• 1:59
  Speaker 3: have much, so thank you. Questions.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let's go right into the questions here.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's see here. Why do some people feel their
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: arms giving out first during the plank? Is it due
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: to insufficient upper body strength? What methods can help improve this? Yeah,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: it's due to upper body strength all the way. So,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: like your chest and your triceps will usually give out
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: if they're not as strong as your abdomen is before
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: your abdomen does, which it's okay, it's just going to
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: take you a little while to build it up. So
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: you know, like probably a couple of days a week,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: start doing pushups, try to get as many as you
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: can and do probably four sets to as many as
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: you can, and if it ends up being five, then
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: it's five. If it's twenty five, then it's twenty five.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: But if you're doing twenty five, you can probably hold
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: a plank for a good long while, so get what
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: you can. If you can't do a whole lot of
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: pushups yet, put your knees on the ground. This will,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: you know, make it a little bit easier till you
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: can handle it with your just on your feet. And
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: then if you're starting to get towards easier and stuff
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: like that, you can start putting your feet up onto
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: like a couch or something to where it really levels
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: you off and makes it a little bit more difficult.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: And then of course there's always other ways to have
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: somebody put their hand in your back, stuff like that
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: to increase weight if you do not have access to weights,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: dips between chairs, or a couple of poles, you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: stuff like that. That will also greatly help your tricep
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: strength and your upper body strength as well, which will
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: help your plank quite a bit. So those two things
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: will probably do quite a bit for that. You know,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: some trice of extensions if you don't have any weights,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: just using like a dumbbell or a kettlebell, or you know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: a couple of gallons of milk, use them empty milk
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: containers and fill them full of water and do those.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Those those will work. You can do you know, triceps
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: and biceps with those. So there's many different things. There's
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: so many different ways you can exercise without you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: having to spend a lot of money on a gym
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: membership or a lot of money on equipment. So there's
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: always if there's always a will, there's always a way.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: So that'll that will help improve your planks and which
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: will help improve your core stability and stuff like that
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: you mentioned before. Plankings has slimonilarities with meditation. When it
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: becomes hard to hold, should I focus on on my
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: attention their attention? Should one observe the pain and imagine
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: it is illusionary or shift our focus to breathe or
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: something else? In reality, I can't shift my focus to
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: breathing because it's too painful. The way to endure as
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I tell myself, it may hurt, but it won't kill me.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I've done that more times than I can count. And
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: as you're doing that, just keep your focus in like, hey,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: this is only gonna last so long. I only have
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: to hold this so long. I'm trying to reach my
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: next goal, you know, so long if you hold it
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: five cents five seconds longer than you did the day before,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: that's a win. So don't don't necessarily get caught up
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: in having to really get over complicated with where to
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: put your mind during this. It's not going to be comfortable,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: and so focus as much as you can on the
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: movement and then yeah, put your brain out there, like, look,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be fine. I just have to last this
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: many more seconds. I do that quite a bit as
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I'm stretching my hips and stuff like that, because my
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: hips don't like to move anymore, which is okay, but
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: you make a move anyway. And so I'm like sitting
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: there and go, it's just pain. It's only gonna it's temporary.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: It's not going to last. So I'm just going to
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: sit here and hold here and relax through it. Even
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: though it doesn't feel good, even though it's not fun.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to relax through it and accept it.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: And this is not going to kill me. It's not
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: going to hurt me. It's not going to do anything else.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: It's just uncomfortable. And then I hit my time goal
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: for that day, and I stand back up and move
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: around and on to the next thing. So, I mean,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: there's so many different ways to deal with that. That's
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: kind of how I look into it. Or just put
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: my mind somewhere else, start like counting numbers, or you know,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: put your focus on like a song or you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: some other type of meditation device and things like that,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: and just put your head somewhere else, and then you'll
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: look up and it'll be another ten seconds and then
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: you got maybe ten fifteen to go, and you just
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: find ways to occupy your mind even though it's not
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: going to change the way it feels. It'll get your
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: attention off of it. Time will feel like it passes faster,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: and then you'll be through and done and on to
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: the next thing. So it's kind of my advice when
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: it comes to that stuff. This seems to be the
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: same on squad holds and hyper extensions. Yeah, yeah, it's
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: it's just you gotta understand what's uncomfortable and getting used
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: to getting comfortable being uncomfortable. And that's kind of like
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: the key to a lot of things in life is
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: there's not a whole lot of things that are going
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: to make you stand out or be elite or anything
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: else if you're not willing to sacrifice a little bit
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: and be be comfortable being uncomfortable. It's just it's just
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: how it is if you're to achieve one. I've I've
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: literally not met anyone at a world class, elite level
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: that doesn't understand that or go through that when they're
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: doing things. And then some people excel far more than
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: what their body is capable by willing to put their
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: mind into that place and just willing to deal with
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: it knowing they're going to make it through. And you know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: that's kind of how you have to have the mindset
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: going into that, you know, that's all. And then the
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: benefits you get after that, where once everything's healed up
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: and you're moving around, you're better and stronger than you
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: were before, and you're mentally stronger than you were before.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: And that's also a big thing. Being mentally strong is
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: a big, big issue, you know, So because so many
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: people just they get a little uncomfortable and they're just
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: they just tossing the towel. They just don't want to
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: don't want to feel that way. Then they're like, you
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: couldn't do this. It's like WHOA. At the moment you
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: get this, you know a little bit of discomfort, a
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: little bit of whatever. You just stop. That's not that's
