"just bend it into a boomerang and throw it at ya mates aye" that was the most Aussie thing I have ever heard

I love the “na no” intro

2:13 the mini casually chilling with the nanos

Steve: *pulls out nano* Everyone: A W W W

This nano is too dangerous to throw away. I know what i'll do, I'll put it in an airtight glass jar and make a glass frag grenade.

I want a update on the nuggets in the jar

The rectangular Ipod Shuffle with the USB built onto it, and the 3rd gen nano, were the pinnacles of the Ipod product line. The ipod touch was more akin to a gameboy than an Mp3 player with all the games we played back then. (Back then, we used them for playing a game called TapTap Revenge, and less for scrolling facebook, it wasn’t until gen 4 of the touch that things began changing in terms of what we really did with touch screen devices)

When the 1GB used to cost $500 Now, a 1Tb micro SD costs $234

"ₙₐ₋ₙₒ" 10 hour when?

any updates on the cursed jar of nanos?

The 3rd gen nano is immediately what I think of when I hear "iPod". Had one of those as a kid, somehow. Parents weren't exactly rich so maybe they bought it off someone secondhand.

Time to listen to an Australian man yell about iPods

I had one of those green nanos and loved it to death. Made videos with it all the time and took it everywhere. I watched ATLA episodes and American Pie on the damn thing. When I was moving out I found it at the bottom of a drawer. I was so excited I hadn't seen it in years. But picking it up, I saw it. My heart stood still... The black spot.

I have had my 6th gen nano for 11 years now and it still works! I loved how they integrated the built in clip. Call me crazy but I'd like to see them come back. With the technology of today, I'd bet they would be nice. Especially if it had 1TB memory. Maby make them like the Nintendo switch. Only the over ear headphones as the dock. And slide out the pod to watch movies on the go.

The Most Iconic Line In The Start "Na No"

I found a 1st gen nano like that in white in my grandparents house a long time ago...I was able to bring it back to life with just the USB cable I had...It was the most amazing thing and I adored it, it's battery and screen were perfect (for some reason) and I would still have it and would still be using it today if I hadn't spilled a bit of water in the middle of the night...in the morning I found it with a puffed battery...it was very sad...I loved that little nano...I would love to still have it today...

It's a fire hazard! So I put it in a jar...with a safety label on it. "Shake the jar! (win a prize)"

“I’ve had to keep it in a jar with a safety label!!” *shake the jar :)*

I’ve had a nano 7th gen for a long while now and before that it was my brothers, and there have been absolutely no issues with the display or anything! It’s served me well for the time I’ve used it.

As someone who owns a watch sized nano (I got it new at the time with a very nice and reasonably priced watch band that looks awesome and has proven nigh indestructible), I am super glad to hear that my only ipod is not an explosive strapped to my wrist that could erupt in flames at any moment. Also, I look forward to having to learn to replace the original battery after all these years.

I'd put mineral oil in that jar. You can store pure lithium metal and other reactive elements like potassium and sodium. So by putting the oil in the jar, your electronics will probably be fine. More importantly you can still watch the battery expanding but no risk of exploding glass fire

who else remembers brick breaker solitaire and guess the song on this thing

I have a lot of nostalgia for those colorful, tall nanos.

I have a little note about the ‘freakish’ nano 6th gen. Okay, so I have owned three of these since 2010. I have never had any issues with the batt expanding, however on all three the power button has collapsed in. It recently happened to my last surviving one, so now it can only be turned on by being plugged in and turned off when the battery dies. Pretty disappointing, as those are actually a pretty solid device for the gym and going out for runs.

This guy is the reason I now subconsciously say “na-no” every time I see a Nano.

“Hopefully if it does catch fire *its in a pressure sealed glass bomb* “

If you ever consider replacing the battery in one of these, making sure that it's fully discharged would probably remove the fire risk by a decent bit. The fire risk comes form the charge that's in the battery. The electrolyte that sits between the anode and cathode of the battery is flammable, and when a battery is damaged or bent it can cause a short between the sides of the battery, and if there's a lot of charge left in the battery, that short will let a lot of current from one side to the other, which generates the heat that can cause the electrolyte to catch fire. If the battery is dead, there's no charge that wants to get to the other side of the battery, so it's much less likely to catch fire.

