- [Mitchell] Is that your new project car over there?
- That's Mr. Bean's car.
- Two weeks ago we founded a Patreon group
for the Waterjet Channel and they have made
their first major decision.
And that is.
- Mail time.
- They wanted to resurrect the mail times
and this is good timing because we just got a new mail time.
And this box looks like it's impervious to utility knives,
so I think you're gonna have to lick this one open.
Okay.
Good thing we know how to follow instructions.
- I almost thought there wasn't a note.
"Hey guys, this is a lava bomb.
"It's a volcanic rock when molten lava
"is launched from the volcano and cools in midair.
"I wonder what's inside."
- [Mitchell] Of a lava bomb?
He sent us a bomb.
- He mailed a bomb?
- [Mitchell] He mailed a bomb.
- From Hawaii?
- [Mitchell] Yes.
Ooh.
It's got, it has cobwebs on it?
- [Dan] I think that's belly button lint.
- [Mitchell] So this is when molten lava
shoots out of a volcano and it goes really high
and then as it's coming down it cools
into kind of like a semi tear drop shape.
And then that lands on the ground cool--
- Or on your shin.
- [Mitchell] Or on somebody's shin.
And then somebody like, what was his name?
- He didn't have a name.
- [Mitchell] Nameless finds this on the ground
and then they send it to us.
That's cool.
You know what we need to do to it.
What we've done to almost every other rock?
- Batarang.
- [Mitchell] Batarang it up.
(soft music)
I think it's gonna be packed with explosives.
And it's...
- [Dan] Looks like obsidian.
- [Mitchell] Black.
I think it's actually basalt.
- Mitchell, don't touch me.
- [Mitchell] It's got maybe a couple small voids in it,
but that looks like it's pretty solid basalt.
Okay, next step is we gotta do another cut
and cut a slab and then we can get a Batarang out of that.
(soft music)
I was not gonna record after this cut
but we hit something hard.
And it sputtered a little bit
and it's that thing right there.
And it looks diamond-like.
I don't know, there's only one way
to figure out what that actually is, though.
- Pretty sure that's a diamond.
- [Mitchell] It's a diamond?
So...
Oh, you just broke it.
- [Dan] Yeah, it broke, okay.
It's a bomb, all right?
- We're gonna have to make a real small Batarang then.
Okay, we wanted the diamond to be inside the Batarang
so now it's just gonna be tiny.
(soft music)
- [Dan] Oo, got it.
- And there it is, the diamond stayed in the middle
and we didn't lose it into the tank.
It's kind of cool.
And now thanks to our Patreon supporters,
we will be giving away the diamond encrusted Batarang
to one of them.
It's not too late if you want an opportunity to win this,
you can, we'll announce the winner in like a week.
Yeah?
So if you join Patreon before then,
you will be entered into the drawing
and you'll get your face on Mitchell's Humvee.
So just, all kinds of perks.
- Perks.
[ Man] Perks.
We texted a picture of this to Cody from Cody's Lab.
What is his visual analysis of a blurry picture?
- Cody's visual analysis of the best blurry picture
my phone could produce was that it's feldspar.
But he didn't like it so I'm still sticking with diamond.
- [Mitchell] Okay, and, yeah, what does Cody know anyway?
There's no way that can't be diamond.
Bling bling.
