  Speaker 1: being a member, like I said, you guys asked some questions,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: we answer some questions. And here's a couple of questions
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: that came in. Nick.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: You all right, that's going through this surgery changed your
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: perspective on training, longevity, and how younger athletes should approach
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: recovery and joint health. No, I am probably the only
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: person that has squatted eight hundred pounds for twenty eight years,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: well actually thirty if you count the one I did
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: right before the surgery. I just I extended my career
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: so far beyond what is normal. So I mean, if
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: you have somebody with normal kids, training normal stuff like that,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and then you know, pushing the envelope as far as
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I've pushed it, you know. No, I mean if they
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: do for half the time that I did, they'll be
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: totally fine. So joint health is important. I always did
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: take care of my joints, always did. That's why I
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: lasted so long, you know. I you know, did all
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the things that you could do with you know, between
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: all the different things you can take, and I spas
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that to preserve my joints as much
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: as I can and get the inflammation out. So no,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I don't think I would change a thing or change
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: a thing for people come to the youth coming up,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: because I don't think they're going to take it to
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: the stream that I have. So it's okay. I mean,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't change anything for the world. It's been, you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: at a little rough. But I know this from you know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: two months from now, just two months from now, I'll
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: be a completely different person. I'll be walking normal, I'll
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: be able to start like slowly lifting weights again. And
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I preach slow methodical recovery all the time, and I
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: preach the same thing with growth, slow methodical growth, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I've done that with this so far. The rehab facility
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: was absolutely stunned on how fast I was able to
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: walk and start doing some of the things. So yeah,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: because of the one hip at a time. I do recommend, though,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: if you're going to do it, don't do to it once,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: even though I get it out of the way and
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: my recovery time will be a much shorter length of
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: time than doing one and going through the recovery and
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: getting back to strength, and then doing the other one
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: and getting recovery and getting back to strength. It's much faster,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: but it's a lot easier to do one at a time.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: So I would definitely recommend if you got to do this,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: do one at a time. But yeah, I still wouldn't
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: change the thing or the way I trained or anything once.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: It's the reasons why I lasted so long. I mean,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I don't think anybody is even at twenty years with that.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Maybe Brad Gillingham at deadlifting eight hundred pounds, but that's
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: about it. So yeah, So that's that's my two cents
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: on that one. What's been the toughest part of the
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: recovery so far the pain, the patience, or temporarily losing
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: your independence, temporary losing losing my independence has definitely been
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: a challenge, but that's starting to come back already. I
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: can like I'm home. So I walked around this house
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: without the walker, probably more than I did the whole
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: entire time I was at rehab. Tonight after this, uh,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go out with my mom, who staying
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: here with me for a week. Uh, We're going to
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: go out and take a walk, and I'll use the
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: walker and then go out and walk. Try to walk
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: about half a mile or a quarter mile or so.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: To get more exercising and stuff like that with us.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: But just taking it easy, but definitely working on walking
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: without the without the walker in the house is definitely
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: been challenging. Getting out of bed is rough, but I'm
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: doing it. I figured it out how to get out
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: by myself, So I did that. Just like sitting not
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: on the toilet is not an easy a task me anymore,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: but I figured out how to do that as well. So,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: you know, finding a place to sit in the house, well,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: my e wind chair, So thank you so much for that, guys,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: everybody at Ewin. I set that up at the highest setting.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I set the hands up at the highest setting and
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I back it up against the wall and then I
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: make sure it doesn't rock backwards and I can sit
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: with that against the wall very comfortably. So it's it's awesome.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: And then when I need to get up, the arms
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: are built for heavy people. That chair is built to
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: handle people there five hundred pounds, so I can essentially
