The Raspyni Brothers juggle and jest
Poziom:
Temat: Media
Dan Holzman: Please throw out the beanbag chairs. Here we go.
Barry Friedman: There are all kinds of high-tech chairs here today,
but this is really, I think, when it reached its peak
as far as ergonomics, comfort, design, flexibility --
DH: Now obviously, this is not something we do on our regular show.
It's something we just kind of learned for this.
So we're going to try. But can we have some inspirational music for the beanbag chairs?
BF: Nice show, Daniel, nice show. You are the man.
Nice show. Man, that was good.
DH: Thank you.
BF: Sometimes when people do those, they go all the way down.
You actually just did that.
That's the kind of extra effort that's gotten us where we are today.
DH: All right, let's show them something special.
BF: Without a MacArthur grant.
Yeah, look at this. You know, all kinds of different --
TED is about invention, let's be honest. DH: Yeah, it is.
BF: Last night, Michael Moschen showed some juggling props
he has invented and working on.
Right now, Dan's going to show something he actually invented.
DH: A type of juggling I actually invented,
right after I saw another juggler do it.
BF: Shut up.
DH: This is a small excerpt from a longer piece.
(Laughter)
(Applause)
DH: Folks, this is shaker-cup juggling. It's not a show-stopper,
but it certainly slows it down.
BF: Oh yeah, it does.
BF: Oh, Daniel
(Applause)
DH: One more.
Perfect.
Perfect.
OK. BF: Oh! DH: All right.
(Applause)
I'm now pushing my luck. I'm skipping right to -- six cups.
In order to do six cups, I must have perfect control
over three with my right hand.
BF: Also three with his left.
DH: Perfect.
(Laughter)
And now all six cups. Should I do it on the first try,
or should I miss once on purpose?
BF: First try, once on purpose.
Audience: Once on purpose!
DH: How about if I try first and then decide?
BF: Good idea. Let's leave that. Leave that door open.
(Laughter)
DH: He's looking at me.
BF: That's all right, he does that. All right, oh.
DH: It's time for Richard's help.
Oh, good, all right.
BF: You know, over the years, every year at the conference,
it's kind of become a tradition for us to do something dangerous
with Richard. And we've always done something with the bullwhips
in our act. It's funny, for years I did it with Daniel holding balloons.
And then we thought, "How stupid."
DH: Excuse me, could we work on the design of the microphone?
BF: I think that's the next session.
DH: Next session?
BF: Yeah. And so we've actually found a way to incorporate Richard in this.
He actually assumes more of the danger in this.
DH: Please stand up, Richard.
(Laughter)
DH: Now Richard, please --
BF: OK, sorry.
DH: Jesus Christ. Richard, please stand in front of me.
Richard Wurman: Can I say something?
DH: Sure.
RW: In all past years, I've rehearsed with them,
the things that have happened to me.
This is -- I have no idea, and that's the truth.
DH: Right, please stand here in front --
God, I hate that. Put your hands out like this, please.
(Laughter)
BF: Come stay up with him. This is --
Dan used to actually hold them, but now he's got you for protection.
It's kind of neat. OK.
(Laughter)
DH: Wow, you've been working out.
BF: No, shut up.
(Laughter)
Having a little bit of Richard time, that's nice, that's good.
OK, here we go.
Have him hold your wrist so I can --
DH: Please hold my wrist. Hold this a minute.
BF: Here you go.
(Laughter)
OK.
OK, hold on.
BF: Hmmm.
(Laughter)
DH: First one.
BF: All those mid-year phone calls are coming back to me now, Richard.
(Laughter)
DH: So, Richard, what were we on the list? Like 1,020?
(Laughter)
What happened there?
BF: I think we were just outside.
(Applause)
(Laughter)
Having some bad flashbacks.
DH: Don't hold me that hard.
BF: Here we go, I'm taking it.
DH: One more, one more.
BF: We've got one more we're going to do.
RW: Can I get to hold them?
BF: Yeah, you don't want to hold these, trust me.
DH: Could you spread your legs a little bit?
(Laughter)
BF: Gloria, you want to do it? It's very cool.
(Laughter)
(Applause)
(Laughter)
One more try. Man, I don't want to get too close.
(Laughter)
Could you just push that?
(Applause)
DH: Wow! Boy!
BF: That's cool. I always wanted to try that.
(Laughter)
DH: Let's jump this way, though.
Now, we risked Richard's life, it's only fair we risk our own lives.
So to do that, I will juggle these three razor-sharp sickles.
And if that wasn't enough, and judging by your response, it's not --
(Laughter)
BF: Wow! Hoping for a little more build.
DH: True. Barry --
BF: I'm going to run up behind him.
DH: Leap over my shoulder.
BF: Up and over his shoulders.
DH: Grab the blades in mid-air. Land right there in a pool of blood.
(Laughter)
Still juggling.
