>> This episode is brought to you by Audible.
>> Head on over to audible.com/rogue, that's R-O-G-U-E,
you can get a 30 day trial, plus a free book,
or text to 500-500 the word rogue.
That's another thing, when you're in prison,
make sure to use a infrared thermal imager.
>> Yeah, whatever your PX,
I don't know what they call it there.
>> Oh your commissary?
>> Yeah your commissary.
>> It's like, I'll have the ramen noodles,
I'll have the beef stew,
and I'll have the Milwaukee brand thermal imager. [laughs]
>> That's right, prison's just like a weird Luby's basically.
[Brain laughs]
I'll have the Luanne platter, the thermal imager.
[chill hip hop beat]
>> Computer Voice: Cooking an egg with a light bulb.
>> We're going to try to basically replicate an Easy Bake oven.
That's essentially what we're doing,
a prison Easy Bake oven.
>> Is this one you found online, or is this apocryphal?
>> This is one that was anecdotal,
a guy who was on death row
mentioned it in his autobiography.
It said that you could cook things,
using 100 watt bulb and a Coke can.
The work light here, this is one that we grabbed
just because it was available to us.
But you're going to,
I guess have like a lamp or something like that?
>> BRIAN: Yeah I would imagine lamps are allowed in prison.
>> You're going to need one of these incandescent bulbs,
rather than like the LEDs that are all popular now.
>> Yeah well, the LEDs give light and not heat,
that's their whole gimmick
is that they don't waste energy on heat.
>> Right, we want the inefficient bulbs.
>> Yeah I'm going to bet that, back in the day,
you would get yourself the brightest,
most wattage bulb you can get your hands on.
>> This one is an energy efficient one,
it's supposed to replace a 100 watt bulb,
but it's actually only using 72 watts,
so it is going to give off less heat.
Probably less heat than we need.
>> Let's just find out.
99, 112, 114, 121, it looks like it's leveling off.
[both laugh]
Warp 9.7!
9.8!
It looks like it's leveling off at around,
oh wow, it's up to 135 now, 140.
>> It's warm!
>> 100 watt bulb, this is going to take forever!
>> Yeah!
>> Okay let's try another one.
>> Want to do the 150?
>> I think that's this one.
Oh yeah, probably should've unplugged that. [chuckles]
Spirits are you there!
>> JASON: Let me get the Ouija board.
>> There we go, okay.
Man it's blinding, wow!
>> Much hotter?
>> 160, 170.
200!
>> I think we need a different show,
that's just you, carrying that gun.
>> [laughs] Being amazed by everything!
>> Yeah, just you're in a restaurant,
and you go over and you're like,
those fajitas are at 160 degrees by the way.
Oh wow!
>> 250!
>> Yeah so, oh considerably hotter!
>> Yeah, what were you thinking?
>> Much hotter, much hotter!
Okay do you want to try the 200?
>> Yes, but look at this, I'm going to unplug it first.
>> Okay, good call.
Hey, here's the cut-proof gloves.
>> Oh hey gloves!
>> We don't have like thermal gloves or anything.
>> Gloves, that's a cool trick.
>> 200.
All right, what's your guess
on the temperature on this one?
>> I'm going to go with 280.
>> BRIAN: Yeah.
>> Kelvin.
[Brian laughs]
>> Wait, below freezing?
>> Oh yeah, huh?
>> Or around freezing?
180, 190, 201, 300!
>> So are we going to stick with this one do you think?
>> Yeah I think so, it's 300, 300.
>> I don't know that prisoners would have access
to this bulb exactly, but these are cheaper!
>> You're in an older prison, with older equipment,
I can imagine you would get ahold of this.
>> Okay sure.
>> Here's the part that's hard for me to believe,
is do they let prisoners have cans?
It seems like this is shiv central right here.
We'll just say they do.
>> Yeah sure.
>> Or some other container.
Now I'm going to guess that no, you don't have boxcutters.