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: do a dip and get my feet underneath me to
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: get out of the chair. So there's a will, there's
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: a way around everything. So the pain was probably definitely
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: the most I've experienced in my entire life, my hands down,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the bone pain was incredible. Even even on the on
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: the pain killers that were in the hospital, it was
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: still pretty rough. It keeps you from be able to
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: focus on things and stuff like that. But it's okay.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: It's temporary. You know, it's not going to last, and
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: it's eventually to be gone. And the bone pain now
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: is probably an eighth of what it was right after
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: the surgery. And I mean you can feel that all
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: the way down your thighs because they bang that they
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: drill in it, and they bang that thing all the
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: way down and they cut the head of the femur off.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: And then my left hip, I guess went pretty flawlessly
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: because it wasn't as bad as the right hip. The
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: right hip I was in surgery two hours longer than
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: they expected because there was so much bone growth on
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: it trying to protect that joint that it took him
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: two hours to chisel the bone spurs off off the
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: bones on my hips, which means my bone density is
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: like off the charts. The docs like looking at me
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: going the docks like lookingt me goes, when you heal
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: from this, you're you're not going to have any problems.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I will be able to go back to what I
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: was doing. Yeah, let me say that again. I'll be
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: able to go back to what I was doing. I
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: just have to take my time and get back to it.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: So they're very happy about that. So about the time
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: when I turn about fifty eight, it's about the time
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: where I should be getting pretty close being back to
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: full strength. So then I can start like seriously training
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: from that point on to do things. So that's the plan.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: The plan is, that is the plan. So the goal
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: for me is the squat and dead left eight hundred
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: again in the following year. So in twenty twenty seven,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: that's that's my goal.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Well, you know another official strong Man's Master's cheamp.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that too. You gonna go for that as well.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: So but that's that those that's coming up down the road.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I have to take my time. I have to do
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: this right, which I will. The patience is also rough.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: But having been having gone through injury and having gone
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: through all this before, I know if I follow the
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: things I've done before, will I will get there. I
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: will be there and everything will be fine. So that's
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: exactly what I'm doing. Matter of fact, tonight, I'm going
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: on garage and now that I'm home, I'm turning on
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: the cold Points so I can go get in the
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: cold points to help.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: With That's it. Yeah, that's it, you know. And even
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: with you being in recovery, you got a special guest
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: to come visit you.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Ed Cowen came to visit me. That was
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: that he was in town for the Enhanced Games, which
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: I was. We were supposed to go to that.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we were supposed to be there, but you know,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: sometimes these things exactly which you know, thank you guys
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: for sending us the invite. We really appreciate it.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Oh very much. So if you do it again next year,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: we want to go.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Yes, oh yes, we were a little bit more prepared.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I think those things should. I think the Enhance Game
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: showed one of two things. Yeah one uh one is
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: going to be well, those things didn't help them very much. Yeah, yeah,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say no. The second thing is the drug
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: testing in the IOC is not what they think it is.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: It's not as good as they think it is. It's
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: just like when they went back and during Bigger, Stronger
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: and Faster and the guy retested the race that Carl
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Lewis had supposedly lost to Ben Johnson and turned out
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: and wins the goal at the end of it because
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: of it because of the disqualification. Turns out he was
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: on things too. There's only like, I think two guys
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: in that whole race that were clean with the today's
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: drug testing standards. Yeah, exactly, but nobody talks about that. Yeah,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: So I think I think what they did getting this
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: and then writing everything down and stuff like that, I
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: think it's good for science. I also think it's great. Yeah,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: it's good for like all kinds of things. But I
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: think it just goes to show the IOCs, you know,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the people trying to do these things and make this
