Speaker 2: ask those questions which I just made. We have two
1:00
Speaker 2: questions in today and I'll head it off to Nick there.
1:04
Speaker 3: Oh okay, so, uh, dear Nick, after filming The Strongest
1:10
Speaker 3: Man in History? What lessons or experience uh from that
1:15
Speaker 3: show has stayed with you the most, both an athlete
1:19
Speaker 3: as in person. The biggest one is you only get
1:22
Speaker 3: so many and opportunities in life. So when you get
1:25
Speaker 3: that opportunity, go full, full, full go and full bore
1:28
Speaker 3: into it. I did that on the show because I
1:31
Speaker 3: had a feeling after probably our second day of filming
1:36
Speaker 3: and a couple of the executives came out there, I
1:40
Speaker 3: was just like, Oh, we better do this. I'm going
1:44
Speaker 3: all out on this because I don't I don't know
1:46
Speaker 3: they did. They they didn't seem to really like us
1:49
Speaker 3: that much when when we first met us, so I
1:53
Speaker 3: you know, so I made I took took every advantage
1:56
Speaker 3: I could as best I could, and just went all out.
1:59
Speaker 3: Plus I was I mean, I don't know how many
2:01
Speaker 3: times I'm going to get to do something like that.
2:04
Speaker 3: And I just left it all on the line. I
2:07
Speaker 3: just laid it all out there, and I hope it showed.
2:11
Speaker 3: Effort is everything. Your own personality is everything, and so
2:16
Speaker 3: you just let yourself shine through. That's all you can do.
2:19
Speaker 3: I mean, it really is. And I just I put
2:23
Speaker 3: everything I had into it. And it's kind of like
2:26
Speaker 3: that with everything. You see, good opportunities that come up,
2:28
Speaker 3: you take them, grab them with both hands and go
2:30
Speaker 3: give it everything you got. And if you succeed cool
2:34
Speaker 3: and if you don't, that's okay. You gave it everything
2:36
Speaker 3: that you had. And for us, we were in the
2:39
Speaker 3: top fifteen what five of the seven times, and then
2:45
Speaker 3: we had one that was in the top twenty, and
2:49
Speaker 3: then we had another one that was in the top
2:50
Speaker 3: twenty five. But the one that was in the top
2:52
Speaker 3: twenty five, if you bring eight placements back up, we
2:56
Speaker 3: were again right in the in the top, in the
3:01
Speaker 3: top twenty. So it should have did. We should have
3:06
Speaker 3: got signed for a whole lot more. They did have
3:08
Speaker 3: the budget and everything set out for a second season,
3:11
Speaker 3: and the people, the two people that had to sign
3:14
Speaker 3: off on it, didn't do it. And then we're like, oh,
3:17
Speaker 3: we'll come back and refocus on this in the spring,
3:19
Speaker 3: and then COVID hit and that was kind of the
3:23
Speaker 3: end of that because yeah, so anyway, but it's okay.
3:28
Speaker 3: I mean, I wouldn't change that experience for anything. I
3:31
Speaker 3: learned so much and learned a lot, you know. It
3:34
Speaker 3: got to spend great time with b and Eddie and Robert,
3:37
Speaker 3: and I mean, I love those guys. I missed those guys.
3:40
Speaker 3: It's just that's how it is. So it's it's an
3:44
Speaker 3: It was a life experience that we really got to
3:46
Speaker 3: share that was pretty freaking cool all the way around.
3:49
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, that's all I got to say about
3:53
Speaker 3: by it. So and then it says Nick, as you
3:57
Speaker 3: continue to rehab from double hip replacement, yep, everything your
4:03
Speaker 3: body has been through. What's the long term plan for
4:07
Speaker 3: getting strong again? Are there certain lifts or strength goals
4:11
Speaker 3: you want to work back towards or is the priority
4:16
Speaker 3: now building different kinds of strength than what you had
4:20
Speaker 3: during your competitive years. My goal is to get as
4:24
Speaker 3: strong as possible. Period. I'll take whatever my body gives
4:28
Speaker 3: me and then establish my new normal, which that for
4:33
Speaker 3: me is probably going to be another five to six
4:35
Speaker 3: months at least. The extreme work for me is going
4:40
Speaker 3: to be in mobility because of the way the muscles
4:46
Speaker 3: and the tenons are very tight and very well. There's
4:51
Speaker 3: a lot of trauma in there from the surgery, of course,
4:53
Speaker 3: but they're also very tight because I think the bones
4:59
Speaker 3: when they were kind of wore out, and the georts
5:00
Speaker 3: we kind of wore out. When we put the full
5:02
Speaker 3: size back in, it stretched things kind of tight. So
5:06
Speaker 3: taller again, yeah, I'm a little taller, so but that's good.
