• 0:44
  And before we get in today's episode, I'd like to thank our podcast sponsors.

• 1:22
  Nick, Well, thank you. They also have wrist traps and belts
• 1:26
  support belts too. That's it. Yeah. I also like the thing I
• 1:32
  Step Industries. I Step Industries get fifty dollars off with code best at checkout
• 1:38
  and you know what those are some of the best. You know, seeing
• 1:42
  it, touching it and feeling it's very It's it's crazy how supportive it is
• 1:46
  yeah, exactly. I'd like I've seen some of the other comparitors. You
• 1:49
  had a different brand, and it was just very flimsy. And when you
• 1:53
  when you get when you just want to man, it's it's that much of
• 1:55
  a difference. And I'm really to be sponsored by them. Yeah. You
• 1:59
  can use the just to get in and get out of, and then you
• 2:01
  can also sit on the thing. It's pretty strong, so I mean,
• 2:05
  I'm three hundred pounds, so I mean, it's it's unbelievable. The chiller
• 2:08
  works great. It can also go up to one hundred and four degrees,
• 2:13
  you know. And the funny thing is is you can get two of those
• 2:15
  things at the price these other companies are selling one four. Yeah, so
• 2:21
  you could do a hot contrast hot and cold for the same price as getting
• 2:23
  one cold from them, exactly. So you know, it's it's a it's
• 2:28
  a great piece of equipment. I still do the thing every single day.
• 2:31
  I like it and me too. And it's really cold. Oh yeah.
• 2:40
  And we're getting ready to actually have a pro strongman seminar with Nick Best in
• 2:46
  December. All right, it's gonna be at untamed strength in a Sacramento I'll
• 2:53
  put the information in the notes for you guys who want to try to attend
• 2:55
  to I know there's only a few spots left that was mentioned, but uh,
• 3:00
  you know, we'll see you guys can actually contact the person and get
• 3:02
  the information to try to see if you guys can make it, because,
• 3:06
  like say, in December is not that far away. And if we don't
• 3:07
  let you guys know now, you know, we don't want to hear that
• 3:10
  you guys missed out and that when we're gonna do the next one, because
• 3:13
  you know what that that stuff's always on how things are going. Yeah,
• 3:16
  that's that's true. So it's it's gonna be pretty cool. I'm looking forward
• 3:21
  to this, and I'm a hands on guy, so I'll talk for a
• 3:24
  little while and then we're just gonna pull out the stuff and go hands on,
• 3:29
  and you know, it's it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be a
• 3:31
  lot of fun, you know, And it's gonna go from every bit of
• 3:35
  it because there's more than one way to pick up a stone. There's all
• 3:38
  kinds of different different deadlift techniques and ways to train for it. And not
• 3:43
  only am I going to give you, you know, tips on how to
• 3:47
  pick the stuff up and how to how to do it all. I'll give
• 3:51
  you tips on how to train for this stuff as well. So one goes
• 3:53
  with the other. So it's gonna it's not gonna be a short class.
• 3:57
  So it's it's gonna be a lot of fun. Oh yeah, it's gonna
• 3:59
  be an all day. That's one of those things too, because like you're
• 4:01
  getting a perspective for someone who's completed, competed on almost every one of these
• 4:05
  events. And the thing is is Nick has an eye to adjust, you
• 4:10
  know what I'm saying. With a lot of things that I've seen with a
• 4:12
  lot of people coming into you know, Nick's famous garage. You know what
• 4:15
  I'm saying. I've seen him like just points small minute details out and bam,
• 4:21
  like it's all of a sudden it clicks for that person. And sometimes
• 4:25
  it's the little things that make the biggest difference. It justin's powerlet to meet
• 4:30
  There's a kid who's having problems with like soft knees and locking out and stuff
• 4:35
  like that. But it turns out he was trying to get his shoulders back
• 4:40
  at the top and he couldn't get his shoulders through because his hands were up
• 4:43
  against him. Yeah, and he was in his own way, and I'm
• 4:45
  like, why not your hands this much on side and gonna make all the
• 4:48
  difference in the world. Walks up, pulls his pulls his last deadlift.
• 4:51
  It goes right on through your shoulders, goes straight back, and I'm like,
• 4:54
  and he doesn't re bend his knees trying to get his shoulders back.
