Hi, and welcome back to
2:21
Co. My Favorite Sports Team.
2:23
I'm here live from Tom
2:25
Brady's bathroom. Mark,
2:29
how'd you get in there? Ah, you know, I
2:31
snuck in. It turns out he's so famous that
2:33
his house is so big that he forgets to
2:36
lock all the doors at night, got right in
2:38
here, snuck my whole setup in, and here I
2:40
am. Let me tell you, the guy's as much
2:42
of a legend as they say. Every part of
2:44
him, every bit of him. From wake up to
2:47
go to bed, he's time. He's a legend. Each
2:49
time. Each time. I
2:51
just wanted Tyler to start recording
2:53
because I wanted to get his live reaction.
2:56
Not in the hell. What do you
2:58
mean, what's wrong? Focus. Look
3:00
at me. There we go. I'm looking
3:02
at you. No, not you. The camera.
3:05
What's wrong? You talking to me?
3:07
Yeah, what's wrong? What's wrong with you? What
3:10
do you mean? When I'm talking to the camera,
3:13
I'm talking to you. This is the most unique
3:15
setup I have ever seen you put together. I'm
3:17
not even there to witness this glory of you
3:19
sitting in a bathtub with a camera facing the
3:21
mirror, reflecting into you. Is the door open? Yeah,
3:24
the door's open. It doesn't matter. If it was
3:26
closed, it would be even more echoey than it
3:28
already is. Oh, gotcha. But in
3:30
all honesty, it's not that bad. No,
3:32
it isn't. I've, you know, I've been
3:34
meaning to ask you what mic that
3:36
is because I've been hyper curious because
3:39
of how well it seems to do
3:41
in general. Well, I'm
3:43
not sponsored by them. I'm not at
3:45
all, but I'll take a sponsorship. This
3:47
is the mic. I'll add it
3:49
to that list that we have that nobody
3:51
has looked at since I've made it. What
3:54
list? What are you talking about? Because brands
3:56
reach out to that will happily sponsor people.
3:58
Oh, well, I don't even know. Like
4:00
I don't even know if they're a brand
4:02
that's large enough that they'd be doing advertisement
4:04
campaigns This is just me giving them free
4:07
promotion. That's fair But
4:09
I should get paid for his rights here that
4:11
would only be fair. That would only be fair
4:13
You know what Sam bleep all of it out
4:17
Until they pay it's bleeped. Well
4:20
mark It's very fitting that you have this
4:22
extremely obscure setup for the topic that we're
4:24
gonna cover today, which happens to be Badminton,
4:27
you know, there's some unique training
4:29
that goes into it I've been I've
4:31
been doing my research and looking into stuff
4:33
and man I've got some videos to share
4:35
with you about the training methods that these
4:38
athletes go through But before we get into
4:40
that have you got any jacuzzi got any
4:42
current vents? You got anything you want to
4:44
talk about get off your chest I just
4:46
loaded up the camera and made him start
4:48
recording So I haven't had any chance to
4:50
start things but I did see some things
4:52
that would be interesting to talk about I
4:54
saw I saw a tick-tock of what's called
4:57
single hit volleyball. Have you heard of this?
4:59
I have not heard of this So I don't
5:01
have a video or anything of it queued up
5:03
because I didn't have time to actually prepare but
5:05
single hit Volleyball is exactly as it sounds you
5:07
can only hit it once per side But you
5:09
still have a team of like five people So
5:11
the objective is more like with table tennis where
5:13
you have to hit it back immediately There's
5:16
no setting up. There's no passing to another.
5:18
There's no the three hits set up. It's
5:21
just straight up you hit it It goes
5:23
over you hit it again, wherever it is.
5:25
Whoever's there has to hit it back and
5:27
it was intense Why do you have
5:29
five people? I don't know just let me let me see
5:31
if I can find this because it Everything's
5:35
fine. I thought for a second you threw your mouse
5:37
across the room. Why would I do that? I'm not
5:39
I'm not angry. I feel like I should get you
5:41
some bubble baths for your tub. Let's not fill the
5:43
water That would be untoward. Where was I can't wait.
5:46
Why can't I find it's all just regular volleyball. No,
5:48
no, no, hold on I don't have my phone. Never
5:50
mind and Google is just really difficult
5:52
to use nowadays. It really is I don't know
5:54
what happened to it, but it sucks. It just
5:56
doesn't make sense because it did work and I
5:59
get them like We're gonna put more
6:01
ads into it, but I thought they would
6:03
have done that without ruining the functionality of
6:05
it I looked up one hit volleyball. Is
6:07
that it one hit? But now it's just
6:09
showing one hand and volleyball attack names the
6:12
one or quick. All right, it's okay We
6:14
don't need a video of it because the
6:16
video that I'm gonna put in people's minds
6:18
is gonna be even better imagine It's volleyball.
6:20
It's a dimly lit arena at night filmed
6:22
on a Nokia 81000 It's
6:26
a 2 megapixel 1.7 megapixel camera.
6:28
The noise is that ISO 12,800
6:32
super grainy super low resolution But it's it's
6:34
capturing all the intensity because the motion blur
6:36
is insane the ball comes over It's on
6:38
one team's perspective from the back end You're
6:40
seeing all the asses of the player of
6:42
the team you're on and you're seeing all
6:44
the front Asses of the team that you're
6:46
opposing crossing that the ball comes
6:48
over and then a guy dives for it
6:51
Perfectly back so goes to the back left corner Toss
6:55
it up barely makes it over the net someone
6:57
sets up and spikes it immediately Rebound
7:00
comes over our side far
7:02
back someone like smashes it
7:04
over from Everyone
7:11
diving everyone running people getting concussions from slamming their heads
7:13
into each other. It wasn't that long It was like
7:15
a 10-second clip, but imagine That's why the video that
7:17
I'm putting in people's minds is much better than the
7:19
video that actually exists in reality I'm
7:22
like Sora AI video but better
7:24
Wow, you know, it's amazing me Oh,
7:27
well, I'm not gonna disagree I
7:29
was gonna say this is something that
7:31
I kind of sort of played as a
7:33
kid because you'd play one person on each
7:35
side You can really only hit it once.
7:37
That's true. It was really cool. Like I
7:39
get that volleyball has Strategy and
7:41
like setting up things but it does
7:43
get a little repetitive That's the thing
7:46
that I've always noticed about and this
7:48
isn't disparaging for anyone to place volleyball
7:50
if there's any intense volleyballers out there
7:52
You can set down your volleyball pitchforks.
