- What happens when you drink a day's worth of caffeine in 10 minutes? - Let's talk about that. (upbeat music) Good mythical morning. - Okay, you clicked on this video because you want to see
two middle-aged man-boys push their caffeine levels to the max by drinking as much Red Bull
as they technically can, according to the FDA, all in one sitting, and our message to you is twofold. First of all, what is wrong with you? And secondly, we got you, boo. - Now this well-oiled but not
currently oiled man machine runs on coffee and I'm not
talking about that weak crap. And normally I drink it at
steady and balanced intervals throughout the day and it gives me just the right amount of pep that I need. - Well, today there ain't
gonna be nothing steady or balanced about what we're gonna do. It's time for what we
grow wings or go insane when a whole bunch of caffeine
courses through our veins? - Now, while most of us are
familiar with consuming caffeine a lot of us don't know
actually how it works. So (beeping) we did some research and what we found was pretty sciency. So we're gonna do our
best to boil it down. We're not doctors, we're engineers. - That's right. Basically to your brain,
caffeine looks identical to another chemical, adenosine, and adenosine is an organic compound that helps you get drowsy and
tired at the end of the day. - Also a great name for a gal. - For anybody. - For anybody. - Caffeine attaches to all
of adenosine's receptors, in essence blocking out
adenosine from making you sleepy. And then caffeine actually
speeds up your nerve cells as well which causes a big chain reaction that involves the pituitary gland and some other things
which ends up basically making your body produce adrenaline. - Caffeine makes your body
produce adrenaline, y'all. And as we have heard,
adrenaline has a lot of effects on your body that you might recognize, including your heart beats
faster, your pupils dilate, your muscles tighten up ready for action, and you just feel like you
got a lot of extra energy. - But having too much caffeine can be seriously bad news Bezos, which is the thing I'm trying
to get to catch on this year. In 2015, a university
made a pretty big oopsie when they accidentally conducted a study and gave two test subjects
100 times too much caffeine, AKA the equivalent of 300 cups of coffee. These two students were hospitalized, and that amount of caffeine
could have easily been fatal, but it wasn't.
- They didn't die? - They did not die. - Is this episode going be fatal? - No, it is not gonna be fatal because we are not getting anywhere close to a potentially lethal dose. - Okay, but even when
it's not hospital serious, you definitely need to know when you've had too much caffeine. You definitely do know when
you've had too much caffeine because you start feeling it. You start feeling anxiety and nervousness. You start feeling heart palpitations, muscle spasms, upset
stomach, headaches, insomnia, and worst of all, frequent urination. - Oh, that frequent urination. Luckily for us, the FDA
has given guidelines which state that for healthy adults, 400 milligrams of caffeine a day is the max amount of caffeine
not generally associated with dangerous and negative effects. And technically that number
doesn't take into account individual variability,
but to keep things simple for the experiment, we're gonna put the FDA's 400 milligrams to the test. - And if you're like me and
the concept of 400 milligrams means nothing to your brain, 400 milligrams of caffeine
is the rough equivalent to 12 12-ounce cans of Coca-Cola. And if you have trouble understanding 12 12-ounce cans of Coca-Cola,
here, here it is. - That's what it looks like. - There they are, 12 of them. And if you have trouble
just relating to Coca-Cola, I'll put it in terms of Snapple. That is the caffeine equivalent of 11 16-ounce bottles of Snapple peach tea. And as you've probably already guessed, that is also the caffeine equivalent of five, 8.4 ounce cans of Red Bull. - We're gonna drink all this. No, we're not. - I dropped one! - We're just gonna, oh
that's gonna be a shaky one. - I haven't even had caffeine. - Okay, so we wanted to see what happens when you drink those 400
milligrams of caffeine. That is the FDA okay daily
amount, all in one sitting. How will that affect the human body? The human mind, the human spirit? - I have a human spirit. - Well, we're are the human guinea pigs ready to find out for you and for science. - Let's get rid of this Coke
and Snapple, but you know what? If it doesn't, and we're
not gonna drink any more because we're only doing the FDA limit. - Okay. We're drinking sugar free because we don't want to get a sugar rush as opposed to a caffeine rush. - And we got some cylinders.
