1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,840
Please do not try what you are about to see at home.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:05,940
We're what you call experts.

3
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,600
Just like home cooking.

4
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,600
Possible in the real world.

5
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,600
Then Carrie Grant and Tori test the best mythical methods.

6
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,100
Lion poop.

7
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:45,400
To keep creepy, cute and colossal critters.

8
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:47,600
Oh my gosh.

9
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:48,600
Keep out of your property.

10
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,400
We hate snakes.

11
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:51,600
And pants.

12
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,600
Oh, it's gonna go in his pants. It's gonna go in his pants.

13
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,600
Oh my gosh.

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,600
Who are the Mythbusters?

15
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:01,400
Adam Savage.

16
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,000
What more do you need to know?

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,200
And Jamie Heineman.

18
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,800
Things are gonna get a little crazy in here.

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,800
Between them more than 30 years of special effects experience.

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,400
Together with Tori Bellegi.

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:14,800
We survived.

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,000
Brent Imahara.

23
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,000
Something just touched me.

24
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,600
And Carrie Byron.

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,200
Time to wreck this car.

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,000
They don't just tell the myths.

27
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,600
They put them to the test.

28
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,600
First up, Adam and Jamie fulfill their Hollywood action hero ambitions.

29
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,000
Let me fill you in.

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,800
In the movies, you often see two people in a car.

31
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,000
One's driving, one's a passenger.

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,200
And the driver will say,

33
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,200
You steer!

34
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,200
And the passenger steers while the driver operates the throttle and the brake.

35
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,200
And somehow they still escape the bad guys.

36
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,200
And I wonder,

37
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,000
How easy is that really?

38
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,200
Doesn't that sound like fun to try?

39
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,000
Just cooperating while driving?

40
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,000
Sure.

41
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,800
No silver screen car chase chaos is complete without a little daring and sharing.

42
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,800
Supposedly, when the driver has his hands full with a classic cliche,

43
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,400
the passenger can simply reach over, take the wheel,

44
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,200
and the high speed action continues without a hitch.

45
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,800
And to find out if that's a practical possibility

46
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,200
or a flimsy film fiction,

47
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,000
Adam and Jamie de-camp to a deserted destination.

48
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,600
On your marks!

49
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,800
Understanding at the end of the New Jerusalem Airport runway in Tracy, California.

50
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,000
Tracy!

51
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,800
About a kilometer and a half runway lays out behind me.

52
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,800
It is the perfect place for us to do all of our testing without hurting a single soul,

53
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,000
except maybe each other.

54
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,000
Go, go, go, go, go!

55
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

56
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,800
Wheeeee!

57
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,400
This is a classic movie scenario where a couple of guys are trying to outrun somebody.

58
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,000
And the driver becomes compromised by whatever the shenanigans are that are going on.

59
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,600
He asks for his passenger to help him out by taking control of the steering wheel.

60
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,600
There we go.

61
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Now, obviously this is going to make control of the car kind of difficult,

62
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,600
and that's our first test.

63
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,000
And that's done. Oh, wait, that's finished.

64
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,000
So to test the mythical sharing is caring scenario, go.

65
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,000
The guys will each drive a control through the Colmarx Slalom course at car chase speeds.

66
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Then average both of their times.

67
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Finish.

68
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,000
104.

69
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000
And compare that, go.

70
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
To the time they get while sharing the driving duties,

71
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:45,000
can you really match your solo speed and skill with a co-driver on the wheel and the other on the pedals?

72
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,000
59 seconds.

73
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
That's a combined average of 62 seconds.

74
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000
And with their marker laid down, it's time to partner up.

75
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,000
All right, this is Cooperative Driving, test number one in three, two, one, go.

76
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:08,000
So the car chases on, and Jamie, while still controlling the speed and brakes, is about to hand over the wheel.

77
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000
When do you think you want to take over? Anytime you want.

78
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Okay.

79
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Whoa!

80
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:21,000
When the driver's not in the driver's seat, is it as easy as Tinseltown would have us believe?

81
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,000
This isn't so bad.

82
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Put up to a turn.

83
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Here comes the hard part.

84
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,000
There we go.

85
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Ladies and gentlemen, yeah!

86
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Oh, that ain't bad at all.

87
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Not bad at all.

88
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
It matched the control time exactly.

89
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
And finished.

90
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
But the fat lady doesn't sing until all the data is in.

91
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
It's Jamie's turn.

92
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,000
All right, yeah, it's all yours.

93
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Not behind, but to the side of the wheel.

94
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Here comes the first difficult turn.

95
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Nice! Well done.

96
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Just like home cooking.

97
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Yep, nice and easy, until you leave the stove unattended.

98
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Jamie!

99
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000
I think maybe you should have used two hands on that one.

100
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Well, our time was pretty good on that test.

101
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000
But it did not go without a hitch.

102
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Jamie was steering with one hand, if I might say, a little long,

103
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000
and it caught up with him on our last turn.