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: not going to ever get you to the upper etaalant,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: you know, of anything athletically mentally, if things get hard mentally,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: you can't just fold. You have to keep going forwards.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: And as you function and get used to that, you
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: know you're going to do a whole lot more. It's
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: you know, talking to some Navy seals a lot of
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: that training. It just or even some airborne rangers. It's
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: it's just it sucks. It's just, but it's just dealing
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: with it because it's going to be a temporary thing.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: It's it's not going to stay that way twenty four
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: hours a day, seven days a week, you know, twelve
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: months a year, every year till then till the to
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: your life's over. It's not going to stay that way.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: The discomfort is temporary, but the lasting effects of getting
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: through it are pretty permanent. You you learn another way
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: to approach life and how to get through things. Be like, yeah,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: this is not going to be fun, but you know what,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: I can do it because I've done stuff like this before.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: And it gives you a confidence that you and a
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: feeling of you know, wellness, that, Hey, I know I
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: can make it through just about anything as long as
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: I put my mind to it. And that's kind of
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: how I get through some of the things that I've
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: been through with injuries and some of the accidents and
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: things like that. Is Yeah, rehabbing, this is not going
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: to be fun, but I know if I do it,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: and I do it right, I'll be right back where
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: I was and in no time and be just as
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: strong and everything else and been right every time. So
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: you know, just just go into it knowing it's not
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: going to be comfortable, but that's okay. It's okay, and
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: you're gonna be just fine, and just understand, Yeah, the
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: mind frame of this is not going to kill me. Yeah,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: you're right, it's not going to kill you. So deal
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: with it. Set break, your break, your next achievable goal,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: because you've got to set a goals that are achievable.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: So I mean, if you're struggling to get there and
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: you beat it by one second the next day, that's it.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: That's you've done better that day. So it's just doing
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: the better or doing or staying level with where you were,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: you know, and slow, methodical gains over time will get
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: you to it anywhere you want to go and anything you
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: want to accomplish. It's just a methodology and just getting
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: through it. So it's like that for studying. It's like
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: that for anything. You know, you can become an expert
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: reading about something for one hour a day for three
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: years straight. It's just sacrificing one hour a day for
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: three years, and if you do that, you'll know just
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: about as much as anybody on the planet on that subject,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: which is pretty impressive. So it's kind of like, yeah,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: it's not gonna be fun, but I can do it
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: and you can do it, so do it.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it's it's achievable. It's and everything to what
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you're laying out is everything that and this is just
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: coming from planks, and this is just from coming in
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: from focus and meditation on what you're doing and just
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: understanding that like that suffer translates into everything else in life,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: because if a plank is the hardest thing you've done
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: for the day, the rest of the day is going
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to be smooth. You know what I'm saying. Fantastic, Yeah exactly.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: You know, you're doing a lot more than the average person.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: And just like Nick said, like the way you can
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: push this towards everything is something that can translate and
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: transcend your life in the way you want when you
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: focus on you mm.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the focus and focus on getting better.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it, you know what I'm saying. There's a
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: lot of crazy things out there in the world, and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of times people just you know, they don't
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: understand that. You know, a simple, simple, different perspective can
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: absolutely change the way you see everything.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and there's there's a lot of that, and yeah, yeah,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: it's sometimes it's looking through eyes of other people and
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: hearing their points of view on things and ways you
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: haven't considered something and you're like, okay, and some things
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: will automatically make more sense, and other things will just
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: kind of give you an idea of where they're coming from.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: It might not you might not necessarily agree with it,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: but you'll have a better understanding of how they're functioning
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: and what their thought processes like going through that. And
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: training is a lot like that. I mean, there's things
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: where I completely understand some of the thought processes and
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: philosophies are going through, like bodybuilding or some of the
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: power lifting stuff and even straw Man. These are things
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: that will not be successful for me, but I can
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: understand how and why they're successful for other people, which
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: allows you to pull off things for their training and
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: their philosophy and stuff like that that might work for
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: you and might help you get better and leave the
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: stuff that's not going to work for you in the bag,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: and then you just take out what will be useful
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: for you and move on and take a little bit
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: of this one, a little bit of that one, a
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: little bit of this one, and eventually come up with
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: your own way of doing things and follow the ways
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: that help you become successful. I've done this more time
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: than I count. You're your own science experiment, period the end.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of stuff that I do
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: that will work for you, just so much of it.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: But you're not me, So there's things that I do
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: that might not work for you.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Is coming in. I hate to cut you short. You know,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: someone's getting themselves ready.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: It's gone. Well, that's awesome. Oh yeah, I don't think
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: he realizes rely already.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: No, No, he does. Well, you know, like I said,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: he he'll figure it out real quick.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, look over it's a big boy. Yeah, heaven

• 15:53
  Speaker 4: right on the side of the river. It overlooks the
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: Grand Old Opry, so it's a beautiful skyline. Man thought
• 16:00

• 16:03

  Speaker 3: kind of madning going and picking out a ring, isn't it. Yeah.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Well, the funny thing is that she designed the whole thing,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: and she designed it, and then with the jeweler, I
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: paid for it, and then I had him ship it
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: to me unbeknownst to her, like he was actually in
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: on it.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: It was funny because he was in on it and
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: he was pretty much telling her like, yeah, there's there's
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: there's parts of it that haven't come in yet and
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: I haven't been able to assemble the ring yet, just
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: giving her the run around so that way she thinks
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: that I don't have it and it works, like Aron.

  Speaker 3: And you just let everybody know what happened with that?