7:54
You can un-bunch your booty shorts. I'm
7:56
not insulting it I'm gonna insult volleyball,
7:59
but primarily because the NCAA
8:01
approved double contacts in
8:03
volleyball Which made it so
8:06
that you can basically make contact with the
8:08
ball more than once with any part of
8:10
your body and it allowed Double hits which
8:12
is literally makes no friggin sense This
8:14
is a recent development in volleyball because it's
8:16
like oh now you can just be like
8:18
I said it with a don't do in
8:20
two Hands why I don't know
8:23
why I think because they think that
8:25
fans or something weren't like we're confused
8:27
Why a set would suddenly be called
8:29
an illegal set or something? That's the
8:31
only thing I can imagine but the muddiness
8:33
of this rule change There's been
8:35
a lot of memes that have actually gone around about this
8:37
of people being like oh you can double hit now I
8:40
hit myself spike it the other direction The
8:43
thing about like volleyball in general with the
8:45
three hits It's like I never had any
8:47
moral objection to it, but I did notice
8:49
that it gets repetitive you do the same
8:51
thing It's like like they spike it over
8:53
donk set spike donk set spike donk set
8:55
spike It was always that back and forth
8:57
and it's not that that's bad. It's very
8:59
skillful I'm not diminishing the athletic ability
9:01
going behind it, but as a viewer it
9:04
did get dry It it made things a
9:06
very samey the thing about ping pong that
9:08
makes it interesting Is that it's kind of
9:10
random where it's gonna go for the viewer
9:12
not for the people playing because you know
9:14
the person is calculating Where they're gonna hit
9:17
and their their precision is on unbelievable. Oh,
9:19
yeah, but it makes the the speed of
9:21
reaction action Reactions so fast
9:23
so quick you never know what's gonna
9:25
happen That's why I like table tennis
9:27
and why watching table tennis is nuts
9:30
because they'll that the arena They play the
9:32
whole arena even though the table is tiny
9:34
but with this one hit volleyball. It was
9:36
nuts I I couldn't I watched it like
9:38
ten times in a row because I couldn't
9:40
tear my eyes off of it I was
9:42
like there's no way there's no way like
9:44
the ball was moving so fast The ball
9:46
was going everywhere and people were still making
9:48
incredible saves on it. I thought it was
9:50
very cool I am I'm
9:54
surprised it's even able to know that there's
9:56
someone here to autofocus on when it's shooting
9:58
through the mirror like, you know The
10:00
cameras and lenses, the technology, somehow it
10:02
works. I mean, this camera's, by now
10:04
it's like four years old, maybe five
10:06
actually. Oh look, your lighting's even changing
10:09
as the light peeks through whatever windows
10:11
in that room. Yeah, it's like, I've
10:13
just had this one window. It's actually
10:15
very pretty. There's like some cool reflections
10:17
and stuff. Like it's really hard to
10:20
beat natural lighting. It's very nice.
10:22
It's very true. Natural lighting is the best
10:24
type of lighting. Anyway, that's all I got,
10:26
unless you want more life updates, but we
10:28
could probably take up the whole episode with
10:30
that, which I wouldn't mind doing. It's fine.
10:33
Yeah, yeah. We can definitely hit on that.
10:35
I feel like life updates could, I
10:37
mean, you guys basically just did an
10:39
entire distractable episode on life updates. I
10:41
just listened to it, which apparently I
10:43
was talked about like a quarter of
10:45
the episode, which was really interesting. I
10:47
don't remember which one was it. It
10:49
was the one where Bob tasted hot
10:51
tub waters. Oh, right. Where are we
10:54
talking about? I don't even remember. Yeah.
10:56
There's Wade talked about me
10:58
coming and surprising him as old unit breaking
11:00
and... Oh, right, right. The maple syrup. And then
11:02
apparently it was my fault that it was maple
11:04
syrup. I mean, it does seem like that would
11:06
be, that would be a hilarious prank that you
11:08
would pull. I just, you would think so outside
11:10
the box on it. You're like, oh man, this
11:12
is going to connect back to that time that
11:15
Wade and I, we found this
11:17
drunk Canadian who was high on maple syrup and
11:19
a ditch under a bridge. And then we ripped
11:21
off his limbs and it was so funny. So
11:23
I put him in a death defying situation. And
11:25
then broke his furnace because he would never look.
11:27
And then he'd die and that'd be funny. Listen,
11:30
I broke into your house. Things are, there
11:32
are many things that are not off the
11:34
table after doing that. The thing
11:36
about that was, oh, what was interesting is there were
11:38
two plausible solutions to Wade's dilemma. Did you read any
11:41
of them? There was like a couple posts on the
11:44
separate, the distractible separate. Yeah, it was an
11:46
animal that like peed, right? Some people said
11:48
it was cat pee because a cat who
11:50
is sick with a certain disease, their urine
11:52
can smell sweet or like maple syrup. But
11:54
there was another person that was actually a
11:56
furnace technician who was kind of like, a
11:58
lot of people were like, yeah. It sounds
12:00
like you got scammed, but let's be honest,
12:02
there are things in houses that can kill
12:04
you at any moment. You know Wade kept
12:07
joking about his raid on mitigation system going
12:09
out and that's like funny haha that keeps
12:11
going on. But those things are actually essential
12:13
to not dying? Yes. And
12:16
you know there are certain things that exist
12:18
in nature when you create like these dwellings
12:20
that we have and kind of make a
12:22
closed box that if something gets into the
12:24
closed box that can kill you, which can
12:27
happen or accumulate from the materials either to
12:29
build the box or just natural causes,
12:31
it's bad. And one of
12:33
them, they were a furnace tech and
12:35
they were like they were caught by
12:37
the furnace tech's reaction to looking in
12:39
the furnace and then going nope, nope,
12:41
yeep and then putting a safety tag
12:43
on it, turning it all off immediately.
12:45
Because like that response can only be
12:47
a few things and that's like a
12:49
furnace that is burning fuel improperly and
12:52
creating a byproduct of I think they
12:54
said aldehydes which have a sweet smell.
12:56
And if it's doing that it's also making
12:58
carbon monoxide which does not have an odor
13:00
and it's having all these things and in
13:03
conjunction with this raid on mitigation system going
13:05
out who's to say his carbon monoxide detector
13:07
was working or if he even has one
13:09
you know and so he's in the basement
13:11
right? Mm-hmm. And so there's a lot
13:13
of things that like look it's expensive to get a furnace
13:15
replaced but also people have and
13:17
probably will in the future still die
13:19
from faulty equipment and not having the
13:22
preventative measures to do anything about it.
13:24
I think Wade joked about not having
13:26
a carbon monoxide detector that worked. A
13:28
hilarious joke really. Well
13:30
I pointed out that there was this thing plugged in
13:33
to his island in this kitchen and he's
13:35
like oh yeah that's like a carbon monoxide
13:37
detector. It doesn't work though but no I
13:39
was like why is it there? I
13:42
hear a lot of things on the internet are made up you know
13:44
I hear I hear a rumor that a lot of things on
13:46
the internet are made up but there was
13:48
something that was talking about they had their carbon monoxide
13:50
detector going off in their home. What was strange about
13:53
it there was a few things strange about it I'm
13:55
not sure but it was like what was strange about
13:57
it is it kept going off he went outside immediately.
14:00
and he called the fire department, I believe, he
14:02
was told they would call back. So he gets
14:04
called back from the fire department and they say,
14:07
can you press the reset button on it? And he
14:09
goes and he presses it, it's still beeping. He's like,
14:11
how about you pull it out from the wall, disconnect
14:13
power and reconnect power? He's like, okay, but I don't
14:15
know what it's for. And he plugs it back, it's
14:18
still going off. And then he's like, I just ripped
14:20
the battery out of that thing and leave it unplugged.
