I have to put like a fucking trigger warning at the start of this episode.

0:02

It's just been constant talk about arses going through heads and decapitations.

0:16

Welcome to We Country One We've Gone Too Far, a podcast where the host of SoMillennial,

0:21

they communicate exclusively in memes and craft beer recommendations.

0:24

Oh, and the occasion you discuss music videos.

0:26

Say hi, everyone.

0:28

Hi, everyone.

0:29

Hello, everyone.

0:30

Hi everyone. Today we're still stuck in the 90s, but we're taking a very groovy, rocking detour.

0:37

Today we're sweet like a nice bonbon, we're fine like wine, we have the master plan, and we move our bodies to body moving by Beastie Boys.

0:45

Correct.

1:06

"Body Moving" was released in 1998 as the second single of "Hello Nasty",

1:10

the fifth studio album by Beastie Boys.

1:12

The song did relatively okay on the charts, reaching number 15 in the UK singles chart.

1:16

The video was directed by MCA, a.k.a. Nathaniel Hornblower, a.k.a. Adam Yock, a finding member of the band himself who sadly passed away in 2012 from cancer.

1:27

He also directed a large number of music videos for the band, including Pass The Mic, So What You Want, Intergalactic, Triple Trouble and Make Some Noise, but not Sabotage.

1:37

That was notoriously directed by Spike Jonze and its history is a whole nother well story.

1:42

I don't know the history of the Spike Jonze one, so maybe that's the future episode.

1:47

Anyway, back to body moving.

1:49

The music video parodies incorporate scenes from the 1968 Italian action film Danger, Diabolic.

1:55

It was released in two versions, censored and uncensored, with the censored version replacing

1:59

machine gun fire with a laser gun and omitting a comedic but bloody decapitation.

2:04

Nell, do you have a note here?

2:05

No, it did not for the job, because that's the only version I've ever seen.

2:10

And, you know, there was a censored version of it.

2:13

It's the part where we're reminded that Nelly is Bulgaria.

2:16

We didn't have decapitation.

2:18

We just had Euro trash.

2:19

We just...

2:20

I know what Euro trash is.

2:21

Oh, okay.

2:21

You probably have.

2:22

Did you have that?

2:23

I think that was your point.

2:24

I think the clue's in the title there.

2:26

We were all Euro trash.

2:48

Okay, so gentlemen

2:51

Yes

2:51

It is a good video

2:53

And it's a good day to

2:55

Discuss good videos

2:57

For once.

2:57

Good day to be alive.

2:58

So the video is from 98.

3:01

The previous video we discussed was from 99, I think, or thereabouts.

3:05

First thoughts?

3:06

I think this was just during the period of my life where I just watched MTV all the time.

3:12

It was just kind of on in the background.

3:14

So I hadn't thought about it in years until you sent it, and immediately it just came flooding back to me.

3:20

Yeah, I guess it was for me when I heard the when I heard it using Star Trek and then I sort of found the video through that.

3:28

I couldn't really remember like seeing it before.

3:31

So I don't think I actually watched the full video back when I sort of, you know, discovered the song.

3:35

But getting to watch it properly, actually, I really appreciate it now because it is actually a total banger.

3:40

Like both the song and the video, it's just a treat.

3:43

I didn't know, like it was relatively recent, like it was in the last year.

3:47

So when someone mentioned the danger Diabolico,

3:51

they never really made a connection that was an existing property

3:54

and that was actually basically remaking slash parodying that movie

3:59

or show, whatever it was.

4:01

It makes so much sense.

4:02

It makes absolutely perfect sense.

4:04

Because it's like, it feels so Italian in its vibe and its style.

4:08

It's cheesy, but it's very elegant.

4:11

It's cheesiness and calmness.

4:14

We should probably discuss what the video is

4:16

because there might be this chance

4:18

I don't know. It kind of starts

4:20

off like a heist. There's a guy

4:22

kind of, he's got the suction cups

4:24

and he's going up. Scaling a tower

4:26

or no, scaling a castle, which I don't know

4:28

how that would actually work with suction cups

4:30

but I'm not going to look into it too

4:32

closely.

4:34

See, the problem would have been

4:36

had it been a real castle made

4:38

of stone and masonry

4:40

or whatever and that's clearly styrofoam.

4:45

Yeah, most castles don't shake as you're climbing up them, I don't think.

4:48

Yeah.

4:50

So this hooded man scales a castle

4:53

and breaks into the chambers of the guy who owns the castle

4:58

and plants a bomb.

5:00

He sneaks in, right?

5:01

This is where it gets a bit patchy.

5:03

He sneaks in like a ninja.

5:05

Rather than pick the lock, he decides to just see for the safe.

5:10

Just blow that shit off the wall while the bloke's in the room.

5:14

So, I mean, that's going to wake you up.

5:15

But right, okay.

5:16

My first sort of, it's not really an issue with it,

5:19

but, you know, we've all got woken up by a phone call before, right?

