- Which brand of swim goggles can survive a shark attack?
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
Good Mythical summer!
- As a reminder, we are premiering a brand new video
every Thursday this summer on the Mythical Society.
Here is a sneak peak from this week.
- How come dogs can't talk?
- [Host] Allie.
- Cursed by a witch.
(laughing)
- Wrong.
(laughing)
- Check out MythicalSociety.com for exclusive mythical beast
experiences and offerings including new videos featuring
our team members.
- Now before you jump face first into that swimming pool
full of kids pee.
You probably want to put on some swim goggles.
But there is so many options out there on the market,
which one should you get?
Today we'll put the top consumers swim goggles to the test.
Its time for Buy It, Break It, Rate It,
swim goggles edition.
- Each round we'll be preforming an unconventional test
we came up with.
And at the end of the round
the worst performer will be eliminated.
- Yeah and since you're gonna wanna know
how long goggles last over time,
we're gonna keep the same pair of goggles
as we move through the rounds.
Ans we choose those goggles based on the top Amazon
best selling list, top editorial guides, and Reddit threads.
- The swim goggles we've chosen are Speedo Vanquisher
2.0 swim goggles.
- [Link] Aegend Swim Goggles.
- [Rhett] Michael Phelps xceed swimming goggles.
- [Link] The Friendly Swede goggles.
- [Rhett] And TYR sport special ops 2.0
polarized swimming goggle.
- To the goggle testing zone.
(upbeat music)
The first step in swimming is diving in,
so this first test is gonna test which goggles
can withstand the force of your face hitting the water.
- And in order to simulate the force of diving,
I have this power washer.
We could've just thrown these mannequins into a pool,
but we don't have a pool.
We have a power washer! - Yeah!
- I'm gonna be firing at each one of these mannequins,
Link is going to be timing them.
And the one that stays on the least, will be eliminated.
- Boom!
Oh yeah, its cranked up!
- Okay, I'm gonna stand about a foot away.
This is our first set of goggles, these are the Speedo's.
- [Link] It's blue.
- Three, two, one blast.
Okay?
- Okay.
- Three, two, one.
(water spraying)
Okay, that didn't last long.
- No that was very quick.
- Those are weak.
- I didn't even... - How long was that?
- Like zero.
- Good.
- I'm gonna say .2 seconds.
- It was a lot less than that.
- Yeah.
- I'll just say instantaneous failure.
- Yeah.
- Moving along, this is the Aegend.
- [Link] And they're mirrored.
- These look cool.
Let's see if they stand up to the blast.
Three, two, one.
(water spraying)
- That's pretty much instantaneous.
- Okay.
I think it's just these are really hard dives.
- Yeah, you're diving real hard.
- Okay
- Okay, we got two at the low end here,
can't differentiate between them.
- Now, we're moving on to Michael Phelps.
I have high hopes for Michael Phelps
because he dives in with a lot of force.
- Does he?
- Yeah.
He's known for that.
You ready?
Three, two, one.
(water spraying)
oh, oh, oh. - oh yeah!
Nice, that was 3.07 seconds.
What's that little seven mean?
- 3.07 seconds.
- Okay, yeah.
- All right now we're on to the Friendly Swedes.
Anything friendly about that to you?
- Looks mean to me.
- I'm gonna be very unfriendly to it.
Three, two, one.
(water spraying)
- That's another instantaneous.
- That one almost went over the wall.
- Wow!
- I think that's the worst one so far,
because we've got three that just came off instantaneously.
And finally the Tyr Sport.
- These are mirrored too.
- Three, two, one.
(water spraying)
- [Link] Okay.
- Okay, well clearly we have a winner,
but that's not what we're trying to figure out right now.
- We need to find a loser.
- Now I can say right now, that the Friendly Swedes
flew further and faster than any of the rest of ones.
- Oh yeah, look at it.
Its way over here.
It traveled the farthest distance out of all of them.
- Which means you're going to lose em.
You dive in, you don't know where they end up.
- Where are they?
Their way over there against the wall.
- So we gotta eliminate one,
and its only fair that the one that flew
the furthest is that one.
So goodbye to the Friendly Swede.
Whoo!
(buzzer)
(upbeat music)
So not everybody swims in a pool,
sometimes you gotta swim in a lake, or the creek.
There's all kinds of things in that water
you don't want in your eyes, like bird poop,
and flesh eating amoebas.
- Let's stop this list.
- You gotta seal it out.
- That's right the seal is very important
and we're gonna test the seal with these eyeball balloons
that we have in here.
I'm going to blow into each one of these
with the goggles down of course.
- Some people have eyes like that so.
- I'm gonna note, how hard and how much force it takes
to break the seal for each of these.
The one that has the weakest seal, will be eliminated.
- These are ready to go.
Okay starting again with the Speedo.
(blowing air)
Oh wow!
Okay, that right eye was not looking good.
- That was pretty easy. - Pretty easy.
- Yeah.
Okay.
- Not hard at all.
Let's try this one.
- Oh that, okay well you got two eyes.
- [Link] Yeah!
- You got two eyes releasing on that one.
- Oh yeah, two eyes.
- Was that one even easier?
- That one was even easier man.
- Okay, all right, so far the Aegend is last place.
- Okay.
We'll go into the Michael Phelps.
These are the ones that really held on in round one.
(blowing air)
Whoa, oh, whoa.
