- Will we cause destruction
without scientific instruction? - Let's talk about that. (upbeat music) Good Mythical Morning. - Warning, today we're trying to complete crazy scientific experiments without any instructions to guide us. - And this portion of today's episode is sponsored by KiwiCo. - KiwiCo, we love some KiwiCo man,
- Yeah we do. - KiwiCo is defining the future of play, and making it engaging,
enriching, and seriously fun. They create super cool hands-on projects and toys designed to expose
kids to concepts in STEAM. You know what STEAM is. - Yeah, it's the white clouds that come out of cooking pots, man. - That's right, but it also stands for Science, Technology,
Engineering, Art, and Math. - Yes. - We got a couple of
Kiwi boxes right here. Each KiwiCo crate, I'll call it a crate, 'cause that's what it is, is designed by experts,
and tested by kids, to teach a new theme through
hands-on learning and fun. KiwiCo also offers eight subscription lines,
- Yes. - each catering to different
age groups and topics. - KiwiCo has all kinds of fun activities that families can work on together. Shep and I recently worked on this oil and water chemistry set. Look at his little ship
in a bottle that we made. Look at that, look at that. - That's pretty nice, man. You got the stand too? It's complete. All right, Lando and I had fun with the fizzy chemistry lab, and we made father son monsters, using acid and base mixtures
to create the illusion of multicolored monsters on paper. Can you tell which one is mine? - [Rhett] Oh, I thought
they were both Lando's - [Link] Okay. - What's great about KiwiCo activities are the moments of discovery
you share with your kids. In this case, Lando
discovered his artistic skills rival his adult father's. - Yeah.
- KiwiCo lets kids remind us grown ups the
real power of small, because once they learn
to solve problems today, who knows what kids might do tomorrow. - And Hey, the holidays are coming up, so if you're looking for a great gift for a kid in your life, KiwiCo now ships to
more than 40 countries. - And now you can get
your first month free by going to KiwiCo.com/gmm, linked in the description below. Thanks again to KiwiCo for sponsoring that portion of today's episode. - All right, now directions are encouraged for lots of things. DIY furniture, dyeing your hair, baking, but I say, no thanks. In fact, I don't think we need directions for anything anymore. Rhett, which way is north? - Uh, this way. - I think that's right. - Okay, all right.
- Okay, let's get our sense of directions warmed up, because it's time for science without guidance, featuring the Beaker Boys. - Okay, we're gonna be
given the items necessary to conduct a series of
wild science experiments, and we're gonna try our best to figure out what we need to do with
those specific items, in a specific order, to get a specific unexpected
scientific result. - Unexpected?
- Yes. Now there will also be some
decoy items thrown in the mix, in order to try and throw us off, but it's hard to throw us off. You see these guys? - We're always on, never thrown off. - We'll start out with 40 points, and if we can put the
right pieces together for the experiment, if we
can't actually do that, we then can ask for a lifeline. Why would we ask for a
lifeline if we could do it? - Right. But we shouldn't because they cost points. - Steam. - And the more helpful the lifeline, the more points it costs. We're gonna have 10 minutes to figure out each experiment, and if we still haven't cracked it by the time the time is up, that's an additional five point deduction. At the very end, if we don't
have at least 20 points, we cannot be named the Giants of Science, and receive our medals of honor. - So if we do, we can.
- Yes. - Steam. - [Stevie] Okay, Beaker Boys, you must use some combination
of the items in front of you to achieve an amazing scientific result. Your lifelines are as follows, a message from Science Mike Pasley about the scientific principle at play, because Science Mike is on vacation, but Science Mike Pasley's just as knowledgeable, right?
- Okay. - Uh, okay. - [Stevie] That costs one point. Or, I tell you which item is the decoy, that costs two points. Or, I tell you what result
you are trying to achieve, which costs three points, or some combination of all those things if you're doing really horrible. I'm gonna put 10 minutes on the clock, and you're gonna start right now. - First question, what
do you think this is? Is this like a coaster? It's like paper.
