1:14
they get the lever belts in, so they finally have the lever belts in.
1:17
So if you need a letter belt, go get them now. While
1:19
they'll say they will sell out, that's all out. Yeah. First form,
1:26
our mission is to help real people get real long term results. Ice

Up Industries. Look, get fifty dollars off at iced up Industries for all
1:36
your cold plunge needs. Use code best at checkout for iced Up Industries.
1:42
All right, and make sure you guys use the links in the notes.
1:45
It really helps us out and we appreciate it. Yeah, and those things
1:49
are so ridiculously easy to set up. The thing comes in a backpack,
1:53
it's like a travel and you fold it out. They give you a pump,
1:57
you pump the thing. Just click in one to the bottom. You
2:01
pump it up. Takes about a minute and a half. It really doesn't
2:04
take very long. And then you pump up the lid, I mean just
2:07
clicks right in. You pump up the lid. You pump them up to
2:10
ten pounds PSI they're done. The things stable enough to get in and out
2:15
of, like I can do it dip with the size so you can actually
2:20
support yourself. Yeah, I can put the lid on the top. I
2:23
can lay on top of the thing, so it's really sturdy. It's a
2:28
great plunge tank. And then the chiller when it comes in can chill all
2:34
the way down to thirty four degrees or it can go all the way up
2:37
to one hundred and five, so I mean you can do anything. It
2:40
takes two hours to get it all the way down to thirty four, which
2:44
I'll probably keep minded about forty eight to fifty, and then take three hours
2:50
to get it all the way up to one hundred and four from the colder
2:53
temperatures. So yeah, it's a really neat thing. And then they're a
2:58
little over. They're like a little over twenty two hundred dollars, so it's
3:02
like less than half price of all these ones that you see out there that
3:07
are not portable, that are not this quality. So it's it's really it's
3:13
they're a really really neat thing. I love the thing, so go get
3:16
one. Yeah. Well, and if you think about it, if you
3:20
buy the ones that are like two hundred bucks that you can get and you
3:22
dump ice in there for me to get mine cold enough for me to get
3:25
into, I had to buy four or five bags of ice. I was
3:30
spending about twenty two dollars a day on ice a day, so I mean
3:35
it's like one hundred and one hundred and fifty one month, yeah, exactly
3:42
a week, and then add that up in a month. Yeah, so
3:45
you're looking at six hundred dollars a month just on ice. And even then,
3:49
if you buy an ice machine that can eat support that, you're still
3:52
spending over one thousand dollars. Right, Well, you also got to figure
3:55
the ice machine depending on what you get is going to have to produce over
4:00
one hundred pounds of ice a day. And that's only if you use the
4:06
thing once exactly. If you want to do it twice, yep, Now
4:11
you gotta go buy more ice, so electricity, water, it adds up.
4:15
Yeah, So the chilion is the way to go. Iced up industries
4:19
is the way to go. So they get fifty dollars off with the best
4:26
correct Okay, well, Nick, this weekend we just had Giants Life Deadly
4:33
competition and man, what a surprise the world. That's what I'm playing like.
4:41
It was a full weekend. Yeah. Well the guys are I mean,
4:45
well, they're still trying to find a person to break Eddie's record and
4:48
furs record, but Eddie's record in a competition and the goal is to do
4:56
five or five. So they had, you know, three or four guys
5:00
that were had a legitimate shot at it. Ivan's got a legitimate shot at
5:04
it. Yeah, you know, it'd be kind of interesting because Payment just
5:09
pulled like four eighty five in Iran. Yeah, but that's in Iran.
