  Speaker 1: This is the best experience with your hosts, Nick Best
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and the Angry Dad. You know, like I said, we're
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: gonna be going live for the majority of for basically
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: all of these podcast episodes, and then they'll just come
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: out later for those who are not part of the Patriots,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: so they'll just basically get it the day after. And
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: for those who are tuned in, just by being part
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of the Patreon, you can actually communicate it with us
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: through the comments in the video for those so we know,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: those who get that link first comment, ask us questions
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and guess what Nick will answer them. We'll go through them,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: we'll discuss them, we'll even cover topics and stuff like that.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: There's also a.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Chat page in the Patreon where you guys can actually
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: request ask questions, request topics and stuff like that. So
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you know, there's quite a bit to offer in the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Patreon for those who join. We really appreciate it and
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: all that good stuff.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we got a lot of stuff we're getting ready
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: to do. We're kicking off the Patreon's got a page
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: where we can get some things like T shirts and
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: autograph pictures, stuff like that, stickers, all that stuff will
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: be coming and then we also, at some point down
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: the line, we'll be offering some some programming as well
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: as individual programming, but that will, like me, programming individually
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: for people will be a case by case basis and
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: it will be very sports specific for that person. Okay,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: so there won't be very many of those. We're probably
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: only going to open five to start with, so the
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: first five will get in and after that we'll just
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: have a waiting list.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: But exactly, and on that waiting list to it'll always
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: be first come, first serve and for those who can
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: take you, I'm saying so.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And eventually we'll increase that probably to ten, and
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: then we'll see how that goes on how my time goes,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: because I don't want to over commit to people. I
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: want to give people, you know, I want to teach them.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I don't just want to like program you and stuff
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: like that. I want to teach you that way. I
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: want to teach you. Not to need me, but I
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: want to teach you. I want to teach you a
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: lot of the stuff I know. My philosophy is on things,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: how I do things, and why I do things to
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: a certain degree and why it's been effective for me.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Over All these years and why I've been able to
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: last as long as I have and two different, two
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: different strength sports, and you know, like high school, she's
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: junior midget, high school and college football. So I made
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: it all all the way through all that as well,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: on top of the powerlifting and on top of the
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: straw man, so.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: You know, and that's exactly it, Like that you have
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a wealth of knowledge that people can literally learn from.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, This is something that literally
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: needs to be put into a book.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: If your philosophy is your teachings, you know what I'm saying,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: how long you've for the reasons you've lasted this long,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and the techniques and the lessons and just the skill
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that you've honed over the years, because that's what a
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: lot of people want to know. Like, not very many
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: people have a long career like you have had, even
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: though you started late in the game.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Technically, yeah, technically.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I started parallating and competing in parallelating in nineteen eighty five, yep,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: so that's and then I started playing football. Geez, probably
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: nineteen nineteen eighty maybe here we go back back back
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: that far, so maybe even yeah, probably nineteen eighty is
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: maybe seventy nine, so back back then. So it's been
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: doing it in a while. And I you learn a
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: lot of things in those years on how to heal
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: and how to keep your body together. And I learned
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: a lot of stuff from heavy duty. I learned a
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: lot of stuff later turned you know, conju get stuff
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: from like some of the West five philosophies, but the
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: philosophy is not necessarily there's some of the exercises, not
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: all the exercises, but some of the philosophies work very well.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: They're just in my opinion, and you can take it
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: how you want. There there there are two. There's there's
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: too much. You gotta spread it out a little bit.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: If instead of going like a heavy heavy day and
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: a light day or a speed day during that week,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: it would be a heavy week and a speed week.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: And then I add in a kind of like a
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: central never system week, because we want to train your
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: central nervous system to keep functioning even though you've blown
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: it out. So we'll do stuff like straight in where
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: you you go into something crazy like maybe like when
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I was at my best, you know, eleven pounds block
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: poles for a set of ten and then go through
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: the whole rest of your workout after completely blowing out
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: your central nervous system. You learn how to function that
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: way and still get the most out of it. So
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: those are kind of differences between that and the west
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: side stuff that I do. But I didn't know about
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: the west side stuff till much later and then realize
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: I was doing a lot of it.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Well, I's saying, James had talked to talk to you
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: about it, so he was saying that Nick's been doing
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: conjugate without knowing what conjugate was, and like say, for decades,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: for decades, you know what I'm saying, But it lets
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: you know that, like you know, great minds think alike,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: but also too, great minds pay their own path. And
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what you did with the style of training
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you do, because like I said, I'm always with you
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: with it for a lot of the stuff that you're
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: doing and watching, and it's just like you know, like
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: it even influenced a lot of the way that I
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: train now, even for myself, because I do things a
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: specific way now because now, guess what it's doing things
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: for you to do things for me, And that's one
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: of those things that you know when you could pass
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the knowledge on because like even at this point in
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: your career, that's the one thing that you know people
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: should be doing.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. It is like, you know, for.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Those who are willing to listen, you know what I'm saying,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you can get valuable information. You know what I'm saying, Yeah,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: So and then I learned a lot of stuff from
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Ed Cohen, and I learned a lot of stuff from
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Bull Stewart and mixed all that with the stuff from
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: heavy duty. You were you're not trying to do a
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: bazilion sets. You're trying to go one to maybe three,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: but usually one or two super hard. Really just all
