5:10
Speaker 3: Both Andy and gave her World Strongest Man competitors so
5:16
Speaker 3: if you get by them, you're doing pretty good. So
5:18
Speaker 3: it was pretty amazing that came down to a stone's shoulder.
5:23
Speaker 3: In the end, they tied Eric and Eric and James
5:28
Speaker 3: tied after the last event, and the tiebreaker ended up
5:33
Speaker 3: being a stone to shoulder and that turned out pretty easily.
5:38
Speaker 3: They both missed the first stone and so they had
5:41
Speaker 3: to drag down to a lighter stone, and then Eric
5:45
Speaker 3: didn't quite make it, and then James got the last stone,
5:48
Speaker 3: So congratulations, buddy, you killed it. Which after doing all
5:52
Speaker 3: these events there which involved your biceps because you're lifting
5:57
Speaker 3: stones to a stone shoulder and a heavy one at that,
6:01
Speaker 3: after all, that was absolutely amazing, So great job, guys.
6:07
Speaker 3: The thief was amazing. Got to hang out with Ed
6:09
Speaker 3: Cohen do seminars, which is really neat when you're up
6:12
Speaker 3: on the stage, you know, with James, because James came
6:15
Speaker 3: up because James changed with me, trained with me for
6:18
Speaker 3: all ten of my World's Strongest Man appearances, and then
6:21
Speaker 3: Ed Cohen, the guy that inspired me as a kid,
6:24
Speaker 3: you know, for powerlifting and strength sports and just training
6:27
Speaker 3: in general. I mean I still get you know, counseling
6:31
Speaker 3: from him and coaching from him, uh, even even to
6:34
Speaker 3: this day, which really helped me fix some of them
6:38
Speaker 3: stuff on my squats after the surgery and stuff like that.
6:41
Speaker 3: So h and my deadlifts kind of changing my deadlift
6:44
Speaker 3: technique too, so but you guys will see that later. Yeah,
6:50
Speaker 3: sou But it's just neat to get to hang out
6:54
Speaker 3: with him and Haga for the whole week and James
6:57
Speaker 3: and Jen and stuff like that. It's just incredible. And
7:01
Speaker 3: Kicking Eagle are absolutely amazing. They put on an amazing
7:06
Speaker 3: week there. I mean, you have to go to this thing,
7:09
Speaker 3: absolutely have to. I mean I wish the internet connections
7:13
Speaker 3: were better so they could live stream it up there,
7:15
Speaker 3: but you have to see this. It's a once in
7:19
Speaker 3: a lifetime thing. It is a bucket list if you're
7:22
Speaker 3: gonna go up there for strong Man. The food is
7:24
Speaker 3: absolutely incredible and the sense of community because you have
7:29
Speaker 3: Highland Games athletes, you have Strongman athletes, you have Stone
7:33
Speaker 3: lifting athletes, and they're all in the same place. We
7:36
Speaker 3: all eat in the same areas, we all hang out together.
7:39
Speaker 3: They do the Viking Games in the evenings, which I
7:42
Speaker 3: don't really you know, the evenings because Sunda set till
7:45
Speaker 3: like eleven forty five twelve o'clock. But yeah, in the evenings,
7:51
Speaker 3: you know, we all get together and they do Viking
7:53
Speaker 3: games and arm armlifting and stuff like that and arm
7:56
Speaker 3: wrestling in the evening. So it's it's just it's it's
8:01
Speaker 3: an amazing, amazing thing. If you're into strength sports to go.
8:05
Speaker 2: To that sounds like a lot of fun.
8:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it really is. It really is. And then
8:13
Speaker 3: I ended up hiking not once, but twice up to
8:16
Speaker 3: the top of the mountains, so that was pretty cool. Yeah,
8:19
Speaker 3: it was last I did it once and I was wrecked,
8:21
Speaker 3: and then this time I did it twice.
8:25
Speaker 2: The first time exactly. Got to keep a lot of
8:29
Speaker 2: the videos that came out of there, the drone footage.
8:31
Speaker 2: It looked amazing out there.
8:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, Alex is Alex Just the stuff he does with
8:36
Speaker 3: that drone is incredible, it really is. You got to
8:40
Speaker 3: go check that out. I mean, you really do. And
8:42
Speaker 3: then we went around and we went to lum and
8:47
Speaker 3: stuff like that. We got to see one of the
8:48
Speaker 3: old original wooden churches from like eleven hundred. We saw
8:53
Speaker 3: the biggest and oldest one and it was it was
8:57
Speaker 3: absolutely amazing, just the beauty of the architecture and what
9:00
Speaker 3: they did back in that day, and I guess there
9:04
Speaker 3: was some death metal bands back that went down burning
9:07
Speaker 3: down the churches in Norway, and there's only like twenty
9:10
Speaker 3: six of them left and there used to be thousands
9:12
Speaker 3: of them, so it's kind of a neat thing to see.
9:14
Speaker 3: And then they had a museum that was there, and
9:20
Speaker 3: we got to go through the museum and do all
9:22
Speaker 3: the old Nordic stuff and how they tried to live
9:24
Speaker 3: on the ice and stuff like that, so that was
9:26
Speaker 3: pretty cool. And then there's a river that runs right
9:30
Speaker 3: through the city. It's just a torrent of water and
9:34
Speaker 3: they have a zip line across it, and I was
9:36
Speaker 3: like twenty kilos too much to ride it. The most
9:40
Speaker 3: amazing thing though, is watching Eddie Cohen go and ride
9:44
Speaker 3: the zip line. I was just like so jealous.
9:47
Speaker 2: That's hilarious, and he's just like, yeah.
9:51
Speaker 3: I wanted to do that, and it's not bad. It's
9:55
Speaker 3: like twenty bucks and you're going probably a half mile
9:58
Speaker 3: on the thing, so it was pretty cool. It's just
10:02
Speaker 3: an unbelievable experience that Kicking Angle put on. So it's
10:06
Speaker 3: I can't thank them enough for having me out there
10:09
Speaker 3: and then getting to do the seminars and stuff like
10:11
Speaker 3: that and talk about you know, just like the world
10:14
Speaker 3: Strongest Man or power thing and stuff like that. Just
10:17
Speaker 3: all this just it's it's just amazing. It's it's an
10:22
Speaker 3: unbelievable experience that people should go to at least once
10:25
Speaker 3: in their lifetime exactly.
10:27
Speaker 2: And this happens every year, so you know, everyone, you
10:30
Speaker 2: guys have an opportunity to go to this, So make
10:32
Speaker 2: sure that you guys check that out. Make sure you
10:34
Speaker 2: feel like I said, is this is like it's one
10:36
Speaker 2: of those once in a lifetime experiences. If you're going
10:38
Speaker 2: to do it and you love strong Man, I would
10:40
Speaker 2: definitely say go.
10:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, definitely.
10:44
Speaker 2: All right, shift gears a little. We have what today's
10:50
Speaker 2: the sixth one week till the actual strongest Man on Earth,
10:57
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm.
10:59
Speaker 3: Little weeks? Yeah.
11:01
Speaker 2: Yeah.
11:01
Speaker 3: They shot Classic, which is gonna be which is gonna
11:04
Speaker 3: be pretty freaking cool. Yeah, there's the open has changed
11:10
Speaker 3: a little bit. There's uh multiple divisions for the men
11:15
Speaker 3: and women in the open. The men's open is the
11:18
Speaker 3: only one gets a spot in the big show the
11:21
Speaker 3: following year. But it's gonna be a heck of a show.
11:25
Speaker 3: It really is pretty amazing. It's sold out already, so
11:30
Speaker 3: they're they're doing well. They open up a whole nother section,
11:32
Speaker 3: So now the back room for everybody warm up thin
11:36
Speaker 3: is gonna be a heck of a lot smaller, but
11:38
Speaker 3: it's it's still it's amazing. The crowd. The expo's free
11:42
Speaker 3: to go to. And now it's both halls that are there,
11:45
Speaker 3: not just one, so that's expanded and really grown. It's
11:50
Speaker 3: it's gonna be neat. A lot of guys have Like
11:53
Speaker 3: I'll be at the Shah Booth on Sunday, I think
11:58
Speaker 3: eleven or twelve or no. Twelve to one or something
12:01
Speaker 3: like that. It's gonna be after the strongest Man on
12:03
Speaker 3: Earth is over, so that that'll be pretty freaking cool
12:07
Speaker 3: to go there and hang out there, and then I
12:09
Speaker 3: do a lecture at some point that weekend and talk.