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Peck's doing really good. I don't know if you can
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: see this or not, but.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: It's healing up quite nice.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah's So this week I was able to overhead
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: press one thirty five strict press.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: On a barbell. Okay, so that's nice.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Back to deadlifting this week, I hit two seventy five
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: for nine sets of ten.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: That was awful. So but yeah, I'm.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Slowly working my way back up, slowly working my way
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: back into things.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I think by.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: I want to say in the next four ish three
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: to four ish weeks is when I can start doing
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: some like the movements of strong man stuff.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Again, like an empty log and stuff like that.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: So I'm excited for that.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Everybody, including my coach Nico, my surgeon, my PT everybody
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: thinks that I'm ahead of schedule with healings.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: So that's awesome.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm doing what I do best. I feel like Wolverine.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, that's awesome. But you're still being patient with
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: it too, You're not just jumping back to.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's the hardest part for me. The hardest
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: part for me obviously is just like, I feel good,
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: so I want to start getting back into lifting some weights,
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: and I'm with my training partner when he's lifting heavy
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: and I'm just like, I'm missing that itch, like I'm
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: not able to scratch it, and it's agitating the hell
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: out of me. But I'm being good. I'm not pushing it.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: I'm not rushing it. The things that are are done
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: behind the scenes is what people don't really like. Everybody's
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: always like, oh, I've been to heals so fast. He
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: heals like unrealistically fast. It's crazy. But they don't see
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: the behind the scenes stuff. I mean, I'm doing pep
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: tides twice day every single day. Travis shout out to
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Travis Ortemeier for that. He gave me a really really
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: solid program to follow. I'm doing peptide twice a day,
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: I'm doing PT three times a day, whether I go
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: to the clinic or not. So I have my bands,
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: I have my light, dumbbells, I have everything that I
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: do for physical therapy here, and I do it two
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: to three times every single day. So I'm I'm like
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: most people go, I'll go, I'll go to pt UH
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: two or three times a week and that'll be all
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: It's like, you know, I'm doing it three times a day.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's because I want to.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I want to come back as safely and as smart,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: but as fast as possible.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Correct, correct, And that's I think people don't get that
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: A lot about rehab is Oh, I'll just do it
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: these couple of days like I'm supposed to. It's like
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: rehab is something it's every day, it's all the time.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: It's you're you're trying to constantly improve. But some if
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: it's resting, some of its motion, some of it's just
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: getting blood flowing through the area through light movement, and
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: it makes a massive difference on the way you heal,
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: and you'll heal a lot faster, but you still have
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: to even though you're feeling better, you still got to
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: keep the brakes on and keep from just accelerated. Yeah,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: you got to wait till it's good to go. But
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: you're doing a really good job of that. You're having
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: a lot of patience with it. So it's I like
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: to think, so, no, you are. It's it's showing that
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: we're watching.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: Well the PEC tendon tear and surgery to reattach it is.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: That's that's kind of up there on the more serious
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: of injuries. And I don't know if Nico was saying
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: it's just to kind of instill that like, yeah, we
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: need to take this rehab seriously or not. But Nico
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: mentioned at one point like, if you try to come
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: back too early and it reruptures, potentially it could end
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: your entire straw Man career.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: And that was whether that's true or not, that was
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: enough to kind of make me open my eyes a
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: little bit and be like, Okay, I should really take
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: this one seriously.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, agreed, And he did really good. I've been
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: explaining to you that way. I mean, that's sometimes it's
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: that type of explanation that will get you to go ooh, yeah,
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: this isn't. This isn't.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: That's that's just one of the reasons why I love
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: working with Nico so much is he's a no sugarcoat,
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: no bullshit kind of guy.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: But I do if I do.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Something really well in the gym, he'll give me my
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: flowers and he'll praise me. But if I at any
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: point do something stupid or I make a mistake, he's
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: not going to be afraid to be like, dude, what
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: the fuck are you doing? We talked about this, You're
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: not supposed to be doing dumb shit like that. So
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: and I think that I need a coach in my
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: face a little bit, like I thrive off of that.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: So I like to think that I'm somebody who operates
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: well under pressure. So having that pressure put on me
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: makes me perform better and keeps my mind straight.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: I'll agree with that. Yeah, No, that's that's awesome. That's
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: exactly what you need. So that's good. That's good. I
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: had an ingronbal hernia at one time, and the doctor
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: was kind of like, Okay, look, I don't want you
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: to lift weights for four months. Oh, he goes.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, Oh.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: I was like four months. He's like four months, he goes,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: here's the problem. I'm like, okay. He's like, where I'm
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: doing this surgery, A lot of the nerves to your
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: unit penis are run right along that area, and it's
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: the same color as the scar tissue. So if I
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: have to fix this, there's a fifty to fifty chance
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I'll hit one of the nerves to and you won't
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: feel half your your unit anymore. Oh dude, I took that.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: We had extremely serious, you know well. And the funny
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: thing is is when I went back to the gym,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: He's like, I want you to lift light and the
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: moment you feel it, I want you to leave. I'm like, okay,
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: you got it. So I go back to the gym.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: At four months. He just happens to be at the
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: gym that day, doctor Y. Of course, doctor y. Yeah,
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, hey, what are you doing here? He's like,
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know, just came to work out at Golds
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: today because it was the Golds at Lake Meeting Buffalo,
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: which is now US but back in the day. I'm like, okay, cool.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: So I go and I start warming up and then
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: I end up squatting like five hundred for two sets
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: of ten. He's like, I told you to go light.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: I go.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: I just did two sets of ten that was light.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: He's just like shaking his head. And then I went
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: and did a couple more exercises, but I didn't feel anything.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: It didn't bother me at all. Right, Well, then I
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: went to the leg press and I put about six
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: plates on each side, just to see what it would
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: feel like. And I started bringing it down and I
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: fell this abdominal pres I racked it, just picked up,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: and he's like, what youre doing? I go going home.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: He's like, you're going home. I'm like, you told me
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: if I feel it to leave, well, I'm going home.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: I got on the leg press, started bringing it down,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: stopped it, racked it right where it was at, didn't
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: bring it down any lower, and didn't push it up,
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: unloaded the machine, and now I'm going home. He's like, okay,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: well I feel better about this. I'm like, Gould too.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean he's got to be like, okay,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: well he is actually listening to me this.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Night, right right, okay? Which I did, And it took
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: about another but another nine months to get back to
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: where I could just go full throttle without even having
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: any fear of thinking about it anymore. And then then
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: once I got to that point, then I really started
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: turning the screws back up on my training, and you know,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: I knew it, knew everything was gonna be fine. Bench
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Press was kind of interesting because you have to put
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: your feet back and lean back and that puts a
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: lot of stress in that area you're abdomen, And first
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: couple of times I was yeah, yeah, I was like, oh,
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: I gotta be careful with this for a while. So
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: it's rehab. It's one of those things where if you're
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: smart with it, you're gonna come back stronger than youwhere before.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Your body's gonna get a little bit of a rest
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: as well, So your body's going to come back just
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: as strong, if not stronger than it was before because
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: you just gonna be a little fresher, that's all. Yeah,
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: So you're doing a good job, kid. I like it.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Trying to do that whole growing up thing that everybody
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: keeps telling me to do.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Well, whether you like it or not, it ends up
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: happening because I didn't think I was ever going to
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: grow up all the way and still kind of not,
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: but mean, I'm getting there do things a little smarter
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: than I used to, So it's good fair enough. Yeah,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: once you get the experience enough you're like, you guys,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: go ahead and do that. I'll be over here watching.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: And then they're like oh, and you're like, yeah, that's
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: why I didn't want to do that, but it's good stuff.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: While I was just having that conversation not too long
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: ago with with somebody long story short, I think it
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: was not this year, but last year at World Strongest Man.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: You know how they come up to you with cameras
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: all the time, just on the spot interviews about random.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: And they said, the context of this one was so.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Evan a lot of people making their World Strongest Man
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: debut this year. How do you feel as being one
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: of the veteran athletes being here for six years in
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: a row and that that just fucking hit me like
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: a truck. I was just like, when did I become
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: one of the veteran athletes?
