00:00Welcome to Real Talk, where it gets hot, spicy, and to the drama.
00:03I'm Jesse Morales, and today I'll be playing tennis with Savannah, Phillip, and Madwell.
00:26So the first warm-up we're going to do is a juggling warm-up
00:29that's going to get our hands and our touch, our finesse going.
00:37Because tennis isn't always about power, you have to have some touch and finesse in there as well.
00:41So what we're going to do is we're going to get the ball on the strings,
00:45and we are just going to juggle it.
00:47This is going to help us relax, get used to how the racket feels,
00:51and get in touch with our hand.
00:54We can do different variations of this.
00:56You can bounce it, you can bounce it off the ground.
01:00You can also do catches,
01:02where you're trying to make the ball stop as quickly as possible.
01:07See how there's no bounce when I do that?
01:10Wow.
01:11Right?
01:11You should play tennis, you're so good at this.
01:13Here we go.
01:14All right, so you're going to start with it.
01:19You're going to smack me in the head.
01:20Whoa.
01:21Okay.
01:21Don't kill each other.
01:22This is meant to be a simple warm-up, nice and easy.
01:25Ready?
01:26Okay, wait, I'm kind of amazing.
01:27Is this a competition or what?
01:29No, just a warm-up, just a warm-up.
01:30Not a competition yet.
01:33We do our list when it went.
01:35Oh, s***.
01:36And once you hit ten in a row, you should be nice and warm.
01:40Nice and easy.
01:41The idea is to make it as chill as possible.
01:46Yeah, it should take very little effort.
01:49Try not to use your shoulder.
01:50Think about using your hand a little bit more.
01:52Hand.
01:52Almost like you have a frying pan or something.
01:54Hand, okay.
01:54Just like right there.
01:57Right there in the hand.
01:58Oh, s***.
01:59Just make sure not to hit each other's faces.
02:01We need those, okay?
02:02We have to film.
02:03Okay, one, two, three.
02:05That was kind of impressive.
02:06Can you count to ten and keep it?
02:08Try not to move your feet.
02:09It's just right there, nice and simple.
02:11Okay, you got it, you got it, you got it.
02:13Next one is, this one's a little more challenging.
02:15Bounce it off the ground and then catch it without it bouncing.
02:18So you let it go and you try to catch it.
02:23With the least amount of bounces possible.
02:26Nice, nice.
02:27Okay, piece of cake.
02:30You are very talented and athletic.
02:32Oh, the next one is, now we're going to toss it up in the air and catch it as softly as
02:38possible.
02:39Try not to let the ball bounce.
02:41What do you mean?
02:42How do I get it to not bounce?
02:44You have to use your legs.
02:46You have to use your legs.
02:46So when you toss it up and it comes down, use your legs to take all the energy out of
02:52the ball and have a soft hand, soft hands, soft hands.
02:57Yep.
02:58So you almost want to follow the ball with the racket and as it gets closer, you slow
03:03it down.
03:04Oh, so instead of waiting for it, you kind of come down with it.
03:07There it is.
03:08That's it.
03:09Yep.
03:10Okay.
03:11So see my racket?
03:12See how I'm going up and down with the ball?
03:15Nice and easy.
03:17Uh-huh.
03:18And then the better you are, the more, the higher you can like toss it.
03:22Okay.
03:23Very good.
03:24Very impressed.
03:26Let's move on.
03:27Second warmup.
03:28Okay.
03:29So this is round two.
03:31We're going to step it up with the coordination.
03:33Okay.
03:34Because tennis is all about coordination.
03:35Got it.
03:36Got it.
03:37Hands and feet work together.
03:40Yes.
03:41There's so many bugs.
03:42Your feet aren't moving, not playing tennis.
03:44So what we're going to do is we're going to dribble a ball with our racket at the same
03:50time.
03:51Hey.
03:52Sorry.
03:53Hold the chatter.
03:54Jeez Louise.
03:55Continue coach.
03:56Gen Z.
03:57My God.
03:58Okay.
03:59What we're going to do is we're going to shuffle through these cones, right?
04:03Pretty simple.
04:04Pretty simple.
04:05But at the same time, we're going to be dribbling the ball.
04:07So we're going to be here.
04:09It's a lot of coordination.