Bring in the cylinders. They're gonna fill up with liquid to show just how much
Red Bull we're consuming. - This is basically so you can picture what's happening in our stomachs, okay? - Now you may be thinking I drink, I drink like at least five of those when I'm like going
through my games overnight, when I'm gaming or whatever it is. Well, listen, you have a problem. - Okay. One down. - And then, and maybe-- - Quit talking and drink, man. - You need to take note
of what happens to us. - Let me talk. We know you're gonna be
a super slow drinker. - [Link] You already drank one? - Yeah, I'm about to drink the second one. - (belches) Excuse me. - The secret to drinking
a lot very quickly. - Whisper it. - I'm not gonna whisper it. - I just like to drink it to enjoy it. - We don't, we don't
have time for enjoyment. You have to open up your esophagus and you have to refuse
to let your esophagus say "I wanna close 'cause this is too much." You have to tell your esophagus. - You think that's the
voice of my esophagus? - Yeah, you have to tell your
esophagus to submit to you. You are in control of your own esophagus. - I don't, I don't know how to do that. - You have to make it submit. Look how much, look at
the head on that Red Bull tube I got back there. - Oh my goodness. Have you met McKayla? - [Stevie] I've been concentrating on McKayla this entire time, like the things that she's doing, but now I'll watch you guys - Welcome. Welcome Mythical
crew member McKayla. McKayla, I'm about to, I'm about to be halfway
done with my second one. - I'm about to be done with my third one. - Oh, you were already there. That's two. Come on, McKayla, do me right. - That's three. - Now we've got some stickers over here that indicate how we're doing. Are you saying that you are? (belches) Are you sad? - I'm gonna say as I moved
into my third one, I was happy. - All right, there's three. - I've done four. Okay, the things I'm feeling now, I'm feeling a little bit. I'm not feeling quite as good anymore, because the thing that I'm feeling now, I don't feel anything related
to caffeine, I don't think, 'cause it takes about half
an hour for the effects to really set in, full effects. I feel an unbelievable amount
of carbonation in my stomach. I feel like if I could open up my stomach. - Fart, man. (belching) - All right, and now-- - Excuse me. - Do you want me to wait
for you to catch up? - I'm so embarrassed. We have a medic on set. I don't want to act this
way in front of a medic. You know what McKayla? You're, I want you to have a Snapple. - Oh, thank you. - I'm not feeling great right now. - Okay, I'm, I'm, I'm starting to feel like I could punch something.
(Link belches) - Oh.
(crew laughs) I thought that would make a musical note. - Don't listen to your body. Tell your body what you want. Tell your body what you want! - I'd rather for McKayla to
give me encouragement, McKayla. - Hey, tell him to tell
his body what he wants. - Can you show him what actual
encouragement sounds like? - Tell him--
- You're doing great. You're doing amazing.
Do what your body wants. (laughing) - I'm done. Is that one, two, three, four. You want to wait? You want to wait and let
it set in for 30 minutes? - Yeah, let it set in. - Let's just let the caffeine
start to take effect. - Okay. - Okay, it's been about 30 minutes and uh, I'm starting to feel better. I mean, I'm feeling, I'm
but I'm absolutely freezing. I'm so cold. - Does caffeine make you cold? That wasn't on the list of symptoms. - Like I was gonna hold my hand out to see just how jittery I was, but
like this isn't jitters. This is like, I don't know,
is everybody else cold? Like I just have this, I mean, I thought. - No, this has gotta be something. Why are we talking so loud? - 'Cause I'm trying to
talk past the sticker. - [Stevie] It is so hot in here, I just took my sweatshirt off. - No no no no no.
- Are you joking? - [Stevie] I'm not joking. - No, you're joking. - [Stevie] I'm not. - It is ice cold. - I'm sweating, like my pits
are damp, but I'm shivering. - I could take on something, like a task. - I think that the Red
Bulls were just cold. - That's what? We just drank
cold drinks and got cold. - Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Okay. Here's the thing. Red Bull actually did a study to talk about how the
consumption of Red Bull can actually call a
significant improvements in mental performance,
including choice reaction time, concentration, and memory. So we're gonna see if that is the case. And then we're assuming that that's coming from the caffeine, not just the sweet talk. - See what I'm able to do? - Hold on, I feel like
I can take, hold on, I feel like I could take the middle out. I could take the middle out
and nothing will happen. Watch this. - Look. Can you do that? Come on, do it!