5:10
Speaker 3: It's just work, and I know it can get back there,
5:13
Speaker 3: especially like after this week. I went in to my
5:19
Speaker 3: ORTHO and he went through some stuff on me. I go, hey,
5:22
Speaker 3: my left hip is kind of like locking up and
5:25
Speaker 3: don't know. The PT wanted me to see if it
5:28
Speaker 3: was a mechanical issue or if it was a tight
5:31
Speaker 3: tenon and muscle issue. And he sat down and grabbed
5:35
Speaker 3: a hold of my knee and he like lifts up
5:37
Speaker 3: on my knee and tries to get it to while
5:39
Speaker 3: I'm sitting. He goes, pulls on it and pulls on
5:42
Speaker 3: it again. Not he goes, it's a tenon. You're fine,
5:46
Speaker 3: and he goes, you have no restrictions anymore. So they
5:49
Speaker 3: just tell your PT you're clear for everything. And boy
5:56
Speaker 3: was that there was that a different PT session after that,
5:59
Speaker 3: He's like, okay, Polly added in like five different ones
6:03
Speaker 3: or four different ones that we hadn't done yet, and
6:07
Speaker 3: like some of it. He he went from trying to
6:10
Speaker 3: be kind of like gentle and still put apply pressure
6:13
Speaker 3: and stuff like that to applying a lot more force,
6:15
Speaker 3: which really got things moved a little bit. I got
6:18
Speaker 3: to ninety on my right hip and probably eighty to
6:25
Speaker 3: eighty ish on my left hip, which is way better
6:27
Speaker 3: on my left hip.
6:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so I was very.
6:31
Speaker 3: I was very happy about that, and you know, starting
6:34
Speaker 3: to move you know out and in and working strength
6:37
Speaker 3: in those areas and stretching in those areas. So it's
6:40
Speaker 3: just going to be a while. I just have to
6:42
Speaker 3: stay to stay on the process and work methodically all
6:46
Speaker 3: the way through it. Probably doing some box squats, starting
6:51
Speaker 3: doing more of those and stuff like that to our
6:53
Speaker 3: squat down and you know, sit there and then come
6:56
Speaker 3: back up stuff like that, and just keep lowering the chair.
6:59
Speaker 3: But the doc said it would actually be a good
7:03
Speaker 3: idea because my ten and strength is so high and
7:07
Speaker 3: the muscle on my body is there's so much of
7:10
Speaker 3: it to do assisted stretching either with the pt or
7:15
Speaker 3: put weight on the bar and you know stretch it
7:18
Speaker 3: like that and then take weight and hang trying to
7:21
Speaker 3: touch my toes, that type of stuff. So I'll be
7:23
Speaker 3: doing a lot of that. So my first goal to
7:27
Speaker 3: answer the question. Finally, my first goal is to get
7:31
Speaker 3: mobility and work on mobility. I'm still got to work
7:34
Speaker 3: on you know, I'll still start doing strength exercises with
7:39
Speaker 3: my legs as we go through this, and that mobility improves,
7:44
Speaker 3: But the goal is mobility first. I want to get
7:47
Speaker 3: the mobility and then start working the strength. And then
7:50
Speaker 3: as I do that, I can see, you know, what
7:53
Speaker 3: kind of damage it did do and it did not
7:57
Speaker 3: do through the surgery, kind of like my LAP. I mean,
8:00
Speaker 3: my lat was a pretty Yeah, that was a pretty
8:04
Speaker 3: serious surgery and it was pretty traumatic, but came through
8:07
Speaker 3: and within a year I was back pulling seven forty
8:11
Speaker 3: four in a powerlifting meet. So it can be the
8:15
Speaker 3: same way, just a little bit different. Got to be
8:18
Speaker 3: a little bit more cautious. But and then plus I
8:21
Speaker 3: still have to take the antibiotics for another five and
8:24
Speaker 3: a half months orally, but that also comes with one
8:29
Speaker 3: hundred percent success rate. Yeah, which is which is important.
8:33
Speaker 3: That's that's the reason why I'm doing it exactly so,
8:37
Speaker 3: but slow methodical. Once I get my range of motion back,
8:40
Speaker 3: I'll start probably doing such. I'll probably go ten eight
8:47
Speaker 3: six for you know, it's a rep scheme, and keep
8:53
Speaker 3: on that rep scheme for all my heavy lifting, for
8:56
Speaker 3: squat's bench and deadlift. When I get to be able
8:59
Speaker 3: to get down to the grind on the pull dead
9:00
Speaker 3: list and stuff like that, I'll probably keep that rep
9:03
Speaker 3: scheme for probably probably at least eight weeks, you know,
9:10
Speaker 3: and get that going pretty good, and then as that progresses,
9:15
Speaker 3: you know, I'll probably go like an eight five three
9:19
Speaker 3: scheme for probably another eight weeks, and then just reassess
9:23
Speaker 3: from those two points, reassess from there where I'm where
9:26
Speaker 3: I'm going, and not be worried about if I if
9:31
Speaker 3: I don't feel like I'm ready at the time, then
9:33
Speaker 3: don't worry about it. Re establish a new normal, and
9:35
Speaker 3: re rework from there and take what my body gives
9:40
Speaker 3: me is going to be the key to It's basically
9:43
Speaker 3: going to be the key to this is if my
9:44
Speaker 3: body's like, hey, yeah we're good, then hey we're good.