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: out sets and move on to the next lectis in
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: some cases one all outset and then move on to
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: the next exercise. Like when I go and do deadlift
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: for reps, it's one set of twenty to twenty five
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: reps the five hundred when I'm when I when I
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: was on the money, So it's a it's all out,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: there's nothing left when you get done, and then you
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: move on to the next exercise, and then you group
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: your exercises to work and compliment the events that you're
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: doing or the deadlift or whatever it is that you're
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: training for. You find, you know, assistant exercises to benefit
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: all of those things, and you train things in very
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: different ways than you would as if you're a bodybuilder.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: You know, bodybuilders are you know, slow control contractions, you're
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: squeezing the muscle, You're you're you're you're trying to cause
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: hat trip hypertrophy. I don't want to. You're going to
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: get bigger anyway, You're going to have hypertrophy. I'm sorry,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: it's just going to happen. Is it going to be
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: to where you look like a bodybuilder? Maybe maybe not.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: But what you are going to get is stronger and
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: faster and be able to handle tonnage and be able
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: to walk away from it in one piece. You know,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: a lot of people will comment how I do like
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: isolros and stuff like that, Oh you're using a chest
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: supported row, and you're, yeah, I'm using a chest supported
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: row because it's safer, you know, and I'm yet still
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: working speed with super heavy weights. That way, when I
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: rip a sandbag off the ground, or I rip a
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: stone off the ground or I pick up keg up
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: off the ground. I'm used to picking it up fast
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: and just haul and tail with it because you get
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: paid by winning by going faster than other people in
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: straw man, So you got to be ridiculously strong and
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: pretty quick. So it doesn't matter if you can pick
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: up a three hundred pound keg and you know, carry
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: it someplace and go pick up another one and carry
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: it back. If everybody finishes before you do, yep, goal
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: to finish before everyone else. So it's it's a couple
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: of those little things that make a big difference. And
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: then when you're coaching people, like if I'm going to
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: coach somebody and to go to a contest, I'm coaching
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: one unless they're best friends, you know that type of thing.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I like in their their training together, they're doing everything together.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Unless they're best friends I coach, I'm going to coach
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: one person. I mean, if they're best friends and their
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: best friends and they train together, they train together, so
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I can train both of them at the same time
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: not not have to worry about it, but I'm going
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: to go. The thing is a lot of these trainers
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: coaches that show up to coach them don't know how
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: to compete because they didn't compete. So there's the little
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: things that make massive differences at an elite level. You know,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: something as simple as putting liquid chalk on your stomach
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: and then putting your shirt on, and then putting chocolate
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: over your shirt when you go to do the log
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: will keep the log from slipping down your chest. If
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: they don't allow, you know, spraytack or anything else, it'll
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: make a massive, massive difference. And you know, you end
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: up being able to clean clean the log and then
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: just press it right overhead. You know, some of the
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: guys they're working with a guy that's he could pretty
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: much if he can clean it, he's going to press it.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: And he had a little small problem cleaning one of
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: his attempts and went in the back and did exactly that,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: and he was able to clean it and press it
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: like it was nothing when he got it up to
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: his shoulders. So it's little things like that that make
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: a massive difference. Anybody can program, you know, anybody can
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: you know, here here's all the lists of these things
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: that take which is kind of stupid because I mean,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: you abuse anything, you're going to really shorten greatly. Shorten
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: your career. So I mean, that's not what a sign
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: of a good coach. It's not. It's getting people to
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: do it as healthy as possible, most efficiently as possible,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: and then knowing at the competition how to adjust and
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: work the events to be successful at them. You know,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: you get guys like with these taxi problems people have
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: been having all the time, and they'll bring two different
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: types of tacky or now sometimes three, bring seven or eight,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: not one or two, Bring like seven or eight any
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: weather that shows up. You're gonna be able to stick
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: to the stone. And then the other thing you got
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: to realize is a lot of these guys put a
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: boatload a tacky on then they go out to do
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: it and they turn the stone into a like a
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: slippery grease ball. You know, they've put so much the
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: tacky that doesn't work on. They go out and you start,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: everybody's just slipping and sliding on the thing. Well, you
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: can do one or two options. Go put good taki
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: on and go do the lighter stone and get a
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: rep in, and then go pie the greased one and
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: go to the heavier one and put good tachy on
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: it again. Take your time and get one and beat
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: everybody that just messed up the grease stone. It's just
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: simple stuff, but it's it's things that really need to
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: be looked at. And even if they come out and
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: they like do stuff, or they'll spray a stone or
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: they'll clean it or whatever, you get to mess with
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: it before you go, So make sure it's right, make
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: sure you're sticking to the stone before you go. Make
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: sure they have it right. Ye. No, wait a minute,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: you just spray this and now this is slippery. You
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: need to fix this before we start. Ye. You need
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: to fix this, you know, and take your time and
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: just to throw away for him to fix it.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Don't be don't be rushed, don't feel pressure, don't feel pressure.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Just haven't fix it, because that's that's the difference between
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: you scoring you know, fourteen points and you scoring three
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: or getting a zero, and that's that's a big deal.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: That's a really really big deal. So it's little things
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: like that will make a very big difference piled up
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: over at events and that'll be the difference between first
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: and fourth place. It's just that it's just like that,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: and then you know, making sure you have your head
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: right when you're going into things, but you're not so
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: keyed up and like nervous and excited that you can't
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: function efficiently. The goal when you get out there to
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: compete is to function. You want to go out there
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: and get after it like there is no holding back.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: But you want to How did my football coach play with?
