The Most Asked Question Nick Gets · The Best Experience

0:19
You're listening because the best experience, what did they can best? All right,
0:36
this is the best experience, the best and the Angry Dad And before
0:43
we get these I'm always angry, you know. It's just that's just one
0:46
of those things. People always ask that. And if you go back to
0:49
my podt ye, Well, my the reason I'm so angry is because when
0:55
I originally started doing my podcast for the Angry Dad podcast, um, it
1:00
was just me being mad at the world, at the things that I thought
1:03
people should know, as in common sense. So I would lean into that
1:07
because like you would, yeah, it makes you very it could. It
1:12
can because like you would think, common sense is blessed upon the world,
1:15
but it is not. And when you when you have common sense and you
1:19
and you and you're objectively looking at everyone around you, it frustrates you because
1:25
you're like, everyone should know this, This should be a staple with people's
1:27
lives. And the first a couple of episodes of the Angry Dad podcasts are
1:33
extremely rough. Like I always tell people, Angry Dad podcast did not start
1:38
out being what it is now. But what it was was just me being
1:44
upset at the world and me me being a dad and me trying to teach
1:48
my kids common sense, you know what I'm saying. So that that's how
1:51
the angry Dad came to be. It's like, so it was also kind
1:55
of like a therapy thing to keep you from lashing out of the world as
1:57
well. Hundred percent A hundred per cent that is exactly like like like I
2:04
didn't know I needed podcasting until I started doing podcasting, and then once I
2:08
started doing, I was like, oh, I'm actually relieving my stress and
2:13
not bottling it in. And then it just you know that that that that
2:17
alleviation that I was having actually started turning into my everyday advice that I would
2:23
give myself and give it to my kids, and then it just kind of
2:27
morphed into like this motivational like get off your fucking ass, let's get shit
2:30
fucking done if you like, I always tell people I have every excuse in
2:35
the book to not do things, but I never I never let it stop
2:38
you. And when I mean like like every excuse in the book, I
2:40
was like, like, I've gone through two divorces, I've lost everything twice.
2:46
I've literally slept on a couch with just a blanket, not having anything
2:50
but a box of clothes, not even a box of clothes, a box
2:53
of work clothes. All I had was uniforms that I wore from my job,
2:57
and then slowly built back everything. And then I had a heart attack,
3:00
I had a stroke, I had another heart attack, and guess what,
3:05
not once have I ever let that be a factor in me, exactly,
3:08
And that's why always know exactly. It's kind of like people don't seem
3:15
to realize that nobody's life is perfect. Yeah, I mean if you look
3:19
at the wealthy, I mean, you look at religious leaders, you look
3:23
at everybody. Everybody has their issues. Everybody has their own form of struggles
3:29
and suffering and stuff like that. It's finding the things that you enjoy that
3:37
make you happy while going through these issues and never giving in and always trying
3:40
to make things better in your life in the end that are going to make
3:46
all the difference in the world. And it's stop being a victim and start
3:53
doing things yourself, because the best way to not be a victim is to
3:59
do it all on your own, because then you only got one person to
4:01
blame, and that's yourself. And that's the problem. A lot of people
4:05
don't like looking in the mirror and seeing the cause of their own misery in
4:09
most cases, and which is the truth? You know? And that's like
4:13
a lot of my podcast is it's looking internal because everyone always well wishes and
4:18
wants and like dreams. And I was like that. And then it took
4:23
a simple question for my mom, what do you want in your life?
4:27
And I told her what I wanted and she was like them, why aren't
4:29
you doing it? And then I really had to sit there and be like,
4:31
you're absolutely right, why didn't I or why don't I do what I
4:38
want? Because like I had the narrative of like, and I'll type of
4:41
most people. I'm a father, I have kids, they come first.
