- [Dan] So first, - Power.
- Plug it in.
- [Shaun] Plug it in.
- [Dan] And then you cut it.
- [Shaun] Wait, what, are you serious?
- Ahhhhhhhh.
- [Shaun] Wait are you serious?
- No.
- I'm so confused.
Since when does Dan make funny jokes,
this is so confusing.
Best day ever, we just destroyed lava lamps
with what's inside, look at this guy.
We dropped a Go-Pro inside of it, splashed everywhere
and then you saw the bubbles like bubbling up.
And we also shot the hot lava into this cold water
and it turns into this weird design right here.
Lincoln, was it fun?
- Yeah, I loved it. It was so much fun destroying it too.
- High five. Yeah. Better high five.
- I about-
- Is that, one, one more high five. Oh, there, that was
a good high five.
So now what we are doing is creating a monster
lava lamp outta this guy.
Step one, find a giant container.
I might not recommend going straight to six gallons,
this is a little ambitious, maybe.
Step two,
(box drops)
I almost broke the light bulb.
Step three, don't break the light bulb.
So we're gonna use the wax, yes?
What do you think, Dan. - Yeah, we need the wax,
but, if the wax is cold and hard like this one is,
it's just, you can't really fit it in the hole there.
So, we're gonna try and take the hot lava
and dump it in there.
- Alright, let's start the process, let's start
making this monster.
Ready, all this.
- Kay I'm gonna hold this cause it's kinda shaky.
- Kay.
Oh boy.
Oh! This is such a good idea,
let's keep doing it.
I feel like I'm, oh what's that thing,
Dr. Dreadful, did you ever know what that was?
It was like a little like, it was like
an Easy Bake Oven for boys.
And I got a D in science class, look at this.
My science teacher would be so proud of me right now.
This is how you make the hot lava heat up from the light.
Should we put these coils in there too, do you think?
- I think we go with the scientist here, Dan?
- Yes.
- Did Dan just talk on the fly?
- Yeah, okay, Dan said yes.
Kay, coils in, next stop.
(glass clatters)
Motherfu-
- [Dan] Holy...
- [Shaun] Oh yes, it didn't break!
- [Girl] What happened?
- [Shaun] Nothing.
- Oh nothing?
- [Shaun] Go upstairs, nothing's happening.
- What are you doing? I heard 'holy' from clear upstairs.
- [Shaun] Come look, tell me what you think so far.
- [Girl] What is this though, like what's on here.
- [Shaun] Liquid magma.
- No more screaming.
- [Shaun] Deal.
- No more screaming 'holy'.
- [Shaun] Deal. Bye!
Alright, that was a close one.
Step four or five, whatever we're on,
do science experiments when your wife's not home.
(liquid flowing)
- Look at the little balls going down in there.
- I feel like I'm like, I just cracked eggs
and the yolks are going into-
- Ew!
- That one stinks.
- Ew! I got water on me.
- It's not water, it's liquid magma.
- Oh no.
- This is the colored one. - Oh yeah, how are we
gonna get that wax out?
- We're gonna have to just break this guy.
- Mmkay.
What's an easy way to break this?
- [Lincoln] Over the toilet!
(laughing)
- Where does that even come from?
Or over your garbage can, if you put the metal tray
in there and bang it against it.
- Yeah, I'll figure it out, brb!
- [Dan] Oh there you are.
- [Shaun] The lava lamp is broken, don't worry!
Step seven, curb stomp the lava lamp.
- Step nine, break the wax into small enough pieces
to go inside of there.
And then put the purple turd in there.
- Step ten, don't do this on carpet.
- [Dan] After watching this everybody's gonna want
to make their own lava lamp.
- I know. - This part right here.
- Step fourteen, do it for the lava lamp.
Step like, step like 16, clean up your workspace,
because a dirty workspace is dangerous.
Alright, step like 19 or something,
Dan what are you doin?
- Putting on the seven inch legs on this platform.
- [Shaun] So this is gonna be the platform
the lava lamp will sit on,
we have the legs to raise it up
and then underneath will be the 250 watt light bulb.
(power tools)
Alright what did you just make?
- [Dan] I screwed a box to a board.
- [Shaun] What did you just make in a not sarcastic way?
- I made a box screwed to a board.
(Shaun laughs)
- [Shaun] What're you doing?
- [Dan] So this is the wiring for the heat lamp.
- [Shaun] So in the time that Dan has almost
constructed a functioning light bulb from a power strip,
this Dan has put two legs onto a piece of metal.
- I'm really fast at destroying stuff,
but I cannot build stuff.
- [Shaun] You're doing great.
Boom. Is that looking good?
And then we'll put the lava lamp on here.
Dan, do we have your approval?
- Ehh, it needs to be like twice as high.
- [Dan] Twice.
- [Shaun] Wait are you serious?
- Yeah.
- What if we stack it on a whole bunch of video games?
(Lincoln laughs)
- [Lincoln] Old fashioned.
- Yeah, that's, yeah that's a bad idea.
Boxes of Red Bull.
Dan, does this have your seal of approval?
- It's a start.
- Okay.
Step number 37. Put Red Bull boxes
under your lava lamp structure.
- [Shaun] Hot lava lamp contraption built thus far.
- I'm gonna get a picture of this,
this is actually really cool.
- Yeah. Hashtag Red Bull, hashtag ad,
hashtag sponsored, hashtag Red Bull.
Dan, what's going on?
Wait what's that, superglue?
- [Dan] This is superglue. Extension-
- [Shaun] Is that an open water bottle right here?
- So I got the wrong size of quarter grips
cause I didn't know what size of extension cord
we were using. So,
- Idiot, I woulda got the right size.
