  Speaker 4: be in.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: So if those listening kind of where you at and
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: what's going on around you?
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: Oh man, well, how did you? I assume you saw
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: me out in Vegas? Say it right?
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: So I didn't see you in Vegas. I saw you
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: through your wife's Instagram and I was like, oh this
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: guy interesting. I'd like to stop in.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah cool right now. Yeah, she's a she's my superstar.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Well, I guess for those that don't know, tell us
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: who your wife is. You have a connection to the
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: pro wrestling world.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: Yes, we're both well, I mean she's been involved in
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: it a long time. She's she is the current ring
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: announcer for a w which is pretty awesome. And back
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: in the day, she had a tryout with WWE when
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: like NXT was getting started, and she's done some training
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: down in Tijuana with like Luc Libery Wrestling, and she
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: was a valet. We have a local uh promotion right bias.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: They're called SoCal Pro. Yeah, they're out here San Diego,
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: and so it's like honestly ten minutes down the road
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: from us, and she trained there. I've trained there, she
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: I mean, she was doing the wrestling. That's what she
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: originally wanted to do. And she would be able to
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: tell you this all better than I can, but I've
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: been through it, so I remember it all. But essentially,
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: you know, wrestling is a brutal, brutal business.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Not just the travel and the but just everything that
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: goes into it.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: And so yeah, she took a couple of bumps that unfortunately,
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: you know, changed her mind. We'll just say about about
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: being a wrestler. However, she is a hustler, and so
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: she kept going with it. She wanted to be involved
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: with it, so she started doing like you know, valet
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: work and then interviewing backstage interviews for a couple of
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: different local promotions and then, like I said, she got
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: into the ring announcing, and when that happened, she was
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: able to reach out to a couple of the coaches
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: that she met when she did her WW tryout, who
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: are now with AEW And they were like, yeah, shoot over,
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: you know, whatever you got whatever real footage or footage
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: you got of you doing it, and she did. And
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: then literally like two weeks later, maybe maybe just a week,
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: they flew her out and she did like a tryout
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: with them, and she.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Came home, you know, and she sounded confident.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: But then she got a call and they flew her
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: out again for the second week, and then she did
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: a couple more dark matches and then after that they
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: hired her. So it's pretty cool because now she's going
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: on three years. She just signed another contract with them.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: So I'm proud of her.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: That girl has, like I said, she has major determination
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: in anything that she does. And you know, even then
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: injury or something like that just didn't set her back
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: at all. And I honestly, I think it put her
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: in the right spot because she's tough, but again, talking
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: and hanging out with some of the wrestlers and just
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: like God, I remember we were down a Tijuana and
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: we were at the they have the big like domed
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: arena there, right, and she was on the card, like
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: I said, as a valet, and we were sharing the
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: locker room with Raymastereo. Oh wow, yeah, pretty cool and
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: like Brian Cage was there with us, Say, Carlito, Carlito
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: was in there.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Anyways, it was cool.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: It was funny though, kind of reminded me of like,
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: are you a Star Wars fan?
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, of course of course.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: So you know how Yoda walks around with his cane
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden turns out the lightsaber
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: and it's like, you know, all over the place. That's
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: when raymister is like, man, you watch him get ready
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: in the locker room and he's putting on all this
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: gear and everything and he's kind of kind of hobbling
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: around or just taking it slow, and then he gets
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: in the ring and it's just nine thousand miles of
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: a minute, you know, and just all over the ropes
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: and he's amazing, you know. And then after the match,
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: back to that came you know, just kind of walking
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: around very gingerly. So it was it was an eye
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: opener to see some of that back in the day
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: and experienced that with her. And again, like I said,
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: she's tough, but I'm kind of glad that she does
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: the announcing now because man, you know I played I
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: played football for like twenty six years and you know
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: I still feel some my injuries to this day.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm glad she hopefully won't have to go through that.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen her when they did the residency here
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: in Arlington. She did the residence, she did like the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Collision Residency, and I was like, she's doing great.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: I love her.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I think Justin Roberts is fine, but I think she
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: adds a little something extra to it that Justin just can't.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I think she's doing a fantastic John.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: They're a good contrast. I actually, I mean I really
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: like Justin man.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Justin I will say he he is relutely kind, took
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: her under his wing and helped her out with a
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: lot of suspend great. You know, he's really, like I said,
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: giving her some tips and winners. And I mean they
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: talk every week about the shows and stuff and how
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: how things go, which I mean that's great because yes,
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: in the watching her in the beginning how much as
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: you know, progressed or changed, you know, and it's it's
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: pretty awesome. I mean, even just to where she'll probably
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: be in another year or two. I'm looking forward to it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: And like I said, Justin has his voice, which you know,
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: Justin has been around for a long.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Time, so yeah, he has that, you know, and.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: She's still finding hers in my opinion, you know, like
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: I go, I don't even who even knows where she'll
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: be in five years, you know, but I agree, I mean,
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: I oh, sorry, I think they have a great though,
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: you know, like w W has their their girls who
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: are amazing and their guy forget his name.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I know Alicia Taylor's great.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, at lash Taylor is great, and Arcady knows her stuff,
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: and you know, she's talked to her and stuff. And
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: then obviously Ricochet, his wife is now she she'll come
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: to the shows at aw obviously, and I know Arcady
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: and her have talked and she talked about having an amazing,
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: powerful voice, you know, she has an ad voice. But yeah,
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: I feel like WWE, you know, hit their people and
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: they've kind of stuck with them. I think they're still
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: trying to figure out, you know, SmackDown maybe, but it
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: seems like he's done a fairly good job with it.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: But they treated a little differently, you know too than
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: how aw does it you know, as far as ADW
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: still does a lot of in ring work for their
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: announcers and everything, whereas wwe most of it's from the table,
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: you know, so they're not seeing a whole lot, which
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: you know, I know, if I was Arcady my wife,
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: I'd want to be on TV as.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Much as possible, So good for her. Yeah, and justin too.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: You know, they still do the old introlls and stuff
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: like that, which are pretty awesome.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And what's funny is like people don't realize unless
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: they've been to a live show. But it's not just
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: what you're seeing on the TV. About introducing the people.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: You literally have to make sure everyone's like still hyped
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: up during the commercials and like do the little things
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: have been like all right, say stay here after this
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: because this is going to happen, or you know, we
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: have got to Yeah as a ringing after who does it?
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I do it in Arkansas and I think, yeah, I'm like, oh,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: fingers crossed that Spacktown guy doesn't work out because maybe
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I'll take a spot. But there you go, there you
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: go out in the universe. But you know, it's it's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: not just the ring announcing part. It's like, especially at
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: aw shows, you got to do all of it.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: I agree, In fact, I have a feeling she would
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: probably tell you that the ring announcing part is the
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: easy part, you know, even though it wears you down
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: and your voice down. But you know, having somebody in
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: your ear telling you when to hype the crowd, when
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: to do this what you know, say this or do this,
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: you know, give away a T shirt, you know, and
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: you've got to come up with it on the fly
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: what you're saying. And then you know, you got to find,
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: you know, twenty different ways is to get that crowd up,
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: because you can't say the same thing every time, you know,
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: otherwise it's just pointless and people will get bored. And
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: then sometimes you know, they do back to back tapings,
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: which is crazy because then the crowd's been there for
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: a long time. So you've got to be able to
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: keep them up all the way through the you know,
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: the last hour of four hour taping or something that's
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: you know, that's the work right there.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: I like I said, man, I.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Am incredibly proud to give her a ton of credit
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: for everything that she is doing and what she's done
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: even just up to this point. So she's gonna do great,
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: you know. And she's she has such a good personality.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: She's friends with you know, a lot of the girls backstage.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: In fact, earlier she was on a stream with Anna
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: and Julia and she said it was a lot of fun,
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: which Anna like streams on Twitch or you know, plays
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: games and stuff, and so you know that's cool.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Like I said, she she just she's a good girl. Man.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: She just knows how to, like I said, be.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: There for the company, be there for her friends, do
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: her uh, you know, all the things I think you'd
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: want a good employee.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: Well, so if anybody's leave listening, you're out there, be
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: a good employee. Try and help push the company to
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: make it better and things will probably work out good
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: for you exactly.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, try to make it better than what you came into.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: And Tony does seem like he is very behind loyalty,
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: you know, like he likes the people that you know
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: are obviously behind the company and what what the vision
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: is there, you know, and it's definitely different than WW.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I people compare them a lot, but to
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: be honest, like WW is entertainment, it is definitely more
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: entertainment and AW is focused definitely more on the wrestling.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: They I'm not saying they don't put time into their
