0:00 if my toxic take is actually right, what's my toxic take? that one disc golf clip where the dude hits a hole in one from like 200 yards away. it's not not impressive. it's obviously a little bit impressive. but it's also the way people were reacting like it was a once in a generation sports feat kind of blew me away. i was like you could just...
0:23 i mean, he just threw the frisbee. like i'm not trying to say that it's not the best way he could have thrown the frisbee, but it just doesn't. shouldn't they be hitting holes in one like 80% of the time? all they do is throw the frisbee, man. okay, i throw, believe it or not, even though i'm left handed, i throw a frisbee right handed. why have we now changed bodies when i press the button? new character? no, not new character. okay, one second, man.
0:56 you're already ticking me off. right handed. nationality none. this can be changed later. country what is going why is everything double tapping when i put it in? they had me acting like tom hanks in the terminal, man. they had me with no nationality. daa whoa! watch out! why don't hockey players just score every time? bro, cause there's a goalie. there's no goalie in disc golf. disc golf is simple but demanding. throw from the tee to the basket.
1:35 step onto the t and learn the controls. okay. use the left stick to look around. aim at the landing zone ahead. confirmed. pull the right stick back to adjust the power. flick it forward to throw the disc. keep trying until you land inside the landing zone. holy shit. wait, that would have been the aura would have been crazy, right? the aura would have been insane if i had actually thrown the hole in one. and we were mighty close, might i say. we were mighty close.
2:13 some shots need a different release angle. flick the stick diagonally along the same angle to make a throw. because i need to go around the tree. i see what you're saying. you need me to go around the tree? ooh, caught a nice little air pocket there. wait, this might be peak. 60, 64 meters! okay, and then you gotta put it in. pull back, then flick the right stick forward. shanked it, guys. i'm sorry about that one. run up to it. boom. nailed it. get it stuck in the damn chains.
3:02 switch to forehand by pressing x. i think i hit y. what the hell? it got mighty windy. adjust angle and flick the stick forward to make a forehand throw. this is my putter though. mid range fairway? i don't know, where is the landing zone? science has not figured out where the landing zone is yet. oh, it's oh, oh, i see it now. okay, hang on. skip this. this is obviously bogus. put me on my mid range. this might work.
3:52 you know what? maybe they were right, bro. maybe you use your putter like all the time in disc golf. that's your backhand, homie. is that true? switch to forehand mode by pressing x. that's why. my bad, guys. am i? i feel like i'm freaking out because all he does is flip the disc. like he's not doing anything else. he's just flipping the disc around in his finger. he's throwing it differently.
4:42 he's just flipping the disc, man. well now the putter is obviously not to play here. hit x, not y. nintendo switch controller, bro! i could hit it with a side step. i could hit it with a standstill. obviously we want to go mid range. backhand is... you know what? maybe it's time to just do one of those. maybe it's time to hit the f button. oh, it just doesn't... it's one of those pc games where when you're controller... it's like you need a controller but then the controller doesn't work right.
5:18 using forehand, the disc will fade in the other direction. you can't do forehands with a putter. putter has different throw styles. they really complicated throwing a frisbee for no reason, huh? it's not a frisbee, it's a disc. hey, now we're freaking talking. skittered right in there. okay, right there. switch to spin putt by pressing x. mission failed. mission failed, because that's... apparently that's y. that's gotta be straddle.
6:21 pull back, then flick the stick forward to make a putt. it literally couldn't be easier than that. but that's no longer a spin, okay? this is a spin. well, that's horrible. that's a horrible shot. you will get a penalty stroke? pull back and then flick the stick forward to make a putt. look at the bottom right. the bottom what do you want me to say, man? what do you want me to say? you're not in spin putt mode? alright, this is this spin putt mode or is this straddle?
