What's the 44 Club you may ask? Well it all started in the outro of this video • HOW TO BOTTLE FLIP (ON... where we wondered if anyone was still watching the video at that point, and to comment 44 (Scott's fave number) if they were. Brett then said 44 Club get on board and the rest is history. The 44Club is the official How Ridiculous fan club made up of people who love our videos and watch them right to the very end. We've even got 44 Club merch now! So yeh, that's the story. Pretty random but good fun at the same time.

So many flies I was itchy
The flies could be due to the massive amounts of watermelon you've smashed on that pad

I always wonder the same thing. Bees… bees also. Huge Australian Bees.
Analyzing a screenshot from 0:01, I took a pixel-precise measurement of one piece of tape's width (we'll call that TW). At 1:03 we find that 1 TW = 48 mm. Using Photoshop to measure the screenshot, I found out the length of the table is 21 TW, or 1.008 m from edge to edge. The depth of the side bars of the table is 1.5 TW, or 72 mm.
At 1:12, we find out that one layer consists of parallel strips, aka "The Old Meshy." It appears that each strip of tape goes from the bottom of one sidebar, across the top of the table, and down the opposite side bar. So each strip is 0.072 m + 1.008 m + 0.072 m = 1.152 m long. The layer going one way uses 11 strips, or 12.672 m of tape. The other layer uses 12 strips, or 13.824 m of tape.
Therefore, the average layer uses (12.672 m + 13.824 m) / 2 = *13.248 m of tape.*
At 4:10 we learn that after each go they just replace the tape in the square that the bowling ball created. Accounting for overlap of replacement strips, the length of tape necessary to replace one strip appears to be about 8.5 TW, or 0.408 m long (4:07). They replace 4 strips total (two per layer), for a total of 0.408 m x 4 = *1.632 m of tape* replaced for the two-layer go.
At 5:23, a similar sized square is made by the ball. There are 4 times more layers to replace, so 1.632 m x 4 = *6.528 m of tape* replaced for the eight-layer go.
At 6:50 we see a narrower rectangle formed by the ball. Accounting for overlap, two of these replacement strips appear to only be 6 TW, or 0.288 m long, and the other one seems to be the standard 0.408 m long. Therefore the average replacement length of tape per layer is ([0.288 m x 2] + 0.408 m) / 2 = 0.492 m. This is the sixteen-layer go, so that is a total of 0.492 m x 16 = *7.872 m of tape* replaced.
At 7:38 we find out that the last go is "100ish layers". It's hard to tell how many strips of tape are used on the last half of the layers, because the grid pattern becomes solid tape somewhere in the time-lapse at 7:27. This is where some speculation really sneaks in. As best as I can guess, they continue to follow the grid pattern as long as possible, but it becomes so *thicc* that the spaces between parallel strips goes away. After all, they probably quit trying to line the tape up perfectly. I would guess that they applied extra tape to the last few layers to give it that smooth solid finish on top. Let's say that extra tape makes up an additional 2 or 3 "average layers" of tape length. This gives us a total of 102.5 "average layers" of tape length on the table.
We also see that they go all the way around the sides several times to hold the strips down. My guess is they wrapped the sides 5 times, for a total of 1.008 m x 4 sides x 5 wraps = *20.16 m of tape*.
Time to add everything up... (102.5 average layers x 13.248 m per average layer) + (1.632 m + 6.528 m + 7.872 m of replacement tape for the holes) + (20.16 m of side wrapped tape) = *1,394.112 m of duct tape used.*
*Almost 1,400 meters!!*
Fun fact: This would be about 26 roles of tape if the roles are a standard 54.8 m length. This amount of tape would reach from the top of the 45 m tower to the ground almost 31 times!
And before any of you comment that I have too much time on my hands or I have no life... I only spent two hours on this math and I bet most of you spend more time than that scrolling through Instagram or playing Fortnite everyday.
God bless!

all those bugs? weird! its almost like someone smashed a load of fruit and soda there....
sam wats haha good point
They must of had cologne on or something as bugs are attracted to cologne
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh yea
Lol!!!!!!
Bright colors mate! Always watch what you wear in Aussie!
Those flies would drive me insane
2:18 hello there
what about if you use FLEX TAPE!
You know, the flies were all attracted to the White shirt. Maybe bring a few huge white sheets and attach them to the fence while filming. It might keep the flies off of you.
@JohnJacob that is really smart
Or just bringing black shirts
Hector Suarez bringing black shirts will attract heat to them

YAY now I gave him 60 more likes just because I got a highlighted comment
PLZ LIKE THAT IVE NEVER EVEN GOTTEN THIS MANY SADLY
You need to try doing this kind of stuff with an anchor lol
Enchanted Pixel YT yes
Duck and duct are both acceptable. It was originally designed to waterproof ammo cases, because water rolled off of it "like water off a duck's back" and after the war, people realized how good it was at sealing air ducts.
4:57 Gaunson: Man the flies are driving me GNATS!
Me: Well played, well played.
Lord the amount of flies makes me itch
Wtf happend to you on your profile🤣
I reckon it's gonna bounce, mate