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: you know, their storylines and stuff, but they're just not
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: focused on as much, you know, like they're not the
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: main draw. The main draw is the wrestling, which AW
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: has done a great job as far as you know, getting.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Talent in the ring there.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Now they just need, in my opinion, now they just
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: need to build up some of their own younger guys
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: you know, which takes time, but it'll happen.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: So of course, I mean, I mean, look at Darby
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Allen now as their champion. The guy's been there since
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: day one and it's absolutely amazing. MJF was the champion
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: before that and again he'll he'll be champion again. That
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: he's still young, looks fantastic and he's you know, just
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: he's just getting in the peak of you know, not
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: only fitness wise, but like he's been in this business
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: for like ten years, so he's really catching his stride
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: as to who he is, what he needs to do.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: And then especially in work, he's gotten so much better.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: And then building his body the way he has absolutely
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: been incredible. Like we'll look at his indies, go look
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: at his body now way different.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that is like the proto star.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: I swear when I first saw him, you know, backstage
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: when art he started there. He has done an amazing
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: job of you know, putting on muscle mass and.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Just increase seeing him working, you know.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: And it's hard because obviously there's so many people and
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: I'm in there that want to you know, be in
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: the main push. But I mean that kid is going
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: to be around for a while and do good things too.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: And I mean, like you said, you hit the nail
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: on the head with MJF. He is he has solidified
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: his spot, is the main person in that company, you know.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: I mean you have the Keny Omegas and you know
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: the Jackson's when they come out, I mean, they're still
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: to me, one of the most creative tag teams when
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: you watch them, like, they are so fun to watch.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: They pull off crap. I don't know if we can
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: swear on this pull off stuff, then.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: They pull off stuff that I'm just like still amazed
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: by and have fun with and that's what it's about.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: It's about having fun when you watch it, right, like
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: you know what, to watch it and be like, oh,
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: that's that's been done a thousand times or whatever. You know,
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: It's like they always blow my mind, man. And you know,
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: I know they've been around for a while, so I'm
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: sure they like having their you know, their break time
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: and not having.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: A wrestle every single week.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: But but they do it, man, and when they do,
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: they sure put on a show. So yeah, yeah, I
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: don't know, man, I'm looking forward the next couple of
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: years with them. I think this is a good time
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: because again I don't know if ever if you heard
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: or you saw it, but you know, everybody's talking about
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: the prices of WWE shows, especially rest. This is the
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: time for Tony to take advantage of that with aw
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: you know, and just keep building it the way that
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: they're doing. And I feel like, you know, I think
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: it'll be hard, truly hard to be a level competition
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: with WWE, just because they have forty plus years of
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: you know, growing and everything they've done. But you know,
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: like Steve job said a long long time ago, back
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: in the day, Apple was only two percent of the
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: mark or share, you know, windows was you know, ninety
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: eight or whatever you want to call her intel. I
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: don't know how said it, but he's in. In order
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: for us to double, all we need to do is
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: that two more percent, you know. So it doesn't take
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: a lot for a small company to see big game
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: is at this point. So they just need to keep
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: working like that. Tony, Tony's good at that, you know,
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: Like I said, he's not a you know, he's not
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: a stupid person. I'll just say that he hasn't he
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: has a planning and he definitely is sticking to it.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: So well, I was curious if you had done any
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: pro wrestling training. I mean, obviously with your size and
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: your the your look, you'd be amazing. But again getting
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: in there and like you said, bump, take some take
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: the wrong bump, and you were like, oh maybe not.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: So yes, long long time ago, when I moved out
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: to California, me and my cousin decided to do it
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: and I did it for a little while. Unfortunately, I
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: just I couldn't afford it even you know, the monthly
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: of doing it, because it was it's costing and it
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: was like an hour and twenty minute drive from me also.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: To go to the place, and it was cool. Man.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: I honestly, I still think back and I go, yeah,
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: like I know, I could do well unless I I
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: love like the promo part of it. I owned a
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: gym for fifteen years, so speaking with people just came
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: naturally to me, Like I can speak.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: With you, I can talk with anybody on the street.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: It never bothers me. I try not to be shy,
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: If I don't know something, I just just don't, you know,
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: sail a lot on the subject, but don't. I can
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: always chime in when I do. But you know, so
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: I always thought like promos would be, you know, my thing,
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: like I'd be able to nail that, you know, And
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: unfortunately didn't get a ton of work in those because
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: I had stopped before we got to that. You know,
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: in the beginning, it's just about basically beating the shit.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: Out of you for two months.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: People that want to do and who don't want to
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: do it.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. You find out who the games are.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: And so I was like I was, I was into
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: an athletic ability, no problem. Like I said, I've played
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: every sport under the sun, played football, for twenty six
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: years of my life competed in powerlifting, which is kind
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: of where I got a lot of my size. Then
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: after I got done football and I loved it in fact.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: So fast forward now she gets hired for me at
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: AW and right around that time, you know, I was
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: kind of like I want to I have my gym
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: so I can train there, and a couple of people
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: from so Calpro would come over there and train at
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: my gym and stuff, and RK was, you know, doing
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: the ring announcing for them while before a W So
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: I was like, I'm going to reach out to Jeff
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: who is the owner of sog Ou Pro, and I'm
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: gonna see if Phil let me come over there and
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: do some ringwork, you know.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: And so he's like, yeah, come over Monday night. We
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: do it. I think it was like Monday and Wednesdays
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: or something. So we get going.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: Mind you, I'm old and and I'm doing I'm doing great,
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: Like I feel good. My body's in pretty good shape,
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: I'm carrying a decent size.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: You know. Everybody's like You're gonna fly through this, you know,
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: like you know.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Like as long as instinctively you can keep up and
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: you know, call stuff on the fly and pick up
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: what's going on, which again I don't consider myself stupid,
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: so it's just you know, repetition, repetition, repetition, and uh,
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: the only issue was I had from throwing highland games,
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: my right shoulder starting to get beat up and I
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: wanted to get a surgery on it so I could
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: get it relieved. And so I did that, and when
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: I was coming back from that surgery.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: I tore my pack.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: So it was like unfortunately it was like a full
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: maybe a year and like two or three months you
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: know that I was kind of out not doing anything,
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: and honestly was a sucking year in my life, just
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: because it's you know, it took me out of all
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: the things that I really like to do, which I'm
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: competitive and.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I like acting for so long that like something like
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: that taking it out like mentally is like like what
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: am I supposed to do now?
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, And that's how I was feeling, and so,
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: you know, and then you just get older.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: And so I went back.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: I think after that, and I you know, I just
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: told him I'm gonna have to limit myself to kind
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: of certain things, you know, while this was healing and stuff,
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: and then I took a bump pretty good and I
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: thought it gave me a freaking hernia exactly. You know,
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: at the end of the end of the like sessions,
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: you know, you do all your kind of cardio work,
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: sit ups, push ups, high knees, all this stuff, right,
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: you know, at the end they try and get you
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: to you know, properly or something right.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: But I, man, I couldn't do it. I was like,
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: something's wrong. I gotta I gotta get this checked out.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: So I went to the doctor and everything, and he
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: was like, luckily it's not a hernia, but you definitely
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: forget what he said exactly it was. But I basically
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: I basically strained my abdominal wall. So it was like
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: kind of a lesser version of that. It hurt just
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: as bad. So he's like, it's surgery, Well that's great,
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: but it still hurts. So at that point I was like,
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: you know, I'm getting to this age where I don't
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: want to walk around or again, kind of like what
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: I was saying with ramis, I don't want to walk
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: around like that. Like I have a twelve year old
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: son who I coach in football, and I you know,
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: he plays basketball, and I want to be able to
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: do all of that stuff. So I was like, I
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: think the wrestling part passed me by. It wouldn't bit
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: you know, sure ten fifteen years ago, no problem.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Man. Like again, I go, man, I wish, I kind
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: of wish I would have stayed with it.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: But then again, everything works out for a reason. I
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: don't have any regrets on the other stuff I played
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: football in my thirties, I owned a gym, you know,
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: like again I got to do I compete in the
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: Highland Games, which I've done really well, and then there
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: for years.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, I'm not complaining. I I do.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: Wish maybe I would have tried to at least get
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: it to a match, you know, get into a match,
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: and so I could have seen what I was like.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: But it's okay, you know, Like I said, I'm happy.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: I'm happy it's still in our family because I grew
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: up on it. Oh awesome, and I wrestled in high
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: school and stuff like that, like and so I had
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: that background. In fact, it was pretty funny though. I
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: think it was the first three second night I'm over
• 20:01