9:49
Speaker 3: But it's gonna take a while to get all that going,
9:52
Speaker 3: so I just got to be patient. I'm probably looking
9:55
Speaker 3: total time probably somewhere between eight months in a year
10:00
Speaker 3: to get to where I can go in and just
10:02
Speaker 3: lift some you know, heavy stuff and not really think
10:06
Speaker 3: about it all that much. Maybe a year year and
10:08
Speaker 3: a half, kind of like I had. I had an
10:10
Speaker 3: ngroinal hernia at one time back in two thousand and one,
10:15
Speaker 3: and it was after that was fixed, it took about
10:18
Speaker 3: eighteen months for me not to even worry about it anymore.
10:21
Speaker 3: When I was at the gym, and that was a
10:24
Speaker 3: very long rehab, but it was possible, it was done,
10:27
Speaker 3: and I ended up pulling, you know, or nine hundred
10:31
Speaker 3: at one point. So it's okay. You just got to
10:34
Speaker 3: have to be patient and do it right.
10:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, my all.
10:37
Speaker 2: The question I'm going to have for this too, with
10:40
Speaker 2: you know, new hips, is will your deadlift dance and
10:44
Speaker 2: stay the same, you know, or well there'll be some
10:46
Speaker 2: adjustments in that.
10:48
Speaker 1: You know, I am to be honest deadlift, Yeah, you.
10:54
Speaker 3: Honestly, I think my feet will probably stay close together.
10:56
Speaker 3: I just don't know if I'll need to point my
10:58
Speaker 3: toes out anymore. Okay, So we'll see how that goes.
11:03
Speaker 3: Because I seem to be very good with my feet
11:05
Speaker 3: facing straight ahead and there's nothing going on. I turn
11:08
Speaker 3: them out a little bit and it feels a little
11:10
Speaker 3: feels a little weirder, and it doesn't feel like I
11:13
Speaker 3: got a lot of power in them. But boy, my
11:15
Speaker 3: feet are straight ahead and it feels pretty good and
11:17
Speaker 3: I got a lot of power in it. So there
11:19
Speaker 3: might be a few changes the technique, and you know what,
11:22
Speaker 3: that's okay. I'm gonna take what my body gives me.
11:25
Speaker 3: If I need to move my feet back out, you know,
11:27
Speaker 3: I'm gonna move my feet out if I can use
11:29
Speaker 3: my old technique, I'll use my old technique. It's wherever
11:32
Speaker 3: it's gonna be.
11:32
Speaker 2: So there's a possibility of a new technique or an
11:35
Speaker 2: evolved technique, yeah, or.
11:37
Speaker 3: Just yeah, it's altercations to the technique. Yeah, just like
11:41
Speaker 3: my squats. You know, I used to turn my feet
11:44
Speaker 3: out pretty good on the squats, and now as I'm
11:46
Speaker 3: doing that stuff, they're facing straight ahead and it actually
11:49
Speaker 3: feels pretty good. So I just have to take what
11:52
Speaker 3: my body gives me and make the best of it.
11:54
Speaker 3: Establish the new normal and make the best of it
11:57
Speaker 3: from there and then just keep it.
12:00
Speaker 2: And it also doesn't hurt that you got someone to
12:01
Speaker 2: be able to look at a professional, one of the
12:04
Speaker 2: best look at your techniques, you know, as you start squatting.
12:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't hurt that you know Hooper lives here,
12:11
Speaker 3: So Mitchell Hooper lives here. Yeah, that was kind of cool.
12:16
Speaker 3: He called me, went over his house for dinner, and
12:18
Speaker 3: then we actually went to the gym. First, we went
12:21
Speaker 3: to the ufc uh Jim that's over off a Centennial
12:26
Speaker 3: and and went in there and filmed some videos which
12:30
Speaker 3: are pretty funny, nice and it was a lot of fun.
12:34
Speaker 3: And he got me on a couple of pieces of
12:35
Speaker 3: equipment and point some things out and that was actually
12:39
Speaker 3: really cool. They have a not a gluten hand machine,
12:44
Speaker 3: but the one we swim your legs up reverse reverse
12:49
Speaker 3: hyper hyper, yes, brain fart, the reverse hyper And he
12:55
Speaker 3: had me get on there and do that single legged,
12:57
Speaker 3: trying to get my glutes to fire better and start
13:00
Speaker 3: moving again. And boys, boy did that make a difference.
13:04
Speaker 3: Boy didn't make a difference. So that's something you know,
13:07
Speaker 3: I'll probably sneak down there. And they have an inner
13:09
Speaker 3: and outer thigh machine as well, which also made a
13:14
Speaker 3: very big impact. And it showed some weaknesses too that
13:17
Speaker 3: I need to work on after this surgery. And I
13:21
Speaker 3: was just happy I was able to step up onto
13:23
Speaker 3: the platform to get onto the thing. I was really
13:25
Speaker 3: excited about that actually, because it's about a foot to
13:28
Speaker 3: get up there.
