that's because
people usually start on the right and go around. In our grocery store. It's like a book. The produce section is
kind of middle right. Yeah. But it is on the right. The far right is, - Liquor.
- Beers. Beers. They're over there,
and the far left is breads. Yeah. I guess I have noticed as
I'm going, as I'm lapping my grocery store, that I
am going against traffic. A lot of this. - Only thing.
- It feels good though, thing I do in a grocery store is
I walk back and forth in front, in the aisle, right
in front of the checkout. And I read the signs. And then, when I get to the
end, I turn around and I read the signs the other way. And then when I get back
to the beginning, I read the signs a third time. And then I ask somebody
to help me find what I've been looking for. That's how I grocery shop. Because I'm sent
to get something. Right, and then what happens
with me is like I'll lose my mom, and then I'll start
walking down the aisles and looking in every single
aisle, like, where is she? And then I start
panicking, and I'm like, oh crap, where's mom? And then I'm like, should
I talk to an adult? And then I'm like, no,
and then I go down, I look on every aisle again, and
I'm like, how is she hiding? Where is she? Is she on the end? And then I go to the other
end, and I walk along the ends, look down every
single aisle, and then I really start to panic. Right. And then I go up to
the top, and I'm like, I can't find my mom. And then they're like,
Diane McLaughlin, your son is at the front. And then she comes up there,
and usually I get spanked. And then you hit the
meat in the back. She hits, she hits
the meat in the back. I was gonna say that, but
my other jokes bombed. Now every kitchen can