- It's a coaster. - It's paper. - But this is what's
gonna happen with that. - Oh, and then we're gonna do this. - Yeah. Now.
- And then. - That's almost assuredly correct. - It's absorbent material. I didn't know if something
from this inky cold stuff would like bleed across
this, and do something cool. - And if this is cold,
and this is a thermos, then there must be hot liquid.
- It is hot. Let's see what's in here. - So there's gotta be some sort of hot and cold liquid mixing to do something. Anything notable? - Well, it smells like,
- Oh, and it's red. - So we got hot red. - And we've got cold blue. - You did that in such a precarious way, it's really scared me. (beep) I think we should
probably get rid of this, but we should probably confirm. - Yeah, because I'm feeling
pretty strongly in this. - I would like to request
that we find the decoy item. - [Stevie] You do not
need the latex glove. - Boom, Rhett. You threw it on yourself. You try to do what I did,
because it doesn't line up. - Hold the top. (glass clanging and beep) - Do you want, you wanna pour the hot? - And does the liquid get
blue when it gets cold? Isn't that what happens to water? - And should the, should
the cold go on top, or the hot go on top? - Heat rises, so heat should go on to the bottom,
- On the bottom. - 'cause we want something
to actually happen. And we should go three
quarters, three quarters. - No, no, no, no, no, no. We should go all the way
- Full? to the top. - No, it's not gonna mix based on air. I've thought of, listen to me, because I feel strongly about this. - Okay.
(crew laughs) - They both need to be
filled up to the top, because if, when you turn
it over and there's air, it's gonna mix, just by virtue of gravity. - Okay. - So we want it to mix
based on temperature. I'll even go all the way over, see? - Now I don't feel like
you should be the one turning the cup over. - I mean, it's in front
of me and it was my idea. - Okay, do it, try it. This show's not about science,
it's about entertainment. Sometimes you know that
something is not going to work, and sometimes you may surprise yourself. - Now I will.
- Hey! - I'll let you be the jerker. - What you have to do is a
lot of horizontal pressure to keep it locked, but not
much vertical pressure, so I can pull it out. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead. - Three, two, one. That's too much. - It's stuck, it's stuck.
(crew laughs) Oh, go ahead, go ahead.
- Three, two. - [Link] You see what's happening? - Purple, we made purple!
- Purple, purple, purple. We made purple!
- Purple! - Is that it Stevie? Did we do it? - [Stevie] Mm, you, here's the thing, you verbally did, but then there was one
part of your execution where you messed up, and I, and I, and I-
- How much time do we have? - [Stevie] You have five minutes left. - Was it when we filled
them up completely. - [Stevie] No. - Well, you. - [Stevie] Think about what you said, and then what you did.
- Oh. The cold needs to go on, we need to do the reverse. (beep) All the way to the top. ♪ Blue and red make purple
if you do it wrong. ♪ - Okay, and that goes back on there. Uh, all right, yep. And hot goes on top, mm hm. Is that getting to a place where it's- - [Link] Soggy, soggy? Okay.
- Okay, and now we do exactly the same thing, but it's not gonna make it purple, it's gonna make a gold nugget. - One pristine gold nugget.
- One gold nugget. (crew laughs) You ready? - [Link] Yep. - Three, two. Oh, it stays, it doesn't make purple! It doesn't make purple, 'cause the heat rises to the top, and the cold is on the bottom! So we've got purple and not purple. - [Stevie] You guys, this is, you've really done it.
(crew applauds) I think this might be the best experiment you've pulled off yet. I mean, we can see if
Caitlin did it any better, but I don't know.
- Yeah, let me, let me see her try. (upbeat music) (crew laughs) Caitlin got some banging
music behind her bit. - [Rhett] You're gonna
start scratching those jars. - [Link] I see where this is going. If she makes a gold nugget, I am gonna punch her in the face. (crew laughs) - Oh, oh.