• 23:19
  Speaker 5: get used to. It but but, yeah you're trying to
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: put on the best or put out the best product you.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: Can AND i will SAY i think wrestlers are some
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: of the definitely the top athletes Like i've. Seen it's
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: just our bodies are not meant to hold up to
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: that type of, abuse.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: Like so long you have.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: Recovery like people are, like, well ask, me, like what's
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: it like compared to playing? Football, well, football you are you,
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: know you're in brutality for ninety, minutes let's just, say you,
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: know total and you're not out there every, play so
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: you know you're getting breaks and, whatever and but it's
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: it's only once a, week you, know and practices are
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: tailored around your injuries and you, know game planning and,
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: stuff whereas you, know these guys they do a match
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: and they could Have i'm not going to say serious,
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: injuries but definitely injuries that hold them back from them
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: being able to train during the, week plus their travel.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: Schedule you, KNOW i would just, say it's it's just
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: like any other sports people who people who, say you,
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: know it's not a, sport, Like, OKAY i get.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: It it's it has a pre determined, outcome but, yes
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: it is. Brutal and now All i'm.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: Saying is like they are athletes and regardless of how
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: the outcome, is it still takes a ton of talent
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: to do.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: That and so my hat is them all the.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Time, WELL i, say as we're talking like we're just
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: coming After WrestleMania, weekend which means it's, again it's not Just.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania it's literally starts On wednesday ended last night On.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Monday but there's about eight shows a day that you
• 24:56

