SPEAKER_03 0:04

Hey, what the hell happened? It was supposed to be a countdown. There was no countdown. This is fucking bullshit. Alright. Anyway, okay. I'm back. I gotta text Lee Priest. Alright, he should be coming. Alright. I'm back. For about a week off. I was in the Bahamas for my birthday. Which was my birthday gift from my wife, which was a very, very, very nice gift. And oh and look who showed up. It's fucking Lee Priest. We're back. We're back. You were in Germany, and I was in uh I was in the Bahamas.

SPEAKER_01 0:52

Yeah, how was that? Nice.

SPEAKER_03 0:56

Yeah, you know what though? I gotta say, um, it was beautiful, right? You know, it was my birthday gift for my wife. It was a beautiful place. I'll tell you by the third day, I was like, how much sitting by the pool and drinking and doing nothing can I do? Which holy shit. And and here's the here's the worst part. Fucking they have a casino there, obviously, right? So I like to gamble. Like I'm not fucking, you know, Frank Rosenthal or anything, but you know, I fuck around with it, whatever. Bro, this they just take your money, like this, they're not even trying.

SPEAKER_01 1:30

They're not taking it, you're giving it to them.

SPEAKER_03 1:32

Yeah, like they're not even pretending that you're gonna win.

SPEAKER_01 1:36

Not not even giving a little back to try attemption.

SPEAKER_03 1:40

I I like to play roulette, and the reason why I like to play roulette is because it you it's the worst odds, but when you hit, you hit pretty good, right? So I I wait, I played roulette Friday night and I played roulette uh Saturday night. I did not hit one number, not one, not one number. Yeah, and then my and then my my wife likes to play the slot machines. Nothing, like nothing. And you know when you're in a casino when you usually peep people by the craps table and you hear people yelling and screaming, or you hear like a uh a fucking you hear uh what do you call you hear what do you call it, like a slot machine?

SPEAKER_01 2:17

Yeah, just dinging all the time. Ding ding ding ding ding ding. It was like walking through a ghost town.

SPEAKER_02 2:22

It was fucking awful.

SPEAKER_01 2:24

That's their reverse psychology because sometimes they'll give you a win to keep you going. This place gives you enough yeah, speaker, I'm gonna win something, I'm not fucking leaving.

SPEAKER_03 2:33

At least yeah, it jerked me off a little bit, right?

SPEAKER_01 2:35

Something, right? I think using the reverse psychology because your ego's gonna keep you there now to win something.

SPEAKER_03 2:41

I know, unbelievable. Anyway, before we get to that and and Germany, I got a couple of quick announcements. The first thing is uh my friend Louie, who is right here, hot accord. Uh, he designed this shirt for me. So these are my new shirts. So if you guys want one, you hit me up on Instagram. If you want to get a shirt made by Louie, his Instagram is in my uh description, so you could just go and go to his Instagram, and his information is there. The other thing is I hate to be uh the bearer of bad news, but uh I'm actually uh I'm actually thinking of uh starting an OnlyFans, uh OnlyFans, listen to me. Jesus Christ. Listen to where my head is.

SPEAKER_01 3:21

That is that is bad news. You might have you might have you might have more of we might have more of a chance with my idea at maker wish than fucking let me start over.

SPEAKER_02 3:37

I'm not starting an OnlyFans.

SPEAKER_01 3:38

Do you want me to start a GoFundMe for your chemotherapy? Go fund me.

SPEAKER_03 3:42

That's that's like I'm actually thinking of I'm actually thinking of uh yes, it was a Freudian slip. I'm actually thinking of starting a GoFundMe for Jason Owens. He went through he just today he went through his third back um yeah, uh third back uh uh what this one wasn't a surgery, it was uh the they had to cement his they had to cement part of his part of his back.

SPEAKER_01 4:10

Doesn't matter anytime they go in the uh back, it's like sad, but like I said, James Kahn, that's what pretty much ended him because they fucked up his back so much, and then he could barely walk on oxygen, and that that was yeah. I'm surprised Ronnie's fucking still even moving how many shut up. I know it's the ambulance going by. Thank you.

SPEAKER_03 4:32

Oh, they're howling. So uh yeah, I'm actually thinking of starting a GoFundMe forum because I mean this is he went in today and speak quiet. Thank you. Okay, sorry, man. He went in today and they actually had to inject, they didn't have to open them up this time, but they had to go in and inject cement in the spots that are damaged and cracked in his vertebrae. Uh uh, so and there's other shit going on too. So he's not in a in a good way. He can't even his immune system is so bad that he can't see his kids, they have to like stay away from him in the house and whatnot. So uh I think I might uh gotta look into Z and start a GoFundMe. So until then, go to iPrave Subs. Link is in the description. Use the discount code, like just buy anything. I mean, he he's got hats and shirts, and you know, I was looking at the creatine, the creatine's$30, just something just to support him a little bit, you know what I mean? Use the discount code SNS10. But anyway, all right. So that's that. The other thing, uh, before we get on to uh bodybuilding topics in Germany, like my new Popeye shirt. Oh, very cool, cool. Young LA, very nice, very nice.

SPEAKER_01 5:45

Do you have any other Popeye ones you didn't send me? And they sent me a couple, so actually they got they got a new drop happening on uh the 30th. They sent me a box of clothes, and sometimes I'm not sure. Should I just post their pictures or because sometimes to put all the clothes on and take them off to take photos is hard work, you know.

SPEAKER_03 6:05

Yeah, I know, I know, I know.

SPEAKER_01 6:07

And that's my biggest pet hate is trying clothes on.

SPEAKER_03 6:11

I you know, you know what? Yeah, all right. Look, one last announcement, and then we'll get into it. Uh, because I hate that shit too, right? Um uh oh on my uh old channel, I went back to mob guys, bikers, porno stars, because and ever since I did that, it just skyrocketed.

SPEAKER_01 6:27

Like it went to I saw that popping up on there. So yeah, the baby girls were popping up again.

