Testing Crazy Medieval Treatments

*We're knights of the round table! We dance when e're able!*

thats Coal not ashes, ashes are white. and ashes makes soap, oh and most people that survived childhood became 70 - 80

Gotta love how they used activated charcoal to “blacken” their teeth... but activated charcoal is actually a teeth whitener by itself! 😂😂😂😂 I use it every day instead of bleaching my teeth. It whitens then TREMENDOUSLY!!! My teeth are about 5 shades whiter than they were before I started brushing with charcoal. It HAS to be ACTIVATED CHARCOAL though. Not just regular charcoal.

When they said ashes I thought they meant human ashes...

Link should drink ink again..

I don't know whether to be more disturbed by the fact that they put cat poop and vinegar on his arm, or that they peed in a jar... Only after the crew wouldn't.

I can honestly say I'm a pharmacy technician and yes I have used a mortar and pestle

But it is for science!

This further proves that there is nothing that rhett and link won't do for a video

They actually used "stale" urine where they let the water in the pee evaporate. By doing this it left the ammonia which was the actual stain removing agent. You guys just used fresh urine so the ammonia is way less concentrated :)

Ashes contain lye. A strong soap. Urine contains ammonia a strong cleaner as well

You guys should try re create medieval foods or dishes and guess which country or year it is

I was kinda hoping they were gonna put leeches on themselves but this is also ok

They also chewed mint leaves. The hair line was plucked too but the paste was put on at night and left on all night under a swath bandage of gause or linen. If the hair didn't come off in clean lines they plucked with a split stick. This is so funny to watch. I loved reading and learning about the past and old practices but never thought I'd see someone TRY them! Thank you guys! Ashes and urine was also used to tan leather or to work into walking stones to crub them clean. You need white ash for clothes or you can stain the garments. Urin was used for many things and could sold. Hens the turm "piss poor."

The whole time Rhett is trying to get Link to put the cat poop on his arm saying "all the hot ladies did it in medieval times" I'm thinking "ya, those same women also put f'ing lead on their faces!"

This is hilarious. I actually worked at Medieval Times.

There's a reason why people didn't really use white fabric for their outer clothing

It was very interesting to watch though. Thank you.

I'm brave enough to try just about anything, but this stuff is disgusting.

when they were talking about hair removel, there was a add about how to grow your hair

How do humans still exist?

Rhett’s medieval voice is to good

They have GMM trash bins?

Cool, shout out to Bristol Ren Faire!

Will the disease that will make Rhett like cats make him like community college too??!! 😂😂

O, I have cat dung on thee anointed place!

Pharmacy tech here, and sometimes our pharmacists do crush up tablets in a mortar for compounded drugs!

if you have to grind not ash

Tasting each other’s breath is pretty damn gay.

we burn somebody then we take there ashes then we put it on our dirty laundry then we piss on it

ROFL!!! They used charcoal to blacken their teeth but activated-CHARCOAL itself is already a teeth whitener!!! I actually have toothpaste with charcoal in it already made just for that reason. A Whitener.
😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
That’s also why they used ashes in the concoction to clean stains. Charcoal absorbs other chemicals and stains. That’s also why they have people swallow activated-charcoal when they OD on certain drugs. It absorbs the drug before the person can digest it.

I
love you family and friends Hello friends GoodMythicalMorning hello friends RhettandLink hello friends Rhett Hello friends Link Happy Smile

Totally missed opportunity for a sterile joke.

Rhett cloudy urine means you need to go to a kidney doctor. I have to go because mine is cloudy

Rhett sounded like Ice King from Adventure Time 😂😂😂😂

to all yhe people complaining that they used charcoal and not ash, get a life. is it not enought that they literally rubbed cat shit on there arms?

🙄 Good lord. Everyone is the comments is diagnosing Rhett from his urine jar. I hope each one of y’all are taking your own advice🙄 So quick to dish it out. Anyway, there’s way too many variables that can alter the color of your urine, so you can’t make a determination just by sight.

The Middle Ages were magic

cant wait for the new lacroix flavor: “brewed in a bathroom stall that was next to somebody taking a piss

They were wild back in the day

Ha ha

I absolutely adore my cat, but catch me dead rubbing his shit on my forehead.

"i'M gOiNg tO pUt iT iN mY sMaLl MoUtH" -Rhett, 2018

I have watched so much gross stuff in this channel, but the cat poo one really grossed me out.

Me thinking the crazy things the next generation does while watching.....
"I'm glad I was born in 1977"
Sh!t, I'm the same age, this is my generation!!! What have we come to?!?!
Take it as a compliment, you look younger. Happy birthday!

