No Winchester. Kitty, no.
We got a cat today so... random meowings. We've got a talkative cat today,
there's always a cat. That's true.
My name is Tara, I'm Natalie, and this is Natalie and Tara Try Stuff
Today's idea comes from a podcast that I am kind of obsessed with,
It's called My Favorite Murder. So they were talking on the show and they
mentioned that you could go on YouTube and look up videos on how to break out
of zip ties and duct tape and the second I heard that I had to try that!
and after having watched the videos about doing it I know that Tara didn't
put any more thought into it than that because this is gonna hurt.
But you said. You said that there was a video of a..
There's one of a little girl doing it and that's not gonna hurt.
Thats- but the other ones... That's one method. But the other
methods, I'm pretty sure are gonna hurt. I'm terrified. Look at these dainty little wrists.
So thank you so much Georgia, Karen and Steven for this idea
and if I hurt myself I will then blame you for it.
So I watched some guys do this and they hurt themselves.
The, the, Russian, Have you ever watched the Russian vlogger
who like hacks things, and tries things? No. Actually it's fun, it's yeah.
Link. Link to this Russian. He and his friends were doing and they were hurting
themselves. But I did watch some, um, some military men, I don't know what their
branch was I didn't pay that much attention to it, I was watching for the
zipped ties thing. He said, he said, if you want to you should probably duct tape around
your wrist so that you don't hurt yourself when you do it. Okay. And I'm...
I don't know that's gonna hurt less because peeling the duct tape off is gonna hurt.
Ugh! I have a big mole with a lot a....
I've got like little bits of hair on it. Yeah, No I am a very hairy individual. I am extremely
hairy, this is not gonna feel good. But I think we should do that because I have....
I'm harry but I'm also just incredibly dainty. So let's put some duct tape around our wrists.
So. Oh my God I'm so scared of this. I know. Okay, now you're scaring me.
You I didn't watch the videos. NO I didn't watch the videos. You're the research and development. I edit.
It was your idea. It was a vague idea.
So, two things I learned, that when you're, if someone's
going to zip-tie you, they're kidnapping you or whatever, the first thing you want
to do is- you want them to get it as loose as possible.
Let me see if I can remember how they did it. So put your hands like this, if possible when they zip-tie it.
They're probably not gonna let you do that because that looks stupid
but do that and then you have more room to move and you can probably just wiggle your way out.
But when you're zip tying you want it as tight as possible so you
want your arms like this, because that's part of why it breaks.
Oh my god this is such a bad idea.
Such a bad idea.
Trick number two is this part needs to be in the middle.
Okay. So little nub part. Now grab this with your teeth and tighten it.
Okay. You want it as tight as possible.
So now. God this is just such a dumb idea. This is so scary. I'm actually kind of scared.
Here, pull mine. Okay.
No. With your hands!
Oh. I just.
Okay stop.
The idea is, you're gonna go up like this, elbows spread. Uh huh. You come down.
Hit it hard. It already hurts. It alright hurts. And you're gonna hit it hard and from what I,
from the couple that I watched... don't, your instinct is to like take it like that.
Don't move your butt back. Like move it forward if anything. Ooo that already does hurt.
Yeah. Oh I'm terrified. I don't know if I can do this. It's gonna hurt.
Oh my God! I'm so scared. I'm so scared. I'm so scared.
Okay! Oooh. I'm so terrified. This is terrifying. Are we gonna do one, two, three?
Yeah, let's. I need to like kinda. Yeah. Okay. Oh God.
Oh my God. I don't know if I could do it. Do you want, do you want me to try first?
No let's just go. One. Two. Three.
Oh it worked! [Natalie: screaming]
I'm free!
It worked! it worked! And it really was not that painful. Owww. I think it's more painful if you don't succeed.
God that F***ing hurts!!
Look at my wri-. Dainty. Dainty wrists. Oh my God!
You wanna do it one more time and then we'll cut you out? Okay give me a pointer.
What did you do?
What? I don't know. I have big hips! They fight through things.
GOD DAMMIT! F***! So many squeaky sounds in this video.
[Taras squeaky laugh]
Meanwhile I've alerted the kidnappers because I'm screaming.
Ahhhhhhhhh.
Okay...
Jesus Christ!
