Jory: Hello, and welcome to "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?" I'm your host, Jory Caron.
You know, for over 70 episodes, I've been going coco for coconuts!
*theme song plays*
Jory: Let's go roast some nuts!
Jory: And, as always, our Sharp microwave!
Jory: It's never a good idea, unless you want an explosion!
Jory: Stopping, stopping!
Jory: Safety is our number-one concern.
Jon: Wow! That's a lotta smoke!
Jory: The masks- they do nothing!
Jory: We also hide behind this big tin foil shield. Nobody likes roasted nuts!
Ezra: Is it a good idea?
Jory: (laughs) Absolutely!
Jory: Is it a good idea to microwave this?
Let's find out! Here at Jory Caron Laboratories, safety is our number-one concern. That's why we microwave things like coconuts.
And why we hide behind this giant tin foil shield, to protect our nuts.
Jon: IS it gonna protect us this time?
It MIGHT protect our nuts! Because nobody likes roasted nuts, okay?
We have this fan here. It's to circulate the air. And we also have our Sharp carousel microwave. She has two sisters. You may be thinking it's Sandra and Diane.
No, they aren't related! Her two sisters are Olga and Gretchen! They come from the long line of Austrian-born women.
Jory: Helga's the biggest, Helga's the best! In goes the coconut.
Because of the nature of this experiment, I think some duct tape might help, you know, to keep my mind at ease.
Jon: You're thinking the door's gonna get blown open here?
I think it might. I don't want to find out!
Jon: You're concerned for your well-being! I get it!
Jory: You can tell I'm not as concerned for HELGA'S well-being, but she knew what she was getting into when she took on the job!
Jory: I think I made that clear to her. If I didn't, I'm really sorry!
Jon: Sorry, Helga!
Jory: So, I wonder how long I should put it in there for?
Jon: At least 35 minutes!
Jory: 35?!
Jon: Yeah, you know, just in case. Thirty-five minutes!
Jory: That's, by far, the longest time we've ever done for any experiment!
Jon: Do it!
Jory: I think I'm gonna go to sleep. Just wake me when it's over. I'll join you on these steps.
Jory: So, just the two of us here, watching this microwave... It's in there for 35 minutes. We're gonna chop it down for you, but I'd much rather be watching the Lifetime Channel right now!
Really?!
Jon: Alright, so we've got about 35 minutes on this thing. We're just gonna hang out and watch.
*Jory yawns, and then, hits his head on the stairs*
Ow! Your stairs are really uncomfortable!
Jon: I'm sorry, Jory! "I'm sorry I couldn't build you a better ship, Rose!" Everyone loves "Titanic" references!
Jon: With snazzy camera angles and fast camera edits, we'll make it appear as if we're having a good time!
I'm picking my ear right now!
Jory: I'm just gonna fill you in. Recently, we think it separated. So, uh, let's go find out.
Jon: Are you ready for this? (singing) Da-da-da-dun-dun-dun!
Jon: That coconut hasn't exploded yet! I'll bet that orange [beep] kept it from comin' apart. Watch yourself- that's been in there for, like, 15 minutes, dude!
Jon: The [beep] inside is probably molten, dude!
Jory: So, a coconut does not explode, it just cracks.
Jon: That's hot steam, man!
*Jory cracks open coconut with poker*
I guess the coconut shell fractures too easily! It just can't take the pressure!
Jon: Look at that! There's like a line!
Jon: Longest experiment ever!
Jory: So, is it a good idea to microwave a coconut? No, it really doesn't do anything. I mean, I guess... No, actually, I can't think of a good reason to do it!
Well, that's it for this episode of "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?" I'm your host, Jory Caron.
