You guys seriously need to do a episode where you sit down and play a game of Monopoly!
It was from Bio-Dome and Son-in-law, the only hyphenated Pauly Shore movies ;)
Let me come and compete. Or collab or something. I can explain the science behind this and it isn't new age energy bullcrap.
I can do this with 100% accuracy every single time
Yall can do it with 99 buckets of sand and 1 bucket of water. 20 times. I win if I get it right 100% of the time.
I'm dead serious. And there is actual science behind this you guys are just doing it way way way wrong.
The gentleman never said "energy". He said you could sense where there was a "void" for "some reason" (may not be exactly what he said, but I believe more accurate). I'm not saying he is right. Just that he really didn't give of a new age, "energy" vibe.
Buying art, especially modern art, is usually a scam or money laundering. Buying part of art sounds even more like a scam.
Precisely.
Its like dowsing, but for people who think 'line go up' is a valid statement.
while that does of course happen, please dont dismiss all art. some people just genuinely like art, and some artist just also genuinely like art.
not saying i trust this sponsor or support nft or anything though
@@KusaneHexaku Absolutely! It's great to support art and artists. I have bought several paintings from local artists.
But if you want something from a master, you buy it from a reputable dealer, not some random online brokerage. And you buy the whole artwork to own, you don't buy some interest in something that isn't tangible. That's just moronic.
It’s pretty disappointing to see from this channel honestly. You gotta keep the lights on obviously and I’m fine with the shitty VPN ads but this is awful.
Jason's absolute dedication to the bit to actually eat a mouthful of sand was impressive
I was going to say the same thing. Thats a man of dedication
Why would he do that?
fun fact: The US and Iraqi militaries actually bought bomb detecting machines in the 2000s which were in essence just dowsing rods which did not, in any way work
Bahahahaha. I really hope that is true. Just shows how high up incompetence can run.

only trump supporters would fall for this lie. bombs are made containing metal. we have metal detectors
The way the JREF would have tested this is to fill each bucket with water or sand randomly, and ask the claimant to have the correct matching pattern. With 5 buckets it's about a 3% chance of success, versus the 20% in your setup.
Man James Randi did so much in his time. What a huge loss. Don't feel like anybody has picked up his mantle.
god I miss James Randi
It would actually be 50%, because each bucket is a 50/50 you’re right, and out of 5 buckets, you have a 50% chance of getting it right
@@acegamer7549 with five buckets there are 32 different combinations of water and sand buckets, so the chance of getting the correct order is 1 in 32 which is around 3%
@Logan Lambert the absolute state of the american public education system smh…
Honestly. An occult survival kit sounds cool af as a novelty piece.
Right? I kinda want to make one
True story, that's only like 2/3rds of title cards I made for this episode. Dowsing has been debunked so many times that it's not even recognizable as the dead horse it used to be. It's just a dry stain that every science communicator has been obligated to walk across the last 150 years.

I’m down!
Use physics and the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod. To use physics in dowsing you have to be moving for crossing the sought radiated elemental magnetic flux lines which energize the sought element's one-tenth ounce dowsing rod load that is attached to the dowsing rod. The world is about to be taught the physics in dowsing, how to build your own modern ball bearing dowsing rod by reading the book The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition.
I feel like putting dowsing rods in a survival kit is kinda like putting a d8 or a coin. One of those 'Im out of options and moral, let's just leave it up to change' sort of things
And in this very specific case, it's actually better than nothing.
Hell, even when you don't know where to start looking, you might as well resort to this kind of noise generator. At worst it just breaks analysis paralysis by giving you an absolute random result. At best it taps into your intuitive pattern recognition in a way where you may actually be better than pure randomness at locating water given landscape features, but you need something to have any kind of confidence in your intuition
I’m a geotechnical engineer. When I first started watching this video I was thinking “please tell me they’re going to debunk this bullshit.” At 5:00: “oh, thank God.”

