GMM 1771: Leaving Eggs In Things For A Month (Experiment)

What happens when you leave a hard boiled egg in laundry detergent for a month? – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat electronic music) Good Mythical Morning. – Today we’re gonna be experimenting with chicken eggs. Now you like eggs, right? – Yeah I love eggs. – Something I’ve been thinking about lately, what if your wife could lay eggs, and let’s say she laid an unfertilized egg, like a chicken egg. Would you eat it? – I was not prepared for this question. (Link laughs) And it makes me uncomfortable to think about. – Hey that, hey. – And I don’t feel like I have an answer at the moment. – It’s okay, it’s a tough question. I’ve actually given a lot of thought to it, but we can table the conversation to a Good Mythical More and that’ll give you more time to think about it. – Okay, but for now, why don’t we just move right along and head on over to the shelf that we leave things on, or as we like to call it, The Shelf That We Leave Things On. We’ve done coke, bleach, air, Guinness, salt, pool water, nail polish remover, mouthwash, champagne, Shamrock Shakes and Irish whiskey! I 93, Infinity T20, margaritas, dirt, wine, glow sticks, citric acid, and even Red Bull, but today we’re gonna do, drum roll please! Eggs. It’s time for Left on a Shelf, Oops! All Eggs Edition. – Today we are flipping our shelf concept inside-out or upside-down or something like that. Instead of taking multiple objects and putting them all in one liquid for a long period of time, we’ve instead taken lots of liquids and putting an egg into them. – Something about your grammar messed up there, but I know exactly what you mean. – I’m confused, lot of eggs, in different liquids. – Yes and if we can guess what happened in at least three rounds we’re gonna receive the world-famous Egg Leg. But if we guess three correctly, but if we don’t get three correctly. – You confused it. – Then we’re going to watch the world-famous Egg Leg get destroyed right in front of us and it’s one of a kind, it’s gonna hurt our feelings! – I’m so egg-cited. (child screaming) – Okay so first up we left a raw egg with the shell on and a hard-boiled egg with the shell off in laundry detergent for a month. Which egg exploded like Link into a jar of peanut butter? A- – Listen, I’m tired of this. Just drop it! – You’re the one who likes peanut butter so much. – Alright here’s the thing, egg exploding, now that’s exciting. So it’s either one or the other but they haven’t given us both as an option. – [Rhett] What does detergent do? – I can’t imagine. It cleans things, Rhett. – But is an egg dirty? – Maybe the eggshell is dirty, I mean it came out of a chicken’s butt. – It’s just soap. – I can imagine a raw egg exploding, I mean it’s a shell, maybe there’s a pressure situation. – But what’s gonna make, what’s gonna cause pressure to happen? – My intuition is telling me the raw egg. Well I mean, exploded? – I just feel like something happened to the hard-boiled egg, like. – It expanded? – It expanded and it was termed an explosion. But, the way they used the term explosion. It’s like if this is just gonna break… – Excuse me, my glove farted. (Link’s glove squeaking) – I just feel like they would say that it broke. – Right. Oh, so you’re going for the hard-boiled? – I don’t know anymore. Okay, if you feel strongly about the raw egg? – No, let’s go with the soft-boiled. – Okay, soft-boiled. – Nope, hard-boiled. – Hard-boiled. – Okay, first, – But no shell. – let’s reveal, I don’t see anything. – I see it and it’s fully intact. They did not explode. But that one did! – Yes! Okay, so let’s dissect this crap. – There’s no need to take that one out, that’s just an egg. – Well, I wanna see it. Okay, look at that, guys, it’s just an egg. – And it’s just very clean so you could eat it now. – Covered in blue goo. – And what about this one? – Alright. – [Stevie] Crack it though. – Crack it? – [Stevie] Yeah, I wanna see! – I’ll get cracking, that’s a good idea. Ooh, now, see this. Oh! – [Rhett] Look at the egg, the yolk just popped right out ’cause it got exploded. – Oh, look at how it exploded. Look at that, it just… I’m shaking. – So excited. Good gracious. – Look how much I’m shaking. – Have you had your coffee? – I’ve had multiple. – Okay, alright. Stevie, just because you asked. – It’s just an egg, Stevie. – Just an egg. Just an egg, was not exciting. (Rhett laughs) (child screaming) – Next, our