• 1:46
  weather, Nick, It's actually worn't it's probably about any degrees out here today.
• 1:51
  It's the beautiful sunny days. You can see where I'm sitting out here
• 1:53
  at the edge of the pair right the base of the first Well, just
• 1:59
  kind of really need the bay. We just had to clam charter bowls here.
• 2:01
  That was amazing. So it's a good day's family family ducation. And
• 2:08
  we've just been running ragged the last three weeks, so I want to make
• 2:12
  sure it took some time and got this done today. Nice. Oh yeah,
• 2:15
  oh yeah, you know, I actually used to live across the Huge
• 2:20
  Sound. I used to live in Burmerton, and I also live in Shelton
• 2:22
  County, So that's like not too harsh to hops giving a jump away on
• 2:24
  the ferry business Seattle many a time. So like, it's definitely a beautiful
• 2:29
  area right where you're at. Oh, it's it's gorgeous start here today,
• 2:32
  absolutely gorgeous. Yeah, we're heading out to uh uh like into business some
• 2:39
  friends and stuff and go hang out with them. Nice. We're going to
• 2:44
  trust the bars, so that's gonna be fun. Oh yeah, that that'll
• 2:46
  definitely be a lot of fun. Nick, Let's let's catch everybody up,
• 2:50
  because literally the last couple of weeks have been ridiculously heckic for you, ridiculously
• 2:55
  helpy for me. We've been doing and shooting and were courting. There are
• 3:00
  so many things that we touched base. But one of the main things I
• 3:04
  want to say before we start a trey, if you're listening to this,
• 3:07
  hey, thank you for sticking with us and doing all the content that we've
• 3:10
  created this that entire week. So you say look out for more content with
• 3:15
  Tray, Yep, there's gonna even more. So it's good stuff. Yeah,
• 3:21
  I'm still reeling from that burrito eating contests. Oh that we the video
• 3:28
  is in there. We ate a two basically five pound foot long burrito,
• 3:32
  you know what I'm saying. And it was one hell of you inhaled it,
• 3:42
  you know what I'm meaning. We all put it down though at the
• 3:45
  end of the day, Yeah, we did, we did. We all
• 3:46
  got a time so and then I didn't want to eat for the whole next
• 3:51
  day and a half. So exactly pushing the limits of pure strength. Yeah,
• 3:58
  yeah, but it's kind of crazy. You were out we were filming
• 4:01
  and just doing stuff. All week and then we got to go to the
• 4:04
  Slap so that was kind of meat you know. Yeah, so that was
• 4:12
  let do a few things too. It did, it did so cool.
• 4:16
  Coolest part about all of it was getting to meet GANA. White and then
• 4:19
  got to be on Steve Kuko's radio show, uh last night, so that
• 4:24
  was kind of cool. So just it's been busy. And then the Slap
• 4:29
  podcast as well. Yeah, Slap News, Slap News that's going there and
• 4:34
  talk about training and what I would do for for for training for Slap and
• 4:39
  kind of the rules stuff like that. But that was that was pretty neat
• 4:43
  and uh, they're like, well would you do it? I'm like,
• 4:46
  I'll do it for a million dollars, you know, But other than that,
• 4:51
  no, exactly exactly, as long as I get the I go first
• 4:56
  every single time, Yeah exactly. And for those look, I was gonna
• 5:04
  say, for those who don't know, there are a lot of actual a
• 5:08
  lot of rules to that, and we got to learn firsthand. Yeah,
• 5:13
  there's there's a lot of rules to it. And your feet can't leave the
• 5:15
  ground, so for like your heels come up on a slop um, you
• 5:19
  lose a point a ducked the point and it's a ten. It's kind of
• 5:23
  like boxing where it's a ten nine round and then uh, if you lose
• 5:29
  a point that makes it eight, so it makes it really hard. And
• 5:31
  then basically the non title fights are three rounds and the title fights are five
• 5:35
  rounds, which is kind of good because, um, the other organizations,
• 5:42
  like they had one of the guys that were champion and he had a twenty
• 5:46
  seven round fight, so they got flat twenty seven times because nobody could knock
• 5:49
  each other out. Yeah, so it's it's actually good that they live in
• 5:56
  into five for the championship rounds and three for that. So I think they're
• 6:00
  gonna clean up the sport pretty good for them, and you know, I
• 6:03
  think it's gonna be it's so much different to watch in person. I mean,
• 6:08
  yeah, it's nuts. Oh yeah, it's it's a it's a it's
• 6:10
  an appreciation that you did because it's a gimmick. It's it's something that's like
• 6:14
  outlandis to the regular people. But the thingy is his winter actually there and
• 6:17
  you see the structure and you see it going on. It is tremendously fun.