13:29
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
13:30
Speaker 3: So it's just it's one step at a time and
13:34
Speaker 3: just take what you got. But I'll be back. I
13:37
Speaker 3: did chess this week. I did back yesterday doing shoulders
13:43
Speaker 3: probably tomorrow morning. And then I'll actually doom my pt
13:48
Speaker 3: and then do mix in a little bit legg day with.
13:53
Speaker 1: You know, just just just dip your toes in the water.
13:56
Speaker 3: Be safe, right, Yeah, there's some things that. Yeah, so
14:04
Speaker 3: there'll be some things like leg press for instance, you know,
14:10
Speaker 3: that will actually help me stretch. I'm not gonna throw
14:13
Speaker 3: a ton of weight on it, but I'll put my
14:15
Speaker 3: feet up on there and it'll keep my upper body
14:17
Speaker 3: a little bit forwards and it'll allow me to stretch
14:19
Speaker 3: down as far as I can, and then I can
14:22
Speaker 3: rep it to where it gets tired and then start
14:24
Speaker 3: letting it relax a little bit and push and relax
14:26
Speaker 3: and push stuff like that, and work mobility through that lightly,
14:31
Speaker 3: you know, not going heavy in the slightest, but it'll
14:36
Speaker 3: help with the range emotion and stretching things and stuff
14:39
Speaker 3: like that. So using pretty much anything at my disposal,
14:44
Speaker 3: because just normal stretching isn't really going to work because
14:48
Speaker 3: the stuff's pretty strong and it needs to be moved.
14:52
Speaker 3: So it's good. It's a good problem to have, it
14:55
Speaker 3: really is. Yeah. And you know, like I said, the
14:58
Speaker 3: joints don't hurt anymore now. It's now it's all muscle
15:02
Speaker 3: and tendons, and you know, if I sit still, it
15:05
Speaker 3: doesn't ache or hurt anymore. And then if I move
15:08
Speaker 3: certain ways, it doesn't hurt at all. And then when
15:10
Speaker 3: I move other ways. Yeah, lets me know pretty quick.
15:13
Speaker 3: But that's okay, that's okay, that's to be expected. So
15:17
Speaker 3: it's I'm pretty happy with it. It's going pretty good,
15:20
Speaker 3: and I just have to be patient.
15:24
Speaker 2: Yes, so patient, but a little at a time, one
15:28
Speaker 2: step at a time, something we always repeat.
15:30
Speaker 1: It's getting there.
15:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'll get as strong as I absolutely can, period,
15:37
Speaker 3: that's just it. I'll get it absolutely as strong as
15:39
Speaker 3: I can. You know. My personal goals, you know, we'll
15:44
Speaker 3: see I want to do a powerlating meat first at
15:47
Speaker 3: some point next year, and then I want to do
15:49
Speaker 3: another power lating meat to see where my and really
15:53
Speaker 3: push it a little bit. And then from that point on,
15:56
Speaker 3: I can see if I start training for like OSG
16:01
Speaker 3: the following year, or I'm not ready for it yet.
16:05
Speaker 3: Maybe I maybe I'm not ready for OSG telling fifty nine. Well,
16:08
Speaker 3: if that's what it is, then so be it. Yeah,
16:10
Speaker 3: you know, but I will get there exactly. Besides judging
16:15
Speaker 3: and stuff, yeah, you know.
16:16
Speaker 1: We're still gonna be there having a good time.
16:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, we will be at OSG, so that's gonna be good. Well,
16:23
Speaker 3: we'll be at the Olympia Expo, so that's gonna be awesome.
16:28
Speaker 3: I'll be working the Strength Flex and Bear Steel booth,
16:34
Speaker 3: so that'd be pretty cool. We're gonna be giving away
16:37
Speaker 3: a sandbag to a woman and a sandbag to a man.
16:44
Speaker 3: I think you'll have to hold somewhere between two thirty
16:47
Speaker 3: and two fifty for the men for time to get
16:50
Speaker 3: the free samdbag. Whoever holds it the longest during the
16:53
Speaker 3: day gets the sandbag. We'll give you one that's empty
16:57
Speaker 3: of course, that way, you know, try to figure out
17:02
Speaker 3: exactly you're not draining all the sand out of it.
17:05
Speaker 3: And then the women's I think will be around one
17:07
Speaker 3: seventy five maybe, and then whoever holds that the longest
17:10
Speaker 3: will win a free one as well. So it's gonna
17:13
Speaker 3: be kind of a neat thing to do.
17:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that means you guys can come check us
17:17
Speaker 2: out and more chick nick out. I'll just be hanging around.
17:20
Speaker 3: No, yeah, you're not just hanging around. Come check it.
17:25
Speaker 1: Well, no, we we always have to and then we
17:29
Speaker 1: get to eat, so it's good exactly exactly. Well, h Nick,
17:33
Speaker 1: let's uh ufc.
