00:00 In the past Matt has handed me a kite and I can hold it,
00:02 unwind it and wind it back in.
00:03 These are processes I can engage and do.
00:05 (dramatic music)
00:08 - The kite's gone forever.
00:11 - I don't think these kites will be gone forever.
00:13 - No, they're attached to strings.
00:15 - Really?
00:16 - Yeah, don't you know how a kite works?
00:17 Or are you brand new to the concept?
00:18 - I'm really brand new to the concept.
00:20 - Can't do anything until we buy a kite.
00:23 - You think we must buy a kite to participate?
00:24 - But can I buy a kite?
00:26 - I smell fire and I see fire now.
00:28 - I hate tailgating.
00:30 - So are we going to the kite store?
00:33 - What kind did you get?
00:34 - We got a butterfly.
00:34 - How much did it cost?
00:36 - 60 bucks.
00:37 - Oh my God.
00:38 We're looking for Matt and John actually.
00:40 That's one of my focuses.
00:41 - Why don't we spread out?
00:42 - What we were told was that they were
00:44 sort of under the Blu-ray.
00:46 Now we also know that they wanted to have a picnic
00:48 and we also know that John cannot stand the sun.
00:51 So I'm gonna think this is like picnic area.
00:53 - He's gonna pick somewhere where he can't see the kites.
00:55 - Look Gloria, pizza umbrella.
00:57 - Did you just get that now?
00:59 - Would you like to know how much it costs?
01:01 - $45.
01:03 - Keep going up.
01:04 - Up?
01:05 I was already well below that.
01:06 I was in the $25.
01:08 - You're 60.
01:08 - 60.
01:09 - Close John, close.
01:10 - I was close.
01:11 - Mom, can I have the string?
01:12 - We tried to get one at Dollar General
01:14 but they weren't selling any.
01:15 And then we said,
01:15 "Well, she doesn't need to fly a kite to participate."
01:18 And then she got here and said,
01:20 "Give me."
01:21 Did you know that there's a bubble woman
01:22 that has your same technique?
01:24 - I didn't invent any of that.
01:25 - Well, you know, she's a member of your trade.
01:27 - Licensed bubble men's 305.
01:29 - Is this the first time you've ever worn that box neck hat?
01:31 - I think it might be.
01:32 How many of these were minted?
01:33 - 25.
01:34 - Were any available for sale to the general public?
01:36 - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:37 Some people got some.
01:38 - Yeah.
01:39 - Fewer than 25.
01:40 - Fewer than 25.
01:41 - There actually was parking, which came as a shock.
01:43 - Yeah, I was quite surprised too.
01:45 I was very concerned when we arrived.
01:46 - So I would be hopeless stringing this thing up.
01:48 It looks like Nina kind of knows what she's doing.
01:50 Let's look at what he's got in his collection.
01:52 A purple, a jet plane, a Lego bag.
01:55 But the one he didn't have was this butterfly one.
01:57 I think he has a butterfly.
01:58 It's just in poor condition.
02:00 - He doesn't have the same as that one though.
02:02 So he's not.
02:03 - Yeah, your butterfly is way cooler.
02:04 These are the kites that I found here in the kite graveyard.
02:09 - Abandoned kites last year?
02:11 - Well, I mean, you can see all these up in the air.
02:13 And some of them get caught loose or whatever.
02:14 I think I caught it in the trees.
02:16 - Matt has been softly recommending this for content
02:19 for about three years.
02:20 - Yeah.
02:21 - And then last year he got you to do it.
02:23 - Yes.
02:24 Well, I think it's fun.
02:24 I mean, it's free.
02:25 There's a cool display of kites.
02:27 - I just noticed that.
02:29 Oh, there they are.
02:30 - Do you remember in Plymouth when we flew a kite?
02:31 It was a barbie kite, I think.
02:33 - Yeah, I love it.
02:34 Are you a kite flying expert?
02:36 - No, but I would call Matt a kite flying expert.
