0:00:01 > 0:00:03This is the World of Records!
0:00:05 > 0:00:09# Biggest shoe! Weirdest face! Fastest loo! Tightest space!
0:00:09 > 0:00:12# Longest snake! Smallest van! Heaviest cake! Tallest man!
0:00:12 > 0:00:14- # Longest ears on a dog!- Awww!
0:00:14 > 0:00:16# Most poisonous frog!
0:00:16 > 0:00:19- # And a woman with a beard!- What?!
0:00:19 > 0:00:21# Officially, officially, officially...
0:00:27 > 0:00:31All aboard! Welcome to another burst of Officially Amazing.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35I'm Ben Shires and over the next half hour I'll be conducting you
0:00:35 > 0:00:37through some of the coolest, craziest
0:00:37 > 0:00:41and most downright dangerous records and record attempts there are.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45The reason I'm stood in front of this bus is because this man
0:00:45 > 0:00:48right here is going to be pulling this bus right here
0:00:48 > 0:00:49using only his teeth.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51# Hallelujah! #
0:00:51 > 0:00:55And if that's not enough to sink your teeth into - I thank you! -
0:00:55 > 0:00:58we've got all these other jaw-dropping treats coming up.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Today, you lucky people get to witness some incredible
0:01:03 > 0:01:06official Guinness World Records, including...
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Not only does this guy have an ace up his sleeve, but he's going
0:01:09 > 0:01:12to try and throw it higher than anyone's ever done before.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Sizzling Steve is primed and ready for another record
0:01:17 > 0:01:20as he attempts to build a giant pyramid of cups.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22It's another one you can try at home. Go, Sizzler!
0:01:23 > 0:01:27And Harkuka's in Japan to meet a record-breaking robot that's
0:01:27 > 0:01:29way ahead of its time.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30But before all that,
0:01:30 > 0:01:34a record attempt involving a man pulling a bus with his teeth.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Or maybe pulling all his teeth out trying to pull a bus. Who knows?
0:01:38 > 0:01:39It's...
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Igor Zaripov is so strong that he only needs to wear shorts
0:01:52 > 0:01:54and a vest in the middle of a British winter.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Thankfully I've got a stupidly large bow tie to keep me warm.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Anyway, Igor's performed in circuses for over 20 years
0:02:01 > 0:02:04and he regularly undertakes feats of incredible human strength,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06many of which involve using his teeth.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11And today's challenge is no exception.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Igor, even I'm having my doubts that you can actually pull this bus
0:02:15 > 0:02:17just using your teeth.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18Do you really think you can do it?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20I'll do my best.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I will give you one piece of advice.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- It's be kind to your teeth, cos they've got- fillings- too.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I guess you'll have to go to the dentist after this
0:02:29 > 0:02:30and get your teeth checked out?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Maybe ask for a new set?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- I have a good workout for the teeth I do every day.- OK.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38It's not just Igor's teeth that need to be in peak condition
0:02:38 > 0:02:40for this Guinness World Record attempt.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43He's been putting his entire body through its paces in the gym
0:02:43 > 0:02:46in preparation for pulling that double-decker bus.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Igor needs great upper-body strength for support during the pull.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52As well as his jaw, his legs,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55back and arms will all be under a huge amount of stress.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Seeing as I'm dressed for the gym, I may as well pump some iron too.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01I mean 40kg, it can't be that hard, can it?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03GRUNTS
0:03:03 > 0:03:05All right, it can.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08All right, I think we've proved that that is hard enough.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Igor's going to do this with his jaw.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Yes, OK, he can lift the same weight with his teeth.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I was having an off day.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23In a training session like this,
0:03:23 > 0:03:28Igor will lift a total of up to 725kg!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30That's about the weight of a large polar bear.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Hiya!
0:03:32 > 0:03:35But that's nothing compared to this 14-ton bus,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38which Igor will try and pull with his gnashers.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39That is incredible!
0:03:39 > 0:03:42We'll find out how Igor gets on later,
0:03:42 > 0:03:44but first, Haruka is about to meet the result of years
0:03:44 > 0:03:49of technological development and some nifty work with a screwdriver.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51It's...
