• 0:25
  Speaker 2: you know, first thing... Never heard of you guys. But,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: we always like to dive straight into fan life. And
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: when you join the Patreon, you get to ask questions. So,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: you know, you, you joined the tier, you can be
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: part of the group chat and, you know, you ask
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: a good question, you can get an answer.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And then we can keep making the show too.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Makes it fiscally, makes it fiscally available.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Let's see here.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Keeps the lights on.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Question one, Nick, after everything you've been through with your
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: hips and recovery, has your definition of being strong changed? Uh, no. No.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's, it's a mindset just all the way around.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, you got to go into things with the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: right mindset period. You can go into with a weak
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: mindset or a strong mindset. So my definition of strong
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: hasn't really changed. Am I capable of doing what I
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: used to be able to do? Not yet, but I
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: will be. So I just have to stay doing what
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I do and, you know, slow methodical progress. It's, what
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: it is five, four or five months from now, which
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: will still be far less than a year after the surgery. Um,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I'll be able to have my full range of motion
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: back and I'll be able to start training heavy. And
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: will I get back to where I was? I don't know.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be 58 soon. So maybe, maybe I won't,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: but I'll find my new normal and make that as
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: strong as possible. And it's still going to be stronger
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: than most people. Yes. Anyway, so, I mean, it's going
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: about the mindset of I just want to be strong
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: my whole life and be able to go do things. And,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you know, I want to go climb up to the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: top of a mountain in Norway. I can do it.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I want to go, you know, go to the beach
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and go swimming and not be embarrassed. I can do that.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Jump into a pool, you know.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Because I'm super out of shape and out of weight.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I can do it. If I need to, you know,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: help somebody move a car out of the way because
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: it's on top of somebody for some reason. I can
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: do that. So, I mean, it's just, yeah, my definition
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of strong is not ever going to change. But the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: first thing you got to be is strong and strong
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: mentally and have the discipline to keep doing all these
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: things because it's not about getting motivated. I mean, getting
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: motivated is easy. It's staying motivated. It's having the discipline
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to do the same stuff over and over again with
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the same enthusiasm as the first time you did it.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: And that's a massive problem with people is They don't
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: have the discipline to do that. And it comes down
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to more discipline than motivation. You make a decision to
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: do it, then you've got to have the discipline to
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: carry it through. And so the word of the day
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: today so far is going to be discipline. Yeah, you
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: have to set up the programs, pre-planning and doing all
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: that other stuff, which is discipline. I mean, all these
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: things are discipline. And it's just some people can do
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: it in their heads and execute it. Some people can't.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Some people have to write it down. No matter how
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you get there, as long as you're getting it done,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: there's no right, there's no wrong. There's just what works
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: for you. And so that's a big deal in the end.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: It's a huge deal at the end. Yeah, yeah. And
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: then the rest of the question, when you look back
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: at your biggest lifts and competitions, what are you most
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: proud of today? And what keeps you motivated to continue training? Well,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I like one, what keeps me motivated to the training.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I like the process. I like actual training. I mean, to,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to get to an elite level in the world, you
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: have to, to a certain degree, enjoy the training. There's
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: some of the guys that have made it to that
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: level that don't enjoy it very much. They get there. Hey,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I got there. They got there, you know, 10 minutes
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and then they're out at the door. They go to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: really stay in last. You have to enjoy the whole process. The,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you know, Preparing your food, making sure you get the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: right sleep, putting the work in in the gym, putting
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the rest in, doing all facets of it. You've got
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: to enjoy it. And I enjoy it. So it's one
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: of those things I like to do. If you're not
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: going to reach an elite world level, you should still
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: be training three to four days a week. You know,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: get at least an hour in when you go. You
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: get three to four hours a weekend. It's better than
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: being sedentary and you will be healthier for it as
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you get older. You know, train your legs first. Train
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: your legs first. If you're doing a four day work week,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: train your legs first. That way they get the most
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: energy into the week because, you know, strong legs is
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the key to longevity. Strong legs, you know, will help
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: you live longer. So train your legs first and then
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: however you want to do the split after that is
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: however you want to do the split after that. But
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: get another two to three days in and you'll be good.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Just put the time and effort in. Why save for
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: retirement if you're not going to invest in your body?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: You've got to invest time in your body, not just money.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Money helps too. But you've got to invest the time
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: in your body. And if you don't do that, you're
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: not going to.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: No, that's the truth right there.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: You're not going to be very successful.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: That is so true.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: And then you get to retirement age, you got all
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: this money sitting in an account that you can't go
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: out and do all the things that you wanted to do.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: So the goal is to invest in yourself as well.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: So you got to do that. Some of my biggest
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: lifts that I look back on, the 870 that I
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: squatted at the US Open, that was pretty freaking cool.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: The total I did there was pretty cool. It was 22, 26.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: So that was, that was pretty cool. I did that
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: at 48. So total over a thousand kilos at 48.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: So that was pretty cool. Um, and then the, being