• 24:58
  Speaker 1: women are doing more multiple, shows sometimes in a day
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: or throughout the whole. Weekend so they're. HAVING i think
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: some people could have up to like seven eight matches
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: throughout the whole.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Weekend so again that's you have to be.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: That athletic and like you're not tailoring down whatever you
• 25:15

• 25:17
  Speaker 1: of these people are super excited to face this person
• 25:20

• 28:01
  Speaker 3: don't need all these, commercials like nobody needs, It like that's.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Why, so, yeah you go see a pay per view

• 28:10
  Speaker 1: doubt the greatest pay per view you ever.
• 28:11

• 28:14
  Speaker 5: their pay per views down really.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Well they cram in thirteen matches and you don't feel
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: like it's been thirteen. Matches it's.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Bumping, no it's, crazy it's.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: CRAZY i know they do a good, job like they,
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: SAID i it's their focus, though that is what he,
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: wants you, know he doesn't want you, know.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Promo's being, played you, know after every match or you,
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Know i'll lead.
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: Up you, know it's just small video, packages and the
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: storylines happen outside of you, know any pay per.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Views they're not.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: The pay per views aren't really there to introduce or
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: set up any. Storylines like the storyline is already set pretty,
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: much and so.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: They run with. Them BUT i think he's got.
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: It LIKE i, said it reminds me of kind of a, mix,
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: well i'm gonna say EARLY wwe and then maybe a
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: little bit of THE wcwa you area, era when you,
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: know there was kind of the back and, forth so
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: they had to put the big guys you know in
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: there in the ring to obviously end the shows or
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: to be or to start the, shows you, know and
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: then they kind of got into the. Storyline AND i
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: just feel like W w is trying to capture some
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: of that, again like trying to get the storylines to take,
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: over you. Know AND i do think they just need
• 29:24

• 29:26

• 38:08
  Speaker 5: and fifty seven.
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: Years.
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: Man it's like just and that's just one competition in The.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: STATES i, mean you go overseas and they go back
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: hundreds of. Years it's, insane you, know like they compete
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: overseas in front of castles and, shit you, know and
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: you got the like royal family out there watching. It but,
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: YEAH i, know it's. Awesome so it's, yeah so they
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: invited me out to do. IT i went to a
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: local one did pretty. Good, again being strong, helps being tall.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: Helps you. Know it's kind of like these are my.
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: People in, FACT i was joking AND i, say you,
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: know like every TIME i come out to The, Games i'm, like,
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: ah my wookies because everybody's you know, tall everybody's you,
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: know got.
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: So, yeah it's.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: Awesome but, Yeah so it's nine events and you do
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: them all typically in one, day although some of the
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: bigger one split them up into.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: Two so let's plit the.
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: Events it's there's usually an, order but it never usually follows.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: That there's like a traditional order of.
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: Things So i'm going to go through it like, that
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: but usually start with like what we call, stones which
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: is kind of like, shotput and a lot of this
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: is track, DERIVED i will, say you, know like that's
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: where it probably comes from a lot of the basic
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: or the, yeah.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: The basic format of.
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: It so we throw a twenty one pounds, stone WELL
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: i think you can be up to twenty, two but
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: usually it's somewhere around right around twenty two, pounds and
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: you have to stand still and throw that.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: One so you basically stand at what is called the.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: Trig so if you think of like like when they
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: do shot put in The, olympics there's like kind of
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: like a curved circle you, know they stand, in so
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: you'd have to stand all the way at the front of.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: It you can't.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: Advance all you can do is kind of twist and then.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: Throw and so that's that's called A bramar. Stone so
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: you do that, one you get three attents at, it
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: you take your best. One then we going to open
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: stone with this. One you can throw it just like
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: a shop but if you, want you can do like a.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: Glide you can spin with. It you, know only you're
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: throwing a.
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: Rock you. Know that one's.
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: Sixteen so so from the time THAT i have started
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: doing highlight games And i'm on my eighth year with,
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: it nobody has ever beat me In.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: Stones it's my. Jam for some.
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: Reason it was the only THING i did in high
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: school that translated.
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: To this out of.
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: Track but LIKE i, said being strong, helps being athletic,
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: helps so just putting it. Together, yeah that has been
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: my jam for all eight. Years i'm still waiting for
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: somebody to beat me SO i can then. Retire maybe
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: that moment that may the retirement may come sooner than
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: somebody beating, me because still got a little still got
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: a little game left to me. There but so That's.
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: Stones then you go to. Wait we call it wait for,
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: distance and it's basically a hand with a chain on,
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: it and then a big old weight at the. End
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: and for my class we do forty two pound, weight
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: and then we do a twenty eight pound. Weight, yeah the,
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: pros the pros throw a fifty six pound weight and
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: a twenty eight pound, weight Which i've thrown in the
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: what they call the open, class because if you go,
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: pro you can't then compete in any lower.
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: Classes so AND i got into it late in my
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: later in.
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: Life if i'd have been, younger i'd have totally gone
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: pro because, it's you, know definitely fun to compete against
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: all those. Guys but certain competitions have what they call
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: it open, class so anybody can enter in. It So
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: i've done, that And i've won some events Or i've
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: done well against some of the pro SO i THINK
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: i would have done well IF i would have been
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: able to compete or decide to do that back in the.
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: Day but, anyway so those are the. Weights the pros
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: just throw a little bit heavier. Heavyweight, again three. Throws
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: we usually spin twice with it in the, trig which
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: is kind of like that it's a, square but it's
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: similar to the circle that you see them throw shot.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: Put in basically track and.
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: Field and uh and, yeah so you're just trying to
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: throw it out in front of you as far as.
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: Possible three throws with the heavy, one three throws with
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: the light. One so that's your first four. Events the
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: next one usually is like. Hammers so if you've ever
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: seen wire hammer in The, olympics, yeah that's like kind
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: of grab with two hands and they spin it around
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: their head and then they start spinning real fast and
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: then they launch.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: It and so ours is a weighted ball on A.
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: Pvc pipe, basically so we stand with our backs to
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: the field and we just go around our, head you
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: know how many times you, want and then launch it,
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: basically and you, know again you have a heavy and
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: a light, one so uhose are.
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: The next two.
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: Events then you get into single, events so those kind
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: of all have heavy in.
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: Lights then we go to, sheaf which is one of my.
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: Favorites it's a, pitchfork, yeah basically a canvas or twine
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: tight bag that is filled to sixteen pounds and then
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: the pros throw a twenty, yeah and you're trying to
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: throw it up as high as you can over a.
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: Bar so think of like pole, volt but you don't
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: run with. It you kind of stand with your back towards,

• 43:57
  Speaker 5: what the, bars you, know the bar setup is called the.