0:03:56 > 0:03:59We've all seen the movies of robots taking over the world, right?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02But we also know that it can never actually happen.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Wrong!
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Of course I'm only joking, but here in Japan people love robots.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18And this is a very special one with extraordinary capabilities.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Konichiwa.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21You must be ASIMO.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Pleased to meet you. I'm Haruka.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Hello and welcome, Haruka!
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Let me show you around. - Great, thanks.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33This is not a man in a robot costume
0:04:33 > 0:04:35looking like he needs to go to the toilet,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37this is an actual robot called ASIMO,
0:04:37 > 0:04:41who can do a variety of incredible human actions.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44It's the result of brilliant engineering
0:04:44 > 0:04:47and was designed to help people with daily tasks.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Essentially it can do really cool stuff, like this.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57And it can even do sign language.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02Ben, I think it's saying you looked a massive wimp in the gym just now.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- You what?!- Nothing. Is there anything this robot can't do?
0:05:06 > 0:05:11As well as being programmed to help people, it's not all work for ASIMO.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13He knows how to play too.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I'm going to take you on in a game of soccer.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20'Soccer?! I don't do soccer. This is going to be bad!'
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- AL:- Well, hello, everyone!
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Ben and I are here to commentate on the human vs robot soccer final.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- WHISPERS:- Ben, I have no idea what soccer is.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Well, clearly, because it's football, Al, it's football.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Not soccer. Anyway, here comes Haruka for the first shot.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- Even I know that's bad.- See? I told you I don't do soccer!
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Indeed. But look at its face.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44It can't even bring itself to clap properly.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Next up, and proudly representing robotkind, it's ASIMO.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53It might only be 4'3 tall,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56but what it lacks in size it makes up for in firepower.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Look at that!
0:05:59 > 0:06:04- I believe that's the back of the goal thingy, you know?- Net, Al. Net!
0:06:04 > 0:06:06What is?
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Oh, never mind.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15- So it's human, nil, robot one.- Yeah, OK, boys, thanks for the commentary.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17You can go now.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Now, ASIMO's talents aren't just limited to good coordination.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23This little fella also has speed.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27In fact, he currently holds the record for the world's fastest
0:06:27 > 0:06:28humanoid robot,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31running at speeds of up to five miles per hour.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34OK, ASIMO, san, ni, ichi!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38And he's off! Look at that!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I don't know about you but I have to see that again.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53It's taken years to get robots to even move,
0:06:53 > 0:06:55and this one's running like a human!
0:07:01 > 0:07:05It's a regular Usain Nuts and Bolts!
0:07:05 > 0:07:06That's all from me,
0:07:06 > 0:07:10but I look forward to demonstrating some new skills next time we meet.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- AL:- Wow! The sooner I can get one of these things to help me
0:07:12 > 0:07:14clean up my house, the better.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Now, here's a question for you - how do you make a grown man cry?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Well, if it's Ben, you make him do something...
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Roooaaaarrrr!
0:07:28 > 0:07:31We're in Las Vegas, and the reason we look a little scared is
0:07:31 > 0:07:34because that is the Stratosphere Tower.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38The world's highest controlled descent.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41That basically means it's the highest tower in the world
0:07:41 > 0:07:44that you can jump off with a safety harness.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46So not only is it officially amazing,
0:07:46 > 0:07:49but it's going to help Ben get over his fear of heights.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Oh, it's really, really high.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55No kidding, Ben. Ten out of ten for observation.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58'Yeah, and 11 out of ten for fear!'
0:07:58 > 0:08:01That's awful. That is absolutely horrible.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03'I'm all right with spiders, I don't mind snakes.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07'I can even kiss my granny, but heights absolutely terrify me.'
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Well then, Ben,
0:08:08 > 0:08:12you'll be pleased to know that the top of this beast is
0:08:12 > 0:08:13350m off the ground!
0:08:15 > 0:08:18That's a bit like 87 of Igor's double-decker buses
0:08:18 > 0:08:21stacked on top of each other.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Better still, when you get to the top, you can jump off!
