How many creamer pods will it take to hold my weight? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. You know how ants can work together to hold up something way bigger than themselves? Yeah. Well, I was wondering how many ants it would take to hold a person up. Unfortunately, finding the answer to that question would require the slaughter of way too many innocent ants, Rhett. Rats. So. Or ants. What? So instead, let's try and guess how many in-ant-imate objects. Yes. It takes to hold our weight. We're gonna do that in just a second. But first we had Chase do a few previously recorded rounds that we're going to watch and then make some guesses about. So, previously recorded Chase, tell us what the first item's gonna be. Toilet paper rolls. Okay. Thank you. Presently being recorded Chase, what are we doing with that information? You're gonna guess how many toilet paper rolls I had to stand on to, like, totally support my weight. I was on a piece of plexiglass that then were on top of toilet paper rolls. Exactly like you're doing, Link. Yeah. They're strong. That way we could still see them. They're strong. I, I was not lying. Strong. Oh yeah. I mean, that's strong, Chase. Are you prepared to tell us how much you weigh? Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Alright, tell us. Uh. Currently being recorded Chase, tell us. Or previously recorded Chase, tell us. No, no. I have to say it like he did. 165 pounds. No, I know the difference. 165 pounds. All right. Good god. Is this without going over? This is the last one that didn't break. Oh, you mean the guesses? Yeah, just closest, whoever's the closest answer. Doesn't matter, huh. Also, maybe like 167 with clothes on, if that helps. Oh yeah, let me change my answer that I haven't written down yet. Um. Written down my answer. Okay. I wonder, so you started with a big number and then you started going down. We went the other way, so we started with one. Okay, and then. We see some crushes. Kept going and going and going, until finally. Do you, do you wanna see our guesses now? Or do you wanna see? Do we wanna see the video? Yeah, I wanna see your guesses now, so that way you can't cheat when we go to the pre tape. Okay. Alright, what did you say? Seven? Seven? No, no, no, no, no. Only four. I almost put three. They are very strong. So strong. But I just feel like the slightest thing going wrong. Mm-hmm. And they suddenly break. Yeah. I'm definitely gonna blame it on the placement if, if I lose. All right, do you wanna see prerecorded Chase again? I don't think so. I'm not quite ready. Hold on. All right, next round. Okay. Yeah, let's watch. Let's watch him. One. Oh, four's, four's gonna do it, man. Did you see how much it. Two. Yep, yep. Two might do it. Oh. Oh, no, see. Three. Three might do it. Huh? Three. Three. They are strong. Yeah, dang. See, I almost nailed it. Almost, previously recorded Chase got almost nailed. I felt like the plexiglass was gonna break before the, the toilet paper rolls did. Sounds strong. I mean, what does that mean for society? I don't know. Just means we need to be holding up our houses with our TP. Well, you know how you can, they make houses out like just crapping out cement now, like pooping it, you know. 3d printed houses. I, I think you, definitely this. You crap into this. Yeah. And then you set 'em up like bridges. Okay. Stuff like that, towers. Okay, Link takes the first round. What are we, what are we onto next? Nilla Wafers. Okay, so is this the same situation? You're gonna be on plexiglass, but it's actual cookies. Yeah, not the box, uh, individual Nilla Wafers. And, and it's until, what happens? Until none of them break. Like we, I was taking the plexiglass off and then picking up the, the actual wafers to see if any of them actually broke at all. So once none broke. Once none broke? Once none broke. So you did like that? Like. We were, um, we started stacking them pretty early because of, it was, just way more exciting that way. You started stacking? Started stacking. Oh, they're weak. They're not like TPs. I don't know how much. That one was strong though. How many different ones did you put out before you started stacking 'em? Sometimes you get us. How many stacks is what I'm asking. Yeah. We can't, but I think we just have to guess how many stacks. Yeah. That's something only previously recorded Chase remembers. Mm-hmm. If I eat enough of these Nilla Wafers, let's just say that I ate nothing but Nilla Wafers for a week so that we were all 100% sure that my dookie was 100% Nilla Wafer. I like