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Exactly exactly.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: That shit sneaks up on you. I did not see
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: that coming.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, it's it's kind of nuts. It's just
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: you don't realize it. Like by the time I got
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: to like my fifth or sixth one, I was experiencing
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: the same things, except for I was like forty seven.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: It's just like you know, at forty one, you're like,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: you're you're kind of a rookie coming into the thing,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: and you're like, okay, I'm an old rookie. Here we go.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I know what it feels like. I get it.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: It's a funny feeling though, isn't it. It's wild.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: It's also wild just to hear somebody else bring up
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: how long you've been doing it at the World's Strongest Man.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: Because after the interview was done, obviously I fucking licked
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: my wounds a little bit because I was like feeling
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: old as shit.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: But I was also just thinking to myself.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Like, wow, I've been a World Strongest Man for six
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: years now. That's wild. Yeah, it's doing pretty good really,
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: And when you think about it, there's only eight guys
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: that have done it ten times. Yeah, that's super fun. Stultman.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Last year Luke was Luke. Last year Luke was Luke's
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: tenth year, he became the tenth on the eighth guy. Yeah,
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: I was the seventh guy. Oh I did not know that. Yeah,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: that one, you're your first one was my last one
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: in two twenty.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: Yes, I remember that one because they brought you in.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: I remember like like just hanging out with you a
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: little bit, just bullshitting and you were like, yeah, I'm
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: just here hanging out and all of that, and then
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: like the next day you were like, yeah, the day
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: asked me to jump.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: In, So here we go. I'm here exactly, no prep time,
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: no nothing, just jump in and go. But I mean,
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: it's it's it's interesting how that happens, and all of
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: a sudden, it's like, wow, that's my tenth one, and like, yeah,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: you're the seventh person to do that. There have only
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: been six people before that that have gotten ten in,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: so you got four years to to be number number.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: No, I'll definitely be I'm definitely gonna hit because I
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: have this conversation all the time, and obviously people's people's
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: opinions on certain things change as they get older, they
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: have more experiences and everything like that. And I've always
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: said that I wanted to get as many World's Strongest
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: Man wins as possible. That's still that's still a thing
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: for me. Like I could get a really big, like
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: movie role or a role in a popular TV show
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: like Thorn did, But I'm still not I'm not done
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: with strong Man yet. I still got a lot of
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: years left in me before my body really starts telling
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: me not to stop.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: Well, and.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Like I've said this.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Many, many, many times now, I just I want to
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: be remembered as one of the best, and I have
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: a lot more titles to win and I have a
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: lot more stuff to do in the sport before I
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: can actually honestly claim that, So I'm not going anywhere
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: anytime soon.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, you're the current strongest man on Earth. I am, Yeah,
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: I am. It's pretty freaking cool.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: That was the first of many world titles that I
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: play on winning.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: And it was crazy to see you win too, because
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: we were just all sitting there, like, man, it's happening
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: right in front of us, having that front row seat.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty cool. Oh man, that was. That was
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: very proud of that. Thank you, like.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: You you We we've got a really good relationship and.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: You know how much that Oh yeah, thank you for that. Absolutely.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: That was.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: That was the day that I will definitely never forget
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: my first World Strongest, my first world level title.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, and that's you never forget your first That's
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: a hard freaking show too.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: That's any show.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a hard and like I always.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: Tell people when whenever there's the debate about World's Strongest Man,
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: Strongest Man on Earth, Arnold, all of that, there's always
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: the eight of which one's more important to win, and
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: the argument is usually always the same. World's Strongest Man
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: is the title, but Strongest Man on Earth is the
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: hardest show to win.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, mm hmmm.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: So and like going into that, like there's like that,
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: there was that that sentiment built around me where it's
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: like I thrive more in the moving and athletic events
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: instead of the static strength events. So Smoe probably is
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: last on the list for me to win. I'm probably
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: built a little bit better for World Strongest Man or
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: the Rogue or one of those competitions.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: But for me to go in and win.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: The statically like the fucking heavy heavy show, mm hmm.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: That just that was that was the exact moment for
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: me where it was like, if I can win this show,
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: I can win fucking anything.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Nick's always had the belief in you. You know, It's
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: something that he says all the time. It's like Evan
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: is there. He just needs a few little details to
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: shine himself up and then bam, it's gonna fucking happen
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna see it.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm yep.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: And I think that back at Strongest Span.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: On Earth is only the beginning because that was the
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: first real competition where I had my awesome gym setup
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: at Gym five. That's where I had Kate backstage, I
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: had my now fiance backstage, I had my new coach
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: backstage with me, like every Nathan Peyton was backstage. Like
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: everything was just falling into place, and everything that I needed,
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: like to perform at my absolute best, was was with me.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: So I think that once I'm back to full health
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: and full recovery and I'm back to competing, I think
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: we're gonna see a new player in the game. As
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: far as who's the most dominant and strong man right now,
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: it's it's a toss up between Hooper and Tom Staltman
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: and Thor and I'm looking to add my name to
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: that list when I'm back to full health.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for sure, it's gonna be It's gonna be
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: fun to watch. It's it's gonna be kind of interesting
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: because you're also developing a short memory, which is pretty
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: cool because what was the worst event you had at
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Schmoll Probably the stones.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I would say probably the stones just because
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: they were so fucking slippery.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Right, But did you like mentally lose it after that
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: or did you come back and attack the next event
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: and get through it. No? I did not attack the
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: next event. You had a short memory, and that's the
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: thing you've been lacking. Yep, that's one of the major
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: things you want.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna give credit where credit is due. One thing.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: And this just goes back to what I was saying
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: earlier about Nico, how he's like he is a presence
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: a mindset that I need to help perform.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: To the fullest of my ability.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: Because before both competition days, the night before he came
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: to my hotel room and we sat in the like
