Ladies and gentlemen, the biggest show on earth
is about to go down.
Step right up.
We have the most spectacular lift.
This car weighs 1,675 pounds, and the apparatus
weighs 400 pounds.
So these guys are lifted 2,075 pounds right now.
Right, up first we have Mr. Robert Oberst--
[APPLAUSE]
--from the US of A.
In order for this to be considered a successful lift,
you have to lift up the weight of the car
and make sure that all four corners are off of the frame.
Mr. Robert Oberst about to lift 2,075 pounds.
Here we go.
Five, four, three, two, one, yeah.
Come on.
[GRUNTING]
Oh, that was only one side.
That was only one side of the car.
You OK to go again, Obie?
Have you hurt your back?
Yeah, let's go again.
This is really dangerous, by the way.
This is a lot of pressure on the spine, on the hips,
on the legs.
Come on!
Let's get it done!
Come one!
Easy.
Come on.
That's it.
I knew there was really no point trying again.
I couldn't get the balance right.
And sooner or later, that's how you get hurt.
Who wants to see Nick Best lift this car?
Lift!
Come on, Nick.
There we go.
This is 2,075 pounds.
Come on, Nick.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Go on!
Go on, Nick.
There it is.
Come on, finish it.
NICK: God damn it.
I don't know what's going on here.
I can't find the balance with this thing.
And if I don't do this in front of my hometown
and in front of my crowd and my friends, I think--
I feel like I'm going to ruin the show.
- Come on, Nick. - Come on, Nick!
- Push. - Come on, Nick.
Come one!
[CHEERING]
I was just--
rah!
Yes!
Yeah.
That'll do.
Yes.
Come on, ladies and gentlemen.
Yeah!
[APPLAUSE]
Ladies and gentlemen, you know what?
We don't call him Nick Best for nothing because he is the best.
Fantastic.
Take a bow, Nick Best.
Take a bow.
I decided to set up a different stunt that
is actually a bigger weight.
Take off the cover.
So what we've got here is a brand-new Ford
Mustang, 3,500 pounds, somewhere in that range.
We're here to put on a show, so I figured,
why not deadlift a car and show the people something different?
So Eddie is going to lift this,
and then I'm going to come in and show Eddie, if he
can't lift it, how to lift it.
Oh.
All right, everybody, this is very heavy.
Please give it up for Eddie "The Beast" Hall!
[APPLAUSE]
Eddie, Eddie.
[CHEERING]
Yeah!
Yeah.
Down.
Good job, dude.
Oh yeah!
Oh!
Easy!
Woo!
Boom! - Eddie.
Yeah!
Eddie Hall, ladies and gentlemen.
Once I saw that Eddie was able to deadlift that car,
I knew that I needed to do something better than him.
Why don't we go with Nick's son, Dylan?
All right, Dylan weighs 175, so we're
adding almost 200 pounds to Brian's lift right here.
Try not to kill Nick's son.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Yes!
[CHEERING]
How does it feel, Brian?
Yeah, it feels awesome!
[LAUGHTER]
Having the guys in Vegas this week
has really reminded me that a big part of being a strongman
is being a performer.
I might be getting older, but that fire
still really burns in me.
