- Good Mythical Summer.
- This is the last episode of Good Mythical Summer
and then we're gonna take a short break
and season 14 premieres on August 20th.
- Meanwhile, we're in Australia where it's winter
and we're on the Tour of Mythicality.
There are a few tickets left, go to TourOfMythicality.com
if you're in Australia.
- Yeah, but for today's episode, we have asked our friends
from ThreadBanger, Rob and Corinne, to step in and host,
do some crazy stuff with watermelons.
- Go.
- Go?
Where?
- Water we gonna do with all this melon?
- Let's talk about that.
(alarm clock ringing)
(light electronic music)
- Good Mythical Summer.
- Who are these non-Rhett and Link humans
sitting at the GMM desk?
Ah, well, I'm Corinne.
- And I'm Rob.
- And we have a DIY YouTube channel called ThreadBanger
and just like Rhett and Link, we are a married couple.
- Oh, burn.
And, actually, speaking of burns, you know what soothes
a spicy burn such as that on a hot day such as this?
A cool refreshing watermelon.
- Watermelons are all the rage right now.
People on Pinterest and YouTube and food blogs
are hacking them up, carving them,
and making ketchup out of them.
- Ridiculous. - Ew.
So we wanted to use our time with the Mythical beast
to present some of our own Mythical watermelon hacks.
It's time for
♪ Whatta melon, whatta melon, whatta melon ♪
♪ Whatta mighty good melon ♪
♪ Mighty mighty good melon ♪
♪ Say it again now ♪
So one of the watermelon hacks that you see around
on the internet involve transforming a watermelon
into something else entirely.
On ThreadBanger, we've made a tequila melon,
a watermelon cake, which is practically
just a watermelon with frosting all over it.
- But obviously watermelon and cake frosting
is gonna be delicious.
Since this is GMM, we wanna try some less conventional
flavors combinations that get a little more creative
with this marvelous melon.
Let's get started, shall we?
(light hip hop music)
- This, my friends, is a watermelon pizza.
Better yet, we came up with a really fancy name for it,
the pizza melon.
- Wow, that's deep.
- Recipes exist on the internet for watermelon pizza
but if you've ever seen them, it's just like a circle
of watermelon with a bunch of berries and flowers
and crap on 'em.
Yeah, this watermelon pizza uses a watermelon
as the actual crust and then it's topped with marinara,
cheese, pepperonis, all of the pizza toppings
one could hope for.
- I'm terrified.
- It looks good, but again.
- It smells really good.
- I would imagine.
- And I haven't had breakfast yet so I'm used to eating
pizza for breakfast so this works perfectly for me.
- Are you gonna do it or am I gonna do it?
- I don't know.
- I don't know how, since you've got
the pizza hankering, go for it.
- Yeah, I'm glad I have this because Rob, no.
You need to put that down.
- You just do a swift little chop.
- No, I'm scared.
I think the pizza cutter's gonna work.
- I don't think this is gonna.
- [Corinne] No, you're right.
No, okay, go.
I'm gonna chop my finger off.
- [Rob] There we go.
- Okay, see, messing it up already.
- Here, just move over.
- Oh God, terrifying.
- You should get back a little bit.
- Yeah, I know.
- Okay, here we go. - No, don't do that.
You're gonna get pizza stuff all over me.
- Let go.
Huh?
There we go.
- Alright, much better.
- Sorry about that.
- See?
I'm glad I wore a red shirt.
No, no.
- Oh, I'm just getting all sorts of pizza juice
all over the place. - You got it all over me.
- Alright, we got it, we got it.
Look at that.
- I'm very excited about this.
Alright, maybe I'll feed you.
- I don't, who came up with this?
- This is warm watermelon, too,
and that's kinda weird, right?
- You wanna like cheers or something?
- I guess so, yeah, cheers.
Here, let's give them a little bite first.
Okay, yeah, mmm, tasty.
Hmmm, uh-uh.
This is wrong.
On many levels.