Their wifes arn’t even surprised any more when they say what work was like today.

Dried cat crap, and they wonder why medieval times had so many diseases

Perhaps if the cat thing was real, I’m sure it would be different to now as cats eat incredibly different to what the did in the Middle Ages.

When they use charcoal instead of ash

I love when Link says "Stay hydrated" because he always says that and it's awesome. You should coin that because you use it so much.

Yall need to drink more water

I think about this show a lot...

Icelandic people used to use pee as soap, I'm guessing other people did that as well.

Do they not know they can get Toxoplasmosis with the cat poop?

Both of you need to drink more water. Goodness!

Wow. I hope they boiled that desk for safety afterwards.

Where is a cake ink? (only OG people will know what I mean)

Please, please, PLEASE use your medieval accents at least once a week on GMM from here on out!

ashes work, But not with Urine. Grandmothers in greek villages use them sometimes

"The middle ages were magic"
- ask a mortician

Bruh charcoal cleans yo teeth like in those yippie vegan toothpastes. So if the treatment works, yo teeth gonna be twice as clean. Y’all played yaselves 🤣

The thing these poor guys do to entertain us, lol

touching Cat poop gives you Bi polar disorder.

the dental hygiene actually has scientific basis. the walnuts are abrasive and take loosen the bacteria in the mouth then the alcohol and salt kill bacteria colonies.

"My baby got in the Briar Patch...he's still there but i got his shirt."
😂😂 oh no

Putting things into perspective. 1977? So I just realised Rhett is literally my dad's age 😂😂😂

I'd ask my dad if they used those (he was a pharmacist) but he's dead partly because of pills so I can't ask him. He always had some of those around, I don't know where he got them from though. I always thought they were cool as a kid. If he needed to crush pills he'd use a plastic thing where you just screwed on a cap and it crushed it. But that was for at home. Which was part of the reason he died so young. Don't do drugs kids, or adults, or anyone. Just don't do drugs

10:47 Clipped.

this episode was the worst. just because of the disgusting nature 0of the medieval times..yall were great

Medieval era tech is genuinely fascinating! The dental stuff is literally just brushing your teeth, the cat poop paste was probably meant to be closer to a waxing with plaster or something, and I know wood ash has lye with is used to make soap and urine has ammonia which is another cleaner. All this stuff totally makes sense and it's interesting that we do a lot of the same things, just cleaner and with more exact science.

When I was young, we had a cleaning book that suggested using a mix of cigarette ashes and mayonnaise to clean some marks on wood. Some people claim it works perfectly, but there's no chance I ever try this. I thought this was the worst cleaning method possible, but the ashes and pee method is definitely way worse.

It was a bad idea to eat and watch this video

I know it makes you feel better to say it, but, urine is not sterile! It already has bacteria even before it gets contaminated by your skin as you urinate. There is actually a study to figure out what kinds of bacteria are present in healthy bladders.

Preparing to rub cat poo directly on the skin...puts on gloves.😂

Watching this while eating breakfast was not the smartest move on my part.

okay so no one would pee in a cup for you, but they'd bring in their cat's shit for you? the crew has weird boundaries

Omg, stop showing birth control commercials!

WE ARE THE NIGHTS OF NI

Rhett’s medieval voice has me in hysterics! XD

Y'all need to drink more water lmao

it's good that you're already married, because after seeing this episode no one would be interested!

Urine is actually not sterile... sorry guys 🙃

my parents told me when i was young that chewing on parsley after eating gives you fresh breath!

i had to go wash my hands after the cat poop thing

The urine and charcoal method is not correct, they would first let the urine sit and turn to ammonia"that could take weeks" then use the ammonia to clean clothes etc.

Rhett, your urine appears to be cloudy. This is not normal, although it can sometimes be due to dehydration. Please drink enough water and consult a doctor if it doesn't clear up!

I wish I could be a medieval tea cozy

Wouldn’t the cat poop results very by the cats diet? What did cats eat back then? Not meow mix.

Going medieval on teeth sounds terrifying.

charcoal whitens your teeth though

Turbidity in urine can indicate bacterial issues....however if they stuck it in the fridge, could be condensation....

you guys always make me feel old :-P but at least I know I am 2 years younger than Rhett and 1 year younger than Link :-P

You guys whould be my dentists if i could choose my dentist.

Two episodes in 1 week where they pee in a jar.

Your friendly neighborhood pharmacy tech here to let you know that they do still use mortars and pestles! I work at a compounding pharmacy and the back room where the compounding happens looks like an alchemist's lair :)

😂😂😂😂😂😂
