And you've been busy.

17
00:00:32,999 --> 00:00:37,170
You've been hooping, working,
working on social media.

18
00:00:37,604 --> 00:00:38,972
You're a content creator.

19
00:00:38,972 --> 00:00:42,776
You work for The Hartford,
and you could jump through the roof.

20
00:00:43,276 --> 00:00:45,011
What do you want to talk about? First she.

21
00:00:46,413 --> 00:00:49,382
Okay. Wow.

22
00:00:51,051 --> 00:00:52,352
Well, actually, what do you think about.

23
00:00:52,352 --> 00:00:55,355
Okay, go back and listen to 142.

24
00:00:55,622 --> 00:00:57,524
This is the elbow bump, kid.

25
00:00:57,524 --> 00:00:59,426
Elbow bump, kid incorporated.

26
00:00:59,426 --> 00:01:01,428
They help people with type one diabetes.

27
00:01:01,428 --> 00:01:03,863
Great podcast. I'm very excited.

28
00:01:03,863 --> 00:01:04,898
So go back and check them out.

29
00:01:04,898 --> 00:01:07,467
Sam and I was a guest.

30
00:01:07,467 --> 00:01:08,968
Great job.

31
00:01:08,968 --> 00:01:10,403
And one for three is also very important.

32
00:01:10,403 --> 00:01:11,671
Do you know what 143 stands for?

33
00:01:11,671 --> 00:01:14,674
You ever hear
that could stand for something?

34
00:01:16,743 --> 00:01:18,278
Words with one letter.

35
00:01:18,278 --> 00:01:20,747
Know a word with four letters
and a word with three letters.

36
00:01:20,747 --> 00:01:22,082
Okay, okay, I love you.

37
00:01:22,082 --> 00:01:23,116
I love you so.

38
00:01:23,116 --> 00:01:23,550
Very good.

39
00:01:23,550 --> 00:01:26,553
Mr. Rogers did it okay. And,

40
00:01:28,054 --> 00:01:30,156
Friends of Feeney was started
because Nancy

41
00:01:30,156 --> 00:01:34,661
Sohn lost her husband,
Sam Sohn, 13 years ago now.

42
00:01:34,661 --> 00:01:37,664
And I had Gabby Sohn in my fifth grade
class, and.

43
00:01:37,664 --> 00:01:41,868
And Nancy would send that text
all the time to Sam,

44
00:01:41,868 --> 00:01:43,236
and Sam would send it back.

45
00:01:43,236 --> 00:01:45,805
That was their code saying, I love you.

46
00:01:45,805 --> 00:01:48,808
So I'm thinking of Nancy and Sam.

47
00:01:49,142 --> 00:01:49,909
Friends of Feeney.

48
00:01:50,910 --> 00:01:52,812
Wouldn't be here without them.

49
00:01:52,812 --> 00:01:55,815
And, thinking about Sam
all the time they have.

50
00:01:55,982 --> 00:01:58,952
Nancy has four wonderful kids.
I had Gabby,

51
00:01:59,052 --> 00:02:00,687
who just graduated college.

52
00:02:00,687 --> 00:02:03,690
It's Braden
who just graduated high school.

53
00:02:03,690 --> 00:02:07,460
And Emerson and CC are now in high school,
so they have twins.

54
00:02:07,460 --> 00:02:09,662
I had twins. Wow.

55
00:02:09,662 --> 00:02:12,632
So 143143.

56
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:14,134
You know, thinking time.

57
00:02:14,134 --> 00:02:16,236
What do you want to talk about?
Definitely.

58
00:02:16,236 --> 00:02:20,507
So I, I guess I'd love to start with,
I guess my, my full time job maybe.

59
00:02:20,874 --> 00:02:23,877
Okay. I got there, I think,

60
00:02:23,877 --> 00:02:25,812
I was at least I felt going

61
00:02:25,812 --> 00:02:28,848
into going to college, I had absolutely
no clue, what I wanted to do.

62
00:02:28,848 --> 00:02:31,351
And I feel like a lot of people
can relate to that.

63
00:02:31,351 --> 00:02:33,853
I think this day, like these, these days.

64
00:02:35,488 --> 00:02:37,657
And, I

65
00:02:37,657 --> 00:02:40,660
graduated
from college with a degree in economics,

66
00:02:41,027 --> 00:02:44,464
for no reason other than I was like,
cool economics or dealing with money.

67
00:02:44,464 --> 00:02:45,832
I like money.

68
00:02:45,832 --> 00:02:47,066
Let me try this.

69
00:02:47,066 --> 00:02:50,603
And I got out and I wasn't really sure,
you know, what I wanted to do.

70
00:02:50,603 --> 00:02:52,038
And I was working
at a restaurant, Briscoe,

71
00:02:52,038 --> 00:02:55,041
for a couple of years at that point,
kind of just in the interim.

72
00:02:56,543 --> 00:02:59,546
But at the same time,
I was also teaching myself how to code.

73
00:03:00,079 --> 00:03:03,483
Because as long as I've known, I've liked
building things and solving problems.

74
00:03:04,617 --> 00:03:07,754
So I ended up getting a lucky break,
kind of,

75
00:03:08,555 --> 00:03:11,591
with an interview
and, landed myself at the Harvard,

76
00:03:11,591 --> 00:03:14,594
where I've been for the last three years
in some change.

77
00:03:14,627 --> 00:03:16,362
Software engineer at the Hartford.

78
00:03:17,363 --> 00:03:18,998
Man. That's good stuff.

79
00:03:18,998 --> 00:03:20,667
And what about Rico?

80
00:03:20,667 --> 00:03:22,936
Rico? I mean, I love Rico,
I love the food, I love

81
00:03:22,936 --> 00:03:24,370
I love working there, the environment.

82
00:03:24,370 --> 00:03:26,472
It was an awesome kind of team.

83
00:03:26,472 --> 00:03:28,074
That, you know, go. To.

84
00:03:28,074 --> 00:03:29,375
Of course. Of course. Yeah.

85
00:03:29,375 --> 00:03:30,944
You know. The guy

86
00:03:30,944 --> 00:03:32,378
I worked with, his daughter.

87
00:03:32,378 --> 00:03:33,880
Oh, there we go. He was.

88
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,616
Awesome. Yeah. No, he's great, he's great.
Everybody's there. Yep.

89
00:03:36,616 --> 00:03:38,918
Everybody's
great there. Billy supposed to be a guest.

90
00:03:38,918 --> 00:03:40,053
Oh, really? Got it in a month.

91
00:03:40,053 --> 00:03:41,254
So we're getting a mom?

92
00:03:41,254 --> 00:03:43,056
Yeah, but also The Hartford's amazing.

93
00:03:43,056 --> 00:03:45,925
You know, your VP,
your vice president, Steve Dean.

94
00:03:45,925 --> 00:03:47,327
He's a friend of Feeney.

95
00:03:47,327 --> 00:03:48,761
Hartford. Wonderful.

96
00:03:48,761 --> 00:03:50,530
Maybe I'll text him. You want
you want a promotion?

97
00:03:50,530 --> 00:03:53,132
You want to raise your event?

98
00:03:53,132 --> 00:03:53,533
Yeah.

99
00:03:53,533 --> 00:03:53,967
Yeah.

100
00:03:53,967 --> 00:03:57,303
To happen right now,
I wish, I wish I will complain.

101
00:03:57,337 --> 00:03:59,339
All right, I teach third grade.

102
00:03:59,339 --> 00:04:02,609
Explain to a third grader
what does a software engineer do?

103
00:04:03,176 --> 00:04:03,676
Okay,

104
00:04:04,844 --> 00:04:05,945
I software engineer can

105
00:04:05,945 --> 00:04:08,948
do a lot of things,
but I guess most simply,

106
00:04:09,949 --> 00:04:11,618
I would say

107
00:04:11,618 --> 00:04:15,555
build kind of software
to make your life easier.

108
00:04:16,756 --> 00:04:19,092
So any

109
00:04:19,092 --> 00:04:22,195
anything on your phone,
anything that you'll visit on

110
00:04:22,195 --> 00:04:26,966
the internet, is usually kind of handled
by a software engineer.

111
00:04:27,233 --> 00:04:29,702
So I don't know if that's good enough
for a third grader, but.

112
00:04:29,702 --> 00:04:31,638
Can you just get app?

113
00:04:31,638 --> 00:04:33,206
I could. By myself.

114
00:04:33,206 --> 00:04:36,509
I mean, maybe with a lot of time
and a lot of googling,

115
00:04:36,809 --> 00:04:39,045
potentially
to make a pretty rudimentary app.

116
00:04:39,045 --> 00:04:41,748
You bought. A website? Yeah, yeah.

117
00:04:41,748 --> 00:04:43,483
Can you can do.

118
00:04:43,483 --> 00:04:45,084
So today's Monday?

119
00:04:45,084 --> 00:04:45,385
Yeah.

120
00:04:45,385 --> 00:04:48,421
What did you do today at work
as a software engineer at the Hartford?

121
00:04:48,688 --> 00:04:49,922
Okay.

122
00:04:49,922 --> 00:04:52,191
So I work on,

123
00:04:52,191 --> 00:04:55,061
insurance coding platform
specifically for small businesses.

124
00:04:56,162 --> 00:04:59,599
And I'm working on something
called a defect, which is kind of

125
00:04:59,599 --> 00:05:02,602
just something in an application
that's not working as intended.

126
00:05:04,003 --> 00:05:05,605
And most of the day was trying

127
00:05:05,605 --> 00:05:08,775
to do a lot of kind of triaging
or like, debugging.

128
00:05:08,775 --> 00:05:11,844
What was going wrong to figure it out,
before trying to solve it.

129
00:05:13,246 --> 00:05:16,382
See, I might actually have to go back
at the end of the day

130
00:05:16,382 --> 00:05:19,686
and kind of after this and try and
because I didn't quite get the fix yet.

131
00:05:20,353 --> 00:05:21,954
But I'm currently working on that, so.

132
00:05:21,954 --> 00:05:24,957
Wow. Cool. So out of,

133
00:05:25,058 --> 00:05:28,061
Anything else before we move on?

134
00:05:28,861 --> 00:05:30,596
So I'm really excited to talk with you.

135
00:05:30,596 --> 00:05:33,599
Yeah,
I've had anything else about the Hartford

136
00:05:33,599 --> 00:05:36,602
or software engineering?

137
00:05:37,937 --> 00:05:39,605
Thumbs up or thumbs down.

138
00:05:39,605 --> 00:05:41,341
I would say I would say thumbs up.

139
00:05:41,341 --> 00:05:45,211
It's, it's it's challenging
and it's it's it's rewarding

140
00:05:45,211 --> 00:05:47,313
and it can be frustrating,
but thumbs up. Overall.

141
00:05:47,313 --> 00:05:48,314
My nice,

142
00:05:50,650 --> 00:05:53,353
listen, this is episode 143.

143
00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:56,522
I've had millionaires, celebrities,

144
00:05:57,357 --> 00:05:59,692
professional athletes.

145
00:05:59,692 --> 00:06:01,561
I envy you the most.

146
00:06:01,561 --> 00:06:04,530
No man. Ever.

147
00:06:04,530 --> 00:06:05,765
We're going to get into why.

148
00:06:05,765 --> 00:06:06,899
Do you know why?

149
00:06:06,899 --> 00:06:09,902
I guess I like I can guess like.

150
00:06:10,503 --> 00:06:14,374
I mean, the police chief,
the mayor, politicians, you name it.

151
00:06:15,274 --> 00:06:18,277
Guys with millions on this podcast

152
00:06:18,411 --> 00:06:19,979
doesn't do it for me.

153
00:06:19,979 --> 00:06:23,282
What you do is absolutely amazing.

154
00:06:24,117 --> 00:06:27,720
And I would give my left pinky
well to do what you can do.

155
00:06:28,921 --> 00:06:30,723
What is that guy.

156
00:06:30,723 --> 00:06:32,458
I think jumping.

157
00:06:32,458 --> 00:06:34,460
Head. Yes.

158
00:06:34,460 --> 00:06:36,396
How I and you.

159
00:06:36,396 --> 00:06:40,900
I got an answer by watching your videos
practice and jumping the more you.

160
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,003
So we're here with jumps by chick,

161
00:06:44,203 --> 00:06:47,974
jumps by she,
you know, as cheetah Bay and and I'm

162
00:06:47,974 --> 00:06:52,278
a software engineer at the Hartford,
but this guy is jumps by chick.

163
00:06:52,678 --> 00:06:55,681
He's on Instagram, 150,000 followers.

164
00:06:55,882 --> 00:06:59,352
He's on TikTok, 290,000 followers.

165
00:06:59,886 --> 00:07:01,721
He was just at hoop India.

166
00:07:01,721 --> 00:07:03,189
He dunks with Jordan

167
00:07:04,257 --> 00:07:06,993
Kel and and,

168
00:07:06,993 --> 00:07:07,860
And a bunch of other. People.

169
00:07:07,860 --> 00:07:10,096
Yeah, yeah.

170
00:07:10,096 --> 00:07:11,230
This is amazing.

171
00:07:11,230 --> 00:07:12,665
Yeah.

172
00:07:12,665 --> 00:07:15,001
How did the journey start?

173
00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:16,936
Can can I jump like you someday?

174
00:07:16,936 --> 00:07:17,970
I'm 46 years old.

175
00:07:17,970 --> 00:07:20,973
Do I have a chance to ever dunk?

176
00:07:21,207 --> 00:07:23,109
Oh, was it too late?

177
00:07:23,109 --> 00:07:24,210
Where you want me to start with?

178
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:26,546
With where I started
or you want me to start with.

179
00:07:26,546 --> 00:07:29,348
Let's start with you. Okay.

180
00:07:29,348 --> 00:07:32,351
Yeah, I,

181
00:07:32,385 --> 00:07:34,220
I guess my,
my first exposure to jumping was,

182
00:07:34,220 --> 00:07:37,824
like, was a fifth grade,
field day at Wolcott.

183
00:07:38,925 --> 00:07:41,360
I think I did the high jump in the long
jump,

184
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,564
and I think I kind of liked it
and may have one high jump.

185
00:07:45,231 --> 00:07:47,900
I remember I was beaten out in long jump,

186
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:50,102
and then kind of from there,
I have an older brother as well

187
00:07:50,102 --> 00:07:51,571
who was really into basketball.

188
00:07:51,571 --> 00:07:55,141
So he was always outside in our driveway
playing, and eventually I kind of

189
00:07:55,475 --> 00:07:58,478
sort of got into that and I was trying
some dunks on like a low rim.

190
00:07:59,111 --> 00:08:01,481
But I don't know, I always
I was really like the idea of dunking.

191
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:04,750
And I think I saw Nate Robinson
in the dunk contest

192
00:08:04,750 --> 00:08:06,085
and I was like,
Holy cow, that's pretty cool.

193
00:08:06,085 --> 00:08:09,489
He's five nine himself
and doing what he does.

194
00:08:11,190 --> 00:08:13,826
And then,
yeah, I guess during all this time

195
00:08:13,826 --> 00:08:17,296
I was also doing track and field,
long jump, triple jump, high jump.

196
00:08:17,296 --> 00:08:18,764
And I really, really enjoyed that.

197
00:08:18,764 --> 00:08:21,234
Just jumping was always my thing.

198
00:08:21,234 --> 00:08:23,202
I have to stop. It was Mr. Glazier.

199
00:08:23,202 --> 00:08:24,270
Did she run P?

200
00:08:24,270 --> 00:08:26,272
Did she do the field day at Wolcott?

201
00:08:26,272 --> 00:08:28,708
I think so that that's a that's a name.

202
00:08:28,708 --> 00:08:31,711
It's, you know Mrs. Glazer. Absolutely.

203
00:08:32,311 --> 00:08:34,146
So jumping out. Yeah.

204
00:08:34,146 --> 00:08:34,380
All right.

205
00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:37,517
So your older brother, you love jumping?

206
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:40,520
Yep. Continue. I'm sorry. No.

207
00:08:40,586 --> 00:08:40,753
Yeah.

208
00:08:40,753 --> 00:08:43,222
So I, I did track and field
at Eastern Connecticut as well.

209
00:08:43,222 --> 00:08:45,858
And it was around that time that,

210
00:08:45,858 --> 00:08:48,861
I was seeing other people
on social media, on Instagram, on YouTube.

211
00:08:49,228 --> 00:08:53,766
We're having these, like, dunk sessions,
mainly in, like, Orlando, Florida.

212
00:08:54,133 --> 00:08:54,767
It was just guys

213
00:08:54,767 --> 00:08:58,437
who were professional dunkers
or semi-pro dunkers or amateur dunkers.

