 Dillmanie, manie, manie, manie, Dillmanie. I don't know Dillmanie, manie, manie, manie, Dillmanie. Boom. Josh! And today we got a video that's just called how high quality cricket bats are made. That is gonna be pretty dang interesting. It looks like this guy's just chopping up a piece of wood. Yep. And I guess that's how bats used to be made. Is there a particular brand, for example, the Louisville Slugger has been the go-to bat in baseball for ages? Is there a go-to bat in cricket? Probably. Brand-wise? And variations, obviously, in baseball, there's variations on weight and length. And it has to be wood, obviously. Yeah. You'd have only home runs. And you'd kill people. If you can imagine Giancarlo Stanton or Aaron Judge or Shohei Otani hitting with an aluminum bat, it'd kill people in the infield. Players would die. Yeah. You'd have velocities of 150 coming off the bat. Yeah. Yeah, that's why they use aluminum. It's weird they use it in college still. Because there's some guys that are still cranking it. But once you leave college and you enter the pros, even in the minor leagues, there's no more aluminum bats. So this is gonna be intriguing. I'm very interested. Never seen anything about this at all, have you? Well, it looks like no. It looks like hands-on, too. Here we go. And we're done. Wow. What a video. Well, when they stack them like that, it looks like pallets. That's just a starting wood, I think. Yeah, that's not finished. Those are just. Okay, yeah. Or maybe that's the excess stuff that they sell, maybe for pires. No gloves. No goggles. That guy has some. No, those are glasses he's just wearing to see better. That's better than nothing. Yeah. Is the saw still going right now? Ha, ha, ha. I don't see any pedal to step on to make it stop. No, that thing's just perpetually buzzing. Woo, wee, blubber. He probably has. He doesn't have any kind of a feeder with that thing. It's just the fingers. Ow, mama. He probably has been doing this for 30 years. Oh, mommy. Wow. He's clearly done well. He has all of his fingers. It's like a mom that just touches the oil. It must smell amazing in there. All the wood getting cut. Why is it so thin, though? I don't know why it wins. I don't know. It's so strange. Maybe there was a song playing in the back. Maybe, yeah. That's actually what I bet. Maybe somebody was playing something. What are they making? Because it's too small to be there. Is that just the handle? I think that's the handle. That it looked like they insert. Really? I thought it was all made from one piece. Yeah. My goodness, he's just doing that based on. He's been doing this for sight 20 years, probably. That took him five seconds. OK, so this is the. I'm guessing they have to use a specific type of wood. Type of wood, absolutely. Like a birch. Obviously needs to be a specific link. Oh, he's got some goggles up there. He's just not wearing them. And actually, I think they're just sunglasses. I know there's a precision to this, but it looks so random right now. I kind of wish we had an ABCDEFG in the process so we knew what was being made. Well, they're making the bat. That's clearly now the bat part. But again, it looks, it's just being done by sight. Wow. That's obviously the insert. Yeah, the insert. I thought it was created from one piece. He literally did that by sight. By sight. That's impressive, actually. Wow. Learn to trade, kids. I am utterly flabbergasted that this is just being done by visual precision and memory. Wow. Are you kidding me? It's probably to the exact specification. I am astonished. Wow. So what do you do? Do you glue it or? Clearly, there'll be some sanding. Here's what I did by sight, sander. I'm guessing the last part was the sander. That's how they get it to that. But they didn't show the glue part. No. Because I'm getting. And I'm presuming this is a kind of lacquer. Yeah. Primer, maybe. Or a sealant. Yeah. And are these the kinds of bats that are made just for the general public to get versus the ones that are specifically made for professional sports? Usually those are the same. Usually those are incredibly specific. I would expect. I mean, they're putting on the labels of brands. Genuinely amazed. Does anybody make their own in the same way that surfers can make their own surfboards? I bet they do. And they're expensive. I mean, at least here, they're expensive, man, because like when we. He's literally Batman. When we were playing cricket early on in the channel, when we went to see if we could at the park. At the park. Yeah. There was people playing cricket and people selling. And it was like 200 or something dollars for a bat. Wow. That's pricey. Yeah. And so I'm guessing in India, it's lumber. Lumber is really expensive, obviously, right now, especially right now. But to do it, and you guys can tell us if this is just somebody that's just selling it to the general public. And I'm guessing for professionals. Because like in baseball, they need to be a certain thing. By the rule of the league, they need to be. I mean, you can have your specific like certain batsmen like certain bats, but they all need to be specified to specific requirements by the league. And each player has their own bats made by the league. So specifically, they can. And some players, Tony Gwynne used to do this all the time. He would give away bats. And their names are burned into the bat. And it's to their specific weight, size that they like to hit with. But it has to fall within the regulations of the league. And it's very, very specific. I'm assuming it's the same because most leagues are like that. I would assume soccer balls need to be set right back. And similarly, you can go to Big Five Sporting Goods and you can buy some baseball bats. And they're going to be a Louisville slugger, but they're not necessarily going to be major league baseball standards. Same thing with baseballs. You can buy baseballs that are great. You might not even tell the