12:12
Speaker 3: We all get up there and you know, talk about things,
12:15
Speaker 3: do Q and a stuff like that. So that's gonna
12:17
Speaker 3: be a lot of fun, and it's free for everywhere
12:19
Speaker 3: to go to. So it's it's it's pretty amazing. You
12:23
Speaker 3: can go meet your favorite strong man. That's the thing.
12:27
Speaker 3: Everybody will be walking around doing stuff, so it's it's
12:30
Speaker 3: a lot of fun. It truly is. You got to
12:34
Speaker 3: get to that thing. Get out there. Loved One's actually
12:39
Speaker 3: absolutely beautiful, you know, Loveland, Colorado. So it's fine. It
12:46
Speaker 3: truly is. And like I said, going to the exploit
12:48
Speaker 3: doesn't cost anything. The tickets to the event are very
12:51
Speaker 3: reasonable for what you get. It really is for the
12:53
Speaker 3: entertainment value and you get to see it, So go
12:57
Speaker 3: check it out.
12:58
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, looking fencer to control, That's what I'm saying.
13:02
Speaker 2: It's like they're looking towards that tractor pool because that
13:04
Speaker 2: tractor look insane as they were paying pool.
13:08
Speaker 3: The bail the bailer is going to be something else.
13:12
Speaker 3: It's thirty six hundred pounds. It's on garganshaw and rubber wheels,
13:16
Speaker 3: and you're gonna be on a rubber service. So getting
13:18
Speaker 3: that thing moving at eight hundred pounds in your hands
13:21
Speaker 3: is gonna it's gonna be starting it and lifting it.
13:25
Speaker 3: Starting at moving it, lifting it. The pick's pretty easy.
13:28
Speaker 3: It's not bad. Yeah, it's eight hundred pounds and it's
13:31
Speaker 3: you know, it's not It's never easy, but it's not
13:34
Speaker 3: that difficult for that level of the guys. It's gonna
13:37
Speaker 3: be getting it moving forwards, getting a good time and
13:40
Speaker 3: then getting back because you're gonna have to run back
13:43
Speaker 3: forty feet to get to the arm over arm, So
13:47
Speaker 3: it's it's gonna be no joke, and you're going head
13:49
Speaker 3: to heads there isun be on one in each side,
13:51
Speaker 3: and then the tractor coming in for the arm over
13:54
Speaker 3: arm on the inside. So that's gonna be pretty That's
13:58
Speaker 3: gonna be a good two tests, not only grip strength
14:01
Speaker 3: but cardio as well. So and then just I cannot
14:07
Speaker 3: wait to see the manhood stones. It was the biggest
14:11
Speaker 3: travesty that they took that out of the Arnold, and
14:14
Speaker 3: then now this version of it where I think it's
14:17
Speaker 3: four fifty five hundred, five fifty or six hundred one
14:20
Speaker 3: rep with the heavier stone trumps everything with the lighter stone.
14:23
Speaker 3: So the strategy for these guys coming in the question
14:28
Speaker 3: is is we all probably know Tom's going to do
14:30
Speaker 3: the six hundred pound stone for REP. And it looks
14:33
Speaker 3: like Thor is going to be doing the same. So
14:36
Speaker 3: how many other guys are going to lift that six
14:38
Speaker 3: hundred pounds stone and get one that's going to be
14:41
Speaker 3: that's going to be spicy. That's really is that's gonna
14:45
Speaker 3: be something to watch because man's six hundred pounds stone
14:50
Speaker 3: going over a bar for reps is going to be
14:52
Speaker 3: pretty sick. It's yeah, that's that kind of ras Yeah,
14:56
Speaker 3: it kind of raises the hairs on my forearms and
14:59
Speaker 3: stuff thinking about that. I mean I remember at the
15:04
Speaker 3: Arnold just missing the five thirty nine or something like that.
15:09
Speaker 3: This is either thirty five or thirty nine and then
15:12
Speaker 3: doing four sixty five for four.
15:15
Speaker 2: Yeah.
