- What happens when you leave a watermelon in Red Bull for three months? - Let's talk about that. (upbeat music) - Good Mythical Morning. - Once upon a time, in
1982, an Austrian dude traveled to Thailand and drank
a popular energy drink there that was called Red Gaur. Now a gaur is a wild
cow in southeast Asia, and don't get your hopes
up, they ain't red. So anyway, this Austrian
dude partners with the Thai company that makes Red Gaur to make a version for
Austrian ski bunnies, and called it Red Bull. - And then, in 2020, two
southern dudes in Burbank commissioned their team
to leave random things soaking in Red Bull for one month, which then became three months! Sadly, there were no Austrian
ski bunnies involved. They left these specimens on the shelf that they leave things on, or as they like to call it, The Shelf That we Leave Things on. - We've done Coke, bleach, air, Guinness, salt, pool water, nail polish remover, mouthwash, champagne, shamrock
shakes and Irish whiskey and 93 Infiniti G20,
Marie, what is that word? - Margarita. - Margaritas, dirt, wine, glow sticks, and even citric acid, but today, we're going through more Red Bull than a college dorm room on exam week, it's time for Left on a
Shelf, Red Bull edition. All right, you know how this goes, we're gonna be presented
with an item, or items, that have been left in a
jar filled with Red Bull, and then we'll be presented
with multiple choices of what could've happened to that item. - And like we said, we
usually do this for one month, but thanks to quarantine,
this stuff has been marinating in Red Bull for three months,
who knows what could happen? - If we can guess what happened
in at least three rounds, we'll get to make like a
bull and wear septum rings and bull horns in Good Mythical More, and you know we wanna do that. And if we don't guess three correctly, we'll have to wear septum
rings and bull horns in Good Mythical More. - We win either way, let's do this. All right, three items, Gushers, Skittles, and an Uncrustable. - Oh, man, that is tempting, you see that and you just
wanna bust that thing open. - Okay, which snack shattered
into a million little pieces like me that time I decided to eat at a Mexican restaurant off
the highway called "El Foodo." Oh, sorry, I thought it said "shatted," now I see it says "shattered." Either way I definitely shatted,
this is Stevie, by the way, Stevie, come in. - "This is Stevie, by the way." - [Stevie] I've changed
the name of the restaurant to protect the restaurant,
I don't know why I'm protecting the restaurant, but this is a very true story. - Shattered into a million pieces, first of all, a Uncrustable's
not gonna shatter. Shatter's a weird word
for leaving something, because it implies that
an explosive thing. - The most brittle, hardest
thing is the Skittles, but I think they would
just lose their color, and I think that it would then just be whatever's on the inside of Skittles. But three months, maybe they just used the term shatter because Stevie wanted to make a shatted joke. - I think she did. - And really what they
were saying is it just broke apart into a million pieces, and that's the Uncrustable. - We're going with the Uncrustable. - Hah, we got you, Stevie! - All right, so let's see. - Well the Uncrustable
is completely intact. Stevie, you got us! - All right, so let's
open this Uncrustable. - 'Cause it's still good. - [Link] Okay, so we've
got this, this tongs. - [Rhett] Oh, you're gonna,
oh, you're breaking it. Oh, you're ruining it. - No, I'm not. I can get this thing out and
I can keep it in one piece. This is a new game,
keep the Uncrustable... - In two pieces. Smell it. - Ooh, look at that, that doesn't look as tasty
as it does originally. Lot of peanut butter. - Oh, that still smells real nice. - [Link] What's the next one here? - That's Skittles. Skittles broke into a million pieces, man. - [Link] Ain't nothing in there. - And then Gushers look
like they may have settled. - Whoo, smell of that. - Oh, it's so fruity!
- That's good. - I mean there's not a
hint of rot in there. It's just good. - And oh, this one's got mold. - [Rhett] Go for it. - [Link] Gushers, do
Gushers, (garbles "Gushers")? - The Gushers, are Gushers still there? - Look at that, there's some Gushers. - [Rhett] Gushers stayed the Gusher. - Now, I don't know if
that's mold, or just gelatin, but I'm gonna eat it either way! - So did they-- Mm, that smells a little off, so did they shatter too,
what was the, we were wrong. - [Stevie] No, it's the
Skittles, the Skittles shattered. - Skittles shatter. Look at that little watermelon. Okay, how do we get this in a jar? All right, did the watermelon become surrounded by mold like my collection of "Daddy Likes Things Damp" magazines, what? Or, swell and crack like Octo-Mom? Remember her? - What happens to a watermelon, man. Mold, definitely mold, man. - Lots of sugar in the
Red Bull, makes gross-- - Remember when Science Mike was here, and he knew things? - Yeah, we gotta get him back! We gotta get that knowledge back in here! All right, we're going
with surrounded by mold. - Moldy moldy melon. Moldy melon for the win! - [Link] Oh my gosh. - Okay, hold onto your
horses, that's a moldy melon. - Oh, look at that, look at that. You're touching it with your beard. Your beard is touching the mold. Look, it's just a colony. - Give me another tray. - You're gonna try to take it out? - I'm not gonna try, there
is no try, what is it? - Do or do not, there
is no moldy watermelon. - Squeeze, oh, look how
much melon there is, oh, it's like an iceberg,
look how much melon there is below the surface, I didn't even see that. I think I have to pierce it. I gotta pierce it, and then expand. - [Link] You've pierced the whole melon? - And then pull, oh! - Now grab, half in, half out? - Yeah, yeah, I got, hey, melon man! Hands off my melon, man. Oh, oh, look inside, oh! - This is something that
