Joe Rogan - Marques Brownlee Explains Ultimate Frisby

No, my problem when I I play frisbee, so I take the watch off when I play because it's a wrist thing Oh constantly like you take play like like that frisbee disc Ultimate frisbee ultimate frisbee. Yeah, so I take it off every time I play and I know that's thousands of points that I'm missing out On what is disc golf versus ultimate frisbee? difference disc golf is what it sounds like there is You play 9 or 18 holes and you're throwing and walking up to it. Are you throwing a frisbee? Look at you there. Yeah, get an air son. So ultimate frisbee is different ultimate frisbee you can think of as kind of like Football slash basketball are you throwing that frisbee with the left and the right hand? Yes, mostly one hand sometimes you throw a little offhand. Why don't you switch the soccer to the left hand? Uh, it's I don't know. There's something about wearing something on my wrist of like throwing and catching that is just not you're so serious About you want to lose points? Yeah, I if I really had to wear it for a week to get oh, you're really playing competitive Yeah, so this is all I'm pretty sure this is all pro highlights, but you guys are pro There is professional ultimate frisbee now and you're playing professionally and I'm playing professional ultimate frisbee. Whoa This actually looks really fun. Yeah. Wow There's a lot of is that you? 2016 Eastern Conference defensive player of the year. Hey, yeah Baby Marquez gun getting some well, you have big hands that probably helps in this sport, right? Definitely. This is a fun play Look at this. I want Oh Snatch that guy that I just roofed scored like 15 points against us that game It's called which is a lot. I just roofed roofed roofed. Is that ultimate frisbee? There's all kinds of this. Yeah, there's all you can say that term for a common one is you skied someone but roofed I like because it's a disc and it's above his head. Yeah. Well, whenever you moss somebody What is that when you moss someone like like Randy Moss? Oh, but we're any muscle enough for football and his chest is that you're like at your like head level, right? That's what mossing someone looks like but there's other words for it. So you might roof someone I can't believe you're doing this without your your sensor on well, it's because you're so serious about it so many points Yeah, you're losing so many points Wow. Do you do any strength and conditioning to prepare for this? Yeah, so the season is a couple months long so yes, I am we're in the offseason now the season just ended so we're just Basically rebuilding I lose like 15 pounds during the season So I'm like putting that back on they get to like try out season and like February or March And then you just start yeah getting your throws back getting your cardio back and starting to work into it And then the season starts I would think that like leg strength and explosive power like doing box jumps and things along those lines It'd be huge for you. Yes So there's different like sort of like basketball or football. There's different sort of types of players You can sort of There's so many things to explain with Frisbee There's a throwers and catchers you might call them so handlers and receivers a lot of shorter faster people Who aren't as explosive but are really really quick are our handlers and they'll go around the squirrel around and they'll have Awesome strength and they'll be able to throw anywhere But they won't necessarily go downfield and try to go score on someone because they're not as tall or as explosive meanwhile a lot of Cutters or receivers are you can think of sort of like a wide receiver in football? They're going downfield in there the athletes going and making plays in the air and they're hard to guard downfield But they're not necessarily scrolling around throwing a lot They're mostly just catching dumping it off to another thrower and then going for some more yards again So if you watch a game unfold, it's very fluid You constantly switch between offense and defense like basketball You're scoring in an end zone and then the points over and then you pull again to start But as the points going on you kind of notice like certain players are mostly doing certain things like mostly throwing mostly getting the Disc back other people are mostly going downfield Threatening deep. There's a lot of terminology. How'd you get involved in this? The high school I went to Columbia high school invented this sport in 1968 Whoa, I had a very competitive team for the years that I was there and I made a lot of friends on the team started playing I played for the JV team for the first two years and then I played for the varsity team My second two years so it's pretty serious program and we played against other high schools around the country. We traveled we flew Wow, we played against we had rivals in Massachusetts and Connecticut and all these other schools and then we had the big Eastern Championship at the end of the high school season. That was that's what we all played for we went 11 straight State championships the two years that I played that's incredible. Yeah, I did not know that this is even a thing There's a rich history to it. Yeah, there's a 58. Yeah 50th anniversary this year. That is so crazy I would never guess you said when was ultimate frisbee invented? I was said like a couple months ago Yeah, yeah, well, it's so the pro league just is less than 10 years old So there's always been this sort of club you think of club soccer like area teams There's always been that so I've played for the New Jersey Garden State club team for much longer than I played for any pro teams And that's generally what players take the most seriously the club championships were this past weekend The New York area team beat the San Francisco area team to win Nationals Like that's generally what people care the most about but it's not very spectator friendly So what we've sort of created is The a UDL is the American Ultimate Disc League. It's a pro version of frisbee It's mainly the same sport, but a little bigger field and a little bit faster play just because they've shortened the stoppages and they have referees and everything now and There's selling tickets and selling merch and jerseys and and like Broadcasting games and they have a pro championship at the end of the year So that's that's been like a whole new thing for frisbee players to pay attention to and I've I've played for a pro team As well as past couple years and it's been pretty fun