Nothing!
Michael Phelps makes some secure goggles!
- Not gonna beat me man.
(blowing air)
- Wow.
(blowing air)
I'm worried about you.
- Oh god.
- I'm a little worried.
- Okay, oh man.
- Do you need to recenter?
- Oh I just need a minute.
- You still got your timer on.
- Michael Phelps.. - what are you timing?
- Michael Phelps is clearly moving on.
- Are you timing something?
Okay now we're into the Tyr Sport.
- All right here we go.
- [Rhett] Oh, oh, okay we've got some serious release,
but just one eye.
- Whoo.
That was tough, all right so.
- Innocent bystander, this looks like the easiest one.
- It's down to these two, but yeah, this one right here
we got the double bulge.
(air blowing)
I can't do it again,
(laughing) because I'm totally worn out.
- Okay.
- But it sucks and it's gone.
- Aegend is eliminated.
(buzzer)
(upbeat music)
- There are few things more annoying than swimming
with scratched googles, but ones of things
is getting attacked by a shark.
- And you might think that the worst part
about getting attacked by a shark is dying,
well your wrong its getting your goggles scratched.
- Which is why for this test we have a shark.
- As always we're taking a very scientific approach,
this balloon perfectly approximates a human head
and this screws inside of this mouth,
perfectly approximates the mouth of a screwed tooth shark,
native to the Gulf of Mexico.
- I would not put your hand in there,
because when my foot hits this, maybe accidentally,
it's gonna clamp together and scratch up the goggles,
or your hand, or face, or whatever is in there.
- So here you are, you've got Earl,
whose just swimming along and then he goes whoops
looks like I got myself in a little predicament.
- The one with the most scratches in the end
will be eliminated.
- Okay Link, Earls head is secured and ready to be chomped.
- Ready?
- Yep.
- Three, two, one, chomp.
- Oh!
(mechanical noise)
Oh!
Okay, Earl is dead.
(laughing)
But again that's not what's important.
- Is the goggles scratched?
- Earl's fishing rod that was connected to the head
has also be compromised.
- This is also a trust exercise because I'm, oh my goodness.
I'm gonna hold this apart and your gonna reach in,
Oh gosh.
- Okay.
- How much scratch?
- Let see what we've got here.
Okay so we have significant scratchage on each one,
but it's pretty much isolated to one scratch,
pretty significant on the Speedo's.
- Let's clamp the rest and then we'll..
- Yeah we have nothing to compare it to.
So now we've got the Michael Phelps goggles
and Earl number two.
I'm gonna situate him perfectly in here.
Okay Link, whenever you're ready.
- Three, two, one, jaw snap.
(mechanical noise)
(balloon popping)
- Oh, Earl two is also dead.
- All right.
Whoa, all right.
Pull that out.
Do we have any scratches?
- We've got,
this is kinda hard to tell but that right goggle
was actually hit in two different places
but it did not take much damage.
And finally the Tyr.
- You really trust me man.
I'm surprised you have me on pedal duty.
- Ready.
- Three, two, one.
- Whoa!
- What?
- Earl never, whoa! - Whoa!
(roaring)
How did the balloon, it hit the goggles
and it kept the balloon from bursting?
- I don't know what happened but it was awesome.
- What?
Wow.
- Okay, I'm going in, you got it?
- Yeah.
- Wow, so we've got,
I don't know what happened with that balloon
it was very strong but you know what it's just a variable.
All right there was actually scratchage
but only a tiny little bit of scratchage
and nothing on this side.
- So if we were to compare all three.
- Well it's easy to see right here, Speedo's are gone,
man we have significant damage.
It was very much scratched, paint got on it.
It's a deep cut.
- I hear ya.
- I think we gotta get rid of the Speedo's.
- They're gone.
(buzzer)
(upbeat music)
- Now as any 13 year old boy can tell you,
one of the coolest things about having a pair of goggles
is being able to go beneath the surface
and look at people in their bathing suits.
So visibility is very important.
- That's right so for this final test
we are going head to head on a vision test.
The first person to finish their vision test,
their goggles are crowned the best of Good Mythical Morning.
Let's do it.
Okay Rhett, behind this blanket is your eye chart
and we got mythical team members here
to throw titanic themed stuff at you,
to make this more difficult.
- Makes sense.
- All right are you ready? - [Rhett] Yes.
- I'm gonna be timing this
and comparing it to my performance.
- [Rhett] Okay.
- Ready, in three, two, one, go!
(water splashing)
- We, wer,
we r to,
we wer to be on YouTube.
Were to old to be on YouTube.
- That's it.
(laughing)
- 17.28 seconds, how do you feel?
- Oh a little cold.
(laughing)
But I lived.
- [Link] Can I try?
- Yes.
- Okay I got my contacts in, I'm ready to see a chart.
- And you have Odyssey themed things being thrown to you.
- What is that?
- Olives and grapes.
- Oh gosh - and baklava.
- Wow - [Rhett] Your favorite.
Okay Link, three, two, one, go.
(water splashing)
- Chaps a,
Chaps city,
chaps city this water.
Cha p this water.
Chase peed in this water.
- That's it you got it.
You got it with 12.41 seconds.
That means that your goggles Link, the Tyr Sport
are the official best goggles of Good Mythical Morning.
- Yeah but did Chase really pee in this water?
- Yeah I saw him.
- [Link] Okay.
