15
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: and there's all Right the sparres. Some explanation. So I

16
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: was doing my Stevie from Malcolm in the Middle of Impression,

17
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: which one is Stevie. He was the kid in the

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: wheelchair who was like breathed like that, who talked like

19
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: that because he he had serious asthma. Yeah, remember him

20
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: was he just like a classmate. Yeah, he was like

21
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: his best friend. I believe I remember I like I

22
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: like that show. Well that's not what I was doing. Really. No,

23
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: we're slightly out of breath because we just had a

24
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: fire alarm. Yeah, we had to walk down four stairs,

25
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: four flights of stairs, and not like this, the one,

26
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: the kind of flight where it's like down, landing down again,

27
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: two flights. Yeah, so we walked down eight flights of

28
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: stairs and then walked back eight more. Right when we

29
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: got down, stopped and immediately turned around to go back in.

30
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: It was ridiculous. It was the kind of thing that

31
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: makes you say, maybe I won'ly next time it was

32
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: a fire alarm. I was prepared to hide in the

33
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: studio and keep working. Yeah, we thought about it, but

34
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: there's a fire marshal who works here, so you can't

35
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: can't run a foul him. Man, he got on that

36
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: orange vest quick changes everything. So I ever heard of

37
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: those guys that sneak into places with those vests? Yes,

38
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: I have, I don't is there a name for what

39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: I think these? I'm sure more than one person has

40
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: done this, But there's these two guys in particular who

41
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: uh kind of got I don't know about famous, but

42
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: made a name for themselves for putting on the orange

43
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: vests and saying basically like, if you wear one of these,

44
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: you can get in anywhere you want them. If you

45
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: have orange vest on, you look like you're supposed to

46
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: be there. Well, yeah, you gotta have that steely sense

47
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: of nerve and alwakie talkie is probably a good thing

48
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: to have to But they can go anywhere because the

49
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: orange vest guy. That means that's something's wrong in the

50
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: orange vest guy has to take care of it. Like

51
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: they showed pictures in the in front of a I

52
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: can't remember what show it was, but a big, big

53
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: concert where they were in that buffer area between the

54
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:10,519

97
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: Nice man, do you feel indulged? Very much? Good? All right,

98
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: let's talk about knife throwing. So I'm a little psyched

99
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: about this because knife throwing taps into my ninja training

100
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: that I did under Tommy Roper, as I'm sure I've

101
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: mentioned before, uh reading about this researching it, I never

102
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: threw knives. We never made it that far in Maybe

103
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: now I'll be I'll be hang gliding throwing knives at

104
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,679
Speaker 1: the same time, going to get into both at once.

105
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: But I did a little throwing star stuff. Throwing star

106
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 1: is like the dummies, uh, knife throwing because that always sticks, right, Yeah,

107
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: I mean, depending on how many spikes you got coming

108
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: off of it, and um, and and whether the tree

109
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: is actually like a metal pole or not, you're probably

110
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: gonna stick a throwing star. Throwing a knife is an

111
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: entirely different endeavor, and it's something that anybody can do that.

112
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: Nicholas Jerbis were Gurbs never met him yet. Um. He

113
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: points out this is actually kind of like a low

114
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: hanging hobby that you could. You can get a set

115
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: of knives for ten fifteen bucks apiece. You probably one

116
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: about five is well will explain why, um, maybe six.

117
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: And then you just practice, give yourself a good block

118
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: of wood and practice and anybody can do this. It's

119
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: not like you're born to throw knives. You practice and

120
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: if you like it, you keep going. You just get

121
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: better and better at it, and you can impress your

122
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: friends and neighbors. Yes, and here's the point in the

123
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: show where we issue our c o A. Kids, if

124
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: you're out there, do not go get a steake knife

125
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: from your drawer and start throwing it at your dog.

126
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: That is not a throwing knife. And never throw anything

127
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: at your dog, kids. I will come find you. Yeah,

128
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 1: never throw anything at anybody that's sharp. But Um throwing

129
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: knives are built to throw. They're weighted and balanced to throw.

130
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: They're not like regular old knives. And we'll get into

131
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: all that. But just if you really want to try

132
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: throwing knives, go ask mom and dad or Tommy Roper

133
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: and get ready, get ready for a no and then

134
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: and then play them this podcast where it is an

135
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: actual um circus art. And please, for the love of God,

136
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: tell me this is the last one. I don't think

137
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: of the circus arts. No, it's not. What else is, sir?