14:22
The fire department told him. So,
14:24
and again, I don't know if this is
14:26
made up, but it just seems like, I
14:28
feel like that's not the proper methodology
14:31
behind a response. I
14:34
feel like at that point, they should be
14:36
like, maybe there's carbon monoxide in your house.
14:38
Maybe we should actually show up and do
14:40
something about this and not tell you to
14:42
turn off the device that's detecting it. I
14:44
think if it's real, it's in one of
14:46
those cities that has a pure volunteer fire
14:48
department. Yeah. Because some cities that are
14:50
so small that they only have a volunteer, actually some
14:52
cities that are not so small have a volunteer fire
14:54
department and they may not actually
14:57
be competent to do anything, which would
14:59
be really unfortunate. Good thing that
15:01
never happens where people who are
15:03
incompetent at the job are put
15:05
into important situations. No, totally, you're
15:07
right. Never happened. Politics. Anyway,
15:10
in other news, so we can get into
15:12
sporting news now, the
15:14
Team USA basketball team has officially been
15:17
assembled for the Olympics. And
15:19
boy, is it filled with
15:21
star power. You got a starting
15:23
lineup of Steph Curry, LeBron James,
15:26
Jason Tatum, Kevin Durant, and Joel Embiid.
15:28
You know, it's funny, I actually know
15:30
four of the five people. I know.
15:33
And it's like, I'm starting to learn more and
15:35
more and I'm like, I know enough to be
15:37
like, that's a good lineup, but they have more,
15:39
right? They have more like, oh yeah, yeah. The
15:41
lineup consists of 12 different players. So
15:43
that's gonna be the team, but
15:45
it is completely filled with star power.
15:48
This is considered one of
15:50
the better lineups the USA has
15:52
put together in the sense of superstar
15:54
NBA talent all being on the same
15:56
team since the era of like when
15:58
Kobe, LeBron, Dwayne, Wade were on a
16:01
team or going back to the
16:03
days of Michael Jordan and the dream team back
16:05
in the day. Why wouldn't
16:07
they always have the best team?
16:10
So the interesting thing is because the
16:12
Olympics in and of itself, there's not
16:14
really much of an incentive for the
16:16
best players in the world to join
16:18
when they're making tons of money in
16:20
the NBA. You risk injury, they don't
16:22
get paid well at all comparatively for
16:24
doing the Olympics. I got to
16:26
put on my headband. My hair. I took
16:28
a shower. I had dinner up all the way to the day.
16:30
My hair was wet. So it was like, oh, it's perfectly staying out
16:32
of my face. And then as it dries, it just goes, and
16:35
then I turn emo. So it's like a monster
16:37
coming for your eyes. So
16:40
it's hard to necessarily recruit the players
16:42
in recent years to get the best players to
16:44
come on there. I can see. Oh, and the
16:46
camera probably can see me a lot better. Yeah.
16:49
For those who don't know, I'm sorry. I'll let you finish your
16:51
story. The reason I wear a headband is my hair is really
16:53
annoying when it gets to a certain length. It
16:56
just goes in my mouth and my face and my eyes
16:58
anyway. But on top of that, there's an interesting story
17:00
that just broke about Joel Embin, who
17:02
I believe is French American.
17:05
Wait, let me wait. I'm gonna say what team he's on. He's
17:08
on the Kings, right? No. No. Am
17:10
I saying it to someone else? I believe he plays
17:13
for the 76ers. Oh,
17:16
never mind. That's not who I thought that
17:18
was. But a story
17:20
recently broke that Joel Embin seemingly
17:22
betrayed the French people because
17:24
there was a letter that came out in the
17:26
sense that he had promised
17:28
to be a part of the French
17:32
national team for the Olympics and
17:34
instead betrayed them to
17:37
join Team USA because he's like, there's no way
17:39
if I played for the French, I would beat
17:41
this team. So if I can't beat him, I'm
17:43
going to join them. So that's the
17:45
recent story that's broken, what's being talked about
17:47
that I was looking at yesterday. Ah,
17:50
well, that is kind of shitty just
17:52
because you're like, well, I'm going to
17:54
lose. So screw that. I don't know
17:56
if that's his reason. Like obviously he
17:58
didn't say anything. But he had
18:01
promised the French president that he would
18:03
only play for France. Well,
18:05
that's, I
18:07
mean, I don't know what the French people think
18:09
of the French president, but at the same time,
18:12
if you're going to promise anybody and you know,
18:14
kind of means something if you promise that to
18:16
the president. Yeah. So it was back in 2021.
18:19
He sent an official letter to French
18:21
president, Emmanuel Macron or Macroon. I don't
18:23
know how to pronounce it. You
18:27
put some extra O's in there. It's fine.
18:29
My rapport with the French is just going
18:31
downhill as I continue to live. It's okay.
18:34
You couldn't admit you hate. We
18:37
all know it to be true. I
18:40
don't, of course, but you know, I
18:42
know you're deep seething hatred for the
18:44
French people. I wonder if this
18:46
was back when he was trying to get his
18:48
citizenship to be a French citizen, because he is
18:51
a French citizen. Was he, was he or was
18:53
he not? Yeah. He acquired French citizenship in 2022.
18:56
So if he sent that letter in
18:58
2021, I wonder if it was to
19:00
win them over in order to get
19:03
his French citizenship pushed through earlier. Who
19:05
knows? This is all speculative, but I
19:07
love speculating though. Speculating is the best.
19:09
Mechulating. But apparently, Embiid
19:11
has betrayed the French. Fuck him.
19:14
So that's my sports news. Last
19:16
good sports news. Anything else happening
19:18
in the world of sports? I mean, there's
19:21
always stuff happening in the world of sports.
19:23
The NBA playoffs just began. You know, baseball
19:25
is in full swing now officially in the
19:27
US. I went to the
19:29
boxing gym again. That's news in sports,
19:31
right? That's big news. That's huge news,
19:33
actually. Yeah. I finally have recovered from
19:36
my concussion in the sense that whatever's
19:38
left is permanent damage, I guess. So
19:40
I can work out now. That's
19:42
an optimistic way to know about it. We're
19:44
like, uh, when you, when you got into
19:47
that bike accident, um, like how fast was
19:49
the cargo and where like helmet, like, what
19:51
was the situation? Oh, I had the full
19:53
face helmet on. Um, I luckily was wearing
19:55
jeans and everything, but I was going, I
19:57
was just, I was flying straight on in.
20:00
the bike lane. I was on my way home so
20:02
it was at top speed at this point. Which is
20:04
on that bike is like 28 you know 30 miles
20:06
an hour. Correct. Correct. The legal 28 is 28. So
20:10
a car turned left into a driveway in front
20:12
of another car because you know cars take a
20:14
while to get going but all the lights on
20:16
the street I was on turned green at the
20:18
same time. So I had come through one green
20:20
light and had kept going and then this car
20:23
was just like yeah go ahead pass through apparently
20:25
and the person turned left in front of them
20:27
without looking and I slammed on my brakes and
20:29
the last thing I remember is going like
20:31
this and then next thing I know I
20:33
was standing. There's
20:35
a big black spot. I was like I
20:38
was in the midst of getting up. I
20:40
have I don't remember anything from the actual
20:42
impact. I was definitely woosed and luckily a
20:44
witness like helped me to like actually get
20:46
information before I rode off. But the thing
20:48
is I almost rode through red light with
20:51
traffic going full speed the other way on
20:53
my way home because of how dazed I
20:55
was. And that's when I was like oh
20:57
no my head is royally fucked. That's no
20:59
good at all. So I got home
21:02
called called my lawyer first which is
21:04
such a mean thing. That's very you.
