GMM 2612: Old vs. New Ways To Mouthwash

Can we make mouthwashing fun? Let’s talk about that Good Mythical Morning. I’d like to think that we live pretty fun lives. I mean, we eat wild and crazy food concoctions on a regular basis. We’re somewhere between good acquaintances and best friends, where people are like Post Malone and the Cookie Monster. Yeah. We even wear patterned suits sometimes. Sometimes. But there’s still plenty of boring things that we have to do every day, like tie our shoes, pay our bills, use mouthwash. And that’s what we’re focusing on today. But can the mundane be turned into the fun-dane, it’s time for Fun For Your Lives Mouthwashing Edition. Okay, before we begin this journey, let’s reacquaint ourselves with mouthwash. This is just plain old Listerine, because it actually won our best mouthwash taste test. Which apparently we did at some point. Okay. Not a sponsor. Look at how boring this little cup is. Not even a full size cup. I was actually thinking the cup is actually more fun than I usually. I usually, I’m just putting it in the cap. Or just swig it. Or swig it if it’s your own. I’ve been using your mouthwash in there, but I’ve been putting it in the cap because I thought you were drinking right out of the bottle. I always put it in the cap so I know how much I’m getting. Get this man some new mouthwash. Look how boring. I made bubbles. That was pretty fun. No, no, no. That wasn’t fun at all. We didn’t have any fun. It wasn’t fun. I hate it. There’s nothing fun about this. How do we make it fun? Now we have to find out. Okay, dingi, today you will be deciding how fun each alternative method is. Using the Fun-O-Meter. And the winning item will be placed atop Fun-der Mountain. First up, we’ve got a cat water fountain. Cats enjoy drinking from running water, so maybe you’ll enjoy washing your mouths with it. I’ve learned about this because. You have a cat. Well, and TikTok knows this. And TikTok, does your cat have one of these? No. You don’t want your cat to have fun? My TikTok, my cat just drinks the little drip from the faucet in the kitchen because cats like running water, not still water. When your cat wants water, you put it. It gets on the counter and you feed it? The cat just gets up there and, like, underneath the faucet and, like, it makes it makes it. Okay. It sounds like you got a lot of experience. Can you demonstrate? Yeah, because I think what I’ve learned with this is that, they like it to be running because it’s not stagnant. It’s something evolutionary. Yeah. Yeah. But see, now the mouthwash has been soiled by. It is mouthwash. Yep, yep. It’s all in mine. Don’t drink it. Gargle it. I forgot. I forgot it was mouthwash. It’s an easy mistake to make. Now, how long is it gonna take for what you just licked to get, to get back to me? Yeah, you better start licking. Yeah, I gotta start licking. I gotta get my beard out of it. I keep trying to. It’s hard not to drink. Can I get enough? Cats don’t actually drink. They just, they dip their tongue. Their tongue gets wet with stuff. This is. My chin’s getting very wet with mouthwash. I couldn’t get enough to gargle. That’s how they drink. I’ve seen them do it. They’re always looking up for predators or something to attack. Oh, you know what? This could be more fun. Look at the bottom of it. Look at the bottom of what? Oh, a blue light. Yeah, look at me, look, look, look. That’s fun. Oh, God. Can we actually salvage this for cats now that it’s had mouthwash running? You gotta hold your buddy’s hair back. Yeah, hold my hair back, man. I’m licking this fountain. That’s not how they do it. Drop his hair. It’s more. It’s more darting. Hey, I can do it the way I want to. I do it, what’s fun to me. We were at meh, and then you turned the blue light on and it kind of got almost a mid. But I’m getting a lot more mouthwash on my chin than in my mouth. Yeah, this is pretty meh for me. And I’m wanting to drink it. I wish I were having more fun, but I have to just go at the top part of meh. Okay, I’m with you on that. For meow. I think. What happens when you’re sick, but you still need to get a minty fresh mouth? You use a facial steamer. I don’t know why they call it a facial steamer, because it is just more of an inhaler. I guess you could steam your face with it. And so you add water here, and then you add whatever you want down here. And we wanted mouthwash. I mean, so, like, you might do, like, some eucalyptus or something. Oh, it’s very minty. Oh, it’s hot too. You gotta lock your whole face. You gotta. You gotta lock your whole face on there and just go for it. That’s fun. Yeah. It’s strong, man. Oh, it’s strong. We’re getting. Our lungs are gonna be so fresh. So fresh and fun. Oh, yeah. Oh. In