• 4:58
  So it worked out perfect. I mean, it's little things, just the
• 5:01
  little tiny things that make the biggest difference exactly exactly. And you know,
• 5:05
  the speaking of you know that, that was my first power lifting me ever
• 5:10
  attending. It was pretty fun. It was It was interesting to see,
• 5:14
  like I said, it's just so crazy to see the intensity of everyone in
• 5:16
  there because, like I said, with the power lifting means like that this
• 5:20
  is a game of sport and fun, and that that was something you kept
• 5:25
  reminding everybody out because like you could see the tension and everybody's face on trying
• 5:29
  to compete and get their numbers. You know what I'm saying. Yeah,
• 5:32
  it's just like, dude, just go have fun. You know how to
• 5:34
  do the lift. You do this in the gym all the time. You
• 5:36
  know, the one kid who missed seventy eight eight, like twice three times
• 5:44
  or twice, came back and got it that third time. Honest, the
• 5:49
  game a fourth because they messed up one of the calls. Yeah, and
• 5:53
  they took the bar from him before they should have yep, And so they
• 5:57
  protested it and got an extra lift and that was cool. And then he
• 6:00
  just nailed it. He drops down, buries, it comes straight up like
• 6:04
  it wasn't even there. I'm like, it's sometimes it's not just stng on
• 6:08
  your head, you know, and you you just gotta you gotta set your
• 6:12
  head right and just go have fun. I'm like, dude, just go
• 6:14
  have fun, exactly. Don't worry about anything. Just go have fun.
• 6:16
  Listen to the commands, have fun. And the kid nailed it, so
• 6:19
  it's fun and just like to grow with the deadlift. Who she's like,
• 6:24
  I'm not ramping. I'm like, well a little bit, so why don't
• 6:28
  you think about pulling a stiff like a deadlift and that'll fix that. And
• 6:31
  then she still used her legs and pulled, but that thought stuck in her
• 6:35
  head and she didn't ramp and got the lift really easy. So it's just
• 6:41
  it's little things like that that can go a long way and contest and stuff
• 6:45
  like that. So exactly, like I said, it's crazy to see because
• 6:46
  like I said, you know Nick. You know, to Nick's credit,
• 6:51
  he is very humble. He does not like to, you know, basically
• 6:56
  show his clout that he has, because he does hold a tremendous amount of
• 7:00
  wait wherever we go. But man, you know what Nick does, He
• 7:02
  gives it away practically for free to everybody around him because hey, a nice
• 7:06
  high, a nice gesture, and a quick question and Nick will give you
• 7:11
  the long answer to get it correct. Yeah, sometimes quick question, I'm
• 7:16
  like a long answer. So yeah, it's yeah for sure. And I
• 7:21
  mean the WRPF did great. They're making some changes stuff like that because of
• 7:28
  all the federation stuff that's going on. They are huge influx of competitors they
• 7:31
  have coming into it. Something. Some of these changes are absolutely great,
• 7:36
  and some of these changes are kind of like there was a different vibe at
• 7:42
  this when the other w RPF meets that. I've been too. And don't
• 7:46
  forget about the fun. People are not doing this, are not making huge
• 7:51
  sums of money at this. Yeah, you know, it's it's supposed to
• 7:56
  be for fun. And if you've got to sit there and look and really
• 7:59
  think about it. Then then the lift or got it if you have to
• 8:03
  scrutinize it to the point where you're questioning it anything, it's a good lift
• 8:07
  period at the end. And I mean little things like guys coming up and
• 8:11
  pulling up their dead lift and like jerking at the top and they're like,
• 8:13
  oh, the soft knees and you're like, his k needs any move?
• 8:16
  Yeah, what are you guys talking about? Stuff like that, and and
• 8:20
  there you know this, if you do this to somebody, whether you stay
• 8:24
  down or not, you just gave the down command exactly. And that is
• 8:28
  a massive, massive mistake that that gets made. And there's there's got to
• 8:35
  be away for for lifters to go, hey, wait a minute, I
• 8:37
  got this. That means start, yea. Whether it comes out of her
• 8:41
  mouth or not, it does you start moving your hand down to do the
• 8:46
  lift. You got the that's the start command exactly. It is a start
• 8:48
  command. Right. You need to be fixed. I mean, and the
• 8:56
  top of the knees. I'm sorry, I'm tired of messing with like joints
• 8:58
  and stuff like that. At the top of the knees, sit down and
• 9:01
  put a board across the top of your knees. That's what the top of
• 9:03
  your knees are. Yeah, right right right on top of your knees.
