  Speaker 4: the scene story? Memorable moment from filming The Strongest Man
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: in History that fans didn't get to see on TV?
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Was there an event a prank boy? Was there the
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: challenge that stands out as one of our favorite one
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: of your favorite memories. Uh, there's there's a lot of
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: them there. There was a ton of them. Uh, the
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: guy that made the acts in the in the Viking one,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: there's a scene that was completely cut out of everything
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: where Robbie and Eddie had went to meet the guy
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: and have dinner with it stuff like that, and they
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: were getting uh, they just were kind of getting a
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: little out of control during dinner and kind of inadvertently
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: making fun of the family and stuff like that and
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: the food and some of the other stuff. And yeah,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: that was that was pretty It's like, guys, come on,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: get it together. But that that was one that people
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: didn't know about, but they that was pretty funny. And
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: then uh, uh Eddie, Eddie took a piss in the
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: in the in the another part of another. One of
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: the things in that episode was pretty funny. Is Eddie
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: took a p in the snow. Yeah, and I came
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: up behind him and tried to push him into the snow.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: It didn't work out so well, So I go running
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: off and he takes in wads up a piss snowball
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: and throws it at me and hits me in the back.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: So, oh my god.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: That was pretty funny. I mean, the whole the whole
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: things like that. I mean, you could you can go
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: through probably four or five, maybe even six of these
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: things from each of the shows. You know, there was
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: a time where I went, we had to go get Robert,
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: and I went and banged on his door and he
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: opens the door and he's just in his underwear. That's
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: a sight you just cannot unsea. Is Robert was standing
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: there and just his underwear. It's you'll be scarred for
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: life after something like that. God bless his wife. But yeah, so,
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, they're just just all kinds of stuff. It's
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: just another prank on that episode that you don't see
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: is when I had to do the ice bath and
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: the jacuzzie. Yeah, they're dumping ice on my head. They're
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: dumping snow on me, they're stirring up the water, they're
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: keeping me in there too long, all that other stuff.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: It was part of the game. It was funny. I
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: got out. I'm sitting in the chair and they put
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: a put a towel around me to start a blanket
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: around me to start warming me up. And I'm just
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: starting to get warmed up and everybody's clearing out and
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: eighty sneaks in the back, gets another bucket of the
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: ice water out of the jacuzzie and dumps it right
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: over the top of my head and just takes off running.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: I ended up chasing him through in my underwear through
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: the doors. He starts run upstairs and I catch his
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: foot and he falls into the stairs like kind of
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: like push on. Call it calm, call him a friendly guy. Yeah. Yeah,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: we were just laughing our asses off. It was just funny.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: But they cut that scene out because the the language. No, no,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: they could bleep out the language. They did that a lot. Actually, no,
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: they just they thought it was too mean. Oh it
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: was super funny. They just thought it was too mean.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: And yeah, but that's you know, that's talk.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah. The female producers from the Lifetime Network. I
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: just thought it was too me and they wouldn't let
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: them put it in there. Yeah, so it was it
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: was funny. That was probably those are a few that
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: just off the one episode. Yeah, maybe we just pick
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: an episode and pull out some things that were Oh yeah,
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: but it's good stuff good. That was a lot of fun.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know last week we covered you know,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: say it was a last minute episode, so you know.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Apologize to everyone.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: You know, Nick was still a little under the weather,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: but he still wanted to get something out to you guys,
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: and so we didn't get to cover it last week.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: But in Strong Mad News, there was a big change.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Oh for Giants. Yeah, it was a huge change for Giants.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Darren Sadler finally about out Colin Bryce. Now I had
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: heard about this a while ago, but they officially made
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: it public to where it was public knowledge and people
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: could like talk about it stuff like that. Colin will
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: stay on because he's in a in a role voice
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: the voice and working working the mic and doing stuff
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: and uh doing post film production and stuff like that
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: where he's you know, talking and describing and stuff like that.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: So he'll stay on in some of that stuff. But uh, Yeah,
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: it's uh, kind of a big deal. So now it's
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: just Darren. Yeah, it's just Darren. So it's it's going
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: to be kind of a interesting change to see how
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: that all works out. But I'm fairly sure. I mean,
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: they'll they'll still be talking. One will influence the other
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: to a certain degree. But Darren, Darren now has the
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: final say. So there we go. Yeah, it should be,
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: it should be interesting. Change, should be should be a good.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Change exactly fresh blood in blood.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Well it's not fresh blood, I.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Mean, I know, but you know, a new perspective, I guess,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: or his perspective.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just be something. You know, we'll we'll see
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: how it evolves as the season comes.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh for sure. But the contest ended up turning
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: out pretty darn interesting. It really did.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, it did.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: The first event. You know, Andre he ended up winning
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: the first event pretty handily. It went up by nine seconds,
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: so you know.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: It would Trey beat him in the in the log lift,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: but you know what I'm saying.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: He beat everybody else exactly exactly, So you know that
