Empower you to have a voice here on the. internet and amongst this community of. mythical beasts if if I may so what. we've done over the past few weeks is. we've said give us your mythical. perspective your opinion matters it. matters give us your your opinion about. something and that will dictate the. conversation that we will have on Friday.

just like today but we've decided. actually for next week to kind of put. some more parameters so that maybe we. can thematize and Corral the mythical. Beast a little bit we're going to kind. of Corral the mythical Beast back him. into a corner and make him come to a. decision about something right so we're. interes we're going to give you a prompt. so for next week we want to talk about. handshakes versus fist bumps fist bump. versus hand Shake in the comments below.

give us your argument now we will call. from those to discuss next week are we. clear does that make sense yeah we'll. you know we'll cover it again at the end. for the mythical beasts who are doing. something else right. now but right now we're just going to. take some mythical perspectives in more. of a general sense this week uh nicator. 20 that's 20 on the end of nicator. tweeted at us ret link # GMM uhuh my.

perspective onions should be genetically. altered to make people laugh rather than. cry mythical. onions okay I I like the sentiment I. feel as if it's probably impossible. because the thing that makes onions. makes you cry is some sort of like. chemical that's coming up and getting in. your eyes and irritating your eyes I. can't imagine something that would come. out of an onion that would make you. laugh well I.

to to me it's not even is it possible. even if it were possible I'm I'm pretty. concerned about going down that path. because I think what makes an onion. taste like an onion is also the thing. that makes you cry I think they're. probably one and the same thing I don't. even care what it is I don't even know. what it is some kind of chemical but. it's a chemical and it it's what makes. an onion taste the way it does if you. change that then it's no long it just. looks like an onion but it doesn't taste. like one it tastes like happiness onions.

shouldn't taste like happiness they. should taste like onions he said he. wanted to make he wanted onions to make. you laugh versus cry they say and I. don't know if this is true I think this. might be a myth it might be a trick you. play on somebody to just get them to. like a fool they say if you cut an onion. in half and put half of it on top of. your head while you're cutting onions it. won't make you cry is that true but are. you just messing with me right now or. sight your. Source you're messing with me no you're. making it up you're trying to play the.

trick on me right now I think it was. Julia Child that told me about this I. don't think there's an s on of her name. she's not don't pluralize Julia no no no. this is a different person oh really. this is Julia Child's she has a she's a. very very it's a she's a niche cook she. just Cooks onions you people try that. you people try that and let us know I. think that the you're again but even. besides taste you're taking away the. beauty of the onion if you take away the. crying I mean going through the.

emotional upheaval associated with tears. falling while cutting something that. you're preparing is part of the. experience that makes it so great not. even just in taste but it's part of the. experience don't strip that away they. probably are some mushrooms that will. make you laugh after you consume them. though but see that's a drug so I think. he's actually saying let's make onions. in illegal drug you like onions yeah. love them I I think it's a It's a grand.

thought it's a grand sentiment people. have been getting all over us especially. me La last couple episodes saying I'm. poo pooing on everyone's ideas listen if. you got a good idea I'll let you know. keep them coming well here's another one. lore. rascas Les. rascas at 10:16 a.m. via the web said I. get this is copy and pasted from. Facebook a time stamp it says it says. via the web uh at R link read can make.

you become more serious and take less. jokes than if you don't read so. basically what Les is saying is. that the more you read the more you're. stripped of your sense of humor let's. call Lavar Burton up and ask him if this. is true I lavard doesn't really strike. me as a funny person he's very likable. but he's very serious he is very serious. because he's read all those books he is. and he he was also in Roots so once. you're in Roots it's kind of hard to be. you like you can't have a comedy career. after that right but you can you can.

have a kid's book reading career okay. and the association with butterflies you. know I think that might sap your. sensitive humor more than actually. reading don't spend a lot of time around. butterflies if you want to be funny I I. personally am am very afraid of. butterflies because butterflies are in. the song The Jingle for Reading Rainbow. which we actually have covered on. YouTube at some point you could find. that okay so Lavar Burton isn't very. funny he reads a lot of books uh there's. that's a little a little bit of.

anecdotal evidence for this guy's Theory. I think in general Les is his name Les I. think Les is just not a reader himself. and it's just trying to to justify he's. like he's like no Mom I can't read. because I won't be funny anymore if I. read if I read too much study show I. won't be funny anymore his opinion CHS. you know I I like to think that I try to. be funny I'll at least give myself that. much credit and I also don't do a lot of. reading just being honest so you know.

maybe there's maybe there's a. correlation maybe I'm maybe I'm. supporting evidence for this thing if. you consider me remotely funny right but. I read a lot and I'm funnier than you so. this. is you know there's there's evidence in. both both places well you know it is. funny not funny haha but funny H that I. remember back in the day of elementary. school remember when the bookmobile. would come yeah to the house to the. house to the to the school yeah did you.

guys have book mobiles this is basically. when a big truck that books kind of like. a blood mobile but when you go into it. you don't give blood you get books you. know and it would pull up it would back. up to the library and then it would just. spurt out all of these books into the. library and you'd walk through the. library when it was your time to do your. library thing and you would look at the. books and and they had set up special. shelves with the books on them and it. was like you going to Library you know.

