Using The Worst Tool For The Job

What tool can penetrate a block of frozen beef? Let's talk about that. "Good Mythical Morning.". There's a weird tool out there for every weird job. And as two engineering school grads, I'd like to think we know our way. around a weird tool or two. I mean, I sure know my way around a weird tool. because I sit next to one at this damn desk every day.

Little bit hurtful. Okay boys, before you are two frozen steaks. I see that. Which you'll be attempting. to drill through completely. But to determine what each of your tools will be, you'll need to open those doors behind you. Don't touch 'em yet. Ha ha. Link, you have herpes, so you're gonna go first. That's right, yeah. Go. I carry it dormantly. That's right. Okay. But not actively. Door-mantly.

So go ahead and pick a door, but don't touch it or open it yet. Door number one. Okay, two of these doors are hiding a tool. that you probably won't want, in this case, a screwdriver. And one of them is hiding a much better tool. In this case, a power drill. Yes. Oh. Now I'm going to tell you-. You want that. Where one. of those pesky screwdrivers is.

Please open door number two. Ah, there it is. Okay. Just hanging there. It's just a, well, that's a picture of one. It's a representation-. I thought maybe they wouldn't know. Link, you have a choice. Do you want to stick with your original door, of one, which is hiding either the sole power drill. or the other screwdriver, or do you want to change your pick to the other closed door?

And keep in mind that Rhett's gonna get. whatever tool you don't pick. Well, there's no reason for me to change. I mean, I'm staying with door number one. Okay, go ahead and open door number one. What? Okay, that means- I get door number three. Rhett gets door number three. You wanna open it? You wanna do the honors? Oh, it's a power drill. It barely even fits in there. There it is. All right, let's give out the tools. Okay. And whoever can drill.

through the steak first wins the round. And by the way, the loser of the overall game. will get a nice little punishment. Now, I will point out that-. That's pretty short. The bit on this is a screw bit, it's not a drill bit. Yeah. And it's not really deeper than the steak. Right. Okay. Ready? What am I gonna do? Set, go! In!

Okay. Well, was I through? No. Okay. I mean, I did it. I did it, that was... Through! That was... I bet I could cook it eventually with friction. Wind friction? Wind friction. Okay.

Okay, this time, let's see. who has a better time busting open a pinata. You know the drill, except for there are no drills this round. Rhett, which door do you pick and not touch? Two. One of the doors. is hiding a nice sturdy rain boot. while the other two. are hiding slightly less sturdy pool noodles. Oh God. So, I'm now going to show you where one. of those pool noodles is. Go ahead and open door number three.

There it is. Just a pool noodle. Okay, Rhett, do you want to stick with the door. that you've chosen or you wanna pick the other door? Here's the thing, Stevie. 50-50 chance. Here's the thing. While Link was using the bathroom earlier, Matt Carney and I had a little conversation, and he told me about something. called the Monty Hall problem. This is from the "Let's Make a Deal," Monty Hall host.

I love that show. Well, it turns out. that mathematicians did some mathematizing. and they figured out that while it seems like. it makes no sense to change the door that you've chosen, that there is a statistical advantage. to switch the doors at this point, having no, I don't know why, but they found out. that it actually is more likely that by switching. I will get to the correct tool.

That just does not seem right. It seems so wrong. For you to be talking to him about stuff like this. while I'm in the bathroom. Yeah, well. You shouldn't have, you should have held it. So, you're gonna switch? Yeah. It really seems. like it's still 50-50, but... I don't understand how it works, but I am switching to door number one. Okay. You had a 33% chance. It doesn't make any sense. I'm not a mathematician. I don't, it makes no sense to me. All right, let's see. Let's see what happens.

Open door number one. I did it! It's the boot! What? Monty Hall, thank you. Matt Carney, thank you. What? Ah! Oh, man. Okay, whoever busts first, busts their pinatas first. Yes. What? Gets a point. Ready, set, go! Wow, that's good, Link. That's good, too.

Oh. Okay. So. I did it. I split mine in half. I did it. On the initial. It took me a while. On the initial throw. You want some candy to make up for it? Yes. A cotton candy sucker, what a nightmare. I like a little Starburst. I'll take a Dubble Bubble. Oh, red Starburst. I still don't understand. the statistics though. Okay, well we- How did that work? We were just talking about it.

Oh, that's hard. See if this makes sense. Oh. I'll explain it in the next round. We are moth manifesting spooky vibes this October. with our new Mythical Spooky Collection. Ooh. Now, for all you bigfoot believers, stomp on over to mythical.com and check out a new hoodie, a long sleeve tee, and a glow-in-the-dark keychain. Very cool. Did somebody say. glow-in-the-dark? Glow-in-the-dark. Look at that thing glowing in the dark.