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: that wasn't a big surprise, because man, that guy's got
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: a good overhead press.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Cordioca came in, had a great event. He's very
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: good at overhead. He's very explosive, he's very dynamic, he's
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: good at that stuff. Evan came in. He got third
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: in that event, so all right, he started out good.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Yea.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Flynn stepped up and did real well with the event
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: in a fourth, and then Hooper ended up fifth in
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: that one. So consistent. But at that point you can
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: see he's off a little bit.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which we discussed last week.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Of Vegas Flings, you know, just everything. So and then uh,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: you know, the rest of the guys. Reno actually got
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: tenth in this event, which is kind of surprising. But
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: I mean some things you just got to get used
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: to do in the events in the in those places.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: But he's he started off in tenth and he still
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: made the podium, so it was a good start. Let's
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: see here event two of the Websterstones. Now I figured,
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: you know, that was gonna be pretty interesting. Andre killed it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I mean he absolutely killed it. He finished he went
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: forty three point four meters. That's a pretty good distance
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: with that. And then Reno Nal jumps back here. He
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: goes from tenth and gets second at forty meters forty
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: point forty meters, so that was good. Cordiaca also performed well,
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: so he's sitting in a good spot. He got forty meters.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Mitchell Hooper got forty meters, so Mitch is still doing
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: pretty good. He's tied for thirty in that one. Evan's
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: still in there running pretty good. He got thirty seven
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: point eight meters and then rag Leasis Patty Patty Hayes
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: and then Patty in that first event got ninth. In
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: this event, Patty gets eighth. Okay, so he's he's not
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: doing great, he's not doing bad. He's getting points. Adam
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: Bishop and then Josh Nick Gordion and Andrew Flynn rounded
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: out the stone lift. So the Webster stone lift, you know,
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: it's it's kind of interesting to see how it goes.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: But they're still doing pretty good. And then they got
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: to the deadlift. Yes, yeah, two people absolutely dominated that.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: It was a three and three hundred and sixty kilo
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: axle and Patty and Reynod now both got nine reps
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: with it. They tied for a new world record in
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: that event. Yeah, which I kind of would like to
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: see them go back to tiebreaker on that of being
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: body weight. Yeah, because it's a lot harder for the
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: lighter guy. Oh yeah, and it would only make more sense.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: But I think at that point they should sit down
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: a scale and have them both get on a scale
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: which everyone's lighter is the official world record holder. I
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: have one like that with Mike Jenkins, and Mike was
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: one hundred pounds heavier than I was. Yeah, it was
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: the hip lift. But that's okay, I mean, that's just
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: my opinion. It's my two cents taken from what it's worth.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: And then so they tied for first, and then Andre
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: and Martinez both got seven reps, so not too bad.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: But Andre is still up in there, up in the
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: top three, yep. And then Matt Ragg and Adam Bishop.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: It seems a little off for Adam for me, but
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: because Adam is a pretty darn good deadlifter. But you know,
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: it's just how guys in there are on that day.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Cordiaca getting five reps with that, now, that's that's pretty
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: good for Pablo, I mean, it really is. He's that
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: guy is freaking getting better and stronger. He thickens up
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: a little bit more and starts doing more rose stuff
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: like that with his back and starts doing a lot
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: more block poles and rock poles and stuff like that.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: He's he's he thickens up a little bit. He puts
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: on him by another twenty twenty five pounds. He'll still
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: keep that speeding quickness and explosiveness, but that thickening up
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: will really get his deadlift up there. And then Josh
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: and Nick and then Evan got a zero, which is
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: kind of interesting. He yeah, and then the Hooper gets
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: a zero. Yep. That that leads me to believe that
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: both those guys boys got hurt and had suffered some
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: injuries and just was like, okay, cool, well, you know
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: we're out. Mitchell Hooper is the reigning world strongest manny orread,
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: he knows he's going back. He doesn't have to push. Yeah,
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: he doesn't have to push anything harder than he doesn't
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: need to, and he probably hurt something and just like,
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: all right, we're good at that point. So those two
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: were kind of kind of out. So it kind of
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: kills him in the points. Nick Gordion got three reps.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: You know, that's not bad for Nick. He's he struggles
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: with the deadlift again. There's somebody. He keeps getting better.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: He just keeps showing up. He keeps getting better. He's
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: going to be one to watching like five years exactly.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: He's going He's going to be like the Journeyman style.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: But the thing is is he doesn't have like these
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: strengths that are super like outrageous, but they're solid. And
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: then his weaklifts are still not too bad, and we
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: are still improving greatly. As long as he keeps improving
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: it the right, he's improving, he's going to be, you know,
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: four or five years from now, he's going to be
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: there and be there for a good long while. Yeah.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: And then Patty Hayes, Uh, get well, Patty Hayes pulled
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: nine and he just killed it.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: The next event was the Conan's Wheel. Yeah, and Patty
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: Hayes just destroyed everybody on that and got it eleven
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: and six degrees. Yeah, damn, which he just ran away
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: with the damn tang. And it's it's great, it's but