214
00:08:58,504 --> 00:09:00,606
They're all come together and dunk.
And I was like, that's so cool.

215
00:09:00,606 --> 00:09:02,642
It was so much
energy, was a great community.

216
00:09:02,642 --> 00:09:06,913
So I ended up making my Instagram account
jumps by G just because I was like,

217
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,349
I like jumping and I want to try and,
you know, show off some of the skills.

218
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,453
I've, I've, kind of, achieved. And,

219
00:09:15,421 --> 00:09:15,988
I'm just built from

220
00:09:15,988 --> 00:09:18,991
there, from, from 2017 is
I think when I started.

221
00:09:19,358 --> 00:09:21,294
Man jumps by G.

222
00:09:21,294 --> 00:09:22,361
Now it's great.

223
00:09:22,361 --> 00:09:25,765
I love the content that you're
putting out, most recently.

224
00:09:25,765 --> 00:09:27,767
Well, let's let's start with a game then.

225
00:09:27,767 --> 00:09:29,702
So jumps by G.

226
00:09:29,702 --> 00:09:34,941
What was the events
we do a first last best worst.

227
00:09:35,274 --> 00:09:36,842
Your first jumping event.

228
00:09:36,842 --> 00:09:38,778
Your last jumping event.

229
00:09:38,778 --> 00:09:41,781
Your best jumping event
and your worst jumping event.

230
00:09:41,781 --> 00:09:44,216
You're jumping about
oh I know you just out.

231
00:09:44,216 --> 00:09:46,385
Whoop. India. Yeah. With scale.

232
00:09:46,385 --> 00:09:48,120
Yeah. White mamba. Yeah.

233
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,288
Let's take a minute.

234
00:09:49,288 --> 00:09:49,822
Okay.

235
00:09:49,822 --> 00:09:51,557
And respect the white mamba.

236
00:09:51,557 --> 00:09:54,360
How is Brian. Scale brain interacting.

237
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,761
Super cool. Nice guy.

238
00:09:55,761 --> 00:09:56,195
Very cool.

239
00:09:56,195 --> 00:09:57,964
Unfortunately,
I didn't get to talk to him much outside

240
00:09:57,964 --> 00:09:59,999
of, like, the photo, but he was very,
very well

241
00:09:59,999 --> 00:10:01,801
welcoming and happy
to take a photo with me.

242
00:10:02,768 --> 00:10:03,736
But, yeah, I saw him.

243
00:10:03,736 --> 00:10:08,541
He was holding a clinic, for some kids,
and, he just definitely seemed very,

244
00:10:09,175 --> 00:10:12,211
I don't know, obviously very knowledgeable
and had a great presence about him, so.

245
00:10:12,712 --> 00:10:14,647
Yeah. Love. Yeah.

246
00:10:14,647 --> 00:10:15,715
All right. First, next.

247
00:10:15,715 --> 00:10:17,683
The then last first. No, no. Excuse me.

248
00:10:17,683 --> 00:10:20,553
First last best worst.

249
00:10:20,553 --> 00:10:23,155
Worst last best or worst.

250
00:10:23,155 --> 00:10:26,158
So I think my first jumping exposure
to jumping was pretty much,

251
00:10:27,393 --> 00:10:29,328
like ten years old,

252
00:10:29,328 --> 00:10:30,930
at the field day.

253
00:10:30,930 --> 00:10:33,132
Yeah. Well, I'll get,

254
00:10:33,132 --> 00:10:34,567
my last is in, like, my most recent.

255
00:10:34,567 --> 00:10:36,936
Yeah.

256
00:10:36,936 --> 00:10:40,706
Yeah, that was actually,
I didn't do too much jumping a hoop land.

257
00:10:40,706 --> 00:10:41,207
Yeah.

258
00:10:41,207 --> 00:10:44,210
But then I guess just right before that
was, the dunk camp.

259
00:10:44,343 --> 00:10:45,711
So I guess those were like my last.

260
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,513
It was. Oh,
in the one week and one weekend.

261
00:10:49,281 --> 00:10:50,116
And then.

262
00:10:50,116 --> 00:10:53,019
On dunk. Can't. Sure. Sure.

263
00:10:53,019 --> 00:10:56,088
So dunk camp is a camp
that's been primarily

264
00:10:56,088 --> 00:10:59,125
held in Utah,
just in, Salt Lake City area.

265
00:10:59,925 --> 00:11:02,361
And it's run by Andy Nicholson,

266
00:11:02,361 --> 00:11:07,133
who's actually 510, maybe 511,
I think 510.

267
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:10,703
And, he's 50.

268
00:11:10,703 --> 00:11:11,837
Three.

269
00:11:11,837 --> 00:11:14,840
And he's having a 5253.

270
00:11:15,574 --> 00:11:16,909
And he's and he's still dunking.

271
00:11:16,909 --> 00:11:18,911
Yeah. Oh my God. So.

272
00:11:18,911 --> 00:11:20,312
So so you're saying there's a chance.

273
00:11:20,312 --> 00:11:23,282
I'm saying there's a chance. Absolutely.

274
00:11:23,282 --> 00:11:24,450
Oh, yeah.

275
00:11:24,450 --> 00:11:27,453
Chills telling you what you want to hear.

276
00:11:27,887 --> 00:11:29,455
But yeah, it's it's
it's it's a great time.

277
00:11:29,455 --> 00:11:32,825
It's about,
it's about a week and it's kind of just,

278
00:11:34,326 --> 00:11:37,063
a whole bunch of pro dunkers, pro
athletes,

279
00:11:37,063 --> 00:11:40,232
as well as, you know, camp attendees
who come to learn from them.

280
00:11:40,533 --> 00:11:42,268
And it's just a really fun weekend.

281
00:11:42,268 --> 00:11:46,572
It ends with a dunk show
where all the pros kind of put on a show.

282
00:11:47,306 --> 00:11:49,675
And then there's also, dunk contests

283
00:11:49,675 --> 00:11:52,778
at varying, rim heights
at the end of the camp as well.

284
00:11:52,778 --> 00:11:53,813
Cool dunk camp.

285
00:11:53,813 --> 00:11:55,247
And that's been going on for how long.

286
00:11:55,247 --> 00:11:57,049
Started in 2018 okay.

287
00:11:57,049 --> 00:11:59,518
Yeah because I saw a video of 2019.

288
00:11:59,518 --> 00:12:00,352
Yeah. Yep. Yeah.

289
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,822
That was the first year I won in Jordan.

290
00:12:02,822 --> 00:12:06,358
See tying your shoes in Jordan?

291
00:12:06,592 --> 00:12:08,794
Oh, no. You're weird. I'm nervous.

292
00:12:08,794 --> 00:12:11,230
I was like, you're I'm.
I see that you up anyway.

293
00:12:11,230 --> 00:12:13,199
Yeah, that was
that was not dunk camp. Yeah.

294
00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:14,133
There was dunk camp.

Awesome. Yeah.

00:12:19,205 --> 00:12:20,406

331
00:13:33,312 --> 00:13:34,914

really cool moment.

00:13:34,914 --> 00:13:37,950
They've all been very, very, cool
that I'm excited right here.

333
00:13:38,184 --> 00:13:41,453
Okay. Which one is that? You think,

Your winning dunk.
We're going to pull it up right here.

338
00:13:51,030 --> 00:13:53,098
Oh it went from a standstill.

339
00:13:53,098 --> 00:13:56,101
Yeah. In reverse.

340
00:13:56,168 --> 00:13:56,335
Yeah.

341
00:13:56,335 --> 00:14:00,072
It was kind of like

342
00:14:00,072 --> 00:14:03,075
windmill off of her in a ball.

343
00:14:04,577 --> 00:14:08,080
180 windmill off
invert at five nine to win the dunk.

344
00:14:08,547 --> 00:14:11,383
You know, at camp, that was 2019 or 20.

345
00:14:11,383 --> 00:14:13,052
Yeah. This is in 2019.

346
00:14:13,052 --> 00:14:13,886
All right.

347
00:14:13,886 --> 00:14:14,553
Best moment.

348
00:14:14,553 --> 00:14:17,556
That was good.

349
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:21,694
Let me see.

350
00:14:21,694 --> 00:14:24,697
So that bomb got

351
00:14:25,231 --> 00:14:26,932
so off vert like.

352
00:14:26,932 --> 00:14:29,068
Yeah. All right.
That was your best. Worst.

353
00:14:29,068 --> 00:14:30,202
You have a worst case.

354
00:14:30,202 --> 00:14:33,205
And I have so many questions.

355
00:14:33,339 --> 00:14:34,673
Worst would probably be

356
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:42,147
I don't know,
I feel like, I feel like I have a lot

357
00:14:42,147 --> 00:14:44,583
mainly mainly because of injuries.
I'd probably. Say.

358
00:14:44,583 --> 00:14:46,518
Yeah. Yeah,
I went wrong or missing or. You got.

359
00:14:46,518 --> 00:14:49,321
Yeah. Me up.

360
00:14:49,321 --> 00:14:51,657
But yeah, I guess I guess, long jumping

361
00:14:51,657 --> 00:14:55,961
my senior year of college,
I got, I got hurt, I think the last is.

362
00:14:55,961 --> 00:14:59,598
And it ended my ended my collegiate career
pretty much because,

363
00:14:59,765 --> 00:15:01,233
I didn't quite come back from it.

364
00:15:01,233 --> 00:15:03,636
It was just like a hamstring pull.

365
00:15:03,636 --> 00:15:06,305
But I also PR that day,
so it was also a good

366
00:15:06,305 --> 00:15:09,742
it was,
it was a good ending, but it still was

367
00:15:09,742 --> 00:15:12,745
unfortunate. So.

368
00:15:13,178 --> 00:15:15,247
All right. That was your first,

369
00:15:15,247 --> 00:15:18,851
first, last, best, worst jumping on, man.

370
00:15:18,851 --> 00:15:26,225
So, 46.

371
00:15:26,558 --> 00:15:27,726
Where would I start?

372
00:15:27,726 --> 00:15:29,528
Like today, you motivate me.

373
00:15:29,528 --> 00:15:30,963
I did a little bench. Oh, yeah.

374
00:15:30,963 --> 00:15:33,065
And then I did the deep, the squat machine
that.

375
00:15:33,065 --> 00:15:35,367
No, no, not the squatch leg.

376
00:15:35,367 --> 00:15:37,803
Leg extension. Okay. Leg press. Yep.

377
00:15:37,803 --> 00:15:41,173
So you sit and you just push up? Yep.

378
00:15:41,907 --> 00:15:45,044
I mean, no weight on it
at all is 110 pounds.

379
00:15:45,144 --> 00:15:45,511
Oh, then

380
00:15:46,478 --> 00:15:48,180
I got it to 340.

381
00:15:48,180 --> 00:15:51,050
So he's laughing at me. No, that.

382
00:15:51,050 --> 00:15:52,718
I see I see a sarcastic smirk.

383
00:15:52,718 --> 00:15:54,420
No, no, that's
that's like that's lightweight.

384
00:15:54,420 --> 00:15:56,889
I think that that's one foot

385
00:15:56,889 --> 00:15:58,023
as well. Excellent.

386
00:15:58,023 --> 00:16:03,362
But I've noticed like any hold you, you
know, you you extend you get the bar down.

387
00:16:03,362 --> 00:16:03,629
Yeah.

388
00:16:03,629 --> 00:16:06,632
You light it in, you push it out. Sure.

389
00:16:07,032 --> 00:16:08,567
Ceiling like in the lower back.

390
00:16:08,567 --> 00:16:10,202
Should I be oh. Or back?

391
00:16:10,202 --> 00:16:13,205
No. My butt be coming off the seat
a little bit.

392
00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:15,240
Right. Maybe not.

393
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,677
I mean, I think I think if your lower back
is giving you issues, it may be

394
00:16:18,677 --> 00:16:20,579
you may be overly rounding
a little bit in here.

395
00:16:20,579 --> 00:16:23,582
I'm rounding. Yeah. Potentially.

396
00:16:23,615 --> 00:16:26,618
How do I avoid the rounding?

397
00:16:27,953 --> 00:16:30,956
And I'm not I'm not,
I haven't studied any,

398
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:33,993
really weight training too much, but,

399
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:38,397
potentially your feet could be too high
on the too on the on the, platform.

400
00:16:38,397 --> 00:16:38,731
Okay.

401
00:16:39,898 --> 00:16:43,035
Or maybe your core isn't quite activated

402
00:16:43,035 --> 00:16:46,505
or as strong as it should be or needs
to be for the weight you're doing.

403
00:16:46,538 --> 00:16:48,941
Tracking.

404
00:16:48,941 --> 00:16:51,210
Those are just kind of
what comes to mind a lot.

405
00:16:51,210 --> 00:16:55,381
I'm going to find out tomorrow, because
if I can't walk, my back is jacked up.

406
00:16:55,414 --> 00:16:56,615
Yeah.

407
00:16:56,615 --> 00:16:59,852
So some what are some good exercises

408
00:17:01,053 --> 00:17:04,490
to, jumps by key now,

409
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:08,027
do you do the half mile to single leg hop?

410
00:17:09,762 --> 00:17:11,964
Oh, I don't know if I've done it.

411
00:17:11,964 --> 00:17:13,032
Single leg. Really?

412
00:17:13,032 --> 00:17:16,201
You're talking about, like, a kneeling
jump, and then you land on your feet?

413
00:17:17,403 --> 00:17:18,570
I'm not exactly sure.

414
00:17:18,570 --> 00:17:21,573
All right, what about,

415
00:17:22,074 --> 00:17:24,743
I saw it, and I asked half mile.

416
00:17:24,743 --> 00:17:27,746
All right. What about the one?

417
00:17:28,347 --> 00:17:30,182
Where you're sitting, okay.

418
00:17:30,182 --> 00:17:31,316
And you just pop up?

419
00:17:32,618 --> 00:17:33,852
Okay, that sounds like.

420
00:17:33,852 --> 00:17:34,920
That sounds like a kneeling jump, right?

421
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:35,521
You kind of sit.

422
00:17:35,521 --> 00:17:38,424
You're kneeling on the floor.

423
00:17:38,424 --> 00:17:40,359
Yeah.
Is that you're popping up to your feet?

424
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:41,393
Yeah, yeah.

425
00:17:41,393 --> 00:17:42,261
What's that all about there?

426
00:17:42,261 --> 00:17:45,264
You're supposed to be able to do that
over 30.

427
00:17:45,297 --> 00:17:47,366
Oh okay. Yeah
I think I've seen a trend on to.

428
00:17:47,366 --> 00:17:49,034
Yeah about that.

429
00:17:49,034 --> 00:17:49,735
Yeah I've done it.

430
00:17:49,735 --> 00:17:51,303
I've done,
I've done it before. I've had it.

431
00:17:51,303 --> 00:17:53,539
Yeah I can do that
one. Yeah. I'm getting there.

432
00:17:53,539 --> 00:17:53,772
Yeah.

433
00:17:53,772 --> 00:17:56,642
No I haven't tried it in a while,
but I believe. It, I believe it.

434
00:17:56,642 --> 00:17:58,944
All right. What about,

435
00:17:58,944 --> 00:18:01,914
What about the one where you.

436
00:18:01,914 --> 00:18:04,917
Oh, you're elevated off something.

437
00:18:04,983 --> 00:18:07,986
You drop down, bend, jump, you know.

438
00:18:08,020 --> 00:18:10,355
What's that move?
Why is that a thing? Why is that?

439
00:18:10,355 --> 00:18:12,891
But why would you drop gravity
having you down?

440
00:18:12,891 --> 00:18:15,127
Yeah, but. Or is that.
Or is there a reason for that?

441
00:18:16,895 --> 00:18:19,832
Well, I think I believe the reason
for the exercises

442
00:18:19,832 --> 00:18:24,002
you want to kind of improve your ability
to brew, to produce force.

443
00:18:24,603 --> 00:18:27,039
And so, yeah,
you can do that with just a regular jump.

444
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:30,042
But when you drop down from something,
it's called a,

445
00:18:30,175 --> 00:18:33,178
drop jump or a depth jump. Yep.

446
00:18:33,846 --> 00:18:36,115
You're having to overcome more.

447
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:37,516
You have to produce more force.

448
00:18:37,516 --> 00:18:37,816
Yeah, yeah.

449
00:18:37,816 --> 00:18:40,285
To get back off the ground. And that's
what kind of dropping off the box.

450
00:18:40,285 --> 00:18:42,154
So it's more potent.

451
00:18:42,154 --> 00:18:45,624
What about like, trial metrics
when you're like, when you're hopping

452
00:18:46,258 --> 00:18:48,627
like left, you know, northwest.

