- The theory is that the wind can get so strong in a tropical hurricane that it can blow a piece of straw through a palm tree trunk. Only this time, they do it with more devastating speed and accuracy than in Mythbusters history!
Using science as a tool, Hollywood special effects experts attempt to debunk rumours, urban legends and popular myths that have captivated the minds of many individuals.

Kari, Grant, and Tori: Do plants have feelings? Adam and Jamie: Torture a tree.
i mean, the polygrapth would probably go nuts in the moment of impact xD
What do you mean? they are performing Acupuncture!
@@TheLastVoodooMan oooh Acupuncture. If only Mythbusters tested that!
Frankly, the fact that the polygraph suggested plants, eggs, and yogurt had emotions should tell you just about all you need to know about the scientific value of the polygraph.
Everyone knows what they're worth since they're not even allowed be used In evidence
@@user-ii8oy3qg2t The way I understand it, they are pressuring tools, like the small room, the unconfortable chair, the too bright light.
A good detective don't need the polygraph to tell when someone is telling bullshit, but they can look at it and go "umph".
10:21 Yogurt? ... not only has Yogurt feelings, it even has culture!
Nice one
Jup
Yogurt The Wise. Yogurt The All Powerful. Yogurt The Magnificent.
lmfao
Good one, dad👍🏻
Answer the question Imahara.
These older episodes are the best. The era, the tests and the myths... everything has that extra touch of magic. Thnx for uploading!
he might come to your dream cause he is no more...rip
derp
12:15 this dude shoulda been the sixth mythbuster
I remember this Episode pretty good, watching this in the 2000s. Even in Germany, mythbusters was a big thing back then.
Yea! I loved it then and I still do!
So glad I found the Episodes on YT
Ja ich schaue hier auch noch jede folge haha
36:56 Tory almost let his intrusive thoughts win 👀
An airgun on Mythbusters is like chips/fries with a burger.
I had to think then "who has chips with a burger?" The I remembered I'm from Yorkshire 😂😂.. ME!
Great, now I'm hungry for a burger and some fries 😂
Yeah, but can those fries penetrate a tree?
@@RB-bd5tz
probably if they are in the m5 warehouse
@@RB-bd5tz if you leave them to harden for long enough...
Terrance shoulda been in front of the camera more, the guy woulda fit right in
Kari won't believe plants have feelings as she already is a vegetarian, she doesn't want to starve.
Not being able to use the palm, because it's not native to the tropics is ridiculous. Bamboo isn't native to where I live, but you can sure as hell still find it here.
Just to say, the wind speed of 318mph is roughly 41.5% the speed of sound
and 20% of the average german on the autobahn xD
thats the reason they flash their lights to signal the car infront that they wanna pass. Sound wouldn't get there
I love that Jamie’s first response to Adam possibly being hurt is to ask him if he’s OK.
The B myth in this episode was just bizarre 😆
"I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees. And the trees are asking what in the name of feck y'all are doing"
'Setting a new low in flight food' really god me cracking
Here here. I saw your comment but just heard it with context and it made me chuckle😂😂
43:37 Something tells me she's known about that for a long time.
I think I never seen this episode, seems new to me. Love such weird myths like the palm tree one.
Wouldn't the metal room block any mental thoughts from reaching the plant?
No, consciousness is non-local, so telepathy isn't necessarily limited to such things. Rather, trying to measure the plant's condition with polygraphs and ecgs is idiotic. They might have had better luck with a spectrometer, but I don't think those kind are available to the public.
44:07 The looks on Kari and Grant's faces hahahaha
"Will Jamie be surprised of the size of Adam's trunk"? LOL.
Aol… kids are gonna be wondering what that old website was about.
Remember having to 🪵 log into the Internet!?
Oh dang...my Dad always mentioned that plant experiment,
when we were in the botanical garden, by the violas xD
"Let's clean this up tomorrow"
Cut to next morning, everyone wretching all over the place courtesy of the chicken carcass left to hang unrefridgerated 😂
I have searched for this episode for over 5 years.
Congratulations 👏🏻🎉
Than you!
