- Which one's gonna break first?
The compressor or the football?
(laughs)
(loud boom)
- [All] Oh!
(synth note)
- We've been asked a lot about different things
from Australia and around the world.
And one thing particular is,
an Australian football.
And I didn't even know there was a difference
or that there was a thing,
I'm sorry to all of you from Australia.
Welcome to our friends from How Ridiculous.
- Hey guys, it's great to be here.
I'm Brett, this is Derek and Scott.
And we've done a (mumbles) trick shots
with Sherrin Australian footballs.
So, we're looking forward
to showing you guys how it all works
and then seeing what's inside it.
- [Voiceover] Train, train for the footy.
What is it?
Footy?
- Footy is like what everyone would call it pretty much.
- [Voiceover] Footy.
No one really says football.
- [Voiceover] Why do we have four
random flagpoles sticking out.
- Four posts that are different heights.
To score six points you have to kick the ball
through the two big ones and that's called a goal.
If you kick it and it goes through there,
the big one and the little one, it's only one point.
And then he would do the signal.
And that means that it's a goal
and you go back to the middle.
So when you kick it,
you want to hold it so it's facing like this.
You don't want to kick it like that
cause it will go all over the place.
And kick the bottom of the ball.
- Okay.
- Like this.
Ready?
I'll kick it to Scott and he'll kick it back.
See? Perfect.
(grunts)
So yeah, hold it like that.
Yup, there you go.
Kick.
- [All] Oh!
- [Voiceover] Nice Lincoln.
- Good.
- This is much better.
- So this is your, oh!
- [Voiceover] Oh, boy.
- This is what happens
when Australian football meets cricket.
(thud)
- Goal! - Yeah!
- Sherrin footballs have been around since 1890
and there's 27 employees in the factory that makes these,
and they make 500 footballs every single day.
We're gonna do something a little different,
rather than cut open this Australian football
- We're gonna blow it up.
(laughs) (imitates explosion)
- Hope this works, we only got one shot at it.
(generator hum)
(mumbles)
(explodes)
- Oh!
Oh my gosh.
Woah!
Holy moly!
(slow motion explosion)
(slow motion yelling)
(energetic beat)
- Okay so there's the bladder inside
and there's where the actual nozzle kind of,
the needle goes into there.
This is actually really, really strong leather,
and a lot stronger
than some of the other sports balls that we've opened
because it did not rip the leather one bit.
This one right here is like the $20 knockoff
that you can buy so kids can buy them
just to play with them.
They're a little lighter, not as tough, I can't imagine
- It's smaller
- It's not gonna explode like this one.
But we gotta see.
Cause we have it and this was so amazing
that we've got to take a look at it
with the knockoff version, so.
Alright buddy, whenever you're ready push that button.
- I'm so ready!
(screams)
(generator hum)
(soft explosion)
(energetic beat)
(laughs)
- Look at it!
It broke the leather.
But it hasn't broke the ball yet.
I mean, look at this.
Who would have thought
that these threads would tear before the ball would.
(soft explosion)
(laughs)
- Okay, it didn't make that loud of a noise but we got it.
Look at that tear in it.
Going right through it.
That's some weak stuff.
I still can't believe it didn't tear up.
It looks the same as the other one, it just,
I guess the difference between the cheap ball
and the nice ball, is the quality of the leather.
This is not leather and the stitching is not strong.
This was a lot of fun we really enjoyed making this video
and we learned something.
We have a new respect for Australian football
and someday we actually need to watch a match,
or a game, or whatever it's called.
- Oh definitely. - Yeah.
- Put a link in the description below
or you can click at the end card here
and watch a video with the best of the best
of your trick shots, right?
- Yeah.
Australian football, the best trick shots we've ever done.
- The cream of the crop.
- Okay. Alright.
So go check it out on their channel.
Thanks for watching guys.