Hi rogues, I love your content and I do know you need sponsorships to make your money, but this weeks sponsor is kinda shady.
You guys normally promote stuff like VPNs, supplements, and fairly normal and useful stuff.
Promoting an iffy investment scheme is worse. There's a big difference between advertising a product worth ~$50 - $200, and an investment scheme asking for thousands of dollars.
Maybe choose slightly better sponsors in the future?
I love your content, but I want to keep this comment as a warning to viewers to avoid janky investing schemes like the one promoted today.
yeah these "partial investment" things trigger a lot of alarms here.
Yeah, gonna double down with you Bob, thanks for saying something.
Rouges, we really get you need to keep the lights on, and trust us when we say we fully understand and are grateful, but this is a bit much.
Not to mention that they doubled down on it, with (I believe it was Brian in the comments) saying it "passed his sniffing test". Dude might as well have used dowsing rods to see if Masterworks is legit or not

Yesssssss ✊
I heard Adam Savage talk about this. He thinks that we naturally know where water is more likely to be in nature and so we move the sticks that way when we see natural indicators. Like lush plant life or moss.
Read the recently published book The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition. This is one that when dowsed correctly, Adam Savage and crew would never be able to debunk the physics of dowsing with the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod and electronic metal detectors are one and the same.
Honestly, I was really expecting them to find that ALL the buckets were filled with sand. Goes against the experiment, but would have been funny!
love when city scientists attempt to "disprove" something country folks have done and will continue to do successfully for hundreds of years.
I’ve always wanted to do Dowsing on this show! Thanks for having me back!
Our pleasure!
Thanks, man! I don't get to flex my skeptic muscle very often these days.
Read the recently published book The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition for learning all the physics that energize both the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod and electronic metal detectors with being the same principle of having to be moving for becoming energized by the sought element's elemental magnetic flux lines. I give FREE dowsing lessons in Laplata Canyon near Durango, Colorado where a gold vein system runs underneath the Laplata County Road. Bring the filming crew and be flabbergasted by the dowsing!
@@michaelfercik3691 Oh, god… I hope you’re just trolling. I REALLY hope you’re trolling! If not, I hope you’re at least honest about the giving “free” dowsing lessons.

You havent digged trenches in your life. Utility employees will always use their rods to get the job done quickly. It would be stupid not to use them.
@@Xolisaz83 except there’s no scientific basis or any studies showing that there might be anything about them that works
Ooooooh in one of my classes, we were studying remote sensing, geophysical devices to detect things in the ground, stuff like ground penetrating radar, metal detectors, electromagnetic devices, etc. In one of the books or papers we had for reading, they did mentioned dowsing, and like thoroughly roasted it, like "Dowsing rods have not been found to be more accurate than random chance in encountering and recording anomalies or archaeological material." XD
The phone company sent guys to bury the internet cable today. I looked out the window after hearing a noise and I watched a guy with one divining rod instantly locate the water line in one try, walk away to get a shovel, dig down and locate the line within seconds, then successfully NOT damage my water line burying the cable. I watched a guy I worked with use it repeatedly to find water lines and even leaks on jobs...one four feet deep. So explain it. If these guys ridiculed me for UFO attacks I experienced I`d hurt them.
@@baneverything5580 it's just nonsense. Every time someone is critical of divining, people come out from the dark corners and say "I saw a guy do it once" or some variation of the story and that is supposed to be proof. It's like the existence of viruses claiming they cause disease. It's fantasy. If divining were real, there would be a scientific test done, a proper gold standard controlled test. But there is not anything like that proving it works. It would be a simple test to conduct as well, one which does not require lab coats, million dollar devices, research grants etc. But no one has ever proven it works against a control in a proper test.
@@THE_CHOAS_ENGINE Perhaps you should at least make an attempt at educating yourself by reading astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell`s book, The Way Of The Explorer, and spend some time examining the evidence and research available. They said Uri Geller the "spoon bender" was a fake and they convinced the public of this. But isn`t it VERY ODD that he has made a massive fortune using DIVINING to locate extremely valuable oil, gas, and mining deposits for huge companies for his entire adult life? And isn`t it odd what Dr Mitchell discovered when testing the man? But you just keep on believing the "woke" version of "modern" MSNBC "science" and all these evil, greedy crooks calling themselves the "experts." "TRUST THE SCIENCE!" LOL! Oh boy...
@@baneverything5580 I don't trust the science all the time. I look at evidence and make my own decision. I don't believe viruses are real for example which means Covid isn't a disease which means vaccines don't do what they are claimed which means they should not be injected into your inner body as there is no reason for it. Now flat Earth... evidence to me suggest the Earth is round. I pick and choose. Dowsing is like viruses to me... sure people are getting sick but is it caused by a virus? Similar to that people may find water but observing someone finding water is like obersiving someone geting sick and saying its caused by a virus you caught from someone else.

