1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Please, don't try anything that you're about to see us do at home. Ever.

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:40,000
You're going to shoot fish in a barrel. And Carrie Grantontori risk life and lips in a stomach turning search for the best hot chili cure.

3
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
My mouse on fire!

4
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Then the boys go wild to see if a mouse can really panic a pachyderm.

5
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
You expose the mouse and all hell breaks loose.

6
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Who are the myth busters?

7
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Adam Savage

8
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,000
That was awesome!

9
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
And Jamie Heineman

10
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Must.

11
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Between them more than 30 years of special effects experience.

12
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Rise my son.

13
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Joining them, Grant Imahara.

14
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Warning, warning.

15
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Tori Belachie

16
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
It's getting dangerous now. And that's how we like it.

17
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,000
And Carrie Byron.

18
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000
That is messed up!

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
They don't just tell the myths.

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Wow, it can feel the pressure.

21
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
They put them to the test.

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
The End

23
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
The End

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
The End

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
The End

26
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
So what do we got this time?

27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
We have a proverb, adage, a saying.

28
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Okay, what style or genre of adage do we have?

29
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Well, I'll give you a hint. It refers to something that's really easy.

30
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Easiest pie.

31
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
No, keep going.

32
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Oh, stealing candy from a baby!

33
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Never tried it, but that's not it.

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Oh, shooting fish in a barrel!

35
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000
That's it.

36
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Awesome!

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
And then maybe later we can fit in stealing candy from a baby.

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
If you want to.

39
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Jamie and Adam won't be the first to destroy an innocent barrel.

40
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:20,000
But they might be the first to seriously test if shooting fish inside a barrel is as easy as it sounds.

41
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Well, so the plan seems strangely easy on this one, but we can't use real live fish.

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
I mean, we'll run into trouble from everybody on that front.

43
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Yeah, well, okay. Why don't we go to the fish market and get something that's already on ice,

44
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
and then I'll bring it back to life, my way.

45
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Okay, that's a good if creepy plan.

46
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Over at the seafood store, Adam soon finds he's way out of his depth.

47
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
He's more a fish finger fancier.

48
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Oh, look, look, look, I've got a slot here so you can wear him like a mitten.

49
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
That's great. You can keep your hands warm.

50
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:01,000
First, Adam and Jamie have to agree on a species they think typifies your average fish.

51
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
He's beautiful. Look at that.

52
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
How you doing, Jamie? You got a soup in a bottle?

53
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
You know, I've actually animated these things to do exactly that.

54
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Really?

55
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Yeah.

56
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
It was a trout though.

57
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,000
It was a trout?

58
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,000
A big one.

59
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Out for this myth.

60
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
But it should be just as easy to stuff a tiny motor inside a dead snapper,

61
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
so it shimmies just like a live one.

62
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
That's the plan anyway.

63
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
We got some small fish. We got some medium-sized fish.

64
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
And we got some nice, large fish.

65
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Back at M5, Jamie fine-tunes a tiny electric motor

66
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000
that should reanimate his catch of the day.

67
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
I've got an off-center crank like there.

68
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
I've got a piece of piano wire going through it

69
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000
and then a piece of brass tubing that's silver-soldered onto an eye.

70
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
This evil genius has just made a Franken-fish.

71
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,000
It's no stretch for Jamie to replace entrails with electronics.

72
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Oh, look, he looks great.

73
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
It looks like he swam right away.

74
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
And he needs more flotation.

75
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Look, he looks terrific though.

76
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Yeah, he's actually, the machine's actually working.

77
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
A fish's flotation bladder stops working when it's dead,

78
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000
so Jamie adds an extra tube of buoyant plastic.

79
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000
We are almost ready to go.

80
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
We've got our blast chamber set up around a full barrel of water,

81
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
and in a very little while, I'm going to lower Jamie's Franken-fish into that water.

82
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000
He's going to climb a ladder with a 9-millimeter pistol and take a shot at that fish.

83
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,000
For the first time ever, we're shooting fish in a barrel on TV.

84
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Jamie Heineberg, our own specialist sharpshooter.

85
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Unholsters his trusty 9-mil.

86
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000
He aims true and pulls the trigger.

87
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
He's blown the bunk, but more improbably, he's missed the target.

88
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
This X-fish hasn't suffered a post-mortem scratch.

89
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
You see any bullet holes?

90
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
I'm seeing you at all.

91
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,000
And it was still flipping.

92
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,000
It was still flapping, so yeah, you obviously didn't hit it in the torso.

93
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Obviously, and let's pause to consider that a fish is pretty much all torso.

94
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Still, Adam's prepared to do whatever it takes to make life easier for the maestro.

95
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:21,000
A coat of white paint and two windows and a new barrel should clear things up for Jamie and the camera.

96
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Well, we need to know what's going on inside of this, and so to aid us both with camera and our eyes,

97
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
I've got a couple of windows.