17:37
Speaker 2: Uh you know maka Jeff Gary and uh did not
17:42
Speaker 2: see that fight turning out the way it did.
17:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well at the distance, I was kind of
17:48
Speaker 3: surprised with that, but you know, he won the decisions,
17:51
Speaker 3: so you know, but that but that's why they fight
17:56
Speaker 3: at the end of the day. That's why they have
17:57
Speaker 3: the fights, because you're gonna see some people step up
18:02
Speaker 3: and you least expect, you know, like, oh my god,
18:06
Speaker 3: like when Frank, when Frank Meer fought uh what's his
18:10
Speaker 3: name Brock listener, man, I need more coffee. When yeah,
18:17
Speaker 3: when Frank fought Brock that first time, everybody thought Brock
18:21
Speaker 3: was just going to kill him, and Rock stepped into
18:24
Speaker 3: a mistake. Frank Frank made him pay for it and
18:27
Speaker 3: was the champion again. So I mean, you just the
18:32
Speaker 3: reason why you fight is because there's no guarantee on
18:35
Speaker 3: who's winning. So for it for the guy to make
18:38
Speaker 3: it all the way through those rounds with the guy
18:40
Speaker 3: because everybody thought he was gonna wipe him out.
18:42
Speaker 1: It's pretty good.
18:44
Speaker 2: Well, and here's the thing is, uh uh I Gary
18:48
Speaker 2: did not fight his typical fight. He was more concerned
18:51
Speaker 2: with being taken down, because look, marka cheff has a
18:53
Speaker 2: game plan, take you down and grind you out.
18:57
Speaker 1: That's what he does.
18:58
Speaker 2: Whether he can submit you or it's going the distance.
19:01
Speaker 2: Usually he you know, he's good for a submission. But
19:04
Speaker 2: here's the thing. Ian did not fight his He typically moves.
19:09
Speaker 2: He was flat footed, He barely threw, and he kicks.
19:12
Speaker 2: He was so concerned. His game plan was not to
19:14
Speaker 2: get taken down, even though he probably got tooken down
19:17
Speaker 2: like six or seven times per round. And yeah, and
19:22
Speaker 2: like he was able to get up, he was able
19:24
Speaker 2: to neutralize uh, you know, any any submissions. But I
19:30
Speaker 2: was just a little like, didn't see Ian fight the
19:32
Speaker 2: way he should be fighting. I think, you know, he
19:34
Speaker 2: needs He's a person that jumps from camp to camp
19:38
Speaker 2: and he needs someone in. Yeah, it is a problem,
19:41
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And when that happens, everybody
19:42
Speaker 2: knows that. You know, it's when there's an issue and
19:46
Speaker 2: you got to go from camp to camp. It's typically
19:48
Speaker 2: not the camp.
19:49
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, you know the funny thing is if you're
19:52
Speaker 3: doing pretty good and you just have a bad fight
19:55
Speaker 3: or you know, don't necessarily jump the camp I mean
20:02
Speaker 3: it's stay in the camp. If you have two fights
20:05
Speaker 3: in a row where you kind of not properly prepared,
20:09
Speaker 3: then maybe start looking at that. Is that them or
20:12
Speaker 3: is that you? Yeah, not also not doing the right thing.
20:17
Speaker 3: So there's a there's there's a lot of things, but
20:19
Speaker 3: jumping camp to camp to camp is you're not one
20:24
Speaker 3: The coach isn't going to get comfortable with the athlete
20:28
Speaker 3: just in one fight, just in one training camp. That's it,
20:32
Speaker 3: you know, and then there's no ability to adapt and
20:36
Speaker 3: progress inside what they're coaching is. So it just causes
20:41
Speaker 3: a lot of problems exactly. And then you get all
20:44
Speaker 3: these people at different points of view. Yeah, you know, hey, hey,
20:48
Speaker 3: no dude, you need to be as strong as possible,
20:50
Speaker 3: as heavy as possible, coming right at the top of
20:52
Speaker 3: the weight limit, and the conditioning will be there as
20:55
Speaker 3: we go because we're gonna do some stuff that's really
20:57
Speaker 3: hard for conditioning as well, and so don't worry about
21:01
Speaker 3: being up at the top of the weight limit. Will
21:03
Speaker 3: just just be as strong as possible. And then you know,
21:07
Speaker 3: you see somebody cut fifteen pounds and come in it
21:11
Speaker 3: like instead of to the heavier weight, come in like
21:15
Speaker 3: way lighter and have no power. Yeah, so, I mean
21:20
Speaker 3: it's there's all kinds of different philosophies and stuff like that.
21:25
Speaker 3: Live one through the end a couple of times to
21:29
Speaker 3: really know, it's not that what the issue is. It
21:33
Speaker 3: could be you just didn't execute properly, or you know, something.
21:39
Speaker 2: Not listening to direction, you know what I'm meaning. That's
21:42
Speaker 2: what it comes down to exactly. You know, we've talked
21:45
Speaker 2: about numerous athletes that are like that, you know, and
21:48
Speaker 2: ians once in a lifetime athlete that can be at
21:52
Speaker 2: the top. But if you're uncoachable, you know, unfortunately, that
21:57
Speaker 2: means you can't be at the top.
