Housekiping!

WEBVTT

1
00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:11.560
All right, all right, ladies
and gentlemen. What do they say,

2
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:18.399
we have paperwork to do or admin? Yeah, there's some term I can't

3
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.600
think of. God damn it,
dude, wrong with my brain stresses beating

4
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:27.199
me up. What do they say? They say, we got a well,

5
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:31.199
welcome to the show. They say, we have yeah, not agenda.

6
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:36.039
Housekeeping, Yeah, maybe housekeeping,
housekeeper the housekeeping. All right,

7
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:40.880
we got the housekeeping nerds. Buckle
down. By the time you're hearing this,

8
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:47.759
If it's Wednesday, the first of
November twenty twenty three, and it's

9
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:56.240
ten oh one specific standard time,
we are live with our second USAPL meet

10
00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.479
here at Third Street, barboll.
We got a big competition planned from March

11
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.079
sixteenth and seventeenth. If you want
to get involved, I would click on

12
00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:07.840
that USAPL shit real quick, because
by the vibe we're getting, it's probably

13
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.319
gonna sell out. If you're not
wanting to compete, put it in your

14
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.040
freaking calendar. It's probably near spring
break. I don't know if we've planned

15
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.439
that, but I don't know.
It's probably spring break typically lands middle of

16
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:23.439
March, and it's also probably March
madness, and so it would be a

17
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.599
beautiful time to VACA out here in
Sacramento, California. So if you want

18
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:32.159
to come have a good time,
see what powerlifting has kind of turned into

19
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:36.480
in terms of the environment, the
community, and you want to tap back

20
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:38.799
in or just have a good time
yourself, come watch some big lifts.

21
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:44.079
March sixteenth and seventeenth, twenty twenty
four, twenty ten, Third Street,

22
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.359
Third Street, Barbell, Sacramento,
California. Then if you want to compete,

23
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:51.319

primetime planned. So I believe ladies

27
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:07.840
all that flight wise. So all
this is on lifting Cast. Yeah yeah,

67
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.000
Christmas in six weeks or something,
I guess, yeah, probably right,

68
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.639
seven weeks. That's something like that. Crazy. It's amazing. The end

69
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:48.319
of the year is always kind of
just a slide to the finish, just

70
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:54.000
like like like you're you're holding on
for you know, dear life, trying

71
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.920
to not get sucked into the end
of the year. And it happens anyway.

72
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.920
Yeah, moves fast, it really
does. October hits and then it's

73
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:02.600
off to the races. But that's
what we got. There's all the housekeeping.

74
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.120
Dude, go rewind that. Listen
to it again. Take notes.

75
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:11.000
Yeah. One thing I do want
to shout out at this point is our

76
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:15.839
good friend Eric Helms is now a
professional natural bodybuilder. He has pro card

77
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:23.439
up in Washington. I think I
cannot think of a more deserving guy just

78
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:30.240
by his general character what and then
obviously there's the there's the physique that had

79
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:35.399
to be judged for him to actually
win. I just shout out to him,

80
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:40.879
congratulations. Yeah, Eric, Helmes
doctor doctor Helms one of the top

81
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.120
of the lists when I talk about
in the industry, when you when you

82
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.319
talk about experience as an athlete,
experience as a coach, and then experience

83
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.279
as an academic. He's got to
be, you know, top three all

84
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.800
time, all time in that list. So saw a huge congress to him

85
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:58.000
and also a big recommendation to go
follow and learn from him. And three

86
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.040
DMJ and all the markets over there. Yep. Yeah, a lot of

87
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.199
fitness things happening. We had the
American Pro a lot of people smashing weights

88
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:10.160
over there. Brandy in particular,
I think six forty one, yep,

89
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.800
was the record the heaviest lady deadlift
of all freaking time. And I think

90
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:18.680
she did a wig in seventy three
kilos something like that. Ye actulutely insane

91
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.319
clean pool. I watched her multiple
times. I think I saw her squat

92
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.639
and bench live. I don't think
I caught the deadlift live, but I

93
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:32.000
watched all the clips obviously, And
I literally just saw her three days before

94
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.160
she left. I just saw her
and Joe at at Dragons there in Vegas,

95
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:42.680
and they seem good. She seems
stoked, she seemed excited, I

96
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.000
think she I don't want to spoil
it. I'm sure she talked about it.

97
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.040
She can come beat me up she
wants. I think she had pulled

98
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.800
like six twenty six thirty the week
before that. Oh, and then I

99
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:51.680
was asking him. I was like, oh, like, how you feeling,

100
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:57.399
and Joe's telling me he's you know, he dropped out and that be

101
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.279
just fucking smashed. Like six twenty
or six thirty. Was like, all

102
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.160
right, then she's probably set up
for a pretty good day. That's an

103
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.160
amazing number. Yeah, it's a
big deadlifte man. That's a big deadlift

104
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:12.279
almost any body weight, definitely you
know female category, but even at that

105
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.879
body weight in the male category,
you start getting the six hundreds. That's

106
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:19.079
fucking strong. Yeah, that's legitimately
strong. Yeah. If if a dude

107
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:25.079
pulled that strong as seventy three kilos
ah light weight dude, we'd go wow.

108
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:26.879
Yeah, I don't know what.
I don't know if we have anyone

109
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.839
in our gin pulling that at that
little of a body weight. There's also,

110
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.439
I mean the six hundred mark in
powerlifting, I think strong woman.

111
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:38.560
I don't even know what you call
that. Still women's strong man, strong

112
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:42.319
woman. I thought it was women's
strong man. I don't know. I

113
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.879
think in divisions that's how they call
it. I don't really care, but

114
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:46.800
I think that's pulled six hundred for
a little while. Yeah, but I

115
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.720
don't think in powerlifting, because it
might have been with straps or in a

116
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.600
suit or yeah or whatever. And
this was in a big old elephant barn.