4:44
But the thing is is I had to learn what it is to put myself
4:46
first to be able to put them first, you know what I'm saying,
4:50
Like that, once I started taking care of myself, I was able to
4:54
start taking care of everybody else that's involved in my family. You know,
4:56
that's one of the biggest struggles that a lot of us have a hard time
4:59
getting over that leap because we feel like we have to be this machine to
5:03
be able to support everyone around us. So like, like, once I
5:06
figured out my happiness trickles down to their happiness. It took my life to
5:12
a new level where it pushed me to do things that I would have never
5:15
done before my life. Look a look at this right now, it's at
5:18
me. Nobody on the other side of the world, Nixon, Vegas.
5:21
I'm in California. But yet somehow we connected and somehow we're working together,
5:27
and somehow that happened. But that would have never happened if I just sat
5:30
on my hands. It never did anything, no, exactly. And that's
5:34
that's also one of the biggest things for people to get over is Okay,
5:40
well I want to do these things. I'm motivated to do something, but
5:43
I don't know what to do. And it's that's where the inner searching comes
5:46
in. That's where the inner decisions come in. And that's where if you
5:53
if you have desired to be uber wealthy, then like I have a friend
5:58
who's desired to be wealthy and to make a million dollars and have that saved
6:04
and put away and invested in his sole focus and I mean he was working
6:11
a door at the time, and he wanted to get into security and stuff
6:16
like that, and he was struggling going through a lot of issues, and
6:19
it was just like, dude, just keep doing you, keep making yourself
6:24
better, and eventually you'll get that security job you're after, keep going after
6:30
them, keep trying to get on with the companies. And it took him
6:33
about three years to really get into the private security and he started getting into
6:40
it and then he met a good person and then now his life is doing
6:44
really well there and he's working a ton of hours and he's doing all these
6:46
things and he's halfway to reaching that goal. And it's kind of interesting to
6:55
see what the power of the mind can do, in what kind of determination
7:00
can do when you just put your mind in your effort towards those things.
7:03
And he stayed on it. It was a grind and inside of five years
7:08
it's paying off for him. And kind of proud of him for that.
7:13
But and it's like that with anything, so just find your thing. I
7:17
mean me, it was training and lifting and competing and stuff like that,
7:23
which is eventually I was able to leave my regular job, which was selling
7:28
beer and working for a beer company and being a supervisor for them and stuff
7:31
like that to now doing this with you and the social media platforms in the
7:38
YouTube and all the other stuff from that, but it led me to a
7:42
TV show which I mean, I don't know how many times I heard weightlifting
7:46
is never gonna get you anywhere. You know, you're you're why are you
7:50
doing this? You know, like like two X wives that are like,
7:54
you've won all this stuff and you've done all these things, when you're gonna
7:57
stop? And it's like, no, this is what I like to do.
8:00
This keeps me seeing it keeps me, makes me happy, makes me
8:03
happy. And between this and meditation, I mean, it gets me going
8:07
in the right direction every day, is it? And I found the thing
8:11
that I love to do, and now I've been able to sustain myself.
8:15
I'm not interested in being a millionaire. I do want to have enough money
8:20
to go on vacations and to do things and to have a decent house,
8:24
which I already have, and raise good kids, which I'm in the middle
8:28
of and stuff like that. That's what makes me happy. And that's you
8:37
know, you just got to find your inner thing that's going to make your
8:41
everyday worth getting up and worth going to do. That's mine. And that's
8:46
the biggest struggle though for people, because everybody wants to change everything everybody wants
8:50
to be better overnight overnight. There first, there is no overnight, Yes,
8:56
there is no overnight. It's just willing to work and put your things
9:01
in guys that most guys do not get to a world elite level in side
9:07
of three to five years. It's usually ten to fifteen years. They finally
9:11
get to that level, and then depending what they do, how long they
9:16
stay at that level, and what their desire is, you can get to
9:20
that level, but your desire can be to more get to that level and
9:24
become well known for it, but not necessarily be one of the best in
9:30
the world and use this as an avenue to move to something else. My
9:35
prime example of that is probably of all people, Robert Oberst. You know,
9:39
the Righteous Gemstones are getting ready to come out in June. Most people
9:43
don't know this, but he got a spot on Righteous Gemstones and they sign
9:46
him for another season. So he's going to be on that thing for two
9:50
years. And that kicks off in June on HBO, which is which is
9:54
a hell of a show. If you have not seen any it is hilarious.