98
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000
This is the bottom. My head is sticking out of the bottom of the barrel,

99
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000
and we're also going to be able to look through the sides here.

100
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,000
It all seems so simple, but shooting fish in a barrel is no slam dunk.

101
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Also, if you remember that even the 9-millimeter that Jamie fired in here was enough to make the bung-hole release and start this view of water.

102
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000
I think we all remember what happened last time we fired a gun into a water tank in Jamie's shop.

103
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Ah, the memories come flooding back.

104
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
You ain't called those cords out, just yank them out.

105
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:03,000
All they proved here was that it's best to do this kind of test at someone else's place.

106
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:10,000
So rather than spill a bunch more water in here, I think we take this experimental platform out on the road and go somewhere we can spill water.

107
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000
And hopefully hit the target.

108
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:20,000
What's going around? Okay, go! Wait!

109
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,000
What?

110
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
A little bit more like that. Like that, okay.

111
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Hey, what are you guys doing?

112
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
You like spicy food?

113
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
No, I hate spicy food. And what does it have to do with a piñata?

114
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Okay.

115
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Chili! The fans want us to test hot chili cures for a spicy mouth.

116
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,000
We've all done it. We've all regretted it.

117
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000
And eventually, we'll do it again.

118
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,000
So what is the very best remedy for a deadly dose of hot chilies?

119
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Tori and Grant put their tongues on the line so they can get a little bit of a bite.

120
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,000
So we have our chilies. We have a whole range of mythical cures from the fan site.

121
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,000
I say we eat the chilies, see which of the cures work the best.

122
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,000
And when I say we, I mean you guys, because I need to administer the test scientifically.

123
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
But doesn't everybody know that milk is the best cure for hot chili mouth?

124
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Which we will test. But there are a lot of cures that are not quite as predictable as milk.

125
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Like what?

126
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Oh well, water, beer, and so on.

127
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
There are a lot of cures that are not quite as predictable as milk.

128
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Like what?

129
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Oh well, water, beer, toothpaste, wasabi, petroleum jelly.

130
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Petroleum jelly? Who eats petroleum jelly?

131
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,000
To win the war, it helps to know your enemy.

132
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Dave DeWitt's written over 30 books on fiery foods, and he understands your pain.

133
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,000
This is a chemical reaction. Just like you have taste buds in your mouth,

134
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,000
you have capsaicin receptors. Capsaicin being the ingredient that makes chili peppers hot.

135
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Capsaicin molecules from the chili bond with receptors inside the mouth.

136
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,000
The same receptors also register pain from heat.

137
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,000
That's why it feels like your tongue's on fire.

138
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,000
So we're planning on testing this ourselves. This is something that's been on my mind.

139
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Can you die from eating a chili that's too hot?

140
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,000
You could die. It would probably be a suffocation.

141
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Why suffocation?

142
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Just your lungs would completely shut down if you consumed too much of it.

143
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Having picked his pack of peppers, Grant delivers a bag full to the Mythbusters kitchen.

144
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000
It's up to Carey to choose his poison.

145
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Habaneros are way too hot, and I have a feeling Grant's going to be a little sensitive this as it is.

146
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,000
So I'm starting at a middle ground, which is just the basic plain old jalapeno.

147
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:50,000
I'm going to chop off the stems, and I'm going to put the whole jalapeno in there. Seeds, skin, everything.

148
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Carey picks the mildest chili she has. They're all concerned for lab rat number one.

149
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000
And that would be Grant.

150
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Grant doesn't like spicy food. Grant doesn't eat spicy food.

151
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,000
So he's bound to suffer way worse than this.

152
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Ahem.

153
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,000
Oblivious to all warnings, Grant and Tori set the scene.

154
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,000
This is to try to make us ignore the pain of the peppers.

155
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,000
It's a party.

156
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Then get dressed for success.

157
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Sombreros, boots, and bandoliers, a desperately cliched battle looms between the tragically uncool, the undeniably hot,

158
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000
and these two idiots.

159
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Go ahead. Make my chili.

160
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Coming up, Adam and Jamie finally find their range.

161
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,000
I killed it.

162
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,000
And a chili myth gets very, very warm.

163
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:19,000
If there's anything more useful, more fun, or downright fascinating than a barrel, well, I haven't seen it.

164
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Adam and Jamie are hell-bent on testing a myth that's never been challenged.

165
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Apparently, there's nothing easier than shooting fish in a barrel.

166
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,000
So we went so far as to call the writer of the American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms,

167
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,000
and we could still not come up with an answer about the origin of the phrase shooting fish in a barrel.

168
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Well, up to about 100 years ago, it was the most common way of storing fish.

169
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
They were salted and packed in a barrel.

170
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Right, but there is no information that we have that leads us to understand whether it means shooting a fish packed to the brim in a barrel

171
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
or a barrel full of water and some live fish.

172
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000
The answer is just not out there.

173
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Well, however you look at it, it's kind of stupid, but that's never stopped us before, has it?

