0:01:01 > 0:01:03OWL HOOTS
0:01:03 > 0:01:07'While I wait for the bus, here's what else we've got in store.'
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Today's unbelievable Guinness World Records include...
0:01:11 > 0:01:14In Japan, Haruka meets a man who cracks his nuts
0:01:14 > 0:01:15in a very special way.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19In America, Al meets a guy who attempts to
0:01:19 > 0:01:24spin his way into the record books on a surfboard.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27And this clever German canine tries to break the record for most
0:01:27 > 0:01:29knots untied by a dog.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Wunderbar.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Plus this man jumps out of a plane without a parachute.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Find out why later. First, it's...
0:01:47 > 0:01:49'Finally, what time do you call this?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52'We've got to get to London, you know.' Hello, ladies.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54LADIES: Hello!
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Are we ready to set a new world record today?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58LADIES: Yeah!
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Good, because that's the kind of optimism
0:02:00 > 0:02:04and confidence you need to attempt an Officially Amazing challenge.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06CHEERING
0:02:06 > 0:02:09What exactly is today's challenge?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12The aim is for these 28 lovely ladies to try to
0:02:12 > 0:02:15squeeze into one of these. Not exactly this one.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I believe this is a toy.
0:02:17 > 0:02:23That's 28 of these crammed into one of these to create a new
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Guinness World Record. Skilfully commentated on by one of these.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Hang on, who's that? Is that meant to be me?
0:02:30 > 0:02:34This may sound impossible, but these ladies are well practised.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38They already hold the record having crammed 27 people into a Mini
0:02:38 > 0:02:42in 2011. Now they are looking to go one better.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43If anyone can, they can,
0:02:43 > 0:02:47but how on earth are they going to put another person in there?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50They've certainly been training hard enough.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Although they've never tried what they're going to do today -
0:02:52 > 0:02:57squeezing 28 of them into one car as they are not allowed to do it
0:02:57 > 0:02:59without a medic present. It's a serious business.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02It's not just about people sitting on someone's lap.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05It's a lot more organised. We need to know where someone's head goes.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08We need to know where a hand goes, a shoulder goes, a foot goes,
0:03:08 > 0:03:09a knee goes.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11We need to know that, when the doors are closed,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I haven't snapped someone's leg, arm, neck.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Particularly a neck.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- So that the risk of fatality is minimal.- Hang on.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21"Risk of fatality"?! Someone could actually die doing this?!
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I think I need to lift the mood a bit.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25One, two, three.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30# 28 ladies crammed inside a Mini
0:03:30 > 0:03:36# 28 ladies crammed inside a Mini and if one of those ladies... #
0:03:36 > 0:03:40'Come on, mate. Join in.' Keep it going.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44'I can't wait to get to London and see this lot attempt
0:03:44 > 0:03:45'a new world record.'
0:03:47 > 0:03:50For now, let's head to Japan where Haruka
0:03:50 > 0:03:53is about to meet a man with glittery buns of steel.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- You heard me.- It's...
0:04:01 > 0:04:05You've come to a shrine and you've brought a basket of nuts.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10As you do. You've forgotten to bring a nutcracker. What do you do?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13You could do a lot worse than send for this man.
0:04:13 > 0:04:21Hey! Sushi tempura. Sakura. Cherry Yoshitake.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25'Yes, he's a bit shy. Bless him. Meet Cherry Yoshitake.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28'Ignore the bit about sushi, tempura and Sakura.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31'I've no idea what he's on about there.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32- TRANSLATION:- Hello.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34I hope you're ready to be amazed.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- Ladies and gentlemen, it's very nice to meet you.- 'He is excitable.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42'He's loud and he has a very unusual nut-cracking technique.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44'Go on, Cherry. Show them.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Japanese.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55You weren't expecting that, were you? Yes.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58He cracks a nut with his butt.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Today, he's going to try to crack loads of them
0:05:00 > 0:05:03and set a brand-new world record for the most nuts
0:05:03 > 0:05:08crushed by sitting down in 30 seconds with a minimum target of 38.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11There are millions of records that you could have gone for.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Why did you choose to go for this one?
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- TRANSLATION:- I am very confident in my bum.- OK.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23So, there is a record for the most walnuts cracked
0:05:23 > 0:05:25in one minute which is 76.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Why have you chosen to go for the 30 seconds?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- TRANSLATION:- I believe 38 nuts in 30 seconds is harder than
0:05:32 > 0:05:34the one-minute record.
