Hey, science. Come on in. Instructions? Get outta here. – Let’s talk about that. (gentle upbeat music) – “Good Mythical Morning.” – Rhett, my good man. May I interest you in any guides, manuals, instructional pamphlets, perhaps? – No, I’m good. – You sure? – Yeah, I’m good. – You positive? – Yeah. – What about this handy dandy, oh, so sciencey handbook? – Oh. Nope. Nope. I’m good. I’m fine. Don’t need it. – Well done, my son. You have finally proven yourself and you’re now ready to take on the world science experiments with your bare brains. It’s time for: Science Without Guidance Featuring The Beaker Boys. – You know how the beaker boys get down. We’re gonna be given items needed to conduct some science. There’s not gonna be any instructions, no pamphlets, no guides, but there will be decoy items in there to throw us off science’s scent. Do you know the scent of science? – Formaldehyde. (Link sniffs) – At least as a kid, you know, you’d go in a lab and you’d smell formaldehyde. – Yeah, and like a test tube smell. – Yep. – We’re gonna start out with 20 points. – Smell of glass. – We’re gonna spend those points on lifelines along the way. But if we lose our points, we run out. If we have points in the end, that means we’ve won and we will be honored with the prestigious baby bell prize for science. – Wow, that’s like the Nobel Prize, but cheese, probably. – [Stevie] Okay, beaker boys. You must use some combination of the items in front of you to achieve an amazing scientific result. Your lifelines are as follows. A message from Science Mike-ayla, about the scientific principle at play. – There she is. – [Stevie] This costs one point. I tell you the decoy item or items, this costs two points each. – We always love that one. – Two points for every item. – [Stevie] Yeah. I tell you what result you are trying to achieve. This costs three points. And if you don’t make science happen before time is up, that’ll cost you five points. I’m gonna put 10 minutes on the clock now, and let’s start. – We have vinegar. – Yum. – We have baking soda. You know what those two do together. – Volcano! – We also have a tea bag. – Tea volcano. – We have a- – Balloon. – And then we have a- – Candelle. – I call this a tea candle. – A tea candle. – [Link] Is that what it’s called? – [Rhett] And we have tea. – And then we have a working, a non-working- – Non-working lighter. – There we go. – Oh, it’s working on the second try. – And then we have two glasses. Two glasses. Two glasses. I think we should try to burn everything. See what happens. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. What does vinegar burn like? Hey bro, bro. – None of this rings of science. – I believe that we should get rid of one of these items. – [Link] All right, let’s get rid of the balloon. – Well, I was gonna say- – Stevie. – That Stevie should tell us if we should we get- – What should we get rid of? – [Rhett] Rid of one of the items. – [Stevie] You do not need the balloon. – Ha! – Dang it. – See? – We didn’t even need that. – All right. – There. Light that candle. – I’m gonna light the candle and I’m gonna, I’m not gonna use that cup. I’m gonna use this cup over the candle. – Oh, there’s something there. – And it’s gonna create a vacuum. How many decoys are there? – [Stevie] Two. – We’re gonna have to take this away from you. – That? Okay, fine. – You know what? Okay, how much does it cost to find out the reaction or whatever, the thing we’re trying to demonstrate. – Mikayla is just one point. – [Stevie] Mikayla’s one point. – Let’s do Mikayla. – [Stevie] Result is three points. – Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold. But the result is three points and Mikayla is a principle that’s at play? – [Stevie] Yeah. – Okay. Mikayla. Yeah. – Science Mike-ayla. – What’s up, beaker boys. – Hey. Hey. Welcome back. Nice jacket. – Thanks so much. Lucas made it for me. – Yeah, he knitted. – He knitted it. All right. While flight wouldn’t be possible without the lifting power of air, even air gets weighed down from time to time. I’ma say it one more time. – Even air gets weighed down. – From time to time. – Heavy air. – While flight wouldn’t be possible without the lifting power of air, even air gets weighed down from time to time. – So we’re gonna smoosh air. – Thank you. – [Mikayla] You’re welcome. – For nothing. – But how are we gonna, okay, what do we have that would demonstrate the air was getting heavy, Link? – Float this on some vinegar? – And it pushes it down? – Just pour the vinegar in here. – I do like the idea of floating that candle. – Because it’s a votive candle, isn’t