GMMore 2597: Slicing Things With Playing Cards

Welcome to Good Mythical More. We are about to learn an amazing skill. Throwing a playing card. Yes. And slicing a banana. I don’t believe it’s gonna happen. But first, we’re gonna do our secret handshake in which we each exchange cards while people don’t know. So, we do this all the time. I’ve got a little ace of hearts that I would like to give my friend Link. And I want to give you a good jack. But hold on, but nobody knows that we’ve got these. So, you can’t be holding it. No, I’m not holding it. And we, yeah, you gotta. My, this wrist is hurt, I don’t wanna. Okay, well then I’ll go, I’ll do this. You gotta be left handed. How’d you hurt your wrist? That chicken? I don’t know, like a week ago or something. I don’t know. So, no one is going to know that we’re exchanging cards in our normal handshake. Normal handshake. Normal. Normal. Keep it, keep it.. Still normal. Keep, keep, keep. You got it? I got yours. Oh! Bye! It was good to meet you. And look, I got, I got your jack. Oh, yay. So, that’s one of the things that we do. Ace the test. With our cards. Now, before we watch an instructional video, I feel like I’ve seen enough of these to know a little bit. Something. I’ve seen people, like, they just flick it. Of course we have some suspended bananas over here. You just. That one didn’t work. Okay, I didn’t do it right. So, what did, cause you want. It has to spin through the air. You want to, spin it. Yeah. With my wrist. Oh. Wait, what’d you do to your wrist? I don’t know. It wasn’t choking the chicken? No, it was, it was, it was earlier than that. I don’t, I don’t know what I did. You’re going to be at a disadvantage. Don’t you? I mean, we’re of an age, you just wake up and something hurts. – Oh, yeah. – And you can’t remember why. Of course. And then you play the game of how did I hurt this? Yeah. How did I hurt this? How did I hurt this or did it just hurt itself? Right. Did it happen while sleeping or yesterday? Maybe we’ll go, right. Maybe we’ll go like Frisbee style. Yeah, yeah. That sounds right. I shouldn’t laugh at you because. Okay, now, oh, we landed up there. I’m gonna be able to do it. What did you do? I really Fris-ed it. Oh, yeah, oh, yeah. I’m gonna have to go with my left hand. Well, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Well, sometimes. I can’t get my left hand to do it. Oh, how did I do it so good twice? See, as much as, this requires a flick, or flicking of the wrist. I can’t do it. Hold on, I did it. Oh, I suck now! Let me try it. What happened? What happened? I think we gotta stand, can we stand up? Is that gonna screw everything up? Nope, nope, nope. Oh gosh, people do things standing up, guys! Let’s watch the freaking video. Okay, I guarantee you he’s standing up. Let’s see how to do this, or maybe it’s a she, why do you think it’s a he? It’s probably a guy, I’m just gonna say it, I mean, guys, they get bored, they run out of, they hurt their wrists, they run out of things to jack, and then they gotta touch cards. They’re looking for. I’m just telling you, it’s probably gonna be a guy. Anything to keep them away from their feelings. Yep, let’s see. Let’s watch this guy. This is how you throw a playing card. Let’s learn. Start by pinching the top left corner of the card. Just like that. Alright, start. I wasn’t listening. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She’s a guy that probably would have been listening. Yeah. Start it over. This is how you throw a playing card. Let’s learn. Start by pinching the top left corner of the card. Just like that. And then curl your wrist, and this is how you let go. The friction should allow the card to go ahead and give it momentum. So, this is what it looks like from here, and I extend. She’s standing up. And just like that. Let’s try a bit more. There we go. Are those made out of metal? Look at that cat. There’s a cat back there. The cat is completely safe. The cat’s just there. The cat’s got the perfect position to watch that thing. So. So, like, she was doing this. I have a crush on her. I’m just gonna be honest. Her energy is nice. And she has a little accent. Yeah, she has an accent. Does she have a little accent? Just a little accent. And she’s got this confident energy that I just, I wanna, I wanna just. I think it might be too much for you. I wanna squeegee some of that off. It might be too much for you. I need some of that energy in my life. Some of that like, cool confidence. Yeah, why