there I was covered in Bologna on the side of the road how did that get here
you ask well for that to make any sense we're gonna have to go back a bit
so a few weeks ago I was practicing frisbee in the house something my mother
always warned me not to do but I did it anyway and then the worst thing ever
happened thank you
[Music] oh no this was not good now for most
people this wouldn't be a problem but I just so happen to suffer from a
condition known as a height deficiency AKA I'm sure and man the timing of this
conundrum could not have been worse you see I was supposed to be practicing
because in seven short days I had an ultimate frisbee tournament I needed to
get my frisbee back oh if only I could jump higher I fire and that's when it
hit me if I could just add another 13 inches on my jump I could grab that
frisbee no problem I knew what I had to do I had to get to work now what makes a
person jump higher hmm shoes the right pair of shoes can
increase your performance by well a lot now although the shoes I'm wearing help
me run really fast they're not optimized for jumping so I gotta find me some
shoes that are I can make shoes for cheaper than that
definitely all I need is a pair of shoes to work with and then I need to figure
out a way to make them bouncy there's only two things I know of that are
bouncy enough to lift me off the ground and that's a pogo stick in Jimmy
Neutron's gone and considering I'm not a genius I'm gonna have to go with the
pogo stick I need two of these and foreign
[Music] let's see okay oh yeah these are gonna
be good now these things are super bouncy but the problem here is that I
need to use my use my hand and if I'm using my hands then I can't reach the
Frisbee so I need to turn these into shoes so I don't need my hands
when I was about however old I am in this picture I jumped on my pogo stick 1
367 consecutive times pretty impressive right wrong yeah I thought it was pretty
cool too until I found out that this guy who clearly thinks his pogo stick is a
motorcycle jumped on his pogo stick over 200 000 times making me look like a
total Scrub but lucky for me I only had to jump once to reach my frisbee but in
order to do that I need to finish these shoes that are nowhere near done all
right let's see how this does here it goes
okay this wasn't ideal but I could just do it over again with a thicker piece of
wood that way I don't oh that was that was just my stomach I I
know it sounded just like a monster that had been like keeping captive in my room
for six weeks but it was just my stomach okay
round two let's go [Music]
okay this is better but I still need to use my hands I need a way to like strap
these to my legs or something this was proving itself to be harder than
capturing a monster from an alternate Dimension not that I'd know anything
about that but it was uh it was it was getting tough it was it was it was very
difficult okay it's officially time to try these out
um I'm not gonna lie they're pretty sketchy and I trust them about as much
as gas station sushi so I I'm pretty nervous yeah nervous was an
understatement you see that face that's my really nervous face okay now standing
up was extremely difficult but staying up staying up was pretty much impossible
nope nope nope nope these are these are dangerous these are dangerous these are
not gonna work every idea that I had just turned out to
be horrible and it seemed like no matter what I tried nothing would work I needed
a new plan I needed to dig deep [Music]
use I was totally out of ideas and at this point I didn't think I'd ever get
my frisbee back I guess I'll just have to wait till this summer when I hit my
next growth spurt [Music]
Jake we've been looking for you who are you I'm you from the future listen you
can't give up dude it's fine I can wait until I hit my growth spurt this summer
dude you're 29 years old you're not getting any taller in fact I've seen
your future and you actually get shorter don't worry about it man you're still
handsome really I mean it depends on who you ask I gotta go wait isn't there like
some sort of advice you're gonna give me about the future uh yeah
watch out for Lamborghinis but one thing's for sure if I wasn't
gonna give up I was gonna need some help and I think I know exactly who to ask
[Music] stop here
oh perfect dude I need your help no no more favors man I I can't do it but I'm
trying to build jumping shoes so I can get my frisbee back
fine there's something in there that'll help but listen you gotta go do it
because I've been banished if I go back in there yo what exactly am I looking
for you'll know it when you see it okay
this [Music]
hey purple dude what exactly did you do to get banished
it was just a beautiful day and me and my buddy green dude were on our way to
go get some bologna sandwiches and I made a horrible judgment call
[Music] let's go but there's an automobile
coming okay
have enough time and it was all my fault and when I went back to the High Council
they were like yo where's green dude and I was like I don't know and they were
like well you better go find him so I left and I came back with a replacement
and they did not like that they were all like what that's not green dude you
clearly are responsible for his disappearance so you're banished and I
carry that guilt with me every day dude that's not your fault come on you're not
a bad guy AI [Music]
[Applause] [Music]
dude you gotta get out of there ah you got it dude this is just a bouncy ball
you needed something bouncy right well he had a point this ball was really
bouncy and at this point I was willing to try anything but it's gonna take a
lot more than this single ball to make my shoes bounce yeah I was gonna need a
lot more okay I can get like a hundred bouncy balls for like twelve dollars bye
but I was stopped dead in my tracks I had so many different credit cards how
was I supposed to know which one to use you should use kudos