453
00:18:48,627 --> 00:18:50,762
Southeast like,

454
00:18:50,762 --> 00:18:52,798
around a foot.

455
00:18:52,798 --> 00:18:54,666
Okay.

456
00:18:54,666 --> 00:18:57,636
And then like, even, like,

457
00:18:57,636 --> 00:19:00,139
like off a curb or.

458
00:19:00,139 --> 00:19:03,275
Okay, I'm kind of like, down
and then back up onto something.

459
00:19:03,275 --> 00:19:04,176
Yeah.

460
00:19:04,176 --> 00:19:04,510
Yeah.

461
00:19:04,510 --> 00:19:05,777
I think as far as I know,

462
00:19:05,777 --> 00:19:09,214
that's mainly just like,
kind of rate of rate of force development,

463
00:19:10,082 --> 00:19:13,919
trying to produce as much force
as you can as quickly as possible.

464
00:19:14,353 --> 00:19:15,787
Is. Most likely going.

465
00:19:15,787 --> 00:19:20,425
To be the exercises benefit what is jumps
by key suggest to our listeners or Feeney

466
00:19:20,993 --> 00:19:23,562
who's going to write these down because
we're going to go home and try these.

467
00:19:26,865 --> 00:19:27,666
What are we doing here?

468
00:19:27,666 --> 00:19:28,867
What what are the exercises?

469
00:19:28,867 --> 00:19:29,635
Where should I start?

470
00:19:29,635 --> 00:19:32,638
As a 46 year old?

471
00:19:33,205 --> 00:19:34,373
Jumoke

472
00:19:34,373 --> 00:19:37,276
washed up athlete
that just wants to touch the rim?

473
00:19:37,276 --> 00:19:38,377
Yeah.

474
00:19:38,377 --> 00:19:41,013
You should, you should start
by going to your primary care

475
00:19:41,013 --> 00:19:44,016
physician and. No.

476
00:19:44,283 --> 00:19:47,019
Now, I've got Joe.

477
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:50,022
He can jump, and he's dropping
comedic gems.

478
00:19:50,589 --> 00:19:53,325
No, but I would say, I'd say number one.

479
00:19:53,325 --> 00:19:57,095
I would say, make sure that you're healthy
and you can kind of.

480
00:19:57,095 --> 00:19:57,296
Right.

481
00:19:57,296 --> 00:20:00,966
You're not dealing with anything
that's going to hinder you or,

482
00:20:01,133 --> 00:20:04,136
you know, have jumping hurt you more.

483
00:20:04,369 --> 00:20:07,372
But the number one thing I would always
suggest is try and jump more.

484
00:20:08,073 --> 00:20:12,411
Oh. So you can do that
whether it's, you know,

485
00:20:12,644 --> 00:20:17,616
once a week, once every two weeks,
get into the, habit of jumping regularly.

486
00:20:17,983 --> 00:20:20,652
The history of jumping step one.

487
00:20:20,652 --> 00:20:21,687
Yeah. Like I saw that video,

488
00:20:22,821 --> 00:20:25,857
like you were juggling, and someone was
like, hey, how'd you get better?

489
00:20:26,558 --> 00:20:28,260
And you just do it more. You practice?

490
00:20:28,260 --> 00:20:30,195
Yeah. Go practice jumping.

491
00:20:30,195 --> 00:20:32,531
All right. Yep. Same is
same as just about everything.

492
00:20:32,531 --> 00:20:34,099
You know,
you want to do the thing. Whether that's.

493
00:20:34,099 --> 00:20:36,702
Yeah, two foot jumps, one foot jumps.

494
00:20:36,702 --> 00:20:39,705
If you're trying to long jump or triple
jump, whatever it is.

495
00:20:40,806 --> 00:20:43,408
And then yeah,
I think it as well in that video, I don't,

496
00:20:43,408 --> 00:20:44,910
I don't know
if you're going to get specific

497
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:48,680
or kind of be more general,
but you do want to be, strong.

498
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,683
You want to increase your strength
relative to your bodyweight.

499
00:20:52,050 --> 00:20:56,989
So you want to get stronger
and try and maintain the same weight,

500
00:20:57,422 --> 00:21:00,259
or not at least balloon up,

501
00:21:00,259 --> 00:21:03,061
your weight just for the sake of strength.

502
00:21:06,064 --> 00:21:07,132
And then

503
00:21:07,132 --> 00:21:09,901
you want to be able to express
that strength that you have

504
00:21:09,901 --> 00:21:12,604
by being able to produce that force
and that strength fast.

505
00:21:12,604 --> 00:21:15,607
So that's things like sprinting
and plyometrics.

506
00:21:16,174 --> 00:21:18,644
They're going to help you with that.

507
00:21:18,644 --> 00:21:21,380
I know my neighbor
shout out to my neighbor Brian.

508
00:21:21,380 --> 00:21:22,581
Stephen knows them.

509
00:21:22,581 --> 00:21:23,715
He sprints.

510
00:21:23,715 --> 00:21:26,618
He's a couple years older than me,
and he goes to the park.

511
00:21:26,618 --> 00:21:28,920
He's like,
not many people over 50 can sprint.

512
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,291
Oh, I don't I think it's like 7%
I 50 year olds can sprint.

513
00:21:32,291 --> 00:21:34,559
That sounds too high to me,
honestly, right. Yeah.

514
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:35,661
Too high. Yeah.

515
00:21:35,661 --> 00:21:37,562
So sprinting
you like that I would love. Yeah.

516
00:21:37,562 --> 00:21:39,631
Sprinting definitely.

517
00:21:39,631 --> 00:21:40,799
All right I'm going to start sprinting.

518
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:43,802
Yeah I think I saw something
that it's like

519
00:21:43,902 --> 00:21:47,272
most people over
like 30 never sprint again. So I

520
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,642
think it's,

521
00:21:50,642 --> 00:21:51,910
I think I can still sprint.

522
00:21:51,910 --> 00:21:54,846
I believe that I believe
that you might want to.

523
00:21:54,846 --> 00:21:57,783
Yeah. Just warm up.
I warm as always. Get warm.

524
00:21:57,783 --> 00:21:58,383
Yeah. Okay.

525
00:21:58,383 --> 00:21:59,017
Don't just go.

526
00:21:59,017 --> 00:22:02,020
Check with my physician, then warm up,

527
00:22:02,387 --> 00:22:05,357
practice jumping and then sprint. Yep.

528
00:22:05,357 --> 00:22:08,060
All right. What else you got?

529
00:22:08,060 --> 00:22:08,994
Come on, this is all you did.

530
00:22:08,994 --> 00:22:11,830
And you can jump 11ft.

531
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:12,331
Yeah.

532
00:22:12,331 --> 00:22:14,299
No, I mean, I've done
I've done a lot of things.

533
00:22:14,299 --> 00:22:15,567
I've done.

534
00:22:15,567 --> 00:22:18,570
I feel like
I've done literally everything.

535
00:22:19,237 --> 00:22:20,205
But I feel like it boils down to that.

536
00:22:20,205 --> 00:22:22,841
Do you want, like, specific exercises
I've done? Because I can just name.

537
00:22:22,841 --> 00:22:25,010
You can see
you can look at anything in the gym and.

538
00:22:25,010 --> 00:22:25,911
All right, let's. How about this.

539
00:22:25,911 --> 00:22:30,449
Let's, let's explain to our listeners
with at elastic volume is okay.

540
00:22:30,482 --> 00:22:31,516
Then you'll give me a list.

541
00:22:31,516 --> 00:22:34,519
And then we had a question
a long ten minutes ago.

542
00:22:35,387 --> 00:22:38,056
This is answering asked you
what can I do I know excuse me.

543
00:22:38,056 --> 00:22:41,159
So we're back
on track. The elastic volume.

544
00:22:42,394 --> 00:22:45,630
Can you explain to our listeners
what elastic volume I get?

545
00:22:45,630 --> 00:22:46,932
I understand get flexible.

546
00:22:46,932 --> 00:22:49,000
I understand that one.

547
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,569
But this is elastic volumes.

548
00:22:50,569 --> 00:22:52,671
Got me intrigued. Sure, sure, sure.

549
00:22:52,671 --> 00:22:52,838
Yeah.

550
00:22:52,838 --> 00:22:57,008
So, Yeah, this is this is also
all information from, this guy

551
00:22:57,008 --> 00:23:00,011
that I know kind of in the community
is starting condition community.

552
00:23:00,512 --> 00:23:01,780
Daniel Bock.

553
00:23:01,780 --> 00:23:02,381
So, yeah, he,

554
00:23:02,381 --> 00:23:05,350
he suggests, he suggests I don't know
if I said jump science as well.

555
00:23:05,350 --> 00:23:06,318
That is.

556
00:23:06,318 --> 00:23:07,185
Or is it still jump science?

557
00:23:07,185 --> 00:23:11,022
Anyways, he suggested elastic volume,
which is, which is essentially just,

558
00:23:12,991 --> 00:23:14,693
kind of

559
00:23:14,693 --> 00:23:17,429
contacts that aren't like, lower
for like foot contacts

560
00:23:17,429 --> 00:23:20,732
that aren't necessarily
like super maximal.

561
00:23:20,732 --> 00:23:22,934
They're not necessarily full effort.

562
00:23:22,934 --> 00:23:26,004
So you can do them very often,
like things like sprinting,

563
00:23:27,005 --> 00:23:30,242
kind of small hops
and like the smaller plyometrics.

564
00:23:30,242 --> 00:23:33,378
So it's just the ability
to kind of just get contacts

565
00:23:34,346 --> 00:23:35,781
on your feet,

566
00:23:35,781 --> 00:23:39,317
for an extended period of time
or like overtime, kind of you.

567
00:23:40,986 --> 00:23:41,887
That's elastic volume.

568
00:23:41,887 --> 00:23:43,355
Yeah.

569
00:23:43,355 --> 00:23:45,724
Getting flexible. That makes sense. Right.

570
00:23:45,724 --> 00:23:50,529
You want to be able to do,
dynamic flexibility lunges, hip hinges.

571
00:23:50,629 --> 00:23:51,730
You know.

572
00:23:51,730 --> 00:23:55,300
And then for was to increase the deep
squat strength.

573
00:23:56,368 --> 00:23:59,304
How much could use what.

574
00:23:59,304 --> 00:24:00,605
When's the last time you squatted?

575
00:24:00,605 --> 00:24:03,608
And what's your squat routine so.

576
00:24:04,309 --> 00:24:05,844
Recently I. Haven't.

577
00:24:05,844 --> 00:24:07,946
Are you putting up Saquon Barkley numbers?

578
00:24:07,946 --> 00:24:10,482
And, No, I wish

579
00:24:10,482 --> 00:24:13,485
I, I actually haven't squatted
very recently.

580
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:16,054
Or not, like maximally.

581
00:24:16,054 --> 00:24:17,289
Intensely.

582
00:24:17,289 --> 00:24:19,891
But my best squat

583
00:24:19,891 --> 00:24:23,762
has been like 365 for three reps.

584
00:24:25,197 --> 00:24:28,900
So I'd like to think my one rep max
is probably in the 405 area,

585
00:24:29,167 --> 00:24:32,871
but I do deal with some knee stuff
in some quad stuff,

586
00:24:32,871 --> 00:24:36,107
so I haven't been able to to Squire's
heavily as I'd like to.

587
00:24:36,107 --> 00:24:38,376
And you're five nine
and how much do you weigh?

588
00:24:38,376 --> 00:24:40,579
I'm about 181.

589
00:24:40,579 --> 00:24:41,847
Yeah. Which is.

590
00:24:41,847 --> 00:24:44,683
So two years. Ago,
I would have been. Yeah.

591
00:24:44,683 --> 00:24:47,586
You know, for a couple of reps
for reps. Yeah.

592
00:24:47,586 --> 00:24:48,253
That's impressive.

593
00:24:50,121 --> 00:24:51,456
All right, so the deep squat.

594
00:24:51,456 --> 00:24:53,325
Yeah.

595
00:24:53,325 --> 00:24:56,061
You have squat I do air squats okay.

596
00:24:56,061 --> 00:24:56,628
That counts right.

597
00:24:56,628 --> 00:24:56,928
That's good.

598
00:24:56,928 --> 00:25:00,131
Yeah I think my mom doesn't
get into it. No.

599
00:25:00,131 --> 00:25:03,435
But like it's not. No it's wow.

600
00:25:03,768 --> 00:25:05,837
No, it's, My mom my mom's very strong.

601
00:25:05,837 --> 00:25:08,840
She's very healthy. So, it's not.

602
00:25:09,441 --> 00:25:10,375
Nice to meet you, Eric.

603
00:25:10,375 --> 00:25:13,378
You're not kidding.

604
00:25:13,545 --> 00:25:15,547
Okay. Air squats. Yeah, yeah.

605
00:25:15,547 --> 00:25:17,048
All right. I get my weight someday.

606
00:25:17,048 --> 00:25:18,116
Yeah. No. Take it.

607
00:25:18,116 --> 00:25:20,952
Take it at your own speed.

608
00:25:20,952 --> 00:25:23,955
There was a minute, but I got in shape.

609
00:25:24,856 --> 00:25:25,891
I was doing this call.

610
00:25:25,891 --> 00:25:28,059
It was call either whip or melt.

611
00:25:28,059 --> 00:25:30,495
I'm actually both of them
got me in pretty good shape.

612
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:35,166
And I swear I started missing layups
because I was not used to jumping so hot

613
00:25:35,433 --> 00:25:38,403
as I'm used to just being like credit card
hops.

614
00:25:38,403 --> 00:25:39,504
And my layups were here.

615
00:25:39,504 --> 00:25:42,541
But then I actually jumped
and I was going so high.

616
00:25:42,874 --> 00:25:43,608
Not used to

617
00:25:43,608 --> 00:25:46,177
you know
still like only getting the rubber,

618
00:25:46,177 --> 00:25:47,679
the rubber on the bottom of the backboard.

619
00:25:47,679 --> 00:25:50,649
Yep. That's the extent of my hops.
And I could touch the net.

620
00:25:51,683 --> 00:25:53,685
Come on you I want to grab the rim
one time.

621
00:25:53,685 --> 00:25:55,053
Yeah.

622
00:25:55,053 --> 00:25:57,088
Did you never dunk
when you were younger. Never.

623
00:25:57,088 --> 00:25:58,890
Oh wow. The tennis ball. Wow.

624
00:25:58,890 --> 00:26:00,692
You you're high school okay.

625
00:26:00,692 --> 00:26:01,126
That's it.

626
00:26:01,126 --> 00:26:04,062
Touch
the rim and just got the ball in. Yeah.

627
00:26:04,062 --> 00:26:05,931
Tennis ball. Oh that doesn't really count.

628
00:26:05,931 --> 00:26:07,532
Yeah. What is the Fulton Park.

629
00:26:07,532 --> 00:26:10,001
They had a
it was like nine and a half okay.

630
00:26:10,001 --> 00:26:12,671
And I don't like a ball there. Yeah.

631
00:26:12,671 --> 00:26:13,872
Felt like a god.

632
00:26:13,872 --> 00:26:16,708
It feels. Great. And I had a dunk
a ball hoop in front of my house.

633
00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:18,843
That was about eight feet or 8.5ft.

634
00:26:18,843 --> 00:26:19,411
Roll it out.

635
00:26:19,411 --> 00:26:22,881
All the boys would come over, you know,
dunk off the rebounder each other.

636
00:26:22,881 --> 00:26:23,748
Alley. Oops.

637
00:26:23,748 --> 00:26:26,985
Not some you feel on top of the world.

638
00:26:27,085 --> 00:26:27,886
Yeah.

639
00:26:27,886 --> 00:26:30,422
Like I was playing pool
basketball yesterday

640
00:26:30,422 --> 00:26:34,225
at my sister's house and like shooting
shooting and hearing a swish.

641
00:26:34,793 --> 00:26:36,561
No better sound in the world.

642
00:26:36,561 --> 00:26:37,362
Agree or disagree.

643
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:40,432
Okay.

644
00:26:40,432 --> 00:26:42,000
Do you like been hearing up the ball.

645
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,903
The dude in that would have dunking.

646
00:26:44,903 --> 00:26:49,441
Dunking was just a hard but no I mean
a great a great swishes excellent dunk.

647
00:26:49,441 --> 00:26:51,576
Look at his dunk injury I got.

648
00:26:51,576 --> 00:26:53,144
Oh injury.

649
00:26:53,144 --> 00:26:56,147
It's gonna look good
that I'll be dunked in the pool.