21:59
Speaker 3: There's a couple of I'm like that out there.
22:01
Speaker 2: So yeah, well you know, like I said, but you know,
22:04
Speaker 2: you the car, the fights were good.
22:06
Speaker 1: The entire night was good.
22:07
Speaker 2: I watched from early prelimbs to pre limbs to me
22:10
Speaker 2: an event. You know, I'm a big UFC fan, so
22:12
Speaker 2: you know, that's my entire day, you know what I'm saying.
22:15
Speaker 2: So I enjoyed it and which was a lot of
22:18
Speaker 2: fun and thank God for Paramount. I will always say
22:21
Speaker 2: no more, no more pay per views.
22:23
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's nice. You know, that's that's very nice.
22:26
Speaker 3: Thank you. Yeah, Daniel and the UFC and Paramount, thank you.
22:31
Speaker 3: And you know I like to fight before that one.
22:35
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. It was a good fight. It went
22:40
Speaker 1: all rounds.
22:42
Speaker 3: You know.
22:42
Speaker 2: I was just a little disappointed on her coach retiring
22:45
Speaker 2: the way he retired and said what he said. I
22:48
Speaker 2: don't won't get into it, but he kind of stole,
22:51
Speaker 2: you know, even though she didn't win, it stole or
22:53
Speaker 2: titled it stole. It stole her ability because like I
22:56
Speaker 2: think it's like five percent or maybe less than that
23:01
Speaker 2: of people get to fight for a title.
23:03
Speaker 1: You know, she got to fight for that title.
23:05
Speaker 3: And he was like, well, that was her one and
23:06
Speaker 3: only opportunity and she's done.
23:08
Speaker 2: And I'm just like, yeah, yeah, exactly, I've tooken her
23:10
Speaker 2: as far as she can go.
23:11
Speaker 1: And I was like, that was uncalled for.
23:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know he's yeah, he's apologized.
23:20
Speaker 3: Yes, doesn't matter. He's classless and yeah, yeah, you know,
23:25
Speaker 3: it just shows how really not that good of a
23:28
Speaker 3: coach he actually is. It's funny because you get coaches
23:31
Speaker 3: that get talented people and then they end up having success,
23:35
Speaker 3: and then they get another person where they actually need
23:39
Speaker 3: to know their stuff. Because the athletes good enough, they
23:42
Speaker 3: just need to work on some things or be properly prepared,
23:46
Speaker 3: because it just didn't look like on a strength level,
23:49
Speaker 3: she was prepared to go against the other girl. The girl.
23:52
Speaker 2: That girl, Yeah she's from Brazil, but also too, she
23:57
Speaker 2: she's another on a different level to Pett. She's ran
24:02
Speaker 2: the gambit. Yeah exactly, she ran the gambit. She she
24:05
Speaker 2: dictated the entire fight, and she was never once not
24:09
Speaker 2: in danger.
24:10
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
24:11
Speaker 3: I was surprised that I was surprised though she didn't
24:13
Speaker 3: submit her. I was really surprised at that because.
24:18
Speaker 1: That proves Julian Juliana was you know, because.
24:21
Speaker 3: Juliana has the most submissions for women and the other
24:25
Speaker 3: girl had the second most, and I think it looked
24:27
Speaker 3: like she started taking it personal.
24:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, Julia, she was on a five win winning streak
24:35
Speaker 2: going into this, you know what I'm saying. So she
24:37
Speaker 2: was on a roll, and you know, it was just
24:39
Speaker 2: her opportunity. But unfortunately, when talent worked hard, yeah exactly.
24:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, when talent works hard, talent wins. Yeah, talent
24:50
Speaker 3: doesn't work hard the way you think it's going to. Sometimes,
24:55
Speaker 3: you know what She's talented, she worked hard. She just
24:58
Speaker 3: looked like a bigger, stronger girl. It just controlled everything.
25:03
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what it was, you know what I'm saying.
25:05
Speaker 1: So I enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun
25:07
Speaker 1: for me, and uh, you know that was good.
25:10
Speaker 2: And then but let's get into the next because Pumping
25:14
Speaker 2: Iron is a movie I remember seeing and I saw
25:19
Speaker 2: it after I saw Conan the Barbaria because I was
25:22
Speaker 2: completely obsessed.
25:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, and fifty years, fifty years up iron, you know
25:30
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Ain't that crazy?
25:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, So get your tickets now for Columbus twenty twenty seven.
25:37
Speaker 1: Exactly March fourth through seven.
25:39
Speaker 3: And the celebration will be there this year. So it's
25:41
Speaker 3: fifty years of Pumping Iron.
25:43
Speaker 1: So exactly.
25:44
Speaker 2: And the merch merch, Yes, I want to go to
25:49
Speaker 2: Columbus this year because.
25:53
Speaker 1: Exactly. Oh man, the what the I can only imagine,
25:57
Speaker 1: Like I said, in my head.
