- 1:45that, Nick Man, There's been a lot of news dropped in the last
- 1:49four hours, and you know, one of the biggest ones is coming from
- 1:55Brian Shaw, the strongest man on Earth himself, just drop that he's going
- 1:59to doing and m m a. There was a lot of posts like is
- 2:01this real or is this really happening or what's going on? It's like a
- 2:06lot of speculation of it right now, it's really it's real. I mean
- 2:09I text him and he's like, yeah, man, it's real and looking
- 2:14forward to it and all kinds of stuff. So yeah, it's uh,
- 2:19it's about as reel as it gets, you know. And he's been offered
- 2:22money in a contract and he is now preparing to fight MMA. It just
- 2:30even in the sheer size and weight class, because you know, you have
- 2:32heavyweight, Brian is a super heavyweight. I don't even know if he can
- 2:37even know. There's heavyweight, there's super heavyweight, then they're super super heavyweight,
- 2:42then there's Brian. Yeah exactly. You know what I'm saying. There
- 2:46there's levels to this and unfortunately Brian stands at the pinnacle of that level because
- 2:51uh, talk about density and weight and size. Good God, I don't
- 2:55even know if he can, Like I know, Brian could do a lot
- 2:59of things in could he even get down to under three hundred I don't see
- 3:05why he should. Yeah, you know, I mean my understanding, there's
- 3:08there's no weight limit for him on this, so he's not going to have
- 3:15to drop to meet some weight goal, which is fantastic for him. I
- 3:21could see him easily fighting at like three seventy five to three hundred and fifty
- 3:24pounds and would be super strong and very devastating. And I mean, the
- 3:31guy lives at elevation, and he trains at elevation, and he's he trains
- 3:38in a matter where he's in shape. He's in great shape all the time.
- 3:43So not really. Yeah, So I'm not overly worried about him doing
- 3:47cardio. And one thing about strong men that it teaches you is like on
- 3:53a truck poll or some of the other events, you can't you're not just
- 3:58going all out. You're going all out for sixty seconds. So if you're
- 4:02in the middle of a fight, most of the guys he's gonna end up
- 4:05fighting are not used to going all out for sixty seconds. So he can
- 4:12go like, let it loose and get after somebody. You know, thirty
- 4:15forty seconds in, they're going to collapse, and that's a lot of time
- 4:19their body will give out. He'll still keep going another twenty thirty seconds and
- 4:23that'll be enough to end the fight in my opinion. But I mean,
- 4:28I'm I'm not a professional linemaker, so well right now, I do think
- 4:36Brian, because of that, will have a distinct advantage. And then he's
- 4:42also extremely limber, and people don't get that or understand that. I mean,
- 4:47I can see him possibly. I mean, I don't know how this
- 4:50he would be able to get somebody's head between his legs, but I could
- 4:55see him doing a triangle choke. He's flexible enough to do something like that
- 5:00that, which means some of these arm barres that guys would have a hard
- 5:02time getting people into. He he's not going to have that issue. So
- 5:08I don't think he's going to need to really do a ton of stand up.
