Defconn falls in love again? [2 Days & 1 Night - Season 3 / 2017.05.28] - Duration: 10:10.

- You have to win. / - This is the last round.

- This is the final round. / - It's the last one.

If you lose, Team Changyoung will

- win the first game. / - Junho.

Be careful.

(Junho is the holder again.)

You might lose a few teeth.

He's in elementary school, and he says

to a 43-year-old man he will lose some teeth.

I can't have this. I'll tell your coach to scold you.

- He won't. / - Get ready.

Let's start.

Ready.

Don't turn too fast.

- One, two, three... / - Don't turn too fast.

He's fast.

- 5 more. / - 10, 11,

- 12, 13, / - 12, 13,

- Go, Go. / - Run!

- Go, Go. / - Run!

- Here it is. / - Hurry!

You have to hurry. No.

(Hitting)

He hit me with it. Isn't that cheating?

Why?

- He hit me. Isn't that cheating? / - He cheated.

- Taehyun hit him. / - He hit me.

He hit me!

- Kids. / - You should all come.

You should all come out when we're fighting.

- Hey. / - Let's not fight.

You can hit him too.

They're having a bench-clearing brawl.

It's such an unsightly scene.

- You can hit him too. / - Go ahead.

I'm sorry.

I suddenly thought of my son.

Why did you hit me?

You reminded me of my son.

That's cheating.

- Kids. / - He should be disqualified.

Kids. You didn't lose yet.

- It's still a tie. / - It's a tie.

He cheated.

- He cheated. / - We played fair.

If it's a tie, we can still eat.

Do we have a new headband?

Ready.

Go!

Go!

(They're fast as the teams' aces.)

- Two, three, four, five, / - Two, three, four, five,

- six, seven, eight... / - six, seven, eight...

(What?)

- seven... / - seven...

Gosh, look at him!

- That's too bad. / - Eight...

(Joonyoung calmly keeps his speed.)

- That's too bad. / - eight, nine, ten,

- 12, 13, 14, 15! / - Is he really the ace?

Is he really the ace?

- You should keep turning. / - Hit him!

- You should keep turning. / - Hit him!

(Hit him!)

Hit him!

(Who will be the final winner?)

(Gosh!)

(Minho hits the target at the same time.)

(We won!)

- Come here. / - No. He cheated.

- He didn't turn enough. / - He should've turned more.

(It looked like he didn't turn enough.)

Did he do 15 turns? Did he?

It was 15 turns exactly.

For the first game, "Let's Be the Top Hitter",

Team Changyoung won.

(Team Changyoung won!)

I let you win.

We turned faster, but lost.

(We won't let you win the next game.)

The second game is "Let's Strike Out".

("Let's Strike Out")

What? Strike out?

You should throw balls and hit the toys.

Each toy has points written on it.

Three players from each team will play,

and we will add up the points.

The team with more points wins this game.

Baseball is actually a battle of ball control.

Even professional players practice hitting targets.

It's their actual training.

Players in the Major League do it too.

This game will help them practice the ball control.

It's what they have in amusement parks.

Defconn wants to throw the ball at Hyang,

because she's doll-like.

(Junho plays Cupid.)

You can't throw a ball at a person.

(We hope they'll end up together.)

We'll give you some time to work out a plan,

so pick three people who will play.

Try throwing the ball. I will

take a look.

Go, Siyoon.

(How well can he throw the ball?)

(He's bad at it as expected.)

- You're the worst. / - Siyoon!

You're terrible at it.

You're the worst.

- Siyoon. / - My gosh.

- You're out. / - Siyoon is out.

(He has no control of the ball.)

He's out already.

He can be a Major League player.

(Defconn is out too.)

You're out.

(Jongmin tries it.)

(He hit the target on his first try.)

(Jongmin shows potential.)

Okay.

You should grab the ball along the line.

- There are stitches on the ball. / - Let me see.

Grab the ball along the line and throw it.

- You're good. / - You should play.

Gosh.

(Thanks to Jongmin, Taehyun hits the target as well.)

