Strongman Nick Best on who's really the strongest man in history, Goldberg drops by to say hi

See the Youtube here (2019/10/7)

Nick Best, strongman competitor and one of the men on the show "The Strongest Man in History" talks about being on the show and in his opinion who is the strongest man ever. WWE superstar Bill Goldberg stops by to say hello.

[Interviewer]

I got thirlled, but first of all we have to give a plug to your show. I mean, I was telling you I love your show, man, on the History Channel. Where can folks watch it and then what is the hardest challenge you've had on that show?

[Nick Best]

Well, it's on the History Channel which you can get, or you can get it on Amazon Prime; either one you can watch it from. Um, it's called The Strongest Man in History. Uh, the hardest challenge I think for me was the 2790 pound hip lift. That was definitely the hardest challenge. The Viking log... the Orm Storolfsson log that was 1450 pounds was a close second, because that was always really difficult to pick up as well.

[Interviewer]

They always talked about your age in these videos. How do you keep motivated at your age because I would assume - and I'm obviously not a guy of your strength - you're not in your physical prime supposedly at your age so how do you keep motivated and keep able to do the things you do at your age?

[Nick Best]

I just have personal goals that I want to do and I'm not satisfied 'til I get there and as long as my body stays healthy and keeps going, I'm gonna keep going. Now, I do do a lot of rehab, I take care of myself, I watch what I eat, I get a lot of sleep... A lot of people aren't willing to commit to the discipline that it takes to do that and that's their problem. That's why they can't do it. So when you look at the sportscaster saying, "Well Tom Brady should retire because he's this age" and whatever else, that's hogwash. You know, you don't have to retire; that man lives to play football and everything in his life is set up that way. And everything in my life is set up to do this. That's why I'm still able to do it.

[Interviewer]

It always seems weird how I'll watch and I'll say, "Well how do you win one event and then get fourth place in another?!" You know, it seems like you win one, you should win them all. How frustrating is that when you know, "I just beat this guy in the last one... now I can't hang with them at all in this event?"

[Nick Best]

It's frustrating, but everybody has their strengths weaknesses and they're all different with the four of us... Robert! You!

[Bill Goldberg]

Dude... how's Robert?

[Nick Best]

Robert is great! Robert is great.

[Bill Goldberg]

He's fxxx awesome.

[Nick Best]

Yeah, he's awesome.

[Bill Goldberg]

I hope you're having as much fun as I know he and I have together I just want to come and say hello. You guys are doing a great job.

[Nick Best]

That's awesome!

[Bill Goldberg]

I love it, man. If the History Channel was smart, they'd promote my show so that we'd all be in the family because we'd be the biggest, baddest family in the frickin' television world.

[Nick Best]

We will crush people.

[Bill Goldberg]

Yes we will, but you guys are doing a great job. I just wanted to tell you. Congratulations, keep it up.

[Nick Best]

You just made my whole day!

[Bill Goldberg]

STOP.

[Interviewer]

You guys know each other?

[Nick Best]

Nope. First time I've met him.

[Interviewer]

Oh cool! See you got a lot of people seeing you from the show. Alright last thing I got and I'll let you go. No one's watching... Rank you guys in order, strongest to the least.

[Nick Best]

Oh... I'm not crazy, I'm not doing that.

[Interviewer]

You're not gonna throw Brian Shaw under the bus?

[Nick Best]

Well, in my personal opinion, which don't mean much, I think Brian Shaw is probably the strongest person in history as far as Strongman because he is the most well-rounded of all of them, and there's reasons I believe that way and some of its political so I'm not gonna get into that but he is probably the most dedicated Strongman you'll ever see.

[Interviewer]

Last thing I got for you. So Brian - a huge guy, height's massive - how do you guys deal with, like, he's got this advantage. Then Eddie Hall's got one, being shorter, it's different. So how do you guys kind of deal with the different sizes that you guys have?

[Nick Best]

Well, I mean, like I said, we all have our strengths and weaknesses. So Brian will have an advantage on some of the events where tall people have an advantage. Eddie's got huge advantages on the deadlift. Matter of fact, he's got the biggest deadlift of all time so he's got a huge advantage there. So it's just kind of whatever the event is they throw at us on who will have the biggest advantage, and sometimes the old man gets an advantage.

[Interviewer]

Very last question: What was your favorite place that you guys have gone to?

[Nick Best]

The favorite place that we've been? Scotland, hands down. That place was amazing. I love Scotland.

[Interviewer]

Best of luck. I said I enjoyed the show and I'm not even a World's Strongest Man kind of guy, but it's a great show, so if people haven't seen it be sure to check on the History Channel. Thanks so much.

[Nick Best]

Cool, thank you!

