  Speaker 1: watch it and questions get to ask the question exactly.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: So you know, Nick, let's go into the update.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: That's the biggest question everyone has, you know, for everyone
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: knows Nick got an infection in his right hip.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: After the double hit surgery. It's been a little.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Ruffer than what we anticipated, and you know, plus a
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: lot going on at one time.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a pretty nice way to put it a
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: little rougher. It's definitely been challenging, but so so basically,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: the double hip surgery was successful. It worked, but unfortunately
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: the right one did get an infection and had bacteria
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: in it and wouldn't stop draining even at week six.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: So I had gone on a Friday before, which was
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I think June nineteenth, and saw the doctor and he's like, look, Monday,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: go check in the you are and we're going to
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: do emergency surgery on Tuesday, and then we'll hold you
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: there until we find out what the bacteria is and
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: develop an antibiotics plan.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: As you can see, I have my my port or
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: in me, so.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: They it took them probably till the following Monday to
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: figure out that was, get the pick line put in,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: and then send me on my way on Monday. So
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I've been home for a few days now, and it's
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: it's good to be home, but it's nothing like starting
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: back to almost ground zero after going through six weeks
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: of it already. But you know, it's everything's about attitude.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: You just keep your attitude. This is the new normal.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: This is where I'm gonna build a new normal from
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: and I'm just going to work from there, and that's
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: what I've been doing. I'd still the right the right
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: the right leg basically feels like I took a hit
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: from a football helmet right in the middle of the thigh,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: and I just it's very difficult to move and stand
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: and everything else. But I've gotten out to where I
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: can kind of do everything for myself and saw it's
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: great effort and I'm getting still getting tired a little
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: bit fairly easy, but that'll all change because like before
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: we went into this, even with the infection, now it's
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: starting to get energetic and I'm starting to move around
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: and do stuff all over the place. So I just
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: know I have to be patient and keep going through
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: this methodically and everything's going to be okay.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: They did repair, they.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Opened it up, they cleaned it out, They left little
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: beads of antibiotics in there.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: They changed the ball in the.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Plastic because both of those can be places for bacteria
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: to hide, so they just decided to pull them both out.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: So technically I got another new hip in my right hip,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: so that's kind of cool. I guess I know what
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: it's going to be like, Uh, if I ever wear
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: these out, which I probably more than likely will, so
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I can kind of know what that's going to be
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: like at the same time, so I'll just treat it
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: as an overall learning experience. But they took those out,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: the replaced them, they cleaned it all out, they flushed
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: it all out, they sewed it all back up, but
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: this time he sewed it up instead of using staples.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: And the thing's doing great so far, it really has.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: It's been awesome. There's no drainage, there's no leakage, there's
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: no nothing. It's not red. It looks the way it's
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: supposed to look. And then SISU, which is a company
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: here that does home antibiotics and they come and teach
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: you how to use your pick lines and stuff like that.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: They came in and taught me how to do that.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: So I have to do that once a day.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: Till August fourth, and then I should be done with that,
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: and then I'll take oral antibotics again for another six months,
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: just to guarantee it's gone because with this there's no
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: there's no.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Wig of room. With this.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: It's either they have to pull everything apart put something
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: in its place, and then I have to sit there
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: for probably four to six months to clear it all out,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: lose the leg, or not be around. So all those
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: are bad options. So we're gonna do it this way
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: to make sure there's not gonna be a problem. And
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: like I said, it's feeling way better. I feel better, yeah,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: So it's it's coming along. The rehabs going as good
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: as it can be expected. I'm actually moving even better
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: than I was before the last time I got out
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: with the legs, So that's going with both the legs,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: so that's going good. I just have to keep going
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: through my physical therapy and my exercises and stuff like
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: that and I'll be fine. Then get back to squatnet.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Time a little at a time, you know what I'm saying.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: And that's how we've been approaching this. Every time something happens, it's, hey,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: let's get over this hump, take the next step, because
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you know, as long as you're moving, yeah, we'll get better.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: And I mean I've dropped to two hundred and seventy pounds,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: which that's fine, not real worried about it, having been
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: able to touch a weight and eight weeks now, but
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: it's fine. I'm going to be able to go back
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: to it. I'm gonna be able to do it. I'm
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: not going to lose all my side. I'll lose some
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: of it, but that's okay. Yeah, it's just knowing it's
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: going to happen and not letting it mess up your brain.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: So it's like, all right, well, this is a purpose.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: This is actually gonna get the rest of my body
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: a nice rest. My right shoulder was just bugging the
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: heck out of me before this. It is no longer
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: bothering me at all, So it's good. Some of my
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: other parts of my body are catching up, and then
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: I'll get back to training. I'll develop a program and
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: just go through the program each stays. There's going to
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: be stuff where I get back to training, and there's
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: just to be just get back into lifting shape, and
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I expect that to take twelve weeks and then from
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: lifting shape and it's like start working and getting strong,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: and I'll go through probably too at least two weeks
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: to twelve week training cycles to start building my strength
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: back up going through this. So it's just knowing this
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: and going you know, and setting the schedules and going
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: through it, and about probably eight months from now, I'll
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: probably be right in the neighborhood of where I was
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: when I went in for the hip replacements, and that's
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: that's the end goal.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: So that's good. Yeah, well, you know, I think that's
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: a pretty good update.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Let everybody know, you know what I'm saying, because you know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: we get tons of messages, everyone's wishing you well, and it's.