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I think it's probably closed today, Al. Shall we just go?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Come on, Ben, this is a world record you can actually experience.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34You can conquer your fear and I get to make fun of you.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Where's your sense of adventure? - To be honest, it's back home in England.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Hold my hand.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Let's do this.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Blood brothers.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47Awww... Would you look at that? I'm there for you, Ben.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Just wait till we get to the top! Heh heh!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Primarily, I'm afraid of heights, so this would be on my list
0:08:54 > 0:08:57of things I'd never, ever want to do in my life.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Someone clearly thought leaping off a giant tower might be
0:09:01 > 0:09:02the perfect cure.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Thank you so much for that(!)
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Luckily, my fearless buddy Al is going to be jumping first.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10'Ben, we got to check this thing out.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13'It's not officially amazing until we say so.'
0:09:13 > 0:09:15'All right, it's amazing. Can we go?'
0:09:15 > 0:09:18'Shh, Ben. Daddy's going to jump now.'
0:09:18 > 0:09:20No turning back.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Ohhhhh!
0:09:25 > 0:09:30Once you've jumped, it takes just 17 seconds to reach the ground.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31This is officially amazing!
0:09:31 > 0:09:36Gravity is pulling me down and I'm travelling at speeds of up to 40mph.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38But this clever machine controls my drop,
0:09:38 > 0:09:40so I feel like I'm free-falling to start with,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43but then slow down, before landing gracefully
0:09:43 > 0:09:44like a swan at the bottom.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Well, sort of. Come on, Benny boy, step right up!
0:09:49 > 0:09:51'I'll be totally honest, Al,
0:09:51 > 0:09:54'stepping right up is the last thing I want to do right now.'
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I am absolutely terrified.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I can't describe any other emotion right now.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02My good friend, Ben, is about to jump off of this.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04He's scared of heights which makes me
0:10:04 > 0:10:06even happier that he's doing this.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08OK, I feel horrible, awful.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- I feel awful.- Take a step outside for me.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Nice and safe, man. One step at a time.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16DRAMATIC CHORAL VOICES

0:10:37 > 0:10:40- AL:- 'Hang on, I got to see that again!
0:10:40 > 0:10:44'There he goes! Calm, relaxed...
0:10:44 > 0:10:47'Ben is none of these things. But wait a second.'
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I can't believe I'm doing this! This is Vegas, baby!

0:10:58 > 0:11:03Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Oh! Oh!
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I loved it. I absolutely loved it.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I don't know if these are tears of altitude
0:11:07 > 0:11:09or joy or fear or whatever.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12So, what do you say, round two, ready to jump again?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Um, let's not be too hasty.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18'Right, that's enough of me wailing like a banshee for one show.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20'Time for someone else to break another record in...'
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Officially...- Record hungry.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24ROAR! Whoa!

0:11:28 > 0:11:31There are some people in this world who have an unhealthy
0:11:31 > 0:11:37appetite for cereal... Not that kind! I mean SERIAL record-breaking.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39For some, it's all about daredevil stunts where their life
0:11:39 > 0:11:43hangs in the balance. But not this man.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45This lean, mean, record-setting machine is all about
0:11:45 > 0:11:49the world records he can achieve from the comfort of his own home
0:11:49 > 0:11:52and you know what that means - you too can try them.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55He's called Steve, he sizzles, it can only be -
0:11:55 > 0:12:00it MUST be, Sizzlin' Steve!
0:12:00 > 0:12:03And today, he's going to be hopefully constructing
0:12:03 > 0:12:07a record that will tower over all others when he attempts to
0:12:07 > 0:12:11build the tallest plastic cup pyramid in 30 minutes.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13So talk us through the technique.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Get one plastic cup, put one next to it, put one on top of it,
0:12:17 > 0:12:18simple as that.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Sounds easy, but then Steve's been dreaming of this record for years.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25To try this Guinness world record yourself,
0:12:25 > 0:12:29you'll need several hundred plastic cups, a kitchen floor,
0:12:29 > 0:12:33a lot of patience and ideally, no drafts.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37If he wants to be crowned the new King of Cups, Sizzlin' Steve
0:12:37 > 0:12:42needs to beat the current record of 652 cups stacked in half an hour.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44These are the rules:
0:12:44 > 0:12:46No glue or tape allowed,
0:12:46 > 0:12:47he can use both hands
0:12:47 > 0:12:50and Steve must build the correct pyramid shape.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53It's almost time,
0:12:53 > 0:12:58as Sizzlin' Steve prepares his cups...and focuses his mind.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Tension is high, Sizzlin' Steve is down low.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06I think it's time to do this. OK, let's put 30 minutes on the clock.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Thank you. Adjudicator Claire is here to monitor Steve's stacking.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Three, two, one...go!
