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 --> 00:00:37,000 I'm feeling a little left out here. And I'm glad. What's going on? 3 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:44,000 Beer goggles. Beer goggles. Beer goggles. It's been out there waiting for us the whole time and for some reason we haven't tested it. 4 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,000 The idea that alcohol has this magical property that will make people around you more attractive the more you drink. 5 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000 Actually, I feel like I've been testing this for over a decade. 6 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000 Yes, but that's anecdotally. We are going to test it scientifically. 7 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000 Great. More drinking on the job. 8 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:11,000 Jamie knows that eventually this will turn ugly. They'll have to lose their inhibitions and maybe their lunch to test the truth of beer goggles. 9 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,000 This seems to be a really subjective thing. We need to be objective if we're going to be scientific. How are we going to do that? 10 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,000 Large sample size? 11 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:25,000 That's exactly what I'm thinking. And I'm thinking that we rate photos. Specifically, we get a bunch of photos, us of women, you of men. 12 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,000 We review a whole bunch and rate them when we're sober and then we get drunk and re-rate those photos. 13 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000 And see if there's a difference. 14 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,000 Exactly. 15 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,000 But before we raise our glasses, let's meet the newest member of the team with a vital role to play. 16 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,000 This is our new smart board. Not only is it a really big, beautiful interface, but it's also interactive. 17 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000 Let me show you a couple of tricks. Watch this. 18 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,000 Ha ha ha. How about that? Huh? Huh? You like that? It gets better. 19 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:06,000 Check it out. Not only can I even do that, I can also diagram what's going to happen in real time. 20 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,000 Now, I'm not going to go too much farther showing you the tricks this thing can do because we're about to use it a whole bunch in this very episode. 21 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:20,000 The board's first job is to help Adam, still sober, rate the looks of 30 women from 1 to 10. 22 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:28,000 There we go. He's got just 5 seconds to score each photo. He can see the time ticked down on the left of the screen. 23 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:35,000 I gotta say the exercise of giving a quick rating, it doesn't feel great. It's kind of an awful thing to have to do. 24 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,000 Ah! Like I find myself resisting giving a 1 or a 2, but...yeah, but... 25 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000 I got a 96! 26 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,000 So the total possible score is potentially 300. Out of that, I gave a 96. 27 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,000 The question from here on in will be, as I drink, will my overall score go up? 28 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000 Now it's Carrie's turn to rate the chaps. 29 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,000 Alright, Carrie, sober. Let's start. 30 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,000 5 seconds is really quick to come up with a number to rate someone. 31 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,000 I mean, usually give them a little bit more time if you're in a bar or something. 32 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000 And quite honestly, there are no supermodels on here. 33 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000 Oh, God, do I rate you on your hair? 34 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000 Carrie's either much more generous or less discriminating than Adam. 35 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000 Okay, total score, 154. 36 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,000 I noticed I was rating higher on men that looked confident. 37 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:50,000 If they looked sort of squirrely and really apprehensive about the whole thing, I definitely gave them a lower score. 38 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000 Now for a man who's anything but squirrely. 39 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000 Your turn. 40 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:01,000 Okay, I'm about to look at a bunch of pictures of women, apparently, and try to objectify them. 41 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000 Jamie's got a point. 42 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000 Snap decisions based on looks alone are shallow and shameful. 43 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000 But hey, it's all in the name of social science. 44 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000 It's set up so that it's sort of a gut reaction. 45 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,000 I don't know how consistent it's going to be, but that's where the averaging becomes important. 46 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,000 Because you've got some kind of a number that should show a trend. 47 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,000 And Jamie's trendy number? 48 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,000 Higher than Adam's, but lower than Carrie's. 49 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000 So I got a 116. 50 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000 Whatever that means. 51 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000 Well, it means nothing until they've done this twice more. 52 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,000 First, slightly inebriated, and then stumbling, dribbling drunk. 53 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,000 Hello, Ginger. 54 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000 Hi, Adam. How are you doing? 55 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000 Good. How about three beers? 56 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000 Don't even ask how Adam knows the bar staff by name. 57 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000 Let's just say he won't need directions to the restroom. 58 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,000 Let the test begin. 59 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,000 To science. 60 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,000 To science. 61 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000 The aim here is to get buzzed. 62 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000 For the boys, that means two or three quick brusquets. 63 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000 For Carrie, maybe one less. 64 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000 What's red and smells like blue paint? 65 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,000 What? 66 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,000 Red paint. 67 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000 Ginger keeps the sides coming. 68 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000 And they're ready to test if they're officially buzzed. 69 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000 Let's do a breathalyzer. 70 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000 Let's get some science going. 71 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,000 It sounds like fun. 72 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,000 0.06. 73 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,000 Over to Carrie, who proved she's too drunk to drive. 74 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,000 0.08. 75 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,000 She's at the legal limit. 76 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000 Then Jamie blows the same number as Adam. 77 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,000 0.06. 78 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:57,000 But will their slightly pickled perceptions affect the way they judge the opposite sex? 79 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000 How am I going to do when I'm buzzed? 80 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000 I don't think it'll be a whole lot different than sober. 