Ultimate Frisbee Primer

Hello, and I am here to disavow any responsibility for the ads. It's all Tyler's fault. He lied to me. And he said he stood there and said, we have integrity. We would never take. I did nothing wrong. I never do anything wrong. I am not a person who does ever anything wrong. Look at his face. Look at the guilt. Look at the guilt. The shame. Look at the shame. He was sweating so hard. His hair drooped. No, because of the embarrassment. And the shame. What you can't even speak for himself. It can't look all right. So from here on out, I will be the sole host of the the podcast. He will be replaced by Drew Carey or someone equivalent. And we'll get some actual sports people in here. I don't control the ads. This is supposed to be an ad read and I'm so confused. Oh, I thought we were doing the episode. No, never mind. Okay. Well, you can take this and stitch it on to the episode. Actually, you know what? We're just going to do the episode now. Oh, yeah. We'll do the we'll do that. Oh, I forgot. We're supposed to be doing as we know. Right. Oh, man, we got this whole catalog of gambling ads, draft Kings, and we're about to do Tyler brought it to me. And I said, no more. I can't live this lie. Man, how funny is that, though? I'm sorry. I can't hear you right now. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He's my outrage of you trying to claim that I did something I didn't do. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah, try to pull a fast one on us. He didn't succeed is what happened. So, uh, no, this is I don't know if these ads have been playing before that episode. He doesn't seem like it. It seems like literally this somehow timed up to land exactly at the moment that this would occur because I don't I don't see anyone saying that there's been an ad before. I don't remember there being any and I'm pretty sure that we spoke and said absolutely not. So what this likely is is something that Tyler has been planning for so long because he knew that he could get away with it and disavow it because all the coincidences too much, but I see through the lies. I see through. I've been in Colorado for the last week. Uh, this is not on me. This is not on me at all. I've been busy rock climbing. I've torn up my hands a decent amount. Cause I three solid two of the flat irons. I went paragliding, which will be a future episode. We'll talk about. I did not. I had no control over this. I take no blame. And I know we had spoken to the team that deals with the ads saying that this wouldn't happen. But you know, maybe because gambling was in the title, they're just like, oh, they're talking about it. You know, I'm not going to lie. That probably wasn't because a lot of ad systems are automated these days. So they target keywords. Right. So it's like, it specifically looks for a word. And it's like, because we don't read them all. So there are ads that pop up here and there that are not by us. We would prefer if all of them were read specifically by us. That way we could vet who they are. But in today's age of mass media, I suppose something slipped through. However, what we said still stands. We personally do not endorse that. And we are working to make sure that doesn't occur again, because it's like we said on the episode. It's harmful. Yeah. And I don't know if a single person is to blame. Like you said, it's probably like some sort of algorithm with the automated system that was just like, oh, yes. Yeah. But I mean, I think if we say fuck draft Kings really hard and loud, I'm pretty sure they can't really complain. If they're going to give money to us and we still go, fuck those guys, fuck all that shit. Don't do it. It's all bad. Then I'm pretty sure they could spend all the money they want. And it wouldn't apply. But we're going to try not to have that happen. Yeah. Fuck gambling, fuck, fan duoled, fuck draft Kings. Yeah, we're just listing the name. Is this the, that believe all good, all press is good press for some people. Yeah. Anyway, welcome to the episode. Welcome to go. My parents first, this was supposed to be an ad apparently, but you know, we, uh, we get confused sometimes, you know, we get confused. Well, I was going to look at this and see Cheeto and see how long it isn't go. What? Look, you can't change the names of those things afterwards. I'm just not going to do the play of the joke on him. Yeah, definitely. Before we get into the episode, there has been another breach of outrage on the subreddit. Reddit.com slash r slash GMFST. If you don't know where it is, apparently there's been a backlog of secuses. I don't know why I don't know why. I just, you know, it's technology, man. The things broke, I think. I don't know. All right. So here's, here's the truth, guys. Uh, Tyler pulled me aside after an episode one day. And he said, man, these secuses are really hurting my feelings. I know that they're calling me out on how wrong I've