- 1:41Speaker 3: we appreciate it. You know what I'm saying, Ques, we did,
- 1:45Speaker 3: we did question here is I want to ask you
- 1:52Speaker 3: a question. You often emphasize the importance of staying methodical,
- 1:56Speaker 3: But how can we make progress in an organized way
- 2:00Speaker 3: without forgetting what we learned earlier? I remember you also
- 2:05Speaker 3: mentioning the idea of developing something into second nature. For example,
- 2:10Speaker 3: if I have ten books to study, I should master
- 2:14Speaker 3: the first one completely before moving on to the second one,
- 2:17Speaker 3: or would it be a better to review them in
- 2:20Speaker 3: a rotating manner? If that too much to pass, I
- 2:24Speaker 3: tend to forget things. It reminds me of the strength training.
- 2:29Speaker 3: You know, I really appreciate it. If you could tie
- 2:31Speaker 3: these concepts together.
- 2:33Speaker 4: Okay, So it kind of depends on how you're trying
- 2:36Speaker 4: to learn it. Like, if ten bucks is a lot
- 2:40Speaker 4: of books to learn and read from, let's start there.
- 2:44Speaker 4: If you're taking it for a college you know, college
- 2:46Speaker 4: class or whatever, yeah, you're gonna have to learn a
- 2:50Speaker 4: little bit each week because they're going to go step
- 2:53Speaker 4: by step by step by step in each category and
- 2:56Speaker 4: each subject. If you're already kind of like have read
- 3:02Speaker 4: it and learned it, Yes, learn If you're coulda go.
- 3:05Speaker 4: If you're if you got ten books you need to learn,
- 3:07Speaker 4: go one at a time. Absolutely, go through your first one.
- 3:12Speaker 4: Take notes when you're going through it, write stuff down,
- 3:16Speaker 4: kind of like a personal review. So when you finish
- 3:19Speaker 4: the chapter, write your own personal review that chapter. Write
- 3:22Speaker 4: it down, you know, and the things that you thought
- 3:25Speaker 4: were important enough to remember and use out of that chapter.
- 3:27Speaker 4: That'll help you go back and remember what was in
- 3:30Speaker 4: that in that chapter of that book. And if you
- 3:33Speaker 4: do that for the whole entire book, it doesn't have
- 3:35Speaker 4: to be long dissertation. Oh, this happened, this happened, This
- 3:37Speaker 4: happened it, you know, and like super complicated, just things
- 3:42Speaker 4: that well jar your memory and the important things that
- 3:47Speaker 4: you needed to learn out of that chapter. So I
- 3:50Speaker 4: would definitely do it that way. Just read the chapter
- 3:54Speaker 4: and then jot down things that you felt was important
- 3:57Speaker 4: that you want to apply in some shape or form.
- 4:00Speaker 4: That'll be quick notes for you to look up based
- 4:03Speaker 4: on that book and what you learned. That's probably the
- 4:06Speaker 4: easiest way to do it, and that'll tie into anything lifting.
- 4:09Speaker 4: You should be keeping a journal. Write down your workouts
- 4:12Speaker 4: and then write down how your workouts went. Like if
- 4:15Speaker 4: you get a training program from somebody or something. Okay,
- 4:18Speaker 4: now next to that training program, take notes what worked,
- 4:23Speaker 4: what didn't work? Was this too heavy? Was this too hard?
- 4:25Speaker 4: Was this too easy? All that stuff? Was your technique
- 4:29Speaker 4: correct for the exercise that you were doing. People complain
- 4:34Speaker 4: about the way I trained back, but I trained back
- 4:36Speaker 4: for explosiveness. I don't train back for hypertrophy. So it's
- 4:40Speaker 4: for explosiveness and doing straw mats, so it's very different.
- 4:45Speaker 4: So write it down, take notes, Okay, this went well,
- 4:50Speaker 4: this didn't go well, and review with yourself for you know,
- 4:55Speaker 4: like you know, it doesn't needed a long review. Just
- 4:58Speaker 4: go over what you did week for like fifteen to
- 5:01Speaker 4: twenty minutes, and what you were satisfied with and what
- 5:05Speaker 4: you weren't satisfied with, and readjust goals from there. And
- 5:08Speaker 4: then if somebody else, you know, wrote the program for you,
- 5:12Speaker 4: they should be in contact with you and review that
- 5:15Speaker 4: with them. Hey, this is what I think I got right. Hey,
- 5:17Speaker 4: this is what I think I got wrong, And then
- 5:20Speaker 4: they can help you adjust and move forwards from there.
- 5:24Speaker 4: So hopefully those help. Yeah, there you go.
- 5:27Speaker 3: Yes, you know, just even for context, explain what you thought.
- 5:33Speaker 3: We all understand what methodical means, but what does that
- 5:36Speaker 3: when you say it, what does it really frame you
- 5:39Speaker 3: in thinking?
- 5:40Speaker 4: Well? Slow and methodical means you're just going to move
- 5:44Speaker 4: through every bit of it as you go, so there's
- 5:48Speaker 4: no it's not about getting from A to Z fast.
- 5:52Speaker 4: It's about getting from A to Z thoroughly and not
- 5:55Speaker 4: missing anything in between. That's the difference. Most people want
- 5:59Speaker 4: to get from A to Z as fast as possible,
- 6:02Speaker 4: and so they'll go A, you know, D, AT you
- 6:06Speaker 4: know S v X and then Z and they're like yay.
- 6:12Speaker 4: It's like no, no, no, no, go A to B T
- 6:15Speaker 4: C two D and don't worry about the time. Worry
- 6:21Speaker 4: about getting it done and getting it completely done and
- 6:25Speaker 4: then moving on to the next thing. That's what I
- 6:27Speaker 4: mean by slow methodical. It's not trying to get strong
- 6:31Speaker 4: super fast or get knowledgeable super fast. It's about getting knowledgeable,
- 6:36Speaker 4: getting strong and staying strong and doing those things that
- 6:39Speaker 4: are a processed. Slow methodical also means your food that's
- 6:43Speaker 4: part of your training, your rest that's part of your training,
- 6:48Speaker 4: all of that, how you handle this stress in your life.
- 6:52Speaker 4: That's being methodical. Methodical means every piece of this. Those
- 6:57Speaker 4: those things all add into your gain. You're succeeding or failing.
- 7:05Speaker 4: Your gains are your losses. All those things apply if
- 7:09Speaker 4: you're trying to lose weight and get in better shape,
- 7:12Speaker 4: well you're gonna have to move a little bit more.
- 7:15Speaker 4: You're gonna have to sit down a little bit less.
- 7:17Speaker 4: I mean, Arnold talks about this a long time ago.
- 7:19Speaker 4: If you're trying to lose weight, if you can sleep
- 7:24Speaker 4: or sleep less, sleep a little less. If you can
- 7:30Speaker 4: lay down or stand up, stand up, if you can
- 7:34Speaker 4: stand up or walk, walk, it's just stuff like that.
- 7:39Speaker 4: The more moved, it's the opposite. Once you're done training.
- 7:44Speaker 4: If you have a choice to stand or lay down,
- 7:47Speaker 4: lay down, if you got a chance to lay down
- 7:50Speaker 4: or take a nap, take a nap. If you got
- 7:51Speaker 4: a chance to take a nap or sleep, sleep, the
- 7:56Speaker 4: rest is going to be. It's the same philosophy, just
- 7:58Speaker 4: reversed for trying to do different things. If your body's
- 8:01Speaker 4: trying to recover from heavy, hard workouts, a little hour
- 8:06Speaker 4: nap in the middle of the day is going to
- 8:07Speaker 4: actually make you heal a whole hook heck of a
- 8:09Speaker 4: lot more than you think. You know. Your body is
- 8:12Speaker 4: going to have that downtime where it's completely downtime. When
- 8:14Speaker 4: you're resting, it's completely downtime, and your body's put and sleeping.
- 8:17Speaker 4: Your body's putting themself back together. So those are kind
- 8:21Speaker 4: of what I mean about being methodical. There's like every
- 8:24Speaker 4: little piece of your life functions around that, not every
- 8:29Speaker 4: single piece, but the things that drive you to be successful.