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: the little living space area of the hotel room, and
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: we literally created a game plan for every single event,
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: Like every single event.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: We knew what I needed to hit, what I needed
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: to make up.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: Points on, what I needed to kind of pull the
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: reins back a little bit on, and then what I
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: needed to just fucking go for. So going into the
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: events with that mindset of like what I need to
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: hit and when was very beneficial.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Very yeah, and it showed and it was brilliant the
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: way at work.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: So oh yeah, I couldn't have worked out better.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: No, it was good, and I would have gone.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: Into day two first in first place if the stones
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: weren't slippery.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: But conversation for another day going in.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter how you go inditay too. It matters
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: where you finish at the end of day two. That
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: is very true, and it's very true.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: The only thing that matters is me and Andrea were
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: able to love that forty seven pound trophy through the airport.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: I still can't get over that. I'm I'm so happy
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: that Lucas Hatton, who got second. I'm so happy that
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: he was like, let's let's wears our trophies up with
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: one arm. And I just remember in my head going,
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: I don't fucking want to. I'm so tired. First and
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: second of all, this trophy's heavy as shit, so I
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: don't know if you're going to be able to lift
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: it over my head with one arm. But we did
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: it for the photo off and it's a great picture.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: I love the picture. I'm glad that we did it,
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: but I just remember afterwards, I was like, fuck, that
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: was a heavy trip.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: See, I cannot wait to see you compare that one
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: to the one of the.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: Because both how heavy is the one the Arnold comparatively
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: pretty close?
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: They're both like.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because the Arnold Bronze isn't.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: It's it's yeah, Well, I I look forward to winning my.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: First Arnold because I think having a Luis or Trumphy
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: would be pretty cool. Yeah, it would be very cool.
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: But Jesus Christ, well, it's also the Arnold's not going
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: to be fucking eight events and the heaviest events in
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: the world, so I might have a little bit more energy.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: After the cops over.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: You'll probably be able to pick that one up over
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: your head. I think, Yeah, after the show's over, that's awesome.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: That's totally awesome. So how's shooting going.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Shooting is going good.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: I'm finally back to being able to hold my weapons
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: because obviously because of surgery and rehad I remember once
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: I think I was five weeks maybe five weeks post surgery,
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: I went to the gun range. I was having a
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: rough day, a lot of stuff on my mind. I
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: just wanted to blow off some steam. I wasn't going
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: for any kind of tactical training transitions, any of that.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: I just wanted to blow off some steam and I
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: could barely hold my arm up to stabilize my pistol,
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: and I knew that the rifle was gonna be worse.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: So after like maybe twenty minutes of trying, I just
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: gave up, and I was just like, I just packed
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: it up and went home because I knew I wasn't
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: ready for it yet. But I'm able to shoot now,
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: so that's nice. I've still got my my duty staccato
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: p and my Market Daniel Defense Mark eighteen is my
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: weapon of choice.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: I recently got that engraved. It's got a little t
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Rex skull on it.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: Now, so that's pretty cool. That's awesome.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Oh and then I have I have.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: A lot of fun with my M six team with
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: the two H three grenade launcher on it. That one's
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: that one's probably my favorite fun gun that that shit
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: is still because whenever I take that to the range,
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: they obviously they see me pull out a fucking twenty
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: two inches fucking M sixteen with a great launcher on it.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: I get a lot of looks from the random casual
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: people that go in there just for fun or like vacationers,
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: do you think?
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: And then I put I put this in it.
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and then that's it's funny because I'll always catch
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: the guys working at the RSMs that are working in
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: the range, I'll always catch them laughing once I once
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: I pull one hundred round drum out because they know
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: what's coming.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh god, that's hilarious. That's fun. But uh, you
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: go to You're gonna go to the shot show this year?
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: I might Actually, I'm not doing anything around the Arnold time.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: When is a shot show this year? It's like the
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: third week of January. It's like January eighteenth.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: I might go.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Honestly, Yeah, I might go check it out.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you should do that because I'll be there.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: That's a good point. Wouldn't be interested in getting the
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: shot flu shot show flu. But yeah, you'll be fine.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: It's not that it'll be fine. And then uh yeah,
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: my Barrett's getting engraved. So that's gonna be very nice.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: You were telling me a little bit about that. That's
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: gonna be so cool when that's finally done. I want pictures.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll get them. I'll send you the text of
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: the layout and the drawings and stuff. I got it.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: I gotta hell yeah it takes that to the guys
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: at Barrett too, so they see it. So maybe you
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: can get that into the shot show.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: Well, that's gonna be. That's gonna be my gift to
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: myself after my next big win is I want to
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: I want to Barrett. Yeah, I really won't want one. Well,
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: I would be so much fun.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: If if Jeremy gets it done in time, we can,
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: uh we can go out and shoot it. I'm down
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: take it out in the desert. I'm down go shoot
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: it a little bit. That'll be fun. Hell yeah, good stuff.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: So I think that'll be pretty fun and pretty exciting
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: and just go walk around that place with you and
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: be a lot of fun. We we definitely have a
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: good lot of fun, especially if we can uh manage
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: to go with Jeremy, because Jeremy like knows everybody. He
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: knows where to go stuff like that, because he does
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: He's done all the engraving for nearly everything, because he
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: owns a Dark Lion's Customs, and I just know so
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: many people. It's so much fun going with him because
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: you you end up meeting the head of all the
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: companies and stuff like that, and all these people that
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: are like big in the industry and stuff. It's pretty neat.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: It's a it's a great experience to go go see
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: and go doua no place you could probably stay.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Mhm yeah, I think I know, I think I know.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, won caution nothing.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: So that's always that's the best part.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: What are you gonna make your way out to Nashville? Uh, well,
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: that's a little bit of a story. I will tell
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: you off camera. But it looks like I'll be happy
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: to go down to Irvine soon. So okay, So there's
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: been a change there and so that's where that's where
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: the lacrosse will be played, gotcha. So it's gonna be
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: pretty cool.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: What are your plans for the Arnold coming up?
