GMM 1921: Putting Weird Things In A Pitching Machine

What happens when you put a bath bomb in a pitching machine? (upbeat music) – Let’s talk about that. – Good mythical morning. – As a kid, I was terrified of pitching machines. It’s got that wheel moves that so fast, man. And I was afraid it was gonna rip my coach’s arm off and then I’d have to swing at his arm. – Whoa, okay. – And what if I missed? Can you imagine how embarrassing that’d be for me? – If you missed the arm? – Yeah. – Yeah, that would be embarrassing, but probably not as embarrassing as the time I was trying to hit a cage pumpkin with a baseball bat and lost my balance. And please do not cut to that. – One. (cage clatters) (cage clatters) See him, whoa! (bat clatters) (Rhett laughs) (Link groans) – I’m sure we just didn’t cut to it. – Yeah. – And hopefully, none of that happens today, because we’re gonna use a pitching machine to launch weird things at high speeds, none of which include a human arm or a cage pumpkin, I think? It’s time for putting things in things, (upbeat music) pitching machine edition. Welcome to our lair! The throw zone lair! – Get it? Throw zone? Like ozone, but throw? – In a lair. – Okay, what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna be putting things into this pitching machine that should not or have not maybe before been put into a pitching machine. – Yeah, this is the– – Don’t put your hand on it, come on, safety first! – What, what, what? This is a safe spot, don’t make me nervous. – Well, you’re making me nervous. – Well this is a safe spot to put the hand, I mean, not on, – Why do you have to touch it at all? – not on the spinny. Stop it! – Just talk about it without touch out yet. – I’m not touching! You’re making me nervous. – You’re making me nervous. I don’t want your arm – (indistinct) ripped off like a coach. – to go through there. – This is the First Pitch Baseline, not a sponsor. It will launch stuff up to 70 miles an hour. – Case in point, this is a baseball. Watch it go 70 miles per hour. (ball hits board) – Whoa! – Whoa, whoa, whoa. – Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa. – You see how I caught that grounder? That was like little league. You see that? I caught it. It was like, it just came right back to me, like grounder. – Let’s see you (indistinct). But we’re not gonna do anymore balls. That’s stupid. – Yeah. – That’s for baseball players. And that’s not us. – You know what we’re gonna do? We’re gonna make not a tossed salad, but a pitched salad. (upbeat music) Okay, the first thing you want to do when you’re making a salad is make a base layer of lettuce. – Well, we’ve got all these bowls laid out here, and either it’s gonna spew across it or bounce off the backdrop or I don’t know, we haven’t done this yet. – Well you’re gonna have to – Move a little. – battering ram that thing in there. Get it lettuce! – It’s slowing down, it’s about to cut off. Yep, all right, (lettuce thumps) yeah, hey look, right, into our bowl man! (Link laughs) Look at that! I mean, what are the chances? (machine whirls) (lettuce thumps) (Rhett yells) I made one too! Can you believe that? I made one too. We should just quit while we’re ahead. We just made salads man. (machine whirls) (lettuce thumps) (indistinct), oh. – Whoa, I did it again! What are the, hold on! Look, you don’t seem impressed Link. We’ve just done something that Michelangelo couldn’t do. We made (laughs) three for three salads man. – All right, now let’s put some guacamole in there or whole avocados. – Okay. All right. Go for it. (machine whirls) (avocado thumps) – Oh yeah. (machine whirls) (avocado thumps) Oop, I broke that. Oops, I broke something again. (machine whirls) (metal crashes) Oh! – Oh! Grab an onion. – Oh my goodness. I mean this is like a fricking softball. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. (machine whirls) (onion thumps) Oh! – Whoa! (machine whirls) (onion thumps) Oh! – Oh, oh yeah. (machine whirls) (onion thumps) – [Link] Oh! – We’re gonna send it over the wall. (machine whirls) (onion thumps) – Whoa! – Whoa (laughs)! Here you go. – Let me do it. (machine whirls) (onion thumps) Oh, now I’m scared. – It’ll catch it, it’ll catch it. (Link yells) (Rhett laughs) – How about apples. (Link coughs) How about apples for your salad huh? – How about it? (machine whirls) (apple thumps) – Oh, wow yeah. That’s real nice. (machine whirls) (apple thumps) I think you could toss them from back here. (machine whirls) (apple thumps) Watch this. (machine whirls) (apple thumps) Oh yeah? (machine whirls) (apple thumps) – Oh yeah, let me do that. (machine whirls) (apple thumps) (Link laughs) – Why stop at apples when you can do peppers? – Pepper time. – Put it in like this. (machine whirls) (pepper thumps) Oh, the peppers are giving (machine whirls) nice distribution. (pepper thumps) (pepper thumps) Oh, you’re getting pretty– (pepper thumps) (group laughs) (hosts high five) Who eats