- 8:33Speaker 4: That's what you're trying to do. If you're trying to
- 8:34Speaker 4: be the best you know, beer salesman, if you're trying
- 8:38Speaker 4: to be the best lawyer, if you're trying to be
- 8:41Speaker 4: the best you know, doctor, whatever, you're going to methodically
- 8:46Speaker 4: go through everything that you do to be the best
- 8:48Speaker 4: at it. Everything in your life is going to be
- 8:49Speaker 4: set up around it. If your goal is to be
- 8:51Speaker 4: the best father, everything in your life is going to
- 8:54Speaker 4: be setted up around around being a good dab. But
- 8:57Speaker 4: being good dad is providing, you know, getting a decent job,
- 9:02Speaker 4: making decent money, spending time with your children, teaching them
- 9:05Speaker 4: right from rock, being leading by example, stuff like that,
- 9:10Speaker 4: you know, and being a good person in front of them.
- 9:12Speaker 4: They see that they learn that from you because they
- 9:15Speaker 4: idolize you, So they're going to emulate you and your
- 9:19Speaker 4: example as you get older. So it's a big deal.
- 9:25Speaker 4: That's kind of what.
- 9:26Speaker 3: I'm talking about about that see, and that's that clarification because,
- 9:30Speaker 3: like I said, you know, we all understand what methodical means,
- 9:32Speaker 3: but sometimes you have to get a deeper dive, like
- 9:36Speaker 3: philosophy a mindset, because you know that a lot of
- 9:38Speaker 3: people want to hear that from you, because you know
- 9:40Speaker 3: what I'm saying. We say these things, but if we
- 9:43Speaker 3: have a little bit more meaning behind them, it gets
- 9:45Speaker 3: everyone an opportunity to look inside your brain where all
- 9:49Speaker 3: the knowledge that almost everybody that we meet wants. You
- 9:51Speaker 3: know what I mean.
- 9:52Speaker 4: Yeah, my definition of methodical is going to be different
- 9:55Speaker 4: than just methodical. You know, it's it's and that's kind
- 9:58Speaker 4: of how I did things. You know, when I when
- 10:02Speaker 4: I focused on strong Man, everything in my life was
- 10:05Speaker 4: set up around strong Man. My fun time wasn't going
- 10:08Speaker 4: out on the weekends or doing stuff. It would be
- 10:11Speaker 4: spending time with my family, training and getting enough work
- 10:15Speaker 4: done for me to provide for my family. That's and
- 10:18Speaker 4: that was it, Just that plain and simple, and pretty
- 10:23Speaker 4: much nearly my whole entire straw Man career was spent
- 10:25Speaker 4: like that. I was working fifty plus hours a week
- 10:29Speaker 4: and then spending time with my family and the rest
- 10:32Speaker 4: of my time was training. That's it. That's all I did.
- 10:34Speaker 4: I didn't do a whole lot else. You know, there
- 10:37Speaker 4: was no going out and drinking you know, every Yeah, exactly,
- 10:43Speaker 4: But that's what I gave up to get there. You know,
- 10:47Speaker 4: you got to be willing to give. You You're never
- 10:50Speaker 4: just going to be handed something on a silver platter
- 10:52Speaker 4: without having to sacrifice some in some way, shape or form.
- 10:58Speaker 4: And most of the time you'll sacrifice as time and
- 11:00Speaker 4: where your time is going to be spent, you know,
- 11:04Speaker 4: And that's kind of It's like that for anything. If
- 11:08Speaker 4: you want to be, you know, a great businessman, your
- 11:10Speaker 4: time's going to be spent doing business yep, you know,
- 11:13Speaker 4: and then the rest of it's gonna be spent on
- 11:15Speaker 4: the rest of what's important in your life. And if
- 11:17Speaker 4: you don't do that, you won't have what's important in
- 11:19Speaker 4: your life around. It's that simple.
- 11:23Speaker 3: It is that simple. So you know, it just reminds
- 11:25Speaker 3: me of the podcast you were just doing where you
- 11:27Speaker 3: were talking about investing in yourself.
- 11:29Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 11:30Speaker 3: I think you were just on the show class. It
- 11:31Speaker 3: was a shock podcast itself.
- 11:34Speaker 4: It was actually quite a while ago. Yeah what clip
- 11:36Speaker 4: out today? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it doesn't. Yeah, you have
- 11:40Speaker 4: to invest in yourself. I mean it doesn't do any
- 11:42Speaker 4: good to save for retirement if you don't take care
- 11:46Speaker 4: of your body, What good is it to retire at
- 11:49Speaker 4: sixty five and not be able to do anything. The
- 11:53Speaker 4: goal should be is to do everything at eighty that
- 11:56Speaker 4: you could do it twenty and you're to have a
- 12:00Speaker 4: very good quality of life. And if you save a
- 12:04Speaker 4: lot of money to be able to do those things,
- 12:08Speaker 4: then you should be able to invest in yourself to
- 12:10Speaker 4: do those things. And it's not something that you can
- 12:13Speaker 4: put off and oh, i'll do this later. Doesn't work
- 12:16Speaker 4: that way. Kind of like saving for retirement, You're not
- 12:21Speaker 4: gonna do a very good job saving for retirement. You
- 12:24Speaker 4: know it's sixty six, or at sixty five, or you
- 12:28Speaker 4: know at fifty nine, it's not gonna happen. But you
- 12:33Speaker 4: know it's the same with your health. You can't all
- 12:35Speaker 4: of a sudden go okay, well I'm fifty eight and
- 12:38Speaker 4: I haven't done anything, so now I'm going to try
- 12:40Speaker 4: to get into shape where I can do things that
- 12:42Speaker 4: twenty year olds can do. You're gonna have that's gonna
- 12:46Speaker 4: be a six to eight year fight. Can it be done? Sure?
- 12:50Speaker 4: Are you going to be? Is it gonna cost you
- 12:52Speaker 4: a lot of time effort, and you're gonna learn so
- 12:55Speaker 4: much more about recovery and stuff like that, because recovery
- 12:58Speaker 4: is a lot more difficult as you get older. It's
- 13:00Speaker 4: a lot easier to maintain when you've been doing it
- 13:04Speaker 4: for forty plus years. And just like a fund that's
- 13:09Speaker 4: grown to be millions of dollars off of you know.
- 13:12Speaker 4: I was just talking to my ex boss the other
- 13:14Speaker 4: day and when he graduated college, his dad gave him,
- 13:19Speaker 4: I think like fifty grand and he says, I'll turn
- 13:22Speaker 4: this into a million and wanted to him invest it.
- 13:24Speaker 4: He wasn't gonna give me any more money because he
- 13:26Speaker 4: didn't he but he learned how to invest from him,
- 13:30Speaker 4: and how to pick stock and how to do those things,
- 13:32Speaker 4: and he turned that into a whole lot more than that.
- 13:36Speaker 4: But it took a long time. He goes the first
- 13:38Speaker 4: million took forever. Then it rolls from that point on
- 13:41Speaker 4: and he's a pretty wise man and he's not doing
- 13:44Speaker 4: too bad. So the advice like that you need to
- 13:48Speaker 4: listen to. And it's the same thing with your body.
- 13:51Speaker 4: You know, you need to invest the time into your
- 13:55Speaker 4: body as well, not just financially. You have to put
- 13:59Speaker 4: time your body and your inner self as well. So
- 14:05Speaker 4: it makes a big difference, and it's a lot easier
- 14:08Speaker 4: to maintain if you've been doing it the whole time. Yes,
- 14:11Speaker 4: And I'm not telling you go out and work out
- 14:13Speaker 4: three and a half hours the way I did every
- 14:15Speaker 4: single you know, four or five days a week. I'm
- 14:18Speaker 4: telling you just go spend an hour on yourself on
- 14:21Speaker 4: your physical well being to be physically active in training
- 14:26Speaker 4: at least a minimum of four days a week, and
- 14:30Speaker 4: you'll start getting better from there.
- 14:33Speaker 3: So exactly. Yeah, and just off of that, like I said,
- 14:37Speaker 3: it's like, Nick, you are one of those people who
- 14:40Speaker 3: are a check mark on what the new age is.
- 14:44Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, because you know like you are.
