- Today, we ask the age-old question.
- Will it Slip 'N Slide?
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
- Good mythical summer!
- And happy Memorial Day.
We're back!
Did you miss us?
Because we missed you.
And if you couldn't tell by the cool summer vibes
that we're throwing out, it is summer time.
That means vacations, cookouts, and excruciating sunburn
everywhere on your body except for those two streaks
on the side of your head from where your sunglasses were.
- Ah.
If you wanna know what we've been up to so far this summer,
listen to Ear Biscuits, our podcast which comes out
in audio form every Monday, and in video form
the following Saturday on this channel, all summer long.
And one of the things we're doing this summer
is taking the Tour of Mythicality to Australia.
That's right.
We're gonna be, in July, in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane.
Are you ready for us?
Get tickets and info at tourofmythicality.com.
- But today, to kick off Good Mythical Summer,
we are focusing on the greatest summertime invention
of all time, the Slip 'N Slide.
And you might think it's impossible to squeeze
any more fun out of a long sheet of thin plastic
covered in water, but we beg to differ.
- Did you wheeze?
You were like (wheezing).
- Yeah.
(Link laughs)
I wheezed, man.
I wheeze when I get excited.
- Well, by the end of this video, we may be begging
for mercy because we're gonna be slip sliding
on some stuff that's never been slip slid on before.
It's time for--
- [Rhett And Link] Will it Slip 'N Slide?
- Most people Slip 'N Slide in their backyard.
- But we're not most people.
- This is a parking lot.
Most people cover their Slip 'N Slide in water.
- But we're not most people.
So we're not putting water on there.
We're putting various objects.
And we're starting with something that's got a reputation
for being very slippery, the banana peel.
- Yeah.
As you can see, we have covered these twice as long
as regulation Slip 'N Slides because we are lengthy men.
- Yup.
- In banana peels.
And I think it might work.
It's a little slippery.
They're all face down.
- I don't know.
It's just hitting me as we stand here over these
that we should have gotten children to do this.
- But we do not employ children.
And that is on the record.
Sorry, guys.
- [Rhett] I'm legitimately worried--
- [Link] I (mumbles) children.
- I'm legitimately worried about getting hurt.
I mean I do have on a puffy bathing suit and a rash guard,
but I don't think that's gonna keep me from injury.
- So you're gonna go,
you're gonna pace yourself?
- I'm going hard, but Rhett hard, which is--
- Kinda limp, got it.
- Not as hard as some people. (chuckles)
- Well, I'm glad you at least understand now.
Oh, gosh, okay.
Now slide on the yellow part.
- Yeah, not the green.
- Three, two, one, go!
(upbeat music)
(crew applauds)
That hurt a little bit.
- I don't know.
I really don't know how to determine this.
I mean we didn't go the full length.
I gained a little confidence for later rounds.
I did kinda get the wind knocked out of me
now that I'm starting to talk.
- [Link] I got something else knocked.
- [Rhett] Oh, really?
- I don't feel great.
- You gotta hit chest first, not--
- I hit this part first.
- Chesticles, not testicles.
- We did make it one complete slide, but not two lengths.
My jaw's even hurting.
I think I hit my freakin'...
- You're the one that got hurt, not me.
Okay, I don't know how to judge this,
but I feel like it was just such a short thing
that this would get very old very quickly.
I don't think we can say that it Slip 'N Slides.
- No.
Banana peel, will it Slip 'N Slide?
(buzzer blares)
- [Rhett And Link] No.
- Everybody loves eating bacon,
but can you get the same joy that you get
from eating bacon by sliding on its grease?
- That's what we aim to find out right now.
We have fried up 30 pounds of bacon, which the Mythical crew
has eaten the majority of, but all of the residual grease
has been spread on our slides.
- This one's gotta me more slippery than bananas,
don't you think?
- I think so, and we call this happier than a pig and slip.
There's some big puddles at the end.
- You think we're gonna get to 'em?
- I hope so.
- Alright, three, two, one, go!
(upbeat music)
(crew laughs)
- I got a lot farther than you.
- I got something in my eye.
- You did?
- My eye's cooking.
- Oh, my goodness.
For a second, I thought that it was freakin' boiling.
It didn't burn me, but I was afraid that it was going to.
Oh, man.
- I'm eating some.
- Wow, not only did we slide an impressive length,
I mean especially me.
- You made it the majority of the way, like 75%.
I made it like 60%.
I think that's good enough to declare,
bacon grease, will it Slip 'N Slide?
- [Rhett And Link] Yes.
- Sure, we're wearing these fresh sets of rash guards,
but there's really no way to escape a little chafey
when slipping and sliding unless you're doing it
on Gold Bond medicated powder.
Not a sponsor.
- But we do have 25 pounds of Gold Bond medicated powder
on each one of these slides.
- Oh, yeah.