0:13:13 > 0:13:15DANCE MUSIC PLAYS
0:13:15 > 0:13:18'And he's off to a blistering start.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21'Steve's aim is to start with a square base
0:13:21 > 0:13:24'adding a layer at a time before finishing with one cup at the top.'

0:13:37 > 0:13:41'That's not a yawn, no. That, my friends, is a silent cheer.'
0:13:43 > 0:13:47This one-man stacking machine has been going for about 15 minutes now.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51This takes truckloads of patience and concentration,
0:13:51 > 0:13:52which makes it really slow,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55unlike some of the other cup-stacking records
0:13:55 > 0:13:58that are really fast. Check this out.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02This is sport stacking. It's incredible.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07And no, we haven't sped this up.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10APPLAUSE
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Nor have we sped THIS up!
0:14:12 > 0:14:16However, Sizzlin' Steve's on fire with his pyramid build.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21Just look at this kitchen creation. Surely the record is his? Or is it?

0:14:42 > 0:14:43But first, Haruka wants to see
0:14:43 > 0:14:46if you can guess how this next guy got his next record in...
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Officially...- What?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Today's "Officially What?" stars this man.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Jay Sloot from Australia.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00The question is what makes him a Guinness World Record holder?
0:15:00 > 0:15:05Well, it's something to do with his face. Looks pretty normal to me.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08But does this man have the world's biggest flared nostrils?
0:15:08 > 0:15:13The world's widest tongue? Or can he do the most ear flaps in a minute?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Ewwww!
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Well, there's your answer. This is the world's widest tongue.
0:15:20 > 0:15:26Look at it, it's bigger than my face! It measures 7.9cm.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I wonder if he also has the record for envelope-licking.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31You might think that the world's biggest tongue would be found
0:15:31 > 0:15:34in the world's widest mouth, but you'd be wrong.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37The world's biggest cakehole belongs to this man,
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Francisco Domingo Joaquim from Angola. Wow!
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Francisco can stretch his jaw of awe to a wacky width
0:15:44 > 0:15:49of 17cm. I dread to think what happens when he yawns!
0:15:49 > 0:15:52And I think he probably uses a broom instead of a toothbrush.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56OK, then, here's hoping Sizzlin' Steve has made progress
0:15:56 > 0:15:59while we've been examining these mighty mouths.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02'Thanks, Haruka, and welcome back, everyone
0:16:02 > 0:16:05'to our record-hungry Steve in his kitchen in Portsmouth.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09'When we left him, he had just nine minutes to go.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11'But then disaster struck.'
0:16:11 > 0:16:15To a mere mortal, that would be a setback.
0:16:15 > 0:16:22Not to Sizzlin' Steve. One man, one plan. Build a big pyramid of cups.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26'Now, he's rebuilding but time is not on The Sizzler's side.'
0:16:28 > 0:16:30'With just 30 seconds left,
0:16:30 > 0:16:34'can he set a new world record for the tallest plastic cup pyramid?'
0:16:34 > 0:16:39- CLAIRE:- Five, four, three, two, one.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Well, that's the 30 minutes done.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46- Sizzlin' Steve, how do you feel it went?- Badly.- Really, why is that?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I just had a fall halfway through it and I couldn't recover from it.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Let's not be too down about it just yet.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Get the official word from adjudicator, Claire.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- Claire, how did he do? - The record to beat was 652.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03At the end of your 30 minutes, you had stacked 823 cups...