(Joonyoung shows potential too.)

Junho, try throwing a little harder.

- Harder? / - Yes.

(Junho follows his advice)

(and almost hits the target.)

That's great.

We're getting better.

I'll announce the players now.

All right.

I'm actually quite anxious.

I'm nervous.

- I'm so nervous. / - I get how the players feel.

The first pitcher is

(The first pitcher)

Cha Taehyun.

He's the first pitcher.

The second pitcher is...

- It's the second pitcher. / - Kim Junho.

(The second pitcher is Junho.)

I'm Maeda.

The closer is Kim Jongmin.

(The last pitcher is Jongmin.)

I worked hard for this.

- Now... / - What's a closer?

- Close? / - A closer.

It's the last pitcher.

Did you think being the closer is a bad thing?

- All right. One, two, three. / - One, two, three.

- Let's go! / - Let's go!

(They start the hard training.)

- We can do this. / - Nice!

(They're doing great.)

You're the ace.

Hit his leg.

- Hit his leg. / - Goodness.

- Goodness. / - You're all so good.

(Hitting Junho is a good training.)

We throw better if it's a person.

Wear this later. This is my cap.

- Thank you. / - Please wear it.

- This is my cap. / - Thank you.

- It has my number and record. / - It really does.

Good. Wear it and receive his energy.

(We can win with his energy!)

Each team will take turns to play.

Each player can throw five balls.

You can throw five balls each.

We'll pay you five dollars. Give us five more balls.

- Give them a penalty. / - Why?

- They do it every day. / - They're good.

- That's right. / - We've never done this.

- Really? / - Is that so?

I'm sorry.

We'll just do it.

We need to see a demonstration, so let's ask

Minchul, the legendary pitcher.

His number is 23.

Hold on. Minchul.

You're a legend. Shouldn't you go further?

Why don't you throw it on the mound?

From there?

- Isn't that too far? / - He'll hit the red one.

It's been almost ten years since I retired.

It's really far.

(His capability lasts forever.)

(Jung Minchul, the legendary pitcher)

(The young baseball players are watching.)

He's throwing the first pitch. It's a strike.

(I'll show you the pitch from my best days.)

We believe in you, Minchul.

Here we go, Minchul.

You should pick the target first.

- The one in the middle. / - In the middle?

- For one point? / - Yes.

Please hit the right eye of the bear.

I'm not sure I can do this.

- If he fails, it'd hurt his pride. / - That's right.

- He can do this, right? / - That's right.

Here we go!

- Gosh, it's a strike. / - Strike!

(Surprised)

- Strike! / - Strike!

The first pitch didn't hit. This is the second pitch.

The first pitch didn't hit. This is the second pitch.

(It's amazing.)

(He's a legend for a reason.)

- He's getting better. / - The table is dented.

He keeps throwing strikes.

Hold on. We'll switch pitchers.

Hold on. We'll switch pitchers.

- We want to switch. / - They want to switch players.

They want to switch players.

- There is only one ball left. / - They'll switch.

(He refuses to be switched.)

Minchul. This is like "Father's Challenge".

- All right. / - "Father's Challenge".

It's "Father's Challenge".

It's not that hard.

Minchul will try it again now.

He has to hit one.

That was close.

Minchul has to hit it now.

He's a bit upset now.

- All right. / - Go!

Too bad. If this was a game, he'd have lost 50 dollars.

He'd have spent 50 dollars already.

I haven't been this tired in three years.

He hasn't been this tired in three years.

Let's go.

What about an under throw?

(He keeps failing.)

He's moving forward eventually.

He came to the front.

He moved forward to hit the target.

You're here.

What are you doing?

You should pay for the game at least.

You're freeloading.

He's thrown 50 balls.

We'll be closing our store soon.

We'll be closing our store soon.

(He finally hits the target.)

Nice!

He did it.

Are you okay?

- 50 balls. / - His shoulder is making sounds.

Do you want to try it, Hyang?

- Hyang. / - Hyang will give it a try.