104
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
That was a little touch and go there once more.

105
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,000
It would seem that we have proven that driving cooperatively is just as easy as driving by yourself,

106
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
at least with two experienced drivers.

107
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Yeah!

108
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
But I've got a wrinkle that I want to add to this test,

109
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
and I'm going to bring it up with Jamie.

110
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Yep, this stunt driving dream just got armed and dangerous.

111
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Yeah!

112
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Well, you know how they say that the worst things you can work with are babies and animals?

113
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Well, we're half lucky.

114
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000
We get to work with animals.

115
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,000
We're going to test all sorts of mythical animal deterrents.

116
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Like what?

117
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Well, remember when we did that myth where we saw if a bag of water can repel flies off your front porch?

118
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Apparently bags of water attract flies.

119
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
But ever since then, the message board has been inundated with requests

120
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,000
for us to test different ways to repel animals like snakes, cats, or bear.

121
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Oh my!

122
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Alright, well why don't we get the most popular animal repellents

123
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
and see which ones work and which ones don't?

124
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Great!

125
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,000
When it comes to keeping critters from causing calamitous catastrophe on your property,

126
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,000
the Mythbuster Message Board has a host of homemade mythical remedies.

127
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,000
And first up are those notorious flower bed defecators.

128
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Fela's Catus.

129
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,000
If you want to keep cats from digging or pooping in your garden,

130
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,000
the most popular are water bottles, which work so well with the flies.

131
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000
And one I don't entirely understand, which is why I'm going to use this.

132
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000
I don't entirely understand, which is lion poop.

133
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Well, let's make a cat house that's comfy for them that has a garden,

134
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,000
someplace where they'd want to go, and then put out all these deterrents and see what happens.

135
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
So the setup is simple.

136
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
A cat-friendly environment to make the felines feel at home.

137
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:21,000
And a platter box, which the team will attempt to deter the determined kitties from entering and destroying.

138
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,000
So our environment is all set for our control test, and we have the cutest guests ever.

139
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,000
We have four cats and four kittens.

140
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,000
What we're going to do is put them in here and see how many of them go into the platter box.

141
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Be free.

142
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,000
After we've done the control test, then we'll do the test again, this time deploying our deterrents.

143
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,000
All of these are said to be things that will keep cats out of your flower bed.

144
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:49,000
And also so that we don't affect the test by adding extra stimulus, we're going to leave the room.

145
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,000
And we're going to monitor their behavior on this remote video feed.

146
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,000
One behavioral pattern is that all four of the adult cats love getting high.

147
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,000
It's obvious that there's one place that they all really like, and that looks like it's the cat tower.

148
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:10,000
But the crucial control data is how many cats go about their business in the flower bed.

149
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Look at that, the cat is peeing in the platter box. That is perfect. Dude, they love it.

150
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Add with the hour up, the numbers are in.

151
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Seven of the eight cats visited the platter box at least once.

152
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000
But their behavior has warranted a slight tweak to the test.

153
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000
So when we first started the test, we noticed two really interesting things.

154
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,000
One, all of the kittens and one of the adults went straight for the platter box.

155
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:38,000
The other is that almost all the cats go for the tower. They like being up high.

156
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,000
So when we deploy our deterrents, I think we're going to go for both the planter and the tower.

157
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,000
The first fan suggested deterrent is clear plastic water bottles.

158
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Will they keep the kitties out of the flower bed and their favorite cat tower?

159
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Alright, I think that's enough.

160
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,000
And how?

161
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,000
So this whole theory that the water bottle is a good cat repellent is similar to the one that it repels flies.

162
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,000
The idea is that the sunlight hits the water, it refracts the light and creates confusion.

163
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Be free. It didn't work for the flies. And cats are a lot smarter than flies.

164
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
So my feeling is it's not going to work for them either.

165
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:21,000
With stage lights directed onto the bottles creating the laser-like light show that cats are supposed to hate,

166
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000
the early signs are mildly encouraging.

167
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Okay, they're sort of like, what is this? What are these things everywhere?

168
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,000
I don't know.

169
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000
But it's no more than a moment's hesitation.

170
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Despite the light-reflecting water bottles liberally placed in the key areas,

171
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
the cats exhibit identical behavior as the control.

172
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,000
And do exactly what they want to do, where they want to do it.

173
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,000
So there you have it. Within 15 minutes, all of our cats, except for one,

174
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,000
entered the box with all the water bottles in it. And some even did their business.

175
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,000
So with the first homespun deterrent done, it's 0 for 1.

176
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Which leaves one final internet-inspired feline force field.

177
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Now for the mythical deterrent we've all really been looking forward to.

178
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Lion poop.

179
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Ew, look at it. It's just lying around on the fence.

180
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Ew, it's sticking to my hand.

181
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:27,000
I don't know why anybody would want to use something this violent disgusting to keep the cats from going in your garden

182
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000
and leaving something violent disgusting.

