00:00But the greatest is like weightlifting. You ever see the weightlifting? Where they
00:05have a record that wasn't broken in 18 years? And they have — should I imitate it? You know,
00:11my wife gets very upset when I do this. She said, darling, it's not presidential.
00:17They say, yeah, but people like it. Should I do it or not? All right, I'm in
00:24trouble when I get home, but that's okay. What the hell? I've been in lots of
00:28trouble before. But no, you look at the weightlifting. We're 18 years. It stands,
00:33and they have this young woman, and her parents are right where you are in the
00:38front row, and they're so proud of her. And it's like 209 pounds, and she's gonna
00:43lift that. The record stood for 18 — think of it — 18 years. And they put an eighth
00:49of an ounce here, and an eighth of an ounce here, a little tiny little bit. And she's
00:55gonna do it. Mom, I love you. I'm gonna do it for you, Mom. And she goes — and she
01:01goes — and she gets it. Mom, I'm gonna do it, Mom.
01:06Can't do it. And then a guy comes along — or a gal, or whatever — a transitioned person comes along.
01:20And he was a failed weightlifter as a man. But he comes along — 206 pounds. They put the little
01:30thing on, and he goes — boom, boom — and breaks the record like by 119 pounds. That's not right.
01:41Well done.
01:50Well done.
