January 2020 Recap

It's been an uncharacteristically hot January around here, and much else of the world, and all of this fuego content isn't helping matters.

Edited Episode: youtu.be/0rPcHPY7gKs FPE Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJp0X6DVFEcil7oLxZ67SsMp5rGkGb8fnNot a whole lot to say about the production on this one, but a fun little thing you wouldn't know just by watching the episode: right behind the wide camera we had two...

Making Stunningly Clear Ice, the Easy Way

YouTube Link: youtu.be/0rPcHPY7gKsThe hard way to do this involves: getting a degree in ice, working 9-5, stowing away all of your money, not paying your taxes to afford the ice machine, getting audited and indicted before you can buy the ice machine, serving your time, spend 20 years inventing a low-cost ice machine while imprisoned, get out, raise investment money to build prototype, build proto...

Turning a Hotel Key Into a Stolen Credit Card

YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/ZDstCHYlj0UNext time we're going to put on glasses that let you see magnetic influence. Unfortunately it does so by coating your retinas in iron filings, so Jason has to wear two eye patches for the next month to recover.

2019's Biggest MR Moments We Bet You Missed

YouTube Link: youtu.be/nzCJ-V-tgXI(from Brian)Hot damn, gang. 2019 was a big one. What say we take a moment to wrap our minds around what a huge year this was? Also: yes, that's an Emmy. Yes, a real Emmy. And yes, it was given to me. And no, I didn't earn it. And yes, the story is even better behind it but you'll have to tune in to our comedy podcast Night Attack to hear it.———�...

Shooting Flaming Arrows Into a Pit of Gasoline

YouTube Link: youtu.be/BKSSxWBOTN8Let's say you have a bunch of action figures that develop malevolent sentience, we all know how that goes.

Blacksmithing: Forging a Bottle Opener

Sure, maybe I have a skin disorder where I smolder at all times, but they were fools to doubt my strength.—————This video was made with the help o...

Making Primitive Torches with Bacon Grease

YouTube Link: youtu.be/UJfaZswThVIWe've all been there: you wake up in a damp, dark cave wearing nothing but a shirt with a lighter in the pocket.
