GMMore 1891: Crazy DIY Cleaning Hacks (Game)

(rooster crows) (growls) (Wheel of Mythicality spins) – Welcome to “Good Mythical More”. You’ve heard a lot of DIY cleaning hacks, and we’re going to hear some today. And we’re going to learn how to clean some stuff. We’re also going to learn to that were lied to. – But first what’s the word. Can we guess the definition of today’s word which is “forniphilia”. – Forniphilia? – So that means– If “philia” means that you like it, forni– I mean, that’s like fornication. – Forn– – It’s just meaning you like sex, I think. – Okay. – I mean, that can’t be it. – You like– You like to make babies. When you’re attracted to the thought of you, or someone else, being furniture. (Rhett chuckles) (crew laughs) That– – That doesn’t– That’s stupid. Nobody thinks that. – That, that’s not a thing. That’s not a word. Is that in Webster’s? It can’t be. And why isn’t it “furniphilia”? – Yeah, yeah, yeah. The people who like ferns. – That’s just made up. I don’t believe it. Speaking of not believing it we’re gonna hear some DIY cleaning hacks. I’m into this. You’ve heard about that vinegar, water mixture, throwing some lemon in there, blah, blah, blah, blah. I want to learn some new ones, and I don’t want to be lied to, but we could be. Is it truly clean or a dirty lie? – [Stevie] Ready? You can clean the dirty inside of an electric water kettle by soaking a double a battery in water for 30 minutes. Then removing the battery and pouring the water into the kettle and boiling it. – What– You lost me on– Oh, you soak a battery and then you– – You make battery water. – You make battery water, then you pour it in and it– Okay. ‘Cause you got this stuff inside of a kettle that kind of builds up. – That’s not– – That sounds dangerous. – Well, the battery part– Like what is a battery in water going to do? Now, first of all, acid is not going to come out of a battery that’s just in the water for 30 minutes. Unless there’s something wrong with the battery. – I don’t know, maybe. Yeah, this has gotta be a lie. – I don’t think– I think this is a dirty lie. – You’re going to drink something that you’ve then put battery water in? – [Stevie] Yeah, it’s fake. – Okay, good. I’m actually relieved to have been lied to. I take it back. – [Stevie] You can clean dirty tile grout by scrubbing it with “Frank’s RedHot”. – Ooh. – “Frank’s RedHot” is mostly vinegar and you can clean with vinegar, so I’m going to say yes. – I think this is also a lie because I think they’re just playing on the slogan. – [Together] You put shh on anything.” – Including grout. (crew laughs) – [Stevie] It’s made up. – Yeah, see– – [Stevie] Although we haven’t tried it, I don’t think, so. – It’s mostly vinegar, and vinegar is a great cleaning solution. – [Stevie] I mean, it’s a really good point. It’s a really good point. – It also may just turn it red or whatever color that you don’t want it to be. So maybe cleaning red grout. (chuckles) – Red grout. – You know the old red grout. – I’m sure it exists, somewhere. – There’s red grout. – In somebody’s bad taste of a home. – You can have grout made to any color you want. – Yeah, – They mix it. – I know. (crew laughs) – [Stevie] To– – I knew a grout mixer, – [Stevie] remove– – was not happy. (chuckles) – Two? – [Stevie] hard– – Remove hard water stains. – [Stevie] food stains from your countertop, forget the chemicals, you can simply use your own spit. – Well, your spit does have – What kinda countertop? – some reactive agents in it. – [Stevie] I do not have information on the kind of countertop we’re talking about. – I know that to remove your own bloodstain you can use your own spit. Something about the– – Blood type. – No, something about your spit and your blood– – I’ve heard this. – You know like your– But this, I think this is a lie. – But what if your food stain is from your own blood? – This is too– – I’m going to say this is true. – This is too general of a statement. I need to know the type of countertop. Of course you can use spit in general, but specifically? – [Stevie] So you’re saying, of course you can, but you’re also guessing that this is a lie. – Don’t let him change his answer. – You can use spit to clean your shoes too but it’s not, you know– – It’s not shine. – It’s not a real– It’s not an actual cleaning hack. It’s just like– – [Stevie] Yeah, it is weird. (laughs) It’s real. But yeah, you’re right. I mean, I don’t know what kind of hack it is. It says saliva has an enzyme called (mumbles) (all mimicking her sounds) (all laugh) – I don’t understand what you just said. – A M Y L A S E. – Yeah. – Amylase. – Amylase. – [Stevie] And it’s used as one of the first steps of digestion. And that same enzyme can also be used to break down food spills. – Oh yeah, because food is what’s digesting inside your body, so it can digest on your countertop. – All right, – [Stevie] There’s a link that says– – I’ll take an L on that one. – “amylase pronunciation”. (fumbles over words) The internet– We’ll come back to it. Come back to that one. – Yeah. Or maybe we won’t. – Yeah, I don’t think it’s – [Stevie] You can clean your jewelry with a healthy handful of shaving cream. (Link sighs) – I know shaving cream can be clean– Can be used to clean some things. – We’ve used shaving cream here to clean like paint off of our face and off of our hands. We’ve definitely learned that hack. – This must be right. – So I think this is true. – This is true. – [Stevie] It is true. Did you guys never do that in kindergarten? Where they, like, they give you a bunch of shaving cream and you put it all over your desk and then you can– Then you clean it off. I mean, I think it’s just really so that you can play with the shaving cream, but I guess it also works. You don’t remember that day? You didn’t have that day? – We’re not from Greensboro. – No. (crew laughs) Where they– That’s like a Tom Sawyer trick. Trick you into cleaning your