- It stuck for her. Oh, who's that? (crew laughs) Caitlin got a third hand. I will point out, we did better her,
- We did better, 'cause we did purple first,
- because we demonstrated- - Don't you realize that
you can't appreciate this without the purple first? We did.
- I mean, you also, you also explained scientifically what was happening as well, so I don't even have to do that, so great job all around. - But you know what?
- And you know what, Stevie? We can also do this. Watch, watch my finger. - [Stevie] Okay. (upbeat music) Okay, it's time for
your second experiment. Your lifelines are the same,
and the clock starts now. - Oh. - Now I'm a Beaker Boy, and I will tell you
right now we do not need, Beaker Boys don't need no cucumber. - Oh, well that's what I grabbed. - Well. - I just felt like I needed it. - Yeah, well you-
- Cucumber. - You can have it. - Cucumber, lemon, red food coloring. - [Rhett] A stick. - A wooden Popsicle stick. Steak knife. And what is that? The baking soda? - The reason I don't think we need this, is because there's not
anything very reactive inside of a cucumber. I mean, just look. - Oh, they're just cucumber slices in it.
- You could put them on your eyes though. (Stevie laughs) Aruuugah. (Rhett laughs) We don't- - Hey man, did you just aruuuugah me? - Yeah. - Hey don't aruuuugah somebody without asking permission first, there's gotta be,
- Stevie, can I confirm- - aruuugah consent. - We don't need a cucumber? - [Stevie] You do not need the cucumber. - Yeah, right, okay. - Look at you, you, you know, - I know what you don't need.
- that's your thing. - I know what you don't need.
- You know what you don't need and I know what you do need, lemon juice, not the lemon. So I think, you know what this does? This is a homemade pregnancy test. (crew laughs) (beep) - You're gonna take this
and drop it on there. This is gonna be a reaction of- - Epic proportions. - This is gonna make a
foam, a big red foam, that's much bigger than
you could ever anticipate. - So you're talking volcano? Experiment?
- No, there's no, there's no vinegar, but
there is lemon juice. - I think that might
serve a similar thing. (beep) - And I'm gonna put a few drops on this. - [Link] I'm a little shaky. - [Rhett] I see that. Oh okay, that's nice. - [Link] That looks like blood. - What would make? Yeah let's just do a little bit of this, just to kind of lock it in. - Okay, so you're locking it in, and now?
- And then. - Squeezy.
- Moment of truth, making some gold. - Yep, see, see, see, see, see, see, see, see, see, see, see, see. - It's coagulating. See and we didn't even need anybody. - This is called the great red foam. - Well, we're already being handed- - Oh, and we're being handed more lemons. (beep) - Pasley, come back in here. We need your lifeline, help us out. - Okay guys, when an acid
combines with a base, they neutralize each other. You'll have to keep things moving if you want to see the full
chemical reaction at play here. - Keep things moving?
- Oh, okay, okay. (crew laughs) We're gonna keep this moving. We're gonna make this whole thing explode. All of this baking soda. - With the food coloring? - Oh yes, and then should I mix? - [Rhett] You should go
ahead and get it moving. - Oh, it's clumpy. - [Rhett] Oh gosh, we've
screwed the pooch on this one. - He said keep it moving. All right, Morgan, we in a good spot? 'Cause I want you to see when this golden nugget gets created. - Keep moving. Here we go. Keep it moving. Keep it moving. Keep it moving. (beep) We're making cereal.
- We made cereal. - Here, nom, nom, nom? - Ha, nope. - Nom, nom, nom, I'm gonna go. (crew gasps and screams) - Okay, we need Mike Pasley. Oh he already told us. - [Stevie] Yeah, you only
have one lifeline left. - Oh gosh, that's the worst
thing I've ever seen in my life. - Now I'm just cleaning my
chin, you're on your own. - [Stevie] You can ask me what the result is supposed to be.