• 9:07
  But that's where the top of the knees are, and then the hip the
• 9:11
  hips. The simple fix really, to be quite honest with you, if
• 9:16
  they need to judge depth and stuff like that so close, so scrutinize it.
• 9:20
  Then you know what, get a you know, a round sticker or
• 9:22
  even a straight line sticker. Yeah, and put it right on the guy's
• 9:26
  right on the guy's Yeah, exactly where you're gonna be, Like, that's
• 9:30
  where I'm calling your desk from, right at the end of it. And
• 9:33
  then it just makes it easier. There's things that we could be doing in
• 9:35
  the sport to make things easier. I love the fact that they're gonna now
• 9:39
  love either shin guards or neoprene sleeves under your socks, so you just pull
• 9:45
  the sock up over the top of it. Yeah, because there's gonna be
• 9:48
  so much less blood on the bar or stuffing like that. This that is
• 9:50
  a brilliant rule change and things that are going on with that. I absolutely
• 9:54
  love that. You can't understand why any power Oaking Federation wouldn't allow that as
• 10:01
  long as it's not going you know, over the top of the knee in
• 10:03
  any way, shape or form, and it's down from the knee like an
• 10:07
  answer or two exactly. You know. It was funny because like they no
• 10:11
  one asked about that because like even after justin headache, was like, what
• 10:13
  I could have did that? He you know, like because that's how you
• 10:16
  guys train, and it's just like and it's just like, you know,
• 10:20
  if that was you know, you know, you have to read the rules
• 10:24
  to to to understand that. But that was a question. You asked,
• 10:26
  Well, I don't know why they don't cover that in the rules briefing.
• 10:31
  Because they have the rules meeting and everybody gathers around and stuff like that,
• 10:33
  everyone's got to bring in their knee. Why wouldn't they say that. Hey,
• 10:37
  by the way, you guys are allowed to use like nie leaves or
• 10:41
  whatever on your shins now for the deadlift, as long as you put your
• 10:45
  sock up over the top of it, or shin guards or you know,
• 10:48
  soccer guards stuff like that. You're allowed to use that now, which is
• 10:50
  brilliant because the amount of blood that's gonna go on the bar and the clean
• 10:58
  just cut your cleanup time way down. Now it's going to be real rare
• 11:01
  for the hands to split open, but it happens. But it's not bad.
• 11:05
  It's a lot easier to clean up than everybody's bloody shins. Smart move,
• 11:09
  thank god, you know, really really do like that. But for
• 11:15
  the most part, it was a really well run. It was neat.
• 11:18
  It was a great contest to go to. It's just we need to keep
• 11:22
  the experience in there, and we also need to realize, don't turn it
• 11:26
  into the IPF. For God's sakes, don't do that. I mean,
• 11:31
  really have the rules the rules, it doesn't they need to be. There
• 11:37
  needs to be a standard, but it doesn't have to be to where,
• 11:41
  you know, you scrutinize every little eaty bitty tiny thing unless it's gonna help
• 11:48
  like a hundred pounds, which it's not. So you know, just fair
• 11:52
  tight is good. It doesn't have to be you know, oh, they're
• 11:58
  soft knees. The funny thing is they were calling people on soft knees all
• 12:01
  the day, but nobody was pulling the shoulders through the top. I couldn't
• 12:05
  understand that, yea, So there was no lockout at the at the top.
• 12:09
  It's strange collector one thing and completely ignore the other. So I mean
• 12:15
  it's good. All in all, they did a great job, I think
• 12:18
  moving forwards, a little bit of technical things like that, and like I
• 12:22
  said, I'm really excited about some of these rule changes stuff like that.
• 12:26
  Not exactly sure they should have threw all of the old records out, like
• 12:31
  leave something there for people to go get. Yeah, but you know,
• 12:35
  all in all, it's it's pretty cool. The organization's doing well. I'd
• 12:39
  like to see them keep progressing forwards as well, and then just make sure
• 12:43
  it's fun exactly. They're they're heading in the right direction, you know what
• 12:46
  I'm saying. Like even when we went to like the I think it was
• 12:50
  like the twenty fourth version of the rules as that day when we got there.
