Oh, and do me a favor,
read the article that's in the pin thing down there.
[film rolling]
>> We did a TV show.
>> We did.
>> It was shown all over the world!
There's one single clip that was the most viral,
the most famous!
You have a fine half-ass.
[window shatters]
[static crackles]
All right, so we busted into a car
with an inflatable bag, with a Slim Jim,
and now, we get to recreate
the single-most popular,
viral clip from our TV show.
Why do you suppose that went nuts?
>> I've got a pretty good idea.
[Brian laughs]
>> Okay.
Besides your fabulous half man-ass!
>> Well, it was a very fast, it's very violent,
and it's very efficient.
And I think people were really surprised that,
with this tiny piece of ceramic,
you can shatter that window.
>> As we mentioned on the TV show,
the force with which that hits the window is so slight,
but it's so exquisitely fine,
that it creates a microfracture
that propagates through the entire window,
everything just collapses.
>> Yeah, basically we're just going to this spark plug,
shatter a little bit of aluminum oxide ceramic,
and with that,
it's going to give us a really, really tiny point.
Now a lot of it is how this glass is manufactured.
This has extremely high surface compression stress.
But also, really high internal
tensile stress.
Well when you hit it with a tiny point like that,
it releases all that energy,
popping the window.
>> Let's give it a try, I guess.
>> Do you want to? You've got to do it!
>> No!
>> I did it on TV!
>> I don't have the man-ass for it.
>> Come on! It feels really good!
>> All right, all right, all right.
You broke these before,
is it a case where you only have so much time before...
>> Well, if it is too dull, it won't work.
>> Okay.
>> So, these may not work but we'll give it a shot.
>> All right,
I'm going to pick my favorite of these,
the best contender.
>> JASON: Okay.
>> I'm just going to do my best Murphy impression.
I know I don't have the half-ass.
Here we go, here we go.
>> Not everyone does.
[window clinks]
>> BRIAN: Not so much.
>> Oh wow, all right.
>> Hold on, hold on, hold on.
[window clinks]
Not so much.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
[window clinks]
>> JASON: Oh wow, okay.
Not expected.
[window shatters]
>> BRIAN: Oh!
[window shatters]
Oh!
[window shatters in slow motion]
Oh!
[claps]
>> Satisfying.
>> That is very satisfying!
>> JASON: Right?
>> Dude, it's like everything crystallized,
and now, oh!
[window crinkles]
[laughs]
Here, put that on, do it, it's amazing!
>> Oh, man.
You can just see that one tiny impact point
spider-webbed through the whole thing!
[window crinkles]
>> BRIAN: That's so good!
>> But now it's just giving...
[window crinkles]
like nothing.
>> BRIAN: So,
what is the difference between these side windows,
and the front and the back?
It makes sense that you want it to shatter
so that you could get people out?
You probably don't want that on the front and back?
>> Yeah, these are really fragile,
but you wouldn't want your windshield to be like that,
a rock comes flying down the highway
and it's going to shatter that.
>> No, yeah, you would want to be somewhat protected.
>> But it is laminated, and so...
>> Let's see what happens, let's see what happens!
>> Let's do it!
>> BRIAN: Yeah!
>> First, we need some more ammo.
>> BRIAN: Okay, wait.
Here, I'll block it, there ya go.
[hammer slams on rock]
Wait, wait, wait, hold on.
>> I have lost all of our ammo.
[Brian laughs]
>> That's what I was afraid of!
Here's ammo!
I found some ammo!
I think there's some ammo over here.
We got some pieces.
>> JASON: I think that'll be enough.
>> BRIAN: I think these'll work.
>> JASON: You want to give it a try?
>> BRIAN: Yeah, yeah yeah.
>> Okay, we know that this won't work, right?
>> BRIAN: I think this might be the same type of glass?
Just, with a laminate on it?
So, what I would hope,
is that it would shatter,
but stay, like, taped together.
>> Yeah.
