Transcript

Now what we're going to do is build a paper boat in 60 seconds. We're gonna see how many coins you can put in it in 30 seconds. I need more surface area. God, fuck. The clock didn't start. Why are you looking at what I'm doing? Your clock started too! 60 seconds! Three, two, one, start! Lacy just stung my ass. What's Pope doing over here? The precision is not there. It's going to be a type B boat. Aww, I had an idea. If we look like we know what we're doing. Thirty seconds! Oh, stop yelling at me! Yo, who gave this guy the timer? Hey, man, that's great. This could possibly work, or it can't. Oh no. Twenty four minutes, shit. You can bleep that word. What the fuck? When did you take origami? Sixth grade! Sixth grade! Like, this is what it is. And this is what it's got to be. It's a raft. It's a raft. Sustainable. You're going to get thirty seconds to put as many coins as you can in your boat. The winner of this round will get three points. Go! Okay, let's see if this even works. Oh! How many do we think, Drew? One. Two. Yeah! Three. All right. Four. Five. Stonewalling in there. Six. If he wins this whole thing... No, that's literally what I was thinking! It's sinking. Eight, eight, eight. Seven and a half. It's not really sank. That's way more than what mine's going to do. Nice, Drew.