K, continue.
- So I have to superglue it in there,
and water actually makes superglue harden immediately.
- The more you know, you hear that?
Check out this sticker, pull up your computer.
Dude! That's rad!
Why don't I have Shonduras stickers?
Kay, if you guys think Shonduras stickers need to happen,
write it in the comments cause they need to happen.
I think Shonduras stickers need to happen.
Moment of truth,
- We're gonna see if - Kay it's off.
- [Shaun] the light bulb turns on. Wait-
(cheering)
Step 51, the light works.
Step 88, we are going to fill up the
monster lava lamp with water.
(energetic music)
Alright I think that's how full we're gonna fill it.
(Dan laughs)
Now it's a lava lamp.
We are going to let this sit.
Give it a couple minutes.
Oh look it's starting to work,
there's a little bubble right there.
I think, I'm starting to feel like 7.5 out of 10
success ratio, it's looking possible.
- That's way better than before, what were you three?
- Yeah, three. It was three before.
While it's heating up and we wait to see if
this is gonna work,
there's actually an easier way to make your own
homemade lava lamps so we're gonna show you
how to do that really quick.
It's fun, it's fast, you could do it for
a science fair project,
homemade volcano, whatever.
So we're gonna do that right now,
and then when we're done we'll see if this guy
is working so stick around.
We've been talking about this guy.
We've come to this conclusion, see right here?
- [Dan] This chunk right here,
this is supposed to be,
only go up when it's completely gel and
hot and fire molten lava,
but it's a big ol' chunk of hard, cold wax.
- It's still solid.
- Basically, the water,
the liquid we have in here is more dense
than the wax, even when it's cold.
So I think we're gonna run to the store
and get rubbing alcohol,
mix it with the water,
hopefully make the water less dense,
and then the liquid will work correctly.
So basically, Dan's going on an alcohol run.
- Here we go.
(Shaun laughs)
- Guys, welcome to how to build a lava lamp
out of stuff in your kitchen.
You pour water,
you pour water first?
- [Dan] Yes.
- How high do we wanna go?
- Way high, bro.
- [Dan] Nope. Bout right,
actually that's good.
- Next step you wanna get a little bit of-
- Canola oil.
- Canola oil. You know a little bit goes
a long way with this guy.
- [Dan] That's-
- Stop there, watch it, cause it keeps going.
- We need less water.
We need like that much water
and the whole rest of it to be canola oil.
I swear it should be like mostly canola oil
with a little bit of water
and then the water that has food coloring
in it like mixes around.
I think I'm right and you're wrong
and if that's true then I will die happy.
- [Dan] Okay, actually yeah, you are.
I read it wrong.
- Kay. Forget this project, we did it wrong.
Restart!
Welcome back!
Now we know how to make this
and we're gonna show you it's easy.
You wanna start out with a little bit of water.
That's good.
Water is more dense than canola oil,
so the water will stay on the bottom
and the rest of the lava lamp will be canola oil.
- [Dan] That's too much.
(Dan laughs)
- Holy.
- [Lincoln] Good.
- [Dan] Dump out a little more.
- So we've got our food coloring.
- Food coloring. Many drops. Let's do-
- Just do like nine.
There we go.
So they go to the bottom,
eventually they'll make contact with the water and-
Ohhhh, you see that?
- Oh, check that out! Boom.
- Look at that, was I right or was I right?
- Boom.
- We can actually put it in
the lava lamp fixture if we'd like.
Boom, look at that beautiful lava lamp.
Now the way you get this lava lamp
to work is Alka-Seltzer.
What is Alka-Seltzer even used for
except for like weird science projects?
- Yeah, seriously.
- Like I legitimately don't know what Alka-Seltzer
is used for except for fun.
Three, two, one, go.
- Oo, lava lamp-
- Wait wait, let's leave it right there for now.
- Yep.
- Oh look at that lava lamp!
- Beautiful.
- That's actually really cool.
- [Dan] It's growing.
- Oh boy.
- Get the, kay we got this, we got this.
Ah we're good, we're good, we're good.
- Yeah.
You can do that in less than five minutes,
- See?
- Or you can make this in seven hours.
- So we left you guys off before we started this one
and we said the water in this was too dense
so Dan went on the alcohol run and-
- [Dan] I don't know how much Dan wants me to get
but hopefully that's enough.
- [Cashier] Are you making tennis ball cannons?
- [Dan] Am I making what?
- [Cashier] Tennis ball cannons.
- [Dan] Tennis ball cannons would be cool.
But no, a giant lava lamp.
- [Cashier] Aw, sweet.
- I bought every single 91% alcohol that Walmart had.
- We're gonna put it in, thin out the water,
and hopefully get that wax to sink
and then as it heats up it'll bubble to the top
and sink again and we'll have a monster lava lamp.
- [Shaun] Oh this is such a bad idea.
Wait in the sink, are you guys serious?
- Toilet? Toilet.
Feel pretty good about it now.
- [Shaun] What are you guys doing?
- It's not even hot.
- [Shaun] Alright, rubbing alcohol has been inserted.
Slightly hopeful.
Dan what do you think?
- Two outta ten.
- Dan?
- So you were a three, you went to a seven,
and now where you at?
- I'm at like a four.
(laughter)
- Three and a half.
- A nine. Cause it looks like so gross and cool
with all the lava.
(energetic music)
- [Shaun] So what's this switch though?
- [Dan] This switch turns the light on.
- [Shaun] Dan could we try
and be a little bit more specific?
- [Dan] When you flip it, the light turns on.
(laughter)