SPEAKER_03 6:33

Yeah, I was trying, I was trying to take it into a very respectful no dude, nobody was watching it. Nobody was watching it. So this Thursday, I will be recording a uh uh video, an interview with uh his name is Pee Wee Goldberg or Charlie Goldberg. He is the former uh uh president of the Las Vegas chapter of the Hells Angels. Uh so he will be coming on. He was on once before, and you know, now he's he's been out. He was in jail for a little while. He's been out. They call him Pee-wee because he's six foot eight and four hundred pounds. Yeah, so yeah, and um, so that should be pretty interesting. So go over to serious outcasts. All right. Anyway, um, okay. So the Bahamas was fun. I'm glad to be back, to be honest with you. Uh they I mean it was a beautiful it's a it was a beautiful vacation. Uh, but if you go to Baja Mar in the Bahamas, like basically take a second mortgage out on your house because it was it was nine dollars for a Gatorade. It was insane. Every time I bought two drinks, it was$45,$55,$45,$55. I'm like, oh my god, it's fucking insane.

SPEAKER_01 7:50

Go find the bottle shop.

SPEAKER_03 7:52

Yeah, it's fucking insane. Um, but anyway, how was Germany?

SPEAKER_01 7:57

It was good. FIBO, the expo was busy, but just a long way to go. You know, I was there for almost seven days, and then I get home and it's just got a bit sick, you know. Always sometimes get sick from the plane, like even this I now still watery and runny nose and that sort of crap. So I think yesterday was yesterday, yeah. I was I took three days off the gym because I was feeling shit. Yesterday I went to the gym. Today I went to the gym. I'll go to the gym again tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday. Then Friday I'm off again to Mexico City.

SPEAKER_04 8:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:32

Oh God, what the hell is a Mexico City?

SPEAKER_01 8:35

Uh some contest thing, and that I gotta appear at seminar, and then I fly home. I get home next Wednesday, which is the sixth, and then on the 13th, I gotta fly to Italy, and then I'll be there two weeks. Yeah, and I'll be back home for seven days, and then I fly to Nashville.

SPEAKER_03 8:55

Oh my god. Well, the good news is I'll be meeting up at Nashville. I booked that yesterday.

SPEAKER_01 9:00

Yes, that's still the worst part is I was like, I'm I'm away longer than I'm at home, so that like come almost the week when the week's coming up, I'm just starting to feel comfortable at home again that it's time to go. I'm like, oh shit.

SPEAKER_03 9:13

I don't know how you do it because that you know, from Australia is like you literally pick the front, you might as well live in Antarctica, like really.

SPEAKER_01 9:20

It's just down the road. I should just move down there. Oh shit. That's why I said, you know, Xavier lives in Tasmania, that's a little island part of Australia, and we have New Zealand. And what I said to Sid, you sure there's no gyms or promoters in Tasmania or New Zealand I can go to? And then now my friend in England, when I get back from America, that's that'll be near the end of June. July, in the beginning of July, I almost uh Rachel, I could be going to California for a couple of days for my birthday with Kathy and Scott, but then I get home. I get home on the six. No, I get home on the eight from that, and then on the 17th of July to the 31st, I could be doing a UK tour for two weeks with Giles again. But the good news is I have nothing in August.

SPEAKER_03 10:07

Oh, that's good. At least you get to stay home in August.

SPEAKER_01 10:10

Yeah, my dogs might my dogs might learn to recognize me again in my chats.

SPEAKER_03 10:16

Uh Nashville, June 5th to the 7th. It's actually the 5th and 6th. It's a Friday and Saturday. There was a music fitness expo um at the Nashville Fairgrounds.

SPEAKER_01 10:27

So that's what we have a bodybuilding show combined with.

SPEAKER_03 10:31

Yeah, they have an amateur bodybuilding show, they have an amateur uh strongman. I was looking it all up. They have a bunch of stuff going on.

SPEAKER_01 10:37

Brian Shaw would be there, Jay Kupper will be there, Larry Wheels will be there.

SPEAKER_03 10:42

Oh, my favorite. Um okay. Germany. Before we get into the Arnold fucking Brazil, Jesus Christ. Uh Germany.

SPEAKER_01 10:56

So the you told me that the expo was bigger than the actual, but now this what I noticed this time, uh, there's so many halls. I mean, like the equipment's over in hall number fucking six. We're in hall number ten, like it's almost like a city block or more, big blocks to walk, the whole thing. So I only went into one hall, mine 11 and 10. That's where I went into.

SPEAKER_04 11:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 11:18

And then that was it. But I did notice this year the hall we were in, there was a lot more space in between the boost. So, you know, sometimes you go and they're all crammed in right near each other. It just seemed a bit more spaced out a bit, but there's still a ton of people there and stuff like that. And like I said, I only saw not even a tenth of it because I'm just like, you know, you can't really walk around to have a look because people want to take photos, which I don't mind, but it just makes walking 10, yeah, 12 pools a long process.

SPEAKER_03 11:47

But how was it being in the how was it being in Germany Svetzel?

SPEAKER_01 11:52

It was very good. Very good. Went down to the cologne where the old one of the oldest cathedrals in the world is. That's when I put up that post. I said it was embarrassing watching these skinny bodybuilders all strip down and take photos in front of the nice to see you, Franz. Oh it's just like the general public and tourists walking past, like you people are taking photos with their clothes on, but they're actually taking their shirts off, posing in front of this. Well, I don't know whatever you call it. I wouldn't know if you know, people say it's probably rude to do it in front of the temple of God, whatever, but that doesn't bother me. I just think it looks dumb to do in front of the general public who already think we're fucking dickheads. You got these guys doing twisting Arnold shots. Nearly all of them were like this. There was no real rule like bodybuilders doing it, just like the look for the Instagram. And then I was watching one of them, he was looking at his photo five or six times till he got the right one. I'm just watching them going, Holy shit, that's embarrassing.

SPEAKER_03 12:54

Well, are they high school kids?

SPEAKER_01 12:55

I mean, I could see if they were high school kids, but probably I'd say anywhere from 18 to mid-20s and some older.

SPEAKER_03 13:02

All right, I could all right. I could let it full shirt off.

SPEAKER_01 13:04

Full shirts off like you're doing a posing routine in front of the computer.

SPEAKER_03 13:09

Well, if I used to, when I used to go to the gym when I was a kid, there was uh Ferrigno's gym. That was the first gym I ever went to. Lou Ferrigno owned the gym in Brooklyn and Staten Island, and uh it was the first gym I ever went to. And um, my mother used to yell at me if I wore a tank top, even if it was the summertime. Yeah, because she never did. She would say I would look stupid, then I'm trying to show off.

unknown 13:28

I'm like, thanks.