15:15
Speaker 3: To see somebody do the six hundred pounds stone in
15:18
Speaker 3: a competition for reps, it's going to be pretty spectacular. Yeah,
15:23
Speaker 3: the squad events gonna be pretty freaking cool. The device
15:27
Speaker 3: he made is going to be bulletproof. Hell, yah, you
15:31
Speaker 3: just tested it. I just got back from Colorado, which
15:34
Speaker 3: I've been to Colorado know twice in the last couple
15:36
Speaker 3: of weeks, once to do that, and then I went
15:39
Speaker 3: on a recruiting trip to Masa with my daughter for lacrosse,
15:42
Speaker 3: which that that's pretty neat when you get to go on,
15:46
Speaker 3: you know, cause recruiting trips with your two kids, it's
15:50
Speaker 3: a special, special thing that you get to do. So Yeah,
15:56
Speaker 3: mas is a beautiful college, it really is, and there's
15:59
Speaker 3: sporting program and the campus I mean their class sizes
16:03
Speaker 3: are eighteen eighteen to one professor. I mean it's it's
16:08
Speaker 3: gonna be. Yeah, it's a pretty cool college. So we're
16:10
Speaker 3: gonna go see a few others too. But that was
16:13
Speaker 3: it was a really neat opportunity.
16:16
Speaker 2: That's good.
16:17
Speaker 3: Back to the shot classic, Yeah, it's gonna be you know.
16:21
Speaker 3: And then the fingle fingers. The innovation with that where
16:24
Speaker 3: the finger doesn't go all the way over, it locks
16:26
Speaker 3: into the thing and you just push it back over
16:28
Speaker 3: so the setup for the event doesn't kill your spotters.
16:30
Speaker 3: You don't need a forklift. It's a it's a pretty neat,
16:35
Speaker 3: you know, innovation that they came up with. Then the
16:38
Speaker 3: power stairs, the power stairs or the power.
16:40
Speaker 2: Stairs, that's gonna be no joke, you know, power stairs looking.
16:44
Speaker 3: I think the last one six hundred pounds.
16:47
Speaker 2: Man, you're really making them work for that money.
16:50
Speaker 3: Yeah. Brian also does it kind of the right way.
16:54
Speaker 3: He makes it to where it's it's it's gonna be
16:58
Speaker 3: heavy and hard and you're gonna have to have good
17:00
Speaker 3: grip to do it. But he doesn't make the implement
17:04
Speaker 3: overly long, and he doesn't make the stairs overly high.
17:08
Speaker 3: I think it's fifteen inches, Okay, you know that you
17:11
Speaker 3: got to get over so they're not going to make
17:12
Speaker 3: it like eighteen inches nineteen inches. So the guys that
17:15
Speaker 3: are six foot or less are basically going to zero
17:20
Speaker 3: the event. I mean it's at a height where if
17:23
Speaker 3: you can do it, I mean, everybody's going to have
17:25
Speaker 3: a good shot at doing all of them. You just
17:28
Speaker 3: got to come in ready to do them all. Yeah.
17:30
Speaker 3: But the weights are heavy enough. Yeah, the weights are
17:33
Speaker 3: heavy enough, and the stairs are really deep, so you're
17:35
Speaker 3: still gonna have to take a step or two with
17:37
Speaker 3: it to get to the to get to the next
17:40
Speaker 3: side to lift it up. So it's going to be
17:42
Speaker 3: pretty challenging. Hell yeah, it really get better. Get a
17:46
Speaker 3: little bit of duck walking into like three or four
17:48
Speaker 3: steps on me, maybe two or three steps of duck walks.
17:52
Speaker 3: Planning on training those when you're going into that, probably
17:54
Speaker 3: not gonna hurt it.
17:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably gonna help you quite a bit on that.
17:58
Speaker 3: A little late for you to train it. Yeah, I
18:02
Speaker 3: will say this about the squad though, If you didn't train,
18:05
Speaker 3: if you did not train it on a Smith machine,
18:09
Speaker 3: you made a mistake. Told everybody, yeah, told everybody, Yeah,
18:16
Speaker 3: I told them what it was going to be like,
18:17
Speaker 3: and it is. Yeah, definitely like that.
18:21
Speaker 2: I hope everyone heard that warning and was like, oh,
18:25
Speaker 2: I need to adjust this here.
18:27
Speaker 3: Or maybe just go playing one and practice one a
18:30
Speaker 3: little bit. And it's one that goes straight up and down.
18:32
Speaker 3: It doesn't have an angle, no slant worse. Yeah, So
18:37
Speaker 3: where you put your feet and how you set up
18:41
Speaker 3: with it, how you sit into it is going to
18:44
Speaker 3: make a massive difference.