- What am I trying to do? - [Stevie] Yeah. If you want to be entertained, consider where the reaction is contained. - [Link] Oh, contain it. - [Stevie] You've tried, you
know what the reaction is, but there's one vessel
that you have not explored having the reaction happen in. - The actual - Lemon.
- lemon itself. You basically create a hole, a lemon hole. Yep, yep, yep, yep,
- You fill that with special things.
- yep, yep, yep, yep. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. - [Rhett] Look at that,
it looks like a flower. - But what does he say
about keeping it moving? We're keeping it moving. - I got it, I got it, I got it. Pour a little bit of this on it, and you just. - [Link] Keep it moving. - [Rhett] Keep it moving. - [Link] Keep it moving. - [Rhett] Keep it moving. - [Link] The man told
us to keep it moving. - [Mike] Keep it moving. - He said it again just
then, keep it moving. Give it a little stir. - Look at that. I'm like a Silver Lake bartender. Stay tuned. - Have you had the bloody lemon? - [Rhett] Look. That is pretty cool. - I'm thirsty. - [Stevie] Okay, I'm gonna
give this one to you, but I definitively know that Caitlin may have done it a little bit better. - Yeah, 'cause she's
got that cool backtrack. (upbeat music) - [Link] Yup, yup, yup. Cutting up lemon.
- Uh huh. - Now she cut. Oh, well look at her. She's creating that lemon juice hole. Oh, and you have done the same thing. Okay. Then what? - I mean, yeah. - So a volcano in a lemon. - A volcano in a lemon. A lemon volcano. - I mean, what we did was- - Cost 17 dollars and 45 cents. - [Stevie] I'm giving you that one. The science, the way it works is, baking soda is a base, which means it contains hydroxide ions. When baking soda comes
into contact with an acid, such as citric acid, a chemical reaction starts, the reaction neutralizes the acid, and releases carbon dioxide gas. As the gas tries to escape
the liquid, bubbles form. - Volcano. (upbeat music) - [Stevie] Okay guys, it's
time for your final experiment. Will you get the queen sweep today? Your time begins now.
- Yes. - Rhett, we have a ball of,
what would you call that? Not yarn.
- String. - And then we have a scotch tape.
- A roll of tape. - We have a tater. - A tater. - And we have, what is this? Some sort of, I think that's magnetized magnets.
- Metal, metal magnets. - Okay, the magnet is
definitely intriguing me. There's also a nail and a box. So first of all, is there anything that jumps
out at you as not belonging? One of these things is not like the other. Totally different. - [Rhett] Do we need the tape? - [Link] I bet we do. - Well we, we have all our lifelines. We can use all our lifelines.
- Okay, good, we should, we should.
- Stevie, what do we need to get rid of? - [Stevie] You do not need the potato. - Okay, so we do need the box. - All right, I think
you gotta use that nail to go through the sides of the box.
- Oh, oh geez. Did you see what happened? I did magic. I know this isn't magic
without instructions, but watch that. - Okay, yeah.
- Look at that. (crew member claps) - Man.
(crew laughs) We're gonna have two things
- Dangle. - on a string, and they're
gonna do something crazy. They're gonna do something crazy, and the nail is just to
poke a hole into the, it's just to poke a hole. They're gonna be far enough
away from each other, they can't stick, and
they're going to be like. - Oh, so we're gonna go like this? - Yes. - Let's put the hole through here, and the hole through here. Let's see, we can use our lifelines. Pasley. We want Paley next? Yeah, let's get Pasley next. Tell us the science behind what we're already on
the right track about. - All right Beaker Boys. - Yep. - When you feel tied down
by the weight of gravity, the balance of gravity,
and magnetic attraction, can be very uplifting. - So, we're going to- - The balance of gravity and attraction. So gravity is pulling down- - And it's gonna be pushing
back up, just like you- - Oh, oh, oh, oh. One's gonna be on the bottom, one's gonna be on the top,
so it's gonna defy gravity. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- And they're gonna try to connect, but there's gonna be like a- - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - We're gonna be able to
put our hand in between. Stevie, tell us our other lifeline, just for confirmation that
we're on the right track. - [Stevie] The result
you're trying to achieve, you'll need a force from above if you want something to float. - Oh, I do.