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the first person over 50 to deadlift 800 pounds, I
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: did eight 15. I did 21, 82 and three lifts. Um,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: it was a eight 48, a five 12, I believe.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: And then, uh, uh, eight 15 deadlifts. So, um, those
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I'm proud of those, uh, strongman wise, uh, There's so
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: many of the world records that I ended up doing
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that stand out. One is probably the first one that
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I did, which was the Farmer's Walk. I did that
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: in Iceland in a cold Alcon aluminum factory. Nobody expected it.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what it was. I was just trying
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to go as fast as I can and beat Bennett Madison.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: That was pretty... that was pretty cool. That stands out.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: And then, uh, there's like so many, uh, but I
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: think the last one that I did was in, um, uh,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Atlanta and Georgia, um, at, uh, Paul Anderson's boys home
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: where we did the carousel lift and Eddie and Brian
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: and I all did 27, 10, which beat Paul Anderson. Um,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Eddie kind of hurt his back a little bit because
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: he had the belt up a little too high. And
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: then Brian was like, I got the Arnold coming up.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I don't want to mess with this anymore. This is good.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And they let me go ahead and try another one.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I did 2791. I mean, that's still there today.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: On TV.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, on the History Channel at the same time.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: So that was pretty cool.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Those stand out a lot. I think probably the proudest
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: moments I have are the fact that I raised two
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: great kids. Yeah. More than anything in the end, at
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, that's, that's the thing that
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: makes the biggest difference in the world is if you,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you know, teach and raise good humans and, you know,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: leave the earth better than where it was when you
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: got there, that's always a good thing. And I got
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: two great kids. I mean, I really do. I can't complain.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, four, if you count Tyler and Kobe, which
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: is my ex's wife, my son's mother's older two kids. Yeah.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: They're good boys, too. So, I mean, just having a
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: positive effect on people's lives is probably the thing I'm
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: most proud of, to be quite honest with you. And
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: showing people that, you know, even if you don't have
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: as much talent as other people, you can still outwork them.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: You can outthink them. So don't just take no for
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: an answer. Go out there and work. You know, don't
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: be afraid to work hard. you know, don't be afraid
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to work harder than the next guy. It's, it's worth
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, exactly. And that's the thing too, is like
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of people don't understand. There's a lot of
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: people who are training hard and, and doing this, but
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of people who don't put a hundred
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: percent into this or a hundred percent into anything they do.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: And they just kind of get by, but you know,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the way to beat those people is you put in
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: that a hundred percent and you will always beat the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: person who's half in half out.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. And you have to understand, um, there's
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: kind of like an old philosophy and old saying is
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: if you, if you, if you really put all your
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: effort into a few things, you can probably be the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: best of the world. At least one of them, maybe
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: two or three of them. If you try to, if
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: you want to be good at a bunch of stuff, well,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: then you can be good at probably five to 10 things.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: If you're going to be average, you can be average at,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: you know, 10 to 20 things. So, do you want
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to take a pick? I decided I wanted to be,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: you know, at a world level in two different sports,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: which both involve strength training. So they weren't a far
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: reach from one to the other. Um, and I concentrated
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: on those. I concentrated on my job and I concentrated
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: on being a dad. So those are the three things
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I concentrated the most on and you get what you
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: reap what you sow.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: So exactly.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Yeah. Now, am I great at driving race cars? No.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Do I know a lot about cars? A little bit,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: but not very much. I can bend. I got questions
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: or I need help. I asked Ben, but Ben's a
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: lot better at those than I am. So, I mean, it's,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: it's just which pick it really is.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And then when you, then when you pick your friends,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: make sure you got good friends that are good.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Everyone's got good hobbies and we like to pick
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the brains about them.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: True. Very true. So, um, so I hope that answers
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: your question. Okay. Three, three to four part answer. Uh, uh, Next, hi, Mr. Best.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Happy to ask questions and hear from you. I want
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: to ask about the list of healthy food options for
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: vegetarians that were sent out. See, this has probably been
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: asked many times before, but I get lost in the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: contents and haven't caught up with everything. Also, exercise recommendations
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: for someone who doesn't like to exercise regularly. Well, as
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: far as liking and exercising regularly, fake it till you
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: feel it.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: As you get results, you'll start liking it more. You really,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: really will. And as you get into it and you
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: see your body progress, you're really going to start liking
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: it more and liking it more. It's just about going
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: through the process and having the discipline to go through
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the process. There's that D word again.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: You just got to put, you just got to put
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the work in. You really do. And you will get
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: better for it and you will begin to enjoy it more.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Will it be one of your top 10 things? No telling.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: It's what you make of it. But yeah, don't, the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: more you progress, the more you'll enjoy it. You really will.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: And one of the things I'll add in with that is,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: You know, a lot of people think exercise as in
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: just lifting weights. Well, you know, there's people who like
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: to run. There's people who like to jog. There's people
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: who like to swim. There's people who like to, you know,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: they'll go in and play an hour of basketball and
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: that could be such intense cardio. You know what I'm saying?
