- How smart is my solid white monitor lizard
and all my lizards?
I've got an idea.
But first we have to head to PetSmart.
So Mike, we're gonna head to PetSmart.
Can you do me a favor and grab Elvis?
(record scratch) (crickets chirping)
- Again?
- I think I got PTSD sitting back here.
- [Mike] Oh my God, he...
- [Bruce] Oh my God!
- [Brian] Okay. We're in trouble.
- [Mike] Oh no, I keep getting cut on my face.
(upbeat Latin music)
- This is what we need Brillo to do.
Get some electricity going.
- Yeah. Take that, Elon Musk.
So what I'm looking for
is one of those puzzle feeders where the animal actually
should figure out how to get to the food.
But I think our monitors are gonna do it.
- Get the ones you gotta shoot the ball through the holes.
- That's not...
That has nothing to do with what we're trying to do.
- Maybe we can get Elvis to pull the trigger.
- This is what I was looking for guys.
So basically they have to push stuff over.
They have to turn things.
Let's see if our monitors are smart enough
to actually do it.
You think they'll do it?
- I don't think I could do it.
(all chuckle)
- Can we get this Dad? Come on!
- No!
- Why not?
- We'll provide more electricity.
- Make it cheaper.
- Brian, can we get this life vest for Elvis?
- What for?
- So we can swim!
- But they already can swim.
- I don't know about you guys,
but that's a little creepy to me.
- What?
- Cut out dogs...
- Yeah. I mean, does it look like...
I mean, it's kind of cool.
- To keep the dogs away.
- Oh, come on. Can we just get it?
- Should have left these guys back at the shop.
- Let's just go home.
- Have a good one, guys.
- All right thanks, we'll see you next time.
See you. Bye.
- Can we go get ice cream now?
- Back to the shop.
(peppy tropical music)
- [Audio Clip] Surprise motherf-
- So we loaded up this food puzzle with a bunch of chicken.
Mike, you think that they're gonna actually be able to
move this over, turn this and get to the chicken?
- Oh, absolutely.
- So the first thing I'm gonna do is use the blue ball to
get him over so that he knows there's actually food coming.
So I gave him one little piece to know
that there's chicken here.
Now. Let's see if he actually can figure it out.
He knows there's some way to get to it.
Yeah, move it over buddy. There it is!
He's almost got it.
Can't quite get in there.
The hole's just a little too small.
He sees it.
He got a piece! Yes!
Now he's just gotta keep going.
Come on Elvie.
There's more there, buddy.
- [Mike] Oh. He's biting the knobs.
- [Brian] He's getting, he's almost there!
He's almost got the second one!
He's got the second one!
I think that in no time, he's gonna get this down.
This is the first time he's ever done
and he's already got two pieces
and see now he started to realize
he's gotta push things around.
- [Mike] Sees a magic chicken portal?
- Yeah. (all chuckle)
- [Brian] Oh, come on.
- (gasps) He just gripped that whole shell right there.
He's using his hands like we do.
- [Brian] There he is. He's got another one.
He's got another one!
- Ohh!
- That's the third piece.
- Let's go!
- [Mike] It's like one of those Christmas calendars.
Just he's giving-
- Yeah. The advent.
- [Brian] Yes! Look at that.
- [Noah] That was a quick move.
(Noah gasps)
- [Brian] He's got it.
- [All Three] Noooo! Ohh!
- [Noah] He just opened it with his hands! Oh my God.
- That was crazy!
- [Brian] Look at that! Look at how fast!
- [Noah] Ohhh! Ohhh!
No freaking way! (laughs incredulously)
- [Brian] This is sick.
- [Noah] Wow. That's awesome.
- [Brian] You got two pieces done.
Five so far.
- [Noah] Yeah. And that last one was money.
He knew exactly what to do.
You already got all the juice out, man.
(claw scraping over wood)
- [Brian] Look at that. He's moving it with-
- [Noah] Oh. Oh.
- [Brian] He literally moves it with his hand
and then gets to it.
He's gotta dig and...
He's just tryna get in there.
Okay. That's six of seven pieces.
This is crazy!
Look at that, he got the little chunk!
Oh, He's almost got it. Almost got it.
- [Noah] Oh, he's gonna get it.
- [Mike] Wrong hole. (chuckles)
- [Noah] Oh. Oh, he's gonna get it with this one. Oh!
