And we're back. You're feeling better, my key.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
We're alive. We are alive. Lungs are a little weird,
but we're there. Yeah, lungs are so weird, little weird,
just like gunk. Yeah, and then with our allergies in
this beautiful city of trees doesn't.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Help, No, it really doesn't. And this is like the
worst allergy year I've had in a while. Yeah, and
they've been bad, but like my eyes hitch every day.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
And yeah, I mean we had a decent amount of rain.
There's a lot of green out there. And then it
was like kind of a long winter. I guess seventy
I got a hoodie on. Yeah, you know, fucking mid May.
Last May was probably one hundred and five degrees.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yeah. I mean it's rained a little bit in the
last couple of days, which is crazy. It's nothing. It
never happens in May, but it you know, no.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
The Old West Coast. It was raining in Vegas in May.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
That's that is crazy.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah, not normal, not normal. But we're alive, we're alive,
weather's getting better, we're moving well. Strongest man's in town.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yeah, we're gonna get to that.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, we got NBA playoffs yeah, MLB is kicking Pete Rose.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Pete Rose, Rose, Shulis, Joe Jackson, Schulis, Jow Jackson. Things
should have been done a long time ago.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
What do you do?

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Did the Chicago Black Sox scandal is what they call it?
It was the White Sox with called the black Socks
because they they said that they bet on baseball and
they threw the World Series, except that he had a
phenomenal World Series in terms of scoring.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Did the whole team get knocked then?

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Eight guys? Yea, and yeah, but he's the only one
that ended up with a lifetime ban.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Oh, but he's probably the only one good enough to
maybe get the whole of fame? Is that why? Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah? Probably?

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, they're making a little demonstration of them.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
There's a there's a movie from the eighties or maybe
early nineties called eight Men Out Charlie Sheen.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I haven't seen it, but I think I've heard of it.
Why is Charlie Sheen in like, uh, like five baseball movies?

Speaker 1 (02:00):
That's a good question.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
He must just love baseball. That's like Adam Sandler sneaks
in basketball to all his movies and shit, Like I
wonder if they're just huge baseball fans.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
I don't know how tall is Adam Sandler.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Probably six foot max, I bet.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, And Charlie Sheen is like five to seven, so
I mean, yeah, I don't.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Get it it. Maybe just loves it because is he
he's definitely major league?

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah? Major league? Is he?

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Angels in the outfield? There's another charismatic ass looking white dude.
I know what's his name's in there? But fuck, bro,
my names are so bad. You seen angels and outfield?
Never Angels in the outfield's classic bro, classic Disney Channel ass.
Who's the older black man with a g.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Fuck?

Speaker 2 (02:44):
He's like the Morgan Freeman before the Morgan Freeman.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
I don't know. But while we're I'm why I'm in
I AMDB, there's a Danny Glover, Danny yeah from Yeah,
we had him in a.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Weapon Yeah. Yeah, you know Danny Glover, you know his son? Yeah, yeah,
Danny Glover could right. He was kind of the Morgan
Freeman before the Morgan Freeman.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Ish, Yeah, in a way, he was a little more
action oriented.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah. I don't know, man, we got a isn't Morgan?
Oh no, that's Samuel I Wasting of Marvels. Yeah, Marvels. Yeah,
Samuel did kind of steal the action side.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
While I'm in I IMDb very very interesting bit here
that they're making a movie about John Madden. Oh, with
Nicholas Cage as John Madden and Christian Bale as Al Davis.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Interesting, I mean young John. Yeah, he's kind of got
the hair. Oh that's pretty good. Yeah, yeah, that's not bad.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah. I have my friend telling me that looks like
it's AI, and I don't give a shit. I think
I think it is not a AI. I think it's
like it's real.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
But I mean shit, five years from now, we're not
even gonna know who cares.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
But uh yeah, the interesting thing, like they said, it's
follow The film follows Madden's remarkable journey from his Super
Bowl winning partnership with l Davis and the Raiders to
creating Madden NFL and becoming one of the most iconic
voices in football history.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, that's cool. David o' russell passed a couple of
years ago.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah. John mulaney is in it as Trip Hawkins, Catherine
Han as a Virginia.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
But I think hopefully Nick Cage. Nick Cage is one
of those actors you know, like he just kind of
says yes to every script, and so like you make
him a bad actor, but like, is he or is
he just say yes to every shit script on the planet.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
You know, he had a really big IRS problem probably
fifteen years ago, and since then, yeah, he's since then,
he is. He lost a lot and he's been making
up for it.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
By taking it gone in sixty seconds pretty good. Yeah,
there's a couple of films that are like pretty good,
and then you know he's doing whatever the child version
of Da Vinci Code thirty times in a row. This
stuff fucking call him treasure, I swear every time I
watch him, Like, dude, this is just like the third
grade Da Vinci Code.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
It is the third grade Dvinci Code. Yeah, home, my.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Guy was his national treasure, National treasure. Yeah, and he's
just so bad, you know, just the ques. But again
it might not be him. Like there's just corny ass lines.
But The Rock Yeah, The Rock does the same ship.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
No, no, the movie.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
The Rock Oh yeah yeah classic yeah, class totally class
yeah and so good. Yeah, that's fucking uh.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
He's got some corny lines in that too, but they
totally work because the characters is very geeky and probably
if you were to you know, look with eyes back
toward it on the spectrum.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, and the era the Arrow is like just some
of those kind of skapy type films who are a
little corny. Is that what's his name too? Is that
Sean Connery?