81 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000 Adam's not so sure. 82 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000 And he's the first to try it. 83 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000 I'm going to 0.06. 84 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000 You guys, don't cheat. Don't look over here. You got it? 85 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,000 No problem. 86 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,000 Okay. Adam buzzed. Here we go. 87 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:24,000 This time around, they've got 30 new faces judged by others to be exactly as attractive as the first batch. 88 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000 I can already feel my ratings being higher. 89 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,000 I found it much easier to rate them buzzed than sober. 90 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,000 I started to feel bad for the ones and twos while sober, buzzed. 91 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000 I didn't care at all. 92 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000 1, 1, 2, you're out. 93 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,000 Harsh words, but his tally supports the myth. 94 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000 He is finding these faces more attractive. 95 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,000 My buzz score overall is 1, 21. 96 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,000 That's 25 more than his sober test. 97 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,000 So on average, each girl rates almost a full point extra. 98 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,000 Now for Carrie, who was far kinder than the boys' first time round. 99 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,000 I think I'd get a little giddy after a few drinks, so I think I might be pretty generous after I've had a beer or two. 100 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000 Or three. 101 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:19,000 Carrie also has 30 new faces to rate. Again, all average joes. 102 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,000 That is some fabulous hair. 103 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:27,000 But the beer goggle effect seems to be working in reverse. 104 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000 Is this an uglier group of people? 105 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000 I wouldn't give most of those guys change if I passed them on the street. 106 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,000 Just two hours ago, sober, Carrie rated a similar group at 154. 107 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000 Now that she's loosened up... 108 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,000 My buzz score was 89. I might be a mean drunk. 109 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,000 I'm not sure if I was charity rating before, because I felt kind of bad for some of the uglier people, 110 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:55,000 but there was absolutely no talent in this group. None. 111 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000 So Jamie steps up to rate the new babes. 112 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000 And remember, he predicted no change whatsoever. 113 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000 Here we go. Jamie buzzed. 114 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:17,000 My perceptions of what made them attractive or not attractive are pretty much the same as they were the last time as far as I know. 115 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,000 I mean, nice complexion, regular features, signs of health, things like that. 116 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,000 But after three beers, Jamie's brain is lightly sauteed. It all comes down to one number. 117 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,000 Okay, I'm done. My buzzed score was 105. 118 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:42,000 His sober score was 116, but we're yet to test anyone cross-eyed drunk. 119 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,000 And when we do, the figures, I promise, will surprise you. 120 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000 I feel like I've met her. 121 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:57,000 After the break, Tori Grant and Carrie revived the legend of the awesome Korean arrow launcher called the Watcha. 122 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000 Come on, baby. Come on, Watcha. 123 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Alright, you guys, this next myth is gonna be insane. 124 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,000 What is it? 125 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000 That's it. The Watcha. It's an ancient Korean weapon. 126 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,000 Oh. 127 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,000 If there's a picture of it, that means it's not a myth. It exists. 128 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000 Well, we know it exists. What we're gonna test is the legend of the Watcha. 129 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000 Whether or not it could do what they said it could do. 130 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:34,000 Apparently, they could fire 200 arrows all at once, going 500 yards, and all of the arrows explode on impact. 131 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,000 Okay, well, to begin with, any weapon in that era wouldn't have had the benefit of modern explosives or propellants. 132 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000 It was likely based entirely on black powder. 133 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,000 So first, we need to find out if black powder can actually propel one of those arrows 500 yards. 134 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Right. And then we need to see if we can get these rockets to explode on impact. 135 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:58,000 And finally, we need to see if we can launch 200 arrows simultaneously without them all crashing into each other or exploding on the stand. 136 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:03,000 It's a massive myth to unravel with three key parts. 137 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,000 One, can a fire arrow actually travel 500 yards? 138 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,000 Two, can it be rigged to explode on impact? 139 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,000 And three, can you really set off 200 at once? 140 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,000 So let's start up at the pointy end. 141 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:25,000 What I'm gonna do right now is I'm gonna build one of these arrows from the materials that the ancient Koreans would have used. 142 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,000 I have some bamboo. I have some feathers for my fletching. 143 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,000 And finally, a piece of steel to make my arrow heads out of. 144 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:41,000 Tori proves himself a first-class fletcher and a pretty fair blacksmith. 145 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:47,000 Alright, so my arrow is done. Now it's time to see how it flies. 146 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,000 What a fly! 147 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000 Pretty dang good. 148 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,000 That's one down, 199 to go. 149 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:06,000 Tori leaves the hard work to carry as he and Grant skip town to visit Zambelli fireworks in Pennsylvania. 150 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000 We're lost, aren't we? 151 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:14,000 The rationale behind the road trip is that the fire arrows work just like sky rockets. 152 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,000 We happen to have some fun while we're here. That's purely quits and end. 153 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,000 Just like fireworks, the Wacha rockets were charged with black powder. 154 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:30,000 Hours have to travel 500 yards strapped to a 4 1 half foot arrow. 155 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:35,000 Grant and Tori are determined to roll their own and Bill is here to help them. 156 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Well, let's see, what's one of these weigh? 157 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,000 About four ounces. That's not bad. 158 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,000 Every 12 ounces, the shell weighs.
