Ari Shaffir on Tom Segura's Dunk Injury

I have been hearing some American stereotypes, my Scottish friend and some Ecuadorian friends. And they're like, they make people go like, oh no. So like we can't see it. We're in the forest, you know, can't see the trees. Number one. Yes. Americans like to wear free bank t-shirts. Free bank t-shirts? The stuff, MBNA. No other country will you promote a bank just because they gave you a free shirt. Start looking around. You'll see it. Here's another one. Americans love to comment on the beauty of a sunset while you're watching it. Nobody else does that. Everyone's watching it. Man, that's beautiful. And then they go, yeah, we know, dude. American, shut up and enjoy it. Here's the last one. Americans rush in to assist in a situation that they have no experience with. They'll see a bird hurt on the beach and like, get it in a box. We have to take it. It's like, do you know anything about this? I like sort of how Burt moved Tom's arm when he broke it. Yeah, absolutely. He touched it. Did he really? He was like, let me move it. Picked it up and put it over there. Probably fucked it up for life. Oh, jelly legs. Jelly legs, Segura. Dude, it didn't make sense. He just came down. He didn't even like, it wasn't like you see NBA players that come down. Yeah. Like Conor McGregor stepped wrong. You see it snap. No, that's not what happened. Whatever. Segura starts to jump and then it was like he's cursed by a witch and he's just like, what is that? He just went jelly. There was no impact. No, he blew out his patella tendon. He blew out everything. Everything. Like, what is that? His arm broke when he landed on his arm. And the legs, everything broke. Yeah. Well, what happened was apparently he thinks he fucked it up the day before because he was jumping in his office. They were trying to touch the ceiling in the office like this ceiling. Yeah. Trying to touch the ceiling and he felt something weird in his knee, but he didn't think too much of it. And then the next day they were playing basketball. They were doing this dunk contest and he dunked a couple of times. On a motor rim. And then one time he really loaded up and his patella tendon just blew out. So on the leap up, his legs blew apart. It gave way. Blew apart. Wow. Yeah, his knee just went like this. It's so crazy looking. Yeah, it's wild. He doesn't. Yeah, it's always on the come down. He went on the way up. Mm hmm. I heard a doctor say... Is that him? Oh my God, that's hilarious. That's great. Of course he's making fucking merch on it. I got nobody cashes it more than Tom. Hilarious. He, I heard a doctor once a long time ago say in your 40s is when you have, you do explosive movements and you don't have explosive strength. And that's where you get in trouble. Interesting. Still trying to make ski jumps and you should have stopped at 31. Right. But at 60 you're not trying to make those jumps anymore. That makes sense. Yeah. Or you just keep lifting weights and don't be a pussy. Yeah, you're an outlier. Yeah. Yeah. You just got to know what your body's capable of doing and the only way you know is to make it do a lot of shit. So you know what it could do all the time. Most people just stop. That's what happens. Completely, yeah. It's the grind. It's all about the grind. Like most people like they get to a point that I don't want to lift any more weights. I'm just going to get on this elliptical machine, listen to a book on Dave. Just go Buster Douglas. Yeah. Just be like. Just fatten up. Just fatten up. Layback. That happens to a lot of fighters. Ricky Hatton got huge. Really? Oh my god he got huge. NFL players too. He might have lost weight now but he got real big. A lot of guys get real big when they just, they just don't want to do anything anymore. I get it. They don't want to be, yeah. I get it. And you form a habit of that and then you just stay on it.