650
00:26:56,715 --> 00:26:58,550
That's it. Did
it caught my fingernail in the net.

651
00:26:58,550 --> 00:27:00,485
And that was just yesterday.
That was yesterday.

652
00:27:00,485 --> 00:27:03,121
I'm a beast. Yeah. In spirit of you. This.

653
00:27:03,121 --> 00:27:06,124
I mean, listen, there's a difference

654
00:27:06,324 --> 00:27:09,327
between playing hurt and playing injured.

655
00:27:09,494 --> 00:27:12,597
Listen, injuries are temporary, you know,

656
00:27:12,631 --> 00:27:15,967
pool, basketball championships
against my nephews lasts forever.

657
00:27:15,967 --> 00:27:17,535
Forever.

658
00:27:17,535 --> 00:27:19,904
Oh, it's hurts so bad. Look at that.

659
00:27:19,904 --> 00:27:22,073
Wearing it like a badge of honor.

660
00:27:22,073 --> 00:27:24,242
I dunked on my nephew Cooper, I love it.

661
00:27:24,242 --> 00:27:25,577
He's 14. Awesome.

662
00:27:26,911 --> 00:27:27,379
And you get.

663
00:27:27,379 --> 00:27:28,947
You didn't get your legs, face.

664
00:27:28,947 --> 00:27:31,082
And I dunked them in the pool and that.

665
00:27:31,082 --> 00:27:34,052
But, you know, hey comes with a price.

666
00:27:34,452 --> 00:27:36,488
I'm willing to pay this. All the. Greats
need. Yes.

667
00:27:36,488 --> 00:27:39,491
Finger left, pinky gone. If I could dunk.

668
00:27:39,891 --> 00:27:42,327
I'll wiggle nine fingers,
you know, to be able to dunk.

669
00:27:42,327 --> 00:27:44,062
Is that outrageous?
Have you. Ever. No. That's.

670
00:27:44,062 --> 00:27:45,830
I think that's a

671
00:27:45,830 --> 00:27:46,865
not that exact one.

672
00:27:46,865 --> 00:27:49,868
But I think it's a
I think it's a fair trade off.

673
00:27:50,001 --> 00:27:50,969
It's fair trade off.

674
00:27:50,969 --> 00:27:51,202
Yeah.

675
00:27:51,202 --> 00:27:54,205
Who needs a pinky finger
when you're Yamin. Yep.

676
00:27:56,408 --> 00:27:57,509
Come on. Chee.

677
00:27:57,509 --> 00:27:59,944
Let's do this. Jimmy dunking.
Yeah, please.

678
00:27:59,944 --> 00:28:02,347
Should check out.
You should check out the dunk camp.

679
00:28:02,347 --> 00:28:05,483
Is it a training video
or is it just, camp?

680
00:28:05,483 --> 00:28:06,985
Sounds like all the boys go in.

681
00:28:06,985 --> 00:28:09,154
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I watched that video.

682
00:28:09,154 --> 00:28:10,288
Yeah. Is it?

683
00:28:10,288 --> 00:28:11,956
Oh. It's okay.

684
00:28:11,956 --> 00:28:13,591
No, I'm just saying
it's I'm just saying it's a it's

685
00:28:13,591 --> 00:28:16,361
it's a, it's it's like a camp
and there's ranges of ages.

686
00:28:16,361 --> 00:28:16,628
Right.

687
00:28:16,628 --> 00:28:19,564
You wouldn't
you want to be the youngest one obviously.

688
00:28:19,564 --> 00:28:20,565
But you wouldn't be the oldest one.

689
00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:22,767
So yeah, I think it's really cool.

690
00:28:22,767 --> 00:28:24,636
And that's at Utah Alternate Air.

691
00:28:24,636 --> 00:28:27,939
Oh, so you guys
were going to be highlighted.

692
00:28:27,939 --> 00:28:32,110
But then there's campers like me
that go to improve their jump.

693
00:28:32,711 --> 00:28:34,345
And then you put on the show.

694
00:28:34,345 --> 00:28:36,715
Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Exactly.

695
00:28:36,715 --> 00:28:40,285
I me personally, personally
I wasn't quite a celebrity dunker as.

696
00:28:40,652 --> 00:28:42,754
But in a way yeah. Yeah.

697
00:28:42,754 --> 00:28:44,222
But yeah
there's, there's, there's the pros

698
00:28:44,222 --> 00:28:48,326
and there's the kind of campers
attendees I'm a go to learn.

699
00:28:48,326 --> 00:28:53,098
And so I worked for one camp and next week
I'm going to be at Kingswood Oxford.

700
00:28:53,198 --> 00:28:53,631
Okay.

701
00:28:53,631 --> 00:28:56,634
Can you come by with some people
and dunk for the kids?

702
00:28:56,735 --> 00:28:58,436
Are you available?

703
00:28:58,436 --> 00:29:02,073
Oh, next week you got seven to the 11th.

704
00:29:03,208 --> 00:29:06,111
You know, it camps from like 9 to 3.

705
00:29:06,111 --> 00:29:08,780
Okay, let's take off some time on. Where I

706
00:29:09,881 --> 00:29:11,950
don't for the media and get, pumped up.

707
00:29:11,950 --> 00:29:14,953
You could we could advertise jumps by key.

708
00:29:16,054 --> 00:29:17,722
Tuesday is my birthday.

709
00:29:17,722 --> 00:29:19,290
I try and take that day off I love that.

710
00:29:19,290 --> 00:29:22,093
That's a thing I try to,
I try to dunk every day on my birthday.

711
00:29:22,093 --> 00:29:23,962
Hit a new dunk. So maybe I get two.

712
00:29:23,962 --> 00:29:26,197
Does that two days. Don't do that JK.

713
00:29:26,197 --> 00:29:28,533
Oh comes up to like 55 years old
now still.

714
00:29:28,533 --> 00:29:31,402
Wow. Shout out to Dave.
That's awesome. Awesome birthday.

715
00:29:31,402 --> 00:29:33,972
That's a great move.
It's it's it gets no better feeling. Yeah.

716
00:29:33,972 --> 00:29:37,308
Well listen if I could dunk
I would dunk every day.

717
00:29:38,343 --> 00:29:40,645
You could you could take it
to an eight foot hoop a nine foot hoop.

718
00:29:40,645 --> 00:29:43,681
It's I, I think it's
all the same genuinely not all the same.

719
00:29:43,681 --> 00:29:46,885
But I think,
I think some of the feeling is, oh is I.

720
00:29:46,918 --> 00:29:47,786
Even have a pool. Yes.

721
00:29:47,786 --> 00:29:49,954
Yeah. Exactly
that. Like a god I know Kobe.

722
00:29:49,954 --> 00:29:52,590
Yeah Kobe caught it off the rim. Yep.

723
00:29:55,026 --> 00:29:57,295
All right. So

724
00:29:57,295 --> 00:29:58,196
two for one.

725
00:29:58,196 --> 00:29:58,563
Yeah.

726
00:29:58,563 --> 00:30:01,533
Come by if you can dunk for the kids.

727
00:30:04,235 --> 00:30:04,869
Two for one.

728
00:30:04,869 --> 00:30:06,671
Oh, yeah. One day you are speaking.

729
00:30:06,671 --> 00:30:11,609
I work, I play basketball for 16 years
at the JC over 30 men's league.

730
00:30:12,110 --> 00:30:13,812
And we had a sponsor once.

731
00:30:13,812 --> 00:30:16,748
It was the last breed
you were dunking in a Los breed?

732
00:30:16,748 --> 00:30:19,117
T yeah, yeah, dudes can jump too.

733
00:30:19,117 --> 00:30:19,884
Yeah, yeah.

734
00:30:19,884 --> 00:30:22,353
What's your connection with them?

735
00:30:22,353 --> 00:30:24,656
Well, they went to Conard and Josh.

736
00:30:24,656 --> 00:30:25,490
Yeah.

737
00:30:25,490 --> 00:30:27,759
I didn't know them at that time, though.

738
00:30:27,759 --> 00:30:29,661
I think they might have actually graduated
just a year before me.

739
00:30:29,661 --> 00:30:32,330
Or maybe I was a freshman
when they were seniors.

740
00:30:32,330 --> 00:30:35,767
But I think, again, like, I was
this was around 2016, 2017.

741
00:30:36,301 --> 00:30:38,236
I was seeing,

742
00:30:38,236 --> 00:30:41,039
mainly like ants and,

743
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,042
jumping on vending machines
and doing these crazy dunks.

744
00:30:44,576 --> 00:30:45,743
And I was like, Holy cow.

745
00:30:45,743 --> 00:30:49,080
Again, like, I'd love to,
you know, try and try and do that.

746
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:53,651
So, so actually originally I have,
I have my old Instagram account

747
00:30:53,651 --> 00:30:57,055
or my personal Instagram account
where I started posting jump videos

748
00:30:57,055 --> 00:31:00,058
and dunk videos, but I liked it so much
I was like, I just want to do this.

749
00:31:00,091 --> 00:31:03,895
So I made another account and the last
was a big part of that because, oh cool.

750
00:31:04,062 --> 00:31:05,263
So all the things that were doing. Yeah,

751
00:31:06,364 --> 00:31:09,367
no, that's great. And

752
00:31:10,101 --> 00:31:12,770
Oh, I want to thank you for being here,
your good friend.

753
00:31:12,770 --> 00:31:15,473
Number one, I want to shout out
we did a birdhouse for charity.

754
00:31:15,473 --> 00:31:17,141
We raised

755
00:31:17,141 --> 00:31:20,678
$10,300 for birds of charity. One.

756
00:31:21,079 --> 00:31:23,281
Is it met by the travelers?

757
00:31:23,281 --> 00:31:24,716
And Webster Bank?

758
00:31:24,716 --> 00:31:27,785
They match every donation with 15%. So.

759
00:31:28,019 --> 00:31:30,521
So I want to thank you for
being so generous. You made that happen.

760
00:31:30,521 --> 00:31:32,924
So you were with some of the people
that donated to that.

761
00:31:32,924 --> 00:31:34,559
Thank you for your generosity.

762
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:36,261
Thank you for taking the time to be here.

763
00:31:36,261 --> 00:31:38,263
And hopefully you can teach me
how to dunk.

764
00:31:38,263 --> 00:31:41,833
Yeah, maybe I'll give you the 10,000
my own money.

765
00:31:41,833 --> 00:31:42,367
Yeah.

766
00:31:42,367 --> 00:31:45,370
And my left pinky to be able to.

767
00:31:46,704 --> 00:31:48,773
And then we have a common friend
Stephen Aspinall.

768
00:31:48,773 --> 00:31:49,908
Yep. Great guy.

769
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:50,842
He definitely. Definitely.

770
00:31:50,842 --> 00:31:53,845
With some help
grew up across the street from my house.

771
00:31:53,912 --> 00:31:58,416
If you're interested,
he is episode 122 Stephen Aspinall.

772
00:31:58,616 --> 00:31:59,250
Good episode.

773
00:32:00,618 --> 00:32:02,153
Our motto is be a good friend.

774
00:32:02,153 --> 00:32:06,391
Hold the door, pick up trash,
give compliments and be charitable.

775
00:32:07,191 --> 00:32:08,826
All right.
I want to give you this. Be a good friend.

776
00:32:08,826 --> 00:32:09,460
Thank you so. Much.

777
00:32:09,460 --> 00:32:12,463
What make Stephen a good friend?

778
00:32:16,334 --> 00:32:19,337
Oh. No.

779
00:32:20,071 --> 00:32:26,411
He, I would say he's he's

780
00:32:27,445 --> 00:32:30,281
he's easy to talk to you, number one.

781
00:32:30,281 --> 00:32:33,284
I feel like we've known each other
for for so long, and it's very,

782
00:32:34,485 --> 00:32:36,421
we have a we have a pretty close

783
00:32:36,421 --> 00:32:39,390
relationship.

784
00:32:40,091 --> 00:32:42,860
What specifically makes him
a good friend is just.

785
00:32:42,860 --> 00:32:45,863
Yeah, I think I think that we can
talk about just about anything,

786
00:32:46,264 --> 00:32:47,432
and, of course, laugh.

787
00:32:47,432 --> 00:32:51,002
And now, you know, it's better in soccer.

788
00:32:51,002 --> 00:32:52,971
You or him?

789
00:32:52,971 --> 00:32:54,973
Can I say me?
You can say whoever you want.

790
00:32:54,973 --> 00:32:56,741
That's a complete lie. But I want to see.

791
00:32:56,741 --> 00:32:58,242
I want to see what he has
to say about that.

792
00:32:58,242 --> 00:33:00,278
But if you're listening, Steve,
what minute are we?

793
00:33:00,278 --> 00:33:01,612
Dave? 33.

794
00:33:01,612 --> 00:33:03,214
Where I'm at minute 34.

795
00:33:03,214 --> 00:33:06,217
Stephen, he's
calling you out on your soccer ability.

796
00:33:06,217 --> 00:33:08,486
Stephen. Coaches travel soccer.

797
00:33:08,486 --> 00:33:10,355
You know
Stephen to come from a soccer family.

798
00:33:10,355 --> 00:33:12,423
Yeah. Stephen is Peruvian.

799
00:33:12,423 --> 00:33:14,459
Stephen love soccer.

800
00:33:14,459 --> 00:33:16,995
Yeah. She is here on record
saying that he's better than him.

801
00:33:16,995 --> 00:33:18,296
Way better. This is great.

802
00:33:18,296 --> 00:33:20,431
Not a better coach, but a better player.

803
00:33:20,431 --> 00:33:21,599
And who's better in basketball?

804
00:33:21,599 --> 00:33:23,167
You are Stephen.

805
00:33:23,167 --> 00:33:25,203
Me because. We may have video.

806
00:33:25,203 --> 00:33:26,037
Yeah. Otherwise.

807
00:33:26,037 --> 00:33:28,439
Or proves this theory.

808
00:33:28,439 --> 00:33:30,975
Stephen I'm sorry. We call this

809
00:33:32,210 --> 00:33:34,946
putting someone on blast. Yep.

810
00:33:34,946 --> 00:33:37,949
We're going to flame Stephen right now.

811
00:33:38,016 --> 00:33:39,917
So you do a lot of videos.

812
00:33:39,917 --> 00:33:42,553
Oh, very cool
that you film a lot of walk at park.

813
00:33:42,553 --> 00:33:44,689
Shout out to park.

814
00:33:44,689 --> 00:33:47,725
This is gee, if you look closely,
I almost block it

815
00:33:47,725 --> 00:33:51,562
Stephen of of vert approach and boom,

816
00:33:53,364 --> 00:33:54,065
slow mo here.

817
00:33:54,065 --> 00:33:57,001
Stephen I can't wait.

818
00:33:57,001 --> 00:33:59,871
I don't like this.

819
00:33:59,871 --> 00:34:01,072
We're gonna watch this at this time.

820
00:34:01,072 --> 00:34:01,939
Ben's going to go right here.

821
00:34:01,939 --> 00:34:04,809
Stephen,
do you think it's net midway up net?

822
00:34:04,809 --> 00:34:06,210
He's almost touching the hoop. Yeah.

823
00:34:06,210 --> 00:34:08,012
And it really honestly surprised me.

824
00:34:08,012 --> 00:34:10,548
This was this was also several years
back. I'd love to.

825
00:34:10,548 --> 00:34:11,749
I'd love to do it again.

826
00:34:11,749 --> 00:34:12,750
If he's.

827
00:34:12,750 --> 00:34:15,153
We're to cut a video.
I want to get dunked. Yeah.

828
00:34:15,153 --> 00:34:16,521
I would have blocked or shot.

829
00:34:16,521 --> 00:34:19,524
I'm like right there. Would've been close.

830
00:34:19,657 --> 00:34:21,359
Yeah. Right. Stephen.

831
00:34:24,429 --> 00:34:25,496
Oh man.

832
00:34:25,496 --> 00:34:27,231
That's great Stephen.

833
00:34:27,231 --> 00:34:30,001
Keep trying, but keep trying.

834
00:34:30,001 --> 00:34:31,769
How? Maybe we play horse.

835
00:34:31,769 --> 00:34:33,004
One day I'll beat you guys.

836
00:34:33,004 --> 00:34:34,472
That horse? Yep.

837
00:34:34,472 --> 00:34:36,040
Like, I bet you're a shooting.

838
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,475
I'm a shooter. Oh, no.

839
00:34:37,475 --> 00:34:38,409
Definitely not a dunker.

840
00:34:38,409 --> 00:34:41,412
We we already established that.

841
00:34:42,246 --> 00:34:43,147
Now we'll see.