• 8:44
  Speaker 1: we'll also put up a little post for it too,

  Speaker 4: So yeah, but the lineup is like anoxes.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, you got a list of
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: killers in here.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Well, you might as well have most of the world
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: strungist man exactly say that. And you've got Mitchell Hooper
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: who's now a two times World's Strongest Man, Raino now
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: who's a one time world Strongest Man who just got second.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: By points there. That was a great You got.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Martinez Lesix, who is the world's strongest man in twenty nineteen.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: You have Angle set oh Man, Evan Singleton I'm doing
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: good today, who has won this particular show.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: Before.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: I think he was champion last year, so he's returning
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: trying to keep it. Fajutu is coming back. He's your
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: strongest man and he's going to be a lot to
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: deal with. That guy is good all the way around.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: He's pretty solid.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Pablo Kariaka, Yeah, Pablo Kodiaka, who's good at everything. I
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: think the only event he'll suffer points in is the deadlift.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: So I mean, I mean, other than that, there's not
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: a whole lot that will throw him back. And you
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: got Matthew Ragg who's going to be solid at pretty
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: much everything. Yeah, Adam Bishop who's two tons britten strongest Man,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: is a heck of a competitor. Andrew Flynn who's UK
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Strongest Man in twenty twenty five and is a hell
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: of a competitor. And then Nick Gordione, who's going to
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: be who's was a real Strongest Man finalist this year. Yeah,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: and then Josh uh Pataka, Yeah this this is.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: I didn't see him in here.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Patty Hayes.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: He sorry, Patty Hayes the strongest Man.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, it's it's like going to be Murder's Row basically.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as far as everyone's there's no walk in the park.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: There's not a walk in the park.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: No, And whoever's the most consistent on these again is
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: probably going to be.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Right up there.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: So I mean, deadlift wise, deadlift wise, you got a
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: few guys that aren't the grace at the deadlift, but
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: they'll like Pablo and Nick Gordione, they'll give up some
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: points in that but the rest of it, it's going
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: to be kind of crazy. The actual deadlift for reps
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: is going to be very interesting because my guess is
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: they'll probably be the one that's eight hundred to get
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: some reps out of it. So depending on when people go,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: will be give you this strategy.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: I know, if.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Mitchell Hooper has to go last, if Mitchell's in shape
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: and he took this seriously, but he did just move
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: to Las Vegas over the last couple of weeks and
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: has been going pretty crazy, so I would expect him
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: to be Mitchell Hooper, but maybe maybe not quite ready
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: for this show just yet because moving and you know,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: stress and traveling, we'll take it out of you a
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: little bit. But you never keep that guy can train anywhere.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: So I would definitely say him on the deadlist is
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: going to be rough. Evan Singleton on the dead list
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: is gonna be rough. Martinz on the deadlift for reps
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: is going to be brutal. So that's gonna be whoever
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: does what, You're gonna hit guys. You're gonna have guys
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: that should win, get fourth or fifth in this event,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: or you're gonna have probably min likely a couple of ties.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know how they're gonna do that with the points.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: But that guy that goes last, that's in that top
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Enchilana guys. So if Mitchell Hooper goes last and you
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: got three guys that have done nine reps, you'd be
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: damn sure he'll get ten. Yes, So it'll be kind
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: of interesting to watch. Uh, Conan's wheel, that's going to
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: be all who's willing to suffer and who can not
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: black out under extreme loads. You always got to know
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Mitchell's going to do. They get that. Martinez has traditionally
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: done very well at that event. Pablo Cordiaka is like
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: unbelievable at it. Yeah, Bishop's not too bad at it either,
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: so Flynn Gordion. So I mean it's going to be
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: hard to just kind of go where these guys at
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: right now. This is actually gonna be a really fun
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: one to watch because you're going to actually have to
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: watch the first at least two or three you start going, Okay,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: he's in shape and he's not.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's going to be fun to watch.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: But you know the place in the in there, the
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: cone that Conan wheel is going to be pretty heavy.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I would expect you know, if guys get
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: between three and four revolutions on that, that's probably gonna
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: be a lot for that.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: If they've waited it right.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Then they have the circus press medley, which would be