25:58
Speaker 2: I'm just imagining great T shirts and merchandise there for
26:03
Speaker 2: sale and for pump Iron and everything Arnold.
26:06
Speaker 1: And that's it. Oh yeah.
26:12
Speaker 3: So remember when I promised to kill you last that
26:17
Speaker 3: I lied? Lied?
26:21
Speaker 1: Oh man.
26:22
Speaker 2: A commando is is completely underrated. I don't care what
26:25
Speaker 2: any It's completely under people give it the Commando.
26:31
Speaker 3: The one and Commando are hilarious. He's dead tired.
26:39
Speaker 2: Circular saw blades out of that because he threw a
26:42
Speaker 2: circular saw blade and hit the guy and then threw
26:45
Speaker 2: an axe. When it was that whole shed scene, I
26:47
Speaker 2: was like, this is the movies that I like to watch.
26:51
Speaker 3: I would like to see it with the part of
26:52
Speaker 3: the ship shed scene that got cut because the heart
26:57
Speaker 3: where he cut off a guy's arm and the arm
27:00
Speaker 3: and hit him with it and told him to shut up.
27:04
Speaker 1: See, we need to delete it. Scenes. We might look
27:08
Speaker 1: it up later.
27:09
Speaker 3: Little juvenile, but I mean it's but still.
27:12
Speaker 1: But that's what we want. That eighties action is the
27:16
Speaker 1: only thing I like. And eighties early nineties.
27:18
Speaker 2: You know, I do another podcast that I talk strictly
27:21
Speaker 2: nothing but that, and you know it holds.
27:25
Speaker 1: Arnold Schwarzenegger was a big influence.
27:28
Speaker 2: In the style of the movie that I like to
27:30
Speaker 2: watch because you know, he was type cast and I
27:33
Speaker 2: enjoyed the type cast, you know.
27:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it worked, and I mean he had some
27:37
Speaker 3: other roles that he came out. Kindergarten Cop was not
27:42
Speaker 3: super crazy action movie. And then that's when kindergarten actually
27:46
Speaker 3: taught people. Yeah, yeah, stuff about you know.
27:54
Speaker 1: You know, what does it?
27:55
Speaker 2: I said, you know, maybe we'll talk about the w
27:59
Speaker 2: N yeah after it.
28:00
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I absolutely loved our movies.
28:06
Speaker 3: It's like, how do you know where the woman is?
28:07
Speaker 3: Maybe go ask your.
28:08
Speaker 4: Mom exactly, Mom, Oh my god, it's real simple mom, Mom, yep, dad.
28:21
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. So anyway, but I mean, I do believe
28:25
Speaker 3: people have the right to be whatever they want to be.
28:30
Speaker 3: My problem is is when you force other people to
28:33
Speaker 3: pretend and play in the sports and go in the
28:37
Speaker 3: right go in the bathrooms and stuff like that, you're
28:39
Speaker 3: forcing your will on other people, regardless of how they
28:43
Speaker 3: feel about it. We got uncomfortable as it makes them.
28:46
Speaker 3: It's just well I need to do this because no, no,
28:50
Speaker 3: you're infringing on someone else's rights. At that's right exactly,
28:53
Speaker 3: That's not okay. You want to walk around and that's what.
28:55
Speaker 2: You want to do as long as it doesn't have
28:57
Speaker 2: to affect us and cares exactly, And you're always like,
29:02
Speaker 2: I'm loud and I'm proud. Nobody cares. We just want
29:07
Speaker 2: to enjoy our life. Just don't bother me with your happiness.
29:12
Speaker 3: Do you leave our children alone if you want to,
29:15
Speaker 3: if you want to raise kids and do that, do that,
29:18
Speaker 3: but leave ours alone. Yeah. And you know, if if
29:23
Speaker 3: you want to be that way, cool, just until you're
29:26
Speaker 3: fringe on somebody else's rights by forcing them to pretend
29:30
Speaker 3: like you are. I don't care if you pretend. You
29:32
Speaker 3: can pretend to be whatever you want to. Bet you
29:35
Speaker 3: don't have the right to make other people pretend exactly exactly, Just.
29:41
Speaker 1: So you know, it's.
29:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really don't care. I mean I've actually well anyway, Yeah.
29:50
Speaker 1: It's we'll drop that subject because we can get touchy
29:53
Speaker 1: on it.
29:53
Speaker 2: All day, you know. Uh, I like myself. I'm going
30:00
Speaker 2: to the gun range this weekend. You know, Nick, I
30:02
Speaker 2: told you I bought me a nice little twenty two
30:05
Speaker 2: for my birthday. My son bought it for me. He
30:07
Speaker 2: bought me a little twenty two, you know, short barrel rifle. Yeah, exactly,
30:11
Speaker 2: just something I you know, I'm twenty five yards at
30:13
Speaker 2: the range, you know what I'm saying.
30:15
Speaker 1: I got.
