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.
00:53We 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?
01:09Can I do that?
01:10Wow.
01:10Right?
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.
01:19He's 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.
01:32We do our list when it went.
01:34And once you hit 10 in a row,
01:39you should be nice and warm, nice 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.
01:56Right there in the hand.
01:58Oh, sh**.
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 10 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.
02:19So you let it go and you try to catch it.
02:23With the least amount of bounces possible.
02:26Nice, nice.
02:28Okay, piece of cake.
02:30You are very talented and athletic.
02:32Oh, sorry.
02:33The next one is, now we're going to toss it up in the air and catch it as softly as possible.
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 the ball.
02:52And have a soft hand.
02:55Soft hands, soft hands.
02:56Yep, so you almost want to follow the ball with the racket and as it gets closer, you slow it down.
03:03So instead of waiting for it, you kind of come down with it.
03:07There it is.
03:08That's it.
03:09Yep.
03:09So see my racket?
03:12See how I'm going up and down with the ball?
03:15Nice and easy.
03:17Uh-huh.
03:19And then the better you are, the higher you can toss it.
03:23Okay, very good.
03:23Not bad.
03:24Very impressed.
03:26Let's move on.
03:27Second warm-up.
03:29Okay, so this is round two.
03:31We're going to step it up with the coordination, okay, because tennis is all about coordination.
03:35Got it, got it.
03:40Hands and feet work together.
03:42Yes.
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 time.
03:51Hey!
03:52Sorry.
03:53Hold the chatter.
03:55Jeez Louise.
03:56Continue coach.
03:57Gen Z, my God.
03:59Okay, so what we're going to do is we're going to shuffle through these cones, right?
04:04Pretty simple, pretty simple.
04:05But at the same time, we're going to be dribbling the ball.
04:08So we're going to be here.
04:10It's a lot of coordination.
04:11Shuffle side to side.
04:13That's right, got it?
04:14I'm pretty sure there's a soccer drill like this.
04:15Let's do it one more time.
04:16Let's do it one more time.
04:17Yeah, you might have to.
04:18You might have to.
04:18Oh, my back just cracked.
04:20Let's go.
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.
04:32Oh, wait.
04:32I'm doing better.
04:33Nice, nice.
04:34Oh, shoot.
04:35Very nice, very nice.
04:36Not bad, not bad.
04:37I just can't.
04:38What is this?
04:39Okay.
04:40Not bad, not bad.
04:40I hated that one.
04:43Ranking it two out of ten.
04:45Hey, you know what?
04:46They all did better.
04:47That was pretty good.
04:48There's a bee.
04:49Oh, God.
04:52Actors.
04:54So for our third warm-up, 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.
05:08You're going to take your racket, keep it simple, wait for contact, and you're just going to smash it right into the cones.
05:14The goal is to knock over as many cones as possible, okay?
05:18Okay.
05:18Piece of cake.
05:19You are professionals.
05:20Here we go.
05:22Okay.
05:23But that was close.
05:24Come on.
05:25I'm going to stand over here.
05:26Okay.
05:26Wait.
05:26Be patient.
05:27Be patient.
05:31Dammit.
05:31Okay, not bad, not bad, not bad.
05:33I...
05:33We might not be here all day.
05:35I feel like we will be here all day.
05:39We have till 7 p.m.
05:43Okay.
05:43This is hard.
05:44Yeah, this is difficult.
05:45This is a tough one.
05:46Can I say bad words?
05:47I don't know.
05:48I was wondering...
05:48Shoot.
05:50Dang, nabbit.
05:50We have to switch this up because we're never going to hit it ever.
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 how 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...
06:04This is okay.
06:05It's like a pancake, so hold it like a frying pan.
06:08So you're just waiting for it, and then you just like...
06:11Okay.
06:12Here we go.
06:13Oh, not bad.
06:16Not bad.
06:17Oh, my God, girl.
06:18Not bad.
06:20Not bad.
06:21That was not good.
06:22No, it was good.
06:25Oh, shit.
06:26Hey!
06:27Oh, shit.
06:29I was like...
06:29She did it.
06:30Did you get that?
06:31She did it.
06:32One, two, three, four.
06:34Savannah, you're up.
06:35Oh, my God.
06:36Oh, here we go.
06:37Look alive.
06:38That one's a little high for me, Jessie.
06:39Oh, my goodness.
06:45Why'd they give you the baby rack?
06:46I should probably knock it.
06:47It's easier.
06:48I should probably knock it.
06:48It's half in the net, right?
06:50Oops.
06:53Oh, boy.
06:54That scared me.
06:55Sorry.
06:55Here we go.
06:55I'm so sorry.
06:56That was aggressive.
06:57Okay.