SPEAKER_01 13:29

I think when I was 13, I wore a tank top, and then as soon as I started to gain muscle, I covered up. And I'd only wear a tank top for a photo shoot. I'd never train anyone at World Gym or Gold or anywhere.

SPEAKER_03 13:41

Now when I'm older, I train uh I mean I wear clothes according to the weather. That's what I do. If it's really hot, yeah, I'll wear a tank top or a sleeveless shirt and shorts. If it's cold, I'm wearing a sweatshirt. That's go figure.

SPEAKER_01 13:56

I can't, I don't get why some gyms now, even some of the ones I go in, like at Anytime Fitness or some of those other ones, they like they actually take their shirts off and look at themselves while they're training. I just like you got your shirt off. I want it just seems unhygienic, but you just again, you look like a tool.

SPEAKER_03 14:15

Yeah, you do. You look like an asshole. You know, you're the equivalent to the girl that looks at her ass in the mirror all day in the in the gym. You know what I mean? You're equivalent to that. I always try to scarry all of them. Yeah, exactly. I always tried never to do that shit. I always tried never to fucking never to do that. But all right. So Germany had a very weak lineup, Saserati easily takes her in, right? Um, like, and then we go to the Arnold Brazil, and I mean I don't want to shit on LeAnjo's a decent bodybuilder, don't you? Everybody after that, I mean, I couldn't believe nobody well like the guy that got second was in good condition too, wasn't he? Yeah, but uh, did you see what the guy in second's back looked like? Like he had no back, dude. I'll pull up the I'll pull up the pics, but why wouldn't Brandau do this show? I mean, it's it's in his country, he's two weeks before the the New York he's doing New York. I I you know you could have gotten qualification.

SPEAKER_01 15:15

I remember the Arnold Brazil used to get a few big names in years ago, but just like it's still got the Arnold title. I know even Dexter won the Arnold Brazil, it's still an Arnold classic title.

SPEAKER_03 15:28

I don't know what's going on. I think these these guys want to go after the big money, which is fine, I get it, but don't you want the qualification too? Not everybody's gonna win the Pittsburgh in New York. I mean, Brandau could have easily picked up the win in Brazil and then went on to do New York and and uh and Pittsburgh.

SPEAKER_01 15:46

Just even the titles, too. Just you know, you could be having you know, winning so many pro shows still. It's like, you know, it's like to me, there'd be more, you know, the money's nice, but you know, if you love competing and you're good at it, you know, get all those wins. Like, how many wins did Dex end up having?

SPEAKER_03 16:01

Oh god, I who the I mean it was unbelievable how many wins he fucking had. Let me see if I could pull up this guy's uh back shots because it was really his his guy's second place back shots were really bad, man.

SPEAKER_01 16:12

Like and call blessing, blessing got third. Everybody thought that was his show.

SPEAKER_03 16:19

They thought that was his show to win, but he I don't his legs and his waist, his legs and his waist just if he couldn't take um let me see if uh okay, here we go. This is the guy who came a second. If he couldn't take this show, I don't know what he's gonna do. And it's it really is like a fucking sin because the guy is like got a great personality. You can tell he you can tell he tries real hard, right? You could tell he's fucking he tries real hard. Of course, there's no back shots on this fucking post, you know, because he doesn't put any back shots. But um, let me see if I can find another one. But uh I don't know what and I I you know I like I'm a fan of um blessing because he's got a good personality and he's you know he but uh his body just doesn't it's just not cover, it's just not cutting it. I don't know what do you think is going on, or do you think it's just it's just the way his muscles lie in his body?

SPEAKER_01 17:14

I think it's just it looks more like a conditioning, just keeps missing it somehow. His legs look somebody not full enough or too full and smoothed out, or yeah, it's like he's gotta find that right mixture of fullness, but with the condition, so seems like it's over one extreme to the other. He hasn't found that middle ground yet.

SPEAKER_03 17:34

Yeah, I mean fuck.

SPEAKER_01 17:36

Um a few shows he's come close and look good, but you know, it would have seen would have been good to see him do. But I think he's doing a couple more shows, isn't he?

SPEAKER_03 17:44

He is, and I gotta give him credit for it because he is competing, he's doing New York, he's doing Pittsburgh. Um, I think he's I'm pretty sure he's doing New York, but uh it's just uh let me see. Did you see the guy that came in fourth?

SPEAKER_01 18:03

Uh was that the I saw a shorter guy, a shorter black guy.

SPEAKER_03 18:08

He looked like he was on the spectrum. That was yeah, he did. He looked like he was on that show. It was Sean Clarissa.

SPEAKER_01 18:20

It was Sean Clarita's brother from the Appalachians. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_03 18:29

Can you say it?

SPEAKER_01 18:30

And that's not a that's not a knock against Sean. I'm just saying if if there's inbred people in the Appalachians, yeah, it's just I don't I I don't know who these I have no idea who these guys are.

SPEAKER_03 18:39

I mean, listen, it is what it is, but oh god.

SPEAKER_01 18:43

Um It's like a bodybuilder from the Hills Have Eyes, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:50

I'm trying to uh let me see, I'm trying to find this guy's back shots because it was just I just don't understand why he's got a bad if he's got a bad back, then there might not be many of us like yeah, I'm seeing it, and I remember that he was doing a rear double buy, and I'm like, Jesus, there's nothing there, you know. Um, let me see.

SPEAKER_01 19:07

But I did I did hear people commenting saying the lighting was pretty good at FIBA though. I think I was watching that. Oh, I think FIBA, FIBA, because I was talking about on Dennis James's podcast, Milos and um was it Milos and Chris or someone talking about?

SPEAKER_03 19:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 19:25

So I think Dennis was commentating. Dennis commented.

SPEAKER_03 19:28

Well, I wouldn't know because there was no live feed for the fucking FIBO.

SPEAKER_01 19:31

Yeah, it was that because then Dennis said, yeah, because when they saw the lights, he said they needed more, so they had to spend this small fortune getting better lights, and then everyone said it was good.

