FIRST UP, THE FANS ASK...

IT MAY NOT LOOK LIKE IT,

WE'RE GATHERING DATA.

IT MAY NOT LOOK LIKE IT,

IT MAY NOT LOOK LIKE IT,

LIKE THE PROVERBIAL PROVERB?

IT MAY NOT LOOK LIKE IT,

OOH, OOH, OOH, PICK ME!

IT MAY NOT LOOK LIKE IT,

THEN... HAVE AT IT.

I HOPE I DON'T GO PEE NOW 'CAUSE IT WOULD BE AWKWARD.

IT MAY NOT LOOK LIKE IT,

WHO ARE THE MYTHBUSTERS?

ADAM SAVAGE...

IS EVERYBODY OKAY?

ADAM SAVAGE...

...AND JAMIE HYNEMAN.

ADAM SAVAGE...

IT'S PARTY TIME.

ADAM SAVAGE...

BETWEEN THEM, MORE THAN 30 YEARS OF SPECIAL-EFFECTS EXPERIENCE.

ADAM SAVAGE...

TOGETHER WITH TORY BELLECI...

ADAM SAVAGE...

WE ONLY HAVE ONE SHOT AT THIS.

ADAM SAVAGE...

...GRANT IMAHARA...

ADAM SAVAGE...

THAT IS CRAZY! WHOO!

ADAM SAVAGE...

...AND KARI BYRON...

ADAM SAVAGE...

AH!

ADAM SAVAGE...

THEY DON'T JUST TELL THE MYTHS.

ADAM SAVAGE...

THEY PUT THEM TO THE TEST.

ADAM SAVAGE...

ADAM SAVAGE...

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

ADAM SAVAGE...

ROLL UP, ROLL UP.

ADAM SAVAGE...

THE RANDOMIZER RETURNS TO PUT YOUR IDEAS IN A LUCKY-DIP SPIN.

ADAM SAVAGE...

IT'S TIME TO TAKE SOME FANS' SUGGESTIONS.

ADAM SAVAGE...

IT'S TIME TO USE THE RANDOMIZER.

ADAM SAVAGE...

THAT WAS GOOD.

ADAM SAVAGE...

I ALMOST BELIEVED THAT YOU LIKE THIS CONVENTION.

ADAM SAVAGE...

JUST ROLL IT. ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.

ADAM SAVAGE...

AND LET'S SEE WHAT WE GOT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, YOU KNOW THE PHRASE

ADAM SAVAGE...

'I KNOW IT LIKE THE BACK OF MY HAND'?

ADAM SAVAGE...

"I THINK YOU GUYS SHOULD PUT THIS TO THE TEST --

ADAM SAVAGE...

HOW WELL DO PEOPLE ACTUALLY KNOW THE BACKS OF THEIR HAND?"

ADAM SAVAGE...

HMM. I LIKE THAT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAVEN'T DONE IT BEFORE.

ADAM SAVAGE...

ME NEITHER.

ADAM SAVAGE...

LET'S DO IT. OKAY.

ADAM SAVAGE...

IT'S A UBIQUITOUS, IDIOMATIC PHRASE

ADAM SAVAGE...

THAT HAS BEEN UNCHALLENGED FOR OVER 60 YEARS...

ADAM SAVAGE...

UNTIL NOW.

ADAM SAVAGE...

IS THE IMPLICIT PREMISE EVEN TRUE?

ADAM SAVAGE...

[ GASPS ]

ADAM SAVAGE...

DO WE REALLY KNOW THE BACK OF OUR HANDS THAT WELL?

ADAM SAVAGE...

TO FIND OUT, IT'S FACTS ON, GLOVES OFF.

ADAM SAVAGE...

SO, WHAT'S THE PLAN?

ADAM SAVAGE...

WELL, [SIGHS] I'M WORRIED THIS MIGHT BE TOO DIFFICULT,

ADAM SAVAGE...

BUT WHAT IF WE TOOK PICTURES OF THE BACKS OF 100 PEOPLE'S HANDS

ADAM SAVAGE...

AND WE USE THOSE AS A DATABASE?

ADAM SAVAGE...

THEN WE BRING IN, SAY, 12 VOLUNTEERS.

ADAM SAVAGE...

WE TAKE PICTURES OF THEIR HANDS,

ADAM SAVAGE...

AND THEN WE MAKE THEM PICK THEIR HAND OUT OF A LINEUP.

ADAM SAVAGE...

OKAY.

ADAM SAVAGE...

WELL, ONCE THEY GET HERE, WE SHOULD PUT MITTENS ON THEM

ADAM SAVAGE...

OR SOMETHING SO THEY CAN'T CHEAT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

TOTALLY RIGHT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

LET'S GO GET SOME VOLUNTEERS. LET'S DO IT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

SO, FIRST UP, IT'S A LINEUP AT A HANDY LOCATION --

ADAM SAVAGE...

JAMIE'S MIND?

ADAM SAVAGE...

PLACE ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL LIKE

ADAM SAVAGE...

I'M INSIDE THE NEUTRALITY OF THE HYNEMAN BRAIN.

ADAM SAVAGE...

NO, THAT HAS AN OCEAN BACKGROUND IN IT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

THIS IS A PHOTO STUDIO,

ADAM SAVAGE...

AND WE'VE GOT 100 PEOPLE WAITING OUTSIDE

ADAM SAVAGE...

FOR US TO PHOTOGRAPH THE BACKS OF THEIR HANDS.

ADAM SAVAGE...

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING ]

ADAM SAVAGE...

JUST HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW THE BACK OF YOUR HAND?

ADAM SAVAGE...

WITH THE HELP OF A LITTLE PHOTOGRAPHY,

ADAM SAVAGE...

SOME TEST SUBJECTS, AND SOME VOLUNTEERS,

ADAM SAVAGE...

THIS RIG IS GOING TO HELP US ANSWER THAT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

GO RIGHT ON OVER HERE, AND ADAM WILL SHOW YOU WHAT TO DO.

ADAM SAVAGE...

EACH OF OUR 100 VOLUNTEERS IS GOING TO WALK INTO THIS ROOM,

ADAM SAVAGE...

PLACE THEIR HAND ON THIS PLATFORM.

ADAM SAVAGE...

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

ADAM SAVAGE...

THE LIGHTING WILL BE IDENTICAL,

ADAM SAVAGE...

THE FRAMING WILL BE IDENTICAL,

ADAM SAVAGE...

AND WHEN WE GOT ALL 100 OF THOSE PHOTOGRAPHS...

ADAM SAVAGE...

NEXT!

ADAM SAVAGE...

...THAT'S THE DATABASE

ADAM SAVAGE...

WITH WHICH WE ARE GOING TO PUT THIS MYTH TO THE TEST.

ADAM SAVAGE...

WE'RE GATHERING DATA.

ADAM SAVAGE...

WITH 50 GUYS...

ADAM SAVAGE...

EXCELLENT. THANKS VERY MUCH.

ADAM SAVAGE...

...AND 50 GALS SNAPPED FOR SCIENCE,

ADAM SAVAGE...

ADAM AND JAMIE HAVE THEIR LIBRARY LINEUP.

ADAM SAVAGE...

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET TO TESTING.

ADAM SAVAGE...

AND BACK AT HAND H.Q., 12 BLINDFOLDED VOLUNTEERS

ADAM SAVAGE...

ARE WHEELED IN TO TAKE THE ACTUAL TEST.

ADAM SAVAGE...

DROP YOUR ELBOW A LITTLE BIT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

OUR TEST SUBJECTS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO

ADAM SAVAGE...

PICK THE BACK OF THEIR HAND OUT OF A LINEUP.

ADAM SAVAGE...

THAT LINEUP IS GOING TO INCLUDE

ADAM SAVAGE...

NINE OTHER HANDS PICKED FROM THE 50 THAT WE TOOK PHOTOS OF.

ADAM SAVAGE...

HERE'S THE FIRST ONE.

ADAM SAVAGE...

ALL RIGHT, LET'S PICK SOME HANDS THAT LOOK SIMILAR.

ADAM SAVAGE...

NOW, ALREADY, WE'RE CLEARLY CONTROLLING FOR GENDER.

ADAM SAVAGE...

WE ARE ALSO GOING TO CONTROL FOR RACE AND SHAPE.

ADAM SAVAGE...

THE MYTH ISN'T, "CAN YOU PICK YOUR HAND

ADAM SAVAGE...

OUT OF A RANDOM LINEUP OF PEOPLE'S HANDS?"

ADAM SAVAGE...

[ LAUGHS ]

ADAM SAVAGE...

I ALWAYS LOVE IT WHEN IT ALL STARTS TO COME TOGETHER.

ADAM SAVAGE...

LET'S BRING HER IN.

ADAM SAVAGE...

THE MYTH IS THAT IT'S ONE OF THE EASIEST POSSIBLE THINGS

ADAM SAVAGE...

'CAUSE YOU KNOW THIS BETTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

ADAM SAVAGE...

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE TO FIND OUT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

NOW, JILL, ONE OF THESE PICTURES IS OF THE BACK OF YOUR HAND.

ADAM SAVAGE...

WE WOULD LIKE YOU WITHIN 60 SECONDS,

ADAM SAVAGE...

TELL US WHICH ONE YOU THINK IS YOURS.

ADAM SAVAGE...

OKAY. UM...

ADAM SAVAGE...

Narrator: INTERESTINGLY, VOLUNTEER NUMBER ONE HESITATES.

ADAM SAVAGE...

MAYBE IT ISN'T AS SIMPLE AS THE MYTH WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE.

ADAM SAVAGE...

I THINK IT'S EIGHT OR NINE.

ADAM SAVAGE...

YOU THINK IT'S EIGHT OR NINE.

ADAM SAVAGE...

WHICH ONE WOULD YOU CHOOSE? I'M GONNA GO WITH NINE.

ADAM SAVAGE...

LET'S SEE HOW YOU DID.