9:56
It's ride yeah. And John Goodman, I mean he's sitting here telling
10:03
me how you know, Atlas has sat on John Goodman's lap and they're hanging
10:09
out stuff. So it's it's a it's a neat thing and an unbelievable,
10:13
amazing opportunity for him. But that was his thing, you know. He
10:18
you know, he's got to do so many incredible things and he literally came
10:22
from nothing as well. He's got either nine or ten siblings and sorry rounding
10:26
anyway, right, but literally living you know, in a car and having
10:33
very very little to having, you know, developing the strong and Pretty thing
10:39
and selling the shirts, doing the YouTube and doing the social media and you
10:45
know us cutting two different pilots and the one strongest Men of history moving forwards
10:50
and stuff like that. It was just a really neat thing for him.
10:54
And you know, Eddie came from a regular, you know, the most
11:00
part normal family and you know his goal was to become world's strongest man and
11:05
he did. Brian came from a good family, a good home, but
11:09
his goal is to be world's strongest man, and now he's four times world
11:13
strongest man. So it just you have to find what you want to do
11:18
and then doing it from there. Eddie won that title and between endorsements and
11:24
stuff like that, and his YouTube channel and Facebook is making an unbelievably good
11:33
living. I mean, the guy bought a tank to drive around the streets
11:35
and you know that's pretty amazing. I guess which he drives around consistently?
11:39
You're right, I guess with rubber tracks you can drive eddiewhere in England with
11:43
a day which I and if I guess in England you can't get a driver's
11:50
license to you're seventeen, but if you drive a tract vehicle you can drive
11:52
it at sixteen. So I guess the plan is is when Max gets to
11:58
sixteen, can be driving a tank to school, which is pretty funny and
12:03
stuff like that. So it's neat and I mean, he's done so well
12:07
for himself and it's just amazing really fund of him and Brian developing all the
12:11
businesses off of strong Man and you know, evolution athletics and undefined nutrition and
12:18
you know, all the YouTube and stuff and the strongest man in history things
12:24
like that. He's done a ton with it. And he's one of the
12:26
few people. I mean, all these guys I still respect, and there's
12:31
not a lot of people I respect anymore. So people find the motivation for
12:35
men, find your niche and do it, like Robert says, till the
12:41
wheels fall off. You know, you just do it and do it and
12:43
do it. Eventually when you love what you're doing, you're going to be
12:48
very happy with it anyway, and eventually you'll make a good living out of
12:52
it. So it's just one of those things that people need to understand and
12:56
follow themselves. And that's the biggest thing is fine the search within yourself.
13:01
You're finding what it is that you're that interested that you want to do every
13:05
day with the same fund and vigor that you do everything else in life with.
13:09
And that's what you move into which is the truth, which is the
13:15
truth? You know what I'm saying. Like I said, it's a hard,
13:18
deep look that you have to take and then but also to there's usually
13:22
a catalyst for you to have to take that that and so until that catalyst
13:24
really is you know a lot of times our words are just that words until
13:30
they find meaning in you. Once they find that meaning in you, and
13:33
you can really take that deep look and you're like, oh, I'm not
13:35
happy. What does make me happy? And you know what, I like
13:39
doing this and I'm gonna I'm just gonna do this, and you just do
13:41
it to do it until you know something happens with it. You know,
13:46
sometimes things never happen. But also too, it's your peace of mind,
13:48
it's your happiness and you know it's something you love. And if people can't
13:52
appreciate that, then guess what you need that It lets you know who you
13:56
need in your life and who you don't. Very true, very true.
14:01
And people come when people will go and friends that take you away from doing
14:07
what you love intentionally knowing it's going to hurt that need to become acquaintances.
