GMM 2508: How Many M&M’s Can Hold Our Weight?

How many M&M’s will it take to hold me? Let’s talk about that. ((Intro Music)) Good Mythical Morning! Check this out. Oh. Oh. I’m built different. Well, maybe, or maybe ice cream cones are just really easy to crush with your arm like that. You know, it’s really that they’re strong in numbers. When they band together, they show their true strength. And this has been proven by several different artists doing their art on TikTok. Here’s an example. Three. Five. Ten. Sixteen. Okay. The socks are the thing that’s bothering me. Twenty. Why would you stand on glass with socks? Well, if you had ice cream cones holding you up. Twenty-five. It might be plexiglass. Why isn’t he wearing shoes? Oh, 25. Give it to the chickens! And a turkey, I believe. Okay. I understand why people want to watch that. This is apparently. It’s mesmerizing. The world’s new pastime, is seeing random fragile objects take the support of people’s body weight. Oh, you got lotion on today. You lotioned the whole arm today. Oh, you taste the lotion? Yeah. – [Stevie] You guys can’t help but make this a taste test. ((Laughing)) Well, can we do what we just watched? It’s time for Step Right Up! Don’t Be Shy! Place Your Bets! Be Amazed As We Stand on Things for Clicks! – [Stevie] Okay. I’m a little bit nervous about, I know Rhett wears the tiny socks and. Today I got big socks on. Oh. Big socks, feet of the week! I realized, I realized it over the weekend and now I’m realizing it again now. I don’t like seeing socked feet. Oh, well I’ll keep my shoes on. I have a problem with socked feet. – [Stevie] Wait, what happened this weekend? Well. Well, let’s just be clear. The person that you’re talking about had on socks that showed every toe. Yeah, they were toe socks. Toe socks. I feel like that’s different. I think what, he’s messed up socked feet for me. – [Stevie] Well, here’s the thing though. The thing is, you haven’t seen Chase in socked feet. Oh no. I’ve sucked on his feet though. – [Stevie] You’ve sucked on his bare toe. But in socks, I think you’re gonna be maybe pleased. So, before you guys give this a try, we’re gonna see, How Chase does. So, let’s turn to Chase to see what he’s crushing first. Pasta. – [Link] Pasta. Oh, yeah, he’s just in socks. – [Rhett] Yeah, he’s also in a shirt that used to be mine. ((Laughing)) That’s right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. – [Stevie] Okay, so you’re gonna take your whiteboards. And you’re gonna guess, how many pasta noodles does it take to support one whole Chase? And there’s no, I don’t want you to feel any pressure today, but the loser of the game will have to bear the weight of the entire world on their shoulders. Oh no, it’s, oh gosh. – [Stevie] So. Stevie, question. Yes. Maybe you won’t clarify this, maybe you will. Is this pasta just like Vertically placed? I’m gonna, I’m gonna bring you the pasta via Mythical crew member. Okay. Good God, give us the pasta. If that’s, oh, here it is. Oh. Okay. So it’s? So this pasta, Dang it. It’s so silly. Chase and his socks. So is it gonna be like this? – [Stevie] Well, due to gravity, no. It’s gonna be like that? – [Stevie] Yes, yes. And he’s gonna be on glass on top of it? So you started with one and then just kept going? Yeah That’s not a taste test. That feels unfair. I mean, these are so. They’re so hard. It’s like a firecracker. All right Okay, I almost put three but I put four I’ll put three So where are these guesses like? Coming from? The brain. ((Laughing)) I mean, they’re so hard. All you gotta do is take, you gotta triangulate these things. Like, I thought maybe three was, I was like, but maybe he crushed it. And then they definitely forward work. But I think you’re probably right. I think three. I think you triangulated this one, Link. Pasta! Okay, how much do you think Chase weighs? Just like, what are you in your mind, what are you working with? Chase weighs. Does he want us to publish his weight? Chase weighs. On the internet? One hundred and. – [Stevie] I have his consent. Fifty eight pounds. I was gonna say 162. 