Using dowsing rods for plumbing is like using Tarot for HR decisions
imagine if joe switched the bucket of water for another bucket of sand and let Jason and Brian find the "water" only because they expect it to be there
would have played the same
Dowsing for water is of course silly, but it would very rarely be dangerous. The insanity and danger is much higher when people claim that they can use dowsing to find landmines! This is something that regularly pops up, and will of course lead to injuries and deaths. It's particularly insidious when it's sold to un-developed countries as a cheaper alternative to actual anti-mine equipment.
oh, yeah-- that was one of the more electronic-ish gizmos that were happening in the early 2000's.
Sounds like they work just fine...
If they have a thousand land mines to find, give a thousand villagers Rods.
Over a long enough time, they will all be found and "Disarmed".
Good point
Dowsing for water does work though. Water witches have jobs for a reason
So there is a solid argument that the people who were successful with them in the wild were so successful because they new what the signs of potential underground water are. All the rods did was let them focus on something that allowed them to unconsciously see those signs, which is why no matter how many times they can do it in a wilderness setting, they can never do it in a scientific one, the rods do nothing, its there brain thats picking up on the signs of water in the area.
Interesting 🤔

Nobody understood the physics of dowsing and metal detecting are the same.

@@michaelfercik3691 It isn't a science nor has it ever truly been proven under legitimate scientific conditions.
There have been tests done with dowsers where they were placed in a multistory building and told that there was a large body of water on the floor beneath them (which there was). With all their tricks, none of them could ever find it.
I heard dowsing rods are very effective at locating reiki practitioners
A sword that guides you around? sounds like Shadow of the Colossus to me...
With the coathangers, you can get two cheap ball point pens and strip the insides out and use those for the tubes. That's what some friends and I did in high school.

Turning the water on, so their is running water in the line seems to help.
Joe is one of the best guest and it's always a pleasure to have him on, but Jason eating sand in the end?