21:06
Yes that's good. He told me
21:08
some stuff to do. I called my dad and
21:10
then I called my
21:13
buddy who lives closer to me and he picked me
21:15
up and drove me to the yard. Well that is
21:18
good that you're fully recovered from that and good
21:20
that you have your helmet and good that you
21:22
landed on your feet. I'm imagining you did a
21:24
triple spin in the air and you went. I
21:27
actually have a video of it. I just need
21:29
to find a DVD player. Yeah.
21:31
Wait what. There is a
21:34
traffic cam that documented the whole thing. Oh
21:36
how did you get that. Public records. You
21:38
just write in a report and then you pay. I think
21:40
it was like fifty two bucks or something. I got the
21:42
copy of it. So then you would be the one to
21:45
go through all that. I wouldn't even
21:47
thought about that. Well that's because the lawyer told
21:49
me to because evidently I have some stuff I
21:51
need to do to you on. But that's another
21:53
story for another day. I mean yeah you should
21:56
follow up about that but that's all very good.
21:58
OK. Well you're back in the box. Jim.
22:00
I am and I am sore. There's a
22:02
little mini Jim in this in this Airbnb
22:05
I'm staying at that I could work out
22:07
and then I wanted to this morning really
22:09
badly but um, TikTok.
22:15
I gotta delete it. It's getting bad. It's
22:17
so there's like science now that it's bad
22:20
for ADD, but in sports news I don't
22:22
have my phone on me. I'm getting it's
22:24
I'm training it and I'm getting really funny
22:26
basketball clips Like just I'm starting to get
22:28
really funny like compilations of someone doing voices
22:30
and shit over basketball clips And they're very
22:32
funny and and I don't want to lose
22:35
out on that man or else I won't
22:37
have any idea of what to talk about.
22:39
See Mark you need to follow me and
22:41
I will send you all the sports clips
22:43
Oh, I don't follow anybody But
22:46
I can't send you the sports clubs because
22:48
they don't follow me man TikTok really wants
22:50
me to open up my messages to literally
22:52
everybody. Oh my god. That drives me nuts
22:55
I'm like, why do you think this is a
22:57
good idea? Why do you think it's a good
22:59
idea? Because that happened I did that intentionally for
23:01
instagram ruined instagram's messaging system for even to this
23:03
day It's ruined it by opening it up for
23:06
an hour. I accidentally opened it up once and
23:08
I all of a sudden I was like, why
23:10
am I getting messages? I don't follow this person
23:12
that I go Oh go back gettin change it
23:14
back and I get that it's a
23:16
very me problem Not many people have like the
23:19
scale of the issue that I have but still
23:21
I would think that they would understand that If
23:23
you have a certain follower count, it's not the
23:25
best well, not even that like it's like the
23:28
whole problem with like So many places that
23:30
do so many different things in the sense
23:32
of like help you find your former classmates
23:36
And it's like this good intentions come
23:38
bigger problems It might be
23:40
banned sometime soon So I don't think we'll have
23:42
to worry about it too much Um, because there's
23:44
literally legislation saying that if they have to sell the company,
23:46
you know what I mean? Oh, yeah, you
23:48
haven't heard about this. Oh, oh you talking about
23:51
tiktok? Yeah tiktok Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're
23:53
talking about the thing we're talking about. What do
23:55
you mean? Sorry. Sorry My
23:57
brain was like legislation on the can't find
23:59
your classes ever again? Sick. No,
24:02
no, no, no. Well, I do think that there's some
24:04
really, uh, not so good privacy
24:06
things going on because I keep telling it like
24:08
it has doesn't have permission to access my contacts,
24:10
doesn't have permission to like access my email, doesn't
24:12
have permission to search up any of my every
24:14
other people based on that stuff. And still every
24:16
time I open the app, it's like, hey, you
24:18
might know these people. And I'm like, how the
24:20
fuck do you know that? That person isn't an
24:22
influencer. And you're telling me and I know who
24:24
that is that you're suggesting. How the fuck do
24:26
you know that? I mean, everyone, everyone's got a,
24:28
a, a, everyone's got to understand that like,
24:30
if your data is on the internet,
24:33
it's being seen by not necessarily
24:35
people all the time, but it's going through
24:37
a bunch of different servers. Everyone's data is
24:39
bouncing around everywhere. There's a huge business and
24:41
just peeling apart that data. All right, badminton.
24:43
Time to actually talk about sports. Badminton. Shuttlecock.
24:45
I saw a video of someone balancing a
24:48
shuttlecock. It was a very intricate like thing.
24:50
They had a tube that was spinning air
24:52
and they would throw it in there and
24:54
it would spin and if it would start
24:56
to drift, they would rearrange the feathers in
24:58
it, put it in again and spin and
25:00
it drifted and they rearrange the feathers until it
25:02
spun perfectly and stayed in the center. That's cool.
25:05
It was pretty cool. I was very impressed
25:07
because I was like, I wouldn't have thought
25:09
that the physics of that thing would be
25:12
that intricate. But I guess if it needs
25:14
to always kind of face flip and face
25:16
forward, go down so that you can hit
25:18
it and then it'll go out and then
25:21
go down like so that the rubber part,
25:23
the hitable part is ready in there. That
25:25
is interesting. It's very interesting. Yeah. I wonder
25:27
if that's actually a part of calibrating the
25:29
official ones that they use for the Olympics
25:32
and different stuff like that. It might be
25:34
honestly, because you would need consistent things, like
25:36
especially in the Olympics, you'd think anyway, but
25:38
you'd need like properly calibrated things. Yeah. So,
25:42
ancient Rome, they would take
25:44
baby birds and wham, wham
25:46
over the Roman Colosseum. Boom,
25:50
am I right? God, don't tell
25:52
me I'm right. Are you frozen right now?
25:54
No. Oh, okay. All right. Wait, you were
25:56
so still. Thank you. Thank you. I've been
25:59
practicing my statuings. Is that
26:01
correct? No, you just jumped away ahead of
26:03
me. You introduced me to how
26:06
intense some people can take
26:08
badminton. Outside of the Olympics, in the fact
26:10
of the episode about Korean sports, and you
26:12
were watching it on TV, I had no
26:14
clue that it was that popular. Yeah, yeah,
26:16
they were going at it. It's actually crazy
26:18
that the Olympics are this year. I
26:20
forgot because it hasn't been four years because
26:22
the other one was on 2021 because of the delay.