• 12:54
  But that's what they're saying is they're always revisiting, they're always justing,
• 12:58
  they're always changing. So that's what you want. You want, you want
• 13:01
  something that's gonna grow with the sport, and as it grows, of course
• 13:03
  it's gonna change. So and that was that was definitely good to hear it.
• 13:09
  It was it was a fun weekend. We got to enjoy ourselves,
• 13:11
  got sushi after just instead a couple of records, And so you know what
• 13:16
  I'm saying, you're training, you know, of course your training partner is
• 13:20
  going to be almost at that elite level where what he's doing, because you
• 13:24
  know, when you're training with the best, you're gonna become the best.
• 13:28
  Well, his previous best total is seventeen thirty four and his best squad was
• 13:33
  six to fifty five. His best bench was three seventy four, and his
• 13:37
  best was seven oh five. Hepr and everything all of them. He squad
• 13:41
  at six ninety four, he benched three ninety one, and he pulled seven
• 13:45
  sixteen, which he had to pull it twice because they said he had soft
• 13:50
  knees, which was on his second left, which okay, fine, So
• 13:54
  he walked up and he pulled it again just like it was nothing both times.
• 13:58
  I mean, he is on point that day. He he probably could
• 14:01
  have pulled seven thirty three, maybe even seven thirty nine that day pretty comfortably
• 14:07
  without a doubt. So I mean, he's he's progressing, he's moving along.
• 14:11
  I think probably for him, probably a year and a half from now,
• 14:16
  if we go at that pace, he'll probably pull eight hundred. Then
• 14:18
  he'll he'll he'll pull eight hundred from that point on till he doesn't want to
• 14:22
  pull it. Yeah, he's that guy. He's got that kind of genetics
• 14:26
  and ability. So it's just it's just getting him there and not being in
• 14:30
  a rush to get there. The rush isn't to get there, it's to
• 14:35
  once you get there, stay there till you're till you're bored with it,
• 14:39
  or till just get so paint point you can't deal with it, you know,
• 14:43
  Nick, Yeah, you know, I don't know who we're talking about
• 14:48
  there at all, but I'm I'm pretty excited. And then I know he's
• 14:54
  got another meat here in May. Yeah, I remember him saying that he's
• 14:58
  getting ready a season. You got the next one picked out here in May.
• 15:01
  So that's a little bit later than I wanted, but who knows,
• 15:05
  Maybe I'll target that. And then I got an invite to do the animal
• 15:11
  cage at the Arnold, so might be doing that. Trying to get that
• 15:16
  worked out now. I think that would be a lot of fun. Not
• 15:18
  sure whatever whether I want to squat or deadlift or both or whatever, but
• 15:24
  or just come in and do something completely different just for the heck of it.
• 15:30
  Well that's that's the one thing too, is like you got a big
• 15:33
  variety of what the pool from when you get there, because guess what,
• 15:35
  you could do it all at that elite level. You know what. Thanks,
• 15:39
  I just just go and have fun and perform in front of the guys
• 15:43
  and you go to talk to people and go over things. I love answering,
• 15:48
  that's it. Hey, shaking hands and taking pictures. That's what we're
• 15:50
  gonna do. Yep. So it's good stuff. Oh yeah, but so
• 15:56
  on on. On another note, Giants Live had their first Britain Strongest Woman
• 16:00
  this week. That is it, and man it looked like it was just
• 16:04
  going. Like I said, when you're watching strong Man it you know,
• 16:10
  the numbers don't lie when they get the points up there now and you know
• 16:15
  what, it's it's really cool because I mean this was an all girl show,
• 16:18
  all girl show and it was at the Doncaster Dome and I won the
• 16:23
  masters, you know, World's Strongest Man in Doncasters. Yeah, that was
• 16:27
  really cool. It's it's a neat place to perform it. And not only
• 16:32
  that, when you get done, if you're not too beat up, there's
• 16:34
  a you know, an indoor water park sitting right there too that you can
• 16:37
  go in and play slides and do all the other crazy stuff that's sitting right
• 16:42
  there too. So it's it's a neat place. It truly is. It
• 16:45
  seats a couple of thousand people, you know, it's it's it's got enough
• 16:51
  room to do everything you want to do. Yeah, I mean, I
• 16:52
  think I actually have competed in there twice because I think Britain's strongest man was
• 16:56
  in there one year as well. So yeah, it's it's it's a neat
• 17:03
  place to do a contest. Colin and Darren got really sorted out in that
• 17:07
