1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Welcome to you Stuff you Should Know from House Stuff 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: Works dot com. Hang, and welcome to the podcast. I'm 3 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: Josh Clark, and there's Charles W. Chuck Bryant, there's Jerry 4 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: over there. Uh, and this is Stuff you Should Know 5 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: the podcast. How's going It's fine, great. How's it going 6 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: with you? Good? Jerry's distracting me a little bit because 7 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: all I see in my peripheral vision is her practicing 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: her new hula fire dance routine. It's pretty dangerous. It's dangerous, 9 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: but it's um it's interesting to see out of the 10 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: corner of one's eye. Performance art, performance hula art. Can 11 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: you hula hoop? I cannot, sir, I'm too self conscious 12 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: too to even try it. Yeah, it's it's a grown man, 13 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: forty four year old man hula hooping. Plus when I 14 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: do it, like as I rotate my hips and make 15 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: the same ro tap my hips, Yeah, it makes the 16 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: sound of like almost congealed jello just slopping around in 17 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: the ball. You know what I mean. I don't want 18 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: to make that sound. Yeah, but um, I did see 19 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: at a the East Atlanta Strut Festivals, one of Atlanta's 20 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: many great neighborhood festivals. I believe the Strut to Me 21 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: is known for having the better music of most of 22 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: the festivals. And our buddy Craig Johnson's band played Space Knife, 23 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: not space Knife O. This one was I can't remember 24 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: the name of this band, but that band is no 25 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: longer now he's got a new band. Even that guy 26 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: is always coming up with new stuff. You could never 27 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: pay him down too good. You should check out Space 28 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: Knife though. People on the web you can find it. 29 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: It's good. It was in our TV show too. Yeah, 30 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: that's his alter ego. But anyway, Freg's band was playing 31 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: and this I was pretty hula naive hoop naive at 32 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: this point. And a few years ago, and um, there 33 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: was this lady doing uh hula routine to his band 34 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: playing and I videoed it. It was so awesome. So 35 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: she was hoop dancing hoop dancing. Yeah, like the neck, 36 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: the arms, the legs, moving around with it like supremely 37 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: talented hooper. Yeah. If you go onto the web and 38 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: and type in hoop dancing, it's gonna bring up some 39 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: pretty impressive videos. Yeah, and it's quite a workout. I 40 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: could tell. We'll get to that. But just watching her 41 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: I got tired, and so I drank another beer and 42 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: just listen to music. Yeah, and pretended you were hula 43 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: hooping in your head. Yeah, you're like, I'm so good 44 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: at this in my head. But I was like, man, 45 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: that's a thing. Again. I had no idea, but it's 46 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: a big thing, ya, hula hooping. Yeah, but it's been 47 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: around for a while, Yes, it has. For example, Chuck, 48 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: did you know, As Robert points out, Robert Lamb wrote 49 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: this article from Stuff to Blow your Mind. Yeah, and 50 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: he says that the hula hoop has been around in 51 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: some form or fashion since before most of the world's religions. Wow, 52 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: that's really saying something. That is saying something. So let's 53 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: get in the way back machine. Oh we're play back time. Yeah, 54 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 1: let's go back to one thousand b C. My friend, 55 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: we're in Egypt and their little children, Egyptian children with 56 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: dried up grape vines they've made into hoops playing with them, 57 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: and there's some Egyptian news like get off of my 58 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: patch of sand kids, Yeah, you know, instead of a lawn. Sure, 59 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: I get it. That was good. That was all right. Um, 60 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: so they there, they no doubt used them in similar 61 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: ways that we did today, But they what one thing 62 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: they did, which was a big sporting thing to do 63 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: for a long time, which I don't get personally. The 64 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,839 Speaker 1: fun value that is is using a stick to push 65 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: a hula hoop to the road. I think the fun 66 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: and it is that the hula hoop as it's traveling 67 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: down the road, which does seem to be the oldest 68 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: use of the hoop as playtime activity, Right, it wants 69 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: to fall, it wants to follow over, right, So if 70 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: you can