>> Mm
>> You know in the movies how there's a fire,
and there's monsters closing in, and one of our heroes
grabs a torch out of the flame. >> Yeah and they swing it
around at them right.
>> Yeah yeah
>> Lies, all of that lies.
Because the moment you pull it out,
you got a little flame, you're like
"haha get ready", and then [swoosh] it goes out
and you got a stick that's hot and glowing,
and also your head's been eaten off by a monster.
>> Yeah monsters aren't afraid of hot sticks.
>> Yeah only fire, fire is their peanuts.
Hot sticks are their SunButters.
>> Where does the EpiPen come into this?
I'm picturing a Dracula with an EpiPen.
>> The EpiPen is filled with nano bots,
and it makes them immune
so there's one day walker,
who's able to--add it to the list >> Hang on.
>> So we got to learn about nanobots
>> Day walkers.
>> Okay.
[static]
>> All right so our goal is to as generously at possible
try to figure out the real life way that you
would be able to do what they do in all the movies.
Walk around with a torch that doesn't immediately
snuff itself out.
>> Right right, so you can't just have a stick
although we do have sticks.
You're also going to need a wick,
and this is something that you're very familiar with.
We're halfway there making the torches from
the fire eating episode.
>> I've never done this before, but this is sort of
like the inverse of what I normally do with the fire eating.
Because what I want is a highly volatile fluid
that makes it so I can do all the vapor tricks.
In this case we don't want something
that's going to burn really fast, like a naphtha,
or like a benzene, or an acetone, or something like that.
We want something that's going to burn slow,
more like diesel fuel, but I guess this is what?
A type of bio diesel?
>> Yeah I actually had bacon grease,
I had Guy Fieri urinate into a coffee can,
and it was just bacon grease.
>> Just through a strainer.
>> And he was happy to do it
He was like here you go.
>> Now I once have made a bacon grease candle,
and it looked great, it worked great.
Hoo boy the smell, so buckle up for that.
>> Delicious >> Get ready
>> Delicious >> Okay
I'm going to guess that all of the fundamentals
are the same as when we made fire eating torches
right? >> Absolutely
We've got some shirts right there,
we can start making our wicks.
>> Yeah we happen to have shirts with
one hundred percent cotton in them.
>> What would you do out in the woods,
just some kind of wicking stuff?
I guess you could do leaves or various [mumbles].
>> You could also use certain barks,
it depends on the type of tree of course
that you could peel away and warp them around your stick.
Those would help, in an emergency situation
out in the woods, stripping off a piece of clothing
is going to be your best bet.
>> Yeah, and I'm going to guess it's hard to find many
places where you can't some trash or detritus,
that would be similar.
Something that would have a lot of texture to it,
so that you could maximize the surface area.
Something that would soak in the fuel like a sponge.
And I guess what, is that it?
Did we just do it?
I don't know, how much of this do we want to do?
>> Um.
>> Let's do a small one at first
>> I think so, yeah
We've got cotton twine here, but I'm betting
we could just wrap it around and tie it off right?
>> That's what I was thinking, I got the twine
just in case
>> Yeah
>> But I don't even know that that will be
entirely necessary.
Now, I would imagine you want something
like really broad right?
>> If you want lots of light, yeah.
>> Were you thinking more of a Q-tip type thing?
>> Well that's normally what I would do,
because that's going to be the bigger reservoir
of in this case the bacon grease or whatever.
So if I just tied this off, what'll happen is the light
will be smaller, but more of the fuel will be inside
waiting to be burned.
Instead of if there's lots of surface area,
you'll get a brighter flame, but it's going to burn
through the fuel fast.
So we should point out that bacon grease at
room temperature tends to coagulate.
>> Yeah it starts to congeal, you can render fat
from really any animal meat out in the wild.
You just cook it on a low heat.
In this case, just made a bunch of bacon,
and ultimately leaves behind a whole bunch of grease.
>> Right. >> That's all you need.
>> We just have it warmed up, a little bit over
a hundred degrees right here.
>> Yeah, other alternatives you can use like
pine sap or pitch or something like that.
