(crew 1): Get in there, Jake. (crew 2): Come on, you can do it.

(laughing) (crew 3): Are you in all the way?

- No, my legs are still hanging out. Oh, that looks just like Die Hard.

Before I was crawling through an air vent,

I had two loves in my life: science and movies.

So, I decided to put myself in one of my favorite films,

Die Hard. And don't worry, we're not actually in a skyscraper.

We're doing a lot of stunts for this episode. There's falls, there's jumps...

- It's all really cool, but it's important to be safe. - Safety.

(Jake): Air vents aren't built to support the weight of a human being.

Oh boy! So I fall through frame. - Okay, resetting. Going again.

- What if - I'm just gonna throw it out, here - we have a rig set up?

(Jake): Bilbo Baggins! (crew): That was worse.

- Oh, they're a great crew to work with. Amazing crew.

Professional and very safe-conscious, so...

- I'm about to go up ten meters and then jump off,

so we can figure out what it looks like when a human being

Yeah, take it up! Just like John McClane did in the movie.

- Jake, could you survive this movie? - Not this part.

As it turns out, it would just cut you in half.

- That worked exactly like we thought it would, and it was awesome.

- The Nakatomi we're blowing up, we have people behind the large metal body

of the scissor lift. 'Cause the plastic shrapnel is vicious

(crew): Next, I'll do a fire... Fix the scene for me right now,

- make sure there's nothing in the way.  (crew 2): Fire in the hole!

- We actually were going to do it all in one,

where the flame comes out, I jump back, all in one scene.

but I guess there is some worries about me lighting on fire

because some things that I have, like the makeup and the clothing, are flammable.

So in post, we can add the flame that we actually filmed coming in,

me flying back. 'Cause I guess it's safer. And we'll do that.

(screaming) - I think no one could survive Die Hard

Also, has Derek come down yet? - Oh no, I haven't seen him around.

(chuckles) Guess he should've been a Twinkie. (both laughing)

(crew 1): Did somebody really? - Somebody ate the Twinkies!

(indistinct chatter) (male crew): We got more, so... (female crew): We got more!

(crew 1): Oh, you got a whole backseat of Twinkies? Twinkie wrangler.

Today, I am playing Reginald Veljohnson's character from Die Hard.

I ain't gonna play this Mickey Mouse (bleep).

(Jake): No cursing. - Okay, no cursing. Okay, got it.

I can't even... Why is that...? It's ridiculous.

I got a call from Jake Roper a few weeks ago,

and he just said, "Will you be a bad guy in my video?"

And I was like, "I thought you'd never ask."
