- What happens when you leave a tooth in mouthwash
for a month?
- Let's talk about that.
(alarm rings) (playful theme music)
(fire blasts)
Good Mythical Morning.
- It is a Mythical giftical time of year.
Yes, today kicks off our partnership
with St. Jude Children's Hospital
and their thanks and giving campaign.
Also it brings an early start to YouTube's giving week.
As you may already know, St. Jude is pioneering research
and treatments for kids with cancer
and other life-threatening diseases
and families never receive a bill for treatment,
travel, housing, or food.
- They do awesome work and we partnered with St. Jude
in the past and this year we are very excited
because we're actually going to Memphis to visit St. Jude
in person to meet the children and have some fun
around Memphis while we're there.
We're gonna be bringing you a week of GMM from Memphis
starting on November 19th.
So get ready for that.
- But right now get ready for this!
- Yes.
- We have set a goal to raise $100,000 for St. Jude
with your help between now and the end of the year.
And Google Pay is gonna generally, generously--
- Generously? - And generously.
They'll generally do it. - In general.
- Match every dollar of the first $100,000
and that will bring us to a total goal of $200,000.
Thank you so much Google Pay!
- Google Pay, thank you for matching that.
It is incredibly easy to donate
and get those matching funds.
All you gotta do is click the blue donate button
on your screen.
On mobile it's below the video,
on your computer it's to the right of the video
and to learn more information or if you don't see
the blue button and wanna donate, go to stjude.org/gmm.
- And we're gonna be updating the progress
on our Twitter and Instagram, that's @rhettandlink
so make sure to follow along there because
every time we hit a milestone,
we're going to do something very special to celebrate.
- Mhm, but for today,
we once again took to our shelf that we leave things on
which we call The Shelf That We Leave Things On.
- That's right, we've left yet another substance
on our shelf for a month.
We've done Coke, bleach, open air, Guinness,
salt, pool water-- - Yeah.
- Nail polish remover and now mouthwash.
It's time for Left on a Shelf: Mouthwash Edition.
(woman shrieks)
- We'll be presented with an item and two options
for what might have happened when that item
was left in mouthwash for a month.
- If we get less than half right,
we have to wash our mouths out with soap,
on Instagram, and if we win we get to
gargle chocolate sauce on Instagram.
I love Instagram.
- Let's do it.
- [Rhett and Link] Round one. (woman shrieks)
- Okay we're getting things kicked off with a tomato.
I know you love it.
- I don't like to eat 'em but I do like to put them
in mouthwash for months at a time.
- Okay after being left in mouthwash for a month,
did the tomato dissolve into mush
like my wife's attraction to me after I turned 40.
- (chuckles) Oh!
The writers gettin' in the jabs.
- Or, fill up with liquid like my wife's attraction
to me before I turned 40.
What, come on!
Have you been consulting with Jessie?
- That sounds a little medical.
Okay.
I mean I'm definitely thinking that this thing dissolves.
Fills up with liquid?
I don't even know what that would mean.
- Maybe that means-- - Fill up with liquid?
- It swelled up-- - Swole?
- It feels like they would say swole.
If that's what they were talking about.
Dissolve into mush, I mean so--
- Fill up with liquid.
- This is like standard mouthwash
with a certain alcohol content.
So I don't know what the other active ingredients
in mouthwash are that would do things.
- Blue stuff. - Blue stuff.
What would blue stuff do? - Mint stuff.
Or green stuff, depending, I don't know what color it is.
- Alcohol preserves things.
- Dissolve into mush. - You think it dissolves?
- I don't even know what fill up liquid would even mean.
- I don't either.
I think they're both wrong but I don't have a third option.
Okay we'll go with dissolve into mush.
- Dissolve into much.
Oh it filled up with liquid dude, it's huge.
Is that mush?
Okay let's take this thing out.
- [Rhett] No it's not mush, man.
- You have tongs right there.
- It's so much bigger than it was.
(buzzer buzzes)
- You're not gonna be able to get it out, are you?
Nothing happened, put it down.