842
00:34:43,147 --> 00:34:45,216
Not so, Stephen, shout out to Stephen.

843
00:34:45,216 --> 00:34:47,351
Episode 2122.

844
00:34:47,351 --> 00:34:48,186
Come again.

845
00:34:48,186 --> 00:34:49,787
We're here for episode 143.

846
00:34:49,787 --> 00:34:52,190
What jumps with G.

847
00:34:52,190 --> 00:34:54,092
Just amazing content. Where's the.

848
00:34:54,092 --> 00:34:56,527
Where do you take the time?
Where's the motivation?

849
00:34:56,527 --> 00:34:59,530
The inspiration to start jumps with G.

850
00:35:01,566 --> 00:35:05,369
So yeah, I think it was just
I wanted a place

851
00:35:05,369 --> 00:35:08,372
where I could just share
specifically just jumping stuff.

852
00:35:09,474 --> 00:35:12,276
And I want it to be I don't want to
necessarily focus on dunking.

853
00:35:12,276 --> 00:35:15,279
So I could have done dunks by G,
but I did jumps by G, which is

854
00:35:15,613 --> 00:35:16,981
I want to kind of leave myself open.

855
00:35:16,981 --> 00:35:18,483
I could have done whatever either way. But

856
00:35:19,684 --> 00:35:22,120
Well, that's important
because you also do the triple jump,

857
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,254
which is an amazing sport.

858
00:35:23,254 --> 00:35:24,122
One get into that.

859
00:35:24,122 --> 00:35:28,426
Yeah, but and then the high jump and how
long jump and longer jumps by cheap.

860
00:35:28,459 --> 00:35:29,594
Yeah. Everything.

861
00:35:29,594 --> 00:35:33,331
And now I'm trying to do some backflips
and stuff like that.

862
00:35:33,331 --> 00:35:34,799
So I'll talk about that show that video.

863
00:35:34,799 --> 00:35:37,335
Yeah. But

864
00:35:37,335 --> 00:35:38,236
jumps by G.

865
00:35:38,236 --> 00:35:40,671
Yeah. Yeah.

866
00:35:40,671 --> 00:35:43,174
I kind of lost my,

867
00:35:43,174 --> 00:35:44,809
The content and stuff and.

868
00:35:44,809 --> 00:35:46,410
Oh yeah.

869
00:35:46,410 --> 00:35:48,579
I don't know if this is related,
but, like, my my,

870
00:35:48,579 --> 00:35:51,582
I like to think that I enjoy making videos

871
00:35:51,782 --> 00:35:54,952
or trying to kind of make stories
or make things that look cool.

872
00:35:56,654 --> 00:35:58,723
Because my mom is, my mom is an artist.

873
00:35:58,723 --> 00:36:01,092
She's a professor.

874
00:36:01,092 --> 00:36:04,095
Central doing like, 3D design.

875
00:36:04,862 --> 00:36:08,466
And my dad's an author
and a professor as well, and a novelist.

876
00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:13,137
So I'd like to think I kind of, in a way,
I'm blending a little bit of storytelling

877
00:36:13,137 --> 00:36:16,140
and a little bit of visual
art into, into these videos.

878
00:36:16,140 --> 00:36:16,908
Sometimes.

879
00:36:18,176 --> 00:36:18,442
So. Yeah.

880
00:36:18,442 --> 00:36:19,644
And I just, I just enjoy it again.

881
00:36:19,644 --> 00:36:21,078
I feel like it's kind of problem

882
00:36:21,078 --> 00:36:25,383
solving in building
and constructing a video that I.

883
00:36:25,383 --> 00:36:27,185
Yeah, enjoy.

884
00:36:27,185 --> 00:36:31,589
Do what you love and, you know,
put out content and put out some work.

885
00:36:31,589 --> 00:36:33,824
I love it. Yeah. That's great.

886
00:36:33,824 --> 00:36:35,026
So mom's at central.

887
00:36:35,026 --> 00:36:36,994
Where's dad?

888
00:36:36,994 --> 00:36:39,530
So he was most recently at UMass Amherst.

889
00:36:39,530 --> 00:36:40,765
Okay.

890
00:36:40,765 --> 00:36:44,335
So he'll usually do, like,
kind of one year contracts.

891
00:36:44,335 --> 00:36:46,571
He likes to travel and have his free time.

892
00:36:46,571 --> 00:36:48,806
He's also, an author,
so he's always writing,

893
00:36:48,806 --> 00:36:50,808
and he wants time for that as well.

894
00:36:50,808 --> 00:36:55,012
But yeah, he's been he's
been at Trinity Brown, UMass Amherst,

895
00:36:55,580 --> 00:36:58,583
Saint Lawrence University
and I think Kent in New York.

896
00:36:59,317 --> 00:37:02,086
Get my daughter got a scholarship
to Saint Lawrence.

897
00:37:02,086 --> 00:37:03,654
Oh, okay. Is it all. Girls?

898
00:37:03,654 --> 00:37:05,389
No, I don't believe so.

899
00:37:05,389 --> 00:37:06,624
I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

900
00:37:06,624 --> 00:37:07,191
I don't think it is.

901
00:37:07,191 --> 00:37:09,560
Actually, it's that's another school.

902
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:10,861
Oh, wow. What subject?

903
00:37:12,930 --> 00:37:13,397
English.

904
00:37:13,397 --> 00:37:14,632
African literature.

905
00:37:14,632 --> 00:37:16,267
And mom. Subject.

906
00:37:16,267 --> 00:37:18,369
Three design ceramics. Oh. That's right.

907
00:37:18,369 --> 00:37:19,170
Yeah, yeah.

908
00:37:19,170 --> 00:37:22,173
And what are some novels
that dad has read?

909
00:37:22,907 --> 00:37:25,776
So his first one, he's also nonfiction.

910
00:37:25,776 --> 00:37:28,779
Fiction.

911
00:37:29,313 --> 00:37:31,249
So his name.

912
00:37:31,249 --> 00:37:33,851
His name is. Okay. Okay, okay.

913
00:37:33,851 --> 00:37:34,352
Okay.

914
00:37:34,352 --> 00:37:37,021
Yeah, it's spelled okay. UI.

915
00:37:37,021 --> 00:37:39,223
Oh, your UI. Yeah.

916
00:37:39,223 --> 00:37:42,226
So, yeah, he's written, I think his first
novel is called Arrows of Rain.

917
00:37:44,462 --> 00:37:45,730
And then his second one,

918
00:37:45,730 --> 00:37:48,733
Foreign Gods, Inc.,
or Foreign Gods Incorporated.

919
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,603
He has a memoir,

920
00:37:53,004 --> 00:37:56,007
never looking American in the eye.

921
00:37:56,540 --> 00:37:59,143
And I think he's
working on his most recent one.

922
00:37:59,143 --> 00:38:00,945
We're trying to find a,

923
00:38:00,945 --> 00:38:03,214
agent or kind of navigate

924
00:38:03,214 --> 00:38:06,284
the, publishing kind of, space right now.

925
00:38:06,284 --> 00:38:07,151
Yeah.

926
00:38:07,151 --> 00:38:09,020
And you got some legacy there. Yeah.

927
00:38:09,020 --> 00:38:10,921
Tough shoes to fill.
That's awesome. I love it.

928
00:38:12,490 --> 00:38:13,190
That's cool.

929
00:38:13,190 --> 00:38:15,593
And how many brothers and sisters?

930
00:38:15,593 --> 00:38:17,261
I have, one brother and one sister.

931
00:38:17,261 --> 00:38:18,663
Both older.

932
00:38:18,663 --> 00:38:20,831
Oh, you're a baby. Yeah, yeah.

933
00:38:20,831 --> 00:38:22,233
Oh, baby.

934
00:38:22,233 --> 00:38:23,401
Maybe that's why you jump so much.

935
00:38:23,401 --> 00:38:24,602
You're like, hey, I got a jump.

936
00:38:24,602 --> 00:38:27,038
Look at me. I'm jumping

00:38:32,076 --> 00:38:34,612
Hey, mom, look at me season.
And you know what?

940
00:38:34,612 --> 00:38:38,716

jump in the pool or do a cartwheel.

941
00:38:38,716 --> 00:38:40,051
Hey, show me.

942
00:38:40,051 --> 00:38:41,952
So you just started jumping
out of the gym?

943
00:38:41,952 --> 00:38:44,488
Yeah, at a young age.

944
00:38:44,488 --> 00:38:46,090
Hey, look at me.

945
00:38:46,090 --> 00:38:47,491
Wow. Interesting.

946
00:38:47,491 --> 00:38:48,926
Great to learn more about you.

947
00:38:48,926 --> 00:38:51,929
Yeah, I think it's amazing.

948
00:38:51,962 --> 00:38:53,731
Again, just want to dunk.

949
00:38:54,799 --> 00:38:55,700
And what

950
00:38:55,700 --> 00:38:58,502
what makes you always go to walk park?

951
00:38:58,502 --> 00:39:01,138
It's like, just right down the road again.

952
00:39:01,138 --> 00:39:02,907
I'm just right behind
kind of Corbin's corner.

953
00:39:02,907 --> 00:39:06,210
So it's kind of, I don't know, I don't
actually know what that street is, but

954
00:39:07,611 --> 00:39:10,715
what the entrance
that's that's closest to the basketball

955
00:39:10,715 --> 00:39:12,516
court is just right down the road from me.

956
00:39:12,516 --> 00:39:13,884
So I could walk there, but.

957
00:39:13,884 --> 00:39:14,552
I don't know.

958
00:39:14,552 --> 00:39:16,787
I don't know if it's like Elm Field.

959
00:39:16,787 --> 00:39:17,221
Don't.

960
00:39:17,221 --> 00:39:20,224
No. Elm fields, the hill
that's near walk at school. Oh.

961
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:21,892
So I'm way off on that actually.

962
00:39:21,892 --> 00:39:23,361
Actually it does it continue.

963
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:26,364
It might continue
like on the other side of walk it then

964
00:39:27,465 --> 00:39:29,233
I just me yeah.

965
00:39:29,233 --> 00:39:31,936
I'm just throwing stuff out
I don't know. Yeah. You're tracking.

966
00:39:31,936 --> 00:39:32,937
You're getting close.

967
00:39:32,937 --> 00:39:33,738
What's my guy's name?

968
00:39:33,738 --> 00:39:36,874

his backyard is the pickleball courts.

Ty. You have you never met him? Ty.

977
00:39:53,124 --> 00:39:55,593
You have to admit
I'm not sure the basketball circle,

978
00:39:55,593 --> 00:39:58,162
but he says he's the all time
leading scorer.

979
00:39:58,162 --> 00:39:59,330
Now walk it. Park.

980
00:39:59,330 --> 00:40:00,598
Oh, wow.

981
00:40:00,598 --> 00:40:02,400
How many bullets have you gotten that
walk it.

982
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,370
Do you, second in scoring at Walker Park?

983
00:40:06,370 --> 00:40:08,372
If I've got to be,
I've got to be top ten. Okay.

984
00:40:08,372 --> 00:40:10,875
Your time that I agree.

985
00:40:10,875 --> 00:40:12,042
Maybe most dunks.

986
00:40:12,042 --> 00:40:14,011
I think I think maybe maybe number one
most dunks. Yeah.

987
00:40:14,011 --> 00:40:15,513
All right I'll do that
I'll take that for sure.

988
00:40:15,513 --> 00:40:18,149
But I have my welcome
to West Hartford moment.

989
00:40:18,149 --> 00:40:19,917
So I moved in 16 years ago.

990
00:40:19,917 --> 00:40:22,420
Sunday night used to be like legit run.

991
00:40:22,420 --> 00:40:22,753
Yeah.

992
00:40:22,753 --> 00:40:26,257
At Walker Park
16 years ago under the lights.

993
00:40:26,257 --> 00:40:27,992
A lot of stress, a lot of pressure.

994
00:40:27,992 --> 00:40:32,129
And it's like,
you got to call winners and wait right?

995
00:40:32,163 --> 00:40:33,330
And then you finally get on.

996
00:40:33,330 --> 00:40:37,201
And no one picked me,
you know, tall, doofy kid, older,

997
00:40:38,636 --> 00:40:39,603
and then played a

998
00:40:39,603 --> 00:40:42,606
couple games
and then like everyone, no one passes.

999
00:40:43,407 --> 00:40:44,275
So you got to rebound.

1000
00:40:44,275 --> 00:40:45,976
And I've been rebounding.

1001
00:40:45,976 --> 00:40:48,712
I got the technique
like I learned from Dennis Rodman.

1002
00:40:48,712 --> 00:40:51,715
You know the angles, I a bump,
I know how to get the rebound.

1003
00:40:53,250 --> 00:40:55,986
A lot of rebounds.

1004
00:40:55,986 --> 00:40:57,121
Then I go to leave.

1005
00:40:57,121 --> 00:41:00,090
Some guy goes hey,

1006
00:41:00,691 --> 00:41:02,927
unk, I think you call me Unk or Grandpa.

1007
00:41:02,927 --> 00:41:05,362
I hope it wasn't grandpa,
but I overheard unk.

1008
00:41:05,362 --> 00:41:07,231
Unk, you want to run me?

1009
00:41:07,231 --> 00:41:10,534
I'm like, oh, it was like a, My moment.

1010
00:41:10,534 --> 00:41:13,537
Yeah, I like he asked me of all people.

1011
00:41:13,838 --> 00:41:17,341
So I played again, you know,
and it was like, all right, felt,

1012
00:41:18,576 --> 00:41:21,145
you know, it was confirming,
not revealing,

1013
00:41:21,145 --> 00:41:24,181
but felt good to get recognized in it.

1014
00:41:24,181 --> 00:41:27,184
A little kudos, little shout out unk.

1015
00:41:27,184 --> 00:41:30,187
You know,
they call me the custodian, right.

1016
00:41:30,387 --> 00:41:31,989
Cleaning up garbage. Yep.

1017
00:41:31,989 --> 00:41:33,724
I'm a Windex, man. I clean the glass

1018
00:41:34,725 --> 00:41:36,660
and I like to play who I love it.

1019
00:41:36,660 --> 00:41:39,630
So I've been playing for 16 years
at the over 30 men's league.

1020
00:41:39,930 --> 00:41:42,433
I have three championships. Wow.

1021
00:41:42,433 --> 00:41:45,603
Most recently won at the Winter 2023.

1022
00:41:45,870 --> 00:41:48,939
Now, the following season
I went oh and 14.

1023
00:41:50,207 --> 00:41:51,475
So when you say best worst.

1024
00:41:51,475 --> 00:41:53,544
Yeah that's I went from hero to zero.

1025
00:41:53,544 --> 00:41:55,546
Well but walk it park.

1026
00:41:55,546 --> 00:41:56,881
That was my walk at Park Story

1027
00:41:56,881 --> 00:41:58,916
and I live across the street actually,
you know where I live. Yep.

1028
00:41:58,916 --> 00:42:00,784
And you hear the dinking and dunking.

1029
00:42:00,784 --> 00:42:02,686
How's your pickleball game?
Do you ever play pickleball?

1030
00:42:02,686 --> 00:42:03,787
Yeah, I picked up a lot of pickleball.

1031
00:42:03,787 --> 00:42:06,357
I think last year, maybe two years ago.

1032
00:42:06,357 --> 00:42:06,824
I like it.

1033
00:42:06,824 --> 00:42:11,195
I, I'm a huge fan of table tennis, so
I like to call pickleball medium tennis.

1034
00:42:11,195 --> 00:42:13,531
And then tennis is tennis.

1035
00:42:13,531 --> 00:42:13,697
Yeah.

1036
00:42:13,697 --> 00:42:16,166
So nice that, ping pong,
if you want to go.

1037
00:42:16,166 --> 00:42:16,834
I would love it.

1038
00:42:16,834 --> 00:42:19,470
I would love it. Used to have a table,
and then my parents got rid of it.

1039
00:42:19,470 --> 00:42:20,804
And girls club champ.

1040
00:42:20,804 --> 00:42:22,573
Oh. Well, great. Of Waterbury.

1041
00:42:22,573 --> 00:42:26,810
Okay, I a self-proclaimed, but I was
councilor there, so I beat the kids. Yep.

1042
00:42:27,745 --> 00:42:30,047
Or I was the physical director.

1043
00:42:30,047 --> 00:42:32,116
And they had a teen center.
So I would go down there.

1044
00:42:32,116 --> 00:42:33,417
Oh okay.

1045
00:42:33,417 --> 00:42:35,486
And I'm undefeated at my in-laws house.

1046
00:42:35,486 --> 00:42:37,955
Okay.
I beat my father in law all my nephews.