0:05:34 > 0:05:40- Do you wear protection like a metal plate?- No, just my pants.
0:05:40 > 0:05:46- Does it hurt?- Yes. - How do you practice?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I would regularly go to the park, line up my nuts
0:05:49 > 0:05:54and start breaking them. Many people don't realise what I'm doing.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Sometimes, old people start stepping on my nuts.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02How would you feel if you were to set a brand-new world record
0:06:02 > 0:06:07- with your bum?- I would be very proud
0:06:07 > 0:06:10and tell my mum and dad straight away.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Is there anything else that you might want to break with your bum?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Diamonds!
0:06:18 > 0:06:22THEY LAUGH
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Actually, that's not very likely.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29I'm going to find out for myself just how hard this cheeky challenge is.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32HE LAUGHS
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- That's not funny.- OK. OK.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39'I crushed just one nut with my bum and it really hurt.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44'Cherry has to crush more than 38.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46'He is using ordinary walnuts which are laid
0:06:46 > 0:06:48'out on the floor ahead of the attempt.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51'The spacing is critical as he needs to crush the nuts
0:06:51 > 0:06:55'one at a time using just his bum. If he wants to set a new Guinness
0:06:55 > 0:07:00'World Record, he'll need to smash more than 38 nuts in 30 seconds.'
0:07:00 > 0:07:02OK.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Adjudicator, are you ready?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07BOTH: We're ready. Cherry, are you ready?
0:07:07 > 0:07:13- I'm hip. OK?- 'A simple yes would have been fine.' Ready?- Yes.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17On my count, three, two, one, go!
0:07:18 > 0:07:21'Look at him go. Cherry has really got his rear into gear.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26'Cherry is smashing those nuts at top speed.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31'My bum still hurts after cracking one nut.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34'His cheeks must be chafing a bit now.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36'Can he crack more than 38 nuts?
0:07:36 > 0:07:42Just a few seconds left. That's it. Time is up.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44'Looks like he's cracked a lot of nuts. But -
0:07:44 > 0:07:49'and it's a big, strong and slightly sore butt - did he crack enough?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51'It's an uncomfortable wait for Cherry
0:07:51 > 0:07:53'while the adjudicators check the nuts.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55'Personally, I'd have used gloves.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59'Will they be happy with what they see? Let's find out.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01How's your bum?
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- TRANSLATION:- No, I can't use it any more. It's sore.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Sore.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10OK, well, let's get the official words from the adjudicator.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Adjudicator, please tell us.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Cherry, in order to become a record holder,
0:08:15 > 0:08:18you had to crush at least 38 nuts.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22However, we disqualified two of the nuts
0:08:22 > 0:08:24as they were not crushed properly.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27So with your total of...
0:08:27 > 0:08:2948 nuts,
0:08:29 > 0:08:33you have become a new Guinness World Record holder!
0:08:36 > 0:08:38'So there we have it.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42'Cherry Yoshitake has smashed 48 walnuts in 30 seconds,'
0:08:42 > 0:08:45proving that he has an officially amazing bum.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Please don't try this at home. You'd be nuts!
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Love and peace! Hai!
0:08:55 > 0:08:59From nutty, snowy Japan to the sun and sand in Florida now
0:08:59 > 0:09:02as we check in with our American cousin Al,
0:09:02 > 0:09:03who's found a dude who is...
0:09:15 > 0:09:16What's up, everybody!
0:09:16 > 0:09:20I'm here in Florida and today's Guinness World Record attempt
0:09:20 > 0:09:23combines not one but two skills.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Now, a lot of people can surf.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32All right, not me so much, but a lot of people can.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34And a lot of people can spin a basketball.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Again, not me so much,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43but the guy we're going to meet today
0:09:43 > 0:09:48claims he can do both spin and surf at the same time!
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Well, this is the guy who says he can do it. Meet Bernie Boehm.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57As you can see, he can definitely spin.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59And it's not just basketballs.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02He can spin plates,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04he can spin cereal boxes,
0:10:04 > 0:10:08and when he's finished breakfast, he can spin the bowl.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Saves time drying it with a tea towel, I guess.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14In fact, if it isn't tied down, Bernie will probably try and spin it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15I'd better watch out.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Sometimes, he even runs out of fingers to spin things on.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- Bernie, what's up, man? - How you doing?
