"Rogue", R-O-G-U-E spell it right!
Okay, so we've been kidnapped again.
>> Damn you TV's Pat Sajak!
[laughs]
He's been out for us man,
haven't you noticed that?
>> I want to see that puzzle.
>> [beep] you Pat Sajak man! >> Jesus Christ [laughs].
>> I've been telling you this.
You won't listen and now they're up here,
right up in our [beep] Brian!
>> TVs Pat Sajak. >> TVs Pat Sajak
is coming for us.
I'm going to go pee. [laughs]
>> All right Murphy, time to do a bit of legend testing.
One of these I've heard about forever
I've seen like one or two videos of it.
I just want to know if it works
or if it's as remotely as easy as everybody portrays it.
Say you're all zip tied up with your hands,
if you have para-cord laces,
the idea is you make a loop on one side,
loop on the other side.
You hook your feet in the stir ups.
You run it through and you just sort of saw
and then you, you melt your way through the zip ties
or the rope or the what have yous.
>> Okay, so like a little, just a friction saw,
just bicycle kicking as we >> Uh yeah.
>> Cut through.
>> And every time we start an episode off
talking about how easy something sounds it's never easy.
>> We're going to be here all day.
>> My prediction is, is that it requires a lot more
coordination than you expect.
>> You know how I coordinated I am though.
>> Ooh oooh, I really worry about you just getting
giant rope burns on this.
We're going to skip the parts
where you have to pull it off of your shoes
and I'll just set up a, what like a--
>> A bowline, do a bowline, can you do--.
>> Yeah, I don't remember how the bowline works.
There we go, yeah.
Here, ziptie you up >> Yep.
>> Here's the thing, if I make it as tight
I just feel like you're going to saw right
through your flesh.
>> Here, here's what you're supposed to do.
Try it that way.
>> I mean at that point you might as well just not even--
>> If someone is binding you, this is a good thing to do
keep your elbows apart give you a little bit more, see?
>> Oh, oh that's pretty good.
>> That's a little trick right?
>> Okay, all right >> Okay.
>> A life hack if you will.
>> If you will, a system that we have perhaps hacked
or in the process of hacking.
>> Don't know what you're talking about
that sounds like a completely independent property.
So at this point you've taken out--
>> This is para-cord 550.
>> You say 550 like I'm, anybody knows what that is.
>> I don't know what it is.
>> Like, what it was 475 para-cord no good?
You do this.
I made the hoops for you and everything.
>> Okay, try to get down it there where it won't come off
and then you want to loop it through if I can.
>> Oh god, I just feel like you're going to,
you're gon', for some reason I just think you're going to
saw saw and both your hands are going to fly off.
It's going to be the opening scene of The Boys
but this looks pretty good.
>> Should I lay down?
>> I don't know I think that would be the safest bet.
Oh there you go.
Little motions, is it burning you?
>> No, I'm fine.
Bam!
[slowed sound]
Mmmgh!
>> I feel like we just found the Sasquatch.
>> I feel like Pat Sajak can kiss my ass
that's what I feel like.
>> We just found an internet legend that really is
as easy as it looks.
>> You want to try it?
>> No you got bare feet.
>> Okay no, in no version of reality
do I want to look at Jason Murphy doing this
and saying do you want to try it.
[laughs]
I'm just going to salute the internet
because legend tested and this absolutely passes
so I would say get a para-cord 550 laces
whatever those are. >> Yeah man.
>> And then you can saw your way out of freaking zip ties.
>> That was super simple.
>> You want to try a rope?
>> Let's try rope.
Should I just do it regular,
you want to do it regular?
>> Yeah, I think that would be fairer.
>> All right. >> There we go.
And yes, before anyone asks
that's not how you would do it if you were a kidnapper.
>> Okay, so let's get our bowline,
got one end attached to my foot
and let's see if we can thread this through here.
This is-- >> I feel like you
want to attack this bottom side, right?
>> Yeah probably, I'm just trying to
>> Ohp, almost there, almost there.
[Snickers]
>> All right, put that down there.
>> Show me rope.
I'd like to buy a vowel Mr. Sajak.
>> I want to, so this will take longer right?
>> I guess, I don't know.
>> So it's not sawing your skin?
>> No, I'm fine.
[squeaking of para-cord saw]
>> Uh, uh.
>> Okay, let's see how--
I think it seems to be working
but we might want to actually do the bicycle thing.
>> Go for it.
>> But I might have to lay down.
>> I mean lay, if you're exhausted take a nap, go for it.
>> All right, let's do it.
God, I'm going to be filthy.
[laughs]
>> I mean I feel like you already were.
Oh my god, what's that sound?
Somebody's spinning a wheel.
Oh, oh my god it's time for the showcase showdown.
Oh, I hear somebody coming
I hear the sound of letters turning, Oh!
Oh. >> Oh, we cooked it.
>> Yeah, did we make any progress on the rope?
>> We did, we did.
>> All right so the lesson is
if you get tied up with zip ties,
use your para-cord shoelaces.
If they tie you up with para-cord shoelaces,
you use the rope, see?
>> I actually suspect that you were probably
pushing too much effort on there
and it just snapped.
I think if you took your time it would have worked.
But I would say, I would say super effective.
>> I think so, yeah, eat it Sajak.
>> Sajak, if you'd like to come on the show,
we'd love to have you.
>> Yeah, [claps] no!
>> Brian this is a true story.
>> I don't believe you already.
>> I know you don't have any reason to
but we have a mutual friend who is revamping
his website and he's making it way too hard.
>> Hold on is he doing the thing where he's like,
"Well I just really mean to it's just so complicated
"or whatever" >> Yes
>> That's my favorite thing is the smug superiority
that comes from saying like what are you doing?
>> Yes >> Just go to

I just used my feet like I'm a,
what is it like some sort of--
>> Man, I am so glad you didn't piston your legs.
[exhaust blows]
>> Is it going? >> Cameraman: Yep.