1047
00:42:37,955 --> 00:42:41,792
Yeah, my brother in law
undefeated Christmas and Thanksgiving. So.

1048
00:42:42,293 --> 00:42:43,427
All right I go for me.

1049
00:42:43,427 --> 00:42:46,430
Honestly sounds like a challenge
I'd love I'd love to play.

1050
00:42:46,997 --> 00:42:47,565
All right. Cool.

1051
00:42:48,699 --> 00:42:49,233
No walk.

1052
00:42:49,233 --> 00:42:50,935
You park you some really cool videos.

1053
00:42:50,935 --> 00:42:53,938
Obviously dunked on
Steven at the Waukee park.

1054
00:42:54,305 --> 00:42:56,273
You did something cool where you put the.

1055
00:42:56,273 --> 00:42:57,575
You put a bell?

1056
00:42:57,575 --> 00:42:57,908
Yeah.

1057
00:42:57,908 --> 00:42:58,242
Oh, yeah.

1058
00:42:58,242 --> 00:42:59,677
That's kid. Hit it.

1059
00:42:59,677 --> 00:43:01,512
You gave him 20 bucks. Yeah.

1060
00:43:01,512 --> 00:43:04,114
And you shelled out like 200 bucks.

1061
00:43:04,114 --> 00:43:06,183
Yeah. What made you do that?
Why did you do that one?

1062
00:43:06,183 --> 00:43:07,618
That was pretty funny.

1063
00:43:07,618 --> 00:43:11,021
After a while, you're like, I don't have
any more cash, but I'll cash app.

1064
00:43:11,021 --> 00:43:12,056
You are Venmo you. Yeah.

1065
00:43:12,056 --> 00:43:15,059
And I was like,
wow, you're still giving out cash?

1066
00:43:15,893 --> 00:43:17,861
Where you why'd you said it at 11?

1067
00:43:17,861 --> 00:43:19,830
Did you think not a lot of
people would get it?

1068
00:43:19,830 --> 00:43:22,833
Because I felt like the success
rate was really good that day.

1069
00:43:22,833 --> 00:43:24,335
Yeah, yeah.

1070
00:43:24,335 --> 00:43:25,703
I want to talk about that video or.

1071
00:43:25,703 --> 00:43:26,937
Yeah. So,

1072
00:43:28,205 --> 00:43:31,408
It's, it's a it's a training tool
that I really enjoy.

1073
00:43:31,408 --> 00:43:34,278
It's called the Vert trainer.

1074
00:43:34,278 --> 00:43:36,447
And I don't know, I love
I love watching people jump.

1075
00:43:36,447 --> 00:43:39,183
I love watching people, like,
get excited about jumping.

1076
00:43:39,183 --> 00:43:40,250
And I love making videos.

1077
00:43:40,250 --> 00:43:41,719
And I've seen videos similar, like where

1078
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,254
if you can achieve this, like,
I'll give you this.

1079
00:43:44,254 --> 00:43:45,789
If you could hang on the bar, dude.

1080
00:43:45,789 --> 00:43:47,491
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1081
00:43:47,491 --> 00:43:50,494
So yeah, I think I think I slightly
miscalculated the talent.

1082
00:43:50,961 --> 00:43:53,197
At at the park that. Day work everyone.

1083
00:43:53,197 --> 00:43:54,164
Yeah.

1084
00:43:54,164 --> 00:43:56,066
And I think I originally had it
at ten six.

1085
00:43:56,066 --> 00:43:57,935
And then there were a couple people
that I allowed to try

1086
00:43:57,935 --> 00:44:00,938
and jumping in at 11ft
for an additional $20.

1087
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:02,940
But yeah.

1088
00:44:02,940 --> 00:44:05,476
And it's also it's also a product
I'm kind of affiliated with.

1089
00:44:05,476 --> 00:44:07,778
So I thought of it as like
a little bit of an investment. Right?

1090
00:44:07,778 --> 00:44:09,580
I could spend some money

1091
00:44:09,580 --> 00:44:11,815
and then if people
if the video got enough traction, right,

1092
00:44:11,815 --> 00:44:14,818
getting enough eyes on the product
and they bought it, I think it's a.

1093
00:44:15,352 --> 00:44:18,122
Somewhat what piece of equipment are we
are we talking about?

1094
00:44:18,122 --> 00:44:20,491
What is it? Is this the big pole?

1095
00:44:20,491 --> 00:44:21,659
Yep. Different.

1096
00:44:21,659 --> 00:44:24,061
You know,
so it's, it's called the vert trainer.

1097
00:44:24,061 --> 00:44:28,232
It's kind of like a newer, it's, it's
a newer product, and it's actually made

1098
00:44:28,232 --> 00:44:31,402
by the same guy who founded the dunk camp.

1099
00:44:32,236 --> 00:44:33,203
And supposed to be better.

1100
00:44:33,203 --> 00:44:34,938
I don't know if you're familiar
with, like, a verb tech,

1101
00:44:34,938 --> 00:44:37,174
which is like
the traditional kind of horizontal tabs.

1102
00:44:37,174 --> 00:44:38,942
You jump up and you swipe. Yeah.

1103
00:44:39,977 --> 00:44:40,110
Yeah.

1104
00:44:40,110 --> 00:44:41,779
How is that different with this?

1105
00:44:41,779 --> 00:44:43,514
It has, like, piano keys like that.

1106
00:44:43,514 --> 00:44:46,316
Yeah. They have,
they have like, vertically hanging tab.

1107
00:44:46,316 --> 00:44:47,851
So they reset themselves. Right.

1108
00:44:47,851 --> 00:44:50,621
So when you do the normal vertex
you have to hit it.

1109
00:44:50,621 --> 00:44:54,658
And then you have to use like the stick
to, to push them to the side. And.

1110
00:44:54,658 --> 00:44:55,292
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

1111
00:44:55,292 --> 00:44:56,460
So so that's one thing.

1112
00:44:56,460 --> 00:44:59,229
Number two is that it's a lot lighter.

1113
00:44:59,229 --> 00:45:02,866
It's like well I don't know if you've ever
dealt with a vertex, but it's 50 pounds.

1114
00:45:02,866 --> 00:45:06,236
You can't, you can't
you can't carry it around really with you.

1115
00:45:06,570 --> 00:45:09,573
But with this vert trainer
is like a person who just likes to jump.

1116
00:45:09,573 --> 00:45:11,275
Yeah. I just carry in a bag.

1117
00:45:11,275 --> 00:45:13,711
It's like 7 pounds, super light.

1118
00:45:13,711 --> 00:45:15,946
And then there's a bell,
which I think is the funnest part.

1119
00:45:15,946 --> 00:45:17,314
You got it in your car?

1120
00:45:17,314 --> 00:45:18,048
I do, yeah.

1121
00:45:18,048 --> 00:45:21,051
No, I keep it in, like, I got. Yeah.

1122
00:45:21,418 --> 00:45:23,353
We can.
We didn't want to embarrass myself.

1123
00:45:23,353 --> 00:45:25,022
Yeah. Seven feet.

1124
00:45:25,022 --> 00:45:26,790
Being six three feet high.

1125
00:45:26,790 --> 00:45:29,359
Oh, look,
he touched eight feet. Congratulations.

1126
00:45:29,359 --> 00:45:32,029
I'm sure you could. Yeah,
I can imagine you get a touch.

1127
00:45:34,164 --> 00:45:34,798
Well, a lot of people.

1128
00:45:34,798 --> 00:45:38,936
A lot of people, incorrectly think that,
you know, their height dictates

1129
00:45:38,936 --> 00:45:40,771
kind of how high they can touch,
but it's really.

1130
00:45:40,771 --> 00:45:42,706
You're standing reach,
so you're standing flat footed,

1131
00:45:42,706 --> 00:45:44,875
and you reach up with your hand. Yeah.

1132
00:45:44,875 --> 00:45:45,809
That's going to be I have a.

1133
00:45:45,809 --> 00:45:48,345
Long neck and a big head
that doesn't help me jump.

1134
00:45:48,345 --> 00:45:51,115
No, no,
but it helps my height. Yeah, yeah.

1135
00:45:51,115 --> 00:45:53,717
But if you. Have buddies joke,
they're like, you're all next, Feeney.

1136
00:45:53,717 --> 00:45:56,653
Yeah, I,
I think it's a normally proportioned neck.

1137
00:45:56,653 --> 00:45:57,321
Honestly, I.

1138
00:45:57,321 --> 00:46:01,058
Don't know giraffe neck, but,
it's like someone was like.

1139
00:46:01,959 --> 00:46:04,895
You look like a shout out to my buddy
Brian Gilbert.

1140
00:46:04,895 --> 00:46:07,898
He says, Feeney,
you look like an orange on a toothpick.

1141
00:46:08,198 --> 00:46:10,033
I'll let you know.

1142
00:46:10,033 --> 00:46:11,535
Friends, you my best man in my wedding.

1143
00:46:11,535 --> 00:46:15,806
But, you know, it's like you got
a big head, you know, a long, skinny neck.

1144
00:46:16,206 --> 00:46:16,774
What do you think?

1145
00:46:16,774 --> 00:46:19,643
Listeners, subscribers, how's the neck?

1146
00:46:19,643 --> 00:46:20,878
Head ratio?

1147
00:46:20,878 --> 00:46:22,579
But I did see that, too.

1148
00:46:22,579 --> 00:46:24,014
The size of your head

1149
00:46:25,415 --> 00:46:29,019
can hinder or help your jumping.

1150
00:46:29,019 --> 00:46:29,887
True or false.

1151
00:46:29,887 --> 00:46:33,457
Oh, because Jordan LeBron they have, like,

1152
00:46:33,924 --> 00:46:36,994
considerably comparable smaller cranium.

1153
00:46:37,461 --> 00:46:39,029
It's interesting. You ever hear any.

1154
00:46:39,029 --> 00:46:40,964
I don't think I've heard that.

1155
00:46:40,964 --> 00:46:41,965
I don't think I've heard that.

1156
00:46:41,965 --> 00:46:44,568
But I guess I do see some fruity.

1157
00:46:44,568 --> 00:46:46,570
Yeah. Or

1158
00:46:46,570 --> 00:46:47,104
I don't know.

1159
00:46:47,104 --> 00:46:49,840
That's my excuse.
I've been telling myself that for years.

1160
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:50,974
Like it's not your fault.

1161
00:46:50,974 --> 00:46:52,910
You know, you just got a big dome.

1162
00:46:52,910 --> 00:46:54,578
They might have some surgery for that

1163
00:46:54,578 --> 00:46:57,080
where you can kind of somehow decrease
the size of your head.

1164
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,583
These guys, they have implants. Yeah.

1165
00:46:59,583 --> 00:47:02,119
And a cranium to doctor. Yeah, exactly.

1166
00:47:02,119 --> 00:47:03,187
I like you. Yeah.

1167
00:47:03,187 --> 00:47:06,023
And I'll give up my left finger
just to dunk. And also.

1168
00:47:06,023 --> 00:47:08,759
Yeah, that'll that'll be a little less
weight that you have to take into the air.

1169
00:47:08,759 --> 00:47:09,860
And it'll be all worth it. Yep.

1170
00:47:09,860 --> 00:47:12,095
I bang on and swimming on the who.

1171
00:47:12,095 --> 00:47:14,798
Yeah. Shaun camp ugly ugly a point that

1172
00:47:18,235 --> 00:47:19,870
All right, so we're back to the machine.

1173
00:47:19,870 --> 00:47:22,472
Yeah.
Let maybe we'll dunk. We'll pull that out.

1174
00:47:22,472 --> 00:47:23,640
But I don't embarrass myself.

1175
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:24,975
But someday, maybe not today.

1176
00:47:24,975 --> 00:47:27,678
Yeah, we'll do whatever.

1177
00:47:27,678 --> 00:47:31,782
So you you kind of selling it
or you're advertising for it or.

1178
00:47:31,782 --> 00:47:33,317
How does that work? Are you. Yeah.

1179
00:47:33,317 --> 00:47:37,521
I, it's like, it's like it's
just an affiliate kind of thing.

1180
00:47:37,521 --> 00:47:40,324
So I have a code
that will get you 10% off.

1181
00:47:40,324 --> 00:47:41,425
And then what's the code share?

1182
00:47:41,425 --> 00:47:43,894
What code key do you guys want to eat?

1183
00:47:43,894 --> 00:47:45,195
Yep. Code cheeky.

1184
00:47:45,195 --> 00:47:48,899
If you want to, you know, improve
your jump, practice jumping the website.

1185
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:51,134
It's on it's.

00:47:55,372 --> 00:47:57,541
So she has the code.
We'll get you jumping.

1189
00:47:57,541 --> 00:47:59,643
Ring the bell.
He'll give you 20 bucks. Yeah.

1190
00:48:00,711 --> 00:48:03,714
Oh that's awesome.

1191
00:48:04,214 --> 00:48:04,481
Yeah.

1192
00:48:04,481 --> 00:48:05,649
No, no that's that was great.

1193
00:48:05,649 --> 00:48:08,285
Dunking on Stephen.

1194
00:48:08,285 --> 00:48:09,353
Oh that's cool. Yeah, yeah.

1195
00:48:09,353 --> 00:48:12,522
So when you hit the whole thing,
it would all move.

1196
00:48:12,956 --> 00:48:14,491
Yeah. Big heavy ones. Yeah, yeah.

1197
00:48:14,491 --> 00:48:15,559
Yours is just.

1198
00:48:15,559 --> 00:48:19,763
But then you kind of know, like
hey I missed this one, but that one's so

1199
00:48:19,763 --> 00:48:20,063
close.

1200
00:48:20,063 --> 00:48:24,034
So then on my next jump,
do you work your way up or down based on.

1201
00:48:24,334 --> 00:48:24,801
Yeah.

1202
00:48:24,801 --> 00:48:27,804
So so I guess I guess a big part.

1203
00:48:27,871 --> 00:48:29,439
You're talking about the vert
trainer. The.

1204
00:48:29,439 --> 00:48:32,442
Yeah, a big part of the way
it's supposed to work is,

1205
00:48:33,810 --> 00:48:35,913
number one, you're tracking, right?

1206
00:48:35,913 --> 00:48:37,915
When you when you can track something,
you can improve it.

1207
00:48:37,915 --> 00:48:40,918
And you see that in a lot of things. Yep.

1208
00:48:41,118 --> 00:48:44,454
But the big thing with
this is you're trying to get like,

1209
00:48:44,454 --> 00:48:47,524
max effort jumps,
which is another great way to obviously

1210
00:48:48,458 --> 00:48:51,461
train to jump
higher is max maximal effort jumps.

1211
00:48:51,495 --> 00:48:53,430
So yeah you want to

1212
00:48:53,430 --> 00:48:56,767
you would ideally do like the graduation
from like the lowest tab.

1213
00:48:56,900 --> 00:48:58,435
You'd hit that go up go up go up.

1214
00:48:58,435 --> 00:49:02,839
And you'd want to have the bell set
at something that's just outside of your,

1215
00:49:03,507 --> 00:49:05,776
kind of Max. Yeah. Yeah. Right.

1216
00:49:05,776 --> 00:49:07,277
Some just outside of your reach.

1217
00:49:07,277 --> 00:49:10,280
And then you're going for that
however many number of times,

1218
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,115
that you can because that kind of,

1219
00:49:14,318 --> 00:49:15,152
kind of stimulus.

1220
00:49:15,152 --> 00:49:16,520
Yeah, it's going to really stimulate you.

1221
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,523
And then boom, you get the sound
of the bell if you can hit it. So.

1222
00:49:19,523 --> 00:49:22,526
So you like that
sound of the swish to if dunk.

1223
00:49:22,626 --> 00:49:22,893
Yeah.

1224
00:49:22,893 --> 00:49:24,962
The swish and ring and yeah.

1225
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:27,497
At camp we had a rock wall.
And if you could ring the bell

1226
00:49:27,497 --> 00:49:28,432
that was like yeah.

1227
00:49:28,432 --> 00:49:30,934
You know so ringing the bell

1228
00:49:30,934 --> 00:49:34,471
say like a golf coach can watch
someone do a golf swing.

1229
00:49:35,005 --> 00:49:38,909
And find like a very mechanical error
that sticks out to improve

1230
00:49:38,909 --> 00:49:40,410
or give a suggestion.

1231
00:49:40,410 --> 00:49:42,946
Can you do that for someone
jumping technique.

1232
00:49:42,946 --> 00:49:45,682
Like if I were to jump you're like
whoa whoa whoa.

1233
00:49:45,682 --> 00:49:47,517
You're leaning too much to the front.