- 5:15I think he gets the basics down enough to where he can keep somebody
- 5:19at bay and they realize they're not going to get anywhere because he's so tall
- 5:24and so long that it'll go to the ground, and if he goes to
- 5:29the ground, he's he's going to be ruthless on the ground. Once he
- 5:32gets the basic techniques down for like wrestling and then maybe just a blue belt
- 5:39level at jiu jitsu. If he gets that down, people could just have
- 5:45it's gonna be a nightmare because he's so strong, I mean just in his
- 5:50cardio, in his mobility. I just see it causing a lot of problems,
- 5:56especially if he as the weight's coming down, He's gonna get nothing but
- 6:00faster. I mean, yikes. Well with with that even he said,
- 6:04it's like a you know, Brian is a person and a half wide,
- 6:10you know what I'm saying, And he's perfectly proportioned in his body size,
- 6:14shape, and composition. But the thing is is like, could any could
- 6:19Like like I said, we've seen him fight Dustin Poorie and not really fight
- 6:23us, but wrest Martin. You know, he's done the videos and the
- 6:27clips. But the thing is is like he's never really like put himself in
- 6:30his effort. But now that he's doing it, do you do you think
- 6:33people could even sub besides a rear naked choke, you know what I'm saying,
- 6:40Is there any other way to armbarhm and a conda him fucking leg lock,
- 6:46you know, and you know, like like I'm just trying to think
- 6:48of like because his muscle density, muscle dexterity, the tend, everything that
- 6:55he's trained, It's like, could they even go past those I don't know,
- 6:59well, naked choke if he learns that basic defense for that, I
- 7:03don't see anybody. I mean, because if he tucks his chin and then
- 7:08kind of learns what to do with that and lean back on people, they're
- 7:12not going to get it. Well, I'm just thinking of possibles, like
- 7:16what the only angle someone will be able to even to attack him at?
- 7:20And you know, of course he's going to learn how to defend that.
- 7:23But I'm just like in my head, I'm like, like how like even
- 7:27a camorra, could you wrangle an arm that big into a camorra? I
- 7:31mean, is it possible? Yeah? But he would have to practically give
- 7:36it to you. If he's working any kind of defensive moves at all,
- 7:42you're not going to get those things. Yeah. I mean, I don't
- 7:45see anybody strong enough to hold on to him that that would get in there
- 7:48and do this with him, To be quite honest with you. So I
- 7:53don't know, you know, like I said, it's so because like I
- 7:57said, you know, I've met Brian, I've shaken, I've shook Iron's
- 8:00hand stood next to Brian. He's a massive man exactly. And that that's
- 8:05what I'm saying, is that like he's got he's got telephone poles for legs,
- 8:09telephone, he has horse legs, horse legs he has he has regular
- 8:16human legs for arms. You know. It's just funny because like I'm trying
- 8:22to like I'm trying to imagine this. You know, this happening is almost
- 8:26cartoonish to me because I'm just like, how is that possible? Who's he
- 8:30gonna fight? And you know, with the internet buzz that we have,
- 8:33they've already made a post for it, and uh Marius Pussinowski, you know,
- 8:39and he you know, and the title is four time World Strongest Man
- 8:43versus five time World Strongest Man. And you know, he had he has
- 8:48a career in m m A. He's fought multiple times, he fought,
- 8:50he's fought in the Pride days and it's like, with him being a pro
- 8:58fighter, would he want to be hit by a by a Matt truck slash
- 9:03freight train coming at you. Probably not. I mean, I'm sure Maris
- 9:11would have his price and would probably go do it. I just I don't
- 9:16know. I saw this. I mean, and he fought Sylvia fairly early
- 9:22in his career and stuff like that. But Sylvia is a big, tall,
- 9:26longer guy was able to let him gas out and then just took care
- 9:31of him. So you know, Brian's not going to be like that level
- 9:37experience. But Brian's also a freak. Brian's also one of the most studious
- 9:46people you ever meet. When he goes to learn something, he learns it
- 9:50front to back, top to bottom, side to side. There's not going
- 9:52to be a whole lot about it that he doesn't know going into it,
- 9:56and will be a perfectionist. He will study it sleep so and it'll be
- 10:03like his focus, his center. I mean, I don't know how many
- 10:07people are willing to have their mind go through that type of stuff all day
- 10:11long, and Brian will. Brian's boys are a little bit older now,
- 10:18so you know those where you're worried watching him, watching the kids as parents,
- 10:26that they're going to get into trouble and get hurt. Now they know
- 10:28stuff. They're not just going to get in trouble, so you still pay
- 10:33attention to him, but you don't the the levels changed. It's different,
- 10:39so he's gonna be able to focus more on other things. So it's uh.
