No words can convey how happy I am that full episodes are being uploaded to CZcams.
You seem to do a good job.
Seeing the guy absolutely wreck that parking job after all that talk was too funny
17:22 (Thomas) The cartoon-style wind-up throw!😂
One in a million from men to do that, so quite a poor example. Wondering who's kid is that.
@@PristineAcousticsyeah he throws weird
Mexico already solved the “you throw like a girl” myth, no one, I mean NO ONE throws a “chancla” (flip flop) with such accuracy and force like a Mexican mom.
you also just described a typical asian mom. I'm asian btw.
@@greatveemon2 I'm Chilean and I've lucky to see a Peruvian mom strike with a chancla (known in Perú as "ojotas") her misbehaving progeny. A most deadly strike, truly poetry in motion, and the remarkable thing here is that she wasn't only Hispanic, she was of direct Japanese ancestry.
Whenever my mom used her light footwear on me (known in Chile as "chala") I felt discouraged to ever again engage in whatever activity earned me the punishment, but my mom is just Hispanic. A mother that is both Asian and Hispanic is something else entirely.
@@I_am_Mister_Y Saludos hermano chileno, los detalles de tu comentario me hicieron reír, “Lucky to see…” y “most deadly”. Abrazos!
@@UlisesBarrera 😉Saludos a México. País que espero algún día poder visitar.
Then you haven’t heard of Moroccan or Turkish moms 😂
Tori putting baby Buster in the cupboard always kills me...
8:00
I was also surprised. I kind of expected accuracy to be largely equal with the men throwing slightly faster cause of greater size and power.
Finally, Banijay Science Editors, kind of listening to the viewers and putting in the episode along with what season this video is. Mythbusters - S08 E11. I've been having a hard time especially on weekends binge watching the content and finding what episode or season it is because of how they upload the videos with such titles "Can Guys Multitask? - Mythbusters - Science Documentary".
Just cross reference with the list of episodes on Wikipedia - that's what I do
@@TassieDinkum90 Yup, that's what I mostly do previously, which is actually quite of a hassle and extra work just to watch an episode on times when I simply want to relax, especially on weekends.
If I were driving down the street and an unmarked van did several identical U-turns behind me I would get stressed too
Just cause your paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
@@TiborRoussou HAHAHA
To answer Kari’s question about what a vegan zombie eats I’m going to quote from Phileas and Ferb “heads of lettuce, ears of corn,” “eye of potato.” Leg of carrot… what your carrots don’t have legs where do your parents shop.”
The parking challenge was shocking... how did they all get their driving license? I know a lot of people who are not perfect when it comes to parking, but they are not "parking by hearing" and trashing other cars regularly.
"I'm used to a few bumps" BESTIE NOOO THAT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU SHOULD BE USED TO
If the tasks would be like hanging a picture, changing tire, doing barbecue, ... Man would win. The tasks they received were closer to females.
When Kari and Tory drove away with Grant in the trunk, there was a cop car there! lol
there was no one in the trunk
@@gekfurian Yeah, but the officer was close. 😉
Should have pranked Kari by saying that the Men won and were better at multi-tasking. lol
Interesting that the female ball player, Jordan, still throws from a rather upright position. I have no doubt in her ability; but without that rotation about the waist, she can't reach her max theoretical velocity.
would it have been cheating to put baby buster upside down? don't tell me i'm the only one that woulda done that.
Would be cheating if you stuck baby buster in the sink?
@@kyuofcosmicthat's outside of the "safe" rectangle taped on the floor.
Thought the same thing!
Well all this "throw like a girl", "hit like a girl" refers to the strength of the throw/punch, not the accuracy/technique/style. In this sense it still remains valid.
On that morning routine test: Before i've seen any men try it out... I have my fingers crossed that atleast one just walks thru the door.
I think that women are very likely to be better multitaskers than men.
However, the first test is unquestionably flawed, as women are likely to have more experience multitasking under such scenario. (Men should have experience doing those tasks, but unfortunately most don't.)