where this is going. Then I crapped into a series of these. And then we made a house outta that. I don't think it would, you wanna know how bad it would stink? No, it would dry. It's like, listen, y'all over there groaning and moaning. They, they used to build homes from Buffalo dung, and then they would burn it and cook their food on it. But that was like mostly grass, right? The buffalo were eating all. Yeah. Right, he's just eating like. Nilla Wafers. It wouldn't even. Made up of anything close to the same stuff. I wouldn't even call it dookie. It's not even really dookie anymore, Chase. I would call it human processed Nilla Wafer. Yeah. It'd come out just like that. It's an artificially processed, you got. Don't knock it until you try it. I'm sorry I brought it up. Fine, I'll do it. 2, 4, 6, 8. Don't count two out loud. 2, 4, 6, 8. I mean. Until they didn't break. How do you even, how does one even. Because the, the height of the stack is almost irrelevant. The number of stacks is the real thing here. I think they started stacking them. Early, he said. Early, which. But then he had to move more stacks. That makes this really hard. So they, if they started stacking early, and then they started going out. Okay. I said 60. Oh, I said 26. Whoa, that's never gonna happen. Prerecorded Chase, let's see what you did. One. Whoa, look how smushed. Five. Oh God, we're going up fast. Hear that crunch. Satisfying. Oh, that's a crunch. 15. Oh God. Yep. You're hurting. Oh, see, they stacked 'em three high there. 25. Oh. Now why did they do that? Oh God, that was my number. No one knows. Hmm, those look good. Those look good. Those look good. Those look good. I don't understand. 37. Uh oh. God, see. I don't understand Nilla Wafers. Too much heel pressure. They're not even. It's a little crumbly. 50. Oh, yep. Well, you might be all over it. That might have been crunch, but no break. He's excited. What? What? Oh my goodness. I think we did it. Alright, Link. 50 in. You're on it. I mean, you really should have told us how many stacks. And, uh. It was hard to keep track because we had to like do different math so that it was even, you know, like we do five stacks of eight. You had to do Nilla math. Yeah. Structurally, though. And they don't make any sense. The Nilla Wafers, like 25 crumbled so fast and then. It's all about the top, the top one. Didn't crumble quite as much and then it, it was Nilla Wafers just don't make any sense. Why does stacking Nilla Wafers higher make them less likely to crumble. From an engineering standpoint. It makes 'em more likely to crumble. It seems like you guys are just totally out of pocket. Now, I. From a film degree standpoint, it made sense to me. Right. I will say I do have a structural engineering degree. Um, not that I didn't, I didn't do too well on this round, but however many stacks you had, which was how many. Uh, in which instance? That last one. For 50, it was. 10? Something of something. 10 stacks of five. Yeah, so if you did 10 stacks of one, it would've worked as well. Right. Unless you had one that was just a bad one. What we're saying is. Going higher should not change anything. Well, it should make it more likely that something ends up breaking in the full stack. Exactly. Next item. Bendy straws. Okay, so how are these bendy straws oriented? So we ditched the plexiglass here and did something, uh, completely different, brought in a pull-up bar, and I was, uh, holding onto either end of the straw across the bar, so like we would suspended the straw over the bar, and then I grabbed it and. Oh. Pulled down. So, so you, so you bent it over and held both sides? Yes. And then, uh, purely for like grip reasons as we went up in number. Uh, we were, uh, taping the ends of them so that I could still hold on. Okay. Because there's not a lot of surface area to grab and I have no rock climbing experience or straw climbing experience. But a film degree? Oh, yeah. BA in Cinema. BA in Cinema. He's a badass in cinema. Okay. Hmm. Well, you would think that these are pretty strong, wouldn't you? I mean, I don't know how you're holding onto one straw and suspending yourself. I'm gonna be impressed with that. Get ready to be impressed. I hope. You just sat there and held one straw? Yeah, this is, hmm. I mean it's, what kind of strength do we call, do you call this structural engineer? That's, well. Tensile. Tensile strength is what you're, there, but when you start going over the top, you're doing a combination of tensile and shear strength. Something. I don't know. I made a B in