been in so many of the things. But listen, I just, can you hold off for a few weeks? I know there's a lot because I've done so much wrong. Um, but just please give me a, give me a, give my ego a break. He was crying actually previously when he said this to me. And so I was so pathetic. I, I pity him and I didn't do any more secuses. So. Yeah. Yeah. And, uh, it's totally true. Yeah, 100%. I said, yeah, no, that's not true at all. Mark Mark is entirely to blame. He has not looked at them in all fairness. In all fairness, I will give, I will give him this. We were in a massive rush to get two episodes done, which is why the last two episodes were shorter than normal because I was going out of town. In all fairness, I was going out of town to, to see my brother. Um, part of the reason for that was to, to work out of my, uh, a little bit of a hiccup of headspace. My mental was a little off. But I went out there. I was planning to see him anyway and go paragliding do all this other stuff. But had nothing to do with secuses. Uh-huh. That's a cold blooded backstabbing lie of Mark trying to throw me under a bus that's non-existent. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Okay. Well, I do have one to use that. I want to read because they really put a lot of work into this. Um, so clockwork canine for three weeks. We've been silenced. Mark E fishbok. Your initials are MEF. You know what else those initials are for? Most egocentric fraud. Three weeks of silence. Three weeks of for loan existence. We have endured with no voice to put this in perspective. A house fly lives for roughly four weeks. Living organisms have gone through their entire life spans in what I can only hope is the time it takes for you to perform your birthright as medium to the ghosts. You've asked us to perform your twisted downright stupid little game only to spit on our metaphorical graves by ignoring the prize. The chance to be heard. We've been the mice for your little experiments. So where is the cheese? It goes on for a while. I'm going to purge this ghost a little early. Um, at the end of it says, there's my third request. No demand for you to act or may geese spew from your mouth forever more. So, um, hopefully that goes, can settle down. Um, and then there's another one here for, uh, this is by Molly Hellcat. So, um, for two weeks, you've avoided the numerous decreases that are piling up. We elegant listeners will not be silenced by the power invested in the subreddit. We will be hard. Do I have to do I have my own self interest in mind, of course, as part of the reason I like many others have to cues you only to have my voice echo into the abyss. You can only cower away from us for so long. Second gripe. One I've had before the southern accent. I won't go into much detail here as I've done that once already. I will just reiterate what I said. It's insulting. It gets used when portraying someone a not particularly intelligent or someone with a moral view. I don't know you're going to slip into it. I just came out and I don't know why I was a southern ghost. That's what I can. I can't really. The spirits. They possessed me. Was that it? Was that it? That was the spirits. What did you just do? Nothing. Nothing. The spirits possessed. All right. And then the rest of the jacuzes are just gambling. It's talking about how hilarious it was and or disappointing it was that they did it occurred. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of people pretty pretty outraged about that being like, oh, we caught you. And I'm like, we didn't that just we have no control over that. I don't know what happened. Yeah. Wait. There's another jacuz here that I'm confused about, which is for this isn't interesting. I think that's actually is an interesting conversation not to cut into the episode too much. Okay. But there was someone that said TX hit girl in regards to the sports gambling is like, we don't we're not comfortable pushing sports gambling to our audience. This is a quote that you said apparently we try and be socially conscious and responsible market. I don't want to promote something that can negatively impact somebody's life in a dress way. And then I said, I don't want to say we're saints, but we try our best not to we tried to do as little harm as possible. The concern is actually not with the gambling. It's with the idea of only fans. Did you see this one? I did. I briefly glanced at it. So have we said, especially Mark, where I have heard him with Tyler, tell his audience that if they are desperate for money to open an only fans account and do porn. I don't think I've that has never never said that. I don't think that's ever been something. I might have said it's something that could be done. It's possible and people do it. And then there's the whole argument of sex work in general, which is just like a completely different topic. Well, I mean similar to the only fans, but not what we were