0:17:03 > 0:17:04TRIUMPHANT MUSIC
0:17:04 > 0:17:05VINYL SCRATCHES
0:17:05 > 0:17:08..but I'm afraid it was not the pyramid that we required.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I'm sorry, no record this time.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13'So, a valiant effort from The Sizzle-Meister.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18'Sadly, though, the pyramid was not...um, a pyramid shape. Downer!
0:17:18 > 0:17:21'But Steve will be back soon trying to smash more world records
0:17:21 > 0:17:22'from his house.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25'Let's go back to Igor now to see if his mighty molars
0:17:25 > 0:17:27'can get him into the record books in...'
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Officially...strong!
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- Ah, phew!- Part Two.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35BOY SCREAMS, GIRL LAUGHS
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Russian circus strongman, Igor Zaripov,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40is trying to set a new Guinness World Record for the heaviest
0:17:40 > 0:17:45- road vehicle pulled by his teeth. Not those!- Oi!- Sorry, Dave.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49And they don't come much heavier than a 14-ton bus.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52He's trained over many months for this record attempt but Igor
0:17:52 > 0:17:55has never actually pulled something this big with his teeth before.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Does he have the mental - and dental - strength?
0:17:58 > 0:18:03Supporters are gathering hoping this man and his mouth will make history.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- Igor, are you ready?- Yes. - Guys at home, are you ready?
0:18:07 > 0:18:13Good. Well, three, two, one, pull that bus!
0:18:13 > 0:18:15DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS
0:18:15 > 0:18:16'OK, here we go.'
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Oh, I actually do feel some movement.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24That could just be my breakfast but I think Igor's doing it.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25MUSIC FADES
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- It's on brakes.- Still on brakes. - I was told the brake's off.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Is everything off? Where's the bus driver?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34So, we had a little dilemma there,
0:18:34 > 0:18:37we thought the brake might still be on, but it's not. Luckily.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39So, we're still going, Igor's...
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- IGOR GRUNTS - ..we're making some headway.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42DRAMATIC MUSIC RESUMES
0:18:45 > 0:18:46Just looking at Igor's face now.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48There's absolute strain etched there.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51You can only imagine what this is doing to his teeth.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Go on, Igor!
0:18:53 > 0:18:55CHEERS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Come on, come on. Dig in.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00'Ooh, Igor's losing his footing there.'
0:19:01 > 0:19:03'The bus IS rocking
0:19:03 > 0:19:08'but he's got to get it a whole five metres over that yellow line.'
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- Go on, Igor!- It's not.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16'Something's not right. Igor isn't happy.'
0:19:16 > 0:19:17One sec.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23'He's come all the way from America to pull a double-decker
0:19:23 > 0:19:26'five metres...and he's still got five metres to go.'
0:19:28 > 0:19:30'Whoa, and the hoodie's coming off, he means business.'
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Come on, Igor!
0:19:32 > 0:19:34'OK, let's go again.'
0:19:34 > 0:19:37It's just about getting the bus moving, that's what he needs.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40As soon as you can get a rhythm, hopefully you can keep that up.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42This is the hardest bit right now.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Argh! I will move it.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55He can definitely move this bus.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58He knows he can, so there must be a problem somewhere,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01he's just trying to figure out what that is.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04'Igor and his team desperately need to find a solution
0:20:04 > 0:20:08'if he's going to stand a chance of breaking the record.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10'So Igor has plenty to chew on.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13'Join us later to see if he can pull this challenge back on track.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17'But now, here are some other people who've used their mighty faces
0:20:17 > 0:20:19'to get themselves records.'
0:20:19 > 0:20:20# We've all got beards
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- # And we're not afraid to use 'em - # Use 'em
0:20:22 > 0:20:24# You might even suggest
0:20:24 > 0:20:25- # That we abuse 'em - # Abuse 'em
0:20:25 > 0:20:28# There are those who might suppose it's slightly weird
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- # But the simple fact is... - What?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32# We've all got record-breaking beards. #
0:20:32 > 0:20:34What about Ismael Rivas Falcon?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36# He was just a bearded boy from Spain
0:20:36 > 0:20:39# Who used his beard to pull a great, big train
0:20:39 > 0:20:40That's insane!