5:14
He can't get out of Iran, so that's kind of an issue. But
5:18
it'd be kind of neat to see I see him thrown into this mix at
5:21
some point too. Ronald Reynold's Ronald, I mean, dude, I got
5:27
yanked a thousand and looked literally like a warm up. Yeah, that was
5:31
the fastest thousand I've ever seen. I figured if it was gonna go down,
5:34
and he's been the guy to do it. And then Hicksy Hicksy came
5:41
in ready to pull. He pulled four seventy. He won the World Deadlifting
5:46
Championships with four hundred and seventy kilos, which is heavy. I think it's
5:53
like a thousand and thirty six or a thousand and forty, right around in
5:56
that range. So I'm not looking at my kilo chart at the moment,
6:00
so it's still it's that's super heavy, and it didn't look that bad either.
6:05
It's just five oh five was just a bit too much for those guys.
6:10
But it was still really neat to see because you had Ivan Ronald Evan,
6:17
I'll pull four fifty five, which is a thousand pounds. Yeah,
6:23
so that's pretty cool. Evan's back pulled me a thousand pounds again. He
6:26
said he was gonna do it, and he did so. And then you
6:30
had Shame Flowers Austin Andrade, Jamal Browner and then Gavin Belton all pulled four
6:39
hundred and thirty kilos. Yeah, so again that's that's freaking heavy. So
6:45
those are those are from great deadlists. Jamal, you know, Jamal is
6:48
the lightest of the guys. I think Jamal is like two seventy one,
6:53
two seventy two or something like that. And it's a little different. The
6:57
deadlift bars are different from you know, place to place. There's no kabuki
7:00
bar at a Giant's live show. Yeah, all right, so it doesn't
7:06
give as much. And Jamal still had a great deadlift though, I mean,
7:11
I'll give it to him. And he couldn't pull sumo. There's no
7:13
sumo, yeah yeah, so for him to show up and pull that,
7:17
and he took a good tug at a thousand, I mean he had it.
7:20
He took a tug at it just didn't come off the ground much.
7:26
So But and then Rob Kearny, Novlakov Stoltman and Pa and Evans Nana I'll
7:35
pulled four hundred kilos. Yeah, so that's uh, you only had one
7:40
guy and miss it, which is which Oscar missed it. But that's uh,
7:46
that's some pretty solid deadlift and all the way around, so that would
7:50
be really exciting to be there and watch. So after the first event,
7:55
Evans in the lead with Rono at ten point five points Shame, Flowers has
8:00
eight points. Asta and Drade is tied for third. Gavin Bilton's type for
8:05
third. They all had eight points. Novlokov Kearny, Stultman, Pa and
8:11
Nanna we're all tied at sixth with four points. Yeah, and then Oscar
8:18
got a zero in that event because eight four forty or four hundred was the
8:22
opening lift. You couldn't go lower, So dumbbell ladder. Oscar Oscar,
8:33
I'm never gonna try his last name, Zlokovski. Yeah, did five and
8:39
fifty four point three six seconds. Luke Stoltman did five and fifty eight point
8:45
eight seven seconds. They're the only two to finish the ladder. Yeah.
8:48
Then mm and Singleton got third at four. He did four and twenty nine
8:54
point seven nine. Kearney did four in thirty three ten, which Querne is
9:00
a great overhead presser even with dumbbells. Yeah. Austin Andrade did four in
9:07
forty three point five two. Now that guy's got a great overhead press He's
9:11
gonna be fun to watch because that's the guy that won the Open Shaw Classic.
9:16
He's going to be so not only is it going to be at the
9:20
Strongest Man on Earth next year who will probably be a World's Strongest man as
9:24
well. And you know, I just thought about you got to think about
9:26
the Shaw Classic brought Tom, brought Tom Evans and he won the Classic last
9:33
year, last year Open and then got into Worlds Strongest and then now Austin
9:39
just won the Shaw and then most likely he's going to be getting into the
9:43
net encing. I just thought about that right now. Yeah, yeah,
9:46
it's pretty cool. Huh yeah. Govin Belton did four and fifty one pot
9:52
at three and twenty five point six four. Evans Nana did three in twenty
10:00
six point ninety two. Rynald did three and thirty two point two three.