Thank you my friend 😊
Dowsing for water is a sham, BUT, I have seen linemen dowse for buried lines multiple times with accuracy. It is by no means perfect like a locator. The linemen would use copper conductor off the back of the truck, approximately 1 foot by 6 inches on each side of the bend.
Iv used these for years as a plumber and I can tell you 100% that they work to find leaks and pipes and water pockets for a well.
I tried their test w 10 buckets, and had them randomly switched…. 3 out of 3 times… and I was a skeptic. 😂
I was taught this very young, way back in the mountains of Southern Appalachia.
I live in a small town in the great lakes region of the US and no joke if anyone wants a well drilled in my county they have to hire a "water witch" who dowses for a good spot on your land. Which usually determines where your house will be built.
That's depressing. Damn.
- Modern Rogue Post-production Supervisor
@@skepticallypwnd yeah. It's not even the person who owns and runs the drilling equipment, it's a service all it's own. Thank modern rogue for legend smashing this one 👍
Out of curiosity, how much does it pay to be a "water witch?" Are water warlocks also accepted? Asking for a friend, who is me.
Just to be clear, there is no good evidence to support dowsing. In fact, every controlled test conducted has failed to demonstrate it's a reliable method for locating anything. In short, it's woo woo.
Great addition 😊
But it's pragmatically useful woo-woo, at least when it comes to locating water lines. It's better than just blindly guessing and in my own experience has prevented me from wasting time or damaging lines on multiple occasions. I don't claim to know it's providence, and think it is likely some sort of subconscious mental trick, but I do know that it can work very effectively when the normal means of radio detection are not an option.
@@newtonbomb It's not better though. It's been tested. Controlled studies on the matter don't show any reliability. If you believe otherwise, there are still prizes offered from different organizations around the world looking to reward anybody that can successfully demonstrate such phenomena under controlled conditions. What do you have to lose other than time? Especially if you walk away with pockets full of cash and having contributed to scientific knowledge?
@@Cthulhu013 I'm fairly confident under any controlled laboratory conditions I wouldn't perform any better than baseline chance would suggest, as those conditions would be specifically setup to isolate some actual empirical effect allowing the normally purported mystical dowsing ability for materials, which I highly doubt actually exists. What I do know is that in the real world, not an isolated laboratory setting, it has actual pragmatic use given a few conditions gathered from my experience:
1. Used to locate water lines specifically, at least that is the only use I've done it successfully for.
2. Prior knowledge of a general area (even if quite large) and vague direction (ie. from this general point on a house to where the water main hookup should tacitly be located, or some similar situation) of where the lines should be running
3. If water can be made to flow through the line it seems to make a difference in accuracy and reliability, especially when attempting to locate 90° turns and the like.
I've used it in this manner multiple times in such a fashion that should I just guess and mark where I consciously think the lines are, I would have been way off from where I dowsed them to correctly be (within + or - 10" or so generally). What the actual mechanism causing it to work effectively in that narrow use case is, I have no real idea; it could be some power of the subconscious mind to pick up on subtle clues my conscious mind cannot, such as tiny vibrations, sounds, or minute landscape/vegetation changes, or it could be some electric/dielectric field interaction. I'm not sure, and don't really care tbh if it works 🤷
I should also say that I believe it possible that someone else could also achieve reliable practical in the field dowsing ability based on a set of conditions that they gather from their own experience, and that I could also possibly build a system for using it in other cases should I have the time and need to put in the work to do so. I'd rather, and would rather others, just use an actual radio electromagnetic field effect locator or GPRS when possible which is 99.9% of the use cases I run into and no doubt the same for others.
If I remember correctly the twigs used were typically willow, but may well have varied depending on what you are looking for.
the fact that Brian had to google it actually hurts my soul
The game show should be titled “Dowse or Douse” and the gag is if you get it wrong you get doused in water.
I think dowsing rods translate “gut feeling” to a continuous readout of direction.
All of the physics involved in dowsing and metal detecting are one and the same. Read the book The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition and learn how to build the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod for using the physics explained and become a professional dowser.