- 14:46Speaker 3: You know, you're fifty six. But the thing is is
- 14:49Speaker 3: you're a different specimen of fifty six because I remember
- 14:52Speaker 3: growing up when you were forty or when you were
- 14:56Speaker 3: you know, let's say fifty, are already looking old. You
- 15:02Speaker 3: are already frail back in the day. You know what
- 15:06Speaker 3: I'm saying.
- 15:07Speaker 4: Yeah, you're already starting your down. You're already starting to
- 15:10Speaker 4: drastically break down. You are way overweight, you had all
- 15:14Speaker 4: kinds of health problems, you were at the doctor all
- 15:16Speaker 4: the time, getting some new pill to help you feel
- 15:20Speaker 4: better or to live better. And that's not that's not
- 15:26Speaker 4: the new thing today. The goal is to be on
- 15:29Speaker 4: as little medical stuff as possible. And you know, muscle
- 15:33Speaker 4: mass creates longevity, period.
- 15:37Speaker 3: It does. It's a new it's a new thing now.
- 15:40Speaker 4: It's it's not, but it's not the new things. People
- 15:43Speaker 4: just now realize it's true.
- 15:46Speaker 3: Yes, yes, the whole.
- 15:50Speaker 4: Entire time, some people figured out, oh yeah this isn't bs,
- 15:54Speaker 4: I'm going to do this, and they benefit from it.
- 15:57Speaker 4: And then you got other people, oh we could just
- 15:59Speaker 4: do this later, can not do this and not do that,
- 16:01Speaker 4: and the doctor will the doctor will take care of me.
- 16:04Speaker 4: The doctor will be back, so you make money from them.
- 16:07Speaker 3: Okay, well also to the doctors and just it's just
- 16:10Speaker 3: from your experience alone, only tell you when something is
- 16:14Speaker 3: about to happen and not how to prevent it ahead
- 16:17Speaker 3: of time.
- 16:19Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't really sit down and teach you, hey,
- 16:22Speaker 4: well if you eat like this and do this and
- 16:24Speaker 4: kind of exercise like this and do these things, yeah,
- 16:27Speaker 4: you're gonna put some wear on your body, but your
- 16:31Speaker 4: quality of life will be ten times better than other
- 16:35Speaker 4: people's quality of life at the same age. And that's
- 16:37Speaker 4: the goal, is to have a good quality of life
- 16:39Speaker 4: all the way through.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Not just you know, not just when you're young exactly.
- 16:46Speaker 3: You know, it's crazy because like I said, you know,
- 16:49Speaker 3: it's one of those things, you know, when we talk
- 16:51Speaker 3: about all the time, we see it all the time.
- 16:53Speaker 3: It's like it's understanding, you know, the try Like even
- 16:55Speaker 3: for myself, I'm on a ton of medication, but I
- 16:57Speaker 3: got a whole bunch of other issues that's popping up.
- 17:00Speaker 3: I have to be on the medication, but I've always
- 17:02Speaker 3: worked to get off those medications. And every time I
- 17:05Speaker 3: get healthier, one drops, one comes off, and that that's
- 17:07Speaker 3: always my goal. But for the majority of all of us,
- 17:10Speaker 3: a lot of our ailments and our problems can be
- 17:13Speaker 3: held with diet, exercise, and also too trying to control
- 17:18Speaker 3: that mindset, you know what I'm saying, because and and
- 17:20Speaker 3: mindset is a voodoo not a voodoo word, but it's
- 17:22Speaker 3: a taboo word where you know, it's all people feel
- 17:25Speaker 3: a tokey. But guess what where you're at now.
- 17:28Speaker 4: Slash attitude, attitude and attitude, mindset, attitude and behavior, they're
- 17:38Speaker 4: all the same thing to a certain degree. But those
- 17:43Speaker 4: three things, if you stay in the positive realm for
- 17:46Speaker 4: all three of those, your life will be a thousand
- 17:49Speaker 4: times better. If you're bad at all of them, you're
- 17:52Speaker 4: gonna have nothing but problems. I mean, and the and
- 17:57Speaker 4: the funny thing is is ego will drive some of that,
- 18:03Speaker 4: you know, really bad. Look at uh to rekill. He's
- 18:08Speaker 4: got that, he's been blessed with everything of the sun,
- 18:13Speaker 4: but he's got a bad attitude when he's not on
- 18:14Speaker 4: a football field. And when you speed at one hundred
- 18:18Speaker 4: miles an hour through a construction zone in front of
- 18:20Speaker 4: the stadium and then are kind of a jerk when
- 18:24Speaker 4: the police pull you over to give you a ticket
- 18:27Speaker 4: and ask you to roll down your window, and you refuse,
- 18:29Speaker 4: and you do these things and then you find yourself
- 18:32Speaker 4: sitting on the curb. That's all your fault, that's not
- 18:37Speaker 4: the police's fault. You are not supposed to drive a
- 18:40Speaker 4: hundred miles an hour in front of a stadium. You
- 18:43Speaker 4: don't have the right to do that. And that's attitude
- 18:46Speaker 4: and behavior on a nutshell sitting right there. And that's
- 18:50Speaker 4: also ego, because well, I make a million dollars on
- 18:54Speaker 4: a run on Sundays, and you know, people like to
- 18:56Speaker 4: watch me play football. Okay, great, some people like to
- 19:00Speaker 4: watch you play football. Still doesn't mean you need to
- 19:03Speaker 4: act like somebody else anybody else. You's got to be
- 19:05Speaker 4: held responsible to all the same stuff as everybody else,
- 19:08Speaker 4: and having a bad attitude going into anything is gonna
- 19:13Speaker 4: make it worse. So go in and have a positive attitude.
- 19:16Speaker 4: There's been time so I've gotten pulled over in a
- 19:18Speaker 4: car and I was driving too fast. I had a
- 19:21Speaker 4: great attitude, like, hey man, sorry, am I bad? I
- 19:23Speaker 4: know I was just trying to get somewhere a little
- 19:26Speaker 4: too fast. I should have left earlier. It's my fault.
- 19:28Speaker 4: So man, I'm sorry. I know you're having a bad day.
- 19:31Speaker 4: Here's my license, here's my registration, here's this, and oh,
- 19:34Speaker 4: by the way, I have a CCW, so I do
- 19:36Speaker 4: have a firearm in the car. And the police officer
- 19:40Speaker 4: looks at me. He goes, man, you know what, please
- 19:47Speaker 4: slow down and you have a great day. Okay, can
- 19:51Speaker 4: you slow down for me? Absolutely, sir, and off I went.
- 19:55Speaker 4: It's all about your attitude. And then there's been other
- 19:58Speaker 4: times where I still have the good attitude. I get
- 20:00Speaker 4: written a ticket, but you know what, he doesn't write
- 20:04Speaker 4: it for the full max is that. So if I'm
- 20:10Speaker 4: sit there and act like a jerk and hey, don't
- 20:12Speaker 4: you know who I am and start doing all that stuff,
- 20:15Speaker 4: don't act like don't you know who I am? Just
- 20:18Speaker 4: act be humble as the things happen, and have a
- 20:22Speaker 4: good attitude when you get through it, and the result
- 20:24Speaker 4: is going to be far better in the end then
- 20:28Speaker 4: what it would be if you had a bad attitude.
- 20:30Speaker 4: Playing and simple. Everybody has bad days. Everybody has bad days,
- 20:35Speaker 4: and it could just be that police officer's bad day,
- 20:39Speaker 4: or that other person it works bad day, or your
- 20:41Speaker 4: boss is bad you know, somebody's having abad your wife's
- 20:44Speaker 4: bad day. Everybody's having a bad day. If you have
- 20:47Speaker 4: a positive day, you're gonna pick up theirs around them
- 20:50Speaker 4: and it's gonna make them feel better about what they're
- 20:52Speaker 4: doing and it might turn their bad day into a
- 20:54Speaker 4: good day. So just do that. It just a little
- 20:58Speaker 4: bit of be a nice, nice, spread nice things around
- 21:02Speaker 4: instead of bad attitudes. You know, and you know, you know,
- 21:07Speaker 4: if if you can't do that, just to understand, the
- 21:12Speaker 4: person that's going to cause a lot of your misery
- 21:15Speaker 4: is the one you're looking at in the mirror. Yep, Okay,
- 21:20Speaker 4: that's my soapbox.