117
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.800
Shit, this is like powerlifting competition
condition. Yeah. I think even

118
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.519
the six hundred marker only got broken
and within like the last three years.

119
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.079
I forgot her name. I'm sorry. I apologize. She was on Ellen.

120
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.839
She did like a little Hollywood tour
afterwards for paulling six hundred. It's

121
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:11.759
crazy. So now we're already in
the six you know, forties is fucking

122
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.000
wild. Seven hundred probably dropped in
the next five years, that's so crazy.

123
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.680
Yeah, probably her Hunter Henderson,
somebody. I mean, there's a

124
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.680
bunch of freaks and they're still a
youngish you know. I don't know Brandon's

125
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:24.160
age, but I think she's like
twenty six, twenty seven. It's not

126
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.279
like and she trains hard. Obviously
she's IVV pro on top of it.

127
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.480
So yeah, in the last few
months, yeah, yeah, she had

128
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.440
just started bodybuilding with the last two
years. But I think there's a very

129
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.320
high ceiling if they can continue to
enjoy themselves. Yeah, that's kind of

130
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.240
what it comes down to. If
you're not enjoying yourself, it's gonna be

131
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:45.879
a rough go. But if they're
having fun, a lot of strong folks

132
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:50.799
stomping around. Yeah, the just
the whole you know, bounce back from

133
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:58.840
from the dieting associated with bodybuilding.
That's for the mental Yeah, yeah,

134
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.000
because you're not really having it all
season per se. You know, off

135
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.440
season powerlifting's super easy and fun,
right, you're not caring about your weight

136
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.960
class. You're going to buffets and
you're just doing wraps and kind of crushing

137
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.679
weights. But if you hop straight
into bodybuilding, you know, bodybuilding process

138
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.159
is twenty four to seven, so
you're dieting, which is added stress the

139
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:20.039
amount of steps and cardio you're getting
done. I think Dan Griggs, uh,

140
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.399
try to smash ten sixty on a
deadlift. I saw that attempt.

141
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.000
Yeah, I think you got called
for updown, but you know, in

142
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:31.559
the general gravity battle, he fucking
won really clean. Besides, you know,

143
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.120
a little baby updown, but it
just gets so hard, you know,

144
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.159
I haven't pulled anything close to one
thousand pounds. But anywhere you get

145
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.720
with the deadlift bar and up down
is just like so normal. The bar

146
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.159
is fucking oscillating like crazy, so
you get ten sixty on there and kind

147
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:48.799
of a whitish stance. Your hands
are all narrow. That bar is obviously

148
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.159
gonna whip around, be riding a
fucking roller coaster on his way up.

149
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.759
But congress to him on a pretty
good day, I'm sure you obviously wanted

150
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.200
to pull that. John Hack had
a good day, I think, yeah,

151
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.360
which is kind of the norm.
It's kind of very rare to see

152
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.159
him not have a good day,
and even his bad day is still better

153
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.759
than everyone's good day, so it
doesn't even matter anymore. Twenty one at

154
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.919
ninety kilos, Yeah, I don't
know if that's his best ever. I

155
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.639
don't know. I think he might
have broke twenty three. I might be

156
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.799
wrong. There's so many numbers,
as so many strong ass folks, I

157
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:20.720
can't even keep up anymore. And
then there's the whole you know, like

158
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.440
pro circuit that was happening I think
with the USPA, but then that obviously

159
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.679
failed. Because I haven't seen as
much, I don't know what to categorize

160
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.480
it now, ladies, And I
guess the untested world this year has felt

161
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:35.919
a little quieter, and I think
it's obviously because of the USPA stuff,

162
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.639
Like USBA the year before was running
the pro circuit and so there's meats every

163
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.480
quarter that were really big and all
these people with John Hacks competing three four

164
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.200
times a year, so you'd see
these big names out, but the American

165
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.200
Pro I think's kind of on a
lonely island. Not that there's not other,

166
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.320
you know, good or qualified meats, but not as many as big.

167
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.720
So I don't think the untested world, I mean, all of it's

168
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.200
in shambles, you know. If
I felt like I was starting to lock

169
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.840
in a little bit, and then
now fucking powerful in america's off in the

170
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.639
left field. USAPL doesn't know what
they're doing. They're doing something huge at

171
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:07.879
the Olympia. It's international. It
was supposed to be their huge international day,

172
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.360
and then I don't think they could
sell enough spots because then they're like,

173
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:15.799
well we'll take other lifters now too, and then so now it's just

174
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:20.519
I think it is cool that the
USAPL is at the Olympia. I don't

175
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.519
know if this is the first year, but it used to be a USPAPA

176
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.759
and then' same for those that don't
know, the arnold wasn't USAPL for majority

177
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.559
of the time. You know,
that's a new ish concept. It was

178
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:39.080
always what x U XPC and it
was off site. Wasn't it on site

179
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.320
back in the day? And then
no, I think it's only been on

180
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.919
site sort of on site the last
couple of years. Before that, way

181
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:48.919
back it was the WPO. Maybe
WPO is what I was thinking. Yeah,

182
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.720
that was on site. Yeah,
and then it wasn't even USAPL until

183
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.039
maybe the mid twenty tens. And
then now obviously it's a decent sized USAPL

184
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.919
and those meats were fun. We
went to that, but yeah, I

185
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.919
mean, I don't know why those
don't just become the new big meats.