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yes, yeah, Sean Connery and crazy, Yeah, Sean Connery. And
and like potentially he's playing a James Bond character.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
What I missed about, That's what I missed about. Like
cable TV is like those movies. I would never go
rent to Blockbuster, but you'd just be bored on a
Saturday as a kid, you know, I'm in junior high
or something, and that kind of shit's on TNT, yeah,
you know, and so like it kind of forces you
to watch some like because that's that's basic way classic,
Like is it all time great now? But like it's good.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
I had, you know, I had completely stopped watching cable stuff,
and that's why I cut the cord. And now I
have YouTube TV and actually I watch more of that
shit now than I did then.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah, No, YouTube TV's got all that.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I watched a little bit of like
I don't think it was a return of the Jedi
the other day list. I have like copies of it
all over the place.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
It feels different, it does. Yeah, it's calling to you.
I've always I have like all these like mini stand
up bits if I ever decided to turn into a
stand up comedian. And one is like cable TV, like
the movie chooses you. You don't choose the movie. It's like,
you know, you're scrolling. It's like, yeah, and the fucking
Jedi shows up, Like you gotta click enter. Yeah, there's
a couple movies you just have to load of the Rings.

(06:46):
They used to do like marathons on Lord of the
Rings whatever every Spring or some shit on TBS and
you just got to click on it. Yeah. Oh.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Another interesting thing that's going on in the world right
now that has certainly caught my attention is this crazy
Instagram probably TikTok too account called Sailing with Phoenix. The
guy is sailing from Portland to Honolulu in a sailboat,

(07:16):
just him and his cat. Out.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
I'm out. I'm out man, his cat's cute. Yeah, I'm out.
I mean, I guess in modern time, right, you grab
yourself a starlink or something. Yeah, GPS like a little
safer but still I don't know, man, Like that's got
to be days, right, that's got to be a week.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
It's more than that.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, yeah, if you got no motor on that thing, he's.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
About halfway as of yesterday.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Even even cruises, I've only done the Bahamas and that. Like,
it's scary when you're out there because they go out
there on purpose so you don't see shit, you know.
But the Mohammas are I ask somebody, you know, they're
like a mile away. I'm like, all right, you know,
like shit hits the fan. I could swim a mile, like,
I'll find my way back to Miami. But like out
there just trailing sharks behind you. Yeah, out there, you're done. Man,

(08:05):
you're done. Portland, like Hawaii is way more south than
people recognize too. That's a long ass journey.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, it's Hawaii is like not far off the equator. Yeah, hey, you're.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Closer to fucking Australia or some shit, Like you're so far.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Portland is not close to the equator.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
No, yeah, yeah, not what I would want to do. Adventure, man,
I mean the same thing flying around the world and
ship and all these people want to do that. I
get it. A modern day, I'd fly around the world maybe,
but not by myself.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
I'll come back to the buy yourself and just a
second thing.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
I sent this one of these videos to our friend
run Cove and said, is this guy living your best life?
And he said absolutely. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
There's two dudes. I know that, Andrew Connor, you know
shot my guy, my old manager, a reboking Cove or
just like two of the dudes. You're like, yeah, man,
I'm just moving to Fiji for a month. Yeah, yeah,
like that kind of shit.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah. I was talking to when speaking of traveling alone,
I was talking to one of our members yesterday, Kevin. He's, uh,
he just booked himself a couple week vacation in Japan
by himself. He was originally going with somebody and that
person had to bail and he said, fucking I'm still going.
I was like, I'm so proud of you, dude.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Well, I mean a lot of people say that they
love it. A lot of people do what are they
called solo travels or solo trips, and if you're in
a place like Japan, I feel like it just can't
go wrong.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Right.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
There's like certain countries, Yeah, there's certain countries you might,
you know, want to raise an eyebrow or do real
good research. But I feel like Japan's one. You could
just fly there and wing it if you had to,
and you're gonna be safe.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
You're gonna be okay, Yeah, he'll be safe. It's just
like the question of like are you gonna be like
bored or lonely or whatever.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
You just plan your days and so that you're you know, yeah,
he'd be probably not. And like Tokyo like obviously depends Japans.
You know, that's more than just Tokyo, but even the
big one like Saporo and stuff. I've watched a lot
of travel vlogs and like, you just start walking the streets,
you're gonna find some shit. You know, it's gonna be
some cool do rather than like, yeah, you end up
in some country you know very little about. Yeah, that's cool.