don’t you try it? I. So, she’s. No, like this. She started like this, and then she rolls it. And then she unfolds it. Like this. No, it’s, it was tucked. Like, like, I didn’t do it, but. But she did it every time. Well, she’s got, she’s practiced. And she was standing. Yeah, let’s stand. So. Sorry guys, we gotta stand up. I think we may have to watch it. This is how you throw a playing card. Let’s learn. Start by pinching the top left corner of the card just like that and then curl your wrist and this is how you let go. The friction should allow the card to go ahead and give it momentum. So, this is what it looks like from here and I extend. And just like that. I want to watch her. Let’s try a bit more. I want to watch her the whole time. There we go. I know what she can do, but she’s actually doing it. She’s not showing herself. She kinda is. There we go. And she’s aiming it. Yeah, aiming is part of it. Okay. Pinch. And. Oh, wow. Okay. All right. I’m going to get it. I’m going to get it. That could have put somebody’s eye out. I’m just afraid. Look, look, look. Really pinch just the corner. Really fold. Well, that could have worked, Rhett. It’s going to happen. It could work. How does she do it? So, she did. The thing is, is that she looks like she’s not trying. That one went in the trash can too. So, I think. What she means is the friction will cause it to release. Do not release it. Hold it tight, and the friction releases it. And that’s how you get. Honestly, it’s like dying birds. I’ve had a couple that were pretty nice. Yeah, you did. She’s just so nonchalant, though. It’s like she doesn’t care. She’s just like. Yeah, but she’s really getting a lot of, but the unrolling of the arm is like unfurling, it’s giving it a lot of momentum. The further it is up there, what if I did it with the other middle fingers? I’m doing it with the middle fingers because my middle fingers are exactly the same. Those fingers are closer in size, so I think it’ll create more of a leverage. I think I’m hurting my. I mean, I know, we’re afraid of hurting ourselves here. That’s the main thing. You’re getting worse. What’s happening? Don’t let go of it. – Yeah, I think it’s the. – Okay, so that’s what it is. You have to try to hold on. Like, just pretend like you were just, you’re really trying to hold on. And then you hold it, you go straight. You’re like. But listen, here’s the problem that you’re doing. Yep, give me the problem. You’re following through. Show, see how she’s she freezes. She’s there. She’s pointing at the thing. No, but see your hand? Look at your hand, so I’m gonna put my hand, I’m gonna put my hand below here. There you go. There you go. See? I’m gonna do this Okay, keep going I had a dream about you.Two nights ago, I forgot to tell you about it. You got an award. You got a medal. And you had to wear it at all times. See, it really feels like I need to be like this. Nope. No, do what she did. Do what she did. Or just like this. Keep doing what you were doing. Keep doing what you were doing. You wanna know what you won? Yes, a medal for card throwing? You cheated on your wife. And I was like, I was like, why are you wearing a medal? It looked like an Olympic medal. You don’t get a medal for that. And, and I realized. There are some things that I want to win. I know you don’t, but I realized the genius of this. Because then everyone’s like. The infidelity awards? Everybody was happy for you. Like, oh, you won a medal, but you had to wear it. You had to wear the medal and then you had to tell people, I cheated on my wife. It was like a Scarlet Letter? It’s like a Scarlet Letter. It’s a Scarlet Medal. You got, you’re weird man. I basically invented a chastity medal. Well, no, it’s a punitive. Oh! Holy crap! Dude, that was lightning! Okay, here’s what I did. Watch this. Did you see how fast that was? I’m gonna keep doing this. I feel like I’m helping you. So, here’s what I did. I kept it like that, and then I folded the whole thing down. So it. Oh, shoot. It’s gonna happen! Explain to me why that’s different. Okay. Don’t sigh before you do it. Cause I listened to it. You have to do the corner and then you keep it in that posture and then you fold the whole thing in. So, now it’s. Yeah, it’s going to work. He’s in the wrong corner. Alright, let’s do it side by side. I’m in the wrong corner? Yeah. You gotta go to the corner now. What do you mean? Look, do this. See how you’re going the wrong way? Oh, is that what she did? And