keep it um going, then there's probably a 71 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: tremendous amount of personal satisfaction that you can carry all 72 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: the way to bedtime with and maybe have good dreams 73 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: because of Yeah, I don't even see if you had 74 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: a plastic polyethylene hula hoop, a modern hoop, I don't 75 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: see how a stick like how you would even push it. Uh, 76 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: you would want a stick with maybe um like a fork, No, 77 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: probably something like a stick with a big wad of 78 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: chewed bubble gum on it to like just have some 79 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: sort of point of contact. Because, as we'll see when 80 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: we talk about hula hoop physics, friction plays a big 81 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: part in making hula hoops. Hula hoop, Yes, around the 82 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: waist that is well in any in this case as well, 83 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: and the stick makes contact with the hoop, you're using 84 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: friction to push it along. Good point. So I see 85 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: your point. Like, if you're going to use a stick 86 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: on a like a plastic hula, who it's gonna slide 87 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: off or it's gonna want to Maybe it scares me. 88 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: That's why I think it's dumb. Maybe I would be 89 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: made a love by the hoop maybe at first, but chuck, 90 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: you would have to hang in there and stick with it, 91 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: and um, pretty soon you'd be rolling hoops like an 92 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 1: Egyptian kid. Yeah, like an ancient Egyptian child. Hoop rolling 93 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: was a big deal throughout ancient Greece as well and Rome. Um, 94 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: they decorated them with bells and things and toys. Uh, 95 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: fifth century BC. There's you ever heard of ganny Mede? Ganymede. 96 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: He was a handsome hero, Oh he was. He supposedly 97 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: there's an old fifth century BC urn of him, um 98 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: where he's holding a rooster that was apparently a gift 99 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: from Zeus and a whop hula whop, clearly hula hoop 100 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: and apparently this discovery Um, I'm not sure why it's 101 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: called the Berlin Painter urn, but it is again no idea. 102 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: But um apparently they said, well, I wonder if hoops 103 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: played a role in the earliest Olympics. And I guess 104 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: they've discredited that idea now, but for a while because 105 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: of this urn, this picture of ganey Mead with a 106 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: hoop um, they wondered, was it a sport? Yeah, an 107 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: Olympic sport. But the Greeks supposedly did use hoops for 108 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: physical fitness as like a physical activity, in very much 109 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: the same way it's become popular today. I would imagine 110 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: a hulah an Olympic hula hooper would be sort of 111 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: like the you know, the what was the sport the 112 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: curler of today? Are you kind of like an ancient Greece, Like, hey, 113 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: what do you throw the hammer? What do you do? 114 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: I'm a hula hooper, although I would guess would probably 115 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: be more akin to the hula hoopers of today. Yeah, 116 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: the hooper roller is what the sport would have been. 117 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: That would be more like curling, right, hula hooping. That's tough, man, 118 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: it is tough. Uh. What else? The ancient Briton's um 119 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: they had a game called a battle game called kill 120 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: the Hoop. Yeah, I like this one when they would 121 00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,799 Speaker 1: roll the hoop and throw try to throw a spear 122 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: through it. Pretty neat and dangerous. Uh. And apparently they 123 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: also used it and the hula method and it would 124 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: people get injured. Yeah, it's there was a fifteen or 125 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: fifteenth century those are the four hundreds of the fourteenth 126 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: century century hula hoop craze in Britain in that bizarre 127 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: that is weird, and yeah, people were getting injured. There 128 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: was a proclamation by the early physicians. They would pull 129 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: up there like crows, mask their plague mass just long 130 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: enough to be like stay away from hula hoops, steer 131 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: clear of those things. Yeah, the warning was hoops kill 132 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: was I guess what was posted on the church door. 133 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: And this is like in addition to being in the 134 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: way of a spear that was being thrown at a 135 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: rolling hoop, like this is just from hula hooping. I 136 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: would stay away from the hoops altogether if I was 137 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: an ancient Briton. Yeah, because really, if you're like an 138 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: ancient Briton, you're going from like zero to sixty as 139 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: far as like physical fitness goes. Once you're hula hooping. 