(10:06):
I mean, Japan's supposed to be it. And the price
is right.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
I get, I guess, I don't know. I didn't ask
him how much.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Now, I just know the dollars really stretched there. The
flight might be whatever, but once you're there, I think
you're getting luxe hotels for forty bucks.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, maybe so. I don't know. I didn't I didn't
do the research, but clearly he did so. I mean
he has like week by week plan of which cities
he's going to be in and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, you got the bullet training ship once you're there.
I think it was it even Japan or was a Korea.
We're doing free national flights for tourists to move you
city to city. Oh andest might have been Korea. Don't
quote me, but it might have been Japan because you
obviously want more tourism. And yeah, if it's if it's
within the country, they're like, I think literally free yeah,

(10:50):
shuttle service. And it makes sense, you know, because everyone
probably flies and goes to Tokyo and they want you
to spread spread some of the love. It's not a
bad concept.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
No, I don't know. Well of like the news in
our world, the IPF has backed off the leaves.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yes, interesting, I didn't read that. Yeah they are. They're
getting straight sued by Hansu. I know that for sure.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
So, like a lot of lawsuits work that way, right,
Like you start to ten toes down and the other
party's gonna make a decision quick because it's just gonna
cost everybody lawyer's fees. It's just gonna be a mess.
Like yeah, and then if there's a new president, like
they're probably not ready for that, right, they don't want
to like start their presidency in the IPF with a

(11:34):
big ass battle.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
So yeah, they're gonna be able to use the stiff
nie leaves from all the companies at least through the
end of next year.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, and then they'll reassessed. See. Even to me, it's
like bigger or more important, not like the stiff niste
les being not allowed or whatever, but it's more like
this money stuff that's kind of shady, h right, Like
I don't really care if you want to tighten the
or loosen the regulations on nie leaves or whatever. I
don't give a fuck, you know, if you want to
make them thicker, thinner, or just follow.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
I just still think they may make that much difference,
period of right.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Right, That's why I don't care either way. And as
long as it's fair across the world, I don't care.
But what it's not fair is when you start to
charge certain companies certain things and color ways, and that's
when it gets weird. Let's just like, let's just make
it black and white. If we're trying to be a
legitimate sport, that's like number one rules. We need strict lines.
And then and then stop the political bullshit. Whether you

(12:26):
know X sleeves or why sleeves are allowed, I could
care less, but just don't make them pay one hundred
g's to get in there, now, Yeah, that's like that
that should be the uproar rather than like, oh, my
sleeves are cheating, Like, okay, who gives a fuck about
your sleeves. Let's just not make this thing bullshit. Yeah

(12:54):
of course they did. Yeah, I'll bet Yeah, I mean
I bet. Yeah. That's literal definition of price couching. Yeah, which, like, yeah,
it's just weird.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
It's just basic behavior.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Again, if you guys want our takes on that way,
the whole episode on it. But it just makes no sense,
you know, it makes no sense to not have Nike
players in the NBA and Adidas players in the NBA,
you know, like, and I do think nie leaves are
kind of like shoes, Like a good pair of shoes
versus a bad pair of shoes makes a difference in basketball.
But there's no shoes that are going to turn you
into Jordan you know, and so I think sleeves are

(13:28):
very similar. A good pair is different than like a
ship pair, it is, but like there's very few even
that we talked about. We experimented with like Denham nie
leaves and they it still didn't like just add fifty
pounds to my shit. Yeah, you know, they just hurt
more like it's very Yeah, it's gonna be really hard
to do that because it's just one joint and you know,
the hips are just as important and that's why squad

(13:49):
suits do work. Right, Yeah, it's weird, but I'm glad
something happened, I guess, even though it had to be
kind of messy and law suit y.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
With all you know, with gear period, I mean, not
just new sleeves, just like you have to have something
that works for you, that you're comfortable with, it works
with your body or whatever, and you know, if if
it's done to one manufacturer, maybe it's not comfortable for you.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah yeah, true, Yeah, they only have one style right
still spd oh they have like a training one now
right yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, all of it's just weird.
Like I think what twenty four to thirty six inch
wrist wraps are still the limit, but like a forty
two inch christ wrap isn't having you mention more weight,

(14:33):
you know, Like it's all just no, and like, yeah,
you do need an end regulation, right, because otherwise someone's
going to wrap their whole body like a mummy. But
still it's just weird.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, but where's it. I mean, when it's that much longer,
where's it got? Right?

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Right? More pressure on your wrist is going to do
it and then you're gonna go up your forearm like
nothing's gonna happen. Yeah, it's all just kind of a
silly sport. And a lot of it probably is, and
hopefully I don't know who the new president is, but
a lot of it is because whoever's running the show
isn't a lifter, you know, so they're just making up
some random ass shit.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Well I think that they're just not. Actually my theory
is because it's an international organization, they feel like they
won't be culpable in other countries for for making these
these kind of changes, and it's like, well, we're not
in the same place, so you can't really assue me.
And it's like, well we can't see you. You sell here,
we can see you.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, shoulty. Oh well yeah, fractured as sport.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yeah, for sure, there's I did not get into it,
and I probably could have or should have, but I
did not that. There's a there's a post on the
powerlifting subreddit about how the us P us p A
lawsuit is exposing the w r PFS cover up an
involvement and their attempt to take lifters from the U