5:22

Yeah.

5:23

Do you remember what you sound like during that call?

5:25

You've no idea what's happening because you've just been woken up.

5:28

This fellow wakes up to the sound of that explosion

5:30

and immediately starts a fight.

5:32

He's obviously highly trained because he's keeping his, what is it?

5:35

It's a recipe for teenage kitchen fondue.

5:39

There's a little card in the safe with a recipe,

5:42

which seems to be the sort of

5:44

MacGuffin of the whole thing is them fighting over this

5:47

recipe. What's that all about? So he's also really

5:49

highly trained and sword fighting to protect

5:51

this sacred fondue recipe.

5:53

And I'd also just noticed

5:54

he's wearing fluffy bunny slippers as well.

5:57

Yes.

5:58

They did show quite prominently.

6:02

Before we actually

6:03

move on, speaking of fondue,

6:05

has anyone ever had fondue?

6:06

I've never had teenage kitchen fondue.

6:09

Not yet. I've had

6:10

like real fondue in switzerland uh let me tell you they put alcohol in this what yeah they they

6:17

put uh wine usually i think to cut the to cut the cheese to kind of to make the consistency

6:25

fuck me i got drunk that night

6:29

yuck it is good but there's a reason why you can't have too much of it because it's both cheese and

6:35

alcohol and you usually also drink on top of it it's very much um it's a winter meal you don't

6:41

have it in summer because you can't die i'm very happy to know that i can get drunk off cheese

6:46

well you need to check the recipe of how to do it properly obviously not just like

6:50

dump a bottle of fucking lumbarino whatever i think i've only fast cheese idea

6:56

someone's probably tried that i think i've only ever had just sort of rip off fondue which uh

7:03

you know, probably it doesn't give you quite the same experience.

7:05

I actually thought, I never clocked the title of Fondue's thing.

7:10

I thought it was just tomato sauce.

7:12

Yeah, it looked like Heinz, 7 out of 10.

7:14

It doesn't look tomato sauce, yeah.

7:16

It probably is that, to be honest.

7:18

Like, IRL, I mean, what they used.

7:20

But yeah, so he sword fights the guy.

7:22

I don't have names for any of these people,

7:23

but like the main bad guy has a guard

7:25

who was asleep at the security camera.

7:27

Also, this is one thing about this,

7:29

so I'm about to get sidetracked,

7:30

this music video.

7:32

seems to be jumping through time quite a lot

7:34

because he's having a sword fight in an ancient

7:36

castle but he's also got a security camera

7:38

and so the security guard comes

7:40

in just in time to see the

7:42

main bad guy get his head chopped off

7:44

and then our hero jumps out the window

7:46

with a fondue. You did confuse me

7:48

did you get confused by that Nelly

7:50

because I felt like oh this must be like

7:52

olden days or a castle obviously this

7:54

I knew what was happening like when you do

7:56

security camera I knew all that so

7:58

I don't have the luxury of having seen it for the

8:00

first time. I know the video by

8:02

heart. I really do.

8:04

They don't necessarily have to be back in time. Maybe they just

8:06

like dressing like that. Maybe they're just kind of

8:09

cosplay, I suppose.

8:10

So wealthy.

8:12

I always read it as

8:14

this guy, he's just so extravagant that

8:16

his security addressed his old time

8:18

security. It's probably

8:20

like, it's when you're eight

8:22

like on nine, when you're like, wait, when you

8:24

watch the video for the first time, probably makes more sense to you

8:26

because you don't question this. You're like

8:29

just roll with it.

8:30

It's fine.

8:31

Everything's fine.

8:32

The guy then gets catapulted out the castle

8:34

and that's how we transition to potentially modern day

8:38

him looking more like James Bond now

8:39

or something similar.

8:40

Driving a car and there's a car chasing there

8:42

and a helicopter and they're shooting him

8:43

and he goes off a fucking cliff.

8:45

It's slightly more comic than that.

8:46

Slightly more.

8:47

I'm not doing it justice, but...

8:49

And then we transition to them on a plane

8:51

and another sort of James Bond-y thing

8:53

where the bad guy now looks like a James Bond bad guy.

8:55

Then they jump out the plane

8:57

and they have a fight in the air.

8:59

Yeah, plane blows up and then he just, they end up, goes to his cave.

9:02

Simple as that.

9:03

Yeah.

9:04

A fairly straightforward, easy to follow linear story.

9:08

Yeah, absolutely no issues, no problems with physics.

9:11

Everything is nice and tiny.

9:12

Everything makes perfect sense.

9:14

So rewind, let's rewind back to the star.

9:16

Let's go back to that lovely polystyrene castle.

9:19

So yeah, so let's, like, what do you want to talk about here?

9:22

Because a lot happens.

9:24

A lot happens.

9:25

I mean, the first thing that you see is like, it's literally like the suction cups thingies.

9:31

I don't understand suction cups.

9:32

Are they realistic in any way, shape or form?

9:34

Is anything realistic in any way, shape or form?