raw potatoes in their salad? (machine whirls) (potato thumps) (potato thumps) (potato thumps) (potato thumps) (machine groans) – Whoa, okay. – Oh, oh, oh, oh! What is that? – It’s mozzarella. (machine whirls) (cheese splatters) Oh yes! – Oh! Everywhere, bits and bits. You know what? – Did you see that? – You know what, I don’t even care man. I’m ready for this one. (machine whirls) (cheese splatters) (cheese splatters) Nothing. – You like blue cheese, right? – No, but you do. (Rhett laughs) – I’m not getting blue cheese all over me. – [Link] Come on, man. – I’m not going to smell like blue cheese for the rest of the day. (machine whirls) (cheese splatters) Whoa! – Whoa! – Yeah, oh, it’s crumbling. – I’m telling you. (cheese splatters) Whoa! – Boy, that wheel smells like cheese now. It’s a cheese wheel. Link, I have a lot of little tomatoes. I don’t know if these are, I really got to give some momentum here. (machine whirls) (tomatoes splatter) (Stevie laughs) – That didn’t. – Yeah, that didn’t really amount to much, did it? – And last but not least, another baseball. (machine whirls) (baseball thumps) oh! – Whoa (laughs)! You know what, – Man. You forget about the power. – it seems like it was made to put a baseball in there. – Yeah, you forget about the power associated with it. – All right, let’s turn it off, and let’s find our favorite bowl. – I got a bowl of nothing but blue cheese. – I got a bowl of pepper and apple and a little bit of avocado. – And I got a bowl of three chunks of cheese and then one little chunk of apple. – There are restaurants in this town where this would pass for a salad. – Like your neighborhood bar and grill? Is that what you’re talking about? Dink it. – No, I mean like a fancy restaurant. – And sink it. (Link spits food out) Tastes like pitching machine. – I kind of like it. (upbeat music) Why bust a piñata with a baseball bat when you could bust a piñata by launching baseballs at it at 70 miles per hour? – As you can see, we have suspended our Elmo piñata. He’s saying hello, or maybe, maybe help me. – Bye (laughs) Okay Link, there’s only one way to approach a piñata and that is a little bit dizzy and disoriented. – Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. – We do not advise you to do this at home. Whenever you approach a pitching machine at home, you should not, – Whoa, is that, I think that’s my phone. – You should not be dizzy. I got your phone. Everything’s gonna be okay. – Okay, okay. – Now approach the piñata, I mean approach the thing. Can you see it clearly? – Yeah. (machine whirls) (baseball thumps) – Whoa, okay. A little bit low. – Your turn. – I’m gonna get dizzy while you adjust that. Okay, whoa, whoa. – You get a ball. Drop the bat. (bat clatters) (baseball thumps) Oh! – Oh! (baseball thumps) (Rhett and Link yell in slow motion) (baseball thumps) Oh! – Oh! He’s not dead yet! – Whoa. – He’s just been tickled a little bit. – Oh yeah, he had a belly full of mashed potatoes. – All right, I don’t know if you knew this, but the model that we bought is not Tickle Me Elmo. It’s decapitate me Elmo. – Oh, okay, well bring it up a little bit. – So let me, actually, I’m gonna get dizzy. You adjust it to go right for that noggin. Ready? (machine whirls) – Yeah. Do it. Do it now. Right at his head. – Oh man, I’m really dizzy this time. Action. (baseball thumps) Oh! – Oh! (baseball thumps) (Rhett and Link yell in slow motion) (baseball thumps) Oh! – Oh! Decapitate me Elmo! – Look at that Elmo. Oh, we tickled him so hard. – Look at that. – Leave it up there Link, leave it up there. Let’s annihilate it some more while it’s there. – I’m gonna throw this out there when you, give me a count. (baseball thumps) Oh! (Rhett laughs) – Hey, I was a little close. – Whoo! – You came into our parking lot Elmo, and we tickled you to death. (Elmo hits ground) – Take that Sesame street. I actually really love Sesame Street. – Yeah, it’s a great program. – Holds a special place in my heart. (upbeat music) – You like coloring? – Yeah. – You like books? – Yeah. – Well we got a mythical coloring book for adults of all ages. – Yeah. Yeah, it’s so soothing. Get it at mythical.com. – Yeah. – Hey Rhett. – What? – You ever wonder what it would be like to put baby doll heads into a pitching machine? – Yeah. You ever wonder what would it be like to try to hit them with a mannequin leg? – Yeah. Okay. – Let’s do it. You want to go first? – I’m gonna go first, because I’m not a good batter. – But have you ever batted baby heads with a leg? – Nope. – You might be great at this Link. Now because we’re both delicate flowers, we’re very well-protected. – I’m dressed like a catcher. – I’m dressed like a catcher, and I’m pitching. – I got to take the gloves off. The gloves are coming off. – Why? – ‘Cause they’re too small. I can’t grip the mannequin leg. (Rhett laughs) – Here we go. (machine whirls) (baby doll head thumps) – Ow, you hit my elbow man! (Rhett laughs) – Heads