SPEAKER_03 19:43

Uh I don't know, man. It's just okay. Here we go. We got uh you find it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Here we go. All right. All right. I don't know if we could let's see. Okay, here we go. All right. I don't know if you could see it well, but it's the rear double buy. It's the rear double by that like right here. This is the guy who came in second right here.

SPEAKER_01 20:08

I can't see because I'm on my phone. If I was looking at the TV, I'd probably see it.

SPEAKER_03 20:13

Oh, all right, never mind. Is that the guy who came in second? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that that's him. Yeah. And I don't know, like his rear double by you know, his lat spread's not bad, but he's just I don't know, man. It was just a weak lineup. I have no fucking clue what's going on there.

SPEAKER_01 20:30

But a few of the a few of the shows, sadly, have I say weak lineups, but with with shows being close together, like the Arnold, Detroit, and other things, you'd expect bigger names to carry on through, but it is a weak lineup.

SPEAKER_03 20:43

Let's let's call us, let's call it circle, circle. I mean, listen, you know, I don't know when I didn't I knew who Leandro was, but even the hardcore bodybuilders don't know who he who Leandro was. I only know it because I cover it. Uh this is blessing we're looking at right here. I don't know if you can see it. Um and it's it's just seems like his and again, it's really a sin because I know he I know he's got the work ethic. I've but his it's his seems to be his his legs and his waist blown right out of proportion, you know.

SPEAKER_01 21:16

I think he was a little he looked a bit a little bit bloated or having hard time controlling the stomach at this one compared to the others.

SPEAKER_03 21:22

So yeah, I I just don't I even if he goes into New York and Pittsburgh, is he doing New York? I think so. Uh whatever, I know he's doing Pittsburgh. Even if he goes in there and he controls his stomach, his his it's just his legs, you know, they just don't have any sweep. Uh they just lack the quad size. See, there's just no and he he you could tell he's you can tell he's trying to pose it to to make it appear like he has a sweep, but it's just nothing there. You know? So it's uh and like I said, it's unfortunate because I know the guy works hard, he's got a great personality, he's good for the sport, but he's just I mean that I don't know. So I don't know, you know, and and you gotta give him credit because he's fucking competing. It's not like he's not these other guys are just sitting home, you know, waiting for the the you know that one show.

SPEAKER_01 22:10

We don't know, we don't know what the fuck they're waiting for.

SPEAKER_03 22:12

Yeah, right. So I you know you gotta give him credit where credit is due. He's on stage doing it, and it's just fucking awful. I I don't well, what is it? Like, I don't know, I don't get it. Uh what is it about uh this chat? This this year. Last year, if you remember, we had a lot of guys that were fucking right, it was stacked. Every show was stacked this year. It's just I don't know what's going on.

SPEAKER_01 22:43

It used to happen back in our day too. Some shows one year order shows would be stacked, and then the following year, people would be like thinking it's gonna be stacked again, so they're like, Oh, we're not gonna do it because flicks would be in it and Chris will be in it, and then they don't show up, and people like, oh fuck, I should have done it. I couldn't, yeah, right.

SPEAKER_03 23:00

Like, okay. A lot of what we I talked to um Armana DB and Paul uh Barnett, and he was like, you know, it's expensive to compete, but I I get it, but you're gonna tell me that Rafael Brandau's sponsor wouldn't sponsor him to compete in Brazil, or Nick Walker wouldn't sponsor him to compete in Brazil. Nick Walker would have walked away with that fucking uh Arnold and and uh the Olympia qualification, you know.

SPEAKER_01 23:25

Yeah, even if you paid your own if I'm sure people like Nick and him are well off to you. If you pay your own AFE, then that's a tax write-off of your business, isn't it?

SPEAKER_03 23:34

Yeah, right, exactly. I I just I don't know what's happening, and I I don't know what's going to happen after Pittsburgh. You know, because a lot of the shows are going to be in Europe after Pittsburgh, and it doesn't look like a lot of these guys want to go to travel too much, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 23:50

Which which is silly because there's some you know, some people who need to qualify, that could be an easy qualification for them, and they're all picking the same big shows like New York, Pittsburgh, or Tampa or somewhere.

SPEAKER_03 24:01

They're all kind of like I'm not like like I'm not saying not to do it. Uh like Raphael Brandau, I keep I keep harping on him because he's Brazilian and it would it would have been a big draw, it would have been an easy win. He's only two weeks before uh New York. I'm not saying not to do New York and not to do Pittsburgh, do it, but you could have easily got the qualification, made some money, and and took that title home. But and it's in your own backyard, and people would have loved, they probably would have made more money because he was there. He's like an idol over there.

SPEAKER_01 24:30

Exactly.

SPEAKER_03 24:31

I don't know. I don't know, man. Could you imagine like uh I think you gave me the example if it was like uh the Chicago Bulls decided, you know, I'm not gonna play this week.

SPEAKER_01 24:42

Or next week on the where the where the rainy that's where that's where you could almost be like Mr. Olympia. Should anyone even get a free pass to the next year? Everyone should re-qualify because you know the heavyweight champ of the world doesn't get to sit out the fights until next time. Julie they fight again and stuff. So the world champions of football don't all of a sudden sit out and wait for the everyone else to play, and whoever the champion is, they played them at the end of the year. So yeah, like I can't. Maybe just make it everyone just has to re-qualify every year that way. Mr. Illimpire himself has to compete at some show.

SPEAKER_03 25:20

Yeah, I mean, it would draw attention. That's why let that's why I liked when Samson was Mr. Olympia when he won that title, you know, whatever it was. He kept competing and he kept doing uh he was a really good representative of the sport, you know. Um has has Derek done any guest posing? Chat, uh guys in the chat, help me out. Has Derek done any guest posing in 2026? Probably at Hillsong. Oh, he's gonna do it, he's gonna be at Pittsburgh. I don't know if it's because I know Andrew Jackson be a Pittsburgh.

SPEAKER_01 25:51

I think well, they if they said he might be guest posing because I heard someone saying that could be a chance where even though they're off season and some are a little bit whatever, it might be like you know, when people start making their predictions.

SPEAKER_03 26:04

I like seeing that, I love seeing the bodybuilders off season, they're massive.