- 21:22Speaker 3: Well, you know, and then here's the thing is like,
- 21:25Speaker 3: it's the things that need to be said out loud
- 21:26Speaker 3: and it just is what it is. But let's move on, Nick.
- 21:30Speaker 3: We actually we're talking about what have you watched lately?
- 21:33Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, because, uh, we're doing a
- 21:36Speaker 3: little movie segment here or TV shows.
- 21:39Speaker 4: Yeah, this should be kind of interesting and kind of fun. Well,
- 21:44Speaker 4: I watched the F one movie. Oh nice, Yeah, that
- 21:48Speaker 4: was pretty That was actually really good. I started getting
- 21:51Speaker 4: into kind of F one a little bit with Netflix
- 21:54Speaker 4: Big Shockers.
- 21:55Speaker 3: You got me because I started watching it with you.
- 21:57Speaker 4: F Yeah, it was it's it's a I really liked
- 22:01Speaker 4: the way they did the show. I really did. And
- 22:04Speaker 4: then so I watched this F one movie and it's
- 22:08Speaker 4: it's pretty spectacular all the way around, and it's got
- 22:12Speaker 4: a lot of twists, it's got a lot of turns,
- 22:15Speaker 4: there's a lot of good things. There's like a lot
- 22:17Speaker 4: of interesting stuff in it. And I just really enjoyed
- 22:20Speaker 4: watching the movie. I felt it was It was one
- 22:22Speaker 4: of the few movies I watched in a while that
- 22:23Speaker 4: I felt it was actually worth the money I spent
- 22:26Speaker 4: on scene. So I was pretty happy with that.
- 22:29Speaker 3: Right, that's good. So without and like I said, we're
- 22:33Speaker 3: not trying to give nothing away, but I know, I
- 22:35Speaker 3: think it's Chris Helmsworth and.
- 22:37Speaker 4: Who else, well, Brad Pitt.
- 22:39Speaker 3: Brad almost the same, just one is a little older.
- 22:44Speaker 4: A lot older, but that's okay. Yeah, So Brad brad
- 22:49Speaker 4: Pitt does a good job playing an old driver that's
- 22:51Speaker 4: coming in that gets the owner of a team really
- 22:55Speaker 4: needs a good person. He's got a decent rookie driver,
- 22:59Speaker 4: but he doesn't have a lot of experience and he
- 23:01Speaker 4: needs to be groomed a little bit. And Brad Pitt's
- 23:05Speaker 4: a very seasoned driver that had some catastrophes earlier in
- 23:10Speaker 4: his career in F one and now just kind of
- 23:12Speaker 4: travels around racing wherever and he can. I mean, the
- 23:16Speaker 4: movie opens and he's racing I think the twenty four
- 23:19Speaker 4: hours and Daytona I think is what it was. Okay,
- 23:24Speaker 4: but and then they win. You know, he gets in
- 23:27Speaker 4: the car and they're in like seventh position and he
- 23:29Speaker 4: gets he gets in the car and they're telling him
- 23:31Speaker 4: to drive easy. He's still got a lot of time
- 23:33Speaker 4: draft and he's like, just drives around everybody and ends
- 23:36Speaker 4: up leading the race, comes and drops the car off
- 23:39Speaker 4: for the next guy. He's like, hey, you lose this position,
- 23:43Speaker 4: you blow this, I'm gonna kill you. Yeah, he's joking
- 23:46Speaker 4: with him, but he's like, I'm gonna kill you. And
- 23:48Speaker 4: then he goes back and he's like, hey, don't wake
- 23:51Speaker 4: me up if we don't win. He goes and ings down,
- 23:54Speaker 4: takes a nap, and sure enough, they won. So that's
- 23:58Speaker 4: kind of how the movie starts. And then his friend
- 24:01Speaker 4: who owns the F one team that he used to
- 24:03Speaker 4: race with, needs his help, you know, and ask him
- 24:06Speaker 4: to come back to racing, and he doesn't. He kind
- 24:09Speaker 4: of says no a few times and he ends up
- 24:12Speaker 4: going back. And it's a pretty good story just all
- 24:14Speaker 4: the way around. It was pretty entertaining, and a lot
- 24:17Speaker 4: of the moves he pulls and stuff like that is
- 24:20Speaker 4: I don't know if you could do that in real life.
- 24:22Speaker 4: I think it was more of a movie, but it
- 24:24Speaker 4: still made the movie good.
- 24:26Speaker 3: Oh go ahead, Well let's give this a little scoring here.
- 24:31Speaker 3: So let's let's we'll try to speak to one of
- 24:33Speaker 3: out of five if I remember, but one out of
- 24:36Speaker 3: five stars what would you give this?
- 24:38Speaker 4: I would probably give it like between four and four
- 24:41Speaker 4: and a half. It was worth the money.
- 24:44Speaker 3: Yeah, it was to make me watch it.
- 24:47Speaker 4: Yeah, it wasn't like it was one of those things
- 24:54Speaker 4: where I was like, yeah, I'm gonna give this a try,
- 24:55Speaker 4: and it was pretty good. I was very satisfied with it.
- 24:58Speaker 4: I'll say, there you go, there we go.
- 25:00Speaker 3: Well you're pleasantly surprised with something. It's really good. It's
- 25:03Speaker 3: like when we watched Prime American Primeval. I was like,
- 25:07Speaker 3: at first, we'll just watch it, and then god, damn.
- 25:12Speaker 4: Good.
- 25:12Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty damn good. Yeah that always see you like said,
- 25:15Speaker 3: when me and it get together, we have a little
- 25:17Speaker 3: bit of downtime, well he throws some something different on
- 25:20Speaker 3: and we end up just completely not doing any work
- 25:24Speaker 3: and watching.
- 25:27Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm sorry, what about you? Yeah, okay, let's
- 25:30Speaker 4: eat some food, watch let's let's actually get some rest
- 25:34Speaker 4: for a change.
- 25:35Speaker 3: Exactly. That's funny.
- 25:39Speaker 4: I saw another movie too, would you watch Thunderbolts?
- 25:43Speaker 3: Thunderbolts? I wanted to watch that. I just haven't had
- 25:46Speaker 3: an opportunity for it. So let me know what you
- 25:49Speaker 3: think that one.
- 25:50Speaker 4: I don't think i'd rate it as high as f one.
- 25:53Speaker 4: But what I expected to see and what I did
- 25:57Speaker 4: see were drastically different. I thought it was. I was
- 26:01Speaker 4: just like, all right, you know what, I need to
- 26:02Speaker 4: watch something new that I haven't seen, and I'm just
- 26:08Speaker 4: going to watch this and we'll see what happens. And
- 26:12Speaker 4: it wasn't horrid. It wasn't Yeah. Yeah, this was kind
- 26:21Speaker 4: of a little slightly different the way they did things,
- 26:26Speaker 4: and they didn't take and warp a whole bunch of
- 26:31Speaker 4: established characters per se. Yeah. They had a guy that
- 26:36Speaker 4: was you know, given the serum to and he became
- 26:40Speaker 4: the new Captain America and it turns it's just kind
- 26:44Speaker 4: of a.
- 26:45Speaker 3: Jerky, which that's exactly how he was in the comic book.
- 26:50Speaker 4: Yeah, and gets removed from Captain America, so you know
- 26:55Speaker 4: he's in it. That was not bad. And then the
- 26:59Speaker 4: other character and it were very similar. I mean, they
- 27:01Speaker 4: were okay, not bad, but they come together as a
- 27:05Speaker 4: team and they start doing stuff and they go from
- 27:10Speaker 4: you know, them nearly being killed because people want to
- 27:16Speaker 4: you know, top secret stuff, they want to get rid
- 27:18Speaker 4: of them and ditch the whole program, to being moved
- 27:21Speaker 4: forwards and saving a lot of people, and it was.
- 27:26Speaker 4: It was good. I mean, it wasn't like life changing
- 27:32Speaker 4: as far as the story goes, but it was good.
