Hello, 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.

I 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.

They 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

You 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

I'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

They'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

A 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

Bananas 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

I 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

True 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

Sharks 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

Donovan 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

Yes, 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

I 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

Donovan 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

Twinkies 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

And 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

Yeah, the little wafer thing or whatever you want to call it. I guess the yeah the wafer with the chocolate peanut butter

The they had like a bar version of it as well. Oh, okay, good and the little debut snack cakes right now zebra cakes

I've had that within the last month. Okay, zebra cakes. Zebra cakes are had one yesterday. Old Mill cream pie. I don't know if it was limited time

But it was it existed the zebra cake is

Top tier when you talk about making a list of your favorite snacks

Zebra cakes. They have zebra cake donuts. This might be sacrilege

But you can miss me with the Christmas trees. Okay, that's the exact same thing. They're just a little different as far as the

See, they taste different design. They taste different to me. I feel like great the frog cake and you little difference split that thing open like an Oreo

Swiss rolls

Swiss rolls of delicious

Of course not, but then why I mean back in the day even let's get into more here showing

Donovan

He's thinking about cakes now. I know I've got all those snacks

Dogs only see in black and white myth or true. That's a myth. That is indeed a myth. It is six to four now

Yeah, my dog commented on a nice blue suit. I had on the day. Yeah

He's gonna streak all right

Stiff me on my buttons that good job, dude, and then walked off. I was like thanks man. Oh my god

Maddie dog joining us now

New character every all right Matt you're down by two

But it's the last question

So you know what that means this one's worth a couldrillion points

You should wait 30 minutes before swimming after eating myth

Or true myth it is a myth in your champion of Friday for quality myth busters

Maddie dog