>> Not a lot of pine trees around here so
animal fat I thought was our best bet,
and smelled the best.
>> Uh, it really doesn't.
I think you're in for a rude awakening
for what happens when we set this alight.
So here's what I'm doing now,
I'm just grabbing instead of trying to make a nice
string of this, I have one long string
of cotton that I'm going to use to tie everything off.
And then these, I'm just going to use to sort of
create the sponge underneath that's going to hold on
to all of that bacon fat hopefully.
>> Okay.
>> So there's this, and then at this point
this is left dangling, but then I'm just going to
keep on going, and then this guy's job is to
really seal everything in.
I don't want to go much bigger than this
for fear of overdoing it, but there.
I'm just going to tie this off.
>> I'm just going to, maybe I'll use twine for mine?
>> Okay yeah go for it.
>> So I've got a reasonably thin strip here.
They always do it so quickly in the movies too.
>> Well and again movies have their own languages.
It's like nobody wants to actually sit there
and watch fifteen minutes as they construct it.
So I understand for brevity's sake,
that you would be all like "Uh anyway, they made a torch."
Just imagine that part. >> Rip the shirt,
wrap it around the stick, torch let's go.
>> Right exactly
Yeah, I think this is going to work out A-okay over here.
I guess do we do like a safety thing
and remind everybody, hey don't be dumb
we got fire extinguishers, we got water,
we got damp cloths to put this stuff out.
Like begin with the ending in mind.
Are we just going to go for it?
>> You want to just, oh I guess so.
Do you have a lighter?
>> I do, I do.
>> Okay. >> Yeah.
Okay so, I think we're going to use this up
very fast.
>> Yeah
>> Um.
>> We've got about half a can in there.
>> Also grease fires, no joke dude.
Do not throw water on a grease fire.
>> Nearly burned down my apartment one time
with a grease fire. >> Did you?
Oh my god I totally believe it.
>> Yeah.
>> Dip that down in there, and get the top part
really soaked, and then just immediately
there you go. >> Yeah.
>> Let it sort of soak its way down.
Oo that's another thing, that flaming stuff
will drip onto your body.
So.
>> So careful how you hold your torch.
>> Yeah.
You don't want that, okay.
>> Let's do it!
>> All right.
Uh.
>> Huh.
So we talked about in the fire eating episodes,
how there's a flash point for various hydrocarbons.
So in this case, it looks like bacon grease
has a higher flash point than you would expect.
So we actually have to warm up.
Oh look at that, that's dripping all over,
here I'm going to do this underneath.
Yeah, wow.
>> Word of caution then.
>> Yeah, so in this case we're actually
having to burn some of the wick to get it to work.
I don't think I'm keeping very many monsters
away with this.
>> Yeah, mines not even lighting from yours.
>> It's getting better, you can see it's warming up.
>> There we go.
>> Well and then, again you want to kind of keep this goin.
I just don't know how good bacon grease is as a fuel.
Although I will say it's burning slower than I feared.
Let's keep it together so at least we're
increasing the heat.
>> I don't know what you where talking about
when you said this smelled bad.
>> This doesn't actually, I think you have better bacon
than I get.
Oh look at that.
>> I think it's happening.
>> Yeah I think it is.
Okay, so it takes a little while.
So what's happening is we've got the fuel,
it has to get hot enough that we're past the flash point,
where the fuel wants to burn.
Dude I got to tell you what, I'm ready to explore a cave.
>> Yeah!
>> By the way, on TV they're always just using kerosene,
or camp fuel, or some kind of you know,
refined hydrocarbon.
>> Which is a totally reasonable alternative,
but if you don't have that.
>> Yeah.
>> And you've maybe shot a deer out in the middle of nowhere,
and you need a torch.
Render that fat, turn it into a little oily grease.
>> Dude it's working.
Should we turn off the lights?
>> I think we should.
[laughing]
[thunder booming]
>> It's quiet.
That was your line to say, "Too quiet."
I guess you have your gun.
>> My gun does my speaking for me.
>> Ah no, but they fuel on bullets!
They eat bullets.