7:09 or is this pure? this is push, this is a putt push, this is a standstill backhand, this is a putt straddle. so how does one get to a spin? because obviously we were able to do it at one point. it says backhand should say spin. is straddle spin spin? apparently not. it was like it was a perfect putt but so i can only use the keyboard
7:49 to set up my shot. wait, this is actually good now. i can use the keyboard to set up my shot and then the controller to shoot it like it's steel battalion. nice workout there. claim your well earned starter set. higher speed discs require more power to throw but can go longer distances. okay, cool. there it is. the pure zero medium putt and approach with a 64 degree latitude or is that the brand? do you have a different controller? i'm so steam? i don't want to make gabe an enemy.
8:29 one of the worst things they ever did was in 2012 you plug a controller into a usb port it works with every single game. at some point they came out with big picture mode and the whole point was that you can now play anything with the controller and now every single time you plug in a controller and launch a game it's like you're at the casino of input and you're like that it like the buttons are inverted it doesn't work anymore it thinks your switch controller is a playstation controller it thinks your xbox controller is a keyboard and mouse
9:00 i don't f**k with big picture mode, let's put it that way. okay, watch this. you pull it back. i mean we want to land it like right there. literally perfect. should have trusted myself a little bit more to be honest with you. tap it in. there we go, minus one already. and then of course the a button is the b button but the x button is the x button. okay, now this time the wind is one to one meter per second in the other direction. this time we need our guidelines because we're going to be curving it in this general direction.
9:49 we made a grievous error 78 meters away with the tree right in front of us. you know what? this might be a push situation. way, way. he's a genius and then a perfect throw. dude, i can live with that. it's probably a par 3, right? at close range you just need to tap it in. winds don't sound too damn calm to me, bro. okay, we want to get it a little bit
10:41 a little bit fricked on the angle lad you want to land it don't land it in the basketball court those guys are chads you might never get it back perfect throw not off the fence oh that was pretty solid that was pretty solid so far so good man is this part of disc golf is that you don't know where it's going well also why why is my disc curving so much man can i press down on the keyboard to know
11:26 you know where i'm going here? whole overview. damn. 140 meters away. through the foliage. right bumper adds a run for power? wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. so it does, so it does. perfect run up, perfect throw. and this is a par four. no sweat. there is always one chatter who's played the game before. very appreciative.
12:21 something like this with a perfect freaking flick right into the oh the swamp! i should have lowered the power on this one. i was using my iron when i should have used the wedge. i mean to me this seems like a perfect straddle spin opportunity because you just want to it's only 21 meters away bro. oh i've shanked it. my bad. that's not the default. poor craftsman blames his tools. now we're talking. okay check this out.
13:08 started watching you recently you got me fully addicted to sls. i'm already around 40 hours really sodium lauryl sulfate. i think you got me confused with somebody else i'm actually the number one sodium lauryl sulfate hater because it gives me sores in my mouth that's one that like i i always look for a toothpaste without that if i'm ever buying a whitening toothpaste i have to get one that's sls free unfortunately
13:36 but if it works for you, more power to you. i can't disagree with that. thank you, thank you. wow! i actually might be the goat, man. of disc golf anyway. it really is just throwing a frisbee. who knew? is there a way to skitter a frisbee? not a putt, not a putt. it's a disc. whatever, man. i said what i freaking said.
14:22 my whole life i've thought, isn't it just throwing a disc? and then i get the sim and it turns out, it turns out i was exactly right to be honest with you. it does play a little bit like a mini game from, you said dark cloud 2 which i have not played except for the demo on the official playstation magazine demo disc. it does, it feels a little bit like a gta mini game for sure. that's my bad, i didn't account for the topography. just one eagle would really hit the spot. 152 meters away
15:13 literally like through through the entire forest. i mean how this one you got to invert this one you got to be you got to press f on the keyboard so you can switch to your forehand and then let's aim it up a little bit let's get a little bit more height on this beast and then put absolutely no angle on it whatsoever let the neutral angle carry us deep into the thicket and we straight through
15:53 it's gonna be tough. it's gonna be tough to get it straight through for a lesser golfer. that literally not even a problem because we'll just switch to, oh we don't even need to. i was gonna say we switch to a spin shot but it's not even necessary bro. what is this bullshit? awesome at close range you just need to tap it in man. 162 meters okay. this one i'm learning this is where you want to run up. whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! i didn't set my angle yet.
