>> Breathable clothing. >> Nudity is wrong. >> BRIAN: [laughing] Nudity is wrong! >> For some people. [laughter] >> I don't even want to burn--
I'm done burning plastic forks for amusement. For fear of any of that landing on me. >> I'm imagining you
standing out on your front porch just like, smiling at
neighbors, "How y'all doing?" "Just burning forks." >> "I'm just trying to earn
a reputation as that guy." [laughter] "How you doing?" >> JASON: "Hey man!"
>> BRIAN: But that's over. >> JASON: "Hey Bill!"
>> BRIAN: Those days are gone. >> "You ever done time?" "Eh, just asking." ♪ [smooth melody with sharp percussion] >> ROBOT VOICE: Trash bags as weapons. >> Jason, I'm concerned
about the friends you keep. >> Ah— [stammering] You? [laughter]
>> No, I mean your friend who has all these prison torture tactics. >> This is actually a
completely different friend. This is anecdotal. A guy who was in the joint told me that this is what they did to— >> Torture people?
>> Snitches. There's no self-defense use for this. >> Yeah, no, this is something Modern Rogue needs to fear. How about that?
>> Yes, and I want to see if it works, if it's an
actual thing, I think it is. >> BRIAN: So, because
you're right, these stories, you hear them and you're
a teenager or a kid, you're like, "Oh, sure, that makes sense." But it's like, let's get
some science behind it and find out how bad it is. All right.
>> Well I wouldn't say "science." >> BRIAN: Okay, describe for
me this terrible torture. >> JASON: All we need is an open flame, trash bags, and toothpaste. >> See, the toothpaste
is the weird part to me. >> Toothpaste is a
multi-purpose thing in prison. It's often used as
adhesive, or to hide things. One guy actually managed to
file away his prison bars and then glue them back
into place with toothpaste. >> Oh my god,
imagine you're just there and knowing at any moment, you
could just go "Hi-ya!," and then out you go. >> Exactly. Now, they are often used as
adhesives and things like that. We're basically going to
use this to make napalm. >> All right, so we need some simulated flesh.
>> This is really terrible. >> Do we have
that expired lunch meat? >> JASON: [exasperatedly] Ugh, yeah. >> BRIAN: The toothpaste
is there to be sticky. >> Yes. >> But does the toothpaste burn? >> I think it
heats up and is sticky and bubbling and hot. >> BRIAN: But definitely the plastic of this trash bag will burn, right? >> Yeah, it is— >> I'm just acting like I know, I just assume you wrap it around this stick and drip.
>> I don't know! I was only told about this like 25 years ago. >> Only 25 years ago...
>> Yeah! >> So, like this? So we got— >> JASON: I think—yeah. >> Does that seem right?
>> That should work, right? >> We should have
a way to put this out. The twist ties! >> Yeah, I have a
bucket of water right here. This is new territory, I don't
know what's going to happen. >> Yeah, I'm sorry,
I'm totally just taking the basics and just guessing. I'm taking this and I'm taking two of them and twisting them together. So, this is a bunch, I'm going to squeeze all of the toothpaste to the very front. >> JASON: In my research, I was unable to find anything about this. >> BRIAN: Any reference.
>> JASON: Any reference to this whatsoever. >> But allegedly,
the story you heard is that this was the
punishment for snitches. >> Yeah, someone who
was laying down or sleeping. >> Okay. >> You light this like a torch,
>> Yeah? and let it—drip onto their face.
>> BRIAN: Just let it drip all over them. >> Okay, how fast
does it take to burn? Hold on, let me look this up. This is a safety site on scald prevention, it says at water
temperature of 104 degrees, you're safe to bathe. At 120, you get third degree
burns in five minutes. At 130, you get third
degree burns in 10 seconds. At 155, 1-55 Fahrenheit, you a get a third degree
burn in one second. And boiling water, obviously is even more, it's 212 Fahrenheit, so basically, ♪ ♪ I just want to know
what this does to flesh and how bad it's going to mess you up. >> What I am thinking is that it is going to burn, yes, but the main thing is
you're going to have hot plastic sticking onto your skin and like fusing. I don't know how you would get this out. >> You can't get it
off, I'm sure, I'm sure. It's stuck on there, it's going
to peel the skin right off. Right, right? >> Nightmare-ish.