- 27:34Speaker 4: He was an entertaining story. It wasn't bad. And Century
- 27:39Speaker 4: him being being like a lab created superhero and having
- 27:45Speaker 4: a bunch of mental issues, and then going from Century
- 27:49Speaker 4: who's basically for all intensive purposes like Superman, Yeah, and
- 27:54Speaker 4: becoming the Void okay, and people just kind of like
- 28:00Speaker 4: disappearing going to the Void. You just he'll like look
- 28:03Speaker 4: at them and there's just like a black spot on
- 28:05Speaker 4: the sidewalk where they were type of things. So they
- 28:10Speaker 4: have to figure out how to deal with him and
- 28:11Speaker 4: stuff like that. So it's it's it's it's not bad.
- 28:15Speaker 4: It's not bad. Like I said, It's not something you're
- 28:18Speaker 4: gonna like, oh my god. It's not like watching Star
- 28:21Speaker 4: Wars for the first time when your whole life has changed.
- 28:24Speaker 3: Is that, or like the first Avengers movie or you know,
- 28:27Speaker 3: anything of those aspects. Because like I said, I am
- 28:30Speaker 3: a huge Marvel fan. Always happened heavy in comic books,
- 28:34Speaker 3: credit comic cards. Is that comic book fan not necessarily heavily.
- 28:40Speaker 3: Disney is allowed to heavily Marvel, Yeah, heavily comic book
- 28:44Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, just like you said, because
- 28:47Speaker 3: you know that the Disney has to make their approach,
- 28:51Speaker 3: they have to make you know their things. But you
- 28:53Speaker 3: know they're on a different path once again, and so
- 28:56Speaker 3: hopefully the movies will be.
- 28:57Speaker 4: It's still hidden ownership of the day. It's the funds.
- 29:01Speaker 4: It's the hidden money and the funds that direct the
- 29:03Speaker 4: fund managers to vote that keep Eiger and Kathleen Kennedy
- 29:08Speaker 4: and the positions that they're in. I mean, if it
- 29:11Speaker 4: was the private individuals that own stock in those companies,
- 29:15Speaker 4: they would they would have been fired a long time ago.
- 29:18Speaker 4: But the.
- 29:21Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, thistes, Yeah, yeah, we'll go into a completely
- 29:26Speaker 3: different subject on that matter. But you know, the Thunderbolts.
- 29:29Speaker 3: I've read their comic books. I loved. I loved the
- 29:31Speaker 3: whole backstory, and you know, hopefully, like I said, I
- 29:34Speaker 3: always look for Easter eggs to see what they recall.
- 29:38Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. Like I said, the last
- 29:39Speaker 3: few of the Marvel movies, I kind of been like,
- 29:41Speaker 3: I like them. I watched them, but I could have
- 29:43Speaker 3: waited for it to come come on.
- 29:44Speaker 4: TV, right right, So, like I said, Thunderbolts wasn't half bad.
- 29:51Speaker 4: It was it was I was entertained, I wasn't bouncing
- 29:56Speaker 4: off the walls. But it wasn't the you know bum
- 29:58Speaker 4: that I spent the money around it either. So F
- 30:00Speaker 4: one was pretty solid, that was really good. All right.
- 30:05Speaker 3: So if we had to put thunderbolts on that one
- 30:07Speaker 3: to five scale.
- 30:11Speaker 4: Probably a three and a half, maybe three and three quarters.
- 30:15Speaker 3: There you go, three and three quarters. I can respect
- 30:17Speaker 3: that because guess what, you know, what I'm saying that,
- 30:18Speaker 3: let you know, it's almost it's just good enough to
- 30:22Speaker 3: recommend That's what I would saying. Let's say, even at
- 30:26Speaker 3: even if we define scores, a three is a strong
- 30:29Speaker 3: recommendation or a recommendation, but anything over that's just a
- 30:32Speaker 3: little bit, a little bit more of a recommendation.
- 30:36Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, it's like you won't be totally disappointed if
- 30:39Speaker 4: you watch it. It's the easiest way to put it.
- 30:42Speaker 4: I think.
- 30:44Speaker 3: All right, Well, you know, one of the things we
- 30:45Speaker 3: wanted to cover we talked about last time, is covering
- 30:48Speaker 3: the Rajah incident with him and Psycho Stuh. You know,
- 30:54Speaker 3: I've seen a couple of things Stew's out of the hospital.
- 30:56Speaker 3: I haven't really read much into it. But let's let's
- 30:59Speaker 3: get your thoughts on that.
- 31:02Speaker 4: It's just flat on unacceptable. I mean, he offended him,
- 31:10Speaker 4: so it makes it okay for him to just beat
- 31:13Speaker 4: the living snot out of him. No, if you that
- 31:18Speaker 4: offended by somebody, walk away, have some class, have a
- 31:23Speaker 4: brain in your head, and anybody that would justify that
- 31:27Speaker 4: that being is okay. They need to be in that position. Yeah,
- 31:34Speaker 4: because you've offended. Anybody who would justify for that thumb
- 31:37Speaker 4: has offended somebody somewhere, yep. And if that's okay, then
- 31:43Speaker 4: it's probably then what about when that's you that's offended
- 31:47Speaker 4: somebody like that, and so they're just gonna be able
- 31:51Speaker 4: to do that to you, and you're just gonna try
- 31:54Speaker 4: to make that okay. It's not okay.
- 31:56Speaker 3: It is not okay.
- 31:58Speaker 4: His life, his livelihood, his family, his physical wellbeing were
- 32:03Speaker 4: never in any danger ever. Yep. The only time that's
- 32:09Speaker 4: justified is if you or your family is physically being
- 32:15Speaker 4: attacked and you could die. Yes. No, you physically attack somebody,
- 32:21Speaker 4: it doesn't it doesn't matter. You're it's on. Yeah. People
- 32:26Speaker 4: have the right to defend themselves. That's not it. There
- 32:30Speaker 4: was no defense. There was no there isn't he wasn't
- 32:33Speaker 4: defending himself. Well, yeah, so he wasn't. He wasn't defending himself.
- 32:39Speaker 4: They're in the ring and they're wrestling and they're doing stuff,
- 32:42Speaker 4: and he just decides, I'm mad at this guy. I'm
- 32:45Speaker 4: just I'm gonna have zero self control and I am
- 32:50Speaker 4: just going to pummel this guy until he's unconscious and
- 32:53Speaker 4: then I'm just gonna keep hitting him.
- 32:55Speaker 3: Yeah, aad first without any protection for himself, because because
- 32:59Speaker 3: he and just is just off the stuff that I know.
- 33:03Speaker 3: Wrestling's a work and when I mean to work, it's
- 33:07Speaker 3: planned out to a point with a determined outcome. And
- 33:12Speaker 3: typically if someone's coming from the outside in, as in
- 33:16Speaker 3: like say Rajah was in on the work and then
- 33:19Speaker 3: it was and it was a horrible accident, as in
- 33:22Speaker 3: like the work went wrong. But that wasn't the case here.
- 33:25Speaker 3: He was on an app called kick and people were
- 33:29Speaker 3: egging him on, talking about you're gonna let him do that.
- 33:32Speaker 3: But also understand, hey, you're there as a guest, you're
- 33:36Speaker 3: sitting down watching the show, and then you have now
- 33:39Speaker 3: crossed the line by literally jumping in on this guy,
- 33:43Speaker 3: attacking him, beating him. I believe he lost seventeeth was
- 33:48Speaker 3: a little bit of a coma, you know what I'm saying.
- 33:50Speaker 3: And also too, wrestlers, when they get slammed, they're prepared
- 33:53Speaker 3: to take the blunt, take the bump. That's yes, he
- 33:59Speaker 3: was knocked out and then got slammed head you know,
- 34:02Speaker 3: head bounce off the mat and everything. And for those
- 34:04Speaker 3: who don't know, those rings, it's two by fours running
- 34:09Speaker 3: across the bottom, you know what I'm saying, with a
- 34:12Speaker 3: thin canvas over it.
- 34:14Speaker 4: Yeah, in some plightway. Yeah, yeah, so bouncing his spring.
- 34:18Speaker 4: But he dropped him on the back of his head.
- 34:23Speaker 4: And like I said, he had zero self control. Zero.
- 34:28Speaker 4: How can you go through life with zero self control?
