- Hey guy , welcome back
to my tiny little butt. One of the first commentary
videos I ever made was about a Facebook
magician named Rick Lax, who exploded onto the scene by
tricking millions of normies, into thinking that he
was reading their mind when really he was just doing math. Now for a long time, Rick
had completely disappeared off my radar until a few weeks ago when he went viral on
Twitter with some pretty insane new tricks, for some reason, all of them involved pouring Red Bull on top of other things, I suppose by now, he's run out of simple Math tricks to do so he's moved on to
Chemistry, I don't know. Seems a little random,
but he does possess magic. So I will not doubt him. I'd like to think that most
people watching these clips would stop it halfway
through and say out loud, "This is fake news, I'm watching a lie." But scrolling through
the comments on Facebook where Holy Fuck, this
has 178 million views, you can see a lot of people buying into it without much thought, which
is par for the course, This is Facebook. This is really eye-opening stuff. I never thought energy
drinks could be so harsh. I'm never drinking
energy drinks ever again. Indeed it is eye-opening,
eye-opening Facebook, and now eye-closing Facebook. But you know what? I've clowned enough on Rick in the past. I'm gonna give him the
benefit of the doubt here. So while I was planning
my last video, I decided, you know what? I'm already doing all this DIY shit. might as well pick up
a couple of Red Bulls and take it upon myself to recreate Rick's wacky, homemade
science experiments. Only then can we prove once
and for all that magic is real and Rick is hoarding it all to himself. To the table! (footsteps) Hi, as you all can see,
I've brought with me today, an assortment of crafting equipment, you'll notice there's no
hot glue gun, thank God. Instead, I just have
a 12 pack of Red Bull, which I never buy or drink, but I did today just for this video, and a bunch of other shit that is about to get doused in Red Bull, so this will be exciting. The table is very short
I would stand like this, but I don't have the leg
strength to maintain this for more than about seven
seconds, and we're done. All right so there are five
specific energy drink life hacks from this video that we're
gonna be attempting today for each one that is successful, I will be awarding one point, if they are all successful,
that's five points. Actually the point system is
arbitrary am now realizing. But if they all work and I
was wrong about doubting Rick, then I promise to send a
message to him on Facebook apologizing for this video, as
well as the other one I made about him and I will
retract every negative thing I've ever said about Rick Lax. If none of them work, I
will be calling the cops. You can't keep getting
away with this, Rick , lying is worse than murder, that's not true murder is way worse. Hey, let's get started,
all right In the first one, he cuts a balloon and
then dips it into Red Bull and look at that, the
latex seals right up. Instantly the energy drink
just binds it together with whatever properties
that Red Bull has. I'm gonna try to recreate it
as accurately as possible. I don't have a martini glass. Hopefully a wineglass
will do just as well. (pops)
First Red Bull in the cup. (plops)
All right, this should be easy enough to test. (snips) (splatters) (soft upbeat music) Let's try another dare, I
think you have to do it twice. He didn't say that, but
that's what I'm assuming. (blows) (pops) Yeah, it didn't work,
let's try purple instead, I think it was the color of the balloon. (splatters) Almost ready. (blows) (rambles) Yeah, It's not working. Don't worry guys that was just a fluke. I think the other four
are definitely gonna work. This is Rick freaking lax
we're talking about here, he's never lied to anybody. Right, so for this one, spray fruit and vegetables
with cooking spray. And would you look at that,
I have fruit and vegetable. I'm sure I could just reuse
the wineglass for this, but for maximum authenticity, I will be using a cup
'cause that's what he says. I don't wanna change any variables here, this is science we're working on. (energy drink can hisses)
(bright upbeat music) (drink plops) (spray whiffs) (bright upbeat music) Totally normal thing to be doing. (gurgles) Oh no, it's so slippery. All right, (bright upbeat music) (groans) let me get my legs into this. (groans) I mean, I squished it a little bit, but that's because it's a lemon and it's already a little bit squishy. The real test is gonna