- 10:45And plus Carries, you know, yeah, Carry, he's got it
- 10:48unbelievable, She's got his back. You know what I'm saying. I'm pretty
- 10:52sure the conversation that was had between you know, one thing if you always
- 10:56say is Brian has things spot out way more and most people, So like
- 11:01if he's just announcing this now and you say, exactly, exactly, and
- 11:07so this is just an experience that I'm waiting to see. I'm already in
- 11:11anticipation of buying the pay per view, you know, like, uh,
- 11:16and it's crazy too because like here's the pivot point. I hope we get
- 11:20to go. Go. Man, we've turned across my fingers. But here's
- 11:24the pivot point. Thorn added boxing and now Brian's doing m m A.
- 11:31He's not doing boxing, And you know it's like did he take the example
- 11:37and the and you know, I'm pretty sure he's talking to Dy many times
- 11:39about this whole boxing thing and picked his brain about it. But like,
- 11:43is this a smarter choice or is it the more profitable choice or is it
- 11:48the better choice? Because it's like this is something generally interested in because like
- 11:50for the majority of like Thor and them, it almost felt like he just
- 11:54did the boxing because it was a payday. Mmm. I think this is
- 11:58something he's going to take very seriously. I think it's an opportunity that came
- 12:03to him and I think he thought about it very long and hard and came
- 12:09to the conclusion that he could be successful at this. And you know,
- 12:16my guess is he probably trained for it for a little while and kind of
- 12:18really decided if it was for him or not before he did it. He
- 12:26likes it. It wasn't even that long ago that Brian was at the UC
- 12:30training facilities and broke the punching bag just by slapping it. All right,
- 12:37it tests how strong you are because that's what the machine does. And you
- 12:41know, he exactly and with just a slap he shattered the record in I'm
- 12:46just I'm not saying, you know what I'm saying, these are things that
- 12:50we have to take an account because it's like, who's going to be the
- 12:52one that, like, in my head, the only person that I feel
- 12:58that would probably even take this, and this is just me throwing stuff out.
- 13:01Bob Sap is a huge pride fighting guy, and I would say him
- 13:07and Brian are about the same same height, and so you know what I'm
- 13:13saying, and that might be like the closest you know what I'm saying,
- 13:16like to it. I can't see Bob Sapping, Well, Bob sapp at
- 13:22his age right now too, you know. It's but you know Bob said
- 13:24not that long ago, trying to fight Mike Tyson, right, true,
- 13:28but how did that turn out? Well, it didn't happen. So you
- 13:31know what I'm saying, Mike Tyson ain't fighting nobody for no money, well
- 13:35except Roy Jones, because that's someone he wanted to right So, I uh,
- 13:43I don't know if that'd be I don't know. It's going to be
- 13:48interesting to see who they got for him. Well, you know, as
- 13:50it's unfolds, you know, this is something that we're definitely gonna be on
- 13:54top of. And yeah, we're definitely be covering a lot because, like
- 13:58I said, this is just an interesting twist of events because who saw this
- 14:01coming, you know, except for Brian and everyone, you know, like
- 14:05the family. But at the same time, it's like, it'll be interesting
- 14:09to see how long they're going to wait to do the fight. I feel
- 14:18the longer they wait to do the fight, the better Brian's going to do.
- 14:22And if it ends up going off really fast, then I think that'll
- 14:26be an advantage for the person that he's fighting. Yeah. I think the
- 14:31longer they wait, if it ends up ten months, a year, a
- 14:35year, you know, a year and two months, I will I will
- 14:41say the longer it goes till they fight, the more the better Brian's going
- 14:45to do. Because he's a learning machine. Yeah, he's a learning machine.
