Can you relieve pain with crystals? – Let’s talk about that. (groovy theme music) Good mythical summer. – Today Good Mythical Morning will become what people often call it when they meet us in public, Good Mystical Morning, because we gonna be bringing in some crystals. – That’s right, for centuries, ancient cultures have used crystals for their healing and protection powers, but today they’re used in electronics, as tasteful home decor, question mark there, and to bring your ex-boyfriend back into your personal energy sphere. – We’re gonna find out if there’s anything to these crystals in a little test that we like to call, Let’s Attempt to Heal with Crystal, not the Person Crystal (and not the Methamphetamine Either, Just the Rocks, but They’re Not Rocks, They’re Crystals, That Might Heal Things). – As it turns out, crystals are a lot like phones, they have to be charged. – Charged? – In order for them to have their full energy potential. Now there’s a number of ways to charge them. – We’re gonna be doing four different ways. – We’re gonna do all of ’em. – We’re gonna start with washing the crystals. Always wash your crystals, you know what, sometimes you can forgot. You know, sometimes I wash everything and forget my crystals. And I really regret it, okay, so just washing those. Pat dry. – I wonder if there’s a couple named Crystal and Pat, that’d be good. – There probably is, I mean it’s not that uncommon of a name, either of those names. – Now we’re going to, – Now they’re cleaned. – We’re gonna burn some sage. Always seeing people doing this, and wanted to be a part of it. – But they never invited us. – So we’re gonna just light this on fire here. – [Link] Oh goodness. – [Rhett] Get it smoking, nice and smoky. – [Link] I got some fire going. – You blow it out, and then you’ve got a nice little, how do I get the smoke to go into it? – Do you make a noise like, haaaaaa? – No, don’t, hey, don’t be additive. – Okay, yeah, we’re just doing the sagey. – Yeah, this is science, just let it all work. I kind of like it. – I shouldn’t be breathing it in so much. – I feel like a witch. Don’t witches do this? – I don’t know Rhett, I don’t know any witches. – Okay, and now I’m just gonna just, – Every witch way would lose today buddy. – Extinguish that, and now another way you can charge your crystals is by applying, did I mention that we’re supposed to be infusing these with good intentions. – Oh okay, forgot to do that. – I’m gonna put, I’m really gonna unload the good intentions now. – Now let’s not be facetious, I’m actually conjuring a good intention, like I wanna know, if this is gonna work, I wanna know it, so. – Now you’re supposed to give some good intentions, but also, give it some – I want to know. – High vibration music, I’ve got my singing bowl I brought in. (high-pitched sound) – I do not have a singing bowl, but I was also told that you can just hum. – The crystals are vibrating. (Link hums) – Now I’m not being stupid, they actually say you can hum on crystals if you don’t have, – I’m not being stupid, trust me. (Link hums) – That’s not high enough. (Link hums higher) – There you go. This is definitely gonna work. Okay, and the fourth step is, this makes sense, you get a little bit of sunlight, direct sunlight, – Solar-charged. – Can charge them, of course, I’m gonna use my handy-dandy app to open up our sunroof. (mechanical sounds and birds chirping) Love how convenient that is. Just let, just take it in, just take the sun in. – Soaking it in, add intentions, too. – Keep giving good intentions. All kinds of good intentions. – I intend to – No, no, no, don’t voice it, this is just for the crystals. It’s not for the people, it’s for the crystals. And now he’s mouthing it. I think you just ruined it, but I gave it plenty of good intentions, let me close that back up. The app works exactly the same, you just move your finger the other way. – Alright, now that they are fully charged, let’s put ’em to the test. (peaceful music) Okay, we each have an amethyst here. These are the best crystals for relieving pain, especially arthritis or headaches. They also rid negative energy, and keep energy vampires away. – Oh, don’t know what that is, but I don’t like the idea of ’em. – I don’t want them here. – Now we’ve also both chosen the crystal that we were drawn to, actually I was presented with both of ’em and I chose the one I was drawn to, and Link got the other one. – Which is nice, I mean it looks like a rocket. – But that is apparently part of the deal, you wanna use one that you’re drawn to. Now in order to induce something that we, some pain that we should relieve, we’ve got some clothespins, Link let’s just begin to apply these to different body parts in a way that will cause some discomfort. – Oh my word, that’s a painful place. Maybe right on the goozle, ooh that one, that hurts. Oh yeah. – Oh gosh. – Now I’m not putting any on my lips, because that could flare up the herpes – Yeah, that’s the last thing we need around here. – Don’t want a herpes flare-up. – Is a herpe flare. – I don’t trust the crystals that much. – Almost as bad as a solar flare is a herpe flare. – Okay, now let’s just understand the pain that we’re in. – Yeah, I understand it, it hurts. – For one second, just be quiet, and understand it. Okay. – It hurts a lot. – So now, – We’re going to apply the amethyst to ourselves with these fashionable headbands. – I think we picked these up at Burning Man, even though we weren’t at Burning Man. Oh my goodness, and then, my amethyst will nestle right down in here. – [Rhett] Just gonna insert it in there, I feel like, – There we, oop. Mine went all the way through. – I feel like a queen. – Yours is good. Let me see, let me try this again. – You’re distracting me and my crystal a little bit. Okay, let’s just take it in. – Should it be absorbing the pain? Should it, does it like, – I think you’re asking too many specific questions. I think that if it was that specific, then they might be able to test it, and then it might all start falling apart. – Right, if it feels the pain, does it change color? – No, I don’t