140 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, just because you're not just sitting 141 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: around eating uh like lamb's brains, Yeah, drinking meat? Uh 142 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: what else? The Native Americans UM have a long culture 143 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: of using the hoop um in New Mexico, the taos 144 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: Uh Pueblo people, UM, they used them in ritual dances, 145 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: private healing ceremonies. And did you look up this chunky thing? No, 146 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: did you find the chunky reference? I did. The kaho 147 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: Kean Native Americans. That was an unusual way to pronounced that. 148 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: How would you say it kaho Kean? I think in 149 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: Native American would be kaho Kean. That's fine. Uh. Near St. 150 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: Louis apparently is where they played this game Chunky, which 151 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 1: I just had to look it up because a game 152 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: called Chunky with an E y and um. From what 153 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: I saw, it was more of a small stone disc 154 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: than like a hula hoop looking thing, and you would 155 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: it was like kill the hoop though in Britain, right, Yeah, 156 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: they would throw a stick apparently it looked like a 157 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: combination of like um bocci and and kill the hoop. 158 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: Weird because I think they would try and throw the 159 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: spear where the disc would eventually land and the closest 160 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: to the disc one. That's like they're predicting where the 161 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: where the hoop would fall. I guess this makes sense, 162 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: although that's not really like Bocci at all. I mean, 163 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: I get there's a proximity element that's boc s y Um, 164 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: but I don't know. I don't know. Like once I 165 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: saw that and saw pictures, I was like, I don't 166 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: even know if they should be in this article because 167 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: it's like a small doughnut that's a hoop of sorts. 168 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: I guess. So it's a stretch if he asked me. 169 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: But it was a big spectator sport, like fifty acre 170 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: stadiums of people would watch this would go to the 171 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: chunky games and so so there was chunky matches in 172 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: Koho kia Uh, and the pueblo used there. I think, 173 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: as you said, they used hoops, and they weren't the 174 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: only ones. UM. There are other tribes from all over 175 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: North America and meso America. I believe UM that used 176 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: hoops for dancing. And apparently it was in nine thirty 177 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: a guy named Tony white Cloud, who was a Yemez 178 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: pueblo down in New Mexico. UM did like a hoop 179 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: dance in public and basically brought it back like it 180 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: had been virtually lost to the ages, at least as 181 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: far as uh the average American was concerned. Most people 182 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: didn't know this was the thing. Luckily, Tony white Clouds 183 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: like check this out did an awesome hoop dance, and 184 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: then by there were national hoop dancing competitions in New Mexico. Um, 185 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: and they're a big deal still to this day. Yeah, 186 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: of course, I think did he kick off the America crazy? No, 187 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: he didn't. He was strictly native American hoop dancing, not 188 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: hula hooping. Okay, so let's go to well, let's take 189 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: a break actually, because this is this is the big 190 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: revelation here. That's right, all right, Josh, We're at that 191 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: point where mainstream America goes hoop crazy. But to get 192 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: to that point, we actually have to go backward again 193 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: in time for a second, back in the way back machine. 194 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: So let's go it running. Let's go to I don't know, Feediar, Tahiti, 195 00:11:54,840 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: year Poesia. Yeah, and it's the eighteenth century. See all 196 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: these British sailors drink some rum, oh man, Okay, yeah, 197 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: in addition to the realm we've already drank today. Uh. 198 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: So the British sailors that you see here, um, are 199 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: noticing a hula dance, right, and they're filing it away 200 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: in their mental catalog. And uh now when they reach 201 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: Britton again, why have we been saying it like that? 202 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: I don't know. Uh, they notice that it bears a 203 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: striking resemblance to what people do with the hula hoop. 204 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: You gyrate every time you'd say that, by the way, 205 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: you can't can't not do it. So the term hula 206 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: became applied to the hoop, especially when you used your 207 