183
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,000
There's like little pieces of unchewed guts and fur in here.

184
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Maybe if it was just a perimeter and you had a very large garden.

185
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000
And no sense of smell.

186
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Carrie may be dubious.

187
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Alright, cats are in. Let's get out of here.

188
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,000
But the theory is that by marking off the territory with the spore of a big cat,

189
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000
the kitty cats will steer clear.

190
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,000
They're sniffing around the perimeter. They're not crossing the poop.

191
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,000
They're clearly cautious cats. A new smell. A new stimulus.

192
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Some things afoot. But with no signs of an actual lion,

193
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,000
it only causes our furry pod friends to merely pause.

194
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Oh, look, now they're starting to go inside the planner. It doesn't seem to be working.

195
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:17,000
No, it's definitely not forming a protective barrier around the flowerbed.

196
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:23,000
Add by the time the time is up, not only is their behavior unaffected, the numbers match the control.

197
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Seven out of eight visit the flowerbed.

198
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Alright, so lion poop as a cat repellent totally busted.

199
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,000
Yeah, definitely busted.

200
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Yeah, busted. And believe me, the cure is worse than the disease.

201
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Yes.

202
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
So now we're going to move on to snakes.

203
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Yep.

204
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,000
How do you stop a serpent from sliding into secret forbidden spaces?

205
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Oh, it's going to go in his pants. It's going to go in his pants.

206
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Adam and Jamie are testing the reality of their stunt driving dreams.

207
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Okay.

208
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000
But Adam wants to take it up a gear.

209
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Jamie, I've got a wrinkle for this test. I want to bring it up with you.

210
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,000
What's that?

211
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Well, if you were driving a car and I was steering it in an action movie,

212
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,000
the reason would be so that you, the driver, would have your hands free to shoot at something.

213
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Like what? Pedestrians?

214
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Let's say bad guys.

215
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,000
So I'm thinking let's give ourselves a gun and some targets to shoot at and run this test again.

216
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Sure, why not?

217
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,000
So we tried driving with one of us on the steering wheel and one of us on the pedals.

218
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
That actually worked pretty well.

219
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
But now we're going to be doing some multitasking.

220
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:45,000
We're still going to have the same setup, but the guy in the driver's seat is also going to be aiming and shooting at targets along the road while they're underway.

221
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:53,000
So with paintball gun loaded and locked, token bad guy targets ready and waiting, it's showtime.

222
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,000
All right, you ready?

223
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,000
I'm ready.

224
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Cooperative driving with shooting in three, two, one, go!

225
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,000
With the driver distracted dealing out death to passing signposts,

226
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:11,000
is the multitasking messing with the speed and efficiency of their high-speed getaway?

227
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Got it.

228
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Nice!

229
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Adam keeps them on track and Jamie has his eye on the bad guy prize.

230
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,000
And to try to at least match their control time, Jamie has the pedals in the middle.

231
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Hit it, hit it!

232
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Yeah!

233
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,000
I was actually surprised how well I did with this test.

234
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,000
I was able to hit over 50% of my targets.

235
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Oh, missed it.

236
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,000
The bad news was that I drove slower, 25% slower in fact.

237
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
And we're in!

238
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Now what does this mean as far as the movies go?

239
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Is it as easy as they make it out to be?

240
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Well, I would say no, at least not unless you've had a heck of a lot of practice, which I hope you haven't.

241
00:13:52,000 --> 00:14:01,000
So with a significantly slower time, Jamie thinks sharp shooting and death cooperative driving are mutually exclusive.

242
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Go!

243
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000
But Adam, assassin savage, is up.

244
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Yeah!

245
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Maybe he'll be more successful.

246
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Come on.

247
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Ah!

248
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,000
I missed it.

249
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Maybe he won't.

250
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Well, that didn't go nearly as well as I thought it might.

251
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
I might even refer to that test as a disaster.

252
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:28,000
I thought I'd be able to hit many of the targets and get close to my driving time, but not only did I not hit most of the targets.

253
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Ah, damn it.

254
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000
But my driving time was off, slower, by a full 50%.

255
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,000
I came in at one and a half minutes.

256
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Finish!

257
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,000
That is far more difficult than a movie would lead you to believe.

258
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:51,000
With driving Miss Daisy Times and hapless assassin accuracy, this myth's a car crash.

259
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:57,000
But Hollywood and car chase cliches go together like Buster Stugward.

260
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Keep coming back for more.

261
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
He's stuck on his seatbelt.

262
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Turn, turn, turn, you gotta turn.

263
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Cary Grant and Tory failed to tame the kitty cats.

264
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Question is, will their menagerie of DIY deterrents fend off more fearsome fauna?

265
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Frantic fans threatened by snakes setting up home in their house are desperate to find out.

266
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Alright, so next up is snakes.

267
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Now why would you want to repel snakes?

268
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,000
They're so cute and cuddly.