138

00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: tell us we've got stuff wrong a lot. So we're

155
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: gonna take this seriously because we want you ten year

156
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: olds out there who want to get your parents to

157
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: let you do this, to to see that you're taking

158
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: this seriously by listening to this podcast. First. Okay, that's right.

159
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: So what we're talking about specifically is known as, uh

160
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: somewhat ironically as an impalement act um, which is really

161
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: weird thing to call it. It's well, it's um, yeah,

162
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: it really is. I think it's a little tongue in cheek,

163
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: you think, because the point is tyn to not write.

164
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: The point is to not impale somebody with this kind

165
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: of thing, right, And and impalement acts are an umbrella

166
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: term that cover not just knife throwing, but bull whip cracking, oh, shoot,

167
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: sharp shooting, archery, William tell kind of thing. All of

168
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: those fall under the the umbrella term of impalement X.

169
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: Jerry's undressing over there to our left. She got very

170
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: hot in the fire drop Um. All right, so this

171
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: goes back if we can get back in the way

172
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: back machine, all the way back to the late nineteenth century,

173
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: we gotta go back here further than that. Are you

174
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: gonna go like to ancient times? No, No, We'll still

175
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: will just go with the nineteenth century, because I'm sure

176
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: Chinese people in ancient times through stuff that's stuck in walls. Well,

177
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: I looked at I looked up the oldest knife and

178
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: every apparently they did. Apparently they found the oldest knife

179
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: five thousand years ago. Oh, the oldest knife knife. So

180
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: we've been using knives longer than there have been modern humans. Yeah,

181
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: for sure. And then we at some point, probably about

182
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: four hundred and ninety nine thousand years ago we started

183
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: throwing knives. It's stabbing is okay, but throwing a knife

184
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: is when you really can come to appreciate what a

185
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: knife does. Okay. Man, there was nothing better in it,

186
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: like an eighties movie than when like James Bond through

187
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: a knife and I got a guy or American ninja.

188
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: That's what I was trained on. Yeah. Um, alright, so

189
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: wild uh wild West shows. Buffalo Bill and his Wild

190
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: West Shows travel throughout the United States, throughout Europe. Um,

191
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: knife throwing became a big spectacle at things like this,

192
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: as well as obviously sharp shooting and probably archery. They

193
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: probably did all the impalement arts. So they definitely did

194
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: um and they really brought it to the world. Um,

195
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: to the to the point where you can just basically

196
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: say that's where it started, was Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Yeah.

197
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: And this is one of those things where, through a

198
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: modern lens, it is incredibly misogynistic to think about the

199
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: fact that you say, hey, let me take a scantily

200
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: clad woman, a target girl. Yeah that's what they call him,

201
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: a target girl, and throw knives at her. Yeah, just

202
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: stand there still, Yeah, their knives near her. It's always

203
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: a lady. She's always got on like a bikini or something.

204
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: She's just like almost like while West steampunk renaissance fair thing, right,

205
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: you know, just to cover all of the all of

206
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: the geek boys dreams and desires. Right, But when you

207
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: look at it through the modern lens, it's like, man,

208
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: that that is totally misogynistic to Uh, that is the act. Um,

209
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: it's got a burlesque thing going on. Yeah, sure, I

210
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: mean you can see what they're trying to do is

211
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: to delate to the young boys in the audience. They're

212
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: trying to sell tickets, and it probably wouldn't have sold

213
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,119
Speaker 1: as many tickets that they just had build a farmhand

214
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: with a balloon in his mouth getting popped, you know.

215
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's still pretty cool. You're still seeing the

216
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: same thing. But yeah, it's just basically tradition and customed

217
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: to have a scantily clad woman as your target girl. Again,

218
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: that's what they call him, is the target girl, and

219
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: that is the one of the two people involved in

220
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: this impalement act. That's right. Um, we mentioned the balloon

221
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: in the mouth. That was one of the big tricks. Uh.