16:44 okay, set your angle, switch to the forehand, aim a little bit lower, then throw in the salty run up. wait, this is actually a beautiful game. the marriage of elegance and power i've been looking for. aim a little high because the wind's gonna pull it down. aim a little low because the trees are gonna pull it down. that was pretty good. what do you mean bronze? i shot like a minus five on nine holes. holy shit. new core? honestly, they do have online. i was getting ready to take it online.
17:41 oh, the last course was a bronze course. of course it was a bronze course. i'll tell you what you do here. switch to your freaking forehand and then want to aim up a little bit but not so high that you hit the tree. small run up. no, no, no. i don't think that's the play. i think this is the play.
18:13 let the natural angle curve you right onto the green kind of... right under the root of the tree and that's like 250 bucks down the drain. fucking mint. i actually just had steak au poivre for the first time, it's really good. bro, french cuisine is like heavily, heavily underrated in north america, i'm sorry to say. for some reason we are not respecting it. i mean, i don't want to go through the woods if i can avoid it. what about some shit like this? is that too fucking crazy?
19:07 could have been worse. even this, i mean this would be a hell of a dunk. i'm starting to understand the hype to be honest with you. and then the wind pulls it back and it lands right in the chains, bro! right in the chains. oh shit. what a fucking shot. can't even see the damn hole, man. it's next to the public fountain. mid range has less fade. oh, but it's got less distance as well. i see, i see.
19:59 kind of drops it straight down. and then of course we want to get this on the run up for sure. preferably like not into the tree. can i cancel my shot? this looks horrible bro. oh height kills distance. of course. i should have known. can i get a switch to the backhand then so i can dodge this tree and then let the beast go. what the hell was that? plus 50% too late nice run up. i was holding like seven buttons down at the exact same time.
21:05 to try to make that happen. wait, there it is right there on the mid range looking for a dunk, looking for something like this. give me a little straight up and down and then what if you just tried to land it like right on top of the... oh but that's through the trees bro, that's through the trees. something like that. oh mother nature's natural angle. that's a tap in if i've ever seen one for birdie though.
21:46 it is a little quiet in this game, it needs a little boop boop boop boop boop, chicka bop boop, chicka boop chicka bop boop. is there an ideal launch angle for a drive in disc golf on a more than a par 3? i feel like that's something that science would have figured out. 90 is crazy. 6, 7 maybe. i feel like it'd be lower, yeah. i feel like it'd be like around here, and then around the tree. mediocre throw? i guess i did flick it like way off to the right.
22:36 i want it to go. i mean, this is hard to see over the top of that rock, man. dodge the foliage. use the foliage to stop in the perfect spot. and then swing for the fences, bro. that's good. did you feel the wind in your... no, it's not in the water. it's floating. it's floating. motherfucker. my first bogey. s curve is goated. send it back and forth. how does one do an s curve?
23:34 two to three meters per second. i mean, this is gale force winds, man. the wind sounds like someone blowing in the mic. well, you know what, librarian? you would know, buddy. you would know about one of these. got him, got him, got him. meteor. come on, go ahead. swing it off to the right, man. i'm in the bog. we make it up right here. the perfect throw. oh, i thought the wind was gonna come like way more than that. i thought the wind was gonna pull it way back.
24:37 now i gotta lay it up over top of the freaking... well, i can't even really lay it up. i gotta do something like... i don't even know, i gotta do like a 69% shot. and then bang it right off the rock and now i'm in outer space. oh, motherfucker. i gotta push? that doesn't... oh, that doesn't count, man? that's a double bogey? the chain box is defective and it's my fault for some reason. okay, this is where we start the recovery.
25:31 with god as my witness, i did not... i did not fuck up the throw that bad. i guess being in the rough doesn't really matter that much though when you're disc golfing. holy shit, bro. a long ass voyage. oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, my controller's broken. i have to figure out, i have to use keyboard and mouse. it's the only thing that makes any sense. run up, shift, and you all laughed at me. good recovery. thank you, thank you. there's a little, it's a light breeze they're telling me.