186
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.399
The arm up's kind of been,
I think because people have fun there,

187
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.279
but there's no real incentive to make
it a big meat obviously nationals, but

188
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.639
even that, if you don't start
to like clean shit up and choose some

189
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.919
fun cities, it probably won't be
a reason to go either. You know,

190
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.440
Like the qualifying totals have gotten a
little more difficult, so there's there's

191
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.840
a little bit of a badge to
qualify for that, which is cool,

192
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.279
but you know, it's just a
fucking cattle farm. You're moving a thousand

193
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:31.000
lifters through three days. I don't
know, And maybe that's just me being

194
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.240
over it. You know, if
you're young and got Bambi eyes for this

195
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:37.320
whole thing, you're excited for anything. But I just feel like, yeah,

196
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:39.279
I just feel like you gotta fucking
make something. There's gotta be a

197
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:43.240
reason to get big lifters to go
somewhere. Yeah, you know, and

198
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.320
I say that as we're running army, but I already just saw the amount

199
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.279
of reposts we got fucking three hundred
reposts or something on just a baby announcement

200
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.840
two days before our meat like before
the meat open. So yeah, yeah,

201
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:56.559
yeah, we're eight months out still. But like money is one big

202
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.240
thing, but like just like little
attention in details, just having fun,

203
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:03.759
you know, like why would you
want to go to you know, I've

204
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:05.759
already probably talks to you about,
like, yeah, why are you trying

205
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.679
to go to Memphis Nationals? Yeah? And then I did hear some people

206
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:13.200
didn't like Vegas, which was kind
of weird. Twitch Con was just in

207
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.240
Vegas. And I saw some stuff
that they didn't like that either. I'm

208
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.399
like, well, like why not? And obviously I'm biased to Vegas,

209
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:24.480
but but San Diego makes sense.
Even La makes some sense. If you're

210
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.080
trying to get people nationally to go
somewhere for an event, you need something

211
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.720
for them to do the other days, Like, what the fuck are you

212
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:35.000
Gonn doing Memphis? I know it
has like some music back You're like,

213
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.799
yeah, music, but I just
heard it's not that nice. It's not

214
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:39.759
in a good shape of a city. I literally think it's the myrtle capital

215
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.840
of the nation right now. He
might be I don't know, I can't

216
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.120
remember find that, but yeah,
like it for sure top five. Yeah,

217
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.279
so like why are we going there? You know, Orlando makes sense,

218
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.679
and the Olympia makes sense, and
the Arnold makes sense. But then

219
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.200
those are just kind of regular meets
in it's you know, where is the

220
00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:01.279
Olympia this year? Is at Orlando? I heard Partially, I think there's

221
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.120
just too many events in Vegas.
Twitch Con was huge, and then Formula

222
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.879
one. Oh, Formula one thing
is a big deal. I don't know,

223
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:13.519
giant. I was walking around there
and like they're obviously building it's all

224
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.320
all in Las Vegas Boulevard, right, so they're gonna be ripping through the

225
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.639
strip like a video game. And
then the the stands and vip that they're

226
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.399
building, they are movable, you
know, they are gonna break down,

227
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:28.120
but they look they're fucking structures.
Yeah, you know, it's insane.

228
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.759
And the race run is like in
the middle of the night that I don't

229
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.200
know, but yeah, I don't. Yeah, it's not. It's not

230
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.559
during the day, Yeah, I
don't doubt it. Yeah, it's it's

231
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.080
I think like one o'clock in the
morning or somewhere. I mean, just

232
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.759
the logistics on running an event,
because we've looked at shutting down roads here

233
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:46.000
in California and shit for events like
yeah, in Las Vegas Bulevard. Despite

234
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:50.840
all the money Formula one as Yeah, maybe the only way they could do

235
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:52.639
it was that night maybe, right, because I mean think of how many

236
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.320
casinos they'll make some money, right, because people are gonna obviously fly in

237
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:01.360
from fucking all around the world.
Like Formula one, I don't know about

238
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.799
other than like soccer, I don't
know it more. Formula one's very international.

239
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:07.559
Yeah, I don't know another worldwide
sports. But obviously soccer is the

240
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.879
biggest sport in the entire planet,
but then Formula one might be the second

241
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:16.120
most international type sports or just like
auto racing in general. So they're obviously

242
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.320
gonna make some money on the back
end of that because you're getting fucking billionaires

243
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.879
flying in. But to get the
entire strip in every hotel probably to agree

244
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:28.000
to shut that bitch down. Yeah, it makes sense that it might have

245
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.279
to be at night in Vegas weather. I mean, they actually would be

246
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.279
pretty cold. It's kind of like
here, it's like cold at night.

247
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:35.960
Yeah, it's like fifties. I
mean the strip's a little warmer. But

248
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.240
yeah, car racing, who is
a shit. But as a fan,

249
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.000
some of them are just bleachers.
I got a picture like in front of

250
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.320
the Bolagio where they do the little
dancing waterfall. You know, there's just

251
00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:52.360
stands, just like regular kind of
football stands, and they look pretty structured.

252
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:56.279
And then next to that are like
these like a better term like a

253
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.519
VIP booth, and it's just like
a strip of indoor kind of looking like

254
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:04.399
a green house like kind of deals. Yeah, off on like poles,

255
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:07.759
so you're a little bit elevated off
the strip. It will be interesting.

256
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.360
I know nothing about Formula one,
but I just kind of like big live

257
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.679
events and shit, it's like running
a helicopter or a jet on the ground.