0:20:40 > 0:20:43# In Germany, the longest bearded chain
0:20:43 > 0:20:47# Was made by 20 bold Bavarians with glory on the brain
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Breaking records with a beard. - With a beard.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Facial follicles deserving to be cheered.- To be cheered.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55# Ed Cahill had some toothpicks he could spare
0:20:55 > 0:20:58# He took 3,107 and stuck them in his facial hair
0:20:58 > 0:21:01# And if you thought a beard of bees was quite a dare
0:21:01 > 0:21:02# A cloak of over half a million bees
0:21:02 > 0:21:05# Was what Ruan Liangming from China chose to wear
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Un-bee-lievable!
0:21:07 > 0:21:08# We've all got beards
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- # And we're not afraid to use 'em - # Use 'em
0:21:10 > 0:21:11# You might even suggest
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- # That we abuse 'em - # Abuse 'em
0:21:13 > 0:21:16# There are those who might suppose it's slightly weird
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- # But the simple fact is... - What?
0:21:18 > 0:21:22# We've all got record-breaking beards
0:21:22 > 0:21:25# But there's one final beardy scene-stealer
0:21:25 > 0:21:27# Who goes by the name of Wheeler
0:21:27 > 0:21:31# And if you think that 25cm beard is crazy...
0:21:31 > 0:21:32How about this?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34# It belongs to a lady
0:21:34 > 0:21:35HIGH VOICE: # We've all got beards
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- # And we're not afraid to use 'em - # Use 'em
0:21:37 > 0:21:39# You might even suggest
0:21:39 > 0:21:40- # That we abuse 'em - # Abuse 'em
0:21:40 > 0:21:43# There are those who might suppose it's slightly weird
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- # But the simple fact is... - What?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47# We've all got record-breaking beards. #
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Time now for something...
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- Officially...- Skilful.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59BOY SNEEZES
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- Grrr!- Uh-oh!
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Think of some of the great magicians.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Dynamo, David Blaine, Penn and Teller, Gandalf.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Well, now there's a new kid on the block.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Whoa! His name's Jordan Barker and here he is.
0:22:13 > 0:22:1616-year-old Jordan's here today hoping to break a world record
0:22:16 > 0:22:19using just a single playing card.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Jordan isn't going to be doing tricks for his record attempt.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Today, it's a genuine physical challenge,
0:22:25 > 0:22:29though if he gets it right, it will look magic.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32The record I'm trying is the highest throw of a playing card.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35That sounds pretty easy. I'm guessing, what, a couple of feet?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Hopefully, about 15 to 20 metres. BEN LAUGHS
0:22:38 > 0:22:41That's outrageous. Why are we in a shopping centre?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Well, it's really tall, there's no wind
0:22:43 > 0:22:46so nothing can affect the card on its flight up.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49The current Guinness World Record for the highest playing card thrown
0:22:49 > 0:22:52is held by Czech magician, Zdenek Bradac.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Look around the eyes, not into the eyes.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59He managed to throw a playing card 8.2 metres into the air vertically.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02That's about the size of a giraffe standing on a table
0:23:02 > 0:23:04wearing stilettos.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08So, can 16-year-old Jordan break that world record today?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11To attempt this record, Jordan uses a special technique
0:23:11 > 0:23:14with two fingers, a flick of his wrist and his arm.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17A playing card is so light that Jordan needs to hold it
0:23:17 > 0:23:20carefully to keep it straight and help launch it into the air.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22The playing card must be from a brand-new pack
0:23:22 > 0:23:26and cannot be folded in any way to help it fly.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Jordan, are you happy?- I'm ready. - Well, then let's do this.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30HEARTBEATS
0:23:30 > 0:23:33'This is it, the moment of truth.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36'Remember, he's trying to beat 8.2 metres.'
0:23:38 > 0:23:39SHUFFLING CARDS
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Three, two, one, throw!
0:23:46 > 0:23:48'Look at it go!'
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- Oh, ho ho ho!- Wow!- That was amazing.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- APPLAUSE - That was great.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57'Unbelievable! Let's take a look at that again in slow motion.'