ADAM SAVAGE...

YOU WERE RIGHT. IT'S YOU.

ADAM SAVAGE...

[ DING ] YES!

ADAM SAVAGE...

WELL DONE! EXCELLENT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

SO, INDECISION OR NOT, THE MYTH IS OFF TO A GOOD START.

ADAM SAVAGE...

YOU NAILED IT RIGHT AWAY.

ADAM SAVAGE...

HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

ADAM SAVAGE...

AND THE NEXT COUPLE OF HAND-PICKED HAND PICKERS...

ADAM SAVAGE...

THAT IS A FAST AND DECISIVE DECISION,

ADAM SAVAGE...

AND YOU WOULD BE CORRECT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

...ARE NOT ONLY SUCCESSFUL BUT MUCH FASTER.

ADAM SAVAGE...

I WOULD PROBABLY SAY TWO RIGHT OFF THE BAT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

TWO. YEAH. [ DING ]

ADAM SAVAGE...

UH, EIGHT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

Adam: DIMITRY'S AN INTERESTING CASE.

ADAM SAVAGE...

HE, LIKE A COUPLE OF OTHER OF OUR TEST SUBJECTS,

ADAM SAVAGE...

IDENTIFIED HIS HAND ALMOST INSTANTLY.

ADAM SAVAGE...

REALLY? THAT QUICKLY?

ADAM SAVAGE...

YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

[ DING ] AND IT'S YOU.

ADAM SAVAGE...

BUT HE TOLD US THAT AS HE WALKED UP

ADAM SAVAGE...

AND SAW THERE'S 10 HANDS AND HE'S GOT TO PICK HIS OUT,

ADAM SAVAGE...

HE THOUGHT, "OH, THIS IS GONNA BE REALLY DIFFICULT"

ADAM SAVAGE...

UNTIL HE SAW HIS HAND, AND THEN HE KNEW THAT WAS HIS.

ADAM SAVAGE...

NUMBER ONE. [ DING ]

ADAM SAVAGE...

YEP, YOU'RE CORRECT. COOL.

ADAM SAVAGE...

THAT'S SORT OF WHAT'S HAPPENING TO US.

ADAM SAVAGE...

IN THE ABSTRACT, WE THOUGHT THIS TEST WOULD BE REALLY DIFFICULT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

IN THE CONCRETE,

ADAM SAVAGE...

IT'S TURNING OUT TO BE A LOT EASIER THAN WE THOUGHT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

Narrator: WITH ONLY ONE FAILURE...

ADAM SAVAGE...

[ BEEP ]

ADAM SAVAGE...

I'M SORRY. IT'S NOT YOU.

ADAM SAVAGE...

...OUT OF 12, THE NUMBERS ARE VERY PERSUASIVE.

ADAM SAVAGE...

DEFINITELY NUMBER ONE.

ADAM SAVAGE...

THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF OUR VOLUNTEERS

ADAM SAVAGE...

KNOW THE BACK OF THEIR HANDS LIKE...

ADAM SAVAGE...

BINGO! YES!

ADAM SAVAGE...

YOU KNOW THE ENDING TO THIS LINE,

ADAM SAVAGE...

BUT IT'S NOT OVER YET.

ADAM SAVAGE...

WHY ISN'T THE PROVERB BASED ON ANOTHER BODY PART?

ADAM SAVAGE...

IS IT POSSIBLE TO REPLACE "BACK OF THE HAND"

ADAM SAVAGE...

FOR ANOTHER ANATOMICAL ARTICLE?

ADAM SAVAGE...

SHE NAILED IT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

QUESTION IS, WHAT?

ADAM SAVAGE...

I FEEL LIKE I WOULD KNOW

ADAM SAVAGE...

THE PALMS OF MY HANDS BETTER THAN THE BACKS OF MY HANDS.

ADAM SAVAGE...

AND WE'D KNOW OUR FACES BETTER, BUT THAT'S TOO EASY.

ADAM SAVAGE...

WE DO BRUSH OUR TEETH EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

YEAH, LET'S DO TEETH.

ADAM SAVAGE...

WHAT IF WE DID TEETH AND PALMS

ADAM SAVAGE...

AGAINST BACKS OF HANDS AND SEE HOW THEY COMPARE?

ADAM SAVAGE...

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

ADAM SAVAGE...

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

OKAY, I CAN'T WAIT. ALL RIGHT.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

[ BOING! ]

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

ALL RIGHT, "DEAR MYTHBUSTERS,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

I HAVE BEEN SEEING ONLINE A LOT OF PEOPLE,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

MOSTLY SHAOLIN MONKS,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

THROWING NEEDLES THROUGH PANES OF GLASS."

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

OH, YEAH, I'VE SEEN THIS.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

THE MONKS ARE STANDING FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE GLASS,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

MAYBE THREE OR FOUR FEET AWAY,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

AND THEY HAVE THESE FAIRLY HEAVY NEEDLES.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

THEY THROW THEM INTO THE GLASS [GRUNTS]

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

WITHOUT SHATTERING IT.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

DO THEY REALLY SAY [GRUNTS]

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

NO, I JUST MADE THAT UP.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

ALL RIGHT, WELL, THEY WANT TO KNOW, IS THIS AN ACTUAL OCCURRENCE,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

OR IS THIS JUST SPECIAL EFFECTS?

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

Narrator: ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

THIS MYTH'S A MONK SLAM DUNK

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

AS THE NEEDLE SOMEHOW PENETRATES THE GLASS

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

WITHOUT CAUSING IT TO SHATTER.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

BUT IS THIS JUST SHAOLIN SHENANIGANS?

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

OKAY, IN WATCHING THE VIDEO,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

IT LOOKS LIKE THE NEEDLE IS PRETTY CHUNKY,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE GLASS?

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

IT'S KIND OF HARD TO TELL.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

WHY DON'T WE DO THIS?

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

LET'S JUST TAKE REGULAR WINDOW GLASS,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

WHICH IS ABOUT 1/8 INCH THICK,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

AND WE JUST START THROWING NEEDLES AT IT,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

AND WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN PUNCH A HOLE THROUGH IT.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

SOUNDS GREAT, AND DEPENDING ON WHAT WE GET,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

WE CAN EITHER RAMP UP THE SPEED OF THE NEEDLE

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

OR USE THINNER GLASS.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

[ SWISHING ]

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

NOW, IN THIS MYTH, WE SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

A SHAOLIN MONK THROWING A NEEDLE,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

SUCH AS THIS ONE, THROUGH A PIECE OF GLASS.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

WE'VE GOT SOME LEFTOVER 1/8-INCH WINDOW GLASS

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

FROM A PREVIOUS EXPERIMENT. AGH!

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

YOU GUYS OKAY? EVERYBODY OKAY?

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

WE'VE ALSO GOT OUR HIGH-SPEED SCALE

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

TO TELL US HOW FAST WE'RE THROWING.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

BUT BEFORE WE ACTUALLY THROW NEEDLES AT GLASS,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

WE'VE SET UP OUR DART BOARD JUST TO SEE WHAT WE'RE GONNA GET.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

[ GRUNTS ]

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

[ SMACK! ]

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

Narrator: SO, FIRST UP,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

THE GUYS ARE STEPPING UP TO THE PRACTICE PLATE.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

GENERALLY, DEMONSTRATING SOME SORT OF PHYSICAL FEAT ON CAMERA

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

IS SOMETHING I DREAD,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

MOSTLY BECAUSE I LACK ANY SORT OF ATHLETIC SKILL,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

COORDINATION, OR GRACE.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

BUT MAYBE THROWING NEEDLES WILL BE MY THING

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

'CAUSE I HAVE SPENT SOME TIME WITH THE DART BOARD.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

Narrator: AND SURE ENOUGH, KARI'S GOT THIS ONE COVERED.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

BECAUSE OTHER THAN THE ODD BOUNCE BACK...

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

OW!

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

...SHE'S HITTING THE BOARD FIRST TIME EVERY TIME.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

EH?

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

NOBODY SAW IT? OH.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

AND WHEN GRANT AND TORY STEP UP TO THE PLATE...

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

THEY, TOO, FIND THAT EMBEDDING THE BOARD

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

IS SURPRISINGLY SIMPLE.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

WILL THE PENETRATION WITHOUT SHATTERATION

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

BE AS STRAIGHTFORWARD?

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

SO, MY TOP SPEED WAS 28 MILES AN HOUR.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

GRANT'S WAS 38, AND TORY'S WAS 47.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

NOW, WE'RE MOVING ON TO GLASS,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

AND THOUGH I THINK SPEED'S GONNA BE A MAJOR FACTOR,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

WE ALL STILL WANT TO GIVE THIS A GO 'CAUSE THIS IS REALLY FUN.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

Narrator: INDEED IT IS,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

AND FIRST UP IS THE LADY HERSELF.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

[ GONG SOUNDS ]

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

PUTTING A HOLE IN 1/8-INCH GLASS.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN PUNCH A HOLE THROUGH IT WITH THE NEEDLE.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

[ GLASS PINGS ] OH!

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

LOOKS LIKE THE WINDOW GOT ITS REVENGE.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

YEP, IN TAKE ONE,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

THE NEEDLE JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE POWER TO PIERCE THE PANE.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

TROUBLE IS, NEITHER DOES TAKE TWO, THREE, OR FOUR.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

NEXT UP IS GRANT.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

WILL HIS EXTRA THROWING SPEED GIVE HIM A HOLE IN ONE?

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

[ GLASS PINGING ]

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

[ LAUGHS ]

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

THIS SEEMS A LITTLE MORE DANGEROUS THAN I THOUGHT.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

YEAH. WHY --

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

BECAUSE HE'S BLEEDING? YEAH.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

Narrator: DESPITE A 10-MILE-AN-HOUR INCREASE ON KARI,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

GRANT'S NOT GETTING ANY PENETRATION SATISFACTION.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

[ GONG SOUNDS ] ENTER TORY.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

HE HAS A SIGNIFICANT AND SIZABLE 40% MORE KINETIC ENERGY

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

TO BRING TO THE PARTY.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

[ GLASS PINGING ]

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

Kari: WHOA!