SPEAKER_01 26:08

I know, but you know, people start their predictions from that, they'll start their Olympia placings from how they look there at Pittsburgh.

SPEAKER_03 26:14

Yeah, right. I love seeing I remember seeing you guest posing. Um, I forgot what year it was, I want to say 99 or 2000. Uh I was probably shredded, and it was no, it was it was it was uh the eastern east coast or the eastern uh it was in it was in the tribe, it was in New York City. And that's the the for when I took a piss next to you. I don't know if yeah, I remember I told you the story, obviously you don't remember, but I remember you you know on stage and your legs look like fucking tree trunks, and somebody asked me yelled out tree trunks, and you looked I love seeing the guys in the off-season chest mass. I was always a fan of the mass monsters and the off-season guys, you know.

SPEAKER_01 26:57

It's gonna be funny, it's gonna be funny because once if they all do guest pose, then it'll be who's the front runner, and like I said, yeah, from there to Olympia, a lot can happen. Yeah, just like how they all start jumping on he's gonna take it. Oh, look at him now, and look at that.

SPEAKER_03 27:13

Uh Derek in the offseason is fucking impressive, but I don't know if they'll be like Derek's waist.

SPEAKER_01 27:19

Look at Samson's waist. Yeah, they're fucking bulked up, you idiots for fuck's sake.

SPEAKER_03 27:24

Samson, Samson is off season like I just he is well, like he's over 350 or something right now, they said it.

SPEAKER_01 27:30

But even people are saying, but even people are talking about his midsection, it's like, well, it's gonna be fucking big when you're cramming that much food in right now. It's like, worry about it at contest time. If it's that big at contest time, then start bitching. But in the offseason shit, my what my waist would sometimes get up near 43 44 inches, but when I diet it down, it was 29.

SPEAKER_03 27:51

So Forrest says that Samson is 352. Jesus Christ. How tall is he? 5'11, 5'10, 5'11. That's fucking insane, dude. That's insane. And he still has abs. Let's look him up because he still he still has abs. Uh that's what I mean.

SPEAKER_01 28:08

Like, yeah, his waist is bigger, but he's not like just a water balloon, he's got still see, you know, abs, you still see cuts in the legs, he's still got like shoulder, like shoulder and arm separations. Not like the delta arms are all blended into one.

SPEAKER_03 28:23

Yeah, right. Is this uh oh here we go? All right, yeah, let's see. There we go. I mean, he uh I mean this does no justice. Seeing him in person is he's dude, he's got a six pack, you gotta be kidding me.

SPEAKER_01 28:49

He's not gonna be able to bring it in. Come contact.

SPEAKER_03 28:52

That is fucking he's instant. And and you know the videos don't even do justice. You gotta see him in person. Yeah, that's fucking insane. You know I I don't think I've ever seen somebody 352 in person. I've seen Samson Dowd uh at the at the New York Pro like three years ago, and he was 300 pounds, but three yeah it's 500 fucking pounds.

SPEAKER_01 29:17

Well you'll be at you'll be at Nashville if you want to feel like a little boy, just when you stay in the Brian Shaw, you feel like I can't even I'm actually excited to me.

SPEAKER_03 29:27

I never met the guy, but uh you know, uh I'm excited to meet meet those guys. I can't wait that because uh I'm I'm hoping when we have a good time, you know. Yes it should be it should be pretty funny. It should be pretty fun.

SPEAKER_01 29:39

And uh it should be, it should be. Yes, I get it. I get in on I think I get in on the Thursday at like 5 30 in the afternoon.

SPEAKER_03 29:49

Yeah, I get I get there Friday morning, I land at 8 30 a.m. So uh the only thing is I'm not staying at the same hotel because that hotel is fucking expensive. Holy shit. For two nights they're only like$1,300.

SPEAKER_01 30:04

I was like, what do you people know? That must be must be a fancy one, might be the one Jay Cutler's at. Because if they ever put me at the hotel Jay Cutler's at, you know it's a good hotel. That's right. Yeah, me, I I'll stay in a budget fucking six as long as it's in the nice area and I don't have fucking drug dealers in the room next to me. Right, yeah. So because even like when you go to Vegas, people go, I'm staying at such and such. Look, I'll go stay at Circus Circus. Yeah, it's a fun casino. Rooms are probably like 79 a night. People say I'm paying 400 a night at the Bellagia. I'm like, what do you it's Vegas, you're not in your you're only in your room to fucking sleep or just have a shower. Like you know, the most beautiful room, but you're not fucking staying it. You only want a bed, so fuck absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 30:48

Here's my attitude. If I'm with my wife, then I want to stay in a nice hotel. I don't want to stay in a shit hotel. If I'm by myself, I don't give a fuck.

SPEAKER_04 30:56

Yeah, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 30:57

I don't really give a shit. That's why I think I what well what was where did I book? What was the uh hotel?

SPEAKER_01 31:02

It was like I booked one, I think it was called uh something one. It was just off the main street. It was like really cheap once when I that's when I went to see Nick DePolo there. It was uh yeah because they had some other function on there too, but yeah, I think this is the second time when they've had this show on, they've had the country music thing on, which is pretty good because they've got lots of acts in the parks going on and good country singers, and they blocked the main street off sometimes so you can look down. But there's tons, tons of people in town. It's a comfort in in fucking Nashville. Yeah, comfort in. I've stayed at them before, they're good.

SPEAKER_03 31:41

That's fine. Yeah, they got a lot of good uh reviews and four stars and all that bullshit. So I was just like, and it was half the price. Like for a hotel and airfare, it was like eight and change for the hotel alone where you're staying, it was like 1300. And I was like, fuck that shit, bro.

SPEAKER_01 31:58

I don't I don't like I said, I don't see the value in it. That's why when I go to Vegas when the Olympia's on before that I'd always stay at the grand vacations, and it's like I said, it's an apartment, you've got a separate bathroom, you like the shower and toilet, but then you've got another room that has a big bath in it, which is connected to the bedroom, then you have your separate living room, kitchen, washer dryer, and it's only like 186. The most I've paid sometimes is 220 a night. That's like you don't have to walk through a casino, they've got a great gym downstairs. So yeah, right. I gotta take a piss.

SPEAKER_03 32:29

I'll be right back.