170. Okay, I do see him giving you some pointer fingers upwards. Exactly? Wow. 168, huh? – [Stevie] Okay, so even with the knowledge that Chase weighs about 170 pounds, we’re going with 3 and 4 pasta noodles. Yeah, this is some hard ass pasta. Definitely. – [Stevie] Okay, let the record show, that I have tried, and let’s play the next video. Yeah, I’d like to change my answer to 5. 1. Oh wow, look it just, it just really crushes. Oh, okay. No! Chase, come on man. Chase, Chase! 25. Almost. I think it’s the shirt he’s wearing. Oh, dang, that’s a. – [Chase] 28. 29. Oh, why is this pasta so hard? We said 3 and 4 ((Laughing)) Wow. So we were off by a factor of 10. Whoops! But I was a little bit more right. Man, “Disc-ecco”, I really believed in you. Disc what? “Disc-ecco” “Disc-ecco” Oh, it slow dried! I didn’t read it! I thought it was fast dried. My whole thought process was based on fast dried pasta. – [Stevie] Okay, so maybe we have a better idea now, going forward. Well, no, because now we’re moving on to a different thing. – [Stevie] I mean, it is whoever’s closer, and technically four was closer than three. Yeah, it was. So you, you got that point. Let’s see what Chase will be crushing next. Saltines. ((Laughing)) Oh, yes. He’s still in pasta mode. I see. ((Laughing)) He got stuck in pasta mode. I thought he said some things. Some things are saltines. Be more specific, man. Okay, now I know these are weak. Let’s open them up. Now is this gonna be just like a bunch of flat saltines on the ground? Are we gonna talk, we talking stacks? – [Stevie] Stacks of individual saltines. So like this? Like a tower? Like a tower. Like this would be a. – [Stevie] Well, you know. They don’t start off as a stack. Wow, that’s a hint. That’s a hint. I just gave you a hint. You know, it’s not one. So like a “col-um” of them. My uncle would call a column a “col-um”. It’s a “col-um” of that saltines. Does it ever go vertical? Eventually. – [Stevie] What? Oh, I thought you meant like the towers. I mean, yeah, but no, no. The gravity again won this one in terms of how they’re stacked. Gravity wins. I don’t. You can’t beat gravity. Do you, what are you assuming? You’re just doodling over there. No, no, I’m putting saltines in between the Ts on my name. I really don’t know how to figure this out, actually. You got something up your sleeve today? I definitely have room. ((Laughing)) You gonna take some saltines home with you? I mean, I think I could, I think I could put the whole box in my sleeve. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Try it. It’s just a loosely fitting sweatshirt. Are you announcing the birth of our savior? ((Laughing)) How many are in a stack? – [Stevie] I will say, like, it wasn’t just like one column of, you know, cause that couldn’t, that wouldn’t make sense. How many are in here? 101. 117. Oh, snap. – [Stevie] Okay, now we’re playing. Yeah, triple dig! – [Stevie] Let’s take a look. One. Nope, that’s not gonna work. It looked like it would work though. Smushed. Three. He’s embarrassed. Five. Come on, we gotta go higher than this, Chase. That’s satisfying. So close. Ten. Fifteen. This is really fun to watch. It’s never gonna not crush. Twenty. Eventually it will. I don’t think so. Twenty-five. It’s a good question, Link. Where your brain is at on this one. What constitutes crushing? Is it full crush? Man, it’s never gonna not crush. No, I think it might never crush. It might get to a point where it doesn’t crush. No, this is gonna go on forever and crush. Is this hell? Yeah. Not yet. Not yet, he said. Seventy-Five. Is this what hell is? Watching Chase stand on saltines? Oh, no. It’s crushing. Are they crushed? One, two, three, four. I heard a noise. Those are good. Those are good. So basically, the stack stayed intacted. You know what I’m saying? So there was a little bit of maybe cracking, but like it didn’t proliferate all the way through. Well, I’m loving the answer because that means I won. – [Stevie] How are you feeling about Chase’s socked feet at this point? I wish they were blurred. ((Laughing)) You know? Blur them next time. – [Stevie] Okay. I’m kind of into it. – [Stevie] I can’t promise any blurring for the next videos, but, and I also don’t know if Chase will be Italian. Let’s take a look. Tide Pods! Yep, he still is. He still is. So we got Tide Pods. We also have a reminder for you. Heads up if you’re ordering gifts from Mythical.com for the holidays, and we hope you do.