>> Right‽ >> JASON: Oh, god.
>> BRIAN: Okay, so our big question is how hot is it,
and how does it react when it splatters? We should wear aprons. >> JASON: Oh, yeah.
>> BRIAN: Let's... safety break. We are going to see how this drips. You want to do it twice and test or just— let's do it all at once.
>> Yeah. One of our job will be
to get the temperature, the other one will be
to gauge the scariness. We've got a fire extinguisher. >> Bucket of water.
>> If it gets scary, put it in the bucket of water. Wear these, for the love of goodness. Once it burns and splatters, you go ahead and put it out,
we'll examine the splatter and we'll examine the temperature and how nasty and gnarly it is. >> Okay, are we sure that this is not going to
set off the smoke alarm? >> No, we're not. >> [defeatedly] Okay. >> BRIAN: Make sure you tip it down,
and the moment the flame gets too big, don't overreact, just dip it in the water. >> JASON: It's going to be—[screaming]
Throw it! [laughing] >> You joke, but
people do dumb [bleep] when fire goes nuts. >> I've seen you do dumb [bleep]. >> BRIAN: Yeah, all right, all right. Whoop, get that away, that's bad.
>> JASON: Jeez! >> BRIAN: It's fine. [smashing] >> There's literally
no reason to do this. >> The internet! [smack] >> JASON: So, imagine this person is... this snitch is slumbering. >> Is it not going? [lighter flicks] [light static] >> BRIAN: Hey, you're burning your hand. You're setting your glove on fire. >> Yeah, that's bad. >> Could we trade jobs? >> That's bad.
Uh yeah, sure. >> Can I be the fire guy?
>> Yeah, do that. [blowtorch fuming] >> JASON: Oh, that'll work. [blowtorch fuming] >> BRIAN: Oh, it's not— [resumed fuming] It's not melting or dripping. [crackling sizzle] I think that the toothpaste didn't add very much to this at all. I think the toothpaste is
mostly water, [laughter] and it's actively stopping
this from burning. >> Yeah.
>> I say we try it again with just trash bag. >> No, you're
absolutely right, I think— >> I think the toothpaste is a dumb urban legend part of this. >> Yeah! [blowtorch firing] I mean, here, look at this. [blowtorch firing] Yeah didn't even sizzle. >> Oh wow.
>> Look at that, it's just sad bubble gum. >> JASON: Yeah, and it's
not like you're going to have a torch. >> Well, yeah!
>> In prison. >> [laughing]
You're not going to have a MAPP gas torch for sure. >> Okay, well, let's try
it with just the trash bags. >> Just the trash bag. >> I'm very disappointed. >> Wow!
>> And also kind of relieved? >> Yeah!
>> -at the same time. >> BRIAN: I'm certainly surprised. >> I knew he was full of [bleep]. [Brian's laughter] ♪ ♪
[blowtorch firing] >> JASON: Okay, we're actually at 68 ♪ [jazzy beat] degrees.
>> BRIAN: Boy, even this bag doesn't even want to stay on fire. >> Huh. [blowtorch firing] I'm sure these fumes
are perfectly healthy. [big woosh]
>> BRIAN: [fading] It will not be the first time. [typing]
>> robot narrator: They are not. [blowtorch firing] >> I mean, I guess at this point, you just, there you go, there you go! >> JASON: 71, it's really
not jumping up that high. It's only getting to 78, it's 71. [affecting his Space Razor Blade accent]
>> BRIAN: Punishment for snitching, ...is itching. Itching and burning! >> Yeah, and it dries immediately. >> BRIAN: Yeah, I guess
that's the next thing we'll want to test is trying
to pick that off of flesh.
