GMM 1664: Can We Turn A Car Into A Pizza?

Can we bake a deep dish pizza in a car? – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) – Good mythical morning! – Right off the bat, we wanna let you know, today’s episode was paid for my NHTSA, aka, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, but also, this is our big season finale! – Season finale! – But fear not, because next week we’re gonna be right here every single day, counting down the top moments of the season. – Mm hm and then we’ll be back before you know it, kicking off 2020 in style with Season 17 of Good Mythical Morning, right here on January 13th. – Now, NHTSA wants to remind you to drive sober or get pulled over, which is not only a sentiment we completely agree with, but also an important message that we want to take to new, never before seen heights. – That’s right, we wanna remind you, don’t drive drunk, drive pizza. – Yes. – And by drive pizza, we mean we’re going to turn a car into a pizza and ride that bad boy right into the history books. – Yeah, a few months ago, we got our hands on a beat up 25 year old hoopity of a car and since then, we have put it through the wringer. In the name of internet science, we left things in that car for a month, only what would find out what would happen to ’em. – And we took the wheels off that car and replaced them with wheels made out of cheese for no reason other than to amuse ourselves. – And best or worst of all, we subjected that car to a photo shoot with the Men of Mythical for a surprisingly sexy 2020 calendar. – Surprisingly sexy. But none of that compares to how we plan on ending the car’s journey, today. In the spirit of not driving drunk, but instead driving pizza, we’ve asked The Mythical Crew to turn the car into a pizza oven that we can fill with ingredients that will come together to form a car-sized deep dish pizza. – Of course, we had no idea how to do this. So we brought the idea to Mythical Art Director Pasley and Mythical Chef Josh for a game plan. Let’s see what they came up with. – So Rhett and Link have asked us now to turn the car into a pizza oven somehow, and so we’re working on how to do that. And obviously my job is to turn the car into an oven. And so there’s a bunch of things to do to make that happen. We’re gonna have to gut the interior of the car, basically anything that’s not metal, has to go out of the car. Even the glass, we’ll have to pull all them. We’re gonna have to fill the door cavities and the front dash with expanding foam so flames and sparks can’t get through there. Insulation will also help keep the heat in so the car doesn’t get hot. We’ll cut the roof off the car and so that way we can get all our toppings in and everything. And then we’re gonna fill the bottom of the car up with sand I guess, and that’ll level it off. Then we’ll put rocks down and then on top of that, we’ll put some pancake griddles. Those griddles will then have a layer of stone, over all of that and so the stones, hopefully will get really really hot and kinda create a brick pizza oven effect. This is what it’s gonna look like. That in theory should make the car a pizza oven. – I’m just gonna order a bunch of cheese and sauce and stuff and maybe a bell pepper. I dunno. – That was a lot of work and I still got a lot of questions, but the pizza oven is apparently finished and ready for baking. – Okay, but before we attempt to make pizza magic happen, we do wanna say, even if you have your own Mike Pasley, even if you have your own Mythical Chef Josh, and even if you have your own expendable junk car lying around your house, we do not recommend you do any of this at home. Shall we? – Yes. – Ahhhhh! – Wow. – Pizza car. – This is a good lookin’ pizza oven car. – Yeah, this is the best pizza oven car I’ve ever made. – Yeah, it’s the best one I’ve ever seen. – There’s pancake griddles in here. There’s four of ’em. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. – You’re gonna fire those up. – Well they’re going already. – And then you got a heat bazooka. – [Mike] Yeah, that’s actually the technical term, a heat bazooka in the back. – [Link] It’s gonna go through the, – The rocket’s in. Heat, to keep it more oven-like. So then we’ll put the top of the car back on, to help have a lid to the oven while it’s raising up the temperature, cooking this thing. – All right, so all we gotta do is, put a pizza in, put a top on, and bakey bakey. – Yeah, which is easy. And so for the rest of this, I’m gonna tag in Mythical Chef Josh. – Mythical Chef Josh! Please report to the convertible pizza oven. – Hey that brick goes nowhere. – Good work Mike. – Thank you. – Hey Josh! – Season 22 of Pimp My Ride. So, we gotta start by rolling out our dough. So I got this