own desk. – There’s lots of things that you experienced that didn’t make it out of Greensboro. Or didn’t make it all the way down to where we were. – [Stevie] Yeah, one time, in second grade, we were learning about caves– I feel like I’ve told this story. And the teacher turned the air conditioning as far up as it would go, so that it’d be really cold for us to learn how cold caves are. – Hey, immersive educational experience. – [Stevie] It was– And it was a trailer where, you know where the class was. – Yeah, they’d get it really cold. – We didn’t have air conditioning at Buies Creek. – [Stevie] Okay. (laughs) – There couldn’t be no cave simulation. (crew laughs) – I don’t– I just don’t learn in one of those trailers. I just– I refuse to do it. – Yeah I was like, my education doesn’t count. If you’re going to put me outside and make me walk, like I’m in California or something, having to go outside to go to a different class, that didn’t count. (Link chuckles) – [Stevie] Easily remove spaghetti sauce stains from white t-shirts by rubbing the stain with mouthwash first, before tossing it into the laundry machine. – Mouthwash? – [Stevie] Also known as the washer. – “The laundry machine”, that part’s a dead giveaway. This is not real. You don’t put mouthwash– That’s alcohol and some green dye. – I don’t know what alcohol does for a stain like that. Yeah, I’ve never heard that. This seems fabricated. – [Stevie] It is fake. – Yeah, no, don’t do that. You know what you can do, speaking of a laundry machine. (laughs) If you get one of these “Good Mythical Morning” Minimalist Hoodies, that I’m wearing right now, you can get the stains out with the laundry machine. But you know what? Stains are not going to show up that much on it, ’cause it’s a black hoodie. I mean– – It’s a black hoodie. It’s got a mesmerizing design, throw all the stains you want at it. It won’t care. mythical.com. Get it. – [Stevie] You can clean the rust off rusty tools by soaking them in Dr. Pepper. – True. – [Stevie] Yeah. Oh, that’s– Link, sorry, I thought you were gonna say yes on that one. – In the same way that you can clean old, messed up battery terminals, on your car, with Coke. And I assume Dr. Pepper would do the same thing. – And your windshield. So you clean your windshield with Coca-Cola. – I put Coca-Cola in my windshield dispenser thing, in my car. – You do? In case you get thirsty, you just– – I love the smell of it. I love the way it attracts the bugs. – You just, yeah. You just lay on the roof when you get thirsty you can say, “hit the spray button!” – Yeah, I just want– I want to wake up in the morning and go out to my car and just see a colony of ants that have just decided to live on the windshield. So then I can hit ’em with Coke and watch them all die. (chuckles) (crew laughs) – We’re tired. – [Stevie] Remove Sharpie graffiti from bathroom stalls by applying a paste of egg whites and bread flour, let it sit for an hour, and then scrape it off. – Make a cookie on a bathroom stall and then get rid of– Come on y’all, that ain’t gonna work. – Egg whites and what? – [Stevie] You, of course, remember our Sharpie incident? Sharpie on the white board. – Yeah, and you know how you get rid of that? – [Stevie] Yes, I do. – Dry Erase over it. – Yeah, I’m saying this is a lie. Cookie. – [Stevie] Yeah, it’s a lie. – All right, neck and neck. – [Stevie] Do you have a lot of graffiti in your school bathrooms? – No, not really. – We’ve got a little bit, not as much as Greensboro. – I never went in the stalls. The last thing I was going to do was poop at school. – You know what, interestingly enough, as much as I am okay with pooping anywhere, I probably pooped in a Buies Creek Elementary School stall less than five times in my career from K through eighth. – I mean, cause yeah you’re subjecting yourself to ridicule. – You never pooped once? – I can, with confidence, say not once. And I went there through eighth grade. My middle school was also there. – Did you ever poop at Harnett Central? – No. I never once pooped– There has to be– – You didn’t poop at Harnett Central? – I bet you I’d never pooped in high school either. (crew laughs) – I pooped at high school. By that point, I was like, “I don’t care”. – I mean, even when, like, I graduated from college and I started working at IBM, I would go– I would leave my cubicle and I would go up the stairs to a different floor and poop. ‘Cause there were bathrooms that were like smaller. – [Stevie] So what happened between then and now? Because you don’t seem to have that problem here. (crew laughs) – That’s not me. (crew laughs hysterically) – That’s not me that’s been pooping all over the place. What do you– What do you mean? – I mean, I feel like– I feel like this bathroom here, I like to think I’m the only one that uses it at all. – Yeah, you are. – I like to think of it as my bathroom. – Yeah, I think– – No– – I think everyone feels that way about that. – Oh, everybody poops in that bathroom? (crew laughs) – A lot of people poop in that bathroom, because they know they can’t be heard in case they get a little bit loud. If you get too loud while pooping you can be heard in the bullpen area. – Well, you’ve ruined it for me. (crew laughs) – [Stevie] Okay. Oh, this one’s pertinent to you, Link. You can clean tar off your car by rubbing peanut butter on it, waiting a minute, and then wiping it off. – I’m gonna say this is true because oil often is a great way to get gum out of your hair. Peanut butter gets gum out of your hair. It might as well get, you know– – So– – sap and tar off your car. – So the oil in tar– Oil in peanut butter breaks down tar. Yeah, that’s– I think that sounds right. – [Stevie] Yeah. You know– – You can get it off of your car though. – Everybody poops. (GMM theme plays) – In that bathroom, apparently. – [Rhett] The GMM Minimalist Hoodie is minimalism at its most mythical. Get yours now at mythical.com.