it? Which is floating? Votive means floating. – How do you know this? You can, you know, you can float it then light it. ‘Cause it’s gonna be much more difficult to set it down. – No, I think that would be difficult. And then take that and- – Yep. Yep. So it might be easier to light it now. (candle sparking) Whoa. – Okay. – And now what? – How do we make the air heavy? – What about tea? – Does hypnotizing the candle, does that make air heavy? – I think if you pour, pour some of the baking soda into the side like this, and then- – [Stevie] Five minutes remain. – And then put this over it. – Well, you extinguished it, all right. – What just happened to the air? – What do you think is- – I think it got heavier. – What do you think is more helpful at this point? I think finding out the result. – We gotta find out the result. – Is more helpful than finding out another decoy. – Stevie, what’s the result? – [Stevie] We’re looking for a revolutionary way to make birthday wishes even when you’re out of breath. – Yeah. So we’re gonna find a way to blow out a candle, which you almost did, my friend. – But then, so we don’t need the teabag. – Is there a way to create a reaction in here, where it literally, the air comes out and falls down and blows out a candle? Like if I were to do this, like if you light that candle and have it just sitting there- – Let’s just put the candle on here. – Well, but then it’s gonna get the, we need the tray. – Okay. And then we’re gonna- – I’m gonna try to make heavy air. – [Link] Well, hold on, let me light this first. – I think if I get this close enough, I’m gonna blow it out. Watch this. – Of course this will work. – [Rhett] See? (crew laughs) – [Stevie] So you have just over two minutes remaining. I’ll give you this. There’s a reason that you have two glasses. – Yeah. It’s something about- (glasses clinking) (crew laughs) Is there a- (Link sneezes) Oh, so you know what? – That right there. – Oh, I got it. – That’s the power of science. – I got it. Light it again. Light it again. Light it again. Light it again. You could light the same one. Just ’cause you sneezed in it doesn’t mean it’s bad. – You want it in the bottom? – Yes. Use the other one. Use the other one. – This one works! – More, more, more, more, more, more. Now watch this. Okay, stop. Stop. I’m gonna just hold it over it and do this. And the air’s gonna come out and go around and come down. – [Stevie] Five, four, three- – And put it out. – [Stevie] Two. – See? – [Stevie] One. (buzzer rings) (crew laughs) – Hey, hey. I did it. I’ve done it twice now. – [Stevie] Okay. – I did the thing. – [Stevie] I’m sorry to say. You didn’t quite make it, but let’s take a look at how Caitlin did it. (upbeat music) – [Link] Okay. – [Rhett] Oh, that’s not even in the glass. – [Link] Well, she’s got three candles. And look, she poured vinegar, and she’s, yep, she made the volcano. Now what does she do? – [Rhett] She’s just pouring. Oh my gosh! She just made air! (crew laughs) – What? – She just made air! – She’s an air manufacturer? – You can carry it around in a glass! You can take it to little kid’s birthdays. – [Stevie] When vinegar mixes with baking soda, it produces carbon dioxide. Since carbon dioxide is heavier than air, when you pour it over the candle, you’re pushing the air around the candle away from the candle, and the fire needs the oxygen in the air to exist. Without it, it’s extinguished. – You don’t need that much. – [Stevie] So for this experiment, the complete effect takes about 10 minutes to finish. I just need you to start it before the time’s up. – Well, that’s a hint. – [Stevie] Sure. Take it as a hint. Your time starts now. – Okay, this one’s gonna require getting your phone. Let’s use your phone. – What? What? What are you talking about? – Where’s your phone? – You’re wasting time, man. – You wanna dip your phone in the water. – What? What are you doing? – And then put it in rice. That’s what you do, man. – We have salt, we have rice, we have a cup, we have an extra large playing card, and we have another cup, and then of course, when you do this- (glasses clink) – When you do what? – I don’t think we need both of these. Water. – The salt makes sense ’cause salt causes things to happen. I think- – Rice could be something that like could hold this up. – [Rhett] I question- – [Link] In a vertical kind of sense. – Oh, you know what? Okay. We know that it takes 10 minutes. Link, I completely agree. Here’s what I think is the effect. – You wanna just pour some wine over that card? – I think that using the cohesive property of water and maybe wine so