Well this is a knife, I'll let you use it.
Cut that in half.
So it, oh my word, it's full of liquid.
It absorbed, taste it.
- No.
- Lick it, just lick it.
- You lick it!
- I don't like tomatoes. - I cut it, you lick it.
- I don't like tomatoes. - That's our agreement.
I cut it, you lick it.
- So we were wrong but I'm sure it tastes great.
- [Rhett] It is mushier than it was.
It might be good.
- Does it smell like mouthwash?
Smell it. - Maybe you'll like tomatoes
after this.
- It smells very strong, like--
- Lick it.
I cut it, you lick, oh, oh!
(Rhett groans)
- It's better.
It's better than a tomato.
- [Rhett and Link] Round two. (woman shrieks)
- Garlic, interesting.
Here are our options, did the garlic smell fresh
and clean like me after using Mythical Number Nine.
- [Rhett] Oh.
- Oh. - Okay.
- Available-- - Very well-placed sponsor.
- At Mythical.store.
(sprays cologne)
Don't be afraid, it smells awesome.
- Well, I just don't trust you with anything.
- Look at that.
Some good smelling stuff.
My wife puts it on herself too (chuckles).
Or does it retain its odor like a mummified
Egyptian cat penis.
- Oh I smelled a few of those. - Is that why
an Egyptian cat penis, it retains its odor?
It's gotta be hard to mask the odor of garlic,
don't you think? - I mean especially
if I were to cut this.
You don't smell it on the outside very much.
But if you were to cut this.
Get in there, smell that.
- Oh Nelly.
- Yeah so you think if we took this thing out
and we cut it up, we're not gonna smell it?
- I don't know, it's gonna absorb it though.
It would be a mir-ickle.
It'd be (laughs), what is that?
- It'll be a mir-ickle, man.
I know what a mir-ickle is.
It's the same thing as a miracle.
- I don't know how that happened.
It would be a mir-ickle.
So yeah I'm betting on a mir-ickle that this thing
smells fresh and clean.
Come on, go with me, man.
- Okay. - Mir-ickle.
I was wrong last time. - I believe in mir-ickles.
- Oh see it looks a little bigger but I don't know
if that's just the distortion from, ew.
Am I smelling that one or am I smelling this one already?
- I think it's-- - It smells like garlic.
(crew laughs)
- Smell it, Neal.
- Oh my gosh!
That's a mir-ackle of another type.
- Oh it got stronger!
- But it also smells like mouthwash still.
It's like when you eat a bunch of garlic
and then you gargle-- - You try to cover it up
with mouthwash-- - And it doesn't work
and we should have known that.
- Yes, you're not fooling anybody.
- We've done this.
- Well I haven't.
- Listen, you get to answer the next one
'cause I've been wrong twice.
- There's a whole section in my gym that a guy goes to
every single day--
- Just clouds it. - It's the garlic corner.
- Yeah. - I stay out of it.
He's on the elliptical.
You know who you are.
- [Rhett and Link] Round three.
(woman shrieks) - Okay this is a boar's tooth
and they come stained so that's not how it came out
of the boar's head but when they sell them--
- This is the root and that's the tooth.
- They stain it, it's decorative.
So after this stained boar's tooth was left
in mouthwash for a month, did it get eaten away
like a Brooklyn Bagel anywhere in the vicinity
of Larry King?
(Link chuckles)
Or turn white like the next part of Brooklyn
to become gentrified.
Oh (chuckles), oh gosh guys.
Gentrification joke.
Hm, I don't think,
there's no way it bleached it, right?
- I put this in my mouth and it stinks.
Is that because of my mouth?
- I think it's because it was in a boar's mouth.
- Good. - For quite a long time.
It can't eat it away.
- It's biological material.
- Oh you know what, I think it turns white, here's why.
Because what makes this dark is the stain
and if you wanna clean up something, you use--
- Mouthwash. - Alcohol.
- Oh. (crew laughs)
- Mouthwash, you know me.
I'm staining my couch green all the time.
And so I think that it actually broke down
the stain and made it back to the original
nice white color.
