 Quick thing, why was this strong New York event so important to each of you, and I'll give you a little time for each to answer? Gentest on it a little bit, talking about different men and different things happening in our world and on the news right now. And something that keeps me in the gym and keeps me kind of doing what I do, whatever the heck that is. Is that the barbell doesn't really care where we're from. The barbell doesn't really care who we voted for. The barbell doesn't care how much money is in our bank account, who our parents are, or anything once you get under it. So strength, like Taran kind of just mentioned, is the great equalizer. You lift it, you don't. Pounds don't change day to day. Kilos don't change day to day. And any opportunity I can get to get around like-minded individuals, all of you took your time out of today, Saturday? Saturday. To come and hang out with us is like, are you ready to rock? Detroit! And thank you guys for coming out, because again, you know, whatever it is we do, YouTube or whatever, none of this is possible without you guys. So a round of applause for that real quick. Thank you guys for taking your time. But any opportunity I can have to lift weights, to hang out, to get food, to chat with like-minded individuals like Jen, like Taran, like Brandon and Burt, Mr. DeFranco, people that were just up, is a great time for me to learn, for you to learn, and for all of us to kind of forget some of the negativity that may be happening in this world and focus on something that brings us together, when especially in our country right now, a lot of things are trying to bring us apart. People are starting to listen and focus in on extremism, without going on too much of a tangent. If you only surround yourself with your beliefs and your type, whatever that is, if you're a weightlifter even, you're a powerlifter even. You know, ten years ago it was a serious like feud. Even now, you know, people are bashing CrossFit or bashing Strongman. And the more you hang out with people that are of that extreme nature, politically, financially, socially, the further we are going to be apart from each other. So if we can all just focus on, again, the barbell doesn't care what's in our bank account, the barbell doesn't care our skin color, our religion, anything of that nature, and we can start to draw more together. I think the better off we're going to be. And events like this allow us to do that in a positive manner. So shout out to Kenny and Salish, shout out to Reebok, shout out to Jen. Go ahead. I think growing up as young men, there's a conception we have, you are kind of taught or told about strength. And I want to know what one of those misconceptions were as you've come through into like your manhood and as leaders in our community. Wouldn't what those misconceptions were or could be? Misconceptions of being a man? Well, what the strength is. Yeah. You know, I think that question relates to like powerlifting a lot. I'm kind of a pseudo powerlifter. I don't compete that often, but that's what I coach, that's what I teach, that's what I've been into for about 10 years. And in powerlifting, in lifting weights, you know, the term meathead, we throw it around jokingly, but I think society in general kind of shows that as, you know, someone that doesn't have a brain, someone that's just screaming at the barbell, someone that has no other opportunities. And so all they do is lift weights to grow their muscles where, you know, if you dig into strength and conditioning, you dig into powerlifting, weightlifting, whatever it might be. It's very cerebral. It's cerebral in planning and programming. It's cerebral in execution. And some of those things are what draw me to it. Play basketball my whole life. And it's kind of opposite. You know, it's kind of a skill-based sport. And people don't consider powerlifting and these things skill-based. They just think of it kind of caveman work. So for me, I guess strength, powerlifting, the barbell, the routine of it, the process of it, the discipline of it, in a way has been, I guess, my martial arts. Everyone always knows that or thinks that martial arts. I've never done any martial arts, but I'll high-five you. I'm not fighting. That's YouTube. Yeah, throw it on my shoulder. And people know that, oh, that teaches discipline, that teaches passion, that teaches intensity, that teaches respect and honor in these things. But I think as powerlifting is starting to grow, as barbell sports are starting to grow, that's something that has shaped me as a human being, as an adult. Everything I do in life can be drawn back and rooted to barbell, to powerlifting. The discipline of it, as I mentioned, the programming of it, showing up day in and day out. And those things are strength to me when I don't want to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym when I don't want to wake up and do emails. I'm going to wake up and do emails. Not every day is a great day, but every day you can still kind of rely on those things. And that's kind of the strength to me. Amazing. My high school coach preached a lot about being part of something greater than yourself. And that's probably the biggest piece of it. So I guess roots back to teamwork, roots back to selflessness, loyalty, things of that nature. A lot. And the final question, I want you guys to choose one person. I'm sure there's many, but one man that you look up to and quickly why? Yeah, honestly, I don't really know if I look up to anybody, but if I was to go after someone, it would be, I like Will Smith. Okay. Will Smith. Just because he breaks the, how do I say it? He writes the barrier of black actors. And I as part of the actor one day as well. And he kind of, he just brings that barrier, whether you know, you can't be this type of actor in this movie or, because they don't, not to try to get like racial black people are seen as comedic actors. And he takes that, you know, above and beyond. And he's one of the greatest actors of our time. So, you know, that's, that's well. A cliche answer, but probably not in the reasoning of my dad. Just simple things. You know, he wasn't a powerlifter, YouTube sensation like Taran, but worked a normal job, but worked seven days a week finding other activities to help the community. Most selfless man that ever lived. The loyalty, respect. Just kind of the morals that I learned from that in him. I was very lucky and blessed. So, probably my dad. What's that? Yeah, man, I felt like that for the last five years. I love lifting weights. But I think, you know, sadly the internet has done awesome things. But there's obviously some negativity on there. And there's these guys that are, you know, smashing tweets. I'm up at 3am. Love and lifting. You got to come with me and like snort pneumonia. And that's cool. But I think, you know, fitness, lifting, it's going to be different for each person. And it's going to change throughout your lifetime. And so, if you're over a barbell, be over a barbell. I think health should always be first in your life. And I do think the barbell can teach us many a thing about ourselves and society, as I mentioned before. But I think that motivation isn't what the internet tells you and motivation isn't what these movies put out. I don't hop out of bed with my niece leaves on like, yo, go time. I'm human just like you. I'm not Uber excited to always bench squat dead or whatever it might be or to do cardio or to track my food. It's just a part of who I am and it's part of my big picture goal. And I know that if I do these small things every single day, it's going to lead me to where I want to be. So I think that you have to one, decide whether you're just in a lull or you're actually over something. If you're over something, find a new passion, try new things. And if you're a lull, that is when the discipline of barbells teaches you who you are. And you just have to show up every day and get shit done rather than just quitting. And that's what defines who's in this room right now, who drove hours, who decided to dedicate their Saturday to learning something, who's dedicated and disciplined enough to go through these things. And those that decided to stay home like, oh, that's cool. Huge fan of Taran. I'm going to play video games instead. I don't need to see them. And that's where the line in our society needs to be, as I mentioned, not politically and socially, but the people that are get shit doneers are in do shit and don't do nothing. Don't do nothing, bitch. Rhonda Rouser. Rhonda Rouser. Yeah, do shit. Yeah, I mean, that's just what it is. You just wake up and you get it and get shit done whether you want to or not to. I mean, you're going to have to, you know, there's a bunch of, not to get political again, there's taxes and shit going on. We're all going to have to write a check to the fucking government. It is what it is. Do we want to give out our money? No, no one wants to give away their hard work money, but that's just part of life. You do it. Whatever. Call your mom every day, make a check in, whatever it is. But we just got some shit you got to do. And for me, waking up and lifting is one of those things. Yo, I cannot add on to that.