you see it, we’re trying to get this whole card to turn the color of wine over the course of 10 minutes by moving up this card. I believe that is what we’re here to do, my friend. – So we’re not gonna ask for this to go away. Mikayla was so unhelpful before. It’s only one point. – The principle? – I think since you’re so certain. – The result is better than the decoy items. I think. We always start with getting rid of things, but we’re just wasting two points, two points, two points. For three points- – That’s why I think we should ask Mikayla. One point. – You think she was so helpful or unhelpful? – I think she, I think you have a theory. Mikayla, come on in here. – Well, no, before you, Mikayla can come in here. But listen, before we get her to say anything. – Mikayla, Rhett don’t want you to say anything. – What I’m trying to say, which I don’t think you’ve heard me yet, is we always wait to the last second to ask Stevie what we’re trying to do, when maybe what we’re trying to do is the first thing we should do. – I know. It’s just not fun that way, though. – Okay, Mikayla. It’s not fun unless you tell us something that doesn’t matter. – Don’t you agree? (Stevie laughs) – I don’t know. That defeats the purpose of my job. – Listen, I think what you said last time was helpful and I got close to pulling it off. – You did! Heavy air. – Okay, go ahead. – Anyway. Now, while you don’t want to be dense in life, it pays to be dense right now. – Oh gosh, so we’re trying to do density testing. – Density. – Yep. – Density, son. – Do y’all want it one more time or think you got it this time. – We got it. – You got it. We want to be dense. So now, if you’re putting- – Salt changes the- – If you put rice- – Density. – If you put salt in one thing and rice in another. – Now you’re on to something. – How does this have to do with density? Like the density of the water? – So right now you got water, regular water. You put rice in it. Don’t put salt in it. Don’t. – I’m not gonna put salt in. – Well, I never know. You grab things and you’re a very aggressive personality. – I’m gonna put salt. – And it’s intimidating to me and everyone else. – What do you want me to do? – And then this is the other thing that we do, right? – 10 minutes later. – And then 10 minutes later, miracles will happen. – This one’s gonna get denser and that one is going to- – Some rice is gonna float to the top and some rice is not gonna float to the top. And we’ll just be enjoying our, not enjoying our wine because it’s YouTube. We’re just enjoying holding it. – [Stevie] A little over five minutes remain. – Oh! Come on. Does that mean I didn’t get it? – I think we need to get rid of something. – But I am interested in what happens in the next 10 minutes with this, so let’s just set this aside. – We only have eight points left. – I’ll check back in. – Do you want to spend three on the objective? – Yes, I do. Because we’re not gonna get it if we don’t. – Okay, Stevie. – [Stevie] All I’ll say about this intended result is, if you’re able to pull it off, it would be biblical. – Water into wine. Okay. How do you turn water into wine? I think if we poured wine into this one, went like that and then went like that, that wouldn’t really be science. That’d be more magic. – Oh, I know what it is. Salt water and wine mixed together over the course of 10 minutes will make some cool layer effect. It’s gonna take 10 minutes. – What? – I’m saying that right now we just do this, right? Finger stir. (liquid sloshes) And then we do this and it’s just gonna mix, right? – [Link] Ooh. – But if we wait 10 minutes, it’s gonna create a really cool layer of wine and water. – So the rice is a decoy. – Rice is the decoy and the card is a decoy. – You’ve already made wine. You’ve actually ruined wine. – So that’s not it? – [Stevie] I can’t tell you what you don’t need, but I feel bad for you, and I was- – All right, fine. Tell us something we don’t need. – [Stevie] I accidentally left my rice and salt that I needed to make rice over there earlier. Sorry! – We don’t need rice or salt. – [Rhett] Or salt. – Okay. Yes. Yes. Fill that up. Glug, glug, glug, glug, glug. – [Rhett] And you’re gonna, what you’re gonna do- – [Link] Need a water. – Fill it all the way to the top and then you’re gonna take this card. – Yeah, yeah, I know. – I think you’re gonna bend the card. – I’m gonna do exactly what I said at the beginning. Let the record show. – Hold on. No, you’re not gonna put them on top of each other. Is that what you’re thinking? – Yes. That’s what I’m thinking. – Okay. Well, I’m getting away. – Okay, so I’m