174
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,000
No, it hasn't.

175
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Sadly, that's true.

176
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Crack shot Jamie Hyneman, who once destroyed a one-inch sniper scope from 100 yards away,

177
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:16,000
recently missed a big fat dead fish from a distance of three feet.

178
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Are you seeing both holes?

179
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
I don't see any at all.

180
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Bent on a better result and less mess, the boys relocate to an outdoor shooting range.

181
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Adam rolls out the barrel and Jamie puts the spark back in his snapper.

182
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,000
He's alive.

183
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Frankenfish is duly dangled in the renovated barrel, but will a new window and fresh white paint give Jamie the edge on a dead fish?

184
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Jamie, that is so messed up.

185
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,000
In three, two, one.

186
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000
I think he's still squirming.

187
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:58,000
This time Jamie scored a hit right below the eye, and that's got Adam all fired up.

188
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Well, Jamie was successful in hitting Frankenfish with a bullet, but not where he was aiming,

189
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,000
and this guy was still squirming around when we pulled him out of the water,

190
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,000
so I think it's only right that I get a chance to see if I can put him out of his mechanical misery.

191
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Yes, I can.

192
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,000
So Adam mounts the ladder of death.

193
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000
He takes aim and hits the fish.

194
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,000
I killed it.

195
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Whether it's the sunshine or the bright new barrel, this is starting to look a lot easier than it did back in the shop.

196
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,000
But what if the fish are much, much smaller?

197
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:39,000
The myth doesn't specify the mass, so Adam prepares some bait-sized plastic lures.

198
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000
It's the dead fish Christmas tree.

199
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,000
And it's fair to assume some latitude with the weapon of choice.

200
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,000
I think it's time to shoot a bunch of small fish with a bigger gun.

201
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:57,000
We've got nine pellets of double-odd buck, and if I'm really good, I'll get nine fish.

202
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Three, two, one.

203
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:06,000
I didn't get wet at all.

204
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
How are you doing?

205
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,000
That's great, Adam.

206
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Much better you stay dry than all this expensive equipment.

207
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,000
So damage assessment proceeds the old-fashioned way.

208
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000
The truth of the phrase now hangs in the balance.

209
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,000
But incredibly, the buck shot seems to have missed everything.

210
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,000
I don't see any hits on any of these fish.

211
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000
No hits here.

212
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Okay.

213
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Then finally, a ray of destructive hope.

214
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Okay, here's a big hit. That's good.

215
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,000
Ah, that's a hit. Right through the eye. That was the one I was shooting for.

216
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000
You were aiming for fish plural in a barrel.

217
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
And although your percentage is relatively small,

218
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000
let's say you hit fish plural in a barrel.

219
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Rod Jamie's hit just three from 30 of these tiny targets.

220
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Does a measly 10% hit rate confirm or refute the fabled simplicity of shooting fish in a barrel?

221
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:10,000
That's not all that impressive, but I gotta say that the rest of those fish, I don't think it'd be too happy.

222
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,000
You know, they might all be dead from a shockwave for all we know.

223
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Ah, that's right.

224
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Back at the cantina, Tori and Grant prepare to suck it up in the name of science.

225
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Once again, I find another way to humiliate myself on Mythbusters.

226
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Carries blended a not-so-secret sauce of pure jalapenos.

227
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Potential hot chili cures suggested by fans range from beer to toothpaste to petroleum jelly.

228
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Petroleum jelly in your mouth? Are you kidding me? I'm not doing that.

229
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,000
But that's the least of Grant's concerns.

230
00:14:50,000 --> 00:15:02,000
This is an interesting situation for me because it will be the spiciest thing I've ever eaten and the most of any spice ever.

231
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,000
So I hope my head doesn't explode.

232
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Chili experts swear that rich dairy products offer the best pain relief.

233
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:18,000
The theory is that the fat in dairy helps neutralize the pain caused by the oily capsaicin.

234
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Anything too watery, it's believed, just won't do the job.

235
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,000
So milk is set to be our control cure.

236
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
How are we gonna do this?

237
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Now we're gonna start off with whole fat milk. This is our tried and true, ready to soothe your mouth control.

238
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:42,000
We know it works. You're going to put half a teaspoon of this jalapeno puree in your mouth, swirl it around for 10 seconds.

239
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Now after that you're gonna spit it out.

240
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:54,000
Then you're gonna wait 30 seconds and go for the cure.

241
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Milk.

242
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:03,000
We need a rating system between 1 and 10 on how well this cure works. This is our control will be 5, so it'll be less or more than the milk.

243
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:09,000
So whatever relief the boys feel for milk, they'll rate a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10.

244
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000
If any subsequent cure is better than milk, they'll rate it 6 or over.

245
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
I don't even need milk. It's not really that hot.

246
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:21,000
But there's a problem. It's not so much grants squealing like new tires in a car park.

