GMMore 2800: Weirdest Ways To Open A Wine Bottle

Welcome to Good Mythical More. We are gonna help you tackle a familiar situation. You know, maybe you’ve gone to a new locale, you wanna celebrate, you got some wine, but this locale doesn’t have a wine opener. It’s happened to me. So what are you gonna use? You’re gonna use a hanger, you’re gonna use a bike pump, you’re gonna use a shoe. You’re gonna use a screwdriver or are you gonna use a blowtorch? Well, we’re gonna use all of ’em to open wine. But first, we’re going to give Andrew $100 to spend at the Mythical store because we spotted you out in the wild in your Mythical merch with #merchicality. Get some more. Good color block hoodie set on, in his bathroom. This exact scenario happened to me, um, during Thanksgiving. Mm-hmm. We had the whole family there and somebody brought wine, but we had not yet gotten a wine opener, and we didn’t do any of these things. We did a screw, a wood screw into, into the, into the thing and then pull it out, I think is what we ended up doing. I don’t know. We went on– That’s, uh. We went on YouTube. That’s one idea. And did it, and it worked. We’re gonna start, we’re gonna start with a string and a screwdriver, and we’re gonna follow these instructions. With the screwdriver, carefully create a hole through the cork. Once finished, tie a knot in one end of the string and push. Screwdriver please. There you go. The knot through the cork. With the screwdriver. Well, I wanna make sure I’m not just gonna push the whole cork down. Carefully create a hole through the cork with a screwdriver? I think you might have to. Oh. Nope. Yeah. Well, I did what I was hoping I wouldn’t do. So now pull it. So now push it. So now push it down in there. And now we just drink the wine. Now this will do a thing where it does that. Yeah. And now you just drink it. Now you just drink the wine. You just drink the wine. Okay. Now tie a large knot on one end of the string. Okay. So we push the knot, how, how were, how? How were you supposed to carefully create a hole through a cork with a screwdriver? You know what you could do? Is there video of this? A drill would work. A drill would work, but not a screwdriver, a screwdriver’s gonna push it down. Where’d you get this one from? Internet. Yeah. Do you have a drill? Stupid part of the internet. Okay. I watched a video guy did it. You watch? Okay, so you did watch a video of got, how did he put the screwdriver? Creepy. How did he put the screwdriver through the, you know what I could do? He twisted, Rhett, and you just pressed down. So it’s Rhett’s fault. What I could do if you gimme another wine bottle. Okay. Oh, actually no. I was hoping it might be like, let’s come back to this, you know, sticking out a little bit. Let’s come back to this one. Come back to it. We won’t. Okay, well, okay, here’s a good one. Blowtorch. Using a blowtorch, apply heat to the neck of the wine bottle. Right below the cork. Right below the cork. Right below the cork. So that would be right here. I’ll say for this one, it’s better to rotate the wine bottle as you go. The heat should force the cork to move upward and eventually outta the bottle. What? What? I don’t believe it. However, make sure the bottle is not cold or else it could explode from the rapid change in temperature. God, that’s cold a little bit. No, it’s. It’s not going to explode everywhere. Apply heat to the neck of the wine bottle right below the cork. The heat should force the cork to move upward. This is, this is, oh, is it? Is it moving? No. Oh, I can see that. The bottom of the cork is, touch that right there and see. It’s hot. Yeah, it’s hot. It’s real hot. I can see the bottom of the cork is sizzling. Sizzling? Yeah, or bubbling or something. Why am I so scared? Just keep it, I think you can get it closer. Keep going. You got it. You can’t. How long does it say to go, Katrina? A couple minutes. Just keep going. Just keep conversation. Just keep going. Just keep going. Could you rotate a little bit? Could you do the rotation? Because you’re scared? I just wanna be further away. I think you’re, I think you need to get closer like that. Don’t hit the cork though. Ahhh! Ahhh! Wha what? Oh my God. Did you believe it? Oh my God. Did you believe it? Science. Did you think that that would happen? Oh no. Did you– Look, it’s smoking! Did you try to drink? Yeah. It’s so hot. The wine is, the bottle is so hot. Ugh. Is it hot? It’s almost worth it. Is it hot? Okay. And then you can burn. You see that thing? Then you can burn that. Did you see the thing? It was so high. It was crazy. It’s still, it’s still up there. Wow. I wonder where that does to the wine. Yeah. Well, the wine’s down here. Wine’s here. Drink it. Drink the