1234
00:49:47,517 --> 00:49:51,989
You're pushing off too much with heels,
less toe like, can you give a suggestion?

1235
00:49:51,989 --> 00:49:54,291
And based on watching someone jump?

1236
00:49:55,359 --> 00:49:56,093
I definitely could.

1237
00:49:56,093 --> 00:49:59,162
I don't think I'm a great coach,
and I'm not, I'm

1238
00:49:59,162 --> 00:50:02,165
not too great at,
like, breaking things down, I feel like.

1239
00:50:02,399 --> 00:50:05,836
But like, like, I'll tend to, like,
I can see something and I'll see maybe,

1240
00:50:05,836 --> 00:50:07,637
like, three different things
and I won't know how to.

1241
00:50:07,637 --> 00:50:11,008
I might bunch them all into one
and becomes a little confusing.

1242
00:50:11,308 --> 00:50:14,611
I'm not very brief with my stuff,
but I definitely could try.

1243
00:50:15,045 --> 00:50:16,480
Because I did notice something.

1244
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,082
Swinging arms is key.
Yeah, that's actually exactly.

1245
00:50:19,082 --> 00:50:21,218
I was going to say
a lot of people under utilize.

1246
00:50:21,218 --> 00:50:22,052
Yeah.

1247
00:50:22,052 --> 00:50:22,853
Their arms.

1248
00:50:22,853 --> 00:50:25,522
I you want to be violent with your arms.

1249
00:50:25,522 --> 00:50:28,191
At least I try to be violent with my arms.

1250
00:50:28,191 --> 00:50:28,692
At the arms.

1251
00:50:28,692 --> 00:50:29,026
Yeah.

1252
00:50:29,026 --> 00:50:32,029
Like it
almost where you're, like, punching up.

1253
00:50:32,162 --> 00:50:33,430
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

1254
00:50:33,430 --> 00:50:34,097
Like how?

1255
00:50:34,097 --> 00:50:36,800
Like violent is. Can be as hard
as you could possibly do it.

1256
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:37,601
You should punch. Up.

1257
00:50:37,601 --> 00:50:40,604
Yep. I've, I've actually tried
to demonstrate to some people like,

1258
00:50:40,837 --> 00:50:43,140
I can swing my arms hard enough where I'm

1259
00:50:43,140 --> 00:50:44,541
essentially
almost like leaving the ground.

1260
00:50:44,541 --> 00:50:47,878
Or you can see, like there's a big shift
without even bending it.

1261
00:50:47,911 --> 00:50:49,312
Yeah. I'm not doing anything with my feet.

1262
00:50:49,312 --> 00:50:52,015
Your arm swing can get you off the ground
a little bit.

1263
00:50:52,015 --> 00:50:54,184
Yeah. Wow. Okay, okay.

1264
00:50:54,184 --> 00:50:56,253
And then how much

1265
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:57,921
hinge of

1266
00:50:57,921 --> 00:51:00,924
the hit and how much core strength
do you think?

1267
00:51:00,924 --> 00:51:03,293
I mean, again, watch a lot of videos.

1268
00:51:03,293 --> 00:51:07,330
You know where here would see the dude's
chiseled, chiseled.

1269
00:51:08,165 --> 00:51:10,333
You know, I

1270
00:51:10,333 --> 00:51:14,304
you have about a 18 pack
or like a six pack or whatever.

1271
00:51:14,304 --> 00:51:17,307
You know, you're just chiseled six guys.

1272
00:51:19,176 --> 00:51:19,943
But ahead.

1273
00:51:19,943 --> 00:51:20,143
All right.

1274
00:51:20,143 --> 00:51:23,480
So how much is core and abs and the hit,

1275
00:51:25,048 --> 00:51:26,950
Jump it.

1276
00:51:26,950 --> 00:51:29,953
That's a good question.

1277
00:51:31,188 --> 00:51:33,657
I, I don't feel like I have super,
actually, I, I,

1278
00:51:33,657 --> 00:51:35,258
I think I have a decently strong core.

1279
00:51:35,258 --> 00:51:38,161
I would say it's definitely important.

1280
00:51:38,161 --> 00:51:39,663
And then the hips,

1281
00:51:39,663 --> 00:51:42,566
I would say like,
as long as they're not like,

1282
00:51:42,566 --> 00:51:45,569
impinged, they're not, there's no

1283
00:51:46,536 --> 00:51:47,838
blockage of, like, motion.

1284
00:51:47,838 --> 00:51:48,305
You should be good.

1285
00:51:48,305 --> 00:51:50,674
But a lot of people will have different
techniques.

1286
00:51:50,674 --> 00:51:51,675
Like, I know I have kind of like

1287
00:51:51,675 --> 00:51:56,646
a different jumping technique than most
people might, in that, descend lower.

1288
00:51:56,646 --> 00:51:58,081
And I'm very quad focused.

1289
00:51:58,081 --> 00:52:01,284
I'm quad dominant
as opposed to hip dominant.

1290
00:52:01,284 --> 00:52:04,754
So I'll do less of a hip hinge
and I'll bend more at my knees and I'll

1291
00:52:05,088 --> 00:52:07,157
potentially get like a little deeper.

1292
00:52:07,157 --> 00:52:10,994
But I would just say play around with it
and see how important like the hips

1293
00:52:10,994 --> 00:52:12,028
or to my.

1294
00:52:12,028 --> 00:52:13,263
Jump ever was.

1295
00:52:13,263 --> 00:52:15,532
Like a run left foot only,

1296
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,603
like that's my dominant calf leg.

1297
00:52:19,870 --> 00:52:22,873
I've never really been a really good
vert jumper, you know.

1298
00:52:23,173 --> 00:52:26,176
Do you know why that would be? Your,

1299
00:52:26,243 --> 00:52:29,246
practice strength.

1300
00:52:29,312 --> 00:52:29,779
So here's.

1301
00:52:29,779 --> 00:52:32,482
Is it this too big of a head?

1302
00:52:32,482 --> 00:52:37,387
The lack of core strength,
the age, lack of athleticism?

1303
00:52:38,255 --> 00:52:40,524
No. I'm kidding, I'm not kidding.
It hurts.

1304
00:52:40,524 --> 00:52:42,792
So it's up loud.

1305
00:52:42,792 --> 00:52:44,227
But I still have all ten of my fingers.

1306
00:52:44,227 --> 00:52:47,230
You know, I got that going for me.

1307
00:52:48,131 --> 00:52:49,132
Yeah, I don't know,
I would say I would say

1308
00:52:49,132 --> 00:52:52,936
everybody has their own kind of solution
or their own method of jumping.

1309
00:52:55,438 --> 00:52:56,273
But you're just saying.

1310
00:52:56,273 --> 00:52:57,107
You're saying,

1311
00:52:57,107 --> 00:53:00,644
why can I jump better off one foot
than you can just from a standstill?

1312
00:53:00,744 --> 00:53:03,747
Shouldn't you get more power
off of two than one? Why?

1313
00:53:03,847 --> 00:53:06,283
Always when I did dunk that tennis ball.

1314
00:53:06,283 --> 00:53:07,651
Yeah, I needed a running start.

1315
00:53:07,651 --> 00:53:09,819
Angled? Yeah, from the left side.

1316
00:53:12,255 --> 00:53:14,758
You know, everything I got right hand.

1317
00:53:14,758 --> 00:53:17,260
Sure.

1318
00:53:17,260 --> 00:53:19,429
And I was like a calf jumper.

1319
00:53:19,429 --> 00:53:21,932
I'm a tall walker, too,
so I walk on my toes, you know?

1320
00:53:21,932 --> 00:53:22,832
So I got nice calves.

1321
00:53:22,832 --> 00:53:25,502
Do people think I could jump? Yeah.

1322
00:53:25,502 --> 00:53:26,136
It's embarrassing.

1323
00:53:26,136 --> 00:53:29,139
And then I can't,

1324
00:53:30,307 --> 00:53:31,408
That's a that's a good question.

1325
00:53:31,408 --> 00:53:31,841
I think.

1326
00:53:31,841 --> 00:53:34,844
I think it definitely does kind of
come down to a little bit of history.

1327
00:53:36,213 --> 00:53:37,581
And then I think everybody has like

1328
00:53:37,581 --> 00:53:40,584
different ideas, like the physiology

1329
00:53:40,717 --> 00:53:43,520
that might make one, style

1330
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,523
of jumping more attractive than the other.

1331
00:53:47,624 --> 00:53:49,659
And yeah, it's just like,
I think it's just like the,

1332
00:53:49,659 --> 00:53:53,163
the structure of,
like, your tendons as well can,

1333
00:53:53,830 --> 00:53:56,833
can, benefit one style of jumping
better than the other.

1334
00:53:57,367 --> 00:53:59,035
And then, yes, strength may play a part.

1335
00:53:59,035 --> 00:54:00,370
Part as well.

1336
00:54:00,370 --> 00:54:02,372
I've been swimming laps a sec.

1337
00:54:02,372 --> 00:54:05,609
Shout out to the JC,
and I've been, working out a little more.

1338
00:54:05,609 --> 00:54:07,544
So I'm going to be all about strength.

1339
00:54:07,544 --> 00:54:09,012
I'm going to start implementing the core.

1340
00:54:09,012 --> 00:54:12,015
I'm going to try to do my leg
press different now.

1341
00:54:12,182 --> 00:54:14,217
Yeah,
the back was definitely around it. Yeah.

1342
00:54:14,217 --> 00:54:16,820
And a butt was coming off the seat
a little bit.

1343
00:54:16,820 --> 00:54:18,922
Yeah. Don't want it hurt myself.

1344
00:54:20,423 --> 00:54:20,857
And I

1345
00:54:20,857 --> 00:54:24,995
know you went to Kinard or the Garner did
I want to shout out Connor.

1346
00:54:25,095 --> 00:54:28,098
Yeah. And

1347
00:54:28,898 --> 00:54:29,432
Oh yeah.

1348
00:54:29,432 --> 00:54:31,668
Counter you know Riley Fox.

1349
00:54:31,668 --> 00:54:31,935
Yeah.

1350
00:54:31,935 --> 00:54:35,171
Yeah I running
score 2000 points Riley Fox.

1351
00:54:35,171 --> 00:54:36,339
Awesome.

1352
00:54:36,339 --> 00:54:37,741
And I know you want to rep Connor.

1353
00:54:37,741 --> 00:54:40,176
Awesome. Yeah, he's a fox.
Thanks for coming as well. You.

1354
00:54:40,176 --> 00:54:43,179
Thank you so much. JC.

1355
00:54:43,847 --> 00:54:44,547
This is cool.

1356
00:54:44,547 --> 00:54:47,050
JC look at the back. Friends of Feeney.
Yeah.

1357
00:54:47,050 --> 00:54:49,119
Maybe someday catch a dunk in this for me.

1358
00:54:49,119 --> 00:54:51,821
Oh, also, I'll never be able to. Yeah.

1359
00:54:51,821 --> 00:54:53,356
No we're going to
we're going to get you there.

1360
00:54:53,356 --> 00:54:55,725
So that's for you. Thank you so much.

1361
00:54:55,725 --> 00:55:00,630
Speaking of Connor Walker Co,
I've been a teacher for 21 years.

1362
00:55:00,630 --> 00:55:02,465
Do you have a favorite teacher?

1363
00:55:02,465 --> 00:55:05,468
Whoa.

1364
00:55:08,238 --> 00:55:10,340
I guess the one that comes to mind.

1365
00:55:10,340 --> 00:55:12,475
She may still be at Conard.

1366
00:55:12,475 --> 00:55:14,911
Miss Zango, I think she's now Miss Bryant.

1367
00:55:14,911 --> 00:55:16,146
Miss Mrs. Brian.

1368
00:55:17,147 --> 00:55:18,315
But she was she was definitely fun.

1369
00:55:18,315 --> 00:55:20,850
She put up with,
my shenanigans to an extent.

1370
00:55:20,850 --> 00:55:24,120
And it was
just, was a fun, fun English class.

1371
00:55:24,854 --> 00:55:25,588
This is Brian.

1372
00:55:25,588 --> 00:55:28,591
I think I've heard
because my daughters are there now.

1373
00:55:29,359 --> 00:55:30,627
Cool. Favorite teacher. Mrs.

1374
00:55:30,627 --> 00:55:33,630
Brown will hopefully share this with her
if she's still around the corner.

1375
00:55:33,630 --> 00:55:34,831
I got the Kinard gear.

1376
00:55:34,831 --> 00:55:37,834
You got the JC gear? Yeah.

1377
00:55:38,101 --> 00:55:40,103
Oh, I even been so busy talking.

1378
00:55:40,103 --> 00:55:41,538
We haven't even shout it out. Sponsors.

1379
00:55:41,538 --> 00:55:44,374
So we're here at Maximum Beverage.

1380
00:55:44,374 --> 00:55:44,808

00:56:05,228 --> 00:56:07,564
They were previously West Hartford lock.

1389
00:56:07,564 --> 00:56:08,732
They're big time now.

1390
00:56:08,732 --> 00:56:11,701
They're north east door in security.

1391
00:56:11,701 --> 00:56:12,602
Well, we just had their

1392
00:56:13,703 --> 00:56:16,706
20 2025 Invitational at Tumble Brook.

1393
00:56:19,109 --> 00:56:21,811
They for three years in a row,
have given two friends

1394
00:56:21,811 --> 00:56:25,415
with Feeney as the proceeds from the
the 5050.

1395
00:56:25,682 --> 00:56:28,685
I want to thank northeast door
and security.

1396
00:56:29,285 --> 00:56:32,722
I'm going to go back and cut up the videos
of all the times I say three

1397
00:56:32,722 --> 00:56:33,423
and then three.

1398
00:56:33,423 --> 00:56:35,792
Key sponsored by West Hartford Lock.

1399
00:56:35,792 --> 00:56:39,863
But today the three keys are going
to be sponsored by Northeast Security.

1400
00:56:40,130 --> 00:56:42,899
Yeah. What are three keys?

1401
00:56:42,899 --> 00:56:45,902
Most important,
three keys to be able to jump.

1402
00:56:46,703 --> 00:56:48,238
Yeah,

1403
00:56:48,238 --> 00:56:51,241
I have
I won't repeat myself too much, but,

1404
00:56:51,241 --> 00:56:53,343
I would I would get stronger.

1405
00:56:53,343 --> 00:56:53,676
Stronger.

1406
00:56:53,676 --> 00:56:56,679
You have to get stronger and,

1407
00:56:57,614 --> 00:56:59,282
be lean more or less or stay.

1408
00:56:59,282 --> 00:57:01,951
Stay more or less lean.

1409
00:57:01,951 --> 00:57:04,821
Number two.

1410
00:57:04,821 --> 00:57:08,925
I would, I would play with your jump technique, try a bunch of different things,

1411
00:57:10,260 --> 00:57:11,661
and just get jump reps in.

1412
00:57:11,661 --> 00:57:15,331
And then number three, maybe
a little cliche, but just don't stop.

1413
00:57:15,331 --> 00:57:19,769
Just keep on going and may take years,
but enjoy the enjoy the journey.

1414
00:57:19,769 --> 00:57:20,503
Cheers.

1415
00:57:20,503 --> 00:57:23,306
Don't stop when they take 46 years. Yeah.

1416
00:57:23,306 --> 00:57:25,608
Listen, we're going to come back
and review this

1417
00:57:25,608 --> 00:57:27,544
a year from now, maybe six months.

1418
00:57:27,544 --> 00:57:29,779
I'm going to at least be touching the rim.
Yeah.

1419
00:57:29,779 --> 00:57:31,414
You ever hear knees over toes?

1420
00:57:31,414 --> 00:57:34,150
Yep, yep. And Patrick. You like that guy?

1421
00:57:34,150 --> 00:57:35,618
Do you like his stuff?

1422
00:57:35,618 --> 00:57:37,120
It's it's it's interesting.

1423
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,055
I know it's definitely polarizing.

1424
00:57:39,055 --> 00:57:42,091
I don't really subscribe to it
much, but, I know,

1425
00:57:42,091 --> 00:57:42,992
I know, he's helped a lot of people.

1426
00:57:42,992 --> 00:57:45,228
I actually met him in 2019.

1427
00:57:45,228 --> 00:57:47,831
Really? But, Yeah,
he had a dunking thing. Or jumping.

1428
00:57:47,831 --> 00:57:50,700
Yeah. He was at his at the 2019 dunk camp.

1429
00:57:50,700 --> 00:57:52,869
Yeah. He went from never dunking.

1430
00:57:52,869 --> 00:57:54,137
He didn't dunk till he was 40.

