00:00Which has more destructive power? Lava or lasers?
00:04Well, today we're going to answer that age-old question with a bit of a scientific face-off
00:08by testing each against seven objects, including a row of glass bottles,
00:12a bunch of popcorn kernels, a metal maize, a can of beans, a bunch of matches,
00:17a canister of highly flammable butane, and finally, an actual boat.
00:23And since lava won the last showdown between acid versus lava,
00:26your questionable safety method practicing Hawaiian-shirted reigning champion is back,
00:32Kevin, the backyard scientist.
00:35And his laser-wielding opponent in this matchup will be a former middle school science teacher
00:39and a man who has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, possibly more than Jimmy Kimmel himself,
00:44science Bob Flugfelder.
00:46But once again, I'm not just going to be watching from the sidelines,
00:49because each of the seven objects will have to face my X-Factor method of destruction
00:54that will be different for each object.
00:56So, for example, that highly flammable canister of butane gas
00:59might be dropping into the path of two katanas spitting at 1,500 RPM
01:03in a small room filled with open flames.
01:06And as expected, the nerd trash talk commenced immediately.
01:09I love Kevin's cute little backyard build.
01:12You're going down, Bob.
01:13Don't go sleeping on the X-Factor.
01:15You got another excavator hiding outside?
01:17No!
01:18I'm basically Oprah here, because the winner of today's competition gets a boat.
01:22Last time you said I'd win a car, we ended up burning all the cars.
01:25Did you win a car?
01:26Technically, but...
01:27Well, with that, we can...
01:29William!
01:30Will's back!
01:31It smells like farts in here, Mark.
01:33Somebody farted.
01:34I'll get you out, Will.
01:35Ah!
01:35William!
01:36Yeah?
01:36Don't you have better things to do?
01:38So, in exchange for once again crashing the party, I sent William off to find the official
01:42Crunch Labs bin of spare referee uniforms.
01:45I forgot about that thing.
01:46It was time to commence our seven-item showdown of destruction, starting first with a row of
01:51glass bottles.
01:51What I have in my hand is a 3,000-watt, water-cooled, high-powered laser.
01:56This thing gets hotter than lava, Kevin.
01:58Only in a tiny spot.
01:59That's all we need.
01:59I'm not even going to wear my glasses.
02:01You have to wear your glasses.
02:02Okay, sorry.
02:03Here we go.
02:04Oh, my goodness.
02:06Whoa!
02:07It's like a mini-volcano!
02:09Holy...
02:10Okay.
02:10Bob slowly worked his laser through every bottle, setting them up so he could breezily
02:16knock them down.
02:18So, that's a good way to cut a glass in half.
02:20Which was fair enough, but could lava do better?
02:23Let's do it.
02:24Nice.
02:25And by the way, if you've ever wondered how to make lava, all you do is stick rocks in
02:29a graphite crucible, then heat them up to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit so that the rocks just
02:33literally melt and turn into their liquid form.
02:36Look at that!
02:38Wow!
02:38That's actually hot!
02:39Hot lava!
02:41Whoa!
02:47Whoa!
02:53Whoa!
02:55Whoa!
02:56Whoa!
02:58Whoa!
02:59Whoa!
03:00Whoa!
03:00Whoa!
03:01Whoa!
03:01Whoa!
03:01Whoa!
03:01That was awesome!
03:01Horrifying and amazing.
03:03That was also a lot faster than Bob's!
03:05Can't argue with that.
03:06And with the flames safely doused, it was now my turn.
03:09I would say Kevin wins.
03:10I haven't gone yet!
03:12I think I won that one, right?
03:13And they would soon live to regret ever discounting the X Factor.
03:17What they didn't know is when it comes to oversized, quadruple-banded trigger-locked slingshots,
03:21I'm a bit of a sharpshooter.
03:23I'm a bit of a sharpshooter.
03:25Darn it.
03:26Darn it!
03:27It's harder than it looks, alright?
03:29First try.
03:36Yes!
03:37And, uh, yeah, my slingshot eventually handled all of them.
03:42Mark, you made this easy.
03:43It's Kevin.
03:44Let's go!
03:45Next round!
03:46So Lava put the first points on the board as we moved into the second event of the day
03:49to see which of us could most effectively pop some popcorn.
03:52How did no one think of using a laser to pop popcorn?
03:56That's a no-brainer, just like you.
03:58Don't insult a guy with a military-grade laser.
04:01Three, two, one!
04:02Wow!
04:04Oh, I see a kernel!
04:06What?