  Speaker 5: Standard the top of the standards was forty feet, exactly
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: AND i threw it over the, standard but it didn't go.
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: Over the ball was out in front of. It SO
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: i was, like, man you, Know i'm feeling this is pretty.
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: Good this YEAR i, Won so what happens is once
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: you make yours and if you're the last, one you,
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: know if nobody makes that, height then you win. There
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: then you get to take three additional throws if you,
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: want for like records or, whatever, gotcha just. Personally it
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: doesn't count towards the competition, stuff but you can do
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: it for personal records or even world records or stuff like.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: That and SO i took.
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: THREE i won at thirty, two WHICH i kind of
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: expected the guy that was going against me to go
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: a little, higher but his aim was just. Off he
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: was throwing it, high it just wasn't getting it over the,
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: bar and sometimes that. Happens BUT i won it at
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: thirty two. Feet so THEN i went to thirty four
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: AND i got, that which was pretty good Because i'm, like,
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: Oh I'm i'm within, range and this is my first
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: Games i've thrown this, year SO i haven't really done
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: a whole unto.
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: Practicing it was just kind of, like let's come out.
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: And over do.
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: It and unfortunately we kind of ran out of time
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: there because you, know there's tons of. Groups there's, like you,
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: know another ten groups of people going, on and each
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: group has usually eight to ten people in. It so
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: we moved from event to, event and we were just
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: running short on, time SO i didn't take. Anymore we
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: went to the next. Event But chief is one of
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: my favorites. Man in, fact it was my, goal and we'll.
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: SEE i don't know When i'm gonna have another chance for,
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: it BUT i if not this, YEAR i may just
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: set up next year to try and break the world
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: record At vegas, again because they were asking me IF
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: i was going to try for it and again IF
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: i would add more time to, practice which my schedule
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: has just been a little busy leading into these. GAMES
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: i didn't get a whole bunch and training, too which
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: is you, know a big part of. It BUT i
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: didn't really put that together as well AS i wanted.
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: To so maybe next year we can go for. It
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: But i'm.
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: Close that would be pretty cool to take down a
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: world record for. That and then then we go TO,
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: wab which is called weight over. Bars so this is
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: kind of LIKE i was, saying you have a handle
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: and then instead of a, chain it just connects right
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: to the, weight so it looks, like, yeah it's like
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: kettlebell almost, exactly and then you're doing the same. Thing
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: you're trying to throw that over a, bar it's last man.
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: Standing it just goes up by. Foot so every time
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: you make, it you, know you come in whenever you.
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: Want so like some people start at like ten, Feet
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: i'll come in at like sixteen feet and then we
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: just go and you, know USUALLY i think the guy
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: that wanted he wanted a. Nineteen me and him were
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: both thrown on nineteen feet and that way is that's
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: the fortund, Weigh so.
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: That's forty two throw up that high. Up that's.
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: Insane, yeah it's, Crazy AND i mean my best is.
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: Twenty the guy that beat me this, WEEKEND i think
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: he's thrown twenty.
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: One so we're pretty. Close the.
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: Guy the, guy he's a good friend of, mine and
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: we've competed a lot OF i call my nemesis because
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: he's like we, are we are very, equal and a
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: lot of this stuff where we, throw and it just
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: usually comes down to who has the worst, day you,
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: know or who doesn't get an event to. FALL i
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: knew by the fourth event that day THAT i was
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: gonna lose to him by, one because you just kind
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: of know how it plays out and if unless there's
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: gonna be some crazy you, know screw up or something
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: happens like maybe he fouls three times or, something which
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: is super, rare but you, know something like, that sure
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: that can. Happen but, again it kind of was, like oh,
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: man because it it ended on his best two, events
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: which is the hammer, one as those are my worst
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: and those are his, best AND i was like dead
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: tired by the end of the, day but it was,
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: Fine like, again If i'm gonna lose, anybody He's he's
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: a multiple time world champion and me and him have
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: battled up at that one THAT i was saying in
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: northal it's like kind of THE Us, championships will coll
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: it or.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: Whatever i've won it two.
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: TIMES i think he's won it two, Times so THIS
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: i want to last.
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: Year So i'm kind of going back to try and
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: defend it this.
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: Year and it should be a good battle because there's
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: a couple of good guys that.
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: Are coming into our class this.
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: Year but, anyway so THERE'S Wob so that's eight, events
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: and then the last, one which is the most popular
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: that people usually love to, watch is the big telephone bowl,
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: throw which is called, Caber and with that you're trying
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: to run with it and flip it directly in front of,
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: you so it lands like if you're you, know if
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: a clock was in front of, you want to plan
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: on a, twelve and then that's what they give. You
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: it's called a twelve, o'clock so it's measured by a clock.
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: Basically AND i threw an eleven, fifty which means it was,
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: here but it won me.
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: The, Event so that's okay as long as it. Wins you, know,
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: well you're not just throwing.
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: It you're picking it. Up you're carrying, it and you're
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: going to flip it like it's not just, yeah.
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: Which, is and the toughest part is picking it up
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: because you picked it, up so you kind of get.
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: Up yeah it, is and everything's it's the weight of,
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: them which the weight definitely plays into it when you
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: get real, big but it's the, height like once they
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: start getting twenty feet, TALL i, mean trying to carry
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: something and run with it when it's TWENTY i mean
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: JUST i, say.
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: It's like flying a. Plane the littlest movement with that
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: thing and it's just going to go all over the.
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: Place so being able to control it and then you
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: know it's not like you're again like a plane on a,
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: runway you weren't on a grass field that has divots
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: and all kinds of, shape so like you can step
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: in the wrong hole and all of a sudden you're,
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: now all of a sudden it's running, left you, know
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: right or. Whatever so it's. Fun but, yeah picking that
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: thing up off the ground because they stand it up
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: to you so it's perfectly, straight and you're kind of
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: leaning against your, shoulder and then you work your hands
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: down so you're in this like crazy crouched low, position
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: and then you're trying to squeeze it with your, palms
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: and you, know when you decide to, go you squeeze
• 49:33
  Speaker 5: it real hard and you kind of pick it, up.
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: And then you got to you, know like slide your
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: hands undeth and catch it.
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: All while trying to keep it completely upright so it
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: doesn't go flying, somewhere because LIKE i, said if it
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: moves two or three, inches you're gonna lose, it you.
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: Know and that's why the thing that is the, hardest
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: because it's one of the hardest things in. Practice not
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: many people have twenty foot telephone poles laying, around you,
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: know in their house to go out to the, field
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: so it was The it's the only event That i've
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: never practiced. WITH i just do it that. Game But
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: i've gotten really good with. It like it took me
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: some time for, sure but but, yeah it. Was it's
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: one of my favorite ones. Too like, now there's not
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: one That i've had THAT i would say intimidates. Me
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: like back in the, Day i'd be, like, shit this
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: thing is one hundred and fifty pounds and it's nineteen feet,
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: long like this is gonna be a. Battle but now
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: it's more or less how's my? Runway like is it?
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: Flat or AM i gonna have to be looking for land?
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: Mines you? Know or where we're trying to. Go, so you,
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: know that's that's more WHAT i think about.
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: Now but but that's a fall when the crowd loves,
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: it because you, know for most schemes that we can compete,
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: in only a few people should be able to flip the.
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: Cab it shouldn't be like everybody can flip, them you,
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: Know so it kind of builds the crowd up even,
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: more you, know and you get like five people that
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: miss it and can't get. In then you of course
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: you get the one guy that does, it and the crowd's, like,
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: yeah you, know so it's. FUN i, mean the one
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: this competition we do up in Northern, california it's Called.