269
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Now these techniques I want to hear, what are they?

270
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Alright, the most requested are a mixture of kitty litter and moth balls and finally, cayenne pepper.

271
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Alright, sounds simple enough.

272
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,000
We build an enclosure for the snakes, put some place in the middle where they'd really want to go,

273
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000
lay out our deterrents and see if they're repelled.

274
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Well I have a perfect environment that I want to build for these snakes.

275
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Glass coffin, nice inviting jackets that cuddle up with you?

276
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,000
No.

277
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,000
Bad memories?

278
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,000
Trying to forget that one.

279
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,000
You could say snakes and Tory have a love-hate relationship.

280
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
There's going to much sure.

281
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,000
He hates them and they love him.

282
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:11,000
So to help distract him from his fears, he's chatteling his inner Indiana Jones.

283
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Now to make my Raiders of the Lost Ark habitat, I'm going to revert to Hollywood trickery.

284
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:22,000
My first chainsaw, I got some bead foam right here, I'm going to sculpt it to look like ancient ruins.

285
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Rigging the snake enclosure as an ancient film set not only looks cool,

286
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,000
it provides motivation for the snakes to cross from one side to the other.

287
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000
A movement the team can quantify and use to rate the deterrents.

288
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:42,000
So the set is done and as you can tell, Indiana Jones had a huge influence on my childhood.

289
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Now this isn't the biggest set that I've ever built, but this is going to be perfect for our snakes.

290
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000
It creates an environment that is very inviting for them.

291
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:54,000
It's very bright here in the foreground and this is going to drive them to our altar, which is dark.

292
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:59,000
And this is going to be a perfect place to test our myths to see if we can actually repel snakes.

293
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,000
In addition to finding the dark altar appealing, snakes are ectothermic.

294
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,000
So under soil heating at the far end of the set, we'll also attract them.

295
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000
As will a warm, fresh TV host.

296
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Tory is once again being used as snake bait.

297
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
I hope these deterrents work.

298
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,000
For our control, we're going to introduce our snakes one at a time so we can check their behaviors,

299
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,000
see where they go, and then put our deterrents there.

300
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,000
And just for good measure, Tory is going to be sitting on the set.

301
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,000
He just loves snakes.

302
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,000
Why does it have to be snakes? I hate snakes.

303
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,000
So for the control, Carrie and Grant will place 21 snakes.

304
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Wow, you are heavy. There you go.

305
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Tory is over there.

306
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,000
At this end of the set and monitor their movement.

307
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Tory has lots of warm, dark, moist places where you can hide.

308
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Shhh, maybe she can smell fear.

309
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,000
And then see if the deterrents significantly alter their behavior.

310
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000
It looks like Stella has settled to where she wants to go.

311
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,000
You want to go get like a different one, maybe a small one?

312
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Yeah, I think I'll get a small, fast one.

313
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Oh, Tory loves those.

314
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,000
I'm just getting a little nervous.

315
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,000
It's going to be a long day for Tory.

316
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,000
This is the most venomous snake in North America, the Coral Snake.

317
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Oh, it's going to go in his pants. It's going to go in his pants.

318
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000
As the snakes keep coming.

319
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Australian Diamond Python.

320
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,000
The team keeps score of how many crossover and head for the dark side.

321
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Hi, cool. He's going into the altar. That's exactly what we want.

322
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Here is a carpet python.

323
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,000
We're actually creating an environment for the snakes to get out of the light

324
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000
and move toward the darkness.

325
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Albino Corn Snake.

326
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000
And then what we can do is set up our repellents and see if that keeps them out of the dark spots.

327
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Here you go. Here's a couple more for you.

328
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
This one's trying to go up my pant leg.

329
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
They're all over me.

330
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Whose idea was this?

331
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,000
And with all 21 released, the numbers are in.

332
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:18,000
18 snakes slithered across the set and secreted themselves into the numerous dark nooks and crannies around the altar.

333
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
And Tory.

334
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000
So this was a great control test.

335
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Now we need to pull all these snakes out, set up our repellents and see if they work.

336
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Can I get out now?

337
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Hang on.

338
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,000
It turns out shooting cars is wishful thinking.

339
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Ah, damn it. I missed it.

340
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:53,000
But Hollywood has a heap of high speed heroics our car chasing clues brothers can investigate.

341
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Yes!

342
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Next up, trading places.

343
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Now normally when you want to swap the driver and the passenger in a car, most of humanity does it this way.

344
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:12,000
In the movies, however, they swap from inside the car while the car is actually driving.

345
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,000
As long as we got this closed course, that's what Jamie and I are about to attempt.

346
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Surely the high speed car chase seat swap can't be as easy as the movies would have us believe.

347
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,000
To get a good look at the action in motion, the guys pop the top for the cameras.

348
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,000
A sunroof. We ought to be able to see what's going on now.

349
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
That is just perfect. I love it.