We will both escrow the $10,000.00 so no way to back out.
I can even explain your bucket test flaws .. .
that plumber comment makes no sense, even if they blamed the rods, they are still responsible.
Storytime! I used to run a backhoe on a gas pipeline crew. One day the town we were working in sent an official guy to paint lines on the ground to indicate where a giant water main was underground (for us to avoid it). He pulls out a set of dowsing rods, walks around a couple minutes, and marks the line. I raised one eyebrow like really dude? This guy was a very cool old-timer and he just laughed and carefully explained how it worked, even showing me his technique and letting me try. I still remember the feeling of them clearly and it was 30 years ago. Although I wasn't convinced until I dug up the area. He was right on the money.
The rational explanation is that the guy misattributed the effectiveness of his own memory to the effectiveness of the dowsing rods. He already knew where the lines were, presumably because he had either marked them out multiple times before, or otherwise was familiar with their placement, and he unconsciously moved the rods in response to where he already knew they were.
I'm sure he BELIEVED it was the dowsing rod's doing, but really it was all him.
@@MGlBlaze Perhaps! When he let me try his instructions were just like 'feel the water'; and at one point I was sure I felt them move. But I remained very skeptical, and was surprised at the accuracy of his markings. This was in an area with long stretches of wide new road. I had never considered that he may have inspected the line when it went in, it was covered up with a street and he was really accurate compared to average underground utility marking (like phone lines or power lines located with a detector tool).
My experience I that it works, but only for flowing water.
It worked for me every time for finding underground power
@@foulphilosopher8624 I used a Rigid Seektec for power lines. The transmitter used variable frequencies and you can determine depth fairly accurately. In approximately 18 months I only missed one electrical line.
I can't believe you had to google The Princess Bride, for shame.
The rods don't find the water you do, they just act as an antenna between your frequency within you and what you seek to find
1why doesn't everyone use it
2it takes training
1why don't plumbers use it
2it isn't that easy
1why do only untrained people use it
2frequencies from the user
1why can't machines measure them

Testing it on buckets is just stupid. they need to hire and independent person to take them out and have them look for sprinkler lines in a golf course. something they have no idea of, then you still have to account for the fact it doesnt work for everyone. This proves nothing.
What's the difference? Dowsers agreed to participate, meaning they are absolutely sure about their abilities and confident that they will work. Yet they don't.
Fill all buckets with water, then put a roast in one of the buckets, cover the buckets and see what happens.
The Princess Bride. Inigo Montoya asks his dead father to guide his sword and lets his sword lead him around.
i think the reason they seem to work is if you go far enough any direction you will most likely find water
Pretty much 😊
You had me at Occultist Survival Kits. Love you guys!
Edit: the real plumbers bring thermal sensors and run hot water to find the damg pipes. Fixed the problem. Winners.
For surviving when the dark gods walk again unto our land
Occult Survivalist Kits! I gotta get to work on those!
definitely am sketched out by the sponsor here, would urge to reconsider
Kinda weird how a channel which teaches people about scams so often has scammers sponsor them.
Props to Jason to for the ending I was not expecting.
Right? Same!
the real move would've been to make all 5 buckets sand
I believe the movie he was thinking of is Princess Bride when he finds the torture chamber in the tree with his fathers sword asking for his fathers direction (;