• 51:09
  Speaker 5: the grand stands while you're doing. This you, know they're

  Speaker 5: a lot.
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: Like liability on these games and stuff like.
• 58:17

• 58:46
  Speaker 5: bring them. Back the money wasn't, there you, know sponsors

• 1:01:34
  Speaker 5: in it, Too like she did the lightweight class and
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 5: she did really well and was training hard for, it and,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 5: then LIKE i, said aw kind of happened and just,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 5: life you, know LIKE i, said. Priorities but he would
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 5: he would battle with her when we'd go out to
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 5: practice because he would throw her.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: Weights, yeah and you, know he was starting to get

• 1:02:07
  Speaker 5: It we have one we have here In San, diego
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 5: so you, KNOW i imagine that if we're in the area,

• 1:02:17
  Speaker 5: The vegas one would be cool, Too LIKE i, said
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 5: there's they do great because they have a junior division
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 5: and it's lighter weights even like you, know they take

• 1:03:00
  Speaker 5: Want if you want to take it fully serious and do, that,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 5: like you can absolutely do. That and then if you you,
• 1:03:05

• 1:03:06
  Speaker 5: you can do that.
• 1:03:07

• 1:03:11
  Speaker 5: whiskey and beer and do whatever you. Want and LIKE i,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 5: Said I'M i probably didn't understand, it you, KNOW i,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 5: MEAN i enjoy the camaraderie no matter who's out.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: There i'm just like a people.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 5: Person but but, yeah like NOW i can understand just
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 5: going out there to throw and have fun a little bit,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 5: more but my body still feels.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 4: It So i'm, like, well If i'm gonna feel, it
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: THEN i should probably at least.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 5: Try you, know to do win or, whatever because all
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 5: the otherwise this pain isn't worth it to.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: Me, yes what was your when you're a powerlifting what
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: was your event that you were you were best?
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: At probably, DEADLIFT i was PRETTY i think So.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 5: My best numbers were seven thirty three, deadlift a six
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 5: hundred and fifty five pound squads So i'm not like
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: anything wrapped.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 4: Around my knees or.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 5: Anything different divisions, too so so six hundred and fifty
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 5: five pounds raw squad and my best. Bench my bench
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 5: was my weakest, thing, unfortunately was only. FOUR i, MEAN
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 5: I i hit four fifty one in the gym multiple,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 5: times but four forty six was the only thing THAT
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 5: i was the BEST i did on the. Platform so
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 5: that kind of bummed me out BECAUSE i always wanted
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 5: to be able to bench five hundred and and in the.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: GYM i actually you, KNOW I i've lifted much more
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 5: Than i've hit on the, platform but you just got
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: to put it.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 4: Together you're doing your max.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 5: Lifts you get three attents on squad and then three
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 5: attempts on bench and then three attempts on, deadlift and you,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 5: know something goes wrong saying Squad that can affect your whole,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 5: day you, Know and so it's like it's a mental.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 4: Thing for. Sure it's the most mental Sport i've probably
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: ever competed.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 5: IN i would say wrestling is definitely because it's a
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 5: one on one you, know it's JUST u versus you type.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 4: Thing so, yeah it's it's.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 5: Definitely powerlifting taught me how to have the most incredible
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 5: will power and the determination when nobody cheers for, you
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 5: because it's not like this, huge popular. Sport you, know
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 5: you're literally adding two pounds on your bar a week
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 5: to try and you, know get better. Numbers but it's
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 5: very black and, white you, know like it's not like
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 5: a bodybuilding like where you go to, bodybuilding maybe you
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 5: have judges that are looking for this type of symmetry
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 5: this day or.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 4: Whatever You, no, no if you lift four hundred, pounds
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 4: you lift four hundred.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 5: Pounds, yeah if you miss four hundred and two, pounds
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 5: you've lifted four hundred. Pounds you, know it's like that's
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 5: what you. Get so you, know it can play with people's.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 5: HEADS i always THOUGHT i was pretty good at, it
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 5: just because they had a pretty i would say competitive athletic,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 5: mentality where you're gonna, win you're gonna, lose you, know
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 5: and you got to you got to be able to
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 5: take the losses and almost hate those more than you enjoy.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: Winning if you want to be, good you, know of,
• 1:05:54

  Speaker 4: To go into the.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 5: GYM i always THOUGHT i was lucky BECAUSE i got

• 1:11:31
  Speaker 5: people that came in. There you, know it was it
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 5: was a great, environment you, know but things just become
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 5: monotonous over, time and it was a lot of the same,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 5: things AND i just didn't feel LIKE i was challenging
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 5: or being.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: Challenged, sorry you. Know and SO.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 5: I had done some commercials back WHEN i played, football you,

  Speaker 5: know just like background, stuff and it.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 4: Was always, cool, MAN i was. Cool and then my
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 4: wife she did acting for a while, actually And i'd.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 5: Hear reader lines or she'd do our audition and, stuff
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 5: AND i was always, impressed BECAUSE i actually think she's
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 5: better at it THAN i. Am but BUT i was always,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 5: impressed AND i always thought it was. Fun and then
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 5: me and, her like one of our things we just
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 5: have together movies AND tv, Shows like we have some
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 5: of the best conversations after we watch a movie or
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 5: after A tv. Show you, know it's like because they
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 5: represent life to a. Degree you, know sure they're, exaggerating
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 5: but some of. IT a lot of storytelling now is
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 5: very hard hitting and very you, know true and. Real
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 5: it's kind of BEEN i feel like the change over
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 5: the last couple of, years you, know or ten years or.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 5: So as, man it's like stuff has become a lot

• 1:12:38
  Speaker 5: know watching, viewing and so you, know LIKE i, said
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 5: it brings down a lot of good. Conversations some of
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 5: them are great inspirational and some of them are like,
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 5: man you, know like that's got to be tough.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 4: And, whatever you.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 5: Know and SO i just felt Like i've always done
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 5: stuff THAT i hope inspires, people whether it be, football my,
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 5: jim being a, dad owning a, GYM i, mean even

