1
00:00:10,090 --> 00:00:14,990
On this episode of Mythbusters... I'm so
excited, I just can't stand it. Jamie

2
00:00:14,990 --> 00:00:18,990
and Adam do a little painting and
detonating. You can paint your house

3
00:00:18,990 --> 00:00:20,650
explosives? That's crazy!

4
00:00:21,110 --> 00:00:25,890
When they ask the question, can you
decorate with dynamite? Fire in the

5
00:00:27,570 --> 00:00:32,130
And the Bill team go mental when they
test mind control techniques.

6
00:00:32,810 --> 00:00:35,970
I'm ready to make him take his breath.

7
00:00:37,410 --> 00:00:39,050
Who are the Mythbusters?

8
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:41,080
Adam Savage.

9
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,800
And Jamie Heineman. Aren't Tracer rounds
illegal?

10
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:51,700
Between them, over 30 years special
effects experience.

11
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:53,820
That's what I'm talking about!

12
00:00:54,220 --> 00:00:56,220
Joining them, Tori Bellacci.

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,940
Science is fun.

14
00:00:58,220 --> 00:01:00,160
Carrie Byron. Guess what I did today?

15
00:01:00,580 --> 00:01:01,780
And Grant Imahara.

16
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:07,700
You guys ready for this? They don't just
tell the myths, they put them to the

17
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:08,700
test.

18
00:01:20,750 --> 00:01:26,230
After extensive research, watching old
TV reruns, Adam and Jamie have lit the

19
00:01:26,230 --> 00:01:28,510
fuse on a myth of explosive proportions.

20
00:01:29,770 --> 00:01:34,010
Attempting to take the pain out of
painting, Mr. Bean shows us a home

21
00:01:34,010 --> 00:01:35,070
improvement shortcut.

22
00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:41,530
A bucket of paint, the mythical stick of
dynamite, and the perfect paint job.

23
00:01:46,410 --> 00:01:47,410
So that's our task.

24
00:01:47,630 --> 00:01:52,010
This British comedy show, the guy is
lazy, doesn't want to paint his room,

25
00:01:52,010 --> 00:01:55,890
a stick of dynamite in a gallon of
paint, and blows it up, and that's going

26
00:01:55,890 --> 00:01:56,848
paint the whole room.

27
00:01:56,850 --> 00:02:02,590
You know, it's a chance for us to do
some creative exploding of things, and I

28
00:02:02,590 --> 00:02:05,730
think we can have a lot of fun with it.
To recreate the myth, they'll need a

29
00:02:05,730 --> 00:02:10,289
small room, a gallon of paint, one
unlucky neighbor for the human

30
00:02:10,530 --> 00:02:12,830
and a dash of dynamite. What's the plan?

31
00:02:14,030 --> 00:02:18,170
Well... Because it'd sort of defeat the
purpose of this whole thing if you blew

32
00:02:18,170 --> 00:02:21,790
up the actual house that you were trying
to paint in the process of using

33
00:02:21,790 --> 00:02:25,850
explosives to spread the paint. Yeah. So
I think we should use a real house,

34
00:02:25,890 --> 00:02:26,890
like we did in Bug Bomb.

35
00:02:27,130 --> 00:02:28,790
Big boom! Big boom! Big boom!

36
00:02:30,050 --> 00:02:33,870
In Bug Bomb, they used a real house and
did some real damage.

37
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:41,350
But with house prices heating up,
they'll have to build a house of their

38
00:02:41,650 --> 00:02:43,370
That's what we're talking about!

39
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,340
To stick to the myth, their property
needs just one property. It has to have

40
00:02:49,340 --> 00:02:51,620
structural integrity of a real home.

41
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,120
But with only a day to build it, the
schedule is tight.

42
00:02:55,340 --> 00:02:57,720
Okay, here's what I've got for a
materials list.

43
00:02:58,860 --> 00:03:02,420
They have their list for supplies, and
they head for the hardware store.

44
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,040
So you got your list?

45
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:05,560
No, I forgot the list.

46
00:03:06,380 --> 00:03:09,840
You did? I totally did. I drove down
here without my truck.

47
00:03:15,310 --> 00:03:18,510
You know what? I have to say, I think
forgetting your truck is worse than

48
00:03:18,510 --> 00:03:19,489
forgetting the list.

49
00:03:19,490 --> 00:03:23,830
Yeah, well, I don't know. I was like,
let's go, and everybody's like, okay.

50
00:03:25,050 --> 00:03:26,950
Does someone want to take Jamie back and
get the truck?

51
00:03:27,470 --> 00:03:31,350
Yeah, well, you can pull the order, you
know, and I'll be back probably by the

52
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:32,610
time you get done. Yeah. All right.

53
00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:35,930
We're on fire today.

54
00:03:36,610 --> 00:03:41,630
The only thing burning is the schedule,
but sales associate Tom Stein comes to

55
00:03:41,630 --> 00:03:43,690
the rescue. We're building a 10 by 10
foot.

56
00:03:45,230 --> 00:03:46,430
Eight feet high.

57
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:49,130
We're going to build it. We're making a
box.

58
00:03:49,530 --> 00:03:54,530
A simple box with one window, one door.
And with Tom leading the way, Adam is in

59
00:03:54,530 --> 00:03:58,330
hardware heaven. In just 20 minutes,
he's got everything he needs.

60
00:03:58,770 --> 00:04:04,330
Timber, drywall, screw gun, a window, a
door, and free home delivery.

61
00:04:04,650 --> 00:04:06,010
Really glad you brought the truck.

62
00:04:06,430 --> 00:04:07,430
Yeah, so am I.

63
00:04:08,350 --> 00:04:12,890
Next, an Adam goes shopping for paint.
Cue the weird retail request.

64
00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:18,290
We're looking at painting a room with
dynamite. Oh, neat.

65
00:04:18,630 --> 00:04:21,589
Neat is unlikely to feature on this
paint job.

66
00:04:21,829 --> 00:04:26,410
So after Adam picks out a few colors, he
gives the paint store the brush off.

67
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,840
Back at the workshop, and the
construction for destruction is

68
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,420
One of the first questions that comes up
in looking at this myth is, can a room

69
00:04:38,420 --> 00:04:40,000
withstand an explosion?

70
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,320
An explosion big enough to paint that
room. So there'll be no shirking on

71
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,330
quality. Because when the paint hits the
walls, they don't want to blow the

72
00:04:48,330 --> 00:04:51,870
house down. Now we're on the
construction phase. We've got to build

73
00:04:51,870 --> 00:04:55,010
blow things up in, and we can't just
build the whole thing and take it on the

74
00:04:55,010 --> 00:04:56,070
truck. We've got to build it in pieces.

75
00:04:56,410 --> 00:05:01,610
The modular house includes two floor and
ceiling sections, which Jamie tackles.

76
00:05:01,710 --> 00:05:04,330
And Adam assembles the four sheetrock
walls.

77
00:05:05,690 --> 00:05:07,330
Note the difference in style.

78
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,140
Dude, this is the rockinest thing.

79
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,500
That is the cool ass.

80
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,760
They're done and on schedule.

81
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,220
This is convincing me to hire someone
else because there's a renovation in my

82
00:05:31,220 --> 00:05:35,120
house. And with the neighbors a little
sensitive about dynamite in the

83
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,880
our team of painters and detonators pack
up and head for the Alameda County Bomb

84
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,380
Disposal Range. Hold on.

85
00:05:43,060 --> 00:05:44,060
Don't tell me.

86
00:05:44,330 --> 00:05:45,850
So you checked the height on them,
right?

87
00:05:46,690 --> 00:05:47,690
It's a miracle!

88
00:05:47,850 --> 00:05:52,190
The team load up and find that it's not
the size of the house you erect, but

89
00:05:52,190 --> 00:05:53,610
whether it fits in the truck.

90
00:06:01,070 --> 00:06:04,590
I understand you guys have a real mind
-bender of a story here.

91
00:06:05,110 --> 00:06:09,210
Yeah, we're actually going to test the
classic, conspiracist favorite of

92
00:06:09,210 --> 00:06:10,210
government mind control.

93
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:14,680
Well, that could be all sorts of things,
couldn't it? I mean, like hypnosis, for

94
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,920
example, or I know they did some testing
where they put electrodes into your

95
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,740
brain and put a little current through
it that can make you do certain things.

96
00:06:22,170 --> 00:06:24,190
Look into the hypnotic eye.

97
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:30,450
It's long been a sci -fi favorite. In
the 1950s, mind control was a recurring

98
00:06:30,450 --> 00:06:35,630
theme in B -movies, where women became
the playthings of a psychic psycho.