0:23:59 > 0:24:00'What a zinger!
0:24:00 > 0:24:03'He's nearly throwing his arm out of its socket to get that
0:24:03 > 0:24:04'card as high as possible.'
0:24:06 > 0:24:07'He's certainly done it
0:24:07 > 0:24:10'but let's get the official word from adjudicator, Liz.'
0:24:10 > 0:24:16I can confirm that the height that you reached today was...
0:24:16 > 0:24:2013.1 metres which means it's a brand new Guinness World Record title.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Wahey!
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Whoo!
0:24:26 > 0:24:31- Jordan, how are you feeling now? - Epic.- "Epic", that's a good word.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33I think he's ace, and he's officially amazing.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35'From something you can try at home
0:24:35 > 0:24:37'to something you definitely shouldn't.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40'Back to the final instalment of our jaw-dropping,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42'jaw-clenching challenge in...'
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Officially...strong.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Whoa!
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Part Three.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49BOY SCREAMS Ow!
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Igor Zaripov has been struggling to get a new Guinness World Record
0:24:54 > 0:24:58for the heaviest road vehicle pulled by human teeth over five metres.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01So far, it hasn't been going well.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04This is such a huge feat of physical strength and Igor's
0:25:04 > 0:25:08frustration is mounting as he hasn't been able to move the bus at all.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13- Argh!- Has he bitten off more than he can chew?
0:25:13 > 0:25:17For the past hour or so, Igor and his team of experts have been
0:25:17 > 0:25:19trying to work out a possible solution.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21And it looks like they might have found one.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25We want to reverse it and have him enter it at this point
0:25:25 > 0:25:29and let him pull it from the back of the bus that way.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Pulling the bus from the front was too difficult for Igor
0:25:32 > 0:25:35since most of the weight is at the back where the engine is.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38But is turning it around OK with the official adjudicator?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Ben, is this within the rules?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Yep, the guidelines make no distinction
0:25:42 > 0:25:44whether the bus is pulled forward or back so it's perfectly
0:25:44 > 0:25:47within the rules to turn the bus round and pull it in reverse.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51So Igor's preferred method of pulling the bus backwards is legal
0:25:51 > 0:25:53and his teeth are all set.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55But can he pull 14 tons of bus with them?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Right, we're all strapped in at the back now. Igor's going for it.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02He's got to pull that bus over five metres to get the record.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- Come on, Igor! - CHEERING
0:26:04 > 0:26:09Come on! Look at it, it's moving, all right! Oh, look at this!
0:26:09 > 0:26:12And this has made all the difference.
0:26:12 > 0:26:18There's the line, there's the line. This could be a record. Go on, Igor!
0:26:18 > 0:26:23Keep going! Keep going. Look at this now, it is a dream.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Igor looks like he's having a walk in the park. Oh, look at him move!
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I think this is it!
0:26:29 > 0:26:32'Yes, he's done it!'
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Oh! And look at the man. Look how happy he is.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Well done, sir. Igor. Look at that, how do you feel?
0:26:42 > 0:26:43- CROWD:- Igor, Igor!
0:26:43 > 0:26:47They're chanting your name!
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Igor, Igor, Igor!
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Igor, I can confirm this is
0:26:51 > 0:26:53an official Guinness World Records title.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- Thank you so much.- Thank you very much.- That is amazing.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58That's the world record. World record-holder right here.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:00 > 0:27:04'A great show and two great new world records to finish with.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07'See you next time for more officially amazing stuff,
0:27:07 > 0:27:09'like this.'
0:27:09 > 0:27:13# Igor was eager to leave us all impressed
0:27:13 > 0:27:15# He pulled a bus five metres with his teeth
0:27:15 > 0:27:18# He officially passed the test
0:27:18 > 0:27:22# Jordan let the playing card fly 13.1 metres high
0:27:22 > 0:27:26# Sizzlin' Steve's cup stacking was found to be sadly lacking
0:27:26 > 0:27:30# And ASIMO gave Haruka the run-around
0:27:30 > 0:27:35# It's all officially amazing! #
0:27:52 > 0:27:54# Amazing! #