14:13
Exact people pushing you that into that direction and encouraging those things and helping you
14:18
do those things or making it possible for you to have the time to do
14:22
those things and still be involved with you. Those are the people that stay
14:26
your friends. And it's not like when they become acquaintances you don't ever speak
14:31
to them again. It's just they just take a lesser role in your life.
14:35
Um, because you're moving in a direction. Yeah, you know what
14:39
I'm saying, and that's the truth. And that's the truth. You know
14:43
what I'm saying. And and before we go any further, because I definitely
14:48
want I had a question, be real quick, you know what I'm saying,
14:50
so we understand it. But before we go a little too for specifically
14:56
had Oh, okay, we do that. Okay, okay, good,
15:00

16:41
Let us know. You know what I'm saying. Fill up the form
16:44
and you know what We'll get in contact to you and everyone. You will
16:47
receive the email specifically from me letting you know what needs to be done right
16:52
all right now, what the sponsors being read and all that good stuff being
16:56
said. While we're at World's Strongest Man not that long ago. The biggest
17:02
question, like I said, the biggest question you touched a little bit on
17:06
when we was getting a little deep, but it was the strongest Man of
17:10
history. Everybody. If this is not just real strongest man, this is
17:15
everywhere we go. The first question is when we're getting a second season,
17:19
when are we gonna see you on TV again? What is happening? Why
17:25
haven't we seen you again? And you know what, like I said,
17:27
he you always tell people the same thing. It's like, hey, unfortunately
17:30
you know when it happens, when it happens. But you know, Nick,
17:33
can you answer that for everybody just so we can kind of let them
17:36
know what's going on? Okay? Well, I mean the History Channels reach
17:41
out to us a couple different times, all four of us, and we
17:44
both every time they reach out to us, we're like, yes, we're
17:45
interested. We know they had the budget ready to go, we know that
17:49
they had everything they wanted us to do for season two, and the signatures
17:55
that need to go down on the paper from their executives just didn't happen.
18:00
Which it's fine, I mean, it is what it is. We still
18:03
all want to do it again. I mean clearly when we go and do
18:07
axe throwing and somehow my back gets wax with a bear palm. We want
18:18
to do this stuff together. They just got to pull the trigger. So
18:22
if you want to see it, let the History Channel though your displeasure that
18:26
there is no season two and do it to the point to where they get
18:29
sick of it. That's probably gonna be the way you can get that through
18:33
to them. The most is that you want to see it, and there's
18:36
a built in viewership for it. Like I said, we all want to
18:40
do it. We really do. We want to go up and finish off
18:45
what we started, what we were supposed to go do. In Canada,
18:47
there's we want to redo the pilot that really nobody got to see stuff like
18:55
that. And then there's like two or three different countries in Europe we're going
18:59
to go to this time to two episodes each contrary to that type of stuff.
19:03
So we want to do it. But yeah, we're waiting on the
19:07
end the bow Trader. So everyone out there, go to the History Channel.
19:11
Email everyone you need to email and let them know that you want a
19:15
second season. Because of le mutation like that was my introduction, my introduction
19:18
to Nick because like when I was first of all, we all know who
19:23
Brian is, we all know who Eddie is, we all know who Robert
19:26
is. But the thing is is like until I watched that show, and
19:29
I knew of you Nick, because I've watched World Strongest Man, I see,
19:33
like since I was a kid watching it grow up. But the thing
19:36
is is, like, you know, sometimes when you watch these shows the
19:38
way they're they just kind of just move along. But you know when you
19:41
get these large men like all you know, all three of the the guys,
19:45
My introduction to you was really at History World Strongest Man of History,
19:48
where I got to like intimately know who you were, and they brought you
19:53
in as the older gentleman, the more experienced you know what I'm saying,
20:00
and but you know, experience Trump's age every time. Wow. Yeah,
20:07
sometimes sometimes it's pretty hard to just be flat out raw talent too so mean,
20:15
but you go out there with the heart desire. I left everything there.
