  1. E1. Hovercraft Grand Prix

    Jan 13, 2014 · 22m

    Seth presents a theory that is commonly debated: Is it really possible for bacteria from a flushing toilet to reach a toothbrush sitting on a bathroom counter 6 feet away? Our experiment puts the urban legend to rest once and for all (hint: the results are disturbing). Later, Tom challenges Seth and Michael to test a theory that is easier said than done: Will any of them be able to achieve the seemingly simple charge of eating six saltine crackers in a minute or less without a sip of water?

  2. E2. Crushed by a Truck

    Jan 13, 2014 · 22m

    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. E3. Shrimp on a Treadmill

    Jan 20, 2014 · 22m

    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. E4. Proof is in the Pudding

    Jan 20, 2014 · 22m

    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. E5. Mad Bulls See Red

    Jan 27, 2014 · 22m

    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. E6. Eyelash Monsters

    Jan 27, 2014 · 22m

    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.