talking about with the gambling thing. Like this is these are entire fields of discussion that we are not experts in nor are we considering ourselves experts in or encouraging other people that they must do this or not. That was not the implication at all. The only time I can think they possibly got that conclusion was when you made the joke was like, show your penis in the one episode when I was talking about my hair only fans. Oh, right. Did I say that was like that was a joke? Yeah. Yeah. The reality of it is that there are some self destructive habits, no matter where you go. And it's kind of part of the human experiences, these pitfalls of what some people consider depravity, what some people call like a job or a profession or desperation or whatever. There's so many different labels that can be put on things like in a whole sphere of things. All we're trying to do is as little harm as possible and then to each their own from then on there. Because even we can't say, well, like even us saying like gambling's bad doesn't stop some people from having a lot of enjoyment out of that. And that's what they choose to do. It's not my prerogative, but also I'm not like I said, I'm no sane. I'm not going to tell someone how to live their life. That's just what I believe and I stand up for what I believe and I believe others should stand up for what they believe as well, unless they're Nazis and then you have that. Yeah. Yeah. And in addition to that, it was the fact more of pushing gambling on people and like advertising for it, especially to a younger audience that was more of the issue that we were having with it. And something that we don't want to do in general, but I also the small point I'm going to point out too is that only fans is not just it's not porn. It's not just porn. There are millions of other creators that do a whole bunch of different stuff with only fans because it is a website that allows you to have creative endeavors behind a paywall. That being said, it is mostly explicit in nature. It's predominantly explicit. If not porn directly, it's of a sexual nature. I would say that it's an adult website. Let's hear it. Yeah, let's not fool it requires you to be 18 or older. Yes, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think we have ever promoted what they say we're promoting at all. Yes. Yeah. Nor would we ever. Yeah. It's like to if you're going to denounce something you have to denounce all of it. That's that's not life. That's definitely not life. We you denouncing something from a different perspective that's not ours. And I believe this person is denouncing is just like no one should do it. And that's not what we're saying. We're saying it predominantly can be harmful. Not that it should be banned for everyone in all circumstances because that's that's absolutionist in certain terms. I'm probably not even using that word right, but it's just very, you know, I'm there's very few things that I'm like all or nothing on, you know, Nazis being the one that comes to mind the most. That's a very good one to be all or nothing on. Yeah, particularly on they shouldn't exist. I'm pretty all or nothing on clothes sometimes, but anyway, moving on. It's either all on or all off. There's no in between. No in between seven layers or zero. All of my clothes are attached to the come off in one suit and one rip off. Exactly. One velcro thing. Today is the day. People all over have been waiting for you. Sorry like that or maybe I don't know. It's exciting. There's a lot of really cool news out there. And you've sounded like the least exciting could possibly be. It's exciting. No, no, no, no, no, there's there's really exciting news in Nebraska. They held a day called volleyball day. And this this was a big deal. All right, because it was a women's volleyball game being held in their football stadium. Okay. And they smashed the world record for a women's sports attendance in the United States. Well, damn. And this just happened like yesterday. Well, that's cool. So originally the coolest part about this is it was entirely paid attendance. So everybody who attended paid for a ticket. And it started simply as $25 for adults and $5 for high school students from younger. And the ticket prices actually ended up reaching as much as $400 on the secondary market. And they had an attendance of that's the old one. Old record was 91,648 set on April 22nd of last year. Say that number again. 