think, it’s not super literal, man. Just let it, let the essence of your pain flow into the essence of the crystal. – Should I hum with an open mouth? – No, don’t hum man, you’re bringing too much effort. – I wasn’t humming, my mouth was open. – I’m over here just letting it happen. – You can’t hum with an open mouth. – I don’t hurt at all anymore. Is this like a placebo effect? – I think so, yeah. – You look great by the way. – It’s a big purple placebo strapped to your forehead. I’m feeling about the same level of pain. I’m not complaining about it, though. – I feel mild pain relief, I’m gonna say this works. – I’m gonna disagree. (peaceful music) – Alright, now we’re going to be using rose quartz. Now this is supposed to enhance positive energy, and all types of love. That’s self love, love for others, unconditional love. It also helps with emotional imbalance. – Want about conditional love? – You probably got that all on your own. Okay Link, we’re gonna test this on you by exposing you to something that you have shown hate for, and that is our house band, The Fantastic Sams. – Now listen, yes, I did hate them, but I didn’t know that they were mythical crew members. – It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter man. – When I hated them. – Now you do know. – I love you guys as people, but I hate acapella, and I hate you as a band. – Okay, so they’re gonna perform for you for a second here, and – What kind of barbershop quartet only has three people? – Just take it in and let the hate build, okay. Whenever you guys are ready. ♫ We know you hate us ♫ But don’t make a fuss ♫ We’ve got some things that we’d like to discuss ♫ ‘Cause we asked Lily for ♫ A list of things you abhor ♫ She said you don’t like snakes ♫ When Jade urinates ♫ When Lincoln leaves the trashcans in the driveway ♫ Almost all films ♫ Except superhero films ♫ And blood, and olives, and listening to anyone else ♫ And The Fantastic Sams, The Fantastic Sams – You guys, she said I don’t like listening to anyone but myself? – Anyone else. – Anyone else. – Yeah, well she’s been paying attention. She’s been paying attention. Okay now Link, – That was horrible. That was the point, right? – Hold this, hold the rose quartz. – Oh goodness. – And let it absorb your hate, and see if you can love The Fantastic Sams. – I wanna love you guys. – They’re gonna do this again. – I do love you guys, I just haven’t loved the performances. ♫ We know you hate us ♫ But don’t make a fuss ♫ We’ve got some things that we’d like to discuss – I thought we already did. ♫ ‘Cause we asked Lily for ♫ A list of things you abhor ♫ She said you don’t like snakes ♫ Or when Jade urinates – Nope. ♫ When Lincoln leaves the trashcans in the driveway ♫ Almost all films ♫ Except superhero films – Right. ♫ And blood, and olives, and listening to anyone else ♫ And The Fantastic Same, The Fantastic Sams. – Please don’t fire us. – Okay Link, okay you guys can leave, I think he needs you to leave. – Well, you know what, I’ll say it got louder the second time. – Uh huh, yep, yep, yep. – I think that might’ve been the crystal. – It got funnier the second time. It, sadly, it was equally true both times. – So it might’ve worked a little bit. You need to hold that all the time. – You know what, I’ll preorder the album. Is there gonna be an album? – [Lizzie] No. – Okay, good. – So you’re saying the rose quartz may work for you. – It didn’t hurt. – It doesn’t hurt. – It didn’t hurt. – Crystals don’t hurt. (peaceful music) – Here I have lithium quartz, which brings emotional peace, relaxation, and relieves stress. It gently removes grief, stress, and anxiety. – Gently? – Gently brings it to the surface, so it can be healed, that’s at least, – It’s like a sponge advertisement. – That’s at least what I’ve been told. Yeah, I think it works kind of like a sponge. So what I’m gonna do is introduce some stress and anxiety into your life, and then we’ll test out the crystals for a second round of that. So to give the most accurate stress-inducing scenario, specifically for you, I’ve asked for your son Shepherd to join us. Shepherd come on in here. (crew applauds) – Everybody. – Shepherd you know what you gotta do, right? – Yeah. – You gotta introduce him to anxiety and stress, yet again, in whatever way you see fit, go for it. (spraying sounds) – Oop, oop, don’t aim at the camera, maybe aim at him. Say some stressful-inducing stuff. – I’m gonna make a pyramid. – Gonna make a pyramid, gonna make a mess everywhere, making a secondary pyramid on the nipple, getting a close look at it. Are there any noises that can induce stress that you wanna add to the mix right quick? I mean with like your, oh, what is that? (snapping) Okay, you got something else? Oh he’s got another one. (snapping) Okay, okay, let’s pause, let’s pause, let’s pause on that, and, – This is stressing me out a little bit. – And you know what, I know, I can’t even, just put, can I have one of these? – No. – Alright, just put each, one in each hand, and grasp it gently. Alright, double time man, give him all you got. – Okay, when I grow up, I wanna be a silly string maker, you know. And I wanna make the kind of silly string that makes eggs, and then, they turn into the, – Where’d you pull that from? – These. (snapping) And then they explode into more of these. (snapping) And more. (snapping) And more. (snapping) And more. (snapping) – Okay. – And then, – Okay – they, finally, turn into them, and go straight up. (snapping) – And there you have it. And they go straight up. – But I’m still not really that finished. – Yeah, you are. – Alright Shepherd. (crew applauds) – I still have one more. – No, you’re, keep that one for later, take that home for your momma, oh goodness. Let’s have an AB, conspir-person there. – The crystals didn’t help. – Sorry man, it was worth a shot, you know. – They help with pain, but it didn’t help with parenting. – I’m sorry, I was hopeful, I gave it all the intention I had. So what is our conclusion here? – Well, I don’t know if crystals work, but crystals don’t hurt. – Crystals may not work, but they sure don’t hurt.