9:36

Yeah, those are actually, so I know this because I've bought a pair before.

9:41

Because you're a spy.

9:41

Because I'm a spy.

9:42

But no, those are used for lifting glass.

9:45

Oh yeah, of course they are.

9:46

Yeah, they wouldn't hold body weight.

9:49

I mean, they would hold glass, but you know, you would need like a couple of them.

9:53

You wouldn't want to scale.

9:55

a building with them.

9:55

Let's put it that way.

9:56

Or a castle.

9:57

You'd also need a smooth surface

9:59

for that to work.

9:59

I don't think a castle is...

10:00

Oh, you need glass.

10:04

You could probably try a skyscraper,

10:06

but you get halfway up

10:07

and probably regret your decision.

10:09

There's so much happening.

10:11

The first thing you see

10:11

the suction cups

10:13

and that suspiciously flat-looking

10:17

stone facade.

10:18

Next thing you see is this guy

10:20

who's our protagonist, presumably,

10:22

in a white costume.

10:24

full bodysuit and balaclava.

10:26

And it kind of begs the question of

10:28

in the middle of the night,

10:29

why are you wearing bright white?

10:32

Sometimes fashion trumps

10:34

practicality.

10:38

Judging by the fact that he

10:39

C4's the safe, like Nioh was saying

10:41

he's definitely more style over substance.

10:44

I'm going to do this in the most badass way.

10:46

I don't care if it's the most inefficient way.

10:47

It works, because he does it.

10:49

But then we see a room that is very, like, as you guys said,

10:52

It kind of has an old-timey feeling to it.

10:54

A full-poster bed where it's like kind of peace and all this nonsense.

10:57

And the guy who sleeps snickled up his nightcap.

11:02

Imagine kind of like a floppy hat with a fluffy ball at the bottom.

11:09

Imagine Ebenezer Scrooge would wear something like that.

11:11

Yeah, kind of this.

11:13

Do you think that's not appropriate, a comfortable way to sleep?

11:17

But restrictive, if you ask me.

11:18

For me, I find anyone who chooses to wear anything while they're sleeping insane.

11:23

Why would you turn down the opportunity to be naked?

11:25

I don't get it.

11:26

I'll put the question in a different way.

11:27

The thing is the most efficient way to sleep, something to sleep in,

11:31

if you are probably presuming you're going to get someone trying to heist through your bedroom.

11:36

No, probably not.

11:37

Although, where did the sword come from?

11:40

Did he have a little sword holster in his jammies?

11:43

No, there were two swords on the wall.

11:46

Was there?

11:46

I must have missed that.

11:47

I think there was one sword in the wall.

11:49

Maybe there was another sword with a...

11:50

Because there was a...

11:51

Oh, there was a...

11:52

A servo.

11:53

A mannequin knight thing.

11:54

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

11:55

That's where one came from.

11:56

But yeah, his sword is a bit of a mystery.

11:59

Maybe he sleeps with it.

12:00

Yeah, it must be...

12:01

Who doesn't?

12:02

It must be like the old...

12:04

Sleep with a gun under your pillow.

12:05

But he sleeps with a fucking sword

12:06

because he's that badass.

12:08

Yeah, maybe that's why he's wearing the hat

12:10

because that's kind of protecting his head.

12:12

Probably like a cave larmade or something.

12:14

I'm just picturing him bollock naked

12:17

fighting this ninja now.

12:18

I think it'll be terrifying.

12:20

So yeah, I think you're right,

12:21

I think you're sleeping in the neck

12:22

and then whenever you do get

12:25

attacked and assaulted,

12:26

you can probably scare them

12:27

off pretty quickly.

12:29

But the question is,

12:30

do you keep the hat

12:31

and the fluffy rabbit things on?

12:34

Oh, maybe that is terrifying.

12:38

Just fucking fully naked

12:40

and then the hat and...

12:41

So he didn't actually sleep

12:42

with the slippers on.

12:44

They were beside the bed,

12:45

so he put them on

12:47

whilst getting a sword and turning on the lamp.

12:49

It's pretty impressive.

12:51

Yeah, it's fine.

12:52

You just sleep out of bed,

12:53

sleepers are there,

12:55

grabbing the swords,

12:56

turn on light.

12:56

Maybe this happens all the time, Tim.

12:58

Maybe it's just that saw after the fondue

13:01

because he's just like,

13:02

oh, another one, put my slippers on,

13:03

get my sword.

13:05

Third time this week.

13:06

This is his version of

13:10

Enemy of the Weak,

13:11

of the episode.

13:12

In terms of sword fighting,

13:14

is the white suit that he's got on,

13:16

is that practical?

13:17

for sword fighting.

13:18

You've got to wear

13:18

whatever you have

13:19

lying around I guess.

13:20

Probably more practical

13:21

than your jammies so.

13:23

But they sort of do a dance

13:24

and fight in a really

13:26

in a way that's a bit

13:27

of a parody.