247
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:27,000
It's that Tori hasn't braised a sweat. And you can't soothe what doesn't hurt to begin with.

248
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:33,000
You know, I don't know why the jalapenos aren't affecting me that much. I mean, I do eat a lot of spicy food.

249
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
And Grant, as we all recall, does not.

250
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:44,000
As far as the milk goes, I'm happy with that as a cure. But I really can't imagine more pain in my mouth than that.

251
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Let's just say I don't really have to experience that ever again in my life.

252
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Actually, he does. Over and over again.

253
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:58,000
But Grant won't have to eat Carey's deadly new paste of much hotter habanero peppers,

254
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,000
made real special just for Tori.

255
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Oh my God, it's serious. It's like an apome. Look at this stuff.

256
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:11,000
To put that into perspective, the bell pepper scores 0 on the standard Scoville heat scale.

257
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:20,000
The jalapenos range from 2,500 to 10,000 units. Habaneros from 80,000 to 300,000.

258
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:26,000
And the But Jalokia, the world's hottest pepper, rings the bell at 1 million.

259
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Tori should now feel the burn just as badly as Grant.

260
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:36,000
And once that burn kicks in, the first thing most of us reach for is plain old water.

261
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,000
I think the theory behind the water is very simple. You have a fire, you throw water on it.

262
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:46,000
So the boys suck, then spit their respective pepper poisons.

263
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,000
You've got 30 seconds to wait before you drink the water.

264
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,000
With each passing second, the pain increases. This time for both of them.

265
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,000
But will water be a better cure than milk?

266
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
One, cure it.

267
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:09,000
I have to say that's about a three.

268
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Because once the water goes away, it stops working. See how, like even after it's gone,

269
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,000
alright, let's give it a three and a half.

270
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,000
So water doesn't cut the mustard. But thanks to a rash of seriously strange,

271
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,000
fan-side cures, there's worse, much worse to come.

272
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,000
After the break, Jamie and Adam change tack for an explosive ceasefire.

273
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
That doesn't sound right to me.

274
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Aside from apple pies and baseball, there's nothing more wholesome,

275
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,000
more American than going fishing.

276
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:56,000
So far, Adam and Jamie have done their best to show how easy it is to shoot the suckers in barrels

277
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
with some success.

278
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,000
I killed it!

279
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,000
They've shot big and little fish with pistols and shotguns.

280
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,000
But Jamie's had a brain explosion. We've all seen dynamite fishing,

281
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,000
and he thinks the shock waves from bullets in barrels could be just as lethal.

282
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
You know, I think your intuition out there is correct.

283
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,000
It might not be the bullets that's going to kill these fish, but the pressure wave.

284
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Well, maybe we should get some sensors and put them in the barrel and verify that.

285
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,000
A sudden explosion in water causes a rapid rise, then fall of pressure.

286
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:37,000
It's thought that either wave is enough to turn unsuspecting flounder into instant fish stings.

287
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:44,000
So Adam turns to an expert, Bart Shepard, of Steinhard Aquarium, for confirmation.

288
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:50,000
I guess the question is, how reactive would fish in general be to something like a shock wave caused by a bullet?

289
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Very, very sensitive.

290
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,000
Fish have a highly developed lateral line system that's sensitive to those kinds of changes in pressure

291
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,000
that they use for orientation and sort of communication amongst themselves.

292
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Do you think if we fire a bullet or even a shotgun slug into a barrel

293
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000
that we would end up killing all the fish within that barrel?

294
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,000
I'd expect to see trauma on the gills. They're very sensitive.

295
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,000
They will collapse on each other, and probably all the blood vessels in there would be ruptured.

296
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,000
I would expect to see some trauma in the eyes, certainly those areas.

297
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000
And would that kill a fish?

298
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,000
It would certainly compromise it. Depending on the force that you were exerting, I think you could kill it, yes.

299
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,000
So Bart confirms the theory that you don't have to hit the fish to kill them,

300
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
and that could make things a darn sight easier.

301
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Adam and Jamie crunch the numbers from tests on humans working long periods underwater and under pressure.

302
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:53,000
And what we concluded is that any fish will receive mortal injuries if it receives more than 215 decibels underwater.

303
00:20:53,000 --> 00:21:00,000
The equivalent of that in pounds per square inch of pressure is 8.15. That's our magic bullet number.

304
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:07,000
This fancy pressure sensor should prove once and for all if shock waves from a gunshot are fatal to fish.

305
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:12,000
That magic number to those playing at home is 8.18.

306
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:17,000
9 mil pressure in 3, 2, 1.

307
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,000
The reading doesn't look right. 0.5 psi.

308
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000
That doesn't sound right to me.

309
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Doesn't sound right to anyone.

310
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Fact is this clever instrument isn't fast enough to read the high speed impact of a bullet.

311
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,000
It's time for a patented myth buster plan B.

312
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:45,000
What do we use the shock watches? You know those stick on throw away shock sensors.

