  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, everybody. Well, just got back from Official

  Speaker 3: voice in commentating I've ever seen. Also is very knowledgeable
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: about arm wrestling and that whole entire world, which we'll
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: get into a little bit today because of course that's
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: a very large world. And then Brian Shaw is also
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: doing a lot of that, so as Eddie and Robert
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: and some of the guys from the TV show. And
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: i'd like to introduce to you Lootz.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Hey guys, nice to meet you. Thank you so much
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: for having me on here. I'm super excited to talk osg,
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: arm wrestling, commentating, all of it. Just really really excited
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: to be part of this.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're excited to have you. It's like, just if
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: you guys watched the video of me doing the Hercules
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: hold in Norway and the first time that was Lootz
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: and Aggle commenting on it, and they're the ones that
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: drove the video. They were so funny and it was hilarious.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: So thanks for doing that and absolutely, how did you
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: like it? Being the voice of official Starma Games this year?
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I loved it.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: I was very proud to be part of this and
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: also be alongside Aaron West, who is an absolute legend
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: in this field. The man like I remember the first
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: time I saw him and seeing him do it for
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: like three days straight, I was just like, how does
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: he keep his voice and his sanity? And to do
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: it with him alongside him and we were doing it
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: fifty to fifty, which was really cool that he also
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: was so accepting and welcoming of me. It was an
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: amazing experience and I have to say, I'm just I've
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: now got addicted to that side of the contest. It's
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: funny because recently I went to a big East versus
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Rest production in Switzerland. I was in the crowd, love
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: the show, great show, amazing show, great production, But I
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: felt like, man, it's so weird to not be behind
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: the scenes and to not know what's going on, no
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: the backstories, no about what's happening in the moments leading
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: up to the event. And this is the amazing thing
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: about commentary. It's fun. It's you get to you get
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: to control the vibe of the whole event, and at
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: the same time you get such a more in depth
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: look into the sport. And this was, especially at OSG,
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: so amazing. Just like, for example, I would never have
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: thought that my voice would be in the background while
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: big Zie and Mark Felix are doing an event.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: That's mind blowing to me. It's it's absolute insanity.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I'm judging it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah exactly. And and hey, and you made it for me.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: You made it possible for me to be here. Nick,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: So it's you were You were one of the driving forces.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: It was you and Lynn Lynn deciding hey, I want
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: this guy to and you being like, hey, I want
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: him to be there, and you making it possible for
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: the flight, the hotel and all that. So I'm really
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: really thankful, forever thankful actually for this opportunity. Nick, And
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: You'll be forever one of my biggest heroes.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Wow, thanks, and you're one of mine. So it's awesome.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: I mean it's it was amazing, and I mean, like
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I somehow I got into the judging it I see
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: you this year, which was for them at first, for me,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I've judged more contests than I know what to do with.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: You need to like, hey do you want to fill in?
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, you're doing a great job. Hey we're just
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: gonna leave you there. Yeah you good. I'm like, yeah,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I'm great. And did it for all three days and
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: got to really see a lot of amazing lifts right
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: up front. And my judging style is a little different
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: than normal, I would say, because I tried to gone
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: to be within voice distance of the athletes so that
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: they one they can hear me. And I have no
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: problem yelling knees. I have no problem yelling hips. I
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: have no problem yelling shoulders. If I see something it's
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: not quite locked, I'm not gonna sit there and not
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: give you a down signal. I have you not not
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: have any clue on how to finish the lift right. Look,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: if you're gonna miss it, you're gonna miss it because
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you. And you still can't get to it,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: so you're not going to miss it because I didn't
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: tell you. So I I love judging straw Man. It's fun.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: It's heartbreaking at.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Times, Yeah, it really is, but especially for somebody like you,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: who you know, you've been on the other side and
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: you've been in the event, and I can tell like
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: every time I've watched you judge, it was like you
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: were willing the person to get the rep and you
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: were always disappointed when you're not allowed to put the
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: harm down, not allowed to give the whistle, not allowed
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: to give the counts. And I saw how much that
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: paint you. So yeah, you're a very empathetic judge, but
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: you're also very fair and strict that it was nice
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: good watching you.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, the problem is is there's been judges, and
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: there's some judging in the past where a guy gets
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: a world record and you're looking at going, that's not
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: a world record, you didn't lock it, you weren't stable
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: with it, you know, no, and then the athlete gets
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: the beating for that. Yeah, and that's not really fair.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: It's the judge that passed it that should take the
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: all the all the flag for it, not not the athlete.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Because the athlete just went out did the best they could.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: They're they're not allowed to give you. You're not allowed
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: to give your approval on your own lift, So you know,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: it's you're just going out trying to perform it the
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: best you can and usually if you if a lift
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: gets passed, it shouldn't pass. It's on the judge and
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: me personally. I think I had one that was questionable,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: and the rest of them, we're all pretty solid. You
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: got they all got what the aaron the bit. Nobody's perfect.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I'm not perfect. I'll just do the best I can. Yeah,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: that's it, and I'm going to get a lot of
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: it right, and I'll get it one or two that
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: are a little off, but that's okay.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Hey, it was it was four days of competing.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: I forgot how many athletes were there on day one,
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: but I know on Day on, or on the Junior
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: and adaptive day and on the the the days of
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: the weight classes, it was four hundred plus athletes. Yes,
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: I'm guessing it's maybe like all combined, it's five hundred
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: maybe or even more. I'm not one hundred percent sure,
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: but hey, you judged. It's the same with commentary, I
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: will mispronounce your name. Like if anyone's listening and I
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: mispronounced your name, I am very very sorry, and please
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: come find me soon. And when i'm talking, you're noticing
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: that I missed your name. I remember one guy I'm
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: from was he from Zimbabwe and his first name was Majaya,
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: And I kept saying Mayaya, and like day three, event
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: five or six, somebody comes, oh, by the way, it's Magia.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I'm like, come on, you should have told me earlier.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Right right, And that that's like my biggest fear when
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: when I have to commentate. I don't mind commentating the
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: events and talking about how to lift it or what
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: they're going through when they're lifting it and stuff like that,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: but pronouncing their names. It is why shoeless? Yeah, And
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: you look at his name and you're like, uh, there's
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: there's no I don't know. He's just like just think
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: of this, Why shoe list? Why am I shoeless? Why shoeless?