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: hips to gyrate to rotate them. When you rotate your 208 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: hips with the hoop. Uh, these British sailors ended up 209 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: applying the word hula to it, and it's stuck. That's 210 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 1: where it came from, was Polynesia, even though they was 211 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: no hoop involved in Polynesia. Correct, Yes, they just kind 212 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: of ganked that word. You think their own purposes is 213 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: all over again? That was a big nineties sternm wouldn't it. 214 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: Let's go watch some X files. Um, what's actually yeah, 215 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: the movies coming out soon night. Oh yeah, they're doing 216 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: another one, aren't they that thing will never die. I 217 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: don't think it should keep doing movies, That's what I say. Um. 218 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: So we mentioned that the Greeks I believe used it 219 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: for physical fitness, right. Uh. I don't think we said that. 220 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: I think I said it, okay, Um the uh, the 221 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: Swiss actually came to adopt it for the same reasons 222 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: too in the nineteenth century. In early twentieth century, Yeah, 223 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: someone named Emil Jacques uh dal Crose and that was great. 224 00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: That's tough. UM had a program called Rhythmics, which, of 225 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: course I started singing Sweet Dreams this morning because of that, 226 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 1: and I've been singing it all day as a result. 227 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: So that was a special training program. It was apparently 228 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: a big deal. It was a big deal. So Rhythmics 229 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: used hoops for UM basically physical fitness, but also interpretive dance, 230 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. It was a combination of It 231 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: was like dance training is is what I can gather, 232 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: and it used hoops. The reason that we're mentioning this 233 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: when we're talking about the American crazes, that it directly 234 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: led to the American craze potentially because yourhythmics spread from 235 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: Switzerland to UM. Great Britain and it was brought in 236 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: as part of like pe class in Australia. And it 237 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: was in Australia that the founders of Whammo were inspired 238 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: to create the modern hula hoop that we think of 239 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: today boom. So it's possible they watched the rhythmics class 240 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: or heard about the rhythmics class and with Australian kids 241 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: and then said, well, this is a clearly something of 242 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: Australian design and let's bring it to the US and 243 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: started crazy. They said, sweet dreams were made of these. Yeah. Uh. 244 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: And this was Richard Ner and Arthur spud melon mel 245 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: malin melon sounds like m l o n like Thornton melon. Uh. 246 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: Don't tease me with that movie The Great Back to School. 247 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: I saw a bit of that recently and and the 248 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: only thought through my head was like, man, why couldn't 249 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: I have caught this from the beginning? Yeah, because I 250 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: want to see it all that And man, his son 251 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: is pasty. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought you were 252 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: saying that was a line for the movie. It should 253 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: have been. Yeah, his son Keith Gordon, who became a 254 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: great movie director. H really Yeah, the guy from Christine 255 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: and Back to school. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he'd he gave 256 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: up acting and started directing movies and directed uh a 257 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: bunch of good movies. One called Waking the Dead. You 258 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: should see, I thought, Keith Gordon co starred, and they live. 259 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe I'll have to check that. Uh 260 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: So where were we? Oh? Yes, the two founders um 261 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: of WAMMO. They said, you know what, let's take these 262 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: wooden hoops, let's make them out of polyethylene. Let's make 263 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: them and let's charge a dollar ninety eight for them 264 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: and make them all kinds of fun colors. Yeah, and boom, 265 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: the hulahoop craze in night was born. Like it was 266 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: the definition of a flash in the pancrase, a lot 267 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: of money in a very short span of time, like 268 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: a summer. Basically pretty much in Ninemo released it and 269 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: by the end of nineteen fifty eight these things were 270 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: rotting in the warehouse. But in the meantime they sold globally, 271 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: globally from the summer to the end of ninety eight 272 00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: a hundred million. Who who Yeah, more than that, I think, 273 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: dam my brain, Yeah, you forgot what we were talking about. 