that class. Statics? No, um, it wasn't statics, it was. Can you guess what Chase did? Structural engineering 101 or something like that. I hated it. That's when I changed to civil. Oh, 'cause you had to watch, you had to watch too many videos of Chase. I was like, structures are actually kind of boring when you think about it. Uh, this is. One, two, I mean, four seems very strong. I don't think this helps or hurts, but I also had chalk available, which did also help with just getting a grip. Like a weightlifter. Exactly, yeah. Mm-hmm. Uh, he gave a hint when he said that he had, they had to start taping them together. Which I appreciate. Because I guess once they start breaking, they kind of. I'm gonna go with my gut. My first number that came to my mind based on what I felt. Again, I'm gonna be most impressed at the very beginning. Chase holding number one. Okay. One may hold it. What number did you say? 18. I said 11 because, I was thinking about one, and then I was like, that's too low, so I just put another one beside it. Oh, that's good, a sound strategy. One. Oh. Oh, no. It snapped. Two. Real easy. It didn't even start to. Oh, they stretch. They stretch a lot. Here we go. Up. Hold on. It's losing grip. Losing grip. Only three. Up, there it goes, but. Four. What just happened though? I don't really know. He was just holding one though. One snapped. Oh, wow. Wow. All of them snapped then, so that's proof positive. I'm getting closer. We're like grunting along with him. They start stretching. You see that? Six. Okay. All right. He created handles, oh. Hold on, six. Six. Dang. This is good information. I mean, if you're, if, if you're dangling on like a flagpole, just carry six of those in your pocket. If you're falling out of a building, just quickly whoop and go over a flagpole. Whoop, you're dangling. I had a college class on cliffhangers and this totally brings some new evidence to light on that, too. I really was, uh, I gotta say. When you said that you had to tape 'em together to hold 'em, what I pictured is that there were so many together that he couldn't grip it. That's right. Okay, well. We had, we had plenty start, like we were taping a lot off to the side thinking we were gonna get to that level and then we just did a good enough job taping that I had good grip. Okay.

You're going to see how many of these pencils, and these are colored pencils. Uh, will hold you up. But we're gonna guess first. Hmm. So the way I'm gonna do this is like what Chase did with the straw. It's gonna be right across here and I'm gonna grab both sides of it. These are weak, man. These are weak, dude. These are weak. Weak. I think, that's my opinion. Well, everybody's got an opinion, man. You think they're strong? No, you tend, you tend to think of colored pencils as strong. Oh, I, I mean, I'm just trying to win a round at this point. Ah. Um. Hmm. I don't know. I wrote a number though. I guess they could get kind of... What you weighing these days? I think me and Chase are about the same weight. Okay. 165. Alright. But with these clothings, maybe 167. What? What did you, what'd you say? Nine. Huh. 10. Woo, it's tight. It's gonna be neck and neck. You should glove up or something. I'm gonna glove up, so I don't, I don't impale myself. I don't want him to get. It's good thing you did this 'cause I tested it and I was worried about like, kind of the sharpie parts getting into my palm. The gloves is a good call. You didn't use gloves when you tested it? No, I think I, uh. Come on now, take care of yourself. Chalked it again. I think I chalked it. Okay. One. Oh, I, I just poked myself already. They're not, they're not quite long enough to, uh, hold the whole thing. Whoa, don't, you almost stabbed yourself in the top of the head. Yeah, I don't wanna do that. Two. Okay. Two. Maybe extend your. Lemon, lime. Maybe ex, uh, extend your arms a little bit. My body? Yeah, okay. Got it. And get your head away from it, so you don't poke yourself. Yeah, so then, then everything just comes down together. Yep. Like that. Okay. Should I go up to four? That's two. Yeah, let's go up to four. Four. And, should I do two on top of two to make a square? Well, that's where you're eventually gonna get to. I think that's gonna make it stronger. I think you should be going for, uh, grip, in my experience. Whatever's easiest to grip. Like, yeah. Uh. I've gone, it's kind of flattening out, but. Oh. Okay, six. Okay. Look at it. Six. And now if we, if we overshoot it, we'll go back down because this, we're down to 10 and nine here, so. Does that