Are these reusable products too weird? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. We try to be eco-friendly around here. But there are some hippie dippy products out there that give us pause. Maybe for you. I mean, I commune with nature every time I pee in my side yard. You still doing that? Of course. Okay, for those of us who aren't as one with the Earth as Link is, we're trying out some reusable products today up against their non reusable counterparts to see if the reusable version is worth the switch. Okay, boys, your first product is the Crystal Mineral Deodorant Stick for $7.99. Look at this, dude. We've, we've. It's a rock inside of plastic. We've crystaled before on this show. We have, we have, yeah. I only crystal on the show. Boy, that thing is stout, man. Scentless mineral deodorant stick. Why'd you stick it out so far? With potassium alum. That's making me feel uncomfortable. It's a, it's a long rock, dude. Uh, this is $8. It should be uncomfortable. $8, made from, did you say potassium alum? Yeah. I'm, I, I once made a crystal, my first crystal that I made at my home back when we used to make crystals as children, was a alum crystal. It's very sour. Oh, you tasted it. You're not supposed to, but I did. Okay. Armpit sour. So Link, uh, here, here we just have Old Spice. It's deodorant, it's not antiperspirant. I don't really know why we did that, but I think that maybe because, you know, if you're the kind of person. Well this isn't antiperspirant. You're already like, I don't want any aluminum in my life, you know, besides wrapping it my old food in it. Okay, so you're like, I use this for a long time, just like straight up deodorant. 'cause I've got away from the aluminum thing. Which limb are you gonna go under for the, I'm going under the left arm for the regular. I guess I should go under the right for regular. Go under the right for regular. As I said it, I knew it. Oh, this, this is, I hate putting on deodorant this way, like. Under your shirt. I hate doing this. Yeah, I hate it too, man. I hate this. I wish we weren't doing it. I wish we weren't doing it, 'cause if we. I don't know. It just doesn't feel it, it just ain't right. Well, it really, oh, it really does go, doesn't it? Yeah, man. Man. And you wet it a little bit. Just a little bit. Just the tip. Well, how many dips are you gonna do? I don't know how many I'm supposed to do. I've never crystaled before. Well, I have, but I forgot I did. Oh. Oh. Well, it's slick. It slides. It's slidey. Oh, it fits right in there, too. Don't overdo it. Yep, yep, yep. Now we're gonna make ourselves sweat. If you didn't know, we always have parkas on the back of our chairs. Yeah. They're here all the time. Sweat, oh, well I've got this that I took off. Layers. And I'm putting back on and then I'm, I'm putting my parka, which is always behind there. Well, look, it set itself right on my head. Look at that. This is what the Mythical crew looks like when we shoot anything because it's so fricking cold in here. We can jog in place. Hold on, I gotta zip. I gotta zip. My knees are coming out. Don't know why. My knees are coming outta my jeans. Um, I wouldn't suggest wearing a knee brace if you've got ripped jeans. 'cause that that's, I don't know about that look. That's like, it's a. Just between me and you. I don't know, it seems like something like Pearl Jam would've done. It is like something Pearl Jam would do now. Shut up. Okay. I can't see. Let's get sweaty. Alright, what makes it, what makes you sweat? I'm always a little bit stressed out about travel difficulties, like finding out my, my global entry is not up to date. Hold on, dude, your flight's taking off in 10 minutes, you haven't gone through baggage security. Alright. Whatever that's called. Yep, baggage security won't let you through if there's only 10 minutes left. That's why I get there four and a half hours early. What makes you sweat? Being accused of things around the house. That I didn't do. Did you take a doo doo in that plant? No, I didn't. That wasn't me. It was the cat. Oh my God. You, do you have your license, dude? Have you checked for your license? Oh crap. No. You're about to go. I don't have my Real ID. Oh. I've got my fake ID. Oh my God. Wow. No. Did you finish off that cottage cheese and just put the empty container back in the refrigerator? Like a doofus? No, no, that was the cat. Oh gosh. You're carrying water, dude. Oh no. You go through. It's