258
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:21.159
That's yeah. Yeah, yeah,
So this meant I think they already

259
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:25.120
changed it or whatever, but people
are driving on it, like the roads

260
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.879
weren't closed. So I assume maybe
they'll do another layer and shut it down

261
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:30.279
for a week. I don't know
how that works either, if youde imagine

262
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.519
that's highly important when you're flying two
hundred miles per hour. Yeah, just

263
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:38.440
listening to a park car podcast,
I just know that they are essentially running

264
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:44.000
like yeah, rocket ships right at
one o'clock in the morning or whatever,

265
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:47.480
like overnight. Yeah, that's interesting. That's kind of cool. That's kind

266
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:49.080
of vegacy too, whether it is
a money thing or not. Right,

267
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:52.360
Like you go to a fancy dinner
at nine, grab a couple of drinkscamble,

268
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.360
and then you get to your seat
at midnight to be kind of a

269
00:16:55.399 --> 00:17:00.679
fun night. Yeah. I was
listening to Matt Ferris's podcast and like he

270
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:06.079
was offered a lap time before the
race and then it was at like midnight

271
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.960
to one. Yeah, I do
it, and then it would just be

272
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:14.119
fun like poll time was one o'clock
on Mourners. Yeah, that is interesting

273
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:18.839
and it's just one race or do
they do like qualifying thrifying and they do

274
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.440
heats? I think because I know
literally nothing. I don't know anything at

275
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:23.720
all. I tried to watch that
show. I just couldn't get as caught

276
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:27.960
up as other people did. We
watched full swing version of it, but

277
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.799
there's a Formula one version. Oh
yeah, yeah, yeah, because that's

278
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:36.200
like obviously it's been a giant sport
worldwide, but I know in America,

279
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:40.440
I don't think it was untill after
that show that there was even races here.

280
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:44.000
There was like maybe one in Florida, and then that show popped off

281
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:45.359
here and now there's been like two
in Texas, one in Vegas, and

282
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:52.000
one in Florida. Like it obviously
added to the audience and the love for

283
00:17:52.079 --> 00:18:02.160
it here in America, which is
crazy. Yeah. Uh. I was

284
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:07.279
looking around at other things that people
are talking about in the world of powerlifting.

285
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.559
One of them you're talking about the
USBA and having you know, try

286
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:18.000
to go into pro series direction and
all that. Now now they are dropping

287
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:22.799
their approved equipment list, which I
believe to be the biggest scam in powerlifting

288
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:25.920
period. Yeah, in general,
you mean in general, Yes, it

289
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:33.359
is a weird thing if you have
rules for measurements and all that fun and

290
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.440
dandy. But yeah, you start
to get a paid approve list, I

291
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:40.720
doubt it, But I wonder what
that looks like at like high level sports.

292
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:45.759
Like there's obviously a contract between Wilson
or Spaulding and the NBA each year

293
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.319
for what the official NBA ball is. But that's like a whole different business

294
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.559
thing, right, that's more like
marketing and whatever. Like, Yeah,

295
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:56.400
I doubt Nike has to pay something
for Nike shoes to be allowed in the

296
00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:00.839
league. Right, Probably not?
And like, is there a sport that

297
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:07.039
now that professional athletes can't just wear
whatever foot where they want or whether they're

298
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.480
signed with or what. Yeah,
I don't think. So there's still colorway

299
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:17.319
rules. Maybe in the MLB,
No, they just got maybe the NFL.

300
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:21.200
There's I think maybe the NFL.
Then there's definitely a league that there's

301
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:23.440
still colorway rules, which are that
I'm fine with, Like, I understand

302
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:26.640
I understand why in the nineties,
like you had to wear the same shoe

303
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.240
color as your jersey, Like that's
fine, but I don't think it's ever

304
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:36.960
been an equipment manufacturing issue. Yeah, you've see it now in Major League

305
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:41.759
Baseball. You see guys wearing like
the bright green or whatever, and they're

306
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:47.279
they're like they've got wrist cuffs and
their shoes match, but nothing the matches.

307
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:48.880
They're here for them, but they
don't give a fuck. Yeah,

308
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.079
it's very NBA. Yeah, and
like at least even baseball makes the least

309
00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:56.000
amount of sense to have that rule, like basketball shoes, it still doesn't

310
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.240
make sense. But hypothetically we wear
jerseys so I don't pass the wrong team

311
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.319
the ball and shit like that ain't
happening in shirts and skins. Yeah,

312
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.279
yeah, yeah, yeah, you
don't ever need shirts and skins of baseball

313
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.640
because you're either batting or you're not
right exactly, it's offense or defense and

314
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:14.160
there's no combination of that. And
then like the tradition of it, I

315
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:15.559
wouldn't mind, you know, like
if if that's a thing, and that's

316
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.920
probably what it was in the NBA, like to have some kind of you

317
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:22.440
know, official uniform, and I
get that, but yeah, I highly

318
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:27.599
doubt. But in powerlifting is just
it's a money grab because then each federation

319
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:30.039
was doing their own thing right,
because then we have so many federations,

320
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.759
in particular USPA and IPF. I
don't I don't think the WRPF has one

321
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.559
and having an approved list. I
mean even the USA people to wear a

322
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:40.400
T shirt with the logo you're getting
back, you know, like yeah,

323
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:45.079
they're act like I don't understand.
If they want it to grow, why

324
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:49.079
don't they take pieces that work from
other sports? Yeah, like college that

325
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:52.079
wasn't like college of basketball wasn't a
thing. The only thing is like if

326
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:57.200
you wear anything, you know,
like sweatman's or like shirts under your jersey,

327
00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:00.880
like it has to match your jersey. And that again goes back to

328
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.160
like, yeah, I'm passing along
by the ball. So if we're wearing

329
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:04.960
home jerseys, we're wearing white jerseys. You can't wear a black shirt.

330
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:08.480
You're not supposed to wear like black
sweat bands and shit, and you'd wear

331
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:12.759
white until you wear the away jersey. But yeah, there's no like money

332
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:18.000
grabs going everywhere. Like why isn't
the USAPL and IPF Because they want to

333
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:19.240
go to the Olympics and they want
to be a legitimate sport and they want

334
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:22.240
to be all these things and then
I think we even talked about the media,

335
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:25.680
Like, I don't know what a
media pass looks like in the NBA,

336
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:29.480
but there's a hundred at the Lakers
Kings game the other night. There's

337
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:34.319
one hundred photographers from one hundred different
websites, publications, companies, Nike.