10:05
Shane Roynald was over forty by the way, folks, it's like forty one
10:11
forty two. Shane did two in eighteen point nine two and Novakoff did two
10:20
in twenty So I think Novakoff might have got hurt there because he is,
10:26
Yeah, he's a monster on the unbelievably good at the dumb Belts so for
10:28
him to only do two, something must have been wrong and he probably got
10:33
hurt. So points after two events. Evin Singleton's in the league at nineteen
10:37
point five, four points over Austin and Donde, Who's got fifteen points.
10:43
Kevin Belton's got fourteen. Luke's tied with Luke at fourteen. Rynods in fifth
10:48
at thirteen point five, kearneys in sixth at twelve, Oscar's in seventh with
10:56
eleven, Shane's in eight with ten points, Pause in ninth with nine points,
11:03
stevens Nana is in tenth with eight points, and Novakov's last at five
11:09
points. I think he was probably hurt. He probably hurt his back in
11:13
the deadlift or something, yeah, because that's not like him to miss dumbells
11:16
like that. He's unbelievable at thumbellsh So eventually load and push. Luke Stoltman
11:24
wins at forty nine point one five seconds. If you hear a bunch of
11:28
clicking and clacking, my dog is walking around, and then Emmin Singleton got
11:35
second in that event again up at the top at forty nine point one seven
11:39
seconds. So that's a thumb, Yeah, Yeah, that's that's a thumb.
11:48
You know, so maybe someday we'll get laser timing and you take the
11:52
thumbs out of there. But that's a thumb that's super close. Rob Kearney
11:56
at fifty two point eight seconds, so that's third. That's a good place
12:01
in there at Evan's Nonna fourth at fifty three point six. Oscar is in
12:11
fifth at fifty three, Gavin's in sixth at fifty five h seven, Shane
12:18
Shane is uh in seventh at fifty five, Austin's at eighth at fifty six
12:26
point one three, and then Pa Rono did three implements in forty nine,
12:33
so something probably isn't right there, and then Noval Cobb didn't do the event,
12:39
so noval Cob is clearly hurt. So after three events, Evan Singleton's
12:46
in the league at twenty nine point five, Luke Stoltman's at second, and
12:50
this is three events in at twenty five, No, watch how all this
12:54
stuff changes, because this is this is what's so nutty about this sport.
12:58
Rob Kearney's in third at twenty one, Gavin Bilton's and fourth at twenty.
13:03
Austin Andrade is at fifth at nineteen, Oscars in sixth at eighteen. Evans
13:13
Nana is in seventh at sixteen, Ronos in eighth at fifteen, Shane Flowers
13:22
fifteen point five. Shane Flowers is in ninth at fifteen points with two events
13:28
to go exactly. He's in ninth with two points two events to go,
13:35
pause in tenth with twelve points. Novilakav Is coming up with five and Wrecking
13:43
Ball Wrecking Ball, Evans Singleton wins now Mark Felix came in and broke the
13:50
world record in it. He did a guest appearance, which is pretty cool.
13:52
Congratulations appearance. I'd like to come with that. I think that would
14:01
be fun. I was listening to Giants Nick Wants said, Nick Wants that
14:05
special invite. Well, I've never done a Hercules hold, and apparently I'm
14:09
pretty good at that because without even knowing, I just saw it seventy thirty
14:13
seconds exactly, just didn't even know and didn't train forward enhing. I knew
14:20
also had to beat with seventy two, so I let it go, you
14:24
know. Yeah, So yeah, it was let me try that. Yeah.
14:31
Anyway, Evan won at seventy five point zero three seconds. Evan's Nanna
14:35
got second at sixty nine point seven nine, Shane Flowers third, Yeah,
14:41
so that's a big jump. That's a big jump, big jump, sixty
14:46
five point two six seconds. Pau fourth at sixty three point nine six.