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: it's a lot to Patty. Patty's been top five at
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: World Strongest Man, and this just shows he belongs top
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: five at World's Strongest Man. And he gets events where
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: they're moving and their their their quick speed events. He's
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: he's gonna be hard, but he's gonna be rough to
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: deal with for some people. Pablo Cordiaca, no big surprise there,
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: got second at eight to seventy seven degrees. You know,
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Pablo also very athletic. That's a great event for him.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Andrew Flynn also very athletic. He got third at seven
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: hundred and seventy degrees. Right on. Now, that keeps him
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: up at the top again. You know, he's fourth in
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: that event he got he he got fourth in that
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: event at seven hundred and fifty five degrees. And then
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: then Andre finally has an event that's not great, but
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: it's not bad. He's still in the top five. He
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: got six hundred and thirty or seven hundred and twenty
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: two degrees for fifth place. Nick Gordion didn't do too bad.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: He got sixth at six thirty. Martin's lease six. This
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: was kind of a surprise for me. I figured he'd
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: go further than that. He got six twenty six for seventh.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: Josh Pataka got five ninety three, Matthew red got five seventeen,
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Adam Bishop got four eighty six, and Evan and Mitchell
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: didn't hurt, didn't do it. So yeah, they're they're out
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: of the show and they're hurt. Now, last event was
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: the Castle Stones and uh, Patty Hayes came out there
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: and murdered him. He did him in twenty two point
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: two one seconds all five stones. Just yeah, he knew
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: it was there and he knew he needed to go
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: and pick up points, so he went out there and
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: murdered it. And then right behind him is Martin's Leaseix.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: Martins did the five stones in twenty two point two
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: nine ye point zero eight is the difference between those two.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Raino now again right up at the top place, did
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: five and twenty two point two three. And then Andre
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: again fourth in this event. So his worst event was fifth,
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: and he was in the top you know, five and
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: all the events he's yep, you know, so he did
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: great twenty eight seventy two. Josh did it and did
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: five and twenty nine point ninety two. Nick Gordione at
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: sixth did five at thirty four point five two, Matthew
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: rag was seventh at thirty five point forty five with
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: all five, and then Andrew Flynn got four and twenty
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: point four nine and had a Bishop got four and
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: twenty two point zero four, so clearly Adam was a
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: little off, and Pablo Cordiaca surprisingly did four and twenty
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: three point nine six. Yeah, so Pablo I think just
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: ran out of gas. I saw that one, and I
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: think he just he was just tired. But it was
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: a great contest all the way around. And for the
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: for the final standings, andre A one with fifty point
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: zero point five points, which that was six points ahead
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: of Patty Hayes who got second, and Reno now at
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: forty four point four, which Reno is a former World
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Strongest Man and so he should automatically is my understanding.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: As it used to be, as long as the former
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: World Strongest Men were healthy and they wanted to go,
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: they could go exactly so, but Reno got third, so
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: that guarantees those guys. Pablo Cordiaca finished ended up finishing fourth,
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: martinz le six ended up finishing fifth, Andrew Flynn was sixth,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Josh Pataka was seventh, Matt rag was eighth at twenty
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: five point five. Nick Gordione was ninth with twenty five points,
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Adam Bishop was tenth at twenty point five, and then
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Evan had eighteen and Mitroll Hooper had seventh team point five.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: So both of those guys, you know, they were hurt
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: and they were out. But this is pretty good. There's
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: I believe six Giants Live shows a year, so you know,
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: top three automatically go. If you're in that top three
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: and multiple things that drives them go down. Usually if
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: you're in the top six or seven at a Giant's
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Live show, you got a pretty good shot at getting it,
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: You really do. Because so many guys do so many
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: of the shows. You get a lot of repeats in
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: the top three, or guys that are already qualified even
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: in the first event. Once they're qualified, you're qualified. So
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: you know you're taking up spaces. So as long as
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: you get there to perform well and you do a
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: good job and you make it in there, or you're
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: the only person from your country that can get to
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: a Giant's Live show, that can qualify to get to
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: a Giant's Live show, and you go there and you
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: show up and you make a good showing, you got
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: a good shot at going. Yeah, so it's kind of
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: a neat thing, but yeah, so turnout pretty interesting show.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: The only guy I picked, uh was Reno. He ended
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: up third. Ye, so the other two guys that I
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: picked got hurt. So but it's still it was a
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: heck of a show. There's a heck of a bunch
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: of great competitors in it. It really was. It was
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: gonna be a tough show. It's and it's this is
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: why you still do the show. Can't go but this
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: guy's the favorite, and this guy's this, and this guy's that. Yep,
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: you always got to go do the show because you
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: never know who's going to show up and exactly, Yeah,
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: they just have the have the best day of their
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: their lives. Like I don't think anybody thought in twenty
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: seventeen I was going to win the heat. Yeah I
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: had Z in my heat and beat Z in a heat,
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: and you know, you take it when you can get it.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: So yep, that's it.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: But but yeah, so it's a it's a pretty neat thing.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: So it was a great show. And congratulations saw the
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: guy and the guys that got hurt. I hope you guys,
• 22:02