313
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:50,000
God it's so funny those always turn out to be the like most reliable way of measuring trauma.

314
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Absolutely let's try it. Let's get them in the barrel and take another shot.

315
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Okay.

316
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:00,000
These stick on patches are mostly used to tell if a package is dropped or bashed in the mail.

317
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,000
They don't measure pressure in pounds per square inch, but in g-force.

318
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:15,000
We have them in 50, 75 and 100 Gs which basically means injured, mortally wounded, lethal, that kind of thing.

319
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:23,000
If we have the 50 G go off even in this test, I believe it's a safe indication that a fish would have been damaged.

320
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:30,000
So three differently rated shock watches are stuck fast on a metal sheet, then dunked in the barrel.

321
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:37,000
If the blast trips even the most sensitive patch, Jamie figures that any fish would be dead in the water.

322
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Alright, shock watch test, 9mm in 3, 2, 1.

323
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Uh oh, the barrel bung is an instant casualty, but so what? The boys have bigger fish to fry.

324
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000
It looks like it tripped all three.

325
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,000
It did.

326
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Yeah, I can see the red spill here.

327
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Definitely.

328
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000
It got the lower two quicker, but it did trip the green one too.

329
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,000
These tiny red spots show that all three patches burst like bubble wrap in a bear hug.

330
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
And it means you don't even have to aim at the stupid fish.

331
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,000
You can just open fire and it all floats to the top, right?

332
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
It's not very sporting though, is it?

333
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,000
No.

334
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,000
That's an definitive myth confirmed.

335
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Even when Jamie hit just three from 30, the other 27 were headed for plastic fish heaven.

336
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000
But surely they can't leave it here.

337
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Well, I gotta say it didn't happen the way I thought it was going to happen, but this expression is looking pretty confirmed.

338
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Well, you don't think we're going to leave it there, do you?

339
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,000
You're going to take shooting fish in a barrel to some kind of extreme?

340
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,000
What do you think?

341
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000
He thinks what we all think.

342
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Jamie's planned a fireworks finish with no regard for cost or consequence.

343
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Jamie's putting this myth to bed still on style.

344
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Wow!

345
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Coming up on Mythbusters.

346
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,000
What does the world's largest land mammal have to fear?

347
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Except for fear itself.

348
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Still to come, Grant and Tori get real close to tossing their cookies.

349
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,000
That didn't work at all.

350
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,000
It's just nasty.

351
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Tori and Grant are putting their tongues and lips on the line to test the best ever bomb for hot chili mouth.

352
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:32,000
So far, they've testified that full fat milk beats tap water.

353
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:37,000
They're waiting a full day between each test, so their mouths get a chance to recover.

354
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Now, for two cures, we also desperately want to work. Beer and spirits.

355
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:50,000
The idea here is that the alcohol in the beer will dissolve the capsaicin better than just plain water.

356
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000
There's not a whole lot of science to support that.

357
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000
And let's not forget that beer is mostly water.

358
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000
This is a very common cure, because you're in a restaurant,

359
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,000
the first thing you reach for when your mouth's on fire, could be a beer.

360
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,000
As always, the boys hold their chili for 10 seconds.

361
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,000
Wait an agonizing half minute.

362
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,000
It's pretty hot.

363
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Then reach for relief.

364
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Can I get another one?

365
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000
What was your rating on beer?

366
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
What did I rate water?

367
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Three.

368
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,000
I think I'd rate it about the same.

369
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Is it as good as milk?

370
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,000
I would give it.

371
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
I'm going to give it a four.

372
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Spirits are around eight times stronger than beer.

373
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:41,000
So if the theory holds true, tequila should be eight times more effective.

374
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,000
But Tori has his doubts.

375
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Tequila burns your mouth.

376
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:50,000
So it could actually make this, the whole burning sensation, worse.

377
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,000
He's about to learn to trust his instincts.

378
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,000
What's your rating?

379
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000
One to ten.

380
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,000
Hotter.

381
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000
It intensifies it.

382
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,000
One to ten.

383
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Where are you at?

384
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Negative 20.

385
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,000
But both of them swish before they swallow.

386
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Once the numbness kicks in, they revise the ratings.

387
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Tori gives tequila a four and Grant a three.

388
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:26,000
I think tequila is a cure for hot, spicy mouth the way it's a cure for ugly.

389
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Just numbs it a little bit.

390
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
Look at them.

391
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000
They look like they're all right.

392
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,000
And that's the last of what we like to call the conventional cures.

393
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:41,000
One recovery day later and Carrie has the first questionable cure.

394
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Well, the idea is that the gel toothpaste has a higher sugar content.

395
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,000
You put it at the apex of your tongue and it should cool your whole mouth.

396
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Tori and Grant pray that toothpaste won't be tortured.

397
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,000
But it's not looking likely.

398
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000
My mouth's on fire!

399
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000
That's like when you have a cut and you pour Tabasco sauce on it.

400
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,000
You do that?