91,648. That's a lot of people. The attendance for this was. Oh, wait, that was the record. Was it? Hold on. Oh, that was the previous world record for women's sports attendance in general. And they actually broke that record. They had 92,000 and three fans. 92,000 and three. That's a lot. Yeah. So they beat the world record and the previous USA record in the States was 90,185, which was a women's world cup soccer final of USA and China in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. So huge, huge deal for women's sports getting attendance. Women's volleyball and all purchase attendance is a massive, massive step for women's sports getting the recognition it deserves. Yeah. That's good. Yeah. The women's volleyball. Also Nebraska. Let me, I just want to say something about Nebraska fans. Yeah. Fuck you guys. What in the hell are you doing? Even. Screw you. Oh, sorry. Well, is it? Yeah. Screw you. We're saying together. That's a single opinion. Oh, okay. They are some of the most supportive fans I've seen in college sports between their football stadium. Like they're insanely smart. They're insanely courteous. I've heard a lot of great things about Nebraska fans. And so for Nebraska to set up and do an amazing marketing thing with National volleyball day and make this happen was incredible. I'm glad to see you again. Congrats to the women's volleyball team. Congrats to everyone involved in this event. Absolutely. Hats off to you. Yeah. Nebraska. Woo. In all honesty. Yes. I was just like, I often just like say things before I even realized what the title is saying. So that's not my fault. That's his fault for not saying the important thing first. All right. Well, today we're going to talk about ultimate frisbee because the TCT pro championships are happening this week or have already happened technically. Oh, shit. But by the time this episode comes out, they will have ended. They'll be over. Okay. Because it happens this weekend. And we're recording on Thursday. Okay. But it's happening in Milwaukee. Milwaukee. And it's USA ultimate. It's the sanction club regular season tournament. I am. We're going to talk about ultimate frisbee. Mark, what do you know about ultimate frisbee? I know we've played it together before. Ultimate frisbee is the thing that Mark has brown Lee does. That what? MKBHD. Who's what? What? You don't know MKBHD? The tech YouTuber? No. I'm a sports guy, not a YouTuber guy. Well, I believe he plays ultimate frisbee. I believe he's in that tournament. What does it mean? Am I reporting the news? Hey, what's up guys? I'm taking over. Anyway, so yeah, there's a you don't know the YouTuber MKBHD? No. He's a very popular tech YouTuber. He's also a professional ultimate frisbee player. Really? That's awesome. Yeah. So he's been playing ultimate frisbee forever. Even I know that he plays it by because he talks about it all the time, but also he's apparently very good because he's taller and he's got long arms, a lot of reach. And I've seen some clips of him and he's done some pretty crazy stuff, but also he's like one of the most prolific tech YouTubers out there in terms of like reviewing tech. I think that he might think he's in the... This tournament? MKBHD tournament. Pretty sure. TCT Pro Championships. Okay. MKBHD TCT Pro Championships. It would be honest like Twitter or something, I bet. I see MKBHD Twitter pro ultimate frisbee players writing this title. zeitvo music playing PS4 So he won something at empire ultimate on August 26th. I see him and his team holding a trophy. What's their team name, I don't even know? New York Empire is a men's ultimate team. Oh, that's his team in New York City, yeah. So he is part of New York Empire. So if they're in that tournament, you're talking about then he's at that tournament. Could be. I don't know, I don't see, there's not really a team's list or anything I can look at that on the place that I found the info on. So moving on. Good luck to him if he's in it. What are you so pissed on? That's what I know about them from me. I know that this guy plays it and he's a YouTuber. That's what I know. This is a primer. What do you know about the game? What do you know about the sport? I don't know, probably dumb. Probably like a bunch of boring crap. Probably not very athletic. Probably doesn't take a lot of skill. If this fucking nerd over here does it, then you can't even believe it. Anybody does it. Woo, fuck the brash guy, my friend. This is gonna be the most like bombastic controversial opinion. I never saw it and it accused me. I dare them, I dare them. Whatever. Also my favorite thing about the jacuzes you read today is that they were just jacuzes. It's about not reading the other jacuzes and he's still like door to the hitches. Whatever, whatever. We're never gonna get to the. All right, well ultimately I can do no. Okay, it's frisbee, but I imagine it's like soccer, but frisbee. Okay, okay, probably something like that, yeah. Yeah, I always thought it more of like football but would frisbee. So. Is there a tackle? Is it full contact? There's no tackling. But there's not, you're not doing football. Football is in the kicky. No, football is in the American football. Well, I don't think I'm right. And the reason for that is because you score Vienn's zone as opposed to a like soccer goal. So it's like rugby. No, that's full contact, too. It's like, no, that's got a goal. It's like a league of its own. But