difference, but they're not official major league baseballs. Those have a very specific number of stitches, weight, leather that's used. And we've talked about there's only one family anywhere in the world that has the kind of clay that they use to prep them for on-field usage. So I'd really irrespective of whether or not it would be even more mind-boggling to me that this is also acceptable in IPL or any of the other leagues. That that was all done by just I. Yeah, it was insane. The amount of precision I have is really insane. Who is the, I got told this story when I was very young by my uncle. Maybe it was Lyne, who knows. In basketball, because these players, maybe it was Kobe, maybe it was Michael, who knows. But they know the game so well when he was practicing his warm-ups, he was shooting and something was off and then he went over to the ref or something and he was like that. The ball was off where the hoop is an inch off. Not a surprise. I forget who it was. But it was some legend like that and he was like, no, it's not. And they checked and he was like, yeah, it was an inch off. Yeah, I saw a recent video of, what's his name from Golden State, extraordinary crazy man. Can't believe I'm blanking on his name right now. Steph Curry. And he's dribbling and the ball, it dribbled and it kind of bounced to the left and he let it go and he checked to the floor because when you're that good, the only reason you would miss your dribble is it's not something wrong with you. There's something wrong with the floor. Yeah. Yeah. They know they, just like people in cricket, I'm sure, right? They know that sport, the ball, the game, like the back of their hand. Yeah, and I wonder also, you can tell us, are there stories you know of in cricket where any players have tried to fudge the system? It's happened in baseball. The old pine tar incident with George Brett way back in I think the 1980s. Didn't something just happen? Something just happened last night, Scherzer. Scherzer was pitching, he's on the Mets and he was pitching against the Dodgers and the Umpps kept checking his hand. And he said, all I have on there is rosin and sweat and rosin is basically a chalk. They have a rosin bag behind the mound to keep their hands dry. No fricking way. And I saw Scherzer in the dugout with a trainer. They were putting tape on his hand, his glove hand. Granted, it's not his throwing hand, but still, if you have anything sticky on the glove hand, you can move that to this hand. He was saying on his kid's life, it was just rosin and sweat. There's no way you're gonna get that sticky because the Umpps said it's one of the stickiest feelings I've felt on a pitcher's hand ever. So Scherzer was ejected and if the league decides that was a sticky substance, he'll be suspended for 10 games automatically for doing that. Because that's why we've marveled over the fact that in cricket, you not only can mess with the ball, you wanna mess the ball. It's to the bowler's advantage that the ball gets all screwed up. But in baseball, you cannot mess with the ball. No. No. How do they prove, like, does, I'm assuming if you let him go to the back and he can wash his hand off. Which he had that opportunity to do. Or is there a league person that immediately comes in, they swab it to see what it is. Yeah, I'm pretty sure they had somebody test it. And it was the second time he had been called on it before and he had to change his glove. And he was supposed to probably go wash his hand. It's just, it's absurd. And more than like, it was like George Brett freaking out that they disqualified his home run. And the reason they did, his pine tar was up too high on the bat. Pine tar is a sticky substance. It's the tar from a pine tree. That allows you to keep your hands gripped to the bat. And a lot of batters, there's a rule in the league is how high up the bat it can go. It's only supposed to be on your handle. And that he had put it. Most of the time on those kinds of things, what's the, the umps are, they're gonna get it right. Shers are screwed up. I don't know that, I don't see they get it right cause we've seen famously. I'm talking about those kinds of things. No. Yeah! Frag your little fuck. Most of the time in those situations, but. I hate umps. I don't, I hate them. I don't. I love the umps. They are power, like they, there's way too much. They piss me off sometimes. There's way too much power given to umps. Way too much. I think there's way too much power given to a lot of refs. Because like in NFL, it makes me so upset when. Oh, that's a whole other ball game. We have literally instant replay. Literally, like it happened in the Falcons game last year. It's Tom Brady. It was a perfect sack. He didn't fall on him. He didn't push him to the ground. It was, it was a textbook. He got him, wrapped him up, and he rolled to the ground. It was text book. If there's any sport that screws it up the most, it's the NFL. Text book. Like nobody, nobody even questions. And it was a perfect set. And the announcers are saying, I don't agree with that call. Yeah. I don't agree with that call. And they were like, yeah, and that changed the game and we lost. Can NFL teams do what Major League Baseball teams can do because a manager of a team can play a game under protest. If a manager does not like a call so strongly, the manager can say we're playing under protest. And if it turns out that that call changed the outcome of the game to that team's detriment, the league will review it. And if the league deems that the manager was right and the amp was wrong, that game will be nullified and they'll have to play a makeup game. I wish. Yeah, they do that in Major League Baseball. Ugh, I wish. That'd be awesome. Yeah. But no. Anyways, cool video. That was amazing. Let us know any information about it if there's other videos that it could explain it even more about the actual league itself. Please let us know what those are down below.
