- Better not glitch when you're hitting that pitch.
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat instrumental music)
(fire blaring)
Goooood Mythical Morning!
- Mythical Beasts, being an inventor is cool and fun,
but it can be tough to translate that into a business.
Not everyone could be as successful
as our "Buddy System" character, slash ex-girlfriend,
co ex-girlfriend.
- Yeah. - Slash infomercial queen,
Aimee Brells.
Check her out brelllife.com.
- Check it out!
Which reminds me,
episode four of "Buddy System" is now out on YouTube Red.
We have a roller gang fight this week.
You should check it out.
- You may have the perfect product idea in your noggin,
but unless you're the four time Cover Girl,
and one time centerfold of Pitching Magazine,
you may not have the means to produce it.
- And that's where an investor comes in.
But in order to get an investor
to invest in your amazing product,
you gotta know how to sell it.
And that's what we're gonna find out today;
who could do a better job
of pitching their product as we play
The Pitch Perfect Perfect Pitch Challenge.
- We have on blazers because we mean business.
- Yes.
Here's how this is gonna work.
We each have a hat in front of us.
We actually have to take one thing from each hat
and then we have to combine them
into a never before scene or heard of product
and then pitch it.
- Okay, and then we have to,
and we're gonna go over here to pitch it
to our esteemed panel of three blonde people.
- Yes.
- And then you investors are gonna tell us
how much you're willing to pay for the product.
You're not really investing.
You're just maybe gonna buy it.
Just go with it.
- Consumer investor. - Okay.
Any questions?
30 seconds for each pitch.
I'm gonna go first.
- Link, you go first.
- All right.
Okay, here we go.
Pizza. - Hmm.
I've heard of that.
- And,
horn.
- Hey, hey!
- Pizza Horn.
- Horn Pizza,
or Pizza Horn.
- Yeah, you can do whatever you want to.
- Okay, Link.
Go. - Who doesn't love pizza?
Old people even love pizza.
But what makes you angrier
than discovering an empty pizza box
in your apartment or your home?
Hey, who ordered pizza,
and didn't give me any of it?
I didn't know there was pizza,
until today,
thanks to the revolutionary new Pizza Horn.
It's a product
that's a revolutionary horn
that tells you when the pizza's there.
Hey, dinner or pizza! (buzzer buzzing)
And did I mention
it's made out of a pizza, so you can eat it?
- You can't keep pitching it now.
- All right.
You ready?
Casey, how much are you willing to pay
for my revolutionary, new Pizza Horn?
- Well, I'm celiac, so $2
'cause I don't think this is really gonna help me.
- Okay, whatever.
(group chuckling) Jen, work with me.
- I'm not celiac,
and I'm still only gonna pay 90 cents.
- 90 cents? (group laughing)
- And I love pizza.
- Have you ever realized that everyone ate all the pizza
and you didn't know it existed until it was gone?
- No, I can smell it.
- Lizzy, come on.
- I went lowest with 75 cent for your Pizza Horn.
- Nothing! - I hate air horns, man.
- You hate horns?
- I hate horns.
- You guys are a tough crowd.
- Great start, Link.
(woman laughing) Come on back.
Oh they, they low balled you.
- This is not easy.
- What can you do?
Let's see what I got.
- Their loss.
Call me if you want the Pizza Horn.
- Face.
I've got one of those.
- Face?
- Basket.
- Face Basket, all right.
Don't go easy on him.
- Okay, Rhett.
Go. - Hey,
if you're like me you get embarrassed from time to time.
Sometimes you see a girl named Amanda
and you call her a Panda,
or sometimes you sneeze and fart at the same time.
In situations like that,
do you just stand there and let your face get red?
No, you use the Face Basket.
Place your face in the Face Basket until everyone has left.
(group laughing) When everyone is gone,
remove your face from the Face Basket
and resume with normal life.
(woman laughing) The Face Basket.
You know you want it.
(group laughing)
(buzzer buzzing)
With time to spare!
Okay.
Casey, what are you paying?
Hey, 2.50!
Jen? (group chuckling)
$4!
15.99!
Yeah!
- [Link] 15.99? - Yeah, that's right!
- But there's holes in the basket.
They can see you're embarrassed.
- And you see the, no, this is a tight weave basket, man.
- You didn't specify.
- It's a tight weave basket!
- All right, here we go.
Okay.
Wallet.
- Okay.
(men chuckling) - Helmet.
- Wallet Helmet.
Or a wallet. - Wallet.
- It could be either one.
You can combine it however you want to, Link
- Wallet Helmet.
(man sighing) - Okay, Link.
Go. - Hey guys,
everyone knows it pays to wear a helmet.
Just ask any NFL player or professional bicyclist,
but then ask a professional NFL player
or a bicyclist for a snack at the concession stand.
And they'll be like, "I don't have my wallet in my uniform,"
until today with the Wallet Helmet.
That's where you keep your legal tender
in your head protection device.
It can be used for all types of normal people as well.
I mean, my wallet has to go in my sock when I'm bicycling.
(buzzer buzzing) (man laughing)
- That was effective.
- Casey?
7.95!
All right. (man clapping)
All right.
Jen?
$12.
You like that?
- [Jen] Yeah.
- $20! (man laughing)
- What? - Yeah, that's right!
Get the money out your helmet!
- [Rhett] Okay. - Put your head
in your Face Basket after that one.
(man laughing) - I mean,
it seems like a good product.
I mean, there is no place for a wallet and a helmet.
- You until today. - Right.
- Okay, here we go.
Let's see what we got.
Tongue.
Oh. - Tongue.
(man chuckling)
- We have tongue and we have,
slide.
- Tongue Slide.
Or Slide Tongue.
- Tongue Slide? - Hit 'em.
- Okay, Rhett.
Go. - Everyone has a relative
who's afraid of the water parks,
but you don't want them to ruin the day
for everyone in the family.
Introducing the Tongue Slide.
It's a long slide
that looks a lot like a gutter.
I wish I had a prototype, but I don't,
so I'm gonna have to use hand motions.
And you use the lubrication qualities of your wet tongue
and slide it down just like this.
Now a lot of people may think that it's just licking,
but it's actually the Tongue Slide for hours of fun.
(buzzer buzzing) (group laughing)
Casey, what are you paying?
Come on, Casey!
It's gonna be so much fun.
Jen?
One cent!
- Yeah it sounds fair. - I don't think
you understand!
I know it can almost look obscene for me to demonstrate it,
but just think of it like a slide.
- [Link] They've already written their dollar amount.
- You can still update, Lizzy,
you can still update it.
- [Link] How much?
- 10 cents!
- [Link] 10 cents. - Dang gobbit!
(man clapping) I think if I had.
- It's just not a good product.
- Prototype.
If I had a prototype,
you know, it's gonna be flavored too.
They're all. - You didn't say.
- Any flavor that you want.
- Listen, I think what we've,
here's what we decided.
The Wallet Helmet is a go.
We're gonna move to prototype phase.
- Okay. - And what was your other one?
- The Face Basket would be great.
- The Face Basket.
- I'm also gonna develop the Tongue Slide on my own,
but it's okay. (group chuckling)
I don't need your investment.
- Or my help, hopefully.
- Yeah. - So we've determined
that pitching ain't easy,
but we ain't done with pitching.
It's time for All You Had To Do Was Ask!
(upbeat instrumental music)
- Our friends at Amazon
asked us to use the Amazon Echo,
the hands free speaker you control with your voice,
which we have placed behind us,
to help us help you answer some of your questions.
Question comes from Emily Parker who asks,
"How can I stay on key
when someone nearby me is singing way off key?
My brain always tells me that if someone else is off,
then maybe I am too.
And I lose what little singing ability I have."
- That's right.
We are now transitioning from pitching products
to musical pitch.
And Emily, the key to staying on key
is to tune out all distractions,
and with the proper practice technique
you can pretty much learn to ignore
everything that is happening around you
in order to nail the perfect pitch.
- Or can you?
We're gonna find out if we can.
So we have enabled the pianist skill on the Echo.
So we're gonna ask it to play a note for us,
and then we will hum that note,
and then the other guy will try to distract the guy
who's holding that note from that note.
- Uh huh? - And then we'll see,
after that distraction if you can reproduce the note,
and we have a little electronic tuner here
to see how close we can get.
(man signing) - I'm singing at G sharp!
- Okay, Link.
You're trying to distract me first.
- Yep, so you call for the note that you want.
- Yes, Alexa, ask the pianist to play a G sharp.
- [Alexa] Here is a G sharp.
(piano playing) (man singing)
- I have to cross my eyes a little bit.
(man signing)
- You got it? - I got it.
- All right, are you ready for your distraction?
Eddie, hit it!
(upbeat Latin music) (man singing)
Look at me shaking these things in your face.
Yeah.
Making it hard, aren't I?
Shaking these things,
shaking them in your face.
Ah!
Woo!
(man chuckling)
- Chase breathed into this ear.
That was the most distracting thing.
That's what really threw me off,
was the Chase breath.
- At least he wasn't dressed like a clown.
- Okay, okay.
I'm ready.
Let me see if I can.
(man singing)
(man laughing) - You looked at the tuner.
- It was wrong.
It was an A. (buzzer buzzing)
- You were singing an A.
- Okay, let's see,
'cause this is what a G sharp is.
Alexa asked the pianist to play a G sharp.
- [Alexa] Here is a G sharp.
(piano playing)
- So A's still not an A.
- A's pretty close to G sharp,
but it's not.
It's not the same note,
so I fail.
I failed.
- Okay, so now it's my turn.
- Yes, it is. - To see if I can hold a note.
Alexa, ask the pianist to play a B flat.
- [Alexa] Here is a B flat.
(piano playing)
(man singing)
- Okay, Link you ready?
- Got it.
- All right, boys.
Come on in.
(men clapping)
You have to look at 'em.
You can't not look at 'em.
They got your name on there.
Hit it, Eddie!