giant tarp. And you take that. – Is this gonna work? – Oh yeah it’s gonna work. We got a 50 pound bag of flour and we’re just gonna start. Laying this out there. (coughing) you don’t adjust for wind. You want, yeah, just grab some handfuls, get it on the tarp. This is just so it doesn’t stick. – I see you wore your white shoes Link, that was smart. – Yeah, I wore my flour shoes. – We wanna limit the amount on feet on that, whatever, who cares. Nicole, dough me! Oh my gosh! – Hey Nicole. – Get your back into it. – Hey. – You been kneading that? – Like no tomorrow. – ‘Cause I’ve been wanting it. – All right, so you can just go ahead and dump this dough out. – Oh my gosh. Look at that. – [Josh] Let’s just flip ‘er over. – [Link] That’s a freakin’ lot of dough! How did you knead that? – [Josh] So you have to use your feet. – How big do you want this dough to be? – So the dimensions are gonna be about seven feet by five feet are what we’re looking for. – This is gonna, – We’re gonna need a bigger roller. – Push. – You gotta push down on it. – Ugh. – There it is. You gotta kinda mash. – Ah, ah, ah. – Mash it there. – [Rhett] You gotta push down on it. – Oh! – Undress too, level of comfort. And then you gotta be careful where you’re grabbing. – You know what, we didn’t put enough flour on top of the dough. – Yeah, just pull it, just yank it. – [Link] Josh, this is your idea, man. – [Josh] Eh, it’s workin’. – We’ve destroyed the dough. – No, no, no we got it. – Yeah, see that right there? – You know what, all we did was make a dough pile. – Nicole! – And another dough pile. – We need more dough. Nicole, we’re in a hurry. Thanks Nicole. All right so the way you would actually make a Chicago deep dish pizza is you would start heating up the pan and then you’re actually gonna press the dough into the pan, so maybe we can just do that? Since this is a Chicago deep dish pizza, you’re gonna sprinkle a little bit of corn meal. Great, let’s dump this, – That seemed kinda ceremonial. – Yeah, it’s to bless the pizza car. I think we should dump this right in the middle and figure it out. – Okay. I like that. – One, two, go. – Oh God, oh gosh. – Let it ooze out. – There we go. – Okay, mission accomplished. – We’re just gonna try to smush this everywhere? – Oh yeah. I think once we get, really pat it out. And we can start rollin’ it. – We only have one of these? – Yeah. – And it’s this size? – Yeah. Look we already got the walls. – I can’t. – [Nicole] Do you wanna try this? – Huh? – Yeah. I wanna try it. – Oh crap, what is that? – I don’t know. – It’s a tamper. (laughing) Here, let me get in there. – [Link] I’m trying to give you, – [Rhett] Watch yourself. – [Link] Oh God. Yeah. – There’s not a whole lot that I can do. Except just sort of, – you can say that again. – Yeah, I like that though. – That’s not doing anything. – I’m entering existential crisis mode. – [Josh] I’m just gonna line these bricks. This is gonna be the crust. – [Rhett] Here up. – Okay. – There we go. – Okay. – There it is. – Uh. Push, okay, uh! – You know I got you, don’t be scared. – [Link] I’m not doing anything. I’m not doing anything. – [Josh] Just keep pushing. – That’s what friends are for. – [Josh] This is the Chicago tradition. – We did it! – And it’s not like we got six additional people to help us or anything. – You guys order 80 pounds of cheese? – Yes sir, there it is. – All right so, Chicago deep dish always starts with the cheese before the sauce, so you wanna get about half this in there. – Really before the sauce? – [Josh] Yeah, just kinda creates a nice little insulating layer. – [Link] Oh yeah. – [Josh] There we go. – [Rhett] It’s raining cheese. – Sauce time. (splashing) Oh my goodness. – Boy I love that sloshing sound. – Ahhh! – Start grabbing more cheese and just hucking it in. – Oh it just kinda sunk. (laughing) – [Link] Uh oh. – Uh, okay well. – You gotta go, you gotta do more of a scatter I think. – [Josh] Yeah. – [Link] Oh yeah, look at that, the gentle layer. – Yeah, you really gotta work with the surface tension of the sauce. – All right. – You know that point in every project where you start to doubt whether or not the intended vision is going to be, accomplished, I’m kind of at that right now. – You talking about five minutes in every video we make? – [Rhett] Yeah. – We’re all cheese. Nicole, toppings! – [Link] Okay, so we’re moving on to toppings mode. – Yes, so we got some whole vegetables, you can throw ’em. – That seemed satisfying. – [Rhett] Oh look, it’s floating. – [Link] Oh, whole onions! – Link, I know you don’t like black olives, so I’m just being sparing with them. – [Link] Oh gosh, no, half half half. – Because not everybody, – Half, half. – You ruin every pizza order! – Half! – We don’t do