04:10Shuffle side to side.
04:11That's right.
04:12Got it?
04:13I'm pretty sure there's a soccer drill like this.
04:14I'm going to do it one more time.
04:15Do it one more time.
04:16Yeah.
04:17You might have to.
04:18You might have to.
04:19Oh, my back just cracked.
04:20Ugh.
04:23Piece of cake.
04:24Yeah.
04:25Savannah.
04:26Yes.
04:27You're up first.
04:28Take your time, though.
04:29Take your time.
04:30Okay.
04:31Oh, wait.
04:32I'm doing better.
04:33Nice.
04:34Nice.
04:35Oh, shoot.
04:36Wait.
04:37Very nice.
04:38Very nice.
04:39Not bad.
04:40Not bad.
04:41I just can't.
04:42What is this?
04:43Okay.
04:44Not bad.
04:45Not bad.
04:46I hated that one.
04:47Ranking it two out of ten.
04:48Hey, you know what?
04:49They all did better.
04:50That was pretty good.
04:51There's a beef.
04:52Oh, God.
04:53Actors.
04:54Okay.
04:55So for our third warmup, we are going to be doing some overhead bowling.
05:04Okay.
05:05So what I want, I'm going to toss you a ball overhead.
05:07You're going to take your racket.
05:09Keep it simple.
05:10Wait for contact.
05:11And you're just going to smash it right into the cones.
05:13The goal is to knock over as many cones as possible.
05:16Uh-huh.
05:17Okay?
05:18Okay.
05:19Piece of cake.
05:20You are professionals.
05:21Here we go.
05:22Oh, .
05:23But that was close.
05:24Come on.
05:25I'm going to stand over here.
05:26Okay.
05:27Wait.
05:28Be patient.
05:29Be patient.
05:30Dammit.
05:31Okay.
05:32Not bad.
05:33Not bad.
05:34Not bad.
05:35I...
05:36We might not be here all day.
05:37I feel like we will be here all day.
05:38Sure.
05:39We have till, uh, 7 p.m.
05:41Okay.
05:42This is hard.
05:43Yeah, this is difficult.
05:44This is hard.
05:45This is a tough one.
05:46Can I say bad words?
05:47I don't know.
05:48I was wondering...
05:49Shoot.
05:50Dang, nabbit.
05:51We have to switch this up because we're never going to hit it ever.
05:53I feel like I need to jump into it.
05:54No, you are doing good.
05:55You're learning your rackets right now, so it's going to take a minute to really find out
05:58how much it bounces, how much power you need.
06:00Well, what's a good angle to hit it?
06:02For right now, this is pretty... this is okay.
06:04It's like a pancake, so hold it like a frying pan.
06:07And, um, so you're just waiting for it, and then you just like...
06:11Okay.
06:12Here we go.
06:14Oh, not bad.
06:15Not bad.
06:16Oh, my God, girl.
06:17Not bad.
06:20Not bad.
06:21That was not good.
06:25Oh, shit.
06:26Hey!
06:27Oh, shit.
06:28I was like...
06:29She did it.
06:30Did you get that?
06:31She did it.
06:32One, two, three, four.
06:33Savannah, you're up.
06:34Oh, we're together.
06:35Oh, my God.
06:36Oh, here we go.
06:37Look alive.
06:38That one's a little high for me, Jessie.
06:43Oh, my goodness.
06:44Why'd they give you the baby rack?
06:45I should probably...
06:46No, I took it.
06:47It's easier.
06:48It's half in the net, right?
06:53Oh, boy.
06:54That scared me.
06:55Sorry.
06:56Here we go.
06:57I'm so sorry.
06:58That was aggressive.
06:59Okay.
07:00Yeah.
07:01Nice.
07:02Nice.
07:03Nice.
07:04That's five.
07:05Okay.
07:06Here we go.
07:07Ten balls left.
07:08Super speed.
07:13Oh, this guy's a champion now.
07:14I know.
07:17Damn it.
07:18My stomach gets butterflies every time I hit it.
07:21Yeah, me too.
07:22Okay.
07:23Last round.
07:24You know what?
07:25There was cones there.
07:26Oh.
07:27I'm like...
07:28Jessie.
07:29Actually hitting the ball and not aiming.
