0:00 Woah. Dude, that was like 20 times. No, ████ no. That's like 30, dude. I guess that's Wow. Shut the ████ up. >> Yeah, see that? Boom. Wow. See? This video is called the longest rock skip ever, so it probably is. And it's on House of Highlights. And look, only 2.5k. People don't give a ████ [Music] So, did you guys hear about there are there's a a world stone skimming championship? How many skips? >> stone skimming Yeah. Across a pond? I think that the most I've ever done is like eight to 10. You've done 10? >> That's a lot, dude. >> I've done three. Cuz you you if you hit it enough, it goes dush dush dush dush dush dush dush dush >> Yeah, like rolls on the water.
0:50 >> I've seen videos of that, but I've never done it. You got to find the right rock and then right surface. So, that's kind of the problem here. There's a massive cheating scandal happening at the world's stone skimming championships. What they do? They ████ wax the rocks or something? >> on it? So, more than 2,200 people from 27 countries go to this event on the island of Easdale off the west coast of Scotland, so Joe probably knows everything about it. Yep. Cuz it's like Hannah's from England. Scottish. >> Okay, yeah, thank you. Uh so, the rules state that the stones have to come from naturally occurring um island rock, right? But, some were found to have gotten been ground into a suspiciously circular shape to help them bounce on the water They're machining Yeah, they're like ████ sanding it or some ████ in the hotel room. >> So, people be coming with their own bucket of rocks? Yeah, so you can choose your own stones. That's not That's all legit, but these people were messing
1:42 with the stones, tampering with the stones. No, that's not fair. You got to get it from the lake that you found it at. Wherever the competition is, it's like Hey, use that stone. Pick it up right there. So, each competitor is allowed to do three, they call them skims, and the stones have to bounce at least twice. So, Bar would probably be be bored like instantly. Cuz like you'd do 10 skips. >> Well, I I my my first warm-ups are usually twos and threes. Dang, dude. I didn't know I had to sit with a legend here. So, this guy um this guy named the Tossmaster I'm not kidding. They call him the Tossmaster. He told um he's told like BBC, he's like, "The judges kept on hearing about how people were messing with the stones and they were doctoring the stones. And like
2:33 it it was shaped so perfectly circular that it didn't really make any logical sense when they were looking at it. And they just didn't really do anything about it at the time, so they um they basically busted a bunch of people who ended up ended up saying, "Yep, we cheated. Our bad." And then they're disqualified. A bunch of people? >> Yeah. That's nice of them to admit it. Do you put it on your carry-on or do you check in a bag of stones? You can put it on your carry-on. Oh, isn't it too heavy? Uh-uh, you put it in a little satchel. How many stones do you need for like how many rounds? >> three skims. So, everyone's bringing three or more probably. So, if you want to play like, let's say two times, then maybe six. >> Damn. It's probably like in in basketball, they have hella basketballs. They only have one per game, but they have a whole rack of them. Oh, yeah, see? So, why doesn't the event people
3:24 supply the stones? Cuz when you go play tennis, right? Doesn't the event people You like the tennis players like Serena Williams don't have a tennis ball in her pocket. I think she I think they they supply those, yeah. Yeah, but I think that those are all manufactured. I don't think that they're manufacturing the stones. They're finding them from the island. >> Earth, right? >> the referee should pre-grab the stones and then okay, everyone has 5 seconds to grab three of them. Yep. And there's already like 100 in the middle. >> Isn't it like kind of silly though because if they've been doing that for a while, then that means the next time they do it those fixed stones are the ones they will find at the lake. Dang, dude. Like they'll find at the bottom. Well, yeah, cuz they threw them in the lake. >> Unless he's diving in like a nerd. Not my stone.
4:14 He goes to fetch it after? >> Yeah. What about those stones you get at Home Depot, the one that looks like they always use at the Japanese gardens and ████ >> Can't use it. Got to be from the naturally occurring rock. Oh. On the island. receipt on the stone. >> And by the way, this island is so small there's only 60 people live there. 60? 60. I wonder if they are annoyed by this event. No, they they like it cuz it raises a lot of money for the It probably fuels their entire year economically. They're probably Yeah, they probably can't It's like Christmas day for them. Or it's probably like ████ week for them. Woah. It's like Palm Springs locals when when Coachella comes to town. Yes. I don't know there's that many ████ nerds out there that would want to compete that I Nerds ████ I thought this was just like that. Nerds are pretty horny. You just played with this with your friends when you're like going camping. I didn't know people would take
5:05 it that seriously. Yeah, apparently they they raise like 15 G's a year doing this thing. You You guys ever boned some stone groupies? I can't say I have, no. No, I mean like if you go to a stone bone fest, right? After the show, if you're first place >> killed it, yeah. >> Yeah, all these all these hoes up in Scotland are like Like, "Woah, you're you're really sexy." I think their ████ are dry. I think at these stone ones, you only attract dude groupies. They're like, "Dude, that was so cool. How'd you do it so many times?" It's crazy to think that stuff like this still exists after modern sports. Right? You know what I mean? Cuz there's like the NFL. Why would you watch this ████ NBA, even WNBA sounds way better than this ████ >> You know, David like went deep into this and his like roommates Yeah, during COVID. Like to compete? Well, they would watch videos and try to
5:56 like skip stones. I think they were just right there right before going to to some type of event. Dude, COVID was hard on all of us, dude. We would go on a hike and then like they they just stop and they're like, "All right." And then him and like Khalif and everyone would get stones and they'll just start throwing them. I'm like, "Wow, you guys are really good." >> Stone throwing is fun when you're not taking it seriously like a competition. But, they would watch videos and like it's it's fun in the moment. >> It's fun like as fun as like feeding ducks is fun for like 10 minutes. >> Yeah, I don't watch videos of feeding ducks after. >> No, I'm just I'm like, "Okay, I'm good. I got >> Videos of feeding ducks probably really entertaining. Over stone throwing. Actually, pull up a stone throwing video. What if we look at it and we're like They showed me. You see the guys that have high scores, it does look insane. If that thing just travels like it travels to the point where the camera don't see it no more. It's just gone. Need a drone to fly in.
6:48 Yeah. That'd be a sick shot. >> turning corners and stuff. That would be a dope shot, huh? Yeah, if like ESPN shot it and then you have a whole narrative storyline. >> Imagine the ESPN like drone flyer. I was just thinking like it's like a weather >> Woah. Dude, that was like 20 times. No, ████ no. That's like 30, dude. I guess that's Wow. Shut the ████ up. >> Yeah, see that? Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. >> Wow. See? How do you even count the last 20 of them? You can't. You got to video it, dude. This video is called the longest rock skip ever, so it probably is. And it's on House of Highlights. And look, only 2.5k. People don't give a ████ People don't give a ████ about this fool, dude. 5-year-old me thinking that five skips was a world record facts,
7:38 dude. Same. Same here. I'd rather watch someone dunk. [Laughter] Yeah, I I think bird watching is more interesting than this. Yeah, but then add betting to it. Now we're talking. Betting makes everything more fun, more interesting. And serve alcohol at the river. Absolutely. What does Nick Bunn think? Didn't say anything. Huh.