20:18
I mean, there wasn't one thing that I just didn't try with everything
20:23
that I am. So well that te Toss was my favorite because like you
20:27
saw that throttle get kicked up, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
20:32
that was a great That was a great episode because like cities, like I
20:36
said, the amount of like like I can only imagine how much shit talking
20:41
was really happening behind the camera because we only got a glimpse of it in
20:45
the camera. Yeah, so yeah, I mean it'd be funny. You
20:49
know, it'd be really funny. Is if they let Rob Warsoff go and
20:55
re edited everything, I would be filmed. I would love to see that
21:00
and see what his actual undirect un because he was directed to do things the
21:08
way he was the way they wanted it to. I would like to see
21:12
his flat out un directed versions and see his vision of what he really wanted
21:22
all along. Because it's funny. As those shows were, they probably be
21:26
ten times funnier because there's so much stuff that hit the floor. Oh yeah,
21:30
you know. I was always surprised there was never a DVD set of
21:33
that show. Yeah, yeah, that right there a DVD set and being
21:38
able to get it autographed by every one of you guys wouldn't even like one
21:41
of those most cherishing like I could only imagine how many people would be coming
21:45
up with you guys with a DVD set trying to get a more signatures.
21:48
There's a four there's a few of the the Picture of the Strongest Man in
21:53
History with the four of us on there, and it says there's probably forty
21:57
or fifty of these song copies around. I got one up on my wall
22:03
and I still got one extra left upstairs. Um, and I know Brian's
22:07
got a few, and Eddie's got a few, and I know Robbie's got
22:08
a few, but yeah, you know, it's kind of hard to get
22:14
us all on this. We're like getting cuts. So yeah, getting us
22:17
all on the same spot. I mean three of us were at Worlds yeah,
22:21
not the fourth, so we'll get and you guys weren't even in the
22:23
same spot because you guys are all required to do different things. So it's
22:27
like you're you're there, but you're not like literally you get like moment moments,
22:33
like literally moments because Eddie's doing TV, yeah, Brian's competing, and
22:37
you're doing meet and greets and it's like extremely difficult. Like when we were
22:41
at the Olympia last year, it was just it was you, Brian and
22:45
Robert and we like that was just a brief moment in time too, because
22:51
like as soon as all three of you guys should get the mob around us
22:53
just grew. There was already a line to see Robert, but all of
22:56
a sudden, when it's all three, just three of you guys, the
23:00
crowd was just tremendously larger. Yeah, and then all the attics start.
23:04
It's just fun. It's it's just fun. It really acts, yeah,
23:08
chist, but yeah, the chemistry between all four you guys is just unparallel
23:12
because, like I said, it definitely translated through TV and like even when
23:17
you guys do your YouTube videos together, but you all you guys gathered up
23:19
at Brian's house, it was like like I said, it was it was
23:23
almost like mimicking the shows, like we're right back where we're two should have
23:27
done picked up. Yeah, because I think it would be fun to do
23:33
some of Brian's Fiza strength oh Manu and re enact a lot of those at
23:40
his place. Actually, um, some of the crazy stuff he's managed to
23:44
do, because I mean, between him and Eddie and even Robert, you
23:49
know, we've all done some pretty nutty things. So it would be kind
23:53
of fun to do that with Brian's because yeah, I mean he's got so
23:56
many of them. Definitely, finitely. Well, you know, since you
24:00
know, we've answered that that question pretty much on the head right there.
24:03
Um, what is the next event that you that, like I said,
24:07
know the shot class is coming up. Is there anything happened before the show
24:11
class is coming up that we're going to actually be attending, uh that the
24:15
public can go to. Maybe the Fedexpo. We might go down and do
24:22
do the Fedexpo and then I'm gonna do uh talk to young boys, um
24:29
and young people at a camp here in Vegas. Nice. Um, just
24:33
about you know, not letting things, not letting things in life slow you
24:37
down. There's nothing you can call it. A little motivational speaking to help
24:40
the kids out exactly nice. You know. Actually, just coming across something,
24:45
it was I was watching the fights on Friday or Saturday for UFC,
24:48
and UFC is going to be having their uh UFC X fest where it's gonna
24:52
be fan fest at in uh for UFC. So maybe we'll make a little
24:56
appearance there and uh, you know what I'm saying, because like I said,
25:00
you're actually pretty well into the UFC and into the scene because like they've
25:03
already invited you to a couple of their shows. Yeah, and you know
25:07
what I'm saying, you know, a good, good amount of the fighters
25:10
already. I don't know if you just a few, you know, I
25:14
don't know a couple of them. That's it. Well, if UFC,
25:15
if anyone's working for UFC's listening to this podcast, understand, reach out to
25:18
us. Yeah. And I think it's owned by the same company that owns
25:25
World Strongest Man not as well, So okay, I know they're doing like
25:27
tie ins and stuff like that. Um, so that'd be kind of interesting.
