Speaker A
The crew have just arrived. Last time we were here, incredible experience. [music] Amazing. We saw the moment where we actually crapped it.
Speaker A
[laughter] Apologies everyone. The moment that the whip cracked. And this is the moment right here.
Speaker A
Moving. It's just asking to get today. Wow, you look like a sheep. We're going to hit all sorts of stuff.
Speaker A
We've got fire extinguisher, got a bank safe to try and get through. We're going to really just get our research on and find out what can this chain do?
Speaker A
Capable of? Bad day to be a Rexy. Check out the size of our new starting chain.
Speaker A
This whole chain weighs 180 kilos or something outrageous. Good hands. Very good. Good chain straightening, Aaron.
Speaker A
That goes boom and it pulls the end of the chain rapidly, that one, and then it gets it cracking somewhere. Where exactly? I don't think any of us knows.
Speaker A
This was the chain attachment point last time. It unfortunately meant the chain had to sort of deal with all this stuff.
Speaker A
Been relocated so the chain just goes. We were proud of your big brain here first hit.
Speaker A
Come on. Yeah, like that man is a genius. He's actually not that stupid. Phantom is set up. We have Rexy sort of somewhat middle of frame.
Speaker A
Time to face. Phantom's got the shackle out. Oh, knocked his head off. Yeah, we're on.
Speaker A
Hey, goes the weasel. It's pretty close to Rex. Oh. She almost. So we are whipping half the height of the barrel.
Speaker A
Yep. So I did take a photo of like the moment. So we're just going to try and dial Rexy right in. Basically, I'm just comparing those images. Got to go that way. Oh, hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
Speaker A
Wrong tree. Wrong tree, Scott. It's got to go this way. That way. Stop. That's very close. That's going to hit him right in the groin. Has anyone out there been whipped in the groin by your brother-in-law Ben?
Speaker A
Man getting whipped by whip. Yes, Scott. Do you got something important to say? It is actually quite important. The one thing I can't tell is yeah.
Speaker A
Depth. I can tell you that's a good one. I think we just have a go.
Speaker A
Ben is getting his jumper, isn't he? This jacket single-handedly broke our Phantom and caused an insurance claim.
Speaker A
We are ready on you, Jackson. Rexy hasn't moved from a whip. Yeah, he hasn't. His groin might just evaporate. Water evaporates, but really the groins.
Speaker A
[laughter] Has any groin ever evaporated? Oh! Oh! Good pop, Ben. That was so close. I saw it on the groin.
Speaker A
Rexy and his groin have not evaporated. Do you reckon we're talking plus minus 4 in 100 mil?
Speaker A
Honest, my like 93-year-old neighbor like pulls weeds like that. Ready? Yep. Oh. No! [screaming] Hey, great club.
Speaker A
Nick is gone. Also, how great in from above and just and then rocketed up.
Speaker A
Rexy is one lucky dude. That almost took off his jaw. We noticed there were a few comments in whip video one saying, "I don't know if I heard much of a whip." I challenged Joey and the crew to get a
Speaker A
directional boom microphone set up. And here we are. And here we are. What's the idea here?
Speaker A
Well, we thought the best way to capture the sound is to have somebody hold a boom mic really close. That was probably not a safe idea.
Speaker A
But, we have a mannequin in the warehouse, so we thought he'll hold it. Manny, the sound guy.
Speaker A
Barry, the boom operator is going around. Oh, I like that. Barry, the boom operator, apparently.
Speaker A
Bazza. Is there anyone watching this who knows who Bad Street Barry is? Comment below and just simply say I know who Bad Street Barry is.
Speaker A
[music] Some bizarre scenes. There are just some interesting things going on at the moment.
Speaker A
Like, "Look at this little tail." If anyone out there wants to use the name Socket, I'm happy for you to take it.
Speaker A
It is a strong, masculine name. Socket Gonson. Rolls off the tongue. Imagine him playing full forward?
Speaker A
Oh, Socket! Socket! [screaming] Socket, kick it to me! Sounds like a boy name. Oh, so if I did have a son, Socket Stamford would have been an option.
Speaker A
I'm ovulating. Yeah? I'm feeling it. Can you just fly into the door? Sport mode.
Speaker A
See you. Today is my day to get the timing right, 'cause I'm a manual release, and a true 3-2-1 should be a true [music] 3-2-1.
Speaker A
So, it is now on you. I'm going to fly around the tree. Okay, but you need to get the bunker 'cause we're tensioning.
