See you keep keeping your finger in there, and it's way less exciting.
But it looks realistic though,.
Because it's really your finger.
Here you got to
like
Woah, how did you do that? Ha ha ha
There it is, there it is. *Brian making noises*
All right, what are we doing again?
Spies put stuff in fake rocks.
Alright , last time we messed around with dead drops. We did the dead drop spike.
Alright, I got that sealed up pretty good and we'll put our spike in right...
here
Which is a great, low-profile way to get information out...
but it's so tiny; it's got that slim profile
You might not be able to get something that matters like a like a hard drive or something
Yeah, we could have maybe fit a MicroSD card in there, but not a full SD card
Maybe a thumb drive. We actually just put a little slip of paper in there.
Right.
But one of the key things with dead drops is hiding something out in the open.
Yeah. Camouflage is a huge aspect to a proper dead drop. So in this case
We're gonna make a dead drop that is socially invisible, but that will have a much larger payload in there, right?
Yeah, something you can keep like back in the old days a floppy disk you know or a CD or whatever.
Or a hard drive. Certainly a full desktop hard drive nowadays.
Yeah. You want to be able to keep it in the open where people wont...
Oh. Really?
Come on. Really? Come on! That's the payload? Come on!
Fireball? The nastiest of the. This is just like sugar!
Look, man. You're out on a run.
It would be one of these and one of a pack of cigarettes, and then you do it out on the trail
So you're out running look at me. I'm healthy you
*Noises*
Pick up a rock.
You could hide all sorts of stuff,
But the trick is keep it out in the open where everyone could see it, but they don't think anything of it, right?
Yes, yes. With the dead drop spike
We were hiding that in the ground and all you could really look for was the leather thong which as you know was
Difficult to find all right look for the chalk mark
And then find that. But if you did happen to see it, which again, unlikely
There's no questioning like that's weird. There's something about that. There was very little camouflage to it whereas what we're doing
now is something that could theoretically stay right out in the open for
weeks and months.
Yes, exactly, and be reusable and be like a common spot for spies to exchange
Goods and information. Now as I understand that these aren't used as prevalently as they were in the 80s, but they're still around. Okay.
So we're gonna make a rock. When we did the TV show we pointed out that you could buy these
Fake key rocks and keep your key near the door.
That's probably not a good security idea, but if you want to put something I would say away from your property something
That's a true dead drop
I think this will work out really well
Yeah, everyone knows the trick of the fake rock and your house key under that so don't do that
All right, so what's the overview, okay?
The idea is that we're going to take some sort of container, right?
And we're going to put gap filler on it now. This is the expanding foam
It's a sealant for like cracks in the side of your house or something like that
So it's like maybe you've got a hole cut out for your stovepipe to go up
And then you've got little gaps on the edges. This is a stuff used to fill it up
I use some of the other day where there was clearly like a raccoon trying to get into my house and
Pulling away the board on - they're minochs(?). Chewing on the power cables. Yeah
Yeah, there was a little crack in there
And I was like okay to make sure he doesn't get in they just sprayed some of this foam sealant
This is gonna be our shape. Okay, so for the shape
Is there anything we have to keep in mind to make it particularly rock like while we're doing it or do
We just glob it all over?
I think we're gonna glob it over and that's when we have the gloves so we can just kind of shape it. Okay here
I'm Gonna make mine
Form-fitting to my payload here. I guess I could just wrap it all the way up, right?
And then just rip it all out.
You want to do it form fitting like that?
I'd like to have like a little box to put it in. I guess I could pour
The Fireball in here? Well, you could have a different Payload
Oh sure
Yeah, yeah
I don't have to have the fireball. In fact here what why don't you make one for a deck of cards.
Okay. That'll be the cigarettes.
Perfect. I love how it's like no
It can't actually be a deck of cards
It has to be some sort of.
I tried to think of anything vice-like.
Yeah, I don't know. You know what I'm gonna use this actually.
Yeah, that's perfect.
Okay, this is gonna be the base for our shape. Okay. I don't know how well yours is gonna work right? Well here?