- [Mike] He's covered it up.
- [Noah] He's kinda covering it up.
- [Brian] Get it Elvis.
Get it, get it!
- [Noah] Come on! There it is!
- [Brian] There it is, Elvis!
- [Noah] Yes!
- [Brian] He's got the last one!
- [Noah] Let's goooooo!
- [Brian] Seven for seven.
Tell me reptiles aren't smart!
What do you say we try toothless?
There we go.
- [Noah] All right.
- [Brian] That's his teaser piece.
Now it's up to him.
Oh, there he goes.
Now he's got it.
- [Noah] Go!
- [Brian] Now he's figuring it out.
- [Noah] Oh, he's trying to do two at once. Oh!
- [Brian] He got to one.
- [Noah] Oh!
- [Brian] Now he's getting it.
- [Noah] Get it boy!
(all three exclaim admiringly)
There's a lot in there.
- [Brian] Go back!
Oh, he's got another one.
- He's going for a new meal.
Gotta move it the other way, buddy.
Yeah. Get your hand...
Oh! He clawed the chicken out!
Wow.
Yeah. That was quick working.
- That's two and a half.
- Two and a half.
- I'm bad at counting.
- [Brian] That's quick work. Now we starting to understand,
"Okay. I'm gonna have to move something..."
"Use this hand a lot more..."
- [Noah] Oh, smacked that one open like it was nothing!
Smack that one open. There it is!
- [Brian] There's number three.
- [Noah] Bingo. Awesome.
- [Brian] He's realizing he's gotta move stuff around now.
Thinking.
(wood sliding on concrete)
He's got another piece.
- [Noah] Boom.
(Brian laughs)
Good job.
- There you go.
Boom.
- This is crazy.
We knew the monitors were smart
but to see them use their brain like that
he has literally got every piece
except for one last piece to go.
He is really on it.
You can see how he's moving things around purposely
trying to find the food.
This is crazy.
- [Noah] And just like that. Wow.
- [Brian] Oh, he got it.
- [Noah] Wow.
- [Mike] I think he's better than Elvis at this.
- [Brian] Yeah. It is more of Toothless' size though.
- [Mike] Get it, boy!
- [Brian] Got it. He found it! He found it!
- [Noah] Slide it!
- [All Three Men] Yeah!
- [Noah] Let's go!
- [Mike] That was awesome.
- [Brian] That was crazy.
I mean, Toothless crushed that puzzle.
- Bruce, are you ready to put some meat inside this ball?
- I'm always ready to put some meat in some balls.
- Me too, man. Let's get it.
It might not take him any time at all.
- [Noah] But that just goes to prove our point
that reptiles can be super smart.
That if you just give 'em the same puzzles over and over
it's just... (scoffs)
I think that was a little too easy.
We might have to put something else inside this ball.
So we got some eggs.
(tail whisks loudly)
- [Mike] Oh, oh, he kinda got freaked out a little bit.
Look at how cool his tail is when it curls up.
It's literally like a whip.
He's playing the puzzle ball.
See if he'll stick his head actually in there.
Oh, he is! He's trying to figure out the puzzle!
- I think he's actually gonna have to use his hands
if he actually wants to get these eggs out.
We'll see.
I think he's looking at Tyson like,
"Hey, I think that would be an easier meal."
- [Mike] Oh, whoa!
He got his snout in there pretty good.
- Come on buddy. You can do it. You can do it!
I know you want those eggs.
We might have went from too easy to too hard.
The chicken was so easy.
We decided to step up the level.
Eggs are looking a little difficult to get out.
I mean, they were hard to put in.
(laid-back hip hop music)
- [Mike] Dude, the teeth are crazy.
- They look like shark teeth and it's in a monitor.
All right. He's super smart.
And he deserves an egg because he tried really hard.
He just can't get them out.
(lizard chomps quietly)
(peppy Latin music)
- Next up is frosty the white monitor.
Let's see if it is.
Now you gotta remember he's just settling in.
So I'm not sure how he's gonna do.
He definitely came out for the teaser piece of chicken.
Now let's see if he'll actually find it in the puzzle.
Okay, guy-
He found it! found the first piece.
I wasn't sure if he was gonna do that.
And he moved a couple when he was just crawling over it.