up Neil. (baby doll head thumps) – Oh, you hit my hand! (Rhett laughs) Right when I took the glove off. – Yeah, hey, be ready man. Here we go. – Okay. (baby doll head thumps) – Oh! – It’s a little inside. Do you want me to adjust it? – That baby doll head was moaning as it came in. It made a sound like (groans), and I’m not exaggerating. – All right, I moved it more to the middle, okay, ready? (baby doll head thumps) Don’t be so scared. – Give me a countdown, all right. (baby doll head thumps) (baby doll head thumps) It’s a little low man. (baby doll head thumps) I’m exhausted. (baby doll head thumps) (baby doll head thumps) – [Rhett] Oh yeah, you had contact! (baby doll head thumps) – What is that? (baby doll head thumps) – Oh, hey grounder! Grounder! – I hit it. I hit it. – I think he got thrown out, but– – I’m too tired to celebrate. Okay Rhett, your turn, and my advice is pace yourself. – Remember Babe Ruth Link? – Okay, whatever. Here it comes. – When he pointed to the left field. (machine whirls) (baby doll head thumps) – [Link] A little high? (baby doll head thumps) A little low, oh. (baby doll head thumps) Oop, a little low. Did it hit you? – Yeah. (baby doll head thumps) – Oh, that was a strike man. (baby doll head thumps) Oh yeah! (Rhett yells) Did it hit you? – [Rhett] That thing came so fast and touched my nose. – [Link] It touched your nose? No, it didn’t. – I mean the baby’s nose, the baby’s nose touched mine. I kissed it. – No it didn’t. (baby doll head thumps) Oh, reaching for it. (baby doll head thumps) Oh! – Yeah. – [Link] Grounder, yeah! Hit the camera! – I hit the camera. (Link yells) – Okay, now I’ve got toilet paper. – And I’ve got a plunger. – Here we go. (machine whirl) (toilet paper thumps) – Whoa, whoa, (Rhett laughs) that was, it was like a goose flying out. – [Rhett] Yeah (laughs). (toilet paper thumps) Yeah! (toilet paper thumps) Yeah Link! (Link yells) (toilet paper thumps) Yeah, that’s in the strike zone. (toilet paper thumps) – Whoa, sorry! (Rhett laughs) All right, did I inspire you? – Oh yeah, that line drive right into left field? Yeah. – Whole first, okay. (toilet paper thumps) Oh! – Yeah. Bring it, bring it! – Strike man. (toilet paper thumps) No you whiffed! Go! (toilet paper thumps) (toilet paper thumps) – Yeah! Okay, I’ll take a base. – [Link] Here we go. (toilet paper thumps) (laughs), I aimed it at you. (toilet paper thumps) – Whoops. (toilet paper thumps) Oh! – Nice! – Whoa. – Yes! – I broke it. – What the crap? – I broke the bat. – Look at this! (laughs) I’m like Bo Jackson. You see that? You see that? – Oh man. – Am I too close to the camera? – [Rhett] Probably. – Hey, I got to give it to you, man, whoo! I’m not gonna high-five somebody who just broke a plunger. – Well, we got more to hit. – Bath bombs. I got a baseball bat. I got bath bombs y’all. – Oh crap. I mean it’s the same shape and size as baseball. – Here we go. (machine whirls) (bath bomb thumps) – A little low, oh, you had a little puff happen back there. – A little puff. That was Puff the magic dragon over here. Here we go. – That was short. (bath bomb thumps) (bat smacks bath bomb) Yes! – Oh! (bat smacks bath bomb) (Link and Rhett yell in slow motion) – Yeah. – Hey, that was good contact. – That was nice, right? (bath bomb thumps) (bat smacks bath bomb) – [Rhett] Oh yeah, that’s good. (bath bomb thumps) – Oh, oh, oh! – Sometimes the ball just particulates. – Hey, hey, hey! I just, things get out of hand, man. (bath bomb thumps) Oh, that was a nice one. – You like those noises I’m making when I’m swinging? – Yeah, you sound like Monica (indistinct). – Eh! (bath bomb thumps) (bat smacks bath bomb) Oh yeah! – Oh, hey, hey, hey, that was awesome. That was awesome. – Whoo! – You made contact over here. – Did I hit a lens? Morgan, you all right? Bombs away Rhett! (bath bomb thumps) (bat smacks bath bomb) Yeah, nice! – Yeah. (bath bomb thumps) (bat smacks bath bomb) Yeah. – Oh, another nice. (bath bomb thumps) (bat smacks bath bomb) Oh! – Oh! Take a base. (Rhett yells) – [Link] Whoo! We did it, boom! (bath bomb thumps) – I’m gonna break this bat on my knee. Ah, no I’m not. – Do it! No, don’t do that. – I’m not gonna do that. – I’m gonna break this bath bomb on your chest. (Rhett groans) – Give me another one (laughs). (Rhett groans) That hurts more than it should. – I’m gonna save these for my bath. – Okay, good. – Well, did you learn anything? Don’t answer that. – Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – You know what time it is? – Hi, my name is Chris, and I am in a field of sunflowers, and it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – Well, that’s fitting, because in Good Mythical More, we’re gonna taste every flavor of David’s sunflower seeds. – Yeah! So click through (upbeat music) to see where the wheel ends. (wheel spins) (Rhett laughs) Color your way through the world of mythicality with the mythical coloring book available at mythical.com.