26:26
But yeah, it's like, here we are again,
26:28
about to go into the summer Olympics. But
26:33
tell me what you do know about
26:36
badminton. OK, badminton, it can be played
26:38
with one person on the side, but
26:40
there's a big net that divides the
26:42
court into it's smaller than a tennis
26:45
court. It's smaller than a volleyball court,
26:47
probably bigger than table tennis. But maybe
26:49
the arena of table tennis is similar
26:51
to the arena. I don't know anything.
26:54
Two sides net shuttlecock. That's all you
26:56
need to know. You take a tennis
26:58
racket, you stretch it up, scale it
27:00
down, make it into a lollipop. Imagine
27:03
in your mind you're rotating a tennis racket,
27:05
turn it into a lollipop. There you got
27:07
a badminton racket. But same size, same overall
27:09
size, but lollipop. It's just like a longer
27:12
stick. Yeah, with a smaller head, smaller bulbous
27:14
tip for buskis is less
27:16
pronounced. Smaller boober. So a
27:18
boober, you know, what is
27:21
for the glands? What?
27:25
Mammary glands? No, it's the
27:27
medical term of the tip
27:29
of a penis. I
27:32
took biomedical engineering. Which
27:34
glands? There's a ton
27:36
of glands. No, not
27:38
glandusa. No, G-L-A-N-S. Oh,
27:40
glands. Oh. I
27:44
thought you were saying glands. Like, well,
27:46
I know what you thought I was saying, but
27:48
no, I was talking about the boober of the
27:50
badminton racket. Okay, okay.
27:52
The glands, you know, you
27:55
got that, the shaft, the
27:57
corpus cavernosum, the corpus somethingosum.
28:00
I forget vast deference. Well,
28:02
that's that's the tube inside
28:04
that comes before the urethra
28:06
you right the Epididymus which
28:08
is in the testes and
28:10
it's where the sperm gets stored. I
28:12
don't know how that relates to We
28:17
went from shuttlecocks to just cocks two
28:19
guys on a sports podcast It's gonna
28:21
get good talk about dicks a little
28:23
bit I imagine but wait, I need
28:25
to paint the picture Oh, I've already
28:27

29:08
comm I was traveling internationally
29:10
last year I was in Mallorca. I didn't know
29:12
the island. Well, I said, let me head to
29:14
the north head towards the water Let me go
29:16
on hotels calm and see what they have available
29:18
something preferably on the beach. Maybe even a gym
29:20
Not only did I get those things? There
29:23
was a kid session with
29:25
exercise Gymnastics in the
29:27
water pony rides a train
29:31
it had everything and I didn't want any of those
29:33
things But at least I
29:35
knew they were there just in case I
29:37
changed my mind and now finding the perfect
29:39
hotel has never been easier Thanks to the
29:41
hotels calm app whether you're looking
29:43
for a family friendly Right all
29:46

29:52
amenities side by side So start
29:54
planning your next getaway and find
29:57
your perfect somewhere in the hotels
29:59
calm app Alright,
30:01
imagine. Man, woman, man-woman on opposite
30:04
sides of his head. Do you
30:06
know what the fundus is? Mark!
30:08
Do you want to know what the
30:10
fundus is? No! The
30:13
fact that it's called the fundus makes me not want
30:15
to know what it is. I
30:17
took it out of me, but I swear they
30:19
didn't cover the fundus when I was
30:21
taking it. If you look at the
30:23
uterus, the back of it or the
30:25
top of it, you know, the back
30:27
part apparently has a name and it's
30:30
called the fundus. Why? I don't know.
30:32
I don't know why every part
30:34
of every piece of ya needs to
30:36
have a separate name, but it does.
30:38
Are you googling fundus? There's a few
30:40
different definitions on here. How do they
30:42
relate to badminton? Alright, they relate to
30:44
badminton because it's the part of the
30:46
eyeball opposite the pupil. Oh!
30:48
Maybe it's just a general term for
30:51
the back of like a cavity or
30:53
something like that. Because if it's also
30:55
the back of the eyeball, the fundus
30:57
of the eyeball, then because the uterus
31:00
can have... Well, it doesn't really have
31:02
like a perfect orb shape inside, but you
31:04
understand the analogy. Then maybe the fundus is
31:06
just a reference to an anatomical term for
31:08
the back part of such thing. That would
31:11
make a lot more sense. It's
31:13
the term for the hollow part of the organ. No!
31:15
It's the back wall of a womb! It
31:17
literally says the part of a hollow organ. Oh,
31:19
actually you're right. It's the part of a...
31:21
The part of a hollow organ. That
31:24
is the farthest from the opening. Yes!
31:26
Yes! The fundus! That makes so much sense! There
31:28
you go. We learn more every day! Now here's
31:30
how it relates to badminton. Tyler? You
31:33
gotta aim for the hollow back part of
31:35
the court. That's how you get an advantage
31:37
and score your points. You're aiming for their
31:39
fundus, and they're aiming for your fundus? With
31:42
the shuttlecock! Got it. Okay. But
31:45
imagine. Shuttlecock flying through the air
31:47
like birds back and forth. How
31:49
many? So many birds! Ten birds!
31:51
One! It's one bird! You know,
31:53
two shuttlecock badminton might be fun.
31:56
Throw in an extra third one to make it even
31:58
more spicy. Then we get a... into a three
32:00
body problem and it would never work. But it's
32:02
all about precision. Only one hit to get it
32:05
over the net and you want to hit that
32:07
fundus. Fast pace, only seconds to get your racket
32:09
into place to return that cock. And you need
32:11
to be quick, agile, jumping and changing direction rapidly.
32:13
But you must race the 21 points and
32:17
win by two, rally scoring. Right.
32:19
Why is everything to 21 points? That
32:22
seems like a lot of points. You know,
32:24
cause it's a drinking aid. That's why. I
32:26
can't argue with that. That seems right. I'm
32:28
not gonna question it. Badminton is a game
32:30
that you've probably played in gym class or
32:32
even potentially in a backyard of your friends
32:35
or something like that. If they had a
32:37
little badminton net, it was actually pretty common
32:39
when we were kids to have a little
32:41
badminton net because it was like, ah, go
32:43
play with the net outside kids. And that
32:45
was what we did. All you need to
32:47
play is a shuttlecock, also known as a
32:49
birdie, a couple of rackets and maybe a
32:51
net. But this fun backyard game is actually
32:53
an Olympic sport like we talked about with
32:55
its own professional league and international tournament. I
32:57
have a question. Was
32:59
it originally played with a dead bird?
33:01
No. Are you sure? Original
33:04
shuttlecocks did use feathers of birds. So
33:06
in a way it was played with
33:08
the dead parts of a dead bird.
33:11
I feel like there's some dark beginnings
33:13
in this sport that may or may
33:15
not relate to ancient Rome. Who knows
33:17
where they took a bird and
33:20
they like stretched a piece of cloth across
33:22
sticks and then they whapped it back and
33:24
forth. I feel like then maybe, maybe, we'll
33:26
get into that when we get into history
33:29
here in a few moments. We
33:32
take your prediction and we hold it. If
33:34
I bet on this, is it sports
33:36
betting? That would be gambling, yes. Damn,
33:38
we don't endorse that. Exactly. Man, if
33:41
like that was like an ad break
33:43
right there and draft kings or some
33:45
shit like that just popped up. We
33:47
don't, don't do it. Don't do it
33:49
everybody. Don't, don't listen to them. Well
33:51
like tennis, it can be both singles
33:53
or doubles matches. Men singles, women singles,
33:55
men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles.
