- Today we ask the age old question - Will it umbrella? - Let's talk about that. (groovy music) - Good mythical morning. - This is gonna be a fun one. - They're all fun ones. - They're all fun ones but in the long history of Will It's, there's been a few notable times where we've veered off the food path into outright engineering. - Whoa. And then you gotta. - You need some wings. - Every time I sit down, it gets a little softer. Huh. - Will it Shoe, Will it
Hair Gel, Will it Chair? - Little more dangerous
and potentially messy than just a Will It with food. - Yeah, it's a full body experience. - Yes, today we gave
the kitcheneers a break and we turned to Mike
Paisley of the art department to keep us dry and a looking fly. And speaking of the art department, we realized Paisley needs a nickname 'cause we've got Mad Dog Lucas, we've got Miss Wizard Kaitlyn, but nothing for Mike Paisley. So we're looking to you,
the Mythical Beasts, to come up with it. Give us your best ideas using
the hashtag #monikerformike. - And if I may make a suggestion - You may make a suggestion
for #monikerformike. - Mike "Dad Magic" Paisley. I think I got that from, I think that came from a
mythical beast actually. - I feel like you're
really swaying the vote now that you've- - Vote for whatever you want, but i want a little dad magic. - You know, just be open
to the possibilities. - Umbrellas or as we call them, umbrellas have gone almost completely unchanged since their invention in 1,000 B.C.. So we felt it was time for
them to get an upgrade. So will this make over end
in victory or soggy shambles? Probably a combination of both. It's time for - [Both] "Will it Umbrella?" - Like any Will It, success is not guaranteed so we will be testing
these hopeful umbrellas in our parking lot. We already had one office
flood, we do not need another. So to qualify as an umbrella, it must have a metal skeleton,
that's not a scary thing, that just means like a frame, an opening/closing mechanism of some kind, and of course, it must
protect us from the rain. - Emphasis on protect us from the rain. Now, the instant that I
hear rain on my window, I want to curl up like a pig in a blanket, but if you got to go out in it, the least you can do for comfort is grab an umbrella and a cup of coffee, but what if you could
just make that one grab? Presenting the Cafe Con Brella. It's an umbrella that
makes coffee when it rains. - Oh my goodness.
- Hopefully. - Oh, okay. Yeah, it collects the rain. - Mike Soon-To-Be-Moniker
Paisley, what did you do? - [Mike] For this umbrella, we just took a regular umbrella apart and made a new umbrella, but inside of it, we have
a cold brew coffee filter. - That's a coffee filter
liner on the whole thing? - [Mike] Over the whole thing. - And then this is a straw? - [Mike] Yeah, so you
get a nice, rich brew, you get a nice, wide brew 'cause I know that's a thing in coffee. You can make it to flavor, so you have a friend or you just throw it up in there.
- I have a friend. - [Mike] You do. - All right. - The people of Seattle are gonna freak when they hear about this. Okay, let's go test it. Of course the best place
to test an umbrella is in a place where it never
rains, southern California. - Good old Burbank. All right, I'm gonna open her back up and then we're gonna.
- I'm gonna I think go full dump. - Full dump, right, right
there in the middle? - All right so we got our grounds and boy do they smell like coffee. - Now, you can actually
make it rain on command in southern California if you pray directly to
the ghost of Bob Hope. So oh ghost of Bob Hope,
please make it rain. - Please. - See, see. - Oh, it's raining in Burbank. Thank you, bob Hope.
- Right here on us. It's collecting in there, I can see it, I can feel it. - Well, I'm staying pretty dry so that's working. - Yeah, okay. - It's gonna take a little while. This is like the slowest,
gentlest of pourovers. - Bob wasn't in a, he wasn't in too giving of a mood. Is it coming through? Oh yeah, oh look at that.
- It's collecting. It's definitely collecting.
- Oh yeah, it's coming through I mean and you want it to
actually filter through, oh here it comes, here it comes. - Oh, there's coffee. - Suck on it. - There's straight up
coffee grounds I nthere, I can see 'em. - Mmhmm. - You get some. It's pretty weak. - That's some weak cold brew. - It's pretty weak but it's
giving us a constant stream. I mean once the coffee starts coming, it's just like a coffee fountain. - We're staying dry and we're drinking crappy coffee. This is the life. It's coming up again.