the eyes. Do it without inhaling and just see if you can just deposit it into your mouth. Right, right. And, like, it hits the back of the throat and, like, bangs against the back of the throat and then stops. Yep. Do an air gargle. Do air gargle. Oh, it gets hot. It’s hot in there. I gotta say, I’m having as much fun as I’ve had today. You don’t even have to. Yeah. What you can do is without one. The thing I hate about gargling is having to turn my head back because it. Don’t look up. It puts me in, like, a vulnerable position. Right. Throat punch time. Right. Like. But then this way, I’m just. I quite like this. I quite like it, too. We’re bringing in this thing because we’re. I definitely think we’re going above meh. For sure. I’m just gonna. When it starts feeling right. I’m gonna be doing it same time. I mean, I can’t say my mind is blown. No, mine’s the same. Yeah. You know what I’m saying? Like, my mind is not blown. I’m having a great time. I’m having a lot of fun, but I’m not having a mind blowing amount of fun. Because I’m a little bit worried about my safety. I am, too. Yeah. Like, what’s gonna be burnt later on my face. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I’m not in a vulnerable position, which is the, vulnerability is not fun. It’s hard work. You just went into mind blowing. I wanna go. We’re almost at mind blowing, but we’re not quite there. Oh, I think we’re. I mean, I think. I think more there. I kind of feel sick. Oh, okay. That’s not fun. Now let’s head to the carnival. Where we want to have the freshest breath. We’re going to create snow cones, and then we’re going to use mouthwash as the snow cone syrup. Let’s do it. Like an avalanche. Okay. Here’s a snow cone for you. There’s. Grab you one for you, too. You want to put mouthwash in it? Because that’s what. That’s the only syrup that we’ve got today is mouthwash. Maybe I’ll make some design. Oh, no. Didn’t happen. So cold. Well, it is ice, homie. You want to? It doesn’t really stick to the ice in the way that. Yeah, that’s the first thing. The syrup does. It’s not quite as lovely. Oh, yeah. I want it to be so green. It’s just a little green. Get it real green. Give me a little bit more. Get it real green. Of course we’re not gonna eat this. We’re just gonna gargle. Gargle it. Yeah, of course, of course. Gargling with crushed ice. The tooth sensitivities is coming to bear. Even. Apparently, even my back molars are very sensitive. Did you melt it down? It starts to melt. And then, then what? The ice melts. Well, that’s fun, isn’t it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So gargle the ice until it melts. It starts like, it kind of sounds like, oh, you’re pre-loaded. How did you? Oh, I think it’s because there’s a. There’s some water selling in here. And it feels like the. Almost like the inside of, like the gullet of a bird where they use like, rocks to, like, digest things. But it’s so cold. It feels like the ice is doing work in my throat. You know what I’m saying? It’s like the ice is also like, getting anything out of my throat. So it’s like a scrub, like a soap scrub to your skin? Yeah? What? Yeah. So, he’s exfoliating his throat with ice, and then you gotta spit it out cause you can’t eat it. I mean. That’s fun. There’s nothing more fun than a snow cone that you can’t eat. And it is deceptive, because it does kinda taste like a mint snow cone. Did you not feel the exfoliation of the throat? The coldness hurted my teeth. Oh, I bypassed the teeth. There was no teeth contact. Oh, really? You gotta go past the teeth. There’s no teeth. Like a lower note? Yeah, go as low as you can. Lower. That was all the way down. Yeah, yeah. Did you? Stevie, you missed your. You missed your line. Go all the way down. Did you get teeth contact, though? I’m sorry, I just can’t have fun with this. Because my teeth are too sensitive. Hold on. I’ll bow out. Hold on. I’ll bow out. Are you saying your vote doesn’t count anymore? Yes, I mean, I just. I don’t want to spoil your fun. But I didn’t have any teeth contact. How much fun are you having? I’m having. Is it mind blowing? It would be if you were on board. I know, I’m just not. I know, I’m not really. You’re really bringing it down. I’m sorry. My teeth sensitivity makes this kind of a meh for me. Okay, well, then keep it in the middle, then, because I feel like this is pretty mind blowing for me. I feel like I’ve never had my throat exfoliated. So, I mean, that is a positive. Yep. If you don’t have teeth sensitivity and you need to smooth the inside of your throat for whatever reason. Well, I think I’ve just accomplished things. It can make other things fun. So right down the middle. Eating later? Mid, right on the eye. It’s a middle mid.