30:16
Speaker 2: I literally got a ten dollars optic because the the
30:21
Speaker 2: by twenty two that I bought was a rock Armory
30:23
Speaker 2: Island Rock Island Armory and it cost me eighty nine dollars.
30:29
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
30:30
Speaker 2: But yeah, but now check this out California fees it
30:34
Speaker 2: made the gun in total one hundred and fifty bucks. Yeah, yeah,
30:40
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying exactly. Hey, I live in California.
30:44
Speaker 2: I get what I get. But then, like I said,
30:46
Speaker 2: I found a nice little red dot optic one time
30:50
Speaker 2: zoom for ten bucks, and it clipped right onto my rifle,
30:54
Speaker 2: you know, just dialing it in, lining it up, and
30:57
Speaker 2: now I'm.
30:57
Speaker 1: Gonna get I'm gonna be able to go down to
30:58
Speaker 1: the range this weekend.
31:00
Speaker 2: Uh, you know for those I've always believe in gun safety,
31:03
Speaker 2: and we have a gun safety we have a gun
31:05
Speaker 2: loss law Los sponsor and you know, uh Lowly West
31:10
Speaker 2: Laws Shield and I actually go into the private lessons

Speaker 1: Exactly.
31:16
Speaker 2: It's dialed in my shooting, it's dialed in my ability
31:18
Speaker 2: to use my green dot on my glock, and it's
31:21
Speaker 2: actually improved so much of my what's called because I'm
31:25
Speaker 2: getting ready to get my c C W and I
31:27
Speaker 2: want to probably say in the next month or two
31:29
Speaker 2: when I actually have some time to uh take the
31:31
Speaker 2: class because you know how long those classes are because
31:33
Speaker 2: you teach it.
31:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, well the ones in California are a lot longer,
31:38
Speaker 3: a lot longer.
31:39
Speaker 1: It's a weekend.
31:41
Speaker 3: And then you got to qualify with You got to
31:43
Speaker 3: pay for it and qualify with every gun you want
31:45
Speaker 3: to conceal carry. So if you got like five different
31:48
Speaker 3: guns that you can conceal carry, you'll have to qualify
31:50
Speaker 3: and shoot with each one. So and then it's only
31:53
Speaker 3: good for two years in the Yeah, once you get
31:56
Speaker 3: it in the county that you live in, you can
31:58
Speaker 3: take it a state.
31:59
Speaker 2: Why.
32:00
Speaker 3: But there's only certain counties that are doing it as well.
32:03
Speaker 2: So Yeah, Luckily I live in one of those counties
32:05
Speaker 2: that are in agreeance with it, so it's not too bad.
32:09
Speaker 1: The Sheriff's department moves them pretty quickly. It still takes
32:12
Speaker 1: up to.
32:12
Speaker 2: A year for the approval, you know, but that's just
32:16
Speaker 2: how the system over here works.
32:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I'll be heading out to Springfield Armory.
32:20
Speaker 3: I think at some point in November. I think I
32:22
Speaker 3: want to say like the middle of November, like November
32:25
Speaker 3: fourteenth and fifteenth, to go out there and do some
32:29
Speaker 3: shooting and look at the guns and watch the manufacturing
32:31
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, because I have a Springfield Armory
32:34
Speaker 3: nineteen eleven TPR forty five APC. Oh my god, is
32:39
Speaker 3: it fun to shoot? And then I also have a
32:41
Speaker 3: Kuna Springfield Armory Kuna, which that one is just pure joy.
32:46
Speaker 3: That's just so much fun because it's just it's you know,
32:51
Speaker 3: it's so much fun. Put an optic on that with
32:54
Speaker 3: a three times man fire.
32:56
Speaker 1: Yeah.
32:56
Speaker 3: Oh, my eyesight's not as good as it used to be.
32:59
Speaker 1: Got but tearing that lines it up.
33:02
Speaker 3: It does. We took it into the twenty five yard
33:05
Speaker 3: range and just knocked out the middle. It was just
33:08
Speaker 3: I mag dumped it in space about this big. Yeah,
33:13

33:22
Speaker 2: Alliance who does the most amazing engravings on yeah, Jeremy

33:30
Speaker 1: I don't know. Like I said, my glock is going
33:32
Speaker 1: to be.
33:33
Speaker 2: My concealed carry, but I do want to get a
33:35
Speaker 2: new block, you know, to just you know, the one
33:40
Speaker 2: that I want to keep that I'm not.
33:41
Speaker 1: Worried about concealed carry, you know what I'm saying. So
33:43
Speaker 1: and in my head I always tell meself, oh maybe I'll.
33:46
Speaker 2: Get a little engraving done on it, just to be
33:48
Speaker 2: a nice little show piece when we're out and about.
33:51

34:07
Speaker 3: the slide exactly exactly. But yeah, he does his Work's
34:11
Speaker 3: that good though, I mean the value that it adds
34:14
Speaker 3: to the gun is not high?
34:15
Speaker 2: Yes, no, right off that it absolutely is. That's why
34:17
Speaker 2: it was amazing work amazing, you know what I'm saying, Nick,