SPEAKER_01 32:30

Keep keep the people entertained. I wished I was on the computer so I could read their questions, but I can't, or their comments, but I can't. So, people, yes, uh, if anyone wants to know, I'll be in Mexico City next weekend, which is coming up, isn't it? And then I'll be in Italy towards the end of the month, and then I'll be back in Nashville and then doing a tour through Illinois, Orlando. I'll put it on my Instagram where I'll be because I don't even know. I don't even know where I'm right now. So I wish I could read that. My TV's over there with the YouTube on, but I can't see. So John's just off taking a pee, as he said, because his prostate's all messed up. Turned 50. He's gotten a large prostate now. He had to go to the Bahamas to see Dr. Boujajou because he um you know, he's been known to experiment in prostate, you know, radical treatments and stuff. So that's why John was in the Bahamas getting that all checked out by the large prostate with Dr.

SPEAKER_03 33:44

Huh. Oh shit. Comforts in uh comforts in are shit and filled with germs and uh they're not odd odors.

SPEAKER_01 33:54

Okay, yeah, depending. I'm sure they got comfort ins in shit areas and good areas, and you know.

SPEAKER_03 34:00

Uh there we go. Haley, any update on the life elixir gh? What is that about?

SPEAKER_01 34:07

Oh, when I was starting to take it. No, I only took one thing and then I started traveling so much I haven't had any more shots. I don't know. The GH ain't doing nothing at the moment.

SPEAKER_03 34:17

Yeah, I actually went on, I went back on GH as soon as I got back uh back from uh uh the Bahamas. I was off for about six weeks. Because I'm like, where are you gonna go off the Bahamas?

SPEAKER_01 34:29

I'd be I'd be on for a week off for two, on for a week off for two.

SPEAKER_03 34:34

So uh, but I'll be honest with you, when I got home, because I didn't they have a gym there in the Bahamas, I I did not go to the gym. I was a coach. No, I did all I did was uh drink, uh sleep, go by the pool, uh eat, hang out with the wife, make friends, blah blah blah. But when I got home, I mean I had bad jet lag the day I got home, but the next day when I went back to the gym, I was like refreshed and I mean it's only a like a three-hour flight for me, but that's what I was saying.

SPEAKER_01 35:06

I'm thinking fucking jet lag.

SPEAKER_03 35:08

What sort of fucking jet lag did you get? Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's right. How long of a flight is gonna take you to go from fucking New York to uh New York, Australia to Mexico City?

SPEAKER_01 35:19

Uh well, I go from Sydney to Dallas Fort Worth, which is 15 hours something non-stop. Then I got a three-hour layover, and then from there to Mexico City's another two hours 45.

SPEAKER_03 35:35

Jesus Christ. Well, I hope you're making big money, bro.

SPEAKER_01 35:40

Yeah, so don't talk to me about jet lag and fucking time zones from the Bahamas.

SPEAKER_03 35:45

Yeah. All right. Uh the New York pro. Uh Dorian uh Hayward is doing it.

SPEAKER_04 35:52

Is he?

SPEAKER_03 35:53

Yeah. So he's gonna be he's gonna be competing. He messaged me he wants to go to Diamond Gym. Everybody, yeah. Uh, but uh apparently uh I think Eric Ramirez, if you if you remember him, he was a pro, but he didn't really go far as a pro. Nice guy. He opened up a gym.

SPEAKER_01 36:10

I remember I remember Richard, Richard Ramirez.

SPEAKER_03 36:13

Yeah, that guy. Yeah. Any relations? Any relations? Yeah, barring the barring the killing the people, he was probably a nice guy, you know what I mean? Like I'm sure. He was a gentle soul. You know, you take the murders out.

SPEAKER_01 36:27

He was just he was just misunderstood. Yeah, yeah, that's that's all those all those serial killers are just you know do you ever see the documentary on him?

SPEAKER_03 36:37

How they caught him? Richard Ramirez, yeah, the night stalker. Yeah, I think I did.

SPEAKER_01 36:43

I have watched it, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 36:44

But uh do you remember at the end back then he was uh they put his picture in the paper and they were coming after him, and he was trying to get away, and he was in uh the Spanish neighbor's trying to get on a bus, and he was in this in uh East LA or something like that. And that's right.

SPEAKER_01 36:59

Didn't people catch him and start beating him up?

SPEAKER_03 37:01

They beat the shit out of him.

SPEAKER_01 37:02

Yeah, when the cops came, he ran for the cops because they would kick the shit out of him. Oh, yeah, that didn't didn't help running to the cops. That poor bastard that got away from Dharma, remember? Yeah, right. Yeah, you're right. He got he got away, and then the cops took him back, and Dharma goes, I'm so glad you got my boyfriend, and that because Darma had already taken naked pictures of him. So the cops saw the cops saw the naked pictures, so they said, Okay, just keep it. Yeah, keep it between you escape from a serial killer and the police take you back, and then you get fucking killed.

SPEAKER_03 37:35

Imagine being that cop, like your whole, like, like the whole oh my god, you'd have to retire and go into hiding.

SPEAKER_01 37:44

Uh you would because it's like he's the poor guy wanting help, and you like it's okay. We'll take you back. He's like, No, I don't want to you sort it out, sort it out, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 37:53

All right, so in New York, we got uh Mike Crizzo, we got Tony O'Burton.

SPEAKER_01 37:59

Uh photos I've seen.

SPEAKER_03 38:02

He's big time, big time. Uh yeah, I actually put up a photo of him. He really looks fucking good.

SPEAKER_01 38:09

I think someone said say put on 13 pounds or so, which is a lot of strange.

SPEAKER_03 38:16

If that's the case, he's uh it's gonna be a force to reckon with because his shape is incredible. Uh all right, let's say this was what two weeks ago? Let's see. Uh there we go.

SPEAKER_01 38:35

There we go.

SPEAKER_03 38:37

Damn. That's impressive, man. That really is fucking impressive. He's got great shape, he's got a small waist, he's got those round muscle bellies.

SPEAKER_01 38:51

He's not lacking anything. I said the only thing that you know, he as long as he comes in condition, you know, he's always gonna be a front runner.

SPEAKER_03 38:59

Yeah, exactly. So I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna be between him and uh Chriso and Crizzo, to be honest with you, man. This was nine hours ago.