13:27

They dance around

13:29

he gets up on his

13:30

big trunk at the end

13:31

of his bed

13:32

jumps

13:33

which is quite funny

13:34

actually.

13:35

Rather than just go

13:36

straight for the gut

13:37

let's swipe the ankles

13:38

and miss.

13:39

Oh yeah he does all this

13:39

while wearing a monocle

13:40

which he sleeps with

13:41

but yeah then this

13:42

then Baldrick comes in

13:45

and sort of

13:47

startles the fight and then what happens next the guy gets pitted they kind of all look around in

13:51

shock i'm just watching now he's looking in shock and then and a hilarious like fucking clearly dummy

13:56

head just goes flying sort of in semi-slow motion across the screen just goes yeet the uncensored

14:04

version which is what we were watching uh it cuts back to the guy standing there with his hands up

14:08

going ah blood shooting everywhere and it's pretty good this video is the sole reason for me thinking

14:14

for way too long

14:15

is what happens

14:16

when you have a limb

14:17

chopped off

14:17

they just start

14:18

fountaining out

14:19

does it not?

14:20

no really

14:21

there is an immediate

14:22

splash but I don't

14:23

think it like

14:24

keeps pumping out

14:25

it doesn't do like

14:26

kill bill

14:29

I don't think so

14:30

like

14:31

because it depends

14:31

on the heart

14:32

and surely as soon

14:33

as the heart stops

14:34

I don't know

14:35

we need someone

14:35

who understands biology

14:36

which we don't have

14:37

anyone

14:38

well we do have

14:38

a scientist on call

14:39

well I'm just

14:40

a scientist on call

14:40

he's not prepared

14:41

about that

14:42

he's more prepared

14:42

about the physics

14:43

section of it

14:45

We've already

14:46

We can't overstretch Scott

14:48

On this one, too much science happening at once

14:51

Hold up, hold up

14:53

Okay he's getting overstretched

14:54

Can you just talk between us?

14:56

As Nelly talks to Dr. Scott

14:59

But yeah so I guess

15:00

Dave would you survive

15:03

Decapitation with only a scar?

15:05

I'd like to think so yeah

15:06

If this guy can do it I don't see why I can't

15:08

Because he literally comes back

15:10

In like seconds later

15:12

like maybe less than a minute later he comes back into the film with like a neck brace yeah it's

15:18

like he's sprained his neck but he was he was fully decapitated don't they say whenever you like you

15:24

lose a thumb or a finger so long as you like put it on ice and sew it back on really quickly

15:30

you can be okay so do you think you think if you just sewed your head back on it would be fine i mean

15:36

i guess if you did it straight away i guess you might be in a bit of a coma

15:40

Nelly, would you...

15:41

Your brain would have no blood.

15:42

Nelly, would you...

15:43

If you were to get decapitated,

15:46

your head was on ice for a little bit,

15:48

it was so back on within, I don't know,

15:50

20 seconds,

15:51

do you think you'd be all right?

15:52

Yeah, why not?

15:53

We can try if you want to.

15:55

Basically like the five second rule,

15:57

like as long as...

16:01

As long as you pick it up from the ground

16:03

quick enough, it's fine.

16:05

I presume in theory it's probably...

16:07

possible like just on the very very like high level theory might be possible but it would require

16:13

you know being able to just everything from the spine nervous system veins everything within like

16:18

seconds let's this is a bit too um a bit too violent let's let's move on realistic once we

16:25

have the decapitation and the blood is everywhere i i love the the sort of little um interaction

16:31

between the um guard and the ninja like they're both like oh oh something's happened this is this

16:37

This isn't what I thought would happen.

16:39

While the blood's just spewing out of the skull or sort of the neck.

16:43

And then Ninja yeets it.

16:45

No, he runs.

16:45

Sorry, he doesn't yeet yet.

16:46

He runs out the door and legs it up the stairs.

16:50

Oh, yeah.

16:51

And he's chased by the security guard.

16:54

But in that time, he's back.

16:57

He's alive.

16:57

So, I mean, this security guard's worth his weight in gold.

17:00

He managed to patch up his boss.

17:02

He stuck a neck brace on him.

17:04

But he still has the energy to run up the stairs with him.

17:07

So, I mean, I don't know what he's done.

17:09

I think this is actually in the future.

17:12

This is actually in the future.

17:13

There's some sort of nanorobots involved here

17:16

that have fixed his neck.

17:17

They seem to be fairly fast and looks

17:19

with what type of year they're in anyway.

17:20

So it may as well be the future.

17:21

Yeah, okay.

17:22

Let's go on the basis that it's set in 2025.

17:26

They've nailed down decapitation fixings.

17:30

Which will happen, obviously, in the next four months.

17:33

Yeah, that's it.

17:34

The NHS are finally funded enough to be able to do these sort of surgeries.

17:39

Actually, no, they don't even have to do them.

17:41

They just, your butler guard just can administer it like a CPR,

17:46

what do you call it, defibrillator.