We should go crotch first, right?
- Yeah, get as much as crotch in it as you can.
No, you should not.
Of course not.
- Alright, we're protecting our nose and eye orifices.
Let's do it.
- Just keep your mouth orifice closed.
- [Link] What's gonna happen?
It's just powder.
- [Rhett] I kinda feel like the slide is gonna crumple up
right here at the beginning.
- It might launch us all the way to Tohunga.
(crew laughs)
- Alright, you do the count this time.
- Three, two, one, go!
(upbeat music)
I brought my slide with me.
- I feel a little chafed somewhere.
I can't see.
Where is Tohunga?
- This is the end.
Go back here.
- Okay, so we crumpled our slides.
That's no fun.
Once you crumple your slide, everybody just goes home.
- Yeah, this is a big fail.
But the cloud was pretty cool.
And you look awesome.
- Yeah, you look like powder.
- You're grayer than me now.
- Hold on a second.
Gold Bond.
Will it Slip 'N Slide?
(buzzer blares)
- [Rhett And Link] No!
- Now the internet is filled with weird challenges,
but we're not dumb enough to put Tide pods in our mouth.
We are dumb enough, however, to put them on a Slip 'N Slide.
- Actually, I think this is a brilliant idea.
We've covered this whole thing
in not only Tide pods but liquid Tide.
How could this not be a slippery, slippery sensation of--
- It's gotta be super slippy.
- Awesomeness.
Now we gotta make it
all the way this time. - All the way to the end.
Every Tide pod that you take with you, you get to take home.
So keep that in mind.
- A little prize.
- Yeah.
Alright.
Okay, I'm going hard on this one, Link.
I'm going hard like I've never gone hard.
- Stop saying hard.
- I'm going for it.
Is that better?
I'm gonna go really intensely.
- Okay.
Three, two, one!
(upbeat music)
(crew cheers) Yeah!
Whoo!
We did it!
- That's a freakin' Slip 'N Slide.
- We did it!
- [Rhett Voiceover] The only reason I stopped
is because I left the track.
- [Link Voiceover] Whoo, that was satisfying.
- [Rhett] How many Tide pods did you get?
Four?
- Yeah, you can have 'em.
- I forgot.
- Whoo!
- Okay, that was incredibly slippelry and slidey.
- Slipplery. (chuckles)
- And look, we actually busted a few of them along the way.
Do you see that? - Oh, yeah.
That's nice.
Now we're just gonna lay out our laundry for the next run.
No, I think we have something nastier, but first--
- [Rhett And Link] Tide pods.
- [Rhett] Will it Slip 'N Slide?
- [Rhett And Link] Yes!
- The Slip 'N Slide is really only fun
when you're doing it with your favorite chum.
Not you.
Actual fish chum.
I'm talking about covering this thing in fish guts,
which we've done.
- Yes, we have the rejected parts of tuna, sardines,
jellyfish, salmon, mackerel, and sea clams.
And we call this one the fish 'n slips.
- Now we have nose plugs in right now
so that it doesn't go up our nose.
But we smelled it a second ago,
and it just smelled like fish vomit.
It's horrible.
- Which I've never smelled before.
I've never seen a fish vomit.
Never been in the presence of one.
Now Link, I'll give you a dollar if you make it
all the way through the salmon heads.
- [Link] A whole dollar?
- [Rhett] Yeah!
- Gee, thanks, chum.
This is horrifying.
- Okay, let's do it.
We can do it.
We'll get this.
- [Link] Just keep your mouth closed.
- Yeah, here we go.
Three, two, one, go!
(upbeat music)
- Oh!
- Well, I'll give you a dollar.
- [Link] You made it, man.
We both made it, whoo!
- I'm so grateful that I cannot smell myself right now.
I don't think I'm ever gonna take this nose plug off.
I can taste it a little bit though.
A little bit got into my mouth.
- Oh, it got in your mouth?
- Just a teeny bit.
- Oh, my goodness.
- How does it smell over here, guys.
- [Man] I think Ely's vomiting.
- Ely's throwing up in the corner.
That's a sign of success.
Okay, hey, that worked, man.
We both made it past the salmons.
- You've got it all in your mustache.
- Yeah.
I can save it for later.
- Oh, my gosh.
Alright, fish guts, will they Slip 'N Slide?
- [Rhett And Link] Yes!
- Alright, now you know exactly what to do
with your summer Slip 'N Slide.
- Oh, my goodness.
- Gather the kids around and get some fish.
You're gonna have fun.
- Thanks for liking, commenting, and subscribing.
- You know what time it is.
- Hi, I'm Allegra.
- I'm Missy.
- I'm May.
And we're at the (mumbles) in North Carolina.
- It's time for the Wheel of Mythicality.

(Link chuckles)
I'm not going back.
- In that blue tube?
- (chuckles) Yes, I have.
