xQc Reacts to Porch Pirate vs. Glitter Bomb Trap 2.0 | Mark Rober | xQcOW

oh please dude this guy stole my guys listen it not this again did last year okay everybody in showers against me I thought it was fake and literally 90% of chat was like you're so dumb it's not fake man I did it i packaged it now he doesn't same video didn't want to open it in his house what he doesn't know is that this is a new and improved custom built bait package that is recording him on four different cameras that just released a pound of the world's finest glitter along with some other nasty surprises but to understand how we got to this point we need to go back one and a half years because that's when someone stole a package from my porch and the police wouldn't do anything about it even with the video footage which made me sad and so drawing inspiration from one of my childhood heroes I decided to make a bait package to lure would-be thieves and the Internet seem to like you but despite my best efforts 1.7 million packages are either stolen or go missing every day hello Holli Koki he's still alive Hagen I'm sorry it's just that home alone was the entire inspiration for the glitter bomb no no that's cool I love that just I do other things with my life like run my website bunny ears calm but seriously though your design was good but actually I think me get a little bit better I suppose Macaulay's help my friend Shawn and I have literally spent the last 10 months designing building and testing a new and improved design for 2019 so today I'm gonna walk you through all the upgrades and then show you what happens when you unleash ten of these bait packages on random suburban porches all across America we started with a complete redesign of the box to make it more streamlined and secure for contrast last year's dissipative a bit of a rat's nest the fundamentals are still the same or you have a battery-powered custom printed circuit board on the bottom that has a built-in accelerometer so it can sense when it's been jostled and then it tells these four phones to start recording and these are wide-angle lens so as you can see you'll be able to record the thief no matter which side they open it from it and then right here we have some fart spray but we added a second bottle this year so as both these motors spin cams around not only does it sprayed twice as much but we changed the formula this time around and it is wretched oh I feel like hitches a tattered never done that to be clear and just to prove how much worse it was I sprayed last year's formula labeled a and then this year's formula labeled B for 10 different people without telling them which was alton independently agreed this year's was much worse and we keep spraying it every 30 seconds to ensure they get rid of the package out of their house before they realize there's four phones inside this increases our chances of recovering it since we already know the package location at all times due to the GPS tracking on all the phone but even if we submerged oh it could already spread glitter and shipping what you want to keep it maybe you can do it like you know do to other zone like that or at least see what's inside they covered all their footage to the cloud right away so then we can see what happened and then we have the main course which is the spinning cup powered by a motor underneath here which we fill with the finest glitter we could find which is actually biodegradable this year as a nod to our good friend Mother Earth we also had its sound effects this year so after both the glitter and the fart spray of successfully deployed we start counting down 5 4 3 nothing actually happens at the end but they won't know that and then finally after that why we added some fake police scanner chatter just because it seemed like the right thing to do besides you can see once you slip this cover over it becomes nearly impossible to access the phones now without special tools and so finally we've got the lid which has these two holes here which we cover with one-way film so we can record the outside world even when the lid is on and you'll notice that this is a total custom print these are the fictitious Buzz 700s named of course after Kevin's older brother and if the thieves took just two seconds to actually inspect the package they would see that all the words on the side are just slightly modified quotes from home in addition to this amazing testimonial and so then we just slapped on a fake shipping label and used a random barcode sticker to cover up the nightly charging port and we were good to go so the idea is the bad guy comes sneaking by and then steals it off the porch and then when they eventually remove the lid a magnet taped inside it triggers this Hall effect sensor which tells a circuit board brain it's go time and everything is set in motion and as far as I'm concerned relatively harmless karmic justice has never looked so beautiful [Music] nice cool [ __ ] holy [ __ ] and so now all that was left was to find porches for all the boxes so I sent out a call to all my followers on social media and we received over 400 applicants who have all dealt with repeated package thefts in the past and then from that we narrowed the list down to just a handful and soon we had packages out all over the country we also set up a website so I could sit in my Batcave here and monitor all the boxes to see their current locations record states battery phone levels and even check the camera feed on any box at any time and things started out a bit rocky when we got a notification that the first box was stolen and then we noticed it was intermittently moving all throughout the city so while we were trying to locate it we checked the feed and realized a UPS driver was so convinced the package was real he scanned it and picked it up and it was riding around in his truck Jag's when someone else picked up the box we didn't have the lid seal fully worked out yet so as they were walking around glitter started to spill out yo Nick which is as they say it's totally a scam when you open it it's gonna explode with glitter this lady took it off a porch put open it upside down as soon as she heard the countdown timer though she rushed it back to the porch she stole it from just in time for nothing to happen but then the thefts began to pile up and we started hitting our stride recovery sequence initiated [Music] [Music] shut up super nasty fart initiated 15 14 13 12 [Music] [Music] after we tracked down this package and recovered we walked by the store and they were sweeping and spring Febreze which felt amazing and in the middle of all this