Hobby Horsing Around | The Basement Yard #555

The hosts discover and discuss the competitive world of hobby horsing, where individuals, often young girls, demonstrate significant athletic skill by jumping over high fences while 'riding' stick horses. Frank is particularly impressed by a girl clearing a 40-inch fence with ease, highlighting the sport's demanding physical nature.

Joe and Frank watch videos of hobby horsing, with Frank exclaiming, 'some of them are [__] athletes. I saw this one girl one time and and she was getting over a 40inch fist. Shut the [__] up, bro. This [__] was [__] flying.'

The conversation explores the trend of 'gimmicky' bar shots, where the act of taking the shot involves an additional, often aggressive or uncomfortable, ritual. Examples include the 'hurricane shot' (shot, water thrown in face, slap) and the 'haircut shot' (peppermint schnapps and chocolate syrup poured into the mouth while reclining). The hosts express a mix of disgust and fascination with these extreme social drinking experiences.

Joe describes the 'hurricane shot' video: 'So, you take the shot, they throw water. Yo. Oh. Yo, dude. First of all, I'm not signing up for that. That's No [__] way. B. Yo, she slapped the hell out of him.' Frank recounts the 'haircut shot' involving 'peppermint schnaps and chocolate syrup and then you swallow it.'

In a segment of comedic pseudo-science, Frank proposes that sexual activity ('humps') could count towards mileage in virtual fitness challenges. Through a calculation based on an estimated 'two feet per hump' and '40 humps per minute,' it is determined that 2,640 humps, or 33 minutes of continuous sexual activity, would equate to one mile. This leads to a humorous debate about expanding the definition of physical exertion for fitness goals.

Frank asks, 'How many humps in a mile?' and later, 'Can me engaging in my healthy sexual life that I have with my wife contribute to mileage to get me metals and toys?' The calculation concludes: 'You would need 2640 humps to hump a mile.'

The hosts discuss 'The Conqueror' app, a platform for virtual races where participants accumulate mileage from various physical activities (running, cycling, walking) to earn themed medals, including a coveted Infinity Gauntlet series. This gamified approach provides external motivation for exercise, appealing to those driven by collecting physical rewards.

Joe explains, 'there's this app that I learned that Ant uses. It's a thing called, it's called like the Conqueror or something like that... they're like like virtual races... you can kind of like add them up... if you do a bunch of them, you get an infinity infinity gauntlet.'