222
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: There was a German husband and wife named the Gibsons

223
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: who introduced the very famous Wheel of Death at the

224
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: Ringling Brothers show at in Madison Square Garden. Have you

225
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: seen this? Yeah? Okay, so I had seen stuff like

226
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: with knife throwing before, and I always thought Flee Circus

227
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: was another one. Do you remember our Flee Circus episode

228
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: where it turns out that Flee Circus has actually involved

229
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: real Flea's Yeah, that was the best of the circus arts,

230
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: and everybody thought it was like, no, it's magnets are

231
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: just your imagination power of suggestion, and that's just not

232
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: the case. The same thing applies to knife throwing impalement acts,

233
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: Like I always thought, did you really? Yeah? I thought

234
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: I think there was like a Happy Days or something

235
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: like that where somebody gets volunteered. There's definitely an I

236
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: Love Lucy with a Knife act where she's the target girl.

237
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: But there's some show where maybe Laverne and surely not

238
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: I think about it anyway, the guys throwing them and

239
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: like the knives are coming out of the backboard around up.

240
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: So it's all an illusion, right, That is not true?

241
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: In knife acts, you're if you're the target girl, a

242
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: dude is throwing twelve inch long extremely sharp, pointy knives

243
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: right at your head and it's trying to get as

244
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: close as possible to you without hitting you. Correct And

245
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: again it's not just that's just the profile where they're

246
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: throwing knives around you and making like a chalk outline

247
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: of your of your body. That's the profile. But there's

248
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: other ones like holding a cigarette in your mouth and

249
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: knocking the ash off with a knife, or you're holding

250
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: a flower in your mouth and they slowly like cut

251
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: the stem off piece by piece. There's some some pretty

252
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: interesting things that people have done with knife acts. Yeah, sometimes,

253
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: and this is the riskiest of all moves. Risky or

254
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: even more so than the wheel of death is when

255
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: they do the when they covered the target over with paper, Yeah,

256
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: the veiled wheel of death, so you can't even see

257
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: that spinning who is behind there? You just have to

258
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: have it timed completely perfectly right. But if you take

259
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: a step back and think about this, there is nothing

260
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: about that act that should allow you to say, oh,

261
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: if I throw like this, I will I will miss

262
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: the person because they're spinning, so you have to know

263
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: where their body is at every second. But you've taken

264
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: away how you know that, which is your vision because

265
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: they're behind a big sheet of paper that you're throwing

266
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: knives through. And there's this guy who will talk about

267
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: a little further. His name is the Great throw Denie Love.

268
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: This guy. Uh, he he has done something. It's probably

269
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: the most dangerous, most impressive knife throwing act anyone's ever done.

270
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: He did the veiled wheel of death with two target

271
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: girls on it. So he has two girls strapped to

272
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: a board spinning behind a big piece of paper that

273
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: he can't see them through, and he's throwing knives at them. Yes,

274
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: very fast. The guy through room on an average of

275
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: a knife every point five nine seconds um. And he

276
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: didn't hit either one of them. Amazing, it is amazing.

277
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: It's so amazing. I think we just take a break

278
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: and re regroup. We're back. We just watched uh one

279
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: hour of great thirteen even videos. Uh. He apparently caught

280
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: on like in its fifties. Yeah, it's like, hey, I'm

281
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: pretty good at this. Back in just I guess somebody

282
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: was like, maybe have you tried throwing knives? And he

283
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: said no, I haven't, And they were like, well, try

284
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: throwing knives and he said, well, fine, I will. A

285
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks later, he tried throwing and he said,

286
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: I really like this. Um. He said it felt natural

287
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: and right. So he started throwing knives and entered competitions

288
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: and um started winning. I think he became world champion

289
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: with him like two years he beat the other four people. Uh.

290
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: And then he said, you know what, this is fun

291
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: and all like these competitions, but I think I want

292
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: to try and act like an old throwback and palement act.

293
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: So we started one when basically but his wife Barbara

294
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: Target girl, get up target Girl, one of them. Yeah,

295
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: I think she may have been the original one. Uh.

296
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: Taught her to smoke cigarettes so he could knock the

297
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: ash off of the end of them. And there you go.

298
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: Impalement act achieved. But not only that, Chuck like the

299
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: guy is like legitimately the best knife thrower on the planet. Well,

300
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: he's one of them. He holds a record for fastest.

301
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: But boy, you go down a YouTube rabbit hole and

302
00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: to like people like Ralph Thorne and better than Thordin. Huh, well,

303
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: great Thordini does the impalement act as in the circus art.

304
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: Ralph Thorn is like if you're running through the woods

305
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: chasing somebody I haven't seen this guy and this is

306
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: well that's the thorn style. We'll get into those styles later.