illustrious Mythical crew has left a raw egg, still in its shell of course, I don’t know how you have a raw egg not still in its shell. – Well, you just crack it. – And a hard-boiled egg, still in its shell, both in some good old buttermilk here. Cultured, because it’s highfalutin. – That’s right, it spends its summers in the Hamptons. – Alright, so our options are, after a month which egg made the buttermilk separate like Rhett and his barber? – That’s right. – Is it A or B? – Haven’t talked in weeks. – But not both. Separate, is that the same as curdling? I mean, buttermilk just left out for a month is gonna get nasty. Unless there’s an egg in it. – But one of them didn’t. One of them didn’t separate, apparently. – And I think that’s the real story here. He’ll… – Real story he’ll. – Is that, – Is… – Which egg makes the buttermilk not curdle? – I love cultured buttermilk. – The raw egg’s, you know it, something’s gonna creep out of the eggshell, and then do something to make the buttermilk separate. – Here, I wanna agree with you. But I’m going to disagree and here’s why. – Just tell me why. – [Rhett] Because the hard-boiled egg shell has been compromised by the boiling process. – Okay. – So therefore, it has become different. (he laughs) – It’s become weakened. – It’s become weakened. – Porous. – And now it’s letting something inside the egg out that the, unfettered raw egg… – And we went with me last time and then I was right, when we were torn. – No but you were wrong! – I though we had it right! – You wanted to go with the raw egg! You have such a weird memory! And I said, let’s go with a hard-boiled and I was right. (he laughs) – So you were right? – Right. (he laughs) – So, maybe… – Are you witnessing this in real time? – [Stevie] He’s trying to protect himself mentally. – No, he rewrites history! But sometimes- – It’s okay! – Within like four minutes he rewrites history. – [Stevie] It’s okay. You know what? You’re both great. (Rhett laughs) – Okay fine, I’ll go with you. – I’m just saying, I’ve got some logic behind my answer. – I also had logic. – [Rhett] But what’s the logic? – That the liquid goes through the shell but the boiled stuff doesn’t go through the shell, even if it’s compromised. – Okay we’ll go with you this time. Just so you remember. – No, I wanna go with you. – Partner, just so you remember. – [Both] We’re going with you. (Rhett laughs) – Okay. – Our answer is my answer, which is the hard-boiled egg in the shell. – Okay, so let’s look at the raw egg in the shell first. And see if it’s separated. – Oh my goodness, oh, I just took that one off too by accident. They look both… No, this one’s separated. Right? What’s happened here? – Something happened but I feel like it happened more in here, but this is technically separated. – [Stevie] Guys, what’s the real lesson learned here though? – We don’t know yet, let’s open it. – [Stevie] Well, I think it’s okay if you’re both right. – I can’t open it. – You know? – Oh, so it’s C, both? – [Stevie] Well, I’m just saying metaphorically, or, you know. – No I think you’re right. I think if we go, I think that, see, this separated, and this is the raw egg. – But that wasn’t… Your answer. – No, this this was your original answer until you made it my answer. – Right. – Okay. Let’s just, we need to see if something has happened to the actual egg itself. – Okay. Ooh. – [Rhett] Oh, see, look at there. Look at there. – [Link] What is that, that’s just a… – Look, the hard-boiled egg broke. – Well, no, just some of the shell came off. This isn’t broken. – That’s what I’m saying, the shell came off. – And look, it’s about to burst, but it’s not. – And my theory is that the regular egg is uncompromised. Nope, it broke as well. They both broke. – What is this? It just broke. – They both cracked. – [Link] It’s just cracked a little bit though. Oh! – [Rhett] And now it cracked a lot. – So, this is the raw one see? But it made it separate more. And then this one. It’s just an egg. Nothing’s gonna happen. – Okay, so because Link insisted on going with my answer, we were wrong. (he laughs) (child screaming) – Oh, look what I found. – Oh! – It’s the The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek, the novel that we wrote, now in paperback version with exclusive appendices at the end. Check it out, bleakcreek.com. – Now it burns much easier. – Get you one, get one for a friend. It’s a fun story, kinda scary. – Next we left a fried egg in a jar of