Speaker A
Come with me. There is a wide incredible footage. Wow! So much could happen here. We've got the sound guy.
Speaker A
So many things. Boom operator Barry, we've got the door in place, we got Rex, we got Gonson on the FPV.
Speaker A
Heck yeah. 3 2 1 [screaming] We hit the door! And Gonson, an incredible image.
Speaker A
I could do that a thousand times and it wouldn't be better. That must have been close to Rex, 'cause the door got hit right near Rex.
Speaker A
We did something amazing, boys. Rex, Rex. Oh! Oh! What? Rexy's tail's gone. What? Did it get ripped off by the door?
Speaker A
Oh you. We've lost Rexy's tail. Of door also went, hey? Boys, we did learn the crack is this side.
Speaker A
First time ever. The avarta behind the chain. He calls three or five. Was he from five?
Speaker A
Five, four. I think I might have waited for three and three I'm going. And I hoop past the chain.
Speaker A
This thing goes. Chain's gone like coming under me. And then it's going out here. I'm flying. I swear to you when I get to about here, it's going like a bang.
Speaker A
There. And I didn't get hit. I thought at one point I'm getting taken out.
Speaker A
Thanks for that story, Jerry Seinfeld. Well, I don't know. I felt like Seth for half a second. I'm not sure.
Speaker A
Which FPV company is going to get behind me? That's what I want to know.
Speaker A
The Gornston signature series. Here it comes. Oh, where's the avarta? That's all I care about.
Speaker A
No, not really. Chain coming. Where is the avarta? Not in front of you. [laughter] My head was so much closer.
Speaker A
Hey. Hey, that's it doesn't mean it won't hook back. That's in slow motion. [music] It wasn't that good, was it?
Speaker A
[laughter] Keep hanging in there though, 'cause I do a better one later. One question I've got which would be interesting for the Phantom. Did it just annihilate the door or did it whip it?
Speaker A
Well, it's got that nice action. Oh. It did whip it. It's not that it hit it. It also went through it.
Speaker A
Yeah, straight up. Oh, look at look at the bit look at the door above Rexy.
Speaker A
I just slashed [snorts] that piece off, right off it. How powerful is the whip?
Speaker A
It doesn't slow down through that door at all. Boys, we got a vid right now.
Speaker A
This is strange. Me bro again, I'm knocking you out. We need to pick something else now. We need to put it in that same spot.
Speaker A
Maybe like fire extinguisher. Ooh. I think that was a direct slice. That is definitely his tail stuffing.
Speaker A
Thank you for losing some of your tail for us today. You can go sit on the bench.
Speaker A
There's a harshness to that that some people won't understand. Rexy gets kicked. That's part of his role.
Speaker A
Thrown around. He just gets brutalized. You know, he's he's not a human baby. No.
Speaker A
You know, you shouldn't kick them. Do not kick them. Do not. Kids, don't kick babies.
Speaker A
Or anyone. Don't kick unless you kickbox. That's probably the or UFC or something. We're going one extinguisher. We think it's basically in the same spot. Can we cleanly take out the extinguisher? That is the challenge.
Speaker A
I mean, the mouse trap hitting it didn't even really do it. 2 1 Oh!
Speaker A
Trestle. What came later? Something flew across the screen late. That's like a rock. Where did it go?
Speaker A
Did it pick up a rock at the end when it landed and flicked it back? Possibly.
Speaker A
Wow. Jeez, it shredded aluminum. Shredded ally. Oh, it hit the handle. It hit that bit.
Speaker A
Did this move? Did this trestle move? It must have been so fast to not move.
Speaker A
I hope the broom guy got that from this far away. Coming in hot at 10 power.
Speaker A
Oh! [screaming] Wow. Can you feel the heat, brother? Are you not entertained? Oh! Oh, it is moisten through, boys.
Speaker A
It's not a thing. What a still frame, Jukka. You're filming this stuff. I have just paused that.
Speaker A
It's so hard to do that to that aluminum table. That is insane heat. You know in movies when they hav
Speaker A
cuz it's just been so sharp. The chain's not a blade. It's not sharp at all.
Speaker A
We've literally put it exactly where the last one went. So, we'll learn very quickly in if we don't [music] know WHERE WE ARE?
Speaker A
[laughter] OH, YES. [screaming] YES. AND THAT IS A VERY GOOD DAY. RIGHT. WE GOT THIS DIALED. We couldn't break one of these things mouse trap with a with a bliterator with a bit of chain.