And we don’t eat them either. These, oh man, I want to bite it so bad. But it’s so, it feels so nice, doesn’t it? They’re softer than I remember. Can I make a bed out of these? Well, Chase is about to, he’s just gonna be standing on it. Yeah, that’s right. Okay. Man. How many of these? You spread out the weight. It’s all about distribution. This is a, none of them can pop. Oh man, this is not, this is not easy, guys. I said 75. Oh, I said 68. We’re on the same wavelength here. – [Stevie] We’ll have to see. One. Oh! It actually took a lot for that to pop. Yeah, he had to jump. Dang it. Three. It ain’t gonna be this many. Dang it. Four. It’s like what we thought about pasta. What? What? What? What? No! What? Four Tide Pods! What? We guessed 68. Well, here’s the thing we didn’t account for. Did you see the stretchability of this thing? I had no idea that it could get this big and not pop. – [Stevie] At this point I’m supposed to say something like, well now that you’ve got a real handle on things, Let’s see how you do. But you don’t really have a handle on things, So, let’s see how you do. Yeah. Rhett, they’ve gone and done it to me. Oh, don’t tell me. I’m not looking. They put me in socks. No! I can’t believe it. It’s a taste of my own medicine. – [Stevie] I don’t think that’s how that phrase works, but yes, you are in socks and that is because you’re going first. You’re gonna see how many peanut M&M’s will hold you. You remember what a peanut M&M looks like? They’re hard, man. I’m pinching it right now. It’s hard. I’m gonna put this one back. Put that one back. We got these from the hundred. See, this is kind of a hint, they’re ready to go to at least a hundred. Well, no. At most a hundred. Yeah. There’s a whole bag of them. They’re ready for anything. It’s just one of those things. I mean. Yeah. Could it be three or could it be a hundred? It’s like, we haven’t learned much. Well, the main thing I’ve been thinking is, what is the real world application of this? Is this when we run out of building materials and we gotta start making things out of food? Like, M&M house. Oh, you know what? Maybe this is for Candyland. This is what happens in Candyland. No, Rhett. This is when everybody starts only wearing socks and standing on stuff. Oh, okay. All right, so it’s much simpler than I was imagining. – [Stevie] Do you run through that calculation for all of our episodes? Like, is there a real world explanation? That’s a slippery slope! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mostly it’s Candyland. ((Laughing)) What is he gonna write? ((Laughing)) I’ve already written. 3, 2, 24. Oh, 50. Okay, here. Take that for me, sir. And I’m gonna start with one. Could we be wrong? I’m gonna slowly, nope. Wow, look at that. Crushed everything including the peanut. Five. Five. I mean, as soon as the. Didn’t work. They all crushed. Ten. Ten. No. ((Laughing)) These are a lot weaker than I thought, man. Can you make sure you keep all that together? Because I wanna put that on my yogurt later. 20. And this is basically my guess, unless we start going to 24 next, there’s no way. It’s gonna crush, Link Oh, I mean, I mean. Look at that. There’s no resistance. Okay. We’ve gone to 30, which is, if these break, then you definitely lose. I definitely lost. There’s no way, man. We gotta start skipping up. This is. It’s not even a contest. 40. 50. Okay, so here’s the thing. This is my guess. So go super easy so I can get it right. Just right on the mark. Exactly. Yeah, just right on. Okay, yeah, I’ve lost clearly. So I’m pulling for you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What if I fell over on this and I was like, like, that woman that Lily, Stevie loves to watch. Yeah. Called you Lily for a second. All right, here we go. 50. Why are you grabbing my waist? Don’t do that. ((Laughing)) There it is. There it is. Fifty. I win. Oh no. No. It’s still crushing. Dang. I’m still crushing it. Dang. Look at that. Wow, you’re crushing it even more. 75. 