04:06Are they popping?
04:07Yes!
04:07What?
04:08The car may have set it on fire.
04:10This looks repulsive.
04:11You haven't tasted it yet.
04:12Just, like, a little bit burnt.
04:13See?
04:14Oh!
04:14Oh!
04:15Yay!
04:16Just needs more time.
04:18But Bob's time was up.
04:19Do you have a plan, Kevin?
04:20No.
04:21First, just like this.
04:23Oh, man, dude.
04:24That's clever.
04:25That's Guy Fieri right there.
04:26And then, here we go.
04:27Popcorn at top.
04:29Whoa!
04:29Oh, you really went for it.
04:30Oh, yeah.
04:31Wow, look at the smoke.
04:33Is it off-gassing and then burning?
04:35That is cool!
04:36That's one of the craziest things I've ever seen in my life.
04:39I think it's...
04:40Whoa!
04:43We got some popcorn!
04:45Kevin's popcorn was the clear winner in quantity.
04:48Whoa!
04:51Taste test.
04:52But how is the quality?
04:54Oh, it's chewy.
04:55Huh.
04:56Oh, no.
04:57That's not good.
04:57Wow.
04:58Lacking.
05:00Severely lacking.
05:01It just tastes like smoke.
05:02That's horrible.
05:04Which brought us to the X Factor and this odd-looking contraption.
05:08Okay.
05:08Now, I just turned.
05:10This should make popcorn really, really fast.
05:13Basically, the way it works is you put the kernels in the top of this mini-chamber,
05:16and then you lock it closed and heat it up over a small fire, which causes the air pressure
05:21to rise really high, because the air can't expand out like it wants to as it heats up.
05:26This new pressure, then, pushes back on each kernel, squeezing them in all around like a weighted blanket
05:32to keep their kernel shape, even though they're now totally hot enough to pop into popcorn.
05:37So after putting a liberal amount of butter and salt into this bag here, and then prying off the lid
05:41to the chamber...
05:43Three, two, one!
05:45Ah!
05:46Ah!
05:47You instantly pop a thousand pieces of popcorn as they're free to expand now without all the extra air pushing
05:55them in.
05:55Whoa!
05:57Whoa!
05:57And after a quick shake...
05:58I'll be the judge.
06:01That's pretty good.
06:02That's really good, actually.
06:02Yeah.
06:02If mine was covered in salt and butter, it would taste good, too.
06:05Yeah, let's test it.
06:06Okay, wait, no.
06:07The winner is Mark!
06:08And that meant the underdog X Factor was tied with lava as we moved into round three, the metal maze.
06:13And science Bob's plan was to use a series of mirrors to send his beam through the maze straight to
06:19a balloon filled with flammable gas.
06:21Ooh, balloon!
06:21Fastest way to solve a maze is to use the speed of light.
06:24Three, two, one, powering.
06:27And while it instantly got through the maze, all of the mirrors did too much to weaken the intensity of
06:32the beam.
06:32Bob, it didn't light your flash paper.
06:34Can we just do it manually?
06:37Only barely being salvaged by the explosive ending.
06:42And Kevin's take on the maze was to turn it on its head.
06:45You have to follow your own path in life.
06:46Don't listen to the walls society puts up for you.
06:49You take the maze and you just melt it down.
06:51Oh, gosh.
06:51Get in with lava.
06:55Whoa!
06:56It's beautiful!
06:57It already went through?
06:58And the lava wasted no time in just melting its way through every wall.
07:02Whoa!
07:07I might burn through this side too.
07:09I can solve the maze ten different ways.
07:11But one was more than enough.
07:13I think that was really cool, Kevin.
07:14That's beautiful, Kevin.
07:15Thank you.
07:16I also think you didn't solve the maze.
07:17Yeah.
07:18My submission for X Factor on maze should be arriving now.
07:24Right on time.
07:26This...
07:26What?
07:27There's no way she's fitting in that maze.
07:28Is my adorable niece Kaylee.
07:30And Kaylee, what do we have in this box?
07:32We have my pet Squeaky.
07:34Squeaky can do the maze?
07:36Yeah.
07:36So we put a little motivation at the end of the maze and let Squeaky get to work.
07:40And Squeaky wasted no time in leaving the competition in the dust.
07:44Oh!
07:45Come on.
07:46Come on, Squeaky.
07:47Come on, Squeaky.
07:48Turn around.
07:49I can't believe this worked.
07:51I can't believe this worked.
07:51Yes.
07:52Oh, that's so embarrassing for you, Mark.