25:33
Uh, it's it's it's kind of neat. My biggest thing that I'm
25:38
the most anxious for is Bella Mere to graduate college. Yeah. I cannot
25:45
wait till she graduates college because the UFC's already signed hers. So I just
25:49
can't wait to see her start fighting us. Well, we'll see, well,
25:52
we'll see how, we'll see how everyone else fares against her, because,
25:56
like I said, it just from the way you talk about and the
25:59
way that you treat right off top, you know, having someone that that's
26:03
not just coached her, but been by your side, your dad. You
26:07
know what I'm saying, that's that's that's a tremendous like backing right there.
26:11
Oh yeah, just the just the way she's grown up with her and and
26:18
Cage and then them always kind of always practicing with one another and rolling with
26:25
one another, and um, just the way that family is. I mean,
26:30
they're they're an amazing family just all the way around. And when it
26:33
comes to either wrestling or jiu jitsu, it's I don't think there's any that's
26:40
going to know any more than they do. Um right now, coming up,
26:44
I mean, Cage is playing for Bishop Gorman and playing football and they're
26:49
one of the top rank you know, high school football teams in the country,
26:52
so you know, watching him and go through his career there has been
26:57
pretty amazing as well. So it's there's a lot I'm looking forward to seeing
27:03
in the near future, just watching how they grow and prosper nd Sick.
27:07
Now for an example, you actually have a training video we posted recently,
27:11
but it did it did come out a while ago of her training strong man
27:17
and how much was she farm farmers walking two hundred and five pounds, yeah,
27:22
and how old seventeen fifty five pounds yeah, In saying she loaded it,
27:30
she loaded a two hundred and twenty five pounds stone to forty nine inches
27:33
the first time she ever did it at seventeen. So that's that's pretty serious.
27:41
Exactly. That's not an easy feat. That's that's talent. I mean
27:45
that's just freak athlete talent. And then her brother as well. I mean
27:49
he threw that thing up to sixty two inches the first time he did it
27:52
and he was fifteen. So um, they're they're definitely wants to watch.
28:00
And I think Frank's got a fight coming up fairly soon where he's gonna fight
28:03
on the same card as Bella and then he'll officially retire. I mean that's
28:07
kind that's a dream fight card right there, where you're like, I'm fighting
28:11
on the same card as my daughter and then I'm going to retire and passed
28:15
towards. Yeah, and I think that's kind of how Frank wanting to go
28:18
out and congratulations to him on that. That's that's going to be a really
28:22
special night just all the way around the watch. Yeah. I've been a
28:26
Frank Mire fan from like the like he fought Rock Lesler twice. Yeah,
28:32
you know what I'm saying like that, like you know that peak you know,
28:34
like brock Lesser. Yeah, that's that's when the guy was like could
28:40
run through a brick wall exactly exactly in saying in saying, you know,
28:47
there's a lot of things coming up and a lot of things getting ready to
28:48
happen. Um, I know the Shock Class. Like, so we've t
28:52
talking about the Shock Class and getting ready to come up. That's gonna be
28:55
pretty neat just all the way around. Um, there's gonna be more seating
28:59
this year. I think they're adding almost two thousand seats I believe maybe man
29:03
an exbo and an Expo this year. So there'll be people with boosts and
29:08
stuff like that set up, you know, people out there and then uh,
29:14
it's it's just it's just gonna be bigger and better every single year.