274 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: I almost said, Frisbee, did we do one on the frisbee. No, 275 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: I thought we had, but we haven't have we No, 276 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: we did one on the boomerang, right, just like a frisbee, 277 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: but it's like a dangerous frisbee. Uh. So they sell 278 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: all these hula hoops. They make a ton of money, um, like, 279 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: you know, over fifty million dollars in a short span 280 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: of time, which I'm sure they weren't happy with that 281 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: that it didn't last, but they were also probably like 282 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: an injection of cash like that is great for any business. Yeah, 283 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: and then they moved on to the frisbee and made 284 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: even more money. Yeah. And they did not secure a 285 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: patent for it. I guess it didn't matter in the 286 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: long run. Well, they couldn't because it was so yeah, 287 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: demonstrably an ancient invention that nobody could patent it. Nope, 288 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: but they trademarked it. They did. They trade marked the 289 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: name hula hoop in the United States, which is why, 290 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: uh we still call it hula hoop today. I guess 291 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: it just became we should probably put the title with 292 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: a are in a certain goal for this. Oh, yeah, 293 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: we should do that, like Barbie. Uh. It was named 294 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 1: the number thirty five toy of all time UM by 295 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: Time magazine and they know toys toys, And then from 296 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight to nineteen eighty one there were national 297 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: hula hoop contests held and the guess in the early 298 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: eighties people were finished with it. There were also like 299 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of um music, like musical singles released 300 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: called the hula hoop song. Different people recorded different songs 301 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: about hula hooping. Doesn't surprise me. Yeah, it was a 302 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: crazy big time And you say that they were done 303 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: with it by the eighties, not true. The national competitions 304 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: there was so if you look at hula hooping records, 305 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: the most recent hula hoop records from two thousand nine, Well, 306 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: but was that part of a national competition probably, or 307 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: just a guy named Aaron Hibbs he hula hooped, just 308 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: hula hooped for seventy four hours and fifty four minutes. Wow. 309 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: He broke the record of I didn't even stand up 310 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: for that long. He broke the record of a girl 311 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: named Kim kob rely um. She held the record twice, 312 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: in nineteen with fifty four hours and in nineteen eighty 313 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: four for seventy two hours, which is pretty impressive. People 314 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: do like hundreds of them at once. Yeah, there's a 315 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: guy named Paul Dizzy Hips Blair who set the record 316 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: in two thousand nine with a hundred and thirty two 317 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: hoops at the same time. That's impressive. He's basically probably 318 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: just like like the Michelin man made of hula hoops. 319 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: Ever tell you about the Surface Area Man constant him 320 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: in Athens that was out on Halloween, um in Athens 321 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: in college and those the dude I know.

He lives kind of in 325 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: my neighborhood now. I still see him every once a while. 326 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,479 Speaker 1: We called him Sideshow Blake because of Sideshow Bob. And 327 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: he came in bar and the Georgia Bar, and he 328 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: had these foam disks around his arms, around his legs, 329 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: around his waist and neck that were huge, like probably 330 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: four ft across, and he was Surface Area Man and 331 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: that was just his costume because when he moved around, 332 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: he took up like, you know, probably seventy five square 333 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: feet in space and he would just move through the 334 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: bar and say, I'm surface area man, and I'll always 335 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,719 Speaker 1: remember every time I see Blake. I saw him at 336 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: the grocery store the other day. Was he dressed like that? No, 337 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: but that was like surface He wouldn't fit down the 338 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: grocery aisle. Does he have dread still? Yeah? Does he 339 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: really still rocking the red dreads? He's dedicating? He looks 340 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: exactly the same. Actually, but we weren't friends. I could 341 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: actually like him. Actually, I'm gonna just walk by him 342 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: and go surface area man. I'm gonna do it. All right, 343 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Hudsucker Proxy for a quick moment, 344 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 1: and then we'll take another break. Did you ever see 345 