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

DUDE, YOU'RE MAKING GOOD CONTACT.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

[ GLASS PINGING ]

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

IT'S THE HARDEST THROW YET...

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

OOH, STRIKE!

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

...BUT IT STILL BARELY GLANCED THE GLASS.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

[ GLASS PINGS ]

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

AGH! [ LAUGHS ]

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

DESPITE EVERY EFFORT,

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

THE ONLY THING BUSTED AROUND HERE IS THE MYTH.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

BUT ALL IS NOT LOST.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

SO FAR, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

A SINGLE NEEDLE TO FLY THROUGH THE GLASS.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

[ GLASS PINGS ]

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

I JUST DON'T THINK WE'RE THROWING THESE NEEDLES FAST ENOUGH.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

I MEAN, WE'RE HITTING THE GLASS, AND WE'RE HITTING IT CORRECTLY.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

THE PROBLEM IS THE SPEED OF THE NEEDLE.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

WE NEED TO BRING SOMEBODY IN

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

WHO CAN THROW OBJECTS MUCH FASTER THAN US.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

I THINK WE NEED TO BRING IN A PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL PITCHER.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

Narrator: AND NOT JUST ANY BASEBALL PITCHER

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

BUT ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS.

NEXT UP, THE RANDOMIZER THROWS UP SOME MONK MAYHEM?

LATER...

GO. ...ON "MYTHBUSTERS"...

LATER...

ADAM AND JAMIE RAMP IT DOWN TO SCIENCE IT UP.

LATER...

Jamie: BIG PROBLEM HERE IS TRACTION.

LATER...

AND DID WE MENTION MATT CAIN'S STOPPING BY?

LATER...

Tory: OH, MY GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

LATER...

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

LATER...

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

AND WE DO IN FACT KNOW THE BACK OF OUR HANDS.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

ANY VOLUNTEERS FOR THE NEXT TEST SUBJECT?

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

OOH, OOH, OOH, PICK ME!

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

BUT THE PROVERB ISN'T PROVEN YET.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

IS IT ANATOMICALLY ACCURATE?

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

SO, TEETH AND PALMS. YEP.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

SAME METHODOLOGY AS BACKS OF HANDS?

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

I THINK SO. LET'S KEEP ON GOING WITH IT.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

SO, THE NUMBER TO BEAT IS 11 OUT OF 12.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

AND FIRST UP, WILL OUR VOLUNTEERS

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

HAVE BETTER FORTUNE READING THEIR PALMS?

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

I THINK IT'S EIGHT.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

TWO QUICK, CORRECT RESULTS...

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

AND YOU'VE GOT IT RIGHT. YES!

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

...AND IT'S A GOOD START.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

[ DING ] AND YOU'RE RIGHT.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

BUT BY PALM PICKER NUMBER THREE,

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

IT'S CLEAR IT'S A TRICKIER TASK.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

YEAH, NUMBER FOUR.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

[ BEEP ]

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

THAT IS NOT YOU. DAMN!

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

LOOKS A LOT LIKE ME.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

Adam: YOU KNOW, JAMIE, IT'S FUNNY.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

I THOUGHT THAT THE PALMS WOULD BE EVEN MORE DISTINCTIVE THAN THE BACKS OF THE HANDS.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

IT'S NINE.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

REALLY? YEAH.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

[ DING ] YOU ARE CORRECT.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

[ SIGHS ]

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

BUT ALL AT ONCE, THEY END UP LOOKING KIND OF MORE UNIFORM.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

WELL, LET'S SEE WHAT THE NUMBERS SAY.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

Narrator: THE NUMBERS...

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

GONNA GO WITH FOUR. FOUR, ALL RIGHT.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

THOUGH I'M NOT VERY CONFIDENT. NOT VERY CONFIDENT.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

IT IS NOT YOU. YEAH.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

...SOON ADD UP TO A DECISIVE CONCLUSION --

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

PICKING OUR PALMS OUT OF A LINEUP IS DOWN FOR THE COUNT.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

IT'S NOT NUMBER TWO.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

THAT ONE'S WAY TOUGHER.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

Adam: THE RESULTS OF THE PALMS ARE IN.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

7 OUT OF 12 OF OUR TEST SUBJECTS

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

WERE CORRECTLY ABLE TO IDENTIFY THEIR PALM IN THE LINEUP.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

THAT'S STATISTICALLY BETTER THAN GUESSING BY A LITTLE BIT

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

BUT NOT NEARLY THE LEVEL OF FAMILIARITY

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

WE WOULD NEED TO CONFIRM

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

"I KNOW IT LIKE THE PALM OF MY HAND"

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

AS AN IDIOMATIC PHRASE.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

PALMS ARE OUT. [ SWISH! ]

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

Narrator: WHICH ONLY STRENGTHENS THE CASE

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

FOR A MYTH CONFIRMATION.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

I'LL LET YOU GUESS WHAT OUR NEXT TEST IS.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

AFTER ALL, DENTAL RECORDS, LIKE A FINGERPRINT,

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

ARE USED FOR LEGAL IDENTIFICATION.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

Adam: I THINK I HAD A NIGHTMARE LIKE THIS ONCE.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

SURELY, THEY'RE MORE DISTINCTIVE THAN THE BACK OF YOUR HAND.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

NOW WE'RE ABOUT TO TEST

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

HOW WELL PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THEIR OWN TEETH.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

TAKE YOUR TIME. LOOK AT THEM ALL.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

LET US KNOW WHICH ONES YOU THINK ARE YOURS.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

Adam: AND FROM THE GET-GO,

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD BE THE TEST

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

THAT PEOPLE HAD THE EASIEST TIME OF RECOGNIZING.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

WHICH SET WAS THEIR CHOPPERS?

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

THAT ONE'S MINE.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

WOW, YOU KNOW YOUR TEETH VERY WELL.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

I FEEL THEM EVERY DAY. [ LAUGHS ]

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

[ DING ]

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

Narrator: ADAM'S ASSUMPTION...

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

YES, YOU ARE IN FACT CORRECT.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

...WOULD MEAN 12 FROM 12 CORRECT RESULTS.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

RIGHT.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

WHICH ONE -- NUMBER EIGHT.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

REALLY? THAT FAST?

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

[ DING ]

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

[ Laughing ] YEAH, THERE YOU GO.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

DING! YOU WIN!

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

AND AS TIME IS CRUNCHED...

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

YOU GOT IT.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

...IT'S POSSIBLE HE'S RIGHT.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

AND YOU DID IT.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

YOU NAILED IT. YAY!

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

THAT ONE. [ DING ]

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

[ DING ]

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

REALLY? THAT QUICKLY?

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

YOU'RE CORRECT.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

OKAY. [ LAUGHS ]

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

WAS THIS ONE HARDER THAN THE BACK OF THE HAND?

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

IT WAS MUCH HARDER.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

JUST TWO LEFT, AND IT'S DOWN TO THE WIRE.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

I THINK IT'S NUMBER ONE.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

LET'S SEE HOW YOU DID.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

[ BEEP ] NOPE.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

NO!

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

YOU IN FACT... WERE NUMBER SEVEN.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

OH.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

[ BEEP ] OH, MY GOD!

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

YOU ARE WRONG.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

Narrator: AND IT'S THOSE TWO FINAL FAILURES

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

THAT MEAN THIS VIEWER-REQUESTED MINI MYTH IS ALL WRAPPED UP.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

SO, HOW DO YOU WANT TO CALL THIS?

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

WELL, I THINK "I KNOW IT LIKE THE BACK OF MY HAND"

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

IS AN IDIOMATIC PHRASE WE HAVE TO LEAVE ALONE

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

AS ESSENTIALLY CONFIRMED.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

ALL OF OUR TEST SUBJECTS WERE TOTALLY INTIMATE

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

WITH WHAT THE BACKS OF THEIR HANDS LOOKED LIKE.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

I AGREE, BUT ONE MORE THING.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

WHAT'S THAT?

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

I DON'T EVER WANT TO BE A DENTIST.

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

NO, ME NEITHER. [ LAUGHS ]

Narrator: THE NUMBERS ARE IN,

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

THROUGH A SHEET OF GLASS.

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

NOW, WE STARTED WITH 1/8-INCH GLASS

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

AND PERFECTED OUR TECHNIQUE, SLOWLY INCREASED OUR SPEEDS,

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

AND SO FAR HAVEN'T HAD ANY SUCCESS.

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

[ GONG SOUNDS ]

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

SO, WE NEED TO RAMP UP THE VELOCITY OF OUR NEEDLE,

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

SO WE HAVE BROUGHT IN

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

ONE OF THE FASTEST PITCHERS IN THE WORLD OF BASEBALL.

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

HE IS A GIANT IN THE FIELD.

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

IN FACT, HE IS ONE OF 23 HUMANS

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

TO EVER PITCH A PERFECT GAME IN THE HISTORY OF BASEBALL.

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

HE IS NONE OTHER THAN MATT CAIN.

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

OH, MY GOD, I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS.

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

Narrator: IF ANYONE CAN TAKE AIM AT THIS MYTH,

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

IT'S SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS' SUPERSTAR PITCHER MATT CAIN.

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

NOT ONLY DOES HE HAVE A FRIGHTENINGLY FAST FAST BALL

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

BUT HIS PERFECT GAME,

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

STRIKING OUT 14 BATTERS ON THE WAY TO A 10-ZIP WIN,

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

PLACED HIM ALONGSIDE THE GREATEST EVER.

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

HE'S A LIVING LEGEND.

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

BUT FIRST, WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT HOW FAST HE CAN THROW,

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LITTLE MATCHUP.