338
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:37.920
Everyone gets their own guy and they
probably have to pay a little thing to

339
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.839
get in or whatever. But there's
literally the USAPL situations where you're not allowed

340
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:45.000
to take photos. Yeah, like, how has that ever been good for

341
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.720
a sport? Especially USAPL? That
was I mean, we could probably whip

342
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.799
out the data to file this in
court, but like one hundred percent grew

343
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.319
because of social media. Oh yeah, plue you know what I mean.

344
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:59.359
You look at the Candidos and the
omar esofs and the bark Onwans like that.

345
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:02.279
That's literally group powerlifting in the early
twenty tens, you know, like

346
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:07.440
especially the USAPL powerlifting in general,
you know benefit obviously from podcasts and hopefully

347
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.519
some work we did and whatever,
but the USAPL particular was literally just shouted

348
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.079
out over and over by Johnny Candido. Yeah you know, it's the house

349
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:18.319
that Johnny built. Yeah, and
then now you're gonna say like, yeah,

350
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.720
let's probably not have any media besides
our own media, Like what the

351
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:26.200
fuck. It's just so weird.
It's just such backwards thinking to me.

352
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:30.039
No, I agree, and it's
like there isn't a quality argument at all.

353
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:37.119
There's a control argument around contracting with
vendors. Yeah yeah, yeah,

354
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.640
So it's funny, you know,
like like photography video vendors. Sure,

355
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:44.640
yeah, it's just a T shirt
on a platform. Just blows my mind.

356
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:47.640
That really blows. Even at a
local meat it's technically a rule which

357
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:51.720
blows my freaking mind. Man,
Like, I've never heard of such a

358
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:55.160
thing. It's same thing with Spandi's
underwear. If you're wearing I heard they

359
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:57.680
might have taken that out. Just
well it if they took it out,

360
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:00.880
it existed for very very long time
before they took it out. No forever,

361
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:06.480
yeah, literally thirty years. Just
the thought that some spandex in your

362
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:11.480
underwear was somehow supportive, well,
especially now that like these neie sleeves are

363
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.240
getting the fucking upscene. You know, you're throwing a pizza cement on your

364
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.519
knees and you're gonna be worried about
the type of underwear I got on and

365
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:23.599
it too all you little fucks out
there that hate on like geared powerlifting and

366
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:27.359
og shit. Yet you're buying a
new pair of sleeves a month, trying

367
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:30.079
to get the stiffest leave in the
market. Yeah, like, you're so

368
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:34.519
backwards man, and mister specificity,
you want to compete with kilo plates in

369
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:38.039
the perfect Ohio power bar and then
you got a sticky shirt on and you're

370
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:42.400
throwing rubber bands on your bench.
You guys are fucking idiots. You're so

371
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:47.160
backwards in your thinking. You had
one of my biggest pet peeves I found

372
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:48.200
out, you know, because that's
always a question like what your pepp It's

373
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:52.079
just literal like being illogical, And
I know you can't really hate on someone

374
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:55.880
for that because sometimes you know,
I'm sure I've made mistakes or said things

375
00:23:55.880 --> 00:24:00.799
that are illogical, but like just
pure like hypocrisy within like how you move

376
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:03.960
is so annoying. And that's a
lot of powerlifting. They're throwing bands on

377
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:07.920
every bench ever, and then they
won't bench with anything other than kilos because

378
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:11.759
of specificity. You're like, what
the fuck are you talking about? Weight?

379
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:17.440
Is weight? I don't understand.
I don't understand the kilo fascinating fascination.

380
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:21.400
I know that. I know for
deadlift it makes the difference a little

381
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:26.559
bit in terms of leveraging any stuff
off the floor. But that's even squats,

382
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:29.359
you know, if you're in the
six seven hundreds or bench if you're

383
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:32.240
in the four five hundred. Sure, but the amount of people that are

384
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:36.079
doing that, and then again you're
wearing equipment. What's wrong with making the

385
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:41.359
lifts harder in training as opposed to
I don't know. I think harder than

386
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:42.920
there'll be on the platform. I
think with the deadlift of pound plate would

387
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:47.119
be easier, right, because you're
gonna get more whip. Oh, I

388
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:49.440
think that. I don't know.
I think that the kilo plate's easier because

389
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:53.519
the weight isn't distributed so far out
on the bar. I don't know.

390
00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:57.640
I've always found more whip the wider
the bar, and typically more whips can

391
00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:02.319
be a little easier. Yeah,
may be very individual as well. For

392
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:10.240
for newer lifters who don't don't have
experience with kilo plates going into a meat,

393
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:14.960
they tend to overperform because they don't
they can't clock the amount that's on

394
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:18.119
the Yeah, the bar actually most
of it for me, I don't care.

395
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:19.559
If you want to be mistress specificity, that's great, but then like

396
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:23.079
you just have to hold that standard. And why are you throwing bands on

397
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:26.720
a bar? You can't throw bands
on a bench. And during other times,

398
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:30.400
why are you chalking weird ship where
you're wearing weird shirts? And why

399
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:34.440
are you're doing all your down sets
with straps? Yeah, I want to

400
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:38.200
draw a distinction between what we're talking
about right now and a thing that drives

401
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:42.759
me crazy. Currently we're we're just
talking about the fact that it's probably not

402
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:48.920
that important, uh yeah, to
do these things. It doesn't it doesn't

403
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:56.359
really benefit you, So why are
you hung up on it? Whereas I

404
00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:04.640
was watching a video the other day
some nutrition person caring on about how organic

405
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:08.759
isn't better for you. It's like, well, why do you care if

406
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:12.759
other people buy organic? Like it
doesn't Where are you anti organic? Yeah?