26:45 if you believe that, i got a bridge to sell you. perfect throw straight at oh my god, off the fucking chain box, bro. whole overview. okay. they have to put so many damn trees? what have i done? i hit a button that changed my... it changed my frisbee. this looks good if i can just get it through the trees. wait a sec. literally actually pretty good. oh, bladed frisbee might be the play. bladed frisbee is an interesting idea.
28:03 this is a little downhill, so you wanna aim a little down. and then a perfect throw, you wanna aim a little up for that one actually. i mean, to be a scratch disc golfer on the first try would be pretty good. i'm going back to controller, bro. there's just too many buttons to hit on the keyboard. this course doesn't make any sense. that's literally as far away as an actual golf hole would be. try the distance driver. ain't this it? isn't this plus a run, the distance driver? the dj, the getaway driver?
28:49 you don't have a distance driver yet? well, no wonder i'm playing so bad. now focus, focus, focus, focus, focus. perfect run up, mediocre throw. slight adjustment in physics, all of a sudden i'm in the damn sycamores. then through the forest here would be crazy. oh, there's a mountain in the way. my bad, guys. okay, maybe it's simple. we'll just curve it around the mountain and into the la river. not great. fuse doesn't fade left.
30:03 i thought disc golfers were pissing me off before, but now that they're actually like in a domain where they have some knowledge, it's much worse. i don't even know what the sentence means. fuse doesn't fade left. is fuse the character i'm playing as? does he have a special ability that doesn't fade left? is it a brand of frisbee? oh, come on! are you serious? okay, well then, we should be using our forehand at all times, obviously. got a crazy roll on that one.
31:02 right through here. that's no problem. beautiful bounce would go crazy. wait, okay, i like this golf again. and then right in the chains. it's been a while since we had a satisfying one. two over par. i at least need to get to the first level of activity points before i go online.
31:37 this is very fits in the tantrums. ooh, i'm a rebel just for kicks now. my god, i gotta get an xbox. i gotta, my god, i've just started playing another hole. i gotta get an xbox controller bro cuz the buttons are did sometimes and they're not inverted other times. what do you think about this? mediocre throw? would a mediocre throw do that? yeah, i don't think so kid. this is the same course. good, we'll improve.
32:35 also, people are saying you can change the input settings on steam. is this one of those things where if i have to go to big picture mode, i'm going to freak out. i'm going to freak out. this is a classic run up situation. my bad. i was playing tilted. this is via the steam overlay. shift tab. okay. i'm in the steam overlay. i'm clicking the controller button. next. okay. i would like to enable steam input and then edit the layout. face buttons. everything already looks like it's supposed to look.
33:24 select a gamepad for face buttons. we've come so far from from god's light man old old two to three meters on the damn breezy. that's the play right there it oh little lucky on that one, but that's okay. okay here we go 180 meters straight ahead
34:12 straight ahead. probably want to switch to the back of the forehand for that one. to dodge the tree. because it is, it's over, yeah okay. it's in the, it's next to the water fountain. now we gotta, we gotta switch it again, my bad. straight shot? well there is no straight shot at this distance. young pup, there is no straight shot at this dis apparently at least unless someone, they got a yet another button that i'm not familiar with. the shank might counteract my natural fade to make a straight shot though.
35:04 light breeze that way easy and then we just dunk it bro. it's gonna it's gonna drop right on top off the tree and into the basket and then people were begging for a spin a straddle spin on a putt. is this how you do it? holy cow little dangerous got the job done though. can't deny that. whoops perfect run up perfect throw natural fade carries me. oh, well right onto the pedestrian path beautiful
36:12 see what kind of malarkey we're dealing with here to me in my mind's eye that's pretty good. and now i've ruined it and then just drop it oh, imagine if it drops straight into the basket though at least land in the bog so that i'm close enough to tap it wait, i'm actually peeking you guys are in trouble online now that i've mastered the 13 buttons i have to hold to do a perfect run up drive you guys are in a lot of trouble now that i know how to do a straddle spin. i
37:20 literally hit the chains which should count but whatever. and then there's a river on this one so be careful. no river, never mind. 118 meters, we're gonna need another run up, the salty run back. we're gonna curve it around the tree with our natural fade. we're gonna curve it around the tree just not the side i thought but then look at that nestled betwixt two rocks. and this one we gotta aim a little up, a little more up than that. i gotta get a feel for the natural weight of my disc, man.