- This tastes like a fruity Chuck E. Cheese nightmare.
- Mhm.
- But at the same time, the mouth experience
really is something to take note of.
- How's that going for you?
- I mean, it's kinda like, it's kinda delicious.
I'm not gonna lie.
- I'm going for another bite, you know, I am.
- If you can take a second bite of it
and appreciate it, I think that's where it comes in.
- Very juicy.
Do you think you would serve this at a summer barbecue?
- Probably not, no.
(light hip hop music)
- We pizzaed it, and now we're corndoggin' it.
We bring you,
- [Both] The corndogger melon.
- It's a tube of watermelon, skewered, dipped into corn
batter, just like you would a corndog, and deep fried.
Enjoy it with a little watermelon ketchup.
I'm nervous.
- Is this the point where we enjoy?
- I think so, I think we enjoy it now.
- Before you enjoy, what is watermelon ketchup?
What does that consist of?
- [Crew Member] It's mostly just watermelon and ketchup.
(crew laughing)
- You come up with that?
- [Crew Member] A little bit, yeah.
- Nice, good job.
- It's delicious.
Yeah, you could just drink this like a cocktail.
- Oh. - Isn't that good?
- Refreshing.
- Yeah.
- Good job over there.
- Here, cheers.
So, right off the bat, because it's watermelon
inside of something deep fried, it's very soggy.
And unappealing looking, for sure.
And feeling.
- Alright.
Here, cheers.
- Oh yeah, cheers.
This is just very odd.
Very odd.
- I mean, this is demonetized right here, right?
- This is the thumbnail.
Nope.
Oh God.
I don't like that.
Where's the trash can?
- Well, no, here's the breakdown.
I'm surprised that a water logged piece of fruit
could survive in the fryer.
I understand that the blanket of corn dog on it,
which I enjoy, however, the combination is just as gross
as you would imagine it.
(light hip hop music)
Now a lot of people on the internet, they're turning
watermelons into kegs.
We love kegs but kegs are stationary
and we are always on the move.
That's why we've converted our watermelon alcohol dispenser
into an easy to use helmet.
I would like to present to you the future,
the watermelon margarita helmet.
Oh yeah, yeah, no, actually, as you can see,
this is just a hollowed out watermelon
with the juice left in there, plopped on top
of a BMX helmet and plugged with a straw somewhere, here.
- Yeah.
- And then to fill them up, I think we're gonna
get some assistance, uh Alex, Josh.
(fingers snapping)
- You're leaking already.
- I'm already leaking.
Oh goodness.
Its dripping down my neck.
(crew laughing)
Now it's in the bra.
- Okay, oh, you better start drinking then.
- Wait, do you guys want salt?
- Oh yes, definitely, we need salt.
- Oh God, oh God.
That was just in your pocket?
- Wait, did you just Salt Bae me?
Oh, that was awesome.
- Here we go.
You gotta cheers.
Oh wait.
- Wait.
Cheers the, yeah.
- Yeah, there you go.
Whoa, whoa.
Okay, okay, alright.
We gotta mix it up a little though, don't we?
- Oh yeah.
- You gotta give a little shake.
(crew laughing)
Oh, there it is, there it is.
Alright, shake and enjoy.
(Corinne laughing)
- Oh, I thought you said that was iced tea you were
putting in the fake tequila bottles.
- That's real tequila.
- Yep.
- That's definitely real tequila.
(Rob coughing)
- Oh God.
- It's delicious though, you guys did a really good job.
- How long is this segment?
(crew laughing)
Oh, there we go.
- It's fast, it comes out fast.
You don't really, this is like a beer bong.
But with tequila.
- Demonetized.
- Much more dangerous.
What do you think?
- It's uh--
- It's delicious.
I highly recommend this.
- I'm not gonna lie, it's 11 o'clock in the morning,
guys, we're shooting this episode rather--
(liquid splashing)
- Oh.
(crew laughing)
Less talking, more drinking.
