Episode 16 Epic Quick Blast

Welcome to the World Of Epic,

the place you can become a master at everything on the planet.

No matter what it is, this programme shows you how to do it.

So sit back, strap yourself in

and get ready to become epic at everything!

Welcome to your quick blast of epicness.

So you're ashamed of your sandcastles?

Well, there is only one man you need to call.

Hi, I'm Blowfish.

Now, anyone could build a sandcastle,

but if you follow my instructions, you're going to build an epic one.

-Epic.

-This is the most important part, so listen up.

You need to get the perfect mixture,

so here's a Blowfish top tip.

I use one part water to eight parts sand

and I get some cracking results.

-A level-flattened base always works best.

-Done, what's next?

-Carve the sand using the best tool that you have...

-A spade.

-..your hands.

-Really?

It will allow you to sculpt the sand

and compact it without affecting its structural integrity.

In a what?

When you've finished, take a step back and admire your awesome work.

Now that's how to build an epic sandcastle.

Or a mound of sand with epic written in it. Thanks, Fish!

Now for something different

and this time, you'll need an invisible guitar.

The best thing about air guitar is that there's no rules...

Whoo-hoo!

-..apart from these three.

-Oh.

One is technical. You've got your basic strum...

..to your lick.

Strum, lick, got it.

Two is stage presence.

I'm better than you.

How's it going? Yes, I am.

Bah!

Go, Max, go!

And three is my elastic guitar.

This better be good.

And it is. Max Byrne, rock god.

Put them all together, this is what you get.

Rock-tastic.

-How's it going?

-I'm all right, thank you.

Thanks, Max.

There's still time for one more hit and this one's a howler.

Hi, my name is Shaun Ellis

and I'm going to teach you how to be part of a wolf pack.

What? Nooo!

As you can imagine, it's never easy to become part of a wolf family.

You can take the animal from the wild,

but you can never take the wild from the animal.

OK, wild animals are dangerous, but hypothetically,

here's how to go about living with wolves. Step one.

The first thing you have to remember when you come and join

a pack of wolves is you have to smell like them,

-you can't smell like a human.

-Done.

A good tip for this is not to have a wash,

not to wear strong perfumes or aftershaves.

Smell of them and the environment they live in.

OK, I'm stinky. Step two. How do we approach these furry beasts?

Wolves can hear your heart rate from some five to ten metres away,

so if you're nervous or upset or even angry with them,

-they pick that up very, very quickly.

-Uh-oh.

Each wolf has its own individual howl.

I have mine, they have theirs,

so it's important that you perfect yours.

Ooow!

Ooow!

NARRATOR COUGHS

Aw, I'll keep practising.

Step three, mealtime.

In order to live with wolves, you have to eat with wolves

and this can be a little bit of a messy business.

Hah, you should try eating round my mum's.

Don't be rude, Shaun, who's your family?

The individual pack members we've got here is Nataa,

the dominant male, the decision-making male,

Cheyenne, our dominant female,

she would make decisions on what to provide for the pack,

which in the wild would include this meal.

We then have Tejas, the black wolf over here.

He is the minder, the muscle in the pack

and it's his job to look after these guys and me, and in the wild,

he would lay down his own life to make sure that these guys survive.

Fair play. Now, what's for dinner?

Clearly you can see I'm not actually eating, grr...

Temper, temper.

..any of this meal, but I do have to be prepared to defend

what I would be eating normally.

That's a bit tense.

And that's how to be part of a wolf pack.

Thank you, Shaun, has anyone ever told you you've got a lovely smile?

So there you have it, your quick blast of epicness.

Now go forth and be epic at everything!