- 14:50He's an execution machine. And the longer he gets to work on something,
- 14:54the better he's going to get at it. Period. He's going to
- 14:56hone that sword and be prepared for the day. That's just one of those
- 15:01things, you know what I'm saying. And it like this, like I
- 15:03said, it's big news being dropped on this day, and it's just like,
- 15:05oh my god, I'm definitely ready for it. And I'm murredy like
- 15:09I said, I'll purchase the pay per view if we don't get the opportunity
- 15:13to go because I'm definitely gonna want to see Oh yeah, for sure exactly.
- 15:18And then I can't wait. I'll probably lose my voice screaming for him.
- 15:22It would be fun. I lost my voice at the Shah, So
- 15:28you know, I'm happy for him. This is gonna be a great opportunity.
- 15:31And I think he's that and that good of an athlete where he could
- 15:37get this done just all the way around. As I said, he lives
- 15:39at in elevation, he trains at elevation. He knows how to go all
- 15:43out for a long period of time. And that's something like when I've had
- 15:52you know, fighters come out here and train with me. We'll do things
- 15:56like carrying drags and stuff were you go one hundred percent effort or truck pulls
- 16:03one hundred percent effort for a minute minute half and they're just like, oh
- 16:08my god, that's so much different, and I go, yeah, it's
- 16:11it's it's a lot different going one hundred percent effort for that time. You
- 16:17can sit there and jump up and down and do downups all day long.
- 16:21Now do something that requires all your strength at the same time, like dragging
- 16:26a four hundred pound tire down the street. You know, after carrying a
- 16:30three hundred pound sandbag that that is a whole different boggainin and he has the
- 16:37ability to do that in a way that I don't think anybody he fights is
- 16:41going to be able to do. Yeah, and then you know talk recover
- 16:45from, Yeah, and recover from cause he recovers from like stuff really fast.
- 16:49So that's the other thing he's gonna be able to say. They get
- 16:52rolling around. This dude goes one hundred percent for twenty seconds, he goes
- 16:56one hundred percent for thirty seconds, kind of like gets an advantage and then
- 17:02takes a little bit of a break. He's still going to recover faster because
- 17:03he's used to going for a minute. So it's yeah, it's it's gonna
- 17:08be interesting. He gets the technique stuff down, it's all over. I
- 17:11mean, it's just gonna be brutal. That's it. And then you know,
- 17:15speaking of these strong man events, the other announcement will be the two
- 17:18things. Oh yeah, but you know with these other strong man events that
- 17:22are happening, or that we're just discussing and talking about going out all out
- 17:26on half or has announced that he's got three shows he's dedicated himself to that.
- 17:33He is doing first one is going to be the twenty twenty four Arnold
- 17:37Classic, the Arnold UK and then the Rogue Invitational. And you know,
- 17:44this is something I want your opinion on because it's like, you know,
- 17:47you know injuries, you know what's gone on because you know Thor's had the
- 17:51peck tear. You know, he's done the boxing, he's done the powerlifting
- 17:55and retired from the man but now he's coming back into strong Man and it's
- 17:59like, uh, you know, you know, like has there been enough
- 18:03time for recovery from the peck tear to actually competing into the heaviest you know
- 18:10what I'm saying, one of the heaviest shows that you can compete in in
- 18:14doing this, you know what I'm saying, Cause like he made a video.
- 18:15He talked in the video about like, you know, he's doing this
- 18:18because he wants to compete against the best. But the thing is about competing
- 18:21with the best is you have to go all out. And he did mention
- 18:23in the video that he wasn't going to go as all out as he should.