33:57
The reason we're covering it today is
34:00
the BWF Thomas and Uber Cup
34:02
Finals, the international championship tournaments for
34:04
badminton, kick off this weekend! So
34:08
it's time to learn about this sport so you can
34:10
watch it and enjoy it. On
34:12
where? I mean, God knows where you
34:14
watch anything you actually want to watch
34:17
these days. It's so hard, there's so
34:19
many streaming services in so many places,
34:21
you just gotta... It's crazy how accurately
34:23
we predicted how bad it was gonna
34:25
be. And yet, still underestimated how bad
34:28
it would be. Like, holy shit, it's
34:30
bad. Let me see if I
34:32
can find the where to watch of the Uber
34:34
Cup. Like it's just, it's so disparate, it's so
34:36
all over the place, and who would've thought? Who
34:39
would've thought? And I think, I
34:41
think I'm kinda making a prediction here, but
34:43
who would've thought that YouTube TV would actually
34:45
be one of the more convenient ways to
34:48
watch pretty much whatever you want? And all
34:50
it's doing is bringing cable TV to the
34:52
internet. Now people can shit on YouTube or
34:54
Google or whatever, but when it comes down
34:57
to convenience and I don't make anything off
34:59
of this, even though I'm a YouTuber, because
35:01
that's just so... YouTube TV is a very different company
35:03
from YouTube, a lot of Google is a very different
35:05
company from what YouTube is. I watched the Olympics last
35:07
time because I got a free trial of YouTube TV
35:10
and then I canceled it afterwards, but if I ever
35:12
were a person to watch TV, I'd be like, oh
35:14
wow, this actually has what I want and everything, and
35:16
I pull it up right away, and it's all in
35:18
one place. My dad used to have YouTube TV.
35:21
Not that I, I don't even watch shows anymore,
35:23
I don't watch anything, I haven't had the time.
35:26
I watched the Uber Cup final according
35:28
to this on Badminton Asia Championships
35:30
2024 live streaming. So
35:32
it's on the Badminton Asia official YouTube channel.
35:34
That's what I was seeing, I was seeing
35:36
Korea versus China at my grandma's house, because
35:38
that and tennis, table tennis, are huge. Like,
35:40
it's something about the fast-paced nature of it,
35:42
I think. It's just like, it's easily accessible
35:44
in a smaller space, but it's fast-paced, it's
35:46
super fun to watch. It's great, it's so
35:49
fast. I'm wondering if we're gonna need a
35:51
part two of this already. Oh man, I've
35:53
got an article here that I could save
35:55
for part two, I just saw. Well this'll
35:57
just be the history. Now we
35:59
can get through it, we can- get through it, we're fine,
36:01
we'll get through it, we'll get it. Hyper
36:03
speed. Alright, the exact origins? Unknown. But have
36:05
there been mentions of games involving rackets and
36:08
shuttlecocks and historic records of ancient
36:11
India, Greece, and China dating back almost 2,000
36:13
years? Basically Rome. You know, we need a
36:15
merch shirt that's like, all sports lead to
36:18
Rome. I mean yeah, that's
36:20
a great shirt. Print it. You'll find it.
36:22
Maybe. Eventually. Eventually. When we're out of our
36:24
limited edition one, you should buy it out!
36:26
Buy it so we can have more editions.
36:29
In medieval Europe, there were mentions of a
36:31
children's game called Battle Door and Shuttlecock.
36:33
This was a game where players used
36:35
their Battle Door, which was a paddle,
36:37
to keep a small feather shuttlecock in
36:39
the air as long as possible. A
36:41
similar game called Jeu de Vellon was
36:43
played by European nobility in the 17th
36:45
century. The country with the
36:48
most influence in creating the sport now
36:50
today is India. Variations of that game
36:52
date back almost 2,000 years and badminton
36:55
is still extremely popular in India to
36:57
this day. Back in the 1860s, British
37:00
army officers were introduced into what
37:02
now badminton while stationed in India.
37:04
What is now badminton? This
37:06
might be the most sun I've gotten
37:08
in weeks. This little beam on my
37:10
arm. Hold on, keep talking. Just soothe
37:12
me. I might, I might, ahh.
37:15
Yeah, take a nap. No, no, I just, I
37:17
need some sun in my eyes. Ahhh. Go on,
37:19
I'm listening. The
37:22
soldiers made their own changes with sports,
37:24
such as adding a net. They called
37:26
the net. The Poon Ah. Why would
37:29
they call it that? Why would they
37:31
do that? Poon Ah? Poon Ah. Spell
37:33
it. P-O-O-N-A-H. I
37:36
don't know what I expected. The Poon
37:38
Ah. The town where the garrison was
37:40
based. It's named after that. I feel
37:43
like we've all been making the same
37:45
joke all throughout history. I feel like
37:47
from the very beginning of all this,
37:49
it's all the same joke and it's
37:52
never stopped. It's all the same joke
37:54
and it's never stopped. 1867.
38:01
The origin of the modern version of Badminton
38:03
was in 1873 in Gloucestershire, England.
38:07
By the Duke of Betholdt, who learned the
38:09
game in India and introduced it to his
38:12
guests at a party, it said that the
38:14
Duke called the game the Badminton game after
38:16
the name of his estate, the Badminton
38:18
House. And people referred to the game as
38:21
Badminton from then on, because the uppity Duke
38:23
killed everyone else who would say otherwise. That's
38:25
speculation, but that's what I believe. Badminton
38:27
spread to the US in late
38:30
1800s, and the newspaper article in
38:32
the New York Daily Tribune from
38:34
March 9th, 1890, all about a
38:36
local athletics club's weekly Badminton game,
38:38
says, Every
38:41
Sunday afternoon, the big drill
38:43
room presents a decidedly gay
38:45
appearance. Men and women, usually
38:47
to the number of 150,
38:50
are there in faultless afternoon dress,
38:52
and the air is full of
38:54
gaily colored shuttlecocks. Nine courts are
38:57
laid out with precision by James
38:59
Kennedy, the energetic armor, and between
39:01
games, tea, sandwiches, and cakes are
39:03
served to the members and their
39:06
visitors. The poles that support the
39:08
net serve as flagstaff and flaunt
39:10
penance of red and gold, the
39:12
colors of the club. Brilliant giddens
39:14
mark the intersections of the court
39:16
boundaries and add to the general
39:19
beauty of the scene. That's very
39:21
nice. I have nothing else to say about that.
39:23
No one comes to make it. That's imperfectly ordinary.
39:25
The game increased in popularity in athletics clubs and
39:27
as a garden party game, and then in 1934,
39:29
the IBF, or the International
39:32
Badminton Federation, was established. It's
39:34
been wildly popular sport for many years, but it
39:36
didn't become an official Olympic sport until 1992. It is
39:38
now one of the world's most popular
39:41
sports, with an estimated 339 people playing worldwide, and 220 million
39:44
of those people
39:48
playing regularly. You only said 329 people playing
39:50
it worldwide. Did you mean to say
39:54
329 million people? 339 million, yeah. Okay, all right. I was very confused
39:56
for... One
40:00
of those popular games, like 300 people are
40:02
playing it. It's crazy. 339 million people,
40:04
sorry. But
40:06
it's time to play. All you need
40:08
is a racket, shuttlecocker too, and badminton.
