It takes all the fun out of it. 457 00:25:10,060 --> 00:25:12,060 I know what you mean, brother. 458 00:25:20,060 --> 00:25:24,060 Tori and Grant have checked off the first part of the Huacha myth. 459 00:25:24,060 --> 00:25:29,060 A bamboo arrow with a gunpowder engine can fly 500 yards. 460 00:25:30,060 --> 00:25:34,060 Part two of the test is to see if the arrows were double-deadly. 461 00:25:34,060 --> 00:25:39,060 A warhead filled with more gunpowder was meant to explode on impact. 462 00:25:39,060 --> 00:25:43,060 But will it do more than just singe the skin? 463 00:25:43,060 --> 00:25:45,060 Only one way to find out. 464 00:25:45,060 --> 00:25:49,060 We're going to stick this arrow in my butt and find out what kind of damage it does. 465 00:25:49,060 --> 00:25:53,060 But not exactly my butt. This butt. This is my ticket onto the show. 466 00:25:53,060 --> 00:25:58,060 Jamie and Adam were doing a myth about airplane suction, and they needed to take a 3D scan of my backside. 467 00:25:58,060 --> 00:26:01,060 That's a good deal to get. 468 00:26:01,060 --> 00:26:04,060 Rest is history. They gave me a job on the show. 469 00:26:06,060 --> 00:26:12,060 Bend on adding injury to insult, the boys haul Kari's keister out to the shipping container. 470 00:26:12,060 --> 00:26:19,060 So this test is not about accuracy. We're going to have the arrow already in the butt when we start the test. 471 00:26:19,060 --> 00:26:23,060 Grant sets the fuse while Kari lays the odds. 472 00:26:23,060 --> 00:26:28,060 I think we could be looking forward to a nice big hole in this target. 473 00:26:28,060 --> 00:26:31,060 Yes, I heard that too. 474 00:26:31,060 --> 00:26:34,060 Let's say we just fast-track to the countdown. 475 00:26:34,060 --> 00:26:37,060 Alright, three, two, one. 476 00:26:40,060 --> 00:26:42,060 Yeah! 477 00:26:42,060 --> 00:26:44,060 Woo-hoo! 478 00:26:44,060 --> 00:26:45,060 That was good! 479 00:26:49,060 --> 00:26:52,060 But good isn't quite the same as great. 480 00:26:53,060 --> 00:26:59,060 So we didn't exactly get the kind of damage we were expecting with this test. 481 00:26:59,060 --> 00:27:06,060 And I think part of that is that the dragon skin isn't an exact analog for flesh. We need something better. 482 00:27:06,060 --> 00:27:10,060 So Kari butts out, and a pig part takes over. 483 00:27:10,060 --> 00:27:13,060 Tori prepares a leg of pork. 484 00:27:13,060 --> 00:27:16,060 Oh, you f***ing little pig. 485 00:27:16,060 --> 00:27:20,060 Grant inserts the fuse, and hopefully we're making bacon. 486 00:27:20,060 --> 00:27:23,060 This is tissue damage test on pork. 487 00:27:23,060 --> 00:27:26,060 In three, two, one. 488 00:27:29,060 --> 00:27:31,060 Oh-ho-ho! 489 00:27:31,060 --> 00:27:33,060 Wow, that's good! 490 00:27:38,060 --> 00:27:40,060 Oh-ho-ho! 491 00:27:40,060 --> 00:27:44,060 Wow, look at that. More burning of flesh. 492 00:27:44,060 --> 00:27:49,060 Alright, but as far as making it, a mortal wound that explodes inside you? 493 00:27:49,060 --> 00:27:53,060 Yeah, the arrow itself is probably going to do more damage than the explosion. 494 00:27:55,060 --> 00:28:03,060 But we're testing for deadly injury, so it's worth rewrapping the warhead to push all that explosive energy forwards. 495 00:28:03,060 --> 00:28:08,060 That's a larger, exploding arrow. 496 00:28:08,060 --> 00:28:16,060 I think the boys really were hoping for some sort of grrrr and gore and mess, but what really happened is the energy took the path of least resistance. 497 00:28:16,060 --> 00:28:19,060 In three, two, one. 498 00:28:27,060 --> 00:28:30,060 Wow, look at how much damage that did. 499 00:28:30,060 --> 00:28:32,060 That's a little more what you were looking for. 500 00:28:32,060 --> 00:28:35,060 And exactly what they were hoping for. 501 00:28:36,060 --> 00:28:42,060 This is the same amount of black powder as a test before. The only difference is how we contained it. 502 00:28:42,060 --> 00:28:48,060 Now, before we had a thin paper tube, the tube blew out and all the energy was being released. 