  place. It's yeah, it's pretty sweet. It's a nice smaller venue to
• 17:11
  do something like that. And then the women just knocked out of the park,
• 17:14
  they really did. They live stream it really helps out. Yeah,
• 17:18
  well, yeah, that it does. And it's just neat to see people
• 17:22
  showing up to the show in person. Yeah, because I mean, if
• 17:26
  you want the sport to grow and you want all the divisions to grow and
• 17:29
  do better, you gotta and watch it. Yeah. Yeah, the fans
• 17:34
  gotta show up and want it live. That's it. You know that that'll
• 17:37
  make the biggest difference in the end because then for the promoter putting on the
• 17:41
  contest, they're able to put on the contest regardless of what happens with the
• 17:48
  live streaming. They're still able to take care of everything for the contest with
• 17:52
  you know, an arena like that of capacity, so it makes things a
• 17:56
  lot smoother for them. Oh yeah, but it looks like the log press
• 18:00
  was first and it looks like Andrew Andrea Thompson won it. Lucy Underdown got
• 18:07
  second with seven reps and Rebecca Roberts tied for second with seven reps. Donna
• 18:14
  Moore got fourth with five, and Emma Jane Smith got four reps in so
• 18:19
  that that kind of rounds out the top five in that event, which is
• 18:23
  pretty solid, you know, so it's it's it's pretty cool. Event two
• 18:30
  is the axel deadlift, and Lucy Underdown shocker, she just did looked at
• 18:37
  seven hundred, you know, did eleven reps with that. Rebecca Roberts did
• 18:42
  ten, and Andrea Thompson did eight, Donna Moore did seven, and Katie
• 18:48
  Smith did six and then Nomi Hadley also did six, so she tied for
• 18:55
  fifth in that event. So that's your top five there. So that was
• 18:59
  that was that was pretty solid. I mean, that's that's a good performance.
• 19:03
  The sandbag steeple chase, that was kind of kind of fun to watch.
• 19:07
  It's kind of crazy. Lord Baxter won that in four and thirty seven
• 19:12
  point ninety eight seconds. Lucy Underdown, who again up at the top first,
• 19:19
  second or third, fourth, or got second in four. She got
• 19:26
  second place with four bags in thirty eight point four eight seconds. Rebecca Roberts
• 19:30
  again right up in there, did four in forty point seven six. Donna
• 19:36
  Moore still up in there, did four at fifty two, you know,
• 19:41
  I mean Henley did four. Headley did four in fifty two point three five.
• 19:45
  So that again rounds out your top five. So it's the cream is
• 19:52
  sitting there up at the top and still going exactly. Andrew Thompson ended up
• 19:57
  in eighth and that one which kind of knocked her down a little bit,
• 20:03
  but it's still it's it's pretty pretty consistent, so points after points after the
• 20:12
  yoke carry, I love that event, especially in that arena. That was
• 20:18
  that place is fun to do with yoke, truly is Rebecca Roberts did the
• 20:23
  yoke in nine point six five seconds. Andrea Thompson another one right up there
• 20:29
  at the top again nine point six seven and Lucy Underdown twelve point six six
• 20:36
  seconds. And then Chloe Chloe Brennan Bruin or Chloe Brennan. Sorry, guys,
• 20:45
  I can't see you with my glasses, and I know Chloe, she's
• 20:48
  a sweet girl. Did it thirteen point seven eight seconds. And Naomi Hadley
• 20:55
  did it in thirteen point eight six seconds. So there's some close there's some
• 21:00
  good times some close times too. It's so again your top five is you
• 21:04
  know, still the three that are up there, Rebecca Andrey and Lucy are
• 21:08
  still right up there. It's great to see Chloe jumping in up there too,
• 21:12
  because Chloe is going to be a force to deal with in about four
• 21:15
  or five years. She truly is. She's she's pretty good talent. I
• 21:19
  mean, she's she's going to do well for herself in time. So next
• 21:25
  Power Stairs, Rebecca Roberts wins that event. She does twelve steps in twenty
• 21:33
  nine point seven eight seconds. Lucy Underdown got second place. Can't read the
• 21:37
  time because it is the logos running past there. Twelve thirty three and seventy
• 21:42
  six seconds, okay, and then Claire no, it's it can't be seventy
• 21:49
  six seconds. Well, no, it's twelve thirty three and then like the
• 21:55
  smaller seconds, you know what I mean, Right, So Claire Claire got
• 22:00
  third in that event, Clare Miler and she did twelve and forty one point
• 22:04
  seven six, Donna Moore was fourth in twelve point four five point five seven,
• 22:11
  and Naomi Hadley did twelve in fifty two point nine four seconds. So
• 22:18
  I mean that's that's pretty solid. I mean, just all the way around.