Needless to say, it is not going to be as effective as that.
You want to just try it from there?
>> Yeah, sure.
All right, ready?
>> JASON: I'm ready.
>> BRIAN: Front window test in three,
two, one!
[window clinks]
>> Okay.
Well look, it looks like a rock hit your windshield.
>> BRIAN: It did!
>> JASON: Yeah.
>> BRIAN: So it didn't propagate the way the other one did.
>> JASON: Yeah, it didn't spiderweb like the other one.
>> Here, let me try it again.
Front windshield test take two!
[window clinks]
[window clinks in slow motion]
Wow, every time!
It's cracking it.
>> JASON: Yeah,
I guess it's that laminate that's protecting it?
>> Yeah, it's like it's not taking the bait.
[window clinks]
[window clinks in slow motion]
Same thing!
>> Yeah.
>> BRIAN: Wow!
>> 'Kay.
[car hood buckles]
[laughs]
[claps]
>> JASON: For Asgard!
[window cracks]
[window cracks in slow motion]
[laughs in slow motion]
[laughs in real time]
>> BRIAN: Pause!
Pause!
Get it done now!
That's amazing!
[laughs]
So you can see, like, it's still propagated.
[knocks]
But that laminate really keeps everything
[knocks]
locked in!
>> JASON: Yeah, look at that.
>> BRIAN: Yeah, look at all that.
>> JASON: You can see, that kind of a
gooey texture in there holding it all together.
>> Here's a question.
How far away,
could we do like a Dude Perfect thing
and shatter a window from, like,
40 feet away?
>> I think we're obligated to try it!
[laughs]
[claps]
More breaking stuff!
>> The ultimate three point line challenge!
To shatter a window!
>> I don't think it's going to work!
[window clinks]
Okay maybe it'll work.
[window clinks]
Didn't even hit it!
[window clinks]
Also did not hit it.
[window clinks]
>> Oh come on!
[window clinks]
Last one!
We got to make this work.
Ready?
Together.
Three two one.
[small clink]
Nope, we both missed!
[laughs]
>> JASON: Hang on, hang on.
Right there, right there.
>> Do you have another?
Wait, no no no!
Yeah?
>> You want to do it?
I think you should do it.
>> It's a bad idea!
>> I think you should do it.
>> It's a bad idea.
>> Yeah it is.
>> I think you should do it.
This is a very Jason Murphy thing to do.
>> I don't, I don't know if I'll be able to hit it.
>> Close enough, close enough.
>> All right.
God, I wish it had a thong on it,
where I could...
All right.
[car clunks]
[laughs]
>> Let me try, let me try, let me try!
All right, here we go.
>> You got it!
[window crashes]
>> Yeah!
[window crashes]
Yeah!
[window crashes in slow motion]
[in slow motion] Yeah!
We did it!
We proved science!
You're welcome, internet!
>> Science is actually pretty cool sometimes, ya know?
[Brian laughs]
[claps]
[film rolling]
>> By now, everyone knows what a VPN is, right?
Hides your traffic,
makes it so you can teleport to different places,
keeps your business your own?
>> Yeah, where I go on the internet?
Nobody needs to know about that.
I mean seriously, nobody needs to know.
>> No I know, but people think it's like
"Oh no, they're going to get your finances!"
I mean, truth is, your finances are probably fine.
Your secret passwords are fine,
everything has tunneled encryption nowadays.
But that's not why I use it!
I'm not afraid of some nefarious hacker.
I'm afraid of my local IT department
just looky-looing.
>> Yeah.
>> Just gawking at me.
Every time I'm not running a VPN,
I just picture my IT guy standing over my shoulder,
watching me, and I'm like "No, thank you."
And get this, they're doing a special holiday bargain.
Three years at 81% off, plus two gifts!
You get four extra months free,
and NordPass Password Manager.
That's worth, like, almost $200!
Sorry, Roberto.
I'm just kidding.
Roberto you're great!
I trust you.
Just not that much.