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- I'm good, man. Al.- Nice to meet you, Al. How's it going?- This is so cool.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29How did you learn to do this?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Well, I've been spinning a basketball since high school
0:10:32 > 0:10:34and whatever you name, I can spin it.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Bernie's so good at spinning, he holds a Guinness World Record
0:10:38 > 0:10:41for the longest time spinning a basketball on a toe.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43He spun the ball for 19 seconds.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Toe-tally awesome, dude!
0:10:47 > 0:10:50And if mastering spinning wasn't enough,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Bernie also happens to be great at surfing.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Some people are just plain greedy.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00So can Bernie set a new world record by doing both at the same time?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03This is it, this is the moment! How are you feeling?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I'm feeling good. I'm ready to do it.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Excellent. Now, do you anticipate any problems out there?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10We got a wind coming out of the north.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13It's going to be a little bit cold, it's going to be blowing,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15it's going to be hard to keep this ball on my finger,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17but I'm going to do the best I can.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Bernie's trying to set a record
0:11:18 > 0:11:21for the longest time spinning a basketball...
0:11:21 > 0:11:22while surfing!
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Because this has never been attempted before,
0:11:25 > 0:11:29in order to be worthy of being a new world record, it's been decided
0:11:29 > 0:11:33that Bernie must spin the ball for a minimum of 30 seconds to get it.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Adjudicator Phil is on the beach to keep an eye on things.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Has he got those binoculars the wrong way around?
0:11:40 > 0:11:41This is it.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46Man versus sea versus basketball versus surfboard
0:11:46 > 0:11:49versus... Anyway, you get the idea.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50And he's paddling out,
0:11:50 > 0:11:54ball firmly under the chin there to stop it from escaping.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Local dolphins are standing by to retrieve it if it does escape.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01And he's up, and he's spinning.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04But he's down almost immediately.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06This is really hard.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Here he goes again.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11This looks a lot better.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14But his balance lets him down.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17That's still nowhere near the 30 seconds he needs.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Come on, Bernie! You can do this.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31He's up once again, and this looks really good.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Man, ball, wave and board
0:12:34 > 0:12:35all working in harmony.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43What a fantastic effort! He must have hit the magic 30 seconds.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Ah! Finally, he's off.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53An amazing display of balance.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Bernie thinks he's done it, so he's coming in.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59But did he surf and spin for long enough?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Let's get the final verdict from official adjudicator Phil.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03How are you feeling?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- Feeling good, cold.- You achieved something quite extraordinary.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10You had two attempts that were just shy of 15 seconds.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Your longest attempt...
0:13:12 > 0:13:16..was 27.97 seconds, so unfortunately,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18on this occasion, you did not set a Guinness World Record
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- but I can see you doing it in the future.- Thank you.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Oh! Bernie was so close!
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Under three seconds away from setting a new world record.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32I'm sure he'll be back spinning his way into the record books very soon.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Oh, dear! From officially wet to...
0:13:43 > 0:13:44We're staying in America now
0:13:44 > 0:13:48to meet this fella wearing a very English bowler hat.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52He's Jackie Bibby from Texas and he's about to have a bath in public,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55but what is unusual about this bath?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Is it full of snakes?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Full of ice? Or full of beans?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Well, if you have a phobia of beans, you're fine,
0:14:03 > 0:14:08because Jackie's about to take a bath with 87 deadly rattlesnakes.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Not small ones, either.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12It's rare to see snakes in a bath tub,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16mostly because they haven't got any ears to wash behind.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18So how's that for a record?
0:14:18 > 0:14:2387 snakes in a bathtub with a man and none of them came to any harm.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27His record has since been bettered by fellow American Benson Hodd
0:14:27 > 0:14:31who sat in a bath with 120 rattlesnakes!
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Not to be outdone, Jackie did something else.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38He held a record, 11 live rattlesnakes in his mouth!
0:14:38 > 0:14:42And for some reason, nobody's ever tried to do more.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44And now, from a mouth crammed with snakes,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47to a small car crammed with people.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48It's...
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Part two.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54GROANING
0:14:54 > 0:14:58After a long bus ride, we've arrived in foggy London town. Oh, look!