99
00:06:35,970 --> 00:06:37,750
Your body is glowing stiff.

100
00:06:37,970 --> 00:06:43,070
Today, conspiracy theorists claim
governments still use an array of mind

101
00:06:43,070 --> 00:06:46,550
techniques to have their wicked way with
Joe Public.

102
00:06:46,910 --> 00:06:52,570
Yes, it could be many, many things, but
ethically here on Mythbusters, we can't

103
00:06:52,570 --> 00:06:54,570
go around putting chips in people's
heads.

104
00:06:54,850 --> 00:06:58,870
So we're going to start right off from
the beginning and define it very

105
00:06:58,870 --> 00:07:04,170
narrowly. And our definition of mind
control is a device which can remotely

106
00:07:04,170 --> 00:07:08,690
influence a person's behavior without
their knowledge or their consent.

107
00:07:09,030 --> 00:07:11,930
We're also going to use the criteria
that you guys used on free energy. We're

108
00:07:11,930 --> 00:07:15,710
only going to use plans, kits, or
patents that we can find on the web. And

109
00:07:15,710 --> 00:07:16,710
are a lot of them.

110
00:07:17,410 --> 00:07:22,810
Mind Control follows the well -trodden
MythBusters path of Oogie Boogie Myth.

111
00:07:22,950 --> 00:07:28,530
Wow. Adam and Jamie established the
genre when they tested and busted the

112
00:07:28,530 --> 00:07:33,210
conspiracy theory that government
microchips were being secretly planted

113
00:07:33,210 --> 00:07:34,210
blood donors.

114
00:07:34,650 --> 00:07:39,410
Then there was the Pyramid Power
Puzzler, which Carrie and co. consigned

115
00:07:39,410 --> 00:07:40,410
busted bin.

116
00:07:40,470 --> 00:07:43,150
All right, Grant, so we have three kits
that we got off the Internet for Mind

117
00:07:43,150 --> 00:07:45,470
Control. One here is psionic helmet.

118
00:07:46,090 --> 00:07:51,050
We got here an electronic hypnotizer,
and then this is a silent sound mind

119
00:07:51,050 --> 00:07:51,929
control device.

120
00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:53,450
Which one do you think you want to do
first?

121
00:07:53,750 --> 00:07:58,770
Well, I do the electronic stuff all the
time, so I think I'm most interested in

122
00:07:58,770 --> 00:07:59,770
the psionic helmet.

123
00:08:00,390 --> 00:08:07,190
This is the psionic helmet, and I am not
exactly

124
00:08:07,190 --> 00:08:10,910
sure what principle it works on, but if
I would have to guess...

125
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,860
I think it would be able to enhance my
own inherent telepathic ability.

126
00:08:16,220 --> 00:08:22,020
At $290, the Build It Yourself kit
consists of, let's face it, a bicycle

127
00:08:22,020 --> 00:08:25,980
and a wooden dowel wrapped in leather
and topped with a crystal.

128
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:34,020
But there's more to it than that.
According to the plans, the psychic

129
00:08:34,020 --> 00:08:38,919
the crystal rod require fine tuning, so
Grant wires it up to a couple of control

130
00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:39,919
knobs.

131
00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:42,340
And the helmet's ready for action.

132
00:08:43,220 --> 00:08:45,180
Jamie and Adam are coming over here to
do a blueprint.

133
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:52,040
I'm going to see if I can use the helmet
to influence Jamie to remove his beret.

134
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,700
The bereted one is unaware that he's the
subject of a psychic experiment.

135
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,700
Then he spots the hat.

136
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,280
Hi, Jamie.

137
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:03,560
What you doing?

138
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:04,800
Nothing.

139
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,200
Should I have a good weekend?

140
00:09:06,830 --> 00:09:11,310
Tori attempts casual conversation while
trying to tune in the psionic helmet.

141
00:09:12,030 --> 00:09:15,010
Jamie's baffled, but Tori's feeling the
force.

142
00:09:15,670 --> 00:09:19,390
That was perfect, because as we have a
conversation, I was able to dial into

143
00:09:19,390 --> 00:09:21,170
identity. He has no clue.

144
00:09:22,490 --> 00:09:26,090
Now I'm ready to make him take his beret
off.

145
00:09:27,070 --> 00:09:33,070
For 90 minutes, Tori summons up all his
powers of concentration, but Jamie's

146
00:09:33,070 --> 00:09:35,090
beret stays firmly on his bumps.

147
00:09:35,610 --> 00:09:40,450
My opinion right now is that the iconic
helmet is totally busted.

148
00:09:40,850 --> 00:09:42,970
But I'm not going to give up yet.

149
00:09:43,270 --> 00:09:44,370
I'm going to keep trying.

150
00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:50,910
Jamie and Adam are taking on Mr.

151
00:09:51,110 --> 00:09:57,750
Bean and tackling the explosive TV myth,
can you really decorate with dynamite?

152
00:10:00,430 --> 00:10:03,210
And for that, they pack up and head out
of town.

153
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:10,020
I'm sitting in a crater at the Alameda
County Sheriff's Department bomb range,

154
00:10:10,060 --> 00:10:13,220
or as I like to refer to it, happiest
little place on earth.

155
00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:20,300
Joining Adam and Janie for the TNT party
are fellow

156
00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:25,560
explosive enthusiasts, Sergeant J .D.
Nelson of Alameda County Bomb Squad and

157
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:29,840
retired FBI agent Frank Doyle. The main
thing I'm concerned with about...

158
00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:34,520
This test is whether or not our room,
which is built to code, building code,

159
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,460
whether it's going to hold up to stick a
dynamite in the middle. Or is it just

160
00:10:38,460 --> 00:10:39,940
going to, like, you know, blow out?

161
00:10:40,220 --> 00:10:45,700
With the quantity of explosives we're
going to use, I would say that the room

162
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:48,520
will probably hold together. But don't
hold me to that. Okay.

163
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:54,040
Before they put FBI Frank's prediction
to the test, they have to assemble their

164
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,580
very own little house on the bomb range.

165
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,520
I'm putting the foundation down.

166
00:10:58,970 --> 00:11:00,290
Cue the build sequence.

167
00:11:01,090 --> 00:11:04,790
And with a little help from the post
-production department, they finish in

168
00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:07,590
record time. Remember, kids, I've got
health insurance.

169
00:11:07,830 --> 00:11:11,650
After Adam comes back to Earth, he and
Jamie check out their handiwork.

170
00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:16,450
The location could be a problem. After
all, who wants a room with a view of the

171
00:11:16,450 --> 00:11:17,189
bomb range?

172
00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:21,670
But with a little interior decorating,
it'll be home sweet home. We built a

173
00:11:21,670 --> 00:11:23,150
house in a half a day.

174
00:11:23,550 --> 00:11:28,130
It ain't pretty, but I think maybe it'll
dress up with a nice coat of paint.

175
00:11:28,910 --> 00:11:33,150
To match the myth, the explosion has to
completely cover the room in paint,

176
00:11:33,230 --> 00:11:34,990
except for the human silhouette.

177
00:11:35,310 --> 00:11:39,070
Jamie couldn't find a real volunteer to
stick around while the dynamite

178
00:11:39,070 --> 00:11:43,810
detonates, so he volunteers Rescue Randy
the Simulade. I'm going to hang the

179
00:11:43,810 --> 00:11:47,670
Simulade. I'm going to put him about
here because we want to get one of these

180
00:11:47,670 --> 00:11:52,050
sort of patterns on the wall from the
spray of paint, hopefully.

181
00:11:52,350 --> 00:11:56,190
Adam takes care of the paint placement,
but with a slight deviation from the

182
00:11:56,190 --> 00:12:00,220
clip. I took the paint out of its metal
can and put it in a plastic bucket

183
00:12:00,220 --> 00:12:04,500
because, well, the sheriff's department,
the owners of the bomb range, the FBI

184
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:08,140
are all a lot more comfortable if we
don't have metal creating shrapnel and

185
00:12:08,140 --> 00:12:09,840
just use a plastic bucket full of paint.

186
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,220
Makes a lot more sense than that.

187
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,380
Which leaves just one key ingredient,
the dynamite.