where did you come from that's a great question Kudos is a smart wallet browser
extension that helps maximize your credit card rewards by telling you which
one of your credit cards you should use at checkout wait for real yeah saves the
average user like 750 bucks a year do I have to like give them my credit card
numbers you don't have to but they have the same security all the major Banks
use so if you do it's totally great and they also have this really cool card
Explorer tool that helps you find credit cards that are best for you and your
preference yo you guys talking about Kudos apparently definitely nice okay
what do I gotta do well lucky for you our sponsor Kudos is giving out a 10
Amazon gift card towards Black Friday to the first 1000 us users who use the link
in the description code Jake underscore BF at checkout and make your first
autofill purchase and boom signed in and oh wow look Kudos is telling me that I
can save 70 cents on this purchase if I use my Prime card
[Music] so according to science bouncy balls
bounce and if I put enough bouncy balls on my shoes I too should be able to
bounce now although that sounds good in theory in practice it's a different
story you see bouncy balls don't stick to shoes very well but I wasn't giving
up that easy purple dude showed me that bouncy ball for a reason and I had to
figure it out dude I got it what narrator explain if I cut all the bouncy
balls in half they should stick to the shoe very well and if they stick to the
shoe very well then I'll have a super sturdy bouncy Shoe Right
this makes me jump worse I had no bouncy shoes and I had no hope and there my
frisbee sat with no way for me to get to it I couldn't believe that purple dude
would send me on this wild goose chase I wish I never threw my frisbee up there
to begin with you know maybe this is just a sign maybe I'm not cut out for
all this maybe I need to learn when it's time to give up I mean it's just a
frisbee right right oh
foreign yeah so anyway that's how I got here hey
you all right man [Music]
yeah ah thanks um sorry about your sandwich stand oh man it's okay it's all
right yeah after a fall like that you must be
Mighty hungry oh eat up yeah eat your grub I don't I'm gonna eat I'm not grown
boy you need your strength come on yeah that's some nice juicy baloney
[Music] you're not gonna believe this someone
told me I had to look out for Lambert I woke up with a killer headache but not
nearly as bad as the headache that this bouncy ball was giving me it was
entrusted to me for a reason and I had to figure oh come on
man this was ridiculous ever since I got this bouncy ball it's just been problem
after problem I wish I never got this thing what
[Music] what is this
oh man okay maybe I spoke too soon of course purple dude wouldn't steer me in
the wrong direction this is gonna change everything
I knew exactly what I had to do oh God too close okay that's better I needed
Springs Big Springs Springs that would launch me into the air so I could get my
frisbee once and for all Springs like these oh yeah these are gonna be perfect
and I knew exactly what I had to do I was gonna sandwich two of these Springs
in between some boards and strap a shoe on top of it giving me a super sick
jumping shoe all right I got one down uh I should probably try it out yeah so I
tried it out and uh oh that's a broken ankle waiting to
happen it definitely wasn't the safest design so I was gonna have to come up
with something else all right I got it instead of having two Springs on each
foot I'm gonna have four Springs on each foot giving me some stability but I only
have enough springs for one shoe so
hey why are you always throwing my packages man man I'm throwing
everybody's packages I'm fighting off demons who hurt you I hurt me you see it
was just a beautiful day I was just out doing my daily deliveries and everything
was perfect until out of nowhere I just I just didn't see him and I carry
that guilt with me every single day wow I I got somebody you really gotta meet
but I if it makes you feel any better man you can throw my packages anytime I
appreciate that man [Music]
no I thought this was the home stretch I thought this was gonna be said and done
and I would have my frisbee but due to a mathematical error I was hit with an
unexpected problem so basically these Springs are rated for 95 pounds and if I
have four of these on each foot that equals 380 pounds per foot and I'm only
200 pounds so that's why I'm not getting any bounce all right let's order the
right Springs this time man I've made a lot of mistakes but you know this whole
process taught me something sometimes there's things in life that we just
can't change like losing a friend or someone you love or the fact that I'm
too short or that I completely forgot I have a frisbee game tomorrow or getting
hit by a car or hitting someone with your car the point is you can't change
the past but what we can do is learn from it if we just put the work in make
good choices and keep pushing forward you create a better life we'll create a
better future because although we can't change what happened
we can change what's going to happen [Music]
[Music] these things were sick I felt like a
superhero jumping around on these things I've never felt so tall in my life and
these easily added like an extra foot and a half on my Max jump
these things are better than any moon shoe I've ever had as a kid they're
super stable I got all the ankle support I feel really comfortable on these
things now I could have jumped around on these things all day they were so fun
but as you know I had very important work to do it's time to get that frisbee
[Music] we're ready for anything
I put in the work I built the shoes it was my destiny to retrieve this frisbee
[Music] foreign
[Music] in fact he played horribly being Collins
instead of practicing he spent the whole week building weird jumping shoes maybe