0:14:58 > 0:15:01You can just about see Tower Bridge.
0:15:01 > 0:15:0528 ladies have travelled down on this hoping to smash a world record.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Remember, they already broke the world record with 27 ladies.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Can they go one better?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14The thing about a MINI is, well, it's really mini.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18I hope they can do it. It's time to get warmed up.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19MUSIC: "Gangnam Style" by PSY
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Work it, feel the burn.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32In a moment, 28 ladies will try to squeeze into this car,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35something they've never done before,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38not even in practice, as they aren't allowed to try all 28 of them
0:15:38 > 0:15:40without medical staff on standby.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44I don't know how they're going to fit 28 women in this car.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46But somehow, they're going to attempt it.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Official adjudicators are here to keep an eye on proceedings
0:15:49 > 0:15:52and it looks like we're ready. Let's go.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56First girl going in now, that's Carly, she always starts it off.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59All the girls must be at least 1.525 metres tall
0:15:59 > 0:16:02for this to be a valid Guinness World Record attempt.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Carly's joined in the back by Sasha, who's Dani's big sister,
0:16:07 > 0:16:11and Kayleigh. OK, that's three people on the back seat.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13To you and me, that's the back seat full.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16But they're going to be joined in the back by Jeanette, Juliet,
0:16:16 > 0:16:21Kirsty, Dee, Lindsay, Vanessa, Beth, Jo, Holly, and finally, Alice.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26Stuffed in like a pillow. That doesn't look comfy.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Right, front passenger seat's going back.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Incredible! That's 13 women on the back seat
0:16:34 > 0:16:37and it's taken over seven minutes to get them in.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38Now, I know what you're thinking,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41rip the seats out and make more room. Well, that's not allowed.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44FARTING
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Oh, dear. Well, they are under great stress.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49No, we're just messing. We added that sound effect later.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52They're just trying to get some air into the car.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54It's unbelievably hot in there.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55Front seat lined up, ready.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58It's military precision at this stage.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01And they're going to need all their armies and leggies in the car,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03remember, to get this record.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06They've got to work quickly now for the comfort
0:17:06 > 0:17:09and safety of the 13 girls wedged in the back.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Go! Move!
0:17:10 > 0:17:13First in the front is Katie, she gets half the driver's seat.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Blonde Hannah is next, followed by Chanel, Jane,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18who sits on the handbrake, ow!
0:17:18 > 0:17:23Michelle, Jasmine, Amy, Alice, Jacqueline, then Melissa and Ashley.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Relax, relax the bodies, don't tense.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28That's Sharon on the dashboard.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31In case you were thinking, "Hang on, she's got in the back earlier,"
0:17:31 > 0:17:34that was actually her twin sister, Jo.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Just give her a map and she's a real live sat nav.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Nearly there, nearly there, nearly there.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Nearly there indeed, as Kayleigh, Lauren
0:17:41 > 0:17:43and Charlie climb into the boot.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Come on, we're nearly there, girls, we're nearly there.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Remember, about an hour ago, all those girls were sat with me
0:17:51 > 0:17:53on a massive coach and it felt pretty full.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58Now they're crammed in that tiny little car. How has this happened?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00How has physics been defied?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Well, anything's possible when records are involved.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07They've got 27 women in the car.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10They just need to cram Charlie in to make it 28
0:18:10 > 0:18:12and set a new world record.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14They've got to shut the car doors
0:18:14 > 0:18:17and it's got to be shut for five seconds without any assistance.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Back, back, back!
0:18:19 > 0:18:22OK, they now have to keep the doors shut for a full five seconds.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Get them out!
0:18:25 > 0:18:28That's officially amazing. Look at that.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31They're trying to scream, they don't have any breath in their lungs,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33but they're going to be out and they're going to be jubilant.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- So that's... - HE TAKES DEEP BREATH
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Carly, Sasha, Kayleigh, Jeanette, Juliet, Kirsty, Dee, Lindsay,
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Vanessa, Beth, Jo, Holly, Alice, Katie, Hannah, Chanel, Jane,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Michelle, Jasmine, Amy, Alice, Jacqueline, Melissa, Ashley,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Sharon, Kayleigh, Lauren and Charlie
0:18:51 > 0:18:56all crammed inside a small car and all officially amazing.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I'm taking everyone out for celebratory milkshakes, which
0:18:59 > 0:19:03won't be cheap, but at least they won't be as expensive as this lot.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Oi!