If the test had been about changing the sparkplugs of a car, while changing its oil, while preventing a kettle, 20 or 25 feet away, from boiling by replacing it's water every time it gets near full boiling point. Maybe the ladies would've won there as well. We don't know.
I absolutely love this episode, mainly because it puts all the big talk to bed.
When men had to throw with their non-preferred hand, they certainly threw more like girls with their preferred hand. Maybe not an insult to the result of the throw, but certainly to their technique :P
the ball throw is just useless, the sample group is less than insignificant, it is basicly non existing with a sample of 8
Yup.
This needs a better sample, better methodology, and less bias.
IT's really weird that the saying "you throw like a girl" has an analog which goes exactly "you throw like you have 2 left hands". As for the parking and all the usual "myths" about women being worse than men in certain areas - i didn't have the life experience then to know it, but now, 20 years later i can say it's not based on the average woman, but rather on the few one who go extremely bad. It's almost impossible to find a guy who can't park eventually, but over the years i've seen plenty of women asking a giving up midway and some even asking a random male passing by to park their car for them. I guess that's when the notion that women can't park comes from - not based on all the apples, but the minority of really really bad ones.
You are allowed to pick a better spot to park a car in.
Who irons their clothes?
People that own nice shirts
I thought that the myth was that women suck at parking. I know I do. But I think that has more to do with me being wall-eyed.
I have adhd and I'm a kitchen folk.I'm used to fighting a dozen things at once and I will fully admit when i am at a loss.
28:16 haha, it's the famous moonwalking bear experiment aka inattentional blindness
Anyone that is saying the multitasking test is biased, i am really worried if you cannot make a sandwich and iron your own clothes. Would it make it better if it wasnt a child but a dog wanting to go in and out. 😅
I'm not so sure, I think the robobaby was a good test, with the baby you have to be constantly aware of it, you're not worried if a dog bumps its head on a wall/door, but with a baby you will be.
I think the sticker line barrier was a good idea.
I don't think there's anything wrong with the methodology or the results of the multitasking experiment. Sure, it would be better if they had a larger sample, but why would I or anyone else disagree with the results as they are presented?
The results support the fact tat women and men have different brains, which means women are gonna be better at some tasks and worse at other tasks. Is that even controversial?
Why are they crashing into other cars when they are parking, are they stupid? If the park like that all the time they either have high insurance and a lot of forms to fill in every month or they do not care about other peoples cars and just randomly destroy them and drive away.
15:33 Holy what the what?! I knew well that Adam had but Jamie as well??
Of course. Isn't that how they got to know each other?
My eyes bleed at the parallel parking scene. Just after couple of months of getting my licence, I could park in 20cm (not even inch) space without a scratch.(and not 20cm on both sides, it's total 20cm empty space to park I mean) How do they even give driving licence in the U.S.?
-Place i got my licence: Istanbul (like Manhattan but more chaotic)
I wonder why bumbers were removed on the cars :-D
How many of the men and women have a family? Multitasking discrepancy could be caused by practice or lack there of.
47:24 "the form is similar", except is clearly not.
OMG, you are right, they are different.
But I've always heard the insult "throwing like a girl" when boys throw a weak ball which is in this episode proven, girls throw a bit weaker. True, with the left hand they were about the same but it's the main hand that counts I would argue.
so, with the multitasking i took the more rigorous approach of removing the highest and lowest scores from each data set for a more representative average, and it still resulted in a 10 point lead on female so agreed with the results there, i kinda stopped counting the thrown balls cos i got VERY distracted by the zombie and i'm male lol. the professional baseball players have completely different form when you watch the overlaid clip they have in the show, why they lying? XD
The multi task is too bias for the woman XD, how many man did do those job before join the show?
If you can’t make breakfast and iron your clothes, then you deserve to get schooled.
This multi-tasking test made no sense, I wonder if it took place, for example, on a construction site or in another place dominated by men, then the results could be completely different.
They have to conform to feminist driven PC agenda otherwise production of the show could be endangered.
