 Your hand is bisexual. Well, you say that. You know. What? Josh! Welcome back to our stupid drag scene sub-corban. I'm Rick. You can follow us on Instagram, Twitter for juicy content. Thanks on Patreon, follow us on Twitter. Yeah! Come on over to my Patreon, the water's fine. Mm, gross. Today, we have a video. This is called Yoga Meets Pole Dancing with India... Mal... Malakam? So, we have seen a video of this before. But it was a long time ago and it was not this video and we probably forgotten it. Because in that US versus thing, the... We have the best whatever, you know? Uh-huh. And that guy that jumped and he caught on the pole. Yes. On his testicles. Yes. That is apparently... Okay. And so, this is from the big story. This is a big YouTube channel. And so, they're gonna kind of explain it a little more for us. Explain that thing. That... Gotcha. It's an art form, apparently. Okay. I'm interested to see if they're gonna stand at the top and do downward dog. Why? Would just be interesting to see. Here we go. Once upon a time, it was a global force of India. Ow! But due to the British conquering India and ruling over the country, they trashed all the things which were existing in Indian culture. But it is being revived. It is now known as the fastest-growing pole in the world. This great big story is inspired by... Genesis. The art of the... Come on. That was not a... Malakam. It's made by two words. Malakam is a wooden pole. Basically, Malakam is a wooden pole, which is about eight and a half feet in the height. Same. The thing about it was to wrestle against this pole in the essence of your partner. You can find the traces about Malakam in our old epics, but the historical evidence shows Malakam going back over 200 years. My name is Uday Deshpande, and I teach Malakam in this institution every day. I come here at 4.30 in the morning and I'm here till 10.30 in the night. That's a long time, man. I like the music. All the movements are divided into five categories. The first one is mounts. So, from the floor, you mount on the apparatus. You know about mounting. Your mom knows about that. There is hold parts. You have to hold the parts. On the pole of yogic posture. Ow! Then there are some catches. You release the... Ow! And before falling on the ground, you re-grasp it again. And then the acrobatic movements. Very fast, turning, twisting, rotating movements. Wow! And the last is dismount. Maybe with a simple dismount. Nice shot. All the positions are basically named. Like Pottasal, Tazwa, Khandi, Bane Guruji Pakar, Bajang Pakar, Mohan Bedi. All these are the original names which were given by the ancestors to this typical movement. And we continue with the same nomenclature today. Do the boys only do the pole and the girls do the rope? Yeah, it sure looks like it. Not a core strength. It overall takes the total personality of the person who starts doing Malkham. Wow! Ow! That's incredibly interesting. Wow. Ouch. My groin hurts. Yours? Uh, no. Oh. My groin's doing pretty good right now. Do you think you could do that? Like if you could, if you got into a pole... No. Could you just lay on your back? With extraordinary effort, I could put myself into a position if you gave me a good five minutes to hold maybe one or two of those positions and not for long. I mean, even though I'm in really good shape, those are requiring muscles to do things that we don't use them for on a daily basis. So yeah, I can imagine how freaking hard that is. Why do the girls only do the rope? At least in this video, that's what I'm showing. Yeah, that's what it looks like. The girls only do the rope, the boys only do the pole. That's super interesting. Ouch, man. Yeah, some of those just look straight up, and I'm sure they are. Painful. I wonder if there's any kind of push, because so many sports try to get pushed to get included in Olympic competition. I wonder if that has ever had a push for it, because it's been around for so long. But I bet more the world has to. Exactly, you can't just have something that your nation excels in and other nations aren't doing. Yeah, and it sounded like it's been in India for a long time throughout its history, but I don't know if it's anywhere else. I've never heard of it anywhere else. I've never seen it. It wouldn't surprise me if there were variations on it in other Asian countries, but I can't think of anything we have that is... Your mom's really good at a different kind of pole. That's true. Pole dancing. My mom never did pole dancing. She did disco dancing, and she did belly dancing, and she was a stripper, but she never did pole dancing. She would have... It wasn't big back then. When my mom was a stripper, pole dancing wasn't a big deal. And my mom was a birthday stripper, so she wasn't like a stripper in a club. She was the one that showed up at a birthday party and surprised, or at a bachelor party, and she didn't go full. She went down to a bikini. Yes, I've watched my mom strip in front of guys. I feel like no one's asking you to reveal this information. In fact, I have a video of it. No. Yeah, you want to see it? We're going to get demonetized. No, seriously. Here you go. No, we're absolutely getting demonetized. This was me watching my mom belly dance when I was a little kid. Just kidding. It just happened to be a TikTok that I saw recently that I love. This reminded me of Micah, because when Micah was a little boy, we were watching Last Hangover in Paris, and the girl dancers go by, and the sexiest ones on there. I've mentioned this before, and he just goes, I like that one. This little kid's just gobsmacked. He's going through puberty right before our very eyes. Oh! Anyways, that was cool. If there's any other videos of people actually performing, it would be really cool to actually see a full-on performance of it. If any of you do this, please let us know in the comments below. And if there's any other videos we can react to, please let us know down below.
