2:03Hello, Travis. Today I have brought one of my many game shows, but this one I think is going to be a little simpler. We're going to play a little game of myth busters. Myth busters. I'm going to present to you a statement. You have to tell me, is that a myth or is that true? We'll go back and forth. Obviously being there's two answers here. No stealing. It's going to be pretty obvious if you get it wrong. What the correct answer is. So we'll go back and forth. I think I started with Donovan last time. So Matt, you swallow eight spiders a year while sleeping. Myth. Or true. I say false. That is true. Oh, that is indeed a myth. One to nothing. I don't know. It's close to zero than one. There's no scientific evidence. There are a lot of people who sleep with their mouths open. That's true. It's almost like a six flags ride for a spider. You think they like that hot damp area? Of course.

3:03I think they like to aren't like their webs or the opposite of hot name. They're not making a web in there. They're just trying to discover. You know how we are curious about going and going in caves? How we're curious about hot damp areas? We have stories all the time about people getting stuck in caves and they have to go in there. But I think they're hot and damp in there. They're the freaks of society because every one of us to a man are like nope, couldn't catch me dead in a cave. You don't think there are certain spiders that are afraid of caves? Are there one to explore? Donovan. Goldfish have a memory of only three seconds. Myth. Or true. I think that's true. That is a myth actually. They can remember things for months. Goldfish. Goldfish. How do we know? We test them. We cut up the world. They're scientifically tested.

4:04They take their little brain out and then you can look at it and they can analyze into a microscope. I think they do it with food. I'll say if you take our brains out. It's like a medal. 10 minutes. Matt. It's not like they're going to replay 10 minutes ago. It'll be the other things from your life. The great wall of China. Is visible from space with the naked eye myth. Or true. That is a myth sir. That is a myth. I've been lied to. That's I think that's the whole point of the game, right? Yeah, but I talked to this guy that was an astronaut Wow, you started out with a lie I'll talk to a guy that was an astronaut. Talk to this one dude the other day I was you know, I was driving through Houston. Stopped you got a salad. It's talking to Buzz the other day No, we deal. Oh, Buzzie you guys don't bus. You sound like Chris Chris. You know my friend No buzz all during

5:07You never got a chance to interview him when they came through here and you're like is it true? You can see the Great Wall of China. Here's like a damn damn damn Oh, it's 2026. We're trying to think he's a him honor everybody's You didn't talk to them when they came through. Yeah, when they brought the astronauts in who I don't know the people that handle them for radio purposes. They're what do you call those agents? Yeah, NASA's radio on Communicators Invite you know what invite your ass or not buddy in I've we've got a lot of questions We got a lot of questions. Why is that my my buddy? I just talked to you're just chatting with them when yeah one was on vacation Now's years ago. Okay, okay, I'm gonna go to a different school. You don't know them. I've been to Cape Canaveral Oh sweet man What people I can do I've been to the Houston space station too. I look at the sky I've never seen you guys ever seen the moon

6:10I've seen space channels. I mean you guys have seen Star Wars you would know anything about space We think they're discs don't been Lightning never strikes the same place twice that's a myth that is indeed a myth that actually happens all the time Many places get struck several times Do you have that irrational fear? I do actually no because that's why I'm not I see the big cracks in the in the sky. I'm I'm nervous I am not going to I'm not going outside to see any big weather So I feel like if I am going to get struck by lightning it's going to have to find it's gonna have to be in your house Yeah, and I feel like I'm not gonna be found. I mean as a kid I definitely thought when it's storming outside you don't take a shower. That's a bad time to take a shower That was definitely a no wives tale right that I've gotten past oh really Stitious as I am you got over that one. I don't care about taking a shower in the I think it's done something to that. It may be is that I want to real I I'm not on my list of yeah

7:12They're not looking it up recently because I told somebody is like no, that's trust me. It's not a big deal And I looked it up. I was like yeah, that doesn't bother me. It's storming outside. Hey, I need to I need to take a hot spot You'll take a bath. No, I'll take a shower. Just sit in there. I'll bat out bath. Who cares? Who cares? Matt humans only use 10% of their brains myth or true Myth that is a myth. We use nearly all of our brains. Yes. I was gonna say Which is why when you lose a part of that's very true when you lose a part of it. You might be okay You might be okay two to one. Yeah, was it wedding crashers the great pickup line of where he goes You know how they say we only use 10% of our brains? Why use 100% of my heart or whatever he says that sounds like an Owen Wilson line Yeah Does sound like Owen Wilson Donovan a penny dropped from the Empire State Building could kill someone myth Or true. That's the myth. That is indeed a myth. We are on a roll now. All tied up