>> You're just cutting the top off of here.
In the anecdote a razor blade was used.
>> BRIAN: Really?
>> Yeah.
Razor blades pop up a lot in prison ingenuity,
so you got to think that
they either have access to them or can get them.
Cans like this freak me out.
>> Really?
>> They worry me.
>> Not when you have these gloves.
>> Not when you have the gloves.
>> Thank you Modern Rogue community.
>> Yeah so, I rinsed this out and everything.
This is really important.
We want to make sure that there is absolutely
no water on the outside of the can.
>> Because otherwise that'll explode,
we should wear safety goggles!
>> JASON: Yes.
>> Here's what I worry about, you ever cook an egg
and it sticks to the sides and everything?
>> Yeah.
>> Like, do we have any kind of
oil substitute we can put in there?
>> Hmm, we have some Elmer's glue.
I do have some baby oil.
>> Do you want to try just putting a thin veneer of baby oil?
>> Mineral oil, that'll make you poop.
>> BRIAN: It's child-proof.
Also Murphy-proof.
>> JASON: I did that wrong.
>> BRIAN: That's not, none of that was the tiniest of pokes,
because I just wanted a literal drop of it!
>> Yeah also, it's flammable.
>> BRIAN: You can see it's the baby oil burning,
and not the wick itself.
Do we put the egg in it first and then set it on?
>> I don't know the answer to that.
>> What I want to do is balance it,
get it really hot, crack an egg,
and have the egg go [sizzling].
I also feel like that almost certainly
will result in it falling over,
spilling over hot molten lava--
>> We are going to have to mind the can very closely.
>> You get some gloves!
See here. [laughs]
The egg broke the can!
>> Sure, yeah.
I'm saying you could do it over the--
>> BRIAN: No.
There we go, delish.
Heating up the oven sir!
All right, we're going to be like--
>> JASON: It's very bright.
>> BRIAN: Yeah.
Just want to leave it balanced?
Think that's dangerous?
>> JASON: Yeah probably.
>> Should we just look like
we're casting a spell at all times?
[Jason laughs]
We'll hold our hands up!
>> Illuminati confirmed!
[Brian laughs]
>> It is hot, it is really hot.
>> It's very hot!
Let's make sure not to bump the table too.
>> Yeah.
I'm worried about it exploding because it's haunted.
>> We did go to the haunted section of the hardware store,
which I was being a little reckless,
I said it's fine, it's fine.
>> We need the light bulb that was swinging
over a condemned prisoner as he was lethally injected.
>> And then that guy handed us the light bulb,
and we turned around to ask a question,
and he was gone!
[Brian laughs]
>> Yeah it's definitely whitening already.
Yeah you can see like the whole thing is clear,
and from the bottom layer up,
you can see that the very bottom-most layer is white,
and it's climbing.
>> We're getting somewhere!
>> I'm going to, this feels like it's probably not going to fall.
Nevermind, I take that back!
It says here 348.
>> What is going top down?
Oh it's only like 99, 104.
>> Wow yeah, so it's taking a while for the egg to warm up.
Oh you can hear it, listen.
[egg sizzling]
Sounds like a Geiger counter.
>> Yeah that doesn't sound safe at all.
>> It's a radioactive egg.
>> That sounds alarming.
>> Out comes the alien he's just, thanks dad!
And then attacks!
Here, I guess I can pick it up.
>> What are you doing?
>> I'm looking at it.
Dude this thing's almost done.
>> No! >> Yes.
>> Oh holy cow!
>> Yeah told ya.
So compare this to a gas grill,
now 350 degrees is what you would get in an oven,
so picture however long it would take
to bake an egg basically.
Whereas meanwhile, gas grill,
the natural gas has a hydrocarbon,
so that's going to burn at just under 2000 degrees Fahrenheit.
So on a gas grill you can get everything hot enough
you go [sizzling] and then you scramble,
and then you're done--
>> Immediately.
>> Okay right now, we are over soft.