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, And from that point on, I remember
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: it now. Whenever I see him, I remember it. So
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: but I butchered like two or three of them Otero.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: I butchered his name when we were doing it as well. So,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: but I like doing the commentating as well. I like
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: kind of being the second commentator that's in there so that,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: you know, it just add some color, add some experience
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: that type of stuff into it. And then judging. I
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: just I love the judge, I really do. It's fun,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: heartbreaking time. It's fun. Yeah.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: I could also tell you you were you were in there,
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: ye because you enjoyed it, Because I couldn't see you, yawn,
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: I could you were. You didn't get pissed off at anyone.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: You were in it for all three days.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: That was good.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's so fun just to watch, like Hannah cold
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Iron when she went on her mysterious journey all over
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: the platform holding that up with one arm and then
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: finally get stable. I'm like, down, but it's got to
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: hit the pad. So she had to run all the
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: way back with the thing in her hand and get
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: to the pad. I mean that was that was that
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: was amazing and it was gold. I mean it just
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: shows the heart and the will of the athletes to
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: succeed and to you know, perform at their best. And
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: there was another kid, I don't know if he saw
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: this during the log lift and it was on the
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: first log, and he tried a couple of times to
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: get it. Then the third time he's got it up
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: and he's got it racked and he gets it up
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: over his head, but he's losing his balance and he
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: stepped into the right he runs into he runs into
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: the pad, has to step over the pad with the
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: log in his hand, and then he gets stable and
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: he got stable and I gave him an He got
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: the lift, but.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: It was like and luckily he could drop it on
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: the pad that was right between his features.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so he only got hor into the pads and
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: that thing hit hard and something else I guess happened
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: to the side. I thought Lynn was mad because the
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: log hit so hard. He got the lift, he hit
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: the pack. He's like, no, I'm not worried about that.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: It's over here. I'm like, okay, but yeah, so, but
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: that was I mean, the just the inner drive. When
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: you're watching stuff like that, it's just heartwarming and you
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: can see the human spirit really how it wants to
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: thrive and struggle and succeed and stuff like that. It's
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: just it's some of the best things you can watch,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: you know, It's just so much fun.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, especially in That's the interesting thing about strength sports
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: of why I do enjoy watching strong men so much,
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: because that what you were just describing comes in these
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: very short sixty second or depending on how long the
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: event is burst. So you get this like brief but
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: very in depth and very personal view in that athlete's psyche,
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: the way he conducts himself, under stress his or himself,
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: or how he handles a difficult situation. For example, Hey,
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: it's completely different press sing a log in an arena
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: with lights and a JumboTron above you. Then in your
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: training gym where you have that one spot on the
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: ceiling that you always look at that will stabilize you,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: and suddenly you're staring into these bright white and red
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: or blue lights that were up there. That is so
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: much different. And then it all comes down how will
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: the athlete adapt, what paths does he take? Do they take,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: do they get angry, do they get like super fired up,
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: or do they get more focused, more controlled. It's so interesting,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: and that's as you said, it's such an amazing display
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: of human spirit. That's one of the reasons why I
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: can't stop watching strong men.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I fully agree. And then it's kind of
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: like a World's Strongest Man where the guys get messed
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: up to the log because you're not yes to an
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: open sky.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Yes, arguably the most difficult way to press overhead under
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: open sky.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for your hands down. If there's clouds in
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: the sky, you got a good you're still gonna do Okay,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: no clouds, blue sky. It throws people off.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Are you a sunglass lift or nick yourself when you
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: lift it under the open sky?
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: No? No, I had sunglasses on at times, like for
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: the car deadlift hold in Africa and and but in
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Sun City, I had glasses on, which is why nobody
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: could see my eyes and they were closed, which is
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: why I didn't see the down signal after I had
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: held it too long. So yeah, yeah, I do occasionally
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: that for overhead pressing. No, I didn't do that. I
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: got around it by taking because I trained out of
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: the garage most of the time. I overcame lifting doing
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: the log outside by literally taking the log out into
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: the street, setting up my platforms and just doing the
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: log outside.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Which if you're training for worlds and you don't do that,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: that's a mistake.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. Oh.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: By the way, speaking about that garage. By the way,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: most I've told you this, Nick, but most German strong
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Man fans know you because of a TV segment we
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: had of you and your family in training in your garage,
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: and that was these moments where your son got to
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: go to the to the I think it was maybe
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: it was was it a tire Was it a tire story?
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: He got to pick out his first tire for flip
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: his bigger tire. That was like that turned such a
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: big crowd of young German men into onto strong men.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: It was on a TV show called Galileo and all
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: of us were.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Like, hey, did you see that? Do you see that
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: big guy with his family? It was awesome.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, we did the World's Strongest Family thing for TLC. Yeah,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: and that that spun off about ten different performances like
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: that where like German TV came out, they actually came
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: to my house. Yeah, and we we did all that stuff.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it was pretty cool. I remember doing that.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: That was lot Yeah, yeah, it really was. It was
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: pretty neat. Yeah.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: No, but overall it's it has been such a great
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: weekend to watch, to be to be so close to
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: the action, probably both for you and for me. Where
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: I think we were. We had some of the best
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: seats in the house, and so it was. It was
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: an amazing experience for all, like especially also the first
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: day with the junior and the adaptive athletes. I cannot
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: get enough of adaptive athletes just saying fuck you to
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: all their the problems that they met have physically or
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: in any other way, and just smashing through it. There
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: was a blind man who just by the sound of
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: his I think wives or partner's voice, was able to
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: mow through moving events like he was here. He was
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: like he like he had fully functioning eyes.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: It was crazy, like everyone enjoys watching James Spurgeon do
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: crazy stuff with his one arm, just and also like
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: how meticulous they are, how much they know how to
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: set up, how they use their the tools to get
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: around missing limbs, and the way they set up the
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: harnesses in such a short time. If you just watch
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: James set up his harness with all his carabineers, I couldn't.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: I would use sixty seconds just for the setup. And
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: he does four different weights and four different setups with that.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: It's mind blowing.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's got that down and it is mind blowing.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: I mean the blind guy doing the steeple chase.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: That was unreal.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: That that was unreal because you got to pick up
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: the sandbag. Run he can't see the steeple, he can't
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: see the thing to go over, goes right up to it,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: throws the thing over, has to go around. Not no
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: one worried. Threw the bag. You find the bag, pick
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: up the bag, go to the other side. And I
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: think they weren't making them load the second ones on
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: those those they just.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Got to throw them, yeah, the start line and then
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: yeah yeah.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: And then run back and do it all over again. Yeah,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: and get around the steeple to get back to the
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: other side.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: So I mean it was absolutely amazing. And then the
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: frame carry for him, yes, going down and like dropping
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: it and running with the thing and going straight with it.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was. It was so cool. The ladies
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: also just making short We like deadlifting stuff on the
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: on the on the especially like the seated athletes the
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: deadlift there, like people.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Say, well, they're shitting down.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Have you tried lifting these weights on that little metal stool?