尼克·貝斯特（Nick Best）是一位強人競賽選手，也是節目《史上最強大的人》（The Strongest Man in History）中的其中一位男性成員。他在這個節目中談到了參與該節目的感受，並分享了他認為誰是史上最強大的男人。

[採訪者] 首先，我非常興奮，但首先我們要宣傳一下你的節目。我的意思是，我告訴過你，我非常喜歡你在History頻道上的節目。人們可以在哪裡觀看它，而你在這個節目中遇到的最困難的挑戰是什麼？

[尼克·貝斯特] 節目在History頻道上播出，你可以通過History頻道收看，也可以在Amazon Prime上收看；任何一種方式都可以觀看。嗯，節目名為《史上最強大的人》。對我來說，最困難的挑戰是承受2790磅的臀部舉重。那絕對是最困難的挑戰。北歐戰士日誌...奧姆·斯托羅爾夫松的木頭，重達1450磅，也是非常困難的舉起來。

[採訪者] 在這些影片中，人們總是談論到你的年齡。在你這個年齡，你如何保持動力？因為我假設-我顯然不是像你這樣強壯的人-在你這個年齡，你的身體狀態可能不是處於巔峰狀態，那麼你如何保持動力，保持在你這個年齡能夠做你所做的事情？

[尼克·貝斯特] 我有一些個人目標，我要實現這些目標，只有在達到目標之前我才會滿足。只要我的身體保持健康，繼續前進，我就會繼續努力。現在，我確實進行了很多復健，照顧自己，注意飲食，充足睡眠...很多人不願意為此付出所需的紀律，這是他們的問題。這就是他們做不到的原因。所以當你看到體育評論員說：“噢，湯姆·布雷迪應該因為他這個年齡而退休”之類的話，那都是胡說八道。你知道，你不必退休；那個人活著就是為了踢足球，他的整個生活都是為此而設計的。而我生活中的一切都是為了做這個。這就是為什麼我仍然能夠做到這一點。

[採訪者] 我總是覺得很奇怪，我會看著比賽，然後問自己：“噢，你怎麼贏了一場比賽，然後在另一場比賽中得第四名？！”你知道，感覺上你贏了一場，你應該全都贏。當你知道：“我剛剛在上一場比賽中打敗了這個人...現在在這場比賽中我完全跟不上他們的時候，這是多麼令人沮喪呢？”

[尼克·貝斯特] 這讓人沮喪，但每個人都有自己的優勢和弱點，我們四個人都不同...羅伯特！你！

[比爾·戈德堡] 夥計...羅伯特好嗎？

[尼克·貝斯特] 羅伯特很好！羅伯特很好。

[比爾·戈德堡] 他真是棒呆了。

[尼克·貝斯特] 是的，他很棒。

[比爾·戈德堡] 我希望你們和我們一樣玩得開心，我只是想過來問候一下。你們做得很好。

[尼克·貝斯特] 太棒了！

[比爾·戈德堡] 我喜歡這個，夥計。如果History頻道聰明的話，他們會宣傳我的節目，這樣我們就都會成為一家人，因為我們將成為電視世界中最大、最厲害的家庭。

[尼克·貝斯特] 我們會碾壓他們。

[比爾·戈德堡] 是的，我們會的，但你們做得很好。我只是想告訴你們。恭喜，繼續加油。

[尼克·貝斯特] 你讓我一整天都開心起來了！

[比爾·戈德堡] 停下來吧。

[採訪者] 你們認識對方嗎？

[尼克·貝斯特] 沒有。我第一次見到他。

[採訪者] 哦，太酷了！看來你們的節目有很多觀眾。好了，最後一個問題，然後我就讓你們走。沒有人在看...按強度從高到低排名你們。

[尼克·貝斯特] 噢...我不瘋狂，我不會這樣做。

[採訪者] 你不出賣布萊恩·肖嗎？

[尼克·貝斯特] 嗯，依我個人的觀點，這沒有太大意義，但我認為布萊恩·肖可能是史上最強壯的人，就世界最強壯男人來說，因為他是所有人中最全面發展的，我有一些原因這樣認為，其中有些是政治原因，所以我不打算深入討論，但他可能是你見過的最投入的世界最強壯男人。

[採訪者] 最後一個問題。布萊恩是個大個子，身高很高，你們如何應對他的這個優勢？埃迪·霍爾則是個矮個子，情況不同。所以你們如何應對你們不同的身材大小？

[尼克·貝斯特] 嗯，就像我之前說的，我們每個人都有自己的優勢和弱點。在一些對身材高大的人有優勢的項目中，布萊恩會有優勢。埃迪在舉重方面有巨大的優勢。事實上，他創下了有史以來最大的舉重記錄，所以在這方面他有巨大的優勢。所以這只取決於他們給我們安排的項目，有時候老年人也會佔到優勢。

[採訪者] 最後一個問題：你們去過的地方中，哪個是你們最喜歡的？

[尼克·貝斯特] 我們去過的最喜歡的地方？毫不猶豫，是蘇格蘭。那個地方太棒了

[採訪者] 祝你好運。我說過我喜歡這個節目，雖然我不是那種喜歡世界最強壯男人的人，但這是一個很棒的節目，所以如果還有人沒看過，一定要在歷史頻道上觀看。非常感謝。

[尼克·貝斯特] 太酷了，謝謝你！