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

TORY'S GONNA THROW A BASEBALL,

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

THEN MATT CAIN'S GONNA THROW A BASEBALL.

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

I'M GOING TO MEASURE IT WITH THE SPEED GUN,

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

AND THEN WE'RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT TORY.

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

YEP, TO PROVE THEY'VE GOT THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS...

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

WARM UP A LITTLE BIT HERE.

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

...TORY AND MATT ARE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE HEAD-TO-HEAD.

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

[ SIGHS ] HEY, MATT.

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

ALL RIGHT, NOW, JUST TO WARN YOU,

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

I PLAYED A LITTLE LITTLE LEAGUE GROWING UP,

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

SO LET ME JUST SHOW YOU HOW I DO IT.

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

Grant: GO, TORY!

SO, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THROW A NEEDLE

Kari: WOW, THAT WAS SCORCHING HOT.

Narrator: A SCORCHING HOT 48 MILES AN HOUR.

Kari: WOW, THAT WAS SCORCHING HOT.

Tory: ALL RIGHT, SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Kari: WOW, THAT WAS SCORCHING HOT.

THINK I GOT A SHOT?

Kari: WOW, THAT WAS SCORCHING HOT.

UM, NO.

Kari: WOW, THAT WAS SCORCHING HOT.

[ LAUGHTER ]

Kari: WOW, THAT WAS SCORCHING HOT.

YEAH, MY MONEY'S ON MATT.

Kari: WOW, THAT WAS SCORCHING HOT.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

UH, DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY THIS OUT LOUD,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

OR IS THIS GONNA DIMINISH YOU AS A MAN?

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT 92? [ LAUGHS ]

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

WOW! ALL RIGHT, 92.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

WELL, I THINK YOU'RE READY TO START THROWING NEEDLES.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

THINK WE CAN MOVE ON. YOU'VE LEARNED WELL.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

[ LAUGHTER ]

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

Kari: I THINK MATT CAIN IS THE MAN FOR THE JOB.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

I MEAN, HE DOUBLED THE SPEED AT WHICH TORY COULD THROW.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

SO, FOR THE MYTH, WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON TO 1/8-INCH GLASS,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

THEN AFTER THAT, IF IT DOESN'T WORK, 1/16-INCH.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

IF THAT DOESN'T WORK,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

WE'RE GONNA GO ON TO ANTIQUE GLASS, WHICH IS ONLY 1/32-INCH.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

THIS MIGHT GIVE SOME VALIDITY TO THE MYTH.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

I MEAN, THE MAN'S GOT A CANNON FOR AN ARM.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

Narrator: AND ONCE THE CANNON'S GOT HIS AMMUNITION,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

IT'S ALL SYSTEMS THROW.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

[ GLASS PINGING ]

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S CHIPPING.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

[ GLASS PINGING ]

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

YEAH, I THINK THAT WAS MY BEST SHOT RIGHT THERE.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

WHY DON'T WE CHECK THE HIGH SPEED AND SEE HOW FAST YOU'RE THROWING?

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S HITTING REALLY WELL.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

Grant: YEAH.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

IT'S STILL NOT PUNCHING A HOLE.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

Narrator: INCREDIBLY, THE HIGH-SPEED REVEALS

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

THAT MATT'S BEST THROW PEAKED AT 105 MILES AN HOUR,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

EQUALING THE FASTEST BASEBALL PITCH EVER RECORDED.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

OKAY, MATT IS THROWING THESE NEEDLES

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

SO MUCH HARDER THAN WE WERE.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

I MEAN, JUST TO ILLUSTRATE THE POINT,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

AS I WAS PICKING THEM UP, I NOTICED THEY'RE BENT.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

THAT JUST SHOWS HOW MUCH ENERGY

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

IS ACTUALLY GOING INTO THAT NEEDLE

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

AND TRYING TO PENETRATE THAT GLASS.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

[ GLASS PINGS ]

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

Narrator: BUT DESPITE THE SPEED AND POWER,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

THE 1/8-INCH GLASS HOLDS FIRM UNTIL...

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

I WISH THAT'D HAVE BEEN THE ONE.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

[ LAUGHS ] OH, MY GOD!

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

WOW!

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

Narrator: "WOW" IS RIGHT.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

WITH THE REDUCED MASS OF THE NEEDLE COMPARED TO A BASEBALL,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

MATT MANAGES TO UNLEASH A 113-MILES-AN-HOUR MISSILE

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

THAT TAKES A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

BUT STILL FAILS TO FLY THROUGH,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

WHICH MEANS IT'S TIME TO TRIM THE FAT.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

OKAY, SO, THIS IS 1/16-INCH GLASS.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

NOW, BECAUSE IT'S THINNER,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

IT REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY REQUIRED TO PUNCH THROUGH.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

BUT THE TRADE-OFF IS THAT

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

INSTEAD OF PUNCHING A HOLE THROUGH IT,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

IT MAY SHATTER COMPLETELY.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

Tory: ALL RIGHT, MATT, REMEMBER ALL YOUR SHAOLIN TRAINING.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

I WANT YOU TO JUST PUNCH A HOLE RIGHT THROUGH THAT GLASS.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

Narrator: ONCE AGAIN, MATT LAUNCHES NEEDLE AFTER NEEDLE

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

WITH ONLY A DIVOT FOR HIS EFFORTS.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

THAT WAS A GOOD ONE. THAT SOUNDED GOOD.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

DID IT LEAVE A LITTLE NICK? YEAH, IT DID.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

YEAH. [ LAUGHS ]

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

Narrator: BUT ON THROW EIGHT,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

THERE'S FINALLY A SHATTER TO CELEBRATE.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED THERE?

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

THE NEEDLE SHATTERED. Grant: THE NEEDLE SHATTERED.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

YOU SHATTERED THE NEEDLE!

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

YOU ARE A SHAOLIN MONK.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

[ LAUGHTER ]

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

Narrator: AMAZINGLY, MATT HAS BUSTED THE STEEL NEEDLE

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

AND LEFT THE GLASS UTTERLY UNTOUCHED,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

WHICH DOESN'T BODE WELL FOR THE MYTH.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

OKAY, SO, MATT COULDN'T BREAK THE 1/16-INCH GLASS.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

WE'RE MOVING ON TO 1/32.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

NOW, THIS IS ACTUALLY HARD TO FIND.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

YOU HAVE TO FIND THIS IN AN ANTIQUE STORE.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

IT'S VERY THIN GLASS.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

IF HE CAN MAKE IT THROUGH HERE, I THINK IT'S STILL PLAUSIBLE.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

Narrator: INDEED, BUT THE PROBLEM HERE

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

IS THAT THIS GLASS IS SO FRAGILE,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

IT MAY SOONER GET SMASHED THAN SPEARED.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

Tory: YOU BROKE THE GLASS WITH A NEEDLE.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

THAT'S INSANE.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

[ GLASS SHATTERS ]

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

YES, BUT IT DIDN'T EXACTLY HAPPEN

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

LIKE THE MONK DID IT IN THE VIDEO.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

IT'S JUST THE GLASS IS SO FRAGILE.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

Kari: SO AT THIS POINT, IT DOESN'T GO THROUGH.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

IT JUST SMASHES THE GLASS. YEAH.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

Tory: IN ORDER FOR US TO GET THE NEEDLE TO PUNCH A CLEAN HOLE,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET THESE NEEDLES TRAVELING A LOT FASTER.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

ALL RIGHT, WELL, THIS IS BUSTED FOR A HUMAN,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

BUT AMAZING ACHIEVEMENT, MAN.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

NICE WORK. PRETTY FUN.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

[ LAUGHTER ]

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

Narrator: "FUN" IS RIGHT.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

MATT THREW A MEDLEY OF MINI MISSILES

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

BUT COULD NEVER MATCH THE VIRAL VIDEO.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

HAVING THE NEEDLE PASS THROUGH THE GLASS,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

WHICH IS LEFT OTHERWISE INTACT,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

HAS PROVED IMPOSSIBLE EVEN FOR THIS PERFECT PITCHER.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

LOOK, WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY USED IN THE VIDEO.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

WE DON'T KNOW IF THEY USED REAL GLASS,

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

IF THAT WAS A REAL NEEDLE.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

HERE'S WHAT WE DO KNOW.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT WHAT IT TAKES

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

TO PUNCH A HOLE IN A SHEET OF GLASS

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

WITHOUT SHATTERING IT.

Grant: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID HE GET?

Narrator: NEXT UP,

ADAM AND JAMIE TACKLE AN AQUATIC, TWO-WHEEL TALL TALE.

Narrator: NEXT UP,

SO, ONE MORE RANDOMIZER THING?

Narrator: NEXT UP,

YES, INDEED.

Narrator: NEXT UP,

SPIN IT.

Narrator: NEXT UP,

ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.

Narrator: NEXT UP,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

TO RIDE A BICYCLE UNDERWATER."

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

WHY WOULD YOU NEED TO RIDE A BICYCLE UNDERWATER?

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

THAT TOTALLY DOESN'T MATTER.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

WHAT MATTERS IS THAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE IMPOSSIBLE,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

WHICH MEANS IT'S ABSOLUTELY SOMETHING WE SHOULD TEST.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

YEAH, BUT WHY WOULD YOU NEED TO DO THAT?

