( laughs )

Oh, my shorts. Please don't pop.

( music playing )

Hello, I'm Gav.

I'm Dan.

- Do it again. - Did it work? That was about--

- Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan.

Welcome to "The Super Slow Show."

Something I pride myself on is the ability to be able to be able to

strike a nice pose, time a good expression in slow motion.

You got a lot of practice.

'cause frequently I'm filming you and no one's filming me.

- That's very true. - Yeah.

Do you remember the video

when I was in the giant balloon and I did the pose?

Gav: Yeah, the way you've just been revealed

as like a new superhero.

- Dan: Yeah, a split second. - Gav: And you looked like an idiot.

Dan: It's true, it's true, but in slow mo' it lasted for ages, yeah.

So, I think you need a bit of practice.

- Okay. - So what we should do is have a pose off.

- Ooh. - We each get a balloon.

A new challenge, I like it.

I reckon I've got this.

I'll tell you what, I always carry,

- a spare giant balloon, so that's handy, isn't it? - Oh!

Well, luckily, there's a fat leaf blower right here.

Oh! How about that?

I think as reigning champion you should probably go first.

- All right. - So there's something to work off of.

For sure, you let the master show you how it's done, yeah?

All right.

Okay, so this is always pretty tricky, right?

We'll start with filling this up a little bit

so I have some air to breathe.

Yeah, it's actually hard to get into a balloon

without any air in it.

It's very true.

( leaf blower whirring )

Is that enough to get in?

I don't know. Just hand me some.

- Whoa-oh! - ( laughs )

Ah! It's like blowing me away.

( laughing ) Get in, get in!

( balloon deflating )

- No, I didn't make it. - ( laughs )

It's too fat. My arm's getting crushed, Ah!

( leaf blower whirring )

- All right, make a seal. - Okay.

And then you're just gonna have to go, shwiver.

What's that? Do it again.

- Schwiver. - ( laughs )

Do I have to make the noise too?

It would help.

Okay, right, if we get mad in this,

I think it should probably make a seal.

Okay.

- Yeah, made a seal. - ( Gav laughs )

- I'm good. - What am I looking at?

- What is this? - It's got me choking though.

Gav: All right, do you need help?

- I'm gonna get an arm in. - Okay.

- All right? - Ah! ( laughs )

And I'm gonna need a bit more leaf blower.

Okay. Ready?

- Hand, uh! - This one's way easy to get into.

- ( laughs ) - Jesus.

- Dan: Quick! - Do you want air in the front or the back?

Get me in the front.

Uh, the front. Quick.

Ah, I'm gonna die. Go!

- ( laughs ) - ( bleep ) do it.

( air blower whirring )

Dan: Okay

I was waiting for you to tell me to turn it off--

More air, more air, quick!

- More air! - ( laughs )

More air. Give me some air.

Give me some air. What are you doing?

( laughs ) I'm laughing.

What am I gonna do? I'm gonna live in here forever.

But your feet, your feet...

Okay.

- Oh, my God. - Dan: Go, go.

- Yeah. - ( leaf blower whirring )

Oh, oh, hold on. You know what?

Can I get your little for inside?

Dan: Hang on a second.

- ( Dan moans ) - Dan, I'm gonna insert a filming device...

Dan: Okay.

Quick! Before I die again, quick!

- ( balloon deflating ) - ( Dan screams )

Get some more air, now.

Okay, you ready? ( laughs )

( air blower whirring )

Both: Oh!

You broke the selfie stick.

I didn't break it.

Who did?

Well, it was like this.

and then the balloon crushed me,

and when that is... sorry.

Uh! Luckily...

- Oh, I just got another one. - How convenient.

So, how about that, right?

( fast forwarding sound )

( leaf blower whirring )

( Dan moaning )

Gav, uh!

Ah! My pants.

Oh, my shorts!

Please don't pop.

- Are you dressed? - Dan: Yup.

Okay, here we go. This is it.

( leaf blower whirring )

( popping )

- Dan! - I wasn't expecting it.

Look for a kneeler.

Went for a-- went for a hero pose,

like a, I don't know, a power pose.

- All right. - Like a man power.

But even in slow mo, I reckon I reacted that quickly to it.

I was pulling a nice face and then suddenly it went like...

Like that, before it even popped off.

- Before it popped? - I reckon it was that quick.

All right, why don't we take a quick look

at what that looked like,

just so I know what I have to beat.

All right.

Dan: I had no idea when the balloon was going to pop.

Gav: It got to the height of me.

Dan: So about four foot then.

Probably-- well, I'd say more like six, almost.

( popping )

Gav: It's sort of Terminator-esque when you kneel down, isn't it?

Dan: ( laughs ) Yeah.

Gav: You've just come out of a ball underneath.

Dan: Yeah, you see, I reacted so quick.

Look at the wind. The lab coat makes it--

Gav: It actually makes it look pretty cool,

the floppy cape in the wind.

Dan: Yeah, for sure. Gav: All right.

- Gav: I think I can beat that. - Dan: You reckon?

Yeah, yeah. I think I got this.

That's what you got.

Get your head in there.

( groans ) How did you do it so easy?

( laughs ) You gotta commit.

- You gotta commit. - I'm commit.

Stop moving around.

- ( laughs ) - Just get your head in.

There you go. ( laughs )

Gav: Okay. This is deeply unpleasant.

Push down the front, push down the front.

You gotta push down.

( grunts ) Uh!

Oh, okay. Yeah.

They're tugging on the old shorts.

All right, ah! Okay.

( laughter )

That's just a balloon.

GoPro, get in there.

All right. Goggles next.

Gav: Yeah.

Thank you.

It's like a post-box for weird things.

Dan: Pull it. ( grunting )

- Gav: Okay, seal it, seal it, seal it. - Dan: Okay.

All right, I'm just gonna do a bit of, um, maintenance in here.

I think I much prefer being outside the balloon.

What are you doing in there?

Gav: I'm just doing my buttons up.

Uh, goodness me.

( leaf blower whirring )

( popping )

What the hell?

- What the hell? - What?

- What? - Did I win?

- I'm not having that! - What do you mean?

Clearly cheated somehow.

- ( laughs ) - I don't know what--

Is that a martini?

Yeah, appletini.

Let's go watch the footage.

Gav: Ooh, that one got a lot bigger.

Dan: Got huge.

( chuckles )

- Probably about eight foot. - Sort of bean shaped.

Yeah.

( popping )

- ( laughter ) - Dan: No way. You nailed it!

That's so annoying.

How did you even do that?

Gav: With a smug look .

Dan: Oh, for goodness sake.

Gav: So who wins?

Clearly you've won that, but you've cheated again.

Ah, you know, you're always so quick

to use the word cheat.

- What would you call it, then? - Creativity.

To be honest with you, there are no rules,

and then you're always like, uh, I'll just cheat and do this,

but there's no rules for getting into a giant balloon, so...

Gav: Yeah.

( sighs ) Does that mean that I'm not

the reigning champion anymore,

and that you've had one attempt

and you've immediately beaten me at the only thing I'm good at.

I think yes, but we'll make the pose off a regular thing.

Maybe once every few years, we'll have another pose off.

- Yeah. - Come up with different--

it'll be like-- a dunk contest.

It just gets more and more ridiculous.

I'm gonna lose sleep over this.

I'm gonna think about it so much that you just won't have a chance next time.

Hopefully, you've enjoyed our silly pose off.

I have no memory of that.

You may have landed on your head just a bit.