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Controlled reckless abandon? Is what my old football coach used
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: to say. You play with controlled reckless abandon. It's the
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: same thing in straw men. You go out there with
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: controlled reckless abandon. You need to go out there and
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: let it fly, but it has to be controlled. And
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: you know, getting super excited because you know everything's on
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: the line on the last event, and you start kind
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: of like you gotta stay calm, You gotta stay focused
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: and stay focused on what you got to do, and
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: you envision in your head before you go three or
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: four times what each thing's gonna look like as you're
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: picking up something and flying down and dropping it and
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: walking over to the next event as quick as you can,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: and then just bouncing and going up to the next
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: and the next and the next. You're gonna be fine.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: You're gonna be fine. I'll focus on focus on each
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: individual piece of that that you've got to go through
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: and you'll get through it, and you'll get through it quick,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: smooth as fast, very fast, smooth as fast. You know
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: you watch youo for do things. When he picks up
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: a yoke, he's smooth, he's real smooth the yoke. That's
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: why he's so fast. He's quick and he's smooth, makes
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: a big difference. But he's not right.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Well, and that's Sae too. He's very methodical. And just
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: like you're saying, get you got to have a certain
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: amount of control. You gotta have a certain amount of push.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: You got to have a certain amount of willingness to
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: just lay it on the line when it's ready to
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: lay it all on the line. That's one of those
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: things too that you know, you see because people do
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: go all out, but sometimes they go too far, you know.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Big time. There's a lot of people that do that, like,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: and you don't want to go too far. What you
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: want to do is go right up to the edge.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: You want to run the nice edge, yeah, you know,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: and just air on the side of just air on
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: the side of not quite going over the edge, air
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: on the safe side, just just a little bit and
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: at the end of the day that's gonna make that'll
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: make the difference. You know, if you if you lose
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: a quarter of a second, that's fine. You know, maybe
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: gaining a second in a quarter, and yet if you
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: mess it up, you're gonna lose four or five seconds
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: isn't worth it. So it's it's finding that balancing line
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: and knowing what you're going after as you're going and
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: having your head right and rehearsing it in your head,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: visual what you're about to do, and going in with
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: an attitude like I'm doing this and I'm going to
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: do this with focus. I'm gonna go with control, reckless
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: abandon I'm not gonna lose my mind. I'm gonna focus
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: like a laser beam instead of a shotgun. You'll see
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: a lot of people come into things and they get
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: so fired up and so excited and everything else. It's
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: like a shotgun blast going off and it goes, energy
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: goes everywhere. We want to control it to be like
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: almost like a laser beam, or to be like a
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: fifty cow going off, just strong, as hard and going
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: straight as fast as you can go. You know, you know,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: all that energy is going into one focal point. That's
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: that's how you want to get your head before you
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: go do these events. Whether it's the yoke, it's the
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: dead lift, whatever you want. You don't want your energy
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: going all out of place. You want to go in
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: directly into what you're about to do, and that's it.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: That's the only place your energy goes. Your thoughts, You
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: clear your mind, You don't think, you just that's another thing.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Don't think. Execute, Execute what you did in training, Execute
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: your practice, Execute the game changes that you have to
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: come up with. You have to be able to adjust
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: things on the fly. When you do sports like strong
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: man or pretty much any sport football guy. How many
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: offensive line and then come in with a blitz and
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: you got to adjust to that blitz? How many times
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: does that happen every freaking game? So it's being able
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: to just on the fly and still being able to
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: put all your force going in one direction. And how
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: you do that by not panicking and focusing on what
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: you're doing.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: It's almost like a style of meditation. You know what
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, You're just you know, you put yourself in
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: that position, that mindset, almost that float, that flow state
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: that you know all athletes talk about but was strong man.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: It's like a whole other aspect because you know what
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, it's you and only you.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, powers too. I mean you still about the squat bar.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: It's on your back, you know, and you got to
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: focus on what you're doing, and you got to get
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: to where you gotta give me and then you explode
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: out of the hole. You know, you control it on
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: the way down and then explode out of the hole.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: You don't want to waste a whole bunch of energy,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: you know. You know a lot of guys who go
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: down like super fast. There's people that can get away
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: with that. I'm not one of them, but there are
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: people give that. I've always been one where I kind
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: of think about it like loading a spring. I go
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: down nice and control, nice and easy. Just keep tightening
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: it up, tighten it up, get in there, and then
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: as soon as I get where I got to be,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: just explode out of the hole. You know. And yet
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: put the brakes on towards the top, so you don't
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: lose your balance at the top of the squad. So
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: it's it's just playing with controlled, reckless band that that
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: that makes a big, big difference.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And you know, going through just that that
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: that whole time. You know what I'm saying, It's it's
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: letting you know like how much it actually takes to
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: push yourself to that level, you know what I'm saying.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing too, is like one of the
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: aspects that you even see too, is like you know,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: with the Strongest Man on Earth, Tom, you know, basically yeah,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly what it was, but I remember