SPEAKER_01 39:09

I like I like Crizzo's freakiness, but I think overall shape and size, and I'd have to go Tony over going overall and that wouldn't you?

SPEAKER_03 39:17

Yeah, exactly. I agree. He's just gifted.

SPEAKER_01 39:21

He's just like Crizo's Crizo's got some good, like freaky shots in that. But if we're gonna go bodybuilding pose for pose, you'd have to go Tonyo.

SPEAKER_03 39:29

Yeah, I think so, man. He just looks like he's lacking nothing. And uh let's see, let's look up Chriso because he's pretty impressive too. Uh disgusting.

SPEAKER_01 39:42

But I just think I just think with Tonio's shape and that that's gonna show off the little flaws that Crizo has though.

SPEAKER_03 39:49

Yeah. Can you see that?

SPEAKER_01 39:51

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 39:52

Yeah, Chriso's gonna have to outsize him. And I don't if he if he really put on 13 pounds, I don't know if Mike Chris was gonna be able to outsize him, but that shape and structure, you know, he might start beating guys like uh Dexter used to be guys, you know.

SPEAKER_04 40:07

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 40:08

You know, or or you, or you used to be guys that were much bigger than you. Yeah, you ain't kidding. Um, so I think those two guys in it. I know Dorian is in it. Let's look him up. Dorian here were because he's uh Dorian's looking good, but you know, he's I don't think he's gonna be able to, you know, you know, be next to uh Chris and Tonyo. Can you see that? You know, he's looking good. He's still got a couple of weeks, so he's just gotta pull some water. We'll see. I don't know. Yeah. I mean he's a good bodybuilder and he's a friend, but Tony and Chriso are fucking those guys are fucking, you know, top tier man, you know, top tier fucking dudes.

SPEAKER_01 41:02

Uh there like any like other big names in the world.

SPEAKER_03 41:06

I'm trying to think of you know what? Who else is uh chat? Uh help me out. Is there anybody in uh anybody else in the um in uh in the New York Pro besides uh Tonyo, Mike Crizo? I know a lot of guys are doing I know oh Brandow. Raphael Brandau. There we go. Okay. Duh. Okay, let's see.

SPEAKER_01 41:31

You've only been talking about him all day.

SPEAKER_03 41:33

Yeah, I've been talking shit about him all day. And uh uh there we go.

SPEAKER_01 41:39

We just assumed he wasn't doing any shows since he didn't do the Arnold Brazil.

SPEAKER_03 41:44

Well, yeah, I mean I don't, you know, this was what uh six days ago. All right, so let's see.

SPEAKER_01 41:50

Was it was it really? Or they just say that.

SPEAKER_03 41:53

Yeah, you might yeah, exactly. This was six days ago. He's got look, he's got great shape too. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's gonna be able to beat Mike Crizzo and um Antonio. You know what I mean? I I really don't I don't think he's gonna be able to beat those guys. Those guys are like elite guys.

SPEAKER_01 42:12

I agree. I agree. If they if they both come in, like that'd have to fuck up for him to beat them.

SPEAKER_03 42:18

But so this is Pittsburgh. So in Pittsburgh, you got uh Brandon Curry, uh Patrick Moore, uh you got Raphael Brandau, Tony O'Burton, Mike Chriso, Sas Harati. Um you gotta give it, you gotta take your hat off the Sas. He's still competing, even though he got his Olympia qualification.

SPEAKER_01 42:37

I'd like I'd like to wouldn't it be nice to see Brandon Curry win that no reason why he couldn't win that show.

SPEAKER_03 42:43

There's no reason why he couldn't win the show. There's absolutely no reason. There's no reason to count, you cannot count Brandon Curry out.

SPEAKER_01 42:50

The guy is in Iopy comes in like looking at his best again and fucking wins another one. Me too.

SPEAKER_03 42:56

I I really do. I've become such a super fan of his because he just has no quit in him and he operates like a like a professional, no matter what happens. He goes back to the drawing board and he comes back no matter what. And the let like he came to the Arnold UK and he looked phenomenal, just incredible, except that he ran into Andrew Jack, and Andrew Jack is the fucking superhero, you know. You know, it is what it is, but uh he there's there's no reason why he can't win that.

SPEAKER_01 43:26

I saw him, I saw him at FIBO, he was staying at the same hotel.

SPEAKER_03 43:30

And and he's a he's also a family man, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 43:33

Very nice guy, very nice.

SPEAKER_03 43:35

Yeah, he's he's a guy that people that uh young bodybuilders should look up to. You know, instead of talking about fucking Martin Fitzwater and Larry Wheels and all these guys, we should give more credit to Flavicula. Yeah, oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 43:52

I I mean I I can't even I see so many things on YouTube pop up with his name, you know. I can't even look at it anymore. I can't miss it. I can't. I can't. The last thing I saw was saying he overdosed. I didn't even click on it or something. We overdosed somewhere.

SPEAKER_03 44:09

The last one I saw was he had uh he has a club in Miami, but it's really not his. They brought him in as a partner to promote the club because the club's not doing good. The owner is really some Israeli gangster or Israeli businessman, this short fat Jewish guy from Israel, obviously. And uh they brought him in as a partner, as a percentage of the partner, and then they went in and they went in and it still didn't fucking uh do well. So I don't I don't know. We'll we'll see what happens. But I mean he's making money, he's just at first when it at first when he was like talking talking to the young guys, but now with the stupid shit, so he could stay relevant and the overdosing and the fucking time I see you like shit come up. Smashing his face, like you said, smashing his face.

SPEAKER_01 44:57

There's a guy here in Australia that does that, he just got arrested. He's like the Australian version of him, and it's like it was somewhere and it was on the news, Luke's maxing somewhere, and like just even the words look Luke's maxing believable, man.

SPEAKER_03 45:12

I mean, come on, like that's just ridiculous. But whatever, and all these things they get millions of followers.

SPEAKER_01 45:18

I don't get it. It's like they follow these retards, it's unbelievable. Yeah, it's like the Pied Piper.