• 22:22
  And so after five events, Rebecca Roberts sixty point five points wins it.
• 22:30
  Lucy Underdown gets second place at fifty nine point five, so they are
• 22:34
  one point apart. Yeah, man and Andrew Thomas Andrew Thompson gets third at
• 22:41
  fifty points, Donna Moore fourth at forty six points, and Naomi Hadley is
• 22:49
  fifth at forty points. So the top five we're pretty much the top five
• 22:55
  all day long. A couple of people changed and jumping in there, in
• 22:57
  and out, but for the most part, real consistent for the for the
• 23:00
  top performers. I mean, and it's it's gonna be kind of neat to
• 23:06
  see these girls get after it. Because one contest is one way. The
• 23:10
  next contest has slightly different events, and so the person who's most consistent is
• 23:15
  overall is going to end up winning. But it's neat to see them being
• 23:18
  this competitive and places switching back and out, back and forth through the whole
• 23:23
  thing so that it literally comes down to the last event. So it's it's
• 23:29
  neat. I mean, it's it's great. That means they're putting on a
• 23:32
  great show as well, exactly exactly, So the contest promoters are picking the
• 23:37
  weights right, the girls are coming out and performing, and it's it's awesome.
• 23:41
  It's it's truly awesome. I hope this sport just keeps developing for them
• 23:45
  and things just keep getting better because I love to see it. I love
• 23:48
  to watch it, and I absolutely support it. So it's it's fun.
• 23:53
  It's it's fun. It's it's gonna be good to see them progress like this.
• 23:57
  So it's yeah, I now it's just one way class too, you
• 24:03
  know what I'm saying. That's the thing, like usually it's on the side
• 24:06
  or they're performing before the men. But the thing is is like they got
• 24:08
  a full on show show right right right, and that's awesome. So congratulations
• 24:15
  to all of you, Rebecca, really awesome job. I mean, just
• 24:19
  absolutely amazing. Couldn't just so proud of your great job. So yeah,
• 24:26
  there we go. Oh yeah, okay, the next thing, what's going
• 24:30
  on? Anything new actually happening with you in Vegas late because you know,
• 24:34
  they just had the Spear and last time I was there, we were really
• 24:37
  trying to make it, but they just had their first concert there and man,
• 24:41
  yeah, it look a lot of this stuff from that. It was
• 24:45
  pretty freaking cool. They kind of changed the way we're going to view a
• 24:52
  lot of stuff, which I don't know. I I don't know if I
• 24:56
  like the fact that it's gonna the arena itself while outperformed the bad Yeah,
• 25:04
  because a lot of the visual stuff that was coming up in there was pretty
• 25:08
  pretty out of control. And then the seating in that place, it's like
• 25:15
  your own private concert. All the speakers that are are pointed right individually directed
• 25:21
  at each seat. Yea, so everybody gets that Chris Clean sound like they
• 25:26
  were sitting right there on all of it. It's one of the sickest places
• 25:30
  ever designed, like for listening to a concert. There's gonna be no bad
• 25:36
  place in there for sound whatsoever. So that part, it's gonna be amazing,
• 25:40
  but like some of the backgrounds ever coming up, I was just like,
• 25:45
  who you two's up there, and why are you gonna watch yout just
• 25:48
  gonna sit there and look at the screen behind you. But it's still it's
• 25:52
  absolutely amazing, and I think you two sold it out like twenty six nights
• 25:56
  in a row, so like, are gonna yeah, yeah, no matter
• 26:02
  where they got a small catalog was interested tiny, They got a few hits,
• 26:07
  yeah, one or two, so yeah, so that's pretty cool.
• 26:11
  That's kind of neat going on. And then uh, you know, I
• 26:17
  find out probably later this week I might be doing some more catching for slaps,
• 26:22
  so that should be fun. That's it would be most likely be a
• 26:25
  power slap. And then one of the things that's in the works for those,
• 26:30
  you know, if for those in the Vegas area or those who are
• 26:32
  close to the Vegas there might be a meet and greet slash Nick working at
• 26:38
  the Barbel Apparel store. That's in the mix. That's in the works.