(15:53):
s p A. As us PA was blowing up.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
They're going to sue them over that.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
I know there is a lot. There is an ongoing lawsuit.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Still, it's the athletes.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
It's no, no, no about the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
It's it's the goog lawsuit. Yeah, more about the sexual assault. Yeah, yeah,
that we should sue on. I thought there was gonna
be suing on stealing client.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
No, no, that's just what's coming out. Yeah, who cares
from the Discovery round.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
I think that's gone on forever and then will go
on forever.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Cares.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yes, I'm orketing man like you gonna is Adieda is
gonna suit Nike because they ran a better ad campaign
to get runners out of Adidas. Yeah, you know, if
you're an organization and you're a competitive organization, you're gonna
try to get the consumer to buy your ship. It's
called marketing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and like and even if
there's money involved, I'm not against it either. If if
w RPF won to pay, go over to USPA and say, hey,

(16:43):
every USPA athlete that comes over here gets a free membership.
What do I care? I'm one hundred Like, that's a
call business man. If we're gonna leave it free, it's
gonna be free. The sexual assault stuff, yeah, that's let's
get them.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
That's a problem.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, who knows. Yeah, I don't even know what the
hell's going on with the USP. I haven't heard or
seen ship.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
I think think that. I think that their primary business
right now is just lawsuit. I don't know that how
much lifting is Yeah, I'm sure there's me going on
in different Yeah we googled, but I mean definitely less popular. Yeah,
it's I don't know why. I always say this, why
is powerlifting so fraught? And I think that the My

(17:22):
answer is often steroids, But I don't really know what that.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Yeah, it probably plays a role for sure, But then
we're talking IPF and they're just as fucked up to
I don't really know why you know, like I wonder
if it is that bad and like other super fringe sports,
you know, like is is disc golf this fucked up?
You know, yeah, because it seems like no, you know,
and like other real sports I've been and there's always
like weird shit. You know, even growing up, I knew

(17:46):
there was weird politics on like AAU teams. Like I
tried out for like multiple teams in SAC and I
was clearly one of the best players and I didn't
get picked because the coach is friends with this kid's
mom and you know, shit like that. Like I realized
that of stuff early. But like it's powerlifting is actually disfunctional,
Like it's so fucked up, and I don't really know why,

(18:08):
because then you would say, like, oh, well, because it
you know, it brings like the at least it used to.
For sure, it has changed, but it brings like the
fringe people, right, it brings the outcast. You know. We've
always said like it's the sport for everyone or like
everyone else.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Everyone else, everyone who didn't succeed in some other sports.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, really some people who did it, But like it's
gotten so popular and so diverse now it's not really
like that you have some normal ass people, you know
in our gym's a regular like verification of that, you
have some regular ass people getting into powerlifting. So I
literally don't know why it's so fucked up. But I
can't think of another niche that I've been in esports,

(18:48):
Not that I've been in it, but like I've paid
attention to it for ten fifteen years, Like, none of
them are as fucked up as our shit. And yeah,
there's gonna be random like sexual assaulty things everywhere, right,
Like there's pieces of shit everywhere, But like our it
is so bad. Every year there's like a full dysfunction. Yeah,
like every year there's something that just like implodes the
sport and like prevents it from growing. So I don't know. Yeah,

(19:10):
I guess it's just the people in charge. But the
same thing like bodybuilding that like ifp bodybuilding is a
bunch of freaks too, Yeah, and that's at least built
an organization. Again, I'm sure there's fucked up people. I'm
sure there's sexual assault and other weird shit going on
behind doors that either people know about or don't know about.
But at least the sport is moving forward. It's getting
bigger m H.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Strong Man has its problems too.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
For sure, but same thing right, Like it's on ESPN again,
Like it's growing, it's holding huge organizations. It's a real
sport like our shit. Still I wouldn't even call a
real sport anymore. Like it's just so we had like
three years of the usapl like starting to be real
and then powerlefl in America came out and then all that.
You know, every year there's some bullshit. Yeah, I don't

(19:53):
get it. Yeah, strong Man's clearly a bunch of fucking
freaks too.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
And it doesn't follow the pattern that you see in
other kinds of organizations and sports and whatever, where you
start to see a consolidation over time and yeah, with
the intention of of you know, making a more powerful
offering maybe you know, and a better negotiating standpoint toward

(20:21):
media coverage and whatever. Whatever.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Money we're yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Money, we're still seeing it just break apart, break apart,
and break apart.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah. I don't think it's It's gotten more popular in
the terms of how many people are in it, but
I don't see any more like legitimacy anywhere. Yeah, when
you think about it, like the IPF has been the
most legitimate and it still is and it still has
its corruptions. And then like for non tested you know,
WRPF had a little run with the current and other stuff,
but it's like the ghost Clash or whatever is like

(20:49):
still around, but it's not as big as it was.
Like none of them are none of them are like legit. Yeah,
you're right, I don't know. There's just like zero progress.
That's why it's hard to like, yeah, be all in
about it because can't grow with it. And now we yeah,
I mean you've been in it twenty years. I've been
in fifteen years, and it's literally feels the same, except
with better live streams. Like that's like the only upgrade,