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: When they're playing a pickup game, you know what I'm saying?
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: A lot of times, you got to find what you like.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: And then just like Nick had said in their earlier question,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: guess what? You can get really good at that.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Um, For strength stuff, the basics, you know,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: leg day, squat and deadlift. You know, reverse them each week.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: One week, squat first. The next week, deadlift first. And
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: then do some basic exercises, leg extensions, leg curls, leg press,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: hack squat. By the end of that, you should be good.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: You know, especially at the beginning level. And no more
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: than probably 10 working sets total. So that means like
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: two work sets, two work sets, two work sets of
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: five different exercises. As far as the upper body stuff goes,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the basic stuff, bench press, incline, dips for your chest,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: shoulder press for your shoulders, side laterals, rear delts with
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the dumbbells. Those are all things that are real easy
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: to do. They're all real basic. And again, probably two
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to three sets of the military overhead press, probably two
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: to three sets of the side laterals and two to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: three sets of the rear delts, and you're good. And
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: then back and biceps, you know, bent over rows, low rows,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: lat pull-downs, pull-ups. Those basic things right there will get
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: you everything you need to do. Keep your rep range,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: you know, somewhere between Um, on the low end six
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and on the high end 15, you know, which body's
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: capable of, you're not capable of, um, doing pull-ups and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: you can only get one or two, get one or
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: two and then get a band and try to do
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: more with, with the band, get, get what you can get. Um,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and then add the band for help. So just stick basic. It's,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: it's real basic. This doesn't have to be rocket science.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: It really doesn't. I mean, some people want to make
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: it out to me. They, put all these fancy words
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: in it, you know, Oh, well the RP and this
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and like, people don't get that. They, they really don't,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just, was it difficult? Did you have
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: any left in you? Yeah. Okay. Well, turn a little
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: harder next week, you know, but you know, you should
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: be pushing to when you're done, you're done. but you
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: don't want to be so heavy that you can't move
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the next week or so hard that you can't move
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the next day, but you don't want, you definitely want
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: to know what you did the next day type of thing.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: And you just regulate your body. It's, it's, it's not,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not, it's not rocket science.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: It's really not.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: But three to four days a week at most, and
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: then just stick to basics. It's really good. And then,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: If you need to work on your heart, you know,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: 10 to 15 minutes of cardiovascular exercise, you know, after
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: it's all done, it's totally fine. Just go ride the bike.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: But don't just get on the bike and leave it
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: on level one and do your legs. Okay. Put on
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: level three, level four towards not super hard, but not
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: super easy so that you're breathing at the end of it.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: You're sweating at the end of it. The goal is
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: to put the work in, not to go there and
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: be comfortable on them. So go there and challenge yourself.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Have the discipline to do that. As far as the
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: vegetarian food goes, it depends on what type of vegetarian
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: you are. As far as protein goes, I would definitely, definitely, definitely,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: if you're the type of vegetarian that can eat eggs,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: it doesn't get much better than that for its source
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: of protein. It doesn't. You know, scramble some eggs, throw
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: some nuts in it. You know, stir it up, throw
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: in your spinach, throw in your bell peppers, throw in
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: some mushrooms. It'll taste great and it'll be really good
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: for you. If you're not, that one, I'm not real
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: sure on that because I'm not a vegetarian.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: And even with that, you know, a lot of the beans,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: there are very high protein vegetarian options.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: There's lots of high protein. The problem is they're not
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: complete proteins. Yes. Which is the biggest problem with being
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: vegan is you're not eating complete protein. Well, the eggs
