JEFF: Wow. Okay. Yeah. It's a lot tougher to see. Just trying to keep the feet straight. This is a lot right now. I'm trying to keep my footing, trying to let the rope out at the right speed. And I'm trying to not think about falling to the bottom. Like I don't know if I can do this.

DILLON: All right, Jeff. I'm gonna come down and meet you.

JEFF: Okay! Oh my gosh. Ooh. (grunts)

DILLON: All right. Careful feet. Careful feet. One at a time.

JEFF: Ohh. Ohh. (rustling) Oh.

DILLON: Just hold it tight.

JEFF: Right now, I'm thinking about all of these ropes and pulleys and clamps and boots that's supposed to keep me up. And they're actually working. Oh.

DILLON: Yes, beautiful. You got it, dude. Dude, this is awesome. Yeah, Jeff!

JEFF: As I'm going through it, I'm starting to get the hang of it and I'm, I'm understanding the mechanisms of it.

DILLON: Keep it coming.

JEFF: I am in a zone.

DILLON: Yes, dude!

JEFF: Whoo! I don't even feel the aches and pains from kayaking.

DILLON: Ooh! (yelling)

DILLON: Yeah, dude!

JEFF: Bro!

DILLON: Yeah!

JEFF: Oh my gosh!

DILLON: Right on!

JEFF: Oh...

DILLON: That was amazing.

JEFF: My gosh!

DILLON: That was incredible.

JEFF: We did that. I was like so nervous, I didn't think my feet would like be able to like hold on. But it, it works. You know, I'm proud of how I was able to stay calm and just focus on the things that will get me through this safely. And if I can do it here, maybe I can do it at tomorrow's fiesta.

DILLON: So what do you think? You feel ready for the balloon now?

JEFF: Bro, I think I, I might be. This took me like out of my comfort zone for real.

DILLON: There you go.

JEFF: And bro, after that spill doing the kayaking, this is the confidence boost I needed.

DILLON: Excellent. Glad to provide, man.

JEFF: All right, man.

DILLON: Next time you come to New Mexico, stay on the rocks, stay out of the water.

JEFF: Like I don't know what else to tell you. Let's bring on this balloon. Whoo! Let's go!

Introduction to ions | High school chemistry | Khan Academy

So my apologies. I just had a deviated septum surgery yesterday. But what we’re going to talk about in this video is the notion of an ion. So before we talk about ions, we’re just going to talk about the idea of an element. For example, if I have carbon,…

Comparing features of quadratic functions | Mathematics II | High School Math | Khan Academy

So we’re asked which function has the greater Y intercept. The Y intercept is the y-coordinate when X is equal to zero. So F of 0, when X is equal to zero, the function is equal to, let’s see, F of 0 is going to be equal to 0 - 0 + 4, is going to be equa…

Zeros of polynomials: plotting zeros | Polynomial graphs | Algebra 2 | Khan Academy

We’re told we want to find the zeros of this polynomial, and they give us the polynomial right over here, and it’s in factored form. They say plot all the zeros or the x-intercepts of the polynomial in the interactive graph. This is a screenshot from Khan…

Enthalpy and phase changes | Thermodynamics | AP Chemistry | Khan Academy

[Instructor] Let’s say that we have some solid water or ice, and we want to melt the ice and turn the solid water into liquid water. This phase change of solid water to liquid water is called melting, and it takes positive 6.01 kilojoules per one mole to …