• 6:21
  Oh yeah, oh absolutely, and it's kind of neat because you're up
• 6:26
  there about four and a half feet in the air too. There's no rails
• 6:28
  in the things, so yeah, they want before they go over the hedge,
• 6:32
  you know. And that's one of the things too, is like you
• 6:34
  got to actually participate on the stage in a demo run because the collaboration between
• 6:40
  World's Strongest Man and powers Flap was there because we had Evan Evan Singleton trade
• 6:45
  mentell where it actually catchers for the super heavyweights. Yeah, so I got
• 6:50
  I got to step in and be the super heavyweight they caught. And I
• 6:54
  mean granted the guy who they had to catch was one hundred and seventy pounds.
• 7:00
  Oh yeah, he's still pretty cool. But slap for cash and he
• 7:05
  definitely got slapped for that cash. Oh he got. He got slapped and
• 7:10
  knocked out. He's not hitting smaller people, you know what I'm saying.
• 7:17
  You know, he actually has to follow the rules, and I guess what
• 7:21
  the rules were just not in his favor. No, he just couldn't get
• 7:26
  the power on the slaps. Uh. And then he was also slapping people
• 7:30
  that were closer to his side, and then yeah, it just didn't turn
• 7:33
  out too all for him. And that's it. That's it. Yeah,
• 7:36
  as like I said, it was a tremendous week, you know, just
• 7:40
  going to the power slap uh, doing all the content, uh, hanging
• 7:44
  out with Trey, hanging out with Evan um, you know, like it
• 7:47
  it was literally like a twelve hour day every single day for us, Like
• 7:51
  we were got first in the morning and man, it was just it was
• 7:56
  just one fun thing right after another. Because like I said, one thing
• 7:59
  is is uh, we actually got to spend the majority that we get dragons
• 8:03
  Layer and yeah, I can't wait to want to come back to actually see
• 8:05
  the new set up. Yeah, that's gonna be cool when he gets that
• 8:09
  room set up all the way. I can't wait. It's actually it's almost
• 8:13
  done now, so I'll probably go over there train next week when I get
• 8:16
  back. So that should be pretty cool. And it's always good team flexing
• 8:20
  those guys, so that's gonna be a lot of fun. Plus it's just
• 8:24
  me, you get that many people around you. Yeah, you know,
• 8:28
  it was one of the greatest things just saying saying go ahead. And you
• 8:33
  know one of the things, the one thing at dragons Layer that was absolutely
• 8:37
  epic is everyone's gonna remember if when you find a Vegas dragons Layer is a
• 8:41
  destination and the thing about that destination is you will run into some of the
• 8:46
  most amazing people there. Because while we were there, AW was there.
• 8:50
  We got to see the big show, we got to see Billy Gunn,
• 8:52
  Dustin Rose Um. You know, we missed a lot more of the people
• 8:56
  that were there because I definitely wish I would have seen Jeff Jarrett and I
• 9:00
  definitely wish I would have seen M Crew from AW was their training and that's
• 9:05
  just lets you know, that's yeah, And I feel bad because I kind
• 9:09
  of fan boy Dustin Rose because he really, uh was a pitotal point in
• 9:15
  my career. And most people don't realize this. I don't even think he
• 9:18
  realized it at the time, but I was my son was one and I
• 9:22
  was looking at getting into professional wrestling, and it was before I started strong
• 9:28
  Man and I had probably an hour's conversation with him at the Gold's Gym that
• 9:33
  was out there at the time, and it was it was really neat because
• 9:37
  he's like, look, man, these guys travel three hundred plus days a
• 9:41
  year, so if you got if you got a child, you're never gonna
• 9:45
  see him. And he was talking about like arn Anderson a few of the
• 9:48
  other guys, and like they have kids, they can give them the world,
• 9:50
  but the kids don't really spend a whole lot of time with them because
• 9:54
  they weren't there. They missed literally everything in their lives, and that was
• 9:56
  really important to me. So it put me back on the world of strength
• 10:01
  and then getting into the World's Strongest Man. If not, I could have
• 10:05
  went into professional wrestling back then, and you know, I wouldn't have been
• 10:09
  going to World's Strongest Man ten times, or breaking the world records and Powerless
• 10:11
  in that book and so or be on the show. So yeah, definitely
• 10:16
  very career path. Yeah, I was very appreciative of that lecture of the
• 10:20
  game. It steered me in the right direction for me, so that it
• 10:24
  was awesome. Yeah, And he was very cool, very humble, took
• 10:28
  pictures with all of us. You know, that's the one thing I love
• 10:30
  about wrestlers is the majority of the wrestlers out there, they understand just like
• 10:35
  how you are with every fan. They they do the exact same thing.
