00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,080
welcome to the Langley curling Center and welcome of course to nerd Sports

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:12,320
where the keyboard Warriors fresh off of a couple of winds are going to be taking

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:14,960
on the tardies I mean what are they late

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:20,260
in the sport of curling we plan to sweep our way to Victory this episode is going

5
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:24,240
to rock curling

6
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:31,720
jokes is there something wrong with my hair sure all right ask me questions I

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,160
I've only ever seen curling at the Olympics and like honestly it doesn't

8
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:40,559
even look like a real sport it's more of a game I don't know like it's it's just

9
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:45,640
it's just weird it's like they were like oh we need to add something to the Olympics let's just throw rocks on the

10
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:51,840
ice and see how far they go sorry curling people in of the world I figure

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,879
it's just kind of shuffle board or botch ball or lawn darts or any kind of game

12
00:00:54,239 --> 00:01:00,480
you know you throw it you try and throw it the right amount and don't throw it

13
00:00:57,239 --> 00:01:00,480
too far

14
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:08,560
uh my name is Jordan tardy and I've been curling for around 5 years uh my name is

15
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:13,400
Nick I play lead Daniel I'm the third for this team I have a bronze and silver

16
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:19,280
medal from Junior Nationals I'm Tyler I play Skip and uh sometimes I call a

17
00:01:16,759 --> 00:01:19,280
pretty good

18
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:27,360
game I have seen cling copts on TV and I

19
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:35,240
don't know why people are yelling I don't get it Kling is a sport all about

20
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:37,479
finesse and getting your rock to the

21
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:41,880
spot I believe it is the sport that's playing behind me with the sweeping and

22
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,680
I think I'm probably going to be the sweeping dude

23
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:10,200
perfect we're super screwed this is my broom get your own broom okay oh I get

24
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:15,360
it now maybe okay okay I guess I just go just

25
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,360
go go for it man go for this is a more natural turn to start anyways there you

26
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:23,680
go that was you know the right idea maybe can I just can you settle an

27
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:28,760
argument for us really quick absolutely Bank shots permitted or no no sorry I

28
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,680
figured that out when I saw that the other lanes don't even have the banks on

29
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:38,120
you should have figured it out immediately no you should not have need

30
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,120
that's a viable strategy in

31
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,800
pool

32
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:48,480
yeah see the big line here the big blue one I see that this is the call the hog

33
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:52,640
line you have to let go yeah you have to let go by this okay so not a problem for

34
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:56,560
you guys watching you do that on the ice you warm up that Pebble a little bit and

35
00:02:54,920 --> 00:03:00,800
that helps keep the friction down and you you may not you may not touch the

36
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:05,480
thing right just I'm verif I'm making sure maybe

37
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:10,200
there's some why don't you ask if we can Ste the other ties well maybe we can I

38
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:14,200
don't know do that in Lacross I'm sweeping I'm sweeping it I'm sweeping I

39
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:17,959
don't know what I'm doing here but I'm doing it Dennis you doing it or what

40
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:24,040
Dennis you're go over there Dennis Dennis over here come on Dennis there we

41
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:25,640
go there we go look at how easy this is

42
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:29,360
Taran you got to sweep you don't just drag the gosh no I know but this is

43
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:33,040
doing something no it's not doing anything you're supposed to it's

44
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:40,480
friction you're supposed to heat the ice that's what I'm doing L it's heating the

45
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:43,280
icea slightly sweep I'm just asking if

46
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:46,480
that'll work no it's not going to work if it was going to work don't you think

47
00:03:44,519 --> 00:03:50,799
Dave would do it maybe they're not as advanced as us I maybe I'm changing up

48
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:56,360
the sport a little bit you know 4 minutes to learn how to

49
00:03:53,720 --> 00:04:01,519
curl call it hello curling fans and welcome inside

50
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:06,959
George in Recreation Center in Langley BC as a keyboard Warriors continue their

51
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:12,519
nerd Sports tour and try their hand at curling today as they take on the 2016