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: I had my I broke my foot twenty seventeen, and
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: after that I tried like keeping up my deadlift on
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: my back with lift like that, and I was like, well,
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: these guys are doing like easy three hundred and four
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: ankilos on that I probably can't do it. Nope, Nope,
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: you can't. Uh huh. And and I have like lakes
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: to stabilize myself still and these guys and girls they
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: do it without without it. It's mind blowing. It's so
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: cool to see. And it also it's so motivating for
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: anyone who's like struggling with a with an injury. For example,
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: that for me, I remember was a twenty twenty or
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: twenty nineteen. I was at Fay four on crutches after
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: my third operation on my broken foot to watch the
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: adaptives there. I realized like, hey, your life is not over.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: The injury does not define you, and you can still
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: do amazing, crazy shit if you just put your mind
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: to it. And I'm so glad to be in a
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: sport that celebrates the adaptive class as much as Strongman does.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: So it was crazy motivating for me, and I hope
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: it's doing the same for everyone else. The adaptives are
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: really doing a great job and showing the world it's
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: like whatever happens to you. It's not over. You can
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: still push and do crazy stuff. That's mad impressive.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's no reason to pack it in. You're
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: not done. You just go do it in a different way. Yeah,
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: go do Go find your normal and then go beat
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: your normal period.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, that's it, just exactly absolutely normal.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: For that lift is and then just go start beating it.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: And not only do they beat it, they destroy it.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: So it's it's so much fun to.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Watch it really absolutely absolutely and also the jew I
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: loved it. I loved the juniors, all that all that energy.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: They have the kid from fill In doing backflips after
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: events and I was like, oh, I could never do
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: a backflip. And he just did a log lift over
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: one hundred kilos and he's doing backflips.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I was like, I was a little scared
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: for him the way he landed. Great.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that age, you're fine, Yeah.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Fine, you're very bendy at that age. Yeah yeah. So yeah,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: but yeah, the kid was amazing, he really was. And
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: then I think Bubba kind of kind of like motivated
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: him because but Bubba's in the eighteen and nineteen year
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: olds at fourteen.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's crazy, and he's looking like the eighteen and
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: nineteen year olds that like I always like to say,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: I think he couldn't have had a better name than Bubba.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: It's it's the perfect name for that kid and for
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: his energy. It's it's awesome. It's yeah, yeah, I can't
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: wait for him to grow up and just see what
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: what kind of athlete he'll become. Yeah, I mean grow up,
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Like how much growing critic can you do?
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: He's probably going to be He's probably going to be
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: somewhere six eighty six y nine by the time he's
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: all said and done, and he's already weighing like three
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: twenty five, three thirty yeah, at fourteen. Crazy, but he's
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: carrying it well, he's not. He's not just a slot fat,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: sloppy kid. He's a no, he's a strong kid. I
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: mean he's that lives in six hundred pounds already.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: So yeah, and he's moving fast with the weights also
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: in the moving events. I was interested to see that,
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: you know, I saw his larger frame for as you said,
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: for a fourteen a year old kid, he is big,
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: but to see him move so quickly, to see that, yo,
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: that mass is functional, that's functional mass. He's using it
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: to propel himself and the weights across the competition floor
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: like a pro. So I couldn't really tell. I couldn't
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: tell how young he was actually he actually is. You
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: couldn't tell from sitting on the outside.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean I think if he goes in
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: the younger age class, the fifteen to sixteen, he just
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: walks away with it so much, but it's not challenging
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: to him. So he wanted to go and be challenged.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, so.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: That's why he went into the eighteen and nineteen exactly,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: I think, or seventeen eighteen, right, I don't know, I
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: think that's what it was, seventeen to eighteen. But he's
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: going to if he keeps this up. I mean, the
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: way kids grow at this age and the way their
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: body's mature and stuff like that, by the time he's
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: you know, eighteen nineteen, he's going to he's gonna be
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: pushing the world the top ten in the world's strongest man.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Absolutely age.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Absolutely also within training knowledge that we now have. Remember
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: like even like I'm a science.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Like the first American to do I lived over a
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: thousand in a storm contests.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: So yeah, exactly, So like remember, like I remember now
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: in thirty six, so when I started like lifting at
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: seventeen eighteen, a lot of the cues by coaches will
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: like just lift harder, pressed harder, And now there's so
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: much more to work around how to do your training,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: how to train explosivity, static strength, and so on and
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: so forth. So it's it's great to see. And also
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: what you were saying that the challenging himself, I love
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: to see that. You saw a lot of that. Also
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: have to go back to the adaptive some more time. Also,
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: a lot of athletes there were competing in classes they
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: wouldn't even have to be in the completely competed in
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: standing classes even though they did not have the regular requirements.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: For example, for leg amputation, there's the standing class. I
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: think it has a lot of to do. I don't
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: know enough, and I think probably at some point you
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: should have somebody on your talking about the beauty of
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: the adaptive class, because there's a lot of half knowledge
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: that I'm sharing here. But I think it was depending
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: on how high the imputation is above the knee below
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: the knee, and there were definitely people who had above
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: the knee amputations competing in the standing class. That wouldn't
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: even have to be there, and they were just Nope,
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: I want to challenge myself. I want to lift these
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: heavy ass weights, and I want to do it with
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: the other guys, and I have to have the utmost
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: respect of that mindset, the tenacity.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: It was awesome.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, or fully agree? Yeah, fully agree, couldn't I couldn't
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: agree more. I mean it's the will, the inner drive,
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: the heart, the wanting to push themselves as far as
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: they can possibly push themselves and just enjoy doing it.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: That's the thing. This is what they love to do.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, good for them. It's so much
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: better than people sitting on the couch and going, well,
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: they're not feeling sorry for themselves. They're getting out and
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: just making the best of every day and everything that
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: it is. And if the whole world did that, it
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: would be such a better place. Oh yeah, it truly would. Yeah,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: it would just be so much better. Yep.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: But well, you know, I also want to talk about
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the actual event too, because last time it was in Wisconsin, yeah,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: and this year Texas a lot warmer, was rainy, but
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: the stadium was absolutely beautiful.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: They couldn't have gotten better that that is probably the
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: best place I've seen it thrown yet. The warm up
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: areas were just perfect as far as the amount of
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: size for everybody to get warmed up that needed to
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: get warmed up. The competition area, it was it was
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: flawless because it was able to handle that and just
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: the seating and stuff. You know, there's plenty of seating
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: for the fans, plenty of seating for the competitors and
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: their families that came, and the coat you just everybody
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: that was there, it was. It was a great venue.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: The upper deck where people would normally go for the
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: for the concessions and stuff like that, all set up
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: with the with the sponsors and stuff like that and
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: the boosts and people selling straw men and shirts and
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: everything that they need, and it was it was just
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: just a great place. They did a great job, they
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: really did.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Also the JumboTron, how yeah was it also? You saw
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: how happy.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Jumbo tron with the names. Yes, so as they're coming
