- [Dan] There it is.
You can see the water.
Splashy.
Yeah, there's definitely water in there.
What've we got here?
- Based on the eye it looks like a rock but,
Yeah, that's a Brazilian enhydro agate.
Judging solely on taste I'd say it's about
two million, five hundred and seventy nine thousand,
four hundred and twenty ...
Yep, twenty four years old.
- [Dan] So we've got a really old rock,
that has water inside of it.
And I think it's pretty safe to assume that
the water inside of it is about the same age as the rock.
- I'd say that's safe to assume.
Old water.
- [Dan] We want to pull the water out of this
so that Mitchell can taste test the oldest water
that we could get our hands on.
- That's gonna be good.
- [Dan] And then we're going to grow a culture of it
in this sheep blood agar
and then we'll also take some other cultures
of Mitchell's mouth and maybe
something else that he licked
just so we have some baseline comparisons.
Step one, we gotta drill a hole through it
to extract it.
(drill noise)
- [Voiceover] One eternity later.
- [Dan] Apparently quartz is a lot harder than we thought
This is plan B.
Oh!
We found the water.
Loosen the vice up,
we'll try not to dump this.
Get in there nice and deep.
- [Mitchell] And then what do we just ...
- [Dan] Yeah, just, yeah. Something like that.
- I'm a little worried.
- [Dan] What about?
- Death.
(Dan laughs)
- [Dan] Salty?
Kind of a stink to it.
(Dan laughs)
- [Dan] For these two,
we need to get a good swab of your mouth.
- Not the whole mouth, just the tongue.
- [Dan] See what we can grow on this one.
Okay and this is probably the grossest thing
that Mitchell has licked.
The gas pump handle.
- [Mitchell] Oh I've squished it into the blood.
- [Dan] We've got all three samples now.
Next step Mitchell's going to take these home
sit on them for a week to incubate them
And then we'll see if Mitchell will die.
- [Voiceover] One week later.
- [Dan] Results are in, first up
Mitchell's tongue.
What's your prediction on this one?
- My prediction is that one is for sure
going to be the nastiest.
- [Dan] Well, we have nothing to compare it to,
but that doesn't look that bad.
The gas pump,
that one,
Oh gosh.
- [Mitchell] Mushrooms growing in it.
- [Dan] (laughs)
Remember when you licked that?
- [Mitchell] Now I've got those antibodies built up in me.
- [Dan] (laughs) For what?
- [Mitchell] For gas pumps!
- [Dan] The rock water,
Let's see if Mitchell should be dead right now.
Hmm, oh there's definitely some stuff in there.
That really surprises me.
I thought for sure that water would have been sterile.
- [Mitchell] See here's what this goes to prove.
Because my mouth has so many antibodies
it has killed everything
that would have grown.
- [Dan] So when you licked these,
your mouth actually cleansed it.
That makes sense.
- Proven by science.
- [Dan] I guess the last thing we have to do
is just cut the rock.
(upbeat music)
And now we got a clean edge
where you can see inside.
It's all beautiful.
- [Mitchell] But not as beautiful as our Squarespace page