I'm Gonna put this on this one
yeah, you see some more of that you got it. This gap filler is non-toxic right there's not like. Well, agree to disagree
I wouldn't drink it I'm guessing.
This is probably super unsafe you can get this at any hardware store. Contains MDI monomer polyurethane resin? Yeah, whatever.
It's fine.
Okay, so what do we do? We just start going nuts? Uhh, sure I guess. *Noises* Hey, not like that
That's fine. You just smooth it out or whatever
It dries really quickly, so you're gonna
There you go well it's gotta be like this looks like whipped cream.
Dog Doo.
It does look pretty poop-like, right? Yeah, this is not super. You're not real encouraged?
Well
I
I kind of want to touch it. Should I? Can I touch it to try to make it more rock-like? Yeah.
Sure, why not do it? Shape it. Mold it. Get in there! It's falling apart, falling apart! Here y-you hit. Boy
Yeah, you don't want to touch this. You don't?
I just destroyed all this. Mine's garbage. I just ruined it all.
There's no way
This is gonna look right. I'm gonna let this one dry. Yeah. As is and then shape it. Okay. I'm gonna just
Bail on this guy.
Yeah? Entirely? But you still got the whiskey in there!
Look, the whiskey will find its way out. I'm not worried about that. Give me the other whiskey in the meantime
Fine. I'm gonna leave this a little bit looser so that it kind of just fits right in there, okay.
So same, same game. See how do I make it not look like a cow pie?
I think we're just gonna have to like shape it afterwards.
*Squirting noises*
Right? Yeah.
*Squirting noises*
That. I'm believing that in a way that I didn't think I would. Yeah.
So this should be drying and expanding pretty quickly right? That's the whole point that you're not gonna
Have to wait 24 hours for it too harden. See, already yours was now looking like a lemon meringue
Instead of a dog doo. Yeah, do we have like a hairdryer or anything? Oh yeah, oh sure. Yeah, let's do this.
*Hairdryer sounds*
Oh woah. Woah!
It's alive!
*Hairdryer sounds*
Oota-Goota Solo!
Hahahaha!
*Weird words*
*More weird words* Yeah, we might have to give this a little bit of time
Yeah, we got it in there pretty heavy, so it's probably gonna take longer than usual to dry
Well you want to just press pause on this we'll come back to it. Yeah
We can do that. Because I don't think that's helping what you're doing it? Yeah, you're probably right
That's the whole point. That you're not going to have to wait 24 hours *echoing*
*Music playing*
They're dry. Yeah, we gave them a full night, however you pointed out that I guess one of these is kind of goopy?
It's a little gooey. Okay, here's what I'm afraid of. That's one of the ones that you made that has the Fireball in there
What if the expanding foam?
Crushed it and the Fireball leaked out
You dumb, son of a *beep*
That'd be a real waste of Fireball. Ew, its gross!
See you know yours is all moist. It, okay, so let's go. Alright, alright. Let's bust them open.
The foil. Right, you probably wanna, as much as you're able, not get the ripped off foil on there. which
Okay, now the foil doesn't really matter because most of its gonna be sticking to the bottom and you're not gonna be seeing the bottom. But
You don't want to paint it, and then have it something that could peel off. Oh sure
Wow.
I'm gonna guess I should get a razor blade and cut this out. Huh.
Oh, that was fast.
I always have one on me. Yeah yours looks like a terrible mess
I had this on my head.
*Brian laughing*
Oh.
I can't believe I'm doing all this to hide a Fireball.
I'm actually pulling it away from the lip of the bowl so I can put the lid on it
Oh, you didn't have the lid on to begin with? No.
Oh, I was afraid I wasn't gonna be able to get the lid off. Well in your defense
I think that this would have deformed it and just popped the lid off. Yeah, probably. Here we go, here we go.
Feel like an archaeologist.
Man, I hope it smashed that.
Ohhh!
God dammit! God dammit! God dammit! Day since injury. *beep* you! Zero!
Zero!