40:10
I got it. Net. You
40:13
usually wear shorts and short sleeve shirts. Shoes
40:16
should be flat and provide strong grip to the
40:18
floor to prevent from sliding. And you'll want shoes
40:20
that have cushioning for jumping and landing, that
40:23
give enough ankle support to stabilize. So you know,
40:25
you don't roll your ankle. Separate shoes are the
40:27
same shoe for both. I mean, they should be
40:29
separate, but the same, because you don't want a
40:32
left shoe on a right foot. Well, you said
40:34
you need shoes for gripping the ground and you
40:36
need shoes with cushion. Are they the same shoe?
40:38
Is this way, what's going on here? Do I
40:40
switch shoe mid jump? You know,
40:43
knowing you, you could do it. Thanks, man.
40:45
Badminton rackets, usually made out of wood, with
40:47
the use of composite materials, such as aluminum,
40:50
graphite, and titanium. Today's rackets are rigid and
40:52
have lightweight frame. Usually weigh between three to
40:54
three and a half ounces, less than a
40:56
quarter pound. Frame overall length can only be
40:58
up to 680 millimeters, while
41:02
the overall width is restricted to 230 millimeters. But
41:04
there are no specifications for the length or width
41:06
of the handle, which you can customize for you.
41:08
Total cock has to have 16 feathers, has to
41:10
weigh between 4.74 grams and 5.5 grams, and
41:16
be 62 to 70 millimeters long. Those are
41:18
significant differences though. 4.7 to 5.5 grams. That
41:23
seems like a range. Like if it's that
41:25
minuscule of a size to begin with, then
41:27
the weight of hitting it would be pretty
41:29
drastic between from things to
41:31
things. You would get inconsistent results. You
41:33
know, I think they get more specific
41:36
based on different things, but for general
41:38
production purposes, it probably has to be
41:40
this, you know? Oh, I see, I
41:42
see. There might be greater specifications for
41:44
different tournaments, different leagues and stuff, but
41:47
for this particular things, they have to
41:49
be between these ranges to be eligible
41:51
to be tournament worth.
41:53
I wonder how much of that general
41:55
difference in size would affect the results
41:57
of some of the same basketball. You
41:59
have a basketball, right? You expect it
42:01
to be a basketball, but there are
42:03
tiny, tiny parameter shifts from
42:06
ball to ball that you cannot make
42:08
something that is perfectly identical whether you
42:10
want to or not. You have tolerances.
42:12
Even in the most precision engineering, you
42:14
have tolerances that are acceptable. And I
42:17
imagine in manufacturing these and filling it
42:19
with air and the mixture of the
42:21
air would affect in such tiny minuscule
42:23
ways, but it would affect the wear
42:26
on the surface of it. I wonder
42:28
how much people's athletic performance comes down
42:30
to whether or not they train with
42:32
like a bunch of different types of
42:34
balls versus the same ball all the
42:37
time. Well, I imagine if you train
42:39
hard enough anyway, you're going to go
42:41
through various different ones regardless because the
42:43
wear and tear on the equipment. That's
42:45
true. I suppose that's true. There's like
42:47
Japanese knife makers that they grind by
42:50
hand on stone and they have to
42:52
know how the stone reacts when they
42:54
grind in. The stone is different because
42:56
the stone wears down just like the
42:58
steel does. And so they have to have a
43:00
feel for the weight and the balance. And I
43:03
think like those things can never be conscious. Like
43:05
you can't consciously understand that, but just like I
43:07
know the weight of this mouse when I pick
43:09
it up and there are people that make mice
43:11
that have minute changes. They have little weights that
43:14
you can add that are like 10 grams, five
43:16
grams, and you can feel the difference. That's why
43:18
a different mouse, like I have a specific mouse
43:20
because I have practiced so much on these mice
43:22
and there was a new version of it. They
43:25
made a new version of this mouse and I
43:27
was like, Oh, V3, that sounds great. It is
43:30
fundamentally, even though it
43:32
looks the same, it is a different feel.
43:34
It moves differently. I grip it differently and
43:36
I don't like it. It's weird. It's weird
43:38
that those tiny, tiny differences are noticeable. And
43:40
when you build up such a skill
43:43
set to be able to manipulate this with like this
43:45
and this is a skill to be able to do
43:47
this, then people don't even realize that. But it's like,
43:49
that's what keyboards matter because it's just like you get
43:51
used to something. You really do. Oh yeah. That's why
43:54
I'm so afraid when I need to get a new
43:56
keyboard because it's going to feel completely different, even if
43:58
it's the same one from the same. company they
44:00
have changed it so much I've tried it I
44:02
don't like it whenever you get something that you'd
44:05
like buy backups when you feel like oh my
44:07
god I like this buy backups right away these
44:09
headphones they don't make them anymore I bought a
44:11
backup this is this is the last one I
44:13
have and I'm gonna replace the ear cups on
44:16
it but I I fear the day it breaks
44:18
I'm sure there will be some on eBay but
44:20
they'll be just as old and it's like come
44:24
on man if you love a certain
44:26
piece of equipment buy a backup when
44:28
it's available don't wait until it breaks
44:30
I've had that happen before and it is devastating and
44:32
they have to switch they have to learn something new
44:34
and it's awful hate it also
44:39
known as
44:41
Tyler okay
44:45
picture this it's Friday afternoon when a
44:47
thought I can
44:49
spend another weekend doing the same old whatever
44:51
or I can hop into my all new
44:53
Hyundai Santa Fe and hit the road with
44:56
available each track all-wheel drive and three-row seating
44:58
my whole family can head deep into the
45:01
wild conquer the weekend in
45:03
all new Hyundai Santa visit
45:05
Hyundai usa.com or call 562-314-4603 for more
45:07
details there's
45:12
joy in every journey uh
45:15
badminton court time for dimensions mark okay 13.41
45:17
meters long 44 feet 5.18
45:21
meters wide 17 feet width exceeds to 6.1 meters 20 feet in double wait
45:28
exceeds to extents sorry my brain is
45:31
breaking the net is gonna be 5
45:33
foot 1 inches high and
45:36
5 feet high where it dips in the middle so the lowest
45:38
point has to be 5 feet and 5.1 on the end or
45:40
not 5.1 5 foot 1 there's a short service line
45:45
that's six and a half feet from the net or 1.98 meters
45:47
the short service line
45:49
is where the caulk has to Unserve
45:51
has to go past that line and then
45:53
there's a back service line when you play
45:56
doubles that it has to not go past
45:58
on service so it makes the surface. The
46:00
don't have to be tighter see the landed
46:02
in the third new rules Point is one
46:04
if the Bertie hits the ground and the
46:06
opponents half of the court or including the
46:08
lines, lines or and bell point will be
46:11
conceded. Have a shot goes outside the core
46:13
boundaries to the other team and then they
46:15
would then take control of the serve and
46:17
you have to wait for the Bertie to
46:19
cross the net. Ah, before playing the shot,
46:22
you can't sit it over that at her
46:24
head on the other Some now for training
46:26
admin requires that a deal with that. flexibility,
46:28
speed, hand eye coordination, stamina, Lightning fast
46:30
reflexes, Tons of different exercises that
46:33
they must do. Jilted training, flexibility,
46:35
Core circuit Aerobics in shape for
46:37
the matches Jump rope also known
46:39
as skipping rope is considered a
46:41
great exercise because it builds arm
46:44
muscles. Get your feet Movie is
46:46
great cardio and requires good eye
46:48
hand coordination. I heard that Tiger
46:50
Woods when he started in golf.