29:18
And then that'll be on eighty O Live for the live stream, so that'll
29:21
be kind of meat. So if you can't go, you can watch the
29:23
live stream. Um, so that'll be that would be pretty special as well.
29:29
Oh yeah, no, no, definitely gonna be special, especially after
29:32
World's Strongest Man I just would happen and where and it's like that was his
29:37
last World Strongest Man. This will be his last strong and show that he'll
29:41
ever compete in, So this is going to be really special. I know
29:45
I'll probably ball my head off when he does the last one. We'll be
29:48
right there to catch an on film. But you know that's the thing.
29:55
It's like, you know, we're you know, they're with the with the
29:59
with the shot glass coming up, and you know, I believe there's a
30:02
Giant's Live getting ready to happen in a few days. But it's like,
30:06
you know, like the season keeps moving and the talent keeps getting better,
30:11
and you know, like like being on the front lines. Like the first
30:14
year we went to World Strong Spanish Sacramento, when I first time I've been
30:17
there was with you, and I got to actually enjoy it as a spectator.
30:21
But then this time I got to on the other side of the platform
30:22
where I'm helping with social media, doing a lot of the recordings and just
30:26
you know, uh, making the content for you as you're you know,
30:30
you know, shaking hands and kissing babies. You know what I'm meaning.
30:34
I'm like, you know, um, you know, like I got a
30:37
little bit more of an appreciation for what I was actually watching because like as
30:41
a spectator, you know, I'm enjoying it, but like actually seeing history
30:45
being recorded and actually seeing history being made. It's like, oh my god,
30:49
this is insane. So I'm definitely ready for, you know, the
30:53
seasons to start hitting again. Yeah, and me too. And I'm I
30:57
always look forward to like watching Hooper compete it. It's amazing his career just
31:03
coming onto the scene and from a year ago, from a year ago literally
31:08
dominating. Yeah. So it's it's a lot of fun to watch. It's
31:14
it's neat to see and it's fun to go have conversations with him, oh
31:18
yeah, you know, and stuff like that and see what's going on in
31:22
his head. Is he's about to lift stuff, or how he plans on
31:25
lifting things and the way he analyzes things. It's it's it's it's a talent.
31:30
It's one I haven't seen for quite some time. So it's it's just
31:36
so fun to watch. That's it. Um. It was pretty special all
31:41
around. That was Mark Felix's last show. It's Brian's last World Strongest Man.
31:45
It's so both of them, that's the last time they're gonna be there
31:48
of doing that, So it was it was pretty special. I'm really glad
31:52
we went so oh yeah, and then like even to like going, we
31:56
actually got to hang out with Trey and Kevin for a little bit too.
31:59
Yeah. That was a lot of fun, you know there, and they're
32:04
both amazing competitors and it's just fun to watch them both grow and keep getting
32:10
after it. Um Trey. I think Trey has the ability to win that
32:15
show. Um someday. A couple of things need a little bit of a
32:20
little bit of improvement, but he's got everything he needs to do it.
32:22
So tools are there, tools are there. It's just and it's one of
32:28
those things where everything needs to go right on those days and like one thing
32:37
goes off and then it just it makes it very difficult to come back from
32:42
because you whoever makes the least amount of mistakes or shows up and performs events
32:47
that they didn't expect to perform in, which is what Hooper did this hair.
32:51
I mean, yea, there, he had no off performances on any
32:55
of the events. He came in, was very solid from front to back,
33:00
start to finish, from top to bottom, and he walked away with
33:04
the with the trophy. I mean, that's stake time, that's what it's
33:07
all about. And now he's the first Canadian to ever win the whole ball
33:09
of acts. So that's it. That's pretty amazing, and I see him
33:15
getting more than one. The question is how long does he want to do
33:19
it? Ye, so he's saying he wants to stick around a lot longer
33:22
when he originally planned. So that's great. I truly hope he does because
33:28
if we do, we'll see some history in the making on that one.