So now I hope he's got it turned on.
His brain is gonna start thinking,
"This is amazing."
Hey, look we're already right back to it, right back to it.
- This is so much faster than toothless.
- [Brian] He got another one!
That's number two.
Oh, he's got three.
He just pushes that aside like nothin'!
It's just cool how they kind of immediately figure out that
if they move things around
there might be chicken underneath it.
It's crazy to see how quick they go
from like, not understanding to being like all over it
Right there.
Right, right there.
There, you got it?
Yes! All Right.
- [Noah] And how he moved this one too.
He moved this one too right at his feet.
- Oh, Did you see that?
Oh my gosh.
He just moved it over like nothin'.
There's only two more pieces to go.
One is exposed.
Well, it looks like that's it.
He got five pieces and I think he's full.
So he walked away.
But I didn't think that that was gonna go well.
He's only been in the country for less than a month
and he's already figured out this amazing puzzle.
That was awesome.
- Milk break.
[Audio Clip] Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!
- Milk?
- I would love milk.
All right. So.
Kong ball.
- Kong ball. What's inside?
- Two mice.
- Beetlejuice's favorite snack in the world.
Oh, he's got, he's got a sense on it.
Yeah. I don't think he needs to be teased.
(Beetlejuice tumbles awkwardly)
What the freak was that?
- [Noah] There's no way he can't smell that.
(tail whips loudly)
- Oh! Ow.
- Oh well now.
What was that?
Use your tongue, dummy.
I thought that you guys were supposed to be smart.
Oh, you can smell it.
Oh, that's my finger. No no no no...
Get it, beetle boy!
(clicks tongue) C'mon Beetlejuice.
- [Both Men] Ayyy! There it goes.
- [Noah] Pat him on his head.
- You hit me with your tail, we're done.
- So we've seen that the reptiles are super smart.
Brillo, I'm not 100% sure on, what do you think?
- He's ADHD. So I guess if he wants to put his mind to it
I think he can do it.
- C'mon Brillo. Come on over here.
- [Woman] He's just gonna break it.
- (laughing) Well so far, it's just, he seems to be...
Oh, he opened one up.
Okay. Now you're open 'em up.
You're opening it all up.
Now you guys just get to him.
Here you go.
- I don't know that that really counts
as figuring it out.
I think he's, exactly. He's like me.
He just bangs it hard and it opens up.
- It's funny cuz there's literally three of 'em wide open
and he's just like still playing around with it.
He's lost interest. And he's getting back home.
Okay. So he's come back now,
all sitting there, but he's not.
He's just so frustrated.
No, that's right there, Brillo!
- [Woman] (laughing) He wants to eat the peg!
- Brill...
It's like he understands it,
but he just can't quite figure it out.
He found one, he found one.
Okay. That's number two!
I mean, he's getting there.
I could honestly say, I didn't think that the lizards
were gonna be smarter than the Armadillo
but we still love Brillo.
He found another one.
All right, that's three
- Literally just sitting out in the open.
He's not finding it. (laughs)
- Yeah, because he's pashin' around, they're poppin' out.
- [Woman] Look at that tongue.
(both laugh)
He can get the next one.
- Oh, did he find another one? Or no, the same one?
- [Woman] Come on, Brills!
- [Brian] There you go. There you go. He found it!
He found it! Yes! He's starting to figure it out.
That's awesome.
The one thing I can say is I didn't think he'd
pay attention as long as he has to be very into...
Oh, he found another one!
He found another one.
I think he's starting to get it.
- I think he is figuring it out now.
- I think he started figure it out.
- Like "Hey, wait a second."
"If I move stuff, food's in here."
It took him a little while though.
- It did take him a little while.
I think he's starting to get it.
(both laughing)
- That doesn't even make any sense.
It's like a... (laughs)
- That's a crazy long tongue.
- [Woman] There, he got another one!
- Yes. He's only got one more to go.
Now he's really getting it.
He literally moves stuff outta the way to get to it.
So that's awesome.
(spectators laughing)
(peg rattling)
So close right there. Right there.
Oh, he got it.
He's got it.
He's got it. He's got it.
Or he can't get it.
He can't get it.
He's gotta go the other way with it.
You're so close buddy.
You got it.
So it looks like Brillo finally finished the puzzle
and speaking about finished,
this blog is finished.
