- [Voiceover] Okay stay there, stay there.
When I tap you on the leg again.
(chuckles) Look at him.
He's totally covered.
(laughs)
Oh that's so funny.
(yells)
What is it Lincoln?
You're a mummy.
- [Lincoln] My face.
Welcome back to What's Inside.
I'm Lincoln this is Dan.
- Today we have these giant rubber band balls.
So it's taken us a while to accumulate these.
You don't just go into eBay or Amazon and buy
a rubber band ball.
These take people months and even years to make.
Here's a tiny rubber band ball this is usually how
they start.
You just take a few rubber bands and you fold them together
and then you take the rubber bands and just start
putting small rubber bands on it.
Then as the ball gets bigger, you can get bigger and bigger
rubber bands.
- This one's funny I think.
It has a face.
(yells)
- This one is 14 pounds so it's pretty heavy.
This one took a guy a year and a half to make,
he worked in a cubicle at an office and so he said
that he would sit there on the phone and in order
to get him to not be so bored he would just take
these rubber bands and put them on there,
and then it became a really popular thing at his office so.
We bought this off craigslist from this guy in Idaho.
Now this one has a unique story.
We had one that was 28 pounds by this guy in Chicago
and it took him three years to make.
But the problem was we got the rubber band ball
to our house, we filmed an awesome video.
- [Lincoln] Whoa, whoa.
(yells)
- It was doing really cool things and then we realized
that the camera wasn't turned on so it was a total bust.
So that was eight months ago.
So fast forward to now, the same person in Chicago
spent the last six months making this rubber band
ball just so that we can cut it open.
That's super nice of him.
Of course we paid him for the ball, but still.
So Lincoln, get rid of those guys, lets just do this
big one first.
- Get out of here.
- That was smooth.
- (chuckles) Yeah.
- Okay rubber band ball time.
Here we go.
- [Lincoln] Whoa!
It just rocketed.
Whoa!
- It's a hat.
It's my hat.
Okay we're losing some.
- Some, that's a lot!
(laughs)
Look at it!
Look it's like a little ball.
(upbeat music)
Whoa!
Could I try it on?
- Yeah.
(laughs)
(upbeat music)
- Whoa, whoa.
Geez.
Look at that.
Cut right through it.
I love how this one has all the colors on it.
- Yeah it looks cool.
- It's just a, it's a little Pacman.
It's kind of expanding.
It's starting.
Oh there it goes.
- Whoa!
- Look how cool that is.
It's just going right through it.
It is amazing.
Oh look out.
- I got it!
Whoa!
- Oh man.
A big ole chunk came off.
Listen to this.
Can you hear it?
Just crackling.
Expanding.
(laughs)
It's coming out of the middle.
- Right in the middle.
- Watch this.
What is that, it's little pieces coming out of the middle.
Here you go Lincoln check this out.
- Oh!
- Grab that ball Lincoln, grab that.
That's the middle.
- There's the middle of it!
- It just had a baby.
(laughs)
It looked just like it.
It's having more babies.
Look at that, watch.
- It's having more.
- Let's see if I try to crack it open see what it does.
It's just growing, these have so many parts to it.
Look at that.
- Yeah that's just totally rubber bands the whole way up.
- We've two little guys that are left.
That mama ball has turned into two babies.
That's a colorful inside.
And then the little things on the outside.
That's actually pretty funny.
Isn't that funny?
It looks like two little guys.
See how much I can pick up.
(grunts)
There we go.
That's nice.
All right.
Where's the garbage can?