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: that one? I don't think I made it through that one. 346 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: The Coen Brothers, Yeah, uh not. All of their movies 347 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: are great. I disagree. I love the Cohen Brothers, but 348 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: some of their movies stink. Oh boy that they're part 349 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: of my pcent club where every movie they've made it 350 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: has been great. That is wrong? Which other ones? Don't 351 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: you like? The Man who Wasn't There? Love it? Uh? 352 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: Bob Robertson, They didn't. That wasn't there? Well it was terrible? Okay? Uh? Well, 353 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: the Hudsucker Proxy too. I liked it. I would put 354 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: it at lesser Cohen's for sure, you would have to, 355 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: but I enjoyed it quite a bit. Tim Robbins and 356 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: Jennifer Jason Lee and Paul Newman u in a fictitious 357 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: tale of the invention of the hula hoop. Um. It 358 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: is not the true biopic of the invention of the 359 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: hula hoop, but they co opted it for one of 360 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: their movies and it was nothing pretty great. But that's 361 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: just me, okay, all right, go ahead, Well no, that 362 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: was it that I just want to shout it out. Fine, 363 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: Uh well, then let's take a break because are about 364 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: to get into physics in hoop games. Yep. After this, 365 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: no Country for Old Man terrible. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. 366 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 1: I love that's maybe the best. Raising Arizon is probably 367 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: the best that It'd be tough for me to pick 368 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,479 Speaker 1: on any given day, but far Ago is the one 369 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: I can watch over and over. Yeah, I would say 370 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: this three year time for first. Did we just come 371 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: back from the break? Just sick? Going right back into 372 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: the car? I don't know. All right, let's do it. 373 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: We'll see how Jerry edits this. Um, so let's it 374 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't be a Stuff You Should Know podcast if we 375 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: didn't talk about the science behind something seemingly unscientific. Well, 376 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: hula hoops are super complex as far as physics goes, 377 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: you know, super complex, super complex. There's just a few things. 378 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: We are not in agreement on stuff today, are we? 379 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. So let's say you 380 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: have a hula hoop, right, and it's around your waist, 381 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: and you take it and you wrote you have it 382 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: up against maybe one hips making contact with your body. 383 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: That you're starting in the traditional way, then sure, and 384 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: you whip it around to one side, and as you 385 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 1: do you start rotating your hips. Right, I'm rotating my 386 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: hips chests. Uh. And as you do that, when you 387 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: rotate your hips, what you're doing is, first of all, 388 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: you're conserving the angular momentum you gave the hula hoop 389 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: when you pushed it in a certain direction, twisted it 390 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: around yourself. Right, that's right. You are the axis you, Yes, 391 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: you are the excess to and when you move your 392 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: hips around you, when you when you rotate your hips, 393 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: you're applying what's called torque. Yeah, because all this hoop 394 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: wants to do is fall down around on the ground 395 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: and you look foolish. It wants to stop. Well, no, 396 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't want to stop because of inertia. It wants 397 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: to keep going, but it can't because of friction. But 398 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: it wants to fall down to the ground like you said, 399 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: and make you look foolish. But ironically, that same friction 400 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: is keeping it from doing that. Who was the fool? Now? 401 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: Whoop the hula hoop? Fool? All right? Did you talk 402 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: about the torque? I did talk about torque, and torque 403 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: is a twisting force where you're twisting your hips. You're 404 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: thrusting the hula hoop around in the circle, and what 405 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: you're doing there is contributing to the centripetal force and 406 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: its centrifical no send trip at all, two different things. 