_"Shake the jar win a prize"_ *but I don't want to win a fire hazard*

I love how papa Steve pulled the nano out of the tiny pocket inside the regular pocket

7:53 I actually really like the oval shape it kinda unique and it looks nice

1:37 Fun fact: That nugget player was used by Jobs as an example of a typical high-end flash player, in order to explain the features of iPod mini, the predecesor of the nano. So, basically, that nugget was the primordial enemy of the nano.

I begged for a Razor, my dad said no. I got a perfect score on my state test. The highest in the state. They made me take it again with a state representative observer. I got another perfect score. My dad still said no, and told me to “get the groceries out of the trunk.” The phone was in the trunk. I died that day....of happiness. Plus everyone in my class passed the state test because I signed the answers to them....which is probably why they sent a state observer. I’m still happy about it. No child was left behind.

My silver 2nd gen is still trucking along nicely, besides one row of dead pixels on the screen it's doing fine. Considering it spent it's life on an iPod dock it hasn't got a swollen battery yet. *Crosses fingers*

"I'm no technician." Says the man who invented the Shrek pod

Shouldn’t those Nano’s be at least 6 feet apart?

I've bought a second hand 5th gen Nano because my 14 year old self never had the chance to have one, so now at nearly 30 and having my own money I finally had that dream come true. It's in such good shape, little to no scratches, came with the original earphones (the rubber parts have already fallen off, what a surprise) and charger and the system works perfectly; the only problem is that the battery is old as hell and doesn't hold a nice charge, I can listen to it for about 1 hour before it shuts down and I put it to charge again. Really lucky that eventhough this Nano has belonged to someone, it has no black spot!! I really want to have the battery changed but I just can't find someone that's familiar with this type of work! Maybe one day I'll get brave, buy the tools, the battery and try it myself. Like people say, yolo.

2:22 the nana was genius

I own repair shops, we pride ourselves on fixing ANYTHING. And I recently banned the nano.

The best way of passing quarantine, watching some dude that lives upside down on a very big island talking about some nanos and why they stink. 10/10

I love he wrote ‘Shake the Jar’ on the perfect fireproof container 😂

2:11 that calvin line was legit a selfless act of comedy.

Every time he pulls out a nano I get excited to hear the "na no" part...

It’s a shame we haven’t resolved the issues regarding the dreaded spicy pillow. Hopefully that’ll come soon.

"Oh! The iPad's the wrong way!" is what I thought the comments would be full of.

I died when he said 500 bucks for ONE GIG IF STORAGE 😂😂😂

I'm waaay to invested in old school iPods now.

"dont worry, weird-sounding random aussie laugh isnt real, it cant hurt you." weird-sounding random aussie laugh: 1:11

Ah yes. Let’s place the battery that might explode into a glass jar. Frag grenade.

holy fuck you just unlocked a bank of memories by yoinkin that rio out. i had one of those. oh GOD THE MEMORIES

I like when you said “Na no” at the beginning. So cute 😂

Not disappointed just terrified I have a tiny bomb lost somewhere in a junk drawer o_o

There’s just something so funny about him raving about the marvel that is the Nano and then the abrupt “they are cursed” and the music stops

The “shake the jar win a prize!” Killed me 😂

Doesn't even add that 44 seconds to make it 10min, respect

I’m turning that intro “na no” into my ringtone.

I freakin loved the freaks of the iPod nano. I had them for FOREVER, and they still work to this day!!!

I had a 7th gen when I was a kid growing up in elementary school. Made the bus rides to and from school so much more bearable lol

"Shake the jar, win a prize" 😂 I like how they're kept in a glass jar with an airtight seal like the expansion of gasses wouldn't explode the jar l

The third gen nano was the best iPod ever made. Fight me. I still have mine and it's running after a cycle through the washer and dryer, and after losing the scroll wheel. It's amazing and I love it.

I had a nano similar to the one that was gonna explode. I washed it. It still worked. Don’t remember what happened to it.

My parents keep a nano in their car with the black spot and I’m waiting to see their car on fire.