All right like I'm just gonna pull all this out. The lid doesn't fit completely on there. Dude, that's great!
But it's pretty good.
I think my bowl is just distorted enough
To keep the lid from going on completely flush. Got to get it nestled down in the dirt
Because its sticking up a little bit.
It is a little bit bulbous on there.
Yours looks like a brain. I know, I know. I'm gonna take the lid off for now. I'm gonna start sanding mine
Yeah, give it a better texture. As soon as I get this Fireball out I'm gonna drink it to make this snakebite go away.
I mean at some point, we're gonna be at a convention and somebody's gotta go
Up like that's a bit right, you don't really injure your hands that much. And then they're gonna shake hands with you
And you're gonna feel a bone break
*Laughing* Ahhhh!
*Sanding noises*
Well, that's not working very well at all. Yeah, what are you, what are you doing?
Just trying to get it to look less like a brain and more like a rock. Okay, at what point are we?
Deviating from an official recipe of some variety. Oh, I don't know I heard this was possible and decided we can do it
*Laughing* Welcome to The Modern Rogue!
That always works out really well right? Oh hey, I think I've stopped bleeding. Nope!
*Sanding noises*
Plus I bet if we're sanding it. It's gonna take the paint a lot better
Oh, ladies and gentlemen! Bill Duran seems to have shown up here!
I don't know if you saw that episode. A lot of rogues about right? Utilizing the knowledge that we've accumulated
One of the other methods uses florist foam to make these
these blocks.
I bet that would work better in fact we've got a block of the florist foam just to experiment you want to see what that looks
Like sanding that down? Not really.
Yeah, I didn't either. I guess we could if you want.
I thought that was a dumb idea when I said it. I was just testing you
I just wanted to know if you'd fall for it but. But no I mean if they usually shape the florist foam up like razor
blades and stuff rather than sanding it. Like cutting it into a thing I
I don't know this is helping at all. Oh actually I think that looks pretty good. Yeah?
Yeah, these glips and gloops, if you're trying to make a brain
I think will look good, but what you want our kind of faux angles, so what I would do is
I would carve out drops. Oh yeah, like let yourself
Like that seems more Rock-like to me. Sure.
Right? And so and then you can
You could get a sharp angle on there that sort of seems straight like that. Yeah, that's what I okay. That's good
That's good there for a second. I was afraid he's much too sabotage
My gloop. *Laughing*
Here can you check on this one see if see if you can dig it out easier?
You know this is probably just like pure cancer. Unlike the alcohol and cigarettes we're planning to hide.
Hey look at that.
I retrieved the fireball
All right there we go. So this looks like that
Nestles in there nicely that's good. That's good, and then this just stays like a rock oh
Well that went much faster on this one. Yeah, I think the reason this one was so messed up
There's the one that I gooped up on my hands
I'm gonna make this all even by getting rid of the bulbees.
How far off do you think I am?
You got a ways. That's still looking pretty goofy. You want to try to salvage something out of that one?
Try going in a different direction.
At this point. I'm sort of just going through and creating camouflage
I don't know troughs basically sure where it's like you can just kind of cover it
In these little sawed things it ends up looking all chipped about like I would imagine a rock should.
Haven't been outside. Have you ever seen a rock? I try not to go outside
Yeah
Troughs are the way! The one true way is through the trough.
Yours doesn't look good at all. We'll see it's looking that's looking pretty rocky to me. That's like Rocky Balboa. Look at that.
Meteorite. It looks a meteorite-y.
Maybe we just have very different ideas about what rocks are.
Okay, all right. I'm calling it. I I think our shapes are close enough. We gotta paint, we gotta paint!
Yeah, let's go. Let's go. Are you doing in here or out in the garage? Right in here.
That's actually pretty good
Can use more troughs.
I have two different colors of
Stone flavored paint here. I'm taking this one. Just spray it I guess
Remembering what we learned with Bill Duran
You know to try to keep it real smooth do the swipey. Don't goop it, swipe it.