Silly goose, it was only uploaded 3 hours ago 😂
Well here it is. Also it makes me feel old that this was over 5 years ago when it was on air😂😂
Because of this episode on tv i got into airguns and 5 years ago i started building air cannons. And when that happened, i wanted to see this episode again.
8:05 Jamie's reactions are so precious. 😂
HAHAH Grant would have LOVED to see the new "robots" that are being made for .. Robotizing
I need someone to outline Robert Lee's (the narrator) journey to the bizarre range of accents that make up his unique way of speaking.
He says words such as "car" like a Canadian Maritimer. I've heard Adam say he is Canadian. But he also pronounces words like "fertile" like an American: "fertle." He adds an intrusive "R" when he says things like "... the idea is...", making it "... the idear is..." like a Brit, Aussie, or Kiwi. He pronounces "HQ" as "haytch cue" like a cartoon Cockney. I could go on. Suffice to say, as far as I can tell, he's a Canadian-American-Australian-Englishman.
Wait, what's weird about how we say "car"?

Well now almost 20 years later we know, that plants do scream 😂 once a myth turns around thanks to science not letting it go
Tory and Grant harassing a plant is a peak m7 moment
To test if the polygraph is just picking up random things, they could've just hook it up to a table and leave it in an isolated environment.
I always thought this myth was about drinking straws. Which makes a bit more sense to me, tbh.
"Why won't the tree scream!"
Seeing these episodes is bitter sweet knowing that gran died a few years ago
Who tf is terrence? Budget Tory or what
I don't think comparing plants and bacteria is equivalent
Getting all Unit 731 on them plants there.
I couldn't help but to laugh at Tories summary of his mental attacks 😂😂 "evil attack" 😂
11:50 is that Tori from Aliexpress?
Oh my gosh AOL is still being used at this time😹 It feels so long ago
They needed to use only 1 piece of reed. If ive learned anything from all these gun youtubers, its that a smaller projectile at high speeds (like a 556 round) is going to go thru a plate of armour better /cleaner than a larger round (like a .45) at a slower speed.
just had the same thought
What about if the projectiles are going at the same speed, like they've actually tested?
There's a few things that weren't considered in this experiment.
They only used short pieces of straw when a longer piece would have more weight behind it.
Another problem I thought was that in a hurricane the tree would be blown around, bent and stressed in many ways which could loosen the fibres in the trunk weakening its structure.
There's probably more I haven't thought of too.
@@btf_flotsam478 even if both projectiles are going the same speed. A wad of reed is impacting the palm tree with a greater surface area. A single reed is going to pierce through the tree more like a needle would pierce through a t shirt.
@@mytch7968 What happens if you line up a bunch of needles and throw them at a T-shirt? I suspect they penetrate with just as much force per needle.
polygraph, lol. wonder why those are no longer admissible
0:42 Did any one know from which episode is this short of Adam?
It is from the episode "Ming Dynasty Astronaut". Particularly from the build team's myth about if a ceiling fan can cause decapitation. It is near the end of the episode during their final test.
Plants do scream. They've discovered they emit frequencies that we can't hear when they are cut or injured. So vegetarians and vegans can re-evaluate their lifestyles.
I've never been aware of that production was deciding what to test and how... What is production for me is, put the money, find the director, sell to Discovery. I was thinking Adam and Jamie was picking the subject, testing methods, probs and everytging. I mean full control. But apperantly that was not the case.
Min 38:25 That is definitely not a white blood cell
Honestly they should've used plant sprouts instead of eggs. Maybe that could've had some different results since an egg isn't really "alive"
Plants having feelings isn't a myth, it's a 1963 research paper backed-up fact called Beckster Effect. I think they added it in the show because Kari is a vegetarian.

Miss you much Grant! RIH
i dont think those are "sentiments", its more about warning other plants of the same species around them for a fire or any other danger
49:23 lol
I don't get it. Where does that "myth" come from? Straw through a palm tree? Never heard that one b4.
I think they should try wet straws.
They should've used plant sprouts instead of eggs since an egg isn't really "alive"
Sadist Kari 😳
My friend owned once a plant. If you touched leaf of the plant it turned down leaf. I dont remember anymore what is name of the plant.