- Hey I said I was going with you
'cause I've been nothing but wrong this morning.
- Turn white!
- [Link] Boom, you did it, Rhett!
- Okay.
- I'm gonna fish it.
(tongs clatter)
- [Rhett] Look at that.
The stain is gone.
- And if you buy it and you want it white,
you know what to do now, guys.
- This is what I wanted in the first place.
I didn't want a stained one.
- Look at the difference there.
You could start your own business
of bleaching boar's teeth.
Bleachedboarsteeth.com.
- Or you could just start not staining them
from the beginning. (clicks teeth)
- [Rhett and Link] Round four. (woman shrieks)
- Jack-o-lantern, hm.
What are options, did it remain firm like Grandpa
watching the movie Book Club starring Diane Keaton,
Jane Fonda, and Candice Bergen?
Oh, three women who are older - In his age range.
- Or did it become soft and squish like Grandpa's pants
after he ate supermarket sushi at his actual book club?
- Mhm, soft and squish. - Uh.
- That could be me and you, soft and squish.
- I'll be either one.
They're both so equally delectable.
- [Rhett] Now I'm gonna go with soft and squish.
- We've gotta get both of these right.
This one and the next one in order to
not wash our mouths out with soap.
- I'm going with soft and squish simply because
the tomato became soft and squish.
It's not gonna get harder.
- Or remain firm.
- It's not get more firm. - It's porous.
- It's remaining firm and that's an
important distinction, Grandpa.
- And this isn't a pumpkin, it's a jack-o-lantern,
so it's got holes in it which allow for even more stuff to--
- Infiltration. - Get through the middle part.
So we're saying it becomes soft and squish.
- That looks pretty soft and squishy, man.
- Actually-- - Can't really tell but--
- This is a cool specimen container.
- [Rhett] Uh-oh.
- [Link] Turn it around, show 'em the--
- Uh-oh, it's pretty hard. (buzzer buzzes)
(pumpkin thumps)
Oh no, it's squishy.
It's squishy. - It's so squishy.
(grunts)
- That's pretty hard.
Wow, it remained firm.
- Way to go, Grandpa. - Losers!
- [Rhett and Link] Round five. (woman shrieks)
- Of course we can't end this experiment
without putting coagulated blood into mouthwash.
- This is what it looks like when
you don't put it in mouthwash.
- Yeah. - Boy that's great.
Don't need to look at that anymore.
- So what happens to it, does it turn green,
like the toilets in all bar bathrooms on St. Paddy's Day?
- True.
- Or turn the liquid red like the toilets
in very specific bathrooms on free beets day. (chuckles)
Free beets day.
- Well we're gonna wash our mouths out with soap
so I say this turns red.
There's little at stake.
- I don't think you can overpower it to the point
of turning it green.
- Right, there's no way.
It's nothing but--
- It has a cleansing quality to it,
but can it turn it all the way to green?
- No way. - Blood can't be--
- No way. - Can't be done like that.
- No way. - Turn it red.
Yes.
Do we even need to open it?
Why are you opening it?
- Maybe it's green though.
Maybe when we take it out, it turned green.
(lid clatters)
- Is it still a thing, is it still a gel?
Leave it in.
- There it is. - There it is!
Science.
- No green anywhere.
So we got that one right.
- And of course, we also left Link's glasses
in mouthwash for a month.
- Oh!
So that's where those have been.
- All right, we didn't get more than half right
so head over to Instagram to watch us
wash our mouths out with soap.
- Mhm, thank you for liking, commenting and subscribing.
- You know what time it is.
- Hi I'm Jessie.
- And I'm John.
- And we're from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
- We brought The Terminator with us
on a road trip to Prague.
- [Both] And it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality.
(both chuckling)
- Yeah, Prague.
- I'll be back.
- Click the top link to watch us play mouthwash charades
in Good Mythical More.
- And to find out where
the Wheel of Mythicality's gonna land.
- [Rhett] Sit back, relax, and take a gulp
of Mythicality from our Ear Biscuits jar.