wine and find out. You got any stuff in there? Oh, it’s still very hot up there. Here, let’s see if we cook the wine here. I’m gonna put that in there and I’ll pour that in here. Sorry. Hear that? Listen. I put my mouth on that. Crazy. You crazy. That’s enough. I wanna see if it takes it cooked. Look at it. You just cooking the wine. Cook it. Did it cook it? Taste fine. Tastes like my honeymoon last time I drank white wine. Isn’t white wine for like lightweights? Let’s be real. It’s also for sophisticated people. And sophisticated people? Because you like come back to white, I think is what happens. You come back to white? You come back to white. Yeah. Yeah. Why does white exist? For honeymoons and sophisticated? Don’t you go back to white eventually? I just think of I have white wine or rose with the sun out and it’s hot. And then you have red wine when the sun is down, sun’s out, right? So you’re always drinking wine. Yep. As long as you’re drinking wine, you fine. Man. All right. That was a lot of fun. It’s not gonna get better than that. You might as well go do something else now. Wrap the bottom of the wine bottle in a towel, but instead of proceeding to slam it against a wall. Simply put it upside down in between your legs while sitting and slap it with a shoe. Say all that again. Did we buy a shoe for this? Yeah. And you know what? They’re yours to take home. What size are they? Eight? [Crew]: 10 in women. Okay. Yeah, 10 in women. That’s not what I wear. Any women’s tens around? We could have used anybody’s shoe. We bought a shoe. Okay. Alright. Isn’t, I guess it’s a nice shoe. It’s a double zip. Okay, could you read it again? Could you hand me the wine? Wrap the bottle of wine in a towel. Simply put it upside down in between your legs while sitting. Upside down. In between my legs. While sitting. While sitting. Wrap it in a towel. What has that gotta do with anything? Move, move back a little bit further and now take. This is a wine bottle. Can you see it guys? Mm-hmm. But, uh, leave the, uh, cork exposed so we can get some coverage of that popping out. Okay. Can they see the cork? Cork’s right here, move back a little bit. How about now? And then let’s use this shoe we bought to, um, slap it with a shoe. It’s basically, you’re gonna spank it. Now when it comes out. Maybe turn it over after. But may, can we put a barf bucket under there? Uh, we’re putting a towel under there. It should be very slow. It’ll be slow. Yeah. You should be able to see it come out and then you can grab some pliers. Nice shoe. Yeah. Okay. I think it’s moving. Keep going. Harder, faster. Stronger. Yes. Keep going. That’s it. That’s what we need, rhe. That’s what we need from you. Hey, I’m telling you it’s working. Why am I doing this by myself? Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. You can do it. Come on. Yes. Look at this. Oh, my close. There you go. Here you go. Almost wined you. Oh my gosh, it’s so hot. I almost wined you. Do you see how it just whooped, it whooped right up. Yeah, look at that. I mean. This is really helpful for people. I wanna see a woman in these shoes. I, I’m a 10. Oh, the producer of this episode is a 10. I can put it on. What a coincidence. We getting some new shoes, just a– That’s interesting that we bought these shoes just for this, and it’s the same size that Katrina wears. Yeah. Yeah. It’s crazy. Yep. So I can only– I attempted to make that joke. I can only unzip one side. I didn’t hear you, Link. Sorry. I don’t usually listen. It’s okay. It’s okay. Yeah. Um, bike pump. Take a bike pump that has a needle attached and plunge it through the cork penetrating all the way through until the needle reaches the air between the cork and the white. Look at Katrina. Look at Katrina. She looks great. Look. Right here. Oh. Oh yeah. Yep. Look at that. Look at that. Oh, look at that. I expect to see those. Those are really nice. A lot. There was a mosquito. Yeah, there was a mosquito. We got mosquitoes in here. I don’t know why she slapped her own. Was that pun? Did you punish yourself? Let me have the, let me have– I’ll say like for people who actually are looking for how, how to open their wine without a corkscrew, the first one that makes any sense in terms of what you would have is the shoe. Yeah. Situation. Like, that’s like legit. Think about if you just took your shoe off and got a towel and started doing that, people would like, he’s crazy. Yeah. But, and then all of a sudden. But buying the shoe first? No, that part doesn’t. Okay, so take a bike, take the pump, pump needle, attach, plunge it through the cork, penetrating all the way through into the needle, reaches the air between the cork. And the problem is it’s not, it’s not long enough. Okay, well