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: are complete protein.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: The problem is if you can't eat the eggs, you know,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: finding the most complete protein you can and finding the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: sources of beans and some of the other stuff to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: mix together. It's a lot more work.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a lot more work.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: And then figure out how to make it taste good.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. That's it. But that'll be the biggest thing. That'll
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: be your biggest challenge with that. But if you're the
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: type of vegetarian, you can eat eggs. Eggs are probably
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: your best source of protein. It's the easiest to simulate
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: it in the body. It really is. It's one of
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the best things you can do. For a regular person,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: probably four eggs in the morning. For me, it's like
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: eight to 10 in the morning with some rice. And
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: like I said, you can throw in nuts and spinach
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and bell peppers and carrots and stuff like that and
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: stir it all up and it tastes really good. But
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: as far as the regular vegetarian stuff goes, if you
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: don't eat the eggs either, it's just going to be
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: finding a combination of your sources of protein that will
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: get you to the complete level of protein. That's why
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: it's actually important to eat vegetables. complete proteins um there's
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: probably protein powders you can get and stuff like that
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: but again you're going to the powders um yeah you
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: i mean you can get them they're designed to be
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: complete but are they going to be the greatest probably
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: not but just as far as that goes just you're
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: just going to have to do the best you can
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: i think uh next week ben and i will probably
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Get on the computer when he's here, and we'll look
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: for some options for you, and we'll give you a
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: better answer for a straight vegetarian that doesn't.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Even eat eggs.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Next week. How's that? We'll do the research and find
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: out for you.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay. And that brings us to those two questions.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: But food is a big deal, but food's a tool.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: We've got to stop treating food like a luxury thing.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: thing and start treating food like a tool. Plain and simple.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: It has a purpose. You want to eat something that's
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: palatable that you can get down and keep down, but
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: it doesn't need to be the best tasting thing in
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: the world. It just needs to be It tastes good
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: enough for you to eat. That's why I eat the hamburger,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the chicken, the salmon, stuff like that. I eat a
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: bunch of different sources of protein and a lot of
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: eggs now. I eat way more eggs now than I
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: used to because I can only eat so much red
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: meat anymore.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Especially after this last surgery, I kind of learned if
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I don't eat so much red meat, my kidney function
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: goes through the roof. which is great. It works way better.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: So it's like, okay, well I have to avoid this
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: for me. And yeah, it works way better, way better. So,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: and that's all I got to say about that. So
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: that was a bad Forrest Gump guys. I'm sorry.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Well, Evan Nana, he just won the unit classic.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: You know, so over there in Essex, you know what
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: I'm saying? He, he, he is, you know, a competitor
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: that's been on, uh, you know, the, exactly. And you know,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: he Essex England and, uh, he's been hitting the, uh,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: you know, he, he, he hits the local shows. He,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: he runs that giants live circuit and, you know, he, he,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: you know, with everything he's done, he, he's hit the
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: world's strongest man stage and, you know, and he keeps
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: hitting the big stages.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Well, you could tell even years ago, he's got a
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: lot of talent. He's absolutely willing to work. He would
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: ask anyone and everyone for their advice and their help
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Has a great attitude. And then
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: now he's paired up with Terry Hollins, who's been to
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: like 10 or 12 finals. So Terry, Terry's probably one
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: of the best strongmen that never win the world's strongest man. Yeah, he's,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: he's doing well and he keeps getting better.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: So, Exactly.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I expect big things out of Evans. I really do.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: So do I. So do I.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then Chris Beethman. Beethman. Beethman. Beethman or Beeth Ham?