The number of people in the business of locating utilities that use these is truly horrifying and makes the number of lines that get cut make more sense
I didn't have to scroll much farther down in the comments to find someone saying they do precisely that.
And it honestly explains so much why my local county once made me lose internet for a whole week when clearing out a drainage ditch.
@@ComradePhoenix to be fair, many times there is actually no scientific device or way to locate some types of underground utilities due to either materials or corrosion over time, so it is often not the workers fault. Sometimes you just have to dig slowly and hope you get lucky (which you don't always or often neccessarily).
@@newtonbomb In this case, there was no excuse. The ISP had little boxes along the road, and orange flags placed between them. Besides, doesn't 'call 811 before you dig' exist for a reason?
@@ComradePhoenix fair enough. They were probably just lazy and didn't dig down with a shovel to find it like they should've before they went at with the machine. Happens all the time, I work for an ISP and if I had a nickel for everytime our fiber got broke for just that reason I'd be more than a few dollars richer.
If I had a plumber come by and he pulled out a pair of rods, I would be taking photos before telling him to get out, he's not getting a cent, and if he or his company even tries to kick up a fuss about it, I'll be sharing those photos with the cops.
Im 56 seconds in, and the movie you are looking for is Princess Bride. Don't know if you figure it out later in the video, but just for the record XD
My family are atheists, my dad is one of the most reasonable people I know. He still somehow believes in dowsing. He's very defensive too, the emperor isn't very certain about his new clothes. It's maddening. He is also a very intuitive, smart person--so his belief that it works comes from his actual knowledge and experience finding water as a driller/blaster. But it must be the rods, not his 50+ years of knowledge.
He's also not very self aware and its my opinion that it gives people more access to their subconscience, that's why people feel "funny" when they do it. They don't usually notice how much their brain works.
that tracks, imo. -Brian
I was expecting them all to be sand
Quite clearly the minute movements in the hands are causing the rods to go where you want them, are expecting them to go. You should explain it to someone who's totally ignorant of the idea, that the rods spin AWAY from the water. And I guarantee you that's what you'd see in that person.
I appreciate the idea of buying random artwork, but don't try and fool me into believing that billionaires are not just laundering money Mr. Modern Rogue Sir.
This randomly popped up when searching something else. Haven’t see that guy in over a decade back when I watched “Scam School” Podcast on my Zune when I was in High School. Wow! Blast from the past.
the movie Brian was thinking of at the start is Adam Sandler's Click
it was an episode of loony tunes, elmer fudd was using a sword to find bugs.
(DISCLAIMER: NOT AN EXPERT)
I think the reason it works (or at least worked in the past) is because humans have an innate intuition that we either ignore or distrust. By using a tool that is mostly chaotic (like Dowsing Rods or Pendulums), your intuition meets with your ideomotor response and you end up being able to visualize your intuition and making it more likely to guess correctly and confidently.
AGAIN, I am not an expert, I literally haven't researched this since about a decade ago.
Not gonna lie. I kinda dig this theory 😊
I was expecting all the buckets to be sand.
Some of my coworkers definitely come to work with a negative -energy- measurable capacity to do work
I don't know almost anything about dowsing, but this doesn't seem like a fair / accurate test.... And these people were clearly biased going into this.
I love that scene in Die Hard.
Funny how they “don’t” work.. when I was a kid, my dad had professional well drillers come out a drilled for a well based on geological surveys and got nothing. Then he had a waterwitcher come out with his dowsing rods, marked a spot, drilled there and got water at 4 gpm at a shallower depth than the first hole was drilled to. Later drilled deeper and the well had 12 gpm. Multiple people tried it, and no matter how tight the rods were held, they still turned at the same place, all while not knowing for certain if there was water there. But yeah, somehow it didn’t work. 🤷♂️
You can find water almost everywhere if you drill deep enough.
The damn Princess Bride when Inyego is trying to find "the Man in Black". SMH
My dad worked for the watter company, he had dowsers...
I could 100% see this being a challenge on the survivor show
Humans are 97% water and dont see an issue with a handheld water detecting device 😂😂😂😂
Oh fuck I feel so stupid right now! I see him hold the coat hangers loosely in his hand and I am literally like: “why again did I make those from brass rod and a live or brass pipe where I slid a pipe as a handle and tapped a brass ball on the bottom for the 4 pairs I used in my show?!” I could’ve just had to bend the thin brass bar and be done.” Damn… where were you guys 15 years ago 😂😂😂
I actually used 4 individuals and what I did was covertly also looking who was the most open for suggestion for the suggestion/hypnosis bit later on. And I would keep the two best and have 5 “dove pans ;)” and had them dowse usually. The most suggestive person went second so seeing the first person’s rods cross would unconsciously also do for them. Sometime with a little suggestive nudge. And then you have a seeming miracle that they both found 1 “dove pan” with water (is actually used oil) and the others empty. If they’d disagree I’d urge them to try and come to a consensus. But 4 out of 5 times that wasn’t even necessary.
50% of the time it works 100% of the time.
Theoretically letting your subconscious brain take control over that could in theory help you (very much just in theory) for example in your peripheral vision you saw some water far away, your conscious brain didn't "perceive" it but your brain still decided to remember it
I like Joe Diamond bringing his showmanship to the scientific-adjacent test
Thank you 😊
One big problem. No professional dowsers on this video. Read The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition book to learn the physics involved in dowsing for yourself becoming a professional dowser.