I’m also doing my two middle fingers, but that doesn’t really matter. And then I’m taking the whole thing and collapsing it in my wrist too. My whole wrist. Everything. Yeah, go. That’s better. Oh, it’s up there. Okay, it’s gonna happen. Now I’m just gonna go rapid fire. So, but, this is right, right? Right there? I don’t know how that happened, sorry. I’m just gonna take, just put them all in your hand. Oh! I’m almost getting it! I’m almost getting it! I hit an naner on that one. There’s gonna be cards lost forever. Yeah, that was, that was good. Why is it happening? Where’s that happening? Oh! Oh, that was close. Okay. Getting worse. It’s like this. If I can figure out where to start this thing. I went high that time. Okay. My accuracy sucks. Do you want an aiming tip, possibly, I found online? Oh yeah, we’ll take it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It says put your foot opposite of your throwing hand in front and point it towards what you’re trying to hit. Yes. So, it looks like you’re putting, yeah. Okay. My arm’s hurting. Okay. Hey, you’re getting pretty fast, though. Cause I’m. Lucas is over there. Now, just remember, when you wake up sore tomorrow, this is why. Yeah, it won’t be because I slept on it wrong. Right. Dang it. It’s almost like I have to throw it almost at the ground. Like, yeah, that’s it. I have to go so far down. This sucks! Okay! Okay. I cupped it. Cup it? You cup it? Okay. Accuracy pickup. You cupped your fingers? I cupped the whole thing. Like that. Okay, yeah. What do you mean? Cupped the whole thing? You do it tight. And then you bring it in and you, you cup the whole thing, so it’s like the other side of the card is in the wrist. Oh. Oh yeah, Rhett. That was it. Cup it, where it’s on the wrist Oh! Whoa! Hitch about lost a, a ear. That would have been cool to take a ear off. Content, content. Okay. Alright, so we’re gonna What if I’m the one who does it? Oh! Okay. Dude, I’m so close. If that had hit it, it would have done it. Why am I going over there? Oh! I’m so close! You are, dude. You can do it, dude. Mine just are fluttering over there. Okay. Why am I getting tired? Whoa! Maybe you don’t need to beat it. You know what? I’m gonna start aiming this way. It’s like I get it, then I lose it. Yes, I touched, I touched a banana with my card. I’m the first to do that. I grazed one. But it wasn’t going very fast. I think I can do it. Dang it! I think I need a metal one. Okay. Come on. We’re not leaving until we do it. Everybody else can go to lunch. We have to stay and do this. We have to stay and do this. You want me to raise it up a little? No! Want to stand a little closer? Yeah, maybe closer. Let’s get closer. Oh, come on, man. Come on, man! You’re getting worse, dude. You’re getting worse. I’ve lost my technique. Oh, there we go. Oh, hit one! Oh, that one was fast. Y’all need goggles. Wow, that was fast. I’m hitting the strings now. Mine always goes over there. I wonder why. Why? Why is it going over there? You’re a cheater, man What? You’re losing heart. You’re losing, you’re not even. Why does? My arm does hurt. My arm hurts. I think you have to be a woman to do it. There’s certain things that men can’t do. There’s just some things that men can’t do. That’s what it is. This is a woman’s game! I should’ve known. Know your place. KG, come on. Come on in here. You wanna try it? Sure. Watch her get it on the first try. Here, alright, this is it. Come on over. Have you done it before? Come on over. Come on. I’ve never done this before. – Come on. – Come on. Alright, so you take this, hold out your two fingers, and, turn it over, and put that in there. And then, you bring everything back. And then, don’t stop, and then you. Alright, you’re a woman. Okay. Oh, that had a good spin on it, though. That was better than anything that we did for the first 50 tries. Well, that was. I want to try again. Bring it all Whirl it up. And step with your left foot. Yeah, see? Five tries, she’s got it. I mean, we should have 40 people over here trying this. Okay, are we ever gonna give up? Well, at this point, I think our arms are just out. I mean, even if I just went up to it. That’s my call. I’m gonna leave. I’m sorry. Look at that. Did you see that? I can’t do it anymore. Alright guys, we’re just gonna cut the cameras now. You can keep going. We’re gonna keep going. Y’all go to lunch. Whatever y’all need to do with the rest of your day. We’ll be here. We’ll be here. Come back later. We’ll still.