>> Okay.
>> We don't have a plate, or a fork, or nothing do we?
>> Nah, it's just a can of eggs!
Haven't you ever had a can of eggs?
You just go to the convenience store,
it's right there next to the Red Bull.
Just a can of eggs.
This is going to be done pretty well.
No!
>> It fell, it fell, it was not a disaster!
It turns having it, oh that's, smell that.
>> That's an egg!
It needs more.
>> That makes me feel better, if it falls it just does that.
>> I happened to find around the warehouse.
>> BRIAN: Oh look at this!
>> Yeah!
>> I say we call it. >> All right!
>> Unplug the lamp!
All right.
>> Now lets see if it will come out.
>> Oop.
We're just going to, I'm going to take this,
I'm going to scoop it around the edges.
>> So much for your mineral oil,
your baby oil that you put in there.
>> Come on, come on!
You know what's funny is,
to get that out you could poke a hole
and then blow on it and it'll shoot out,
but right now it's a billion degrees.
>> Oh yeah.
>> BRIAN: Just scoop it all out.
>> JASON: Yeah!
>> BRIAN: There you go!
Look at that!
>> JASON: That is a legit cooked egg!
>> BRIAN: You want salt and pepper on there?
>> JASON: Absolutely!
>> Little bit of salt.
Little bit of pepper.
All right, taste test time!
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, got it!
>> I don't want the whole yolk!
>> All right, ready and go!
Dude that's great.
>> Dude I can taste that baby oil.
That's not good.
I can taste that baby oil and it's gross.
I mean, the egg part is sound,
that is a cooked egg, salted and peppered.
But I can taste the baby oil you put in there!
And it's, I'm spitting this out, it's gross.
>> Baby.
>> Verdict, you can cook an egg with a bulb.
Don't put baby oil in there, can you taste it?
>> Yeah, it's fine.
>> Ugh, it's not fine.
>> It's fine!
>> It's real gross.
>> I will say, otherwise you're going to be
peeling all that crust out,
I'll deal with a little baby oil taste.
>> Ah, can't handle it.
>> I give it 100 out of 100.
>> I can't believe that worked as well as it did.
>> All right Murphy, most of the year,
I'm spending my time on Audible improving myself,
I'm reading non-fiction books like Sapiens, or Homo Deus,
or The Righteous Mind I just finished.
But forget all that, it's October, I want scary stories!
I've got a pick, do you have a pick?
>> Oh of course I do!
Mine is, We Are Where the Nightmares Go
by C. Robert Cargill!
>> Wait I haven't read this yet!
And Cargill's a friend, I'm a bad friend!
>> It's very good!
This is an anthology of spooky stories,
and if you pay close attention,
you might recognize the name of a bar in one of the stories.
>> Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!
Is okay--
>> Don't spoil it!
But it has some creepy and weird stuff,
a lot of little, just bite sized stories
that'll get you through the spooky season.
>> I have a, according to the news,
a peripherally Cargill related story.
Have you read Lock and Key, the graphic novel?
>> Of course.
>> All right, okay, they did an audio presentation,
like a play, not quite a reading of the book,
because of course it's a comic book, yeah exactly.
But they did like a radio play of it
as an Audible Original production, and it's great!
I can't speak to what it's like to experience that
as your only way to experience Lock and Key,
because of course we had both read it before I heard it.
But as a way to revisit it?
Amazing.
I full on, crying my eyes out.
>> I have to check this out,
because Lock and Key is one of
the greatest comic book stories ever published, full stop.
>> Right full stop!

>> Yeah.
[Brian laughs]
>> You're like yeah, didn't leave me a lot of moves there bud!
It's a little bit of Mediterranean pizazz.
>> Mediterranean?
Because they put baby oil?
>> Sure.
[Jason laughs]
It's Corinthian!
>> It's Corinthian, it's an old family recipie.
The Brushwoods passed it down,
put a little baby oil on there, just a little pop.