Let me turn it around. Ooh. It's really nice to be able. to find your key chain in the dark. This also glows in the dark so you can find your sternum. Okay. Next, you'll be competing. to see who can completely flatten a can. And Link, since you have herpes, it's your turn to... Still got herpes. Pick the door. And as you make your choice, I will explain.

what I understand about the probability. I'm gonna choose door number three. So, as you're choosing this, you currently have a one in three chance. of getting the right answer, right? Yep. Okay. So, which door do you want me to open, Stevie? Well, okay. Behind one door is a nice strong Ken doll, and then behind two of the doors are stale baguettes. A strong Ken doll? So, one of those baguettes. is in door number one.

Okay, so now, you have a, I know this doesn't make any sense. You have a two out of three chance. of selecting the right thing. There's a two out of three chance. of the right answer being in a new choice. The probability is the same. The probability. Somehow it becomes basically a 66% chance. Two outta three times you will-. I don't believe it.

By switching. I do not believe it. You will now have the right answer because the probability. and the initial one was one outta three, and now it's two outta three. You better be right. Now, it's not guaranteed. No, it's not guaranteed, of course. So I can't prove. or disprove, but I am going to switch to door number two. All right. Yeah! Yeah! It's a Ken doll, it's crazy. Oh my God. I don't understand. Is it 100% chance? No. It's two outta three. And this is a stout Ken doll, I guess. And this is a stale baguette.

Okay, so you can only use these objects. No body weight, hands, forehead, just only these things. By hitting or by pressing? Hitting. Okay, okay. On your marks. Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. Get set, go! What just happened? Well, when you hit it, it moved. Oh. Oh God.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. We gotta hold the, we gotta hold the, hold on. Hod on, hold on, lets, do we have another baguette? Because let's just let, let's just. Oh my God. Oh my God, Ken. He's got a dislocated pelvis. I am suggesting that we bring the back-up in. Oh my God. And we tape it down. But look at my guy. Your guy's a little bit compromised. My guy is compromised. You can repair Ken. In the meantime, we're going to tape this down. What?

All right, repair that Ken, too. Okay. Oh gosh, 'cause you were winning. and that just didn't seem right. New bread. New bread. Put that back on there. Come on, use your brute force. Oh gosh. Okay, all right. Thank you. Okay. On your marks. Well, hold on. I feel like I gotta pull his pants back up. Yeah. Do you though? Ah. Oh. Come on, guys. What in the world?

You can hold that other leg on if you want. That's not gonna do anything. Okay, fine, I didn't do it. Three, two, one. Okay, okay, okay. I think Link's got flatter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Link, Link, Link won. Statistics don't make sense. I don't understand probability. I took two years of it in college, but I had a really detailed cheat sheet.

To be that guy in the comments, it's not statistics is probability. We've made it to our final round. And you're going to be attempting. to make sweet music while blowing out as many candles. as possible from these birthday cakes. Rhett, it's your turn to choose your door. Door number three. Oh. Two of these doors are hiding recorders. Okay. And one is hiding a kazoo.

So, we're gonna find out where one of the recorders is. Go ahead and open door number one. Okay. Now, according to the Monty Hall problem, I should definitely switch. Which so far... Two outta three. But you know, sometimes you gotta just go with your gut. Sometimes you can't trust math. I agree. Sometimes you gotta go with your gut. Yeah. And you have to stick. with door number three. To your guns. I'm sticking with door number three.

Go ahead. Oh, I shoulda switched. What? It's crazy. It's crazy. Look at that kazoo. It's crazy. I need to trust math. Trust math, kids. Okay, let's clock wipe, 'cause we got a lot of candles to light. Yeah. First to blow out all their candles wins. But first you gotta make a wish. What? What? Make a wish before you blow out your candles.

Okay. Blow! What happened over there? Did you? I played a little song. Did you beat me? Yeah. How did he beat me? Hey, we both did so good, man. We were both so fast. You both did so good. But, Link, I'm sorry, you have to be punished. In "Good Mythical More," that's just the rules.

That's just the rules. Did you cheat? No, I played and I actually move my finger at one point. Let some of the air come out the right wrong way. Ooh, that icing is good though. That makes everything okay. Okay, I'll get some of this one then. So, that one can be given to everyone else. Thanks for commenting and sharing this video. Oh, you know what time it is. My name's Nick. And I'm Issa. And we're from Louisiana. And these are our friends. Rhett with a guitar. And Link with a knife. And it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. Woo! Woo! Link with a knife.

Yeah, having fun in a car with us. Pretty good likenesses. Pretty good. You know what, I think it's about time to see goodbye. to this mistletoe. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Get outta here! Why are we keeping that around, huh? It's not, 'tis not the season. You were hoping for something that's never gonna happen.