- Oh man, I love California, man. - Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah man, have some weak coffee, man. - Oh, oh, there you go. And we could add creamer if we wanted to. - Yeah, it's just, all you need is just
to, you know, go up top. - Oh, oh, I'm done with this coffee. Bob Hope, make it stop. All right, so coffee, will it umbrella? - [Both] Yes! - Well, we're still pretty dry. My back's a little wet but- - I got a little elbow wettage but not too bad at all. Now we're still at the
awkward stage in life where we're both too old and too young to wear a diaper, kind of that in-between, but can we at least
have it be our umbrella? - Yeah? - Will its absorbance
keep us nice and dry? - Oh gosh. - It's the Pamperella. - This thing is heavy. - This is kind of that old school kind of- - Parasol. - Yeah, exactly. Is that what you were going for? - [Mike] We, Miss Wizard and I, went on a little journey of the best way to make a diaper umbrella. We did some testing and this is what we came up with. It's got kind of nice southernly, I'd say a gentleman in this case. - Okay, then we would
definitely call this one an umbrella and not an umbrella. - [Mike] This one doesn't
open and close in a nice way. You're gonna see why in a little while. - Okay, let's take it out there. - It's very heavy, is it not? - And it's only gonna get heavier. - I know. - That's what happens with diapers 'cause this is just diaper on diaper. - The question is how long before the rain just brings it down upon us? Like what's the length of time we need to test the umbrella? - I think both of us are gonna
be holding it up pretty soon but okay, all right,
Bob Hope, do your thing. (thunder clapping) Oh.
- Okay. - Completely dry. - Don't favor yourself. Put it right up the middle now. - I'm bigger. Getting some weight, some extra weight. We've probably added a pound or so. Nothing that I can't deal with. - That rain's gonna be cold if it comes through. - We have absolutely no drippage, no leakage thus far. We have got absolutely
nothing coming through. - I'm feeling pretty good all of a sudden. - Okay, the rain has
picked up a little bit. Okay. - Is it getting heavier? - Yeah, I mean if I was just holding this like a normal umbrella
with just like one hand, that's tough, that's a bicep workout. - Let me try. - Go for it. - Oh, wow. - You weren't ready for that. You weren't ready for that.
- It really is- - But still, we've got no penetration. - Nope. - We've still got a complete seal here. Just two guys holding one umbrella. - Not going anywhere. - Okay it's, I'm gonna give all the weight to you just so you can see how heavy it is now. - Oh wow. - I mean this thing has at
least quadrupled in weight at this point. - I mean the skeleton is holding. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, careful. - Oh, I just saw a bead of
sweat come down your brow. Are you nervous? - No, that's rain. I think some rain came through. - Why you keep pulling it toward you? - I'm just afraid, oh we got a leak. We got a little bit of a leak. Is the whole thing gonna just snap and pop me in the head? I feel like I should get a
little bit lower than you so it hits you in your head. I mean how long do you need it, how long does an umbrella need to function to be a certified umbrella. - Think about a reporter reporting about the rain. - You wouldn't want this in a hurricane. - I'm out here in Burbank and believe it or not, it is raining in one spot and it will not stop. I am gonna stay here and report until it stops raining. - But no worries because
I have an umbrella made of diapers. - We're still here in
the rainy spot in Burbank reporting live. Inexplicably, it is still raining here and our diaper umbrella is
keeping us reasonably dry. I'd say it weighs 43 pounds. It's raining a lot. Are we still good? - Oh yeah, we're still good. - We're still good. - We're still good. - We're still good.
- We're still good. - Oh God. - We're no longer reporters. - Got to hold that umbrella. - We're just good old
boys in the parking lot. - Can we get it up a little bit higher? Okay. Whoa. It's so heavy. I mean this is a two man job. This is a four hander at this point. - My back's starting to get wet but we're still good. - Let me see if I can walk a
little bit with it just to- - You're not walking away from me. - Let's just walk out and just walk around in a circle here. - Okay. - Yeah, it's still functional. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe clockwise. - "Mommy, what's wrong
with those two men?" (both giggling) - We're very much fighting with each other pulling this thing. - Oh really, us? - 'Cause you want it centered over you and I want it centered over me, man. - One control freak and one
best friend of a control freak. - This ain't me. No, you're pulling hard. Like if I let go, look at you. You're taking the umbrella. I'm getting wet.