307
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, he will like launch himself off of

308
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: a tree stump in the air and throw one behind

309
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: his back and see now that's basically the training I was. Yeah, yeah,

310
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: like martial arts, real world, suburban neighborhood dangers. There's a raccoon.

311
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, you're not throwing a raccoons. Um, alright,

312
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: so raccoon comes at me. Well sure, okay, Um, here's

313
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: what you need if you if you're gonna throw a knife,

314
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: you need a throwing knife. Throwing knife, Like I said,

315
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: it's not a steak knife. It is very much made

316
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: to be thrown. It is balanced so that you throw it,

317
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about the different ways that they're balanced.

318
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: But one thing they're not is sharp up on the sides. Yeah,

319
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: they're very pointy, but um, they're dull on the edges

320
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: because you're gonna a lot of times to be throwing

321
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: it by that blade. Um, so get a knife for throwing.

322
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: The old saying, Um, sharp of point, sharper point is

323
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: the point sharp of edge? Uh it doesn't. It does

324
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: you no good that old saying yeah, that's a great thing,

325
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: like that should go on a T shirt. You should so, um, yeah,

326
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: you want a sharp point, but there's there's nothing about

327
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: a sharp edge that's going to help you in any way,

328
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: shape or form, because the whole point, again, is the

329
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: point that's gonna stick into that endo, whatever that target is,

330
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: which is usually a block of wood. Right. So, um,

331
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: depending on where how you're going to throw it, you

332
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: want to throw the heavy end first. And there's a

333
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: reason for this. The reason is is that, if you

334
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: want to get technical about it, velocity equals um distance

335
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: divided by time, right, And when you're throwing a knife,

336
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: especially the heavy end first, the heavy end has traveled

337
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: a further distance in the same amount of time than

338
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: the lighter end. This, friends, creates something very important a

339
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: knife throwing, although not fundamental, which is spin. Okay, And

340
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: so if you throw the throw the knife, you're gonna

341
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: throw it either blade end or handle end. And the

342
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: end regards what you're holding when you throw it. And

343
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: if you're holding say a knife handle, and you're throwing

344
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: it from the handle end, you're the front of the knife.

345
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: The point is going to be weighted. It's going to

346
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: be heavier so that that starts the spin. If you're

347
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: throwing it blade first, the handle itself will be heavier,

348
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: so that will start the spin. And there's a couple

349
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: of different depending on which way you're throwing. There's a

350
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: the spin is going to take place over this the

351
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: course of um a very short distance actually, and so

352
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: let me let me just back up a second here. Okay,

353
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: there's there's some factors involved. Okay, they are distanced to target,

354
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: length of nighte, weight and balance and then knife type. Right,

355
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: So the distance the target is going to is going

356
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: to tell you what type of throw you want, that's right, Um,

357
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: the kind of knife. Uh, they say, for every good

358
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: rule of thumb here, just throw it out. But they

359
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: do mention a rule of thumb regardless. That says a

360
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: blade that weighs about one ounce per inch, so in

361
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: thiss per inch of your the whole knife. Yeah, so um,

362
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: they shouldn't. Well, you can throw it ever you want,

363
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: but ten to sixteen ounces is a good starter knife, uh,

364
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, and about that long or maybe twelve to

365
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: fourteen inches and about that many ounces is where you

366
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: want to start off as a beginner. All kinds of

367
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: shapes to like definitely. Some of them are like little spears. Uh.

368
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: Some have multiple points, more like throwing stars. Uh. They

369
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: really run the gamut right there. Um. So, depending on

370
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: how you're gonna throw, whether it's a handle throw or

371
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: a blade throw, the weight of the knife is going

372
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: to be either in the handle or the blade. It's

373
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: going to be the opposite of where you're holding the knife. Um.

374
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: And if you throw holding the blade, you're going to

375
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: throw a half turn. It's a half turn throw right, Yeah.