503 00:28:48,060 --> 00:28:54,060 In this test, we sealed both ends of the container and had a small fuse going in. 504 00:28:54,060 --> 00:29:00,060 So all that energy that was being lost, built up, built up, built up, and BAMBOOM! Big world. 505 00:29:00,060 --> 00:29:11,060 That's two-thirds of the legend confirmed. The arrows can fly 500 yards, and they can cause serious additional damage when they explode on impact. 506 00:29:12,060 --> 00:29:20,060 To test part three, whether 200 arrows really could fire together, they need to build their own replica HWACHA. 507 00:29:20,060 --> 00:29:22,060 It's going to be easier when it's got wheels on it. 508 00:29:22,060 --> 00:29:26,060 You can only use wooden bamboo, the ancient materials that they would have had. 509 00:29:26,060 --> 00:29:37,060 Basically, it's an ancient rocket launcher. The literal translation is fire attack car, but I prefer saying HWACHA. 510 00:29:37,060 --> 00:29:40,060 Tori gets stuck into the carpentry. 511 00:29:41,060 --> 00:29:51,060 While Grant carves a life-sized army of Styrofoam soldiers, all faded to end their days as Korean cannon fodder. 512 00:29:55,060 --> 00:29:59,060 You know, since Tori told us about the HWACHA, I've been doing a little bit of research about it. 513 00:29:59,060 --> 00:30:05,060 It turns out that the first one was made in 1409 during the Joseon Dynasty by Korean scientists, but they say that one wasn't used in combat. 514 00:30:05,060 --> 00:30:16,060 Yeah, and by 1503, it had become such an effective weapon that in the Battle of Hangju, 3,000 Korean soldiers and 40 HWACHAs repelled over 30,000 Japanese troops. 515 00:30:16,060 --> 00:30:18,060 So they were out number 10-1. 516 00:30:18,060 --> 00:30:24,060 Yeah, in fact, at that time, the HWACHA had become a primary defensive strategy. They just lined the borders with them. 517 00:30:24,060 --> 00:30:27,060 That's cool. I hope ours can live up to that legacy. 518 00:30:28,060 --> 00:30:35,060 Tori's exceeded all expectations, building a near-perfect HWACHA based on nothing more than photos. 519 00:30:35,060 --> 00:30:40,060 He adds a splash of timber stain and some old, tiny wheels. 520 00:30:40,060 --> 00:30:46,060 And the wheels also act as an angle finder, so you can find the best angle for your trajectory. 521 00:30:46,060 --> 00:30:51,060 This is going to be awesome. Grant's army does not stand a chance. 522 00:30:52,060 --> 00:31:01,060 Adam and Jamie are all set to test four mythical ways to sober up fast. 523 00:31:01,060 --> 00:31:03,060 Uh-oh. 524 00:31:03,060 --> 00:31:09,060 So far, all they've done is drink themselves stupid. Well, stupider. 525 00:31:09,060 --> 00:31:15,060 Coffee, ice water, you name it. There are things that people try to try and sober up. 526 00:31:15,060 --> 00:31:24,060 We're going to test that and see whether I can actually function better than I can now, because obviously I'm not doing too well. 527 00:31:24,060 --> 00:31:29,060 This NASA-inspired test is the modern version of walking a straight line. 528 00:31:29,060 --> 00:31:37,060 First off, our crash test drunk straps weights to his riding wrist, then signs his name at arm's length. 529 00:31:39,060 --> 00:31:44,060 Your name is Jamie or Johnny. Okay, when you hit the begin. 530 00:31:45,060 --> 00:31:52,060 Jamie tries tracing a thin gray line. This test is judged on accuracy and speed. 531 00:31:52,060 --> 00:32:01,060 I should point out that each of these tests is different, yet it includes the same amount of right-hand turns, left-hand turns, and curves and overall distance. 532 00:32:01,060 --> 00:32:02,060 Shut up. 533 00:32:02,060 --> 00:32:06,060 What happened over here? Did you cough or something? 534 00:32:06,060 --> 00:32:08,060 43 seconds. 