Is it possible for bacteria from a flushing toilet to reach a toothbrush 6’ away? The guys put the urban legend to rest once and for all—with disturbing results. Later, Tom challenges Seth and Michael to test a theory that is easier said than done.
2 Crushed by a Truck
1/13/14
Things get heavy as a two-and-a-half-ton truck makes an appearance in-studio as four ceramic coffee mugs attempt to support its entire weight. Tom’s challenge of writing the number six while rotating your corresponding leg clockwise baffles everyone.
3 Shrimp on a Treadmill
1/20/14
What happens if you give someone a virgin drink but tell them it’s alcoholic? Seth tests the theory of whether drunkenness is truly in the eye of the beer-holder. Michael tests a shrimp’s endurance, believing it’s greater than the average human.
4 Proof is in the Pudding
1/20/14
Seth puts the nickname “bird brain” to the test, believing that pigeons can remember human faces. We all know there’s nothing like a little fun in the sun—, but is your swimsuit making you… dumber? Can pudding dance —and can you dance on top of pudding?
5 Mad Bulls See Red
1/27/14
Is it the color red that really makes a bull angry? Can you hang upside down from the ceiling fan using only glue? Can a yolk be separated from the white of an egg using only an empty plastic bottle? Hosts, Tom, Michael and Seth solve the puzzles!
6 Eyelash Monsters
1/27/14
Tom, Michael, and Seth prove that: You can stretch a bathing cap enough for an adult to fit inside of it. There are mites that live on your eyelashes that are visible under electron microscope. People are more likely to believe statements that rhyme.
7 Bubble Wrap Drop
2/3/14
Tom, Michael and Seth prove that: The color red enhances men’s attraction to women. You can survive a 13' drop if you're wrapped in bubble wrap. Cows that are given names produce more milk than cows that aren't.
8 Faster Than A Speeding Bullet
2/3/14
Tom, Michael and Seth prove that: A rock shot from a lawnmower can have the same force as a bullet from a 9mm handgun. You can bend a stream of water with static electricity from a balloon.
9 Pigeons Beat Machines
2/17/14
Which is faster: Carrier pigeon or fax machine? Don't plan on the aroma of coffee getting you up in the morning--smells are unlikely to wake you in a deep sleep. The ultimate question is answered: Did the chicken or the egg come first?
10 Swearing Dulls Pain
2/17/14
Michael claims that swearing helps increase pain tolerance. And Seth has a test that’s music to a gearhead's ears: Are Ferraris engineered to idle at the third and sixth harmonic? Tom's fact proves just how strange nature can be.
11 Don’t Get Cold Feet
2/24/14
Seth believes there are certain dance moves that women find more attractive. To test this theory, the guys show off their dance skills to a few gracious audience volunteers. And Tom proves that when you're scared, you literally get cold feet.
12 Battle of the Sexes
2/24/14
Tom settles the battle of the sexes once and for all: Is it true that women are better than men at remembering directions? And Seth fires up the audience with his fun fact: The lighter was actually invented before the match.
13 Hot Women Make Men Dumb
3/3/14
Michael brings in heavy artillery for his experiment: Is it possible to climb a wall using ordinary vacuum cleaners? And Seth brings an amusing fact to the table: Is it possible that after a conversation with an attractive woman, men get ... dumber?
14 Swimming Pool Surprise
3/3/14
Seth presents a rather puzzling fact: The more a pool smells like chlorine, the dirtier it is. And Tom's experiment will pull at the heartstrings of even the most skeptical romantics: Your pupils expand when looking at somebody you love?