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Beeth Ham? I don't know. I think it's Beethman. Beeth.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Okay. I took the title in Gloslow, so he won
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Scotland's Strongest Man. So that's.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good to make it up there. He'll probably
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: be at a Giants live pretty soon. Yeah. He's also
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: got a couple of winning. Yeah. A couple of guys
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: that are pretty good there in Scotland. He could probably
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: go see and train with as well.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I think he'll be okay.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: You know, how important is it these national level championships
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: you got to win with, you know, start putting you
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: in the real international Giants live circuits and also the
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: other shows.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, yeah, you get noticed by doing that. And
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: then you'll get into, you know, Strongman Champions League and
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Giants Live, which will get you the World's Strongest Man.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: And then if you do really well, you'll get to
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: the Rogue and the Arnold and stuff like that as well.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: So it's pretty cool. Oh, yeah. Speaking of which, Champions
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: League Portugal is October 4th. So that's coming up September 26th.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: They have Summit Strength in Rotterdam, England. That's coming up.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: October 17th, Giants Live World Tour Finals, which will be
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the World Log Lift Challenge Championship. So that'll be kind
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: of interesting to see who does what on the log.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: We might have more than one go over five. Yeah.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: It should be fun to watch.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Especially since the special guest will be Iron BB. And
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: then they'll also have the Hercules hold in that, so
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: we'll probably see Mark Felix as well do the Hercules hold,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. I'd like to watch Mark still
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: get out there and go do that.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Good luck beating him, guys.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: His grip is still real.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Once again, another example of that old man strength.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And he's over 60 now, so that's saying something. Yeah,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: and Saturday, October 24th, In Aberdeen, Scotland, you have the
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Rogue Invitational. Yes. That's going to be good. That's going
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: to be really good.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: That's going to be the one. Yeah.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Exactly. That rounds out the year.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then you got Mitchell Hooper here in Vegas
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: training pretty hard for that already. So he's getting ready
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: for that. I know Austin Andrade is getting ready for that.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be a fun show to watch.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: There's going to be some guys that show up and
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: do their thing, but can anybody beat Mitchell Hooper?
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's it. You know what I'm saying? A prime
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Mitchell Hooper fired all the way up. He's took an
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: all this time off to set himself up. Yes, exactly.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: So that's going to be the, you know what I'm saying?
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Because he was last year's champion and coming in to
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: defend the title. So it's like, yeah.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, and he's not going to have a bad
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: event guys.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: So it's like you literally have to– you can't probably
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: get worse than fourth in an event and still have
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: a chance to get past him. Because he's not– the
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: lowest he's going to go on an event is probably third.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I would agree with that.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: World's Strongest Man was second all the way across the board.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: So that's hard to beat. That type of consistency and
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: that kind of being good at everything, it's going to
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: be tough to beat. So, can anyone do it? We
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: shall see.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: We shall see.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, and then coming up Friday and Saturday this week.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: This week.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: This week. Coming up here Friday and Saturday, the 25th
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and 26th. Yep. The expo for the Olympia will be
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: at the Convention Center. Okay.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: We're going to be there. Come up and say hi.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: We're going to be walking around on Friday. I'll probably
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: be over by America's Strongest Man a little bit on Friday. Yep.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Might do some announcing, might do some judging, or just
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: hang out and shake hands and take pictures and just.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Say hi to people.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: That's it. There. And then cheer on a couple of
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: the guys as well. Yep. And then Saturday... We will
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: be at the Bear Steel booth and Stringflex will be
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: at their booth and hanging out there. And we're going
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: to have a little contest for the people that are there.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: If the sandbags get here.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: They were supposed to be here today. They're still not here.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: We're waiting on UPS to deliver. If those get here,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: we'll have a contest for men and women. I think
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: it's a 175-pound bag hold for time for women and
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: a 250-pound bag hold for men for time. And whoever
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: holds it the longest at the end of the day
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: gets that bag. Don't worry. We won't give it to
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: you full of sand. You'll get the empty bag. You'll
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: get an unfilled one to take with you. That way
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: you can take it home and fill it yourself. But
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: their bags are designed. StrainFlex's bags are designed to be
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: that exact weight when you fill it up with sand
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: yep there is no playing around so if it's supposed
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: to be a 200 pound bag it's a 200 pound
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: bag it's 250 it's 250 you fill it all the
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: way up to where you can't put any more in
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: there and that's what it weighs which is really kind
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: of neat because a lot of the other manufacturers don't