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: us kind of talking about we maybe blew a blood
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: vessel and in his in his bicep or his triceps
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: on because the whole thing.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Is black and blue exactly.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: And with it being black and blue, it's like, you know,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: do you keep pushing forward knowing that you have an
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: injury or it doesn't hurt, it's only changing color, what
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: you know, and you know, you know, it's one of
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: those things that you know, do you keep pushing forward
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: to keep going? Cause I know how many times you said,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: you know, like when you're at World, when you're at
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: World's Strongest Man and you've competed and you've hurt yourself,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: you need to still go out there.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. It's it's one of those
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: things you know, it still cubmits you in there.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: It's a super Bowl. You got to go out and
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: just let it fly. I mean, it's you never know
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: when you're gonna get back there again. You know. It's
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: the same thing with the TV show. When we did that,
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: I skipped Worlds that year. I skipped trying to qualify.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: I skipped everything. I just focused on trying to have
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: my body prepared for that show and the events that
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: were coming up the next week. And you know, it
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: was worth it to me because that's always there. Now,
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: everybody will be able to watch that. You know, I'll
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: be ninety years old and people still be able to
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: watch it. You know, it's it's never going to change.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: So it's kind of one of those things where if
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: you get a chance to go to Worlds, you go
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: to Worlds. I've seen guys like get a small injury
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: or oh this has kind of bothering me, and you
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: know they're like, well and they pull out. It's like,
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: but you've never even competed in the World's Strongest Man.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Yet you're qualified. You're here, you got on a plane.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: It came. If you don't go do the contest, history
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: will not show you as the World's Strongest Man competitor.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: You're a strong man competitor, but not a World Strongest
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Man competitor. It's the same for you show the Strongest
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Man on Earth, the Road Classic, the Arnold, it's the
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: same thing. You know, it's game day. You go and
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: do it period as best you can. You don't want
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: to get hurt any worse, you know, so get with
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: your doctor and figure that out. But if you're there
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: and you're you got to soret bicep that may be
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: partially torn and you can't hurt it any worse. History
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: is going to show you're a World's Strongest Man competitor. Yep.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: It's always going to be there. It's never going anywhere.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Just like no matter what, for the rest of Evan
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Singleton's life, no matter what, he will be the strongest
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: man on Earth in twenty twenty five. No one's ever
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: going to be able to take that away from him.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: And that's the biggest thing about when you win something.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Just like Eddie Hall will always be the twenty seventeen
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: World Strongest Man, No Brian Shaw will always be a
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: four time World Strongest Man and the strongest man on Earth.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: There's and they are a Classics strong man champion. There's
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: once you get it and nobody can ever take it away.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: So if you have an opportunity to get there and
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: show that you were a world strongest man, only thirty
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: guys get to do that a year. I think it's
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: down to twenty five. Now, Yeah, that's it, that's it.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: I'm a whole entire planet. Out of the eight billion
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: people that are walking around, twenty five get earn the
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: right to go in there and do that. You're always
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: if you have an opportunity to be part of history,
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: you always take that.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Always, always take this always. Yeah.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: See, And like I said, I've heard you say numerous
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: times because you've had conversations with people and they let
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: it slip through the fingers and it's like, oh, you
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It's like, you know, that's the
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: name of the game. And also too, that comes with
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the experience that you have because you know, you know,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: well that.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: One And the craziest thing is that was and Magnets
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: for Magnus And yeah, and he was talking to Misha
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Kukleev because he heard his he heard his arm pretty
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: bad going. Uh. I think we were in China, and
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: he heard his arm pretty bad and he was going
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: to withdraw because he made it to the finals. Yeah,
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: he made it through the qualifying heat, but his arm
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: is really messed up. And Magnus walks over to him.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: He goes, you want that to say world strongest man finalist,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: You'll be in the top ten in the world, no
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: matter what. If you don't do that, you won't be
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: in the top ten. Yep, and me should listened. And
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: he went in. He did the best he could. He
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: didn't get hurt any worse, but he went in and
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: did the best he could and made the finals that year,
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: which is pretty cool. It will always show him the
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: world's strongest man finalists for that year. That that's history.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: It's never going to.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Change set in stone. You know, Yeah, you know, And

• 27:35
  Speaker 3: so much in this world that is just brutal and mean,
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: and you know, be the good person about it. You know,
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: don't let people hurt you or your loved ones, but
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: always be the don't get walked over, but be the
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: higher road. Take the higher road, you know, and be
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: the best to you. Success. Success is the best form
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: of revenge you can ever have. On anybody is to
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: enjoy your life and live your life to the fullest,
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: and that success will say all it needs to say.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: You don't have to do anything to get to get
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: even with anyone or anything else. Just live your life
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: and be successful and that'll carry everything through everywhere that
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: you that'll say far more than your words could ever say.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Your actions will always your actions at the end of
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: the day, will always speak more than your words and
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: things that you say, you know, and that's so, you know,
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: be a person of action. You know, have good.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Actions, follow through what you say, fall through.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: With what you follow through with what you say, and