188
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,720
And arson investigator Joe Konefal
arrives just in time. But he's not here

189
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:26,160
arrest Adam and Jamie for their history
of explosive exploits. He's the man with

190
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,460
the bang. What we have is a plastic
container that contains one -third pound

191
00:12:30,460 --> 00:12:35,940
of... And that's about as much as we can
tell you. Of course, even if you should

192
00:12:35,940 --> 00:12:40,060
happen to have the ingredients and
blasting cap for a binary explosive,

193
00:12:40,060 --> 00:12:41,320
don't try this at home.

194
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:44,060
So in the clip we're working from, it
looks like he...

195
00:12:44,330 --> 00:12:47,130
Putting a stick of dynamite or something
equivalent to a stick of dynamite in

196
00:12:47,130 --> 00:12:49,510
this bucket of paint. Is this roughly
equivalent to that?

197
00:12:50,210 --> 00:12:53,790
Actually, it's depending on what type of
dynamites. There's a whole bunch of

198
00:12:53,790 --> 00:12:59,350
dynamites, but this is pretty hot stuff.
This actually detonates right around 21

199
00:12:59,350 --> 00:13:00,610
,000 feet per second.

200
00:13:00,890 --> 00:13:02,170
21 ,000 feet.

201
00:13:02,750 --> 00:13:06,690
So this is definitely... That's like
more than 10 times as fast as a bullet.

202
00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:09,030
Yes, it would be. Wow.

203
00:13:10,510 --> 00:13:11,650
There's no turning back.

204
00:13:13,430 --> 00:13:17,690
Joe finishes mixing the myth -equivalent
stick of dynamite, and with the

205
00:13:17,690 --> 00:13:22,370
explosive cocktail ready for detonation,
the final preparations are carried out.

206
00:13:23,210 --> 00:13:25,210
The bucket of paint is in position.

207
00:13:25,890 --> 00:13:28,030
J .D. lays out the firing line.

208
00:13:29,370 --> 00:13:32,030
Non -essential personnel are cleared
from the area.

209
00:13:32,710 --> 00:13:37,310
The blasting cap is attached to the
explosive, which, just like the myth, is

210
00:13:37,310 --> 00:13:38,370
simply placed in the paint.

211
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,640
And finally, the firing line is attached
to the blasting cap.

212
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,800
With the system hot, the anticipation
builds.

213
00:13:47,740 --> 00:13:50,280
I'm so excited, I just can't stand it.

214
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,700
This is just another one of those days
where you go through the motions and you

215
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:56,720
put everything together. You know, you
build a house in the morning, then you

216
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,660
decide to figure out how to paint with
explosives in the afternoon. Just

217
00:14:00,660 --> 00:14:02,060
day for us on Mythbusters, man.

218
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,780
There's just one question.

219
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,260
Who's the button man?

220
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,640
Heads.

221
00:14:07,420 --> 00:14:08,420
Heads it is.

222
00:14:08,810 --> 00:14:09,810
Give me my quarterback.

223
00:14:11,030 --> 00:14:16,450
With Adam's finger twitching, J .D.
clears the area and... Fire in the hole!

224
00:14:17,670 --> 00:14:18,850
Fire in the hole!

225
00:14:19,330 --> 00:14:22,090
Everyone gets serious. What does this
do?

226
00:14:23,070 --> 00:14:24,830
Well, almost everyone.

227
00:14:28,310 --> 00:14:29,450
It's go time.

228
00:14:29,890 --> 00:14:31,350
Painting with explosives.

229
00:14:31,810 --> 00:14:35,990
In five, four, three, two, one.

230
00:14:40,330 --> 00:14:44,150
Tori has been trying to get his head
around taking Jamie's hat off.

231
00:14:44,350 --> 00:14:47,790
But the beret remains firmly in place.

232
00:14:48,090 --> 00:14:52,450
Meanwhile, Grant has been busy
assembling the two other mind -altering

233
00:14:52,450 --> 00:14:54,010
he found on the Internet.

234
00:14:54,210 --> 00:14:58,750
First, the electronic hypnotizer.
Believe it or not, its flashing light

235
00:14:58,750 --> 00:15:04,210
pulsing tone can supposedly send people
into an hypnotic trance. The tones go

236
00:15:04,210 --> 00:15:09,450
from very fast and very high pitch to
very slow and droney.

237
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,740
Mostly they're just really annoying.

238
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:19,360
Next, Grant tackles every conspiracy
theorist's favorite, subliminal sound.

239
00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:25,580
This device works on audio, takes your
voice commands and embeds them in some

240
00:15:25,580 --> 00:15:28,740
kind of music or other program material,
audio program material.

241
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,060
Subliminal messaging. Exactly. That's
cool.

242
00:15:36,170 --> 00:15:39,310
This whole subliminal advertising idea
started in 1957.

243
00:15:39,710 --> 00:15:44,090
There was a man named James Vickery. He
was an advertising promoter. Now, he

244
00:15:44,090 --> 00:15:49,570
claims that popcorn sales went up by 58
% and soda sales went up by 18 % when

245
00:15:49,570 --> 00:15:53,470
subliminal messaging was inserted into
movies in a New Jersey theater.

246
00:15:53,930 --> 00:15:59,030
Well, that's a good story. But no one
has been able to substantiate those

247
00:15:59,030 --> 00:16:01,630
or reproduce those results ever since
then.

248
00:16:03,630 --> 00:16:08,590
From the subliminal back to the
ridiculous, Torrey takes to the road to

249
00:16:08,590 --> 00:16:10,930
the psionic helmet on the American
people.

250
00:16:11,550 --> 00:16:16,630
We are on a serious mission to test the
mind control device, so we're going to

251
00:16:16,630 --> 00:16:17,630
take it out into the public.

252
00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:21,570
We're going to go to one of our favorite
coffee shops. We're going to test it

253
00:16:21,570 --> 00:16:24,550
there, see if it works.

254
00:16:25,390 --> 00:16:29,810
Torrey's psychic master plan is to place
an order without moving his lips.

255
00:16:32,430 --> 00:16:33,430
That's lunch.

256
00:16:36,250 --> 00:16:41,510
General Manager Rachel Lobb plays along,
suspecting this guy in the helmet may

257
00:16:41,510 --> 00:16:42,810
have escaped from an institution.

258
00:16:43,250 --> 00:16:44,169
Double espresso.

259
00:16:44,170 --> 00:16:46,270
Cappuccino. Juice squeeze.

260
00:16:47,190 --> 00:16:52,630
Coffee. She runs through every beverage
on the menu, except the one that Tori is

261
00:16:52,630 --> 00:16:53,630
trying to project.

262
00:16:53,870 --> 00:16:55,310
Half an hour to sit.

263
00:16:57,510 --> 00:17:01,230
All right, give me a mocha. Mocha.
Single.

264
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:03,900
Make it two.

265
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:05,880
All right.

266
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,260
So, you didn't get the method of mocha.

267
00:17:11,380 --> 00:17:12,839
No. We did.

268
00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:14,739
They did.

269
00:17:14,740 --> 00:17:18,180
We got it. No, we're. That guy wants a
mocha.

270
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,480
I think he figured it out.

271
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,040
Are you sure you didn't have it pointed
the right way? Yeah. You must have had

272
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:23,879
it on backwards.

273
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:24,880
Right?

274
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,140
That's what happens. Tori's fooling no
one.

275
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,320
If they want to test mind control
properly, they're going to have to quit

276
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:32,320
clowning around.

277
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,620
Back at the Alameda bomb range, Adam and
Jamie are about to test an explosive

278
00:17:40,620 --> 00:17:45,780
home improvement myth. My money's on
that this is going to cover roughly 30

279
00:17:45,780 --> 00:17:48,480
40 percent of the room with yellow
paint.

280
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,040
It's DIY myth buster style.

281
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,860
Not so much do it yourself, more
detonate it yourself.

282
00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:59,090
It all comes down to that moment when
you hit the switch, and then either it

283
00:17:59,090 --> 00:18:00,090
works or it doesn't.

284
00:18:00,170 --> 00:18:02,570
If it doesn't work, there's always take
two.

285
00:18:02,810 --> 00:18:07,470
If it does work, you'll get the, I can't
believe I do this for a living laugh.

286
00:18:08,530 --> 00:18:10,410
Three, two, one.

287
00:18:13,210 --> 00:18:14,210
There's the explosion.

288
00:18:15,910 --> 00:18:17,470
And there's the laugh.

289
00:18:20,430 --> 00:18:22,370
I don't think I'd want to be in that
room.

290
00:18:24,490 --> 00:18:26,070
I think it got a little larger.

291
00:18:26,310 --> 00:18:30,330
It may have got larger, but what about
the paint job, the state of the room

292
00:18:30,330 --> 00:18:34,470
after the blast, and was there any sign
of a simulated silhouette?