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: make bags that way.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: No they do not.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah so it's kind of nice because what you get
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: is what you get as far as the weight goes
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: so that's that's.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Pretty awesome exactly And, you know, with it being the
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Olympia weekend and the Olympia Expo, that means we have bodybuilding.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: And I am a huge bodybuilding fan. And so I'm
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: just going to read off some of the competitors that
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: will be competing in the Opens Men's Show. People that
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: I like to watch. And right now, Martin Fitzwater is
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: one of my guys. I just like his look. I
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: like his physique. I like his training style. Regan Grimes. Goddamn.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: He just looks like a cool dude to hang out with.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: It's just another person I've watched grow into the sport.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: James Hollington. After they eat. Yes, after they eat.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: And their brain works again.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Exactly. James Hollington is another big fan of his. I
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: used to love listening to his podcast. We've got fan
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: favorites like William Bonak, Patrick Moore. uh, you know, uh,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Nick Walker coming into this and I just saw an
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: update photo of him today and God damn it. He
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: looks so shredded. His abdomen is midsection. Look tight. I
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: hope that he keeps it going like that. You know
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying? So like, I would love Nick to
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: break that, that, that top and, and come through, you
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying? We got Samson, uh, we got, uh,
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Brendan Curry, Samson Douda, um, And then we got Derek Lunsford,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: who's coming in at the reigning champ. And, you know,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: everyone's been pointing fingers at him. And, you know, the
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: big hubbub is, you know, will he be able to
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: win this again? Because, like I said, it's like he's
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: so compact and so tight it's like will his conditioning
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: be in or is he going to be bigger than
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: he was last year so it's like you know you
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: got to fight that in between yeah i.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Think uh i was watching jay cutler's podcast actually the
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: other day and jay was giving him some very very
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: good advice he's like don't bother trying to get bigger
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: you're big enough yeah Get shredded. Come in leaner. He goes,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you add more muscle to that
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: frame and have it look right. He goes, you've won
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: the Olympia. You're the size you need to be. Now,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: just harden it up a little bit more at that
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: size and he'll be able to repeat without too much
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: of a problem. Hopefully, he listened to Jay's podcast and
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: hopefully he chose to come in maybe just Coming at
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: the same weight, just a little bit leaner. Yep. And
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: just dominate. Because if he comes in dry and hard
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: as a rock, I don't know if there's anybody that's
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: going to catch him.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Nobody's going to be able to catch him. Like I said,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: if he comes in tight and dry and just striated
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: like a motherfucker, ain't nobody going to be able to
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Cause like I said, he's got a great physique. He's
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: got a great look. I've watched him from when he
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: first started coming in, you know, he started off as
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: an animal athlete. It just evolved into every other, you know,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: brand that's picked him up. And he's now he's with,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: you know, he's with a real good company. He's hottie,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: you know, like, like I said, he, he, you know,
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: he's got everything he's firing all cylinders. So I definitely
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: see that happening for him. So, you know, and, and,

• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Get updates. Now you can just watch the thing. So
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I would absolutely 100% take advantage of that because these
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: things don't come around very often where they're free.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Very often. They're trying to bring the people into sport.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then you're just going to be able to
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: see so much better from the camera angles. Cause when
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: you're sitting in the audience, you know, unless you bring
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: binoculars with you, you can't really get that view and
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: you'll be sitting in the back going, well, why'd he
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: put him here and then there and then there, but
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: you're so far back. You can't, you just can't see
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: what they can see when they're up close.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Well, with the camera, with the television camera, you'll be
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: able to see what they can see up close and
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: you'll really be able to see, you know, what's what,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: who's who and who hit it on the head and
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: who did not that just that much closer. So I'm excited.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: That's going to be fun to sit and watch.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: It's going to be so fun to see. And, and
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: also to just want to touch a little bit on
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: the expo. Cause on the expo, Nick, Oh, yeah. With
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: the Expo happening, there are events happening at the Expo.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: So we have an amateur show. There's a bodybuilding stage.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: There's going to be a lot of presenters. There's going
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: to be seminars. There are so many things happening.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: American Strongest Man.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Arm wrestling. Arm wrestling. arm lifting, armor combat. So
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: the knights will be there hitting each other with battle
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: axes in an arena. They're actually having boxing this time too.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: And this is one I'm going to be loving to
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: go watch, extreme eating. So they're going to be having
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: some extreme eating there. Ben, are you.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Going to come out of retirement?