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

[ SIGHS ]

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

LET'S CUT TO A SWIMMING POOL, LIKE, RIGHT AWAY.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

IT'S A CLASSIC CLASSROOM CONUNDRUM --

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

A PHYSICS PROBLEM ADAM, AT LEAST, CAN'T RESIST CRACKING.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

SO AT YOUR REQUEST, THEY HIT THE POOL

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AND DIVE IN AT THE DEEP END OF THE SCIENCE.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

NOW, THE MYTH HERE IS THAT YOU CAN'T RIDE A BIKE UNDERWATER,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AND ON THE FACE OF IT, I CAN SEE THERE MIGHT BE SOME PROBLEMS,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

MAINLY SURROUNDING THE FACT

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

THAT WATER IS SO MUCH MORE DENSE THAN AIR IS.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

Jamie: THAT WAS A SATISFYING THUD.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

NOW, THIS IS GONNA MEAN

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

THAT IT'S A LOT HARDER TO MOVE THROUGH IT,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AND RELATIVELY SPEAKING, YOUR WEIGHT UNDERWATER

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

IS A LOT LESS THAN IT IS ABOVE WATER.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AND SO YOU MAY HAVE STABILITY OR TRACTION PROBLEMS.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE TO FIND OUT.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

NOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES RIDING A BICYCLE

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

ABOVE THE WATER POSSIBLE

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

IS THAT THE FORWARD MOMENTUM OF THE BICYCLE

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

HELPS KEEP YOU UPRIGHT.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

NOW, FORWARD MOMENTUM'S GONNA COME

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AT QUITE A PREMIUM UNDERWATER.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

I DON'T EXPECT TO EVER BE ABLE TO EVEN GO THIS FAST.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

WHAT IS THAT GONNA DO TO MY BALANCE?

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

BUT I EXPECT IT'S GONNA MAKE THINGS A LOT MORE DIFFICULT.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

Narrator: SO, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THEORIES AND PHYSICAL FACTORS

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

THAT MEAN THIS MYTH MIGHT BE SUNK,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

Jamie: ADAM'S GONNA HAVE THE FIRST GO AT RIDING A BIKE UNDERWATER,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AND HE'S PRETTY MUCH JUST GONNA GET IN THE WATER AND GO FOR IT.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

YOU READY? Jamie: GO FOR IT.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

NOW, TO RIDE A BIKE UNDERWATER,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

THE WHEELS ARE GONNA HAVE TO CONTACT THE GROUND.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

SO IF HE'S FLOATING, THAT'S NOT RIDING A BIKE.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

SO FAR, SO GOOD.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

YEAH, YOU'RE PROPELLING YOURSELF, AREN'T YOU?

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

I AM PROPELLING MYSELF, AND THE WHEELS ARE SPINNING.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

Narrator: IT'S SO FAR, SO GOOD,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

BUT RIDING A BIKE HALF UNDERWATER

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

IS ONLY HALF RIDING A BIKE UNDERWATER.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

TO REALLY TEST THIS,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

ADAM'S GOT TO SUBMERGE TO FIND OUT.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AND THERE HE GOES.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AND THERE HE DOESN'T.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

HIS FRONT WHEEL'S NO LONGER ROLLING.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

HE'S WHEELIE-ING, ACTUALLY.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

[ LAUGHS ]

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

Adam: FOR THAT TEST,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

RIDING A BIKE HALFWAY SUBMERGED IN THE WATER --

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

A LOT EASIER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

BUT ONCE I GOT FULLY UNDERWATER,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

IT WAS, WELL, JUST AS IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MYTH WILL SUGGEST,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

BUT WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS TO TRY

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

BEFORE WE CALL IT JUST YET.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

I THINK I NEED MORE WEIGHT.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

Narrator: ADAM'S THEORY ON HIS FAILURE IS HIS BUOYANCY.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

TO COUNTERACT THAT, HE NEEDS MORE MASS --

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

ENOUGH SO THAT HE CAN KEEP IN CONTACT WITH THE GROUND.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

THAT'S ABOUT 50 EXTRA POUNDS.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AND THIS TIME, HE'S BUYING MORE TIME BELOW THE SURFACE

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

WITH A SCUBA TANK.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

RIDING A BIKE UNDERWATER.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

SO, CAN ADAM DO A LAP OF THE POOL ON A BICYCLE UNDERWATER?

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

THAT'S THE BENCHMARK THE GUYS HAVE SET THEMSELVES

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

FOR A MYTHBUSTING RESULT.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

LIKE THE LAST TEST, HE'S STARTED WELL.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

GOING DOWNHILL, IT ALL SEEMS TO BE WORKING.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

Jamie: MOVING ALONG LIKE A CHARM.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

BUT IT'S DECEPTIVE.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

DOWN INTO THE DEEP HE GOES,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

BUT AFTER HE TURNS TO COME BACK, HIS PROBLEMS BECOME APPARENT.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

A LACK OF TRACTION MEANS THE BACK WHEEL FREEWHEELS,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AND THAT MEANS ADAM'S GOING DOWN.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

HOW'D YOU DO?

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

Adam: SO, WHILE I WAS SORT OF MOVING MYSELF FORWARD,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

IT REALLY COULDN'T BE CALLED RIDING A BIKE.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

IT WAS MORE LIKE SEMI-CONTROLLED FLOATING.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

SECOND OF ALL, WHILE I WAS ABLE TO GO DOWNHILL,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK UP.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

Adam: WELL, WE HAVE YET TO ACHIEVE

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

ANYTHING THAT I WOULD CALL RIDING A BIKE UNDERWATER,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

BUT JAMIE IS GONNA GIVE IT A SHOT.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

THE WATER'S GREAT.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

HE'S GONNA PUT SOME WEIGHT ON THIS BIKE

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AND TRY IT HIS OWN SELF AND SEE WHAT HE CAN FIGURE OUT.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

I'M GONNA FOLLOW ALONG IN SCUBA.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

Narrator: SO, WITH AN ADDITIONAL 25 POUNDS

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

PROVIDING EXTRA DOWN FORCE, JAMIE SETS OFF.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

BUT DESPITE HIS BEST EFFORTS, THE RESULT IS THE SAME AS ADAM.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

THE UPWARD FORCE OF BUOYANCY

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

MEANS JAMIE'S WHEELS ARE SPINNING OUT.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

HE CAN'T TRANSFER PEDAL POWER INTO FORWARD MOTION

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

THROUGH CONTACT WITH THE GROUND,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

WHICH LEAVES THE MYTH FINELY BALANCED,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

UNLIKE AN UNDERWATER, BIKE-RIDING HYNEMAN.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

Adam: WELL, THE MYTH IS THAT RIDING A BICYCLE UNDERWATER

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

IS IMPOSSIBLE,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AND WHILE I THINK WE'VE PRETTY CLEANLY SHOWN

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

THAT IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

I DON'T THINK WE'VE YET SHOWN THAT IT'S TOTALLY POSSIBLE.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

SEE, I THINK OF A BIKE RIDING

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AS SOMETHING THAT CONVEYS YOU ACROSS A SURFACE,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AND YOU CAN RIDE IT UPHILL AND DOWNHILL,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AND IT GIVES YOU A MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

SO FAR, UNDERWATER,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

WE'VE JUST BEEN ABLE TO SORT OF CONTROL OUR FLOATING.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

THIS IS NOT A VEHICLE OF CONVEYANCE UNDERWATER -- YET.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF IDEAS UP MY SLEEVE THAT MAY MAKE IT ONE.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

THE BIG PROBLEM HERE IS TRACTION,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AND TO ME, THAT MEANS THAT WE NEED MORE WEIGHT --

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

A LOT MORE WEIGHT.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

IT MIGHT EVEN BE A COUPLE HUNDRED POUNDS.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

LET'S SAY WE EACH PUT OUR IDEAS TO THE TEST,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

COME BACK TO THIS POOL,

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AND HAVE A LITTLE UNDERWATER CHALLENGE

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

TO SEE WHO CAN OFFICIALLY RIDE A BIKE UNDERWATER.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

A LITTLE RACE?

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

A LITTLE RACE.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

WORKS FOR ME.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

LET'S DO IT.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

Narrator: NEXT ON "MYTHBUSTERS"...

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

YOUR REQUEST...

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

ALL RIGHT, SO, THE POTTY DANCE --

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

HERE'S WHY IT MIGHT WORK.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

Narrator: ...LEADS TO A BLADDER-BUSTING TEST.

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

WHY IS IT FOAMY?

"DEAR MYTHBUSTERS, I HEARD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

DO NOT TRY WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE AT HOME.

WE'RE WHAT YOU CALL EXPERTS.

DO NOT TRY WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE AT HOME.

Narrator: IT'S THE RISE OF THE RANDOMIZER.

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

Narrator: IT'S THE RISE OF THE RANDOMIZER.

THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE TAKING A RANDOM SELECTION

Narrator: IT'S THE RISE OF THE RANDOMIZER.

OF YOUR MADCAP MINI MYTH REQUESTS

Narrator: IT'S THE RISE OF THE RANDOMIZER.

AND PUTTING THEM TO THE TEST.

Narrator: IT'S THE RISE OF THE RANDOMIZER.

ALL RIGHT. HERE WE GO.

Narrator: IT'S THE RISE OF THE RANDOMIZER.

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

FROM SOMEONE CALLED KING OF MARY.

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

[ LAUGHS ] THIS IS A GOOD ONE.

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

"WHY IS IT THAT WHEN SOMEONE HAS TO PEE, THEY SHAKE AROUND?

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

DOESN'T THAT MAKE THE FEELING WORSE?"

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

THE POTTY DANCE.

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

NOW, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

WHAT THE POTTY DANCE LOOKS LIKE, KARI'S ABOUT TO DEMONSTRATE.

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

[ WHIRRING ]

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

THERE YOU HAVE IT.

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

NICE WORK.

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

WELL, THAT IS AN INTERESTING IDEA.

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

I MEAN, YOU WOULD THINK THAT JUMPING AROUND

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

WOULD ACTUALLY SLOSH AROUND THAT PEE

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

AND CREATE MORE PRESSURE ON YOUR BLADDER.

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

YEAH, YOU KNOW, I WOULD THINK

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

THAT IT'D BE BETTER JUST TO SIT QUIETLY AND RELAX.

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

NAH, I THINK THE POTTY DANCE WORKS.

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

WE SHOULD TEST THIS.

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

LET'S GET OUR ADULT DIAPERS ON.

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

ALREADY GOT MINE.

