    What I learned from this video is, If a company has pride in their product they are happy to answer any controversial questions.
  • @imCryptoRixh
    A person who puts their heart and soul in a craft can really make you appreciate something as simple as scissors.
  • @37Kilo2
    This is what TLC and Discovery Channel were, decades ago. Thank you for this awesome content!
  • “The price of horse semen will remain…stable” lmaoooo like that junk really sent me over the top man BRILLIANT!!! 😂😂😂
  • Shows like this on youtube are the reason why paying for cable just makes zero sense anymore
  • @desmond-hawkins
    Wow. This single guy painting the Rolls Royce coach line by hand has an amazing job. There's one such job in the world and he's the perfect person for it.
  • 04:50 for those who don't know, decibel is an exponential metric. As in it doubles the energy-load within the measured metric by every 3 decibel. So it's like going from 2, to 4, to 8, to 16 etc. only it's the force of the sound-wave, so removing 9 decibel is basically shrinking the sound by 92%+.
  • @hamfish225
    “We take a small amount of the idre down from each nest once the birds are gone” Next scene is she’s literally removing eggs from the nest and snatching the whole lot lol
  • Is anyone going to mention the amazing job title of 'master putter-togetherer' or are we just going to skip over that brilliance?!?
  • @TheDankTiel
    I mean, customizing a Rolls Royce is cool and all, but have you ever tried to customize your McDonalds cheeseburger by adding double the cheese portion?
  • Now I understand why Rolls-Royce cars are so expensive, stunning to see the amount of work that goes into each car.
  • @BostonBlues
    1:15:32 I like how they explain how the Eider down farmers either wait for for birds to hatch and leave the nest to farm it or only take a small amount, then they cut to the CEO lady robbing the eggs of 95% of their nest
  • @coreymonday1375
    My grandmother bought those $125 scissors at an estate sale for $7 they obviously didn't know what they were
  • @robertkiehn7459
    It keeps jumping out to me in these sorts of videos that some of these traditional crafts, the Persian rugs in particular, always seem to be on the out, and every time they say it's because young people don't want to do them anymore. Young people would love to do them if it could pay them well, it always comes down to the producers not getting the bulk of profit for these crafts, passion can only take you so far.
  • @gabeitches8903
    They way it seamlessly shifts between each item is very impressive. Nice job 👍
  • @rajgoyal108
    I know I will never be able to buy a Rolls Royce but seeing the car gives a sense of aesthetic and hard work to produce one piece of that gorgeous enchantress.
  • @jp-qn4je
    “Darn it mom, all I got for Christmas was this Rolls Royce...?!?....and Davey got a vile of horse jism!”
  • @jackykong4970
    @19:00 You open your expencive cigar box to be greated with "Smoking causes heart attacks" lol
  • Full respect to Vik for being open about his Chrons. My partner, who’s almost 40, has it and it’s not easy. It was refreshing to see Vik talk about it - gives the younger generations a greater idea about chronic conditions, especially when they hear it from someone they look up to.
  • @Dialogue_SC
    "we uncovered that the world's most valuable liquid, actually comes from thoroughbred horses." whoever wrote this line deserves a raise.