(cans clatter) Okay. What were you saying? - We're gonna play what
we call the suitcase game. And that is where you
say "I'm going on a trip and I'm packing something in a suitcase" and we keep adding
items, and I think that-- - Y'all keep a running list
because this is gonna get long because I'm I'm able to
just concentrate right now. - I feel like I have access to all knowledge of the universe. - Okay, I'm going on a trip
and I'm packing some Red Bull. - Well, I'm packing a big
old cylinder to put it in. - Nope. You've already messed up the game. I'm going on a trip and in my suitcase, I'm packing Red Bull, a big
old cylinder to put it in, and a toothpick. - I'm packing-- - No I'm going on a trip. - And I'm packing a Red Bull,
some cylinder to put it in, and a toothpick. - I'm going on a trip and in my suitcase, I'm packing Red Bull, a
cylinder to put it in, a toothpick, and spare ear. - I'm going on a trip and in my suitcase, I'm taking some Red Bull,
a cylinder to put it in, a toothpick and a spare ear. - I'm going on a trip. Oh, what?
- And! - [Stevie] I think it's twice now that Rhett hasn't added
anything to his suitcase, he's just repeated what you added. - I'm going on a trip and in my suitcase, I'm packing a Red Bull,
a cylinder to put it in, a toothpick, an extra
ear, a tattoo artist, a cylinder to put in, no! - No, no.
- What did you say? - You forgot what you said. - Letters, and I wasn't
listening to the camera. - And what are you taking? - And another cylinder to put it in, I already told you that. - Okay, I'm going on a
trip and in my suitcase, I'm taking a Red Bull,
a cylinder to put it in, toothpick, a spare ear,
a personal tattoo artist, some letters. - A camera? - A camera to take a picture of it, and then another cylinder
to put it all in. - And? - Oh, and I gotta add something. - We suck so bad at this game. - Okay, since we just
demonstrated so much ability to remember things, we're
gonna play the tray game. Basically the art department
put a bunch of stuff on a tray, took a picture of it, and then we have to look
at it for three seconds. - This is memory. - And then this is memory, that was not. Now, memory. (laughing) - Before we look at this
picture, quick reminder. If you want to get the Mythical lunchbox. - There it is. - As part of the mythical society. - I wanna punch a hole through it. - You gotta join third degree monthly. - You think I could
punch a hole through it? - By the end of January. - Is that the only one we have? - Just got a couple of days left to join. Third degree monthly. - [Stevie] Yes, don't punch that. - In order to be eligible. - I wanna crush it with one hand. - You can join with third degree annual or third degree quarterly
by the end of March. Oh my gosh, to also be
eligible, MythicalSociety.com - Crush it. - [Stevie] Wait, you didn't finish explaining what you're about to do. - We're gonna look in the thing. We're gonna take it in,
then it's gonna go away and we're gonna explain it to ourselves. - I'm gonna, I might punch you. - It's like we're writing a letter. - It has nothing to do with
me wanting to punch you. I just, I gotta punch
something at some point. - Don't punch my shoulders. - [Stevie] Okay, to clarify
for the people watching. - Don't punch my face, punch my chest. - Can we just? - [Stevie] We're gonna
show a photo of something. It's gonna have a lot of things in it. - Punch right here. - [Stevie] They're only gonna
look at it for three seconds and then they're gonna have to write down as many things as they
can that they remember. - Now I get to punch your chest. - Yeah. (grunts) More, more, more. Okay, that's good, that's good. (laughing)
I heard you. - More, more, more. - If you say "more" over and over. - Like that, like the way I was. Stop bruising - All right, what are we doing? (crew laughs) - Let's see the picture for three seconds. Oh, there, okay. Lots of, oh gosh. What did I see? - I see it all. - Okay. What did, what did, what did you say? - Baby Secret, the chef, the rainbow, and a first place ribbon. - I only got three things. Baby Secret, Link voodoo doll, and cement. - But you add those together. The only thing we crossed
the same as Baby Secret, So I think our powers combined
are pretty impressive. - I feel like, I feel like. - Is that, now that's significantly better than we would have done without caffeine. Don't you think? - You've made my chest red. Pinch my goozle. - But that doesn't do anything. - Oh, more, more, more, more! (laughs) And then it hurts. - I feel like I'm
accessing a different plane that's beyond all the Red Bull studies. Stevie, I would like
you to think of a number between one and 100. - [Stevie] Okay. - Whisper it to somebody
for accountability purposes. And then in post, we're
gonna put that number on the screen, just to,
it's on the screen now. But we, we can't see that
that was added later. So like, if I look down,
there's nothing there. You know how this works. All right, I have my number. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, okay. - [Link] I have my number. - Really? - All right, have you have you written it? Oh, is it in there? It's on that? - I'm getting two numbers and I don't, I just don't know what. - You think caffeine gives
you psychic abilities? - Well that's what we're
gonna find out right now. - Okay.