(21:10):
Like that's it, liket better lights, Yeah, like that's it.
That's literally it.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, and and you know, we we've talked behind the
scenes about the fact we haven't scheduled to meet anytime
soon because it's getting hard to fill meats again. And
it was like crazy easy before.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah, well like well, yeah, what fed do you choose
if you go the natty route? Now there's three choices. Yeah,
if you go the untested route, I wouldn't even know
where to go. Yeah, like yeah, because like wrpss falling,
USPA's falling or some like Irish one. Yeah, I don't know.
Big Dogs was the thing. Yeah, there was like a
little run everyone has, like a three year run, you know.
The Big Dogs in Australia was a big meet and

(21:46):
people were flying out there. But yeah, I really don't
get it. I got no answers.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah, me either. All right, So once again, for the
third time in five years, we've got the world's strongest
man in town.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Is this our last year guaranteed?

Speaker 1 (22:04):
This is the last year guarantee? Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know when the announcement would come for any
kind of follow on contract here or where they're going
to be, because.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
That was the talk, right. I think it was three
guaranteed with like option yeah or something.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yeah, and they I think they had the same kind
of contract with there were what Charleston.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
South Carolina, Myrtle or somewhere.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, yeah, Myrtle Beach, I don't know, somewhere.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
In which seems like a good area too, that seems
like a solid spot. And Kyle, we're talking about this morning,
like old Sack is good for it? Where they're housting
at this time, because like the first ones I've watched,
I guess live or that were new or like Venice Beach,
they had to run there, you know, and like it
seemed cool as a spectator because you'd just be on
Venice Beach doing your thing and then you see these

(22:50):
giants running kegs on the beach and then a crowd
just kind of formed, you know, and like Old Sacks
kind of like that. I feel like like you might
not be a world strongest man guy, but if you
roll through Old Act on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, there's
like car shows and it's kind of like our only
real touristy spot, and there's just kind of people there,
and so I could feel like, hopefully this weekend you
get strongman fans, but then you also just get people

(23:12):
there going for a tattoo or a brunch or whatever,
and then they're gonna stop and check it out. So
it kind of makes sense. And then yeah, Myrtle or
Charleston or wherever the hell they were seems like a
similar spot to that too. Like you're probably going to
the beach or you're grabbing, you know, a sandwich at
the touristy spot and you just kind of find something new.
And that's what at least when I think of like
the branding of Strongman, the competition itself feels better that

(23:34):
way versus like an arena or some shit like too organized.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
And it seems like like visually exciting maybe to shoot
in other countries, yeah, but very logistically challenging, health wise challenging.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah. Yeah. All are friends that have competed in those
times said it was very fun. Yeah. They did South
Africa a lot, right, they did China a lot. Yeah,
And I get it it is a worldwide thing, but
like what eighty percent or from fucking North America and
the rest are from Europe. Yeah, yeah, Iceland so UK. Yeah, Yeah,

(24:13):
it's all like UK and fucking Iceland guys. So, I
mean it is what it is. Weather, Yeah, I mean
California kind of makes sense. Florida makes sense.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, and doing it there. It feels like they're doing
it a little bit earlier this year than the first year.
Maybe it's around the same time as this because I
didn't like maybe June and one.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Yeah, I might have been early June because it was
hot as fun and maybe that's why they moved it. Yeah,
they got kind of Lucky. It's supposed to be eighties
this weekend. Yeah, both times, I feel like in Sack
it was hot, but again, like if you're in a
hotel in between, Yeah, it's like eighties this weekend. They
hit the home run.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, it's not bad at all. I mean, these are
big guys, are gonna be sweating their asses off.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
But that's but it was like the complaints I heard about,
like China, they'll got like food poisoning, as humid as shit,
and they're just.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah, yeah, they're people had lingering health issues or died
after China.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yeah, you're doing some fucking alas stones and you shit yourself.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah, that's fun. So Will songus Man actually started in
nineteen developed in nineteen seventy seven by CBS So Good,
so always been a TV centered competition.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, if you have and do yourself a favor in YouTube,
Like the first five years they're just so good. It's
literally like early UFC. It's like, does the ninja beat
the fucking grappler beat the sumo wrestler? And that's what
it feels like. It literally is it's like Franco Colombo
versus the linebacker from the Steelers versus fucking plumber Joe

(25:48):
who happens to be Hella Strong and versus the guy
next door who rips the fucking Yellow Pages in half.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
The crazy thing. The color commentators for the first few
years Brent Musburger, Tom Brookshire and acknowledged strength authority and
journalist and author Terry Todd. Terry Todd, powerlifting world record
holder himself, went on to establish the HJ. Litcher Stark

(26:17):
Center for Physical Culture and Sport in nineteen ninety was
also asked to establish the strong Man Classic, the Arnold
Strongman Classic.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
And that's the rogue documentary we watched, right, Yeah, it
was Terry Todd. There's the fuck who is Tony Hinchcliff.
There's some comedian that makes a joke about when black
Eyes started to play, when Robinson came into baseball, and
before that, all white dudes spoke a certain way and
had the coolest names. And then he does like the