14:52
So Pau's not really in the standings that much, but neither Shane, and
14:56
they just put some points up on the board and put points and pop put
15:01
points between other guys that are down there too, So Gavin sixty three point
15:07
one six and fifth, Oscar sixth at fifty seven, Rob Kearney seven at
15:15
forty eight point two three, So that's gonna kind of hurt Rob, and
15:20
then Austin Andrade forty seven point nine, Luke Stoneman forty seven point nine.
15:30
That's kind of that's kind of crazy, and then Rono at twenty four,
15:37
So Loup being down towards the bottom, that's gonna hurt a little bit,
15:41
and then Austin. It hurts Austin Kearney. So it kind of that that
15:46
event really kind of threw some stuff around pretty good. Yeah, so points
15:50
after that, you still got Evan and lead and Evans like in the Super
15:54
League, he's thirteen or twelve and a half points ahead, so technically he
16:00
doesn't even have to do the event. You can't go out and do one
16:03
and be done, yea. Luke's in second place at twenty eight points,
16:08
Gavin's in third at twenty seven. Kearney's fourth at twenty six, so that
16:15
that hurt a little bit. And then as nana at twenty six Oscar Zikakowski,
16:22
I'm Slowski. I want to say Zlowski, I'm sorry. Four points.
16:27
Shane Flowers is at twenty four points. So Shane is now up to
16:32
sixth after that event, ye after being ninth, so he moved up three
16:37
places that quick and Austin and he's in eight at twenty three and he got
16:45
Paul Runner nobokof who's out. So we go into the last event, which
16:52
are castle stones castle stones once a guess because it's kind of crazy. Okay,
17:02
this really shook up the points Shane Flowers. Shane Flowers wins the castle
17:07
stones, five stones and twenty point six nine seconds. He wins the castle
17:14
stones, so he just got a bunch of points. Gavin Bilton gets uh
17:21
fifth or gets all five second, all five and twenty two point ten seconds.
17:27
Rob Kearney third and he so he got all five and twenty two point
17:33
twenty three seconds. Yeah, so that's that's pretty close between the two of
17:37
thems, but it still keeps Gavin ahead of rob Oscar does five and twenty
17:45
four point one seven. The Oscars kind of not out towards that top.
17:49
That puts points between some of the guys that are like Luke. Luke and
17:53
Evan are way down there. Yeah that Evan. It doesn't really matter because
17:57
Evan's already won, but that puts that gets points for Shane between Luke.
18:04
So Oscars at fifth does five and twenty four point one seven, Pot does
18:11
five and twenty four point nine one. Evans Nana does five and twenty six
18:18
point two five. Ye. All those guys got all five stones, yeah,
18:22
which is pretty crazy. And then Luke Stoltman does four stones, which
18:29
is kind of a surprise. So maybe Luke picked up a little thing somewhere
18:33
because he did four and sixteen point five one for him not to finish the
18:40
fifth stones, I hope he's okay. Yeah, Austin Andrade does four and
18:45
sixteen point five eight. He just came off of their saw classics, so
18:52
yeah, he's probably a little sore entire, just a little. And then
18:56
Evan just needed to do one, so he did one in six point eight
19:03
eight seconds and won the show. Yeah, so clearly Evans in first place
19:07
at forty two point five points, done over with Gavin Bilton has now moved
19:14
up into second place with thirty seven points. Yep, so now Gavin gets
19:19
second and he was consistent too, right there in the middle, right right
19:23
right. What's the tiebreaker in a strongman contest? Now? Oh Man used
19:30
to count back, but now it's the stones. It's the last event,
19:34
so Shane Flowers because Gavin gets in there ahead of Rob. Shane Flowers thirty
19:45
five points, Rob Kearney thirty five points. But because Shane beat Rob on
19:52
the Stones, Shane's got that third spot in the guaranteed position at World Strongest
19:57
Man at thirty five points. Rob Kearney is in fourth at thirty five points.