17:47

To be honest, he's probably getting paid better than NHS doctors,

17:50

so maybe that's, he's an ex-NHS doctor.

17:54

He went to the private sector of henchmen.

17:59

Dressing up henchmen.

18:01

What's really, really funny is that they're defeated by a locked door.

18:06

So they've just managed to fix the capitation,

18:08

but yet the locked door just stops them in their tracks.

18:10

It's like science, movie science.

18:12

This is where it gets a bit confusing again,

18:14

because why is there a catapult on the roof?

18:15

This is part of their, they're very dedicated to the cosplay that they're doing,

18:20

where they're like, we are yielding Manor Lords or something.

18:23

Personally, when I eventually buy my own castle, obviously,

18:27

it will happen soon.

18:29

I will have trebuchets just across everywhere.

18:32

That's fun.

18:33

You never know when you need to deliver a package to someone.

18:36

Yeah, maybe even a couple of cannons just for the shitting goes.

18:41

Just to scare off the neighboring lords and ladies.

18:45

What's actually really fun about it, right?

18:47

I mean, I'm going through it frame by frame.

18:50

You can see the ninja as he gets flung.

18:54

I think his head connects with the actual trebuchet catapult frame.

18:58

And then a cut.

18:59

So I think actually the dummy must have got flung upside down

19:06

as its head connected with the frip.

19:08

So they would have been decapitated too.

19:10

Can we please make a gif out of that moment?

19:12

It is so funny.

19:14

Because a very quick cut to the dummy just going,

19:20

can we do a gif on a podcast player?

19:22

How am I trying to figure out how to do it?

19:26

Just lots of chapter art in a row.

19:28

when our main character protagonist is running up the stairs,

19:32

and he's like holding onto the stairs,

19:34

and they're rattling quite badly.

19:35

All right.

19:36

And I was just thinking like,

19:38

oh, he needs to see someone about us,

19:41

because that shit's not going to last very long.

19:44

The very important thing about hand-rears,

19:46

they kind of have to be stable for people to go up them.

19:50

It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with them.

19:53

They might be perfectly structurally safe,

19:55

but we don't know because they rattle like fuck.

19:57

That's a loss of wind to happen that one.

19:59

Yeah, always make sure that all your castles are being totally surveyed before you purchase them.

20:04

Totally missed that, but yeah, I look back on it, it looks terrifying.

20:09

Once they're on the roof, yes, our protagonist, antagonist, I guess, gets catapulted.

20:13

Do you think you would survive the experience of a catapult?

20:18

Obviously.

20:19

Depends where you land.

20:20

I mean, without a parachute.

20:21

If you land, it just kind of cuts to him in the car after that point.

20:25

He lands directly into the car.

20:27

It's a convertible.

20:28

Does any of you remember the movie Robin Hood?

20:32

Made in Dobson?

20:33

No, the worst one.

20:36

The actual Robin Hood?

20:37

Yeah, the one with Kevin Costner.

20:38

Because they have a scene where Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman get cut the boots into the castle.

20:44

Oh God, they do, yeah.

20:46

And they were funny, so I'm sure it's possible.

20:49

That is a documentary, isn't it?

20:53

Let me just see the physics here.

20:55

So they put it outside the castle wall.

20:57

They just sit on it.

20:58

Yeah.

20:59

And go, whee!

21:00

Here we go.

21:00

Just sit on that.

21:01

Oh, wow.

21:03

And then they land in hay.

21:04

That's where the Assassin's Creed stole the...

21:07

As long as you land in hay, you're fine.

21:10

So let's take the assumption that for this video,

21:13

our ninja landed in just hay because it's a castle.

21:16

There's probably...

21:16

Yeah.

21:18

If I can find a clip of that, I'll put it in the show notes

21:20

for listeners to admire.

21:21

I watched one of the last week.

21:22

It was really bad, but it was very funny.

21:25

Anyway, our protagonist is in a moving vehicle, which we have.

21:30

I don't understand cars, but it looks like a very fancy sports car, kind of like 60s vibe.

21:35

It's a Jaguar E-Type.

21:37

That's what it is.

21:38

E-Type.

21:38

Wasn't E-Type electric?

21:41

No, it was E-Type before electric existed.

21:45

A Jaguar Italian?

21:46

Made in Coventry, of all places.

21:48

Obviously, the most native area for Britain for Jaguars to exist.

21:52

This was probably chosen because the Aston Martin they probably wanted,

21:56

like James Bond style, was too expensive.

21:58

I don't know.

21:59

I might be wrong about this.

22:00

This just popped into my head.

22:01

Maybe James Bond had a license on using the Aston Martin as the cool spy car,

22:07

so you couldn't just use it in your spy movies.

22:10

I actually thought it was an Italian car because it would make a silly Italian sports car.

22:15

You would think so, but no, it's a British sports car.

22:19

Fair enough.

22:19

We used to make stuff.