But instead of broth, we’re, of course, using the mouthwash. It’s a fun way, in general to eat noodles as they flow down a chute with ice cold water. Let’s watch a video. I mean, look at this. See the bamboo pipe? This is like the restaurant size version, not the home version. This is cool, man. And watch. You just. You put your chopsticks down and you just pick up these ice cold dollops of noodles, and you’re at no risk of food poisoning. Oh, look at how they’re caught. And then you dip the ice cold noodles in the hot broth, and you enjoy it in this scenic Japanese locale or in the comfort of your own home with this contraption, which looks like a marble run for noodles. Link, why don’t you turn it on? I’ll drop you some noodles, and then you see. Suction. If you can pick them up. There we go. Okay. Yes. We’ve got flowage. So, it’s pulling all of the. Yes, there we go. Okay, grab your chopsticks because these are coming. I’m gonna send them on a little journey. Here we go. Oh, come on. There it goes. Release, release. It’s coming, it’s coming, it’s coming. Ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you gonna catch it? Are you gonna catch it? I’m gonna catch it, I’m gonna catch it. What? What if you did a straight mouth down there? Straight mouth it? Straight mouth it. Suck, suck hard. Suck hard. I need to use my right hand. Yeah, yeah, get it. Oh, yeah, he got it. He got it. Now gargle, gargle, gargle. Yes! Hold on. Keep gargling, keep gargling. Let me, keep gargling. So much fun, though. Okay, you gotta let me try it. Switch up. Oh, I’m so refreshed. Here it comes. Here it comes, a big Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, yeah. It’s on your eye. It’s on your eye a little bit. I don’t know if you want mouthwash in your eye. Here, let me. Get that. I got it. I gotta get two. Come on. What are you doing? Go back, go back. Gargle. And then push that in there. Oh, God, no. Look away, look away. It’s too much fun. I’m having so much fun. Too much fun to be had. Oh, man, that was fun. Oh, my gosh. Is our mind blown? Oh, I think so. Mine is. I’m not thinking straight anymore. Hey, when the noodle is dangling in the back of my throat on their fresh, freshly exfoliated uvula, it was wonderful. I feel so fresh. I know. I feel fresh. I feel challenged. I feel alive. There’s, like, some sort of expectation. There’s stakes, and then there’s. Stakes? Where? Well, I mean, it’s like you don’t know what’s going. Oh, okay. My mind’s pretty blown. Yeah, I imagine it could be more fun. Not that. Oh, is something else gonna blow our minds more than this? I think it’s, like, mid mind blowing. Well, don’t say. Don’t say. It’s in the middle of mind blowing. So, that’s still mind blowing. Mind blowing. What if instead of pouring mouthwash into our mouths, we catapulted it into our mouths? Well, we have a catapult right here. And Vee made these gelatinous, little, mouthwash balls. It’s like a water balloon filled with mouthwash. But it’s edible, right? Yes. The outside is edible. It’s sodium alginate, and you can mix it with water, and when it combines or you drop it into another bowl of water that has calcium lactate, then it forms into a ball. Science. What? Science is fun. So, I’m gonna try. I’m gonna try and get you. Get you with this thing here. This is as wide as I can make my mouth. All right, so I’m coming right here. And then here we go. Oh, he went high. He said, all right, let me get a bigger one. That way it won’t, is that in a good spot? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Let’s see it. Let’s see what you got. Oh, bust it. Can you bust it? Gargle. I’m having fun. Almost dying. Having a lot of fun. Is it. What? What is. What is happening? It’s just gel. Oh, wow. He’s a good gargle catcher. If you go fast enough. Fun happening alert. Yes. Bust it and gargle. You don’t like? It’s kind of like gargling a condom. Don’t say that. Let me try it. That’s no fun. So much fun. Okay, here we go. Hey, it’s reusable. Oh, good catch. Pop it up. Hey, guys. Just. Just a little. If you’re following along. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We’re in the green. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hit it hard. Yeah. How much fun is that? That’s so much fun. Oh, no, Rhett. I got a little on my glasses. What? Yeah, it’s fun, man. Come on, let’s get out while we’re still having a blown mind of fun. Bring in Fun-der Mountain. Yes. It’s no contest. The mouthwash catapult. Oh, gosh. Sorry. Did I break Fun-der Mountain? Not quite as fun as it was. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. If you’re lacking a little fun in your morning routine, grab yourself a catapult and send some mouthwashing to your. So close. You know how it works. We already did it. And you know what time it is.
