Dan: I'm Dan.

Gav: We're the Slow Mo Guys.

D: Gav, I've got some batteries here, you know the one from like calculators thing like that.

G: Yep, yep.

D: And uh you know how much I hate warnings right?

G: You bloody hate them.

D: I do.

D: It says here: "Warning, keep out of reach of children".

G: Already failed that one. (rip)

D: Yeah, true

risk of injury due to fire, explosion

do not

expose to fire or high temperatures.

Ah! *holds up device that creates fire or high temperatures*

G: Can I hide in the house while you do it?

I'll frame up and leg it.

D: OK I'll just sit behind the table

G: These are lithium AAs

and normal alkaline AA, you know what happens when you burn it?

it kinda of just goes *gavin noise* and catches on fire. Just stays where it is.

This does not stay where it is.

D: That one explodes.

G: Yeah.

D: Sweet

G: Like a little jet engine.

D: So we got some uh calculator batteries here.

just trying to get them out the packet

*Dan struggles in an intense battle with the battery packaging*

*Dan is unable to open the package*

D: what the f***

there's no

*thinks about what the thing is called*

cut thing

G: Shanad Phil (?) gave me that Leatherman.

D: Yea? G: Yep.

D: I'll never forget it.

*Dan easily cuts open package*

*Dan thinks to himself, success- wait*

D: What the f***.

They're clam-shell packaged within clam-shell packaging.

G: *laughs*

D: You can't get to them.

They're sealed within the sealed packet.

G: *laughs*

G: Honestly I didn't think this would be the hardest part of making this video.

*Dan now struggles with his newly acquired knife*

G: Thought maybe the dangerous explosions would be harder.

D: What is the point in this packaging?!

*Dan seals the deal by pulling out the battery with his mouth...*

G: *laughing*

D: Don't do that, kids.

G: Don't do anything in this video.

G: Alright what should we start with?

D: Let's start with the uh the smallest ones.

G: Lemme get some focus on that. Oh yeah.

D: Yeah? G: Teeny.

*Dan contemplates life as he sets up the heating device

*Gav has probably ran into the house already*

*The suspense is real*

D: Oooh!

*Dan checks inside the house for Gav*

D: Flip!

D: So loud!

*Dan's slow-mo shriek*

G: That one went to the moon!

D: Yeah, it went really high.

G: it just popped its top off, make sure you get your face mask down, B.

D: yeah, I've got it- it's covering my mouth and everything.

G: I assume the uh the metal shell-top would really hurt if it hit you in the gob.

D: You must be able to calculate how fast it's actually moving.

G: Yeah.

D: I bet it's absolutely rapid.

G: I bet someone in the audience could tell us. (not me)

D: Yeah.

I mean it's uh it just leaves the bottom bit behind and the top, it just-

G: Yeah. D: -buggers off.

G: Alright should we try the next size up?

D: This one's a slightly wider

but also thinner.

*more suspense*

D: Bloaah!

D: Flip!

*Battery makes a beeline for Dan's head*

*Mission failed*

G: Went pretty high there.

D: Yeah I'm glad I had my face mask on

because it just went straight past my head, didn't it?

G: Yeah.

they all seem to follow the same sort of

back to the left trajectory there.

D: Back?! back, and to the left.

G: The old JFK.

D: Yeah. *laughs*

G: Um so now we move on to the most dangerous.

D: I'm gonna lay the blow torch down

move away and hide sort of thing

and then run and trigger the camera when it's done (?)

G: Yeah.

D: I don't wanna be right next to this one.

G: So this is a AA lithium.

D: Ooh!

*Dan runs away in a loping fashion*

*Dan views from a safe distance*

D: That was a supreme puff of smoke.

*Ready for liftoff*

*Oops might be burning the runway a bit don't worry about it*

*Starts inching forward*

*zoom zoom...?*

*and takeoff*

G: Well that was class. Like a jet taking off.

D: Yeah it was awesome.

G: With some reddish flames

but it went behind the propane so.

D: Yeah what I've done this time is that I moved the propane behind the battery so that it uh

hopefully we can catch the battery going either way, and it won't be blocked.

G: Any less dangerous?

D: No less dangerous. G: No less dangerous... Alright.

We're all good here.

D: *signature woooah*

G: That's what we need, B! That's what we damn need!

*Dan gets super excited as the flame jet takes off*

*Dan makes jet takeoff noises*

G: Awww, it got caught on the thing!

D: *laughs*

*Taking off for real this time*

*uh oh it's turning...just slightly off trajectory...*

G: Lovely jetteroonie, that one!

D: That was pretty sweet wasn't it?

G: That was lovely!

D: I like how it caught on something and then just went, "ooh! hang on." Yep, continue.

(me too Dan, me too)

G: *laughs*

D: Pretty sure I heard something hit the house.

G: Yeah I felt something hit the wall when I was in there.

D: Another one.

G: Let's have a look. Let's examine.

D: All the color's just been burned off.

G: This video not sponsored by...

D: E. G: En.

*Dan and Gav continue to make E/En noises*

G: Well those escalated quite nicely.

D: Yeah. Something I've noticed is uh

you know they rocketed off? G: Yeah.

D: They've actually got four holes in the back, and I think that's just to stop them actually _exploding_ exploding.

G: So there's failsafes on em? D: Yeah.

D: There's a failsafe on batteries to release the pressure.

G: I was wondering why they kept coming out in two jets.

D: Yeah they always came out of these four little holes here

and otherwise I think they'd just sort of actually explode all in one go.

but instead they sort of shoot off and maintain their shape.

G: Now I'm glad we didn't seal up the failholes.

D: Well I mean how are you gonna seal that, really?

G: Glue?

D: I think-- G: Cement.

D: Cement?! Yeah. Brilliant.

G: So is that because, if there's a house fire or something

they don't want them to actually explode in their kitchen drawer?

D: I guess- (gets cut off by Gav) G: Imagine your man-drawer just blew up in a fire!

D: My keys and useless items, nooooo!

G: Honestly didn't see that when we filmed it.

D: You didn't see it? G: Did you just notice that?

D: Yeah yeah -I noticed it before.

G: You noticed the holes already? D: Yeah.

*Gav realizes Dan is smarter than him*

D: What? G: I just didn't see it.

D: Oh. G: You didn't mention it once while we filmed it.

D: Well there you go I thought you just saw them because they were right-

G: I've never learned something in the outro before, but there it was folks

that was it.

G: Well hopefully you enjoyed that video

and you also learned that batteries have jet holes.

and merch. D: Sweet.

G: You know what, I haven't mentioned it in a while

but if Dan sees you wearing one of these shirts.

D: *has a great realization*

G: He will buy you a drink. and that is still in effect- D: *sighs*

G: -and always will be, as long as we are in this...

civil partnership.

D: Civil partnership?

G: I mean, just friends.

D: This got weird quick.

*Gav purses lips in either an oh shoot moment or in an attempt to contain his laughter*