Like that right? Yeah, yeah
oh
Yeah, you feelin it. Well. I'm worried that I'm melting it because remember the styrofoam in the acetone
I just think about that. I wonder if I'm melting this
smells really good
In this non-ventilated warehouse gonna be it's gonna be a great episode. looks like you're just putting a dusting of cinnamon on it
It does look delicious, not gonna lie
I'm gonna wait for another coat on this your turn, sir
God dammit! *Laughing*
The worst part is it's probably gonna look just as good
By the time we're done.
You're blasting off the... I know. This is kinda not working.
You can hear you can listen listen. Shh. Snap crackle pop. Oh
Yeah, it might
You think it's actually melting it? Singing to us. I've made an error because where I was tearing stuff off now
You can really see the porosity, but to be honest
I think that's gonna make it look more rock like weirdly is it more liberating that we don't have a professional with us
Yeah, totally yeah. He was holding this back Bill was cramping our style. Yeah our style being
making garbage.
Stabbing our hands and making terrible stones, all right
Didn't even hit
You scared it though. Think you freaked it out.
The warning shot. The Limestone texture is the same color
Although it actually does look more limestoney. Are you doing that same thing where you're putting enough on there that is starting to melt?
No
Okay, yeah, see that looks better actually
Okay, alright.
I'll trust you.
Don't know. I think there's something to this one like I'm gonna say like as a base coat of that dark stuff
Let's see what happens if we kind of give it a coat of the lighter stuff over top, okay?
I bet much like. I was gonna do a little bit of a darker over this okay, so this will be a good experiment
I suspect that lighter over the dark will work better because it'll Darken the stuff in the gaps, but look like lime stones
I'll be damned
if this one doesn't look like an actual
piece of Volcanic Rock like cuz
Limestone is porous and so all the pore stuff kind of makes sense. The only parts of this that I really don't like are the
Ones that definitely look like just glue carved out, so I'm gonna try cutting off a couple of these yeah, I
tore off most of those on mine.
Think that one's actually looking pretty good
Dude, I think I think you've got to shoot from way far out. I think the farther out the better
We should probably should of read the instructions. We should probably open a window
Consider, we're Gonna need to like put some actual dirt on them and stuff like that
Oh, yeah, take him out to the little field back here
Yeah, where you can run and play with all the other rocks. Yeah, I don't know about you
I'm feeling like this guy's got it. Really?
Mean maybe. That one's the worst one!
I don't know! This guy
Looks good to me. I don't understand how you can say that's the worst one that looks like a real rock
It looks like something from a star wars Tatooine playset. Okay, wait. What is this that is a doughy meatball?
Are you sure you're done with that one? That's that's the that's your you. I feel like the teacher. Like is this your best effort?
Here you know what you guys you get the darker. Let's leave this the top the same okay, but maybe maybe dust up the bottom
These look like rocks. They look like rocks. That was the idea you're welcome
I think weirdly the one that we both ruined is gonna be the most realistic. We we both ruined. Yeah, yeah mines garbage
I just ruined it all. You ruined it. I fixed it, and it's the best one
It's still it's still got a while to dry. I have an idea to speed-dry these
Hairdryer?
This is gonna be some stupid, half-baked harebrained idea. Swear to God
Well, that's overkill. Is it? Yeah.
Get ready.
Right? Sure.
*Laughing* Right, right?
I'm Gonna wash my hands of this episode? Yes
*Laughing*
Dude, I'm gonna call it. No matter. How bad you are at arts and crafts. It's gonna look just fine once
It's actually in the environment
I was getting kind of skeptical, but yeah
You got to find the right terrain that matches what you made and you're good to go. Yeah, no lie
I definitely placed one of these down and then stepped on it thinking it was one of the real rocks
Do you want to point out to the viewers where it is? Oh, no no no no no. Cause I don't think we should.
No, I in fact in fact everybody in the comments see if you guys could spot which are the fake rocks! High-five high-five
Let's have some fireball oh
Just two grown men drinking in a parking lot
Cheers
Do you have any music videos you want to shoot?
Grilled cheeese. Cause I'm a Modern Rogue!
