I chatted with Phil Cox (the co-owner of Yes, Absolutely!) and Nick Corea (the yo-yo modding legend also known as Ferral Parrot) about a yo-yo called The End. We talked about what the boutique yo-yo scene was like in the 2000s, how modding influenced the design, the origin of schmoove grooves, and much more. It’s a long chat, but casual and informative. I think there’s something in here for everyone.

I remember way back then. Modder are really cool. 🤓 ---

Wow! Well done. I’ve been wondering about the origin of the schmoove groove (despite the hint in the engraving on the End). ---

Wasn’t expecting poetic phrases like “metalic diarrhea.” Loving this. ---

Yeah, I show mine off at about 5 minutes in to this interview with Jake Bullock [https://youtu.be/dwkQKcSClug?t=295](https://youtu.be/dwkQKcSClug?t=295) ---

I haven’t. It’s already a bit of work to make the video itself. I just haven’t had the energy to do an audio version and then have to learn about setting up podcast feeds and RSS again. If there was much interest I might try. ---

It’s been done on a few. Wouldn’t recommend it, much like the original End, the walls are too thin for it, doesn’t make for a durable yoyo. The original Fluchs is amazing, no need to mess with an original like that 😁 ---

I agree! I’m a podcast listener and I very seldom get a chance watch an actual YouTube video these days… A lot of other podcast I follow stream on YouTube at the same time of recording and then later put it to a podcast. ---
