Jory: (bored) Oh, hello, and welcome to "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?" I'm your host, Jory Caron.
It's not doing anything yet! This lava lamp just isn't going! It probably has to get heated up...
I just can't wait... Microwave!
*theme song plays*
Jory: Let's go roast some nuts!
Jory: And, as always, our Sharp microwave!
Jory: It's never a good idea, unless you want an explosion!
Jory: Stopping, stopping!
Jory: Safety is our number-one concern.
Jon: Wow! That's a lotta smoke!
Jory: The masks- they do nothing!
Jory: We also hide behind this big tin foil shield. Nobody likes roasted nuts!
Ezra: Is it a good idea?
Jory: (laughs) Absolutely!
Jory: Is it a good idea to microwave this?
Well, let's find out! Here at the Jory Caron Laboratory, as you can see, safety is of number-one concern.
Jon: What've you got there, Jory? Is it a lava lamp?
Yeah, it's the actual, you know, part of the lava lamp that I guess we'd classify as "lava"!
So, uh, safety is of number-one concern, we've got masks. We've got a giant tin foil shield. It's to protect our nuts- nobody likes roasted nuts!
Jory: We also have this fan, to circulate the otherwise stagnant air. And, as always, the Sharp carousel microwave.
It's basically the reason I live! I just wanna give it gifts, like a lava lamp! I know all of you have seen "Mythbusters." All of you know what a lava lamp will do...
Jory: So, we're actually going to take extra precaution, and we're gonna tape up the microwave a little bit. 'Cause as you saw with the snow globe, the microwave will just open!
Jon: And we don't want that with the lava!
And tin foil is pretty thin!
Jory: I'm not sure what I just put my finger in on the bottom, but it's wet!
Jon: Oh! That's probably the snow globe! Furby, I don't know- Magic 8 Ball? Maybe the air freshener? Maybe the pen? There's a whole number of things it could've been!
Jon: Congratulations! You're now contaminated!
Okay, I think that's sufficiently taped.
Jon: A little bit safer than usual?
It's not easy to open it right now, and that's good enough for me!
Jory: So, I'm gonna put this in there for, like, 20 minutes, just to make sure something happens!
*Jory hits Sandra*
Jory: As I think about it more, I'm thinking I probably could have put more tape on...
Jon: This thing's just going around in circles... (in hippie voice) It's far-out, man! We've got a lava lamp! We've got a microwave! Let's go on a trip, man!
Jon: Let's get some Grateful Dead music, man!
Jon: The lava lamp has not done anything, and we are now almost three minutes into the experiment.
Ryan: I keep slowly backing up!
Jory: As much as he's scared to leave, he doesn't want to! It's like Russian roulette! Like, three-quarters of the time...
*lava lamp explodes*
Jory: I turned away!
Jory: Why is it that, when something explodes, it always turns off the microwave?!
Ryan: That was awesome!
Jon: It's pouring out! Can you see that, guys?
Jon: The microwave's bleeding! Alright, masks on! We've gotta check this out!
Jon: Okay, so this is a lava lamp fresh outta the microwave!
Jory: And we don't know what it looks like in there, folks! WE don't know, YOU don't know! We're gonna find out at the same time!
Jon: Alright, there's a lotta smoke! I'm gonna put my mask on!
Jory: I'm gonna go get my gloves!
Jon: Wow! Whoa! That's like a war-zone! That was tremendous! There's still lava left in it, or whatever lava IS.
Jory: I'd taste it, but I fear for my life...
Jon: Wow! So, the last three experiments have really coated this thing in solid, vibrant colors!
Jory: Yes, this is definitely the most colorful season!
Jon: If you're looking for a quick way to paint the inside of your microwave, here's how!
Ryan: That really didn't actually explode. The cap just blew off.
Jory: Yeah, the cap popped off.
Jon: The cap blew off, and it just released all of its gooey goodness in seconds! What is this?! It's a pool! It's a cesspool!
Jory: Yeah... We're gonna need buckets to bail her out!
Jory: So, you may be wondering, is it a good idea to microwave a lava lamp? Yes, but only under three minutes!
Jory: Two minutes is okay! If you do it for two minutes, it'll heat it up, it'll be going in no time.
Jon: That third minute is really what will go from lava to THIS!
Yeah, also, if you're gonna do it, tape your microwave shut, please!
Jon: It didn't work! It came out!
Jory: It actually looks like lava lamp on the outside of a microwave now! So, that's it for "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?" I'm your host, Jory Caron.