hold you even for a second? I thought it might, and I'm trying to get it right in the middle. I can hear it cracking. I can hear it cracking. Oh yeah. Okay. Let's go eight. What have I done? I'm so sorry. Eight. This is scary, dude. That moment, I hope eight makes it, then you go over to 10. I need something. Well, if it's eight, then we're going to Nine. Well, well. Because I guess nine. Well, we could go to 10 and then, and then come back down. Nope. Okay. See this and that together. I shouldn't try too hard 'cause this means I win. Eight does it! I think eight does it. Huh? Oh, that scared me. Eight does it. Once I started turning, I mean, seven might do it too, but. Because we went from six to eight, but it doesn't matter, you got nine. That was so exhilarating. I feel like I've survived a test. You win. Well, I win $30,000. No, you win those eight pencils. Okay. I'm going to be standing atop creamer pods, something you've always wanted to see me do. And there is nothing you can do to win, unless I say, that if you get your guess exactly correct. Oh. I'll let you win. Unless you also get it exactly correct. Well, yeah. Okay. These things are not as stout. They're not very strong, are they? Yeah. Like they're very phlemmy, flimsy. Very. I think they're all the same flavor, if that helps at all. Oh, and what flavor is that? Original. Okay, I'm just gonna try to receive a number from the ether because my intuition has not been working very well. Yes. Alright. I intercepted your number and then sent a new number to you. The number that you were to receive was 26. And the number I gave you was 26. Wow. Ho, hold on. Holy moly. Okay. I'm not changing it. Well, I have to change it. You can change it or I, you, it's up to you. I think you have to change it, 'cause you're losing. And like I said. First of all. What I thought, I intercepted it cleanly, but apparently I didn't. What just happened psychically? Educated guesses. We are, we're doing some Googling back here. No, because when I went, oh. I saw two, six. And I was looking down at that and doing a circular pattern with my mind. I'm either gonna go to 25 or 27. Yes, that's a good idea. Is it over or under 26, Rhett. You know what I'm doing Link? because I wanna get exactly right. Mm-hmm. I'm going to 24. 24? Yeah. Okay. All righty. Okay. One is on there. Now, just so you understand, I'm not gonna be chomp, jumping on this thing. I'm just gonna be setting my weight on it very gingerly like so. And uh, one will not hold me. That thing smushed so much. Five. Not a chance. Milky. 10. What, did you go heel first? Double pop. 15. Oh, still not the chance. 20. Oh, squat, squat. Jump, jump, jump. It's official. Oh. Oh, no, no. We gotta keep going. We gotta keep going. We don't have a choice. That was it. No 20 did it, but it might be 19. When you did it. It might be 19. Well, whatever it is, there's no way you can win. There's, I can't win. It's somewhere between 15 and 20. And look at how your socks aren't even getting wet. Now they're about to. Oh. It's a miracle. Boy, that was, that was satisfying. And don't worry, all this creamer will be given to the crew. I've already claimed my pod. All hail the queen. You got a queen sweep, Link. Congratulations. And since you won. Oh, hold on. He didn't win the last round. I was closer, that's not a queen sweep. That's true. I mean it, I still lost. But all, I mean, those of you who keep records of such things. Yeah, I tried. Didn't work. Link, you still won, so you get the heaviest thing in the whole world. Oh, Marley and Me. Yeah. It's pretty sad. I can't, I can't accept this or, or actually watch it 'cause I don't know how to. Play this. Yeah. Thanks for commenting and sharing this video. You know what time it is. I'm Keelan. And I'm Molly. We scuba diving in Bonaire and it's time to Spin the Wheel of Mythicality. Bonaire. Good air. Yeah, I guess so. I think it's supposed to be a really awesome place. And it, I mean, it was very pink there. Yes, it's very pink. I don't know if that's the time of day thing, but it's probably not. Okay, we got a big one. Mark your calendars and come back tomorrow for a very special episode. We're calling it 100 Years of Butt Stuff. Click the top link to watch us play a fun new trivia game in Good Mythical More. The Golden Tee of Mythicality is back.

That must be so uncomfortable, sir. Uh, what is this, Squire? Oh, this? It's just a mole or skin tag of some sort. I, I need to get it looked at. Uh, actually I believe it is an arrow that has run through ye. Oh, that's a relief.