18:45
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, because like anybody who's squatting in a Smith
18:49
Speaker 2: machine knows, like you have, like there's there's no deviate
18:52
Speaker 2: from the the from the parallel it makes. It puts
18:54
Speaker 2: you in because that deviation yeah. Yeah.
18:58
Speaker 3: Oh and the depth censor on it when they set that,
19:04
Speaker 3: that's gonna be pretty freaking cool. And you can't bounce it.
19:10
Speaker 2: There you go.
19:11
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to come down with control. He's already
19:14
Speaker 3: talked about these things. Yes, So you're gonna have to
19:18
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to touch it. You're gonna know right
19:20
Speaker 3: away though.
19:21
Speaker 2: Yeah.
19:22
Speaker 3: The athletes will know when they hit the bottom and
19:25
Speaker 3: they touch it, whether they've got a green or red.
19:29
Speaker 3: If you get a red when you hit the bottom,
19:30
Speaker 3: you still got to stand up with it to take
19:32
Speaker 3: another chance getting well.
19:35
Speaker 2: I hope everyone paid attention because that sounds.
19:38
Speaker 3: Nasty, but it's it's a pretty fair it's a pretty
19:43
Speaker 3: fair number they came up with. I mean you have
19:45
Speaker 3: to hit it pretty darn hard for it not to count. Yeah,
19:50
Speaker 3: fairly hard, fairly hard. And so it's it's pretty neat
19:56
Speaker 3: to see how it's gonna work. And there's other parts
19:59
Speaker 3: to it. There look absolutely stunning things that have never
20:04
Speaker 3: been done before. And you're going to see that when
20:06
Speaker 3: you get the live stream. I mean, the graphics there
20:09
Speaker 3: to come up on this, and the information issue to
20:11
Speaker 3: get from this, I mean, it's it's gonna be it's
20:15
Speaker 3: gonna be pretty neat. The announcer's gonna have a lot
20:18
Speaker 3: to talk about when they're going there'll be so much
20:22
Speaker 3: information on the screen that hasn't been there before. It's
20:25
Speaker 3: it's going to be a neat event for them to
20:26
Speaker 3: call it.
20:27
Speaker 2: Really, isn't well, that'll be fun.
20:31
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, No, it'll be a blast. It will be
20:33
Speaker 3: an absolute blast. I cannot wait. I really can't. Because
20:38
Speaker 3: the depths are all going to get set for all
20:40
Speaker 3: the competitors when they get ready for it. So like
20:46
Speaker 3: in the back when they're testing the equipment and they're
20:48
Speaker 3: checking it out, that's when they're going to set everybody's depths.
20:51
Speaker 3: When they come out, the depths already set. You're not
20:53
Speaker 3: gonna have to worry about the judge Colin good or
20:56
Speaker 3: not good, it's already been. That's where it's going to
20:58
Speaker 3: be done. In the back. It's pre judged on their depth. Okay,
21:01
Speaker 3: So you're not gonna have to worry about that when
21:03
Speaker 3: you go out. If you get the guys that are
21:04
Speaker 3: trying to do high bar and then go to low bar,
21:07
Speaker 3: or move your feet wide or all that other stuff,
21:10
Speaker 3: they're taking a picture of your feet, they're taking a
21:12
Speaker 3: picture with the bar of your shoulders. Yeah, you're not
21:16
Speaker 3: You're not gonna be able to do those things. Where
21:18
Speaker 3: you set up is where you set up. So it's
21:20
Speaker 3: gonna be an amazing event. It's gonna be a great
21:22
Speaker 3: test of strength and endurance for that matter. So it's
21:26
Speaker 3: it's gonna be fun to watch. I am really excited
21:29
Speaker 3: and looking forward to it truly. Oh yeah, you got
21:31
Speaker 3: to go buy that lot. If you can't go to it,
21:33
Speaker 3: you've got to get the live stream. Have to.
21:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely I definitely agree. I'll put the links
21:40
Speaker 2: in the notes for the show classic and hopefully I
21:42
Speaker 2: think the the website has the live stream in there too,
21:45
Speaker 2: so you know, an easy way for everyone to get
21:48
Speaker 2: to it.
21:49
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, and then of course Matt Eiserman so is
21:53
Speaker 3: super entertaining, so it's it's gonna be a lot of
21:56
Speaker 3: fun to watch.
21:58
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And it's definitely be a lot of fun.