(26:46):
funniest impersonation and like Hu shunning sh mister Curly on
the third Max He's like and then black Eyes got
in the league and we just became dumb with dumbass
names and dumbass accents. Those reporter names sound like those guys.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Well, one of the going back to the beginning of
the conversation, one of they Shane Gillis, one of the
White Sox who had his lifetime band lifted. His first
name was Cozy.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
Yeah he did. You go look up the Shane Gillis
I think is Shane Gillis. Baseball thing is so funny,
rips off all these old school like dumbass nicknames. Yeah,
Cozy mcpeterson on third base like a hell tall color stupid.
So white guys haven't been cool since the forties.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Yeah, Bill Kasmire was his first one was seventy nine.
He ended up dominating eventually.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
And his original was what he played in the NFL, Right,
I think he had a year or two like Bill
Kasmar For those regular fans, Bill Kasmyer would almost be
like I don't want to say yeah, kind of like
a Joe Montana or like a Larry Bird where he's
definitely in the Greatest of All discussion, but he's kind

(28:01):
of the first generation of like greatest of all time,
you know, because a lot of people obviously put Brian
Shaw there, and put Channowski, and there's a bunch of
other strong men. You could say or whatever, Ready Hall.
But Kasmier was like obviously the first because I think
seventy nine. You know, the first couple of years it
was just outcasts and like strong dudes, and then it

(28:22):
became like strong men competed in strong men. But that's
why I really like the first couple of years because
it's one the stuff they do is just crazy. They're
literally like just like racing each other with a refrigerator. Yeah,
like shit like that.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Really really really nutty stuff.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah, Like they just literally bought a home depot and
like made an obstacle course, which I think is fucking cool.
And then two it's like none of them have trained
for it. They're all fit people and strong people, but
they don't know what they're doing right now. It's like
it's cool too because there's a mastery to it. But
now they're all they all know like the exact technique
to lift the fucking stone. You know, we're back. Yeah,

(29:00):
it's kind of fun when they're you know, you can
see like the problem solving and it is just pure
athleticism in its finest form. And not that the world
strongest man now is an athletic by any means, but
you know, they're so owned in and specialized to kind
of take some of the excitement out of it. Say
with the UFC. I mean, I'm a huge UFC fan now,
but going back then and you see like someone's never
been on their back grappling. He's only a kickboxer. Yeah,

(29:22):
but he's got to fight a grappler. Like there's something
kind of the mystery to it. But yeah, I think
Kasmier like had a little run in the league and
then I don't know why, but yeah, he turned full
strong man, which obviously I.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Can't find the football stuff other than maybe college only, yeah,
college only, Yeah, University of Wisconsin Madison. He dropped out
in nineteen seventy four.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Yeah, maybe no league. Maybe he just had tryouts or something.
But Mark Henry's a little bit after that.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah, but he.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Kind of comes into the conversation.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Kasmier competed what five times? He probably won them all
with it, No, third place in seventy nine, first in
eighty through eighty two, second and eighty eight, and fourth
in eighty nine.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Have you seen Bill Kasmar know what he looks like.
He's a tank. Some of these guys are just like insane. Yeah,
they just look sick. Yeah, they're just like fucking literal tanks.
Like obviously they're on a little bit of sauce, wants
to start to get into it, but they just look like, Yeah,
I guess what you think an NFL guy would look like,
because sometimes you can see a real O lineman in

(30:26):
person and you're like, eh, you know, just kind of
looked big. But like Kasmar and those guys just had
traps out the wazoo. Big. He's probably over six to two,
Like he's a big fuck.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Six two and a half.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Yeah, probably three bills when he was competing.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
He's yeah, his his because he was a pro wrestler
as well. He was according to his pro wrestling bio,
he was six' three so you, know rounded, Up.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Yeah for, sure he ain't gonna round.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Down uh, yeah, no who. DOES i saw a picture
of the other day of uh of one hundred pence
talking To Mike, ustrimsky AND i don't ever thought About
ustimsky as being a short, guy but he's like six
foot and he's, like you, know a buck eighty something,
whatever and Under pence is like six, three six,' four,
not heavy but he looks it looked like like a

(31:19):
full sized person and a.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Tiny, PERSON yeah i mean pro pro, athletes nowadays man are,
absolute freaks just specimens left. And right they just DID
the nba combines going On In, cooper flag, which is,
you know maybe the most typed college player in fucking. Twenty,
years nah, maybe not but in the conversation with his
zions And then, champs said he's like a seven, Foot
wingspan he's like, six six, he's eighteen he's. Still growing

(31:42):
he's like six six in the beginning of the season
six seven now two twenty, Six six like that's nineteen.
Years old a seven. Foot wingspan they're just fucking built.
In labs these are all just freaks.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Out there welcome To the. Eugenics.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Era Yeah the sanders kid just fucking dropped About the
browns just through like an eighty, yard bomb LIKE the
i think you threw it through like, they said an
unofficial longest bomb in the, air ever and kids fucking.
Twenty two, you know, you're like what the fuck's? Going,
on yeah, it's, stupid stupid same With. STRONG man, i
mean they're all just fucking specialized and specialized.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Freaks, everywhere YEAH so i thought it would be fun
and it might, actually suck and we might we may
be really terrible at this to pull up one Of
Several World strongest man quizzes that have been placed online
by people who, you know want to show off there information.
And intelligence so this one is on a Site, called

(32:42):
Sporkle which i've never heard. Of, before. Sporkle. Sporkle yeah
so question one is what is the smallest country to
have placed In The World's strongest man? Top ten and
our Options, Are, fiji Israel? Or Granada, is, well okay
let's say. It's real i'm getting an. Answer here.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
What was the? Last?