350
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,000
With the car set up for your viewing pleasure, watch the plan.

351
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000
So the goal here is to swap sides.

352
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Yes.

353
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Any ideas on how we're going to do that?

354
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,000
None at all.

355
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,000
So as long as we get from point A to point B and we're in different positions, we're good, right?

356
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,000
Yes.

357
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Works for me.

358
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:57,000
And it works because in the movies, the front bench connection is always an unrehearsed emergency measure.

359
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,000
But will they complete the course in a time that compares with the 62-second control?

360
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,000
In three, two, one, go.

361
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,000
All right. Seatbelts off.

362
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Okay.

363
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,000
What do we do?

364
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,000
So I'll go to the back. You go to the front. We'll keep.

365
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Okay.

366
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Here we go.

367
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Okay, got it.

368
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,000
I got the wheel.

369
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Yeah!

370
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Yes! Watch out.

371
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Watch out.

372
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Whoa!

373
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Despite the confined space and tangle of limbs,

374
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000
All right, let's do it again.

375
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Adam and Jamie managed to maintain speed by keeping a foot on the throttle.

376
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Right up until the new driver takes control.

377
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Here we go.

378
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,000
Yeah!

379
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,000
Which gives them a quick time.

380
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,000
And clear cut conclusion.

381
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,000
That's an adrenaline rush.

382
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Yeah, and we actually made it just as fast as we normally do.

383
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,000
That is fantastic.

384
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000
I love being action heroes.

385
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Like any good geek, I secretly wish I was a movie action hero.

386
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:07,000
And Mythbusters has allowed me to play that fantasy out several, if not many times.

387
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000
I've gotten to escape from underwater cars.

388
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,000
That's right!

389
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,000
I've held on to the roof of a car while Jamie tried to shake me off.

390
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,000
And I've gotten to jump off buildings repeatedly.

391
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:28,000
And now, I have just discovered that switching seats with somebody is relatively easy.

392
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,000
That totally worked!

393
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Well, I think I know how we're going to call this one.

394
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
I think we've got to call it plausible.

395
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Plausible but stupid.

396
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,000
There's just no reasonable or safe way that you could do that on a real road with real cars around.

397
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
No, not at all. Let's get out of here.

398
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Okay.

399
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Snakes.

400
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Loved, hated, feared and fated.

401
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Worshipped as gods and as a symbol of evil.

402
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,000
These beautiful yet terrifying creatures fascinate and beguile.

403
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:10,000
But one thing's for sure, you don't want them setting up home in your home.

404
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,000
So which mythical homemade recipes will keep them out?

405
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,000
All of the mythical deterrents that we're working with are sort of do-it-yourself, you know,

406
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
home remedies that you might find on the internet.

407
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,000
Now, this mixture of kitty litter and moth balls is supposed to work in two ways.

408
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000
One, it has sort of a crazy texture to it.

409
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,000
The second is a very chemical poisonous sort of smell.

410
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Oh, that stuff is strong.

411
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,000
I think I'm going to pass out.

412
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,000
Now, I think with that, we might actually have a really good home remedy here

413
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000
because personally, I'm repelled.

414
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,000
It smells awful.

415
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000
It's a two-pronged repellent.

416
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,000
The sharp-edged kitty litter is supposed to rub them up the wrong way.

417
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,000
They're coming towards me.

418
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,000
And the pungent pong will purportedly put them off.

419
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
A sound theory.

420
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Because by using their tongues to capture scent particles,

421
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,000
passing the info to a specialized organ in the mouth,

422
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,000
snakes have an ultra-sensitive sense of smell.

423
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Now, I was really hopeful that this one would work,

424
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,000
but a snake just crossed the line.

425
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,000
It actually is about to come up my pants.

426
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,000
But there are another 20 different species to go.

427
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Sit tight, Tori.

428
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
I don't like this experiment.

429
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Let's see how the numbers stack up at the end.

430
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,000
You know what? I think they're more agitated.

431
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,000
They're moving around quicker. They're darting in and out.

432
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,000
It looks like they don't really like the smell.

433
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Although, it's not stopping them from crossing.

434
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,000
It's just making them more, you know, upset.

435
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000
That makes 22 of us.

436
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,000
Ugh, I hate mouthballs.

437
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Yep, there is no doubt that the snake's behavior was initially

438
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,000
adversely affected.

439
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:58,000
But not only do 18 of 21 cross the barrier the same as the control,

440
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
one even shows off for the camera,

441
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,000
and as before, a few make themselves at home in the host.

442
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,000
Oh, f***, that one's going on my leg.

443
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,000
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

444
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Well, apparently the snakes aren't affected by these mouthballs one bit.

445
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,000
Which means this mouthball method is busted.

446
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,000
So now we're going to move on to cayenne pepper.

447
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,000
You need this much pepper.

448
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,000
Now the theory here is that it is very uncomfortable for the snakes

449
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,000
to touch it on their skin and possibly their smell receptors.

