Where is that smoke coming from? What smoke?
Ahhhh! I can hear it!
Oh No. Are you sure that everything's okay up there?
Hi, I'm Natalie. I'm Tara. And this is Natalie and Tara Try Stuff.
Today we are going to try earwax candles.
These are so gross. You can't see this. Oh we'll put a picture. We'll insert a picture right there. Ding.
When I was a kid, my my little sister use to get ear infections all the time.
My mom would get like so frustrated, one of the things she'd try where these ear candles.
I don't know if they were expensive or my mom was scared they were dangerous or something,
but no one else in the family ever got to do one, and so I've always been like fascinated by it.
Like does that work? Did it help? I dont remember.
Doctors say not to do them because you can actually get wax on your eardrum.
Yeah, this is a great idea.
I'm super pumped about that.
Like I want to know what it sounds like. Like and then, the other thing is that I'm really grossed out by this.
Like this is- So let's do it!- this is a really, this is a Natalie torture thing.
I think nothing's gonna happen. I don't think this does anything. I think this is one those like hippy-
I, Okay! Yeah! But I remember we would like unroll it and there would be stuff in it.
How is that wax from bees? Which we did buy a second pair so
we can just light it on fire and see what happens. SCIENCE!
Let's do this thing.
We're gonna go lay on the floor.
I have no idea what we're doing. (Oh.) We're gonna try not to set Tara on fire.
I got the instruction here. (Oh my god.) it says do not use unless you're over the age of 18.
What? Did you have to show ID to buy this? We got a fire extinguisher handy,
just in case. Not that I know how to use your fire extinguisher.It's all right we got a bowl of water handy as well.
Just throw the bowl of water on me.
Protect yourself, your clothing, your hair from flame, ash, melting wax and cover
your exposed skin, hair, clothing with a protective device, such as a moist towel.
That's why I say, "always bring a towel."
Cut the ash every inch, this is the part that I'm scared of,
with scissors and extinguish the ash into a bowl of water.
Okay, here we go. I'm gonna set this on fire.
Which is never a good thing to be said by Natalie.
Oh my god, I'm a birthday cake.
Okay ready?
Is that in comfortably? Umm, yeah. Okay.
Sounds like a.... like white noise. Really? On TV.
I think I need you to hold the candle so I can cut it.
Oh. Yeah. Don't let me on fire.
I smell burning.
I SMELL BURNING!
I don't remember cutting this when we were kids. Well then let's not,
because it sounds more dangerous this way.
Cutting fire off sounds really F***ing dumb.
Okay, Victory!
Don't laugh! You're gonna kill yourself!
Wait, how do I put out the fire? Wait a minute, we didn't plan! We don't know what we're doing.
I lived!
That's a big flame! That's a- Is it even over the plate?-
Where is that smoke coming from? What smoke?! Right here. Are you F***ing kidding me?
No. I'm sorry. I can't, obviously can't see the smoke, you're just making me panic.
It's nothing. It's nothing just uhhh, nothing.
K, here we go. Oh my god.
Oh s***.
Yes! I'm holistic doctor now.
I'm gonna print myself up a certificate. I'm gonna buy myself some candles.
And Im gonna open a business.
Oh, it stinks. Yeah. AHHHH! I can hear it!! Oh no! Are you sure that everything's okay up there?
Everything's great. No everything's totally okay.
Oh my god! it doesn't sound like it. You're not a human tiki torch. It's completely okay.
So loud.
Did you just drop that on me? Did you just f***ing drop that on me?
Ahhh. I saw it again. Shhhh. It was the last little bit of the first time.
She's trying to kill me! It's a-okay. You're fine. You're fine.
She's trying to kill me. Listen if the latte lollipop that expired didn't kill you, you're gonna be fine.
This is a trust exercises if this nothing else.
Out therapist said, that we need to find an activity that would build trust between us...
and this was the activity we chose.
Last time we did a trust fall you drop me, okay.
I got scared.
I flinched.
Woah. What? I smoke in the tube. What if there is soot in my ear now?
that's what I'm concerned about. What if were actually putting more stuff in our ears?
Oh my god, I just got so scared. Of like wax, like dripping into my eardrum.
All right I'm gonna take it out. Thank God, cuz I just started to freak out.
We're going to set this one on fire and just let it burn down.
So then when we unroll ours and there's like nasty wax in there and there's not in this one...
Or, -Or- and there's the same thing in both of them. -Uh-huh- What if like mine is green?
What would be green? I don't know. What would you be doing that's causing green?
You never, you never know with me.
45 degrees. 45 degree angle.
That's math. We know science. We're scien...tists. (-tifical.)
Yeah look! Whoa! That's where that smoke was coming from.
See the smoke comin out of the bottom of that? That was in my ear!
Oh weird. Oh! What's happening? Look! You can see smoke in there. Yeah, that's what saw earlier.
How much danger were we in? We were in a lot of danger.
I was scary. This was terrifying.
And it's kind of good to know these take about seven minutes to do.
Alright, puttin this out. Control finished. Finnissimo!
Now the reveal.
We're gonna cut these open. Okay so you cut and I'll film.
Um,
Okay, I'll cut the control (Cut the control) and I'll cut mine, but I'm not f***ing cutting your ear wax candle.
because I do not want to touch your f***ing ear wax. No offense.
Why? That's disgusting as F***. What? There's probably nothing in there.
But what if there is? And PS whats so wrong with my ear wax?
It's not, it's ear wax in general.
I have very clean ear wax.
So grossed out by this.
Okay I'm gonna cut the control first.
Ew! Oh ehh! We know that's the control too. Thank God!
Thank god that's the control. Oh my god!
Whats in there? Look, its all...
What is that? I, that is so gross. Out of the control. I'm so glad we did it control
because if I open mine first and touched all this...
I would have been so f***in grossed out. That is soo, so tricky tricky tricky.
Now I'm gonna cut mine open and I'm still gonna be grossed out. I'm gonna be skeeved out either way.
Ready? Go.
Well there's maybe more.
Maybe it's darker.
Is it darker? This is the control and this is all the stuff that's in there.
Like there's more. It looks the same.
This is just Skeevy McSkeeverson.
You're funny. Okay. Alright. Lets get in there.
Yours is different entirely. Yeah mines even less stuff. There's nothing in yours.
It's all just powdery stuff. Where's your wax? I mean you're supposed didn't burn as long.
I have very clean ears. I'm calling this thing debunked.
This is just bull. What are you..? I'm trying to get in it. I'm trying to get the filter. I can not get it out.
Okay here we go. Eww it's gross. Yeah this this is just the powdery stuff from the candle.
like this is a side that was in my ear
and there's not, not a single thing, it's just a little bit of powder in it.
And that definitely not my stuff.
Debunked. This does not work. This doesn't do anything.
Except, it's a fire hazard. So really, don't do this. Don't do this. Theres no point.
It didn't even sound that cool. That was the thing I thought hearing the flame in my
ear was gonna be like super awesome. No I'll just listen to a vinyl record instead.
Alright so I hope that this was useful to you guys to know not to do
this since we just did it and completely debunk this stuff and with that, I'm going to say
My name is Tara. Mines Natalie. And this is Natalie and Tara Try Stuff.
I'm so grossed out still. I got under my nails. Like it's weird feeling under there.