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: out the names are right there. That that that makes
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: what you do just way way and it makes what
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: we do easier too because I can look at that.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, go ahead, No, no, I just I want to
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: say a lot of times. I was actually more focused
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: on the JumboTron because the action was easier to describe
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: than like looking around, Hey, where where does the shoulder
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: they the arm bend or anything. No, you had a
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: jump tron to talk off of. That was amazing.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and it was kind of like for me,
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: I could look up, go okay, Chris, here's what we're doing,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: you know, and you know, it makes it a lot
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: easier to judge people and just know who's coming up
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: and stuff like that. It was just I just loved it.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: I really did. And then the new iPad system that
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: they had set up where I could walk over and go,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: this is their time, this is what and pop it
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: instantly goes up before their face and everything's gone. You
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: can see their times in nearly real time right up there.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: So it's kind of neat. As you're an athlete, you
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: drop down, I walk over and tell it, and then
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: you just look up at your face and now your
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: time or reps or whatever it is for that event
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: is right there up on the screen for you. It's
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: just genius how they're really starting to come together with
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: this technology.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: So absolutely eight eighty L Live they did an amazing job. Also,
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: it is so hard capturing moments, and I felt like
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: they did, like the camera crew also, the production crew.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: The camera guys, they knew, Hey, this is looking like
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: somebody's at the heaviest weights. Okay, let's move over there,
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: but let's keep the guy fighting with a lighter weight
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: behind him. Let's just keep him in the background so
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: we can still see him. And the crew also like
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: the production crew switching camera, switching angles. Such a great work. Also,
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: as you've just mentioned, the production value of those name cards,
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: the production values. It always mentioned the athlete's name, it
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: mentioned their instagram a lot of time, it mentioned it
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: mentioned the weights for the heat, so nobody at home
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: was like, wait, what was the third bag at again, No,
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: you could see it right there on the screen. You
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: were right there in it. It was really really professionally done.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: And to go back to the venue that you said before,
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: I also think it's the right size for an event
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: like this. If it's too big, it looks weird for
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: the athlete. And also I don't know about the live
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: streams and the asked you could like tell that a
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: lot of parts of like large arenas was just walled
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: off and here you can just see the crowd and
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: the athletes just like congregating around the arena, and it
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: was this this pit of this action pit like down
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: at the bottom. It was really really cool.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Arlington the university is just that that that was
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: like the perfect size.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: And also I feel like Atlas Stone companies should ask
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: that that arena where they they sourced that concrete because
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: that remember that one log dropping and the steel plates
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: splitting into and I was like, oh no, they're going
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: to get in trouble. They ruined the concrete and look
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: there's not even a dentist. I couldn't even see the scratch.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: So I feel like, yeah, atlastone companies should ask, hey,
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: what is that concrete man?
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, what did they mix in it to get?
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Speaking of stones, those naturals were pretty I love it.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: I love that idea.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think they learned a lot from making that set. Yeah,
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: so future sets, they only had one stone that had.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: An issue, the lightest one, Yeah.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: The second lightest one.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: It was the second the second lightest one, Yeah, because
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: it was so small and had such a big room
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: in there. I think to add weight, and I think
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: that's that's what made it instable. But like we talked
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: about is remember on the intro for your recap. I
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: feel like natural stones have like belong in strong men
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: because natural stone lifting and stone lifting in general, it
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: is such an amazing way to display strength and it
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: has been for hundreds and hundreds of years. And to
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: have the ability to watch these athletes tackle this. Like
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: all of you know or some of you know might
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: know that that Sonny Bradley is my is my fiance
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: and she is a really avid stonelifter and she always
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: explains stone lifting avid. Yeah, she's she's more than an
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: avid stone I know, I don't I don't want to.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: She's one of the best admirers. First, absolutely, yes, she
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: is one of the first women to do the full
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: staircer lift. I didn't want to glaze her too much,
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: but I here we go. Yeah, she's the one of
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: the She is the first to do the full stairker
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: She is one of the first at the Whosfel. She
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: has lifted certain stones in Scotland and that haven't been
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: lifted by other women. The art for lick Stone, for example,
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: it's also over one hundred and fifty kilos and I
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: was I'm glad to have been there for I wasn't
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: there for her first whose fell lift, but I was
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: there for a second when she carried it. Really really
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: happy about that. But to go back to what I
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: was saying, is Sunny always explains it like natural stone
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: lifting is the heaviest quiz or puzzle that you can
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: solve because it comes you arrive at the stone and
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: this is like the only like if I had one
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: critique about the stone lifting event, like give them ten
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: or fifty more seconds because you know, to figure things out.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Maybe because sometimes like some of the guys, guys and gals,
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: I felt like, hey, they were so close to finding
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: that position for their hands and body and everything. But
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: other than that, such a great event for like to
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: see the athletes tackle these things differently. Some switch turned
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: the stones. You saw Sonny who had her back injured
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: to get down on one knee, roll the stone across
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: her lap onto the other leg, and then stand up
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: with the help of having that stone up on that leg.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: Those are possibilities. There's class techniques where you interlock your fingers,
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: there's ways to roll the stone up your chest. There's
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: so much possibility to show technique and wisdom there. So
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: I was really really excited to see natural stones at
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: OSG this year. This was a great addition and I
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: feel like Sticks and Stones did an amazing, amazing effort
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: to bring as I said, real fake stones into an arena.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: And you don't have to grab stones from a river
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: bed or take the legendary stones from somewhere. No, we
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: had our own stones. They were all the same for
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: both lanes. Also crazy to have similar two sets of natural.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: The same stones. Yes, that's that's the cool part I
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: thought about this is it's extremely hard if you're get
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: to run more than one at a time to get
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: the exact same setup for everybody when it comes to
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: natural stones. And the way David figured that out and
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: just and We're able was able to make the stones
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: that was awesome. I think me personally, this is gonna
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: sound pretty bad, but I would love to see like
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Brian or or the people at Worlds or at the
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Rogue have him building like probably three different sets of these, yeah,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: and all the same so they have one extra backup,
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: and then like do a set of these at Worlds
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: or at the Strongest Man on Earth or at the
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Rogue and set the weights spicy.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, so, which would be fun because they're loadable.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: That's the thing people don't understand is they're lotable. He
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: unscrews the tap and you can dump in the steel
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: shot is what they're putting in there. The cool part.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: The other thing on top of that is that it's
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: a puzzle. You got to figure out where you put
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: your hands, which you're not ready for. Yes, is the
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: fact that that steel shot is going to move inside
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: that container, and so as you're picking it up, it's
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: going to slash a little bit. And that's where you
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: see people that kind of haphazardly grabbed it. You can't
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: halfway grab those things. If you're going to do them,