- Call Red Bull. Okay, it was for me, I
was getting 71 or 17. It was, it was it was these two numbers
were coming through. - [Stevie] Are you kidding me? - My number was three. - [Stevie] Did you do something? - 71, I freakin' told you! I got 71! - [Stevie] Did you do something again? Did you know? Did you look? (bleep) - I'm not kidding, guys. - [Stevie] Are you kidding me? - That's crazy. - I'm not making it up. - Hold on. - You think we script this crap. We don't! - Hold on, is it-- - I was getting the numbers. - [Stevie] I am so scared right now. - Is this a lie? - [Stevie] No! - I was getting, and I almost just put 71 but I was like, oh,
there's a seven that came and there was a one that
came, and I was like I don't know what number to put
these in, 71 feels stronger. We're not making this up. I can't even see her. - I will certify. - [Stevie] I'm sorry about
the way my seven looks. I feel embarrassed now that
you're showing it on camera. - So, so you wrote this
down, 'cause Morgan, all I know is that Morgan said, Morgan showed us the back of this. - Listen.
- And I swear, I swear to you. - I swear on all that is Holy. - I don't want to boost
anything in his brain. - I'm not gonna, this is not cheating. I didn't make something
up. This isn't some trick. A second ago, I got this feeling that I was tapping into something beyond the Red Bull studies. - We have a medic on staff. - I was tapping in. I felt like I was literally
tapping into something psychic. And that's why I came up with the idea. I asked Stevie to think of the number. She thought of 71. I wrote 71. - Now listen, listen. - What are the chances? - Now I here, here. - 1% actually. - I think the way that
people are going to-- - They're not gonna believe it. They're gonna think we do this
for entertainment purposes. - We have, we have a third party on set. We have a medic on set. - Is that blood pressure? - [Medic] No, no, no.
(laughing) - I was about to say we have a problem. - Can you certify that that was, that this was not cheating,
we were not cheating. 'Cause everyone else we pay,
I guess we're paying you too. But yeah, but you're, you're, you're an independent
contractor, you're independent. - [Medic] It's legit. - She said it.
- She said it's legit. - We didn't cheat. - Here's the thing, I
almost didn't put "or 17." - [Stevie] I am so confused. - Because listen, the
moment you thought of it, I got it from, I got it from you. I got it from you, Stevie. - I just poured Red Bull on my eye. - I tapped into your frickin' thoughts. - That's crazy, I can't believe it. - Because of Red Bull. - I can't believe it. - I think a miracle has happened. - What are you gonna do with it? - I think it least, the least I should get is a personal Red Bull sponsorship. From now on, I am brought
to you by Red Bull. This side of the show is

Stevie really did sound scared when Rhett revealed what he wrote down.
In case anyone’s wondering, caffeine causes vasoconstriction—that is, the constriction of blood vessels. That’s why they started feeling so cold. Anyone who’s taken Adderall knows. Your fingers and toes will start to get numb if you don’t get up and move around to get that blood pumping.
Also, the bleeping when Rhett guessed 71 had me dying. 😂
Rhett turned into an unhinged psychic conspiracy theorist and Link turned into a grandpa on too much moonshine. Absolutely glorious.
why did this feel like i was watching R & L do drugs
“Pinch my goozle.”
Therapist: Telepathic Rhett isn’t real he can’t hurt you
Telepathic Rhett: 71
That Rhett rant was vintage.
Just reading the title I was worried about our boys.
After watching it, now I'm still worried about our boys AND a little bit afraid of telepathic Rhett.
This is the hardest I've laughed at an episode in a while, you can really tell they're trying to hold it together