07:54Squeaky!
07:54Squeaky!
07:55This is so bad.
07:55Kaylee, can you tell him to go to the finish line?
07:58I can, but I don't want to.
08:00Wait.
08:00What?
08:01Come on!
08:01There's something wrong with this mouse.
08:03Okay.
08:04Okay.
08:04Okay.
08:05Yes!
08:06I got a cow.
08:06Full body out.
08:07Full body out.
08:09And...
08:11What?
08:15Science Bob attempted to console me with a scientific explanation for Squeaky's cold feet.
08:20Mammals don't like being out in the open because that's where predators are.
08:23So right now it's probably feeling a little more protection.
08:26So knowing this, we gave Squeaky a nice protected VIP line straight to the cheese.
08:32And soon enough...
08:34Oh, that's it.
08:35Yes!
08:37Yes!
08:37Go into Science Bob's clothes.
08:38That would be awesome.
08:39Yes!
08:39Yes!
08:40Do it!
08:41Do it!
08:41Yeah!
08:42So I sent my adorable niece Kaylee off to wait.
08:44It's your call.
08:45How do you want to play this?
08:45While we all waited for William's final call.
08:48I will say, she cries easy.
08:49Easy choice to make.
08:50Make eye contact with Kaylee first.
08:52Okay, fine.
08:53Everybody wins.
08:55You're a winner.
08:56You're a winner.
08:56The points are negated.
08:57No one gets any points.
08:58Which was, perhaps deservedly, a way to call us all losers on that round as we moved on
09:03to the tastiest round.
09:04Yet, beans!
09:05Welcome to the Crunch Labs kitchen.
09:08Yes, chef!
09:08Yes, chef!
09:09Here we go.
09:11Warm them up gently, then they will be delicious.
09:15Looks like he's welding beans.
09:17Once they're warmed up gently.
09:19Besides Bob, you're leaking beans everywhere!
09:21This is a crime against beans.
09:23Just like grandma makes it.
09:25It smells like grandma.
09:27Mmm.
09:28It's like mildly room temperature beans.
09:29Five stars.
09:30So all Kevin's lava had to do was beat room temperature beans.
09:34This is gonna be way better than your laser beans.
09:36Kevin, you look like a chef from the future.
09:39Thank you.
09:40Here we go.
09:43Whoa!
09:44Whoa!
09:48Whoa!
09:54Oh my...
09:55Whoa!
09:57Get away from it, Kevin.
09:58Okay.
09:59Okay.
10:01Cool, Kevin!
10:04I have never seen that happen before.
10:06Yeah!
10:07It's like an alien egg omelet.
10:08You are a futuristic chef.
10:10Look at that!
10:11Oh, look at that!
10:11But to be kind...
10:12And the floor is lava.
10:14We gave him the mulligan.
10:15Oh, the power of a volcano versus these beans!
10:18Oh!
10:24Yeah!
10:25Wait, that can of beans is gonna explode.
10:27That's what I'm kind of worried about.
10:28Wait.
10:29Is it gonna explode?
10:30Kevin, I would put that down and get away from the beans.
10:31Get away, get away, get away, get away, get away.
10:33Is that getting bigger?
10:34Get away!
10:34Is that getting bigger?!
10:35Kevin, get away from the beans!
10:36Kevin, join us!
10:37It's getting bigger?!
10:38It's gonna explode, bro.
10:39Well, I know.
10:39I wanna get covered in beans.
10:41So we waited to see if these were truly some ticking time beans.
10:44This is horrible.
10:47The second I let my guard down, it's gonna explode.
10:49You look like a muppet.
10:51Oh!
10:51Is that it?
10:52Okay.
10:53It punctured.
10:54I knew you wouldn't do it.
10:55And with these beans being more bust than boom, we had to grab a can opener, sing us
10:59out.
11:00Kevin's locked.
11:06Whoa!
11:09Never mind!
11:12We rolling?
11:14Oh my god.
11:16My ceiling!
11:17Don't come back down any minute now.
11:19That is quite possibly the biggest and loudest explosion we've ever had at Crunch Labs.
11:24And we've had a lot!
11:26Dude, the floor is slippery!
11:28Dude!
11:29There's no beans!
11:30Wait!
11:31There's no more beans!
11:32What?!
11:33Fortunately, we found just enough for a taste test.
11:36Aw.
11:37Oh god.
11:37Before moving on to the X Factor.
11:39There's more than one way to boil a can of beans.
11:42With a twist they never saw coming.