46:52
In his career, he was one
46:55
of the first golfers that took
46:57
weight training and athletic training in
46:59
general very seriously. For his golfing
47:01
ability and that started a trend in
47:03
golfers to be more athletic and start
47:05
to do weight training stuff. Because it
47:07
goes, it's pretty obvious if you are
47:10
stronger you can hit the ball farther
47:12
and if you have great greater muscular
47:14
control you can control your swing better.
47:16
And stuff like that saw the you
47:18
need to run after the ball but
47:20
like even these sports I mean and
47:23
know obviously Badman has to do Not
47:25
watch and video on Spotify. You're missing
47:27
out. I've seen as. I
47:30
got very metaphysical of it. I
47:32
haven't seen the badminton tournament Captain
47:35
B S's oh my God. the
47:37
case of for those that are
47:39
only listening, imagine it. Imagine
47:45
a dude with one of those
47:47
big band danbury like big drum
47:49
and symbols and every limb has
47:51
an instrument to accept make them
47:53
big weights and he's lifting up
47:55
another his his cigarettes itself his
47:57
shoulders would have gotten far somebody.
48:00
A board, beach balls, a kind of
48:02
a babies die rama above of the
48:04
head and any. Squats down and picks
48:07
up a dead lift bar. I believe
48:09
that the kind of like a step
48:11
inside dead live kind of thing I
48:13
think is gonna when there's another. The
48:18
Out waste. This is time for footwork
48:20
this day. nineteen. I
48:34
saw yet wage gap footwork but there's one
48:36
more yet have yet to really focus and
48:38
we get we had the jumper up the
48:40
you know is on day forty eight now.
48:45
Specific kick flip with a jump rope were
48:48
when under the skateboard. he only did it
48:50
twice. I don't know. The video ended with
48:52
it's catching on one of the wheels and
48:55
then he takes a nasty spill afterwards but
48:57
allows them those interesting sorry to interrupt or
48:59
conversation about Tiger Woods, but you know oh
49:01
no no, this is about training. you
49:03
know, athleticism. And all that. Yes, that's not
49:06
your normal badminton training according to Tick Tock
49:08
by Mikey May Beam. But now it's time
49:10
for strategies. You know your strategy depends on
49:12
if you're playing solo with a partner. in
49:14
singles you want to move quickly, make different
49:16
shots, aim for the corner on after making
49:18
shot, trying to come back the center's he
49:21
can make quick agility move to cover all
49:23
of years own decisions of what site you're
49:25
going to make, change your pace over had
49:27
strokes must have the same and long and
49:29
deep serves worked better. You want to hide
49:31
what how you're heading in where you're aiming
49:34
for. I'm so you want to make everything
49:36
look the same much like you do in
49:38
boxing punches to that they don't know which
49:40
punches coming Doubles sort serves the generally better
49:42
you target the space between opponents because that's
49:44
when they'll get confused about who's covering what
49:46
I'm when receiving play play aggressively towards and
49:48
that I switch quickly from defense off and
49:50
and you want to adopt a formation in
49:52
attacking where one players and front one person
49:54
in the back and when defending you on
49:56
be side by side and ordered I the.
49:58
With. Sounds. Good to me. We got
50:00
ourselves a bad men court Ignore my
50:02
typing. it's for something else, it's for
50:05
something I'm preparing for You next steps
50:07
It was time to play my baby
50:09
Marks doubles partner has yet to be
50:11
born so for my success face the
50:14
opponent singles match or away realizes facing
50:16
a pregnant a dull desert is what
50:18
I'm as as was over here Now
50:20
I never had their to ideally. But
50:25
before a match slips a point. Heads
50:27
or tails. Baby murder tails, you lose.
50:29
The other team gets a pig. Good
50:32
side. they're on fox. who has then.
50:34
Don't consider much. Time
50:37
to have your site a tour begin again for
50:39
you. It's Surfers way. Why do I get to
50:41
serve first? If I lost the coin toss they
50:43
chose the sides which means he decided to serve
50:45
Okay, got it? Okay got ya get. You go
50:48
to the back right side of court to where
50:50
you start the game. Yes to be back ready
50:52
for you. Hold the set apart as bird. Easy
50:54
stamina. Next thing I had point bags point onwards.
50:57
For. Except you don't toss up like that. You
50:59
do a back in swing for this or that,
51:02
that do you? Why does the rule you? The
51:04
backend grip, position back, the racket towards the burden
51:06
person, queen downwards. What's stopping? Say okay you know
51:08
I've always had this question about this antenna to
51:10
simply that they say backhand in a for and
51:12
what's stopping someone from just putting it in the
51:15
other hand and go on our that way. It's
51:17
always forward. Nothing you're allowed to do it for.
51:19
Most people are only single hand dominant, not ambidextrous.
51:21
Said they're better with a back in on one
51:23
hand than they are on a forehand with the
51:26
other. But it's it's you that doesn't. Make. Sense
51:28
to me either because you can train to use
51:30
the other hand to be perfectly filled with it,
51:32
but you also risk dropping it in the transfer.
51:34
It does take time to transfer hands, so fluffy,
51:36
always keep it in both hands and the new
51:38
cut for like this in the go this way
51:40
for this one and you have this way for
51:43
this one than you're always. It does happen in
51:45
tennis sometimes I feel like because I know like
51:47
I'm right handed of course but my left hand
51:49
worse the keyboards and for first person shooter my
51:51
entire movement is based on my left his. It's
51:53
not like I couldn't put if I tried to
51:55
do the movement with my Ryan on like. The
51:57
numbers are some things. Of course it would be bad. Because
52:00
done it all my life. I wanna take
52:02
baby Mark to the next level of Olympic
52:04
Performance from here on out. I may be
52:06
dexterous or I'm training to do things it
52:08
with both hands because to not do that
52:11
is if you're a baseball thera they could
52:13
switch. Oh yeah there's a there's a pitcher's
52:15
I can throw ninety mph with either hand
52:17
Florida and then he would do less were
52:19
on that valuable, valuable, beautiful big arm. It's
52:21
true and but only problem is when the
52:24
switch hitter encounters a switch hitter is then
52:26
it's like everybody's a switching back and forth
52:28
album. Which is great because I'm guessing. See,
52:30
I'm going to fix all your problems
52:32
you big dumb jocks out there and
52:35
you're stupid sport world to use both
52:37