376
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: And the reason they call it that is because the

377
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: knife only makes one half turn. The blade straightens out

378
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: from your hand towards the target, and then that's the

379
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: only turn it makes. Yeah, it's not like in the

380
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: movies a lot of times you'll see you go right

381
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: and turn like nine times and stick the guy in

382
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: the forehead. That's really not what you're doing with knife throwing. No,

383
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: it's basically if you if you're throwing it by the blade,

384
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: it's gonna make one half turn and that's it. So

385
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: you if your blade throwing, you would stand closest to

386
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: the target, right, So if some guys coming at you

387
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: dressed as a raccoon and you know, he's gonna hurt you,

388
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: and you can throw a knife and he's real close,

389
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: you would throw by the blade, that's right. Uh. And

390
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: in fact, I don't even know if it's possible to

391
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: throw a knife like they do in the movies that

392
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: I don't think. So just tumbles because every video I

393
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: saw there, like you try and prevent tumbling as much

394
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: as you can, Like that's the whole game as too,

395
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: because physics says that a revolving object that suddenly breaks

396
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: free will continue to move in a straight line tangential

397
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: to the point at which it's released. In other words,

398
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: that release points a little tricky. You know, you gotta

399
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: dial that in. But we'll get to that too. And

400
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: on the actual throwing right, Um, so the uh, the

401
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: next the next furthest away from the target is if

402
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: you're holding the the knife by the handle and you're

403
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: throwing it, it's going to make that's a full turn,

404
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: full spin uh, to where a blade goes from facing

405
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: the target, facing away from the target, and back to

406
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: facing the target in time to stick into that target

407
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 1: and not embarrassingly bounce off because it hit the blade

408
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: or the handle first. That's very humiliating. So humiliating. Uh.

409
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: And then the last one is the furthest throwing away

410
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: and it's about the most you would ever want a

411
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 1: blade to turn, which is two times. That's about thirty

412
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 1: ft or about ten meters away from your target. You

413
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: could possibly get it to spin twice, but usually you

414
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: just wanted to spin once or half and that's it. Yeah.

415
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: And uh, did you say a half turn's about seven

416
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: or eight feet? I don't think I did. I just

417
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: said it was the closest. Yeah, about seven or eight feet.

418
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 1: It depends full spin about twelve to fifteen And like

419
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: you said, the the great throw Dni double Bondini double

420
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: twist is up. Yeah. Although one of these other throws

421
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: that we're gonna get into this thorn throw. One of

422
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: the benefits is you can throw from anywhere, supposedly. So

423
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna take one more break and then we're gonna

424
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: come back and teach you a little bit about throwing

425
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: and then, uh, what to look for in a good knife. Okay,

426
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: so you've got you know about how close you want

427
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: to stand at the target, depending on whether you're holding

428
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: the knife by the blade or the handle. The good

429
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: thing is is there are a couple of different grips,

430
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: but they're very similar. So if you're like I want

431
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: to get into blade throwing first because that looks pretty cool,

432
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: you're going to basically pinch them the blade of the knife.

433
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: And remember these are not sharp edges, so you should

434
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: be fine if you do. If you I saw, if

435
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: you are using a sharp edge knife, you want to

436
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: hold the blunt end. Yeah, but you don't want to

437
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: do that. You don't even want to do that, so

438
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: so it doesn't really matter which way you're holding it.

439
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: But if you if it is sharp on what edge,

440
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: hold the other edge and you're just basically pinching it

441
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: between your your thumb and your first three fingers, just

442
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: a little pitch. Yeah, it's just just a teeny pinch.

443
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: Maybe stick your pinky out for effect, all right, and

444
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: that that's the blade throw. Yeah, and you've already got

445
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: your target. By the way, at this point, I know

446
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: you mentioned a block of wood, but they recommend um

447
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: aims small. What does it start small? Aim small? Yeah,

448
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: which is don't don't You don't need a tree trunk

449
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: um sliced up and put on a wall, like you

450
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: just need like whatever, a little twelve inch by twelve

451
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: inch block of wood, or maybe if you want to

452
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: uh screw a bunch of wood together and then draw

453
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: a target on there, that's fine too. Yeah. You should

454
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: probably glue though, because the screws might your your knife

455
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: might bounce off of them. Yeah, you know if you

456
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: using metal screws as opposed to the traditional wooden dell. Right.

457
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: So um, right, so the the that's the what did

458
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: I say, that's the blade throw? Right? Ye, there's a

459
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: handle throw too, and this one is called a hatchet

460
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: throw or hammer throw or the handle throw you could

461
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: call it to and everybody all know what you're talking about. Yeah,

462
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: and you stand, uh, you're a little further back for

463
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: this one because you've got your your full turn going, uh,

464
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: and then you just grip it like a baseball bat

465
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: and swing away right right, close your eyes, and you

466
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: hope for the best ninja strike, right yeah. Yeah. So um.

