WEBVTT 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:06.080 welcome to the Langley curling Center and welcome of course to nerd Sports 00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:12.320 where the keyboard Warriors fresh off of a couple of winds are going to be taking 00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:14.960 on the tardies I mean what are they late 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 00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:24.240 to rock curling 00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:31.720 jokes is there something wrong with my hair sure all right ask me questions I 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.160 I've only ever seen curling at the Olympics and like honestly it doesn't 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 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 00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:51.840 ice and see how far they go sorry curling people in of the world I figure 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 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 00:00:57.239 --> 00:01:00.480 too far 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 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 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:19.280 medal from Junior Nationals I'm Tyler I play Skip and uh sometimes I call a 00:01:16.759 --> 00:01:19.280 pretty good 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:27.360 game I have seen cling copts on TV and I 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 00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:37.479 finesse and getting your rock to the 00:01:35.240 --> 00:01:41.880 spot I believe it is the sport that's playing behind me with the sweeping and 00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:45.680 I think I'm probably going to be the sweeping dude 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 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:15.360 it now maybe okay okay I guess I just go just 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 00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:23.680 go that was you know the right idea maybe can I just can you settle an 00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:28.760 argument for us really quick absolutely Bank shots permitted or no no sorry I 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 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:38.120 you should have figured it out immediately no you should not have need 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.120 that's a viable strategy in 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:41.800 pool 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 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 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 00:02:54.920 --> 00:03:00.800 that helps keep the friction down and you you may not you may not touch the 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:05.480 thing right just I'm verif I'm making sure maybe 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 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 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 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:24.040 Dennis you're go over there Dennis Dennis over here come on Dennis there we 00:03:20.920 --> 00:03:25.640 go there we go look at how easy this is 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 00:03:27.200 --> 00:03:33.040 doing something no it's not doing anything you're supposed to it's 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 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:43.280 icea slightly sweep I'm just asking if 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 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 00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:56.360 the sport a little bit you know 4 minutes to learn how to 00:03:53.720 --> 00:04:01.519 curl call it hello curling fans and welcome inside 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:06.959 George in Recreation Center in Langley BC as a keyboard Warriors continue their 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:12.519 nerd Sports tour and try their hand at curling today as they take on the 2016 00:04:10.040 --> 00:04:18.160 Canadian Junior men's curling bronze medalists in team tardy I am Brandon 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:23.040 Asel alongside Tyler dinwoody and Tyler after doing so well in volleyball 00:04:20.280 --> 00:04:26.680 lacrosse dodgeball and hockey I guess the Nerds figure hey let's stay on the 00:04:24.880 --> 00:04:29.720 ice and try some curling well Brandon the key difference I see tonight between 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 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 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 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 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:51.919 their black uniforms looking sharp they are the guys that look like they know 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:55.160 what they're doing and we have the keyboard Warriors and their familiar 00:04:53.880 --> 00:04:58.960 what do you want to call it fluorescent orange red red with yellow numbers they 00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:03.479 kind of resemble maybe McDonald's volunteers at some sort of kid's 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:07.400 birthday party always easy to spot Taran he's worn helmets in almost everything 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:10.639 he must fancy himself a real smart guy if he wants to protect his head that 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 00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:19.759 know what's happening and we got Dennis is hung 00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:24.720 leading things off here with the rock this should be an interesting technique 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.120 and form um try try and put he looks 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 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 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 00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:47.840 it on by this oh that was too fast don't sweep it 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:49.600 don't sweep it I can do that yeah let 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 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 00:05:55.960 --> 00:06:01.479 playing on the other side that would be a decent guard Stone all right Dennis 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 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 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:17.199 going to lay this one open see the spin beautifully done Tyler tardy the skip 00:06:15.080 --> 00:06:22.840 he's been curling since 2008 and they put a nice one in there early 00:06:20.280 --> 00:06:27.000 go denn you need to curve it do the curvy curb but go like 00:06:29.880 --> 00:06:34.919 yeah okay Colton get up here Colton denn 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 00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:44.479 there what do we do going 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 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 00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:56.640 what happens if we do wow they're good that's a that's look 00:06:54.960 --> 00:07:01.479 at that 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 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 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 00:07:15.599 --> 00:07:20.360 trying to figure out what's going through his head that he thinks he's one 00:07:18.599 --> 00:07:23.919 of the foremost authorities within their group because he's terrible you want me 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:30.080 to do okay don't do anym get that what are you doing oh 00:07:27.039 --> 00:07:33.000 that's good is I of you go you're just 00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:33.000 upset you don't mean 00:07:36.039 --> 00:07:41.919 that went past the motion it really is 00:07:39.960 --> 00:07:46.199 there not much friction on here I mean no loss is a relative