22:00
Speaker 2: And we hope to see and here and you know,
22:02
Speaker 2: and don't be scared to come up to Nick and
22:04
Speaker 2: say hi, and we're there. You know what I'm saying,
22:07
Speaker 2: because guess what, Nick likes to take the time.
22:09
Speaker 3: I love to meet people do stuff. So it's really
22:12
Speaker 3: is a great thing. The interesting thing though this year
22:16
Speaker 3: is going to be is since Brian's not competing, it's
22:19
Speaker 3: gonna be fun to watch him walking around and doing stuff.
22:22
Speaker 2: It's oh yeah, well, even as he was competing, he
22:26
Speaker 2: was doing the exact same thing, so it's like, you know,
22:29
Speaker 2: it's gonna be nice for him to be able to
22:31
Speaker 2: actually step take a step back and then have more
22:34
Speaker 2: control of what he needs to get done.
22:36
Speaker 3: No, I will honestly say he's probably worked harder at
22:44
Speaker 3: this show than he has the last years he has had. Uh,
22:51
Speaker 3: he's put more effort into it than actually when he
22:54
Speaker 3: was competing in it, which is because the amount of
22:58
Speaker 3: effort it takes to compete and do the contest is unbelievable.
23:03
Speaker 3: And the more I think he's put more total effort
23:07
Speaker 3: into just now that he's stepped away from it, into it.
23:09
Speaker 3: So it's it's gonna be. He has worked his tail off,
23:13
Speaker 3: Carrie has worked his tailoff, and the guy. Hopefully the
23:16
Speaker 3: guys appreciate and respect how hard he's actually working for
23:21
Speaker 3: them to create a better place for strongmen in general,
23:24
Speaker 3: men's and women's because the bigger the men's gets, the
23:27
Speaker 3: bigger the women's going to get. It's all going to
23:29
Speaker 3: get better. The more you raise the bar to the sport,
23:32
Speaker 3: the better, the better it's going to be. Just don't
23:36
Speaker 3: get expectant. Appreciate how hard they're working. He's because he
23:42
Speaker 3: puts everything back into the show. He put his whole
23:45
Speaker 3: prize money back into the show every time he's done this. Yep,
23:49
Speaker 3: So it's it's, Uh, it's pretty cool. There's not a
23:55
Speaker 3: whole lot of people working that hard for its exactly.
23:58
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I got a lot of
23:59
Speaker 2: respect for him because they city everything a strong man
24:01
Speaker 2: has given him, he's returned it tenfold because like that
24:04
Speaker 2: is you know, his own show, and that show is
24:08
Speaker 2: growing to the point where it's going to be on
24:09
Speaker 2: par with everybody.
24:11
Speaker 3: Well yeah, and it's gonna be one of these things
24:14
Speaker 3: where you're taking every bit of politics out of it.
24:19
Speaker 3: M hm, you're coming in. You have judges that are
24:23
Speaker 3: impeccable that you don't get the lift perfectly, you ain't
24:28
Speaker 3: getting it, and they don't care. They call Brian on lifts. Yeah,
24:32
Speaker 3: so you know, and it's he's the one bringing him there,
24:35
Speaker 3: so they you will if you set a world record. There,
24:41
Speaker 3: you got a world record. There's no arguing, there's no
24:44
Speaker 3: well he didn't quite lock it out. This didn't happen.
24:47
Speaker 3: That didn't happen. Oh they no, it's it's it is
24:52
Speaker 3: the best solid rest. So it's gonna be neat to
24:56
Speaker 3: watch it really is. And yeah, it's taking things to
25:00
Speaker 3: another level, up another level, up, another level, and it's
25:04
Speaker 3: it's truly going to move the sport forward as well.
25:07
Speaker 3: And that's that's what we need. And there's you know,
25:10
Speaker 3: between the rogue and world's Strongest Man and the Arnold.
25:13
Speaker 3: The sport just keeps growing and growing and growing, and
25:17
Speaker 3: it's a neat thing to see. And it's you know,
25:20
Speaker 3: I'm glad the things that we all did coming up
25:24
Speaker 3: are now paying off. For all these guys coming in.
25:27

25:32
Speaker 3: these things. Yeah, so enjoy them and respect them and
25:37
Speaker 3: have fun with them. Just appreciate them because people are
25:40
Speaker 3: working hard for you guys as well.