293
00:18:35,390 --> 00:18:35,830
It

294
00:18:35,830 --> 00:18:43,070
was

295
00:18:43,070 --> 00:18:44,170
kind of hard on the room.

296
00:18:46,070 --> 00:18:47,070
That's hilarious.

297
00:18:48,070 --> 00:18:51,030
Well, I think we set everything up just
right, and when we set off the

298
00:18:51,030 --> 00:18:53,630
explosive, the first thing it did was
destroy this room.

299
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,640
The second thing is it only covered
about 40%. I mean, both of those bust

300
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,940
thing wide open. It's not possible with
something equivalent to a stick of

301
00:19:03,940 --> 00:19:04,940
dynamite to paint a room.

302
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,080
There's your table. But what about the
human silhouette?

303
00:19:10,420 --> 00:19:14,480
There's no outline to speak of. And more
importantly... If you were in this

304
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,400
room, I would say you would go from
something like a chuck roast to a filet

305
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,940
mignon. In other words, you'd be very
tenderized.

306
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,020
Myth busted. Yeah. A shocking one.

307
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,640
What we saw on television is not
replicable in reality.

308
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:34,360
Having said that, I think there are ways
that we can replicate the results of

309
00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:37,100
the myth and still keep to the spirit of
it.

310
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:38,920
So Mr.

311
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,020
Bean and his bucket bomb are busted.

312
00:19:41,500 --> 00:19:45,600
But back at the workshop, these painter
and detonators aren't giving up yet.

313
00:19:45,660 --> 00:19:50,380
They think with a little MythBuster
ingenuity, they can dream up a design to

314
00:19:50,380 --> 00:19:54,040
that perfect paint job. I'm thinking
about small -scale experiments to try

315
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,420
ferret out the best technique.

316
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,040
Yeah, I think we definitely need to go
small scale. And personally, I don't

317
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,920
really have an idea of what I want to
do, but working incrementally through

318
00:20:03,940 --> 00:20:08,760
I think, is the answer. Yeah. So it's
time for some creative conflagration. To

319
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,980
learn more about how paint is
distributed by explosion, they'll need

320
00:20:12,980 --> 00:20:14,340
for small -scale benton.

321
00:20:14,780 --> 00:20:16,040
Let's come back when they're ready.

322
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,560
In the myth of mind control, Grant and
Tori have been putting a so -called

323
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,580
psionic helmet through its paces.

324
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,740
In theory, it works by enhancing the
wearer's own psychic ability.

325
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:36,020
But in practice, it's done zip. It's
time to inject a little more science

326
00:20:36,020 --> 00:20:36,819
the proceedings.

327
00:20:36,820 --> 00:20:39,880
I think we're not taking this whole
experiment seriously enough.

328
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:43,440
I definitely think that we need to
introduce a really controlled

329
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,000
get a little more rigorous with our
regime.

330
00:20:45,470 --> 00:20:48,410
I think what we need to do is build some
kind of a chamber that isolates the

331
00:20:48,410 --> 00:20:52,790
subject, gets rid of all the distracting
variables, so that way we can kind of

332
00:20:52,790 --> 00:20:57,090
see if there is any influence that these
mind control devices are having. Also,

333
00:20:57,250 --> 00:21:00,410
I mean, they all claim to affect the
brain waves in some way.

334
00:21:00,730 --> 00:21:04,950
So I would really like to get an EEG in
here and hook it up because that is how

335
00:21:04,950 --> 00:21:06,370
they measure brain waves in medicine.

336
00:21:07,220 --> 00:21:11,300
EEG machines monitor the working of the
human brain in real time.

337
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:16,320
A network of electrodes detects minute
changes in electromagnetic energy

338
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,920
released when neurons in the brain fire.

339
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,360
So using one to measure mind control is
a bit of a brainwave.

340
00:21:23,580 --> 00:21:27,640
This is perfect because if we could see
that these mind control devices affect

341
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,420
any bit of the brainwave, that there
might be some validity to this mind

342
00:21:32,420 --> 00:21:33,420
stuff.

343
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,540
So they get to work building an
isolation chamber in which they'll test

344
00:21:37,540 --> 00:21:42,940
various devices on an unsuspecting
subject who'll be wired up to an EEG

345
00:21:43,860 --> 00:21:48,580
As well as creating a test arena,
they're also on the hunt for more mind

346
00:21:48,580 --> 00:21:51,980
products. They will test out Carrie's
hypnotizer.

347
00:21:52,180 --> 00:21:55,980
Grant has been trawling through a pile
of plans from the patent office.

348
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,380
Well, we started with a patent search
because these 94 patents...

349
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,700
constitutes evidence that conspiracy
theorists use to say that the government

350
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:08,640
in fact conducting mind control
experiments.

351
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,980
If mind -molding machines truly exist,
this is where to find them.

352
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:18,980
Grant spends hours categorizing the
patents and evaluating their potential.

353
00:22:21,780 --> 00:22:26,140
All right, Grant, so you had all day and
all night. Did you narrow it down?

354
00:22:26,460 --> 00:22:27,780
Yeah, I've chosen two.

355
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,360
One has to do with pulsed air.

356
00:22:30,990 --> 00:22:35,530
and the other has to do with a rotating
bar magnet. And both of them excite the

357
00:22:35,530 --> 00:22:37,270
half -hertz sensory resonance.

358
00:22:39,450 --> 00:22:44,590
Machines that pulse a weak
electromagnetic field once every two

359
00:22:44,590 --> 00:22:50,170
supposedly excite the brain's half
-hertz sensory resonance, leading to

360
00:22:50,170 --> 00:22:54,010
of tension, sleepiness, or even sexual
excitation.

361
00:22:56,360 --> 00:22:59,820
So out of all 94, these are two that you
think are the best for us to try? Yes.

362
00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:05,640
These were the two easiest things to
build, and they sounded like they had

363
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:06,660
highest chance of success.

364
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,760
Grant swings into action on the rotating
magnet device.

365
00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:17,100
Apparently, this spinning magnet is
ideal to stimulate that half -hertz

366
00:23:17,100 --> 00:23:20,560
resonance, as long as you get the speed
spot on.

367
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,540
In fact, it's got to go really slow.

368
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,740
Which means one revolution every two
seconds.

369
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:30,760
That's about right.

370
00:23:32,780 --> 00:23:37,100
Meanwhile, Tari is struggling with the
concept of the pulsed air machine.

371
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,100
I'm building a subliminal acoustic
simulator now.

372
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:42,860
Generator. Manipulator.

373
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,400
Nervous system.

374
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,740
I'm manipulating the nervous system, and
what I'm trying to do is manipulate

375
00:23:49,740 --> 00:23:54,120
that frequency by changing the
atmospheric pressure.

376
00:23:54,660 --> 00:24:00,000
Torrey might not be able to say
subliminal atmospheric acoustic pulses,

377
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,700
can rig up a fan to make them.

378
00:24:02,180 --> 00:24:07,040
All right, so I've installed my wind
interrupter, and I'm about to attach the

379
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,360
fan. And if you want to take a look
here, I'll show you how it works. Each

380
00:24:10,360 --> 00:24:13,240
this disc rotates, it'll break the
airstream.

381
00:24:13,820 --> 00:24:19,220
The fan blows air exactly once every two
seconds. The magic half -hertz cycle

382
00:24:19,220 --> 00:24:21,740
that causes sensory resonance in the
subject.

383
00:24:21,940 --> 00:24:24,080
But unfortunately, the rig sucks.

384
00:24:24,620 --> 00:24:26,640
Literally. Oh, man.

385
00:24:30,100 --> 00:24:32,220
Sucking out instead of blowing in.

386
00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:38,420
Tori Flick. The fan, that is.

387
00:24:39,790 --> 00:24:43,030
Everything's in place for the great mind
control marathon.

388
00:24:47,010 --> 00:24:52,290
Adam and Jamie know all about the Big
Bang Theory.

389
00:24:53,070 --> 00:24:56,770
For gratuitous use of TNT, look no
further.

390
00:24:58,230 --> 00:24:59,710
Well, there's your problem.

391
00:25:00,930 --> 00:25:03,930
But today, it's all about subtlety.

392
00:25:04,300 --> 00:25:09,140
With a small -scale mock -up, they're
using their explosive mouse to paint a

393
00:25:09,140 --> 00:25:10,140
-room house.

394
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,700
This blast chamber will contain the
explosions, and the white walls will

395
00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:16,040
illustrate the paint coverage.

396
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:17,860
That's beautiful.

397
00:25:18,700 --> 00:25:23,540
Adam, inspired by yesterday's state -of
-the -art binary explosive and firing

398
00:25:23,540 --> 00:25:26,000
system, designs his own ignition switch.

399
00:25:27,690 --> 00:25:32,810
With standard 5 -gram packets of black
powder and a set volume of paint, the

400
00:25:32,810 --> 00:25:35,230
determining factor will be the delivery
device.

401
00:25:35,930 --> 00:25:39,470
Their first test is a control using a
replica of Mr.

402
00:25:39,710 --> 00:25:40,710
Bean's bucket bomb.

403
00:25:40,990 --> 00:25:45,730
A repeat of yesterday's results, and
they know their scale setup is accurate.

404
00:25:45,730 --> 00:25:50,130
three, two, there's just as likely
nothing's going to happen, but here we

405
00:25:50,510 --> 00:25:51,510
One.

406
00:25:52,910 --> 00:25:53,910
Yay!

407
00:25:54,750 --> 00:25:56,310
That was fabulous.

408
00:25:59,690 --> 00:26:00,690
Well... All right.

409
00:26:00,970 --> 00:26:01,970
Oh.

410
00:26:02,670 --> 00:26:05,770
I didn't get to see this. That's great.

411
00:26:06,830 --> 00:26:11,490
Yep. With 40 % of the rooms splattered
unevenly, they've made the same mess as

412
00:26:11,490 --> 00:26:14,930
yesterday. Here's what I'd like to do. I
think you've got a couple of ideas and

413
00:26:14,930 --> 00:26:18,150
I've got a couple of ideas. I'd like to
make, using the five grams of powder,

414
00:26:18,490 --> 00:26:20,110
I'm going to try something.

415
00:26:20,610 --> 00:26:23,830
Okay. And why don't you try something
and we'll run a couple more tests.

416
00:26:24,230 --> 00:26:26,310
You can easily fit it in before the end
of the day and...

417
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,300
See if we can't get better coverage.
Okay.

418
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:34,560
So Adam and Jamie are two devotees of
detonation face -off for a blast -off.

419
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:40,100
Adam's approach utilizes tubes of paint
with a straw packed with black powder

420
00:26:40,100 --> 00:26:41,520
suspended in the middle.

421
00:26:41,740 --> 00:26:44,220
In three, two, one.

422
00:26:47,220 --> 00:26:48,920
That was a little more energetic.

423
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:50,280
That was.

424
00:26:50,540 --> 00:26:52,900
Well, I definitely got the middle of the
room.

425
00:26:53,900 --> 00:26:55,060
Yeah, take a look at that.

426
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,900
It's almost like... Just looking at this
band where my charge was, that in order

427
00:26:59,900 --> 00:27:03,560
to use this method to paint the whole
room, you'd need a column of paint and

428
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,620
explosives the height of the exact room.

429
00:27:06,020 --> 00:27:10,600
Jamie's idea is based on the mortar. A
metal vessel will hold and direct the

430
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,660
paint. An explosive charge beneath the
paint will provide the spray.

431
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,460
Here we go. In three, two, one.

432
00:27:22,740 --> 00:27:24,440
Well, that worked just like you said it
would.

433
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:30,380
Well, not perfectly even, but that's the
most even spray that we got.

434
00:27:30,620 --> 00:27:37,200
So it's clear that making something very
directional, like a cannon, is somewhat

435
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,520
effective. It's time to scale up. Adam
had some good information for his tube

436
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:47,520
paint idea. And Jamie's beret brain is
bubbling away with grand designs

437
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,780
involving clusters of pyramid -shaped
mortars.

438
00:27:55,240 --> 00:28:00,960
Our mind control masterminds have turned
M5 into a psychic observation center.

439
00:28:01,100 --> 00:28:06,100
They've built an isolation chamber and
several mind control devices, which

440
00:28:06,100 --> 00:28:09,380
they're about to test with the help of
an EEG machine.

441
00:28:10,830 --> 00:28:12,590
Behind me here, we have mission control.

442
00:28:13,110 --> 00:28:16,950
We have our audio and visual feed, so we
can see exactly what's going on with

443
00:28:16,950 --> 00:28:18,610
our subject inside the isolation
chamber.

444
00:28:18,850 --> 00:28:22,850
We also have a monitor, which is going
to show us their brain waves, and we can

445
00:28:22,850 --> 00:28:26,650
see if there's any sort of odd activity
when we're doing our tests.

446
00:28:27,310 --> 00:28:31,370
Everything is set, but before they try
the mind control devices, Carrie

447
00:28:31,370 --> 00:28:34,430
volunteers to make sure the EEG machine
works.

448
00:28:34,690 --> 00:28:36,550
But she could be in for a shock.

449
00:28:37,350 --> 00:28:39,590
Hand me a bobby pin. I'll tie this in a
knot.

450
00:28:40,370 --> 00:28:45,590
Stylist Grant Imahara has come up with a
new look, which involves electrodes and

451
00:28:45,590 --> 00:28:46,710
conductive paste.

452
00:28:51,870 --> 00:28:55,570
You're doing great, Carrie. You're
really... Dude, you sound like the

453
00:28:55,990 --> 00:28:59,510
You're doing great. Whenever they're
putting you through something painful.

454
00:28:59,930 --> 00:29:03,350
Okay, so now we're going to do your ear.
It's going to be weird. Ready?

455
00:29:03,930 --> 00:29:05,510
You just chill out here.

456
00:29:07,270 --> 00:29:08,270
And relax.

457
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,000
I'll let you know when it's done.

458
00:29:10,300 --> 00:29:14,820
Okay. As she settles, her neural
activity decreases and stabilizes.

459
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,220
But with the baseline established, Tori
and Grant can't resist playing mind

460
00:29:20,220 --> 00:29:21,220
games with Carrie.

461
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,160
We can see what's going on in her brain.

462
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,140
Yeah, yeah, hang on.

463
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,520
Okay, ready? Go ahead.

464
00:29:31,180 --> 00:29:32,520
Good. It's cool. It works.

465
00:29:32,860 --> 00:29:38,020
Grant's seen enough. And what he's seen,
he likes. We did see a huge spike in

466
00:29:38,020 --> 00:29:42,380
the response when Tori kicked the door.

467
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,180
So that indicates that the system is
working.

468
00:29:46,460 --> 00:29:48,560
I'm glad we know how to use it now.

469
00:29:48,820 --> 00:29:53,940
So it's all go for mind control. They
have a working EEG machine that will

470
00:29:53,940 --> 00:29:56,940
quantify any changes in the subject's
brainwave activity.

471
00:29:57,300 --> 00:29:58,540
An important consideration.

472
00:29:59,230 --> 00:30:03,690
because the five devices may be having
an effect without any visible outward

473
00:30:03,690 --> 00:30:07,690
signs. Now all they need is an
unsuspecting lab rat.

474
00:30:08,470 --> 00:30:09,470
Here's one.

475
00:30:10,590 --> 00:30:12,890
Terry, the M5 shop general.

476
00:30:13,190 --> 00:30:16,790
I'm Terry. Hey, Terry, what's wrong?
What are you doing? Would you please

477
00:30:16,790 --> 00:30:18,610
be our subject for our experiment?

478
00:30:19,410 --> 00:30:21,470
All you have to do is sit in there and
relax.

479
00:30:21,870 --> 00:30:22,870
You're good at that.

480
00:30:23,650 --> 00:30:26,250
Okay. I'm a little high strung, but I
think I can relax.

481
00:30:26,730 --> 00:30:27,730
Okay.

482
00:30:28,180 --> 00:30:32,480
Terry's led into the chamber with all
the enthusiasm of a condemned man.

483
00:30:32,860 --> 00:30:37,380
Okay? Okay. You ready? I'm ready for the
gel. Here we go, dude. He doesn't have

484
00:30:37,380 --> 00:30:40,160
a clue what's happening, but he's
resigned to his fate.

485
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,840
It's just all of these work around here.

486
00:30:43,180 --> 00:30:48,400
He's wired up to the EEG machine. Let
the mind games begin. Good luck, my

487
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:49,400
friend.

488
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:52,680
How's it look?

489
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,200
Extremely relaxed.

490
00:30:55,500 --> 00:31:00,820
He's got pretty low activity going on.
After five minutes of zero stimulation,

491
00:31:01,140 --> 00:31:03,020
the baseline is well established.

492
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,740
So Tari dons the psionic helmet and
attempts to control Terry's mind.

493
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,160
Through the power of thought alone,
Tari's trying to change the pattern of

494
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,800
Terry's brain waves, a result that will
show up clearly on the EEG machine.

495
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:23,280
At first, it's a rerun of the cafe
fiasco. Then there's a sudden spike in

496
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:24,280
activity.

497
00:31:24,590 --> 00:31:26,350
I don't know. Something spiked.

498
00:31:27,250 --> 00:31:28,550
I don't know where it went.

499
00:31:29,070 --> 00:31:30,070
Yeah.

500
00:31:30,590 --> 00:31:35,470
To see if the helmet just worked, the
team must wait until the EEG data comes

501
00:31:35,470 --> 00:31:40,050
back from the lab. But first impressions
are that Terry may have fallen asleep.

502
00:31:40,250 --> 00:31:43,230
If he is asleep, that little glitch
could have just been a dream.

503
00:31:44,690 --> 00:31:46,810
Or your psychic energy.

504
00:31:48,970 --> 00:31:49,970
Possible.

505
00:31:50,380 --> 00:31:55,240
During the final five minutes of zero
stimulation, Terry's brainwaves continue

506
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,360
to do the labada.

507
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:02,660
You know, I wonder if Terry's mind is
too advanced for the technology.

508
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,120
Or he could just be psychotic.

509
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:10,060
At the end of 20 minutes, he leaves the
chamber and claims to have been

510
00:32:10,060 --> 00:32:15,740
dreaming. I had a dream I was going
straight in the left lane, and a big

511
00:32:15,740 --> 00:32:16,740
-truck made a right.

512
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,880
I think we saw that right there. We saw
you right before the accident. Yeah,

513
00:32:24,860 --> 00:32:28,920
there was one point where everything was
off the chart.

514
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:34,120
Grant sends off the data, and when the
results come back, they make slightly

515
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,720
disturbing readings. His brain's
freaking out our system.

516
00:32:36,940 --> 00:32:43,300
Yeah. In particular, the theta waves,
which are related to sleep, were way up

517
00:32:43,300 --> 00:32:47,920
if he were asleep, actually. To begin
with? Even from the beginning of the

518
00:32:48,670 --> 00:32:49,950
He's like a walking zombie.

519
00:32:51,230 --> 00:32:53,050
Torrey breaks the bad news.

520
00:32:53,550 --> 00:32:55,270
You had your shot and you blew it.

521
00:32:55,610 --> 00:32:58,630
So, step forward, John, the Mythbusters
researcher.

522
00:32:58,950 --> 00:33:01,070
It's time to get down to business.

523
00:33:01,710 --> 00:33:06,150
He's the only one in M5 still in the
dark about the mind control experiments.

524
00:33:06,530 --> 00:33:08,250
So he qualifies for the job.

525
00:33:08,940 --> 00:33:10,620
How do you feel about high voltage
shock?

526
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,480
On myself or others?

527
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:18,000
That's the right answer. John might
actually make mind control material.

528
00:33:23,540 --> 00:33:26,020
After carefully replicating Mr.

529
00:33:26,220 --> 00:33:30,420
Bean's painting with dynamite myth, Adam
and Jamie have blown it away.

530
00:33:33,180 --> 00:33:35,400
Right off the bat, Jamie, I think this
one's busted.

531
00:33:35,980 --> 00:33:41,040
But this explosive tale is not over yet.
The guys believe they have the designs

532
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,160
to make it work.

533
00:33:42,660 --> 00:33:47,500
Jamie is working on a cluster of five
pyramid -shaped paint mortars, one for

534
00:33:47,500 --> 00:33:48,820
each wall and the ceiling.

535
00:33:49,140 --> 00:33:52,440
It's going to be basically a cluster of
pyramids.

536
00:33:53,020 --> 00:33:56,580
with an explosive at the point of each
pyramid.

537
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,720
But crunching the numbers on this
complicated piece of 3D geometry is

538
00:34:01,940 --> 00:34:04,980
even for a beret -wearing engineering
genius.

539
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,600
Meanwhile, Adam has built a pool raft
for a short, thin person.

540
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,900
I've got to tell you, right off the bat,
I'm really liking that.

541
00:34:12,460 --> 00:34:17,280
See, what I'm thinking of is I use a
thin strand of deck cord, which is

542
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,880
detonation cord or primacord. It's
basically like an explosive rope.

543
00:34:21,850 --> 00:34:27,310
It's an extremely high -speed
detonation, which should vaporize the

544
00:34:27,310 --> 00:34:28,610
more efficiently than black powder.

545
00:34:28,909 --> 00:34:34,790
So what I do is I wrap several, like a
gallon's worth of tubes of paint around

546
00:34:34,790 --> 00:34:40,270
central core of dead cord, and the world
is my oyster to paint.

547
00:34:40,550 --> 00:34:45,070
Back with Jamie and his careful design
work has paid off. Each set of four

548
00:34:45,070 --> 00:34:48,710
triangles goes to make what is known in
the industry as a pot.

549
00:34:49,530 --> 00:34:51,230
in the pyrotechnics industry.

550
00:34:51,550 --> 00:34:57,630
And the pot will have a charge at the
bottom of it and a blob or a bag of

551
00:34:57,630 --> 00:35:04,390
in front of it. And these things are
fairly precisely calculated to aim that

552
00:35:04,390 --> 00:35:07,990
paint when the explosive goes off out
onto a wall.

553
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,400
That will weld together quite nicely.

554
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:20,340
I've worked on these kinds of things a
number of times, usually on commercials.

555
00:35:20,740 --> 00:35:26,500
And what these do typically are they
directionalize the blast to make

556
00:35:26,500 --> 00:35:27,560
specific happen.

557
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:32,180
Like if you want to blow a hood off a
car, you would put one of these under

558
00:35:32,180 --> 00:35:34,300
hood, and it would direct the blast
upward.

559
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:40,300
After hours lathing over a hot welder,
Jamie has the finished product.

560
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,680
A carefully crafted five -way tape
mortar.

561
00:35:45,660 --> 00:35:48,160
Well, should be fun.

562
00:35:49,700 --> 00:35:51,840
Well, I guess it's time to get back out
there.

563
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,480
Both of our devices are ready. All we've
got to do is do a little bit of

564
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:56,480
rebuilding on that house.

565
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,260
Yeah, I've got my device, which is going
to paint each individual wall a

566
00:36:01,260 --> 00:36:02,260
separate color.

567
00:36:02,300 --> 00:36:05,680
Because of that, I'm worried that you're
actually going to blow out some of the

568
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,180
walls with this, so I'm going to...

569
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,320
Go mine first. The paint tubes, I think,
should be the first test.

570
00:36:10,860 --> 00:36:13,660
Well, we've got a lot of work to do.
Let's get at it. All right, cool.

571
00:36:14,460 --> 00:36:18,540
So it's back to Alameda County Bomb
Disposal Range to meet Frank.

572
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,560
I'm glad they left the building roughly
standing.

573
00:36:22,060 --> 00:36:25,480
Where the house that Adam and Jamie
built needs to be rebuilt.

574
00:36:25,700 --> 00:36:28,700
This is, without a doubt, returning to
the scene of the crime. I've got to

575
00:36:28,700 --> 00:36:34,260
somehow make this building salvageable
and reusable within the next 90 minutes.

576
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,880
The worst of the damage was to the
drywall, so that has to come down.

577
00:36:39,180 --> 00:36:41,300
Whatever you do, don't do this at home.

578
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:44,420
Don't do what at home?

579
00:36:44,660 --> 00:36:49,400
Bang your head against the wall? Or
tackle a demolition job on stilts? These

580
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,820
drywall stilts. These are specifically
made for people to hang drywall and do

581
00:36:52,820 --> 00:36:56,000
exactly what we're doing. And it means
that I don't have to keep moving a

582
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,340
as I go around working up at a height.
And they're really cool.

583
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,100
I'm not used to the terrain.

584
00:37:06,460 --> 00:37:11,140
He may look like a newborn giraffe, but
with screw gun in hand, Adam is on

585
00:37:11,140 --> 00:37:12,140
sounder footing.

586
00:37:13,060 --> 00:37:14,800
Could I have another string of nails?

587
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,180
And I need another sheet of drywall.

588
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:23,180
Managing just fine without stilts, Jamie
has fixed up the roof. And using the

589
00:37:23,180 --> 00:37:24,980
forklift, he slides it into place.

590
00:37:27,620 --> 00:37:31,440
Oh, that is good stuff.

591
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,620
The room is ready.

592
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,200
Rescue Randy is ready, and Adam steps up
to the plate.

593
00:37:38,620 --> 00:37:43,080
This is my super simple solution for
attempting to meet all the criteria that

594
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:47,620
see in the Mr. Bean episode, i .e., a
perfectly evenly coated room, a perfect

595
00:37:47,620 --> 00:37:52,100
outline of a person who was in that
room, and a room that's still standing.

596
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:57,720
This is tubes of, I think this is 4 or 6
mil polyethylene.

597
00:37:58,460 --> 00:38:03,560
Heat sealed into long tubes filled with
paint. It's a half gallon up here and a

598
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:04,560
half gallon down here.

599
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,580
They're thinned down with water. And
running up the center of them, this

600
00:38:08,580 --> 00:38:13,300
stuff, I think it's a 50 -grain
detonation cord.

601
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,580
Adam's bag of paint is in position.

602
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,340
And after the bomb techs prepare the
detonation cord for the blasting cap,

603
00:38:20,340 --> 00:38:21,340
ready to blow.

604
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,320
As the team hunker down in the bunker,
there's time for an expert prediction

605
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:32,320
from Jamie.

606
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,640
What the hell do I know what kind of
coverage this is going to do? There's

607
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,860
to be some paint that will get on the
wall, and it's not going to be that

608
00:38:40,140 --> 00:38:45,900
Painting with explosives in 5, 4, 3, 2,
1.

609
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:47,480
Help.

610
00:38:50,620 --> 00:38:55,640
Back in the realm of mental
manipulation, and John the researcher is

611
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:56,640
lab rat.

612
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:01,640
The build team are attempting to bend
his brainwaves from outside the

613
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:07,120
chamber. They have four mind control
devices to try, but first they establish

614
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:08,460
his EEG baseline.

615
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:14,400
Five minutes without stimuli, and John's
baseline is looking steady. Time to

616
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,220
fire up the first mind -molding machine.

617
00:39:17,540 --> 00:39:18,540
The interrupter.

618
00:39:19,580 --> 00:39:23,640
They run the pulsed air experiment for
10 minutes, keeping one eye on John's

619
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:28,440
behavior and the other on his brainwave
patterns. These atmospheric pulses are

620
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:33,200
supposed to excite John's half -hertz
sensory resonance. The effects can range

621
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:38,780
from sleepiness to sexual excitation. To
Grant and Tori's untrained eye, John

622
00:39:38,780 --> 00:39:41,480
appears unaffected. He hasn't fallen
asleep.

623
00:39:42,090 --> 00:39:46,170
and doesn't look excited. But for
confirmation his brain waves haven't

624
00:39:46,170 --> 00:39:50,350
affected, we'll have to wait for the EEG
results to come back from the experts.

625
00:39:50,790 --> 00:39:52,770
I feel good. Good.

626
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:54,860
Do you have the bees ready?

627
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:59,480
It's time for the rotating magnet. Just
like the pulsed air machine, it's

628
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,100
supposed to excite the half -hertz
sensory resonance.

629
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:07,060
So Tori and Grant are once again looking
for changes in either John's brainwave

630
00:40:07,060 --> 00:40:13,280
activity or his behavior. But once
again, John looks unmoved. Two tests

631
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,240
and the only sign of a result are Tori's
delusions of power.

632
00:40:18,100 --> 00:40:19,380
Don't change the channel.

633
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:26,980
Back at the psychic circus, Grant and
Tori have subjected John to the rotating

634
00:40:26,980 --> 00:40:32,600
magnet and pulsed air. Next up is the
subliminal sound device. This device

635
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:37,460
apparently works by sending out a
secretly encrypted audio message that

636
00:40:37,460 --> 00:40:39,540
be heard by the unconscious mind.

637
00:40:39,820 --> 00:40:40,940
Give Tori your money.

638
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,180
Give Tori your money.

639
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:49,600
Realizing this suggestion won't lead to
an immediate visible result, Tori

640
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:50,600
changes tack.

641
00:40:50,660 --> 00:40:51,660
Go.

642
00:40:51,910 --> 00:40:52,910
Touch nose.

643
00:40:53,110 --> 00:40:54,270
Touch nose.

644
00:40:54,530 --> 00:40:55,530
Touch nose.

645
00:40:55,770 --> 00:41:00,210
Eight minutes in, and it's Tori, not
John, who starts to crack.

646
00:41:00,510 --> 00:41:01,850
Touch your nose, you little punk.

647
00:41:02,130 --> 00:41:03,910
I swear to God, you better touch your
nose.

648
00:41:04,190 --> 00:41:05,190
Touch nose.

649
00:41:05,350 --> 00:41:06,350
Touch nose.

650
00:41:06,630 --> 00:41:07,630
Touch nose.

651
00:41:08,030 --> 00:41:12,550
Don't make me come in there. Touch your
nose. John's nose remains untouched, and

652
00:41:12,550 --> 00:41:14,010
it's time for the final test.

653
00:41:14,540 --> 00:41:19,500
Next is Carrie's electronic hypnosis.
This flashing light and tone apparently

654
00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:24,880
combine to induce an hypnotic state,
which we'll be able to see on the EEG.

655
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,500
thing we're going to do is make the
pitch a little bit lower now, because

656
00:41:28,500 --> 00:41:29,900
now it's kind of annoying and fast.

657
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,420
There's a jump in his brainwave.

658
00:41:34,900 --> 00:41:37,800
This time, John's brainwaves are clearly
affected.

659
00:41:38,540 --> 00:41:43,400
And distracted by the pulsing tone
themselves, Tori and Grant miss what

660
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,280
the most significant result of the
experiment so far.

661
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:52,580
John touches his nose. Was it a delayed
reaction to the subliminal sound? Or

662
00:41:52,580 --> 00:41:56,860
just an itch? The jury assembles, and
it's time for the result.

663
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:58,620
I gotta tell you.

664
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:03,260
I really thought this was going to be a
pyramid power waste of your time, but it

665
00:42:03,260 --> 00:42:06,880
sounds like you might have gotten some
real results on this mind control thing.

666
00:42:07,020 --> 00:42:08,980
First one up is psionic helmet.

667
00:42:09,420 --> 00:42:11,500
Psionic helmet totally works.

668
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,140
No. No, I'm just kidding.

669
00:42:15,100 --> 00:42:17,680
No, until you can prove ESP.

670
00:42:18,300 --> 00:42:20,700
You're not going to be able to test this
one, so we're calling this one busted.

671
00:42:20,820 --> 00:42:26,120
Not surprisingly, a crystal mounted on a
bicycle helmet does not give the wearer

672
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:31,080
a third eye. Okay, pulsed air. The
pulsed air, it didn't show any effects

673
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,200
brainwaves, and there's no real
scientific evidence that proves that it

674
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:39,140
So, so far, it's a waste of time. The
results from the EEG experts showed the

675
00:42:39,140 --> 00:42:43,620
rotating magnet may have had an effect
on John's brainwaves. Rotating magnet.

676
00:42:43,980 --> 00:42:49,060
Now, the rotating magnet actually did
have an effect on... John's brain waves

677
00:42:49,060 --> 00:42:50,060
while it was spinning.

678
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,340
However, there's a slight possibility
that it was affecting the EEG itself.

679
00:42:54,860 --> 00:43:00,700
There is scientific evidence to say that
direct electrical stimuli can influence

680
00:43:00,700 --> 00:43:02,800
behavior. So we're going to call this
one plausible.

681
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:07,460
So with the score at two busted and one
plausible, what were the results for

682
00:43:07,460 --> 00:43:08,460
silent sound?

683
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:13,240
Although John did eventually touch his
nose, it was during the final test with

684
00:43:13,240 --> 00:43:17,980
the hypnotizer. Plus, the expert
analysis of the EEG readings came back

685
00:43:17,980 --> 00:43:23,920
negative, proving silent sound is
busted, and it really was just an itch.

686
00:43:23,980 --> 00:43:29,520
hypnosis. Well, we did see a change in
John's brain wave. There's evidence to

687
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:34,660
suggest that remote hypnosis does work,
so this one is also plausible.

688
00:43:35,210 --> 00:43:38,670
But it's a really limited effect. And
like all of these mind control devices,

689
00:43:39,130 --> 00:43:43,070
they're not sophisticated enough to,
say, make you buy more popcorn or drink

690
00:43:43,070 --> 00:43:43,868
more soda.

691
00:43:43,870 --> 00:43:44,870
Or kill the president.

692
00:43:45,030 --> 00:43:50,530
Yeah. So that's it. We can all sleep
safely in our beds. The final score is

693
00:43:50,530 --> 00:43:56,150
three busted, two plausible. And one
more mind -boggling myth laid to rest.

694
00:43:59,270 --> 00:44:01,210
Jamie and Adam are having a blast.

695
00:44:02,350 --> 00:44:04,430
Their quest to paint with explosives.

696
00:44:04,990 --> 00:44:07,250
has led to two very different designs.

697
00:44:07,950 --> 00:44:13,870
Adam is first, and he's painting by
numbers. The numbers are... Five, four,

698
00:44:14,130 --> 00:44:16,710
three, two, one.

699
00:44:19,270 --> 00:44:20,770
I see a lot of green.

700
00:44:21,990 --> 00:44:23,510
And the building's still standing.

701
00:44:24,030 --> 00:44:26,210
Well, that's good. That is a very good
thing.

702
00:44:27,790 --> 00:44:29,310
Let's go look. Are we clear to look?

703
00:44:30,010 --> 00:44:31,010
Let's have a look.

704
00:44:31,570 --> 00:44:33,370
Well, there's paint on all the cameras.

705
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,120
But what about the walls?

706
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:36,440
Oh, man.

707
00:44:36,940 --> 00:44:40,320
Yep, the walls have a coat of paint, but
is it any good?

708
00:44:41,260 --> 00:44:45,860
I thought it would be a little better
than that. The detonation cord looks

709
00:44:45,860 --> 00:44:46,859
it was ideal.

710
00:44:46,860 --> 00:44:51,600
It spread the paint in a fine mist
without damaging the walls. But it's not

711
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,960
perfect paint job. Coverage, total crap,
unfortunately.

712
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,600
Yep, that we can see. So how about some
analysis?

713
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,000
You think that...

714
00:45:01,260 --> 00:45:05,480
It makes sense to your brain that you
get some dynamite near paint and that

715
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:06,620
paint's just going to go everywhere.

716
00:45:06,900 --> 00:45:10,020
But in fact, actually, it's quite
obvious from looking at this.

717
00:45:11,240 --> 00:45:15,320
From the explosion, there's a pressure
wave and it travels in a very

718
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:19,280
pattern, 360 degrees from the point of
detonation.

719
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:23,940
And if you don't have paint in its way
all the way around in equal amounts,

720
00:45:24,180 --> 00:45:27,920
you're going to get screwed. I'm hoping
that fans have a real problem with this

721
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,480
and email everybody about it so we get
to revisit it.

722
00:45:31,470 --> 00:45:36,250
Before you send in those emails, Jamie
still has to launch his pyramid paint

723
00:45:36,250 --> 00:45:38,330
bomb. Are you ready to set up yours?

724
00:45:38,690 --> 00:45:39,690
Yeah.

725
00:45:40,830 --> 00:45:42,690
Mythbuster pride is on the line.

726
00:45:42,910 --> 00:45:47,430
Jamie and his pyramid paint bomb is the
team's last chance for success.

727
00:45:48,570 --> 00:45:51,270
Precision is the cornerstone of Jamie's
design.

728
00:45:51,570 --> 00:45:55,290
And as the actress said to the bishop,
Dude, one more inch.

729
00:45:55,590 --> 00:45:56,830
That's dead center.

730
00:45:57,540 --> 00:46:01,800
Next, our explosive experts help give
this paint bomb its bang.

731
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:07,020
Through each of the five pots, they feed
separate pieces of detonation cord. The

732
00:46:07,020 --> 00:46:09,940
blast is concentrated by tying them into
a knot.

733
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:11,880
Now to load the ammunition.

734
00:46:12,300 --> 00:46:14,120
Are you going to try and coat each one a
different color?

735
00:46:14,660 --> 00:46:15,660
That's the plan.

736
00:46:18,460 --> 00:46:19,460
Excellent.

737
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:24,640
With five half -gallon paint bombs ready
to pop, Jamie carefully tapes them into

738
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,180
position. How's it going, neighbor?

739
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,420
I'm going to paint my house. You better
clear out.

740
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,300
You're going to paint your house with
explosives?

741
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:32,360
That's crazy!

742
00:46:32,940 --> 00:46:35,340
All five mortars are ready to fire.

743
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,560
I think we're good to go. Let's get out
of here.

744
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:40,840
And Jamie is as proud as Punch.

745
00:46:41,770 --> 00:46:46,130
One of the most wonderful things about
the work is that oftentimes we're

746
00:46:46,130 --> 00:46:48,790
to do things that nobody else has ever
done before.

747
00:46:49,370 --> 00:46:55,110
And, I mean, the explosives guys are
looking at this and going like, wow,

748
00:46:55,110 --> 00:46:55,908
pretty cool.

749
00:46:55,910 --> 00:47:00,430
Back in the bunker, and Jamie's creation
gets a MythBuster moniker. The flower

750
00:47:00,430 --> 00:47:01,430
of death.

751
00:47:02,030 --> 00:47:04,330
Los flores de los muertos.

752
00:47:04,730 --> 00:47:05,930
That's it. Okay.

753
00:47:06,570 --> 00:47:07,570
Are you ready?

754
00:47:07,770 --> 00:47:09,770
Yeah. Los catadores de mito.

755
00:47:09,990 --> 00:47:11,130
Let's go. Okay.

756
00:47:11,660 --> 00:47:13,060
Stop talking. Plug in.

757
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:18,540
This is it. With the system hot, the
flower of death loaded, Jamie just needs

758
00:47:18,540 --> 00:47:19,359
count back.

759
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,900
Three, two, one.

760
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:29,720
The remote cameras take one for the
team. But the force of the blast means

761
00:47:29,720 --> 00:47:34,520
pictures are inconclusive. And the view
from the bunker is Jamie's pyramids

762
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:35,600
ain't so great.

763
00:47:35,820 --> 00:47:36,920
The window looks pretty red.

764
00:47:37,260 --> 00:47:41,380
Yeah, it doesn't look like it did what I
wanted it to do from here. But let's go

765
00:47:41,380 --> 00:47:42,380
find out.

766
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:46,600
That's horrible.

767
00:47:47,060 --> 00:47:51,100
Dude. That is not at all effective.

768
00:47:51,980 --> 00:47:54,360
No, it's actually a fantastic way to do.

769
00:47:54,810 --> 00:47:56,310
Abstract expressionist painting.

770
00:47:57,410 --> 00:47:59,830
This is a masterpiece in here.

771
00:48:00,190 --> 00:48:06,110
I swear to God. Really, this is Jackson
Pollock through and through and through.

772
00:48:06,210 --> 00:48:10,790
Each wall actually is like a different
phase of his career.

773
00:48:11,130 --> 00:48:13,730
Adam is obviously talking complete
Pollock.

774
00:48:14,110 --> 00:48:17,890
Let's see if Jamie has some science for
us. The only thing that I can see that's

775
00:48:17,890 --> 00:48:22,690
some sort of indication of what actually
happened is that we've got more or less

776
00:48:22,690 --> 00:48:27,130
a vertical stripe here, a vertical
stripe here, a vertical stripe here. I

777
00:48:27,170 --> 00:48:31,630
it did directionalize the paint. It just
didn't spread it. There was direction,

778
00:48:31,790 --> 00:48:36,270
but each of the five colors hit its
target wall with a splat rather than a

779
00:48:36,270 --> 00:48:40,650
spray. So Adam's patchy undercoat of
green is still clearly visible.

780
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:45,640
Basically, you won't be picking up
Janie's flower of death or Adam's bag of

781
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:51,100
paint at your local hardware store
anytime soon. With another couple of

782
00:48:51,100 --> 00:48:55,960
four or five more full -scale
explosions, we might get pretty close to

783
00:48:55,960 --> 00:49:01,080
that did some kind of reasonable
complete coverage of the walls, but it's

784
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:05,040
going to leave debris and shrapnel and
all sorts of stuff.

785
00:49:06,020 --> 00:49:08,640
This proves to me that there is no way.

786
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:13,120
To viably paint your house with
explosives, much as you would like to

787
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,300
So, our experiment in home improvement
with dynamite, painting with explosives,

788
00:49:19,620 --> 00:49:20,620
what's the verdict?

789
00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:22,160
Mr. Bean version, busted.

790
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,100
Our version was also busted.

791
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,600
Yeah, I think the best that can be said
about what we achieved was that you

792
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:31,480
found a stunning way to make instant
modern art. Yep, but it's still busted.

793
00:49:31,700 --> 00:49:32,700
Yeah, it's busted.