Sorry bout the sad episode, it's just how it is! I do have a nano that works perfect even after being put through a washing machine twice, but I've had nanos that looked fine begin to swell up only when charged again... bit of a gamble I suppose. You can put rockbox on a nano if you want a "mod" of sorts. I'm not qualified to play with flash storage on a mobo, even James is doubtful! Nanos are hard core difficult ipods.

Now that I've watched this video, I fear the day that my nano will spontaneously be engulfed in flames

I found a 5th gen classic at goodwill with an aftermarket battery. The battery expanded so far that the screen had cracked and it had actually pushed the top case off the bottom case a bit

I used to use the 3rd gen nano daily and I can confirm the display issues and another issue with them is even if you spill the tiniest drop of water on them there are garboge

I've been looking for a _na no_ compilation. Just have to put 0.00 on repeat

I just watched the “na no” and automatically subscribed 😂

Grew up with a nano, and the only issue i see is the screen has extremely yellowed from lack of use, i wanna do more research on that, but if the battery hasnt bulged, i might change the battery while i still can, itll be difficult but if it stops working its no sweat off my back seeing as how i dont use it anymore

The "na-no" kiled me😂😂😂

- N A - - N O -

the nano 5th gen was my first ipod, and honestly I have to say it’s one of the most durable things i’ve ever owned- i literally found it in a cup of water (it had been submerged for a day at the least), put it in rice, and it still works to this day. heck, i even left it outside for SIX MONTHS (because i was a dumb little kid) and it worked like new- it’s kind of startling to see that they were such a big problem! I still have it and i’ve never seen the black spot- but i’ll keep a look out!

Now I’m paranoid that all of my old portable tech has batteries that are slowly expanding until they will one day burn my house down while I’m at work.

OH GOD THAT 3 FLIP PHONE. A bunch of my mates had that phone and I was soooo jealous. The rotating camera was the height of technology in the 2000s.

“You can bend it into a boomerang and throw it at ya’ mates” My favorite dank pods quote

I know it's a year old video, but that blue nano is literally what my iPod nano looks like right now, down to the exact same color. Maybe the blue Nanos are extra cursed.

I actually had a third gen nano, I'm not shure if it got the Blackspot, but the battery did expand, it lifted the whole backplate up

Hey dank, just coming back to this video to let you know you saved my grandma's house from going "choo choo Bango" so to speak bc it's where i learned about pillowy batteries

DankPods: The iPod nano stinks! Me who loves iPod nanos: oh... um, ok... *cries in a corner*

I came here for the bad smells and you just keep spraying Calvin Klein everywhere!

I only recently found your channel and it's fun to try to date your videos solely on the speed of the patreon scroll! Keep up the good work m8

the perfect sassy voice threw me

I have a 3rd gen Nano connected to my car's stereo at all times. My car has voice commands so I rarely see the Nano. Every few months I bring it back inside my house, fill it up with new music, and back it goes into the car. It's one of the best things I own that improves my life and I got it for free.

4:30 Shake the Jar (win a prize)

Hope the "na no" meme becomes as popular as amogus

I can’t get over how cool looking the dark grey metallic one is with the black circle. It fits my metalhead sensibilities

8:58 That my friend, is a Microsoft Zune. Released in November 2006.

Thank you to this fellow Australian for flipping his videos upright for our viewing pleasure

The "na no" always gets me at the beginning. XD

2:09 SASSY IS THAT YOU?

immediately checked my own nanos... they're good. no black spot... YET

Taken out of context, this sounds almost inspirational: "You will have your bad smells" DankPods 2020

I'm still using my 5th Gen nano, absolutely love it. 12 years old and still working and regularly used. Sadly the battery is now starting to die, it's down to only about 4 hours of play time so I know I'll have to try and operate on it soon which I'm really not looking forward to. I really want it to survive but the casing is slightly bent from the years of abuse and so I don't know if it will survive.

I have a nano 1st gen, the screen has dead pixels but the back cover isn't bloated, the casing isn't cracked and the dead pixels aren't the pixels themselves, but the backlight, with the backlight off you can't tell that it doesn't work in those spots, its only when you turn the backlight on.