- Um, how much longer do we have of this thing
'cause I'm feeling the buzz.
- I'm worried for you.
- For real, no, I'm getting real sick here.
(Corinne laughing)
(Rob burping)
Oh, it's in my eye.
It's in my eye.
(light hip hop music)
- Finally, dessert.
An experience we're calling watermelon smash sorbet.
This here is a regular old watermelon with the peel removed.
We drilled a couple holes in it
to help with the freezing process.
We're gonna place it into this here bucket
and then add some liquid nitrogen.
(watermelon falling)
- Jesus.
By the way, you've got to be very careful
when handling the liquid nitrogen, hence gloves,
goggles here, you know we say safety third.
And if you're going to try this at home,
you may as well just hire yourself a professional
to do it like this guy.
Simon, how are you?
- Good, thanks.
- He's gonna be our professional because we obviously
are not professionals.
- No, no, I would suggest step away.
- Yeah, I definitely want to step far, far away.
Oh my goodness.
- Ah, look at that hose.
- I'm scared.
(liquid nitrogen blowing)
Is it okay to breathe this in?
Will it freeze my lungs?
- This is actually just condensation.
The actual gasses that this lets off,
you can't actually see.
- What's the temperature that we're going for?
- Well, liquid nitrogen's about
negative 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Wow.
- So, if you were to put your finger on the end of this
and we pulled this off,
it would pull your skin with it.
- Oh, that's pleasant.
- This is some like Bill Nye Science Guy stuff.
I feel like B-Sauce.
- As you can see, it's--
- We're definitely sciencing right now.
- Sciencing my butt off.
- Alright, I think it's ready guys.
- Alright, it's frozen.
Rob, why don't you get up on that ladder and drop it?
- That's smart after all the tequila.
- [Corinne] Yeah.
- Alright.
- I'm worried for you.
- I'm worried for myself, so.
- I'm worried for all of us.
- Oh yeah, here we go.
You got the spoons and the cups over there, right?
- Yeah, we're ready.
- Alright, can I get a countdown?
A watermelon sorbet smash countdown?
- Okay, ready?
Three, two, one.
(watermelon smashing)
- Nice. - Nice work.
- Alright, grab the bowls, grab the spoons.
Everybody dig in.
- Gotta get these.
- Nice.
The key is this tray here to get it pretty fast.
- I think we should let Simon try the first bite.
- [Simon] I think it's kinda hard to even get on a ladle.
There you go, that's the perfect piece.
- Yeah, that's beautiful.
It looks good here.
- There's only enough for two.
- Oh no Simon, I'll feed you.
- No, no, it's alright.
- Yeah, it's perfect.
- [Simon] Try the little piece.
- Yeah, that might actually fit into my mouth.
- [Rob] This looks pretty refreshing.
- I don't know, I bet you can.
- Yeah go for it.
Oh no, that looks like a teeth.
Oh, ah, I'm scared for everyone.
- [Simon] Call my dentist.
Oh, it's actually delicious.
It's kinda sticking to your lips though.
- It doesn't taste good.
- [Simon] Is that A Christmas Story, something like that?
(Rob groaning)
- No.
- I'm good.
It's just like an ice pop.
- Oh God, my teeth are all still there.
- Are you sure, I think I see one missing.
Oh, no, you're good.
- Okay.
There's a small layer of like my tongue membrane cells
on top that have disappeared.
- All the dentin's gone.
- Yeah, it got taken away with it.
But it's delicious, it's refreshing.
- And it broke like ice.
- Are my lips bleeding?
- Mhm.
- I'd say if you're using this recipe for a family barbecue,
just make sure you have a solid insurance policy.
- You need a Simon, you need Simon to come over
to your barbecue, hey you wanna go to a barbecue later?
- Sure.
We got a lot of liquid nitrogen left over.
- Pop this in your Corolla and come on over.
- Oh, that's a good piece.
- Yeah, it's a good one.
- Well, that was delicious.
- Amazing.