SPEAKER_03 45:24

It's uh uh whatever. Yeah, exactly. It's just fucking ridiculous. Um, whatever. But um Brandon Curry is uh a good father, a good husband, uh work ethic is incredible. You never hear a bad thing about him. He conducts himself like a professional for Mr. Olympia, for multiple honor classic champion. How much more do you need to look up to uh as a role model? Really? I mean, I don't know how much more. Look, I call it circle a circle. If I think you're an asshole, I'm gonna say it. But if I think you deserve credit, I also say it. It is what it is, you know. You know, it's just but and it's unfortunate because our society, Western society, doesn't credit guys like Brandon. They credit assholes like Clavicular or whatever the hell his name is Clavicular. Larry ones are now when Johnny Bravo figures out that he uh him and his wife like to uh do disgusting things on whatever. The last one I watched, was it the last one I watched was Clavicular?

SPEAKER_01 46:30

Oh, wasn't that what it'd be in West?

SPEAKER_03 46:33

You don't want to be on Johnny Bravo's bad side, man. I think it might have been West, Wes Watson. Was it? Was it West again? Wes Watson. He's always he destroys it. Yeah, I don't know how he'll dig up shit from like fucking a hundred years ago and like I don't know how he does it, man.

SPEAKER_01 46:50

I even know how people on the inside people on the inside that work at the records office, maybe know a detective or two on that that can just get the files for you easy.

SPEAKER_03 47:01

So it's unfucking. I guess so, man. I I don't know. Uh but whatever, whatever he's doing is working, you know. I I just hope that he doesn't have anything shitty in his background. Exactly. There's a colon, there's a couple of girls that you could talk to from my background that you know, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 47:18

Well, that's all that's all the way they can say it too. It's like it could be consensual, but the when they tell the story, it's like, yeah, really, what an asshole.

SPEAKER_03 47:28

There's a couple of times I was a real asshole. Like, there would be like if I were to like let's say run for public office, right? Let's say I would run for like councilman or mayor, and then I had to swear on the Bible, and I'd have my hand on the Bible swearing into office, all of a sudden I would hear hello daddy, and I'd be like, you know what? I'll I'm out on second thought. Your hand, your hand wouldn't catch fire while it's on.

SPEAKER_02 47:52

There's a trans woman behind me going, hello daddy. Oh Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_01 47:55

Okay, I'll be like, I'll be able to swear, I'd be like, shit, my whole life story's out there. Yeah, okay. Okay, I'll be running, I'll be running for office. Do you know we give cocaine and that? Yeah, yeah, we're seeing his documentary next. Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_03 48:10

It's a good thing my mother's got dementia now. Holy shit.

SPEAKER_01 48:14

SPEAKER_01 48:35

She goes into she goes into some sort of covert state. Oh, thank god. I didn't think you would ever leave. When's bingo? Oh get the fuck out. Yeah, she's probably when you're not there, probably before you come, they're gonna take down trivia winner of the week and it's got your mother's name.

SPEAKER_02 48:58

Madeline Livia, take it down. Next week she's gonna be on Jeopardy. Fuck in disguise.

SPEAKER_01 49:14

That's why you trade. She loves it when you give you shorts visit your visits short because she can't stay pretending.

SPEAKER_03 49:21

She's gonna be 91 in June, man. 91. Jesus Christ. I went to see her yesterday, man. She doesn't even talk, she's not saying nothing, she's not talking. Not to you.

SPEAKER_01 49:32

SPEAKER_01 50:00

Uh she's got you sorted out.

SPEAKER_03 50:03

Oh, dude, it's unreal. I like I it's like at the point where I'm like, because she you know, the girl is there all day. Like on Sunday, she's there from like one to six, so one to six thirty, something like that. And uh, you know, I walked in and like she's got my mother's diaper in her hand, and I'm like, Jesus Christ. Like I wouldn't want to live like that. Like, just put a 38 to the roof of my mouth. Do me a favor.

SPEAKER_01 50:24

But because we say that, but I guess once you get to that point, you probably don't know it yourself. You're living like that. No idea, man.

SPEAKER_03 50:29

SPEAKER_01 55:13

Yep, he might want to come on and be a guest, and you can have him on.

SPEAKER_03 55:17

Yeah, if that would have happened, I would have to be honest. I would be like, Look, dude, I don't, I you know, uh, yeah. I've ripped, I've ripped on you, I'm wrestling. I've poured into you so bad, like so uh, you know, I would I could I'm not gonna be a phony, I can't be a fake.

SPEAKER_02 56:18

Do you know what I mean? Like, I don't, I just can't do that.

SPEAKER_01 56:22

You know, that's not really a hit, it's more like the hitting them with that hand on the jaw.

SPEAKER_02 56:30

Did you see the size of the guy?

SPEAKER_01 56:32

I don't know. Let's say, hold on. Is that like is that like the Russian guy or still?

SPEAKER_03 56:39

SPEAKER_02 57:37

No way. No way. All right.

SPEAKER_01 57:41

SPEAKER_03 57:51

I mean, uh you know, those guys just I I I just I just I don't know. I can't see myself doing that shit. I could see myself doing, but I can't see myself fucking getting slapped in the face, bro. You're a better man than me, that's what's wrong. Fuck that. Oh, come on.

SPEAKER_01 58:08

SPEAKER_01 58:44

Oh my god, how are you gonna how you gonna do that? How are you going to cut up? Holy shit. That's all right my second flight's actually longer than your only flight. My layover, my layover's longer than your flight.

SPEAKER_03 58:59

I don't know how you do it, man. I know you make good money, but that's rough, that's a rough way to make a living.

SPEAKER_01 59:04

And that's why I said to sit, I enjoy to work and I know you enjoy making me money, but I'm quite happy to make less because this actually stresses me out, you know. I said, I'm not Jay Cutler, I don't worry about the money. It's like as long as I'm comfortable, I'm okay. I don't need a lot of it. And if if making a lot of it is having to travel this much and be stressed all the time, it's like I'd rather make less than being stress-free and happy.

SPEAKER_03 59:30

Yeah, I know exactly. That's is ain't that the truth. Well, Larry Wheels tried soon before we go. Larry Wheels tried sumo wrestling too. I heard that, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 59:38

That's where they fold the paper into like ducks and dinosaurs, isn't it? Is that origami? I think so. Yeah. Oh, there's a there's a good video of him out there pruning his um bonsai bush. I really like that.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:12