11:45Because that clear container is actually a vacuum chamber.
11:48And by sucking out the air on the chamber, I would lower the pressure on the beans causing
11:52them to boil.
11:52You might have noticed this effect when you're at higher elevation in the mountains where
11:55the air pressure is lower and it takes longer for something like your ramen noodles
11:59to become soft even though the water is boiling.
12:02With less air pressure, the boiling point of water is as much as 10 degrees lower.
12:06So the water just can't get as hot before it turns to steam.
12:09Oh yes!
12:10They're like rising out with the foam.
12:13This is disgusting, Mark.
12:14Looks like a root beer float.
12:15Wait till you taste it.
12:16And once it had been given enough time to really boil, I switched off the vacuum,
12:21letting the air rush back in as I prepared to plate.
12:24Oh my god!
12:26Judge?
12:28They're colder than the room temperature.
12:30You get negative points because you made the beans colder.
12:32There's only one of these that was memorable and it was Kevin's bean bomb.
12:36Yes!
12:36So Kevin pulled ahead by one point, but it was still anybody's game going into the matches
12:41round.
12:42Alright, arguably the most expensive way to light a match.
12:45Oh!
12:46Oh my god!
12:47Whoa!
12:48The laser worked great, although thanks to Bob's protective eyewear.
12:51You've basically missed the entire back half.
12:53It's so hard to see.
12:54Don't tell him.
12:55Don't tell him.
12:55Alright, mate, you're doing great, Bob.
12:56Wow!
12:57But even with his helmet handicap, Bob got the rest quickly.
13:00Wow!
13:03And now for Kevin's contraption, a spaghetti pot with slots he had cut in the bottom and
13:08then bolted it to the end of a router motor, hoping a centrifugal force would fire the rapidly
13:12spinning lava into the matches.
13:25It was quick, beautiful, and left a ton of flames.
13:29I can't believe it!
13:30Unfortunately for Kevin, the flames just weren't on the matches.
13:33No!
13:35Oh, you're burning it with the crucible.
13:37It's not even lava anymore.
13:38It got kind of sad.
13:39Here we go.
13:40For the X-Factor, I filled a squirt gun with acid in the hopes it would create an exothermic
13:44reaction on the match heads, causing them to ignite.
13:47I can have the minions bring you some lava.
13:49I don't need your big lava!
13:51Whoa!
13:52Whoa!
13:54Chemistry!
13:55What's up?
13:57I think you need a time lapse instead of high speed, Mark.
13:59That's nerd trash talk right there.
14:01And so we did put it to a time lapse, and we found out that if we gave it enough
14:05time,
14:06it still burnt out.
14:08Science Bob had the most effective method of lighting on fire.
14:11Laser!
14:12No way!
14:13So Science Bob was finally on the board as we moved into the flammable butane cans.
14:17We've been trying to answer some important science questions here, and the world wants
14:21to know what happens if we hit a laser on a can of highly flammable butane.
14:25What happens?
14:26Well, I don't know, so we're going to find out.
14:28Three, two, one!
14:30Oh!
14:31Okay, okay.
14:32Going down, going down.
14:36Whoa!
14:42Whoa!
14:42That's not what I was expecting!
14:46That's how you laser.
14:47It was a strong start for laser, and now it was over to lava to see if it could be
14:52topped.
14:52Kevin, I see we need bunker protection for this.
14:55Oh, why?
14:56Because it's going to be so good?
14:57Because it's going to be dangerous.
14:58Woo!
14:59Whoa!
14:59Whoa!
14:59Whoa!
15:01Whoa!
15:01Whoa!
15:02That means it's good.
15:03Despite my best judgment, I allowed Kevin to continue as he attempted to ignite a butane
15:08canister by dumping a bunch of lava on it.
15:11Oh!
15:12And the result was actually gorgeous.
15:15Oh!
15:18As the venting butane forced the viscous flow of lava streaming back up into the air.
15:24Whoa!
15:25And when it was finally through.
15:27Look at the bubble on the floor!
15:28It left so much to see.
15:30Whoa, look at the lava spike on that.
15:32Obsidian dagger.
15:33And a lot to hear.
15:35That's-
15:35Whoa!
15:37Oh!
15:38Oh!
15:39Ah!
15:41It's like lava ASMR.
15:43And even some stuff to wear.
15:44I think we officially have the world's most dangerous contact lenses.
15:47But I could beat all that.
15:48Gentlemen, you'll find your butane can attached to the ceiling here with an electromagnet.
15:52If I push this button, it drops.