malic acid. – [Both] And that’s malic acid. – So that’s it, so now it’s severely simplified. Which is what my brain needs right now. – [Rhett] Right, this is just malic acid. – [Link] Right, so did the fried egg what? – A, shrink like me on the inside every time I go to the movies and the ticket attendant says, enjoy your movie and I say, you too? – Oh. – I’ve done it, we’ve all done it. – You shrink on the inside? – Yep. Or B, got rock-hard like Popeye at Tender Greens? – Oh goodness. (he laughs) – He likes spinach! – Does it get hard or does it, – Oh, and there’s a C! – Shrink? – Both shrank and got hard. Both shrank. – Like the cast in the less talked about sequel Honey I Shrunk the Gym. – Never saw it. – It’s less talked about for a reason. – Okay so shrink, get hard, or both? – Okay. Fried egg, just straight-up malic acid. – I mean, seems like it would… – My mouth puckered. – Yeah, it makes your mouth area get smaller. – But when things shrink, they get hard. – Yes, and- – Not everything. – I’m thinking C. Shrink and get hard. There it is, let’s do it. – I’m on board, C. – We’re saying shrink and get hard. We agree. We’re either both right or both wrong. – And we have to be right if we agree. Okay, it shrunk. It shrunk. – Look at the layering, ’cause they buried it. – Now see how hard it is. See how hard it is. – Let’s do some excavation here. – I think it got hard. – I’m gonna do this so you can really see it. Is that a bad idea? Good idea. – Oh, it’s hard. – Oh, that’s just malic acid. That’s just malic acid. – [Rhett] Basically the yolk… – [Link] Look at that! – [Rhett] Is it hard? – Oh it’s hard. It’s hard, touch it. – Oh that’s hard. – It’s so hard. – It shrunk and got hard. – It shrunk, and got hard. – You know what that means. – Yeah. – It means we were right. – That’s kind of sad though, you know? You kind of want… – Well eat it, if it makes you feel better about it! (child screaming) – For the past month we left a hard-boiled egg in its shell in bleach and another one in Frank’s RedHot. So our options are, which liquid ate away at the egg’s shell, leaving it all soft and squishy like, the things we left in Chase for two months? – Upcoming episode. – Is it the bleach or Frank’s RedHot, and those are our only options? – Well… – Soft and squishy. – You would think both of these things have some kind of property in them that… Could be detrimental to the surface of an egg. I mean my knee-jerk response is… – Yeah, your knee-jerk response is? – Bleach. Because- – But, that RedHot. – I mean- – It will eat through some stuff. – You can put a dead body in bleach. – But RedHot, it’s strong, it’s peppery. – Yeah, but you put it in your body all the time. – Yeah, I mean this stuff is fricking toxic. – This is poison. It’ll eat away at your insides. – This is one of the last ones, so don’t you think they wanna, like. – Oh they wanna throw us off. – They wanna throw us off. – Reverse psychology. – We are gonna go with Frank’s RedHot. – Or, is it reverse reverse psychology? They knew that we would think this. – I don’t think they’d give us enough credit to think through things. – So you’re saying that you wanna go hot sauce? – Yeah, reverse psychology. – Okay, we’re going with hot sauce! Let’s check the bleach first. – Oh it’s still there! But, it looks very soft and squishy. – [Rhett] I don’t know if it’s soft and squishy or not. – [Link] Let’s reveal the other one. – Alright, we’re gonna go to the- – Can’t tell, so. – Give me that bowl. – Alrighty. – We’re having to go to the videotape. – Pour this one out. And then use that right there. – [Rhett] I don’t know how soft that felt. You wanna grab it? – Yeah I wanna grab it. It’s squishy right there on the end. Like that, feel the end of it. – [Rhett] Oh, okay. – [Link] That’s soft and squishy but feel up this end of it. – [Rhett] That’s hard. – Hard. – Okay, let’s see. – I don’t know what happened to that one, we may have to dissect it. – Let’s see, let’s see how the egg feels. I said that like I was, now we’re dealing with egg! This egg feels. – Now, what happens when you mix Frank’s RedHot and bleach? – Okay egg is, egg is hard. – Totally hard. Totally hard! Meaning we got it! We won the Egg Leg! Thank you! – Oh, wow! – There you go, be careful. This is one of a kind. – What are we supposed to do with it, Chase? ‘Cause it feels like it’s breaking. – Needs to be shaven. Wow, did you make this? – We also left Link’s glasses in eggs for a month. – Oh.