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: you gotta do them. You got to grab it, commit
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: to it, and you have to have zero respect for
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: it once you put apply the force to it to
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: get it up into your lap. Once you got in
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: your lap, you're fine, Yeah, exactly, but yeah, and then
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: then once it's in your app, you got to figure
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: out where you put your hand so that you could
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: get it up over the over the h Yeah. So
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: it was really neat. I'd kind of like to see
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: more of that because you can go get natural stones
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: you can play with them and you can train with them,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: which will help you figure them out. But you'd almost
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: have to go get like, go out and get different
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: stones all the time because what you're going to be
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: learning there is how to adapt on you know, right there,
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: and I at mistakes I saw people making.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Were not was not watching it, Yeah, exactly.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: That third stone was probably the hardest of the four
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: to lift. Yeah, And the couple people that you could
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: see watch the other groups go and watch somebody successfully
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: lift it, because you could grab it side like on
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: each end and pick it up if you were tall
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: enough and if you were strong enough, but it was
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: a really really hard, stiff like a deadlift, and you
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: had to have a wide wingspan to do that. Everyone else,
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: the guys that turned it sideways and then rotated it,
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: it gave them a really good spot to grip at.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: And every one of those that picked it up and
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: then on as a bonus when they found that spot
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: picked it up got in their lap when they went
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: to grab it to lift it up and throw it
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: over the over the hitching posts. It put them in
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: the correct position to wrap around it as well, so
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: they got a double bonus where they didn't just get
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: it in their lap and have a hard time finding
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: place to put their hands and had to search while
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: in lap. It gave them the easy, the workable pick,
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: and then it gave them the very workable, you know,
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: the lift over the bar load. Absolutely shame on people
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: for not watching more.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: Yes, and because as it comes down, this is og
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: strong men stuff. This is if you, if you're in
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: like if anybody like starts like researching a stone lifting
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: this is, for example, the full stak Refore it determined
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: back then, it determined the worth of you as a
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: man or a warrior depending on how heavy of a
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: stone you could lift. So lifting the full circlement, you
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: would get full pay and full respect as a man
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: or woman if you were able to do to lift
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: that stone. So it's it's it's so cool to see
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: this like stuff that's in old paintings, old old novels,
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: old stories from back in the.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Day of war. Yeah, old lore.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: To see this come back and also to be able.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's there's always this debate of how much
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: standardization should you put into strong men, you know, how
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: how similar should every contest be? And I think there
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: might be I'm going on a limb here. I like
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: the more odd stuff. I don't know if standardization is
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: the perfect way to go. I'm not one hundred percent sure.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: I'm not the expert. Just as a as an onlooker,
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: I like weird stuff. And to see as like halfway
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: standardized event with the with the natural stones, that brought
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: this element of hey, you can't train this. You don't
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: I own these stones, this set of stones, this is
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: random for everyone except for maybe the guy who made it,
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: who because they've said these are his the replicas of
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: his lifting stones. But everyone else got a completely new
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: set of stones, and so that that gave this old
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: like this, this this old rugged, lower based strong man
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: back to the athletes and the crowd. And I think
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: it was an amazing, amazing idea by Bylin. Also to
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: add this is a great idea.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: I think there should be some standardization, and I also
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: think there should be some I think if we go
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: like sixty forty, yeah, I think that's perfect. I mean
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: the last log in the log series for the men,
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: we had that big end on it that throws everybody off, yes,
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: when they go to clean it. And there's certain ways
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: which I'm not going to say on this hm to
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: train for that without having one of those definite way
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: to do it. Same thing with training for a fixed axle,
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: and you don't have a fixed axle, there's a way
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: to train for it and do it. But if you
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: don't know how to do that, then when you get
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: in the competition it's like, oh, oh yep, this is
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: different and you got to figure it out on the spot.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: So but I think there should be some you should
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: have to.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Use.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: It shouldn't just be pure standardization. You you should be
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: able to train kind of like it. Well, it's like
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: I said, I would go out and get a different
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: river rocks all the time. I mean here, you just
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: drive out to Mount Charleston. There's boulders all down the
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: side of the mountain, you know, for where the water
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: runs down after the rain, that are all good enough
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: that you can lift and just bring a battery and
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: a scale and you can throw it on the scale,
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: see how much it weighs, and then go for it
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: and get used to picking up all kinds of different
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: things getting ready for it. Then when you get there
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: you'll find something You'll not how to pick it up,
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: know how to do everything on the spot and go.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: But it just involves It just involves some thinking on
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: your part, that's all. It's just. And those who want
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: to do well in it will sacrifice and find the
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: time and get it done. And those who just want
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: to show up on game day and give it a run,
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: and just going to show up on game day and
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: give it a run.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, absolutely, sometimes you can brute for us things.
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: But I feel like a lot of people thought like
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: I'm just going to go as hard as I can
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: on these natural stones. Didn't work out great for everyone.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: Most most people did that did not fare well.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, and no. I thought this was this
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: is an amazing thing. And also maybe it will give
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: it's a good advertisement for the strong man's sport of
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: natural stone lifting. The only thing I would say there
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: if you if you are interested in natural stone lifting,
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: it's the one thing that's very important to the natural
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: stone lifting community. If you go out for those legendary stones,
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: the full stare Core, the Hohosafel, it's to treat those
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: strones with respect. Don't overhead press everything and then drop
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: it onto a rocky ground. Please bring a crash pad.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: Leave the sides the way you found them. Take out
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: your trash. Just be respectful, because if we all treat
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: these historical stone lifting sites well, we can all preserve
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: them for generations after us to train there. So I
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: think it's that's like the one thing about the natural
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: stone lifting with somebody but wants to get in there.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: Just treat the sides with respect, be careful with the stones.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: And because you know, I've heard stories that there is
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: a crack appearing in the Husafel, the real one, and
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: that's a shame. And I think there is a motion
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: being set now or like people starting in Iceland as
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: saying we are going to replace the original Husafel with
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: a replica, which is cool and the right thing to
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: do obviously if the if the real one is getting cracks,
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: but this is also it might be a result of
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: people mistreating it. So this is like the one thing
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: I would like to add to the whole stone lifting things, like,
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: just treat the stuff with respect so we can all
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: enjoy it.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so it can last. I mean the thing, the
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: stuff's last like a quarter of a millennia already. Yeah,
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: let's look take care of things. You want things to
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: be there for the next generation and the generation after that.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: And the generation after that. And if you meet head
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: and you come out there and don't have any respect
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: for it and break it, yeah, everyone loses. Yea.