• 10:39
  They pay it for because it's like without you, guys, guess what,
• 10:41
  we wouldn't have this easy career. Yeah, nothing, So and it's really
• 10:46
  neat. So it's man, it was really special to me. And then
• 10:52
  Paul beating right there when I hit that suthing, you know what I mean,
• 10:56
  look like, what the hell? Yeah exactly exactly. He's like,
• 11:01
  I don't understand what you're doing, but okay, and then you know,
• 11:05
  and go ahead, no, no, I'm saying, uh, you know,
• 11:09
  you know, And even with the continuing of the day, we actually
• 11:11
  you guys got in a solid training day with Joe Sullivan, uh squatting mysterious
• 11:16
  weight yeah yeah, and then Joy with no knee wraps on squatting like seven
• 11:22
  like it's nothing, like it's nothing, you know what I'm saying. But
• 11:26
  even with that being said, two articles were written by Barbend by our good
• 11:31
  friend Roger Lockridge, which you know he go check out barb Yeah, go
• 11:35
  check out his go check out his article. Check I'll put a link in
• 11:39
  the note for that article. But then uh, Breaking Muscle also put out
• 11:41
  in our beautiful article about the same thing, and it's just like, you
• 11:46
  know what I'm saying, if you just having a training session makes the news,
• 11:50
  you know what I'm saying, Because that's that's the kind of stuff that
• 11:52
  you're doing. You know, it's like like I said, it's it's not
• 11:54
  it's earth shattering, but it blows my minds. Is nice because I was
• 11:58
  like, I was there, we were warding it, and it made the
• 12:01
  news. Yeah, that's it's it's pretty cool. Well they're pretty good at
• 12:05
  recording things. So thank you. Yeah, just just a little bit,
• 12:07
  just a little bit, and then without you, this doesn't happen. So
• 12:11
  thanks spend oh not worried about that. And I mean, and then I
• 12:15
  start, I started a new hobby that ended up being a hobby that pays,
• 12:20
  so, I mean, it was crazy. I went and talked to
• 12:24
  Chris at Range seven oh two and I was like, you know, I'd
• 12:26
  like to intern here because I'd like to learn everything that I can about guns,
• 12:31
  and the best way to do that is to work at a gun range.
• 12:33
  Because also they do is shoot guns. And they you know, they
• 12:37
  shoot you know, fifty cows, they shoot uh eagles or desert eagles,
• 12:43
  they shoot smith Weston five hundreds, um, the Quadzilla M fours, I
• 12:52
  mean, you name it, they got it. There's a fully suppressed MP
• 12:54
  five there. That's just like shooting candy. Oh, it's so much fun.
• 13:00
  But she's like, nah, we can't really have an intern. It's
• 13:03
  dangerous. I'd have to put you on the books. But you can come
• 13:05
  here whenever you want. I was like, sweet. So I started doing
• 13:09
  that and ended up, you know, going in there what six times already,
• 13:13
  So it's it's pretty cool. And I believe I've I've learned more about
• 13:18
  shooting guns and gun safety in the last ten days than I think I knew
• 13:24
  my whole entire life. I mean, it's it's amazing how much you realize
• 13:28
  you didn't really know until you really know. So it was it was it's
• 13:33
  just neat, you know. And and for those who know seven oh two
• 13:37
  is another destination spot in Las Vegas. People to shoot you. You get
• 13:43
  a package. You guess what, even if you go, you might get
• 13:46
  Nick there shooting with you because you know there's gonna be supervision. They're gonna
• 13:50
  walk with me. And once again, always practice gun safety, even though
• 13:54
  you might think you know it, reread go through it again, because that
• 14:00
  important. Yeah, I mean, we go through it. We do all
• 14:03
  the work. We set up the gun, we hand it to them,
• 14:07
  get them set up, get their positioning, make sure they're everything's down range.
• 14:11
  And they're on the target and stuff, and then just then when they're
• 14:13
  ready, let them shoot. So it's it's a lot of fun. I'm
• 14:18
  having a ball with that. And then you work with a great team.
• 14:20
  You have a great team all there. Like I've heard nothing of great things
• 14:24
  from you about them, just like everybody they're they're Paul, every everybody there
• 14:28
  is amazing, absolutely amazing, you know. And I'll put a link to
• 14:33
  their Instagram so you guys can check it out, because guess what, that's
• 14:35
  a team need to follow. And when you're in Vegas. Guess what,
• 14:39
  there's two days and they're not even that far from each other. Dragons Layer
• 14:41
  seventy two are actually pretty close. Yeah, they're about two miles apart.
• 14:46
  If that, if that, if that, it's right. It's literally close
• 14:50
  to the strip too. That's the great part about it because most people go
• 14:52
  want to go to the strip. Guess what not that that that far maneuver.
• 14:56
  Yeah, it's right there by Raiders Stadium, but I want to say,
• 15:00
  or by yeah stadium, Man's end. So it's pretty cool. Oh
• 15:05
  yeah, no, it's definitely cool. You know what I'm saying. Then,
• 15:07
  like I said, you and even right now, like you're on vacation,
• 15:11
  we're still getting this podcast out. Last podcast. Guess what, it
• 15:13