535 00:32:08,060 --> 00:32:14,060 Now it's Adam's turn to sign on, then post a score that reflects his hand-eye coordination. 536 00:32:21,060 --> 00:32:22,060 What is that? 537 00:32:22,060 --> 00:32:23,060 42. 538 00:32:23,060 --> 00:32:26,060 42? Is that exactly the same time as you? 539 00:32:26,060 --> 00:32:27,060 Yeah. 540 00:32:27,060 --> 00:32:33,060 While Adam stays pleasantly pickled, Jamie tries the first detoxifier. 541 00:32:33,060 --> 00:32:34,060 That is black coffee. 542 00:32:34,060 --> 00:32:36,060 What are you doing? 543 00:32:36,060 --> 00:32:39,060 I'm the control. See? 544 00:32:39,060 --> 00:32:41,060 I don't think you're very much under control. 545 00:32:41,060 --> 00:32:44,060 I'm not under control. I am THE control. 546 00:32:44,060 --> 00:32:55,060 You drink that whole cup of coffee, we wait five minutes, and then we test you cognitively and breathalyzerly again to see if there's any stark improvement. 547 00:32:55,060 --> 00:32:59,060 And then I do the same two tests to see if there's a difference in the improvement. 548 00:32:59,060 --> 00:33:09,060 The very idea that people always say is black coffee will sober him up, and thus we've got to test it just the way it's set. 549 00:33:09,060 --> 00:33:12,060 It's the only way it sinks into people. 550 00:33:12,060 --> 00:33:14,060 You sound like you're drunk. 551 00:33:14,060 --> 00:33:17,060 In fact, I am. 552 00:33:17,060 --> 00:33:26,060 But how drunk is Jamie after the coffee? His cursive shows signs of improvement, and his trace test looks quick and steady. 553 00:33:26,060 --> 00:33:28,060 Whenever you're ready. 554 00:33:29,060 --> 00:33:42,060 I feel rapidly improving. I don't know what to make of that, but I don't feel like crunching any data while I'm drunk. 555 00:33:42,060 --> 00:33:43,060 Okay. 556 00:33:43,060 --> 00:33:45,060 And it's all about the data. 557 00:33:45,060 --> 00:33:47,060 Oh! 558 00:33:47,060 --> 00:33:53,060 Adam, who also blew .07, completes his non-coffee control test. 559 00:33:53,060 --> 00:33:55,060 32! 560 00:33:55,060 --> 00:33:57,060 So it's back to the bar. 561 00:33:57,060 --> 00:34:04,060 Adam treats himself to a few cups of joe, so he and Jamie are back on a kind of even keel. 562 00:34:04,060 --> 00:34:07,060 Here's mud in your eye. 563 00:34:09,060 --> 00:34:11,060 Oh, this is vile. 564 00:34:11,060 --> 00:34:14,060 Now for a much needed spurt of spirits. 565 00:34:14,060 --> 00:34:22,060 On the assumption that the average adult male of our size processes metabolizes, as you might say, one drink per hour. 566 00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:25,060 We are having a maintenance drink right now. 567 00:34:25,060 --> 00:34:33,060 It's about now we'd normally warn you about excessive drinking, but those two miserable mugs tell the story. 568 00:34:33,060 --> 00:34:34,060 That's blus. 569 00:34:34,060 --> 00:34:40,060 Technique number two for sobering up is vigorous exercise at Adam's The Guinea Pig. 570 00:34:40,060 --> 00:34:44,060 It's all a numbers game, and here's a few more to consider. 571 00:34:44,060 --> 00:34:49,060 Adam has to run this treadmill for five minutes at six and a half miles per hour. 572 00:34:49,060 --> 00:34:50,060 This is scary. 573 00:34:50,060 --> 00:34:53,060 His blood alcohol is .09. 574 00:34:53,060 --> 00:34:55,060 Wow! 575 00:34:58,060 --> 00:35:01,060 I'm gonna have to concentrate on this. 576 00:35:01,060 --> 00:35:09,060 Adam's hunger green screen for inspiration, but then realizes it won't work because you can't see it. 577 00:35:09,060 --> 00:35:12,060 Some decisions really are best made sober. 578 00:35:12,060 --> 00:35:13,060 One minute. 579 00:35:13,060 --> 00:35:16,060 Oh my God, I'm gonna die. 580 00:35:16,060 --> 00:35:18,060 Two minutes. 581 00:35:18,060 --> 00:35:20,060 Two minutes. 582 00:35:20,060 --> 00:35:22,060 Screw that. 583 00:35:22,060 --> 00:35:25,060 You're not even sweaty yet.