you're going to see books but now. there's more books and there's. interesting books and there's book but. you don't check these out you buy these. books you buy the books you buy the. books you know what we're talking about. and you could probably give blood. somewhere accidentally at least right if. the books were sharp but we did I I. remember incidentally one of the things. that we did for some reason you know. we've been best friends well for some. reason we've been best friends for a. long time I I can't explain it but yeah. you know where I'm going with this but. what we would do I don't know what we. would buy the same book like there's two.

of us I could have read one and like giv. you a report and you could have read one. but what we would do is we would go. around and we would find the book that. we would both then buy and here's my. point one of the first the first ones I. remember buying was a book called Snappy. put downs and funny insults oh yeah it. was a book about jokes now what you're. telling me less is that if I read this. book I would become less funny well you. know what you're kind of right these I. the one joke that I remember was.

are you a man or a. mouse well that's fun that was it that. really ends the conversation once you. bring that one out that was a that's. what they call a Snappy put down I maybe. in 1923 I don't think that was a funny. insult I remember you know it was a kids. book so they didn't want to do anything. that was actually are you a man or a. mouse and that's the one you remember. yeah yeah that's not funny at all I. don't remember the book I remember you. know I had an older brother you're an. only child so you didn't have the. opportunity to be insulted constantly. and have someone kind of hold their pin.

you down and like drip their spittle on. you then pull it back up and constantly. accuse you of liking girls that you. didn't like things Big Brothers do yeah. so my brother would get me so upset that. the reason I got the snappy put Downs. book is so in the midst of him insulting. me I could recall one of these Snappy. put Downs the problem was every time we. got into a fight I would recall. something like are you a man or a mouse. and then he would drip spittle into your. face and he' be like what are you. talking about that that was horrible.

well that was a that was a Snappy put. down so a little bit more a little bit. more evidence for Les's perspective. reading makes you unfunny H okay Gil. swayy I love your last name g I called. her Gil but her name is. Gail Gail Gil says grocery stores should. be organized in alphabetical order. rather than by category so you don't. spend forever looking for the quote item. without a category unquote I.E french.

fried onions well listen I I got to. admit that organizing the grocery store. in a way that I could wrap my mind. around is not a bad idea because when my. wife sends me out to the I definitely I. get sent out on trips you know I want. you to go out I want you to get a b c. and d she gives me the little like a. voyage you take a ship and everything. and I am completely overwhelmed when I. get in there if you could see an. overhead map of my journey through the. grocery store for like five items it. would like spell my name in cursive and.

come back it's like I it's totally I'm. going all over the place I don't want to. ask for help because of Pride same way. for me man I'm looking at the the board. up there it doesn't have what I want on. it if it's not on one of the signs at. the front of the aisle like peanut. butter cereals flour sugar if it's not. on that I'm not getting it I will never. find it if it's not on the placard it's. not going in my car you got something. like tomato I will not go down an aisle. because it it I'm just struck with fear.

well it's not that intimidating yeah I. just you know I've gotten lost in there. looking for oh she sent me to get tomato. paste and so I'm like okay tomato paste. is that a canned. vegetable or is that in the sauces is it. in the spices the sauces is it in the. vegetable nether it's like in its own. section but it's not on the pl and but. it doesn't say tomato paste up on the. board you have to ask the the guy there. and he's like oh a 7 I think he he. doesn't know half the time but the. problem with doing it all in.

alphabetical order is you would start. breaking up all the food that needs to. be refrigerated or. frozen you know and you can't do that. you got to put everything that needs to. be treated in a certain way in one place. right yeah it's probably not a viable. suggestion but we like the I like the. cin behind it I just think there needs. to be somebody who greets you at the. door at a grocery store and it's like. especially if it's a guy coming in it's. like sir what can I help you with give. me your list yeah dude and and then he. just takes you around and shows you. where everything is okay for next week.

we're going to discuss fist bump versus. handshake go ahead and make your. argument your compelling argument in the. comments below as I spin the wheel we. are ending this episode thanks for. contributing your mythical perspectives. uh fun fun to talk about they are and as. they're coralled we'll be able to. channel even more energy into reaching. some conclusion presidential debate you. know we're in in an election year and. here in the United States and so there's. a lot of press about.

nominees and debates and let's let's. debate one another in closing I'd like. to say that if I get your vote that I. promise that the grocery store placards. will say everything that is on the aisle. every single thing my candidate has made. I mean my uh what do you call my. opponent I'm sorry I'm my opponent has. proven today that reading makes you. unfunny he's he look he's funny looking.

I kind of sound a little bit like a mix. of Barack Obama and mint Romney I'm. sorry I don't know where that's coming. from I just happen to watch a lot of. Television a lot of cable news and I. want to say that uh his best comeback. his best put down in this debate so far. was you heard it 17 minutes ago are you. a man or a mouse I don't know where it. came from it sucked don't vote for a man. who can't insult another candidate I. think he just said that I'm the winner. of this debate and I gladly accept and I. don't don't know if I'm going to give. you a handshake or a fist bump we'll.

decide next week and we will see you. next week have a good weekend.