Okay! I didn't make it out.
but there is a second method I'm gonna try the shoelace method cuz I'm not giving up and staying.
Okay so I didn't make it out, obviously, I'm still kidnapped.
Tara just left me. That F***ing B****.
I'm gonna try the shoelace method.
Which I saw some little girl do and if or a little girl didn't do it... So take my
shoelace, let's see if I can remember how to do it, because that's part of the thing.
So I'm gonna take my shoelace and I'm gonna feed it through.
Oh my God I'm losing circulation in my hand.
Okay, I don't know how I'm supposed to possibly get this through this itty bitty hole.
Oh! Okay. Okay. Okay, now what? Now I need....this.... okay.
[obnoxious laughter]
Okay! Okay. All right. Now I got, I got. I got it!
Now I just need to tie these together.
Now, I. Just.
[snap]
[Victorious cheering]
Oh my God that worked!
And then I get up to run. RUN!
But my shoelaces really are in a knot and I can't get it undone now
cuz I got to do it as tight as possible so now what you have to do
is take your shoes off and run. Which that's how these things happen.
That's how you end up with one shoe in a terrible situation. Thats how you end up with one shoe
driving through a haunted fields.
I really cant get that knot out. So we're just gonna take those shoes off. That was awesome.
Duct tape is supposed to work the same as the zip ties in the same fluid motion
thing. It's the same thing. What? Because, I mean, and it made sense. When you tear duct
tape and tear it at an angle like that. So it would kind of make sense that it'll go the same way.
I'm not as scared of this one. I don't think it will hurt as bad.
So I don't know if it's the same thing as wanting it as tight as possible. Like the zip tie
it was you wanted as tight as possible. But I don't know. Say your kidnapping me,
Do what you would do. I guess. First of all ...
I was like, if you get that in my hair, I will MURDER you!
That's a lot. Really if I were kidnapping you, would I do just twice?
I was thinking this is kind of where I would stop now, but I think this good.
So same Idea?
I just think this ones gonna be easier. Really? Same idea. Ah, God, I'm scared again. Ready? Moving back.
[thud]
Nope. Not the same
Maybe you just got lucky that first time.
Not the same! Not the same.
I'm giving this four tries and then you're cutting me out. Okay.
[thud]
Oh!
[thud]
That sounds like it's painful.
Okay, one more time and I'm gonna say I can't do this and I'm gonna find some other way out of here.
[thud]
Oh! Nope. nope. OWWWW!
Oh my God.
That really hurt.
Owwwwww.
Tight as possible this time? Yeah let's try that.
Shes cutting off my circulation. Owww.
That's where I would stop. Get in the van!
Look at... look how... do you see how tight she made that.
I can't even spread my arm.
That was the problem I had with the zip ties I could not move my arms. But it worked.
Yeah, well, maybe the thing.
[rip]
Ow. Ow. I'm Free!
[squealing]
So say, so saying that, you know, your kidnapper
has a sense of fashion or style, we're gonna try some color. Yeah
Or maybe they just didn't want to be con- like suspicious when they were buying the duct tape-
So the got leopard print? Yeah. Alright. Let's do the same one I did and see if
maybe. As long as I'm not like in a trunk, this is useful. Well that's the problem.
What if I'm in a trunk with this?
[rip]
WHAT?!
How did you that both times?
I don't know.
We are all wrinkly now.
Owww.
Ugh. Wrists.
Hey! We won. We won.
Eventually. Well I one time evaded the kidnapper and you the second.
Oh, well you got out. I did the first one with the shoe. The shoe yeah. Saying you did the shoe, so it works!
So, yes. This works. This crazy thing we've seen online or heard about.
So thank you to the gals and the fur-babies and the man with the stache over at My Favorite Murder
For giving me this idea because this was actually a pretty cool. Ugh.
And I'm glad to know this because I feel that my kidnapping and murdering is an imminent
at any moment so I'm like out of.
I'm like out of breath.
That was way too intense for me.
I'm Tara and I'm Natalie, And this was Natalie and Tara Try Stuff This time we escaped getting murdered and kidnapped.
We got kidnapped. We escaped getting murdered. We escaped it.
We got out of it. We didn't do the part where we didn't do a thing in the first place.
yes
That really hurt. I know!