it's a somewhat newer game. It's only been around for about 55 years, at least as an official sport. Okay. You have two teams facing off, seven players on each team and you're trying to get the disc into the end zone. When you catch the disc, you can no longer move. There's no trap, like you, you can't run with it. It's almost like basketball in a way. Yeah, yeah, but you can't dribble it. What happens if you are diving and you catch it in mid air? I mean, once you land, you can't move. Ah, what do you get up first or do you have to stay on the ground? There's like a two step allowance. We'll get into that. This is the quick overview before we get into the details. Gotcha, okay. But there are two variations of how the scoring works in the game of ultimate frisbee with different leagues and associations all over the world, typically played one of two ways. You either play to a score limit, which is usually of 13 to 17 points where the first team to reach the points limit wins, or there's a time limit, much like soccer, a limit of 75 to 100 minutes where the team with the most points at the end of the time win. Okay, all right, cool, cool. Either option for scoring combined with a 10 second rule for holding the disc makes it a fast-paced game and it is currently a global sport with millions of players now. But it didn't start out like that. Why not? Act one! Oh, God. The history of the ultimate frisbee. The frisbee was invented as a weapon of war by the ancient Romans. It's only 55 years old. Shut up and attack the enemy. The decapitating disc. There's a reason odd job, wasn't it? Yeah. Okay, all right. Act two! No, continue. I want to hear more about your background of what ultimate came about us. Well, you know, aliens right. They're flying so far. It's gifted to the ancient Egyptians by aliens. They made them an honor. The smallest aliens. Yes, yes. You want to know the reality? Already know it. Food. Food? Origins of ultimate frisbee started with college students eating a certain delicious baked dessert. So, I'm going to give you some options. I'm going to give you some options and tell me which one you think was the origin. Cakes, cookies, pies, donuts. It'll be pies because you get the pie tin. You are correct. Yes, I am. Don't act as a poignant. Why are you upset? I wanted you to be dumb. I had it way before you even gave me the options. That's how smart I am. So in the 1920s, a pie bakery called frisbee pies. No, that's made up. Nope, there's no way. There's no way that's true. It's true. They sold pies that came in metal pie tins to students attending Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. Oh, God, it was a bunch of nerds. I knew it. Oh, no. Did you know our friend TJ went to Yale? Did he? Good for him. Yeah, a little nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd. After devouring the pies, students with tossed empty pie tins around throwing, catching back and forth and people would shout frisbee when throwing to warn people of the incoming pie tin. Hence why frisbee got its name. However, frisbee pie company shut down in the late 1950s and the plastic frisbee disc being sold by the toy company WAMO, though the modern frisbee design wasn't patented until 1967 by none other than Ed Hedrick, the main character from the disc off episode. How do you spell WAMO? W-H-A-M-O. WAMO. All right, well good for them. Do they have a patent known to the design or something? I don't think so, not anymore, because it's frisbee. Anyway, the game. It was an informal bit of fun simply at the beginning. But in 1968 at Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey, a few students introduced a frisbee-based game to the student council, starting the journey to ultimate frisbee becoming an official sport. The first team was formed in 1969, practicing in the high school's parking lot, and then in 1970, Joel Silver, Buzzy Helring, and John Hines created the first edition of the rules. Hines? No, you're telling me this is a catch-up guy's in here? Uh, Hines not spelled the same way. H-I-N-E-S, not H-E-I-N-Z. OK, never mind. OK. So the first official game of ultimate frisbee took place between Columbia High and Millburn High, with Columbia winning 43 to 10. I guess Columbia having created the rules certainly gave them advantage. Is it like one point per score or is it many points per score? Oh, I've stumped him. Oh, no. Oh, Will, don't cut this out. Don't cut this out. We'll keep it in. Keep it in. Keep it all in. Keep it all in. All of it. I'm not going to stop talking. So you have to keep going. Everyone can time this out. Everyone knows how long time is looking this up. Oh, I got him. I got him, guys. I got him. Oh, I got him. He's still typing. He's still looking it up. Oh, the embarrassment. Oh, he's ashamed. Oh, putting a gambling at right now. Oh, we can fill this place with so many moral dilemmas. Oh, he's still going. It's only one point. Oh, is that true? Is