be one of these bad boys, which are so slippery right now. I'm wondering if I'll ever be able to hold anything ever again. I'm just glad I get to do this again. And this one practically
has a built-in handle. (groans) You know what I just thought
of, what if Rick's pranking me? What if to get revenge for the
other video I made about him, he made this video knowing I would see it, my curiosity would take hold, and then I ended up filming
myself in my kitchen, squeezing a bunch of
slippery, phallic vegetables, If so, good job, Rick. I'm putting these in the trash. I just washed my hands
for like two minutes and they're still slippery. So for this next one,
we're gonna get to do a little bit of cooking. This should be fun. (trickles) - [Narrator] They ask you how
you are, you just have to say that you're fine when you're not. (egg clatters) - Comment below your favorite type of egg. Wait, what's supposed
to happen at the end? (upbeat music) Okay, they don't look stretchy yet, but we, (laughs) do have some kind of
reaction going on here with the Red Bull. Why does it feel like I
shouldn't be doing this? Oh, because I shouldn't,
yeah that makes sense. I'm gonna go ahead and turn it off (pops) 'cause it's definitely been three minutes and I don't know what kind
of volcano is erupting. (hums) burnt Red Bull. Okay well, I can tell
you by looking at them that they're not stretchy, but of course the only way to find out if something is stretchy
is by stretching it. So
(jazz music) Here we go, eww! It's hot, eww! It's hot, eww! It's hot. You guys ever seen someone, (chuckles) hold an egg yolk before, this is the grossest thing I've ever done, and I never wanna do it again. And that's the end of the sentence. Yap, now I'm definitely sure
that Rick is pranking me. You know what? I'm actually gonna give
this one half a point. It didn't work quite as advertised, but the eggs are still
technically stretched, but then I'm gonna
subtract an entire point for making me have to clean this shit up. Fun fact, my mother-in-law is coming to visit in like two hours, and Amanda is gonna be pretty mad at me if it still smells like Red Bull and eggs. All right, the good news
is there are no more eggs. The bad news is my hammer
is about to get very sticky. (bright upbeat music) Okay, seems simple enough. Good thing I came prepared. (utensils clatter) (sighs) - [Narrator] When you're not really fine but you just can't... - I love it, I love to do this. ( can hisses) (drink plops) This is kind of like
an ASMR except the bad. So it's exactly like ASMR. Just when I thought this
couldn't smell any better, we're now adding vinegar to the mix. Best day of my life. The hammer is wet, the kitchen is stinky, time to see if the hammer is rubber. Moment of truth, is it gonna be bendy? ( bumps) No, of course not. Why would I even think that it would be. By the way, this video now
has 186 million views, why? I've smelled a lot of
bad smells in my day. Most of them coming from my own body, but this takes the cake,
a very stinky cake. A fun joke I'd like to do on
this channel for awhile is when I react to something
silly that didn't work is I'll put a card up
recommending my video. Why did you think this would work? Just a fun little meta joke I like to do, mostly to make myself laugh. I could have done that four
times so far in this video. Don't worry though, I think
I've saved the best for last. And this last clip, Rick is attempting to tackle one of man's
most pressing issues, bread and its lack of portability. Well, I got my bread here, I wonder what the other
secret ingredient is. Red Bull, you don't say. "Honey, you have to come
back here, you're so messy." (clatters) I don't know who are you? You don't sound like my wife. When I get done with this bread,
it's gonna be so portable, oh, the places I'll be
able to go with this bread. When the bread's too big
(rumbles) to fit in your pan for your life hack, (utensils clatter) Perfect, I can just use this weird tray that was already in the kitchen when we moved into this apartment. All right, bottoms up guys. (fizzles) (hums) Not only can I take my
bread with me anywhere now, but it's gonna be all soggy and tastes like the worst drink, that relatable moment
when regret your choice. Coat both sides, yeah. Good point, I'd hate not to be thorough. Now the moment of truth, I'm
gonna take my wedding ring off because right now I don't
deserve to be married. Oh, it's really work guys.
