we’re going to move on to my first back
which is going to blow this whole theory
of yours out of the water it is possible
for a human encased in bubble wrap to
survive a 13-foot drop you could wrap a
human being in bubble wrap and just drop
them nothing will happen really come
here I’ve got I’ve got a lot to show you
come with me yeah here we have a big
bunch of bubble wrap and I was going to
volunteer as a guinea pig to get wrapped
up in it and drop but I have an inner
ear thing so my doctor said don’t get
wrapped in bubble wrap but thankfully we
have an out-of-work actor here who is
willing to do it what is your name
turner turner nice to meet you turn a
big round of applause return it of
course uh I was just kidding about the
out-of-work actor thing you’re a real
stuntman that’s correct all right and
you ever break anything no anything ever
go wrong no do you have a family yes oh
my girlfriend’s right over there
girlfriend okay so you don’t have kids
or anything no all right you’ll be so
all right now as you can see this is
ordinary bubble wrap guys you can buy
this in an office supply store don’t pop
it don’t pop a bubble why what could go
wrong we need the bubbles no no half is
good bubble wrap works like a
bulletproof vest right now I can opsware
bubble wrap when they go out of petrol
no that would be too much it disperses
the energy that’s what it does so we
need all of these shoot him
afterwards no he says no it would be a
cool thing that maybe do but no but we
can send him to Denver through amazon
all right we’ll be right back with duck
quacks don’t echo and my friend Turner
will be wrapped up in bubble wrap and
thrown to his death