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Country nada you KNOW what? I mean?

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Is it what the fuck is That?

AMERICAN interesting i Believe It's.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
South america my geography is, all GOOD and i don't

Speaker 1 (33:45):
All? Right interesting which Five of african countries have coast
Have Hosted World? Strongest? Man?

OF where i start. TO lose, i mean you guess
like the, major's right you guess like a Like, A, Nigeria.
Ethiopia Soudan uh.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
So the answer seems To, Be, BOTSWANA mauritius I, Knew,
Mauritius Morocco, south africa you got, that Right And zambia
mauritius would.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
BE fire I heard mauritius. Is amazing i've heard. That,
Too yeah lisa's gone. A bunch it's like a tiny
island off the West Coast. North africa it's supposed to.
BE sick i Think, it's, french yeah Or was Frenchnch? Was,
french yeah it's supposed to, be sick. Tiny. Island yeah
same idea is that like you probably gotta get like
the most expensive airplane ever to. Get there and then they're,

(34:41):
they're like why why do you choose that logistically to
be a? Competition spot, you know it sounds like a,
terrible idea like sure on video, looks good but like
any island will.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
Look good the only answer to that question is a
legitimate answer in, my mind is if you're getting like, major,
concessions tax might whatever payment.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
To, be, yeah yeah they might give you they block
off the beach, for free or give you a hotel or.

Speaker 1 (35:03):

right yeah because the main one the as Long as,
I'm alive i'm a. Deadlift guy he's. Still, alive yeah
you can.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
SEE that i thought That was Magnus For, magnus.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Magnus and, you're right it's all. The same in, my
head they're all Fucking. Fucking vikings Welcome to.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
Bandwagon, fans yeah They're.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
All, vikings yeah They're. All, Vikings yeah Magnets found MAGNUS
and i met. That fool yeah you've, seen, That, right,
like uh that's Even with thors got tattered on, HIS shin.
I think but his famous quote, is like as Long as,
I'm alive I'm a i'm a Deadlift till i'm dead or.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
You're not you're. Not alive you can.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
Do, dead yeah you're not alive unless. You're deadlift, yeah
yeah just like and he said in, a fat, You know.
Viking accent but he was a, bad man like he
has to have like five. Six championships he was like
Early strong.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
Man days uh in what event is an object with
a handle carried suspended between? The? Legs, oh yeah?

Speaker 2 (42:56):
The stairs, well no this.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Is there all have all. The answers i've walked. In them,
chaplains walk cake walk or duck.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Walk DUCK walk, i think but it used to it's
called the power stairs normally how they, do it, but
yeah like a loaded carry between your, LEGS now i
think because BECAUSE like, i said like old strong was
so cool because there's like a hundred things that may,
pop up and they're often, really themed, you know like
they did one In like iceland and then you're pulling
like a boat up a mountain with, a rope, you
know because they had boats back then like known, for seafaring,

(43:28):
et cetera. Et cetera where now like it's almost more because,
it specializes almost. More standardized SO like i even saw.
The list, you know it's the, dead lift which, is
cool It's the, atlas stone which is, like iconic, you
know but it's not LIKE and i guess they did.
Do it didn't they do a? TRAIN thing i think they,
did it, probably train which is, like cool but you
KNOW what, I mean like it's just, so themed and

(43:49):
they're so variety that they would like really cook stuff
up out.

That? Too Uh Is? Drenas, civicus yeah you Know.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
Z avicus that's a bad, MAMMAGEMA too I, Mean, avic
yeah It's. A vicus i think people still kind of
give Him the, jordan title like he's the, greatest potentially
Right ham, shaw PROBABLY but i Think the vikas is
kind of what and it's kind of probably. Like that
it's Probably like shaw's kind of Like the lebron And
the vikas is kind of Like, the jordan and it's

(45:39):
kind of like who's who's, The Greatest and i'm pretty
Sure z thevicas is kind of.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
That dude Twenty Nineteen champion martin's leases competed FOR. The
usa but what country was he?

Speaker 2 (45:51):
Born, in yeah He's Not, south african? Is He he's
uh do we got to do at? A.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
List, Yeah hungary Finland. OR latvia i.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
Think, He's, Lotvia yah lotvian's got a lot of strong,
motherfuckers too, BECAUSE yeah i think He's in la and ship.
He did he just, HAD injuries, i, think right he
was kind of supposed to be the. Next, UP yeah
i think he was supposed to be the next, you
KNOW because i don't think we've had. A guy i
don't think there's anything back to back Winners Since, BRIAN.

