Slow Motion Stories

Oh, hi! Dan, have you ever wanted to see your name in lights, big lights? Well, who hasn't, really? Yeah. Sadly, couldn't find any light bulbs but did find a load of det cord. ( theme music playing ) I love that we have that in the shed and not lights. And you used to use det cord in the Army, didn't you? - Yeah. - What's it all about? Well, basically, it's called a detonating cord. It detonates, right? About 6,000 meters a second. Which is super quick. - God! - So in the blink of an eye, it's gone...

Hello! Today we have the world's fastest card thrower. Oh! Oh! Dan: It just disappeared. Gav: It's like a knife did it. And a fast-draw world champion. Dan: Oh! That was so quick. Gav: That was very quick. - Hey, what's going on? - Hello, Rick. How are you? Good. What is your speed record? My speed record? Ah, I can throw a playing card over 90 miles per hour. What? No. Oh! Oh! Geez, I reckon I can throw a card. - Let's see. - Yeah? Yeah, let's see where you're gonna throw it. I'll just chuck it...

Hello! Welcome to the "Slow Motion Stories"! Gav, you ever seen in the movies when people deflect bullets away from themselves? Yeah. Mad skills. I wonder.. oh, yeah. Mad skills. - Ninja skills. - Yeah. I wonder if it's actually possible. I mean, obviously, for a human to do that would be ridiculous. But if someone somehow managed to hit the bullet with a blade, would it split the bullet? - I think it would. Because when you find a bullet that's been fired, it's always crumpled as though it was very soft on impact...

Hello! And this time on the "Slow Motion Stories" it's all about speed. You could say it's FPS versus FPS. Feet per second versus frames per second. - Genius! If not a little confusing. - Yeah. We've got Shaolin Monk throwing a needle through glass. Various styles of martial arts developed by monks of the Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin Temples is a Buddhist monastery in Henan province, China. We've got a quick-draw champion. And we're even splitting some bullets. ( theme music playing ) I always appreciate it when someone has an incredibly unique talent at one specific task...

Hello! Welcome to the "Slow Motion Stories" When we were deciding what to drop from our immense 80-foot crane, we were thinking of different items. You know, you got to pick something relatable. Something that everyone sees. Maybe something from a living room. And then I thought why don't we just drop a living room? Yeah. So here we are. I'm really quite impressed at this, to be honest. It's lovely. The lights even work. Well, this picture what? I may have sourced the pictures. Why is yours normal? That's not the picture I gave them...

Hello! Today we're up a hill with Maddie and McKenzie Ziegler. What's up? I was looking on YouTube the other day, Maddie. And we have, at the time of this recording, about 1.2 billion views total. The "Chandelier" video has 1.6 billion on its own. Well, thank you very much. That's 1.6 billion from one video. - That's just... - That is nuts. Thank you. Today we're doing something just completely ridiculous. We've got these rubber band balls. And we're just gonna roll them down this hill and cause some carnage down there...

Hello! Dan, what is in store this time on the "Slow Motion Stories"? Feel like smashing things. Breaking things up, all that stuff. - Yeah? - Yeah. - You want to talk about it? - Well... - A little bit stressed? - A little bit, yeah. Well, this week should be incredibly therapeutic for you. That's right. We got a plethora of items we're gonna drop from a crane to help us smash stuff up. Oh, might need a couple of brooms for this week. I think so. Well, other people will. I won't. Fair play. Hello, once again...

Hello! Welcome to "Slow Motion Stories" Today, we're at our super slow pool. Look at how crisp it is. - Very nice. - Very deep too. ( rolling r's) Crisp. ( laughs ) Remember those back flop posts we did? Yes. ( splash ) - Ow! - ( laughs ) ( screams ) We'll try belly flops today. - Okay. - But, with a difference. Instead, we've got, like, a forklift truck. We got a big ruler here that goes up to 15 feet. I mean, I've jumped from 15 feet, but I don't know if I can intentionally belly flop from 15 feet because that's gonna kill...

Oh, hello there. You've once again joined us having a spot of lunch. And as you know, the crew doesn't let us eat with them, so, here we are. Yeah, but we're miles away from the set this time. Well, I'll be honest, they said we can't eat on the set anymore. After what happened last time, they just don't trust me. Well, I don't trust you either to be honest, so... - I can't blame 'em. - It's okay, it's okay. But you know, there's nothing that could go wrong here. It's just a lovely nice day, the sun's out...

Hello! Welcome to "Slow Motion Stories." Dan, over the years, we've put you inside some very strange things, haven't we? Oh, I like being inside strange things. But usually, you're inside a strange thing just sat on the floor. - Yeah. - So, today, how about we shove you in this human sized inflatable hamster ball and use six fire hoses to lift you completely off the ground? So, it's almost like a very safe jet pack? Yeah. Well, I'd say mostly safe. - Oh. - Like, 70% safe. That'll do. - Yeah, check that off, good to go...

Hello! Welcome to "Slow Motion Stories". I've been into wrestling for a long time. - Yeah. - Right? Have you ever seen real lucha wrestling before? - I've seen some mental videos... - Yeah, it's pretty cool. ...of lucha wrestling. They just, like, jump off ladders, slam each other around the ring. So it sounds like we should get some super slow motion footage of two really hench, buff, muscular dudes lobbing each other around a wrestling ring. Well, I mean, maybe. maybe I should've gone to the gym a couple of years ago...

Hello! A lot of sports look fantastic in slow-mo, and there's a lot of athletes right here in California. - Convenient. - Unfortunately, today's athlete is in Austin, Texas. - Inconvenient. - Let's go. We're here today at U.T. on a basketball court because we wanna get some gnarly slow-mo footage of a slam dunk. - Yeah, thing is, though, I tried and I got about this far away from the rim with my hands. I couldn't get anywhere near. - Pathetic. - Yeah. I got about this far away from the net. Even worse...