• 1:13:06
  Speaker 5: i got to do, that and you know somebody heard
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 5: it and.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 4: Whatever but.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 5: Acting or movies always kind of inspired me, to you,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 5: know be, better try something, new do something you know
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 5: that was maybe out of my realm or. Whatever and
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 5: SO i signed up for an acting class AND i was,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 5: Like i'm Gonna i'm gonna try this because life was
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 5: just LIKE i, said not, boring just. Monotonous and AFTER
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 5: i don't, know two, months MAYBE i THINK i can't
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 5: remember when. EXACTLY i think we're maybe laying in bed or,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 5: whatever BUT i just told my Wife i'm gonna sell the,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 5: gym you, know Like i'm gonna try.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 4: And do this BECAUSE i was just truly enjoying.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 5: It it was challenging, me like it was tough, mentally
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 5: like breaking down scripts and characters and how to you,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 5: know LIKE i just had a scene ride to redo
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 5: or reenact The Training day scene when you see the Movie.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: Training, Day, yeah.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 4: Everybody loves that.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 5: MOVIE i got to Be denzel and it's when he
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 5: first meets.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 4: His, name his partner Than.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 5: Ethank, yes it's when he first Meets Ethan hawk in
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 5: the like they're in a diner, basically, Right.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 4: So we have to do that. Scene but you can't
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 4: do the scene As denzel BECAUSE i have you've seen.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 5: That you have to do it as you but with that, mentality,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 5: right like how would you play that?
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 4: Part and that's very much like what the.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 5: Teachers to talk about, is you, know so we have
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 5: these script breakdowns and just you know how and then
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 5: how to know your lines because you, know when you,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 5: act it's about being, true not just saying the. Lines
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 5: because you're just saying the, lines everybody will pick up on,
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 5: it you, know and just know that it's just a fake.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 5: Conversation so a lot of lines a lot of script
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 5: when you when we get, scripts is kind of like
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 5: you look at. It sure you you know the, line
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 5: you memorize it to a, degree but it doesn't have
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 5: to be. Perfect acting is never. Perfect it should never be.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 5: Perfect is kind of like my takeaway from it now
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 5: and hearing teachers and multiple people talk on. It it's
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 5: you just playing the, part but true to the. Part you,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 5: know like you you have to truly believe and feel
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 5: as that person in order to get the right emotions or.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 5: Whatever and SO i had SO i have to listen
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 5: to the person That i'm acting the scene now and
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 5: like fully be invested in what he's. Saying so my
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 5: response may not be the exact, line but it'll be,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 5: close but it's WHAT i, feel, like like as IF
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 5: i was having that conversation and there was no acting going.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 4: On that's what they, want you, know and that's the whole.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 5: Idea so it's kind of funny BECAUSE i did that
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 5: scene and THEN i didn't watch training day BECAUSE i
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 5: didn't want to see him or see how he did it.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 5: Beforehand but AFTERWARDS i went and watched it and he
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 5: improves so, much, man all That like it was, Crazy
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 5: LIKE i stuck mostly to the, lines you, know BUT
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 5: i was just, like, damn he, Is.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 4: Like that's what's impressive about actors like.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 5: That you, know they're able to take what they're given
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 5: and then just make it their own and it's so
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 5: believable and you, know and it's fun and you're just like,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 5: you you, know so becoming that.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 4: Character LIKE, i me and my wife Love.
• 1:16:15

• 1:19:39
  Speaker 5: bring help me support my, vision help me get my
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 5: vision out. There so if the director you, know writes
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 5: the script or a writer writes the, script and the
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 5: director has these ideas to get it to film or to,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 5: screen it's my job to try and bring the BEST
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 5: i can for him so he's, successful because, Ultimately i'm
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 5: just the piece of the, puzzle you, Know like he's
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 5: the you, know the, writers the, directors they're the ones
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 5: that own.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 4: A lot of this, stuff you.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 5: KNOW i, mean actors are, great and you, know they
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 5: probably do very well if they're successful and you know
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 5: what they're, doing but ultimately you're trying to make a
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 5: vision come true for, somebody you, know and they see
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 5: in you like he trusts. Me he's you, know WHEN
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 5: i did the, audition he obviously liked what he, saw
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 5: which is. Cool so then you, know it's kind of like,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 5: twofold like you, know he's trusting. You you have to
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 5: put the trust into him That, okay we can make.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 5: This we can make this exactly what you're hoping, for you.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 5: Know and SO i think that's cool part of it
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 5: because then you feel like you're part of.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 4: A, team you.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 5: Know and that's another big thing THAT i grew up
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 5: on with, teams you, know LIKE i, said wrestling to,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 5: me power of the thing to me where you, know
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 5: the very one on one or just you versus yourself type. Thing,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 5: Right so those are, different but you KNOW i was, football, baseball,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 5: basketball power the, thing LIKE i, said is one of.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 5: Them BUT i training, groups you, know with, people and
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 5: then high things you're usually with a bunch of people
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 5: stuff like that or, acting you, know you're with entire.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 5: CREWS i, mean you, know there's LIKE i, Say i'm
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 5: the worst with names BECAUSE i would see you, know
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 5: one hundred people in a day at a, gym and
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 5: Just i'm, like there's no way to remember all your,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 5: names and it'll take me a.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 4: While so Now i'm, LIKE i get to go on,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 4: set And i'm just, like.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 5: Great not only DO i have to rememorize or try
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 5: and remember the name of like the, gaffer of the
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 5: person holding the, mic the person behind the, camera the
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 5: director all, that THEN i have to know the names
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 5: of the people that are in the script and relate
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 5: them to their real. Names So i'm, like this is
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 5: this is the worst fucking THING i ever thought of.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 5: Doing my weakness is memorizing. Names so, yeah it's been
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 5: pretty funny with. THAT i feel so bad for my
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 5: wife BECAUSE i.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 4: DON'T i. Don't it's blurred in my. BACKGROUND i can't
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 4: really try.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 5: Up but, ANYWAYS i have lights and a camera set
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 5: up right behind, me and it's.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 4: WHERE i film my auditions and STUFF i hear in my.

• 1:22:20
  Speaker 5: Again and then you, know we'll get halfway through And
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 5: i'll screw something up And i'll just be, like god damn.