- 18:26He's gonna use this as almost like it almost felt like he was going
- 18:30to use it as a test show. But I don't want to say that
- 18:33he didn't say that, you know what I mean, or like intense training
- 18:36to see where he's at against the guys. Yeah, and to kind of
- 18:38feel where he needs to improve and stuff. Yeah, I could see him
- 18:44doing that. Yeah, it's personally after the peck injury and all that other
- 18:51stuff. I would I mean, if like perfect world, I'd kind of
- 19:00like to see him do the other Arnold that's later in the year and then
- 19:06come back to the and have him go probably eighty to eighty five. Well,
- 19:11the other Arnold is two weeks I think two or three weeks after the
- 19:14Arnold class. Yeah, it's three weeks. It's three weeks. It just
- 19:18gives him a little bit more time and maybe see him at like eighty eighty
- 19:22five percent and kind of like catch where he's at with that, and then
- 19:29have him come into the Rogue and kind of drop the hammer at the rogue
- 19:34and really kind of test it into the high nineties and then come back to
- 19:41the following Arnold and then just absolutely let it fly. Yeah that I think
- 19:48the extra time will serve him better over the lawn because he's still so young.
- 19:55I mean, I heck, I didn't even get the world's strongest mantil
- 19:56I was forty one. I didn't start strong mantil thirty six, So I
- 20:02mean, he's got plenty, plenty of time. I don't think I really
- 20:07heat. I think forty eight was probably my strongest year so far. Even
- 20:12though I've been able to kind of hold that level and can probably you know,
- 20:18still get up to that area, He's still got just so much time.
- 20:26It's unreal. And I would rather see him come personally. But I
- 20:33mean take it with a grain of salt. He's gonna do what he wants.
- 20:36Yeah, he's a grown he's a grown adult. He can do He
- 20:38can do what he wants. I mean, I think he's a good dude.
- 20:41Yeah. I would like to see him, and then then he'll just
- 20:48prosper from that point on because he'll be back, he'll be full go.
- 20:52But I mean, can he do it? Yeah? Absolutely, There's not
- 20:56a whole lot I'll put past him on when he makes up his mind he
- 21:00wants to do something he's going to do. But the thing is is just
- 21:03cause can doesn't mean he should. Yeah, And you know, I would
- 21:08rather see the long term success of watching him compete for a whole another decade
- 21:15than rather come back and do this and you know, have to bow out
- 21:21in three to five years for some unforeseen reason. I would. I really
- 21:26enjoy watching him compete as a fan. I like to watch him. Yeah,
- 21:30yeah, He's always exciting when he's on, when he's when he's up
- 21:32on deck, you know. And it's just it's the same thing though you
- 21:34watch Eddie compete. I love watching Eddie compete. He's a freaking lunatic,
- 21:38that's it. And he's super strong, and he just and Brian, Brian
- 21:45is just in z and like all these guys, I love watching everybody go
- 21:48because I'm a fan of the sport as much as I am as a competitor.
- 21:53And I love watching all the guys go. I really do. And
- 21:57I just want to I want to see him be doing it, you know,
- 22:02ten fifteen years from now, if he wants to. Yeah, I
- 22:06think Thor is a big enough talent that if he manages to stay healthy,
- 22:11he can do it as long as he wants till he gets bored. Yeah,
- 22:14now, one hundred percent, you know. And in that same video
- 22:17that he talked about, he mentioned Mitchell Hooper, and he considers Mitchell Hooper
- 22:22one of the strongest and one of because he right off top of he is
- 22:26one of the strong He's the strongest man in the world right now, and
- 22:30he's all he's looking forward to competing with him because he considers him one of
- 22:33the best right now, and he's looking towards what's called And you know,
- 22:37with Mitchell Hooper, it's like, do you want to put him coming back
- 22:42and trying to compete at his at thet you know, at the top of
- 22:45the level. With Mitchell Hooper, it's like, I'm waiting to see that
- 22:49because Mitchell Hooper not that long ago, did a comparison between him and thor
- 22:52and it's just a little apples to oranges, that's all the video was.
- 22:56But I'm definitely waiting to see the war step on stage and see what he's
- 23:00actually capable of doing. Like I said, we're all going to be worried
- 23:03about injuries because you know, we all know about the pector. But the
- 23:07thing is is we want to make sure he's coming in to be safe,
- 23:08He's coming in to do it strong and he competes at the level that he
- 23:12wants to compete at, because that's one of those things, you know,
- 23:15what I'm saying, we want to see that that success there. I think
- 23:18thor at H at the top of his game is going to be a lot
- 23:25for any competitor to deal with. So that'll be that'll be good to see.