The beauty of baseball, Lee Hyang.

Maybe she will get five points.

She's seen many games, so she might be good.

(She hits the target in a stable posture.)

(Surprised)

(She's even more surprised.)

(Minchul was watching in doubt.)

She defeated Minchul.

I can't believe this.

She hurt the legend's pride!

She hit it on her first try.

He threw 50 balls to succeed.

What does this make him?

It says his earned run average is 3.51.

His earned run average is 3.51.

This puts Minchul to such shame.

- Hyang, you're amazing. / - What a shame.

This is a bad day for him.

(Embarrassed)

The losers explore the wild life without sleeping [2 Days & 1 Night - Season 3 / 2017.05.28] - Duration: 10:50.

(Korea Legacy Guards)

("All-night Exploration of the Wild")

(Who won the cut-throat battle?)

(Taehyun and Joonyoung will sleep indoors.)

(Defconn and Jongmin must film a wild animal.)

(Junho and Siyoon must film three mammals.)

(Will their exploration be successful?)

(Junho and Siyoon head to Seosi Stream.)

(Defconn and Jongmin head to Mount Jiri.)

We're off to meet the wild animals of Mount Jiri.

We volunteered for this task, didn't we?

No, we're going because we lost.

Yes, we completely flopped.

- Let's go. / - What if this is our last?

The last video of our lives?

We might only end up leaving this behind.

You look really scary.

What?

We don't know what kind of animals we'll encounter.

It could be wild boars

or Asian black bears.

We'll see you soon then.

(See you later.)

(Junho and Siyoon arrive at Seosi Stream.)

Hello, sir. It's a pleasure to meet you.

(Kim Jeongjin of the Korea National Park Service)

You must've lost the games.

Yes, that's right.

So what kind of wild animals live around here?

Raccoons, otters, elks, and leopard cats.

- Another term for them... / - Leopard cats?

We'll need to shine light on them to find them,

but wouldn't that scare them away?

They don't run away, but they will look at you

and freeze on the spot.

You'll use this searchlight

to seek them out.

Gosh, look at this.

Look how bright the light is.

- Here. / - It could even pierce through the night sky.

(It's super bright.)

This is the place where wild animals live.

We're only visiting.

We don't want to disturb their peace,

so please don't do anything that'll provoke them.

- Let's get going then. / - Shall we?

(This is their first wilderness exploration.)

An elk would stop right here.

What's that?

(Junho spots something.)

(Have they spotted a wild animal)

(just minutes after their exploration begun?)

They're birds.

(Finding a bird is useless.)

Look, birds.

- Watch them fly. / - We can see everything.

We can see them until they disappear.

- There. / - Where?

- I see a crane. / - Yes, over there.

What's that?

- It's a grey heron. / - A grey heron?

We at least spotted something.

Look at it fly.

(With its wings spread out wide)

What a marvelous sight.

(The grey heron soars up into the sky.)

There are birds here, so there must be others too.

(Can they keep the momentum up?)

I have a good feeling about today.

I can't see a thing.

- This is insane. / - It's pitch black.

How do we get up there?

- We take the trail. / - We can't go.

(A dark and dangerous exploration road)

Our smell could attract them.

- I'll go first. / - Why?

I'm worried that a bear will attack me from behind.

(You can always throw the first punch.)

If it did, it'll probably attack from up front.

This is nerve-wracking.

- Jongmin and Defconn. / - Yes?

Take this camera

and place it at a site where animals could appear.

(By ourselves?)

Let's head up.

Defconn, take this.

I'm holding this one.

(This is insane.)

- Unbelievable. / - Where should we place this?

(The camera should be where the others don't cover.)

(The staff and medical team will be close by.)

I can't see a thing.

(They head off to place the camera.)

How far are you going?

(They climb up the hill.)

(They find a good place for the camera.)

(Jongmin carefully sets up the camera.)

This is a good spot.

Make sure that it can cover a wide angle.

I see one.

(Did he already spot a wild animal?)

What's that?

It's one of our cameras.