06:58Yeah, you see that jump?
06:59Yeah.
07:01Yeah.
07:02Nice.
07:02Nice.
07:03That's five.
07:06Okay, here we go.
07:07Ten balls left.
07:08Super speed.
07:13Oh, this guy's a champion now.
07:15I know.
07:17Damn it.
07:17My stomach gets butterflies every time I hit it.
07:21Yeah, me too.
07:23Okay, last round.
07:24You know what?
07:25There was cones there.
07:27Oh, I'm like actually hitting the ball and not aiming.
07:31I need to aim.
07:32It's a little lighter.
07:32Oh, softer.
07:33Softer.
07:35Oh, s***.
07:36That worked.
07:37Here we go.
07:41It hit it with the noise.
07:43Zero.
07:43Okay.
07:44Not bad.
07:45Not very impressive.
07:46Very impressive.
07:47You got six.
07:48You got five.
07:49How many did you get?
07:50Zero.
07:50Zero.
07:50Okay, so that wraps up our last warm-up.
07:53Time for a game.
07:55So we're only playing half court.
07:58So you don't have to take your racket all the way back here.
08:01These are very bouncy.
08:02Okay.
08:02So just think about waiting for contact
08:04and then going back of the hand to the ear.
08:08Yeah.
08:09It's almost like you're sliding up a wall.
08:11Okay.
08:12So here.
08:13Uh-huh.
08:14Back of the hand to the ear.
08:15And then for the backhand,
08:16you have both hands on the racket.
08:19Back of the hand to the ear.
08:20Yeah, straight to the ear.
08:22The more you do this,
08:23the further it's going to go.
08:24And we don't necessarily need all that.
08:26So always basically this way.
08:27Just straight to the ear.
08:27So it should, the ball should fall
08:30in this small two squares.
08:34Yep, yep, yep.
08:35Okay.
08:35And if all else fails,
08:36just like softly dink it back.
08:38And you're saying to the ear,
08:39is it going this way or is it going this way?
08:41Yeah, it rolls.
08:42It rolls up.
08:43So it's,
08:43it rolls up.
08:44Your palm is facing forward and it rolls up.
08:46Okay.
08:47Okay, here we go.
08:48This is the game.
08:50It's first to five.
08:51Mm-hmm.
08:51Rally style.
08:53Okay.
08:54Going to serve the ball up to you
08:55and we're going to start hitting it back and forth.
08:57First one to score wins a point.
08:59Five points wins the game.
09:02Got it?
09:03Got it.
09:04I'm partnered with Savannah here.
09:05So, uh,
09:07we're going to win.
09:10The story,
09:11but I don't remember really well.
09:12Oh, shoot.
09:13Lock in.
09:15Phew.
09:16That was the biggest swing in the world.
09:19I'm a little jittery from my Dunkin' coffee.
09:21Not being a lie.
09:22Almost, almost, almost.
09:26Oh, you're lefty.
09:27That's right.
09:28Oh, shoot.
09:29That's his.
09:31Wait, where's mine?
09:33Wait, this is great.
09:38Y'all change spots.
09:40Y'all switch.
09:41Yes.
09:42There you go.
09:43Now y'all can scoot out.
09:45Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:45One zero.
09:48Oh, I got this.
09:50Oh, that wasn't bad.
09:51That was going out.
09:52It is so heavy.
09:54Here we go.
09:56Okay.
09:57Nice.
09:58Nice.
10:00Oh, wait.
10:02Two zero.
10:03I thought it's out if it's on the dark green.
10:07Oh, frick.
10:10Two one.
10:10Oh, my God.
10:11Oh, my God.
10:13Hit it.
10:14Hit it.
10:15Wait, he's already playing, but not me.
10:16I can't.
10:18So, on the backhand side, remember you have your backhand.
10:22Three one.
10:24Oh, s***.
10:25Try again.
10:26Scoot back.
10:29Nice.
10:29Oh, my God.
10:35No.
10:37Okay.

10:42It's four four.
10:45Sudden death.
10:46Sudden death.
10:47Okay, wait.
10:47Gotta lock in.
10:49Wait.
10:49That was out.
10:50Let's try it again.
10:51Four four.
10:51Sudden death.

11:21Anyways, you get a prize.
11:23I think we did switch sides.
11:24I think I was on the bad side.
11:26Yeah.
11:26You're probably right.
11:27Yeah.
11:27I didn't want to say anything.
11:28Yeah.
11:29It's okay.
11:29You now get a prize.
11:31I'll forgive you.
11:31A million dollars?
11:34Is it a million dollars?
11:35Because that changes things.
11:38You'll see.
11:39You'll see what it is.
11:40I think you're going to like it.
11:41It's very special.