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because there's a video of that, and everyone is
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: going to hate you for that.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll you'll definitely have a few people to answer
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: to you that will give you their peace of mind.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, whether you like it or not. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: And some of these people are very strong and when
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: they get angry.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, and some of them are people of action.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: So yeah, exactly, do the smart.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Thing, respect the respect, respect the equipment, respect the history. Yes.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: And with that too, I want to take a little
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: moment to thank the volunteers of this shows, uh, for
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: the changeover the way everything ran.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Everything was so smooth.
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: Yes, Usually with volunteers, you can see after like day
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: or day two, day three, some guys will start taking
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: more seats. Not these guys, Not these volunteers. They were
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: drenched in sweat, they were they were had cuts and
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: blemishes all over their arms and hands, and everyone has
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: been bleeding for at least one time during that event.
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: For one reason, there's this really great into the did
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: you see that Instagram video of the guy who did
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: the recap of the crewing. No, I will have to
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: damn it. This is going to be hard for me
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: to find. He did a whole hand drawn recap of
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: crewing at the event. It's so good. Like, I feel
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: like the next time OSG they should hire that guy
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: to do the event announcement because he was explaining the
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: events so great. I have to find it. Maybe you
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: talk and I'll try to find it so we get
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: say his Instagram name, give me a second year.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: One of the things that I liked was, like I said,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: the switch over because this is the smoothest og that
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: I've been to.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: I think I've been to about four now, and the
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: amount of downtime is cut down so hard.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they did a good Lind did a good job.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: I read arranged the contest and the events that to
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: where they were manageable for everybody.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Yea, so that was awesome, But absolutely.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: I think some of the other neat things was like
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: you had Gabby that just worked NonStop the moment. Yes,
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: from the beginning of the thing to the end of
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: the thing. You have Dave.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: There's no stuff and no stuff in these guys.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then the whole entire crew. And then you
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: had Austin and Radi going out there. You had Nick
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: Gordion going out there. Yep, Travis had a broken arm,
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: but he was out there. Mitch was out there a
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: little bit. Ye, Lucas Lucas Hatton was going out there.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: They were all helping. So actual World Strongest Man competitors
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: and reigning or former World Strongest Men were going out
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: there and helping. I was judging, So I mean, we
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: all try to participate and give back to the sport
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: in our own way. So yes, it's it's neat to
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: see just all the way around, from the top to
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: the bottom, people just they love the sport and they
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: give their time and they get.
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: They gave it there all they gave it. They're all
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: like and they never complained. They never were like bitching
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: and moaning about stuff. They were the entire time. I
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: fund the by the way front the Instagram look up,
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: I underscore still function. I send it to you Nick,
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: and it's the guy did an amazing recap. If you
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: have the time later on you should you should really
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: check it out. It was it's I think it's one
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: of the best recaps and also gave a real uplifting
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: UH attitude after this event too. It was a really
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: really cool thing. But once again, the crew absolutely amazing.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: And also it's it's not only the heavy lifting, all
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: the organized the organizing putting stuff into these As you
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: said that you mentioned the tablet system before. It was
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: also great for you guys reffing. It was also great
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: for me as a commentator. But because for every athlete,
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: I had a little sheet how old are they, what
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: are their favorite lifts, food, what are the cool things
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: they want to talk about? And some people had really
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: cool stories in there that I couldn't even get to
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: on the mic. I think that was more for the
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: live stream, but it was. It was so it made
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: my job so easy because for every heat, I had
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: the faces, I had the data, I had the stories,
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: and if I had time, I was able to throw
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: a thing in or two on the on the on
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: the microphone. But that was great and somebody had to
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: put all of that in there. Also, the people running
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: the registry, the people running the entrance making there's so much.
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: That getting pictures, yes, yes, never, we're going just all
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: of it. Yeah, four hundred people, four hundred pictures, people
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: all getting torn in different directions, and guys worrying about weighing.
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: In and yeah, and I have to say it's like
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: that we have. I don't know if I think this
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: is an international saying if you want to complain about
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: a show, you should Crew one at least once in
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: your life, like Crew one, before you start complaining about things.
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: Because the the the amount of blood sweat in tears
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: that this entire crew, and especially Lynn, Like I remember
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: day three in the morning, Lynn, he was like he
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: was white like he was there was no blood left
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: in his face. And I had to shove like I
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: had this like three cookies, these three cookies in a
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: handkerchief and I was like, you eat these or I
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: will not let you continue on walking. And you have
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: some water he had that some color returned to his face.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: But that man was running pedal to the metal, full speed,
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: full action mode, all weekend, for all week because for
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: the crew, the whole event didn't start Thursday, Friday or
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: Saturday or Sunday. It was all week So like to
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: see that much dedication to such an event, that much
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: love for the sport, that much love and respect for
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: the athletes, it's heartwarming and it's such a great thing
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: that we have people like Lynn and the crew who
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: give back so much to the sport that they enjoy
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: watching or competing in themselves great time. It's we were
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: very lucky to have these people who are creating this
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: for us.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and don't expect a perfect world. No, there's not
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: massive amounts of money behind this, and that's something that
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: the young kids coming in that grow expectant and stuff
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: like that need to understand. There's not a whole lot
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: of people getting rich off this. They do it because
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: they love it. And you know, if if Lynn is
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: able to make a decent living for his entire family
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: off of this, god bless. But he's not getting rich.
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: We're not getting rich. So, I mean, it's just a
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: fun thing that we love to do, that we love
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: and we want to see this sport grow to the
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: point to where, you know, if you are, you know,
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: a top ten competitor, yeah you can survive off of
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: doing that, which is going to make all the competition
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: better over time. But don't come in there and just
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: expect it all to be handed to you on a
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: silver platter and everything to be perfect and nothing to
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: go wrong, and oh they got to do this and no, no, no, no, no, not.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: No, no, I would. I would even if you want
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: to complain.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: To the point, people will get so eventually if you complain,
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: eventually you just go.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: It's not worth my time. Yeah, exactly.
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: And if we if we we mistreat the people that
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: run these competitions, they will get to this point, as
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: you've just said. And also I would go as far
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: as I don't think anybody really gets rich of the
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: sport in general, even the people who become World Strongest Man,
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: they get rich of stuff that happens after For example,
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: Brian being able to create a brand, to create like
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: a platform for himself and that's the reason he like
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: gain like gets money from this is it's not the
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: big titles like people need to. Yeah, we're not soccer players,
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: we're not football players or NBA players. These these people
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: are strong men. They break their back for a really
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: really really small amount of money.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah no, I agree, Yeah, so just understand that.