407
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:17.960
Why are you anti organic? It's
like, if there's there's any potential

408
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:25.079
benefit, if only this. Often
organic farms, like actual organic farms,

409
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:30.599
not you know, not mainstream organic, you know, labeled stuff. There's

410
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:34.440
small farmers, there's small farms,
like support your small local farmer. And

411
00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:37.759
if you yeah, and if you
can't afford the dollar more or whatever,

412
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:41.000
then just don't talk about it.
Who cares? Yeah, yeah exactly,

413
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:48.400
like I like, really it's it's
young yucking for attention. On social media,

414
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:49.279
there's a lot of weird shit like
that. Like there's a lot of

415
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:53.039
hate on like frozen vegetables, but
it's been like proven frozen vegetables are actually

416
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:56.559
like maybe second best option you got. Yeah, you know what I mean,

417
00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:00.680
because they're cheapest. Shit, I
get a pound of it because I

418
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:03.599
hate a pound of edgies a day. Yeah, and it's a dollar yeah,

419
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.720
like and then and then I travel
so much. If I buy like

420
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:11.240
I buy it for like five days
at a time. If I buy broccoli

421
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:12.839
for five days a time, it's
gonna go bad. It's kind not gonna

422
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:17.160
be good about uh. To go
back on our old guy rants, uh,

423
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:18.960
shout out with my friend Lindsay.
She has a bunch of old guy

424
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:21.920
rants on her Instagram story, which
is funny, so like she just too.

425
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:23.839
One is a meme from I don't
know who this guy is. I

426
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:26.759
hate shutting up people in case they
fucking suck, but I'll shout them out,

427
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:29.920
you know what I mean, Like, because I'm only seeing one post

428
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:32.200
from him, like if he's a
total piece of shit, I don't know,

429
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:34.759
Uncle Nick. You might be fine. It's Uncle Nick the super heavyweight.

430
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:37.559
It might be something we know.
Who's Uncle Nick? Do I know

431
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.880
you, buddy? No, I
think he's Oh he's a lifter, but

432
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:44.920
he's also like a meme page,
it says the young lifters today may not

433
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:48.039
think much of my generation a lifter, but in the dark era of the

434
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:52.759
sport, from the death of the
original WPO to the post CrossFit Raw explosion,

435
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:56.240
it was us who kept the sport
alive while it was basically hanging out

436
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.240
by a thread. So there's something
for you all to discover. And then

437
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.559
her next post said, there's an
entire generation out there, which is true.

438
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:06.160
There's a lot of people in our
fucking gym too, and I yell

439
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:08.000
at them. There's an entire generation
of lifters out there who don't even know

440
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:11.720
who Dan Green or Ed Cone is, which is true and kind of christis

441
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:15.799
yeah, yeah, And that was
kind of it for her Rant. Yeah,

442
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:18.440
I think that was it. Yeah, Oh, that's kind of weird.

443
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:23.160
But I do think that's just a
new generational thing, where like I've

444
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:27.079
seen interviews of youngish guys in the
NBA like kind of talking shit on like

445
00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:30.839
the Larry Birds and Magic Johnson and
stuff, which just blows my mind,

446
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.359
you know, like even if it
is true, oh, Larry Bird,

447
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.519
like couldn't keep on in today's league
or whatever, Like one will never know,

448
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:42.759
right because you can't magically get nineteen
eighty four perfect shape Larry in today's

449
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:45.559
right, Like you just can't make
that happen. But then two, like

450
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:49.359
it makes no sense to compare generations
because literally you're not here without Larry,

451
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:52.200
right, you know what I mean? And so like same idea for me,

452
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:57.599
I've just always been into the history
of like music, like Lil Wayne's

453
00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:00.200
one of my favorite artists of all
time, really got into a little way,

454
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:03.039
and you know, in like junior
high. So then I start to

455
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:06.319
like creep back like who he was
inspired by, and then what his music

456
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:07.880
came by, and then who he
listened to, and same with lifting.

457
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:11.559
Obviously it was a little bit more
built into what I did. But like

458
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:14.759
I've told the story a couple of
times. Before even joining Super Training,

459
00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:17.440
I knew they trained west Side,
I didn't really know much about it,

460
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:21.839
so I bought all like three of
Louis's biggest books. Read them all before

461
00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:23.839
I joined, you know, like
just like little things, and I think

462
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:26.960
it kind of comes it does,
and maybe the new generation doesn't see it

463
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:30.920
that way, but for me,
it does come down or like respecting history,

464
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:33.880
respecting yourself, and then like respecting
the sport, like you want to

465
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:37.920
be you want to be a powerlifter
so bad, but then you don't want

466
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:41.400
to even put in like an ounce
of effort to like care you know,

467
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:47.319
music close same thing, like anything
you do if you truly like love it

468
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:48.480
or you truly want to be a
part of the community. I feel like

469
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:52.359
you owe it to yourself and the
community to kind of have some history.

470
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:56.480
And those two names are like no
brainers. I understand, you know,

471
00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:00.279
like I don't know every NBA player
ever, but I know a fuck shit

472
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:04.119
ton, Like I used to watch
ESPN Classic crazy but like Dan Green ed

473
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:07.960
Cone should probably be near the top
of the fucking list. Or Spoto's when

474
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:11.119
I always joke about I was joking
out with Joe Sullivan Brandy when we talk

475
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:14.319
about him, like, dude,
every kid in our gym's doing a Spoto

476
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:15.720
press. They don't even who the
fux photo is. Yeah, it's just

477
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:18.400
a name, that's wild. Yeah. But the thing is that he's not

478
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:22.319
from the forties, right, you
know what I mean, it's not the

479
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:25.480
Arnold Palmer. No, if you
say Arnold Palmer and a kid says,

480
00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:26.480
oh, I like lemonade, all
right, I get it. But I

481
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:30.160
win an Arnold Palmer a golf like
the fifties. Yeah, right, so

482
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:34.079
I understand that that's almost one hundred
years ago, right, Yeah. Eric

483
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:38.799
Spoto broke the record in twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, probably both fourteen.