467
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: The cool thing is what you were saying about starting small,

468
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: aiming small, is that when you when you figure out

469
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: that there's actually just a few mechanics going on here,

470
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: you'll be able to tell what part of your throw

471
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: is actually off, whether it's distance, whether it's when you're releasing,

472
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: whether it's um how you're gripping it. The problems are

473
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: the issues with your throw will show up, and you'll

474
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: be able to read based on how the knife is

475
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: landing or sticking. What's wrong with your throw? Yeah, Like

476
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: if you are throwing, I think blade first, and it sticks,

477
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: but it's sticking at a really hard angle where the

478
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: where the handle is pointing down. Then they say, maybe

479
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: just move back six inches with your stance. That is it. Yeah,

480
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: you're right, you're right, and then try it again. Yeah,

481
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: because that means that you're the knife didn't get its

482
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: full rotation. You wanted to basically be sticking straight out

483
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: perpendicular to the target. Yeah, that's a correct throw as

484
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: you're as you're learning to do this. Yeah, and did

485
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: you say that it's generally your opposite leg of your

486
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: throwing hand forward, So so yeah, so the stance, yeah,

487
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: I mean generally. But then again I also saw this

488
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: Russian guy that through with his throwing leg or the

489
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: same leg as a throwing hand forward, and he was like,

490
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: you know it all works basically was this thing. I

491
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: knew you had the Italian thing going on, but Russian

492
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: that was good. I can I can do that. So

493
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: let's get into the throw them. Okay, So the stance,

494
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: I should say, so with the with the stance, you're

495
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: standing with your um, you're you're throwing arm. The leg

496
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: opposite you're throwing arm is closest to the target. It's

497
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: kind of like you're throwing a dart, you know, um, yes, okay,

498
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: like that. Well, actually that's not quite true when I

499
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: throw it. When you throw a dart, you're the leg

500
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: that is, the foot that is on the line is

501
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: the same side as you're throwing hand, is it. Yeah? Okay,

502
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: well this is the opposite of that. Maybe I've been

503
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: throwing darts throng arms time. So the so the the

504
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: leg opposite you're throwing arm is the one you want

505
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: closest to the target. Traditionally, right, Traditionally your weight is

506
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: on your back leg, that is you're throwing, and what

507
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: you're doing is you're gripping the knife. However you want

508
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: to blade or handle either way. You line it up

509
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: right with your eye against the target, bring your arm

510
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: back behind your head, and then keeping your wrists straight.

511
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: You don't want to flip your wrist or anything like it.

512
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: You bring it in an arc in front of you,

513
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: and you finish like you are shaking somebody's hand. You're going, hey,

514
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: how are you right? But I got a knife? Right.

515
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,959
Speaker 1: The thing is, here's the thing. You're gonna want to

516
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: release at that handshake part when your hand is straight

517
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: out in front of you, and you're gonna find nothing

518
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: but heartache trying to throw a knife like that. Oh,

519
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: if you release it right at the end, it goes,

520
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: it'll go straight down, right, It'll go down in front

521
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: of you. Because when you release an object that's going

522
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,479
Speaker 1: in an arc, it wants to go straight in a

523
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: tangential line from the the the top of the arc. Right,

524
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: that's right. So you want to release it at the

525
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: top of the arc. That's right. So that is I

526
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: was practicing just in the air, trying to to make

527
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: my brain release it at the top. And that is

528
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: really difficult to do because you think initially that the

529
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: nicest gonna go shooting up into the air. It's not.

530
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna go straight. That's right. Pretty neat stuff, that's right.

531
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: And this is just I don't even know what the

532
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: traditional throw was called, you, I know, I didn't see

533
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: a name for it. Well, there are some other throws

534
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: which I might as well go ahead and mention I've teased.

535
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: One is the aforementioned Thorn style from Ralph Thorne. Okay,

536
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: that's named after a dude. Was named after a dude.