15:55Drops onto what?
15:56Well, it drops onto this helicopter that spins these little arms.
16:00They're not wooden arms.
16:02They are...
16:04Swords.
16:05Those are katanas, I believe.
16:07Then what?
16:07Sterno flames all around in the container to ignite the butane.
16:12So you took two swords and bolted them to a motor.
16:141500 RPM motor.
16:15They're gonna stay on it?
16:17In theory.
16:18I lit the candles as I prepared to say hello to victory and potentially goodbye to crunch labs.
16:24Mwah!
16:24Here we go!
16:25Spin her up!
16:26Oh!
16:27Is that as fast as it can go?
16:29No.
16:29Oh no.
16:31You should say stuff like that, Kevin.
16:34OOOOOO!
16:36OK, I'm good there.
16:37OK, here we go!
16:39Mark, this is terrifying.
16:403, 2, 1!
17:01隆Suscr铆bete al canal!
17:18隆Suscr铆bete al canal!
18:05隆Suscr铆bete al canal!
18:07隆Suscr铆bete al canal!
18:123, 2, 1, fire!
18:17Oh my god!
18:19I should be splashing them with lava, not water!
18:23I would have hit it, but it missed!
18:26This is it, Kevin!
18:27Launch lava at you, like normal people do.
18:36Come on!
18:38I think if we take the lava out of the crucible, it'll go farther.
18:41Just a red hot crucible, no lava
18:45Ok
18:45It was his last shot
18:473, 2, 1
18:48So he gave it everything
18:54And by sheer luck
18:57He hit one of the gas can triggers
19:04He just dropped the bomb and kept going
19:06And we waited for the ship to sink
19:08But alas, it did not
19:10Wow, Kevin
19:11My lava minions are fired
19:14Alright gentlemen, my strategy here is kind of simple
19:17Simple man, simple strategy
19:19Continuing with the medieval theme
19:20Flaming arrow
19:24He doesn't even have a quiver
19:25He's just like strapping him to his back
19:27By the way, I got my archery merit badge in Boy Scouts
19:30Is that why it's not catching on fire?
19:31It looks like it's supposed to catch on fire
19:33Oh yeah
19:37Ok, straight and true
19:44Oh my god
19:45That was supposed to look cooler
19:47The X-Men is back, baby!
19:50Here we go, got it
19:51Definitely the win
19:53There is no win
19:55This is so sad
19:58The lake is littered with arrows
20:02People look up to you, Mark
20:03Oh yeah!
20:05Oh!
20:06Hey, arrow boy
20:07Wait, I thought you were going to trash talk
20:09I was just going to say, good luck
20:11And I'm rooting for you
20:12Well, now I feel bad
20:13Quit being nice, Bob!
20:16Sorry
20:16This is the last arrow
20:17Alright, I gotta make this one count
20:21Okay, here we go
20:22Flaming arrow!
20:31Dang it!
20:33And then there was one!
20:34This game is rigged!
20:36And with my boat even less sunk than Kevin's
20:39The stage was perfectly set for Science Bob to steal away the victory
20:43Alright boys, now we have added an extender on here
20:47This is a big moment because you're down by one
20:49But this is a two-pointer
20:51I literally have to light myself on fire out there
20:53Oh yeah, sorry Bob
20:54Me and a Ryan Seacrest hairdo
20:56I think it's a good look
20:57It's way better than my regular hair
21:00Alright, Bob!
21:01Alright, Bob
21:01Bob's about to pull a titanic
21:043...2...1...
21:05K...
21:06Are you firing?
21:07Oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
21:09Oh, oh, oh, oh
21:09Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
21:10Here we go
21:10Get fire
21:11Hit it, Bob!
21:12Let's go, Bob!
21:13Rip, Rip, let's go, Bob!
21:14Let's go, go, go, go
21:16Let's go, rip
21:16Cut the boat in the back, Bob
21:18We have to let it cool
21:46隆Suscr铆bete al canal!
21:49Ok
21:49And as the USS laser sunk into the watery depths, like any good captain, Science Bob Seacrest went down with
21:57the ship.
21:59Look, it could be anyone's game at this point. Will, what's the call?
22:02It's golden hour, you look incredibly handsome, but you're still the loser.
22:06Bob, Bob did damage.
22:07Thank you.
22:10What? You get a hug?
22:11And of course, I promised you a brand new boat, so there it is.
22:14Oh, that's my boat.
22:19But, I don't want that boat.
22:49And I'm sure about it.
23:07You're an ocean engineer.