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

[ BOING! ]

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

Narrator: SO, DOES THE POTTY DANCE REALLY HELP YOU HOLD OUT?

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

CAN YOU AVOID THE CAN BY DOING THE CAN-CAN?

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

WILL A PEE JIG, WEE WALTZ, OR TINKLE TANGO

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

REALLY HELP OR ACTUALLY HINDER?

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

THIS ONE COMES FROM THE FAN SITE

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

WE'VE ALL COME TO WORK WITH COMPLETELY EMPTY BLADDERS.

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

WE'RE GOING TO CONSUME 2 LITERS OF WATER...

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

CHEERS. TO SCIENCE.

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

CHEERS.

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

Kari: ...AND TIME HOW LONG IT TAKES BEFORE WE JUST HAVE TO PEE.

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

OKAY.

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

[ GULPING ]

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

2 LITERS.

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

GET READY, BLADDER, 'CAUSE HERE IT COMES.

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

Grant: SO, WE'VE SET UP THREE CLOCKS

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

TO TIME HOW LONG IT TAKES EACH OF US

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

BEFORE WE JUST CAN'T HOLD IT ANY LONGER.

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

NOT THINKING ABOUT PEEING.

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

NOW, FOR THIS CONTROL,

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

WE WON'T BE EMPLOYING ANY SPECIAL TECHNIQUES,

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

THERE'LL BE NO DANCING, NO MEDITATING --

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

JUST REGULAR BEHAVIOR

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

OR...AT LEAST AS REGULAR AS IT GETS FOR US.

FIRST UP FOR THE POTTY-DANCE EXPERIMENT IS THE CONTROL.

AND ONCE WE'RE READY TO OPEN THE VALVES AND LET IT FLOW,

WE'RE GONNA COME TO THIS --

AND ONCE WE'RE READY TO OPEN THE VALVES AND LET IT FLOW,

THE OFFICIAL MYTHBUSTERS DATA DISPOSAL UNIT.

AND ONCE WE'RE READY TO OPEN THE VALVES AND LET IT FLOW,

ONCE WE'RE DONE WITH THE CONTROL TEST,

AND ONCE WE'RE READY TO OPEN THE VALVES AND LET IT FLOW,

THEN WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON TO THE POTTY DANCE.

AND ONCE WE'RE READY TO OPEN THE VALVES AND LET IT FLOW,

Narrator: SO, FOR THE BASE LINE,

THE GUYS SIMPLY WENT ABOUT THEIR DAY

Narrator: SO, FOR THE BASE LINE,

AND TRIED TO HANG ON FOR AS LONG AS THEY COULD.

Narrator: SO, FOR THE BASE LINE,

[ LAUGHS ]

Narrator: SO, FOR THE BASE LINE,

I THINK I MIGHT NEED A 5-GALLON BUCKET.

Narrator: SO, FOR THE BASE LINE,

HA!

Narrator: SO, FOR THE BASE LINE,

Narrator: AND FOR TORY...

Narrator: SO, FOR THE BASE LINE,

[ TORY SIGHS ]

Narrator: SO, FOR THE BASE LINE,

Narrator: ...THAT WAS CLOSE TO TWO HOURS AFTER DRINKING 2 LITERS.

Narrator: SO, FOR THE BASE LINE,

[ TORY WAILING ]

Narrator: SO, FOR THE BASE LINE,

[ SIGHS ]

Narrator: TORY'S RELIEF SENDS GRANT OVER THE EDGE.

[ SIGHS ]

ALL RIGHT, GET OUT OF THE WAY.

[ SIGHS ]

THAT'S SO GROSS.

[ SIGHS ]

AND 40 MINUTES LATER,

[ SIGHS ]

AFTER KARI NOT SO MUCH SPENDS A PENNY AS A DOLLAR...

[ SIGHS ]

YOU DONE?

SHAKING, REALLY?

YOU DONE?

OH, MY GOD!

YOU DONE?

LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF PEE YOU GOT THERE!

YOU DONE?

THAT IS A LOT!

YOU DONE?

Narrator: ...THE CONTROL IS COMPLETE.

YOU DONE?

Kari: SO, AFTER ABOUT TWO HOURS AND 40 MINUTES, I HAD TO GO,

YOU DONE?

WHICH IS 40 MINUTES MORE THAN THE BOYS,

YOU DONE?

BUT I PEED AT LEAST 30% MORE.

YOU DONE?

I'M IMPRESSED ON HOW YOU ACTUALLY PEED IN THE BUCKET.

YOU DONE?

YOGA.

YOU DONE?

SO, TOMORROW, WE'RE GONNA DO THIS AGAIN,

YOU DONE?

TRY WITH THE POTTY DANCE,

YOU DONE?

SEE HOW LONG WE CAN HOLD IT THEN.

YOU DONE?

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

Narrator: AND THE NEXT DAY,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

AFTER FOLLOWING EXACTLY THE SAME PROCEDURE AS THE CONTROL...

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

ALL RIGHT, ONE DOWN.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

...2 LITERS OF WATER INTO AN EMPTY SYSTEM,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

THE GUYS WILL ATTEMPT TO STAVE OFF THE DESIRE TO PEE

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

WITH A LITTLE POTTY DANCING.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

HOWEVER, KARI IS DUBIOUS.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

ALL RIGHT, SO, THE POTTY DANCE --

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

HERE'S WHY IT MIGHT WORK.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

THE POTTY DANCE IS SIMPLE AND BASIC.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

IT'S JUST THIS. IT'S THIS ONE.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

IS THAT IT? YEAH.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

WHEN YOU'RE DANCING, YOU KIND OF --

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

IT'S ALMOST LIKE A MEDITATION.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

[ MOANS ] OH, BOY.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

YOU KNOW WHAT HELPS IS TO, LIKE, KIND OF BEND OVER.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

IT DISTRACTS YOU. IT'S A MIND-OVER-MATTER THING.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

AGH, GOT IT!

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

MAYBE THE MOONWALK.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

MIGHT MAKE IT SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PEE.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

THIS HELPING YOU?

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

A LITTLE.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

I HOPE I DON'T GO PEE NOW.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

THIS WOULD BE AWKWARD.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

STEPPING OFF.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, ALL THAT JIGGLING AND BOUNCING,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

IT'S GONNA PUT PRESSURE ON YOUR BLADDER.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

IT MIGHT ACTUALLY FORCE THE PEE TO HAPPEN BEFORE YOU'RE READY.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

Narrator: AND FOR TORY, THAT APPEARS TO BE THE CASE.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

THIS IS NOT HELPING.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

IT'S ACTUALLY HURTING.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

[ ALL SHOUT ]

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S IT. I'M OUT.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

Tory: APPARENTLY, THE PEE-PEE DANCE DIDN'T WORK FOR ME AT ALL.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

I CAN'T LISTEN TO IT.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

[ MOANING ]

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

IT CAUSED ME TO GO TO THE BATHROOM

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

A HALF-HOUR SOONER THAN I DID IN THE CONTROL TEST,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

SO RIGHT NOW, IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR THE MYTH.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

[ SIGHS ]

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER. WHEW!

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

Narrator: NOPE.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

AND ALTHOUGH GRANT GRITS HIS TEETH, GRIPS HIS PANTS,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

AND PAINFULLY SHUFFLES AROUND FOR ANOTHER 20 MINUTES,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

HE'S ALSO SHORT OF HIS CONTROL TIME.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

[ SIGHS ] OH, MY GOSH!

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

WHY IS IT FOAMY?

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

IT CAME OUT AT HIGH VELOCITY.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

IT WANTED TO GET OUT.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

Narrator: BUT KARI -- KARI HAS HER GROOVE ON,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

A GROOVE THAT ENABLES HER TO SHIMMY AND SWING

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

A FULL SEVEN MINUTES PAST HER BASE LINE.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

Kari: THIS IS WORKING FOR ME

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

'CAUSE IF I STOP, I WILL WET MY PANTS.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

I MIGHT HAVE TO DANCE ALL THE WAY INTO THE POTTY.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

I'M GONNA HAVE TO DANCE MY PANTS DOWN,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

AND I'M GONNA HAVE TO DANCE INTO THE POTTY,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

AND I'M GONNA HAVE TO DANCE THE PEE OUT BECAUSE --

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT FOR ME.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

WHOA!

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

[ EXHALES SHARPLY ] OH, GOD!

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

[ LAUGHS ] KEEP DANCING.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

WHOA!

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

Narrator: SO, THE TEST CLIMAXES...

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

[ KARI SIGHS ]

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

Narrator: ...IN A STRANGE, CONTRADICTORY RESULT.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

THE BOYS FELT THAT THE MOVING AROUND MADE THINGS WORSE,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

WHICH WAS REFLECTED IN THEIR TIMES,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

BUT THE MOVEMENT INCREASED KARI'S ABILITY TO HOLD ON.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

SO, WITH INCONCLUSIVE RESULTS,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

WHAT'S REQUIRED IS A THIRD TEST --

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

A CONTRASTING TECHNIQUE TO THE MYTHICAL POTTY DANCE.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

THIS TIME, THE TEAM IS GOING THE FULL ZEN.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

THIS TIME, IT'S MIND OVER BLADDER.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

IT'S MENTAL...

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

OM...

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

...AND PHYSICAL RELAXATION.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

PIZZA...