450
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Let's see how well this works.

451
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,000
I hope it works.

452
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:40,320
works. And a few snakes into the test, Tori may just have his wish. That's the

453
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:45,160
third one that I've seen turned back. They go into it, they sniff and then they

454
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:50,960
turn back. They are clearly affected by the strong scent and balk the line. The

455
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,440
cayenne pepper seems to be making the snakes hesitate. I mean they come

456
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:59,160
forward but then they kind of move away. But given the choice between finding a

457
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,760
safe place to hide and crossing the pungent pepper, the majority make the

458
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:09,320
journey. But I mean as you can tell if it was working perfectly, there would be

459
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,400
not one single snake around me and as you can see there are plenty of snakes

460
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:20,200
around. Plenty being 17 of the 21, leaving every technique busted and Tori

461
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:25,000
disappointed. Next, what do you do when the driver is

462
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:32,000
inconveniently deceased? Opportunities for danger and disaster are many. And it's

463
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:38,880
gonna get grisly for Carrie Grant and Tori. Oh my gosh. His name is Baloo.

464
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:47,680
Please do not try what you're about to see at home. We're what you call experts.

465
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:55,600
Adam and Jamie have successfully completed a cooperative driving duet.

466
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:01,600
Yeah! But next up they're taking car chase chaos to the Mad Max. You know I'm

467
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,680
not sure if the swapping seats was fun but you kind of get in each other's way.

468
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,680
It'd be a lot simpler just to kick the guy out of the door if you wanted to take control

469
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,680
of the car. I wonder if Adam would be into that.

470
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:18,680
No! Wait why would you want to get the guy out of the car in the first place?

471
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,680
Well what if he's dead drunk or better yet he's just dead?

472
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,680
Well if he's not dead he will be. We'll have to kick him out of the car at speed.

473
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,680
I suppose so. Did we bring Buster with us?

474
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,760
Bring on the test subject. Here he comes!

475
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,760
So the question here is that if you had to get a dead body out from behind the wheel

476
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:43,760
of a car that was underway at high speeds how easy would that actually be?

477
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,760
He's in no condition to drive. No.

478
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,760
Make no mistake this is the most dangerous thing we're attempting in this episode.

479
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:57,760
Oh wait. Safety first. He's ready. Jamie with a seat belt off will be opening Buster's

480
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:02,840
and attempting to wrestle Buster out of the car without having full control of the car

481
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,840
himself. Shall we get in and drive this car in the wrongest way possible?

482
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:13,840
I'm ready. Ok. The opportunities for danger and disaster are many. For safety I will actually

483
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:18,480
be in the back seat of this car with a pair of pedals that give me control of the throttle

484
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,480
and the brakes so that I can take some control of this car in case of an emergency.

485
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:30,200
It's a simple equation. The driver is subtracted from the plot with a well-placed bullet shot

486
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:37,200
and the hero has to have the number of bodies in the car. Its lights, camera, fractions.

487
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:44,200
Drive it while getting the dead guy out of the car. 3, 2, 1, go!

488
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:51,920
Alright the guy is dead. Now what are you going to do?

489
00:28:51,920 --> 00:29:01,920
Well, let's see. The car is open. Ok. The curve coming up. Oh I got to get his seat belt out.

490
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:09,920
Ok. Get it out! He's stuck on his seat belt.

491
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:16,920
He's caught on the friggin' seat belt.

492
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:23,920
Oh that's it! Come on! There you go!

493
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:36,920
Wow! That was amazing! But there's bad news for Buster.

494
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:43,920
Well there's his tummy. The dead body double was successfully dumped.

495
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:49,920
And there's the rest of him. But it was tricky and in a significantly slower time. The team

496
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,920
isn't convinced this one's in the body bag just yet.

497
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,920
Was that as easy as the movies would lead you to believe? I say no. It actually took

498
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:03,920
Jamie almost the full track to get Buster out and he was working really, really hard

499
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,920
both to get Buster out and maintain control of the car and keep it at speed. It's not trivial.

500
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:15,920
Adam and Jamie want certain death proof for the dead body dump. So Buster, pull yourself together.

501
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,920
There's another day to run to come. Dude is dead! What do we do?

502
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,920
When it comes to critic control... He eats meat.

503
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:33,920
The Mythbusters message boards have a heap of homemade requests for the team to test.

504
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,920
Lion poop! But so far they've come up empty pawn.

505
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:43,920
All of our mythical deterrents totally busted. However they're not done and busted just yet.

506
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,920
Alright, let me paint a picture for you. You want to go enjoy nature. So you pack a picnic lunch.

507
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:55,920
Got some peanut butter for the kids and pork jerky for Tori and some dried fruit for me.

508
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,920
Put it right on top of my salmon.

509
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,920
You leave it in your car and you go for a hike. You come back, the car is decimated.

510
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,920
Because a bear has come by, smelled the food and torn the car open.