At night, their eyes sparkle.

Your eyes are sparkling too.

(They're brimming with tears.)

It needs to shoot in infrared mode.

Yes, that's good.

Isn't this the right button?

(The camera is on.)

Is it filming?

It should be able to cover the distance.

(He goes to check if it's recording properly.)

Can you see me?

- This is our tent, isn't it? / - This one?

- Is this it? / - Yes.

Gosh. It's too small.

(It's equipped with cozy blankets)

(and monitors that are connected to the cameras.)

("Find the Wild Animals in Mount Jiri")

- Awesome. / - What can we do with it?

Is it working?

Don't move it around too much and just zoom in and out.

- This button is for zooming in. / - Number two?

Scroll up and down

- Okay. / - to zoom in and out.

You two will go back...

Go back? To where?

- What? / - One of us goes back?

- You two will take turns / - At home...

and keep a night watch.

- We were thinking of doing that. / - All right.

- I'll close this in case a wild boar gets in. / - Yes.

A bear can suddenly get in here.

(He's fully prepared.)

I don't think bears would come. Maybe boars would.

- Gosh. / - Gosh, it might come through here.

- Close it. / - It can't be closed completely.

- No, no. / - I can't completely close it.

What if they come through it?

(They are cowards.)

- Tie it. / - I should.

It'd be really fun if we catch one.

Right?

(Surprised)

There's nothing.

(There is nothing around to be seen.)

- Don't make it move. / - This one doesn't have sound.

Keep an eye on them.

This is a heat detector.

(It can record the body temperature of wild animals.)

- This is fun. / - Stop moving it.

- It's so fun. Let go of me. / - Hold on.

- It's not a game console. / - It's so fun.

It'd be if nice we could hear the sound as well.

(Will wild animals show up?)

I feel like something moved over there.

We're lucky we're on the mountain.

Imagine how wet it'd be at the swamp.

- It's so much better here. / - Imagine the insects.

Why don't you lie back like this?

Goodness.

(Startled)

(Is it a surprise visit by a wild animal?)

My goodness.

(Would this be his last video record like he said?)

(The thing that surprised Jongmin)

(is a cute little bug.)

That came in all the way.

(How brave he is.)

It's camel cricket.

- It's just a cricket. / - My goodness.

- Come on. / - Gosh.

- Do something about it. / - Jongmin.

(Please scare it away!)

My gosh!

(He makes a fuss about it.)

- Don't do that. It's still there. / - Hold on.

(If you make so much noise...)

It's gone now. It got out.

(you will scare the wild animals away.)

Call Kim Jongmin.

Calling Kim Jongmin.

Hello?

Hello?

(They got a phone call from those sleeping indoors.)

- What is it? / - What's up?

Did you find some animals?

No.

(They won't be able to come back tonight.)

What? You're indoors. What?

What are those?

Fancy equipment, right?

- Are you in a tent or what? / - Yes.

- We're in a tent. / - It's a camouflage tent.

You should be able to catch one soon.

What we installed...

(Surprised)

(Something suddenly fell from the ceiling.)

(It's a tape used to fix the light.)

Much effort was put in installing, so I'll capture one.

I see. That sounds good.

- You should come. / - We're having so much fun here.

- Come, it's fun. / - It's so exciting to wait here.

I'm scared to go all the way there.

- Something's coming soon. / - I'm scared to go there.

- Let's call Junho. It'll be funny. / - I know.

They must be at the swamp now.

(He receives a message from Joonyoung.)

I got a message from Joonyoung.

(He tries video calling him.)

Hey.

What's going on?

The other team has finished already.

(He lies.)

(This can't be real.)

I don't believe you.

They have eight cameras.

- They're monitoring 8 cameras in their tent. / - Yes.

Did they find an animal?

They already found one animal.

So is it over now?

Yes.

(The liars deceived them.)

You're doomed.

You're doomed.

(We're really doomed.)

(Team Stream feels rushed after hearing the fake news.)

(They're even more eager to complete the mission.)

(They started searching again at a fast pace.)