- Oh, oh, oh, oh. We want the nail to float. - Yes, we needed that, Steve. (crew laughs) I ain't got time to say her full name. - No, no, no, no. - We gotta work on an experiment. (beep) - Tape the nail to this. - But if, if you don't tape the nail, it's that much more amazing. - Well, it's true. But let's just see how
cool it is like this, and then change it. (crew member laughs) Kids? (crew laughs) - We're so close. - Kids, gather round. (beep) You think you can get a nail
to just sit in between them? - Yeah, I think so, I think- - Oh, oh, I think you might be right. It's gonna be like this. This one's gotta be higher,
it's gotta be higher. - Okay. - Now hold that one on the bottom, and it's gotta be, they
have to be very, very close. - [Stevie] You guys have
two and a half minutes left. - [Rhett] This is gonna work. - [Stevie] Okay, but remember what Science Mike Pasley
said about gravity. - So gravity wants to pull down, and we want to pull it up. I think you stick those together, and then you tie the nail to this. - Are you, you're just gonna tie that? - Yeah, but I don't
have fine motor skills, so I'll have trouble
with things like this. (beep) - So then we're gonna. - Yep, mm hm, mm hm, mm hm, mm hm. And then you pull it away. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. And let go. No, let go. Yep, uh huh. Yep, mm hm, uh huh, uh huh. - I'm starting to feel angry. (beep)
- 10 Seconds. - Yep, there it is, there it is. It's floating. It floated, magic. - No, science.
- Science. (crew applauds) - Did we get it?
- I had to ask if we were clapping because you- - Almost got it. - [Stevie] Almost, let's take a look at what was supposed to happen. - Oh, Caitlin again? - Yeah. (upbeat music) - She's hanging out with
Snoop Dog after this. (crew member laughs) She's like in a low rider, she's like cruising down Crenshaw.
- Oh no. Oh, it's so much simpler. Ah, that's how you keep
the thing completely. Ah.
- Ah. - Caitlyn. - You dirty dog, Caitlyn. - You rubbed it in.
- Coming through with the last one. We thought we had your goat. - I don't even think, I don't think the Beaker
Boys did this one, I don't think we deserve it. - Yeah, yeah, shoot. - [Stevie] I mean, the
crew was thinking that you, that you do, but- - Oh, so we could still get medals? - [Stevie] Yeah. - Okay, we still get medals! - Because I want to see about, bring in the medal,
(crew applauds) but I want to see if I can do it. This may just be on my
own time, on my own dime, on my own crime. - Here, let me tape
that to the top for you, just to just make that simpler. - Oh forget it, she did it, you know? We know what-
- But it was literally about to happ, what are you? - Look at that. And it wasn't about to happen, trust me.
- This is what it was like playing with him when he was a kid. - I'm done playing, I'm still angry. But thank you for trying
to smooth things over. - All right, thanks for

the screams when link ate that spoonful of baking soda were perfect lol
I feel like the definition of "science experiment" is beginning to be a bit stretched to its limits lol
The "Okay" Stevie gives Link when he says look at my finger was pure gold.
But the question remains... who hasn't seen their dad taking a dump?
Science Mike Pasley is the goofy professor character I didn’t know I needed in my life.
That professor fantasy that Rhett mentions in More—this isn’t the first time I’ve heard it. Where has he mentioned it before? Ear Biscuits?
As a professor, I have a lot to say about Rhett’s professor fantasy and the seedy side of academia.