511
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:12,920
How about this? Bacon air freshener? If only you had a bear deterrent. And that's where we're here to test.

512
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,920
Homemade bear deterrents. But first, we need a bear.

513
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:23,920
So behind me is a horse trailer. But in it is not a horse. It is the star of our test today.

514
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:28,920
His name is Baloo. He's an ursis arctus horribilis. He's a grizzly bear.

515
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,920
He stands seven feet tall. He weighs 700 pounds. And we're about to let him out.

516
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,920
But before we do that, we're going to set up some sage precautions.

517
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,920
Because this bear isn't in a cage or behind a fence. He's just going to be over here with our car.

518
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,920
So we're setting up a hot wire that's going to go around the perimeter of where he's going to stay.

519
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,920
Hopefully stay. Because Baloo is big. Scary big.

520
00:31:52,920 --> 00:32:00,920
He may have arrived in a trailer, but there's nothing Hollywood about 700 pounds of muscle, teeth and claws.

521
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:05,920
He keys off of our behavior. So for our own safety, we have to behave in a certain way.

522
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,920
So as not to provoke the bear. And that includes staying within a group.

523
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,920
Oh my God. That is a freaking grizzly bear.

524
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,920
You can look at the bear, but don't look at the bear.

525
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,920
Or else the bear is going to go like what? And look back at you.

526
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,920
And finally the number one rule. No running.

527
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,920
You stick to all these things. Everything should be fine. Right?

528
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,920
So will the control test provide a benchmark comparison.

529
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,920
Baloo has to smell the food and rip into the car to get to it.

530
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:42,920
If successful, the team can reset and see if their deterrence hamper the grizzly from getting to the hamper.

531
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:49,920
Baloo is a healthy sized bear. And he went straight for the water, sat down, cooled off, enjoyed himself a little.

532
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,920
He's going for the van.

533
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:56,920
And then he went over to the car, kind of snipped it out. He could tell there was, you know, maybe some food in there.

534
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:02,920
And he decides to inspect the car a little bit. Circles it, knocks over a camera or two.

535
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,920
Then instead of just opening the car like a can opener.

536
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,920
Looks like he's trying to open the door.

537
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:14,920
We have a smart bear here. He knows to get to his picnic basket. He can just open it with the handles.

538
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:15,920
Oh!

539
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,920
He's got the door open.

540
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,920
He didn't have to rip open the car. He knows how to use the handle.

541
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,920
Oh, did you see that? He just flipped the handle open.

542
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,920
Yeah, that is more than smart grizzly bear.

543
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:30,920
Then tears open, a cooler, pulling the lid off, tearing into it.

544
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,920
And then proceeds to, you know, give the car a little bit of a readjustment.

545
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,920
I think it's definitely going to need a little upholstery fixing at this point.

546
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,920
He's going for the camera.

547
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,920
That's going to be a great shot.

548
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:51,920
Baloo has made a mess of the car, the cameras, and made short work of the team's post-hike lunch.

549
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,920
And that all adds up to a perfect control test.

550
00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:00,920
Okay, so now he knows that there's food in the van.

551
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:07,920
So we set up the van again with the same situation, but with deterrence and see if it'll keep him away.

552
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,920
First we have to get him out of the van.

553
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,920
Not it?

554
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,920
You're not making it, but you ain't making no kids laughing with this.

555
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,920
What kind of mood have you struck walking in with this?

556
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,920
That's why I am proud to sell this, the Bumblebee.

557
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,920
The very messed up psychedelic Bumblebee clown car.

558
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,920
You drive up in this and nobody won't be smiling.

559
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,920
And we've added a new feature. Check this out.

560
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:53,920
If blasphemy is what you're into, you can turn it into a POP mobile.

561
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,920
Only $500 order right now.

562
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:16,920
Our dynamic stunt driving duo did cast out the corpse, but not nearly convincingly enough to call it confirmed.

563
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,920
Well, Buster, I hope that was as much fun for you as it was for me.

564
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:25,920
It presented some challenges like he got tangled in his seat belt.

565
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,920
He's caught on the frigging seat belt.

566
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,920
And then his feet got caught in the hinge of the car.

567
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,920
Are you driving?

568
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,920
That was an experience.

569
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,920
An experience Buster has to relive.

570
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,920
Or, more to the point, redie.

571
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,920
This is going to be so much fun.

572
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,920
But this time it's Adam who's kicking out the carcass.

573
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,920
Alright, go!

574
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,920
It's that old car chase chestnut.

575
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,920
Dead guys can't drive.

576
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,920
Dude is dead. What do we do?

577
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,920
First up, Adam gets his foot across to the pedals.

578
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,920
And then with the car under control, it's bye-bye Buster.

579
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,920
You've got to get out of the car.

580
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,920
Well, that was both easier and harder than I thought it would be.

581
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:09,920
Alright, here we go.

582
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:15,920
Harder because you forget that when you're driving a car forward, opening one of the doors is non-trivial.