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: be a man of your word. But it's the actions
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: that actually speak louder than the words do.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so we got that, oh yeah, oh yeah,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: And even with that too, it's like, you know, say,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: you've had so many things going on in life right now.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: You're getting pulled in every direction, and yet you still wonderful. Yeah,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: it's you know.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing too, is like you're still maintaining
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: your nutrition, you're still maintaining your your training, and like
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I said, it's a cornerstone of who you are. And
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: that's the thing too, is a lot of people don't
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: understand what that cornerstone is in their life. You know
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, something that they can lean on themselves,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: that is there for them. You know, everyone has different hobbies,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: everyone has different nations, but you know what I'm saying,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: it's like just understanding just the core foundation of believing
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: yourself and doing what you want with your life.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: M Yeah, And you know if if you want more
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: from your life, it's not someone else's fault, but you're
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: not doing something. If your life is bad, change it.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: It's not it's not gonna be something that's instant and overnight.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: It's not just going to happen like that it can.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: But those people are the one in the one in
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: like two hundred million. You know, it's very rare. But
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: the slow, methodical changes that lead you to a better
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: place over time, those those anyone can do, and those
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: are could be the ones that last and get you
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: to where you need to be. So if your life's
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: not going well, sit down and think of how you
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: can make it better. If you're you don't have a
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: good job and you're living in a bad place, Okay, cool,
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: what are you willing to sacrifice? Two do better. Are
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: you willing to sacrifice free time so that you can
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: go to a job, work enough to keep a roof
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: over your head, and then go study at like a trade.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Go learn how to weld. You don't have anybody can
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: weld men women anyone can. Well, it's a very needed
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: skill right now, you know, go learn how to welk.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Go learn how to be a plumber. The trades. Now
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: you can go, you know, be an apprentice. There's things
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: that you can do, and it's going to require some sacrifice.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: Me getting big and strong didn't happen overnight. I didn't
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: even get like a lot of the claim or anything
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: else for it until I was about thirty five years
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: into it. Let that sink in. I mean, I'd already
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: done a whole bunch of things. I've already done World
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Strongest Man, and I've already like several times at that point,
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: I'd already won Master's, World Strongest Man, World power Lessing Champion.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: But all the things finally started paying off at like
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: thirty five years in. But it was what I love
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: to do, and it was good habits and good things.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: And you know what, now I get to do what
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: I love every single day. You can do that too.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Anyone else can do that. Anybody can do that, and
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: exactly find something you like to do, find something you
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: love to do, and try to figure out a way
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: to make a living at it. And if you're in
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: a bad situation, figure out a good way out of it.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: What are you willing to sacrifice? Because the easy road
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: is doing something you know, the easy road and in
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: the end really isn't going to be that rewarding. To
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: be quite honest with you, it's it's not. I mean,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: you get people out there that they'll find quick get
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: rich quick, get rich quick schemes and stuff like that,
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: that somebody messes somebody over, then there's all the bad
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: karma from that. There's all kinds of things. But if
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: you go and work one job and then go learn
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: another one, that's going to pay you a lot more
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: money when you get out of it. You spend five
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: years of your life through that, just five you're the
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: whole entire rest of your life. The other sixty years
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: of your life will be a thousand times better, and that,
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: at the end of the day is what matters. You
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: can better take care of your loved ones, You can
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: better take care of your wife, your kids, you know,
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: just everybody, and take better care of yourself and then
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: you'll have a much better self image of yourself and
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: you'll have earned it. Nobody gave it to you. You
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: got it. And there's nothing to stop anybody from doing
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: these things. Nothing like literally nothing. It's just the sacrifice
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: of doing one job and then spending a little bit
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: of your time doing that. So okay, So maybe you
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: don't go out with your friends that much for five years.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: If they're still your friends, they're still going to be
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: your friends, yep, even after that, because that's what friends are.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: If you have to see them all the time or
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: they won't talk to you, that's not a friend. That's
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: an acquaintance, yep. That is relying on you for how
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: they fit. Friend friends you cannot a friend. I got
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: friends Orsam Kenny Ajo. I don't talk to him nearly
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: as much as I should and Anthony back. These guys
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: I've known thirty forty years, and I can call them
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: on the phone at any given time and it's like
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: I just talked to them yesterday, the same feeling, the
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: same everything. When I talk to those guys are friends.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: If I need them, they call they'll be there same.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: If they need me, alls they have to do is
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: call I'll drop what I'm doing go help them. Ben
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: can call me and say hey, I need this. I'm
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: going to be there in like two seconds, exactly right.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: But if I need to go do something to be
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: successful at something and I'm too busy to talk to
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: them for a while, they don't get upset. They don't
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: turn their back on me because all of a sudden,
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: I'm busy trying to better myself and it's not the
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: direction they're going in. They don't do that.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: That's what a friend is, you know.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: It's that's the truth.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: It's good stuff, and it is good stuff. Sacrificing your
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: time to better yourself from a bad situation, and we'll
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: make all the difference in your life. And if you're