02:39 Though I will say, last year,
02:40 when the event was canceled, by the way,
02:42 there were more kites.
02:43 The wind is good today for flying.
02:45 - Now for audio on the other hand.
02:47 (laughing)
02:48 - Yeah, they're getting great audio in dead kites
02:50 or bad audio in flying kites.
02:52 - You can see way up high, those boring looking kites
02:54 that provide incredible lift.
02:56 And then you can put cool display kites
02:58 down below on the line.
02:59 - Oh yeah.
03:00 - Uh, oh yeah.
03:02 - Look, my entire kite education
03:03 comes from contending last year.
03:06 - Yeah, inflatable dragon's pretty rad.
03:07 - I really like the purple one in the back.
03:09 - Like sea kaiju.
03:10 - Come on up, kite.
03:12 Let's get Matt's advice, 'cause I am a kite dude.
03:15 Go back there a little bit, Gloria.
03:17 I'll come with you.
03:17 Just watch out for that line.
03:19 Watch out, watch out, you're taking it out.
03:20 You have to put it in your hand
03:21 so you can let it out in controlled ways.
03:23 You gotta hold it like this.
03:24 - We're gonna get this kite fly.
03:26 There you go.
03:31 - I've been collecting kites for like the last 20 years,
03:36 but I've never made one.
03:37 And recently within the last year,
03:39 I had an idea of repurposing old materials
03:42 to make a new kite.
03:44 I went to Savers and I bought an old prom dress.
03:48 - Oh my God, oh, that's so cool.
03:49 - But I don't think there's any way this is getting up there.
03:51 - You finally have a prom date.
03:53 (laughing)
03:54 - Maybe in stronger ones.
03:56 I mean, I also have material to fill in these.
03:59 So this is like, I guess my prototype.
04:01 It's a perfect kind of like triangle shape.
04:03 And it has elements that are really nice
04:05 to kind of catch in the sun.
04:07 - It's almost got a little bit of an element of a,
04:08 is the dress blue or is the dress gold?
04:10 - In order to keep the kite from listing back and forth,
04:15 a good tail is what kind of balances it out.
04:17 - How is it that something that heavy and that large
04:19 is staying nice and afloat the whole day?
04:22 - Well, the material is made out of really, really light.
04:24 This is designed specifically to be light
04:27 and then also not let air through.
04:30 - What makes this your favorite kite?
04:32 - Big and colorful, one of my oldest ones.
04:36 - Then they got kite adjacent things like, you know,
04:38 this stuff.
04:40 - It's a technically wind sock.
04:41 - John, I don't want to call you out,
04:42 but you look like a man who doesn't want to be in the sun.
04:45 - Oh, that is accurate.
04:45 There are a few things I like less than being in the sun.
04:48 I'm thoroughly doused in sun lotion, SPF 50.
04:52 I've had enough problems without skin cancer.
04:53 This is such a spectator sport for me.
04:55 I mean, in the past, Matt has handed me a kite
04:57 and I can hold it, unwind it and wind it back in.
04:59 These are processes I can engage and do.
05:01 My mother, knowing how much I love kites,
05:03 bought this for me for Christmas,
05:05 but then it went, it's a little temperamental.
05:07 (upbeat music)
05:10 - Whoa.
05:11 - I'm doing it.
05:18 - You got that thing good?
05:20 - I'm trying to like, not get it tangled
05:22 in everyone else's kites,
05:23 because the kite density here is not extreme,
05:25 but pretty high.
05:26 - Stand right over here.
05:28 - I'm gonna add a little bit of string.
05:29 - Here we go.
05:30 Gloria's about to fly this sucker.
05:31 Hey, you're doing it.
05:34 Look, it's still flying.
05:37 It's still flying.
05:38 - When you see it starting to fall,
05:39 you're gonna want to pull it.
05:41 - Hey, nice work.
05:44 - This is incredibly stressful.
05:47 - You're doing a great job right now.
05:48 - Hey, I'm gonna actually fly over our head.
05:52 (upbeat music)