484
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:42.480
Yeah, that's less than ten years
ago. Less than ten years ago,

485
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:47.680
you know, or laws and presses. Yeah, yeah, Actually I was.

486
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:49.960
I was on another podcast the other
day and we're talking about Spoto and

487
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:52.880
people don't understand what happened with Bodo. Like what happened is Photo. It's

488
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:57.400
like you guys don't know that.
Like he was able to break that record

489
00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:03.240
because he was able to stay healthy, yeah for long enough his shoulders or

490
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:07.240
whatever. Well, he wasn't health
healthy and crazy young. Yeah, No,

491
00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:10.960
he was just a big mother.
He could argue now like all right,

492
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:14.200
well where's carill? Right, Like
he didn't break the record that long

493
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:15.720
ago, but like that's just how
it goes. That's how powerlifting goes.

494
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:18.440
You're not gonna have a twenty year
career, I mean, even any sport.

495
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:22.200
Right. That's why, like people
aren't even like recognizing, they're just

496
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:25.960
now recognizing how crazy Lebron is.
You know, Well, twenty years of

497
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:29.160
dominance isn't a thing in powerlifting,
ed cone. That's why he's the greatest

498
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:30.279
fall time, right, because he
probably had a good ten fifteen years of

499
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:36.160
dominance. Yeah, different weight classes, yeahah. He retired in what two

500
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:40.279
thousand and seven is white technically,
Yeah, I think that was that was

501
00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:42.720
his last meeting. So I think
he's smashing weight since the eighties. Yeah,

502
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:48.039
exactly, exactly, And I think, I mean the alternate approach is

503
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:51.759
somebody like Jen Thompson who basically chips
her records. Yeah, you know,

504
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:53.440
just chips them. And that's another
one. Yeah. I mean you could

505
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:56.839
argue she's the greatest powerlift for of
all time potentially because you know, her

506
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:01.279
just consistency near the top for the
longest. That's the argument I guess now

507
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:07.720
against Jordan Lebron, Like Jordan probably
had more condensed success, Yeah, but

508
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:13.319
twenty years of whooping ass at the
highest yeah, pretty fucking remarkable. He's

509
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:15.079
gonna wind down at some point,
right, I don't know. Now there's

510
00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:19.759
a teaser I think about the Nike
commercial his wife's doing like a voiceover,

511
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:22.759
because the whole thing he's said publicly
is that he wants to play with the

512
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:27.240
son Brownie. Well, now it
turns out his younger son's probably better.

513
00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:30.599
Uh, and his younger son is
going to be a sophomore junior. So

514
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:32.079
now the rumor is like, all
right, he might want to stick around

515
00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:36.720
to play with his youngest son.
Yeah, we'll play with both, which

516
00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:38.240
is crazy. I mean, shout
out the Brownie. Hopefully. Brownie's already

517
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:40.279
had a you know, some heart
issues in the beginning of the season.

518
00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:43.720
I don't know if he gets to
play this season, but I think he

519
00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:46.039
had surgery and has been cleared.
That's crazy to see at eighteen. But

520
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:51.079
because he's good, I mean,
he got a full right to USC obviously

521
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:53.680
having the last name James helps.
But he is good. But the younger

522
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:58.559
brother's fucking crazy good. That would
be that's gotta be a first, right,

523
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:02.000
father and two sons on the same
team, even a father son on

524
00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:05.519
the same team. Did the Griffi's
play together for a second. The griff

525
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:09.680
he's played I think very short together
and that was probably it. Yeah,

526
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:14.119
Ken Junior is in a commercial right
now for something. I can't remember what

527
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:17.319
it is. That's but he's he
is, He's not fat, he is

528
00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:22.559
big. Yeah. I saw he
is so much bigger than his playing days,

529
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:23.440
which yeah, I mean he was
into the gym. He was a

530
00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:27.680
freak when he was, oh you
mean jacked. Yeah, because I saw

531
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:30.319
his face a little while ago and
it looked kind of chunky. I wonder

532
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:32.119
if he's got some steroid action maybe, yeah, maybe because he was.

533
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:36.039
He was a freak when he played, Like for a baseball player, yeah,

534
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:38.039
obviously the Mark maguire and all them
kind of changed what a baseball player

535
00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:40.880
looks like. But he was.
He was just a freak athlete, you

536
00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:44.440
know. He using. They used
to have a I wish they brought it

537
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:46.559
back. There's probably just not enough. I think it was All Star weeknd

538
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:50.640
A the NBA. They would have
other sports come to a dunk contest and

539
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:53.079
Ken Griffy was in it. I
think Dean Sanders maybe maybe even like Jerry

540
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:58.039
Rice. Uh and Ken Griffy's crazy. You know, he's tall but not

541
00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:00.680
NBA tall, he's six three,
six four, but his dunks were nuts.

542
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:04.720
Like he's just a freak athlete.
I think I said before that,

543
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:09.360
like in the eighties there was a
group of forty nine ers who had a

544
00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:14.960
basketball team that would play oh shits
and gigs. Yeah, that's fun like

545
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:20.800
off season exhibitionee, but not exactly
right. They were they were competitive,

546
00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:23.800
they were intending to get competitive.
They were those big men ye playing basketball.