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: your single parent, you're going through that. I mean. I
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: was a single parent with my son Dylan for six
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: years and I started working in the beer business. I
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: went from merchandiser to salesman to company trainer to supervisor
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: within a very short time, like three years. And then
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: I was a supervisor for one company for ten years
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: and at the other one for four, so it's and
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: I went out and worked my tail off and I
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: did that, and I sacrificed, and I still trained, I
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: still got things i'd done I needed to. I still
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: spend time with Dyan, but I sacrificed hanging out with
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: a lot of my friends and a lot of other people,
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: and it paid off. So it's something that everyone can do.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: You just have to be determined enough to do it,
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: and you have to want to do it bad enough
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: that that's the thing. Look at the person in the mirror,
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: because that person in the mirror is the only person
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: that can save you. That person in the mirror can
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: either be the cause of all your problems or the
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: savior of all your problems. It's that simple. You don't
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: have to rely on anyone else to do that. It's
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: just deciding what you want to be and doing doing
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: that at the end of the day, because in this
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: day and age, everybody has the ability to do anything.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: You just gotta want to go do it, that's all.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: And if you start a little behind somebody else, who cares.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Who cares where you're starting? You know, My first bench
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: press was ninety five pounds. My best bench press ever
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: was six thirty five. Didn't matter where I started, matter
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: where I got to. My best best person of competition
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: was five sixty seven. So doesn't matter where you started,
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: it matters where you go. It doesn't matter if it
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: takes you twenty years to get there, because once you
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: get there, you get to stay there. So you don't
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: want to be there anymore till you decide you want
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: to do something else, and then it's up to you.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: You get to pick and choose what you want to do.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: And that's pretty cool, and that's the freedom that it brings.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: And that's the big thing, that's having the freedom to
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: enjoy your life. I'm not interested in being a millionaire,
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: and if I get to be a millionaire, great. I'm
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: interested in being able to do what I want to
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: do in life and go to the places I want
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: to go and hang out with the people I want
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: to hang out with, like that guy, and enjoy life.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: You know, if my kids are healthy, and they are,
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: my kids are well educated, and they are, they're both
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: being very sick. They're both enjoying their lives and being successful.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: You know, when you have kids, you raise you know,
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: you raise them. You should raise better people than.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: You were, and you have because your kids are great,
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: And Cali helped a lot with that too, so and
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: so do Rain. So I mean it's but it starts
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: with you, and you're the role model for them. And
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: do you want them to be that way or do
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: you want them to be better than you? If you
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: want them to be better with you, and you should,
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: then you sacrifice for them and you teach them. Doesn't
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: mean you cater to every whim they need. They cry,
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: oh they don't have this stereo. Well guess what exactly
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: the difference between enabling and teaching and discipline. So, I mean,
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: you don't want to be such a disciplinarian that, you know,
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: you make them feel bad about themselves. But they have
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: they have to have steady and gentle discipline. They have
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: to have boundaries. Yeah, and you set those boundaries and
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: they go past the boundaries. They learn repercussions. That's how
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: when they get become adults and they disobey the law,
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: that's how they don't get arrested.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, functional kids of society, you know what I'm saying.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: You know, just ask Tyreek Hill here. Let me drive
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: one hundred miles an hour through a construction zone next
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: to the stadium and then get pulled over and have
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: an attitude problem with the police.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like wrong, that's his parents' fault.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: If he had, if his father was actually a good
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: father to him, he would know he was out of line. Yep,
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: he would know that's unacceptable. And his mother the same way.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: That's bad parenting. That just the kid was a star
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: and they didn't keep him grounded. I can tell you
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: whose parents. I can tell you I know some very
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: good parents whose kids don't do that. Frank Mayor, Frankie,
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: Jenny Mayor, Bella's outstanding. Cage is outstanding, Ronan's outstanding. They're
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: great kids, they really are, and that's a credit to them,
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: you know. So it's you know, it's it's it's the
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: boundaries that you set from. It's the love that you
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: give him.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: And as they grow up, they'll make the right decisions.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: They might make some steaks and that's the thing. You like, Okay,
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: well we did this that way. That didn't work, And
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: this is why I tell you, so let's let's not
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: do that anymore.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's it.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: That's your mulligan. But love and you know, and They're
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: not a burden. They're the best thing you can ever do,
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: exactly because you know, their success is your success.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: That's it, big time, big time. You know, I got
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: I have four kids, and you know, Nick's met all
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: my kids. Uh, and you know, like my oldest is
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: living his life, doing his thing, and you know it's uh,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: you know, he calls me at least twice a month
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: just to check on, check in on me, you know what.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: He's making sure that I'm okay.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, he's doing good himself, you know
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And you know, all my kids, almost
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: all my kids are in college and they're you know,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: they're all just living their lives doing everything. My youngest

• 42:05
  Speaker 1: because just like you said, it's all you know, like

• 42:10
  Speaker 1: all my kids have grown, it's like they are ten
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: times better people than I ever was. And that's exactly
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: just like you said, that's exactly what you want.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: I know. I couldn't be more proud of mine. You know,

