The number one question we get asked is, how many tries does
it take to make a trick shot?
The number two question-- how are you guys so ripped?
[SCREAMS] Welcome to "World's Strongest Dude."
[CLUB DANGER, "LIVING LEGEND"] I'm a living legend.
Today we have set up four rigorous physical challenges
to determine once and for all who is the strongest dude.
[YELLING]
People say this doesn't happen overnight.
And they're 100% right.
But with two-day shipping, it can
happen in two nights, which is kind of what we did.
Welcome to the 2023 Swole Battle.
First up on the competition, bag throw--
60-pounds bags, 11-foot hurdle.
You clear it, you move on.
You don't, you're out.
All right, boys.
You have 20 seconds.
Cody Jones.
[BELL DINGS]
That'll work.
Boom!
Been working hard, so very excited.
Go for it, Garrett.
Easy breezy.
[BELL DINGS]
Ty.
He went for the one hand, pun intended.
[BELL DINGS]
That will work.
[SLAPPING]
Ah-choo.
Sup, guys.
I'm Cor-- sorry, hold on just a second.
Ah.
Pff, pff, pff.
Get up!
[RECORD SCRATCH]
Oh a wedgie.
Oh, no.
No way!
The timer's counting.
Timer's counting.
A nightmare situation for the swole boy.
I'm going to help you out.
Oh, it didn't go over.
5 seconds left.
Corey has to have this throw.
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
[BELL DINGS]
He's done it.
It took all the juice.
Come on, baby.
I have a pretty devastating shoulder injury
from a recent fight scene.
Really let myself go.
One arm is all I need.
We're out of commission over here.
Who cares, baby?
Get a little swing into it.
Oh, my goodness.
Whoa!
[LAUGHTER]
That was wild.
Some of my most successful performances
have been kind of in the chubby-dubby world.
The, Chubby!
Dubby!
[BELL DINGS]
My strengths are obviously my biceps.
I know you're talking about personality stuff.
Good friend and kind of funny sometimes.
And also my pecs.
[LAUGHS]
Coby-- I think he's been focusing on lifting his fork.
I'm sorry.
I know I shouldn't talk with my mouth full
Fork, mouth, fork, mouth.
He's got that part to figured out.
It's a big sandwich.
[LAUGHS]
Everyone's through the 11-foot hurdle.
On to 12.
That'll work.
[BELL DINGS]
Ha.
[GRUNTS RAPIDLY]
What a dumb question.
What are your strengths?
I don't know.
Can you not tell?
I mean, look at me.
Cory barely clears 11 feet.
Let's see if he can get 12.
[BUZZER]
It's now or never time.
[BUZZER]
That's about all the juice he has.
Cobes, let's get it, baby.
I feel like I more or less have it in the bag.
Come on.
The spin cycle
[SCREAMS]
Yeah!
[BELL DINGS]
More or less.
Come on!
Man.
Come on!
Cory, you've been eliminated.
(SINGING) Watch me move, turn me loose.
[TEST TONE]
On to round two.
(SINGING) I'm a living legend.
Out here in the elements filming Swole Battle for you guys,
quick merch shoutout.
Brand new merch just dropped-- new little hoodie.
Stop looking at the bod.
Just look at the merch.
It looks good in all body types, baby.
Round two-- stone carry.
150-pound boulder, least distance traveled
is eliminated.
Hey, wait a minute.
What are you doing here, boy?
[RECORD SCRATCH]
You look deflated.
I feel deflated.
What happened to your arms?
They're gone.
Come on, Hilbert.
Good legs.
[GRUNTS]
Oh.
And he's off.
He has got this.
Yeah.
So I work out for one thing and one thing only.
And that's to hit bombs down fairways.
And this is where misery sets in, at about midfield.
Yeah.
And to be clear, the only thing I need to lift
is that white little ball that sits on the tee.
Don't you dare take a break, Garrett Hilbert.
You keep going, young man.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1--
100.
And a second wind.
Here we go.
Coming back.
[SHOUTING]
Oh, I did not see that coming.
Joints give out, ligaments give out.
I missed about eight weeks for injury, tore the right pec--
right pec.
Sorry.
[LAUGHS]
121 yards.
Good luck beating that, boys.
Congratulations, Garrett, 121 yards.
Not necessary.
I apologize.
Ty, you're up next.
Let the big dog eat.
Up.
Ooh, good technique.
Oh, he goes really low.
And he's off.
OK.
People are asking me how I was able to carry the rock so well.
It was just a daily routine for me, you know.
When I was only 12 years old, my dad accidentally
built our house in a floodplain and I had to move it by myself.