75. Okay, here we go. That’s just some settling. That’s just some settling because there’s some that are really really high and they crack a little bit Okay, the longer you stand there the more they crack though. ((Laughing)) They’re, the ones under your feet have cracked. Oh, yeah, they have. ((Laughing)) I like the way you owned it though. 100. I really want this one to work. Will it? Will it to be. My triceps are getting tired. Manifest it. All right, I’m also going to put my feet closer together so as to distribute the weight around. Now it’s okay if like one big one breaks. Okay, there’s quite a few that haven’t broken. The longer you stay on it though, man, I don’t think I’m going to make my candy house out of, my foundation out of M&M’s. I won’t be able to invite Link over. I think this did it. Nope. I give up though. It’s over 100. But there is a, the crush, like. There’s a lot that are not crushed. Two of these are crushed completely, and eight of these are starting to be crushed, and then some of them aren’t crushed at all. The majority. And I’m good with that. Is that how we’re determining this? The majority? It is, yeah. My arms are so tired, man. I haven’t done dips since high school. So we’re saying, this is a very clear answer. The number of M&M’s that can hold up, Link, are at least a hundred and some of them will be broken. – [Stevie] Okay, well, let’s see if we can get a little bit more definitive on Rhett’s go around. Okay, Rhett, how many solo cups is it going to take to hold you up? And I can’t win. Well, you’re right. You’re right. You’re down 3 to 1. Here’s what I’ll say, Link. If you can get it exactly to the cup, I lose. And you win. Okay? How much do you weigh, do you want to say? Probably about 215 right now. Okay. 215, that was pretty easy to do. Easier than I thought, actually. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pretty weak. Pretty weak. Pretty weak cups you guys got here. The plexiglass isn’t that big. I think we’re gonna need a bigger thing of plexiglass here. You know what? Okay, I said 18. Oh, I said 19! You aren’t getting and closer than that. Only one way to find out! All right, get up on one. One. Didn’t work. Five. It looks like it might work. I like the distribution. Nope, didn’t work. Nine! ((Laughing)) Is it gonna work? Could work. Oh. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope! It’s pretty cool though. Oh, that is nice. It feels good. It’s like laying down on a mattress. Yeah, kind of, just like that. Twelve. Which has required us to change our plexiglass. Bigger glass. But I’m still the same. Six per foot. Put them right in the middle of each six pack. There you go. Hold on. Okay. I’m hearing something. Nope. Nope. Nope. Not happening. Not happening. Nowhere close. We are now at 18, which is your guess. Yeah. And it looks great. Okay. Give it a nice gentle. I’m going to be so ginger. I’m just going to be so ginger. Okay. Now let go. Let go. I’m holding myself up. Let go. No, you go down. Huh? Huh? We got to try 17. Cause 18 works. And if 17 doesn’t work, then I win the whole thing. Yes. Okay. We’re now down to 17. If this works, you lose. If it crushes, You win. Yep. Now you can’t push down on me. Would I? ((Laughing)) I think this is still going to work because it just took one out of the middle. It’s still holding me. What? Let me see. Let me see if it’s still up. It’s still holding me. It’s still holding me. It’s still holding you. Okay, 17. We gotta go to 16. Dang! We gotta go to 16. Take another one out. Okay. Oh, I’m not falling. 15! 15. Oh. Huh? Gotta take another one. 14. Huh? No, 13. 13. And 12 didn’t hold me up. Maybe we just discovered the configuration. A circular. Oh! There we go. It’s gone down! 14! Which means, you lose, you have to bear the weight of the world. Oh, look at that, Link. Two worlds. I feel like Carrot Top in that other episode we did. Never forget that. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. You know what time it is. Hi Rhett and Link!