8:14A little bit of a misfire there Strange because you would think from that height that it would just bore a hole through your brain Just gonna what it bounces off. Couldn't cuss you. I'm sure it would hurt Maybe what was that be like a hail like a hail drop It's got to be bigger to ice. I don't know hail drop. It'd be like a hail. What is it? What is it? Stone a hail stone. Oh, you thought it was a hail drop like a raindrops. Why Hail drops falling on my head. Hey, look. I'm just trying to use familiar vernacular to get my way through this 100% of your brain right now. I never claimed I was never claimed I was and your mouth was open last night in the spider And then you ate it and I'm gonna be honest. I think I'm on Donovan now. Is it Donovan's turn? Yes. Yeah, I don't even Bananas are technically berries myth or true Interesting. That's true. Wow. That didn't even feel like a shot in the dark that felt like you knew it and that is correct

9:14Bananas are technically berries. I was watching As you scroll through Instagram or whatever it is and the Reels pop up. There's a podcast That's known for one guy being not very smart and the other Okay, and they always argue and that was one of the arguments you You've ever seen like a berry or not a berry a banana in the wild like the old version of a banana If you see that it makes a lot more sense that it's a berry. I picked one off a tree. Really? Yes, and Hawaii Did you pick all the seeds out of there? I ate it. Yeah, you got two bites of banana out of that whole thing It was very green, but I like green bananas. I prefer mine to be my kids like that Yeah, they're like man. I can't stand them like that. Yes. I won't I don't like them if they have any brown spots on them whatsoever. I like green bananas. Yes Okay, cuz I don't like the motion is yeah, I know I'm with that, but I feel like the green ones are I don't like it that rigid And they're pretty hard, but apparently they're better for you and when they're green versus when they're more

10:17I feel like when it's bright yellow. It's when it's at its best. No, they say the longer it goes the more sugar it gets The sweeter it is the more right, right? That's why I like it, but I will take I'll take a banana in any form except the green one and I bet Matt you're an organic banana guy No, not necessarily because there's no benefit to it right They the only thing is is they stay green forever has a shell. Yeah, so you're not eating the shell part if we ate the shell I would be organic. Yeah, okay. Yeah, but the green ones are more bitter, which like kale, which is I like bitter things So they're the IPA of bananas the green banana. Yeah, the green banana is the And is it true that we're supposed to peel them from the bottom? Oh like uh like the the primates in our in our family. That's how monkeys do it. Yeah Thanks Dylan. He cleared that up for me Yeah, if you don't know what a primate was quite sure what a primate was so I think yeah, I think you also known as monkeys Also known as monkeys, but what about apes dad that totally different two totally different animals there Another animal over to Matt sharks existed before trees myth

11:22True sharks before a tree sharks before trees myth or true Man, that's a good one. Thank you because they've been around very long time. They're basically dinosaurs indeed, but I'm sharks of trees Both okay, essentially I got to go wait sharks existed before trees indeed yes I got to say I don't recall reading in the Bible that there were sharks in the Garden of Eden and he did pick an apple from a tree I will say trees existed first I hate to go against the Bible here, but uh sharks before trees huh Some biblical show this is I think I would have thought the same thing we're playing myth busters here on the invasion Unless it was the shark that delivered the apple On the tree, but I think in the text it tells us it was a snake, right, but back then it could have been anything Maybe sharks talked we don't know right. There's no recorded history. They didn't have fins yet although to be fair I think I was thinking that's human history and I

12:24Sharks existed before humans because Adam and Eve were humans I feel like you're stepping outside of the Bible now in the Garden of you just saying I feel like you've gone outside the sacred text here. I thought that was a best apple of all time It was good. It was Christmas. I think so. I bet there weren't any breezes on it or nothing I don't think the evolution of everything. I bet you everything back then was pretty nasty I don't know man. You don't think that was a nice pink lady. No, I don't think it was He discovered it was pretty quick. Wasn't it not even like an apple actually? It could have been any fruit Got him. Oh man, we're having a hell Where you going? That's that was one of the three pointers of Houston didn't make last night. Yeah, that was from half-court Nothing but net Nothing but net. That was great. That was great three to two Donovan here in myth busters on the invasion Donovan bulls get angry when they see the color red myth Or true. That's a myth. That is indeed a myth. They are Attracted by movement kind of like a t-rex movement sends them off. Okay. Uh, four to two