it really? Yeah. They scored 43 times. They stomped those other guys. Well, that's, that's, that's terrible. Oh, anyway, I had to verify it. I was like, that doesn't seem right. Oh, yeah, it's one point. Wow. That's crazy. Hmm. That explains the, the fast pace, 10 second holding time limit. Oh, that's true. So in all of it, first of all, it must be passed to person in the, in zone or some of that. Correct. Well, and we'll get there. Okay. We'll get there. Maybe you pass it between players, they can't move. So it's constantly moving. And then you got to catch it in the end zone. Yeah. Cool. So over the next few decades, the game grew in popularity and by 1984, the first world ultimate championship had taken place in the world flying disc federation or WFDF was founded. Okay. Today it is estimated that over 7 million people located in at least 80 different countries play ultimate Frisbee regularly. And ultimate Frisbee is actually really easy to, to be able to play. All you need is a field and a Frisbee and people, which is why much like soccer is very accessible and very easy to, to get together and just have fun with. And you can practice literally with just two people. You hit four people. You can actually do two V2 like it won't be a regulation game, but it's something you can do for fun. Yeah. One of my first memories on college campus that you see was playing, well, no, actually it wasn't. It was just Frisbee. Never mind. You're just throwing a Frisbee around. Yeah. Bob was there. He can attest. It was not ultimate Frisbee. Never mind. We played with our friends with the same crew we played football with. We played ultimate Frisbee with them. Act two. Yes. Time to play. Okay. Equipment. Are you ready to use the desk? You hear that everybody? Are you ready to do this? All you need is the Frisbee slash disk. Any 10.75 inch 175 gram disk can be used for regular play, as long as the team captains agree to use it. Okay. If the team captains can't agree, the official disk, the USA ultimate, is used. The official disk of the USA ultimate. Oh, I see. I see. I see. So the official disk of the USA ultimate ultimate players association. Many other ultimate organizations is in the discraft ultra star 175. Well, specifically, it is the discraft ultra star 175 was created in 1981 is considered the standard for championships. All right. It's made entirely of polypropylene, plastic, and propane or 100 percent post consumer recycled plastic. Okay. So it's somewhat economic and eco-friendly. Yeah. Some what? That's not bad. All right. The playing field. It's a rectangle. How big? 70 yards by 40 yards. 70 by 40. Okay. With a 20 or 25 yard by 40 end zone and each end. So it's a bigger end zone than a football end zone. Really? So it's a bigger end zone than in football is 10 yards by. How wide is it? Well, field is it? It's 25 yards wide. Can't believe it doesn't know what. 25 yards. 25 yards. I can't even make fun anymore. That would have been hilarious if I could have done that. No. No. No. You're not allowed to make fun of me for that. Okay. For that. But everything else. Absolutely. Okay. Well, that's cool. So don't need a lot of equipment. Don't need a lot of things. Oh, what is this world coming to? Technically, it's 53.3 yards. Well, that's just dumb. Who would do such a thing? Yeah. That's weird. It's 160 feet. It's a weird measurement. Anyway. 20 yards from the side of the end zone on each side. There's a brick mark. A brick. That is used for putting the disc back into play if it after an out of bounds pole. Oh, okay. Good. The pole is a throw by the defense and a brick is a pole that lands out of bounds. Okay. Cool. Cool. Positions. You got seven players on each team. You got two main positions though. Handlers and cutters. Cutters. All right. What do you think a handler and a cutter is? Okay. So a handler is the people with the leashes and cutters. They're multitaskers. They're chopping up the cocaine for everybody to imbibe. And then they are also slicing and dicing some s***. You asked me. I don't know. You asked. I don't know. Just the cutters do cocaine. Yeah. They cut it with like some shitty stuff. And it's bad cocaine. You know, I thought they were nerds. We called them nerds earlier. Yeah. Only nerds do drugs. All right. Well, handlers are the ones that are responsible for keeping the possession of the disc. With leashes. Okay. Handling it. They field it. And they run the offense. They're like the, you know, that call in the plays like the quarterback when a stop disc occurs or near the end zone to make sure they don't turn it over. Uh-huh. While the cutters are usually the speedy downfield from the disc. Catchers. They make the plays. They're like the route runners, the wide receivers. And when the pole happens. The pole. Cutters need to get down field as fast as possible and get into an offensive formation to execute a play. A pole is a throw by the defense. Oh. It's, it's