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: money and stay ahead of everything because the money's not
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: winning the gold medal. The money's and the endorsements after
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: the gold.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Medal exactly because you don't make money off the gold medal.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I think it's thirty grand. It's not very much, but
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: the endorsements after the gold medal is massive and it's lifelong.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I think whatever's out there right now that the IOC
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: is going after, they're not finding it's it's just the guy.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: There's always the curve and they're always behind it.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and then he was speaking on the enhanced games. Uh,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately Mitchell and Hathor did not break the record.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, yeah, the platform was nice. The
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: whole thing was the way they had the weights, changes,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: the weight set ups, the platform and everything was absolutely amazing.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: I think Four looking at it several times now. I
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: think when four grabbed the bar with his left hand,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: it was in the wrong place and when he went
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: to pull it off the floor, it kind of turned
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: him a little bit. And once he got and he
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: well he didn't shift his feet, he can't move his feet,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: but it moved his hips. Yeah, and when that changed
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: the angle of his hips in it, they it kind
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: of rotated to the left a little bit. When that happened,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: that was the end of it. He managed to get
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: it to his knees, but being crooked like that. It
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: wasn't gonna happen, not with that kind of not with
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: if you're up, no matter who you are, if you're
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: up near your max and you turn like that, it's
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: not going to happen.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: So, but do I think the horrible pull five point
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: fifteen someday? Absolutely? Now, another thing I'd like to talk
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: about is that kid that pulled five twenty sumo style
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: with that thing. That bar is a joke. Yeah, I'm
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: going to say this now. I'm sick of dead lafars.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I think they should be banned all the way across
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: the board. They're They're useless. The bar should not be
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: giving four and five inches before the bar comes off
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: the ground. It also creates a whip when it comes
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: off the ground. So if you know how to pull
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: through that and you practice it, it's going to make
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: things a lot easier. They've also moved the collars out
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: further and made the bar thinner.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Yep, so that's easy to.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Double thumblock, which I think they should also get rid
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: of the double thumblock. It's no different other than you
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: can take the pain on your thumbs as long as
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: you're willing to take the pain on your thumbs. You're
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: locked in. You will not let go unless you let
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: you let your hands go. So it's I want to see.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I want to see legitimate, legitimate. I want to see
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: him pull that within a leak of bar.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: And here's something else I want to see, because you know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: speaking about the guy that came to visit me. Here's
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: something else. I want to see all these people that
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: want to break all these records and think they're the goat.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: I want to see people walk back their squats because
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: that's what he did. I want to see people have
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: a two hour way in, Yeah, because that's what he did. Ye.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I want to see people squat bench and deadlift on
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: the same bar, because that's what he did. If you
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: want to break his goddamn records, then you break them
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the way he did them. If you can't break them
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: the way he did him, you can't break his records.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: So if you want, if you want to beat the goat,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: then beat the goat the way the goat did it,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: not this modern age. Hey, look, I get new records
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: because I pull on a super soft deadlift bar. Yep,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Because I mean, how much Eddie Hall in my opinion
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: is the best deadlifter of all time because at the
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: twenty seventeen World Strongest Man that he won, the next
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: to last event was the deadlift and he did one
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: thousand and forty one on an axle. The bar did
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: not give that straight one thousand and forty one off
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: the floor. Is there anybody out there that can beat
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: what Eddie did, I don't think so. I don't think
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: anybody's in close. The only person I think that's close
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: that could probably do it right now is four because
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: he was the one that was right on his ass.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Brian had pulled the last one before that too, but
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Brian had torn his hamstring. Yeah, so without Brian Terren' hamstring,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: could he pull the one thousand and forty one maybe?