my Stanley cup. I'm gonna put it in the graveyard of Stanley cups. Okay. Alright. Did you now take. No, dude, it was the cat. Did you take a doo doo in the empty cottage cheese container and put that back in the fridge? That was you wasn't? Yeah, that was with me. All right. Okay. We're hot enough. You missed your flight. I've never missed a flight. Okay, so now we do the, we do some smelling. Then what are you so afraid of? If you've never missed a flight. Missing a flight. What could happen? Alright. What could go wrong? So I'm going for Old Spice. Hmm. Smells spicy in kind of a, been there, done that kind of a way. Okay. I gotta stick my head in there. I'm kind of just smelling the inside of this jacket. God, it's so strong. It's so strong. Yeah, the spice is strong. I'm gonna touch it. It's not anti sweat, remember. But I just wanna see. Now, but you have, you gotta do the other, do the other. Hold on. Oh that, oh. It stinky? Oh yeah, it just. I actually smell, I did smell the, um. It doesn't work as well because this has got parfum in it. Yeah. I, I, uh, I smell a tinge. I'm allergic to myself. I smell a bit of a hi, a hippie tinge. Yeah. Even in that amount of time, and I'm serious, there's a little bit of a. It's starting to smell like the farmer's market. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Oh God. And it stinks. It stinks. It smells like BO, man. I made this, did y'all use this? I smell like that. It took. Mine doesn't smell like that. It doesn't. You don't smell that? I don't, honestly, I don't smell it. Is it my finger? I think it's fine. It's probably your finger. It's probably what's under your fingernails. Um, I don't like this. This is not good. I still don't like it, so we are, not so keen. Up next, you have the Smart Life Co bamboo pick sticks, interdental brush for $7.99. And there's three different sizes. You got wide, narrow, and regular. Regular. Let's go, I think we should go with narrow because you stick this in between your teeth, man. So instead of using a big long, I've heard bad things about using like silicon covered floss. Well, I use. Maybe for microplastics or something. Yeah. Well this is, yeah. Don't quote me on that. It does, it does feel like a thing of, I, I, they make a bamboo, um, string. Oh, it's a bamboo string too. 'cause bamboo is a renewable resource. That that stuff will just grow like crazy. Be careful if you plant it. 'cause all of a sudden you won't be able to get in your house. It's invasive. Don't put it, don't put it right in front of your door. Is what he's saying. So you shove this thing, oh, it's bendable. That's yours now. You shove it in, in between your teeth. We gotta, we gotta dirty our teeth first. We got poppy seeds and we got popcorn. I don't know if I've ever. Let's get something in our teeth and then. About poppy seed. I'm gonna do the bottom, I'm gonna do the top with this new thing. I'm gonna do the bottom. I think popcorn's better at causing. With the old one. I'm just trying to get a lot of poppy seeds in the mouth. You know how they're just. Have any poppy seeds in there? Yeah, they're kinda just sitting in between your teeth. I feel like I need a, I need a mirror to floss, right? Because I want, I want whatever comes out to hit something. Oh, say, do you need to know where you're, where it's at via mirror. Well, yeah. That I, I look at myself in the mirror when I floss. But you don't look in the mirror? If the mirror went away when, well, I mean, maybe I do because it's there. Well, let's just start with this and see. What do you need to see when you're flossing? The, um, the teeth, I guess. Do close your eyes then find the tooth. Bottom is real floss or what? Real. Uhhuh. Bottom. Uh, Uhhuh. Yeah. So you, it's not as hard as you thought it was. No, it's not. Yeah. Huh, I can do something that I didn't know I could do. You thought you needed a mirror for flossing? I can floss myself in the dark. I can do that regularly. Well, I don't even floss regularly. You floss regularly? Every night. Ever since I got a bad report, my hygienist said, you've been a bad boy. Oh, I just got a big piece of something out. I went to the dentist yesterday and my dental hygienist is not the most giving and she was like, keep up the good work, she said to me. And I felt like, you know, that's the best compliment I've gotten in a really long time. Keep up the good work. Did you say thank you? Well, that's sad. Um. Did I