New Commtest, how many flies can we kill with a bowling from 45m on to Duct tape covered in honey!
Awwwww thats so cute, Scott has a kid!! I bet you'll be an awesome dad😎😎 Go scott!!😊😄😁
6:47
The amount of flies on his shoulder
That moment when the flies remind you that for *them,* it's the middle of summer!
Micah Philson ol’boy (the fly) was saying hello at the beginning of the video! 😂
They have different seasons
Bloody Americans
Well it's SUPPOSED to be summer, but the days have been mixed. At least the flies remind me which season we're in 🤣
Lol
The amount of flies of Herron's shirt is freaking me out. You 'Stralian boys are crazy!
It is mid-summer down there, y'know...
Sometimes it can even get worse, covering your whole hat and lots of your back. Fly's suck!
Yea that's crazy
Bleurgh.
i would freek out if that many bugs of any kind were on my back
Aluminized tape is used for ducting. During WWII, when the tape you're referring to was created, it was called Duck Tape due to water resistant properties. It is actually quite s**t for A.C. ducting.
'My dog was up' sounds like a euphemism...
*Next video: gaunson vs stanford from 45m*
The flies wouldn't be, because of all the soda, juices, & fruits you've destroyed in that sandbox, would it? ;-)
Norman Hirtle put some bug spray on boys
No, its summer in the middle of nowhere in Australia. Trust me bug spray does NOT work
Andrew Soycheese just some annoying flies
@@megan-pu3cn Sure it does! But you have to drink a lot of it til you don't notice the flies...
Hello on the fly, that's gold.
The flies on Derek’s back is making me feel like I have bugs all over me
The real question is how did you guys last an hour of tape wrapping with all those flies flying around?
they're Australian. i'm pretty sure they wrestle Kangaroos for their lunch, i'm sure they can handle a few flies
6:55 there was about 10 flies on his back lol
you can get 12* inch wide flex tape

Ever tried to drop a kettlebell? Flat bottom like an anvil, solid ball like a bowling ball. Best of both worlds

Yes they have - on a tramp.
I felt for Herron at 8:12. That yell came from the depths of his SOUL. 🤣

Nolan Pesh 8:22 if you fear death
Ducktape is the original name from a cloth that was called duc or duq and that ended up being covered with adhesive as tape for many purposes between the war.
Ducttape is a later variant of it and it is not especially good at sealing airducts as it is flammable and ducts can get hot. But it sounded "more plausible" to people not aware of the history and thus became a common vernacular term for all sorts of adhesive covered clothtapes.
Thanks for all the hard work
Gorilla tape is hell of alot stronger... the real question is... what can these boys do with superglue?
what about Araldite?
maybe catch some flies
If you can guess how many flies were on Derek's back, guess what we'll do folks?

The sound of that bowling ball hitting the tape was just *chef's kiss* satisfying.
But the flies would have driven me insane!! I know this was 3 years ago, so I'm sure you guys invested in a ton of citronella candles, zappers, bugoff, and bug spray by now.
Love these guys and their energy
make a video where u swat all the flies on ur back at once with one big flyswatter

I don’t know how much you brought but I do know you have to emphasize the T in ducTTTTTTTTTT tape
The original name is Duck Tape, Johnson & Johnson produced it during WWII and the soldiers called it Duck Tape because it was green and waterproof. Duct Tape is a knockoff version so they could get around trademark laws.
7:01 he is a true Aussie with that many flies in him
If you're happy and you know it ring the bell ding ding

Cool yea? Cool
My God the flies! How satisfying would it be to swing one of those electrified bug-zapping tennis rackets around the tower? It might be more therapeutic than popping bubble wrap!
The dedication for all that ducK Tape, woo0oow. Awesome Channel!
Watching the tape unpeel in the time-lapse at 7:27 was so satisfying!
I loved watching the clouds move
Wack
I really think that the pattern changed whether the ball went through or not. With the grid, the ball only needed to put clean tears in a few strips of tape, but with the solid pad, the ball would need to punch a hole directly through the tape.
Jmandawgfan yeh the mesh approach was to help us only do half as much haha, then we realised it wasn’t nearly as good as going the whole hog... so off we went with bulk
@@howridiculous are the flies always that bad?
Oh my gosh, Gaunson's kid is so cute!!! And Herron being up with his dog is so relatable XD When my doggo gets an upset stomach, I don't get much sleep either, but it feels like such a silly excuse haha. :)
That fly was just like “pls save me, there are so many giant fricking spiders and other things that want to eat me
roses are red
violets are blue

2:19 there’s a fly on the camera and it says HELLO
I saw it and I was like did I just see what I think I saw?.... I had to go back and see what I was talking about lol
Bruh that’s edit 😪😪😪
Johanna Santiago No, you couldn’t be more wrong. Haven’t you heard of the Australian Hello Fly? Each one has the word “Hello” written on it after millions of years of evolution. It’s so when spiders go to eat them, they read it and know the fly is friendly and won’t eat them. Quite miraculous, really.
Matthew Lindahl Ohh I understand thanks 😂😪
