- What happens when you microwave stuff 100 times?
- Let's talk about that.
(funky electronic music)
Good Mythical Morning!
- Microwaves, little magic boxes
that the internet loves to make big conspiracies about.
- You're magic.
- Now what's the most common conspiracy theory
about a microwave that you have familiarized yourself with?
- Staring at it will make you go blind.
- You need to read more microwave conspiracy theories,
because that is not one of them that I've heard of.
According to what I've clicked on,
your microwave is spying on you,
turning your oatmeal radioactive,
causing a faint clicking in your ear,
and conspiring with your Keurig
to question your fashion sense when you're not around!
- Huh.
- But that's not what this episode is about.
We just want to answer the question
that Google couldn't help us with,
what happens when you microwave stuff up to 100 times?
It's time for 100 Times Later... Microwave Edition.
- A few weeks back we posted a bunch
of head to head match ups on Twitter and Instagram
and by the way, you should follow us @mythical
if you want to be a part of episodes like this,
if you're not already. - Yeah, come on!
- So you can participate in polls like that.
So you voted on which items
you'd rather see microwaved up to 100 times,
and then guess what we did?
Yep, we took the items you voted on
and we microwaved them up to 100 times.
- And playing as a team,
we're gonna guess what items the majority of you voted for,
trying to tap into your sick and twisted
Mythical Beastie minds. - You sick and twisted person.
- Then the correct answer's gonna be revealed
and we'll get to see firsthand what happened
to the overly nuked item.
If we guess the majority of the answers right,
we get a glorious macro wave (wheezes) from David Hill.
- Yes, David Hill's gonna make an appearance!
If we earn it.
- Okay, all right.
- Oh, you were supposed to tell them,
don't try this at home.
- Don't try this at home.
(dramatic music)
Okay, getting started with a mug cake
versus a cup of noodles.
Now, this mug cake-
- Yeah, we went through a stint
where those were coming out of the microwave a lot,
and I think that's what people voted on.
- Did you ever try them in your house?
- Actually no, I never tried it 'cause I don't like cake.
- I strongly disagree.
And here's why, even though I think this-
- You think people chose the cup of noodles?
- Only because it is so ubiquitous and it's so...
Like I think that people would just assume
that a cake would just be,
oh, it's just gonna get burnt or something.
It's in a mug.
Noodles is like, of course you're gonna pick ramen.
Like, what's gonna happen to ramen noodles?
It's the quintessential microwave thing.
It just feels like it's the more obvious answer.
- All right, let's just see
if you're right. - I don't know.
- Fan favorite, Cup Noodle.
- Ah! - Yes!
You were right, Rhett.
People love it.
Mad Dog getting in on that microwave action.
- [Rhett] Five times.
- [Link] Three minutes a pop.
15 times. - Oh, what?
Oh, look what's happening to the styrofoam!
- Smells like Christmas.
- So there was no need to go to 100 because of,
through safety protocols of monitoring,
or if it ceases to change...
- Nothing new is happening.
- Or if it's about to, you know,
set the whole place on fire.
But let's see. - Let's see.
I can't open that microwave.
- I'ma take the whole thing out.
Look at this.
You know what, let's get rid of that loser.
Put that right there.
- [Rhett] Oh wow, okay, first of all, look.
- [Link] Burnt styrofoam.
- [Rhett] Also right through the bottom.
- [Link] There is no bottom.
- So I can literally just poke this through.
And this is what happened
to the noodles. - What happened to the bottom?
- [Rhett] Okay, here we go.
Oh, yep, it's coming through.
- I got a little bit of this.
(Rhett exclaims)
- You know, this is a trust exercise,
you shouldn't jerk your hand away
when I put scissors around your pinky.
- Well, you shouldn't put scissors around my pinky.
- Well, of course, but when I do, Rhett,
don't jerk your hand away.
- Okay, so I stuck that in there-
- That didn't work?
- And now I'm gonna get this in there like this,
like I'm splitting a log.
- It's probably just more of the same, I'm guessing.
Oh my gosh, look at how burnt that is.
- So it burnt all the way. - It's a work of art.
- Completely decimated halfway down.