like a kickoff. Oh. You throw it down the field and another team catches it. And then they start throwing to move down the other side. What happens if it hits the ground? It's a turnover and the other team gets it when they at that point. Oh. Can they intercept? Yes. Uh-huh. Okay. Yeah, you can knock it down. You can catch it. We're getting into that because this is the strategy in place. Defense. Two main types of defensive strategy. Man to man or person to person. Uh-huh. You just mono, we mono, you cover one guy. Man up. Zone defense where you spread out and try and cover space. However, the most common are the monster in the cup. The monster. The monster in the cup. The monster deep. The monster is responsible for the long distance throws. And the end zone. Uh-huh. All right. Okay. This is your main guy. They cover the deepest offensive players while trying to stay as close to the end zone as possible. And they may call out other players to help them cover if they're spread too thin. In football, we would call this the free safety. The single high safety who navigates the whole field. Mm-hmm. So you usually want them to be able to run, be able to run real fast on both sides. Okay. So they basically switch person-person defense in the cover zone. The cup is where the defense plays three or four players closely with each other to cover the offensive hand-learn possession of the disc. Basically surrounding them like a trap play in basketball and throwing their hands up. Right, trap play. You know, it's like you have the disc. Imagine if me, Bob and Wade were standing around, you're trying to prevent you from being able to throw it to a teammate. Yeah. It's like when you got your trap card and you get it when they stumble right into it. And you get to summon another card from pot of greed. Not a nerd! I'm not. All right. There's some offensive strategies as well that involve wings and poppers. Okay. Those are the zone offenses, whereas the person-to-person offenses, you know, just throw it around. Okay. But wings are the counter to the monsters. They tend to be down field towards the sidelines, which are hard for one single person to cover. Because the field is so wide, they can't cover both sides. Right. Okay. Got it. And they work together to distract the monster. They go, hey, look at me! Come over here! You can't eat me! It's a monster like different than the others. Is it like bigger? I think it's just a really fast dude. It's probably tall, lean, quick. Sounds like MKBHD. Maybe. Maybe. He could be the monster. Wait, I'll actually look at what position. Does MKBHD play in ultimate? Frisbee. Oh, it doesn't say. It doesn't say. Yeah, yeah. But the wings tend to be pretty quick guys as well. And be good at reading the trajectory of the disc in windy conditions, because they're close to the sideline. And if you go out of bounds, it's a turnover. Poppers. These players remain close to the handlers and try and work around the cup defense, basically trying to quickly pop the disc from each other and gradually move up the field instead of going for the long throw like the wings would. So how the match begins, which I talked about beforehand, why it's in this order? Don't ask me. There is some variation on scoring works for a game of ultimate, but usually different rules of association. The game is played with still with teams of seven. Substitutions are allowed if there are injuries and also between points. So at the beginning of the match, before the game starts, team captains will go over any rule changes or flip the discs to determine which team will have possession first. Basically according to us, but you flip the Frisbee. Okay. Each captain choose same or different. Then they each throw a Frisbee at the ground. If both land facing up or down, it is same. But if one is facing up or down, it is different. I like that. That's fun. Okay. That's different. You're the same season. You differences. What is it? I don't know. They look the same. Times it. Okay. Would their fate decided? Uh. Now the semmer members must each head to their respective end zones. What words did you just say? Would the seven members of each team will head to their respective end zones? Oh, okay. So they're on the end zone line, which is the front line. Neither team is allowed to cross the end zone until the disc has been thrown. Okay. The team that has the disc will raise it high when they're ready to start. When the other team is ready, they will raise a hand to show they are ready to play. And the defending team will pull throw the disc to the other side. They'll pull it. Okay. It's like a kickoff. Got it. But it's called pull. Pull. Language is fun. Yes. After playing the game. No. You're playing the game after the first round. Okay. All right. Listen, I just finished working out my adrenaline and my blood flow is not to my brain. It's to my body. So I really am really dumb right now. Okay. All