- 23:30I think he can really challenge a lot of things out there. The
- 23:34issue is going to be is what the heck is Mitchell's weakness? Yeah,
- 23:41every time he has one, the next time you see him, it's gone,
- 23:45yeah, fixed. And we've seen that progression because we were we were
- 23:49there for the First World, the Second World, and then him going through
- 23:55every one of these competitions. It's like this man just walked out of the
- 23:59mist and started dominating once he started figuring out what to do. Well.
- 24:03Yeah, And the thing is is every time something new comes up, he
- 24:07figures it out. He's right up there the top three, top four talking
- 24:12to everybody too. You know. That's the thing. It's like he was
- 24:15like, as like I said, first World strongest man there, he called
- 24:18you like, hey, how do I do this? And you know he
- 24:21took your advice and he was able to use your advice, did his test
- 24:23those days and figured it out and then like even uh, like I want
- 24:29to say I want to say. He talked to you a little bit on
- 24:32last year at Myrtle Beach just about you know, talking about some of the
- 24:34carries, and it's just like you know, he's definitely every time he's come
- 24:38across something new, he just goes for it. But he's actually doing Because
- 24:42was it the World Shaw Classic Strongest Man on Earth? That was the first
- 24:47time he's really done fingers or even trained fingers. I don't want to say
- 24:49that for a thing. No, World's strongest Man. Oh yeah, that's
- 24:52right. So and he's got like a telephone pole type of thing. Yeah,
- 24:57he made some contraption but it ended up breaking because he was just going
- 25:00too hard on it made it. Yeah, and he's he's using it again.
- 25:06No, Yeah, the shot classic he came in, he get really
- 25:11good and he it's uh, like I said, he there is no glaring
- 25:15weakness, there is no chink in the armor. So it's it's what what
- 25:22events are they gonna pick? How fast can you know? He figure him
- 25:26out? So for Thor to come back and go after that, it's gonna
- 25:33be it's gonna be fun to watch, it really is, because they're both
- 25:37gonna be good at shield carries, yep. But Tom's good at shield carry
- 25:41too. But Tom made a mistake that I'm pretty sure he'll he'll learn from
- 25:45that'll never happen again, you know. Oh, well this is probably good.
- 25:49He's struggling with it already. I'm just gonna drop it instead of going
- 25:52to where he just couldn't go anymore. And who made him pay the price
- 25:57for that? And that same same thing happened with for Nick when he won
- 26:03his record carrying that. Uh that was it the elephant or was it the
- 26:10the in Africa where you win what the first time or the second time?