- 34:31Speaker 4: That's a behavior problem, that's a hymn problem. That's a
- 34:35Speaker 4: I haven't been told no by my father problem. That's
- 34:39Speaker 4: being a bad dad. You raise a kid and you
- 34:43Speaker 4: know he's a problem. Why did you raise him that way?
- 34:48Speaker 4: That solely sits on your head. You're the one that
- 34:50Speaker 4: raised him that way. If you'd have told him no
- 34:52Speaker 4: and he would learn no means no, might Bobby face
- 34:56Speaker 4: in prison time?
- 34:58Speaker 3: That's it, because we still don't even know what's going
- 35:00Speaker 3: to happen. From that, because I knows he released a
- 35:04Speaker 3: statement saying that you know, he he is still.
- 35:06Speaker 4: To prosecute, doesn't prosecute just because whatever. I'm sure they'll
- 35:11Speaker 4: come to a settlement and stuff like that, but it's
- 35:15Speaker 4: still it's just flat out unacceptable. And that should like
- 35:18Speaker 4: squarely completely on his dad's head because his dad didn't
- 35:26Speaker 4: show him what no means and teach him properly what
- 35:30Speaker 4: discipline is.
- 35:32Speaker 3: Is it restraint?
- 35:33Speaker 4: Restraint? Part of being a man. Is part of being
- 35:38Speaker 4: a man is being extremely extremely dangerous. Yep. The best
- 35:43Speaker 4: part about being a man, the non toxic part.
- 35:45Speaker 3: Is showing restraint exactly.
- 35:49Speaker 4: That's the part that's the difference between a toxic mill
- 35:54Speaker 4: and a man. You can do all those things that
- 35:57Speaker 4: you need to do to protect yourself, your family, and
- 36:01Speaker 4: your loved ones, but you don't walk around that way
- 36:06Speaker 4: and you show restraint. When you need to show restraint,
- 36:09Speaker 4: you can go and you gotta go, but you show
- 36:11Speaker 4: restraint exactly exactly. You know.
- 36:15Speaker 3: Well, you know, like I said, we I think we
- 36:16Speaker 3: covered that pretty thoroughly just that fast, you know, with
- 36:23Speaker 3: that being said, and you're moving an exception, you know,
- 36:25Speaker 3: we want to get into a little bit of training.
- 36:28Speaker 3: How's your training actually been looking this week?
- 36:31Speaker 4: This week it was pretty good. I did hatfield squats.
- 36:35Speaker 4: I did five hundred for ten. I was pretty happy
- 36:37Speaker 4: without that till I did it. That I was trying
- 36:43Speaker 4: to breathe for a while. And then I did some
- 36:46Speaker 4: black poles. I did seven hundred for a set of ten,
- 36:49Speaker 4: so I stayed kind of on the lighter side.
- 36:53Speaker 3: And he said seven hundred for the lighter side for
- 36:56Speaker 3: those that are listening.
- 36:57Speaker 4: Yeah, because I'll use you got nine hundred plus on
- 37:00Speaker 4: black poles, and then I did some shrugs. I did
- 37:04Speaker 4: the one hundred and fifty pound dumbells for a set of sixty,
- 37:08Speaker 4: and then I did those stiff like a deadlist with
- 37:11Speaker 4: the dumbbells. I did two sets of ten with one
- 37:13Speaker 4: hundred and fifties and then gluten ham raises with hyper
- 37:18Speaker 4: extensions and the eighty pound cutabel for added weight, and
- 37:23Speaker 4: my hamstrings were pretty pretty wrecked after that. Then I
- 37:28Speaker 4: went out in the street and I took my one
- 37:30Speaker 4: hundred pound rubber tire and dropped two hundred pound plates
- 37:33Speaker 4: on it, which this street out in front of my
- 37:36Speaker 4: new house sticks a lot more in my whole pound.
- 37:42Speaker 3: A little more tack here.
- 37:43Speaker 4: Huh yeah, So a three hundred pound tire would be
- 37:47Speaker 4: like a four hundred and twenty pound tire at the
- 37:49Speaker 4: other house. So did a couple links with that, got it,
- 37:54Speaker 4: blew up my legs even more, and then got some
- 37:56Speaker 4: good cardio went with it after that and felt great, felt.
- 37:59Speaker 3: Really And then can you give me a little bit
- 38:03Speaker 3: of the methodology behind the hat those squads, because uh,
- 38:06Speaker 3: you know, not too many people use them, but you
- 38:08Speaker 3: do see people out there you just seem to you
- 38:10Speaker 3: use I always seem you do them quite a bit
- 38:12Speaker 3: more often.
- 38:13Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's fun. You can use it in a
- 38:16Speaker 4: couple different ways. One, you can use it on working
- 38:20Speaker 4: on getting better depth and still being able to balance
- 38:23Speaker 4: yourself so you can really sit down in a hole
- 38:26Speaker 4: and still be in a good position and get out
- 38:28Speaker 4: of it, and you can self spot yourself at the
- 38:30Speaker 4: same time. So it's it's got like three basic you know,
- 38:35Speaker 4: big things that are with that, I was working more
- 38:39Speaker 4: just to get deeper ranges of motion and work on
- 38:41Speaker 4: getting down a little bit lower, and then just working volume,
- 38:46Speaker 4: you know, for reps with that way, because five hundred
- 38:49Speaker 4: is not super heavy, it's not real light, but it's
- 38:52Speaker 4: not super heavy when you're when you're squatting in the eights,
- 38:56Speaker 4: it's it's it's a decent way so or even in
- 39:01Speaker 4: the sevens for that matter. Yes, it's pretty good. I
- 39:06Speaker 4: was just trying to get some volume and work on
- 39:08Speaker 4: my depth, so that's what I use it for. But
- 39:10Speaker 4: you can also do it to do heavy singles and
- 39:13Speaker 4: overload singles. So say maybe you're squat and eight hundred,
- 39:17Speaker 4: well you can put eight point fifty on there and
- 39:20Speaker 4: go down, keep your balance, hit the hole and come
- 39:22Speaker 4: out of the hole and get up with just a
- 39:24Speaker 4: little bit more weight and you'll get used to handling
- 39:27Speaker 4: that weight and then when you go to say regular
- 39:30Speaker 4: squat like eight twenty eight, twenty five, it's going to
- 39:33Speaker 4: feel a lot better. Your body will be used to
- 39:36Speaker 4: it type of thing. It's a safe way to overload
- 39:39Speaker 4: there we go.
- 39:39Speaker 3: See, And that's why I asked, because, like I said,
- 39:42Speaker 3: there's a lot of people out there, you know, they
- 39:43Speaker 3: always want to they want to want to go harder.
- 39:46Speaker 3: But it's like, you know, there's a certain way to
- 39:47Speaker 3: over there's a certain way to progress, and there's an
- 39:50Speaker 3: easy way to progress, you know, right.
- 39:55Speaker 4: But when I use it for like reps and getting depth.
- 39:59Speaker 4: The other one I use for overload. I'll do one.
- 40:03Speaker 4: Those will kind of rotate around, like every three weeks.
- 40:07Speaker 4: I'll do the one for the reps, every three weeks,
- 40:09Speaker 4: I'll do one for the heavy single, and then I'll
- 40:11Speaker 4: regular squat or Zertzer squat in the in betweens on those.
- 40:15Speaker 3: There you go, there you go, And you know, you
- 40:19Speaker 3: do the combination of hyper extension and gluten hams and.
- 40:26Speaker 4: It's on a forty five degree machine too, It's not
- 40:29Speaker 4: on a regular glute hammer.
- 40:30Speaker 3: And here's the thing. Explain the reason, because you you
- 40:34Speaker 3: are a heavy hamstring training person. I know.
- 40:37Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, when you're deadlifting, a large part of your
- 40:41Speaker 4: deadlift is ham strings. And the stronger your hamstrings are,
- 40:45Speaker 4: the stronger your deadlift is. And it's a great way
- 40:48Speaker 4: to work the heck out of your hamstrings without overworking
- 40:51Speaker 4: your lower back. And it's still going to work your
- 40:52Speaker 4: lower back quite a bit too, especially when you get
- 40:54Speaker 4: to the extensions. But that being said, it's really ends
- 40:58Speaker 4: up focusing on your glutes and on your hamstrings, and
- 41:01Speaker 4: it's a nice alternate exercise that won't put a whole
- 41:06Speaker 4: lot of active direct pressure on your spine. There are,
- 41:12Speaker 4: so it's a good way to work your hamstrings without
- 41:14Speaker 4: doing that.