something happened that I still can't wrap my head around one of the volunteers we sent a package to who obviously knows my channel and follows me on social media who I even interviewed to make sure he seemed legit decided it would be a good idea to steal my package from me and never had any intention of either putting it out on his porch or sending it back to us after a week of us being really nice and trying to work with him he effectively admitted as such and then blocked and ghosted me and it's just like bro if you're gonna steal from someone don't pick the dude who just spent a year and a half of his life avenging theft of a $5 Amazon package if I'm willing to get that petty over something I could easily reorder what do you think I'm gonna do to the guy who steals the outcome of that year and a half of work I quit my job at NASA to make youtube videos and I only make 12 of them a year so I have plenty of time and I love to obsess over these little details plus even though this is more of a science channel than a prank channel I love coming up with these ideas like when I took this Freddy Krueger action figure and taped it to the back of my wife's car right in front of the backup camera and so after a little detective work I discovered he gave us his real name and phone number but he shipped it to his buddy's address so I found his real address and then did two relatively harmless things the first is I've heard once the Scientologists have your contact info and know you're even remotely interested they will follow you the rest of your life and so since I had all his contact info hypothetically I might have gone on their website and said I was very interested in learning more and then I ordered $300 worth of their starting course material so they know he's a very high-value contact worth keeping track of and the second thing was I'd assigned over 10 custom postcards just for him for example he's from Texas so I thought a thank-you note for his $500 donation to Texans for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign would be nice or this registration confirmation for the upcoming three provision but the trick is while I addressed it in his name I went on Google Maps and looked like his neighbor's addresses and hypothetically I might have accidentally sent them to a random assortment of houses around him a lot of these are great because it's the exact type of thing where the more you deny it the more guilty you look so some of these will inevitably be hand-delivered to his mailbox by his neighbors who spot the air and he'll always be second-guessing just how many more there were and who's silently judging him in the neighborhood pop now I want to mention we counted good people out in the world too who are trying to actually keep our boxes from being stolen for example this woman did that but even still the package was stolen just thirty minutes later by a professional porch pirate who knew exactly how to cover up her face but then we said hold up roll that tape back unbelievably she has the same body type and owns the exact same shoes and pants as that Good Samaritan so we turned the footage over to the police to see if they two could appreciate the coincidence and it just goes to show you that your conception of who a porch pirate is might be totally off I'm just kidding this was a super nice lady who took the package in for her neighbor but it got us thinking and instead of just always punishing the bad guys we wanted to try and reward the good guys so in some cases we left it by an apartment mailbox and we changed the label to a real name and left tons of contact information like phone number and email all over the label and quite a few people took the package back to their house but instead of opening it called to tell us they had her package because they were worried someone else would take it and so instead of glitter and fart spray I gave them $400 because that was the opportunity cost for them when they made the right choice thank you for being one of the good ones then others however didn't make the call [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] [Music] while they recorded this the court [Music] this is gonna get finished mouth okay sound is one of my favorite physics topics to discuss because it becomes so much easier to understand if you just have the right mental model the key is to understand that the air all around us is a fluid like water just weight less than asked for example you can see the loud sound waves coming from the revolver will cancel each other out and the sound is much quieter than if only one of the speaker's was on this is the principle behind how they achieve noise cancelling like in the headphone 700 here okay check okay guys you can talk about it yeah I think this fake I think it's fake nice casting execute maybe not all of it maybe not all the instances but at least a big majority of it dude guys they're just inconsistencies dude like sometimes the guys okay guys sometimes they they film their heads right and sometimes they blow them out but why would they blow them out just is there like is there like a legal limit or like a legal line right why would they do like some blurred some nuts that would mean that the guys that they did put their face on it they asked for their consent right I genuinely thought we were guessing who the real couple was because they all seemed as if they hate each other is it about this indictment isn't it girl like a legal gray area where like the [ __ ] PPT did it smiley face you're not did you're not recording them did it they took an item that records from your poverty and they you liked it right I don't get it I don't get that they stole it it wasn't meant for their consumption if they consume it wrongfully that's their [ __ ] fault yo that one mean you can distribute oh you should do you should be able to do what the [ __ ] you want with it what's but the camera is inside their house no you know what that my point though they they purposefully brought a camera that is recording it periodically from a play that is in somebody else's house in Maya in their house if I walk up okay and I go to a shop that it's filling inside their shop and I crush their [ __ ] security camera and I film my house how is that their fault what they're uploading its I'm so confused okay based on this only saying every security footage online is illegal okay I'm confusing you guys okay there's inconsistencies already other saying I'm isolating issues so we can understand it okay next video wrap it up okay what I'm asking you I want to educate every don't want to girls go to Melvin