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: Mhm.
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: Me and Nico both agreed, and like with my surgeon
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: and everything like that, we all agreed that I'm I'm
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: not going to be physically healed up and ready for
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: the Arnold. I've been talking to SBD and a couple
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: of my sponsors to see if they wanted me to
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: come out.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: I would.
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: I would like my traveling hotel to be taken care of.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: I'm going to make the trip out there. Otherwise I
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: can stay here and just try and clients and make money,
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: especially if I'm not competing. I brought up the idea
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: of doing the animal cage because Nico wanted to He
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: wanted to finally deadlift a thousand pounds in the animal cage. Yeah,
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: or I think that's what he's going for. And I
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: was like, I'll come do it with you if I'm
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: guilt fast enough. And then we I remember Nico messaged
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: my surgeon and he gave him a long paragraph and
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: like like a couple of paragraphs about how cool it
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: would be, awesome opportunity.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: He thinks, I'll be physically ready. What do you think?
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: And then the surgeon just responded back, are you.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah? So I was just like, fuck, all right, it's okay.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: But yeah, as far as my plans for the Arnold
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: at this exact moment right now, I don't have plans
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: to be there.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: That's good.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Well, let's take a little bit of a pivot. One
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: of the things that we like to do on the podcast.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: On the podcast is we actually cover movies that we
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: have just recently seen and also TV shows. So is
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: there anything that you've seen recently that's caught your eye?
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: You want to give a rating on this podcast for.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, so this is coming from somebody who is a huge,
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: huge fan of the Predator franchise. I fucking love the
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: Predator movies. I like Predator one and two. I thought
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: Predators was good. I thought the Predator never should have
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: been made.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: Okay, it was that.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen Killer of Killers yet on Duler.
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: But yeah, so I'm a big fan of the Predator
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: series and like I've done the deep dive into the
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: lore and the backstory and like all the entire world
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: that's been created around the science character.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: It is very because I'm also a big avid comic
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: book reader. And my favorite, you know, and just just
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: you know, just a little plug is the Old Man
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Dutch series where it's arch Senegger. You know what I'm saying.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: It shows what happened after and it goes very in depth,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: and that's my favorite portion there.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: Right. Okay, So.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: With all of that being said, I thought that the
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: new Predator bad Lands. I thought it was a good movie.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: It was easy to watch, it was full of action,
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: it was easy to follow.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: Uh, this is the part that might be controversial.
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: It was a terrible Predator movie. It was a good
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: movie for entertainment value, but as a Predator movie.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: It was fucking tell.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: That's a statement that's not controversial in my opinion, because
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: it was a great movie and the crazy and the
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: reason I know it was a great movie because I
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: took my wife to go watch it with me, and
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: she absolutely hates any movie that I want to go see,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: but so I get what she gets when she watched it.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: When we walked out, she's I really like that. I'm like,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: oh man, they're really appealing to everybody.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yep.
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: Andrea said the exact same thing. She's never seen any
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: of the other Predator movies. And I was like, this
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: is a science fiction movie that I.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: Really want to go see.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: It's a long fucking sequel whatever. And she was like,
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: all right, I'll.
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: Come with you.
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: You want to see it, so I'll come with She
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: watched it. She actually liked it too. And it's funny
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: because I swear to God, multiple times throughout me watching
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: the movie, something would happen on screen and I would
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: look at her and go, this is such a fucking
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: Disney movie.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: That's funny.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: This is such a Disney movie.
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: It was It was like a buddy cop.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Movie exactly what it was. It was a Buddy cock movie,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: you know what it was. You had the serious you
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: know za, you had Danny Glover, Martin Riggs, and that's
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: just what it was.
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, kind of like Tron areas great standalone movie.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: If you didn't see the rest of the Tron, if
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: you saw the first twos, you're like, what the hell
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: is this? You know, yeah, okay, you know, but stand
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: alone by itself, it was actually a pretty good movie.
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: It really was the the things that they did with it,
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: with the AI and being able to just make the
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: make the programs into people, and make the tanks and
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: all the other the cycles and all the other things
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: from the computer world and make them in the in
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: the reality and then them But they only had like
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: twenty nine minutes that they could survive, and they were
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: looking for the permanent code twenty minutes. Yeah, they can
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: stretch it. But so it's kind of the premise of
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: the movie, which which is what I just told you,
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: but had really no real tie in other than a
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: little bit where Aries ended up going into the first
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: like Tron computer and talking with you know, the Flint,
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: like the Flint program that's in there. He ended up
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: talking to what is you know, Flint and getting the program,
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: getting the thing from him. But other than that, it
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: wasn't there wasn't a whole lot of ties to the
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: last two movies, you know, other than the news perfect article,
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: which was kind of disappointing. But it was a good
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: standalone film. If I had never seen the other two
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: movies and watched that, I would have liked it.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I agree with that too, because it was
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: great movie. But if you've never seen the yeah, it's
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: it's good to just on its own. And you know,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Jared Little gets a lot of shit, but you know,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: I think he did extremely well.
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, well he Jared Lett is an interesting choice
• 48:04
  Speaker 6: considering the last two very well known roles that he had,
• 48:09
  Speaker 6: being Joker and more Bush.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you could argue that he deserves it.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: You might at least have one good one out there,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: you know what I say, You're eventually gonna get get
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: a little nugget out there.