52
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:18,160
Canadian Junior men's curling bronze medalists in team tardy I am Brandon

53
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:23,040
Asel alongside Tyler dinwoody and Tyler after doing so well in volleyball

54
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:26,680
lacrosse dodgeball and hockey I guess the Nerds figure hey let's stay on the

55
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,720
ice and try some curling well Brandon the key difference I see tonight between

56
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:34,639
this and the other sports is this one is is going to require a lot more touch and finesse as opposed to Pure athleticism

57
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:40,120
is which they've needed on their previous four Endeavors a game like curling you need touch slight of hand

58
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:44,400
you got to communicate and they have none of that so this should be an interesting match up yeah they've really

59
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:49,039
proven to have none of that that's true we are underway we got team tardy in

60
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,919
their black uniforms looking sharp they are the guys that look like they know

61
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,160
what they're doing and we have the keyboard Warriors and their familiar

62
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,960
what do you want to call it fluorescent orange red red with yellow numbers they

63
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:03,479
kind of resemble maybe McDonald's volunteers at some sort of kid's

64
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:07,400
birthday party always easy to spot Taran he's worn helmets in almost everything

65
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:10,639
he must fancy himself a real smart guy if he wants to protect his head that

66
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:15,919
badly but anyway we'll see if he needs it or not is Dennis going now old one we don't

67
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,759
know what's happening and we got Dennis is hung

68
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:24,720
leading things off here with the rock this should be an interesting technique

69
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,120
and form um try try and put he looks

70
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:31,520
like he's taking it really seriously we'll see how he takes off in this he's not using the uh the uh the that a lot

71
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,840
of people choose to use he's just bouncing on his broom which is an impressive start we'll see if he can

72
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,000
stay on his feet and let's listen in as Dennis lets his first one fly let go of

73
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:47,840
it on by this oh that was too fast don't sweep it

74
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:49,600
don't sweep it I can do that yeah let

75
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:52,680
fly was probably a very correct term for it's going hard right they're not even

76
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:57,479
sweeping Teran just going to let this one go and yep hits the bumper on the other court and what a shot if he's

77
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:01,479
playing on the other side that would be a decent guard Stone all right Dennis

78
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:07,400
try not to suck next time get off the field get back back out of the way lane

79
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:12,360
two and here's team tardy and look at that technique the form and he's just

80
00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:17,199
going to lay this one open see the spin beautifully done Tyler tardy the skip

81
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:22,840
he's been curling since 2008 and they put a nice one in there early

82
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:27,000
go denn you need to curve it do the curvy curb but go like

83
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,919
yeah okay Colton get up here Colton denn

84
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:41,840
that was too fast you're good you're good that's why I didn't even get up

85
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:44,479
there what do we do going

86
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:47,360
do techn we're not allowed to hit their rocks for the first four what do you

87
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,400
mean we're not allowed to hit the Rocks the first four yeah I didn't know that

88
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:56,640
what happens if we do wow they're good that's a that's look

89
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:01,479
at that

90
00:07:01,479 --> 00:07:08,599
go all right all right all right oh that was I think that no Dennis don't don't

91
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:13,720
that's too fast okay sweep it sweep it come on sweep it sweep it Dennis you got

92
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:16,560
to sweep come on now look at he's really giving Dennis's H the business I'm

93
00:07:15,599 --> 00:07:20,360
trying to figure out what's going through his head that he thinks he's one

94
00:07:18,599 --> 00:07:23,919
of the foremost authorities within their group because he's terrible you want me

95
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:30,080
to do okay don't do anym get that what are you doing oh

96
00:07:27,039 --> 00:07:33,000
that's good is I of you go you're just

97
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,000
upset you don't mean

98
00:07:36,039 --> 00:07:41,919
that went past the motion it really is

99
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:46,199
there not much friction on here I mean no loss is a relative term person

100
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:51,000
standing here calls the shots on sweeping right yes okay well next time

101
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:56,120
hopefully that'll work well you need to be louder I was really loud many so how