401
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,000
No, I'm just saying like, have you ever done that?

402
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,000
No?

403
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Okay, maybe it's just me.

404
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
This did not work at all.

405
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Toothpaste?

406
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:17,000
Toothpaste stays in the bathroom, not on the dinner table.

407
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Something else you rarely reach for at dinner is petroleum jelly.

408
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Nobody's explained exactly why this is supposed to help,

409
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
but it'll be a miracle if it does.

410
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,000
My prediction is that we are going to get dry heaves.

411
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,000
I think somebody is going to get close to vomiting.

412
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Now there's a pep talk for you.

413
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:41,000
Kerry saved two of the most disgusting, most insane remedies till the very end.

414
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Pop quiz.

415
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,000
What do you think Mousophobia is a fear of?

416
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,000
And I'll give you a hint.

417
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,000
It's one of the most common phobias out there.

418
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
Fear of moses?

419
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000
No, it's in fact a fear of mice.

420
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
And that's what our next myth is about.

421
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,000
It's a myth of David versus Goliath proportions.

422
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:18,000
A scream and a stampede later, and well, you know the rest.

423
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000
I'm guessing the plan here is pretty simple.

424
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Why don't you spell it out for me?

425
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Well, we get some elephants and some ice and see what happens.

426
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Right.

427
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Well, the circus is coming to town.

428
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000
I don't want to use a circus elephant.

429
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,000
They're trained.

430
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,000
I think we need a real elephant, something out of the wild.

431
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,000
So we need to go somewhere where elephants wander in the wild.

432
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Africa, let's go to Africa.

433
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Last time they were here, they put their lives

434
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,000
and their lunches on the line

435
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,000
when they put great white shark myths to the test in South Africa.

436
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Oh, wow!

437
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:01,000
But for this myth, they're looking for something a little less lethal.

438
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,000
The target species here is the African elephant,

439
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,000
and they're not hard to find.

440
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Welcome to Aqualatsafaris.

441
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Thank you.

442
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,000
We've brought a bucketful of mice.

443
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Yes.

444
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
I understand you have some elephants.

445
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,000
We do indeed, yes.

446
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,000
We've also got the lions, the leopards, the big five.

447
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,000
Behind me are our test subject elephants.

448
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Now, these guys are semi-habituated,

449
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,000
which is the only reason I'm allowed to be this close.

450
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,000
If we were actually in the wild, this would be extremely dangerous.

451
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,000
I've seen elephants in zoos.

452
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
I've seen them in the Discovery Channel,

453
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000
but being up close to them in their natural environment

454
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
is something else, they're wonderful creatures.

455
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000
Back in the safety of the truck,

456
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,000
the boys need to work out just how to get their miniscule mice

457
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000
next to these massive mammals.

458
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,000
All right, so the elephants are over there.

459
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,000
We've got their arch nemesis right here.

460
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,000
How are we going to get this mouse to those elephants?

461
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Slingshot.

462
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Okay, seriously.

463
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,000
We need to improvise some kind of mouse delivery system,

464
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000
something that won't freak out the elephants.

465
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,000
Well, where there are elephants, there's elephant dung.

466
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,000
So maybe we get a ball of dung and we'll dig a hole in it,

467
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,000
put the mouse in it, and then we'll just yank it over.

468
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Pull the string.

469
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,000
Yeah.

470
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
You take your piece of elephant dung,

471
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,000
and you take your mouse.

472
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,000
This is a stand-in mouse.

473
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,000
The real one will be later.

474
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Put them in the hole, cover them with a cardboard.

475
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Lay it out, and think elephants are going to come on by.

476
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,000
And wait in the distance with your monofilament.

477
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,000
When the elephant gets near, you expose the mouse,

478
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000
and all hell breaks loose.

479
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000
We've chosen this area because it's open enough

480
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
that we can see what's going on.

481
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,000
We know there's some food over in that direction,

482
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
and we're hoping that the elephants will come through here

483
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,000
on the way to the food, and at the right moment,

484
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,000
we'll roll over the ball of dung, release the mouse,

485
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000
and see what happens.

486
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Hey, Adam, are you done yet?

487
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,000
I'm all set.

488
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Ready to go.

489
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Well, with everything ready to go,

490
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,000
all that's left is to get some fairly predictable predictions.

491
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,000
For me, I see this the same way I would see a person

492
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,000
looking at a fly on the ground.

493
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,000
It's going to be so small that you may not even notice it.

494
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,000
I don't see any reason why an elephant would be afraid of a mouse.

495
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,000
I don't have high hopes for this myth.

496
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,000
With the sensible money on the no reaction theory,

497
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000
it's go time.

498
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,000
The elephants innocently approach the dung-goof-doom

499
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,000
in what must be the most easy to anticipate outcome

500
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
in Mythbusters history.

501
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:39,000
But then, as crazy as it seems, the elephant backs away.

502
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,000
The Mythbusters, like me, are flabbergasted.