would be in a freak show, man. - [Rhett] Like the Boise Creek Elementary School haunted house? - [Link] This was a human head. - [Rhett] This is a brain, heh heh. - I mean that does look, oh my gosh, look at all of that mold! - Okay, it's starting to
stink, but we were right. For this round we've got hard boiled eggs, raw eggs, and peanuts in the shell. - And just a quick reminder,
if you've never checked out the Mythical Society,
we want you to do that, we're super proud of all the

everything we have to offer and then join a tier from there, because we wholeheartedly
believe it's worth it, MythicalSociety.com/app
to check out the app. - Okay, let's see what our options are for what happened to the
eggs, eggs, and peanuts. Which one stayed in its shell like Janet Jackson's less famous nipple? - That one's been jealous
for all these years? - Which one stayed in its shell? - The hard-boiled eggs
here don't have a shell, but in here they have a shell. - They do, right, that's a trick, I was gonna see if you
could pick up on that. It's a trick. - As we think about the Red
Bull penetrating the shell... - Yeah, penetrating the
shell, as you were saying? - That was it. - I don't think that
there is a discernible, I'm gonna take my time here, difference between the
shell of a hard-boiled egg and a not boiled egg. To me it feels like-- - One's been heat treated. - One's been heat treated, but I feel like whatever happened to the hard boiled happened to the regular egg. But you think a peanut shell is gonna break down in Red Bull? - I think this is permeable. - Permeable? - Yeah, I'm thinking, ooh, that was good, gulp, got all that down. - What are you thinking,
what are you thinking? Tell me what you're
thinking about penetration. - Peanut. - I also agree, I think it's the peanut. - Me three, let's check it out. - Oh no, which one? Hold on, it was which
one stayed in its shell. So we said peanuts, we were right! We were unintentionally right, which is about half the time on this show. But we were right about
what happened to the, we were exactly wrong, but the same thing happened to both eggs,
I was right about that, but I was wrong about what happened-- - Nothing happened to these peanuts. I mean, with a boiled
peanut, the shell gets soft, but with these, even after
three months, the shell, it's not any different. Now the peanut itself is... - [Rhett] I think you
should try that peanut, because you put a peanut in, you ever had peanuts in Coke? - [Link] That is a white peanut. - Eat it. White peanut, that was my
nickname in high school. - I agree with that. - "I agree with that." I agree with that, I was there. - The raw egg, there's
some funk floating on that. Our tongs are gone, huh? Tong, tatong tong gone. All right, and then... There it is, with the hard boiled egg. - [Rhett] I can smell that,
that doesn't smell nice. So Red Bull has some
sort of acidity to it. - [Link] And we need to cut this open. - Citric acid, hah! Gotcha, Red Bull. Yeah, be careful, since you're not allowed to go to the emergency room. - That is hard to cut, too. Yes, everyone's nervous. - Watch yourself, man,
don't hurt yourself! That's a big yolk. - Now here's all the shell down in here. - Big yolk was my other
nickname in high school. - What happened to all that-- - White peanut, big yolk,
which one's coming, both! - [Link] Why did it, I
mean is there, oh, god. - Oh, egg sac, oh, yolk sac! - I thought that was just the egg, but... - Yolk sac, hey, let's
just celebrate the fact that we were right. - You know, with the
advent of the whiteboard, chalk has really lost a lot
of its luster, and demand. Lot of chalk floating around. I don't really hold chalk that often. Wait, I'm not feeding you! That's where we've come to on this show, anything I put close to you,
you think I'm feeding you. All right, oh, that's,
should I not write on that? Oh, I broke the chalk, and
that doesn't really write well. - [Rhett] Yeah it does,
once you get it going. - Okay, question mark,
what happens to the chalk when you soak it in Red
Bull for three months? When I try to spell the word
trouble on the chalkboard, will the chalk, oh, we've got actually, I messed it up, okay, Imma
stick with the procedure, here we go, when I try
to spell the word trouble on the chalkboard, will
the chalk crumble apart like my mom's famous
scones that she made for me after my prom, maybe I should've gone out and lost my virginity like
everyone else was doing. Either way, I shatted. It's Stevie again, by the way. - Okay, thanks Stevie, thanks. - [Stevie] This is all true, all these jokes are true.
- Or, spell trouble, like an employment contract
with Ellen DeGeneres? - Oh, hey, whoa, shots fired! Okay, this is good chalk,
first of all, good job, guys. I can tell it's good chalk. - Chalk is porous, it's gonna
get some Red Bull in it, and then it's gonna be very crumbly. - And then it's gonna write red. - Or is it just gonna spell "trouble"? Is it gonna stay intact? - I think, I believe that
it is going to deconstitute. I believe it is going
to crumble, my friend. Oh, what? You gotta go with me now. - I can do that. - Hey, don't try again, that's it. - All right, so we said crumble apart. - We said crumble apart,
that's what we say. - Ooh, there's some mold floating on top. You wanna tong it? Now, I don't have gloves
'cause I got rid of mine. Just hand it to me,
I'll, oh gosh, there's, you got, get that off! - Just grab the moldy piece, man, mold saved the world. Ever heard of Penicillin, bro? - I've heard of it. All right, so here we go. - Crumble, that's a crumble. I mean it crumbled, but
hey, that's nice cursive. - [Link] That's nice, isn't it? - [Rhett] It's almost like a paste. - I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E. - And it just stayed
there, it really stinks. Hey, all I know is that
we're winners today, we got three out of four. - Which means we get the same thing we would've got if we lost! - Also, we left Link's glasses
in Red Bull for three months. - Ah, the Red Bull gave my glasses wings. So that's where those have been. - All right, thanks for