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: Well. I liked him in the Lord of War with
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: I liked him in that movie. He did a good job. Yeah.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: I've actually seen him perform with his band uh live
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: one time, and uh, you know, not my not my
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: cup of music, but he was the closing act of
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: a festival.
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: So mm hm cool.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people thinket he used to be
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: in a band.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: In the series, Ben and I like, all of a sudden,
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: out of nowhere, just got into because it's what in
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: the third season now, yeah, thurd or fourth was Mobland.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: We just started to watch a model and out of
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: the blue.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: It is a watch I'm talking about at Oh yeah.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: Well it's it's pretty it's pretty darn good. It's a
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: good watch. And it's lots of plots and plot twists
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: and turns and stuff like that. It's it's pretty good.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: It's every day is a cliffhanger. Every episode cliffhanger period.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: It's just like.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: Each one. Yeah, so it's it was well something that
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: I rewatched.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: I rewatched this at.
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: Least two times a year just because I love the
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: show so much. Is Spartacus. That's cool, Love Spartacus. That's
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: actually where this tattoo, This tattoo came from a monster
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: given breath by necessity to go. That's one of the
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: lines in the in the in the show, I'll just
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: randomly just randomly get the thought, it seems Spartacus in
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: a while that show and then I'll put it on and.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: Then I just I end up watching all four seasons.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: I believe that Lucy Lawless is in that and it's
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: the only reason I watched it.
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: M I believe you.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: That's fair.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: So now I got another show I got to sit
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: and watch because I haven't.
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: Seen you've never seen Spartacus. Oh, it's so fucking good.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: A lot of sex and nudity.
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: And a lot of violence. Game of Thrones it's worse,
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot of I I like Spartacus because
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: the story is enticing. The acting is very well done,
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: but obviously like it's it's fucking violent, and there's a
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: lot of sex.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: Scenes in it.
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: And there's a lot of like betrayal and like different
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: branches that the story Wine Branch is off of, and
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: there's other subplots going on.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: It's really really cool.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: I like it. I thought it was a great show,
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: You know, out a recommendation out there because we just
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: talked about Tom Hardy. He did a TV show. I
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: want to say, it's on Peacock. It's called Taboo. And
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: uh if this takes place like in the old entire
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: like uh like the the like trying to think of
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: the I can't even think. It was like Chris Christopher
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Columbus times and like exactly, yeah, and uh, it was
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: so intense. It's one season. It's one of those shows
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: you watch it like there's no way there's only one
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: season of this. This is two fucking good and yet
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: it's only one season. It's old. It's like, uh, probably
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: like five years old.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, Yeah, it's so good.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: It is so good Taboo if you can find it
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: with Tom Hardy, it's a hell of a wht it
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: because it starts off crazy and then the last episode
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: is just where season two it's it's literally like it
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: was lightning and a but to me it was lightning
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: in a bottle. Was that good? I'm like, god, damn, that.
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: Was so I'm looking forward to holand what I'm looking
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: forward to Henry cavill as Connor McLeod in Holander. That's
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: that could be pretty good.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: Well, you're supposed to have Baptista, they said, I.
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: Don't know.
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: It was you know, is too small. It's too small.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Now it's gonna be awkward shots the strongest.
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: That's not He's not gonna be able to say that
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: line because Henry Candles as he is.
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, cavill dwarfs Batista now yeah, I mean maybe when
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: Batista was too nice.
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: Right, I don't see how he could be the Kurgan
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: because well.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: See, and that's the thing is the bigger guy right
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: now is Al And you know what, I'm the guy
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: who's playing Reaching right now. That's the only big guy.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: He's the only big guy in Hollywood right now. And
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying that like, that's the that
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: that's the only person I can imagine you know, maybe
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: attempting that role.
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: Enough to yeah, for sure.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: Or unless they just get that the guy that huge
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: ass bodybuild, a guy who's been killed all the roles
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: The Dutch Girey. Yeah, I got to meet him out
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: in Malta.
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: He's a really cool he's really nice.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: He did any you guys see the street really nice.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: The street Fighter picture of the because the new Street
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: Fighter movies is getting ready to come out, and he
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: did a group picture and this guy is standing with
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: everybody and everyone's below his chest. Was like, I was like,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: what is going on here?
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah? That'll probably actually end up being pretty good too.
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm looking forward to that because this is
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: obviously just they've released one trailer, so you can't get
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: too in depth into it, but I'm looking forward to
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: that because that just strikes me as the way that
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: they're shooting it.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: They know what they are. They're not trying to be
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: something else.
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: It's not going for like an award like, it's going
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: to be a street fighter movie, and I respect that.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the characters, the characters that they've posted are two
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: to a game characters, you know what I'm saying. And
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: right off top, you got Cody Rhoades, you got and Schultz.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. There was a few other ones. Yeah,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: they got and uh and uh and not even Roman Reigns.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: But they also have a fucking Aquaman himself. Fucking uh
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: oh Jason. Yeah, there we go, you know what I'm saying. Like,
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: so I'm all in because, just like you said, it's
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: not portraying anything else but what it's supposed to be.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: At least that's the way.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: It looks, which is kind of nice for a change.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's a big I want less reality and
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: more movie, you know what I'm saying.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, two seconds, I'm.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: Close this doorm all right, Okay, here we go.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: M Yeah, but you know, like I said, it's it's
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: claiming that it's it looks like it's gonna be. You know,
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: we hopefully this is a new trend of like actual
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: movies and not fucking like I need all this propaganda shit.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: I just want something that can get lost in right.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: Oh that's the.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: Kiss.
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: I want to go see movies and be entertained and
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: be taken out of the propaganda bullshit for a while.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: And a perfect example of this is the Show of
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: the Boys.
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, loved that fucking show.
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: I was so into that fucking show. I was an
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: avid fan.
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: Every single the day it comes out, I'm watching that
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: fucking episode. And by season four it just got so
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: fucking political. And then when the director, I think the
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: director was called out on it. He essentially said, if
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: you don't like it, don't watch my show.
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: And it's just like nobody did.