It's actually like that, so that's upside down.
It's kind of an ombre thing.
- But I'm sure it tastes the same.
(Link crunching)
(dramatic music)
Okay, looks like we've put Slim Jims
up against Hot Pockets for you to vote on.
- I'm a little bit torn on this one.
I mean, for the same reason
that the ramen was a good choice for the first one,
it seems like the Hot Pocket would be.
- [Link] Yeah.
- What I'd really like to see is,
you remember Hezekiah who worked for us for a while.
He would put a Hot Pocket, frozen, in his pocket,
in his cargo pants in the morning,
and then eat it at lunch,
after it had warmed up due to his body heat.
Somebody write down,
we're gonna bring that back. - Hey, Hezekiah.
Hope you're well.
- We're gonna put one of these
in his pocket 100 days. - Well nourished.
- 100 days in a row and see what happens.
- All right, so let's say it's the Hot Pocket.
- Okay.
- Were we right, Lucas?
- The fans chose the Hot Pocket.
- Yeah they did. - Yes!
I'm glad, guys.
♪ 700 watts, 30 seconds ♪
♪ Gonna see the Hot Pocket go crazy ♪
- [Rhett] You really got something going here.
- [Link] Nothing yet.
- [Rhett] Okay.
10 times.
Okay, a little steam.
Get rid of that.
- [Link] That sleeve...
Yeah, that's gonna start making it smoke.
I don't know if that was steam or smoke.
Now it's smoking with-
- [Rhett] And now we've got-
- That's a lot of smoke!
- We've got combustion after 17 times.
- That was not steam.
- [Lucas] No, that was smoke.
- Totally smoke. - That set on fire.
- I mean, you're wearing like ventilator type situations,
right, you're good to go.
- I didn't know that a Hot Pocket could catch fire
in a microwave.
- Oh my goodness.
Can I have this one on my side this time?
- [Rhett] Yeah, I bet you can cut it.
- Listen to this.
(Link tapping)
- Hard.
- It's like a cracker.
(Hot Pocket banging)
- What if you just break it like a brick?
- That was effortless.
(Rhett laughs)
This is how charcoal is made.
You can freaking make charcoal-
- Smell that!
- Out of Hot Pockets.
- So what flavor of Hot Pocket was this?
- [Lucas] Chicken something.
- Okay, so whatever it was,
chicken something. - Burnt chicken.
Oh my gosh.
- But if you ever had any doubts
whether a microwave cooked from the inside out,
look at that.
I mean, this bread...
I mean, it literally is combusting something
on the inside.
- Because of those really, really little waves.
- Microwaves, you might call them.
- Yes.
(dramatic music)
- All right, now we've got a ball of rubber bands.
- Versus a vinyl record.
This is an old school Italian record.
It's that thicker vinyl.
I think it would melt and I would wanna see that,
but of course I'm intrigued by everything.
- Just because this is already a ball,
and that's got so much warping that can take place,
I'd like to see all that happen and process,
that's my guess.
- We're saying the record.
Mad Dog?
- They picked
the rubber band ball. (Rhett and Link exclaiming)
- [Link] All right, I'm okay with this.
Still curious.
It's an a ramekin,
because you don't know if it's gonna bleed or...
Nothing so far.
- [Rhett] 20 times and it's still
completely intact. - Nothing guys.
- [Rhett] Oh, I saw one break.
Okay, it's collapsing a little bit.
- [Link] Is it melting?
- [Rhett] Yes, the bottom is burning and melting.
66 times.
- This is rubber and I am glue.
Poetry is not my strong suit.
- I was nothing but confused.
All right, so we get rid of this.
And then we take this.
- [Rhett] Oh, it broke the glass.
Careful.
- I thought you meant my record broke.
- Careful, Neal.
- Busted the ramekin. - Oh my goodness.
- [Lucas] That's a Pyrex ramekin.
- Pyrex? - A Pyrex ramekin.
- [Rhett] Got so hot that it cracked.
- And how many times did we hit this thing?
- 66.
Let's see what happened here.
- [Link] Don't cut yourself.
Or if you are, don't cut me as well.