There's no way you got it now!
There's no way you got that note.
- They've been working out.
- Yeah.
Told 'em about this weeks ago.
- All right, I think if I go back into this.
(man signing)
- It's a B flat! - Yeah!
- Link, you did it!

Maybe that's a special skill.
- No, it's not. (man chuckling)
- Here's what an E sounds like.
Alexa, ask the pianist to play an E.
- [Alexa] Here is an E
(piano playing)
- See, it's easy for the Amazon Echo, Alexa, to say an E.
- You know what's easy for me to do?
Go one note up.
(man chuckling) You try that.
- That's not much of a skill.
- You try that.
- Alexa, ask the pianist to play a D.
- [Alexa] Here is a D.
(piano playing)
♪ D ♪
- [Rhett] You're cheating with your mouth, man.
- Got it.
- Do whatever you want.
I'm going to sing a D no matter what.

I went too low, man.
You shook,

(group laughing)
- What?
- That's the most distracting part of what just happened
actually. - I feel pretty good about
this decision that I've made,
but I will put it back on.
(man laughing)

- Or seeing what pitch we speak in?
- Well, maybe.
- Link is a beached whale!
Hey, brother.
Hey. - Here I am.
- I don't know how to handle this.
Should I call the EPA, or should I just push you?

(upbeat instrumental music)
- So let me erase,
