| 0:00.0 | Power Project Crew, Welcome to today's show. We have an exciting episode for you today. |
| 0:04.0 | This episode is recorded on April 23rd, and it is with the one and only half Thorbjornson. |
| 0:09.1 | Just in case you're unaware of who that is, I will run down some quick stats for you so that |
| 0:13.5 | we can get up to speed. Half Thor is the 2018 world strongest man and the |
| 0:18.3 | only person to win the Arnold classic strong man competition, Europe's strongest and the world's strongest man all in the same calendar year |
| 0:25.7 | But even if you've never seen any second of a strong man competition there is a really good chance you actually have seen half throw on your TV screen. |
| 0:34.6 | He of course played the mountain on HBO's Game of Thrones and more recently he has set out to break |
| 0:39.8 | the all-time world deadlift record which is currently held by previous and future |
| 0:44.0 | guest Eddie Hall at 500 kilos or for us in the States 1,102 pounds |
| 0:49.1 | unfortunately he set out to do this before the quarantine and before the lockdown he was |
| 0:54.3 | scheduled to do this in competition but since the lockdown he's decided to go ahead and |
| 0:58.8 | still go through with it by doing everything in his home gym by bringing you know judges to him by bringing you know |
| 1:05.4 | ESPN to him and that that's what's caused a ton of controversy within the |
| 1:09.8 | strong man community mainly between he and Eddie Hall. |
| 1:13.4 | Eddie doesn't believe that this should count as an official world record. |
| 1:16.8 | He doesn't think it's fair that he can bring everything into his home gym on his terms, |
| 1:21.2 | on his time, but Hafthor is still going to go through with it on May 2nd |
| 1:25.3 | it's not his fault that everything got shut down so it's it's a weird circumstance a weird situation |
| 1:31.6 | but we absolutely love what halfthor had to say about the record itself and ultimately how he really doesn't care too much about it he cares more about titles and championships than world records. |
| 1:42.5 | So overall an amazing conversation. |
| 1:44.4 | I know you guys are going to get a ton of value |
| 1:46.2 | out of this episode. |