  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: So if I'm traveling or doing something, I mean, could
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: be more part of them. I really couldn't.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, very well.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: You know, let's let's shift gears a little bit. You
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, before we before I start making
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: you get you start crying. You say, you do get emotional.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: I know, but exactly exactly. But let's switch a little
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: bit into you know, Nick eats uh basically the vertical
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: diet style, just a slight tweak. And you know a
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: lot of people always ask and it'll always be a
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: question is like that, Like they're like, what do you
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: eat to fuel you? You know what I'm saying, and
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: just get give them the basic rundown because you know
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: you you live a very simple life with a very
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: simple bat Because when I stay with you, you know
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We we we don't eat exactly the same,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: but I don't mind eating the way you do.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's pretty simple. I I I've cut
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: from three pounds of red meat today to two pounds
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: of red meat. And then I'll throw another optional protein
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: in there, whether it's pound of chicken or a pound
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: of salmon, or you know, tuna fish or whatever, like
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: a couple of cans of tuna fish, or some cottage cheese,
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: non fact cotta cheese, that type of stuff. And then
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: it's all white rice for my carbohydrates. Sometimes there's some
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: potatoes thrown in there because you can have those too,
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: but it's mostly white rice. Chicken stock. Put that in
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: there to help with digestion and stuff like that. And
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: then a few of the vegetables thrown in, like bell
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: peppers and carrots and a little bit of spinach, stuff
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: like that. Good eggs probably eight eggs a day, which
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: isn't too much. It's not a lot, but it's not
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: a little. Yeah, probably about eight eggs a day, which
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: the yolks have a lot of benefits to you. They
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: help a lot of stuff in your brain because your
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: brain's mostly cholesterol.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: So don't you hit that. Cholesterol is not bad, No,
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: it is not bad.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: It also drives all your hormones in your body. So
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: you have cholesterol that's too low, those won't work right. Yes,
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: so you want to be eating some you don't want
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: four hundred, but you you you don't want to avoid
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: it like the plague. You just don't want to, you know,
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: overdo it, that's all, you know. A little moderation goes
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: a long way, so and then a busy, active lifestyle
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: stuff like that keeps that number down naturally anyway. Yeah,
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: so I'll have a little bit of sweet tune there,
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: but not very often. You know. We'll go when Bank
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: comes town, we'll go film some videos and that's when
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: I'll get the majority of like dessert.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: E don't the hot spots, you know what I'm saying.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: The Vegas life.
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of like the the Cheesell tacos stuff like
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: that was a made exactly. Would that be something I
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: eat all the time? No, but every once while. Men,
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: they're delicious. It's a nice cheat thing to maybe eat
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: like once a month or something. But that's not something
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go there and eat all the time. Exactly,
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: but you know, picking decent restaurants, go get a decent
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: meal in like going to hibachi girls and stuff like
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: that where they make the rice and they mix eggs
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: in with the rice and stuff, and you know, steak
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: and chicken and if you like the shrimp and stuff,
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: throw that into you know, stuff like eating good solid food.
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: I try to eat as little processed food as possible.
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: I don't eat a lot of chips. I don't eat
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: a lot of other stuff. I really don't. I stick
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: to a very basic diet. I mean, I spice it
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: up with pepper, you know, with you know, like cayenne pepper,
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: stuff like that, and seasoning like flavors, stuff like that.
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: But you know, it's not bland food. It's just and
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: I'll make it a little different every day. Like one day,
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: I'll use taco, next day I'll use as you sauce.
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: The next day I'll throw like non fat cats cheese
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: and with it to make it creamy tasting stuff like that.
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: There's so many different variations that you can do, and
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: yet you still eat food that's like really solidly good
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: for you. It's not processed. Body assimulates it way way
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: better and you feel better, you know, way better.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: And what he's talking about people is whole food.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: People have a misconception of what whole food means. There's
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: like I got to shop at whole foods to store.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: There's like no whole foods are single ingreedy items.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: And with those single and greedy.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: Items, we're talking about beef, chicken rice, you know what
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. You know, like if it has a laundry
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: list of ingredients to make it, then unfortunately that's a
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: whole food. And then you know, you can also combine
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: whole together. Yeah, exactly, you know, like you know, and
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: it you know, there there's a lot of work. There's
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of paperwork on you know, like you know,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: like when we're talking about is the closest thing that
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: how Nick eats is the stanand for dein style of
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: the vertical dick. And yeah, and one of the things too,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: I find by eating in that vertical dick. It's definitely
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: helped me with a lot of issues that I've always
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: had because a lot of people have bloating, they don't
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: feel good. You know what I'm saying, It's all due
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: to like, yes, you know what I'm saying, And it's
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: all to do to poor digestion because you're jamming yourself
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: full of food that doesn't burn well.
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. And I mean there's things that you do
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: to gain weight when you want to gain weight, there's
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: things that you do to lose weight, like losing weights.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: It's pretty simple. Just eat a little bit less and
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: keep doing all the things that you're doing. Now you're
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: gonna lose weight. It's not rocket science. Just cut cut down,
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: Like start by cutting down one hundred colors a day,
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: than two hundred dollars a day, then maybe three, and
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: by the time you get to three and four one
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: hundred calories a day that you've cut down, you should
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: be dropping significance amounts of weight. And then you'll hit it.
