How to Rip a Phonebook in Half!
Psst... want the secret to becoming the WORLD'S STRONGEST MAN? Yes? Sweet. The secret is...
...hard work and years of training.
I know. It's disappointing. But that's only because you asked the wrong question:
If you were crafty enough to ask "What's the secret to LOOKING like the world's strongest man, but without any actual training or effort?" then you, my friend would have what it takes to enter "Strength School."
Welcome to the first of many episodes that will teach you how to FAKE your way into (almost) duplicating the feats of the world's strongest men. Your guest co-host and teacher is a former world-champion armwrestler and 100% genuine strongman: Dennis Rogers. Dennis has appeared on dozens of TV shows, holds numerous world records, and has been called "pound for pound, the world's strongest man."
...and lucky for us, he gets ticked off by all the strong-man fakers out there. Ticked off enough to share the secrets used by cheaters to fake authentic strongman feats.
In today's episode, we're going to learn how to prepare phonebooks and playing cards by baking them... making them brittle enough that even a weakling (like the host of "Scam School") could tear them apart with his bare hands.
Enjoy!
Oh, and if you actually want to BE strong, make sure to check out Dennis's instructional DVD's at dennisrogers.net. He has trained thousands of people to develop phenomenal grip strength, and (probably) can do the same for you as well!

Episode 42 - How to Rip a Phonebook in Half! [Discussion]
The tables are turned on Brian, as he is the student learning from the ultimate master of strength!
Watch and get scammed here.
The one thing that stuck out in my mind is that the "Strength School" overlap and title change seemed unnecessary. This is just the follow up to our normal Scam 101 classes.
Its like Scam School 110/ Applied Sciences.:)
Really? I liked that they did that, I thought it was a nice touch. The episode was great and seemed slightly longer as well, something that's been asked for a while.
I prefer the usual bar tricks than this episode, but I love the idea and want to continue. Perhaps 2 weeks for bar scams, 1 week street, 2 weeks bar scams, 1 week street etc.
Good work as usual!

I agree. I feel that it's still Scam School, so leave it at that.
I wouldn't mind seeing more street scams! Although, I still think Bryan needs a second show...

I think because there are so many scam schools, they should have it the other way round, 2 weeks street, 1 week bar, until they've caught up with the amount of scam schools, then they should swap it to 2:1 with more scam schools. Am I making snese?
I've done the phone book rip before by using that V shape trick, but it was badass seeing someone do it the real way.
Brian: Even though you used the baked phone book, didn't that shit just kill your hands afterwards? (it always did for me anyway) :cool:
Just bring a baked phone book to the bar!
I just realized, I am probably the first person to ever use that phrase :D
