[MALLET STRIKING BALL]
Oh, boy.
Hi.
Hey, what's up, Andy?
Good to see you, Nacho.
Good to see you.
What's going on?
I'm, uh, gonna learn how to ride polo h-horses.
Are you scared?
I gotta to be honest, I've never ridden.
So that's a good-looking horse.
Yeah.
What's your horse's name?
It's called Andy.
Andy, it's a good name, horse.
You got a good-looking shirt.
I actually didn't know what you were gonna wear today,
so I brought a few.
Yes.
I do actually have--
that's what you're wearing this weekend?
Yeah, this is what I'm wearing this weekend.
Are you OK?
That's not it, hang on.
No, uh-uh.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
I appreciate your patience.
Yup.
Nope.
It's here.
That's--
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
Yup.
--gonna keep--
Uh-huh.
Sorry, Andy.
Nope.
Turquoise?
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
Nope.
I got it, I got it.
Yep.
OK, so--
Woo.
How do I look?
OK, but if we're gonna make you look more Argentinian,
we need to show a little bit of hair.
OK.
Are these real?
Uh, yeah, those are real.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
[NACHO LAUGHING]
Hi, Andy.
The first thing we should do is, I'll
show you how to hold a mallet.
OK.
It's made of bamboo--
Bamboo.
--53 is the number of inches.
53 inches, size doesn't matter.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
Yeah, it does.
53 inches are important.
OK.
Like that?
You hold it like this--
Like this?
--and you're gonna hit the ball with this part of the mallet.
OK?
OK, horse.
Andy, get out of the way.
Me or him?
No, both.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
Next is we get you on the horse.
There's one last thing I always like to do before I get going.
Uh-huh.
I like to get my pony on.

[AUDIENCE CHEERING, LAUGHING]
If you're horny, let's do it--
Yup, lot of people actually going for polo.
[KISSING, CLICKING TONGUE, SLAPPING]
Yah!
I got it.
This isn't that hard.
Nacho, how am I doing?
You're doing good.
--jump on it.
OK.
OK.
So, here we go.
Foxy is here, let's get you on a horse, Andy.
So this is--
Yeah.
--this is Foxy.
One, two.
And just kick over?
One, two, three.
[WHOOSH] All right, I'm on a horse.
[PATTING TWICE]
Looking good.
OK.
So we're just going?
So we're just going to go towards the ball--
OK--
--OK?
--going towards the ball.
Here we go.
Now.
Ooh, I gotta bend over.
A little late.
Bend over and heels down, remember.
Heels down, yes.
Heels down, yeah, there, boom.
[MALLET STRIKING BALL]
Hey!
My first shot!
Not bad!
That was your first shot and it was good.
Boom, very good.
Oh, boy.
Now, boom.
Well done!
Is it a par three?
I think we should try and gallop.
Gallop?
Yeah.
The most important thing is this.
Heels down.
That's what's gonna give you balance.
It's more-- it's weird, it's like you--
the thing that is in your--
The balance [INAUDIBLE]?
The balance is between the--
Really?
It's there.
Oh, wow, that was a secret you just told me.
I could tell you the word but--
Huevos?
Yeah, los huevos.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
Los huevos is where the balance is in polo.
OK.
[KISSING]
[INAUDIBLE]
Whoa, I'm doing it, I'm doing it!
Huevos, huevos!
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
[CLUCKING TONGUE, KISSING]
Whoa.
How come you're so stable and I'm flopping?
Because this is what I do for a living.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
Oh, well, that's true.
I wear short shorts.
Relax the upper body.
Heels down, heels down.
Heels down.
Whoa!
Oh, OK.
Oh, I wanna stand up.
[MALLET STRIKING BALL]
Go, go, go.
[WIND BLOWING]
This way, this way.
Ah!
Ah!
Slow down!
Slow down!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa--
[AUDIENCE SCREAMING, LAUGHING]
Ah!
[THUMP]
[AUDIENCE GASPING]
I'm OK, I'm OK.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
I'm fine.
Tough guy, right, Nacho?
I mean, tough.
You're ready.
Also, you know what, though?
You don't ride until you fall, that's the truth.
I fall every other day.
It's OK.
So I'm like Nacho.
I'm cool.
You're closer.
Closer.
[NACHO LAUGHING]
Closer to being Nacho.
[WHOOSH]
OK, Nacho, you got me?
From here.
OK.
Oh, boy.
OK.
Ready?
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
[NACHO LAUGHING]
Now I know what it's really like.
I feel like I'm in a cologne ad!
Oh, you want me to move back?
Yeah.
OK.
I love you.
Oh, Nacho.
Yeah.
So this is what it's like.
Let's go.
International man of mystery.
Yeah.
So you know a lot of famous people, right?
Yeah.
Did you go to the Prince Harry wedding?
Yeah.
Could you introduce me to him?