22:22

we make podcasts nowadays

22:24

that's the same isn't it

22:26

yes this is a sports

22:29

podcast

22:30

our podcast is the version

22:32

of a 1960s Jaguar E-Type

22:34

yes it is peak performance

22:37

0 to 60

22:39

in about

22:41

half an hour

23:04

Yeah, so anyway, he's driving, he's a Jaguar E-type apparently.

23:08

And there's a helicopter that turns up.

23:11

The helicopter being driven by the bodyguard guy and the beheaded guy.

23:20

And he pulls out a whatever gun that hits him.

23:22

It looks like it's like a World War II machine gun.

23:25

Okay, sure.

23:26

Let's go with that.

23:27

We're continuing to jump back and forth in time.

23:30

Helicopter with a World War II machine gun.

23:31

That's the only thing they had access to in the 60s.

23:34

Because Italy was not an ally.

23:36

So they weren't allowed to have anything else.

23:39

Anyway, so they start shooting him with the machine gun.

23:43

Somehow, I don't know if that's feasible or possible or if it works,

23:46

but it works for them because they did hit the car,

23:49

and the car goes off into, very gracefully, off a cliff

23:54

and very, very slowly falls into a lake.

24:00

So, this is where it kind of twigs with me.

24:02

So, if you watch the trailer for Danger Diabolik,

24:05

I think this is just footage from that film.

24:07

Probably.

24:08

That's a good fucking point.

24:09

Yeah, because the trailer, okay, well, the thing that's the takeaway is that if you watch the trailer for Danger Diabolic, it's the exact same shot of the car going over the cliff.

24:19

Oh, right.

24:21

So they've sort of blended the two, I guess.

24:25

Yeah, that takes a lot.

24:26

Yeah, I don't know why they would use clips from the film, but I guess, you know, it's probably cheaper to use that than get an actual car over a cliff.

24:33

Yeah, chucking a Jaguar in the water is not cheap.

24:37

But it goes from bad to worse.

24:38

So, you know, he drives off over the cliff.

24:41

And do you think he would survive that?

24:44

Again, you know, decapitation, catapulting.

24:46

Would you, if going off over the cliff?

24:48

He doesn't get decapitated.

24:51

Oh, no, I meant just in general.

24:52

This is the violence so far.

24:55

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

24:56

I think in terms of surviving this,

24:59

probably because the car didn't fall very quick.

25:02

So maybe if he had a good seatbelt.

25:04

He could have got out and swum out.

25:06

He did have his window open, so he could have just swam out.

25:08

Oh, could have jumped out.

25:09

Yeah, just beforehand, yeah.

25:11

Okay, well, let's go on that basis.

25:13

He was captured, though, so he has an amateur.

25:15

Okay, so he must have jumped out before he went over,

25:18

then got captured and ended up on the airplane.

25:22

Yes.

25:22

So the airplane with the trap door.

25:27

I love that.

25:28

Okay, this is where the physics come in in question.

25:30

If he jumped out of a moving airplane,

25:32

I don't know what the minimum speed an airplane needs to be moving at

25:35

to not obviously, you know, fall.

25:37

But if you jump out of something which is moving below,

25:40

as soon as you go out, would you not just go like that?

25:43

So would you not just like hit the underside of the plane?

25:45

The physics are extra wonky because you see them fly past the window there.

25:49

Oh, yeah, yeah.

25:50

So they drop down, obviously, and then they're above the plane.

25:53

So here we go.

25:54

Okay, we have an actual physicist who's worked with the Large Hadron Collider

26:00

and has discovered many, many, many stars and planets

26:04

around the solar system with life.

26:06

So you need to speak into that.

26:08

Yes, it's a microphone, I don't know how they work.

26:13

No, it's mine now.

26:15

I'll let Neil do the question here.

26:17

I think you've got better grasp for this.

26:19

Okay, I have.

26:20

So we're going to ignore the other physics conundrums.

26:24

So jumping out of an airplane, right?

26:26

is what would be, let's say it's a normal commercial,

26:31

big 737-style plane that happened as a trapdoor.

26:36

If you were to jump out of that, I'd say cruising speed,

26:39

so what's it, like 500 miles per hour?

26:41

Yeah, that's pretty, yeah.

26:42

As soon as you exit the plane,

26:46

would you not just hit the underside as you're pulled out?

26:50

I mean, you certainly would feel a lot of wind

26:53

that would push you backwards a bit,

26:54

Because you're traveling at 500 miles an hour as well.

26:57

Like when you drop out of the plane,

26:59

you're also traveling at that speed.

27:01

But then you're just going to be hitting some air,

27:03

so you'll get some air resistance and some wind.

27:05

So that will start to push you back.

27:06

Although if it's a trapdoor,

27:08

there's nothing underneath the plane for you to hit,

27:10

and you're going to be falling as well as traveling backwards.

27:13

So there's no way for you to hit the plane, really, realistically.

27:16

Because there's nothing like,

27:17

there's no like landing gear or anything down or anything like that.

