- Today we sculpt each other out of ice. - Let's talk about that!

- Gooooooood Mythical Morning! - When you're an internetainer, you gotta
prepare for the day when nobody cares enough anymore to click on your face.
- It's what you do. - So, as you guys know, we've been going
out into the world to search for what else we might be good at with a little help
- from our friends at - (both) Geico!
- It's time to take another field trip. - This week we decided we should try
to be cool for once and explore the world of ice sculpting. It's time for--
- (both) The Backup Plan. - ♪ (dramatic music) ♪
(Rhett over epic music) Have you ever looked at a piece of ice and thought,
"There's a swan in there waiting to fly out."
(Link) No, I usually just submerge it in a beverage. But that changed when
I met Roland and Dan from a business that's named exactly what they do:
- Carving Ice. - ♪ (music swells and ends) ♪
(Link) So, you are the ice sculpture master?
Yeah, we're actually looking forward to having you guys in the freezer today.
- You're gonna put us on ice. - Basically, yeah.
Are you gonna do that all day? You gonna do ice puns?
Now, who is this fine feline over here? Check this out. This is a lion.
- I think it's a tiger. - Oh, is it?
When somebody says, "I need this tiger to look like a tiger," they call us.
And when you need a tiger to look like a lion, you call Link.
- Yeah! - So, basically, we make internet videos.
That's what we do. I don't know much else. I don't know the difference between a lion
and a tiger, but if our job falls through, we want to know we can sculpt ice.
Well you came to the right place.
- To the Cave! You call it the Cave? - Ah, yeah, the Ice Cave. C'mon in.
(Rhett) Yeah, let's call it the Ice Cave today.
- ♪ (dramatic music) ♪ - Wooo hoo hoo hoooo!
- (Roland) Welcome to the Ice Room! - It's cold in here!
- (Rhett) It was really cold in there. - (Link) 18 degrees, to be exact.
(Rhett) We bundled up and returned to the Ice Cave.
It is frigid in here, man!
These two wonderful weapons I'm gonna show you guys. These are really cool.
You guys could film a horror movie in here!
- Aw, yeah! Workin' up a sweat! - A sweat that's immediately freezing!
- Okay. - Oh, wow.
- Whoa, look! - (Roland) Yeah, they're very sharp.
I'm a natural! Did you see how easily I did that? It's like butter!
You ever sculpt with butter? 'Cause that's the one thing that I actually thought
about getting into at one time. Is there something special about the ice?
Is it like-- you use a different kind of water?
We use an RO system. So, reverse osmosis in the water. It's better than bottled water.
- What if I lick it? - Ooh, ooh!
- I can taste the reverse osmosis, Link! - (Roland laughs)
- (drills) - (Link) Oh! Whoah!
(Rhett laughs)
(drills)
- (Rhett) You spelled... "Limk!" - Link, that's my name.
- "Limk." - No, that's an N.
It's cursive; don't you know cursive?
(drills)
- (drills) - (Rhett laughs)
Okay, all right, there we go.
(grinds)
Oh, man!
- It's like a snow cone. - (Link) Look at that!
Do you ever add flavor? You should look into that.
(grinds) Rrrrah! Rrrrah! Rrrrrah! Hadouken! Hadouken!
This guy is... a little accident prone.
(saws)
It's, ah... it's not easy!
- And then... we lick it. - You can lick it, yeah.
That's the finishing touch.
Yeah, that's how you smooth it out.
We're dead!
I can't feel my toes or my fingertips or my nose, but I think there's, like,
icicles forming inside of there. Am I gonna lose a toe?
As long as he doesn't have the chainsaw, you'll be okay.
- Good point. - (Rhett) So we've seen the techniques,
but I wanna see what you're capable of. We have a mascot for the show;
- it's a cockatrice. - A mythical chicken, basically.
- A fire-breathing chicken. - I think the chicken would be really cool.
Yeah, I think we can knock that out for you guys.
- A cockatrice is in here. - It's in here.
- Just gotta find it! - I will find that cockatrice.
- (Rhett) Whoah, okay. All right. - (all grunting)
- (Rhett) Oh, whoa! - (Roland) Oh, oh, oh, that's what we
- didn't want. Now lift, lift, lift... - (Rhett) Yeah! YEAH!
(Link) You ever made a mythical rooster before?
(sighs) You know what? This will be my first.
(saws)
(Roland) Watch your hands.
(saws)
(Rhett) That's Belvedere, Link.
(Rhett and Link) Whoa, oh!
(Roland) Yep.
(Rhett) Whoa, Link!