say thank you? I don't know, maybe I was too in my head. Sure thing. Yeah. I said sure thing. It's giving, sure thing. You're doing a great job today, by the way. Well, I don't, I don't floss regularly either. I mean, come on. You have the electron brush and it. Every single night. Oh my God, y'all, this is a nightmare. I hate this. I feel like I'm gonna hurt myself. I shoved hard to get the narrowest one in between. Oh. The ga, I have a, my teeth are crowded. I this, oh, I can't do this. I need a mirror. I can't. All right, I got it in a hole there. Oh, in the hole, yeah. But, but you can't go up and down. You need to go up and down the teeth. Oh. But I'm looking in this, it's gathering things. I will say that much. Did you just swallow the top of it? I see stuff. Oh, I got a puppy seed. I wanna go. Get a closeup of that. With the macro lens. Ah, okay. I, I'm getting better at finding a hole. I have a tough time with the mechanism. This is so gross. I can just, I just wanna tell you that I don't wanna say the brand because they're not a sponsor and I don't remember them, but I found. Harsh. But I found some, um, eco floss that is, it's a string and it's rough, 'cause my hygienist who told me I was a bad boy. She was like, you need to get in there and you need to go up and down and you don't need that slick floss. You need rough floss, 'cause you're really trying to, and then the next time I went in, she was like, you've really been doing a good job. She's like, now you're a good boy. Nice. Oh, and. Yeah, uhhuh. What? And I said. How does this, how do your appointments end? I say, sure thing, and then I walk out. You're supposed to rinse this and then use it for seven days. No, thank you. Um. And that's the narrowest one, I don't know how to get it into the back. Let me see if you can get a wide one in. Let's see how big it gets with wide. There's no freaking way, dude. So this is just regular. Oh, you know what? The metal part is the same, but the bristles go out further. Lemme see how I can do it. Oh, I cannot go in between. I mean, these teeth are all janked out. I don't want you, I don't want there. No, I can't get there. I want you to do closeup of that. I can't, don't do a closeup on my bottom. I can't get in. My janky, don't do janky teeth closeup. Just take my word for it. I can't get in. There ain't no getting in here. I got my wisdom teeth, and everything's crowded. But I'm a good brusher and this is a. Are you a good boy? This is a non-starter. I'm a bad boy at the dentist. I say curse words. I wear sunglasses. Hold on. Seriously, I wear sunglasses. Of course, of course you do. I'm glad we don't go to the same. You know I'm a bad boy when I'm in there, up in sunglasses. I know, we don't go to the same dentist anymore. The lights bright, dude, you're up there like looking up into a light. You know what I do? Even when your eyes are closed, you're looking at a light. I close my eyes. Yeah. I close my eyes and I still see brightness. I wear my glasses. Do they say anything? Oh God, this is, this is so much better. But you shouldn't, Rhett's right, you shouldn't get the slick ones. Get the rough ones. Which are classified because yes. It's bad for you, it's bad for the environment. I think it's bad for you, it's bad for the environment. Mm-hmm. But, um. I, I just can't, I can't make this work and I'd really like to, so we are not so keen. Quick reminder, check out the Mythical Kitchen channel. Josh and the Kitcheneers are doing a really fun challenge video over there. Mm-hmm. They spent $50 at Erewhon and $50 at Dollar Tree to see what meal is better. Obviously they got a lot more from Dollar Tree, but we'll see how it turns out. Mythical Kitchen channel. Okay, this is the Last Swab Original from Last Object for $12. $12. It's got a funky looking case and inside you have a wonderful permanent Q-tip. This thing is supposed to replace 1000 plus single use cotton swabs. I bet you I could stretch it further than that. Um. The last. What? The company Last Object removes one kilogram of coastal plastic waste for each order. Kilogram of coastal plastic waste. Well, their heart's in the right place, but does it work? And should you even be doing it? The thing that they're emulating, you're not supposed to put in your ears. Everybody knows they put, you put it in your ears. But you got to because oh, my gosh. So you're doing left ear for real, or regular. Yep. You gonna get something