20:03
Luke Staaltman, it dropped him down to fifth. Yeah, at thirty
20:07
two points. Evans Nana thirty one, Oscar thirty one, Austin Andrade at
20:15
twenty six points, tied with Pa at twenty six points, and then Ronald
20:21
finished off in tenth at twenty five point five five points, which I don't
20:26
know how you get point five five yeah, okay, and then Novikoff had
20:30
five points because obviously he's injury. Yeah, so I hope he gets better
20:34
from whatever is going on with him. I hope he's a speedy recovery.
20:38
Yeah. But that's a pretty exciting show because all of a sudden, guys
20:44
that were kind of towards the bottom were on the podium, and guys that
20:47
were on the podium, we're gonna be on the podium all day. So
20:52
you couldn't want a more dramatic ending than that, rather than that being between
20:59
first and third. Yeah, you know that being that tight, but it
21:03
was kind of meat seeing everything from second on down being super tight. Evan
21:07
just flat came in and dominated. So he came in on a mission.
21:11
Yeah, And I think the Evan that we saw the second day at the
21:18
Strongest Man on Earth, well the first day too. I mean he did
21:25
great the first day there as well, But the Evan that came out in
21:26
the second day had a lot more focus and a lot more control and just
21:34
kick tail. And clearly that Evan came and showed up here in England and
21:41
just destroyed it. I evans Evan's going to be pushing. I mean,
21:48
I think he would have been on the puddy in this year if he used
21:49
different tacky yeah at World's Strongest Man, because that last stone just kept slipping
21:55
out of his hand. You know, I'm just like, no, yeah,
21:57
sovs. Evan's gonna be a guy to watch out for a World's Strongest
22:02
Man this year right now, watch out for Evan at World's Strongest Man.
22:07
If he doesn't bury himself with a ton of contest between now and then and
22:11
picks and chooses, he's going to be a force to deal with when he
22:17
gets there. And then of course you have Hoop. He's gonna be more
22:22
than anybody wants content for quite some time. That guy that anytime that guy's
22:30
got a weakness, he figures it out and it is the weakness goes away.
22:33
I don't think he has any So you just gotta flat out beat him
22:40
on things. There's not gonna be one event where you get to, you
22:44
know, pick up a few points for him, because he's just not that
22:45
good at it. There's anything that he's not good at, he fixes.
22:49
So it's it's gonna be a pretty exciting time and strongman coming up over the
22:55
next couple of years, a couple of these new guys coming in. Andre's
23:00
gonna be Austin Andrade is gonna be freaking He's gonna be fun to watch he
23:07
gets he figures out his yoke and his foot speed. With that, he's
23:12
gonna be a lot for these guys to deal with because he really, he
23:17
really did well. Shot. He kind of dominated those guys that were that
23:21
were there. I mean, he did very well in all the events they
23:25
told the very last one. But you know, and even then he didn't
23:29
do bad. It's just that's that's something he needs to improve on that I
23:33
saw. Yeah, Well, when you're coming up in the ranks, you
23:36
know what I'm saying, these are the things that you learned and then you
23:37
even too it's like, uh, it's reaching out to the right people to
23:41
get the right help, the right advice and just appointing things out, you
23:45
know what I'm saying. So like, oh, yeah, for sure.
23:49
So it's it's pretty exciting to see. I mean, you know, and
23:52
just reading the results, you only get so much. Yeah, I was
23:57
at work and contest was going on, so I couldn't I couldn't watch it.
24:02
I was listening to a bunch of Wow all day, all day,
24:06
all day. That's that's a good thing too, is like you can go
24:08
back and watch it and see it and like I said, giant just like
24:12
a giant slide and you can watch them. You get the Doo the Live
24:17
Street one of them, and you know, oh there it's actually televized.
