Welcome to the Good Mythical More. Man, I have. I’m just really coming down from using all my smarts. – Yeah, right. – Man, I’m just. I got to tuck. I got to tuck that smart muscle away. – Yeah, now we just need to watch things. – Yeah, we’re going to watch TikToks of experiments so dangerous that they weren’t allowed to be performed in this studio. So we just got to watch other people perform them – And we’re going to erupt this here volcano. They don’t make volcanoes like they used to. Apparently, they’re better now. But first, let’s check our voicemail. – Link, you’re old. – Okay. ((Laughing)) – Go on. – That was simple. – Go on. – Simple, straightforward. To the point. Link, you’re old. – But not as old as others. – Yeah. – You know what? We are old. And it’s like I was telling the crew, I tell them every morning, I was like, you know what? – You’re young. – You’ll be lucky to live to our age. You know? – Yeah, yeah. – You know, we’re fortunate. – We’re fortunate. – To live to this age. – Yeah. A lot of cave. Cave people didn’t live this long. – A lot of cave people didn’t live to this age. – Yeah, most of them. – And you don’t know what your future holds for you crew. And so so you need to start looking at us a little more longingly for our age. – Longingly. Let’s make a volcano. Well, you know, let’s see one of these TikToks and then. – The way that they do this now, first of all, you don’t, they sell a volcano in a box and they try to make it where it’s like. – We started from nothing. – We had nothing. – We made the volcano from nothing. – Back when we didn’t know how old we were going to get. – We got vinegar. We got baking soda. – Just with household items. – We made a mess. – We used elephant dung to make the spire. – We don’t even know where we got it. – But we got it. – It smells so nice. – Stevie, should we be warned? Should we give a warning? Don’t try this at home. – [Stevie] The volcano? – No, what you’re about to show us. – [Stevie] Oh, maybe. Let’s see after we watch the first one. – Let’s make a decision. – Okay. None of us have seen this. – This is how you can do this at home. Take butane, which is. – [Stevie] Yes. ((Laughing)) – Put it in a bottle of water. Also, it might not work the first time, so you’ll have to try it again. Now just flip it. Butane evaporates at the bottom of the bottle. Get’s the water out. – And your ankles touch each other as you get afraid. Cool chemistry guy you got, cool chemistry guy, you got to. You got to, you got to be more poised when things like that happen. You got to be cool and calm about it. You can’t be like. – I don’t know if you should. – Cringe. – I mean, I just don’t know if you should be critiquing. He’s cool and he’s a chemistry guy. – He’s in a field and he looks. – You haven’t done anything like that in quite awhile. – I’m not, my name is not cool chemistry guy. – Right. – He’s not cool. It’s one of the three words in his name. – You don’t know if. – He’s not being cool. – He may not have given himself that name. – [Stevie] Oh, I have. So I have an explanation. And then, and then in my explanation it answers the question. – Is he cool? – [Stevie] Yes. When the bottles turned over the water mixing with the butane causes the butane to almost instantaneously turn into a gas. The gas expandes rapidly, and it escapes out of the bottom of the bottle, creating a rocket. Note, do not try this at home. – He wasn’t at home. He was in a field. – [Stevie] Butane is extremely cold and can cause injuries to bare skin. Also, this reaction can cause the plastic bottle to explode. So even if it seems cool. – And it didn’t. – [Stevie] It’s not worth the risk of major injury. Stay safe, kids. Smiley face. – Right. Because what could happen it can come and can fire back in your face. It can put out your eye. It can put out your sense of smell your sense of all of your senses probably. And who knows what the butane could do. And what is it doing to the soil? – Fertilizing it. We’ve got bicarbonate, sodium and citric acid. These are the first two ingredients that we were supposed to load into the hole. – And then, not that much. Well, I’m getting in about the same amount. And then. You take. – Oh, you’ve already done the other? – Scissors, yeah, and you mix. – And then you just