- It's gettin' hot in here.
- Let's talk about that.
(fun theme music)
(fire blazing)
Good Mythical Morning.
- For the last couple of months something very hot has been
circulating across the internet.
I'm talkin' about hot knives.
Now my son Lincoln asked me recently.
"Dad, why haven't you done hot knives,"
- Mhm.
- "On GMM?"
- Right. - And I said,
"Lincoln, first of all, do you think it's a good idea for me
"to be handling a knife?
"Much less, a hot knife on my show?"
- Right.
Not a great idea.
But what might be a good idea is if instead of heatin' up
knives, we heat up other stuff, how 'bout dat internet?
It's time for
If You Thought Hot Knives Were Cool, How 'Bout Other Stuff
That's Hot, is That Cool?
Now when I saw these hot knife videos the first thing I
wanted to see cut was cheese.
And then I thought, what tool is most often used to cut
cheese besides my butt?
A cheese grater.
- That's right, we're gonna make some cheesy nachos.
- Okay, now, based on past experience we're not letting Link
handle anything that makes heat or is very sharp.
(laughs)
So we're gonna let him hold the cheese.
- (laughing) Yeah.
- That could be like a euphemism for like, "Just let Link
"hold the cheese."
- I mean, what could go wrong, I'm just holding cheese.
(blow torch blazing)
Superheat it, brother.
- Whoa.
- It's melting.
Alright, we're good.
I think. - There we go.
Grate it! - Bring it over.
(sizzling) (laughs)
- [Rhett] Oh, push it Link.
Push it.
- I'm pushin'.
Move it around, man, we need to get all of these chips.
We gotta cheese the chips, man.
- [Rhett] Now it's just a
warm cheese grater. - Oh, man.
It smelled kinda burnt immediately.
- Now that's a Velveeta chunk so it's just melting as it
falls through there.
- Now, you could reheat at this point and keep going
but I'm ready to dig in.
- Now, we did a little research on this and it turns out
that when you superheat aluminum it releases a
lot of toxins.
(blowing) So you...
(laughs)
You definitely do not want to consume this.
I waited to time that perfectly
when it was in your mouth - Thank you.
- Because, the toxicity can induce some inhibition of
enzyme activity and protein synthesis.
So if that begins to happen I will be the first one to
let you know.
- (choking) How my enzymes feel inhibited.
(laughs)
A coat hanger.
That's right, we are gonna superheat this coat hanger
and then hang a shirt on it.
- Because why not?
- I don't know.
Let's heat 'em up!
(blow torches blazing)
Keep going, keep going, keep going, don't stop.
- You be the blower, Link.
- We got some tape on here, it's catching on fire.
(blow torches blazing)
It's lookin' pretty red hot.
- [Rhett] Couple more seconds.
- Rhett, go down a little bit.
Alright Rhett, bring it up now.
- [Rhett] Alright, ready?
- Three, two, one.
(laughing)
- [Crew Member] Oh!
- [Rhett] Okay.
Well.
- I didn't get it all the way on there but it
caught on fire.
(blowing)
I'll wear that later.
(whooshing) - Scissors.
Now I've always thought if we opened up a hair salon we
should call it Hot Scissors.
But I never thought that we should actually have hot
scissors until right now.
- Maybe it's a good idea.
- I know that cutting hair is a dream of yours.
- Yeah.
- And so we're gonna go on a limb and make an exception.
You get to hold the hot scissors.
- Thank you, Rhett.
- Yeah.
Now be very careful.
- I also got an extra sleeve if you wanna get in that.
- (laughs) No, I'm good.
Alright, let's bring in the blow torchers and heat
these scissors up.
(blow torches blazing)
- Three, two, one.
- Alright, superheated.
- Welcome to Hot Scissors, lady.
- [Link] Woo!
- Whoa, whoa!
It's comin' right off.
- Yeah it is.
You looking good, girl.
- [Rhett] These are extensions aren't they?
- Oh, look.
Just grab a big hunk and then just don't even cut.
Just push.
(crew laughs) - Oh.
Oh, wow - Look at this.
- Welcome to Hot Scissors where it's a breeze to...
- Oh it stinks!
- Cut your weave.
This is not real hair.
- Oh my goodness.
You can just push through it like...
- We should have masks on.
Oh look, she's got a nice little...
- She's got a bob.
- Now the ends, they're definitely...
Okay.
(crew laughs)
Alright.
- It's all mobile.
- She doesn't have any split ends anymore.
- She's got some burn ends.
- Some burnt ends.
- [Link] Kinda like barbecue (laughs).
Oh yeah. - Let me see if I can
just get in here and get a little bit.
- Yeah, you look good.
- Okay.
I wanna release - She's lookin' at you.
- Release that bang a little bit.
(laughing)
- Release the bang.
- Just release the bang.
You need to let your bangs release a little.
- It was really pleasurable how it just kind of went through
it without even having to cut. - Pleasurable may be too
strong of a word.
- Selfie!
Get in, Rhett.
- You're puttin' the freakin' scissors in...
- Oh.
- Right, again, you put the freakin' hot scissors right
next and said, "Get in for a selfie."
(laughing)
- Listen, you've still got hot scissors!
Alright, give 'em back to me.
- Selfie!
Just me.
(whooshing) Ice skates.
Okay, I got on my ice skates.
I'm in a compromised position.
- Yeah!
- And we've got an ice block down here.
My blades are gonna be heated.
Superheated.
And then I'm gonna stand, super-stand, on this ice block.
Let's see what happens.
- Alright, let's bring in the fire squad.
Guys, get in position.
- [Link] Oh, goodness.
- We're going eight handed on this one.
- Oh my word.
- Fire in the hole!
(laughs) (blow torches blazing)
That's exciting!
Now, your feet are gonna be on fire a little bit, Link.
That is just the fire retardant material catching on fire.
- Oh, we got some flames on my foot!
Blow it!
- Are your feet hot?
- No.
Blow it!
(blow torches blazing)
Theirs isn't lighting on fire.
It's the left foot.
Oh it's burnin' on.
Woo!
My feet stink.
Now my feet are starting to get a little warm.
Is that normal?
- Yeah!
- Blow it!
Blow it!
(laughs)
- You're like a king, man.
(laughs)
- This one's starting to get warm.
- You're like a king that gets his ice skates heated.
- Get those flames back.
Keep the flames back.
The more the flames come it starts...
This one not warm at all.
To my feet, I mean.
Well it is a little bit.
- [Rhett] How are we doin', man?
- [Crew Member] We're good, Rhett.
- Yeah, we're red hot.
- [Crew Member] Good.
- Alright.
Three,
two,
one.
Clear!
Alright.
Get 'em out.
(sizzling)
- [Link] (grunting) Okay.
I'm goin' up.
- Whoa!
- Alright.
Oh it stinks!
- Your left foot is smokin' and stinks so bad.
(crew laughs)
Oh, gosh.
(coughing) I think I'm gonna be sick.
Welcome to the ice skating
rink, kids. - My foot.
My foot's warm!
- Alright.
- Ah I got a warm foot.
- You ready to take this to the ice skating rink
down the street?
- I don't know.
- You'll be the hottest one there.
(gagging) (coughing)
Gosh, it stinks so bad.
- My foot's on fire.
Blow it, blow it, Mike!
Blow the foot!
(laughs)
- Okay.
You okay?
You good, you good?