Mimosa?
For some reason i thought they meant a drinking straw went through a tree!? 😂 i was like how the hell can you propel a hollow bendy cylinder
Can someone tell me what episode 0:43 to 0:45 is from?
It is from the episode "Ming Dynasty Astronaut". Particularly from the build team's myth about if a ceiling fan can cause decapitation. It is near the end of the episode during their final test.
I love mythbusters since birth
maybe their plant was xenophobic and didn't care about the eggs
They zero dark thirtied that plant lmao
48:52
"I only eat things that I kill myself." Well, okay then.
Has anybody tallied how much stuff Adam has up his nose
That breach-loader gonna leak af
"Basket weaving is a primitive peoples favorite class" oooof, that did not age well.
?????
Copper pipe :(
When I was young,60 years ago, I saw a picture of a sigaret pierced through a cars windscreen after an accident. I still wonder if this is possible, even the windscreens in this area where different than nowadays.
I doubt it.
A cigarette is very light, the tobacco is surrounded by a lot of air (empty space) and the paper is quite thin either.
Even back in the day before laminated glass, I doubt one could be accelerated enough (without disintegration) to penetrate glass.
“…a cars…”
@@stanislavczebinski994 You never know. It may be one of those things they saw and nobody believes them. I'm gonna trust the stranger on the internet and think it did happen even if it may not have lol
22:03 take that vegans!
At minutes 2:59 you can see a Toyota RAV4 ev in the background, a super rare electric vehicles 🚗
how can you tell it's an EV?
According to the end credit this was filmed in 2006 but the EV version of the RAV4 produced in collaboration with Tesla was made in 2012 so it can't be an EV Rav4
@@TheFlighteur it looks like a 1997-2003 original rav4 , it had a nimh battery and was made by a joint venture Toyota Panasonic, Tesla did not exist yet
@@abcpeathere is no spare tire in the reflex and it is a particular color (2001ish model by the aerial)
@@ssupertutorial thanks I learned something ! I did know Tesla didn't exist yet, it was my main point behind my comment but didn't make it obvious enough
aahahahaahahaahahah
Sorry do it wrong. Massive failure
I knew it was the wrong palm!
wait I want to see a wire go through an engine block
ahhhhh grant u died to young
been so alone he wanted to make a robot blow one up to you bro
should've got my mans terry on the show more. Definitely a main character
7:14 "This is correct." I like this guy.
9:54 Grant's right, plants do have feelings and can scream!
I love that he knew that!
(Edit:) Oh, he's basing it on shaky ideas as opposed to the scientific research that does show this. My grandpa, a scientist, researcher, and professor in the field of agriculture knew this when I was little (many) years ago. 😊
If you who are reading this comment are curious, look up "The Nature of Things" episode "What Trees Talk About" by scientist and science communicator David Suzuki & the CBC where the researcher they interview discusses this... she's spoken of as having discovered this for the first time which irks me given my grandpa knew, but I'm glad one of the many things he knew but didn't have the time to write a paper about, is finally becoming better known. 🙂
When they were editing this episode and included the sequence where they complain about the producers wanting the palm tree changed for one more accurate to the myth, I wonder if they realised how _bad_ a look for Jamie and Adam this was. Like, the producers are being fairly reasonable in expecting that the myths they're testing are being tested under the most accurate conditions they can replicate, but Jamie and Adam are griping and making out the producers are being unreasonable because "We spent a long time putting the wrong palm tree down range".
10:21 - Kari was such a cutie back then
49:11 but during a storm the palm 🌴 tree may be weaken due storm so in that weaken state it may posible a straw goes through trunk of the 🌴 or also the straw get wet during a storm so it's possible a wet straw goes through trunk or if a straw hit weak spot of tree trunk
So this myth may hold some truth 🤓🤓
It's actually been proven, even found straw thru thick rubber insulated wires
39:50 her expression here is so cute
First view 🎉
I get excited with anticipation every day since the,almost,daily upload of these videos
Yoghurt ostracism 😂😂