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And then he saw the ratings went from like
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: the ratings were literally it was like a ninety four
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: on Rotten Tomatoes and went all the way down to
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: like sixty two. Kindly because everybody downloaded it, because you're
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: shitting on your audience. They're saying Hey, can you not
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: make this so fucking political. We like the show and
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: we want to keep watching it, but what you're doing
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: to it kind of sucks. And he pretty much told
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: everybody to go fuck themselves, watch something else.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: That's what they That's exactly what they did. And I've
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: been at boys.
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: Thing.
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, they they screwed Henry.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: You know, I did watch the last season of The Witcher.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: It's good, but it's not as good as it would
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: have been, right, you know what I mean? It would been.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: It would have been ten times more enjoyable if it
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: would have been Henry Kevell, really, because that's what I
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: love about when he takes a role. He likes to
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: stick to the lord. He's a fifty k a fucking
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: you know, reading comic books, understanding playing the games, and
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: it's like, I want to be as true as to
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: this as it can be, because that's aunticity that that fans.
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: Want, right, That's what made the story in the first
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: that's what made it popular in the first place.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I agree.
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: I agree. It's just it's insane.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying that we're starting to
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: get a slow polar shift, so hopefully we're starting to
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: get the kind of stuff that we want. I want.
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: I want Buddy Kott Buddy Cott movies. I want comedy,
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: and I want fucking real action.
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I want unapologetically ridiculously high levels of testosterone action.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: I want movies like fucking Commando and Predator. I want
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: ship like that and come back. Yes, that's what I want, exactly.
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: I agree that good to be men exactly.
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: I want. I want the NFL to have defensive hitting again.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: I want the Raiders to do that. All right, that's
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: what I want.
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: I'll take your word on that. I'll take it a
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: step further.
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: I think that we should allow football players and anybody
• 58:56
  Speaker 4: playing professional sports, especially contact sports. They're going to get
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: paid millions of dollars. I want to juice them to
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: the gills.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: I agree with that, savement we but aren't.
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: You concerned that they're gonna die at fifty They're gonna
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: die a fucking half a billion dollars richer than I am,
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: and they're playing a fucking game for a living. Yeah,
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: juice them into their fucking.
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: Eyeballs for all. Like there, I want to see a
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: three and ninety.
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: I don't even like football but I'll start watching it
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: if they start doing that. I just want to I
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: want to see somebody get nineteen ninety seven. WCW. Goldberg spears, Yeah,
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: when when I'm playing, when I'm watching football, that's what
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: I want to see.
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: The thing is is those with fantasy football and the
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: gambling and everything else, it kind of like soften the
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: they use the concussions and the protocol and stuff like that.
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: The reason why there's free agency and they make so
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: much money is because the old age, the previous age
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: of an NFL football player their life inspects team is
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: like fifty three years, and so when they get done
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: playing football, their body's kind of broken. They can't do
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: much of anything. So the goal was to get them
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: to where they would make enough money where they didn't
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: have to do anything for the rest of their life.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: Or they've been making that money for a long long time.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: And the problem is is they weren't A large percentage
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: of them weren't really smart with the money, and they
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: didn't save it, they didn't invest it in the health
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: insurance or any of the things they need to do
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: to take care of themselves. And then the NFL didn't
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: take care of me either. So that's kind of the problem.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: But the sport needs to get back to what the
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: sport made the sport popular in the first place. Is
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: there's never going to be another like Lalaozato. There's never
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: going to be another Matt Millen or Jack Lambert or
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: Dick bud kiss yep, you know, or so many other
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: like Ronnie Lott. You know guys that would just John Lynch,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: the general manager of the forty nine ers. There's never
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: going to be another one of those players that were
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: just intimidating. Okay, go ahead, go it for the ball.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: I would love to see these wide receivers and stuff
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: now play in that era because.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: They couldn't see Tom Brady playing that era. And well
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: he did last.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: He started it. He started in that era. So he
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: did play in that era a little bit.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: He was righting, he was right, he was right in
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: the back bench, and then it slowly phased out right
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: as he got in.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: Well, it phased out when he heard his knee. So
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: he had a couple of four or five years with
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: it at at the old school Way, and then he
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: got his knee taken out on a sack and they
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: started making the rules where he couldn't hit the quarterbacks anymore.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: And then But I think with fan duel and all
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: the fantasy football leagues that only care about the offensive numbers,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: they they just have kind of ruined the game the
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: where the old game used to be. It's it's sad, Yeah,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: I really do well.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: It's something else that always like around.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 4: It's along those lines that always kind of pisses me
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: off is when people have the Lebron James versus Michael
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: Jordan debate.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: Oh, there's no debate.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: It's just like I watched basketball when I was younger,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: I watched Michael Jordan.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: I watched Michael Jordan. Honestly, when Michael Jordan left, I
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: stopped watching basketball. But you can't.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: You can't compare the two one because Jordan and his
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: fucking rings. Yea a, but be the time periods that
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: they played in completely fucking depletely. They were playing fucking
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: street ball back in the day that ship was contacts
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: or nowadays. You Lebron fucking falls over and calls a
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 4: foul every time someone sees it.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: And looks for the yeah, yeah, it turns around, is
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: like just begging for the You can't compare the two
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: just Jordan just sliced through everybody. I think the pistons
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: used to try like kill him. I swear to God,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: the prisons would just do anything they could possibly to
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: stop him, and he still go right through him and score. Anyway,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: he dropped fifty sixty on them. So it's kind of
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: like until you can do that when they're not getting
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: penalties all over the place and they're not getting fouls
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: and they're just man up and play, you know, yeah,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: which he hasn't done and he hasn't had well.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: Well, there's that saying where like Lebron can go to
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: a team and he can play well with a bad team.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: If Jordan goes to a team, he's going to make
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: that entire team good.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: Exactly agreed, Exactly agreed to me.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: It's Jordan just had that loss who actually get pushed
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: to a settlement with the F one so they let
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: you know that he's taking his mentality into F one
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: sued F one, and then F one was forced into
• 1:03:57
