Secrets of Rub Some Bacon On It

it's finally time to spend the next 12. minutes talking about bacon I'm Travis. Springs from Carol Iowa let's talk about. [Music]. [Applause]. that good mythical morning today's. episode is brought to you by SM maker of. musical apps for your phone and your. tablet device including Songify now. available on Android blowing your mind. it's Songify on Android yeah boy.

blow. mind Android blowing mind Andy on. Android yeah boy yeah. boy yeah boy that was two yeah Boys in. there thanks for joining us today we're. very excited because we have launched. our latest music video entitled rub some. bacon on. [Music]. iton on it Bon on it.

I would like to think that we could have. come up with that title on our own but. you know we got to give credit what. credit is due uh it was a five-word song. title submitted by a dude whose username. happens to be Jeff is nude yep that I. mean we can't that's what it is I. apologize for that that's his name Jeff. is new you know but when he comes up. with a song title suggestion as great as. rub some bacon on it I don't care what. his username is right he gets chosen so. thanks Jeff is nude for suggesting this.

we turned it into a music video we went. all in on this one so we want to talk to. you about it today give you some behind. the scenes tidbits extras excerpts that. will enrich the viewing experience as. you inevitably watch it hopefully. hundreds of thousands of times and share. it with all your friends really that's. asking a lot but do it you know the. internet is is obsessed with bacon we. already knew that in fact one of the. most interesting things about this. experiment of asking people for song.

titles is how often certain things show. up and we kept seeing bacon show up over. and over and over and over again and so. but the best iteration of the bacon. suggestion was rub some bacon on it. right cuz I mean immediately I think I. found it and I read it off to you and. you're like H I like this one because it. you know all of a sudden you start to. see a music video. unfolding some songs we write they start. as just comedy songs where it's okay. this is just going to be funny because. of how we're singing it or what's being.

said right this one definitely from the. ge-o was about the video itself yes. which is why we ended up uh shooting way. too many days way too many places but. hopefully you know it's all going to be. worth it now we we used a couple of fake. things we use real bacon this was not. fakon it was real bacon and we fried. approximately and I fried most of it I. didn't fry any of it uh four pounds of. bacon were uh not a lot of it was.

consumed a lot of it was rubbed but that. was four pounds of real bacon but we did. use fake blood uh it's I think this is. the bloodiest video we've ever done we. we we've not done a lot of blood in our. videos but when you nail your finger to. something uh it is appropriate to use a. vial of fake blood that's what we have. left uh a lot of people are wondering. did you guys drop a real iPhone into the. toilet no uh we dropped a fake iPhone. you can actually this is from Amazon. this is like 12 bucks you can go and get. what looks especially from the back look.

just like a real iPhone it's metal it. has the same weight but then it has like. this insert in there which once you drop. it into the toilet the button even seems. to work yeah it feels like an iPhone but. the the screen is just this paper insert. and now that we dropped it into my. toilet It's like got brown stains on it. oh how did that happen I thought you. clean the toilet before we dropped it in. there anyway if and then you then I got. you to flush it and then you're. conveniently you said your hand wouldn't. fit down there to to pull it out so I. had to fish my hand down in your toilet.

and get this fake we should have just. left it in. there catch it grab. it why didn't you go after it I I get. this my fingers have bacon all over them. so I can't I can't hold grab hold of it. you need to grab hold of it sorry. dude don't push it just don't push it. any. further and then we also got a fake. narwhal horn well first of all the.

Narwhal horn as many people have pointed. out also it's not a horn it's a tooth we. knew that it's a that's amazing it's a. tooth that comes out like several feet. and back several feet you're talking. maybe maybe 10 feet on some of them. they're big uh but I've got to see one. of these in person back tour we can take. the Narwhal tour yeah signed us up. yesterday yes there's a what they used. to do back in the the old days is the. these European Flores would cut the.