- 26:18Because the first time in Africa, I had no idea. I just had
- 26:21to go as far as I could exactly. And then the second time I
- 26:26let it go, thinking because I'm watching z carry the thing, and I'm
- 26:30like, there's no way he's gonna make it, you know, out to
- 26:34where I am. It's just could be whether or not he can catch where
- 26:37payment was. And so I let it go and turn and that's when he
- 26:41had dropped it like three or four meters short of where payment was. And
- 26:48I like, yeah, celebrating exactly. Nobody celebrating exactly. But yeah,
- 26:57So it's it's going to be interesting because you know Thor's solid overhead, Thors
- 27:04solid at stones, so as Mitch can Thor and Tom do that, you
- 27:14know, be faster than Mitch at the stones. Yeah, they can be
- 27:17faster than him at the stones, but that's one event, so he gets
- 27:19third. So I mean it's it's gonna it'll make things interesting because there'll be
- 27:25an extra point to split up there where there might not have been one on
- 27:29a couple of the events. I don't think either one of the guys are
- 27:33going to beat him in a yoke, which means I don't think anybody's gonna
- 27:37beat Hooper in this in the Farmer's Walk either, because his grip seems to
- 27:42be fixed so which I don't think it was ever broken. I just think
- 27:48it's even stronger. Now, well, here's the question, the weight that
- 27:56Thor's lost. Does he need to put it back on? Well, it's
- 28:00it's I'm sure he's going to put it on. I'm sure thora will probably
- 28:03come in somewhere between four hundred and probably four twenty at his show, or
- 28:14maybe even three eighty, depending on how much weight he's got to put back
- 28:18on after the surgery and stuff. But eventually when he comes in between four
- 28:22hundred and four thirty, that's his that's his competitive weight. I mean the
- 28:30guy's six nine. Yeah, and they're both good deadlifters. That's that's what
- 28:33I mean. You're going through all these things and it's like, Okay,
- 28:38they might meet him at the stones, he's going to beat them. In
- 28:41the moving events. I think you'd have to lean towards Mitch for the grip
- 28:48events, you know, like farmers and stuff like that. Yeah, it's
- 28:56it's going to be interesting, it truly is. It's going to be fun
- 29:00to watch overhead pressing, dumbell pressing. I mean, they're all good at
- 29:04it, but like a lot of those, I still got to lean a
- 29:07little bit that way, which is I think pressed to heavier lock, they
- 29:14get done to the ax, so it will be the same way Tom pressed
- 29:18the heavier flintstone bar. But they're going to put that back in. Yeah,
- 29:23exactly, because it was a little bit of a headche at the First
- 29:26World when we went there. They were having a lot of difficulties getting set
- 29:29getting it back up right, you know, but you know, like they're
- 29:33not setting it up for speed. They set it up because like how like
- 29:37they want people to do it, but like sometimes a lot of people weren't
- 29:40even able to get them right. So and then that weird stone throw that
- 29:47will absolutely favor and Tom for that matter. But he through pretty far anyway,
- 29:57Yeah, figure exactly. So like I said, he's he's probably the
- 30:03guy that everybody's chasing for a reason right now. Canny be beaten in places,
- 30:08sure, And then you got Evan getting better all the time. And
- 30:14as Evan matures and starts concentrating more and focusing more and centering more, he's
- 30:23gonna be all either the three of those guys want to deal with. Because
- 30:27he is fast with a yoke, he does have a good grip, he
- 30:32does have he is graded overhead, he has all these things, he has
- 30:37all the same abilities. He he can do the stones. I mean,
- 30:41it's you got another guy with a lot of all the strange strengths and where
- 30:45the weaknesses exactly exactly, And that's gonna be this next year's coming up,
- 30:52how this is going to happen? You know, say, we're gonna see
- 30:55the shootout that's getting razy. The one of the reason I'm even seeing a
- 30:57lot of stuff is because I want you to be prepared for the shootouts that
- 31:00are getting ready to happen at these shows because you got heavy hitters coming back,
- 31:06you got coming in. You know, you got uh Trey who.
- 31:18If there's no grip events, good luck. Another great overhead presser, another
- 31:23guy that can move, another great deadlift, another great deadlifter. I mean,
- 31:27just all the way around. It's they're not playing, It's it's gonna
- 31:33be serious. There's gonna be some really really good contest coming up in the
- 31:38next six months to a year and a half, and it's it's gonna be
- 31:42fun to see who can come out on top of all these Exactly all these
- 31:47young kids are starting to mature, and that maturity is about to pay off
- 31:51for all the fans. Oh yeah, yep, We're we're going to move
- 31:55into another era, kind of like when Brian and z started to and over
- 32:00in completely dominating everything. It's I think we're going to move into an area
- 32:05that's very similar to that. Hell yeah, I definitely agree Nick and Nick.
- 32:09With that being said, with that new era, let these people know
- 32:14those favorite words that I like. All right, well, if you enjoyed