put water in there, which we have here. Let’s see another one before we really go for it. Because we also have pop crystals that we’re going to throw. – Oh, yeah, that’s the next round. – Oh, next round? We’re doing multiple rounds? – Multiple rounds. – Okay, let’s see another – [Man] We’ll all put our phones away. – Okay, tell me when you’re ready. Okay. – [Rhett] Oh, no. – [Link] Doing a little mixing. – [Rhett] Oh! – What? Was that a doctor? ((Laughing)) – Burn that woman – Or a witch. – [Stevie] Each container has a different solution. One has vitamin C, iodine and water, and the other has a hydrogen peroxide plus liquid starch solution. Iodine is blue in the presence of starch, but before it can turn that color, the vitamin C reacts and consumes it, keeping the solution colorless. However, once the vitamin C is gradually used up, the solution quickly turns blue because iodine and starch are present. So essentially two reactions happen at the same time, with one delaying the other using a cool timed effect. – Now, why couldn’t we do that? – [Stevie] Kids, smiley face. – We could do that. – We could have done that. – We could totally do that. – [Stevie] Yeah, but did you see how she looked? I don’t think so. – She looked nervous. Yeah. – [Stevie] No, she also looked really cool. I don’t know if you could pull that off. – Well she looked happier. – [Stevie] You also said, is she a doctor? I wouldn’t think that about you. And those are other reasons why you could not do this. – I didn’t say I wouldn’t think that about you. – [Stevie] I said, I wouldn’t think that about you. – About me? – Yeah. When you put on a white coat, you don’t look like a doctor. And first of all, neither does she. She looks like a chemist. – Well, maybe a chemistry teacher. – Yeah, chemistry. That explains the whiteboard behind her and the class reacting to it. ((Laughing)) Unless, like, it’s an appointment. It’s a group appointment. You ever been to a group appointment? Sometimes, like if you want. – If everybody has the same problem? – Yeah, if cheap health care, if you get up to a dozen people that have the same problem, you can all get examined at the same time. – [Stevie] It’s a Groupon. – It’s a Groupon. And usually they start with a demonstration because it’s like you’re all there. You got an audience. Okay, let’s push this up a little bit. It’s going to go everywhere, Link. More, more, more, more, more, more. Less, less. – [Link] More, more, more, more – I feel like. – I’ve never been to an active volcano. I’ve been to an inactive volcano, steer it up with the scissors. – Smell that. – Smells like a, smells like a lab. All right, so next time, we’re going to put some Pop Rocks in this. Want one of these. All right, let’s see another one. – [Man] All right. Cool man’s got some rubidium. That’s what they’re in it. Now, this one is a mad thing. This is the second most reactive metal in the whole world. The only thing more reactive than this, is caesium. And I’ve got a little bit caesium there is golden in that, you get me? but rubidium is silver still. Open up the glass ampoule. And get the rubidium out, smash. You done now. Okay, so as soon as rubidium metal is exposed to air, it changes color and melts into a liquid. And that’s because the rubidium metal reacts with the oxygen in the air to form rubidium super oxide. And this reaction is exothermic and it causes the metal to melt. Now, as I touched the rubidium metal, we can see bare spots in that, you get me? And what we’re going to do now is react it with some water. Crazy. Watch this. – [Rhett] Holy. What? – [Man] Oh, my days. – Oh, my days, fam. Love that guy’s accent, you get me. He kept saying, you get me. – It took me halfway through to realize it was English. – You get me, you get me. – Yeah. I think he kind of said it all. Stevie, there’s not much left to say. Unless I would want to understand it. – [Stevie] No. Stay safe, kids. Smiley face. – Okay. Yeah. – You know how. – He has the two most reactive metals just in his backyard? – I love channels like this where they get hold of these things. – Big money. – You know, sodium. Just straight sodium. – Salt. If you, no, not sodium chloride. Sodium. – Okay. – So if you take straight sodium like a ball of sodium and you throw it like