Physically, I moved the house out of the floodplain.
And that was a lot heavier than the rock.
200.
We're going 300, boys.
Oh, my.
Oh, very well done.
Codes, you're up.
Cody Jones.
You've got to beat 121 yards.
Go.
I wouldn't sit there too long.
This is the epitome of a Pelotoner.
[LAUGHTER]
[GRUNTS]
And he's off.
Just go.
Not only do I think I'm going to make it,
I know I'm going to make it.
Let's go!
Sorry.
It's the preworkout and the supplements and the protein
and then hydrate and all the things.
[LAUGHS]
(SINGING) I'm the best that's ever been.
1 yard away.
(SINGING) I'm a living legend.
[BELL DINGS]
And he passes Garrett by a yard.
122.
No need to overexert here.
[LAUGHS]
[TEST TONE] Miracles still happen.
We've been there before.
You look hilarious.
Why are you still here?
Huh?
No?
Well, it's just--
You got eliminated!
It's funny to watch, OK?
Go home!
(SINGING) I'm on fire.
I'm hot to the touch.
The person not to be looking out for is Coby.
Haven't seen that kid in the gym in years.
He's officially off.
Belly meets boulder.
Let's go Coby.
Look at the belly hanging out from below.
Oh, this isn't good.
Oh, no, it's over.
No.
Oh, it's--
Don't give up!
Coby, I really can't do anything, but I'm here.
Just know I'm here for spirit.
Let's go!
A stop and go.
A stop and go at midfield.
He doesn't have it.
Hey, congrats, boys.
Hold on.
Come on, Coby.
You're almost there!
He pressed the Pause button.
Controller disconnected.
He's got new batteries in, and he's rolling again.
Straight for the goal line, Cobes.
No way.
You drop that stone!
I would argue the strongman competition
is a lot more about what's in here than what's in here.
Hey, you drop that stone!
Yes!
Go!
Go, Coby!
You have 15 more yards.
[CHEERING]
121-- now 5 yards.
No, you drop it now!
Passed 121.
He has done it.
He's done it!
And now he's just showing off.
[BELL DINGS]
[LAUGHTER]
Coby!
[SHOUTING]
Chubby Coby is an absolute certified problem
at this point.
Was I shocked that Coby made it?
Absolutely.
I'd say that's the biggest surprise of the day.
Second biggest shock of the day was the lady coming up to me
in the grocery store while I was shopping for oranges
and asked me if I was Mr. Incredible.
Was I wearing a red spandex shirt that was too small?
Yes.
But it was still shocking at the time,
just because I'm not used to this.
Garrett has been eliminated, only 121 yards.
So Ty, Cody, and Coby will be headed to round three.
(SINGING) I'm a living legend.
I'm on fire.
Onto Hercules hold, round three, and there's only three left--
Chubb Cobes, Cody, Ty.
And if you want to hold a spot in the finale,
you'd better hold on for dear life.
You're going to hold these pillars for as long as you can.
Whatever time is the lowest, that person's out.
All right, Ty, you're first up.
Let's get started.
Thank you, sport.
One thing that I like to do just to get mentally focused
and jazzed up for a competition-- good old
fashioned purple nurples.
[SCREAMS]
(SINGING) I'm a living legend.
[HORN BLOWS]
And we're underway.
Tyler is--
Solid start.
(SINGING) I'm a living legend.
If I know one thing about Ty, he's here to win.
(SINGING) Watch me move, turn me loose.
Let me do--
There's some grimace.
There's some real grimace on the face.
A finale birth on the line.
I don't think he's cold.
I think his arms are tired.
Yeah.
What's the time?
41.5.7.
Powdered donuts for lunch.
That's the key to victory.
That was impressive.
You haven't won a battle in a while.
Is this the longest drought of your career?
Deep sea, you were close, but that was your fault.
[GRUNTS]
Last one.
You've got one more.
Was that on me?
I think so, personally.
OK.
You could have caught more fish.
Going up against Cody-- kind of another big shock to the day.
He kind of looks like a Wii Sports character.
I'm trying to take him serious, but it's hard.
Wait, who said that?
Wait, what?
Ty, was it you?
Easy, easy.
Easy.
(SINGING) I was made, made to win.
Look out, I'm going in.
Tyler's time's in the can, and now Cody Jones is underway.
I mean, he wants to be in the finale.
Look at this guy.
(SINGING) I'm a living legend.
I think he's finding a good mental place.
The Hercules hold is definitely kind of my nemesis.
Hold it.
Physical fortitude by Cody Jones.
Now he's shaking.
I want it!
Oh, he's letting to be known.