- I'm keeping it right in the middle, man. - That's not the middle. This is the middle. - No, it's not. Now my whole shoulder's out. - My shoulder was out. - My whole shoulder's out. - We're still good. I think we're finding out why this thing is engineered to not close because with the weight
that I'm holding right now - It would just be closing. - It would totally collapse on us. We'd be gone forever. - I'm nervous the whole time that it is gonna just
completely close on us even regardless of the fact that it's been locked in place. - It's heavy as all getout but it is not failing. We are indeed still good. We've been out here for like 10 minutes and I'm definitely getting an arm workout. - [Rhett] But my head is completely dry. - It has tripled in weight, but yeah, we're dry so- - It's functioning as an umbrella so, diapers, will it umbrella? - [Both] Yes! - Okay, so we were
fighting over that umbrella but I will take this
opportunity to point out that my back is completely
soaked all the way to the back, the bottom. - Oh, mine is too. - See? - Sorry. All right y'all, we have
got some exciting news. Trevor from the Mythical Kitchen has his own podcast. It's Trevor Talks Too Much. It's not a dig, well it is a dig, but it is the name of the podcast. Trevor Talks Too Much, and it's launched today. - Yes, some of y'all are familiar with the infamous Trevor
holiday party story that went on for we lost
count for how long it went on, we love him, but he talks too much so we decided that Trevor needs an outlet where he can talk as much as he wants. But the thing is he needs
somebody to talk to. So each week, we tasked Trevor to invite a new guest on
the podcast to talk to with the goal being is this somebody Trevor can add to his talk-to list of contacts or will he talk too much and push the guest away forever? Well check out the first episode today wherever you get your podcasts, Trevor Talks Too Much. - All right, unless you're
a worm on a sidewalk, no one actually wants to
be outside in the rain. But maybe a happy cloud
hued in the colors of sunset can make it a happy experience. Introducing the Pink Sugarella. - Look at this. Can you get a load of that? This thing is made
entirely of cotton candy, but again, it's got the frame and just cotton candy. - It smells great. - This is definitely gonna work. - What did you do? - [Mike] We made a bunch of cotton candy and we put it on the umbrella. (Rhett laughs) - Well, you did a good job. I mean look at the top of this thing. Look at that, look at
that cotton candy nipple. - [Mike] Wait until you taste it. - Oh, we're not gonna taste it, it's gonna block all the water.
- Wait until we use it to keep us dry. Something tells me that Randy is not gonna come anywhere
near this rain cloud. - This is a sacrilegious
thing to do with him. - Can you move up a little bit more? - I mean we got nothing to worry about. We're gonna stay completely dry. - Yeah, definitely. - Bob Hope, pee on us. - What? (thunder clapping) It's raining. - I mean first of all, there's like whole holes. I can literally stick
my whole hand through. - I'm starting to get some, it's melting. - Oh gosh, this is gonna,
we're gonna be sticky. Oh no. Oh gosh. - Ooh, it tastes good. - Oh, it does. Mmm, oh man, that's really- - Ooh, that's sweet, ooh, that's cold. - It's okay. Okay, it's really going pretty fast now. Mmm okay, maybe if I can catch some. Oh, you got a whole thing right here. - We still good? - Here you go. - We're still good. It's all gone. I think it's over. - That didn't take long. - [Link] All right, cotton
candy, will it umbrella? - [Both] No! - Okay, I'm a little wetter and a lot stickier. - Yeah and I'm a little sugary. - That entire umbrella just basically became part
of our clothing and hair. All right, in 1952, the 1952
musical, "Singin' in the Rain", Gene Kelly called the experience, "a glorious feeling and I'm happy again", so we thought there's an
umbrella idea in here somewhere. So we let Paisley figure it out. We now present the
Umbrelloke, like karaoke. - Oh this thing is- - This is a whole karaoke machine? - [Mike] Oh yeah. I mean it's a whole entertainment