102
00:07:53,520 --> 00:08:00,759
many points you guys get do you have a GoPro on your helmet no oh what's on

103
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:05,319
your helmet it's a light oh a light right right so it only goes to 12 and

104
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:09,639
you guys got six points in one end what if you get more than 12 okay that's it

105
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,440
handicap time what if they bring it on you're going to put weights on your

106
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:16,680
sticks it's going to be an advantage to pour weight in the broom why do we keep

107
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:23,360
giving them handicaps that are a secret Advantage I don't know horse head masks

108
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:28,720
as Horses let's do this is this a sumo suit throw the Rock at shower you can't

109
00:08:26,039 --> 00:08:33,240
even see it but wait there's more you're also going to be wearing this fantastic

110
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:39,000
bathroom which I actually kind of wish I got to wear cuz I'm pretty

111
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:42,279
cold uh I can barely see no question

112
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:45,680
about it their vision is a lot more

113
00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:47,680
obstructed that's right yeah now we T

114
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:53,080
yeah now now you know what it feels like to suck it curling first throw ends up

115
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:56,839
here for team tardy and the first stone looks a little

116
00:08:54,519 --> 00:09:01,959
soft and is that going to make it to the line I don't think so in they know it

117
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:07,600
the one shot that we try to do every

118
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:12,720
time all right that was a bit fast Denis that was pretty fast

119
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:19,160
sweep don't sweep and let's just hope it doesn't hit the Dennis come on Den

120
00:09:58,959 --> 00:10:06,680
good head on you the block it up there

121
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:09,600
any better no way pressure's on line is

122
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:13,560
here Dennis is the most uncoordinated and they're all 156 lb wow if he could

123
00:10:11,959 --> 00:10:18,160
have snuck by that one it have been a shot it's not awful it's actually their

124
00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:22,680
best shot of the game but he uh but Colton gets in and sweeps it out further

125
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:28,360
okay so was I pretty close on both of those shots you super close only that

126
00:10:25,079 --> 00:10:30,440
much off both of them okay so you're

127
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:34,560
saying if I like what I I was telling you I was telling you to go here to hit

128
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:38,480
it that's not what you're supposed to do well of course you're suppos to hit no

129
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:41,800
you don't you don't hold the thing here and then say to curl cuz it's going to

130
00:10:39,959 --> 00:10:45,880
end up over there no because you suck it doing it and I knew it would curl around

131
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:49,440
into it it's not going to curl around into it if you point right out okay well

132
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:53,600
you suck C okay okay so I should have done I thought you had to curl was that

133
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:59,040
even my fault like was I on his line I didn't

134
00:10:56,839 --> 00:11:06,519
see that's a really good poker face right there there what was I on the line

135
00:11:01,279 --> 00:11:08,240
was it his fault or mine it was close 50

136
00:11:06,519 --> 00:11:11,000
wow you guys are totally unhelpful all right all right let's go again you guys

137
00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:16,200
are getting another handicap for that attitude I'm calling it now next end

138
00:11:14,079 --> 00:11:20,240
wins and you guys are going to be playing with

139
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,240
these

140
00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:26,880
H good luck with

141
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:29,680
that really crazy right

142
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:33,839
now everything was pretty manageable until we got the horse heads now with

143
00:11:31,839 --> 00:11:37,760
these gloves it's you can almost not even hold the handle right so yeah it's

144
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:41,560
just going to be pretty difficult all around now they're at the point now

145
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,680
where they should barely be able to move let alone play we got to get our

146
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:49,240
teamwork together we're not playing as a very good team honestly I'm just mad at

147
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:53,880
you I'm mad in general why are you fixating on the that's all that there is

148
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:57,839
to do you sweep when I say to sweep we focus on the game don't sweep when I say

149
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:02,920
to stop sweeping whatever man and don't hit each others otherwise The Sweep not

150
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:10,399
yes you were so many times I hear the crank was hitting each other okay

151
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:12,880
everyone just shut up so be a good team

152
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:18,000
go if what you've been trying isn't working try the opposite right it's not