547
00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:28.519
There's a I think it's the Browns, Cleveland Brown's preseason. They had

548
00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:32.079
like a shitty Walmart hoop on the
football field and they're having the guys like

549
00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:37.559
do it dunk contest. But Miles
Garrett arguably the best defensive player in the

550
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:40.119
NFL. He was sneak into some
summer league games he played at the Cavs,

551
00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:45.239
like allowed him to play like a
summer league game if you're freaky enough,

552
00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:46.000
you know. And a lot of
those guys grew up playing both,

553
00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:51.440
you know. Randy Moss played high
school basketball with Jason Williams, the famous

554
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:57.159
point guards. So like there's definitely
crossover places guys that play Lebron the easiest

555
00:34:57.159 --> 00:34:59.519
one, you know, I think
Ohio State. I gave him a full

556
00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:02.519
ride play tight end. Yeah,
that doesn't just happen. Yeah, And

557
00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:09.559
I think the expectation that a professional
athlete's sons will follow them and be as

558
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:16.679
potentially as good as a really damning
thing. But like, yeah, like

559
00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:24.599
Barry Bonds is Bobby Bond's not oldest
son. There's there's Bobby juniors. Yeah,

560
00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:29.039
and Ken Griffith junior is known as
a better player yeah than his dad.

561
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:32.639
Yeah, because like Steph Curry obviously
is like game changing, and Dell

562
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:37.880
Curry was very good, but Steph
Curry's clearly better. And then Seth Curry

563
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:39.800
made the league too, which is
kind of rare. Double brothers plus a

564
00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:44.400
dad even that you can probably count
on one hand how many times that happened.

565
00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:47.199
And nothing's guaranteed with the James brothers
because then politics does play a small

566
00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:51.559
role, like whether they're good enough
or not. That's always been the biggest

567
00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:55.360
nag, you know, Like Jordan's
kids weren't that good, Scotty's Pippins kid

568
00:35:55.599 --> 00:36:00.880
just got released from the Lakers but
is obviously holding his own, And there's

569
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:07.679
all the names now are like the
generation I grewing up watching kids like Kenyan

570
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:14.280
Martin's kids, either in the league. Shacks kids had some hard issues too,

571
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:15.639
but I think made a little run
at it. Maybe he's playing in

572
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:22.280
Europe now, but obviously the pressure
of Lebron's kids is immense. Yeah,

573
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:24.800
I would imagine. So, yeah, you think it's like, this is

574
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:29.920
someone who's in contention for the greatest
of all time and social media era is

575
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:31.639
just different. You know, the
Jordan's and shit didn't have to fuck with

576
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:38.519
that. It would be interesting to
see history rewritten with the social media pressures

577
00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:42.199
because it's twenty four to seven.
You know, unless you played in LA

578
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:45.239
in the eighties and nineties, it's
not like you could probably play in Indiana

579
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:51.159
Pacers and live life normally, right, because you go to the grocery store,

580
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:53.280
they're only going to be fans.
It's not everyone. Basketball wasn't as

581
00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:57.440
popular, and they're probably gonna be
nice to you. Like there's nowhere you

582
00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:00.440
can go as a celebrity now.
Yeah, you know, I think that's

583
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:04.079
true. Yeah, you're fuck like
back then, it was literally just paparazzi

584
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:07.559
in LA probably maybe New York.
You don't have to be that biggest celebrity,

585
00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:12.599
no no, no, yeah,
yeah to be uncomfortably recognized it'd be

586
00:37:12.639 --> 00:37:15.159
barkwon. Yeah. Yeah, you
have any kind of level of success and

587
00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:19.280
you get recognized everywhere. It's crazy. It is a weird world. Yeah.

588
00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:27.159
When we were in Vegas last year
with bart for USAPL Nationals last year,

589
00:37:27.599 --> 00:37:30.280
We're walking through your casino and like
the bartender recognizes him, a very

590
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:36.119
random bartender, and like the lobby. Yeah it is weird. It is

591
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:39.800
weird. We get free drink out
of it. So true. Yeah,

592
00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:44.039
yeah, it is a much different
era, even like what Jordan had to

593
00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:45.440
deal with. You know, yeah, probably could live in the suburbs of

594
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:50.000
Chicago, probably get away with going
to the grocery store, you know,

595
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:55.800
probably sneak around now fucked, I
think that. I mean there are actors

596
00:37:55.800 --> 00:38:00.400
who are relatively well known and go
to the grocery store in LA But if

597
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:02.880
they were going to the grocery store, yeah, or airport, yeah,

598
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:06.880
yeah, more common shit. Yeah, because you can. You can seclude

599
00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:09.760
yourself and live by other celebrities,
right right, you all live in Calabasas.

600
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:13.599
You're only gonna see other celebrities at
the grocery store and probably don't get

601
00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:16.599
bothered. Yeah sure, but imagine
Yeah, most places you're gonna get screwed

602
00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:20.880
man. Social media is a whole
different animal, even being a kid,

603
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:23.440
you know, being Brownie Lebron James
kids probably getting hounded everywhere he goes,

604
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:28.039
pictures, autographs. He's probably gonna
have security. I mean all the streamers

605
00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:30.480
I watch and shit, they're all
moving around with security now because you just

606
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:34.280
never know what's gonna happen. Very
one, violence, obviously and actually being

607
00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:38.000
secure. But two, it's just
like moving through crowds and situations. Yeah,

608
00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:42.199
and never forbid that you should be
on the wrong side of somebody's politics,

609
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:44.880
right or anything? Yeah, yeah, or anything. Who knows.

610
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:46.960
I knows what you say online that
pisses off the wrong guy in I heard

611
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:52.599
there that Mitt Romney spends five thousand
dollars a day on personal security for himself

612
00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:58.239
and his family, separate from whatever
whatever the Senate provides. I believe it.

613
00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:00.639
I highly believe it. Yeah,
because not a life I want.