out? Oh God. I feel like we should do the thing where we're like, if you wanna play along, but, but do it for this. Like, if you wanna. Look away. Continue to eat your food. Look away. Oh. Oh. You know. Okay, hold on. Oh, well nothing came out. Ew, well, you both missed it. I got a little. Missed the look away. Ugh. I got a little something. Okay. I got no, oh, I got a little something. Just a little something. A little tinge. I do this pretty regularly. It's why I hear so good. I'm such a good listener. Well, you know what they say? What? You're just pushing it deeper. Right now, I'm going, I'm going in the right ear with the. Appreciate the laugh. Oh. Oh, it's harder. Oh. Oh. Well. It does feel good. There's hardly anything in my ears today. Nick's back there nodding because, uh. He loves these. He's addicted to these things. Mm-hmm. Every morning. And then he just washes it. Doesn't even smell like wax. It's a little brown and then you put that under a spigot with soap. Let me, let me go deeper. I went pretty deep. Do you need a mirror for this? Nothing. Nothing on that one either. See, I'm just a clean man. But I will say once it's in there, I kind of like the way it feels and I don't have to worry about, like, sometimes I worry about. This is the end I didn't use. Cotton coming off. Separate eyelashes. And going into my ear. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Have you thought about that? Mm-hmm. Like if it get, if you do it too rough. I definitely like this, I mean, you're just buying reams, like you have a whole container of these things and then you're just going through 'em. And sometimes I'm on a trip and then I realize I didn't bring my Q Tips. Somebody's going to get that. And if you're using, they say you can apply ointments. Separate eyelashes, however you normally use swabs. But I have a little compartment, a little plastic compartment, already wasteful, and it's got all these cotton swabs in it. And then when I run out, sometimes happen when I'm traveling, I get back and I didn't refill it. Then I get out there on the road and I'm like, my ears are gonna be dirty this whole trip if I just took this little thing. One. One. The last swab. Well. I don't know, I'm coming around to this. Nick's a believer. I'm coming around. And now, we're also believers. So we are going green. Finally, we have a 28 count of Bsofter's reusable toilet paper for $17.99. Okay, listen, I believe in trees as much as the next guy. I love trees. It's one of my favorite living things. I love trees too. I, I think I like 'em as much as you love them. There are some trees that I like more than some animals. I mean, I really don't know. I haven't done the math on it. I'm just saying it's something I, it seems like I should have said. But in general, you like animals more than trees. In general. But there are a few trees that make their way above some of the animals. And I will say I use a whole lot less of this because I use bidets. Yeah, water being directed strategically. And I'm spreading the love of bidets around to all who will listen. So all I use that for is I, I might need to use it. A check. It's a quick check. Check. I need to, sometimes I have to use it upfront. Front, uh, first, not, not, not in the front, but I, I do know that there are plenty of people who are like. Front to back, front to back. If you just, if, if you pee. Front to back, Link. Like there was this whole thing about, um, well. We talking about in the front. Women discovering that men don't wipe their wee wees when they pee pee. Give it a little dab, that a shake is good enough, they said, I can't believe it. Well, it is good enough. Yeah. Yeah. The internet is, hold on, did you say the internet? What are you saying that you do? It is getting more confusing. I'm not saying I do anything. Hold on, the internet got you afraid and now you're wiping your peepee. Yeah. Are you also washing your legs now? What? What are you crazy? Uh. Okay. Look at this though. I don't understand. This is the, this is the real star, here. Is we got some, it's, what in the world? Y'all gonna wipe your butt with that? It's a, and it's. And then wash it. It says, I mean, it's easy to hold in your hand. Oh yeah. You can go, you can, you can wipe halfway up the arm. I feel like you gotta fold. At least you can wipe up. You have to start wiping it at the watch. That's it'll, and then you go down to the, it'll crinkle right off. Yeah, so