term person 00:07:44.520 --> 00:07:51.000 standing here calls the shots on sweeping right yes okay well next time 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 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 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 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 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:12.440 handicap time what if they bring it on you're going to put weights on your 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 00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:23.360 giving them handicaps that are a secret Advantage I don't know horse head masks 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 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 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:39.000 bathroom which I actually kind of wish I got to wear cuz I'm pretty 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:42.279 cold uh I can barely see no question 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:45.680 about it their vision is a lot more 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:47.680 obstructed that's right yeah now we T 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 00:08:50.760 --> 00:08:56.839 here for team tardy and the first stone looks a little 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 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:07.600 the one shot that we try to do every 00:09:04.920 --> 00:09:12.720 time all right that was a bit fast Denis that was pretty fast 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 00:09:58.959 --> 00:10:06.680 good head on you the block it up there 00:10:02.640 --> 00:10:09.600 any better no way pressure's on line is 00:10:06.680 --> 00:10:13.560 here Dennis is the most uncoordinated and they're all 156 lb wow if he could 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 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 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:28.360 okay so was I pretty close on both of those shots you super close only that 00:10:25.079 --> 00:10:30.440 much off both of them okay so you're 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:59.040 even my fault like was I on his line I didn't 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 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:08.240 was it his fault or mine it was close 50 00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:11.000 wow you guys are totally unhelpful all right all right let's go again you guys 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:16.200 are getting another handicap for that attitude I'm calling it now next end 00:11:14.079 --> 00:11:20.240 wins and you guys are going to be playing with 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:20.240 these 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:26.880 H good luck with 00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:29.680 that really crazy right 00:11:26.880 --> 00:11:33.839 now everything was pretty manageable until we got the horse heads now with 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 00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:41.560 just going to be pretty difficult all around now they're at the point now 00:11:39.760 --> 00:11:44.680 where they should barely be able to move let alone play we got to get our 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 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 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 00:11:55.720 --> 00:12:02.920 to stop sweeping whatever man and don't hit each others otherwise The Sweep not 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:10.399 yes you were so many times I hear the crank was hitting each other okay 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:12.880 everyone just shut up so be a good team 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 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:23.199 Dennis puts down the pipe almost look very graceful and obviously through the 00:12:27.880 --> 00:12:36.600 house play Nice Shot One deep breath and stay on your 00:12:34.160 --> 00:12:41.600 feet Dennis come on you can do it oh Dennis is going to let his his 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 00:12:44.680 --> 00:12:47.399 9 ft good 00:12:48.680 --> 00:12:53.800 jnis just no follow through whatsoever 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 00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:04.720 there okay I would say that was a step in the right direction you 00:13:00.959 --> 00:13:05.680 know two-handed effort here it looks 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 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:15.360 weak sweepers it's on you guys this is 00:13:11.079 --> 00:13:17.959 it lus if you make this we win it all be 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:24.279 awesome I'm going to nail it 00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:27.839 h um uh sweep a bit sweep a bit we have 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:30.160 a straight shot we're going to do 00:13:27.839 --> 00:13:34.560 it ah you could have gotten it in this is why 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:40.639 I fixate on the sweeping you let me down you let me down 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 00:13:42.199 --> 00:13:48.320 dead center too much and you 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 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 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 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 00:14:04.040 --> 00:14:14.360 if it goes in whatever that's what you guys are like either exagger you guys 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:20.160 doesn't matter now okay I'm just glad we can all communicate open 00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:28.600 uh-huh right like this is the my least favorite 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:33.160 sport you just guess you don't know you never know until you throw to someone 00:14:30.959 --> 00:14:37.320 and yell at you I'm not joking I really hate this 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:40.320 sport I want to go home I'm really 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:43.000 disappointed at the loss today I threw a 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:47.519 perfect shot we had every opportunity to win today and I got let down and you 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 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 00:14:54.600 --> 00:15:02.759 was crunch time this was the one moment and we let it slip 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:09.759 we could have captured it nerd sports taught me that I should 00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:13.000 stay the away from any sort of physical 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:14.839 activity be it on the ice in a gym 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 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 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 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 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 00:15:41.199 --> 00:15:46.639 done a bit better on communication and not just scream at each other every two 00:15:44.680 --> 00:15:52.160 seconds I can kind of really see the appeal of doing sports in general like 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 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 00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:06.240 yeah Sports in spite of the momentum we 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:11.560 carried into this match we still ended up with a defeat for the keyboard 00:16:09.560 --> 00:16:15.079 Warriors so all that's left at this point is to thank the tardies for being 00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:20.040 such wonderful Sports thank the langly curling Center and thank you the viewer 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:23.600 for watching nerd Sports we've laughed we've cried and in the case of Dennis 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:30.360 and Colton we've had some really confusing emotions that I don't quite 00:16:25.680 --> 00:16:30.360 understand see you guys later