503
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,000
What just happened is a classic Mythbusters scenario.

504
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,000
We were all like, yeah, right, this little guy's going to

505
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000
scare those big guys.

506
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,000
And it did.

507
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,000
I mean, our jaws just dropped because it was clear as day.

508
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,000
The mouse came out, the elephant stopped in its tracks,

509
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,000
like, whoa, and then it gently tiptoed away

510
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,000
as if this thing was deadly.

511
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:14,000
We all thought this was never going to happen, yet there it was.

512
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000
There it was, clear as day.

513
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,000
But with the result as unbelievable as that,

514
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,000
we can't call it yet.

515
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Next up, Adam, Jamie, a mouse, and an elephant play chicken.

516
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,000
He definitely seemed to take notice of the mouse.

517
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,000
So far, Tori and Grant have suffered and sweated

518
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:46,000
through a bunch of so-called cures for hot chili mouth.

519
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Yeah, that did the exact opposite of relieving the pain.

520
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
None of them worked as well as milk.

521
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:57,000
And the final two risky remedies sound more like torches than relief.

522
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,000
The first is petroleum jelly.

523
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Wait a minute, there's a hair in mine.

524
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,000
The jelly is oil-based, so it should work.

525
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,000
But the boys can't get past that extra texture.

526
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,000
That didn't work at all. It's just nasty.

527
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,000
Tori rates it a two, and Grant gives it a one.

528
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000
Four points worse than milk.

529
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,000
That test was disgusting.

530
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,000
That lived up to all my expectations, which were none.

531
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000
And there's no relief in sight.

532
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:31,000
Unless wasabi proves you really can fight fire with fire.

533
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:36,000
My prediction for this cure? Pain. And lots of it.

534
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Kerry's doing this last sadistic test one victim at a time.

535
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,000
And Tori's the first to watch and worry.

536
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
How does your mouth feel?

537
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
I forgot about the chili.

538
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,000
How do you rate wasabi?

539
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,000
It's like minus ten, minus a hundred.

540
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Strong hysterical words from a man who's clearly reached his limits.

541
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Now it's Tori's turn to test his.

542
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Kind of nice.

543
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,000
It's kind of like a Mexican-Japanese fusion.

544
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Unbelievable.

545
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:17,000
Tori not only rates wasabi a three for pain relief, he actually enjoyed it.

546
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,000
Alright, so wasabi.

547
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,000
Yeah, it's like...

548
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,000
Surprise hit over here. Total misery over here.

549
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,000
I cannot believe that.

550
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,000
It's weird.

551
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,000
It is weird. There's no accounting for taste or tolerance.

552
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,000
But there's one thing both boys agree on.

553
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Nothing beats full fat milk as a hot chili cure.

554
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:58,000
You know, testing these chili cures is probably one of the most painful things I've done in a long time.

555
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:03,000
If you want to see Grant and me get our revenge on Carrie at one of the hottest Thai food restaurants in town,

556
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,000
go to discovery.com slash mythbusters and check it out.

557
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,000
He must have had the most unexpected result in mythbusters history.

558
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,000
It looks like it's true that elephants are scared of mice.

559
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,000
That was amazing. The elephant totally avoided the mouse.

560
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:44,000
He looked down, saw it, backed up, made a wide berth around this little guy.

561
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Working under the assumption that it must have been the movement of the dung that freaked the alley out,

562
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:54,000
the boys reset for take two. Dung movement only.

563
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,000
But this time the elephant was undeterred.

564
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,000
This is getting ridiculous.

565
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000
He didn't seem to respond to the ball of dung at all,

566
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,000
and I think my timing was exactly the same as it was with the mouse in there.

567
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,000
It works for me. Elephants are afraid of mice.

568
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Not only was I totally wrong in the first test about the elephant not reacting at all to the mouse,

569
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,000
but after it happened I was sure that it was the dung movement.

570
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000
I was absolutely positive that it was a dung movement.

571
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,000
So we do another test of the dung moves, the elephant doesn't even notice.

572
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,000
It has to have been the mouse.

573
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,000
Working on the basis that science is repeatable,

574
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:40,000
the boys are going to retry test one to see if they still get this incredible result.

575
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Alright, let's see what happens.

576
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,000
For the final time, the elephants approach.

577
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:52,000
And lo and behold in this David and Goliath battle, David wins again.

578
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,000
He definitely seemed to take notice of the mouse.

579
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Like it was a significantly different thing than just the dung.

580
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,000
I wasn't dreading this result.

581
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,000
I'm always pleased to be completely wrong.

582
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:11,000
I'm more astonished that I'm finishing the day calling something plausible

583
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,000
that I knew wasn't possible when I got up this morning.

584
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:19,000
He definitely didn't freak out, but he was very cautious.

585
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,000
The mouse had his attention.

586
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:25,000
It's that little grain of truth that we always look for in a myth, and there it was.

587
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
There it was indeed.