0:19:07 > 0:19:09HE RAPS: It's all about the cash, da bling, da shiny things,
0:19:09 > 0:19:15- so dance to the beat and sing. - Most expensive things.- In the world.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- More dosh than diamond rings. - Yes, crazy.- Most expensive stuff.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- On the planet. - How much cash will be enough?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Most expensive biscuit, right, no, I better get this bit right.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32I've got the value and I'm going to holler, 7,804 dollars.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35It came from Shackleton's crew, he was an expeditionary dude.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Apparently nutritious but lacking in taste,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39do you think that much money is a waste?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Yo, what shall I deal with now? Maybe the most expensive cow.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46£914,000, that a pleasing Friesian, makes me say wow!
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Most expensive things.- In the world.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51More dosh than diamond rings.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56- Yes, indeed.- Most expensive stuff. - Goodness gracious.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- How much cash will be enough?- What?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01All my days, your wallet's going to hurt
0:20:01 > 0:20:04when you spend 12 grand on a single dessert, an ice cream sundae
0:20:04 > 0:20:06don't sound that incredible, but this one's covered in gold that's edible.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Forget your iPods and Android phones,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10how much you going to pay for dinosaur bones?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Over eight million bucks for the most expensive ever.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Was that purchase clever?
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Probably not. But dinosaur bones are cool.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Most expensive things.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- Pocket money's not going to cover it. - More dosh than diamond rings.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26- Get a paper round.- Most expensive stuff.- Yeah, it's time.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31- How much cash will be enough? - What, money? Oi!
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Now, it's...
0:20:38 > 0:20:40SHE SCREAMS
0:20:42 > 0:20:46This is a Yasuhiro Kubo, a man who loves danger, a man who's
0:20:46 > 0:20:51in California USA to attempt a truly terrifying Guinness World Record.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58Yasuhiro is going to throw himself out of a plane without a parachute
0:20:58 > 0:21:00and try and catch one on the way down.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05This world record attempt is for the...
0:21:07 > 0:21:10This basically means jumping out of an aircraft at a fixed height
0:21:10 > 0:21:14of 3,000 metres without a parachute.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17The parachute is thrown out of the same aircraft separately
0:21:17 > 0:21:21and the parachutist has to try and catch it at some point the way down.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25This missile-shaped canister holds Yasuhiro's parachute, along with
0:21:25 > 0:21:28a big bottle of water to weigh it down.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Once Yasuhiro has caught up with the canister,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34he grabs a hold of it and attaches himself to it.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Then he opens up the parachute and falls gently to earth.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43At least, that's the plan. This is a high-risk precision event.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46If the weight of the canister isn't properly measured,
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Yasuhiro won't be able to catch up with the parachute
0:21:48 > 0:21:51and he'll end up... Well, let's not go there.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56In order to set a new world record for the longest time falling
0:21:56 > 0:21:59through the air from 3,000 metres without a parachute,
0:21:59 > 0:22:04Yasuhiro will wait as long as he dares before connecting himself to it
0:22:04 > 0:22:05and pulling the cord.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I'm terrified and I'm just watching.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14But Yasuhiro looks surprisingly calm.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Here we go then, cruising at a height of 3,000 metres.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20First, out goes the parachute canister.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Then Yasuhiro jumps after it.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Remember, he's not wearing a parachute.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31With only gravity to help him, he needs to catch up with
0:22:31 > 0:22:34the parachute that they threw out of the plane just seconds ago.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36If he doesn't then he's in all kinds of trouble.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41I really can't watch this.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43There he goes.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47He is getting closer and... Don't push it away, man!
0:22:47 > 0:22:51He's obviously determined to add as many seconds as he can to
0:22:51 > 0:22:53ensure he gets the record.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56He's got the parachute, and now he needs to attach himself.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Oh, my, yes!
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Pull the cord, man!
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Oh, what a relief.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11And there he is, safely on the ground and in doing so,
0:23:11 > 0:23:15he's set a new world record for the longest duration Banzai
0:23:15 > 0:23:20skydive at a terrifying 50 seconds of freefalling without a parachute.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24His heroic team have all made it down safely, too.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Good news for everyone, except for a nearby farmer whose barn's just
0:23:28 > 0:23:32been smashed by a bomb-shaped canister of water.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Thanks, Al. Let's leave America now for something a bit more European.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36It's...