153
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:23,199
Dennis puts down the pipe almost look very graceful and obviously through the

154
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:36,600
house play Nice Shot One deep breath and stay on your

155
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:41,600
feet Dennis come on you can do it oh Dennis is going to let his his

156
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:47,399
team's going to let him have it the same dire as last time so I went

157
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:47,399
9 ft good

158
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:53,800

159
00:12:51,839 --> 00:12:57,800
just pushes it I think I can't hear you he's saying I just don't get it right

160
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:04,720
there okay I would say that was a step in the right direction you

161
00:13:00,959 --> 00:13:05,680
know two-handed effort here it looks

162
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:11,079
like it's going to be okay though it's going to get there might be a little

163
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:15,360
weak sweepers it's on you guys this is

164
00:13:11,079 --> 00:13:17,959
it lus if you make this we win it all be

165
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:24,279
awesome I'm going to nail it

166
00:13:19,639 --> 00:13:27,839
h um uh sweep a bit sweep a bit we have

167
00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:30,160
a straight shot we're going to do

168
00:13:27,839 --> 00:13:34,560
it ah you could have gotten it in this is why

169
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:40,639
I fixate on the sweeping you let me down you let me down

170
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,000
and you didn't help at all you suck at aiming I suck at aiming that was going

171
00:13:42,199 --> 00:13:48,320
dead center too much and you

172
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:52,320
can't now you're saying I was yelling too much when you say you can't hear no

173
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:57,320
down there you're like oh don't sweep yeah that's right cuz I'm cuz I

174
00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:01,480
realized we could have won we could have won if these guys knew how to sweep a

175
00:13:59,199 --> 00:14:06,560
room you look at the slowmo replay and col's going like this oh we don't care

176
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:14,360
if it goes in whatever that's what you guys are like either exagger you guys

177
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:20,160
doesn't matter now okay I'm just glad we can all communicate open

178
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:28,600
uh-huh right like this is the my least favorite

179
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:33,160
sport you just guess you don't know you never know until you throw to someone

180
00:14:30,959 --> 00:14:37,320
and yell at you I'm not joking I really hate this

181
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:40,320
sport I want to go home I'm really

182
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:43,000
disappointed at the loss today I threw a

183
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:47,519
perfect shot we had every opportunity to win today and I got let down and you

184
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:52,360
know what I actually felt kind of bad in the first couple of ends when I had

185
00:14:49,959 --> 00:14:57,560
opportunities to to pull through and and I didn't make it but this was it this

186
00:14:54,600 --> 00:15:02,759
was crunch time this was the one moment and we let it slip

187
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:09,759
we could have captured it nerd sports taught me that I should

188
00:15:06,279 --> 00:15:13,000
stay the away from any sort of physical

189
00:15:09,759 --> 00:15:14,839
activity be it on the ice in a gym

190
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:20,680
wherever I just need to sit behind a desk and do business all right I'm a lot

191
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:27,360
more useful as a video editor than as a curling champion this is no surprise I'm

192
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:32,519
not built for this world I'm my feet are cold my my toes are freezing off I

193
00:15:30,279 --> 00:15:39,279
didn't fall on the ice at least I didn't fall uh some of them struggled a little

194
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:42,880
bit but uh after a couple ends they caught onto it I I think they could have

195
00:15:41,199 --> 00:15:46,639
done a bit better on communication and not just scream at each other every two

196
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:52,160
seconds I can kind of really see the appeal of doing sports in general like

197
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:55,120
this was a lot of fun all of these all the games that we've played have been

198
00:15:53,360 --> 00:16:01,480
really fun and like I kind of want to go out there and like play some more uh so

199
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:06,240
yeah Sports in spite of the momentum we

200
00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:11,560
carried into this match we still ended up with a defeat for the keyboard

201
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:15,079
Warriors so all that's left at this point is to thank the tardies for being

202
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:20,040
such wonderful Sports thank the langly curling Center and thank you the viewer

203
00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:23,600

204
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:30,360
and Colton we've had some really confusing emotions that I don't quite

205
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,360