407 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: Move is a force that moves at a right angle 408 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: to the motion of your body, so it keeps that 409 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: thing whatever it is, say, hula hoop or tractor tire, which, 410 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: by the way, someone said a record hula hooping with 411 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: a tractor tire. Yeah, for like seventy seconds of fifty 412 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: four pound tire. How big was a person? I'm sure 413 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: he's ginorm all right, Um, I think he's from like 414 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: bailor roost or something, you know. Yeah, they do that 415 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: on a daily basis. So, uh, with the centripetal forces 416 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: is going at a right angle to the direction that 417 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: you're thrusting your hips, it's constantly going to move around 418 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: the circle on the axis. That is centripetal force, boom, 419 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: tripetal motion. I should say yes. And when this hoop 420 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: wants to fall, of course, we're talking about gravity. Gravity 421 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: wants to win that fight. But um, if you keep 422 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: that pulsing gyration going, then you're gonna keep that hoop 423 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: just a little ahead of the curve. Yeah, that's apparently 424 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: the key, and Robert puts this in here is a 425 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: kind of like a throwaway thing that I think that's 426 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: the key of hula hooping is you want your hip 427 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: to move just before that that I guess wave that 428 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: comes in contact with your body again, comes in contact 429 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: like comes catch and release in a way. Okay, you 430 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: can catching it on your up and then slinging it 431 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: back around. I'm gyrating. There's a lot of gyrating going 432 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 1: on in this room right now. It's crazy. Um, So 433 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: there's a few different parts of the body at work. Um. 434 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: I don't know why in two thousand four they needed 435 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: a fifteen page study in the Journal of Biological Cybernetics 436 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 1: to figure this out, because if you just look at somebody, 437 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: you can tell that the hips, knees and ankles are 438 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: really what's at play keeping that thing going. And that's 439 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: if you're just doing the the hip hula hoop, notack 440 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: and legs and all that. Of course, it's just the 441 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: standard hooping, right. Yeah. And so another study I think 442 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,719 Speaker 1: four years later, in the Journal of Human Movements. I 443 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: don't know why they needed that. They built upon this 444 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: two thousand four study and said, okay, you use your hips, 445 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: knees and ankles. Everybody uses it, but depending on the individual, 446 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: there'll be different contributions from the hips, knees or ankle 447 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: depends on the motion of your ocean exactly. So it's 448 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: like the individual. Everybody uses the same the same parts, 449 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: but they use them in different percentages to come up 450 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: with the hula hooping motion. Yeah. I've got certain body 451 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: types are better at this than others too. Yeah. Slim, yeah, yeah, 452 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: probably so that the one in front of A Craig's band, 453 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: she was pretty slam. I guess she's working that thing. Man. 454 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: It was like, it was pretty amazing hula hoop. So 455 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 1: that's hoop dancing. When we'll finish up here with some 456 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: other games. Well, we didn't talk about hoop dancing. We 457 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: were just talking about hula hooping. No, we talked about 458 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: hoop dancing at the beginning with that lady. Oh yeah, okay, 459 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: so that's hoop dancing. Okay, that's when you know it's 460 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: around the neck and then you work it down around 461 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,959 Speaker 1: your hips and then up one arm and then up 462 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: the other arm. It's pretty impressive. Um, your standard hula hooping, 463 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: of course, which we've covered. Uh, speed and endurance depends 464 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: on what you're after, sure, like I want to do 465 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: this for twenty minutes, or I want to do it 466 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: really fast for five minutes. Okay, hooper, that's one of 467 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: my favorite trendling Like you're a little ancient Egyptian kid. 468 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: I'd like to see you do that hoop rolling. Let's 469 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: do it. Let's do a video for that. Okay, we 470 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: could do a periscope of it. Oh yeah, let's do that. 471 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna start doing that. We could do at least 472 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,959 Speaker 1: one of me hoop rolling. I think people, Well, we're 473 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: gonna get emails, they'll turn out and droves to see that. 474 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: Hundreds of people show up for that. There's one not 475 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: on this list that I want to give a shout 476 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: out to. All Right, what it was invented? Apparently in 477 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: Belgium they call it Belgium skipping. It's called ankle skipping. 