That's right. It's a BIG episode with lots to cover:

• Recent happenings in my own personal life.
• My thoughts on when I am asked, "When are you going to get big again?"
• The weighing of the Husafell Stone.
• The 2026 Giants Live Open / World Deadlift Championship and reflecting on years past (especially 2021 where I pulled 1,000 lbs among 6 others).
• Acknowledging the reality of social climes on being shirtless/topless in public spaces.
• Q&A - Training for elevated deadlifts with limited equipment. (Shoutout to JT Larsen @jtlarsen36 on Instagram).
• SPACE OUT:
  • Starship Flight 13.
  • SpaceX Rocket upper stage crashing into the moon.
  • Solar eclipse 2026.
  • The Big Bend Wall.

I understand, especially in the midst of current political and social climates, that a couple of these topics may rustle some jimmies. That said, having meaningful discourse and overall awareness of the reality in what all these topics encompass, and who they affect, is essential for us to move forward and proliferate as a society. Thank you for listening with an open mind. I hope you enjoy the episode!

On this episode of Titan Talk, I discuss the realities of striving for longevity in the sport of Strongman. There is a very real wear and tear on the body, and it can accumulate easily through years of competition if not addressed. Much of the subject's presence on the episode is inspired by recent "retirement" announcements by Mitchell Hooper.

Also, I'll talk a bit about social media's pressure on elite athletes to become personalities in an age driven by reels and memes.

SPACE OUT with me on SpaceX Starship Flight 13 and its multiple aborts, China's first successful rocket booster catch, and the smoke from Canada's wildfires!
