00:27Dave, you know, I saw this throughout the course of the weekend
00:30where some girl got mad at her, I'm going to guess, her boyfriend.
00:34And she actually took his cell phone and threw it, okay, across the room.
00:38Okay, all right.
00:38I like this.
00:39Okay, gotsie.
00:40Well, I kind of did some more investigation here,
00:43and I was kind of looking up some stuff,
00:45and then this came across my radar because, believe it or not,
00:48mobile phone throwing is an international sport that started in Finland in 2000.
00:55I love this.
00:56Can you believe this is an actual sport?
00:59I really love this.
01:00It's where participants throw mobile phones
01:03and are judged on the distance or even technique.
01:06There's actually a world record.
01:09And it goes, the official Guinness world record throw
01:12is about 110 meters, which comes out to be about 360 feet.
01:16Oh, my God, gotsie.
01:20Okay, say that.
01:22What was the distance?
01:24About 110 meters.
01:25It comes out to be about 360 feet.
01:27That's insane.
01:29Yes.
01:29Now, the sponsor provides the phones used in the mobile phone throwing world competition.
01:35There are many different kinds of phones to choose from,
01:37weighing between 220 kilograms to 400 grams,
01:41and every competitor can choose between any of the phones that are provided,
01:45and you don't even get drug tested for this.
01:50You don't get drug tested.
01:51I want in.
01:53I feel like I could throw a phone 130 or 40 meters.
02:00I do.
02:01I feel like this record is conquerable.
02:03Yes.
02:04Especially when I'm mad.
02:06I tell you what.
02:07I'll tell you how you get me to throw my phone.
02:10Simply get me on customer service with Verizon for, like, you know, 35 minutes on hold.
02:18I know.
02:18And I will throw that phone about 500 yards.
02:21I will John Elway this thing.
02:23Playing the, uh, playing that music in the background.
02:26Yeah.
02:27I can probably, you know, the anger builds up, man.
02:29I'm just like, ugh.
02:30Put that stupid hold music in my head for 45 minutes
02:34and watch me throw that phone at a bleeping MetLife Stadium.
02:38Crazy.
02:38All right.
02:39He's got the Eli arm on this one.
02:42There you go.
02:42Wrapping up the news of the day.
02:43That's right.
02:44Mobile phone throwing is an international sport over in Finland.
02:48How about that, huh?