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, it's it's it was It's great of
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: how much love you can see that everybody who was
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: involved in this show gave in it. And I think
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: like the feedback I got from athletes and on rooklers
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: was that they felt that love and I'm really really happy.
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: And this is also one thing that's really important to me,
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: is that people at this event enjoyed what I went.
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: The feedback I got enjoyed the event a lot. They
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: enjoyed the setup, the arena, the crew, how easy everything was.
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: Also the way that they run ran events. It used
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: to be back then. The last time I was there
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: with Sonny when she was competing, it was all weight classes,
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: one event for the women, then after that all weight
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: classes for the men for that event, and then they
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: would go into event number two. Now like they set.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: It up so you're a small group.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, I remember those days where you can only
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: look at the vendors so many times. You can only
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: look at other events so many times because if you've
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: seen it like twelve, thirteen, fourteen times, it's starting to
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: be you know, I've seen loglift now, you know. So
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: the way they did it now, it made it so
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: great for athletes. For the crew also, who didn't have
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: to do like huge weight changes all the entire time.
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: They had small groups they were able to run and
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: it was it was such a well run contest. I
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: didn't see anything where I would like they should change this.
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: Oh this is not going well. The contest was amazingly run.
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: Great are a great venue, great crew. I have only positives,
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: and I love everyone. I have just the deepest love
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: and respect for everyone who participated in the cement.
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Noel the same way.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And like I said, I always hate to
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: bring up controversy, but we do have to talk about
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: the elephant in the room, you know.
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: So if you waited this long to hear us talk
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: about this, uh yeah, there was. There was a little
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: bit of controversial, a little bit a lot. Well, the
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: one major controversial thing was Jamie Jimmy Booker, Yes, uh competing. Yeah,
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: and there. I think it was the third competition I've
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: ever done.
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think this is the the third one that
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: she's done. For those of you who don't know, let's
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: let's keep this short because I feel like, as I've
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: said this before, this is a very difficult topic. It's
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: I don't want to really like, I don't want to
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: offend everyone. I want everybody to have a place in
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: the sport, everybody to enjoy the sport. It's a super
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: super difficult thing. Let's just call it what it is.
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: Jamie Booker was assigned male at birth, and she competed
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: for the title of World's Strongest woman and won it.
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: The it's it is. As I said, this is a very,
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: very difficult issue. I also don't know if let's let's
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: say it outright. Three ball guys are the best and
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: smartest people to talk about this. Yeah, so I think
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: like we should like this is all our just reflecting
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: our own opinion. This is a very it was a
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: very difficult situation for Lynn.
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: It does say right in the rules, it does yes,
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: you have to do that, So that Jamie knowingly went
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: around the rules.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: She did not disclose it.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: She didn't disclose it, and there's and refutable evidence online
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: that it is indeed true. So that's kind of on her.
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: I don't think. I think the fix to this in
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: the end is just create a whole, Just create a
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: division and you can come and compete in that division. Yeah.
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: I think natural born men that are just we're just bigger,
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: we're just stronger, and that's the reality and biology of
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: the situation. It's it's it's indisputable.
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: There's not that especially everybody who's gone through purity, especially
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: the male puberty, changes a lot of things, bone structure,
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: muscle structure, and so on. It's it's the thing I
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: said in the beginning. I want everybody to be able
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: to enjoy this amazing sport. I want everybody to be
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: able to compete, and I would love to see everybody
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: to compete alongside each other. But I feel like the best,
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: perfect solution for this problem has not been found yet.
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: I think, I think just give them their own Give
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: give the people that want that feel this way their
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: own division.
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, either that, or have them competing alongside the others,
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: but keep their score separate for now until something fitting
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: is found for situations such as this, I also would
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: like to say, and this is important to me, I
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: did not like how the Internet reacted to the situation
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: because the amount of like pure like it was very hateful,
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: the way that people were coming at her. And of
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: course she did something wrong, but like people do things
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: wrong every time, and they shouldn't be receiving death threats.
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: I feel like Rebecca Roberts had a really good post
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: about this. She said she doesn't like the way that
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: the Jimmy Jamie's humanity is being stripped from her. And
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: this was also like, this is still a person. This
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: is she might have done something wrong or she she
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: has gone against the rules. Yes, but this shouldn't result
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: in a witch hunt in people calling her really like
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: disgusting names, because this is only this is in the end,
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: still a person that wants to live their life. And
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: all of us have made mistakes, we all had to
• 54:57
  Speaker 4: face repercussions, and she's she should should like receive criticism.
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: But the way it was done was it was it
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: was painful to see. And also people were attacking her.
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: People were attacking Lynn, people were attacking OSG. People were
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: weren't there, people were misinterpreting things. For example, that scene
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: where Andrea stands on the podium on second Place and
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: she says like this is bullshit.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: Can we go?
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: This was just Andrea being disappointed that she didn't want
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: and didn't win. She didn't know that this whole controversy
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: at that point, but people on the internet were like, oh,
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: look you can see Andrea. She's so pissed. She knew
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: and she had to do this all day, all weekend
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: with with with Jamie. It's it's yeah, none of us knew.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, none of us knew found out you know, was taken.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, none of us knew till the the evidence surface, Yeah,
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: the direct evidence surface. Then you're like, oh, well okay,
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: and then they took action and then they fixed it.
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: And Andrea didn't get to get her first place trophy
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: and celebrate that when when she should have. And then
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: you know, Jackie got third, she didn't. She didn't get
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: to celebrate that the way she should have. And the
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: girl that got eleventh, you know, didn't get to compete
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: in the finals. So those are three people that you
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: know didn't didn't get what they actually deserved. Like I said,
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: the way this is now, I think moving forwards, there
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: should either be a completely separate division and then they
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: can just go and do it and they can win,
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: and it's it's the same competing against the same. It's
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: just that simple. I think everybody should compete in the sport.
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: It's a great sport. I think everybody should do it,
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: but I think it needs to be a fair playing field.
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, the men's world
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: records just on the deadlift alone, it's a four hundred
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: pound difference on the squad. It's even higher than that,
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: and on the bench, I don't even want to talk
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: about it because the biggest bench ever done by a
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: man's like thirteen change. I think the biggest one done
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: by a woman's like maybe six hundred.
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: Wouldn't I wouldn't know too much about this now, but
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: I know what you're saying.