Speaker 1 (46:16):
No i don't.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
THINK so i think it's all which is cool, For,
competitiveness YEAH but I think, i Think uh martinez was
kind of supposed to be the guy but had, Some, pains,
like yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
Back to backs are actually kind.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Of, boring yeah it. Can be it, can be, for
sure but then it also makes the competitiveness of like, Next,
up yeah it's it's kind of you want the same
faces around. For SURE like i looked at the roster
and there's a bunch of, new faces which is, great
too but then you want like this group to be
around for the next. Five years you need the. Rival,
handoffs yeah that's why the basketball playoffs are so good,

(46:52):
right now because it's all like the epic. Ass teams,
you know you Got the indiana which is good in,
The Nineties new york good in. The nineties like you
kind of have, a yeah the city rivalries and. These
rivalries but there's too. Much turnover and that's been an issue,
with powerlifting, You, know yeah because injuries or boredom, or
whatever you just have a lot.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
OF turnover i actually there's a Strong er bran science
article that came out today about injuries, and powerlifting, and
actually injuries and powerlifting are much lower than like pretty
much any.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
OTHER sport i think it's by like overall, data, Though
right so if you took like the top, one, hundred
yeah then, you right it's.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
Because those are the people pushing the.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
Biggest, waves yeah they're probably considering like anyone who benched
deadlifts and squats. In there, and yeah it is the
safest besides, like walking like it's safer and running. For
sure but if you, took yeah not only the, steroids
involved but really, Pushing, yourself.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Yeah it gets a. Little weird this One's a gimme
twenty eighteen winner Half thorpe jornsen played a character IN
which Tv Program.

zevikas looks more like what you think a strong man.
Looks Like and puchcinowski looks like a. Bad manmajama yeah he. Looks,

Speaker 1 (50:20):
Looks like he is a bodybuilder who developed a.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
Bad, attitude yeah more like A w. W, wrestler, yeah
bro that fight you should you should watch. The clip,
It's crazy. It's crazy those guys. Are, nuts well we've
looked around, all right we got LIKE A B yeah
i think we, did okay not. Too, bad yeah Because
like i'm Into strong man and a lot of guys
we've obviously we've interviewed some of the best strength people

(50:46):
in the world. All time i'd say like ninety percent
of those dudes where either were like Inspired. By strongman,
you know like a lot of the people we spoke,
to SAY oh i got, into powerlifting or lifting weights,
in general because a strong man see The like Arnold
and may if it's a, younger dude or Like strong man, and,
none none none of those three ever like motivated me by.

(51:07):
Any means But strong man. WAS cool i mean it always.
Was cool it wasn't like A thing i'd look forward
to or like followed. Or Watched but i'm, telling you
you go watch like the nineteen, seventy seven seventy, eight
competitions and they are really fun. To watch it feels
like just like a. Cool vlog it's not over. Like
produced it's a bunch, of RANDOS like, i Said Like franco.
COLOMBO versus i literally think it's like a linebacker From,

(51:29):
The steelers, like yeah it's, Really COOL so i suggest
you guys can. Do that and then they still need
to figure out way to do it, live though because
it is weird Film, in, may right and then like
everyone knows the results because there's gonna be leaks, and
snapchats and then it comes Out. In december it's not even.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
Leaks anymore they just actually.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
Announce, it yeah because BEFORE like i tell you, Not,
to yeah it was, just out, so yeah they tell
you like try not to because they're trying to hold
it for eight months to in the tradition of Being
on christmas or whatever's cool.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
And don't imagine it takes a fair amount, of editing
but it.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Can't be that much man like editors like someb us
whipping out fucking sicker videos in that in a day and,
a half, you know like they got to figure, it
out what their budget or just do. IT live i
mean they've done. CrossFit live it's not. That, DIFFERENT.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
Yeah i think you have to do it's, a stream
you have to do on a stream.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
Or, whatever yeah and, there's gaps RIGHT they i think
they could beat a like ten and five.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
Every day, it's yeah a little bit more Like the olympics.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
Or, whatever yeah, except yeah no gaps. In between and Even, the,
olympics right they have those long ass just like random
talking sessions to. Bake time so you couldn't really do that. Personality,
packages yeah but what if, they did like An Amateur
World's strongest man at the, same, Time right, and yeah
so the big guys go at ten and then the
up and comers maybe it's sub twenty five years old

(52:47):
or some shit goes at eleven. Or twelve and then
you could film the whole thing and then the big
guys come. Back out it's just a place keeper. OR
women i don't think there's. A woman, I mean i'm sure,
there is like A Women's, strongest man BECAUSE there's i
think two main fed and, strong men and most of
those go on like on their own in like. A warehouse,
but yeah just find a way to kind of mix,

(53:08):
it up or do a powerlifting competition, in between or
even if it's circus fucking, you know crazy lifts OR
like I think arnold does it sometimes the last day
they'll do just like. Record breakers, yeah right they'll just
have someone come break. A, record yeah, you know it's
just the overhead log or it's just the, you know
heaviest one hand grip or. Something like maybe do those

(53:29):
in between and you could get a real live. Stream kicking,
but yeah waiting eight months to kind of watch it
is kind, of, silly agreed kind.