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I can come out of retirement,
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: but you know what I'm saying? I wouldn't say no
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: to a try.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: They're going to have flag football. It's a picture of
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: a woman, so I'm assuming a woman's flag football. They
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: have the humans panel. I'm assuming there's an anagram there
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: for it. You've got the IPL powerlifting. Then you have
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: the mass wrestling, which is the stick wrestling.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Mass.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Mass wrestling. Not mass. Mass wrestling. They have all that stuff.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: They're going to fight for a stick and pull each
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: other overboard. It's pretty cool.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Very fun to watch. It's always the bicep that worries me.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Bicep, hamstrings, lower back. It just kind of depends where
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: the weak link is. It's fun to watch. It's rough.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: I was never mobile enough by the time that came
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: around and yeah available to do i was like i'm
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: not doing.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Well it requires you to sit on your butt and
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: bend and touch your toes because that's.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Where the bar is at correct which exactly i think
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: i'm getting mine to my side pretty quick because it
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: won't stay there.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: That long exactly exactly.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah good luck guys that's gonna be.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Fun exactly They're going to have the Olympia University, which
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: looks like they're just going to have a panel up
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: there of experts speaking. They're going to be having Olympic lifting.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: So this is the first time I'm actually going to
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: see that there, because I've never seen them have Olympic
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: lifting at the event before, at least for the times
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: that I've been there. You're going to have strict curling.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: So that was there last year, strict curling. Maybe we'll
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: get what's called Big House himself, because I know he's
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: been competing in strict curling lately, so.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe he'll do that.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Of course, we're having Strongman. We're having America's Strongest
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Man there. And Evan Sinkinson will be there competing.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So that'll be kind of cool. Go there and
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: cheer Evan on. Exactly. Give him a hand if you
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: need it. And just be good to see him and
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: hang out with him. So we might do a podcast
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: with him while he's here as well. So that should
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: be fun. Exactly. It should be a good weekend.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a great event. Like I said,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: they've got so much going on. Even right now, Sumo
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: wrestlers were there last year. They're coming back. You're also
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: going to have the USA powerlifting. They'll be there. Then
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: for the ladies, it will be Zumba classes. Like I said,
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: they have a complete setup over there. I was literally
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: looking at how they got it set up this year
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: coming up. Man, they have so many more setups than
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: i've seen there before you know what i'm saying a
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: lot of the booths are so much bigger now too
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: and the event the event room that they've given everybody
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: uh so it looks like it's going to be jam-packed this.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Year that's that's good it means the organizers are trying
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: to promote the whole thing as a whole a little
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: bit more and probably not as concerned about the almighty
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: dollar yeah thinking we get more people in there there's
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: going to be more almighty dollars instead of just you know,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: overcharging for the boosts and making it hard to do
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: all those things in there. So that's good.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: It's a start in the right direction. That's it. That
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: is it.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: That's why I'm just happy to see, happy to go.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: It's always one of my favorite things to go check out.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: And you know what I'm saying? I was trying to see,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: cause I have the map here where the booth was
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: going to be at, but there's so many booths. It's
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: so hard to read the map on that, on that
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: function right there. So, you know what I'm saying? Just
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: what are you guys going out there? Just keep an
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: eye out for you. You won't be able to miss
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Nick or myself. Yeah.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: And I think we're going to do some filming of
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: grocery shopping and stuff too. So just to let you know,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I have not grocery shopped in about a week and
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: a half. So we need to buy some stuff because
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: it's getting pretty lean in here.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I'm eating everything about I got left to eat. So
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: all the food here will be fresh. So that'll be
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: good when you get here. Well, after we get here
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: because we got to go shopping. Exactly. We'll probably go
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: out to dinner the first night and then go shopping
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Thursday morning.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, you don't want to go shopping hungry.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: That's one of the biggest mistakes you can always make
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: because everything looks good at that point.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it does. Your food bill ends up being like
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: $ 100 to $ 150 more to go when you're hungry. So
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: it's like, oh, these look delicious. Let's get one of
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: these and one of those. That's it.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: Nick is a very big snack guy. He has a
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: very particular set of snacks that he likes. It's always
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: a good thing because when I come to visit, there's
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: usually a pretty good set of granola bars there to grab. Yeah.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Well, right now, not so much. When you get there,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: we've got to go get them. I took this filming
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: thing seriously. Yeah.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: All right, Nick, go ahead and take us on out
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: here because we covered quite a bit this week.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: We did. And thank you for the organized chaos and
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: listening to it and sitting through all this. It was
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun to do. As always, train hard,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: train smart, and be the best you can be. And
• 39:05