• 26:41
  We're you know, we get settled a lot of date, but when that
• 26:42
  date is settled, we want to make sure that we give everyone more than
• 26:45
  enough time to be like, come on down, take a picture, get
• 26:48
  an autograph, and then actually be serviced by Nick. I can actually tell
• 26:53
  you the date. Oh, there you go, it's October twenty sixth.
• 26:57
  There you go, October twenty the day, it's October twenty six I just
• 27:02
  got to get the time straight. Oh yeah, because I have another commitment
• 27:04
  in the first part of that day, so I'll come over and I'll do
• 27:08
  that for the last part of that day. I just gotta get that worked
• 27:11
  out. There we go. Once we get it worked out, once we
• 27:12
  know, like, once we have an officially timestamp, we will definitely put
• 27:17
  something out for those who want to the rest of it. Yeah, mark
• 27:18
  down the twenty six I just gotta tell you what time. You know what
• 27:22
  I'm saying, be prepared because that's gonna be pretty fun right there. You
• 27:25
  know, it's gonna be a blast. I love going to that store.
• 27:27
  Oh yeah, you know, and like even to like a Nick got a
• 27:32
  sneak peek and and a product before anyone else was actually able to even get
• 27:37
  their hands on it. So that was pretty nice itself. You know what
• 27:38
  I'm saying. You got one of the first ones in the store. Yeah,
• 27:41
  the new Belts are sweet. I mean they're really nice and they're they're
• 27:48
  strong almost like almost to the point towards like a utility belt, not for
• 27:55
  for like a gun. It's it's a tactical belt, thick, it's strong,
• 27:59
  but like a tactical belt, it gives a little bit though tactical belts
• 28:02
  don't give it, so it gives a little bit. It's magnetic and it
• 28:06
  looks sweet, and I love the thing. I mean, you can get
• 28:10
  it sized right down to your waist and it's it's perfect every time. That's
• 28:14
  it. It was. It was pretty cool when we got You won't get
• 28:17
  an opportunity to see it, you know. And then and then you know,
• 28:19
  Nick, Nick tried. But you know, when you can only get
• 28:22
  one, you can only get one. I'll try to get Oh yeah,
• 28:27
  yeah, we'll work on it. I'm not too worried about it. You
• 28:30
  know, the majority of what I wear, everything's pretty tight, is it
• 28:33
  is true? So but yeah, so it's it's going pretty good. And
• 28:41
  then for those of you, I don't know if you know this or not,
• 28:44
  but I'm usually down at the range is range seven or two on Tuesdays
• 28:48
  and Thursdays. That's my my normal days when I come in. It's not
• 28:52
  one hundred percent because I'll travel, I'll do things. But for the most
• 28:56
  part, if you're in town on a Tuesday or a Thursday, you want
• 29:00
  to stop buy and say hi and maybe shoot some guns with Nick. That's
• 29:03
  the crazy part. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's fun. It's it's neat
• 29:07
  because people come in they're like, I'm Nick, I'll be your RSO today
• 29:12
  and we just got some rules to go over. Have you ever shot guns
• 29:15
  like this before? And they're just like you could be my rs. I'm
• 29:18
  like, yeah, it's gonna be fun, you know. Like say,
• 29:22
  what I always find funny is uh, you know, there's a lot of
• 29:26
  beautiful women that worked there, but the thing is is Nick outshines them,
• 29:30
  you know what I'm saying. So like you say something right now, Nick,
• 29:33
  You're you're massive size when you want When people walk in, they see
• 29:37
  but then they look at you like what the fuck am I staring at look
• 29:42
  at this massive man? You know I know you somewhere TV? Yes,
• 29:48
  other show, Yes, World Strongest Man. Yes, your first day you
• 29:55
  you were spotted and aren't shoo Like yeah, you know what I'm saying.
• 29:57
  Thinking he was gonna be a low key at a job that's it's an internationally
• 30:02
  traveled destiny. Yeah, it's it's my it's kind of like my fun thing.
• 30:07
  I mean it's it's it's gets me out of the house. It's it's
• 30:11
  just fun. I mean, it truly is. And they're an amazing the
• 30:17
  range and everybody down there, Chris Colton, Jared, everybody down there,
• 30:22
  It is just absolutely amazing. They're the greatest people in the world, they
• 30:26
  really are. And it's just fun to go down there and and do that.