Speaker A
Thanks, Barry. Very brave. I'm the king of the world. It's good, isn't it? And I love our machine.
Speaker A
And our machine is accurate as. Scary accurate. Joey's nodding. You can see the fire extinguisher and and then you can't.
Speaker A
This is just a 20 Oh. We have to AGREE WITH YOU. OH. REAL-TIME HITS A NEW LIFE.
Speaker A
[laughter] YOU SEE WHY HE'S CHUCKLING? [music] ALL RIGHT. WE CAN TELL YOU what was done.
Speaker A
Wow. It's a perfect time of the crack, though. Like the crack happens this far from it, I reckon.
Speaker A
How many of those fire extinguishers would it if we pile them up that way?
Speaker A
Yeah. Like cuz then could you do five? And here it is. We had lunch then it disappeared. Hod pick it pent extinguisher stack. Are we getting through all five?
Speaker A
Let's find out. Cuz it's actually like layers of metal it's got to get through.
Speaker A
I'd say it's like 2 mil. Let's do it and see what happens. This wind is killing me inside.
Speaker A
Wow. A little bit dramatic, but it's very cold. [laughter] No, this is so cold.
Speaker A
I'm tempted to bring the Avada back out. You should. Might should. Have another go.
Speaker A
But change SD. Change the SD in case it gets destroyed cuz then you'll lose the footage.
Speaker A
Jesus, that's like a mouse on steroids. 3 2 1 OH! YEAH. WOW. HOW MANY DID WE POP?
Speaker A
DID WE GET ALL FIVE? OH, they've got pierced. Oh, this has been nicked up.
Speaker A
That's two. Yep. Yep, no we did it boys. Three four Oh, that one. NO.
Speaker A
OH! [screaming] GOT AWAY. DON'T DO IT TO DID IT DID IT DID IT JUST miss it?
Speaker A
That could be the lowest or the highest. Is that the puzzle? [music] [music] Yeah.
Speaker A
It just missed the first one. Yeah, bottom one got three. Wow. Look in the air.
Speaker A
No. He was three for three in the last vid. Quite a few people commented that.
Speaker A
They were like, I saw those catches here. Trying to work out what to hit next.
Speaker A
And we've had the idea, should we just do a community post to YouTube and say, do you want us to hit a boulder or a safe? And the winner [music] win.
Speaker A
When we do these posts, often within a few minutes the answer stays the same for hours.
Speaker A
What if it's 50/50? What does that mean? Why not both? Safe up to 56% to 44.
Speaker A
Ooh, wow. It's going to be hard to from now on. safe ready, boys. I'm putting my hand up saying safe, please.
Speaker A
How you say Oh, boys, it's running away. Now on to 59%. One to save.
Speaker A
Yeah, now it's official. We're doing the bank safe. If you are upset we didn't do boulder because it did look pretty juicy, not going to lie, let us know. We may sneak it into another episode.
Speaker A
Comment what you want us to whip, and we'd love some reasons. If you've got a question that you really want answered with that item.
Speaker A
Should we say we can only pick things that are commented? I can comment. [laughter] That's true. Someone actually suggested my booty as an item.
Speaker A
Get your comments in. We're going to get this safe in. Wiggle it in. We didn't get to it today, but we came up with like a nine-tail whip Yeah.
Speaker A
We could just do it for our own education today. So, do we do safe and then education nine-tail?
Speaker A
Just to spice up the curry a bit. Please pick up. Richard! [screaming] [music] Oh, bad connection.
Speaker A
Hello? We're out at the giant whip. Have you seen it? Yes, I saw it on the on TV.
Speaker A
NO, YOU DIDN'T WATCH TV, YOU NAUGHTY BOY. [laughter] You're breaking UP. IT'S NOT NO, YOU WERE NOT.
Speaker A
YOU CAN HEAR US. HEY, AND YOU REMEMBER THIS SAFE? It's just a cheap junkie safe, to be honest.
Speaker A
What normally would people use this for? Like, what do they put in there if they can open it?
Speaker A
Uh just just junk, to be honest. Grandma's photos, probably. [laughter] Do you sell these?
Speaker A
No. [laughter] Richard, how do we open it? Turn that key, and then try turning the handle.
Speaker A
I can't turn the key. Possibly the wrong key. [laughter] Okay, push A, 1 2 3 4, then B.
Speaker A
No, nothing. Looking at the handle. It's locked. I would whip it WITH THE CHAIN.
Speaker A
[laughter] GUNS AND HAPPY WITH THE PLACEMENT? Let's do it. We can always do it more than once.