you. Let's put these to the test. Put it in half. There's a couple of volunteers here. So you could use it for babies, but you could use it on, on full grown bodies. What does this baby get into? Good gracious. Eating Play-Doh again. I recently went to a home where a newborn was there. And uh, I was just like, man, I, I, I blocked out this whole thing. Get your foot out of it. And then right when I got there, the baby pooped itself, and then they were changing the diaper, and I was just like, oh, get me outta here. And here I am doing it on TV. I don't know how I even laugh like that. I loved referring to it as TV. That was my whole thing, was just a setup to be able to say that. Okay, yeah, I, I'm remembering how to change a baby and here's my hack. I'll, I would take this part and I would use the actual diaper to wipe first. And then you go down and then you put that on top of the folded up diaper. And then you take this and you fold it over, and then you, front to back. Supposed to go front to back, I think. But nobody ever does that. You supposed to, yeah, front to back. Front to back. But nobody ever does that. But nobody ever does that. You don't have to do that for babies, you gotta do that for yourself. Well, if you're, but if you're, if you, if you have a vagina. If you have a vagina, yes. I don't. Yeah. But you do wipe your peepee. On occasion. On occasion. I got guilted into it by the internet. Okay, how's it working over there? You've done a good job. I've done a, I need to be able to like take this. And then what do you do with that? And open this. You wash that in the washing machine? Mm-hmm. Do you rinse it? With the garden hose outside first, do you just put poop laden rags in your washer? The problem with me is if I got these things, I'd use it and then I'd just throw it in the trash. I'd be like I don't wanna deal with this, and then I'm creating an even bigger problem. I don't love how, and then what I would do is I would put that there and then I would flush the whole thing. I would flush the whole thing, which I'm still gonna do, I guess. Don't do that. Don't flush. We, we wanted to test them with, um, you know, not blue Play-Doh stuff. So we asked Lucas if he could test them and he just draped one. There you go. He just draped one on your mug. So this, these are laundered. Laundered. So. I mean, he had gloves on when he brought 'em in. It is his, it is his stuff because. It says it's best to hang them up to dry so they don't, stink, shrink. So they don't stink. What is the, um, the step after wiping and before laundering? You're asking me? I'm asking you. The step before, uh, hosing it off in the backyard. Oh, so you did take it out right over the. Because what do you, otherwise what would you do? I mean, you have. Because sometimes it's thick. I know. Yeah. It's like if it's just piled on there. Yeah. I, I just don't know logistically what you do. You eat a lot of soup. Just soup. Yeah. This is gonna transition to soup because of this. I mean, so you're, you're putting a lot of poop in your washing machine. A lot of soup. Poop. Okay. A lot of soup and poop. That's, I mean, that's just, that's just what I don't understand, like. And that just go and then it goes from the washing machine just into the drain, I guess. Get yourself that bidet that we tested months back, that little portable bidet. If you can't get a real bidet, those are expensive. And here's the thing. Get a portable one, but don't get this. And I know you're gonna say the bidet uses water, but how do you clean those? With water? You can't, you can't get away from water. You can't get away from water, and um. So I just think the bidet is probably, I don't know, I haven't done the math, but it feels great. It does, these are soft, this. It's also better for your butt hole. Yeah. But for your wiener hole. Yeah. I would recommend it. Why don't you bidet your wiener hole? Well, now I'm gonna do that. You gonna make, you're gonna shame me into it. All you gotta say is what, you don't bidet your wiener hole? And I'm like, well I guess I gotta do that now. Well, I didn't know you were that easy to manipulate. Okay, so we are not so keen. Okay, there you have it. So I think the only thing that really got us on the eco train today was, um. I don't remember. I already forgot. It's been a long episode. The Q-tip thing? The Q-tip. Oh yeah, the Q-tip. We're gonna take those home. Hey, baby steps. Baby steps. Okay.