33:30
Because like I said, I don't see any weaknesses on the guy. There's
33:36
nothing he can't do. So with that being said, he's gonna be He's
33:42
gonna be the guy to beat for a while. That's it. So he's
33:45
already on top of the hill. He just gots to stay hungry, right,
33:47
can Evan to keep developing? Novokov, Tom Stoltman, anybody the top
33:58
ten right now? Anybody for the most part, I think in the top
34:01
ten that made the finals. Um Kuld on a great day can walk away
34:07
with the title. Now, oh yeah, no that that didn't used to
34:10
be like that. Yeah, there's three or four guys at the top that
34:14
would fight and mainly like Sojounis and Big big Z and Brian and then who's
34:22
going to be behind him? Now? It's oh my gosh, there's five
34:25
guys up here that could walk away with this. Martins will be back next
34:29
year, yep, Yeah, that goes. I definitely want to see Martins
34:31
hit the scene because, like I said, it's like he's doing what a
34:36
lot of a lot of people should be doing, and that's that's that's strategizing
34:38
his recovery to actually perform, you know what I'm yeah, yeah, and
34:45
you know, his body needed to rest. He knew it, so he
34:47
took it and he's getting healthy and he's going to come back. And he's
34:52
another one that's unbelieve you. You know, the way he tears apart events
34:58
and the way he trains from him is pretty darn amazing and almost on the
35:05
verge of kind of cutting edge because he doesn't do it the way everyone else
35:08
does. Yeah, So he's got his own ways of doing things and they
35:14
work for him, and they work unbelievably for him. So it's that's gonna
35:19
be fun to watch him come back into the next next year as well.
35:21
Yeah. I'm definitely definitely ready for the next year's season to start kicking off.
35:25
When when it starts out, because it's like, oh my god,
35:29
there's a lot of talent on the floor, and I definitely enjoy watching it,
35:32
you know what I'm saying. Yeah, And now I'm just kind of
35:37
getting to the place where I want to see what my body is still capable
35:39
of doing after this. So we'll see what happens in this powerles to meat,
35:45
the good things happening in the powerless to meat, And I'm happy,
35:49
you know, I might have to go pick my shoes up. Okay.
35:51
Well, and that's the thing too, is like even when you made that
35:53
decision, that decision was made with information that you had at that moment in
35:58
time, we actually transpiring because for everyone who's listening, Nick competed with cancer.
36:02
Nick was training with cancer. Nick True was training with broken not broken
36:07
ribs, but bruising seis barely bruise ribs, and still came in second.
36:12
Because you got to imagine if you would have been on top of your game,
36:15
no bruise, no psychological thing holding you back, that you would have
36:19
been first place right off cop Well, you know you still got to go
36:22
to it. And Mark is an unbelievably good competitor. You can't make a
36:27
mistake. Yeah, And the two of us have the same strengths, we
36:30
have the same weaknesses, and we're very evenly based. So I my goal
36:36
was I knew the only person I had to really flat out go after was
36:40
Mark and I was training for the strengths and training for the weaknesses. And
36:45
you know, you know, there is no excuse. Yeah no, at
36:50
the end of the day. But I was watching you train. I was
36:53
recording you, Traine, and god damn it, you was firing on all
36:58
cylinders, all the whips at that point, you know what I'm Yeah,
37:00
But like I said, you can say, after this powerlifting meat, we'll
37:05
Reassessa. Guess what. That's what we're allowed to do. You know what
37:09
I think. I'll just say that. I'll say this now, if a
37:14
thousand kilos go down, I will probably be at OSG. That's what I'm
37:17
talking about. That if a thousand kilos doesn't go down and it's close,
37:22
we'll see. But you know, I got to see my body's willing to
37:28
be willing to do I mean, I love doing it. I live for
37:30
it. Yeah, so I enjoy the process. So the competing is the
37:36
reward to the process. So yeah, we'll see. That's it all right.
37:42
With that said, Nick hit these people with those words they need to
37:45
hear. Well, I'm gonna fringe ts goals like that. That's cool.