- 41:16Speaker 3: These are pro tips from Nick Bess, So please understand
- 41:20Speaker 3: the goal that you're hearing right now.
- 41:21Speaker 4: Yeah, No, that's that one's pretty good. That one. That's
- 41:25Speaker 4: a big deal. It really is, because a lot of
- 41:29Speaker 4: people their lower back will just get fried from putting
- 41:32Speaker 4: like deadlifts and you know, over and over and black
- 41:36Speaker 4: poles and just all the heavy stuff. So you need
- 41:38Speaker 4: to find something where you're still going to work a
- 41:40Speaker 4: body part that you feel is lagging without putting direct
- 41:43Speaker 4: pressure on you know, the vertebra at the same time.
- 41:47Speaker 4: So that's that's that's a great one that I found
- 41:50Speaker 4: that does that.
- 41:51Speaker 3: Yeah, And like I said, you do what effortlessly with
- 41:54Speaker 3: an eighty pound cannible in your hand? And I just
- 41:57Speaker 3: be like, all right, Nick, that's what we're doing.
- 42:00Speaker 4: Well, I guess a couple of sets of ten, that's
- 42:02Speaker 4: for sure, and I make fire by the time I'm done,
- 42:07Speaker 4: So my hamstrings and my glutes are pretty lit up.
- 42:09Speaker 4: It's not effortlessly. It just looks, doesn't you know, that way.
- 42:14Speaker 3: It doesn't feel that way, but you make it look
- 42:16Speaker 3: that way.
- 42:17Speaker 4: Yeah, well, appreciate that.
- 42:20Speaker 3: All right, let's move on to our last subject here.
- 42:24Speaker 3: The Rogue Invitational is coming up. It's gonna be in
- 42:28Speaker 3: Scotland this year. Yeah and very cool. And there they've
- 42:33Speaker 3: already announced a few athletes showing up. We have Evan Singleton,
- 42:39Speaker 3: who is Yeah, he is on a tear, and I
- 42:42Speaker 3: hope he stays on this tear because goddamn, if he
- 42:45Speaker 3: wins the Rogue and is dialed in like a fucking missile,
- 42:49Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, it just is what it is.
- 42:52Speaker 4: Could be sitting in a really interesting spot because if
- 42:56Speaker 4: he ruins the Rogue, which I think he.
- 42:59Speaker 3: Can, yes, I do too, and.
- 43:03Speaker 4: With his mind, with his mind. Now, if he wins
- 43:07Speaker 4: the Rogue and there's the Arnold, there's only one left after that,
- 43:14Speaker 4: that's it. He'll be the second person that went off
- 43:16Speaker 4: for that's it.
- 43:17Speaker 3: If if it can be done, I think he can
- 43:20Speaker 3: do it.
- 43:21Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I definitely think he's got the ability to
- 43:24Speaker 4: do it. It'll be interesting though, to see how how this goes.
- 43:30Speaker 4: So go ahead, keep going with the rest of the guys.
- 43:32Speaker 4: But I'm I'm I really want to see Evan pull
- 43:35Speaker 4: this off. So I want to see Austin. So it's
- 43:41Speaker 4: hardly a bunch of friends that are doing it.
- 43:43Speaker 3: Lucas, you guys are all friends, you know what I mean.
- 43:47Speaker 4: Lucas's Lucas is right there too, Lucas.
- 43:50Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's exactly. He's got a few things he's
- 43:55Speaker 3: and he's dialing on him in too. He's another one
- 43:57Speaker 3: of those athletes who consistently works on what he's trying
- 44:01Speaker 3: to build. And I've we've seen him. We we actually
- 44:05Speaker 3: had him on the podcast when he became America's Strongest
- 44:08Speaker 3: Man and then uh and then you know, we talked
- 44:12Speaker 3: to him and then all of a sudden, you know,
- 44:13Speaker 3: he had the invitation for World Strongest Man, but he
- 44:16Speaker 3: knew he wasn't prepared, so he didn't accept it. But
- 44:19Speaker 3: guess what, he did make it the very next year,
- 44:21Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. And I think that was
- 44:23Speaker 3: a big move because he you know, he he discussed
- 44:25Speaker 3: on what he needed to work on, and I think
- 44:26Speaker 3: he really dialed it.
- 44:28Speaker 4: He did clearly, yes, and he's doing pretty good and
- 44:33Speaker 4: he put near one the strongest man on earth. He
- 44:35Speaker 4: was right there, he was right there. You know.
- 44:37Speaker 3: We have Tom Evans next. All right, that's another rookie
- 44:41Speaker 3: who won uh the strong Man you know, the shot
- 44:45Speaker 3: classic got the invite to Strongest Man in our strongest
- 44:49Speaker 3: Man in the World and on Earth is the strongest
- 44:53Speaker 3: man on Earth. Get that right, don't get it wrong. Exactly,
- 45:00Speaker 3: that's it, Strongest on Earth, strongest man on Earth. And yeah,
- 45:05Speaker 3: and then we actually had him on Legends of Iron
- 45:07Speaker 3: when we were doing that podcast and just communicating to him,
- 45:11Speaker 3: and then he got his uh World Strongest Man in
- 45:14Speaker 3: uh invite to and we actually got to see him
- 45:17Speaker 3: perform at that Myrtle Beach performance.
- 45:21Speaker 4: Exactly. He's pretty good and he got third the Strongest Man.
- 45:24Speaker 3: On Earth exactly.
- 45:26Speaker 4: So now he's he's getting bigger, he's getting stronger, he's
- 45:30Speaker 4: getting better. Yes, so it's he keeps improving. Yeah, he's
- 45:36Speaker 4: also going to be somebody who's there's there's a core
- 45:40Speaker 4: now of about seven or eight guys that there's a
- 45:43Speaker 4: couple that are just a notch better. But there's there's
- 45:46Speaker 4: like seven or eight guys the top six or seven
- 45:50Speaker 4: they're gonna could anybody could interchange and win. That's it
- 45:56Speaker 4: until you get to Hooper and.
- 45:59Speaker 3: The result, and he's dialing it in for himself right now. Too,
- 46:02Speaker 3: So you know he's coming to this too. Isn't exactly
- 46:05Speaker 3: he should be well, you know it's not announced yet,
- 46:07Speaker 3: but he that I believe he's on that list. And
- 46:09Speaker 3: then the first person who's actually invited was Austin Androtti.
- 46:13Speaker 4: Yep, you know what I'm saying. He's he's a good kid,
- 46:16Speaker 4: he's smart and he listens. Yes, he he's That's what
- 46:21Speaker 4: I mean, straw Man. Right now, there's a core of
- 46:23Speaker 4: about six six of these guys at least that are
- 46:27Speaker 4: just unbelievable. They're going to be here and they're going
- 46:30Speaker 4: to be battling for the next five to ten exactly,
- 46:35Speaker 4: in some cases fifteen years. Yep. You know, if the
- 46:38Speaker 4: guys are smart with what they're doing, they can do
- 46:40Speaker 4: it a long time. So it's Austin's and then Nick
- 46:46Speaker 4: as well. I mean, they're all going to be right
- 46:48Speaker 4: there exactly. They're all great guys, they are all.
- 46:53Speaker 3: And here's the thing too, it's gonna be the Rogue
- 46:56Speaker 3: Invitational is going to be held in Scotland October thirty first, Edinburgh.
- 47:04Speaker 3: Thank you for correcting me from October thirty first to

- 47:35Speaker 3: get you know, rogue invitation whoever's putting it on. You know,
- 47:39Speaker 3: we just throwed it out there because you never know.
- 47:41Speaker 4: Yeah, No, for sure, I would love to do that.
- 47:43Speaker 4: A lot of fun, exactly'd be good to see those
- 47:46Speaker 4: guys getting too.
- 47:47Speaker 3: Yeah, and did you you guys was it Ireland or Scotland?
- 47:50Speaker 3: Did you guys went for strongest man on.
- 47:52Speaker 4: Earth, strongest man in history, in.