We got to end with a Predator roar right?
>> Yeah.
You want a weapon? >> Yeah
>> The other hand, you get to hold Lucile
>> We're taking on the night monsters,
the night terrors.
>> I'm going to hold Groknar.
Groknar's Revenge. >> Yeah.
Here we go, we issue our challenge.
Ready?
Three, two, one.
[roaring]
>> It feels good with a torch.
>> Yeah they don't seem impressed though,
but I'm really shocked at how long they're lasting.
>> That's working quite well.
>> Yeah I guess this is my fire eating instincts kicking in,
Where I expect it to,
okay see this is. >> Ah
>> Now it's happening.
So here's where it's going to get dangerous.
The fuel is not so much burning, as the T-shirt now,
and the T-shirt is going to burn itself through,
and unravel, and become increasingly dangerous.
>> So the longer you want it to last,
the more you soak the bacon grease in.
>> That's correct, and of course,
and I think that's why you want a big fat reservoir of that,
and you need to tie it off repeatedly, because
in your case what's going to happen next.
>> That twine's going to snap
>> That twine's going to burn off,
and this is going to unravel.
>> Completely unravel and then it'll be dangerous.
>> Yeah so I would say on a second do of this,
we would tie it over and over and over again.
So that even as it burns and falls off,
it continues to stay knit and safe.
>> But this is an effective torch.
>> Yeah dude.
>> This would last us a while.
>> Longer than I thought,
I can't believe it's still going right now.
And it didn't smell anywhere near as bad as it did.
>> Look at mine, that's about where the bacon grease stopped.
>> Oh that's right, if it was burning the T-shirt
it would move on down from there.
>> And it will of course before too long,
because I didn't soak it too much but, yeah.
>> This is astonishingly effective, so how long
maybe what, fifteen, twenty minutes tops?
>> Uh yeah, I would say so.
Put some more bacon grease on there,
we could probably get.
>> Yeah I would say just basically,
bigger wick, you can get maybe up to an hour on there.
>> Just really sponging it.
>> Wow, that's awesome.
Okay let's see if I can do a fire eating trick.
>> Okay.
>> Nope.
>> Come on Brian. >> Nope.
>> Everybody knows that the students are past the master.
[laughing]
>> No no no no no no no.
This is the part where I end the episode.
[laughs]
Whoa cool.
Is it time?
Do we get to do the thing?
>> I think it's time!
>> Big Christmas Christmas Christmas.
Past Brian, ordered some stuff,
I have no idea what past Brian did.
>> Oh
It's like a little surprise, from past you
to future you.
>> I do remember.
I finally updated my hoodie game, aw.
>> JASON: Nice
>> My wife literally, just the other day was like
"So about that old hoodie you've been wearing?"
And I was like "Is it?"
And she's like "It is."
>> The one you found by the train tracks?
That still had the person in it?
>> It didn't start off that way, it just you know,
got that way.
>> Nice
>> Do I look rugged, outdoorsy?
>> Uh, you do.
You look complementary to the fire,
it's almost like we planned this
>> Oh there we go.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah? >> That's good.
>> What did you get?
>> I can't try mine on, but I got a couple of pairs
of these pants, and I can wear them as high as I want.
[laughing]
They got some elastic in them.
But here's the thing though,
this is CEO on the go pants man.
You're going to see me at Starbucks,
and I'm going to step out and make a call.
Then I'll hop into my Tesla,
and I'll go be important somewhere else.
So I got two pairs of those,
and also some boxer briefs.
>> So I got T-shirts because, I'm increasingly
wearing over shirts, and I just sometimes need
a simple blank design,
and the Mack Weldon T-shirts work really well for that.
>> Everything, it really is just kind of a simple,
stylish design.
Unless you want to get some of these,
quasi military camouflage socks,
that look like maybe I've been going on
a mission in Eastern Europe.
>> I mean to be honest as you said that,
the smoke surrounded you as if
you were in the battlefield
and you're ready to CEO the hell out of it.
>> Yeah, this looks, this is combat CEO now.

>> Oh I was looking at the camera,
I'll look at the left.