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: similar to the one at the World So they got
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: dumbbells and I think bar bells, so but it's gonna
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: be heavier. So that's gonna be that's gonna be fun
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: to watch. But I see, you know, the good overhead
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: pressers and the guys that are good with dumbbells. I
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: think Evan. Evan's going to do great at this event.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Cordioka is going to do good at this event. You
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: know again, Mitchell Hooper, That's what I mean. All these
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: events are very strong for almost all these guys, yep.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: So it's going to be not making little mistakes.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: It's going to have a coach that not only knows
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: how to tell you how to lift weights and how
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: to train and get ready, but knows how to compete.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: And the little secrets that there are that you you
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: look at it, you tell somebody all they ain't gonna
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: help me anywhere, and it makes one reps difference.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: And most of these coaches don't know that, so it's good.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: But because they don't know how to compete, they've never
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: been on the battlefield themselves, and they can't read it
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: in a book because most of the guys that are
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: that good aren't going to tell you. So you can
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: put it in a book and use it for your people.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's that. Or sit there and listen to
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: you while you're telling somebody what to do, so you
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: can go tell their guy. There's there's one coach with
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: bushy hair that's very famous for that. Yeah, so there's that. Uh,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: the Webster Stones, Well, I'm just gonna have to say
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Mitchell Hooper probably do pretty good at that one. Yeah,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: he's pretty good at those stone walks. And then that's
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: going to be whoever can move the smoothest with the
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: least wabble and get get a good walk go with that.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: And a lot of these guys. None of these guys
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: really have bad grips either. So I mean, this is
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: this is gonna be brutal. Martinez has got to go good.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Reno Niles going to be good at this. Ren O
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Niles gonna be good at all these events so far,
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: and look at he won the first three events in
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: the finals at Worlds, he just had two events he
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: didn't do as good and not to do his good
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: was it like a fourth and a fifth. So and
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: that's all it takes at this level, it really does.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: So it's gonna be fun to watch and it's gonna
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: come down to castle stones after that, and who can
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: move through those castle stones fast and who cannot make
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: mistakes and who can get the tacky that is the
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: best fitting for that event. And I mean, hopefully the
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: guys are smart this time and they tacking their belly,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: they put their shirt on, they tacky this shirt and
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: then they either tie off their shirt in the back
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: and use tape to hold that thing down tight so
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: it doesn't move, or use a belt or whatever. I
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: liked using a belt because you and also flip up
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: the stone with that. It's just it's just aid to
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: make it easier, and at that level, making things a
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: little bit easier, it is making things faster, and that's
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: that's what's gonna need. But I figure this all the
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: way through because all these guys are all these guys
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: are good at stones. Martinez is great at stones, Evan's
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: good at stone. They're all good at stones. Yeah, you,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Greg Adam, Andrew Flynn, even Nick Gordion, they're all good
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: at stones. So it's going to be where you place
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: your feet. Who can get moving the fastest, who can
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: get to it, who can grab and go and not
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: make mistakes. The guys that go out and have tacking
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: on their hands on the last two or even three
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: stones to put their hands right where they're going to
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: go on those two stones, so they just don't even
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: have to retack the and they go to grab the
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: last one, they just grab and pull. Yeah, those things
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: are going to make a pretty big difference.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: So it goes.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: That's how it goes.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: So it's gonna be.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: A fun one to watch. But I would definitely put
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: it Hooper. Oh my gosh, this is gonna be rough.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: So unless somebody gets hurt or anything goes wrong, I'm
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: gonna say Hooper, Reino, Martinz, and Evan are gonna be
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: your top probably more than likely your top four.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I can agree with that statement. I can definitely agree
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: with that statement because, like I said, and that's in
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: no particular order, because like I said, each one of
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: these guys are insane. Their strength, their agility, their movement
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: and and and here's the thing too, is like this
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: is what an athlete looks like in the strength world.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, these are the top guys that we have