right. You can be dumb. It's all right. I won't blame you. After the first throw, the teams will battle for each point, but not violently. No tackling. No hitting each other. It's non-contact. No touchies. No touchies. Okay. But the weapons they use are good offensive and defensive strategies. So the handler gets the ball. They toss the disc to one of the poppers. The popper pops it back to a different handler. They're popping it back and forth to each other. Oh, it gets knocked to the ground. The other team takes over. Now they're swit. Now they're popping. Oh, they're going for the dog ball. It's a score. And so everybody goes wild. Great. Oh. And that's basically the game back and forth. They're tossing it. They're either using the quick shorter throws or they're going for the long distance throws. Okay. Cool. While some games may leave time for you to get a drink or grab a hot dog, you've got to pay attention. If you don't want to miss any brilliant plays. Brilliant plays, yes. The teams will switch sides after each point. So the audience will maybe want to grab to wait until half time to grab a snack if they want to keep track of what's going on. Because it can be confusing. All right. Sounds good. It goes by in a whirlwind. It's very quick. Like I said, each person is only allowed to hold the disc for 10 seconds, where else it's a turnover. Hmm. So they are constantly throwing. They're constantly catching, throwing, intercepting, blocking, knocking it down, defending, running, jumping. Players run up and down the field the whole time, dynamically changing their offense and defense to try and counter each other's strategic works. Whether going from zone to man to man to using the monster to using the wings to using the poppin poppin go. They're flipping around. Everything's wild. That's crazy. That's pretty cool. And as the timer reaches the last minutes of the game, it's your final chance for your team to pull ahead. Team needs to have two points ahead in order to win. If they don't, additional time is added. Ten more minutes added. Which gives the other team time to take the lead and even the win if they manage to get up by two points. If the extended time runs out and your team is up by one, they actually will officially win the game. After extra time, you can still win by one. Wait, what? So regulation time, you have to win by two. If you're only up by one, they'll add 10 minutes. And then if you're still up by one after the additional 10 minutes are up, you end up winning the game. Okay. So it's kind of like tennis, but less love. Yes. Okay. Yeah. And that's all about Frisbee. Whoa. So let me summarize for everybody at home. You start off. Everyone walks into the stadium. The handlers have the leashes, the cutters are rolling on their hands and these snorting up a line of coke. All 70 yards of the field down the length of it. The two teams cross over each other in a fan formation. They go like, same. Z's difference. He's different. He's different. And then they pass each other to the other end zone. And then somehow the flying saucer of an alien comes down. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Attractor beam shoots down into the middle of the field. Hey, stop laughing. It's shh. It's under me. Boom. Right there. And then down to Sands, Marques Brownlee. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Go into the center of it. And then he has the Frisbee. And then he tosses it like a coin. Does the triangle of fairness above on his forehead? And it lands. And then one of the teams gets to go first. Whatever is fair. And they all agree that it's fair. And they not there. And then go like, that's fair. Then from the cages on either ends of the team's fields. Big doors go. Two monsters. Each one comes storming out. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. And they charge. And then in the middle they smash into each other. And then whichever monster wins. Test Frisbee, baby. While the other players are trying to distract them on the sidelines. Yeah, but they're too busy doing cocaine. I think a monster got into the studio. My life just went off. What just happened? That's what happens. That's what you get. That's what you get. Oh, don't eat me. Please. Yeah, too late. All right. So that's so Frisbee. I think I explained that pretty well. I'll continue the ending. And I figured we'd act like I died. Oh. Tyler's dead. No. I was going to have will at it. Like a monster coming and everything. Oh. SS. So sad. I don't know what was in there. Do the outro. Do the outro. What do you mean? Do the outro. I don't know. Oh. Hey. Oh. Oh. Oh. SS. So sad. I don't know what was in there. Oh. Hey. Man. We're going to have a candlelight vigil for Tyler. But also he endorses gambling. No. All right. I'm doing the outro. I screw you up back. The monster didn't eat me. I ate it. All right. Good. Good. Oh, thank you so much, elegant listeners and elegant viewers.