The idea was things that everyone should be able to do. And if a guy ever told me he cannot make a sandwich or iron their own clothes....well....
Ok Andrew Tate lol
Actually given the small numbers--10 men, 10 women, the differences in the avg. scores (64 for men, 72 for women) might not have been significant.
@@marjohnbuncio2782 Thank you for the compliment, but it doesn't really suit me because I'm much more handsome than him.
15% of speed is way preferable to +15% of accuracy, because 15% of speed is +30% of energy and in a group hunt scenario multiple throws are done at the same time.
If I throw with my right arm I do a somewhat decent performance, but if I switch to my left arm?
😂😂😂
I don't know if, with my left arm, I throw like a girl or a guy, but what I do know is that it looks like someone who has never thrown anything before and also has never seen someone else perform a throw before, meaning I really, really, REALLY suck at throwing, left arm-wise😂
Women won: More accurate at throwing; Notice the zombie; Good at multitasking.
Men won: Ask directions more quickly compared to women. (I didn't not see this coming.)
Tie: parking; Throw ball.
Interesting, I saw the Zombie straight away, but then I have ADHD. Did you take neurodiversity into account?
because they wore skirts, women invented over-arm bowling in cricket .....
28:12 Kind of a dumb method because it primes the viewer to disregard anything other than the number of dunks.
That's literally the point
@@kim98677 Mayhapp, but it would´ve been less direct if they simply stated "Watch the video", then afterwards "Did you notice something out of the ordinary?"
@@swedichboy1000 it doesn't work unless there's a specific object of focus
The thing they say about Asian drivers seems plausible
18:26 ++
film a female profi pitcher next time too!
the male is closer to the profi male, because he is a male xD
Gender myths? Sensitive subject nowadays.
Testing multitasking in jobs that women have lots of experience and most men significantly less is going to produce skewed results. Measure some action that requires multitasking and both sexes have the same level of experience in, like driving. Driving requires that you do many things at the same type, like handling the steering wheel, the pedals, check whatever happens on the road with other drivers and pedestrians and trying to guess what each of them will do next, maybe handling the radio etc. And we all know who the best driver is. Even the previous Battle of the sexes episode confirmed that.
The "Asking for directions" test also had skewed methodology. Men easily ask for directions when they drive alone. They hesitate when they drive with passengers in the car, especially if the passengers are women, cause asking for directions would make them look less "cool".
I have an issue with the multitasking experiment, it's clearly a scenario that will favor women. They should have designed a more neutral experiment scenario.
This episode is biased towards, let's call it, San Francisco sensitivities.
All these tests should be taken again and analyzed with larger samples and in a less biased environment.
Women can only multitask when one of the tasks is talking
Men on average speak 6,000 words a day which is less than a third of the average woman's 20,000 words a day
@@DrBarbequeSauce You got a source on that as well?
for the record , Adam and Jaime both throw like a girl.
As a long time fan of MythBusters, this has to be the laziest episode they've ever done.
you throw like a girl
How so?
you throw like a girl
I think these are perfect myths to test.
he probs throws like a girl
Myth Busters why are generation weren't completely idiotic
Dude, you're not helping the stereotype.
@@allanshpeley4284 What stereotype?
My point exactly
Care to try that in English?
I'm irish it's are job to ruin English poge mahone
Not my favourite episode, if only because a lot of ‘gender differences’ are down to generational socialising and that’s really hard to quantify.
I get it draws in the number of viewers to do myths like this, so it’s just what TV/content is.
That said, Tori sticking baby buster in the cupboard is hilarious.
It´s sex, not gender, thus you have myth right in the title...
I'm wondering... Does gender equality equal sex?
@@Tjescoo More like lack of for some people...
the best multitasking test is in kitchen and there is more men cook then women
Absolutely there is a measurable difference between how well and woman throws compared to a bloke and anyone that would refute that is delusional, men throw much harder and faster and that's not an offence to women its just a fact of life, men's muscles are stronger and more efficient than women's are but women have their own special skills and abilities that us men don't too and that's also a fact