Speaker A
All right, here we go. LET'S GO. HOW WAS THAT NOISE? PING. PING. WOW, he got hit.
Speaker A
knocked off the block. The GoPro went down, Rexy went down. OH, THAT WHERE THE chain went. Oh, smells like hate.
Speaker A
It does smell like hate, Gunson. Wow, deep impact. This is a bit fun, this, ISN'T IT?
Speaker A
OH. WOW. OH. LOOK AT THAT. WHAT HAVE WE BUILT? That's very thick steel, very thick.
Speaker A
Jackson was like, I reckon to replicate that damage on the trestle, you'd need 50 cal gun.
Speaker A
Yeah. Ooh. I just want to know how that happened. Oh. We lost a lot of energy to the trestle.
Speaker A
I'm getting some links to just be on the ground there. we need to drop it down?
Speaker A
Can we just put it on the ground? The chain's actually getting longer, even though we're losing links.
Speaker A
As each whip happens, it's just pulling out like Stretch. Yeah, well, even if everyone stretches by a couple of millimeters.
Speaker A
It all adds up. Look at that back support. Wow. That's not going anywhere. [laughter] That block is going to get sent.
Speaker A
I was like, we maybe we should get some back support. Next minute I'm like We're good.
Speaker A
Ooh. Not sure. There's chain lodged in the front, I think. The stone's been BLOWN AWAY.
Speaker A
OH. [laughter] IT'S WARM. OH. BANG. WHAT IS THAT? WHAT? THAT IS going on the shelf.
Speaker A
going on the shelf, for sure. melted like welded into place. Geez. Yeah, it's like squished it.
Speaker A
Well, that is just what Whoa. into the depths of the abyss. Punched a clean hole in it.
Speaker A
Wow. Fireworks. New sparks. LONG-TERM SPARKS. OH, IT'S like a muzzle flare. Bang. Muzzle flash.
Speaker A
Boom. Boys, if we had lots of flammable gas around that, it would ignite. Do we need to hit a gas bottle?
Speaker A
Do we need to hit a Yeah. About to add this to the end. So, instead of one chain, we got nine now shackles on the end. Totally untested, but we're going for it.
Speaker A
This could be the loosest thing we've ever done. We're going to finish off with this shot.
Speaker A
is the end. In some ways, it's also the beginning. Oh. Of the next video.
Speaker A
Pandora's Box open. Nailed it. Three, two, one. Oh. Oh, it did a backflip. Look at Josh.
Speaker A
It did DO A BACKFLIP. WOW. THAT HAS PUT A LOT OF hurt on that.
Speaker A
The hurt locker. I don't think I see any shackles. The shackles are gone. [laughter] That's so good.
Speaker A
They were there, now they're not. Well, something's going to happen. [laughter] That's so good.
Speaker A
Josh, it looks like All the shackles are gone. Next question. Who thinks that the shackles made it to the safe?
Speaker A
Oh, few. A few. Could they still be lodged? Are they lodged? Oh, and they're bent.
Speaker A
No. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's a That's a That was a big shacky.
Speaker A
Look how thick the steel is. The shackles? Yeah, look at them all. But look at that pin there. Like this is not a whip We've lifted a little heart from this.
Speaker A
We've lifted this. Last shot of the day everyone, enjoy it. Hey, don't watch this unless you share this video with someone.
Speaker A
Ah. You're in trouble with me otherwise. Oh, flushed it. Hey, not bad. Maybe what happened boys is the speed was a lot slower.
Speaker A
Oh, cuz it's too heavy. Yeah, like it didn't whip. That's horizontal right there. Yeah.
Speaker A
[laughter] He tipped him up. That's good. That is just knocked him clean over. Yeah, let's not snooze on the fact that we just flipped the safe with a whip.
Speaker A
[laughter] 44 club. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. Brett wants to say something more. Don't forget, get your suggestions in.
Speaker A
You might have held on the the pause button and just wanted to watch the video out before commenting.
Speaker A
Comment what we should do with the whip next, what we should hit, what we should nine tail.
Speaker A
How we can nine tail. How we can nine tail. If you're a smarty pants and you want to email us some advice, feel free.
Speaker A
Go to our website. Love you both. [laughter] Want to say a big thank you to the sound guy.
Speaker A
Has not dropped his arms all day. Literally, like you know in the Bible when you're like keep the arms up and we're winning the battle, like with him on our team, we would have won.
Speaker A
We could maybe whip him next fit.