substitutions. – Okay. – [Link] What about these over here? – [Josh] Can we keep placing mushrooms? – Eat around ’em! – Stop! It’s looks prettier. Man. – Put some mushrooms on there. – Oop, I just dropped all of the sliced peppers. – Ah! – On the ground. – No you didn’t. No he didn’t, I’m picking these up, out of a bag. So Josh, this looks like you took a giant summer sausage and just sliced it. (laughing) – Yeah, yeah yeah yeah, for sure. – [Link] Guys, I can tell ya, it’s actually starting to look like a freakin’ pizza. – [Rhett] Yeah, it does. – And now, we bake. – Mike! (laughing) – Looks like a freakin’ pizza, doesn’t it? – I like that you just left the vegetables whole, yeah. – Yeah, why not? – Oh, it’s black olives on the whole thing. – So now what? – Well now we’re gonna put the pizza lid, slash car lid, what do you call the top of the car, a lid? – Oven top? – A hard top. – And then we’re gonna fire up the, the heat rocket or whatever you called it earlier. – Yeah. – [Mike] And then we’re gonna go all the way over the top of the car, all the way to the front. – Oh yeah. – And this is an aftermarket adjustment, so we might have to do a little fitting. So it should just kinda, – [Rhett] Isn’t this how a Bronco works? – Now Mike, there are a lot of holes in this oven. – Do you think any heat might escape? Here, – Here. – Or here. – here. – Or there. – Here. – Or there. – Here. – Oh, yeah right there I guess. On this front corner. Um no, I think we’re fine. – [Rhett] Okay, good. – Fire it up! Heat bazooka, activate! – [Mike] Three, two, one! – [All] Woo! – I almost choked on my pepperoni. – Okay so we took the top off and then put this insulation and this heat blanket on top to make a smaller area for us to heat up. – Yeah, it’s been baking for just short of four hours and then we let it rest for an hour. So it should be cool enough to eat. – [Rhett And Link] Woo hoo hoo! – Oh my goodness. – Look at those bubbles. – [Josh] The dough’s actually rose up through the, we had a mountain of sauce in there! – How is that possible? – Magic! – How is it possible that the dough from the bottom came all the way up and made dough bubbles? – [Josh] I do not know. – What! – [Link] Guys, you did an amazing job. In spite of everything that I believed. – That’s a deep dish pizza. – Look at all of this, oh my goodness. – Okay, but before we get any deeper into this, I feel like, I mean, this is a pizza in a car. We need to get into the pizza, right? – With certain precautions, yes. Surf’s up Dude! Let’s get in some pizza. – [Mike] Why? – Okay, oh. – [Josh] As if it couldn’t get weirder, it might be hot down there. – Whoa. It’s a bit warm. – I’m afraid I might fall. – I’m gonna hold on to the steering wheel. Oh God. Oh God. – Oh! – Watch yourself. – It’s a bit slippery. – You wanna just, hold on to that steering wheel. – Oh! Woo woo! (laughing) – I never thought I would be jealous of this, but I am. I wanna get in bad. – I can get right out here on this. (laughing) – Got you guys a side of ranch. – There you go, there you go. – [Josh] Yeah I like that. – How’s that? – Ah, it’s all right. – It has a bed like quality to it, doesn’t it? – Oh my. – It’s comfy, pillowy. – Oh yeah. – That dough, the way the dough hugs my curves. – Oh yeah. – You know all those new mattresses they’re coming out with? – Yeah. – [Rhett] How ’bout the pizza mattress? – [Josh] That’d be good. – Ohh! – All right, if you wanna go under completely, I think I’m gonna have to assist the dough. So just fold you in. I’m just gonna, I’m just folding you in. Just folding you into the dough. Look at that. Now you’re in a pizza, man. You’re in a pizza, man. You’re the pizza man. You are the pizza man. – Woo! Oh! – Should I experience the same? Dough me. (laughing) – I gotta get on this side. – [Josh] Now that’s what I call a Chicago tradition. – Oh God. You ready? – Yeah I’m so ready. I’ve never been more ready for anything. – [Link] I want you to bite this like a, – Like a pig? – Like a pig. All right now, take a deep breath. – [Mike] Oh my God. – I’m gonna get this all in your beard. Here we go. Look at all of that. Oh my gosh. All of this dough. He emerges! He lives! (groaning) Yes, my creation, is alive! – Papa! (sentimental music) (laughing) – All right, drive us out of here. How do we crank this thing up? – Yeah, you don’t, that’s why we got a tow truck. (majestic music) See you next season! – [Link] Wait, we still gotta spin the wheel. – [Rhett] Oh, crap. – Hi, I’m Zack. – And I’m Danielle. – And we just saw Rhett and Link live in New York for the Bleak Creek Conversations. – [Both] And it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – Thanks to NHTSA who paid for today’s episode, and remember, drive sober or get pulled over.