583
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,920
But I finally managed to put my shoulder up against Buster.

584
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,920
Come on! Come on! Last day!

585
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:24,920
Yes!

586
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,920
I only had to get a little bit of him outside the door for gravity to do the rest for me.

587
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,920
I'm back in control of the car.

588
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,920
Done and dumped and in a suitably high-speed car chase time.

589
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,920
That was far out.

590
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:45,920
It works.

591
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,920
If not with cinematic slickness,

592
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:48,920
Come on!

593
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,920
Certainly with a physically brutal effectiveness.

594
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,920
From Buster's perspective, it was less wow and more ow.

595
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,920
But the good news is, it's a wrap.

596
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,920
So how are we going to call kicking a body out of the car at speed?

597
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,920
Well, it ain't easy, but it's plausible.

598
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,920
It's plausible. I like doing the driving myths on MythBusters.

599
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,920
It's given us quite the education, isn't it?

600
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,920
Yeah, you never know when it'll come in handy, do you?

601
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:16,920
No.

602
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,920
You want to ride back?

603
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,920
No, I'm cool. I'll walk myself back.

604
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,920
I don't know what he's nervous about.

605
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:57,920
It's another strong scent-based theory, but has it any chance of success?

606
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,920
Now, I don't know if it's the scent of the ammonia that's covering the scent of the food

607
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,920
or just the irritation of the actual ammonia.

608
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,920
Now, remember, though, bears smell 75 times better than a German shepherd.

609
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,920
So I have a feeling this one's going to work.

610
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,920
All right, time to bring out the bear.

611
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,920
Yeah, I actually predict that the ammonia is not going to work

612
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,920
because the ammonia smells a little bit like urine to me,

613
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,920
which is something that wouldn't put them off.

614
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,920
I think he's just still going to open that door and be like,

615
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,920
there's food in there. Let me get these uriny smelly rags out of the way.

616
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:47,920
After a confident swagger, it's a prediction proven with one nonchalant flick of a meaty paw.

617
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,920
And this time, he pops open the front door.

618
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:55,920
So he's just opening the door with the soaked rags.

619
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,920
The ammonia has done nothing to keep that bear familiar.

620
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,920
He's opened the door. It hasn't been out of open doors.

621
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,920
He's smarter than the average bear.

622
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,920
But the point is, was he put off by the deterrent?

623
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,920
So there are two interesting things that I noticed about this test.

624
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,920
The ammonia soaked rags did not deter the bear at all.

625
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,920
Second thing, when you think bear, you think destruction.

626
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,920
But in this case, the bear actually has amazing dexterity,

627
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:27,920
enough dexterity to open a door and pull a cooler out.

628
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:32,920
And I have to say, as far as ammonia soaked rags go, this one's busted.

629
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,920
Bulu agrees. And while he enjoys the fruits,

630
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,920
well, peanut butter of his car-opening labor back in his trailer,

631
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:46,920
the team resets the cooler for their final attempt at a nasal knockback.

632
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,920
Next up, cayenne pepper.

633
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,920
Cayenne pepper, a tasty condiment in Cajun cooking.

634
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,920
I don't know if it's going to repel a bear, but it's working on me.

635
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,920
But also a key ingredient in pepper spray.

636
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,920
Okay, the bear's about to come out.

637
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:08,920
Here he comes, 700 pounds of lumbering, powerful, unstoppable appetite.

638
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,920
Or is he? His behavior is diverging from the two previous tests.

639
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:14,920
He's clearly hesitating.

640
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,920
Look, he's sort of like sniffing the air.

641
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:18,920
Could this be the one?

642
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:23,920
Wow, the cayenne pepper looks like it's actually keeping the bear away from the van.

643
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,920
Yeah, you know, in the other tests, he went straight to the van, sniffed around,

644
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,920
and went in. This time he's just kind of avoiding it.

645
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,920
And not just avoiding the van, out of view on the far side of the vehicle.

646
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,920
He did it. Oh my gosh.

647
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:40,920
700 pounds of claws, teeth, and fur breaches the hot wire.

648
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,920
That is supposed to be like the ultimate barrier for him.

649
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,920
Rather than go near the car, peppered with pepper.

650
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:53,920
But with some encouragement, in the form of a marshmallow treat or ten,

651
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,920
he's brought back within the safe perimeter.

652
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,920
We have a confirm for a bear appellate.

653
00:40:58,920 --> 00:40:59,920
That works, that's awesome.

654
00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:03,920
Yep, the capsaicin, the active ingredient in the cayenne pepper,

655
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,920
is such a concentrated nasal irritant, it was just too much

656
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,920
for the bear's hypersensitive nose to bear.

657
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:15,920
And finally, the team has one homemade recipe that actually works.

658
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,920
Alright, Kari, so this is how it works.

659
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,920
The Pope is Catholic and bears do s*** with the woods.

660
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,920
Got it.