24:21
So yeah, so it'll still be on during Christmas and stuff like that there
24:25
too. It's on every year. So I mean, it's it's kind of
24:27
neat to see, like how the talent's developing, uh instrument right now and
24:36
the guys that are starting to come forwards and assert themselves that the new uh,
24:42
Brian's the news C's the new you know, dominating athletes that are coming
24:48
in, and it's it's gonna be fun. There's a lot more. Uh,
24:56
It's it's a lot more even because back in the day, for a
25:00
good eight eight to ten years, it was either so Thereness or Brian.
25:04
Yeah, you know, and you had those two just monstrously so far ahead
25:10
of the guys that were there at the time. It's gonna be kind of
25:15
interesting. Will we see somebody that dominant again? Possibly? I mean,
25:21
look at who's been doing it eight two years in and like I said,
25:26
we were there at his first world and everyone was in shock and awe because
25:30
they were like, who the hell is this kid? And then they immediately
25:33
come back the next year and just think, yeah, exactly, and it's
25:37
just not only win, but destroy. Yeah. I mean, who came
25:41
in there ready to go and was dialed in and the weaknesses from the previous
25:47
year, Yeah, we're there. He he nobody's ever won every single event
25:52
in the qualifier and he just about did that exactly. He was like right
25:56
right on that, right on that thing. And it's like it is just
26:00
so insane because I remember the first year, after the after the first day,
26:06
you know, I said, you know, we said we were sitting
26:07
right now. I was sitting right next to him having a conversation, listening
26:11
to him talk about what his numbers are, and I'm just like wait,
26:15
wait, wait, huh, Like this is what you do in practice,
26:18
Like this is what you're doing in training. Then you know and then during
26:22
around it and you know, have receipts and be like this is what I
26:26
do. He has receipts. He definitely has the receipts. There's no question
26:30
about that. It's going to be kind of interesting to see how this all
26:37
plays out because I think Austin will probably more than likely get into World Strongest
26:41
Man with this at a Giant at the Giants last show. Because it used
26:47
to be back in the day when I first started doing these, the top
26:52
ten were automatically qualified for the next year. It is no longer the case.
26:56
So the only person that's automatically qualified is the champion, and to my
27:00
understanding former champions, yeah kind of, but I mean you still got to
27:10
be viable, right, So other than that, everybody else has to go
27:18
get qualified for the most part, and then of course there's still special advice
27:22
because there's only so many Giants live shows, and the top three automatically go,
27:26
and then everybody else it goes to placings and stuff like that down that
27:32
as they're picking through. So I mean, it keeps the guys competing,
27:37
you know, for their spots all year round. So it's it's good for
27:41
Giants, it's good for the sport, it's good for the guys, you
27:44
know. But you know, once you're qualified, you know, the smartest
27:48
thing to do is get to work and get ready for the big shows and
27:55
start preppering, because once you win the title, nobody can ever take it
27:59
from you. Once you or World Strongest Man or Master's World Strongest Man or
28:03
World Parloting Champions. Once you have them, they're years forever, so we
28:08
take it away exactly. So it's it's a big it's a big deal.
28:15
Yeah, no, it is a huge deal. And with competition is coming
28:18
up, I know, they already started sending out invitations for Rogue, you
28:22
know, so like how well, what do you think Rogue was going to
28:26
turn out? You know what I'm saying, Like in the fact of like
28:27
the people that show up, are we going to see everyone basically from World
28:32
Strongest Man and from the Armory show up? Yeah, I mean, right
28:36
now, Rogues right up there at the top. As far as pay goes
28:38
for these shows. I mean, they don't mess around. They I think
28:44
they pay more than everybody else. Like yeah, that's what I was under
28:47
the Yeah. So it's like I'm just waiting because, like I said,
28:49
I've seen a few people post invites and posting invitations, so I'm like,
28:53
I'm waiting to see what the Rogue invitation is going to look like for for
28:56
a strong Man because right so these but the big shows are actually getting to
29:03
be the big shows. If you can win one or even two or three
29:08
of these in a year. You're you're having a pretty good year financially.