(Siyoon reactivates his hawkish eyes.)

Where on earth are they?

(Since we're here anyway,)

(we will find you.)

(Just then...)

There it is.

- Did you find one? / - Yes.

Everyone, that's not a stain. It's a bat.

It's a bat.

(They found a bat at last.)

There's a bat.

- It took quite long. / - Bats are mammals, right?

(They spotted an animal on their first exploration.)

(He films the precious moment.)

Bats are mammals as well.

(Bats are considered as mammal.)

(Surprised)

(They're really surprised.)

(The adorable bat suddenly flies away.)

- We're done now. We filmed it. / - That's right.

- It's enough. Let's go. / - Let's.

You found one animal in total.

Bats are cute. I thought they'd be creepy.

Homosexuality is illegal in Singapore // Martijn around the world // Trip #4 - Duration: 5:51.

Hi, great to have you back…. ...in the men's room in Singapore!!

If you ever use public restrooms in Singapore never forget to flush….

...It can set you back 500 Singapore dollars in fines should they catch you.

Welcome ;-)

Toilet now flushed, hands rinsed.

Great to see you on my new trip, this time I'm in Singapore.

Time for a little test.

It's said that Singaporeans are the fastest walkers in the world, close to 6,15 km/h.

But how fast is this really?

Let me check this out with Snapchat.

I'm currently walking my average, normal pace. I'm 1.90 tall.

But even so I'd never expected to be such a slow walker compared to the locals. Makes me want to move faster ;-)

Orchard Road is famous for it's shopping. You'll find all the regular high-end brands here.

But you can also go to...

...Buggis Street. A local market right behind me.

Vintage clothing and many other vintage stuff, some say it compares to the La Marais area in Paris.

Aren't they cute?

On the other hand, this might be just your kind of thing.

The story goes this to be a fashion lovers paradise.

I'm a little disappointed though.

It's more like a big bazaar with local low-cost rip-offs.

This is my own little favorite: Haji Lane.

Boutique shops and restaurants scattered around this tiny little alley.

This next stop brings me to the beach.

Whilst I crazy for warm days, today it's averaging around 33-34 degrees in Singapore.

So it's nice to look for a refreshing bit of cool down.

Right here at the Sentosa Island. The most southern part of Singapore.

This place was built with one thing in mind: to relax.

So yes, it's not really authentic.

You'll find an aerial tramway...

...small beach buggy's. Pet's ;-)

and THE BEACH!

There's hardly anyone here!

If you're afraid of heights then this may be a bit of a challenge.

We are going up! 280 meters to the highest rooftop in the world.

1 Altitude.

There are so many view points in this city. For example the Marina Bay Sands Hotel.

This landmark hotel comes with it's own rooftop pool, shaped like a boat.

It's crazy, but real ;-)

I'll be going to the large wheel behind me, it's the Singapore Flyer.

If you're like me and you're afraid of heights, try to overcome it.

Staying away from the glass. I am sort of OK that way.

However the view is simply stunning.

It feels like you're stepping into a James Bond movie from the 70's or 80's.

It's almost like this scary guy steps into the scene with big teeth cutting through the safety lines.

Ok. We are still here.

Heat doesn't usually get me but you can tell by my hair it's a very hot day.

The feels like temperature is well above 40 degrees today, this is at 33 degrees measured in the shades.

Speaking of temperatures, the lowest temperature ever recorded in Singapore was over 80 years ago.

It's my favorite temperature...

20 degrees!

Homosexuality is illegal in Singapore however it is tolerated.

It is quite bizarre!

There are many gay bars you can go to. It's Friday night and I'm taking you to Tantric.

The Friday night scores:

So this was Singapore in Asia. One big amusement park.

Little authenticity and that's not so crazy because they built this country in 50 years!

Lot's of rules, you can't buy alcohol between 22.30 and 07.00 for example.

Importing cigarettes from abroad can set you back €200 in fines.

Thumbs up if you liked my video :-)

Why Turkey Will Never Be Saudi Arabia | Everybody's Lying About Islam 13 - Duration: 6:04.