>> Right. >> Remember that the light and the sensor don't exactly line up. The light is above the sensor.
>> JASON: Oh, yeah. Oh, that's much hotter. >> Yeah, I think
you were just aiming off. >> Yeah, that's—
we're at 150 degrees. Anywhere, yeah.
>> BRIAN: This is instant third degree burns, all over the place. >> We're going
up to like 200 degrees there. >> Holy crap. >> JASON: Yeah, 185, 186,
206, if you get the light just above it where the sensor is correct. Oh man, it's
picking up like 450 degrees. >> 450 degrees of
instantly sticky, tacky liquid. >> JASON: 380 degrees. >> All right, here, let's
take it over to new flesh. >> Yeah, we're up to like 193, 203. >> So that's
boiling water temperatures of stuff.
>> JASON: 320 degrees. 300 degree, yeah.
>> What about over here? >> 199, 212. >> God, that looks awful.
>> Yeah. >> I'm going to take it back,
I'm going to walk it back. I'm going to say the story is true except for just not about toothpaste.
>> JASON: Yeah yeah. So yeah, once you get it going like this?
>> Yeah. >> 500 degrees right there. >> Here, I got this. Look at that.
>> JASON: 600 degrees. >> BRIAN: Boy, look at that, even after, even after the fire goes out, it's still smoldering and boiling. >> 400 degrees. >> Oh my god! ♪ [horns blare of smooth beat] [each hit of molten plastic dramatically stings and sizzles the meat] >> BRIAN: Yeah, so, 400 degree molten lava splashing on your body. Okay, I'm calling it.
>> Okay. I'm going to soak this,
I'm putting this in. >> Yeah, dump that. [Brian shudders] >> Wow. >> I don't want any part of this. >> I mean, this
is, I don't know that the toothpaste has anything to do with it, but you had it at what, 400 degrees plus? >> Yeah.
>> And in this case, we have this nice moisture
coating on here, so it peels off. But imagine that's just fused... >>> BOTH: To your skin. >> JASON: Yeah.
>> BRIAN: And it's like, and that's a big glob. Look [stammers]
you're trying to pick that off, and it's just peeling
your flesh up with it. >> Yeah.
>> God, that would be brutal. >> If this were dry
like actual human flesh? >> You would be ruined.
>> Yeah. Like look at that, it just,
it's fused on there. >> JASON: You're not
going to eat it, are you? >> Oh, god no. >> Yeah, it's just, like scabby. >> This is closer,
you can see this is a place where the meat actually
burned and fused to it. That just seems horrific. >> This would be hell. >> Well, and keep in
mind, this meat was cooled to what, 60 degrees? >> Yeah.
>> So, it's much lower than body temperature,
it's covered in moisture. This legend, where does it
land on the spectrum of truth? >> I would say
pretty close to 100% true. Once you remove the toothpaste,
absolutely effective. >> Yeah, you
think the toothpaste part was just nonsense? >> I still think there
might be a way that we could get the toothpaste to work, but why? Because this accomplished everything. >> Exactly. Here's what I know for sure, is that that stuff is way
hotter and way nastier than I dared fear. This is genuinely horrifying, and that if anybody is
dumb enough to be thinking of melting plastic near their
flesh, they should reconsider. >> Yeah, this
is a horrible nightmare and it will disfigure you forever. >> Yeah, don't burn plastic. [Brian chiming a jaunty tune] [Jason laughing] Hot damn, Jason Murphy,
new sponsor! >> I know!
>> Mack Weldon, top quality beautiful
clothing that feels so good. The moment I put on this
Mack Weldon clothing, everything breathes, it's
got maximum air flow, my pits and my bits are breathing. >> Snug, good fit,
quality material. Unlike the cheap rags that I usually drape across my carcass. >> I got a bunch of underwear. They got the breathability,
like I sleep in mine and they've got the really
long ones and everything hugs. It's awesome.
>> You need everything to hug and breathe down there.
>> It feels great! Top quality.