29:14
Especially the rug though, because I think, I want to say Martin's won
29:17
like two hundred and seventy something like that. It was pretty pretty spicy,
29:23
so it was good. But now you got the Shot Classic which Brian.
29:30
Brian increased the total prize money from one fifty to two thirty. While we
29:33
are there, he announced that, Yeah, the guys into the crowds,
29:36
so he's raising the bar. He keeps raising the bar. I mean,
29:41
I still and just can't believe what an amazing show he put on there.
29:45
It was really an honor and a pleasure to be a part of that.
29:49
Yeah, I got I got the list here for the twenty twenty three Rogue
29:53
Invocational. All right, let's hear it. We got novakaf Hooper, Mitchell,
30:02
right, Luke, uh matthais yea yeah Pablo, which starts with an
30:15
end Pablo notting. I'm sorry, man, you know, like I'm just
30:21
if I could say it and if I could possibly read yeah, exactly,
30:26
you are, you know, and I will kick your hand and apologize when
30:30
you see me, So please come get that from it. We'll sit there,
30:33
he'll sit he'll sit there with you for we'll work on it. We'll
30:38
practice together. And then we got Tom Stoleman, Bobby Thompson, of course
30:47
Evan, and then we got Maxine, so it looks like we got all
30:52
ten. Yeah, so it's it's gonna be pretty interesting. I know Pablo,
30:59
Pablo it was supposed to come to the Shaw and he couldn't because he
31:03
was hurt. So I don't know if he's still going to be healthy enough
31:07
to come do the rogue. And if he is, is he gonna make
31:12
a difference, because to be honest, you don't heal that fast. Yeah,
31:18
if you got to miss one, you usually are gonna be down,
31:22
like not at one hundred percent for a while. But we'll see. I
31:25
mean it should be interesting, yeah, and especially after listen to this for
31:30
Novikoff, so hopefully you know, he'll be able to Hopefully he'll be able
31:33
to stick in there and keep going to there's there's a couple of guys that
31:37
deserve a shot at that as well, so you know, if if they
31:41
can't, hopefully those guys get the nods. But yeah, yeah, it's
31:48
the watch that's that one's gonna be fun to watch. I'm gonna have to
31:51
make sure I take the day off work, so you know what I'm saying,
31:56
We'll make sure work my hobby job because it's just it's just fun going
32:04
in there. It's just so much fun to go to work and take people
32:08
through shooting experiences and stuff like that and get to shoot foliatos all day.
32:13
It's it's just well, you know, for most of you guys out there,
32:16
like Nick really wanted to learn gunsmithing, and guess what, he went
32:22
out and I say it over and over. You know, he's a how
32:25
do you learn something? You get the bizz, you go do it.
32:30
And I wanted to learn all about guns, all about shooting guns, and
32:36
I wanted to really deep dive into it. So I went to intern at
32:43
a gun range. And you can't intern. You have to be put on
32:46
the books so that you know you're covered with the ins and stuff. It's
32:52
slightly dangerous, and I'm gonna say, yeah, it's pretty pretty interesting.
32:59
There's been some stuff I've already seen where people need to have respect for the
33:08
firearms, not having respect for the firearms every time you put your hands on
33:15
one or a near one is usually what causes most of the problems. Yeah,
33:20
and so from day one two? Right now, how do you feel
33:24
from from the from day one? Because I know the first day you went
33:27
to gain, it's your first day at you at any job, you're going
33:30
to be nervous. But how comfortable are you now? Uh? Well,
33:34
I'm very comfortable now. I can there's not much I can't operate now as
33:39
far as h machine guns go. So that's that's pretty cool, you know,
33:45
uh, you know, RTS, that was really freaking fund to shoot.