Impossible, you say?
BF: Incredible, you say?
DH: Why bother, you say?
BF: Here we go.
DH: Just do it juggler boys, you say.
BF: This guy, this guy invented air.
DH: I think so, that's right.
Even the pencil.
BF: He invented the pencil.
DH: All right, we'll do this trick, but please remember,
it took us over 10 years to perfect.
BF: 10 years to perfect, which you're about to see.
DH: It's not that difficult, we just don't like to practice that much.
BF: Hassle, traveling too much.
Actually, we will take a second to prove --
these could be fake -- that the blades are indeed razor-sharp.
DH: Will someone please throw a small farm animal
up onto the stage.
(Laughter)
Or a virgin for a sacrifice.
BF: Anything.
DH: Where's Gloria?
BF: No, she's got -- farm animal.
DH: Do you have a small farm animal?
Just trying to play the odds. All right, here we go.
BF: Over the top, over the top.
DH: How you feeling, Barry, you feeling all right?
BF: Yeah, it's all right.
DH: Do you feel everything's OK, the atmosphere, the --
BF: Yes, a little sketchy.
DH: Everything up here's OK?
BF: Yeah.
DH: Then here we go.
BF: This one's a little -- who's doing the lights? Could you --
this one's pointing -- could you point that a little more directly
into my eyeballs, is that possible? I can still see a little.
DH: And turn up the intensity -- we're still pink in the middle.
We went too far out.
BF: Yeah, it's too far. It's too much of a visual.
The design of the body -- it's a whole different thing.
DH: Ready, Barry? BF: Over the top.
DH: May we have our jumping music please?
May we have it a bit louder?
(Laughter)
BF: They're a good crew!
DH: Whoa, whoa, right, right.
BF: We're going on.
DH: All right, we'll try again.
BF: All right? Oh my gosh, oh.
DH: Sorry about that.
BF: I thought I had the hard part. OK.
DH: Whenever you're ready.
BF: There we go.
(Applause)
Take it up, come on and dance, come on, come on and dance.
Somebody dance, come on.
(Applause)
Wow, wow, OK, stop.
Weird, no one dances -- we're two guys doing this.
I think that's uncomfortable for everyone.
DH: The French judge --
BF: One more quick thing.
DH: The French judge gives it a 5.2.
(Laughter)
BF: Well, you know --
DH: There you go -- BF: Yeah, another one coming in.
DH: Tell them about our bio and stuff.
BF: Yeah, in our bio some of you may have read
that we've won two world juggling championships.
And believe it or not, you don't win juggling champions
for doing things with bullwhips or shaker cups.
We're going to show you right now
an excerpt from a routine that we used
to wipe out the other juggling team competition.
DH: That's right.
BF: Good.
DH: I know what you're thinking. Other juggling teams must really suck.
(Laughter)
BF: Juggling's got a bad rap.
DH: But wait, Barry, there's still one more club lying there by my foot.
And look, it has a twin.
(Laughter)
There's still one more by my foot.
What do you want me to do with it?
BF: Richard, Richard you tell him, it's your last year.
DH: That's a pretty good setup, Richard.
BF: Yeah, it's a good setup. That's a big setup.
DH: All right. What I will do -- I will use my panther-like reflexes.
BF: Nice.
DH: I've got that.
To reach down and grab that club in my grip of steel.
BF: Nice.
DH: I touched it, Barry. That should be enough.
BF: It's progress, that's the thing.
(Laughter)
DH: How about that? Oh, do it again.
Oh wait, it's on your side, Barry.
And it's awfully windy over there.
BF: Yes it is, it's weird. You wouldn't think
it would affect half the stage, but it is. It's weird.
Watch this, what I'm going to do is slide the seventh one onto my foot.
DH: Wow! What a great trick, Barry.
Oh, look how it lies there.
Oh, Barry, is there nothing you can't do?
(Laughter)
You are my hero. You're my Jim Shea Jr.
Too much Olympics.
BF: From my foot, I'll attempt to kick the seventh club.
DH: Where Barry? Where? Tell us, Barry.
[Unclear] eagerly awaits your next syllable. What will it be?
What gem of knowledge?
What pearl of wisdom?
Do you want to buy a vowel, Barry?
Is that your final answer?
BF: All right! You have to turn off the TV from time to time.
DH: I do, I do.
From my foot, the kick up in the seventh.
DH: We will juggle seven.
BF: From six to seven. DH: That's a world's record -- for us.
BF: Yes.
DH: Whenever you're ready there, big guy.
Put your tongue away, Barry.
BF: Oh, oh, whoa.
(Applause)
DH: Please, please stay seated. Stay seated. Thank you.
Because now, to make this twice as difficult,
we'll juggle the seven clubs back --
BF: Seven-club juggling.
DH: to back.
BF: Thank you, that's it.
BF: Thank you guys!
DH: Thank you very much!