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Woof!
0:23:41 > 0:23:46I'm in Southern Germany, a land of incredibly beautiful rolling hills,
0:23:46 > 0:23:51incredibly tasty sausages and incredibly tight lederhosen.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55And officially amazing record holders who are truly a breed apart.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59And today's is in this box. Any ideas what it is?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Well, we're about to find out. Gustl?- Yes?
0:24:02 > 0:24:06I've seen someone knobbly knees in my time but they're ridiculous.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Gustl, Gustl! What's the German for heel?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13This is Gustl's owner Heidi.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16And in her house, everyone does their fair share of the housework,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19including her three dogs.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22That leaves Heidi plenty of time to put her feet up.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26And it gives me a chance to have a chat with the top dog.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Gustl, it's lovely to meet you.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Hello.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32But how did you get into stacking dishes?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Me previous owner, he made me work like a dog.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Gustl, my house is a nightmare at the moment.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Any chance you could pop round and give me a hand with the dishwasher?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- No! I'm not your dogsbody. - Oh, fair enough.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Look, all this chat and barking is fine and dandy,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48but let's have a look at the trick that you got your world record for.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Oh, aye.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54In 2009, in Vienna, Austria, Gustl set a Guinness World Record
0:24:54 > 0:24:58for most clothes retrieved from a washing line in one minute.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01But he's not the only record-breaking pooch out there.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Augie, a golden retriever from Texas,
0:25:03 > 0:25:07managed to hold a world record five tennis balls in his mouth.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08New balls, please.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15The tallest dog living is Zeus, a Great Dane from Michigan USA,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18who is a terrifying 1.12 metres tall.
0:25:18 > 0:25:24Zeus was, of course, the king of the gods, now he's the king of the dogs.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26But it is Gustl we're here to see.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Today, he's going to attempt the record for...
0:25:32 > 0:25:35We've hired the local town hall
0:25:35 > 0:25:38and 11 local kids have agreed to be freed by Gustl.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40And here are the rules.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41The knots must be reef knots.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Only the dog can touch the rope after the attempt begins, and the
0:25:45 > 0:25:49knots must be fully undone by Gustl in order to count towards the total.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Our official adjudicator, Olaf, is here to check
0:25:52 > 0:25:54we don't make a dog's dinner of it.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57The current world record for this is six knots.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Is this the wet nose of a dog who's about to break a world record?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Or not? It's time to find out.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Olaf, are you ready?- Yes, indeed.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- Excellent. Gustl, are you ready? - Yes.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Drei, zwei, eins, go.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Oh, look at that technique.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22I bet he's slipped a few leads in his time.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Canine world records are mega competitive.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27You guessed it, it's dog eat dog.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30He's really going at a rate of knots.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Remember, Gustl's got to undo as many as he can in one minute.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Oh, hang on.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Let's have a closer look at that.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Oh, no! That one's just fallen off, in which case, it doesn't count.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44That's RUFF. But them's the rules.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Time is up, so let's find out how Gustl got on.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Olaf, that looked really good. But how good was it?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Ten knots, new Guinness World Record.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56CHEERING
0:26:56 > 0:27:00What a good boy. Well, you know what they say, every dog has its day.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Time for me to celebrate with Gustl and his friends over a slap-up meal.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Mmm, das ist gut, ja?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09HE BELCHES
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Ja? Gustl?- Aye, very good. - Fancy a biscuit?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Those are dog biscuits. Put it down, you wally.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Mmm, yeah, I must admit those biscuits tasted a bit funny.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Oh, well. See you next time for more officially amazing record attempts
0:27:23 > 0:27:25like this lot.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31# Oh Gustl's one domestic dog He was a helpful hound at home
0:27:31 > 0:27:34# He took ten little tykes Who were tied in knots
0:27:34 > 0:27:36# And freed them on his own
0:27:36 > 0:27:40# Cherry cracked a load of walnuts It sounds like a pain in the butt
0:27:40 > 0:27:44# Yasuhiro jumped without a care And caught his parachute in the air
0:27:44 > 0:27:49# And the women all crammed Into one tiny car
0:27:49 > 0:27:52# It's all officially amazing! #