07:30I need to aim.
07:31It's a little lighter.
07:32Oh, softer.
07:33Softer.
07:34Oh, .
07:35There we go.
07:36That worked.
07:37Here we go.
07:40Oh.
07:41It hit it with the noise.
07:42Zero.
07:43Okay.
07:44Not bad.
07:45Very impressive.
07:46Very impressive.
07:47Six.
07:48You got five.
07:49How many did you get?
07:50Zero.
07:51Zero.
07:52Okay.
07:53So that wraps up our last warmup.
07:54Time for a game.
07:55So we're only playing half court.
07:57So you don't have to take your racket all the way back here.
08:00These are very bouncy.
08:01Okay.
08:02So just think about waiting for contact and then going back of the hand to the ear.
08:07Yeah.
08:08It's almost like you're sliding up a wall.
08:10Okay.
08:12So here.
08:13Uh huh.
08:14Back of the hand to the ear.
08:15For the backhand, you have both hands on the racket.
08:19Back of the hand to the ear.
08:20Yeah.
08:21Straight to the ear.
08:22The more you do this, the further it's going to go.
08:24And we don't necessarily need all that.
08:25So always basically this way.
08:26Just straight to the ear.
08:27Yeah.
08:28It should.
08:29The ball should fall.
08:30In this.
08:31In this.
08:32Yeah.
08:33In this small.
08:34Two squares.
08:35Yep.
08:36Yep.
08:37Yep.
08:38Okay.
08:39And if all else fails, just like softly dink it back.
08:40And you're saying to the ear, is it going this way or is it going this way?
08:41Yeah.
08:42It rolls.
08:43It rolls up.
08:44Okay.
08:45Okay.
08:46Here we go.
08:47This is the game.
08:48It's first to five.
08:49Mm-hmm.
08:50Rally style.
08:51Okay.
08:52Going to serve the ball up to you.
08:54And we're going to start hitting it back and forth.
08:57First one to score wins a point.
08:59Five points wins the game.
09:01Got it?
09:02Got it.
09:03I'm partnered with Savannah here.
09:05So, uh, wish me luck.
09:06We're going to win.
09:07The stories.
09:08Here we go.
09:09Zeroes.
09:10But I don't remember really well.
09:11Oh, shoot.
09:12Lock in.
09:14Phew.
09:15That was the biggest swing in the world.
09:17Yeah, the pool.
09:18She had the pool.
09:19I'm a little jittery from my Dunkin' Coffee.
09:20Not being a lie.
09:21Almost.
09:22Almost.
09:23Almost.
09:24Almost.
09:25Oh, you're lefty.
09:26That's right.
09:27Oh, shoot.
09:28That's his.
09:29Wait, where's mine?
09:32Wait, this is great.
09:34Y'all change spots.
09:39Y'all switch.
09:40Yes.
09:41There you go.
09:42Now y'all can scoot out.
09:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:45One, zero.
09:48Oh, I got this.
09:49Oh, that wasn't bad.
09:51That was going out.
09:52It is so heavy.
09:53Here we go.
09:55Okay.
09:56Nice.
09:57Nice.
10:00Oh, wait.
10:01Out.
10:02Two, zero.
10:03I thought it's out if it's on the dark green.
10:07Oh, frick.
10:08Two, one.
10:10Oh, my God.
10:11Oh, my God.
10:12Hit it.
10:13Oh.
10:14Hit it.
10:15Wait, he's already playing with me.
10:16I can't.
10:18So, on the backhand side, remember you have your backhand.
10:21Three, one.
10:24Oh, .
10:25Try again.
10:26Scoot back.
10:28Nice.
10:33Oh, my God.
10:34No.
10:36Okay.
10:37Four, one.
10:38Okay, I got this.
10:42Oh.
10:43It's four, four.
10:44Sudden death.
10:45Sudden death.
10:46Okay, wait.
10:47Gotta lock in.
10:48Wait.
10:49That was out.
10:50Let's try it again.
10:51Four, four.
10:52Sudden death.

11:23I think I was on the bad side.
11:24Oh.
11:25Yeah.

11:27Yeah.
11:28I didn't want to say anything.
11:29You now get a prize.
11:30I'll forgive you.