- 47:55Speaker 3: History saying the wrong things today?
- 47:59Speaker 4: Sorry, I love you. Uh No, we were in Scotland.
- 48:03Speaker 3: Okay.
- 48:04Speaker 4: We went to Braemar and then we went to the
- 48:06Speaker 4: bridge and stuff like that. So we're Donald Denny walk
- 48:09Speaker 4: with the stones and stuff.
- 48:11Speaker 3: So yeah, we went you give us a little bit
- 48:13Speaker 3: of backstory on that Denny Stone, because I know you
- 48:15Speaker 3: only did it one time, and you know Brian kicked
- 48:17Speaker 3: its ass.
- 48:18Speaker 4: But yeah, well, me doing the denny Stones that day,
- 48:22Speaker 4: I didn't think I was gonna be able to do
- 48:23Speaker 4: them at all. The week before that, we were in
- 48:27Speaker 4: England and we did the barrel lift where both Brian
- 48:32Speaker 4: and I went up to over two thousand pounds and
- 48:34Speaker 4: I messed up my upper back bad. I just felt
- 48:38Speaker 4: it give and it was extremely painful. I'm yeah, and
- 48:44Speaker 4: I had basically seven days to bathe in DMSO and people.
- 48:51Speaker 3: Don't know what DSMO is, but god damn, this is brutal.
- 48:55Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it'll help you heal faster and gets inflammation
- 48:58Speaker 4: out pretty fast. But boy doesn't make a stake. Eddie, Eddie, Eddie,
- 49:03Speaker 4: and Eddie makes no bones and letting me know about
- 49:05Speaker 4: it all the time. But uh, it got me to Eric.
- 49:11Speaker 4: I didn't think I was able to pick him up,
- 49:12Speaker 4: and then I picked him up and I got a
- 49:13Speaker 4: few steps with him, so I was pretty happy. I
- 49:16Speaker 4: would have loved to do those completely healthy, I really
- 49:19Speaker 4: would have. But that's okay. I mean, there's another day exactly,
- 49:24Speaker 4: but It was fun, and Brian went up there and
- 49:26Speaker 4: killed it, and the kid that had set the world
- 49:28Speaker 4: record like the week before found out we were coming
- 49:32Speaker 4: and stayed a whole other week and then tried to
- 49:36Speaker 4: go up there and break Brian the record. Brian just
- 49:39Speaker 4: set just set like right after we did it. Oh,
- 49:43Speaker 4: it's just like, dude, come on, really, yeah he didn't do.
- 49:47Speaker 3: It, but oh yeah, you know, Brian is a different
- 49:51Speaker 3: breed and a different size human, so you know he's
- 49:54Speaker 3: gonna do what Brian's gonna do.
- 50:00Speaker 4: Yeah, so it was it was. It was really neat
- 50:04Speaker 4: getting to be up on that bridge though, because not
- 50:07Speaker 4: everybody that tries those things get to do on the bridge.
- 50:09Speaker 4: Most of them do it down by the house. We
- 50:11Speaker 4: got to do it up on the bridge and they.
- 50:12Speaker 3: Stopped terraffic, and yeah.
- 50:14Speaker 4: We were very appreciative everybody, even though that you know,
- 50:18Speaker 4: had to sit there and wait for us because they
- 50:21Speaker 4: stopped the road. They stopped the traffic on the road
- 50:23Speaker 4: going in both directions.
- 50:24Speaker 3: Oh okay, so yeah, I didn't know that.
- 50:27Speaker 4: Was the road.
- 50:27Speaker 3: I thought it was just a bridge that was there.
- 50:29Speaker 4: No, it's it's a road that goes over the top
- 50:32Speaker 4: of the bridge.
- 50:33Speaker 3: Okay and the yeah, okay, so it was daily use,
- 50:35Speaker 3: so they are you days definitely stopped traffic.
- 50:37Speaker 4: Yeah, people could not get to their homes or out
- 50:40Speaker 4: away from their homes where we were only up there
- 50:43Speaker 4: about thirty forty five minutes. That's why we got there.
- 50:46Speaker 4: And we literally had almost no time to play with
- 50:49Speaker 4: the stuff. We had almost no time to I think
- 50:52Speaker 4: the nickelstones were there and we warmed up with those
- 50:54Speaker 4: and then yeah, turned and went and just started doing it.
- 50:58Speaker 4: Was we were very we we were very we had
- 51:04Speaker 4: to stick to the time schedule. We were we were running
- 51:06Speaker 4: very strict.
- 51:06Speaker 3: Oh yeah, when you're well, when you're on a when
- 51:09Speaker 3: you're on a TV set, that's just what it is.
- 51:11Speaker 3: You know, time is money literally.
- 51:13Speaker 4: Unless you're black on Ivy Road and Eddie's with you
- 51:19Speaker 4: and the police officer recognizes Eddie, so he stands there
- 51:23Speaker 4: and kind of keeps nye on things. And after that
- 51:27Speaker 4: everybody in the car is quit complaining.
- 51:29Speaker 3: That's it. Well, here's another question for for that show.
- 51:34Speaker 3: Did you guys was it in Scotland? You guys did
- 51:37Speaker 3: the cabers and uh, would you guys throw? Do you
- 51:42Speaker 3: guys shot put?
- 51:43Speaker 4: Or yeah, we did the Bramer stone. There you go
- 51:47Speaker 4: see the opener of the brainer. I think it was
- 51:48Speaker 4: the brain Maer. And then uh, then we went and
- 51:52Speaker 4: did the caver and we used the challenge caber, the
- 51:54Speaker 4: one that I think two people have flipped ever. And
- 51:58Speaker 4: we didn't get to we didn't get to play with
- 52:00Speaker 4: it like before time. We were just trying to pick
- 52:02Speaker 4: it up and do it. And then of course I
- 52:05Speaker 4: hit myself right between the legs with it and had
- 52:08Speaker 4: to take a knee. That was right on camera for
- 52:10Speaker 4: the whole world. See that's awesome.
- 52:12Speaker 3: Well I don't think I don't think that made it
- 52:14Speaker 3: onto camera.
- 52:15Speaker 4: Or oh it made it on the show. Oh yeah,
- 52:18Speaker 4: it made it on the.
- 52:19Speaker 3: Show that I'm going to be looking for that clip
- 52:22Speaker 3: now so I can post it.
- 52:24Speaker 4: Oh thank you, Oh you're welcome.
- 52:26Speaker 3: You know what, what be doing my job?
- 52:28Speaker 4: That's true, that's true. You did a very good job.
- 52:30Speaker 3: So I appreciate that. Appreciate And then with that stone,
- 52:34Speaker 3: how hard was that stone.
- 52:37Speaker 4: To put him? I'm horrible it s don't put But
- 52:39Speaker 4: Robbie did great with it. Robbie, Robbie, I think beat
- 52:42Speaker 4: everybody with that. He did great with it. Robbie is
- 52:45Speaker 4: actually pretty explosive when it comes to like shot put
- 52:48Speaker 4: and stuff like that. He did he killed it with it.
- 52:51Speaker 4: They were supposed to throw hammers like the with the chain. No, No,
- 52:58Speaker 4: the sixteen pound it's on a it's on a stick, okay.
- 53:02Speaker 4: And I think we were supposed to throw the sixteen
- 53:04Speaker 4: pound one and there's sixteen or twenty two. I think
- 53:07Speaker 4: we were supposed to throw the sixteen And I started
- 53:09Speaker 4: warming up with that, and all of a sudden, we
- 53:12Speaker 4: we weren't doing it anymore. I think I let one
- 53:14Speaker 4: go a little too far. I like throwing the hammer.
- 53:18Speaker 3: It's you know what's funny is like it just recently
- 53:22Speaker 3: happened all here by my house. But we actually have
- 53:24Speaker 3: the Highland Games at one of the biggest events here
- 53:28Speaker 3: in Pleasanton in California. So that might, you know, maybe
- 53:31Speaker 3: maybe next year, because they do it every year. You
- 53:33Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Maybe I'll reach out to the
- 53:35Speaker 3: promoter out there and see if we can maybe arrange
- 53:38Speaker 3: something where we can actually just show up and.
- 53:41Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think Francis Bredner is part of