there was a chemistry teacher, I think in Harney County, he took it and threw it into a pond and it created a giant explosion that several kids, I think it was a group doctor’s appointment, he’s a chemist and a doctor. And it was outside. – Were they all bent over? – It was a physical. And right before he asked them all to turn and cough, he threw sodium into the pond. – And what happened? – It blew up. It’s crazy. – Did it hurt them? – No, they’re all fine. – See kids, they’re all fine. So you should not try it at your local pond. – I’m going to do some more of this, now. – But we want to leave that down. – We got to immediately start erupt. I need to empty this out. Oh, gosh. – Okay, so we got pop crystals. These are not the edible kind. – Should I do a different proportion, or is it just 50/50? Mad Dog? – [Lucas] 50/50 for science. – Okay. – And we’re going to do a little science shenanigan here. And then – [Rhett] Rocks. – [Link] Rocks all on the top here. You know what? There we go. – Nope. So how do we get water in there? – Well, we get rid of some of the Pop Rocks just by pouring. – Okay. This is interesting. I didn’t mix it. This is cool. – If you want to mix. -This is cool? You get me? – Mix a little bit in a minute. – I’m gonna start saying “you get me” more often. – [Link] Now, mix. There we go. – This is how volcanoes actually work. God takes his big scissors and sticks him into the To the top. – To the top of the earth? – Yeah. God’s got his scissors again. – This one didn’t work as well It’s working. I mean, if you’re doing this as your actual, like, competitive science experiment. It’s a demonstration. You know, you’re going to lose. – Yes, that experiment was a demonstration. You deserve to lose. If this is your experiment. – We’ve demonstrated pretty much how lame this is. Let’s see another one of the stellar experiments. – If I hold it like this. – [Rhett] Whoa, settle down. – What will happen? It will drop. Why? Gravity, boring. – [Link] Boring. – We start spinning it. Ready? – [Link] I’ve seen this. – I drop it. And it stays. – [Link] What a showman. – What’s happening? What’s happening? It’s a gyroscope now. It is spinning and it is precising like our planet Earth. – Earth. – Earth. – That’s what I’m going to call earth from now on. – Earth. – Earth. – Earth. – Wow she needs. – That doctor has got some energy. – She needs more energy. We need to, we need to bring it up a few notches. So everyone will listen. – I have a bike. – [Matt Carney] Some woman just, like, defied physics and you’re just making fun of her after. ((Laughing)) – Hey, listen, I played with a gyroscope before. – We’ve seen this. – I’ve also ridden a bike. – Right. – No hands. That’s how no hands works, right? Not really. – No hands with it. – Because it’s free. Because it’s free spinning. – That was pretty great. – Have you seen, there’s another one of these where there’s another teacher that is in a stool that is free spinning and they hold both sides of a wheel, the spinning like that, and they begin turning, the whole chair begins to turning. Because. – That’s why put yourself in harm’s way if you’re going to, if you want to really teach the kids. -Remember when Mr. Bryant would, like decide to do some kind of, it’s physics class, but he would like be like we’re going to go in the hall and do something. – Like swing a pendulum and I actually don’t remember going in the hall with Mr. Bryant. Mr. Bryant was the greatest. He taught us. – AP physics. And Calculus, as high school seniors and his weird sense of humor that, like, snuck up on you. He wasn’t in your face like this way. He was very subtle. – Way more subtle than this lady. – He chose his moments. You had to wait for it because he would kind of like, he would kind of talk like this. – And he wore a short sleeved shirt and a tie every day. And he would do one of those things where he would write on the board and then as hd’d be writing on the board is his his belly and his shirt would erase what he had written on the board. – Do you notice that almost all the male teachers at Harnett Central wore dress shirts and ties every day in a public school in the middle of Harnett County, like Coach Gage wore a tie. – I never think anything of it. – Is that unusual though? Is that unusual? Do