Hey there.

I lived in Turkey for five years, and I've watched the one thing everybody knows about

the country change.

Five years ago it was "that's the country where East meets West".

Now it's "Isn't Turkey getting more Islamic".

Both of these statements are true in some senses, but get sillier the closer you look

at the country.

In particular, the extreme version of this sentiment.

"Turkey's turning into Saudi Arabia" is deeply ridiculous.

To explain why this is, I'm going to need to talk about the English Civil War.

Obviously.

In 1641 England had a king named Charles, a parliament, a ruling aristocracy, and a

thriving commercial culture that would change the world.

In 1660 England had a king named Charles, a parliament, a ruling aristocracy, and a

thriving commercial culture that was changing the world.

It seems the same but in fact it was quite different.

In 1660 the Parliament was much more powerful.

It took another three decades to really settle it, but this era saw the birth of England's

modern political system.

Elements of this English system are now present in almost every country in the world.

It's what happened between these two years that makes me think of Turkey today.

What happened in the middle was the English Civil war.

A group of religious fanatics, far more extreme than Turkey's AK party today, took over

the country.

Under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, wait sorry, Under the leadership of Oliver

Cromwell, the New Model Army rose to power, smashing religious iconography, destroying

the old establishment and taking charge.

The parallels between Cromwell and Erdogan are striking.

Though the English leader was much more extreme.

Cromwell started out as a figure that stood up for fire and brimstone Christianity and

the people's right to govern themselves, and then ended up destroying that right, setting

up personal, authoritarian rule.

But he couldn't change England entirely.

Even after the death of the king, and as many as 200,000 Irish, English, Scottish, and Welsh

soldiers and Civilians Cromwell couldn't build his religious utopia.

It didn't last for much more than a year after his death.

What he was bumping up against was English culture and institutions.

Religious fanatics can take power for a while in any society, but they can't truly defeat

the generations deep traditions and inclinations of a country.

The English wanted a king and a strong parliament and they got it.

They've still got it today, though in a very different mix.

Erdogan has the same problem Cromwell did.

Even if he wanted to turn Turkey into Saudi Arabia or Iran, which I don't really think

he does, he couldn't.

There's just too much history there.

Saudi Arabia's development is unique.

It tries hard to claim the heritage of the ancient Islamic empires, dating back to the

time of the prophet.

In truth, however, the Sauds stole Mecca and Medina from the real owners of that heritage

back in the 1920's.

Back then Saudi Arabia had a distinctly pre-modern blank slate of a society.

It had a royal family and a religious establishment, but that was it.

Thanks to oil wealth they were able to build a country from scratch very quickly.

Before oil, Saudi Arabia didn't have much in the way of institutions, history, an educational

establishment, or even people really.

Saudi society is as weird as it is because it's been invented out of thin air in less

than a century.

No Turkish leader will ever have that opportunity.

Some Turkish institutions, like the University of Istanbul, and to some extent its military,

go back 500 years.

Before the Ottoman Empire fell in the 1920's it had been reforming and modernizing for

over a century.

A Turkish parliament, no matter how many times it has been ripped up and started over, dates

back to 1876.

Saudi Arabia still doesn't really have one.

Ataturk, the father of the Turkish Republic, a deeply anti-religious figure, set Turkey's

path in 1923.

For 80 years Turks were brought up to believe their country was a secular republic.

Erdogan's rise in the first decade of the century showed that there were many who were

not content with a completely anti-religious government.

Turkey wants to be a little more religious.

But it also wants to be a secular republic.

No matter how many people he purges, Erdogan can't beat history out of Turkey.

He will never be able to defeat the legacy of Ataturk, and he will never be able to do

without the country's centuries old institutions.

This history is in the hearts and minds of his opponents, but it's also in the hearts

and minds of his supporters as well.

When the Turkish Cromwell finally leaves the stage, a stronger, better Turkey will emerge,

just as it did in England so many years ago.

Turkey can never be Saudi Arabia.