package for outdoors. - Ho, there's speakers up there. - Oh, there it goes. - [Mike] Now if you let your hand wander down to the fabric
enclosure at the bottom, that, yeah, yeah, and
you can peel it back, now you've got your interface. - [Link] Oh well, a whole
control, look at that. - [Mike] But until you need it, it's kept high and dry. - [Rhett] Yeah, you can
keep it hidden nicely away. - [Mike] And then on the back
by your left hand, Rhett, there's an on/off switch
if you want to kick it on, on the back on your left hand. Yeah, in the back of the back. - [Link] Yeah, there you go, kick that on. - [Mike] Hi, see, it
says hi, that's its line. - Check, check, check, check, let's go outside and get this
thing wet, wet, wet, wet. (Rhett laughing) See I wonder if actually playing music will repel the rain off
of the speakers up here. - Well, I'll get up on top
of the building and find out. - Test, test, test, we've got some echo, echo, echo, echo. Echo, yo, hit it! Yeah, okay, yeah, let's
play our own music. - Yeah, yeah. - Is it heavy? - Yes. βͺ I can't believe we've
lived to be this old βͺ βͺ And somehow we have
never seen this hole βͺ βͺ A little dent with a little
bit of lead inside it βͺ βͺ Underneath of this
umbrella, we've been hiding βͺ βͺ It's time that we unwrap this gift βͺ βͺ Let's bring back the drift βͺ βͺ Is it working βͺ βͺ Is it working βͺ βͺ Is it working, is it working βͺ βͺ I really, really think it is βͺ βͺ Is it working, is it working βͺ βͺ Is it working, working,
working, working βͺ βͺ I'm not wet βͺ βͺ I'm not wet, either βͺ - Let me see what's happening
on the top, hold it. (Link beat bopping) Very light. When the base hits, it kind of like vibrates a little bit. It's actually pretty cool. It's very water repellent up there. - It's what, it's what? - It's actually very cool. It's very water repellent
on top of this thing. You would be very impressed if you could see the top of it. Why don't you go see the top of it. (upbeat music) Look at the top, Link. Look at the top. βͺ Oh yeah βͺ βͺ Oh yeah, I'm looking at the top βͺ βͺ And I'm getting real wet βͺ βͺ Is the top cool βͺ βͺ Is the top cool βͺ βͺ Is the top cool βͺ βͺ How cool is the top, fool βͺ βͺ It's not so cool βͺ βͺ That I don't want to be under here βͺ βͺ Where I'm not quite as wet βͺ - Okay, I think this is
actually pretty simple. We're having a good time. It's a little bit heavy
but karaoke machine, will it umbrella? - [Both] Yes! (upbeat music) - Oh man, now I've really gotten wet. This has been fun. I'd like to give a shout out to Mike "Soon-to-be-Monikered" Paisley and the rest of the Mythical Crew that has managed to stay completely dry for this entire test. Thank you for subscribing
and clicking that bell. - You know what time it is. - Hi, my name's Arch, I'm seven years old. I'm from Allen Park, Michigan and I just got my first COVID shot and it's time to spin
the Wheel of Mythicality. - Very brave, Arch. - Thanks for doing your part, Arch. Click the top link to watch us play "What's on My Umbrella?"
in Good Mythical More. - And to find out where the Wheel of
Mythicality's gonna land? - [Rhett] Hey, we want to let you know about a brand new podcast hosted by our very own
Mythical Kitcheneer, Trevor, called "Trevor Talks Too Much". The first episode launches on February 1st so be sure to check it out on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
so glad they did this, as the food Will-Its were starting to get a bit old and repetitive. Also the end of the episode was one of the best moments in recent GMM history :)
Can we just call him Monikered Mike?
This episode, and GMMore, were full on gold. I knew as soon as the rain started, Link was going to immediately claim that Rhett was hogging the umbrella.
Great fun switching it up from food again after a long time away from Mythical Engineering being a part of these
"Will It" episodes.
Well done, Moniker Mike Pasley!
Weβre still good!
The karaoke part made me so happy
This episode felt like an instant classic
The sadness of seeing cotton candy, but not Randy, will haunt me forever. :( Otherwise, great episode!
That karaoke umbrella should be a regular feature, like go out in public and singπ
That cotton candy umbrella was triggering thoughπ
Joyous!