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: right here.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: I think Andre can get in there as well. I mean, yeah,
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: you can come up from you in there, Patty, Patty's
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Patty's a great athlete. Yeah, so he's a little bit lighter,
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: but he's a great athlete. So I don't I Doam
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: can get right up there too. But it's it's gonna
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: be t all the way through. It's gonna be fun
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: to watch.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I said, tomorrow show is going to be
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: a great show. And like I said, we'll put the
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: links in the notes, so you got if you guys
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: choose to want to watch, check out the live stream
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: from where you're at. You know what I'm saying, you
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: guys can And like I said, you know, this is
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: our prediction. And then even too, with next Wednesday, we're
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: gonna cover what happened, how it happened, the scores, all
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: that stuff, so then we can give you guys an
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: update on that too.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: So well, then after after Worlds, I think, uh, after Worlds,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: I think Evan's got the probably the biggest chip on
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: his shoulder and the biggest point. I agree, he was
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: not happy with his performance at Worlds. The problem is
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: with Evan usually when he's coming full blast, he makes mistakes.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: So can he just stay calm and go through each
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: event one by one and attack each event one by
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: one and still keep his head, head on his shoulders
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: and if something is bad, develop a very bad or
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: develop a very quick short memory. Yes, because he's he
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: needs to develop that ability because there's so many contests
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: that he's still in and things can still go good
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: and he has that bad event and he starts falling
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: apart a little bit. He needs to work on the
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: mental strength of that and get over it. He really does,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: because he's so he's so talented and can do so much.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: But until he fixes that, he's he's he's going to
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: reach up there like the strongest man on earth.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: He he came there and he laid it down. He
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: did it all right, the little things that went bad,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: he just let it go. He's got to do that here.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: And could he could he beat everybody there?
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: I think he's stronger than just about everybody there. And
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: then Martinez Martinez is the vetr Martinz knows every event,
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: he knows what's going on. He's been around this since
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: he was a young teenager and getting to hang out
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: with and stuff like that. So I think Martins can
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: sneak in there.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah he could. He could end up winning the whole
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: thing too well.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: He Martin's is the more veteran of this four that
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: we're talking about, And you know what I'm saying, he
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: knows how to pace himself. He knows he knows how
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: to play the points game. He knows how to line
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: himself in there. So you know that gives him the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: largest advantage, you know what I'm saying. You know, Hooper
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: is just on a cerebral level where he understands the game.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: He knows how to put in the points, he knows
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: how to ride it right in there. So you got
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: two people in there that you know, have a different
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: outlook of the game in this lineup, you know what
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. And Rhino is just it's just a freak,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So that that's his edge
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: right there. He the most coolest, cammest person that you
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: can talk to. He walks in like nothing's really going on.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Every day. This is an everyday thing, you know what
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. So that's a huge advantage right there in itself.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think Evan's gonna be ready for this.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: I think Raino wins it. I think Evan gets second,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: and I think, to be honest with you, Hooper gets third,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: even though I'd never like to doubt that guy, because
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: I still think he'll win it, to be quite honest
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: with you, but I just know he's been busy the
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: last few months, and yeah, you know, this isn't the
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: most serious thing for him. He's he's ringing world strong.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: This man. He knows he's going back next year.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: So so but that's that was just my quick I
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: think Martinz ends up fourth.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: We'll see, you know, we'll see how it turns.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Out, and we'll see and come back next Wednesday and
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: we'll discuss what we think and what we saw.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: And you know, if we were right.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah true, very true. I could have got it all wrong.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Very true.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: It's possible, thoughtful, very.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: And you know, we're gonna do this one short because
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: nixt recovering. He still we wanted to make sure we
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: gave you guys an update, and they gave you a
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: little bit of strong man news.