1431
00:57:54,137 --> 00:57:57,006
Yeah. Yeah.
He had multiple knee surgeries. Yep.

1432
00:57:57,006 --> 00:57:58,341
So I've been listening to that guy too.

1433
00:57:58,341 --> 00:57:59,442
Yeah I think he's great.

1434
00:57:59,442 --> 00:58:02,479
The deep squat and the deep lunge. Yeah.

1435
00:58:03,179 --> 00:58:03,446
You don't.

1436
00:58:03,446 --> 00:58:06,316
He's over toes lunge and those lunge.

1437
00:58:06,316 --> 00:58:07,350
What about the weight.

1438
00:58:07,350 --> 00:58:08,852
And the tibia flexes

1439
00:58:08,852 --> 00:58:09,452
when you put like

1440
00:58:09,452 --> 00:58:12,722
a kettlebell on your foot, on your toes
and kind of curl up your feet.

1441
00:58:12,722 --> 00:58:15,558
Oh, okay. Okay.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like that one.

1442
00:58:16,659 --> 00:58:17,060
It's okay.

1443
00:58:17,060 --> 00:58:18,695
It hurts me. I mean, it doesn't it?

1444
00:58:18,695 --> 00:58:21,698
It's stressful, but yeah,
I mean, I've, I've, I've done it before.

1445
00:58:22,832 --> 00:58:25,835
It's not something I do frequently though.

1446
00:58:26,135 --> 00:58:28,404
Wow. So we're what she jumps with.

1447
00:58:28,404 --> 00:58:31,241
She five nine dunking extraordinaire.

1448
00:58:31,241 --> 00:58:31,875
You have it.

1449
00:58:31,875 --> 00:58:32,876
ESPN video.

1450
00:58:32,876 --> 00:58:34,677
Your first dunk was at 17.

1451
00:58:34,677 --> 00:58:37,680
Yep. You could jump 42in.

1452
00:58:37,981 --> 00:58:40,950
You did track and field at eastern.

1453
00:58:40,950 --> 00:58:43,753
We haven't even gotten into that long
jump.

1454
00:58:43,753 --> 00:58:46,489
Triple jump and the high jump.

1455
00:58:46,489 --> 00:58:47,790
Like what's your records.

1456
00:58:47,790 --> 00:58:50,593
What are your peers on those.

1457
00:58:50,593 --> 00:58:52,762
I'm going to start by saying
I'm not impressed with them

1458
00:58:52,762 --> 00:58:55,298
I wish I had done better. It's

1459
00:58:55,298 --> 00:58:57,934
but high jump is six two

1460
00:58:57,934 --> 00:59:02,071
and I think three quarters, I was
I want to be a 66 at least jumper.

1461
00:59:02,906 --> 00:59:05,308
Triple jump was 44ft, ten inches.

1462
00:59:06,476 --> 00:59:08,611
The hardest event I think I've ever done.

1463
00:59:08,611 --> 00:59:11,581
And then long jump 23ft, six inches,

1464
00:59:11,714 --> 00:59:14,717
which I hit my senior year, which was was

1465
00:59:15,852 --> 00:59:18,187
good way to end,

1466
00:59:18,187 --> 00:59:19,188
with the nice PR.

1467
00:59:19,188 --> 00:59:20,790
So what's the triple jump like?

1468
00:59:20,790 --> 00:59:22,825
Where who's idea?

1469
00:59:22,825 --> 00:59:26,663
I mean, obviously the Greek Olympic thing,
but why do you think the

1470
00:59:26,663 --> 00:59:27,997
triple jump is important?

1471
00:59:27,997 --> 00:59:30,199
Why three times? Why not two?

1472
00:59:30,199 --> 00:59:33,202
Why not five? Yeah. Why three?

1473
00:59:33,469 --> 00:59:34,404
And it's a good question.

1474
00:59:34,404 --> 00:59:36,272
You don't hit the dirt
until like obviously that.

1475
00:59:36,272 --> 00:59:39,275
Yeah. The last time but.

1476
00:59:39,442 --> 00:59:41,744
You know
are there records for that first jump.

1477
00:59:41,744 --> 00:59:43,646
Do they ever measure that first jump.

1478
00:59:43,646 --> 00:59:46,549
And is there a record for like
who holds the record for the second jump.

1479
00:59:46,549 --> 00:59:47,884
Or is it just total.

1480
00:59:47,884 --> 00:59:50,820
It's just total I think people have done
like analyzes on like.

1481
00:59:50,820 --> 00:59:52,155
Look into it in depth that.

1482
00:59:52,155 --> 00:59:54,090
Sure. Yeah. Yeah. For data. Collection.

1483
00:59:54,090 --> 00:59:55,291
Yeah. Wow.

1484
00:59:55,291 --> 00:59:58,061
But nothing official is of course
it's crazy.

1485
00:59:58,061 --> 00:59:59,562
It's it's very intense.

1486
00:59:59,562 --> 01:00:01,731
It's challenging.
Yeah. You never want to jump.

1487
01:00:01,731 --> 01:00:05,201
Although actually
funny story of Stephen was here.

1488
01:00:05,335 --> 01:00:07,537
I did try pole vault.
I think my senior year.

1489
01:00:09,572 --> 01:00:10,473
I don't know why I was

1490
01:00:10,473 --> 01:00:13,476
trying it,
but Stephen also did pole vault.

1491
01:00:14,577 --> 01:00:16,245
Yeah, at Conrad.

1492
01:00:16,245 --> 01:00:19,248
And, I think I was having a bad day.

1493
01:00:19,782 --> 01:00:21,584
And I'm not a violent person,

1494
01:00:21,584 --> 01:00:25,555
but, Stephen, that day was really,
really getting on my nerves.

1495
01:00:26,556 --> 01:00:29,659
And I think I went for,
like, a practice jump and I messed it

1496
01:00:29,659 --> 01:00:33,463
up, and I came back into the line,
and I feel like he was kind of berating me

1497
01:00:33,463 --> 01:00:35,264
or doing something.

1498
01:00:35,264 --> 01:00:38,267
So I actually punched him in the stomach
pretty hard.

1499
01:00:39,569 --> 01:00:41,971
So that's that's a story.

1500
01:00:41,971 --> 01:00:43,740
But I. Think I've been good friends.

1501
01:00:43,740 --> 01:00:44,040
I think.

1502
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,242
I think he deserved it. Good.

1503
01:00:46,242 --> 01:00:48,444
But I usually.

1504
01:00:48,444 --> 01:00:49,178
I just sort of go.

1505
01:00:49,178 --> 01:00:50,279
Don't hit people anymore.

1506
01:00:50,279 --> 01:00:53,282
Never said anything again. Yeah.

1507
01:00:53,316 --> 01:00:54,784
We don't condone this. No.

1508
01:00:54,784 --> 01:00:56,886
Absolutely not. Podcast. No. However

1509
01:00:57,920 --> 01:00:59,622
hilarious,

1510
01:00:59,622 --> 01:01:01,991
high school stuff. Yeah, yeah.

1511
01:01:01,991 --> 01:01:04,694
Wow. Cool.

1512
01:01:04,694 --> 01:01:06,663
I wouldn't have done it
if he wasn't my friend.

1513
01:01:06,663 --> 01:01:08,364
I wouldn't punched him. So true.

1514
01:01:08,364 --> 01:01:10,733
Yeah, it's like a buddy punch.
Yeah. Povo things.

1515
01:01:10,733 --> 01:01:13,503
Yeah. You got to go into what,
a mindset like. Yeah.

1516
01:01:13,503 --> 01:01:15,838
They're very challenging.
How about the guy?

1517
01:01:15,838 --> 01:01:19,008
Do you know the story of the,
the high jump?

1518
01:01:20,677 --> 01:01:24,047
I forgot that
the backward move was created by a guy.

1519
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,382
Oh, you know that guy's name?

1520
01:01:26,382 --> 01:01:28,051
Everyone used to jump it.

1521
01:01:28,051 --> 01:01:28,918
Regular jump.

1522
01:01:28,918 --> 01:01:29,285
Yeah.

1523
01:01:29,285 --> 01:01:30,887
And this guy, he like.

1524
01:01:30,887 --> 01:01:33,022
Oh, let me try this way.

1525
01:01:33,022 --> 01:01:36,025
And it was known, like,
almost like it was almost considered

1526
01:01:36,025 --> 01:01:38,027
cheating for a little bit. Yeah.

1527
01:01:38,027 --> 01:01:43,800
Because he created this new technique to
to to complete this task at a better rate.

1528
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:44,767
Yeah. Yeah.

1529
01:01:44,767 --> 01:01:46,869
I think it's Dick Fosbury. Yes.

1530
01:01:46,869 --> 01:01:48,371
The Fosbury method. Yeah, yeah.

1531
01:01:48,371 --> 01:01:50,273
Fosbury flop the. Falls very flat.

1532
01:01:50,273 --> 01:01:51,541
Yeah. There you go G. Yes.

1533
01:01:51,541 --> 01:01:53,309
Yeah. The floors very flat.

1534
01:01:53,309 --> 01:01:56,412
So they said when Steph Curry started
shooting three pointers

1535
01:01:56,412 --> 01:01:58,948
farther and farther away
that was his flaws.

1536
01:01:58,948 --> 01:02:02,151
Very flat because he brought something
new to the game.

1537
01:02:02,151 --> 01:02:05,555
Yeah that for years never was there.

1538
01:02:05,555 --> 01:02:08,991
The very flat. Yep. My man he got it

1539
01:02:10,159 --> 01:02:10,593
earlier.

1540
01:02:10,593 --> 01:02:12,995
You want to share about

1541
01:02:12,995 --> 01:02:15,998
jumping your websites?

1542
01:02:17,967 --> 01:02:21,270
I think we missed anything
where some videos that we want to share.

1543
01:02:21,270 --> 01:02:24,240
Do you have a favorite
that I haven't shared?

1544
01:02:24,841 --> 01:02:25,875
Can I see the ones I sent you?

1545
01:02:25,875 --> 01:02:28,311
Yeah, please.

1546
01:02:28,311 --> 01:02:31,314
We'll send a couple videos,
and then we're going to wrap it up.

1547
01:02:32,582 --> 01:02:33,783
Oh. Oh, okay.

1548
01:02:33,783 --> 01:02:35,852
Maybe,

1549
01:02:35,852 --> 01:02:40,022
I, I like editing stuff,
so I have, like, this one and this one,

1550
01:02:40,022 --> 01:02:43,659
which I kind of like in the style of,
like, the NBA two K video game.

1551
01:02:45,561 --> 01:02:47,363
What is it here?

1552
01:02:47,363 --> 01:02:48,097
Yeah. It's like this one.

1553
01:02:48,097 --> 01:02:51,067
Yeah. That one. We'll show these two.
Yeah.

1554
01:02:51,067 --> 01:02:54,070
I want to show this video here
is that walk you park.

1555
01:02:54,570 --> 01:02:56,606
Yeah, yeah.
How do you show. Starting to shoot beta.

1556
01:02:56,606 --> 01:02:59,275
No I looked at
this. Yeah. When they, there.

1557
01:03:00,443 --> 01:03:01,144
So I just

1558
01:03:01,144 --> 01:03:04,580
got the idea to kind of blend, blend,
real life with.

1559
01:03:04,580 --> 01:03:06,949
With what,
like a video game graphic would be like.

1560
01:03:06,949 --> 01:03:07,884
And that was, that is true.

1561
01:03:07,884 --> 01:03:10,319
And want to release it at the right point
on the video game? Yeah.

1562
01:03:10,319 --> 01:03:11,954
They still do it
like that. The shoe like that.

1563
01:03:11,954 --> 01:03:14,757
I'm not sure.
I haven't played video games in a while.

1564
01:03:14,757 --> 01:03:17,760
How did you do that
graphic? Do you, Canva?

1565
01:03:18,327 --> 01:03:20,263
I use, I use DaVinci resolve.

1566
01:03:20,263 --> 01:03:22,665
Just a video editor, you know,

1567
01:03:22,665 --> 01:03:23,766
DaVinci resolve fusion.

1568
01:03:23,766 --> 01:03:25,568
Pay for it.

1569
01:03:25,568 --> 01:03:26,469
It's free.

1570
01:03:26,469 --> 01:03:29,772
I could have done this all free,
but I do have the full version as well.

1571
01:03:30,339 --> 01:03:31,707
All right, let's try this one now.

1572
01:03:31,707 --> 01:03:34,010
I'll follow you later, but I promise you.

1573
01:03:34,010 --> 01:03:36,546
What's on the star on you alarm. Oh, wait.
Who's that? That's not you.

1574
01:03:36,546 --> 01:03:37,013
Is that you?

1575
01:03:37,013 --> 01:03:40,249
Yeah, yeah, that's way
just a while ago with no, no facial hair.

1576
01:03:40,616 --> 01:03:43,820
So this is like the
the vertical or whatever.

1577
01:03:43,820 --> 01:03:45,688
It only makes sense.

1578
01:03:46,622 --> 01:03:49,625
And then you're calculating your vertical
as you go up.

1579
01:03:49,892 --> 01:03:51,294
So I don't know, I thought that was
I thought that was cool.

1580
01:03:51,294 --> 01:03:53,696
I didn't really see anybody.
Nine inches vert.

1581
01:03:53,696 --> 01:03:54,130
That was just.

1582
01:03:54,130 --> 01:03:56,365
NBA two inspired. Rim is not.

1583
01:03:56,365 --> 01:03:56,999
That's funny.

1584
01:03:56,999 --> 01:04:00,002
Yeah. We'll get those up there.

1585
01:04:00,102 --> 01:04:00,937
That's amazing. Yeah.

1586
01:04:00,937 --> 01:04:03,673
So you got the content

1587
01:04:03,673 --> 01:04:05,141
content creator.

1588
01:04:05,141 --> 01:04:06,843
Yeah. Ideas.

1589
01:04:06,843 --> 01:04:09,545
What if we pop those right there. Boom

1590
01:04:09,545 --> 01:04:11,581
a lot of hoop y a lot of jumping.

1591
01:04:11,581 --> 01:04:14,717
You know Nate Robinson it's great.

1592
01:04:14,717 --> 01:04:17,753
I wish I could talk to you I, I would,
I would talk to you all day about this.

1593
01:04:17,753 --> 01:04:18,588
I'm so intrigued.

1594
01:04:18,588 --> 01:04:23,025
Obviously, again, I mentioned it,
something I've always wanted to do.

1595
01:04:23,626 --> 01:04:24,994
I envy you.

1596
01:04:24,994 --> 01:04:26,195
You're going to teach me, though?

1597
01:04:26,195 --> 01:04:28,831
Yeah. We can work on this. Deep breathing.

1598
01:04:28,831 --> 01:04:31,701
Oh, wow. Like a meditation? Yeah.

1599
01:04:32,902 --> 01:04:33,803
I would say it's pretty.

1600
01:04:33,803 --> 01:04:35,238
I would say it's.

1601
01:04:35,238 --> 01:04:36,205
You can. You can do without it.

1602
01:04:36,205 --> 01:04:37,440
But I think they can take you to the next

1603
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:40,443
level
if you if you, if you do incorporate it.

1604
01:04:41,477 --> 01:04:42,511
All right.

1605
01:04:42,511 --> 01:04:43,112
And then.

1606
01:04:43,112 --> 01:04:46,082
Oh, I usually ask for people for dinner,

1607
01:04:46,315 --> 01:04:49,886
but I think I notice that you said
you had Floyd.

1608
01:04:51,220 --> 01:04:53,723
Floyd Mayweather,

1609
01:04:53,723 --> 01:04:56,726
Carl Lewis and The Undertaker.

1610
01:04:56,859 --> 01:04:58,294
But you don't remember
saying I don't remember.

1611
01:04:58,294 --> 01:05:00,963
That was on an eastern your athlete page.

1612
01:05:00,963 --> 01:05:02,865
Yeah, yeah.

1613
01:05:02,865 --> 01:05:05,001
So are you wrestling guy?

1614
01:05:05,001 --> 01:05:07,603
I am not
I really don't know why I would say that.

1615
01:05:07,603 --> 01:05:10,606
Well, I'll have to pull that.

1616
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:14,443
Do you have any upcoming events?

1617
01:05:16,145 --> 01:05:16,612
Nope.

1618
01:05:16,612 --> 01:05:18,514
I'll be a walk
it park at some at some point.

1619
01:05:18,514 --> 01:05:20,750
I'm just jumping around though.

01:05:20,750 --> 01:05:22,752
Maybe, maybe at potentially at the biggie.

1621
01:05:24,420 --> 01:05:25,288
Yeah.

1622
01:05:25,288 --> 01:05:26,222