  Speaker 5: should find something else to do in.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 4: Life i'm just it's a you.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 5: Know it's an extremely volatile i'll say, profession because most
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 5: gyms don't make it past two. YEARS i mean that
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 5: is it might even be LOWER i remember looking it,
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 5: up you, know but, MOST i mean it might be
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 5: be small, businesses but gym's, especially they're super hard one to,
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 5: get like any type of backing or funding For LIKE
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 5: i started my gym with eight GRAND i, think you,
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 5: know like literally just you, know save some money or
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 5: had some money and then just freaking put it into
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 5: minimal amounts of equipment and started from a little eleven
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 5: hundred square foot, space you. Know and my last space
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 5: THAT i had was five thousand square feet with the
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 5: top equipment THAT i could, buy you. KNOW i was
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 5: again but built up over, time you. Know so people
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 5: don't people always see the where you're at, now BUT
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 5: i don't always have kids or we're close to the
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 5: military space, here SO i get a lot of military
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 5: guys that come and they're, like, YEAH i don't want
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 5: to get, OUT i want to open a, gym and it's.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 5: COOL i always joke around with them and you, know
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 5: are you? Sure but but THEN i tell them, like
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 5: if you if you can stick to you know your,
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 5: plan and you can do it relatively, efficient because, man
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 5: a lot along the, way you, Know i'm Just i'm
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 5: just a meatthead that had a.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 4: DETERMINATION i had no plan to be out of that.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 5: Sound BUT i, said you can make it past the
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 5: first two, YEARS i, said believe. Me my first two
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 5: years were extremely. TOUGH i MEAN i was paying things
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 5: with credit, cards trying to figure.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 4: Out What bill, liked you, know would not have to
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 4: pay that month and try and make it up on
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 4: the next month or.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 5: Whatever but once we got past the first two, years
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 5: then we were able to start. GROWING i feel, like
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 5: and some gyms have done it. Faster some gyms don't
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 5: make it at, all you. Know but, yeah it's a
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 5: it's a tough. Business but at least in my, HEAD
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 5: i have a fairly decent. Blueprint now THEN i feel
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 5: LIKE i can pass on to them and you, know
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 5: if they do, IT i wish.
• 1:33:42

• 1:34:29
  Speaker 5: determination staying with, it you, know. Evolving that was another
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 5: thing was with the gym THAT i think what's hard

• 1:35:08
  Speaker 5: way you, know and then, okay that works for a little,

• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: if you don't know Who Jay shetty, is almost the
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: same thing except for the donk of the. Foundation but
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: they were talking about, that and that's exactly What tim was.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: Saying it was, like you, know now that he is,
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: older and now that he's done all these, things it's
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: literally about the. Relationships it's about the, time the little
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: thing that actual things in life that matter are the
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: things that as an older person you were, realizing oh,
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: shit this is WHAT i probably could have been focused
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: on the entire time and still would have been just
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: as happy.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah the things you think you, need you.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 5: Know like, again WHEN i opened the, gym it was
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 5: trying to develop all these relationships with, everybody you, know
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 5: and then you forget or sometimes you forget you're running
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 5: a business, though you, know and Ultimately i'm, like, MAN
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 5: i should know.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 4: THIS i come from. Football football is a.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 5: Business you get attached to things and then the owners,
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 5: like you know, what, nope you're, traded you know. WHATEVER
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 5: i just, Example but so sometimes that was that was
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 5: hard for me for a.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 4: While actually it.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 5: Was you, know you'd have people come, in you develop
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 5: relationships with, them they become your buddies.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 4: Because all my friends pretty much came from the gym
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 4: at that, point you.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 5: Know but then they they'd have to move or maybe
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 5: they couldn't afford that my gym, anymore so they have
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 5: to go somewhere, Else and then you take.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 4: It, personally and then that sucks because you shouldn't do.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 4: That it's just, business you.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 5: Know and like so, YEAH i took a little bit
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 5: of figuring that out when that started. Happening and and,
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 5: yeah there's definitely friends THAT i, miss you, know from
• 1:38:03

  Speaker 5: okay can't he handle choreography of weapons or fighting or
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 5: whatever that part may. Include so just because you have the,
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 5: look you could literally be perfect exactly what the director
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 5: is thinking his characters should look.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 4: Like but you can't do the other, things, well then

• 1:40:22
  Speaker 5: goal with it is to kind of have not totally cheesy,

• 1:40:30
  Speaker 5: choreography which is just so, impressive and bring it into.

  Speaker 1: amazing so.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 4: Good, yeah it's so.
• 1:40:39

  Speaker 5: Blood sport With Van Damn, yes like one kick and
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 5: then to take a, second you, know they cut and

• 1:41:35
  Speaker 5: but the previous. One and a one shot is, basically you,
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 5: know i'll explain it, really but a one shot is
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 5: where they follow the entire scene without cutting at any,
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 5: point you, know so there's no editing going on one,
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 5: scene they're moving the camera to stay out of the
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 5: way that you, know everything's got to be on point,
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 5: basically because you, know it could be a two minute,
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 5: scene you, know where there's just it's. Continuous and they

  Speaker 5: the main guy And gladiator. Too Also SORRY i can't
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 5: remember his, name BUT i was amazed by, him And i'm,
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 5: like how did he not get? Nominated and so you,
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 5: Know i'm like watching these movies And i'm just LIKE
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 5: i go it goes back from my head And i'm, like,
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 5: man he did so. Good and then so THEN i
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 5: kind of rewatched one of the parts in, there AND
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 5: i noticed a nothing like every time there was an
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 5: important something about to happen in the, movie they did
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 5: this up looking down kind of angle, shot AND i
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 5: picked up on, it like these are the stuff that
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 5: makes directors amazing at what they do because they, use you,
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 5: know like the same.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 4: Shot to show you that something important is coming or
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 4: you should pay attention at this point type, thing, Right
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 4: and do you pick up on it most of the. Time,
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 4: No but as an, actor, like, YES i see that.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 5: Now so it's like you watch movies in a different
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 5: level kind of takes away from it, almost you. Know
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 5: and WHEN i hear like other actors talk like about
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 5: do they go to their? Movies do they watch the?
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 5: Movies and a lot of them, don't you, KNOW i,
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 5: believe or like they may go to a premiere and
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 5: they may sit in the, theater BUT i guess a
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 5: lot of them don't because, again you start to critique.
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 4: Everything you start to look at, it you, know a different.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 3: Way they use that TAKE.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: I like to take they did before, this but okay
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: he wanted this one and yeah, sure.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 4: So now going back through all of this.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 5: Again so, now LIKE i love to Watch marvel movies
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 5: BECAUSE i can watch them without any critique THAT i
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 5: can shut my brain, right AND i can do that
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 5: with most action, movies LIKE i just enjoy them for
