2:19

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

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

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

52:42