• 30:30
  And I mean, I like guns, and the best way to learn
• 30:34
  about guns is to go in a place where people shoot them a lot.
• 30:38
  And I've learned, I've gotten such an education on them, and I know
• 30:42
  how they all work. I know, you know, proper safety with them
• 30:47
  and stuff like that. So it's it's really neat. And then to get
• 30:49
  an opportunity to shoot things that you just could never get your hands on,
• 30:53
  you know, without knowing people or spending an awful lot of money, is
• 30:59
  really really a lot of fun. You know what. The facility is like
• 31:02
  top notch. It's it's just there's no place you should be going to shoot
• 31:07
  in Vegas. If you're not going there exactly. It's a lot of fun.
• 31:10
  It truly is. And you know the draw is too. You guys
• 31:12
  got to remember, you've already had the world's strongest man there, Mark Mitchell
• 31:18
  Hooper, You've had Evan's been there. You've also had Gatton Bolt not that
• 31:25
  long. And you know, every time someone comes to visit Las Vegas,
• 31:27
  that's in the strength and power of the community. Guess where. But oh
• 31:32
  you work there, I want to go. You know what I'm saying that
• 31:34
  Barrick calls. Yeah, Yeah, it's a lot of fun. It truly
• 31:37
  is. It's it's just a blast, and I mean I like it.
• 31:41
  I mean it's it's it's neat. And then the rules and just getting to
• 31:48
  teach people, and you know, people are afraid. I'm like, look,
• 31:51
  don't be afraid. We just follow these basic rules and everything's gonna be
• 31:53
  okay. Exactly. As long as you do that with a weapon you're with
• 31:56
  with a firearm, as long as you always follow the rules with that,
• 32:01
  you're gonna be fine. So we're just going to follow the rules, and
• 32:06
  we follow the rules. And then rule number one, always act like the
• 32:12
  guns loaded no matter what you do. You know, it's pretty simple.
• 32:16
  And if you're going to point it at something, only pointed at something you're
• 32:19
  willing to destroy your kill and know it's behind your tarts something like that,
• 32:23
  and you know, you clear the gun. Whether somebody hands you the gun
• 32:27
  is and this is for everybody in Hollywood, by the way, if someone
• 32:30
  even hands you a prop gun, you always pretend like it's loaded with the
• 32:34
  real thing, and you always clear it and check it yourself. If they're
• 32:37
  blanks in it, then you check it and make sure they're blanks. You
• 32:42
  do that yourself. At the end of the day, the person who has
• 32:45
  the gun in their hand has the responsibility of everything that happens with that gun.
• 32:50
  There is no blaming someone else. It's you. And it's either a
• 32:53
  proper used to the weapon or improper used to the weapon that leads to issues
• 33:00
  it, you know. And that's one of those things too. Is like
• 33:01
  a you know, the thing about seven oh two. It's right down the
• 33:06
  street to one of the greatest gyms that they have in Vegas, which is
• 33:08
  Dragonslayer. Was like, yeah, I always find it funny because like,
• 33:12
  uh, you know, Flex Lewis is doing something, Nick's doing something.
• 33:15
  Because you guys are literally right next to each other when it comes. You
• 33:19
  know, Flex himself is pretty lucky to have you that close to him.
• 33:25
  I'm lucky to be that close to Flex. I mean to be quite honest
• 33:28
  with you, because I mean, it's it's neat because sometimes I'll get off
• 33:32
  work and I'll meet Justin over there and we'll just go over at dragons Layer
• 33:36
  and train right after I get off work and then drive home. So it's
• 33:39
  it's kind of cool. I mean, it really is. And dragons Layers
• 33:43
  are one of the best gyms in this town, so it's it's it's a
• 33:47
  lot of fun. It's it's good. Oh yeah, it's good. Yeah,
• 33:52
  it's amazing. I couldn't want anything better, you know, you know
• 33:57
  what I'm saying. Yeah, well, Nick, you know, I think
• 34:00
  we've pretty much covered uh written strongest women. We talked about the range shit.
• 34:07
  We actually talked about a lot of upcoming events that you're getting ready to
• 34:10
  have. So let's take this out of here. Because you know you always
• 34:14
  got you always want them wanting more, you know, true, true,
• 34:19
  true. So guys, if you like this, please share the heck out
• 34:22