27:20

And you're going down and backwards a little bit.

27:22

You wouldn't hit anything.

27:23

You'd be fine.

27:23

Like, fine, as you've just jumped out of a plane.

27:26

Like, yeah.

27:28

You're now cold because it's cold up there.

27:31

There's barely any oxygen because you don't have a mask on.

27:33

Would it hurt being hit by the wind at that speed?

27:38

I don't think it would hurt.

27:39

I think you could probably get some,

27:41

I mean, you'd get some serious wind shear going on.

27:43

So it'd be like being out in a super strong storm.

27:47

Like, it would probably, you know, pull at your skin a bit.

27:50

Like, I don't think it would rip you to pieces or anything like that

27:52

because it's quite thin air up there as well

27:54

because there's less air pressure.

27:56

So you're going fast,

27:57

but there's less air that you're actually hitting.

27:59

So I think you'd actually,

28:00

in terms of that stuff,

28:01

I think you'd be fine.

28:02

Depends on what kind of jump you're doing.

28:04

Like an army line jump

28:05

where they're just like a bunch of dudes

28:07

jumping out really, really quickly.

28:08

Like the airborne troops and stuff,

28:10

they're relatively low.

28:11

They're not at like cruising altitude.

28:12

At some height,

28:13

you need an oxygen mask

28:15

and a bottle of oxygen

28:16

because you won't be able to breathe.

28:18

There won't be enough density of oxygen in the air

28:20

for you to actually breathe.

28:21

then you could die as you fall.

28:23

You would suffocate.

28:25

So there's a type of jump

28:26

called a halo jump,

28:28

high altitude, low opening.

28:29

This is like Black Ops teams.

28:31

This is like, you know,

28:32

Navy SEALs, that kind of stuff,

28:34

where they do like a cruising altitude jump

28:36

so they can jump outside of radar detection.

28:39

So they have to wear a full mask

28:41

with oxygen mask and stuff like that.

28:42

Will the white black lava work as well?

28:45

No, not quite.

28:46

No, the white black lava is not going to do anything for you there.

28:48

Just keep your face nice and warm.

28:50

Yeah, yeah.

28:51

So there are certain jumps you would do from that height,

28:53

but you need an oxygen mask,

28:54

because otherwise you're going to suffocate

28:55

before you hit the ground.

28:56

Or you might not suffocate,

28:58

but you would become delirious through low oxygen

29:01

and forget to open your parachute.

29:03

Were you asking something about the landing, nearly?

29:05

I'd like a good landing.

29:07

The guy when he lands on the ground,

29:08

and he's just...

29:09

He's fine.

29:10

He's just a bit tired, you know.

29:13

The terminal velocity for a human being

29:14

is about 120 miles an hour.

29:15

So that's what it would be like if you hit the ground.

29:18

You'd hit it at about 120 miles an hour.

29:20

The guy in this video who doesn't have the parachute, he hits the ground and just sort of goes like, plop.

29:28

Yeah, he just jumped off a step.

29:31

I hadn't actually spotted that before.

29:35

Oh, my knees.

29:36

Some people have survived with their parachutes broken and not opening after jumps.

29:41

But it's usually because they hit multiple trees that have broken their bones.

29:47

and the bones have absorbed the impact and they haven't died.

29:51

But they usually have to hit a tree or something like that,

29:54

or kind of bend as well.

29:56

If you're just landing on ground,

29:58

again, you're hitting that thing 120 miles an hour.

30:00

Well, it was a forested area at some point.

30:03

Maybe he fell through multiple legs because he fell on the rock.

30:07

No, the thing that broke his fall was the legs going into his skull.

30:10

That's what would happen.

30:13

Is your ass going through your face?

30:16

Is there anything else?

30:17

before I sent him away.

30:19

Sent the doctor away.

30:23

Thanks, Scott.

30:23

I think this has been

30:24

the most violent episode

30:25

we've had so far.

30:26

Yeah, I think we might have

30:27

to put like a fucking

30:28

trigger warning

30:28

at the start of this episode.

30:30

It's just been constant talk

30:31

about arses going through heads

30:33

and decapitations.

30:36

So, okay,

30:36

so we've reached

30:37

basically the end of the video.

30:39

The guy who fell

30:42

without a parachute

30:45

didn't go through his skull.

30:47

our protagonist

30:48

slash main character

30:50

he goes and

30:51

steals back

30:52

a recipe for

30:53

fondue

30:53

tell the fuck it was

30:55

teenage kitchen fondue

30:56

yes

30:57

that thing

30:58

everyone's favourite

30:58

so then he

31:00

he drives again

31:00

with

31:01

some girl

31:02

the same car

31:02

which apparently

31:03

survived and he managed

31:04

to fish it out

31:04

it's a different colour

31:05

it's a different car

31:06

it's the same car

31:06

but it's a different colour

31:07

he's had a backup

31:08

all along

31:09

ah

31:10

apologies

31:11

he just has a whole

31:12

he just has

31:13

a whole

31:14

selection of

31:15

Jaguars apparently

31:17

collection. So we see him

31:19

drive into the most 60s

31:21

slash early 70s

31:23

looking interior you could

31:25

always ever imagine.