male teachers still wear dress shirts and ties at public school? That’s not happening now, is it? – [Stevie] I think it’s a situation where like they will wear whatever all the rest of the male teachers are wearing at that school. And so if that’s what they’re wearing. – And they don’t want to, like, turn you know, be like I’m the polo guy. – I mean, I would go in for like, like the middle school, meet the teacher. I guess I would go in for the high school meet the teachers. So the answer is no. – Yes, my kid’s teachers were wearing ties. – Now that I think about something that I’ve done and I apply my personal life to the answering of your question, the answer is no, let’s see another one. – [Man] This is what happens when you pour liquid nitrogen on a balloon, the gas inside a balloon turns into liquid and solid. And it shrinks. When you take it out, the liquid turns back into gas and the balloon grows. – [Rhett] But, they prune the balloon. – And depruned it. Oh, this is still cool chemistry guy, by the way. Much cooler. – When you don’t see his shorts. Or his like, his scared reactions. So it turns into a liquid and a solid – Yeah – And then it comes back. – It’s giving balloons new life again. – That is cool, do balloons need they need a future, you know? – Because most balloons start to think when they start to shrink like that, they think, this is it. My life is over. – Right. – And then that balloon that happens and it comes back. That must be a weird feeling. – It gives us hope as middle aged men who we hope you will all be one day. – Right. – Let’s see another one. – [Rhett] Oh, peanut butter. Oh, this is red hot. It’s basically a red hot ball of steel. – [Link] That’s some yellow peanut butter. – [Rhett] This is a really fun thing to watch on the internet in general is when they take a red hot ball. – [Link] It’s just cooking the peanut butter. – [Rhett] And they drop, sometimes it’ll put it on something. – [Link] Oh, he’s just touching it. – [Rhett] It just drops through everything. – [Link] Yeah. I mean, it didn’t really change the I mean, right around the ball. It burnt the peanut butter. – I mean, peanut butter is. – Resilient. – Yeah, it’s very resilient. – I’m surprised that he grabbed that beaker and you know, that beaker, – Strong beaker. – Will withstand some heat, man. – If you’re ever going to swallow a red hot ball, iron ball or steel ball, eat a lot of peanut butter, right before you do it. – Right, fill your belly full of peanut butter. – You’ll be just fine. – [Stevie] You want to see another red hot ball thing? – Yes. – Yeah, I think, hopefully it gets better. Yes, yes. Yes. – [Link] I think the ice ultimately wins, Right? – [Rhett] Yeah. It’s not going to get over through. – [Link] It’s stopping. That sound is amazing. Of course it’s submerged in water, and the water is leaking out. – [Rhett] Look at that. – [Link] Oh, it is going to go all the way. No. Yeah? Is it? – [Rhett] You can touch it with your bare hands. See? – Wonderful, wonderful. That is a wonderful thing. If you’ve got a flaming hot ball, don’t use it. – Right. Not at home. At least Take it to a friend’s house. That was a crazy sound, dude. It was like, the ice was screaming Oh, you’re so hot. Oh, you’re so hot. You’re making a tunnel inside of me. Oh, you got another one? – You ever wonder what happens if you throw a penny in some nitric. Acid? – Never. – No. – Probably not. But watch anyway, because it’s cool when this copper penny is exposed to nitric acid, it quickly and violently reacts, forming copper nitrate while also spitting off a bunch of angry nitrogen dioxide. – [Rhett] You breathe that straight in? – [Man] Oh, this is cool in its own right. But, if I take the product and dilute it in water, it becomes this beautiful blue color. As the copper ions coordinate with water molecules. Pretty interesting. Right? – Yeah, pretty interesting. Right. It sounds like you’re getting, you’re trying to get me to think it’s interesting, but, you know, it’s not pretty interesting, right? Not really, you idiot. That’s what it sounded like. – Yeah. A little condescending. – Condescending at the end. – But I think that he would make for a great doctor. And you know what I mean by that? – Yeah. Yeah. Elaborate. – A chemistry teacher.