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: But Thor didn't get it. Yep, So I think Thor
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: is capable of doing that now. But still, in my opinion,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: the greatest ever deadlift ever done was that one at
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: the World's Strongest Man finals. And yeah, they can wear suit,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: they can wear a suit, and they can wear figure
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: eights if they want. I don't care do it with
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: a bar that doesn't bend at all. That same axle
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: that Eddie did with it.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Try that, Try that exactly.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: You know, I think Colton's an amazing athlete. I think
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: he's super fricking strong, I really do. But I think
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: if he wants to get to that level where Ed's at,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: then he needs to do it the way he did it.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: And also remember was in the two seventy five, it
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: was in the two forty two's and the two twenties.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: That nine oh one deadlift that he pulled was in
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: the two twenties, yep, and on a stiff bar. So
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: anybody who wants to think they could pull over that
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: nine oh one, do it on an Alco bar, you
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: know the ones they squat with bench with and deadlift with.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: So that's my rent for the day.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, we could take a little shift, uh
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you know with the news of Brian show.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: And that's Brian's heart and soul, it really is. But
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: it just Brian's also a very good businessman. And the
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: business model worked when he was competing in it, and
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: it worked when four came and competed, uh with against
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Tuper and stuff like that, but the model the next
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: year was just off. And there also there's things getting
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: tight with the economy and stuff like that and people
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: were not you know, investing in it as much and
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: stuff like that, and it created you know, it created
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: things where he was going to struggle to break even.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: And it's totally understandable. He but he put his life,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: heart and soul and it he changed strong Man. He
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: brought a lot of the spectacle back to strong Man
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: with the events and inventing the events. And I'm so
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: grateful and so appreciative that he let me be a
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: part of that and let me test some of those
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: events as well that it really meant a lot to me.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: And I you know, I wish I talked to him more.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I really do. But uh yeah, it's it's it's going
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: to be a big loss because that's a you know,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: a nice payday for all the athletes they get, they
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: sure that are in that sixteen and the way they
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: get treated and the way they get taken care of,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: and the way they would have a fun day after
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: it was all over, because the world doesn't do that.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Worlds is like, oh you're done, okay bye, not like
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: here we're here with the tourists. Things like that, and
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: getting the guys to go you know, Myrtle Beach, getting
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: guys having the guys go to the carousels and all
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: the crazy stuff that's on at Myrtle Beach and watching
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: the guys go have fun at Myrtle Beach the day
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: after and then flying everybody out, you'd have a great
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: media day. And they never They're never smart enough to
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: do stuff like that. It's all about, you know, the
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: budget and the immediate budget. It's why it's a four
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: day contest now. So the guys are there six total
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: days or maybe seven total because I think they come
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: in two or three days before. But you know, not
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: having that rest day in there for the guys when
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: he do a contest is kind of crazy. And it's
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: you know, strong Man Survivor now, but it's still the
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: biggest title in the world. And that's just how it is.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: But I think if Brian could figure out a way
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: to keep the snow going in the way that it
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: should be going, he would. But Brian's also boys are
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: getting bigger, and he's spending more time with him and
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: he's playing with them and his family. Man, his family's
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: very important to him, and you know, I get my
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: hats off to him. He's a great father to those boys.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: He really isn't. He's a great husband to carry. So
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I have nothing but respect for that man, and whatever
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: he decides he's going to put his attention to, he's
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: going to be pretty darn good at it. So we'll
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: see if he keeps arm wrestling. I don't know if
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: that's dead or not, or whether he's going to keep
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: doing it or what. But I think this weight loss
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: thing for him is fantastic. I think him trying to
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: get his body fat down to what, what do you say?
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Ten percent? Yeah, Ben, Yeah, I think he's trying to
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: get the bodyweight down to ten percent is freaking amazing.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: You know, just see how much lean muscle mass that
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: the guy's got on him. It's unreal.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Well, he just posted that video of him throwing the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: ball right now, and I was like, God, damn, he
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: is really really fucking really bringing it down. You know,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, and I hate to say this,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: but you know the lifespan of big men, you know,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: at a certain point, and Brian's a very smart person,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: what do you do to extend that light.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Bring your weight down. There's not a whole lot of
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: four hundred pounds sixty year old men out there.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: So you know, at some point in time he knows
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: he's got to let the foot off the throttle and
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: let the body. To this day, he's still dealing with
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: that leg issue.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that as well. But I mean he looks great.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: He seems to be doing great, and I nothing but
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: my hat's off to him. People are like, is he
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: gonna have a discipline to do that? And I'm like,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: are you kidding? That man's got the discipline that he's
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: missedter discipline. Everything that guy does is discipline. So yeah,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: he's he's far and away got the discipline to do that,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: and you get it done.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's exactly.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: One of the best and smartest athletes I've ever seen
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: and gotten to talk to him and be friends with so.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: And you know, uh, we're strongest man on earth. I
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: went to that show, and yeah, at all the shows
• 22:02

  Speaker 1: least organized and set up from the outside looking in,
• 22:09

  Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna miss being able to go and enjoy

• 22:25
  Speaker 1: beginning and it's just you.