(giggling) I'm doing it, I'm making
the bread portable. Oh guys. - [Announcer] Today we
celebrate our independence day. (instrumental music) - After all that shit I talked
about Rick, I was wrong. The problem was with me all along, not this video, this works perfect. I can take this bread to a museum, I could take it to the beach, I could eat this bread
anywhere and everywhere and that's what I'm gonna do, thanks Rick. You guys wanna hear my
theory as to how this one kind of worked 'cause the bread got wet. But hey, that's just a theory. Wait, hold on, the content
is no longer available, is Rick watching me right now? It all makes sense this
was his plan all along, he's had his eyes on me. There's a camera in here Isn't there. Come out, Rick, wherever you are. He planted the seed and
then watched as I watered it with Red Bull and vinegar. And now that his bidding is
done, he deleted the video, so I don't even have proof
that it ever existed. Did it ever exist, am I asleep right now? Our light turned off. Well, I can already see all the comments about how I seem like I
lost my mind in this video and that's 'cause I did. I don't even know how to end this video. It's all dark now 'cause
the light turned off, it still stinks in here. Well, I guess the only thing
I can do is eat the bread. All right thanks for watching guys. (bright upbeat music) - So I've gone back and forth
on how I feel about this. At first I was mad at Rick
for making me spend like $20 on Red Bull and a wet baguette. But then I thought about
it and I actually started to appreciate what he's doing here. Obviously these were not going to work, but the fact that he even
made me feel like I had to disprove him is a success. Rick, isn't a scientist, he's a magician and these are just illusions. Like I don't know how he
did this balloon thing, but he certainly made it
look like he cut the balloon and then the Red Bull fixed it. It's at least better than
staring into the camera telling me that my number,
I subtracted two from is two less than the number I had before, and so I have to share
the video because of it. He's adapting, he's improving his craft. So all I have to say
is good for you, Rick. But then I thought about it
some more and I got mad again. This fucking hammer was
just rubber the whole time. That's why he's barely tapping these cans. This vegetable was just
rubber the whole time. These eggs are... oh wait, I guess those are real eggs. Just kidding because he cut to a new shot where he replaced them with rubber eggs. Come on, Rick you're like 40 years old and you're playing with kids toys pretending that you did magic
just so you can go viral on Facebook, it's not all bad though. There are some positive
stories to come out of this. I read this very inspirational
message in the comments. "Don't underestimate the
power of energy drinks. These are my before and after pictures from when I never drank them,
to when I drank three a day. It was a lot of hard work
and positive thinking too, so if the energy drinks
can't take all the credit." And these are the pictures. Well, I hope we all learned
a valuable lesson today about how you can't believe
anything you see on the Internet because all of it's a
lie, except for everything I'm about to say about today's sponsor. Hi, I'm upside down. Just like my life used to be before I started using Express VPN. Have you ever tried
watching a show you thought was on Netflix only to find out it's not available in your country. You were probably tempted to
just get up and move to France, but I'm here to tell you that
there's a simpler solution. With the Virtual Private Network, you can trick your Internet
into thinking that you're just about anywhere in the world,
which unlocks so much content. You probably thought
wasn't available to you. and Express VPN has service
in 94 different countries. So you're pretty much guaranteed
to find something to watch. And of course that's just the feature I find most fun to talk about. But Express VPN will also secure your data while you're browsing the Internet, which is especially helpful if you're using a public
WiFi like at the airport or a target. When you use public WiFis,
you're exposing your information to the possibility of being stolen by other people on the network. But Express VPN will mask your IP address and encrypt your data, preventing hackers from even getting a width
of your precious info. They also happen to have
consistently faster speeds than other VPN providers and
apps for almost every device. To find out how you can
get three months free, click the link in the description, that's expressvpn.com/drew take back your Internet privacy today, or just watch a movie you
didn't think you could. Thank you to Express VPN
for sponsoring this video. Now back to that weird guy
who sits at his desk all day. Oh man, I'm so glad I made my clone do all the brand deals for me, so I never have to advertise anything. Well, thank you guys so much
for watching this video, I hope you enjoyed it, remember
to give a thumbs sideways if you were indifferent about it and I'll see you tomorrow
with another video about cleaning my feet, bye.