(Roland) All right, that's enough.
(saws)
(Link) Seeing Roland turn a simple block of ice into Belvedere inspired us to get
our hands dirty. And by "dirty," I mean cold.
- (Rhett) Whoa! - (Dan) Ta-da!
- Amazing, dude! - (Rhett) Belvedere has come to life!
- Could not have done it without you guys. - (Link) Watching.
(Rhett) It was time for us to embark on the Ultimate Ice Bust Battle.
- (Link) Now it's our turn. - Too bad I don't look more like a chicken.
- That would be helpful. - We have devised a challenge!
Each one of us has a block of ice and within that block of ice there is a
sculpture of each one of us. Inside my block of ice, there is a sculpture of Link,
and inside of Link's block of ice, there is a sculpture of me.
What's at stake is being able to destroy the cockatrice.
(rooster crows)
And only one of us is gonna be able to do that by making the better bust.
- Let's get busted! - (Link) Let the challenge begin... now!
Can you take your toboggan off for just a second?
- No, man, it's too cold! - All right. I'm kinda starting with a...
an outline of Link as I see him. He looks a little like Darth Vader at this point.
You look like Gile, and I look like whoever that guy is from Mortal Kombat
with the symbol on his head.
(saws)
Dang, man, I need that chainsaw!
(Rhett saws) Yeah! Look at that, Link! You're gettin' it in the head, Link!
Yeah, Link! Take a look at that, Link! That's not you!
Let me see a little profile!
(Link) Turn sideways! Okay, okay.
(saws)
- (laughs triumphantly) - Hey, give me a turn with it!
YEAH, LINK!
(saws)
(grinds)
The eyebrows are key. So I know if I get the eyebrows and the nose right,
everything else will fall into place. (drills) This is so fun, Dan!
(saws)
♪ (epic music) ♪
- You still over there? - I think I'm done!
Lemme brush it off. Prepare the winner for its viewing.
I got something nice cooking over here. It looks like you got a Flintstone Vitamin
- cooking over there. - (laughs)
(Rhett) We each thought we had the better piece, but we needed a professional to
settle the score. We're gonna check out Link's first.
♪ (dramatic music) ♪
- I don't have any ears! - You never listen to me anyway.
(Rhett) I look like either a villager from Minecraft or an Easter Island statue.
I like what you did with the hair. The hair is-- whoops!
- What? C'mon, dude! - (laughs)
- (Dan) Looks like a Greek god. - Whoa, no, not a Greek god.
- Just a Greek dude. - (Rhett) And why am I crying?
Because you're gonna lose. All right, let's see the competition!
All right, let's go see what we got.
(Link) Just from the back, I can tell this is kind of a fail.
- What? Kind of a fail? - (laughs)
- It looks like a third grader drawing! - (Rhett) I mean, I captured a lot of your
characteristics! I got the wings, which you can't see right now but you got
some serious wings. I got the glasses, which are a signature feature, and I got
your very large Adam's Apple. Show 'em that Adam's Apple! You've been covering it
up all day, but he's got a very large Adam's Apple.
As it starts to melt, you picked up on the features that people are gonna
- catch on. - (Link) It's Velma from Scooby Doo!
I think you look like a futuristic George Washington. If, like, our country had been
- founded in the year 2075... - By Darth Vader, yes.
Okay, I think we figured it out. I really love this one, but I really really love
- that one. - (laughs) So that's it?
- You would be the victor. - I would be the victor!
- Absolutely. - Yes! Haha!
(Link) I won, and that means I get to destroy Belvedere by giving him a taste
of his own medicine: fire.

Well, if ice sculpture destruction was a job, maybe we would have a place there,
but I think we're gonna continue to be internetainers for the time being.

We've invented a card game for Halloween called Spook Off!
Uh oh.
(Rhett) In a world where spaghetti means fettucini.
(dramatically) In a world.... where spaghetti means fettucini.
(dramatically) One woman goes to her favorite Italian restaurant and orders
- the fettucini. - Lo and behold, she got spaghetti--
- What is she gonna do? - And she's like, "What? This is spaghetti!"
But then she's like, "No, I'm in a world where spaghetti means fettucini."
- "It all makes sense." - But she goes on a tirade inventing all

- Carnage. Destruction. Spaghetti. - (both) Fettucini.