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: Then you'll hit a play and then you ride the
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: plateau out.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: That's it, And yeah, go ahead, Oh no, I'll say.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: It's like when we had left The Strongest Man on Earth,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: I had told you that I was going to drop
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: down myself because I'm on my weight loss journey, you know,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: due to health issues, I really need to come down
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: in the weight and I usually love to stay in
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: the three hundred pounds range. And when I mean, say
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: three hundred plus.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest guy, but I'm a pretty tall guy.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: But like, yeah, and when I had talked to Nick
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: last Yeah, when I had talked to Nick, I was
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: down to three seventeen at world. So this is about
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: two almost two weeks now. I was down three seventeen
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: when I saw you. Now when I waived myself yesterday
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: three eleven, so I was telling you I was wanting
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: to get down about ten more pounds, you know what
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. So like it's slowly getting there, but just
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: like you said, it's bringing down the calories, continuing what
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: you do, you know what I'm saying. And also too,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: it's like it doesn't have to happen overnight, even though
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: we all want it to.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then there's reasonable expectations when it comes to
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: that as well. At first you're gonna lose weight pretty quick.
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: It's going to come off pretty quick, and then you
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: can like slam right into a wall. The thing is
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: is when you slam it into that wall, four pounds
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: a month is plenty, because twelve months ago by that's
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: forty eight pounds that's a lot yep. And if it
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: took you a long time to get that big, losing
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: weight at a at a slower rate is a good thing.
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: Your body will adapt to it, Your skin and dive
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: to it. Things adapt to it a little bit better,
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: and it ends up being a lot less taxing on
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: your body. Fast, super fast weight loss over short periods
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: of time cause a lot of problems too. You know internally,
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: it'll it can cause heart problems. There's a lot of
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: stuff it can do if you're pushing that hard and
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: losing weight that fast, because it's going to be traumatic
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: experience for your body. But slow and methodical, you know,
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: three to four pounds a month, once you've had an
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: initial good thirty forty pounds weight loss, you know, even
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: two pounds a month, you're gonna be twenty four pounds lighter.
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: You do that three years in a row, you could
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: be seventy two pounds lighter. That's a whole different person
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: right there. Yes, it's the slow and methodical stuff. It's
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: building things over time. When we get in a rush
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: and we try to build too fast or shrink too fast,
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: you're always gonna there's always gonna be consequences to pay,
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: and there's always problems that come with that. So but
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: if you do it slowly, methodically, you have almost no problems.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: It's just nice and easy, and you pay attention to
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: things and you live discipline, and you do those same
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: things every day with the same enthusiasm is you did
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: the first day, you did it, and as long as
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: you keep doing that, you're gonna be successful. It's but
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: when you go, oh, doing this again, going in with
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: a good attitude, yeah, just get up and have a
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: good attitude when you get after it. You don't have
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: to be bouncing off the walls. Yay, no, No. A
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: good attitude is just you come in with a positive
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: mindset and you're like, okay, here's what I'm doing to do,
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: and just go about yourself. It's just not it's just
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: not being you know, down on the dumps and upset
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: about it all the time. So that's all. You don't
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: have to be like yay, yeah, no the highs and
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: low you know this is not good.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is not.
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: Much time is what's good. So just smooth, smooth as
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: fast there it is, smooth out of control, and then
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: you build a little bit of the time it's the
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: same with same with anything and strength gains. If you
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: put one hundred pounds on your total IMpower thing a year,
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: one hundred pounds on your total ear so say your
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: total in nine hundred pounds. If you put one hundred
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: pounds on your toe year for ten years, that's a
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: thousand pounds. That's a lot. That gets you up to
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: a nineteen hundred pound total. That's world class. That's that's
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: world class. You do that two or three more years,
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: you're elite, world class, and you're probably world champion at
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: that point.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: That's it. Yeah, that's it.
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: And it's just slow and methodical over time, doing the
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: same things and being disciplined about it, and being disciplined
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: about your eating, being disciplined about what you put in
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: your body, you know, and how you spend your time
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: and stuff like that. And sacrificing things doesn't mean it's
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: not a good thing because the sacrifice leads to I mean,
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: I've got to travel the whole entire planet because of this.
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: That's not a sacrifice to me. I still got to
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: spend a lot of time with my kids. I still
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: got to do a lot of things. That's not sacrificing.
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: You know, I just decided it was more important to
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: be doing the things I need to do to get
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: me to be able to travel the world and compete
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: and strong man and do those things than it was
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: to be out in a bar drinking, or be out
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: in a club, be in a VIP area, yeah, and
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: dropping watching fools drop, you know, twenty thirty forty thousand
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: dollars on bottle service and a VIP table. Yeah. When
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: that's that's stuff you could put it into a house
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: or just your life to make your life easier, your
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: kid's life easier, stuff like that. Instead of looking like
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: a big shot, you're going to be a big shot anyway.
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: That's the thing. Don't worry about it. If you're doing
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: what you're supposed to do, you don't have to worry
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: about the impression that you give off. It will just
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: be there and it'll get the attention it deserves. It
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: just takes a little while. Then once you get it,
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: you'll always have it. That I like. Yeah, and that's
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: kind of the thing about life. I mean, it's it's
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: a good life, but always try to improve, always try
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: to move forwards. You know you're gonna have things. That's
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: such a back. It's life. It is doesn't mean you
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: stop as it does. This mean you recalibrate where you
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: are and then you find your new best to you
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: and you can chart continually every day try to be
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: better than that for the next day. That's it. It's
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: just about being the best to you at the end