13:26Donovan very confident with that. I know. I knew that. I knew that was a quick one. That was a quick one Matt you lose most of your body heat through your head myth or true Most of it. I will say true That is indeed a myth. Oh really? I thought this one was true. I would have said the same thing I said it this winter to my son put a hat on it's cold outside you lose all most of your body heat through your head Where do you lose it the body heat everywhere? Even spread wherever it's not covered. I suppose your feet man wherever skin is exposed not just through the head Are you just throwing random things out on you do you know this? No, it's not I'm asking Dylan. I'm pretty confident about that. He's pretty confident about the feet Well, you're wrong. It's it's proportional throughout your entire body because all skin leaks heat the same essentially Dylan, I don't want to be a jerk, but you don't have the best track record in these games Yeah, your games show uh And the correctness of your information always a bit in question. We love you. You're doing great

14:30Yes, you are and we're happy to have you no doubt But that's why just kind of question that just to make sure because I want to know the facts Both times he's popped in your eyes of squinted just ever so slightly like I want to use 100% of my brain But you're trying to get all the facts right you get a strain And if I lost the majority of my body heat out of my feet, I would wear socks double double double bag it I double bag it down there. You always have keep somebody. He didn't always have enough every nine and you just in case Dude just in case you don't be safe. You're so strange actually try that I'm talking about it the store. Yeah, so you can goods won't go out of the bag. What are you talking? Anytime you bring it in a gallon of milk. You don't double bag it Pretty obvious when I was talking you being gross again dude. What's your problem? Oh, that's gross Matt cracking your knuckles causes arthritis mid I'm getting smoked in this game I'm gonna say that is a myth That is indeed a myth and thank goodness. It is because I am constantly cracking my knuckles

15:35I like cracking does it feel good to you so good. I can do my both knees neck But only to the left the right it hurts really bad. I can do all my fingers on like the knuckle here and The finger knuckle and then my thumbs are good. I can do that. I can do my wrists. I never do it my shoulders crack real good It's probably not good to crack everywhere if I had to put money on it But it is just like air releasing within your within your joints. So it's like your bones farting It is like your bones farting is it that's a great way to put it in layman's terms. It's like your bones are farting and in the The words of one Whitney Houston Crack is wack So I don't crack my bones. Okay, I was she may have been talking about the other crack right and but I'm just she didn't really follow her own No, she didn't invite what happened right right so She was kind of right in a roundabout way she was Spot on what she was so committed to it that she tested it herself and crack is wack. It's wack. It's so really is so wack

16:43Donovan sugar makes makes kids hyper myth or true sugar makes kids hyper And I am intentionally asking the guy with no kids this I'm going to say true I know it's a myth, but I'm going to say true. It says on my paper here. It's miss I don't know. I don't know that I buy it. We have all the evidence in the world that if you that would give you an energy boost I know I think it's not even just kids. I think it makes me hyper you get a jolt of insulin in your body It's oversaturated with it which would temporarily give you a boost, but then you would crash hard right That's what I would think, but The research I did tells me it's a myth Wow, I know I know that changes a lot of it changes almost everything so just Give them all the sugar they want Well, it doesn't matter. They're gonna get it's not gonna hype them up. They'll get fat if you do that That's another thing. They're not talking about fat right now. We're just talking about. I don't have an obcity question here Okay, but I do have for for Matt for me for you

17:47Twinkies last forever myth or true There's just no way to know because we at what point do we get to forever? We're not forever. Yeah, I will say myth It is indeed a myth. They have an expiration date on the box that you can observe and Here's an expiration date on the box, but it still can be good honey has an expiration date and honey last forever Doesn't it does hey donovan huh honey never spoils myth Or true. It's true. Never spoils. It's good forever. And I don't care what your research says Because I know what I'm talking about god. I wish it was a myth. I so wish it was a me The honey king is here. It lasts forever. It does it lasts forever Unlike Twinkies pretty much the package not the actual honey, right? We don't want to eat it If it's but I want to challenge twinkies got pretty sure my mom probably has a Boxes 76 That thing right now the documentary zombie land tells me that they they never go bad. We were limited to only one Twinkie a day

18:54And it was the Twinkie the hardest thing for me to do going up is that the most ultra processed food that exists It's got to be up there. Well Twinkies ding dong's all those honey bun There's some jerkeys that I I wouldn't mess around with so I know Is there a single bit of natural ingredient in a twink mean sugar deliciousness How about that Man, I can't even know last time I had a Twinkie if I had one now I bet 1987 for me 87 I'm just going out on a list. Do you think it was in the 2000s for you? I've had one in the last like five years. I would say yeah, you have kids. Yeah So like if they'll they'll eventually find their own about ding dong's See, I don't like those little cake pastries I'm not a big fan. I like cookies and ice cream. There's my god There's none of ingredients in this thing. There's not little little baby. You're a kid unwrapping That aluminum foil To open up a ding dong. I was a big fan of this one of the greatest feelings you got anybody. Okay, those were great the cookie