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so, I mean there's a massive difference between
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: the two sexes, and that's just that. It's not really
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: a negotiable.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: It's just how it is.
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's the truth. And if people have the
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: right to be whatever they want to be, I don't care.
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: You don't have the right to force others to pretend.
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: You have the right to be whatever you want. But
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: when you get into the arena of forcing others to
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: do that, like using their bathroom, using their locker room,
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: or competing against them, you're forcing others to pretend. And
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: that's not fair at the end of the day, that's
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: not fair. We do think you should be able to compete,
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: and I do think you should have your own space.
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: I completely I got no problem with you having your
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: own space none. Just don't take it from other people.
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: It's just that simple.
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's it's Also, what's what was very disappointing
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: to see was people now coming for other strong women
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: that are because people were like, oh, you should know
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: seven foot tall and so heavy. It's like no, like
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: we have women that are giants, like female giants. Look
• 58:30
  Speaker 4: at Rebecca Roberts, Lucy Unders. These are like amazing athletes
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: and they're tall, they're they're they're taller than most men
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: even but and they are amazing, amazing athletes. And to
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: now see people attack them online, questioning their their coellectuality,
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: it's it's it's such a sad thing to see too
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: that this resulted from this. Also like all the like
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: people were accusing OSG and just imagine to put yourself
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: Lynch's shoes. He is just almost killed himself by running
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: a show for seven days and setting this up. And
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: he's on the way back just like like hoping for
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: the last couple of kilometers or miles to be eaten
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: up by the vehicles until every piece of equipment gets
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: the storage and he's just like, Okay, once I got
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: things into storage, I can relax. And then it's like, oh,
• 59:18
  Speaker 4: now you have to do it with a huge media scandal.
• 59:21
  Speaker 4: But suddenly people are involved who don't even know anything
• 59:24
  Speaker 4: about strong men, and you have.
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: To contact lawyers. Yeah, and and remember before they can
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: even release the change and anything else, they still got
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: to run everything through lawyers, Which is that all of
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: a sudden, your costs went through the roof. For Yeah,
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: it's so, and it's it's so. It just it's just
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: so sad that you just busted your tail and now
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: you got to go deal with lawyers and then come
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: back and then release the information and then see all
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: the fallout that comes from that. And it's not it's
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: not why you're.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 4: Doing this, it's it's very unfortantly. It felt like I
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: don't think there was any winners in this situation. I
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: feel like everybody lost in the bay. And it shows
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: once again it's like, man, people on the internet sure
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: can be assholes. Let's yeah, yeah, because I.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: Don't know how to train back.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: Well, well, hey, well, I want to end this episode
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: on a good note and let's talk. Let's just uh,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick my favorite event, which is always a
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: dead lift ladder m hmm. Got from from from men's
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: to women's. It was nasty, it was hard, and that
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: that final bar is what really pushed everyone in that
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: in that so like that was my that was my
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: favorite event.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was my favorite event too. I totally fangirled
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: that event and completely. I thank god I have a
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: lot of voice. Mark Market hear me. He lifted the
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: first bar so fast. I was just like I was
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: in awe.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: I'm like down.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: So I run to the next one. I'm like down,

  Speaker 3: Go back to the next one, down the last one.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: When I told him down, I moved my arm dead.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh boy, I just totally I just fangirled.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: I got I just I'm so amazed by that man sometimes.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: And it's just at the end of the day, I'm
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: still a fan of the sport, you know. I like
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: watching some journists and watching Mark and watching George and
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: just all the Mark Bevan's still being there and still
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: going and doing it, and Ald and Mike Kromer and
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: these guys are in their fifties and they're still going.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: And I'm still a fan. I'm still like geek out
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: over things and like freak out. And I'm glad I
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: was quick on my feet, that's for sure. But I
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: apologize forgetting to get to the command on the first
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: one as quick as I should have. But I mean
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: that that guy is just so amazing, so so journals.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: I mean they're just so fun to watch. And then
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: George is just being right on their tail, both of
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: their tails, the whole time.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's a mean looking man. That's a
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: mean looking man, Chartist.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: Very nice, though.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: Imagine imagine that's like you're what's it called the father
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: of your bride the oh yeah, father in law? Yeah,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: father in law.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: Word.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 4: Just imagine like you it's like, hey, this is my dad,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 4: and you're like, oh damn.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I feel bad for my daughter because when she
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: was in high school, I think I only met two
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: boys that tried to date her. Yeah, one of the
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: one of them came to the house. He was very respectful,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: and then the other one like a figured it out
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: and he was like oh wow, you know, and he's
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: like talking to me and I was like, oh, yeah,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: it's right here, and so I ended up in the
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: garage showing him everything in the garage for an hour.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: She's like, Dad, I'm like, oh, you didn't bring a
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: home at ten thirty, right. She's like, well, I was
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: thinking eleven thirty. I'm like, you bring home, he goes,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: I'll have her home at ten. I'm like, cool, we
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: understand each other. Yeah.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: Now I have to say, I have to say my
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: favorite win would have been the natural Stone series, just
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: because of what I've talked about earlier, having this like
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: really cool old school like og strongman element added back
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: into an arena, to have it standardized. Even though I'm
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 4: not the fan of whole like one hundred percent standardization,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 4: it was.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: It was great.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: And it was also the people who completed the run
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 4: who like as you said, looked at the others correctly,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 4: and then also like, for example, Mark Felix. We all
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 4: know Marcus huge hands and great grip, we all know that,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 4: so wings, Yeah, like I think he could have like
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: the I think if you take all the steel shot
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 4: out of all the store stones, Mark would probably have
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: just palmed all of them to like pull them over.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: But surprise, Yeah, yeah, to see him go and like
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 4: smash it in twenty four something seconds amazing, amazing, and
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: and you know it's like showing the world is like, hey,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: I'm over fifty and I'm still absolutely crushing things. It's
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: it's so cool it's so cool. It gives it should
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: give every man who's like, like, for myself, I'm like, now,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 4: as I said thirty six, like I'm starting to get
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: the first ages and pains right, so to know it's like, hey,
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 4: it's like, yeah, it gets away, of course, but you
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 4: can still do the cool, cool stuff. So I'm like, yeah,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 4: and watching you Nick also like, do like still do
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: the power of your squad the way you squat all
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: those heavy weights and not like completely I have your
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 4: knees and back, just detonate and shatter, put shrapnel into
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 4: the first three rows of onlookers. It's amazing that that
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 4: age is just the number. It depends on how much
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 4: like how well you train, how smart you train, and
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: to like to really gauge your intensity. So it's it's
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 4: so cool to see an event such as this and
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 4: then to have Mark completely obliterated. It's it was such
• 1:05:14