- [Rhett] What is happening under there?
- [Link] That is a nasty, mostly green-
- It stinks, man.
I mean, what temperature do you have to get Pyrex to
to break it?
- Can I smell of that?
Oh!
- This is awful.
I'm glad you had a gas mask on.
- I mean-
- [Rhett] Take a bite of that.
- I feel like I just wanna mush my finger into it,
but then it might-
- It might never ever come out.
- Yeah.
(dramatic music)
- Now we're comparing apples-
- To oranges.
- That's right.
- Oh, you really lobbed that one for me.
(Rhett laughs)
I wasn't even ready.
I was like (exclaims). - Two oranges.
- Are you okay, dude?
- This is like the classic analogy.
Well, that's apple to oranges,
oranges to apples.
- You would need like a giant Chase
to rip this apart.
- Maybe Big Deborah could do it.
- "Good Mythical More?"
"Good Mythical More?"
- I think Big Deborah could do it.
- I think that I would vote for the orange.
I just feel like-
- There's more going on with an orange.
- In the inside of the orange-
- Orange skin is more exciting.
- Do you think that they voted for that too?
- Yeah. - I think so.
We think you voted orange.
Mad Dog!
- Orange you glad
they picked orange? - Yeah, you did!
(upbeat music)
- [Link] Boy, this royalty free music is catchy.
- [Rhett] Whoa, whoa, look at that,
look, we've got orange juice coming out.
- [Link] It's a little too early to get excited.
This thing is gonna cook, man.
- [Rhett] I think this is gonna be a big one.
- This one's for you, Florida Gators.
- So it didn't seem like anything happened.
- Oh, okay.
- 37?
- [Rhett] What made you stop this one?
- [Lucas] The hotness.
(Rhett laughs)
- Like, it was so hot,
that you felt like you could not press on?
- [Lucas] Like steaming the inside of it.
- [Link] It's really mushy.
- Do you need me to break out my scalpel?
- Yeah, let's scalpel this thing.
You wanna just do it right there on that?
- [Rhett] You can have the apple.
Well, eventually we'll just get through...
Oh, it's like-
- [Link] So soft.
- [Rhett] Super soft.
Almost like super soft leather.
- It's like koala nuts.
Remember when we went to Australia
and every where we go they were selling
koala nut key chains?
Am I wrong about that?
- Like, testicles?
- Yeah, like nut sacks of koalas as a souvenir.
- It was kangaroo.
The koalas are like, I think, a little bit endangered.
I don't think they're taking the nuts off of koalas.
- Kangaroo makes more sense.
- It was kangaroo nuts, yeah.
- And this is about the size of some kangaroo nuts.
- Here we go, let me push on this.
- [Link] Oh yeah, that looks like the inside of a Tauntaun.
Let me put my finger in there.
- [Rhett] How's it feel?
Nice and soft?
- I recommend it.
I recommend a gloved finger.
Do it! - I mean, the skin is-
- Do it!
There you go.
See, okay. - Oh, that's nice.
- Say no more.
- The skin is so nice.
I feel like you could do something with that.
- Straight off a kangaroo's hang-y area.
(dramatic music)
- All right, this round's a little different.
- Uh huh.
- The crew really, really wanted to vote on something.
They love to vote.
They just are big voters.
- It's great.
- And so we gave them the option to vote on two losers
from the previous round.
- And I'm glad because I also wanted to see both of these.
At least we get to see one.
Slim Jim and the record. - The Slim Jim and the vinyl.
- Which I broke when I threw down
the previous round. - Oh, that's sad.
I was planning on listening to that.
- [Link] Yeah, these old ones are very brittle.
I think that's why they changed them.
- Just give me that little triangle
and I'll listen to that.
I go back to the record for the same reasons.
- I wanna see the meat stick.
- [Rhett] Okay, well if that's how you feel,
if you feel strongly about it.
- 'Cause we went with you for the other one,
for the cup of noodles, so now you gotta trust me on one.
- All right, we're going with the meat stick.
- Slim Jim.
- They picked vinyl.
- [Link] Oh, shoot!
(Rhett laughs)
(funky music)
All right, Rhett, I'm sorry.