537
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: Either way, it sounds cool. Yeah this one, Um, did

538
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: you see this one at all? Inline? I didn't see

539
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: that one. I kind of had an idea of what

540
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: they were talking about based on the article. Yeah, they

541
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: say that it resembles spear throwing. The action, um, I guess,

542
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: and that you're you're not taking the knife like behind

543
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: your ear. You're sort of just extending your whole arm

544
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: and doing a big almost like you're throwing a baseball pitch. Sure,

545
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: that's what I imagine. Yeah, that's what it sort of

546
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: looked like, sort of like a bunch of people were

547
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: doing it different. And then this guy's jumping all over

548
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: behind his back like Thorne style seems to be two

549
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: just do whatever you want. Okay, that's not true. Thorne's

550
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: probably just like so angry right now he's Uh. Then

551
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: there was the Russian style and this look it's a

552
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: very compact um, the elbow is in near the body,

553
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: you hold the knife behind the ear. Uh. And this

554
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: I saw it was a little bit more like, you know,

555
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: like that kind of thing. So that seems to me

556
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: like depending on how close you're holding your elbow to

557
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: your body, like you're gonna chop the top of your

558
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: ear off. Well you want to avoid that, but it's

559
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: it's more like you're pushing it out rather than throwing

560
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: it like a tomahawk. So that's what I thought. Um

561
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: mom you on style was like where you're basically like

562
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: shoving the knife forward. Well what I saw with that style,

563
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: and again all these videos were different, so I don't

564
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: know if these people are just I mean, it is

565
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: YouTube making it. It's not like they're like, I'm an

566
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: accredited thornist. But the MoMu In style looks like they

567
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: were having the knife like in their hand, like kind

568
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: of in their palm and would throw it. But I

569
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: don't know if that was because of the knife, because

570
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: the guy on there was like, this is a bo

571
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:45,719
Speaker 1: bo hurrikan spike which is thrown in the MoMu in style.

572
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: Then that's what this article said to people really get

573
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: into this on online though, right, That's what I did discover.

574
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: So the three the three things, those three types thorn style,

575
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,959
Speaker 1: mom you on, and Russian style. Those are all styles

576
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: of knife throwing. Them all no spin. That's what the

577
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: common thread that they all have. Yeah, which is pretty cool.

578
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: It is cool. And there's a couple of reasons you

579
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: want to do this. The most knife throwers say that's

580
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: really tough on the joints after a while, that's what

581
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: they say. And um, the reason why is because it

582
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: involves like doing crazy like snapping motions with your elbow

583
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: and your wrist and stuff. Whereas with knife throwing it's

584
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: just a smooth arc you're making it. Almost all of

585
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: the motion is in your shoulder and your elbow, your

586
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: wrist stays straight, and you just are generally releasing your

587
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: grasp on the NiFe right into his ape all day long. Right. Yeah.

588
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: With the no spin styles, it is, it's just tougher.

589
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: It's more of a snapping motion. That's like you're gonna

590
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: get tennis elbow after a while. The reason the advantage

591
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: that these have is like, if you're trying to throw

592
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: a knife through a hole, you can't have a twelve

593
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: inch knife spinning making this twenty four inch arc basically

594
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: or circle. Um, you just want to send it straight

595
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: like a missile through that hole in to some dude's

596
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: leg in his calf, and then you you pounce on him,

597
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: put your hand over his mouth and nose until he

598
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: falls asleep, and then you can advance further towards the castle. Well,

599
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: the the Russian guy I saw was talking about the

600
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: first thing you do is find the balance point. So

601
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: he held out his finger and put the knife on

602
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: it until, you know, like a little sea solid till

603
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: he found the exact point. And he's like, there's a

604
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: balance point. So once you find out where that is,

605
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: that will teach you exactly how to hold it um

606
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: in any in any scenario. Basically, I know where the

607
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: balance point is though, So whatever you're doing, though, if

608
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: if this sounds like something you want to do, whether

609
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 1: it's spin throwing or no spin throwing techniques, the key

610
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: to knife throwing of any kind is practice, practice, practice,

611
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 1: And this article actually gives a really good piece of advice.

612
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: It says, get a little set of throwing nives, the

613
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: best you can afford, because the more expensive they are,

614
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: typically with them, the better the more well made they are.

615
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: And um, get some, get like I said, of three

616
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: or five or whatever, because you're you're going to have

617
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: to practice repeatedly. And if you have one knife and

618
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: you're standing fifteen feet away, you throw it, you have

619
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: to go get it. You throw it again and go

620
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: get it. That's not nearly as fun as trying to

621
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: throw like five quickly in a row. So you're number one,

622
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna be more entertained. Um. But also if you do,

623
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: no matter how many knives you have, if you start

624
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: to lose focus, if you start to get bored or frustrated,

625
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: stop because if there's one thing about knife throwing, it's

626
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: meant to be fun. And if you're practicing with your friends, uh,

627
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: don't they don't stand to the side of the target.