588
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,000
So with the mouse safe and well despite Adam's best efforts

589
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,000
and the elephants ready to move on, it's time to wrap this one up.

590
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000
How are we going to call this one?

591
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Well, it wasn't a stampede.

592
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,000
It wasn't like the cartoons and the elephant freaked out at the sight of the mouse.

593
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,000
But the idea that the elephant was cautious around the mouse,

594
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,000
I'd say we have to call that plausible.

595
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,000
I'd agree.

596
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,000
What do you think?

597
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Hello.

598
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:04,000
Coming up, shooting fish in a barrel draws to its logical and lethal conclusion.

599
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Wow!

600
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,000
So far, Adam and Jamie have shown just how easy it is to shoot fish in a barrel.

601
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Wow!

602
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,000
It turns out they could have proved this myth blindfolded.

603
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,000
The shockwave alone is enough to turn any fish belly up.

604
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,000
And it means you don't even have to aim at the stupid fish.

605
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,000
You can just open fire and it'll all float to the top, right?

606
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Still, it's better to end with a bang than with a bang.

607
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,000
So Jamie decides to push this myth to the max.

608
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:39,000
It's a finish so special, so secretive, that even Adam's been kept in the dark.

609
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
There?

610
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,000
Where are we?

611
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,000
We're right here.

612
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,000
What's that?

613
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,000
Why don't you stay right here? I'll be out in a second.

614
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,000
Jamie's called in a few minutes.

615
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,000
I'm going to get a little bit of a break.

616
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,000
Jamie's called in a very big favor.

617
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:06,000
One mad hour with a kick-ass M134 minigun.

618
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,000
No way!

619
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,000
And the ammo is thrown in for free.

620
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,000
Thank God for that.

621
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Wow!

622
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:27,000
This state-of-the-art assault gun shoots up to 3,000 rounds a minute.

623
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,000
That's 50 bullets every second.

624
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:41,000
I'm no crime-seat investigator, but I strongly suspect that someone's been firing a gun in the vicinity of this car.

625
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,000
Oh my gosh!

626
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,000
And look at the backside.

627
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,000
We did almost cut it in half.

628
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,000
Look at that!

629
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Jamie's used an old steel barrel to get his eye in.

630
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,000
It's like a lace curtain.

631
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,000
So can we get to the fish?

632
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
Yeah, let's get a real barrel out here and get a fish in it.

633
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Alright.

634
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Come on faster. What are you getting paid by the hour?

635
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Shut it.

636
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,000
I'll make you stand on the barrel.

637
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,000
I'll shoot it out. I'm under you.

638
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,000
In high spirits, Adam prepares the venue.

639
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:21,000
And Jamie supplies the victim, a 3-foot sea bass, straight from the seafood shop.

640
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,000
So we've got a brand new barrel.

641
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:27,000
We've got a nice big fish and the biggest gun we've ever had on the show.

642
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:33,000
We need to stress that no fish have been or will be injured in filming this myth.

643
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,000
And they're mostly blown to pieces.

644
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,000
Fish in a barrel.

645
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:43,000
In three, two, one.

646
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:57,000
What do you think?

647
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,000
I said keep going.

648
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,000
More?

649
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,000
I think you go more.

650
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,000
We want more?

651
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,000
We want more.

652
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Did I hear more?

653
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,000
How about everybody at home? You want more?

654
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,000
Yeah, everyone at home wants more.

655
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,000
Alright then.

656
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,000
More it is.

657
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Fireing.

658
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Your traditional cooper makes a very sturdy barrel.

659
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,000
But they were never meant to cope with this.

660
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Safety's on.

661
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Double safety.

662
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,000
Nice work. Let's go inspect and see if that fish has been hit.

663
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:41,000
It's high time our forensic investigators confirm the cause of death.

664
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,000
Oh man, that is nasty.

665
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,000
The head's left.

666
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,000
That's nasty stuff.

667
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,000
Did you say that was pretty easy?

668
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Yeah, it was almost as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.

669
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,000
I think our work here is done.

670
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,000
Remember that this myth is delightfully vague.

671
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:09,000
All they needed was some kind of fish and some kind of barrel.

672
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,000
And they've blown it to bits.

673
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Confirmed.

674
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Yeah, I think given the right gun and the right barrel,

675
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,000
shooting fish in a barrel is super easy.

676
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Let's go home.

677
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,000
Are you guys doing okay? You're still looking a little green.

678
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,000
He's trying to say it's our taste but still haven't recovered.

679
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:42,000
We ever forgive the fans for coming up with so many different hot chili cures.

680
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,000
I want to find the person who suggested wasabi and feed it to them.

681
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,000
You know, it wasn't all bad though.

682
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,000
I mean, how often do you get to come in to work at 8.30 in the morning and drink beer?

683
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,000
It definitely wasn't all bad for me because I got to do the torturing.

684
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,000
If you have any good ideas that I can torture these guys with,