31:26

Which I also suspect might be from that

31:28

diabolic nerve.

31:31

I think it's safe

31:33

to assume that anything that shows the actual car

31:35

is probably from the movie.

31:37

Yeah, I think it must have been, yeah.

31:39

We see him drive the car into

31:41

what we presume

31:43

is his butt cave. He drives around

31:44

inside the cave itself

31:46

which well done mate

31:47

there will be fumes

31:48

inside his clothes

31:49

space

31:50

then he parks

31:50

and he goes

31:51

and next thing

31:51

we see him in his apron

31:53

making the fucking fondue

31:55

cutscene

31:55

this whole thing

31:56

has been about

31:57

is to get that fondue

31:58

he has a single

32:00

he has a single

32:01

mushroom

32:02

on a fork

32:02

and he's like

32:03

dipping it in

32:04

is that a mushroom?

32:05

think it was a mushroom

32:05

am I wrong?

32:06

that was a meatball

32:07

all this time

32:08

that was a meatball

32:09

what mushroom do you have

32:10

in his coffin Dave?

32:11

oh yeah

32:11

it's totally a meatball

32:12

oh no no

32:13

it's a wee stem

32:13

you're a wee stem

32:15

if you go to

32:17

5 minutes 21

32:17

there's a wee

32:18

stem a bit

32:18

but it doesn't

32:20

matter

32:21

meatball and

32:21

or mushroom

32:23

meatball and

32:23

or mushroom

32:24

maybe it's a

32:25

vegan meatball

32:26

recipe

32:26

is it a

32:26

smouldering look

32:27

to camera

32:28

after you

32:28

lick the

32:29

fondue is

32:29

priceless

32:30

so I

32:31

appreciate that

32:32

just like

32:32

just licking

32:33

that

32:34

talk

32:34

in a very

32:35

very

32:36

concerning

32:37

slightly

32:37

sexual way

32:38

it would

32:38

explain why

32:38

he was so

32:39

desperate to

32:39

get the

32:40

recipe

32:40

if that's

32:40

how he

32:40

feels about

32:41

it

32:41

he would

32:42

fuck

32:42

that

32:43

sauce

32:44

yes

32:55

it has been an absolute roller coaster of emotions do you have any final points

33:00

it's a zany 60s adventure and it's fucking great it's a i don't this is one of the ones where i don't

33:06

have a worst part of this film of this video ever since pretty fantastic it's just a good old

33:12

sort of spy romp.

33:14

I think my favourite point is

33:16

when they jump out the plane, the bad guy

33:18

and the guard guy, or well

33:20

the good guy maybe, and the guard guy

33:22

jump out the plane. You see them falling down

33:25

and then it cuts back to

33:26

inside the plane and they're going like

33:28

horizontally across the windows outside

33:30

and it's just such a

33:32

disregard for physics, I fucking love it. Unless the

33:34

plane dropped significantly in that time

33:36

that makes no sense. And also

33:38

bonus points, the look on the

33:40

the main guy's face he looks like he's having just a great time this entire video and he probably was

33:45

but it is actually the band in the video isn't it yes yes they look like they're having a good time

33:50

um final points for me would be i i like a video which is based after something so i haven't watched

33:56

the film yet um danger diabolical but i think i'd like to try to source it and give it a watch just

34:01

to see if it actually just feels like a longer extension of this music video to feel like it might

34:07

be. You could probably watch that film with this on the soundtrack just on a loop. That'll get a

34:11

good vibe from it. Probably one of the best so far. Just because it's fun. It's fun and it just

34:17

doesn't take itself seriously. Favorite bit was the chicken just flying through the plane. Like

34:24

it just gracefully entered from the trap door. So that's another question. It didn't get,

34:28

it didn't explode when I hit the plane. Well, it did, but it exploded when it got inside the plane.

34:34

I just thought it was a bit ridiculous.

34:37

Yeah, like slightly nudges the guy

34:39

and he taps the circuit boards at the back

34:41

and they just all go electrical.

34:43

Speaking of health and safety issues.

34:44

That's a couple of loose wires there.

34:47

Yeah, it's a little bit dodgy.

34:50

And then I just dropped this one in as well

34:53

because it reminded me that I'll look at the end

34:56

when he tries the sauce.

34:58

I think he was a little bit like,

35:01

oh, jeez, this is actually awful.

35:03

um no yeah that's definitely not been swallowed it's in his mouth um and yeah no no worse bits

35:11

no worse bits even even questioning the dodgy physics it's it's it's fun it's not nothing

35:16

nothing was bad so i i love this video i love love this video so much um i love bc boys to begin with

35:24

i remember it when i first watched when i was eight and i loved it then and i love it now and i'll

35:30

continue loving it