that’s gonna be a problem. Do I have to make the. I have to make this longer. And then. What are you doing? Pumpin’ yourself up. Seeing if, yeah, getting ready. See if, see if it works. Okay. Maybe it’ll get close enough. We’ll see. I penetrate all the way down. Oh man. It’s just not long enough. Just not quite long enough. And then what? Well then I think you would just pump air into the bottle and I think as you pump, the cork should slowly move up. Oh man, it’s just not long enough. Now we’re just pumping air into the cork. Are you guys in between the cork and the wine bottle? There’s straight at the bottle. Yeah. You gotta be like on the side of it. On the side of the cork. Oh no. Uh oh. How do I, how do I grab this? So if I put this back on there, it doesn’t say you have to be to the side of it. We just, but. So if I go to the side, maybe? Okay. Oh yeah. But see, now it’s coming back out through the. Okay. That’s safe. That’s safe. Well, I want you to be able to see what’s happening. Yeah. But now the needle is just about to break off. It’s just literally just coming out right at the top. If the needle was little bit longer. Needle’s not long enough. It is. You did it. Yeah. When you did it. How’d you do it? What? What did you do? Is there another needle? You’re, you just make sure it’s all the way straight down. It was like at an angle and that’s why it’s messing up like that. Yeah. Okay. I think now what you’ve done, see, I can see you’ve gone right back into the same channel. Right. But it’s right. It’s straight up and down. If it’s straight, it should work. I think it is gonna force air down there. Wow. Yes, yes, yes. Wow. You have re-earn our trust. Wow. So you just go to the side. That’s cool. That’s cool. That’s cool. So just so you know, you go to the side. Okay. Okay. And finally hook with hanger. That was amazing. Hook with hanger. I mean, why would you do that with a bicycle pump. By the way. When you could just use a towel and a shoe. We’re having wine for lunch. You know? We are. And no food. Okay. Uh, just wine Chardonnay. Here’s a hanger. Bend the tip of the hanger about 30 degrees back. If you do this right, it will look like a fish hook, meaning like this, like unwind hanger and make a hook like, like undo the hangar and make a hook using a half inch of wire. Oh, unlined between bottle and. Then make a little hook at the top. Well, you don’t have to do that. Make this straight, straighten it, and then with pliers or your hands, make a little hook at the top, a little hook. And then you’re gonna, you’re gonna put it down beside the cork, and then you’re gonna rotate it. And then the hook is gonna pull it up. This seems like a, this seems a lot harder than using a blowtorch. Okay, what am I gonna do? Stick it beside, you’re gonna slide the wire down into the sealed wine bottle alongside the cork, rotate 90 degrees, so the hook is underneath the cork, and then pull up the wire. Pliers or other household items can be used to tug at the hangar if it seems stuck. Yeah, that’s gonna be hard I think. I think you need to make, you need to make that straighter so you can push harder. Like just hook too big. No, that’s alright. No, no. I’m saying, I’m saying if you like take this and then you go like this, make it more of a point. Yeah. So you can shove it down in there and then actually make it even more of a point. Just get it sharp as possible. Just so long as it can be turned and rotated. Yeah. But that’s your, um. There you go. Okay. Can you get it in there? Will it, will it shove beside the cork? I think so. You just have to be ginger with it. He’s doing it. He’s doing it. I could apply some heat from a blow torch if you’d like. I mean, that was the best one. Am I right? Oh, oh. Yes. No, it’s starting to push the cork down. Show ’em what you’re doing. It’s starting to push the cork down. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I’m ruining it. It’s okay. It’s okay. It ain’t gonna happen. But what if I can get it down there and still get it out? Katrina, give, gimme your shoe back. I’m gonna, no, I’m gonna, I’m gonna do that. Yeah, I’m gonna do this. I couldn’t get this one to work. And then I’m, and then I’m gonna grab it. Look, look, look, look, look. Oh, there you go. I got it. I got it. Oh, oh, there you go. Oh God. Oh God. Hey, if he gets it, you can have this back. If not, you don’t get it. Where’s my towel? So basically I’m back to square one. Well, you’ve got it, the hook underneath. So I mean, why do that when you have a shoe? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I mean, you’re just back to square one right now. Yes. You’re gonna be hurting tomorrow. [bleep]. Didn’t work. You don’t get to keep that. Sorry. Look, man.