Well, we know it's brittle.
So is it less melt-y?
- [Rhett] I think it's gonna melt.
- [Link] Oh, there it goes.
- [Rhett] Whoa, look at that thing!
- [Link] Draping.
- Mad Dog says, woof.
- You gotta a catchphrase. - So now you're just saying
something, anything. - That's my thing.
- Just what is he gonna say next
that doesn't pertain to anything.
Oh my goodness.
Now this is a Etsy project waiting to happen.
- Do you want to eat out of a record?
- And check that out.
- Oh, it completely just...
Where the sticker was.
Can you get it off of the bowl or is it fused?
- [Link] Scalpel.
What is this, clamper.
- I'm afraid this whole thing's just gonna break.
- Yeah, that's pretty cool
but it doesn't smell great.
Smell of that.
Check that out.
Now this is a cool thing.
The center of an old record that's been...
Aw.
(dramatic music)
- Okay, giant gummy bear.
- That is a big puppy versus-
- [Rhett] Not a puppy, it's a bear.
- A giant gummy worm.
Man, this thing has to weigh at least six pounds.
- The bear has more that can happen with it.
The worm is longer though.
- Yeah, I'm voting for the bear, personally.
Did you guys agree?
- I wanna bite of that ear so bad.
- Let's go with the bear.
And it all comes down to this.
Put it up there.
- Can I bite the bear?
Can I bite the ear?
- Yeah.
Oh.
Is that good?
You're voting for this, right?
- I love gummy stuff.
- Oh, gosh, this one's heavier than that.
All right, Mad Dog-
- [Rhett] Are those boobies or arms?
- I'm gonna have to just do that.
(Mythical Crew laughs)
This is for the David Hill macro wave.
Were we right?
- And the winner is giant gummy bear.
(upbeat music)
- [Link] How many times?
30 seconds a pop.
- [Rhett] Oh, wow.
- [Link] Yes, go for it, Lucas.
- Oh, slowly melting. - Getting smaller.
50 times.
- 70. - Yes!
- [Rhett] Okay, I think I know where this is headed.
- [Link] 100 times!
- You did good.
I'm a proud father.
- You're a proud father that just melted your child.
All right, here we go.
- [Link] Whoa, it's coated the entire bottom.
- [Rhett] It made Jello.
- Get out of my way, chair!
- [Rhett] We gotta get leverage.
- We got a gummy bear to get out of here.
- Oh hold on, that's stuck.
The whole thing is stuck. - Yes, yes, yes.
Yes, yes.
- It's coming off! - It's glass.
It's glass.
Cue dad grunting montage.
- It's stuck and I'm (groaning).
(beep)
(Rhett and Link grunting)
(beep)
- I don't want to rip this up
and then like cut an artery.
- I mean, we already said
we're gonna die on the show together.
- [Link] Not today.
- Okay.
All right.
- We've completely ruined a microwave.
Shout out to the Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This guys
OG YouTubers.
They never microwaved stuff 100 times,
as far as I know.
Jonathan and Jory, - They microwaved
a lot of stuff. - Hope you guys are well.
This is in your honor.
- All right, we got that one right,
which means that we get that very special macro wave
from none other than Mr. David Hill.
Here he comes.
- Hey, good morning, Rhett and Link.
- Hey, good morning.
- Got the macro wave.
(Mythical Crew laughs)
- Isn't that special?
- Man, it's been too long
since David Hill did something like this. (laughs)
- That is great.
And it ain't over, man.
It keeps going.
- It's still going, I'm taking ever bit of it in.
- Don't stop, keep going.
Unless you wanna stop, you keep going.
I don't wanna be the one to tell you to stop.
- I would say in the next five seconds,
you should probably stop.
- But only if you want to stop.
(Mythical Crew laughs)
This is up to you, David Hill.
- No more than seven more seconds.
Okay, there we go.
- Do it as much as you want to do.
Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
- You know what time it is.
- I'm Logan from Sacramento, California,
and it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality.
(GMM theme music)
- Yes, Logan! - Nice!
Tum drum, I like that thing.
- That is a good time.