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

AS THE TIME TICKS ALONG,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

THE TEAM IS TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

THEY ZONE, BLISS, AND CHILL OUT,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

ATTEMPTING TO BANISH BLADDER-BURSTING THOUGHTS

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

UNTIL THEY CAN'T STAND IT ANY LONGER.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

ALL RIGHT, SO, IT'S TWO HOURS AND FIVE MINUTES.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

I HAVE "TECHNICALLY" BEATEN MY CONTROL TEST,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

SO "TECHNICALLY" THE ZEN TECHNIQUE IS BETTER

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

BUT NOT BY MUCH.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

Narrator: SO, FOR TORY,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

IT WAS A MARGINAL IMPROVEMENT ON HIS CONTROL

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

AND SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN THE POTTY DANCE.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

Tory: OH, GOD, THAT FEELS GOOD.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

Narrator: AND 40 MINUTES LATER,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

KARI MAINTAINS HER CONSISTENCY WITH ANOTHER SIMILAR TIME.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

[ KARI SIGHS ]

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

Narrator: BUT GRANT SERENELY SAILS PAST HIS CONTROL

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

BY A MASSIVE 47 MINUTES,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

WHICH LEAVES A MIXED BLADDER OF RESULTS.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

Kari: ALL RIGHT, WITH THE RESULTS IN,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE VERY HARD

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

TO COME UP WITH SOME SORT OF SWEEPING CONCLUSION.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

EVERYBODY'S ANATOMY IS SO DIFFERENT.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

FOR ME, THE POTTY DANCE AND THE ZEN METHOD

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

BOTH HELPED ME PROLONG HAVING TO GO TO THE BATHROOM.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

TORY -- NOTHING HELPED.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

HE HAD TO GO, AND HE HAD TO GO QUICK.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

GRANT -- THE ZEN METHOD REALLY HELPED HIM OUT.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

SO GUESS IT COMES DOWN TO EVERYBODY'S DIFFERENT.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

Narrator: AND THAT IS THE MORAL OF THE STORY --

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

WHATEVER WORKS WORKS UNTIL IT DOESN'T,

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

THEN YOU JUST GOT TO GO.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

[ German accent ] I WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF PEOPLE'S HANDS

BECAUSE IN AMERICAN CULTURE,

[ German accent ] I WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF PEOPLE'S HANDS

THERE ARE MANY IDIOMATIC PHRASES ABOUT THE HANDS,

[ German accent ] I WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF PEOPLE'S HANDS

AND I WANTED TO APPROACH THAT

[ German accent ] I WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF PEOPLE'S HANDS

FROM A PHOTOGRAPHIC AND ARTISTIC STANDPOINT.

[ German accent ] I WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF PEOPLE'S HANDS

AND THESE PHRASES ARE THINGS LIKE "HAND OVER YOUR HEART"

[ German accent ] I WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF PEOPLE'S HANDS

AND "HAND-ME-DOWNS," "HELPING HAND," "'HAND' SOLO,"

[ German accent ] I WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF PEOPLE'S HANDS

THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

[ German accent ] I WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF PEOPLE'S HANDS

YOU CAN MAKE OF IT WHAT YOU LIKE.

[ German accent ] I WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF PEOPLE'S HANDS

[ Normal voice ] SO, JAMIE, HOW DO YOU THINK

[ German accent ] I WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF PEOPLE'S HANDS

THIS ONE'S GONNA TURN OUT?

[ German accent ] I WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF PEOPLE'S HANDS

I DON'T KNOW. I'M SPEECHLESS.

[ German accent ] I WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF PEOPLE'S HANDS

[ LAUGHS ]

[ German accent ] I WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF PEOPLE'S HANDS

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

DO THE LAWS OF PHYSICS REALLY MAKE

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

A SUBAQUATIC SPIN ON A BICYCLE

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

UNATTAINABLE, UNACHIEVABLE, AND UNFEASIBLE?

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

ADAM AND JAMIE ARE BLOWING SOME BUBBLES TO FIND OUT.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

Jamie: HE'S MOVING ALONG LIKE A CHARM.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

Adam: IT SEEMED TO BE GOING PRETTY WELL

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

UNTIL WE ATTEMPTED TO RIDE BACK OUT OF THE DEEP END HERE,

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

AT WHICH POINT THE BICYCLE STOPPED BEHAVING LIKE A BICYCLE

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

AND STARTED BEHAVING LIKE A HEAVY WEIGHT.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

THERE HE GOES, AND HE'S FALLING OFF IT THIS TIME.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

SO, UNDAUNTED, WE HAVE EACH MADE ASSUMPTIONS

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT IT WOULD TAKE

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

TO MAKE A BICYCLE DRIVE UNDERWATER

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

AND ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

Narrator: YEP, BACK AT THE SHOP, ADAM AND JAMIE WENT HEAD-TO-HEAD

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

AND EMBARKED ON A TOP-SECRET BIKE BUILD-OFF.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

DON'T TELL JAMIE.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

IN ORDER TO GET MORE TRACTION,

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

I'M GONNA MAKE MY BIKE REALLY HEAVY,

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

BUT I'VE ALSO FILLED THE TIRES WITH CORN SYRUP.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS IS GONNA WORK.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

BUT IT'S FUNNY.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

Narrator: FUNNY AND A SOLID SCIENTIFIC THEORY.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

THE SYRUPY FILLING WILL SPREAD THE TIRES,

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

PROVIDING MORE SURFACE CONTACT AND MORE TRACTION.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

HE ALSO ADDED 50 EXTRA POUNDS OF WEIGHT.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

I THINK IT'S PERFECT.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

Narrator: BUT JAMIE...

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

COUPLE OF LEAD TRAINING WHEELS.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

Narrator: ...TOOK A MORE HEAVY-HANDED APPROACH.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

Jamie: I'VE ADDED 120 POUNDS OF TRAINING WHEELS

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

TO THE BACK OF THIS BIKE

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

AND ANOTHER 20 OR SO ON THE FRONT.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

I THINK IT'S GONNA GIVE ME ALL THE TRACTION I NEED.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

I'M READY.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

Narrator: SO THEY EACH HAVE A MECHANICAL SOLUTION

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

THEY BELIEVE WILL GIVE THIS MYTH ITS BEST SHOT.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

JAMIE FOCUSED ON WEIGHT AND STABILITY.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

ADAM WENT FOR TRACTION.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

TO SEE IF EITHER WORKED,

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

THEY INTRODUCE A LITTLE COMPETITIVE ADRENALINE.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

Adam: THE RACE STARTS HERE AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

AS SOON AS I START THE TIMER GOING,

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

JAMIE DIVES STRAIGHT INTO THE WATER.

Narrator: IT'S A RANDOMIZER REQUEST FEST.

THE MOMENT HE CROSSES THE FINISH LINE,

I WAVE THE CHECKERED FLAG AND TELL HIM HIS TIME.

THE MOMENT HE CROSSES THE FINISH LINE,

ARE YOU READY?

THE MOMENT HE CROSSES THE FINISH LINE,

READY AS I'LL EVER BE.

THE MOMENT HE CROSSES THE FINISH LINE,

THEN IT'LL BE MY TURN.

THE MOMENT HE CROSSES THE FINISH LINE,

Narrator: SO, THEY'RE ALL SET FOR THE TOUR DE POOL.

THE MOMENT HE CROSSES THE FINISH LINE,

Adam: GO.

THE MOMENT HE CROSSES THE FINISH LINE,

...A UNIQUELY MYTHBUSTER-ISH EVENT.

THE MOMENT HE CROSSES THE FINISH LINE,

[ LAUGHS ]

Adam: MOST PECULIAR START TO ANY RACE EVER.

[ LAUGHS ]

I LIKE WATCHING THE TOP OF HIS BALD HEAD

[ LAUGHS ]

DISAPPEAR INTO THE WATER.

[ LAUGHS ]

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO FOLLOW HIM.

[ LAUGHS ]

EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE GOING SMOOTHLY.

[ LAUGHS ]

NOW HE'S COASTING DOWNHILL --

[ LAUGHS ]

165 POUNDS OF BIKE, 180 POUNDS OF HYNEMAN.

[ LAUGHS ]

HE'S ROUNDING THE CONE.

[ LAUGHS ]

THIS IS WHERE WE RAN INTO TROUBLE

[ LAUGHS ]

LAST TIME WE WERE IN THIS POOL -- GOING BACK UP.

[ LAUGHS ]

THE WHOLE DESIGN OF HIS BIKE IS ABOUT

[ LAUGHS ]

GETTING HIM BACK UP THE HILL, GIVING HIM ENOUGH TRACTION.

[ LAUGHS ]

Narrator: BUT ALL OF THE EXTRA MASS...

[ LAUGHS ]

Adam: OOH! OOH! OOH!

[ LAUGHS ]

Narrator: ...DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AIDING JAMIE'S CAUSE.

[ LAUGHS ]

IN FACT, IT SEEMS TO BE MORE OF A 160-POUND HINDRANCE

[ LAUGHS ]

THAN HELP.

[ LAUGHS ]

Adam: IT MAY JUST BE TOO MUCH WEIGHT FOR HIM TO GET UP THAT SLOPE.

[ LAUGHS ]

Narrator: JAMIE WAS HOPING THE DOWN FORCE FROM THE ADDITIONAL WEIGHT

[ LAUGHS ]

WOULD HELP MAINTAIN CONTACT WITH THE GROUND.

[ LAUGHS ]

IT'S A MARGINAL IMPROVEMENT

[ LAUGHS ]

BUT NOT ENOUGH TO ESCAPE THE DEEP END,

[ LAUGHS ]

AND IN THE END, HE HAS TO USE HIS FEET TO GET TO THE TOP.

[ LAUGHS ]

Adam: IT'S LITTLE HYNEMAN THAT COULD...

[ LAUGHS ]

INCH BY INCH, MAKING IT OUT OF THE DEEP END ALL ON HIS OWN.

[ LAUGHS ]

Narrator: AND IN A BURST OF SLOW,

[ LAUGHS ]

JAMIE FINISHES AND DELIVERS HIS VERDICT.

[ LAUGHS ]

THAT WAS ABSURD. [ CHUCKLES ]

[ LAUGHS ]

THIS WAS FAR WORSE THAN THE UNMODIFIED BIKE.

[ LAUGHS ]

YOU KNOW, MORE WEIGHT IS HARDER TO PULL UPHILL.

[ LAUGHS ]

IT STILL DIDN'T HAVE PERFECT TRACTION.