38:26 that was still a birdie, huge. okay watch this. end the run up through the forest. a little bit of a mediocre throw they're saying but it doesn't matter oh my god oh my god that is so hole and oneable and a perfect throw that just slightly someone botched the aim on that one a little bit. perfect opportunity for straddle spin. i've been told you aim at the left of the chains with straddle spin and then it'll suck right into the hole. now this this one is where things get a little goofy man.
39:27 they were kind of trolling with this one. nothing a little perfect run up, perfect throw can't fix though. nothing a little forehand spin. yeah but i can't... can i move a little bit? can i left straddle? literally i think this works. but then you gotta put a run on it too. and you gotta left straddle. i had a feeling that didn't feel right leaving the hand. shit. this has got to be perfect man. this is for birdie. oh and what a bird it would be.
41:03 what a bird it could be if it... oh! wait, wait, wait though. and then stance up. aim to the left and a little high. aim to the left and less high. now we take those. okay. still, still pretty good. i got my 17 buttons held down. what have i done? every... my angle changed at the last second. still a decent drive. we've been skittered over the rock.
41:57 i think this has got to be a forehand run up, let it rip. my god, i waited way too long. i was trying to fix my angle in post. now we're cooking on angle. not the leaves. who planted that? minus four, way better. now if i could just figure out the way that my controller works during the title screen here, i think we'd be in a good spot. okay, i need my disks. i need a driver, bro. this, i have no distance drivers.
43:04 i have two fairway drivers. this one literally goes further, so obviously we're going to equip that. i'm going to stick with my putter because i've gotten used to its natural weight. what's on the reward track, bro? claim it for one? claim it for one? i'd like a... i don't want a controlled driver. i want a distance driver. i have to look at the actual disc. wait, kid, that's kind of awesome, to be honest. you want two big numbers. how about this? westside discs, the fortress.
43:55 although on the other hand, the sun visor could be pretty important as well. i think i gotta get the vip fortress for one. and i do have one more, i mean, i guess i could get the malm, but now that i've already gotten the, that wasn't a distance driver, bro! scammed? how do i know what kind of disk you are? the malm is? no it's not, it says fairway driver on it! it literally says fairway driver on the disk itself.
44:45 11 and up is distance? oh my god. alright, that's actually awesome. no khakis, huh? that's as good as we can get? well now i need to go to the reward track if you just give me a second. so obviously i at least need to get like the oakleys. alright. i don't want to play at cannon park anymore. i want to play online. play.
45:56 do i have to get like a special score or something on it to unlock online play? oh, you press escape and you go to an all new title screen. okay. i mean there is a daily challenge on cannon park though on the other hand. press escape one more time. oh, i must have mashed like 20 buttons when i joined the game. quick match. let's do it man. looking for match. let's see. we got samir disc golf, disc golf discipline.
46:37 crazy name down there at number nine. i don't see a chronal though a chronal if you're not in there someone's gonna be playing the game. okay, we had people playing star wars monopoly someone's gonna be playing the game downloading now. give me a second. yes i'm about to play irl. i can't help i was about to say but it's like 10 15 a.m. on a tuesday, but then i realized we're talking about disc golf creating session real talk disc golf would be fun and
47:50 i know they got some courses in vancouver. where do people play in vancouver? they play at qe. i'm sure they play at lots of parks, but qe mostly. okay. i have 200 discs irl. over 200 confirmed discs? i graduated top of my class at fade academy. well, all right. someone was trying to get in on dan's wi fi. let's do it. wait, wait, wait. why do we all have the same fit though? we can't all be wearing the same glasses.
48:45 starting game in three, here we go. no shoes? i like to feel the earth underneath me, bro.