478 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: It's where you put the hula hoop on one foot 479 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: around one ankle and you use it to hula hoop. 480 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: You make the hula hoop motion with that one and 481 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: if it comes around, you jump through the hoop with 482 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: the other one. Yeah, I can't believe it wasn't on 483 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: this list. Yeah, that's a solid hooped endeavor. But apparently 484 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: it's a pretty recent invention from like the sixties. All Right, 485 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: that makes sense. Um, that's sort of like hoop jumping, 486 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: but not quite know hoop jumping is more like jump 487 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: roping with a hula hoop. Yeah, but that kind of 488 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: reminds me of that too. Okay. Hoop jumping is when 489 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: you hold the hula hoop the top of it and 490 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: then you swing it around your body and jump up 491 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: and down. Um, like you have nothing better to do 492 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: in life, right, Like you can't find a jump rope 493 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: you haven't heard of those before. Return the hoop. This 494 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: is the only one I was ever good at. That's 495 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: when you you hold it vertically and you fling it 496 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: out as hard as you can backwards, and it sort 497 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: of spins in place and comes back to you, and 498 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: if you're not expecting it, you're gonna turn and run 499 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: because it's startling. He talked about kill the hoop. We 500 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: don't recommend you use spears to do that, or just 501 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: make sure nobody's in the vicinity of where the hoop is. Yeah, 502 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: you don't want to combine hoop chundling and kill the 503 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,959 Speaker 1: hoop because you'll kill the hoop chund to lure. And 504 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: I'm not even to cover this last one. I dare 505 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: YouTube though. I like this one. Whop your environment, Yeah, 506 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: go ahead. So it's like can put hula hoops around 507 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: and you jump from them like their their islands and 508 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot of in between. Okay, what's wrong with that? 509 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, too childish, No, I'm very childish, but 510 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just didn't there's a dear childlike 511 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: not childish. Big difference. Man. Uh, Well, we talked about exercise. 512 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: It is um legitimate exercise are hula hoop classes now. Um, 513 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: apparently Marissa Tomay, the actor, um, took hoop fitness classes 514 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: to lose weight for or to get in shape for 515 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: her movie The Wrestler in two thousand eight. Uh. First 516 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: Lady in Michelle Obama is very famously hoop worked out. Yeah, 517 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: whop hooped the lawn of the White House to say, hey, kids, 518 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: get active and at the US Open, yeah, you can 519 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: still have fun by doing this. Um. And they even 520 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: did another study to see what kind of calories you 521 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: could burn. Lots of hoop studies, um, too many. Um. 522 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: They took women between sixteen at the nine and said 523 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: go crazy and hoop and they yeah. And they were 524 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: weighted hoops too, by the way, Um, which is not 525 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: to say they were super heavy. They're generally still pretty 526 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: light weight. Yeah. But strangely a weighted hoop is easier 527 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: to keep going, yes, which makes sense, I think. Uh. 528 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: And they average a hundred fifty one beats per minute. 529 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: Yeah heart beats oh their heart Yeah yeah yeah yeah. 530 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: Tripical Quest would be proud. Uh. And that is burning 531 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: seven calories a minute or two ten calories during a 532 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: half hour of hooping. So that's good. Exercise people. That's like, um, 533 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: weightlifting type calorie burn yeah plus also um, like if 534 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: you just break it down to calorie first of all, chalk. 535 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: I want to do an episode and I'm not quite 536 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: sure how to frame it yet. It doesn't have a thesis. 537 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: But there are so many like medical myths out there 538 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: that are just taken as fact, even by the medical establishment, 539 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: even though like if you asked a doctor like is 540 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: this fact, they would be like, no, no, actually it's 541 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: not like drinking eight glasses of water a day totally 542 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: made up and that Like, I think we should do 543 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: one on medical myths sometime. What do you think we 544 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: should have? We not No, Like part of me wants 545 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: to say we have, but I think things to have 546 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: just come up like here there over over the years. Anyway. Um, 547 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: if even if you take the calories out of the equation, 548 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: just hula hooping, the standard hip gyration hula hoop will 549 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: really really work out your core.