[ LAUGHS ]

WELL, SINCE I TRIED THAT APPROACH,

[ LAUGHS ]

I TRIED ADDING LESS WEIGHT

[ LAUGHS ]

AND CHANGING THE TIRE CONSISTENCY

[ LAUGHS ]

TO TRY AND EXPLOIT THAT,

[ LAUGHS ]

LET'S SAY I HAVE A RUN, AND WE'LL SEE WHERE WE GET.

[ LAUGHS ]

Narrator: SO, IN CONCLUSION, MORE MASS COUNTERACTS THE BUOYANCY,

[ LAUGHS ]

BUT THE DRAG IS A DRAG.

[ LAUGHS ]

...ONE...GO.

[ LAUGHS ]

QUESTION IS, CAN ADAM COMPLETE HIS LAP?

[ LAUGHS ]

THERE HE GOES. SO FAR, SO GOOD.

[ LAUGHS ]

OH, I CAN TELL ALREADY

[ LAUGHS ]

HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S DOING A LOT BETTER THAN I WAS.

[ LAUGHS ]

AND HERE COMES THE HARD PART.

[ LAUGHS ]

Narrator: KING OF THE MOUNTAIN, HE'S NOT.

[ LAUGHS ]

Jamie: AND HE'S HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS.

[ LAUGHS ]

Narrator: MAYBE IF HE COULD HEAR JAMIE'S ENCOURAGEMENT,

[ LAUGHS ]

HE MIGHT DO BETTER.

[ LAUGHS ]

OH, DOWN HE GOES. [ CHUCKLES ]

[ LAUGHS ]

BOY, THAT MAKES ME FEEL A LOT BETTER.

[ LAUGHS ]

Narrator: MAYBE NOT.

[ LAUGHS ]

Adam: THE GOOD NEWS IS THE MODS I MADE ON THIS BIKE

[ LAUGHS ]

ARE A RADICAL IMPROVEMENT OVER THE UNMODIFIED BIKE.

[ LAUGHS ]

THE SOFT TIRES AND MORE WEIGHT

[ LAUGHS ]

MADE THIS BIKE HAVE MUCH BETTER TRACTION.

[ LAUGHS ]

HOWEVER, I WAS NOT ABLE, EVEN WITH THOSE IMPROVEMENTS,

[ LAUGHS ]

TO GET OUT OF THE DEEP END UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

[ LAUGHS ]

AT THIS POINT, IT'S PRETTY MUCH AN EVEN RACE.

[ LAUGHS ]

IN OTHER WORDS, WE BOTH FAILED.

[ LAUGHS ]

Adam: AND I THINK YOU'LL HAVE TO AGREE

[ LAUGHS ]

I GAVE IT EVERY SHOT I HAD.

[ LAUGHS ]

SO, HOW DID WE DO ON OUR OBSTACLE COURSE?

[ LAUGHS ]

WE SUCKED.

[ LAUGHS ]

WE DIDN'T SUCK.

[ LAUGHS ]

WE GAVE IT A GOOD TRY.

[ LAUGHS ]

THE IDEA OF RIDING A BICYCLE UPHILL UNDERWATER --

[ LAUGHS ]

THAT'S WHAT I THINK SUCKS.

[ LAUGHS ]

YEAH, I THOUGHT WE COULD HAVE DONE A LOT BETTER,

[ LAUGHS ]

BUT WE JUST COULDN'T DO IT.

[ LAUGHS ]

WE COULDN'T GO UPHILL.

[ LAUGHS ]

NO, BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS

[ LAUGHS ]

WE HAVE THIS IDIOMATIC PHRASE THAT WE CAN NOW ANSWER,

[ LAUGHS ]

"IS RIDING A BICYCLE UNDERWATER IMPOSSIBLE?"

[ LAUGHS ]

NO, IT'S NOT.

[ LAUGHS ]

NO, I THINK ON THE FLAT, WITH A VERY SHALLOW GRADE,

[ LAUGHS ]

IT'S TOTALLY FEASIBLE,

[ LAUGHS ]

AND BOTH OF US WERE ABLE TO DO IT.

[ LAUGHS ]

AND THAT MEANS THE MYTH IS BUSTED.

[ LAUGHS ]

TOTALLY BUSTED.

[ LAUGHS ]

BUT SO IS OUR ABILITY TO RIDE UPHILL UNDERWATER.

[ LAUGHS ]

AND WE RUINED A COUPLE OF PERFECTLY GOOD BIKES.

[ LAUGHS ]

IT'S ALL IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE.

[ LAUGHS ]

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

[ LAUGHS ]

[ CHUCKLES ]

[ LAUGHS ]

WANT TO KNOW WHY WE DID WHAT WE DID

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT

HAVE THROWN AND DANCED THEIR WAY THROUGH THE REQUEST FEST.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT

BUT ONE BUSTED MYTH'S ABOUT TO GET A TWIST IN THE TALE.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

WITH THIS WHOLE NEEDLE-THROWING MYTH.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

I SAY WE TAKE A PELLET GUN, MODIFY IT,

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

AND SEE HOW FAST WE CAN GET THAT NEEDLE GOING

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

AND THEN SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

I LOVE IT. LET'S DO IT.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

WE'RE TRYING TO REPLICATE WHAT WE SAW ON THE INTERNET --

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

A SHAOLIN MONK THROWING A NEEDLE THROUGH A PANE OF GLASS

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

WITH A CLEAN HOLE.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

WE STARTED OUT WITH JUST MAN POWER.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

DIDN'T WORK.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

THEN WE MOVED UP TO SUPERMAN POWER AND USED MATT CAIN,

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

WHO HAS THE FASTEST ARM IN THE WEST.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

SO NOW WE'RE GONNA TRY SOMETHING WITH EVEN MORE POWER --

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

AN AIR RIFLE.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Narrator: YEP. AN AIR RIFLE.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

AS HIS CHAOS-MAKER OF CHOICE,

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

IT'S GOT "TORY" WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

NOW, I'VE SHOT OUT A LOT OF WINDOWS WITH THESE,

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

BUT I'VE NEVER SHOT ONE OUT WITH A NEEDLE.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

I'VE NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

BUT THERE IS A PROBLEM.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

THE NEEDLE IS VERY THIN.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

IT'S NOT THE SAME DIAMETER AS THE BARREL OF THE GUN.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO USE THIS SABOT

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

TO CAPTURE THE AIR PRESSURE

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

TO SHOOT THE NEEDLE DOWN TOWARDS THE GLASS.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Narrator: WITH THE RIFLE CAPABLE OF SHOOTING AT 180 MILES AN HOUR,

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

THE 1/8-INCH GLASS, AND THE MYTH,

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

IS FACING ITS FINAL FIRING SQUAD.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

THIS IS 1/8-INCH GLASS WITH A NEEDLE AND AIR RIFLE.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

HERE WE GO IN THREE, TWO, ONE.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

[ AIR RIFLE FIRES ]

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

OOH.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

LET'S SEE WHAT THAT DID.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

THAT LOOKED LIKE A NICE HIT.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

WOW.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Narrator: BUT NO CIGAR.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

A GOOD POINT-FIRST CONTACT, AND NO PENETRATION.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

BUT WITH A SPEED OF 140 MILES AN HOUR,

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

THE TEAM STILL HAS A CHANCE TO FURTHER PUMP UP THEIR CHANCES,

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

BECAUSE WITH AN EXTRA PUMP OR TWO COMES MORE POWER.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

[ AIR RIFLE FIRES ]

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

IS THAT A DIVOT? IT IS.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Narrator: THIS TIME, THE NEEDLE ROCKETS OUT AT 160 MILES AN HOUR,

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

BUT AGAIN, NO PENETRATION.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

HOWEVER, THE DIVOT DAMAGE IS PROMISING.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

SO FOR THE FINAL TIME,

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

TORY CRANKS THE GUN TO THE MAX, 180 MILES AN HOUR.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

...ONE.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

[ AIR RIFLE FIRES ]

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

OH!

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

[ GRANT LAUGHS ]

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

THAT LOOKED GOOD!

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

IT PUNCHED A PERFECT HOLE JUST LIKE THE SHAOLIN MONK DID!

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

DUDE, SO THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES -- INCREDIBLE SPEED.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Narrator: INCREDIBLE SPEED INDEED.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

A FULL 70 MILES AN HOUR FASTER

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

THAN MATT "THE CANON" CAIN'S BEST THROW

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

WAS THE MAGIC NUMBER.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

AND WITH THE PHYSICS LAID BARE,

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

THE TEAM SUSPECTS AN ALTERNATIVE TECHNIQUE WAS USED.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

IT'S NOT A HOAX,

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

BUT IT SEEMS THERE'S MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

TO THIS MYTHICAL MONK MAGIC.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

I'M GONNA SAY THIS IS BUSTED, STILL,

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

BECAUSE I JUST DON'T THINK

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

THAT ANY HUMAN IS GONNA BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

TOTALLY BUSTED.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

ABSOLUTELY BUSTED.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

NOW, THE MYTH THAT YOU COULD THROW A NEEDLE

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

THROUGH A PANE OF GLASS IS TOTALLY BUSTED.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

WE TRIED EVERYTHING WE COULD TO GET THIS TO HAPPEN.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

WE THREW IT OURSELVES.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

WE EVEN BROUGHT IN A PROFESSIONAL PITCHER.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

AND WE CHANGED THE THICKNESS OF THE GLASS,

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

AND WE COULD STILL NOT GET A PERFECT-PUNCHED HOLE.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

FINALLY, AFTER USING THE AIR RIFLE

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

WERE WE ABLE TO PUNCH A PERFECT HOLE.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

BUT REMEMBER, THAT'S GETTING THE NEEDLE

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

TO TRAVEL AT ALMOST 200 MILES AN HOUR.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT THIS ONE,

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

IT IS BUSTED.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS

LET'S JUST HOPE THE SHAOLIN MONKS DON'T HAVE CABLE.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS
