This was by far the best show on discovery.
wasnt survivor man, dual survivor also on discovery? tastes differ but i think we can all agree this era of media was amazing
Expedition Unknown
Back when discovery featured at least a slight smidgen of discovery in their shows.
@@wingerding this show is when it started going downhill because the mythbusters certainly weren't doing science.
@themonsterunderyourbed9408
Nah, for me at least; Discovery wasn't about science -it was about learning about new/different but interesting and often important things.
Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, How it's made, etc. are not 'science' shows but are educational -you leave having learned something of substance, about the real world.
The damage that shows like MBs did to Discovery; was being 'too popular' -they brought in a lot of new 'outside the demo' viewers (aka money) and the executives greedily wanted to not just keep them but lure in more; personality driven reality shows and fake science shows was their method.
I can see the faulty logic behind toothpaste, as most contain menthol, which feels cool. Unfortunately, menthol binds to a different receptor than capsaicin does; meaning you can feel both the heat and cool at the same time. They do not cancel out sadly.
Food Theory did a series of videos on the same idea.
Testing a variety, and then mixing together the ones that worked best to get an ultimate cure
I believe (its been a bit since i watched it so might be mis-remembering)
They ended up with a cooled Peanut-butter/honey mixture
Cooled to give a sensation count to the eat
And a thick texture so it sticks in your mouth and keeps the relief when not actively eating/drinking it, so it lasts longer
And, ironically, setting off hot/cold receptors in close proximity simulates or worsens pain in some cases (vsauce did this on mind field by laying his arm on a tray of alternating warm/cool hotdogs, causing a burning sensation)
I forget the name of the dish, but I had some Thai food that had mint in it, and it definitely made it hotter.
37:17 Elephant: "I just saw a poop give birth to a mouse!"
"I don't remember eating that...." We've all been there after a bad morning bowl movement
“Slingshot” - I cough for a full 5 minutes there Jamie
If i would see a mouse crawl out of my 💩 I would hesitate too
9:48 Grant's like "haha, I'm in danger!"
I always understood that sugar will relieve your mouth from the heat of spicy food. Surprised it wasn't on the list.
Didn't we have a wild Hyneman in his natural environment on a snow-covered Colorado mountain?
They're migratory
17:10 Grant saying "I hope my head doesn't explode" made me :/
agreed, that sentence aged sadly really really bad :o(
13:25 - ypu are about to buy a present to your wife, but this fish ranaway with your savings AND YOUR SECRETARY.
.
So many level of jokes in this absurdly specific scenario.
28:00 Grant squealing!!! 😂
The elephant one made me 😲
"I hope my head doesn't explode" has not aged well. Rest in peace grant 💔
This is probably my favorite episode.
I really want some spicy fish sticks after watching this episode.
but the fish has get shot
I'm guessing elephants just don't see the need to trample non threatening species....and step aside.
I always thought that the elephants may not be afraid of the mice, they may care for the mice. They may simply not want to step on it and kill it inadvertently.
Of course, they could also be afraid of it because they think that small animal may be venomous, like a snake could be?
my best guess is that mice tend to run towards small holes to scurry away from danger and elephants have trunks...
2:28 And this is one of those moments that says, Jamie is the crazy one compared to Adam.
Well.. that and when Jamie popped up with the minigun…
43:03 you sure
Amazing episode
Love watching them get tipsy for a test 😂
at 6:30, Jamey did not adjust for the refraction of the light.
I’ve tried milk many times to help bring down the level of spice that I would feel and honestly it has NEVER worked. But what does work is ice cream. It is SO SO MUCH BETTER than milk!!
12:45
I don't mean to undermine the intelligence of elephants, but I haven't heard of any evidence of them (or any other animal) 'caring' about the well-being of an animal of a different species to its own. I don't think the elephant is trying to 'not hurt' the mouse.
It seems to me like the elephant is indeed scared, or at the very least cautious, around the mouse.
As to the elephant and the mouse, is the elephant reacting to the colour (white) of the mouse and not the mouse? Would the elephant have reacted the same way to a natural-coloured, grey mouse? Or to a white pingpong ball as a test of colour? I rate this one as inconclusive without those two tests.
I was asking myself that as well, everything was natural coloured and then there pops up a bright white mouse. I’m surprised that they didn’t thought of that yet.
if you have person scared of mice, they don't care what color it is.
@@maleficent3333true but elephants are not like people
@@GOAT_GOATERSON they are animals like people, and think in a way of human child, with greater memory capacity, I think it is fair to say they are generally scared of small rodents in general.
@@maleficent3333 Nail atop of head 😎
ice cream / soft serve - best help since the hot ones
what a dumb myth to test, i love this show so much
we never got to see "stealing candy from a baby" :P
44:59 peak tv right there 😂
46:11 fire stop fire stop is a good technique for destroying this amazing gun
Until I watched this episode (today, not back when it first aired), I hadn't really realized that I had: A) never heard "capsaicin" said aloud and B) been mispronouncing "capsaicin" my entire life.
33:19 LMAO, Jamie 🤣
In the US, live fish were stored short-term in crowded barrels during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Clearly, shooting a fish in such a barrel would have been trivial. So I think the MythBusters were over-complicating this one...
They pretty much always miss the point of the myths they "bust". They also bust them with shoddy methodology and have highly questionable conclusions... But you know SCIENCE™!!!
They always yell it every episode and plebs eventually believe it.
23:46 Kobold spotted! KOBOLD SPOTTED!
47:17 - "well, There is ypur problem!"
That spicy food test was weird, I don't understand why they didn't test anything that actually works. And there are many good remedies. Like yogurt, butter or oil.
yoghurt and butter are the exact same as milk, like they said high fat dairy products. havent heard of oil before but apparently breads good
19:25 kari was at least a million
Ice Cream ist the best cure for spicy, the good ol gelato
Thank You❤
Full cream yoghurt is better than milk. But the best is eating spice from young 😜
I have been mexican for many years and I have never hear about milk as a relief for spicy. The only thing that work for me is reaching the zen master ability to not to care anymore.
banana chips should also work. it is because of the fat that attracts the capsaicin and binds it somehow.
Us paler folk are more build for hard liquor than spice.
@@TheGreatThicc Just depends on how often you eat it.
11:00 The undeniably hot
Veery accurate
when you think about it, there is no way they would have gone all the way to Africa if they didn't know prior that this would happen.
I knew miniguns are actually fast but gyatt dam.
it’s called minigun because it’s a “mini” version of a way larger thing that’s twice as fast
44:40 The fun begins!
I think the elephant reacted to the mouse because it was white. They should have used a darker coloured mouse. Other than that, as always a great episode ❤
Am.i the only one that doesnt see the difference between buying a dead fish killed by someone else or killing it with a gun theirselves.
Yeah, when you think about it, fishing is terribly cruel ... I wouldn't like getting yanked up in to the air by a triple-pronged barbed hook in my mouth.
@@RB-bd5tz well exactly atleast a gun would be pretty instant I really struggle to see the difference.
11:40 ...IdiomBusters?... Or? ...
I mean, I get why they did it as they did. But seriously - wouldn't it have been easier to just use artificial or rubber fish and let those flop around? Why real fish?? IF you were adamant about it needing to be fish, you would also need them to be alive. Still - impressive, the robo-fish.
Fish were keot in batrels at sra, so mot 1 fish but 2000 so, easycto shooot
Kari❤
You are not a geek if you spell it gssk...
You can't shoot a fish in a barrel full of water because of refraction. The light gets refracted, so changes direction, when it passes from the water into the air. So you don't see where the fish really is.
But you can shoot it
🙄🙄
If you have some fish in a barrel and you shoot at the barrel, chances are you will hit a fish as they effectively can not go anywhere, you don't need to be able to see them. This is why the saying means that whatever the person is referring to is very easy.
The saying is from the old days when they stored MANY fish in a single barrel. It doesn't matter how light refracts, the bullet is going to hit a fish because the barrel would have been full of fish.
Mythbusters completely miss the point again.
What about plain Joghurt as a spice cure?
Feed them carolina reaper 😂😉👍🏻
does anyone know why they are wearing coats in africa? Is it cold?
"The climate of Cape Town is Mediterranean, with very mild, rainy winters and warm to hot, sunny summers.
The city is located in the South African Republic, on the southwest coast.
In summer, temperatures are not excessively high because of the influence of the ocean, though sometimes a hot and dry wind called Berg, able to raise the temperature to around 35 °C (95 °F), blows from the mountains. On the contrary, a strong southern breeze called Cape Doctor often blows in summer, cooling and cleaning the air. Above the top of Table Mountain, the flat-topped mountain overlooking the city, about a thousand meters (3,300 feet) high, a layer of clouds often forms, which the city's inhabitants call in a colloquial manner "tablecloth".
Even though the winter is mild, there can be some cold and windy days. On the coldest nights of the year, the temperature can drop to around freezing. At other times, the warm wind from the northern mountains can blow in this season as well, so much so that the temperature can reach 30 °C (86 °F) even in winter"
they misread "côte d'ivoire"
It gets below freezing in lots of areas of Africa
interesting that it would be considered cruel to shoot live fish, but not cruel to capture and suffocate live fish and sell their corpses... people are insane
Literally just commented the same thing I see no difference the fish is going to end up dead either way.
Oh come on. They just don't harm animals on the show gratuitously. We all know how life works.
@@marietighe6328 yeah but no
Its television. People will critisize anything
My second grade teacher once told the class that you shouldn't slap an actor because their television persona broke up with another persona. They follow a script
I miss when people had logical thinking. They should teach it in school
Considering that being shot is likely faster and the pressure waves from bullets entering the water would stun the fish it's somewhat ironic.
But then there are animal cruelty regulations and guidelines, "no animal was harmed in the production of this movie"...
Dont forget that chilli also restricts blood vessels and has caused death by strokes (clots in the brain)
It always bothers me every time they say "There's nothing more American than apple pie" It might be popular in America... but it's not an American creation/invention... And this isn't the first episode where they've said it multiple times...
Kind of sensitive aren't you?
lol. the japanese don't like (fake) wasabi
try a darker mouse
🤗🤭👍🏻
Milk Buster's.
⚠️ DO NOT COMPROMISE THE FISH ⚠️
This did not age well.. we are at 2 million scoville
Can’t use a live fish ? Geez, the Karens will complain. 😏😏
Kari off the hook for chilli’s why ?
Well they needed a control. Also they later got revenge by taking her to a spicy resturant and playing the "first to grab water looses" game.
We can't shoot live fish as that will offend everyone... proceeds to wear a dead fish like a mitten
That only offends vegans so no harm, no foul.
Elephants afraid of the mice actually has a tinge of truth in
it.
If a mouse got inside of the trunk of an elephant, it would cause suffocation.
Old books on the subject said that, apart from scaring war elephants with flaming pigs, people used mice to kill enemy elephants.
Mice are soaked in poison and released onto enemy's war elephant stables.
The mice that was feeling hot by the poison would look for a wet hole to cool themselves, and this could be the water trough or the elephant's trunk.
This would do damage to the enemy's camp, especially when the scared and poisoned elephants wreak havoc before dying.
God damn
thats what i was thinking, both elephants move their trunks out the way as well.
Source? "I read it somewhere"? "Somebody claimed"?
Grant said “I hope my head doesn’t explode…eventually his head did explode..RIP”
Oof!!!
Ok, so to be safe I'll need:
- A mouse in Africa (A weapon for the north though. And the south if you're white)
- Heavy shielding and the biggest meanest automatic gun in North America
- Nothing in Europe. At least in the west. But it's getting more unsafe every year due to illegal migration
- Nothing in Australia, it's unsafe anyways due to all those predators there!
- Be the communist leader in Asia, if not you're f'ed
- Just a vest, maybe a bulletproof car and an automatic gun in South America
So I'll stay in Europe 😅 And hope it stays relatively safe... If not the only safer place is joining the penguins at the pole 😂
I personally don't think the Elephants were scared, cautious for sure, what I think is that they seen the mouse an gave it room because they didn't want to risk hurting it