gonna do this. No, I’m gonna do this. ‘Cause the wine is denser than the water. So what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna do this and I’m gonna do- – I think this is right. – I’m gonna do this. – I think this is right. – I’m gonna line this up. – [Rhett] No, no, you don’t. No, no, I don’t mean do that! – Too late. 10 minutes later. – [Stevie] A little over one minute remains and you’re so close. – Oh. – If you turn, if you can just turn it over. Put the card back in and turn it. – Okay. (crew laughs) Wine! (Link laughs) Okay. Oh no, I’m too nervous. I’m too nervous. – Don’t mix it. Don’t mix it. And. No! What are you? You don’t take the card out at all. – Wine! (Link laughs) – [Stevie] Time. (buzzer rings) Well, okay, I don’t know if we’ve had such a confusing, down to the second thing happen. I’m gonna show you Caitlin doing it and then we’ll come back, ’cause I think that you deserve some points, just not all of them. (upbeat music) – [Link] She. Okay. Check. And check. And card. Yeah. – [Rhett] Oh, she used a seven. (upbeat music) Yeah. Oh, you only let a little- (crew laughs) You only do a little bit. – Look at that look on Caitlin’s face. – [Rhett] She’s demented. – No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. – What? – No, no, no. She’s engaged. – Oh. Oh. Is this the, is this the announcement? – What? – Did we just make it? – I think she’s engaged to be wed to twinkie fingers. – Oh my goodness. (crew cheers) – What? – [Stevie] You can actually watch them get married over on Mythical Society. (Rhett laughs) Okay. So yes. – Graphics and props. – [Stevie] Water is denser than alcohol, so this is why that trick happened. You were, I wanna give you like half the points. But I don’t wanna do 0.5 because of the graphics team. So I’m gonna round up to three. – Oh yes! – Mazel tov! – Three points! – [Stevie] Into the final round. – We love what’s happening over there on the “Mythical Kitchen.” You watch it, it’ll make you hungry, it’ll make you happy. All right? – Very happy. – They’re launching new episodes of their favorite series. They got Emily doing her best role playing for Meals of History. Other special guests are popping up all over the place. Never know what you’re gonna get, so go over to the “Mythical Kitchen” channel. Aight? – Okay. We got some bubble solution. (Link does psst sounds) – [Stevie] Well, I was gonna re-point out that I put three points on the board for you, but also, technically you needed to have one point left at the end of this thing to win. – So we can’t ask you. We can’t ask her. – [Stevie] And that’s close. I’m gonna say, as long as you don’t go into the negatives. – And get it right. – [Stevie] Yeah. – We will win. – [Stevie] Yeah. – How many decoys in this round? – [Stevie] Two. – Okay, so we got bubbles. – Big Slinky. – Has time started? I hope not. – Big Slinky. Straw. Egg. Powdered dry Jell-O. And a plate. Now, first thing I’ll say, Link, is that I feel like if you were to, this looks like a bubble producing thing. If you could get this thing to be all sudsy and you went like this, it might make crazy bubbles. – Yeah, that sounds like fun. Let’s do it. – So create a bubble for this thing. – The thing that you wanted to do is, last round, was just ask Stevie, which would blow all of our points. – Well, but the only thing we can do is we can get one point from, we could get one point from Mikayla and two points from a decoy item or three points from Stevie. – Which I know that’s what you wanted to do last time. – Well, I think it was the only reason we got close last time. – Well, the density did help. – The biblical helped. (Link exhales) Okay. – That kind of worked. – But what about this? You hold that end down. Get it all good and nice. Now hold it up. Hold it up. (crew laughs) – Why don’t we do this? Turn it sideways. – Get it all on there. Yeah. – Turn it sideways and just like- – Make a bunch of bubbles. – It’s like glazing a ham. – [Rhett] Yes. I love this. – And then just kind of, and then I’m doing this. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. I could have just done that. – Oh, you’re making all kinds of bubbles in there. – And then. – Whoa! Whoa! Hold on, hold on, hold on. Actually, hold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Here. Check. Check this out. – What? – Seriously? – No. Does not work. – No, no. Seriously, seriously. Take that side and unfurl it slowly, very slowly. It’s gonna create a series of bubbles. Look at that. Look at that. – Oh, I saw that. – Okay. So it’s not about doing it fast, it’s about doing slow. Take your time. Okay, you see that? There’s a bunch of bubbles in there. – Oh, we busted those bubbles. – There’s still a lot though. – There’s still a tube. (Rhett blows) Here’s let’s try. (Rhett laughs) Let’s try. – I think there’s something here. – But I think the Jell-O would help. – The Jell-O would help. – I think the Jell-O would make it more gelatinous and bubbly? – Maybe the, you know what? – And then look at this. – No, no, no. You know what? – This is a decoy. – Do you know what would actually do it? – What? – The egg. You mix egg with bubbles. You get bubble eggs. – Okay. Do we wanna spend our points before we start bubble eggin’? – And only the egg white. We don’t need the yolk. We need the egg white mixed in with this, okay? – So the two decoys are those two things. – And the way you do that is you just pass the yolk back and forth and you let the white come out. – Okay. And then you finger stir? – I’ve watched “Mythical Kitchen.” – Finger stir? – Oh gosh. – I think this is gonna really supercharge it. – Now these are egg bubbles, which is a different kind of bubble. – One of us needs to focus! – We need to know what we’re trying to do. – All right, we’re blowing all of our points, Stevie. – Blowing all three points. – [Stevie] You’re sure that this is what, this is your choice. – Okay, so you’re telling us that it’s not too good of a hint. (Stevie laughs) – All right, we’ll get rid of something. – We’ll get rid of something. – [Stevie] You do not need the egg. – Well, too late. – Well, okay. Give us the stuff again. – I thought it was pretty cool, how I just got the egg white in there, though. – I’m so sudsy and eggy. – Don’t need the egg and now we got one point left. We have to get Mikayla’s- – Mikayla, get in here. Come on. Help us. – I brought you some wipes. – Oh, that’s very helpful. – Thank you. – This is the most helpful you’ve been all day. – Oh, thanks. – There’s not a point for that, is there? – No, there’s not a point. I’m just being nice and helpful. – But do you have a point? Do you have something? – I do. I do. – It doesn’t suit you. – Why? – It just doesn’t come naturally. There you go. That’s what I’m talking about, Mikayla. – So mean to me. Anyway. All right, what goes up? No. Sorry. – We’ve already done that. – Let me do that again. What goes down? – Oh. – Must go up. Did I say that right? – What goes down must go up. – Sorry. I’ve been under a lot of pressure lately. – What goes down? – ‘Cause I’m unhelpful. – What must come up? – What goes down must go up. Did I say that right? Sorry. I’ve been under a lot of pressure lately. – Oh, all of that was your hint. – That was all of that. – Oh. Huh. What goes down must come up. – Pressure. – Did I say that right? Sorry. I’ve been under a lot of pressure lately. – Pressure. – What goes down must come up. So it’s what goes up must come down. – We’re gonna make bubbles do something weird! – We’re gonna make bubbles go down, (Slinky ripples) Yeah. Yeah. – Now take this whole thing and Slinky it. Is he gonna come up? – Is he gonna come up? Is he gonna come up? I don’t, hmm. I figure failure is creeping in. I feel the feeling of failure feeling me. I’m being felt up by failure. – [Stevie] Guys. – Dang it. We didn’t do it. We failed! – We failed. – [Stevie] And time. (buzzer rings) – Forget it! – [Stevie] Let’s see how engaged Caitlin does it. (upbeat music) – [Link] Okay. See, look? She did. Oh, we were so, she did a little bit. We were so, we were doing all that. And then. What? Whoa! – [Rhett] Whoa! – Did you see that? – What? Man. Man, you better wife her quick, dude. That’s amazing. Can’t just anybody do that. – Right. That’s a special woman. – Man, you better put a ring on it. – Boy, it’s like that’s how people are gonna move upstairs in the future. – [Stevie] You actually were right that we are dealing with density again here, and pressure. So the bubbles are super light, not dense, not lighter than air, but only slightly heavier, which is why it doesn’t take much energy to keep them aloft. As the small bubble is inflated within the bigger bubble, it ends up over pressurized and wants to expand. Once the big bubble pops, the small bubble gets its wish and proceeds the only way it can, up the spring. – Gets its wish. The bubble gets its wish. – That’s crazy, y’all. – Well, science. Science happened all over us. – We failed. We usually succeed at this. (buzzer rings) I just have a a feeling of emptiness that I’m not used to. – Yeah, but there’s a bigger story here, and it’s one of love. – That’s right. – Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. – Hi, my name is Rachel.
