0:00:16 > 0:00:19Welcome to your quick blast of epicness.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22So, what are we waiting for? Let's do this!

0:00:27 > 0:00:30First up, have you ever wanted to do the moonwalk?

0:00:30 > 0:00:34Lucky for you, we've got this guy to help.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Yo, wassup? It's me, Turbo.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39I'm a street dancer and I'm going to show you the moonwalk.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42The moonwalk, originally known as the backslide, is one of the most

0:00:42 > 0:00:45iconic street dance moves. You have to know it!

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Er, that's why YOU'RE here.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51First off, start with your balance central and your knees slightly bent.

0:00:51 > 0:00:55# Knees bent, arms stretched, rah rah rah! # Is that street?

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Bend your right knee, putting all the pressure

0:00:57 > 0:00:59and weight onto your right leg.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03As you bring your right foot down you will slide your left foot back.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07- We're with you so far. - Then you switch to the other side.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Bend your left knee, putting the weight

0:01:09 > 0:01:11and pressure on your left foot.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13As you bring your heel down onto your left foot,

0:01:13 > 0:01:16- you slide your right foot back at the same time.- Easy!

0:01:16 > 0:01:19Then keep switching from right to left, and left to right,

0:01:19 > 0:01:23and with a bit of practice, you'll have it down just like this.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Look at Turbo go! This guy is owning that deserted skate park!

0:01:31 > 0:01:37- And THAT is how you do the moonwalk. - Good skills! Bad hat. Thanks, Turbo!

0:01:37 > 0:01:40Next, do you have bad breath? Nope, me neither.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44But let's say we know someone who does - this will help them out...

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Wink, wink!

0:01:48 > 0:01:50You... I mean, THEY, are in luck,

0:01:50 > 0:01:52because we have Dr Chris Van Tulleken

0:01:52 > 0:01:55from Operation Ouch to keep your breath minty fresh.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59- I'm Dr Chris and I'm going to tell you how to avoid bad breath.- Nice.

0:01:59 > 0:02:00Oh, not nice!

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Bad breath, or halitosis, to use its medical name,

0:02:03 > 0:02:06is usually caused by bacteria build-up in the mouth,

0:02:06 > 0:02:09- so it's essential you keep your mouth clean.- Yes, Doctor.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12The first thing you need to do is brush your teeth twice a day.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16Use small, circular motions on every tooth and don't brush too hard -

0:02:16 > 0:02:18- like this.- Every tooth?

0:02:18 > 0:02:21You might want to use toothpaste and water too.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Also, brush your tongue and the roof of your mouth.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Watch what you eat.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Some sugary foods can help bacteria multiply in your mouth.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Other foods can make your breath smell of that food,

0:02:32 > 0:02:35- like curry or garlic. - Mm, curry garlic breath!

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Make sure you drink plenty of water - dry mouths smell bad.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42And water is good for you, too. Bonus! Er, what are you doing?

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Floss every day to get those funny, smelly bits of food

0:02:44 > 0:02:47out from between your teeth. Eurgh!

0:02:47 > 0:02:49If you're talking to someone you've got a crush on,

0:02:49 > 0:02:53chewing gum is a must, but don't do it all the time, it's not that cool.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Unlike me.- If you've tried all this and you STILL think you've got

0:02:56 > 0:02:58bad breath, you need to go to the dentist.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02You should be doing that at least once a year anyway.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06Thank you, Dr Chris. My stinky breath days are gone.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10So, from bad breath to playing the bagpipes - the most epic

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Scottish instrument there is. But how do you play them?

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Hi, I'm Craig and I'm from Drums'N'Roses. I'll show you

0:03:16 > 0:03:17how to play the bagpipes.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Bagpipes are a very difficult instrument to play.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22You have to do four different things at one time.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Master that, and you can get everyone up to dance.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26First, you need to get used to holding the bagpipe.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29This is the bag and it goes under your left arm.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32These pipes, called drones, should always be over your shoulder.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35This is a chanter. You have your left hand to the top

0:03:35 > 0:03:37and your right at the bottom to cover the holes,

0:03:37 > 0:03:40very like a recorder and it's what makes the sound of the bagpipes.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42This is the mouthpiece.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46This is where you blow into to get the bag inflated.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48You move your elbow in and out to keep the air within the bag

0:03:48 > 0:03:51circulating, then you're ready to play.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Start off with something very simple, move your fingers up

0:03:54 > 0:03:57and down the chanter, and it should sound something like this.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Oh, wait for it.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01PLAYS BAGPIPES

0:04:05 > 0:04:07I don't quite recognise that one, anything else?

0:04:07 > 0:04:12- Then when you become really good, you can play Lady Gaga.- Oh, yes!

0:04:13 > 0:04:15HE HUMS ALONG TO PIPES

0:04:15 > 0:04:21# Caught in a bad romance. # Oh, I do love Lady Gaga.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25I tell you what, he's good.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28So, to play the bagpipes, make sure you've got the pipes

0:04:28 > 0:04:30or drones over your left or right shoulder

0:04:30 > 0:04:32depending on what hand you write with.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Inflate the bag, circulate the air with your elbow

0:04:34 > 0:04:38and play notes on the chanter which is like playing the recorder.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Nice and easy.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Once you've mastered the instrument,

0:04:43 > 0:04:45get your mates together and do this.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Nice nails.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57That's how you play the bagpipes.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01So, there you have it - your quick blast of epicness.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05Now, go forth and be epic - at everything!