628
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: They don't stand directly behind you. UM. I would recommend

629
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: they stand well behind you and well to one side

630
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: of you. I've got one even better. Don't even don't

631
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: even let your friends anywhere near you. You you have

632
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: to be alone while you're practicing throwing knives, but you

633
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: have to be in text or phone contact with your parents.

634
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: We're watching you from a safe distance. Sing it to

635
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: your parents. Maybe. So, Uh, you should go and look

636
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: at some of these Ralph Thorn videos because the funnies,

637
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 1: the funniest part is, uh, the almost um, not angry,

638
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: but just his trudge towards the target afterward is very like,

639
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's weird. He'll jump up in the

640
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: air and throw a few and then he's just like

641
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: do do do and then walks over and undoes it

642
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: from the log like I don't know. All the pizzazz

643
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: leaves as soon as he's thrown. That's when you need.

644
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: The pizzazz is during the throwing. The rest is just

645
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: wasted energy. Yeah, but you don't see throw Deny. That's

646
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 1: the difference between an impalement act and a dudeness backyard

647
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Well, throw DENI has the smarts to hire

648
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: an editor to edit that part out. Yeah, it's a

649
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: good point. I don't know if we said the great

650
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 1: throw Denie's name. His name is David ed Amovitch and

651
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: he's a neat guy. Great name. So if you want

652
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: to know more about the great throw Deanie or what's

653
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 1: what's Thorne's first name, Jesse Thorn, the other thing Ralph

654
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: Ralph Thorn, or any kind of night throw and go

655
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: go check out some videos. Again, do not do this

656
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: unless your parents say it's okay, and do it safely.

657
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: Don't be stupid and never ever throw any living thing

658
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: ever of any kind ever, or Josh and Chuck are

659
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: going to be so mad at you. Uh. And in

660
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: the meantime, let's listen to some listener Matt, all right,

661
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call this, oh, welcome back to the fold.

662
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: This just delighted me. I like this one too. You

663
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: know in April it's gonna be ten years, which is

664
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: just nutty, nutty, nutty. No one ever thought we'd be

665
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: doing this so long. Jerry has an age today, now

666
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: she hasn't, but she's taken up more clothes as the podcasts. Uh,

667
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,439
Speaker 1: she's getting ready for a gig as a target girl.

668
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: Um all right, guys, um, and Jerry, whoever, whoever else

669
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: that Stuff you should Know might actually be reading this.

670
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: I don't know how famil works, is what she says.

671
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: This is how it works. Yeah, we read it. I realized, um,

672
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: that the most I'm realistically going to achieve by stating this.

673
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 1: It's making you feel old. But when I was eleven

674
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: years old in two thousand eleven, Stuff you Should Know

675
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: was my favorite podcast and listen to every episode. Kept

676
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: on listening for a couple of years until I was

677
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: thirteen when I stopped listening to it, because that's all

678
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: we lose them is when they get too cool for school.

679
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: That's right. So for those those of your teenagers who

680
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: have kept listening through your teen years, we think you're cool.

681
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 1: You're doing it right. Your peers probably don't, but we do.

682
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: I have no idea why I stopped guys up until today.

683
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: I actually figured you guys must have stopped making it,

684
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: and I never bothered to go back and check until today.

685
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: Isn't that funny to think back? To think that someone

686
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: can think back like, oh remember those guys? Like how

687
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: long a daily? Weekly life? So funny. I'm not sure

688
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: how to properly put how I feel into words, though, Uh,

689
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: because not a lot else from when I was that

690
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: age still exist. I grew up with the Internet, but

691
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,439
Speaker 1: poking around Google and looking for old sites I used

692
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: to just uh, it reveals a trail of deleted accounts

693
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: and domain names that no longer resolve. What does she

694
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: find an old computer or something? I don't know. Maybe

695
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: she's definitely taking a trip down memory lane. I know, man,

696
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: I've moved countries, so most of my physical stuff was

697
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: either given away or thrown into a landfill across the Atlantic.

698
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: The fact that stuff you should know still exists and

699
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: it's still making episodes that are just as good as

700
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:48,280