Narwhal tooth off and then bring it back. to Europe and sell it as a unicorn horn. that is a fact and it's unethical yeah. but this was not a real uh naral horn. you can actually of course this is Los. Angeles where you can rent things like. replica narwhal horns for your video and. that's and that's what we did we should. we should talk about we should mention. the hidden annotations just to reward. you guys for uh being good mythical. viewers um I I think that we're alluding. to the in fact there's hidden.

annotations but we can't we're not going. to tell you exactly where they are one. of which is Mr Tim outakes one is Harley. phone calls with the uh with the bacon. bot and then there's some ridiculous uh. pieces of footage of us singing on the. beach some people have gotten the joke. some people haven't gotten the joke of. the flashing the watch mhm while I'm. rubbing bacon on a narwhal horn and that. was when we realized that we had we it. was another song we thought we were.

going to write that's what it was before. we got to rub some bacon on it we were. going to we saw everybody commenting the. Narwhal Bacons at Midnight and we had. begun process that is a great five-word. song title and then I was like this is. almost too good to and too many people. are suggesting it for it not to be. something and then of course I Google. the Narwhal Bacons at Midnight and. that's when we learn that this is the. official greeting of a redditor somebody. who is a redditor meets another redditor. at a conference or something like that. did you know about this the person says. when does the B the narwhal bacon and.

the person responds the Narwhal Bacons. at Midnight and then if you say it then. they let you into their Reddit Club of. coolness now let's talk about the robot. he you know I guess the question comes. up how do you go from a video about. bacon to all of a sudden needing a robot. I was actually concerned you know when I. first watched the final cut that people. might say hey you guys are you threw too. much at this video maybe you're trying. too hard we try very hard I'm not going.

to I'm not going to apologize for that. but the robot it was kind of an it was. an organic conversation when we were. recording the song and recording the. lyrics When we got to the chorus we were. trying to figure out what we were going. to sing and we came up with this thing. that we thought was good where where we. were just going to Champ bacon on it. yeah like that R some bacon on it and we. recorded that and then I was like you. know that sounds it sounds like a bunch. of frat guys chanted about some bacon on. it so join my frat break some bacon on.

it you won't regret rub some bacon on it. they get it so we decided to scrap that. and we couldn't come up with anything. else to sing that we could be proud of. so we ended up saying what if we made it. a robotic voice yeah and so then we're. like okay you make it a robotic voice. it's quirky it fits the tone of the song. but that means we're going to have to. build a robot yeah so the robot actually. happened musically before before it. happened in the video V visually and.

then you came up with the idea of the a. George Foreman grill could be frying. bacon and then it could be the mouth of. the robot the whole head so we knew that. would be the mouth and then you know. Jason did a great job Gathering all. these materials $200 worth of junk. basically we knew we wanted a you know a. trash can and then from there it was. just things that you found right like uh. CD player Sega Genesis controller yeah. old timey phone.

I found the phone at a yard stale oh. congratulations you're you're welcome I. guess we should give the secret away on. of how we made the mouth move should we. yeah you're mythical Beast you watch. Good Mythical Morning I didn't even I. didn't know it was a secret I thought it. was PVC pipe well it's not a secret. between us I'm saying if you watch the. video you don't you might not. necessarily know how we did that you. might be like dude how did they add a. motor to that thing maybe you're smart. enough to figure it out on your own but. basically there's this hole in the back. of the head where we stuck some PVC pipe.

and Jason kind of stood back there. and he puppeted it he's going to be a. puppeteer he's actually we're announcing. this uh he's going to work for the Jim. Henson company starting tomorrow and. we're going to have to find a. replacement uh but we puppeted that and. that's why you never see the robot make. a move his mouth in a wide shot we. always cut in so we could get the and. then we cut back out so I for a test for. a test of the robot I got in the suit. Jason was like okay I think I've got all. the pieces so I got up in the thing for.

the actual music video for the inside. shots Jason's in the robot and then for. the beat shots his roommate Nick is in. the robot cuz just like the zebra once I. got in that robot. once uh I I realized I wasn't going to. get in there again well we had to be. dancing like some weird strange creepy. mix of the Beach Boys in One Direction. on the beach but the first iteration of. the robot the holes were so small that. once I got in there I couldn't get out. we thought we were going to have to get.

the jaws of life to get link out let's. end this episode but go and watch rub. some bacon on it if you happen to have. missed it I know there's a lot of. squirrely things going on with. subscriptions on YouTube right now and. people are saying they're not getting. videos and you know go watch it you. haven't seen it we've got a link in the. description thanks for sharing it and. let's uh let's do this the wheel how we. going to end this episode that's a week. spin yeah I know I just wanted to get. right to it.