33:52
Yeah. MP fives, M fours aks AKV nine. That is my
33:59
new face ee machine gun to shoot right now because we just got two new
34:05
ones in. And it shoots as fast as the Roney, which is a
34:08
fully out of block handgun put into a brace, it shoots as fast as
34:15
the Roney, but it's so much more controllable because the RONEI wants to pop
34:21
up and stuff, and it's it's a little squirrely. This thing just smooth
34:24
the guns a little bit heavier, and it's just it just throws them out
34:30
there kind of like almost not quite but almost as good as a suppressed MP
34:35
five. The suppressed MPL five is still it's just shooting butter. There's there's
34:40
no recoil on it. You you pull the trigger and it holds straight,
34:45
so you can put everything into a target like this big you know it twenty
34:51
yards. It's just doesn't move. So once you're on target and you pull
34:53
the trigger, it's staying there. So it's it's pretty neat. It's fun.
35:00
I'm really having fun learning and doing all this stuff. I am,
35:02
by no means an expert, but I've learned a ton. Well you're getting
35:08
there to be an expert, so that's the best part. Well, yeah,
35:12
it's gonna be years before I'm in that range. But like now,
35:15
I'm in the middle of building my first besides putting my glock together, I'm
35:20
getting in the middle of building my first, my first rifle, and so
35:25
I gotta I got a Blackout three hundred, So that's that's gonna be fine.
35:31
That's that's gonna be a lot of fun. And if you make your
35:37
can, you can get your approval back from the ATF in like two weeks.
35:45
If you buy one, it takes a while. So we have a
35:49
gunsmith and stuff like that that helps. That will help us and help me
35:52
walk walk me through it and yeah, we're gonna do that. So that's
35:55
gonna be kind of cool. So I'll have a suppress three hundred Blacky that'll
36:00
shoot sub sonic, sub sonic emmo emo. Yeah, and with that,
36:07
because you've had Mitchell Hooper at the I'm trying to think and even yeah,
36:15
Evan was Yeah, so we had We've had Mitchell Evan who else I thought
36:20
we I know, trade didn't go. But have we brought oh yeah,
36:25
Justin Yeah, yeah, which Justin did great. He squatted seven o five
36:30
the other day and seven five, So he's sit in PRS. He's gonna
36:35
be fun for people to deal with in about four or five years exactly.
36:37
People need to be on the That's one of those ones that Nick's got tuck
36:42
under the shoulder, you know, under the arm, under the wing.
36:45
You know what I'm saying. Pay attention. Yeah, he'll I think he'll
36:50
probably dead lift over eight hundred within eighteen months. There we go. I
36:55
think he'll squat eight hundred in about two years. And his overhead is good.
37:02
So he's he's gonna be fun for these guys in a few years.
37:07
Oh yeah, so's he's doing it slowly he's doing methodically, so it's not
37:14
going to be a show up really fast and you know and then probably out
37:20
pretty fast. It's gonna be high. I'm here and I'm here till i'm
37:22
board exactly. And for those that for most most trained videos, that's a
37:28
Knicks training partner, so you always be the background. Yeah, he's a
37:32
big kid. He's a big kid. So and then James of course is
37:36
doing great and you know, yeah, just set that world record over there
37:39
and uh with the granite stone yep, yep in Norway, first first person
37:44
to learn to load a two hundred kilo granite stone. Yeah, and that
37:49
thing's like picking up a cheese crater. I'm like watching Nickel. But if
37:54
you wear sleeves, it's yeah, pretty good. But the tackie doesn't stick
37:59
to it because of the surface of it. It's not like a smooth polish
38:01
service. When you grab it with the tackie that you sticks to it and
38:05
you're like you really gotta squeeze the heck out of the stone to get it
38:07
up. So it's it's pretty cool. Yeah, all right, Nick,
38:13
let's head on out of here. Let these people know what they need to
38:17
know. Well, please, like share and subscribe, and please share the
38:22
heck out of this and as always, train hard, train smart would be
38:27
the best you can be. Till next time, your best experience, what
38:49
the nickn best