He's barking.
The dog's barking.
I know I'm big!
Legs are shaking, arms are shaking,
brain's not working but Jones still going.
Come on!
(SINGING) Let me do what I do.
I'm a living legend.
Give me 2 more seconds, Cody!
[SHOUTS]
Wow.
What a performance.
Wow.
He can't even put on his glasses, brother.
The tall man with a tall performance-- well done, Jones.
52 seconds.
Wow.
Yep.
That means you are safe and through to the finale.
It all comes down to Coby.
Can he bounce Ty?
[RECORD SCRATCH]
Can we do this?
I mean, at this point, can we do this?
I don't know.
Obviously, this is going to be tough.
My strategy is to keep it in a little tighter.
I believe.
Do you guys believe?
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
You don't?
(SINGING) Yeah, yeah.
Thank you.
That's what I needed.
(SINGING) I was made, made to win.
I'm the best that's ever been.
I'm a living legend.
[HORN BLOWS]
The chubb is on the way.
He's fighting.
Yeah!
Anything's possible!
Come on!
Will the shoulder hold up?
That's the grand question.
I find that a lot of the power comes from lower down.
(SINGING) Watch me move, turn me loose.
Let me do--
Go!
(SINGING) I'm a living legend!
Ah!
Oh, the belief was as big as his belly.
What a run, Coby.
The mystique of the chubby-dubby has come to an end.
No!
Finale, bro!
I appreciate it.
Good job.
I appreciate it.
Hats off to Cobes.
I'm going to miss seeing that big old belly out there just
jiggling.
Congrats.
Hey, congrats on making the finale.
Come on, come on.
Hey.
Whoa, hey.
Hey!
(SINGING) 'Cause I like the pain.
I'm on--
Is this the finale?
No, I don't think so.
[GRUNTS]
OK, OK.
We'll find out tomorrow.
[SHOUTS]
Bicep.
Tricep.
Gluteus!
(SINGING) I'm a living legend.
Finale time in Frisco.
Ty Toney, Cody Jones battling out for the Swole Battle
Championship.
It's going to start off with the toilet bowl run, 15 yards.
They'll drop the porta-potties, head to the Atlas stones, 80-,
100-, 120-pound balls.
And then we'll head to the finale,
which is the F-150 tug of war.
And the winner will plant their flag on the Swole Mountain
as the Golden Champion.
Ty, obviously a big favorite tonight.
You let that play into your head--
[SNORTS]
[COUGHS]
[TEST TONE]
No, I try and not let that get to me.
I try not to listen to the haters, the naysayers,
the positive thinkers, really anybody.
I just try and go out there and do my own thing,
and-- also, just a word of advice--
don't chalk up too much before you do one of these.
Your finale moment's about to happen.
Cody Jones-- kind of a inverse David versus Goliath
because it's the taller man who has the very little odds.
You think?
But do you feel like you could possibly
cook up an upset today?
Yeah.
The suit isn't, like, the best look,
but I feel like it's more about what's inside
the suit than the actual suit.
If you perform anything like your muffin biceps here,
we're in trouble.
So good luck to you.
Thank you.
You're going to need it.
I need it.
It's toilet time in Texas.
The Swole Battle finale starts in 3, 2, 1.
And they're off.
[HORN BLOWS]
Yeah, baby.
Toilet.
Ty--
[SHATTERING]
Wow!
Yeah!
We're equal on the Atlas balls.
Mano y mano.
(SINGING) Watch me move, turn me loose, let me do what I do.
Very even.
Tyler done with Atlas stones.
Cody now done with Atlas stones.
It's down to a truck tug of war.
They both get to the F-150 simultaneously.
The F-150 pretty stationary early on.
Y'all are going to be toast.
[LAUGHS]
Jones re-evaluating whether he wanted to be in this finale
or not.
Oh, whoa.
Oh, now Jones with a ferocious pull.
Good leverage play by the 6'6" Jones.
Tyler, the seasoned veteran, catching his breath.
Now with the one-arm technique.
He's going to wrap around.
Nice, TT.
I like that.
Smart.
And now a big pull.
Oh, and that one's healthy.
Get him back, Cody.
A healthy amount of pull.
Now Tyler's got momentum.
Now Tyler is tugging.
Jones on life support.
(SINGING) Watch me move.
[SCREAMING]
And now Jones!
The tall man with the tall effort!
Wow!
This is why you play the game!
This is crazy!
Plowing through it.
[GRUNTS] My hands are bleeding.
Now CoJo.
Can't fault here, Cody.
Ah!
Oh, no.
No, no.
And now he lost some.
Pull, Ty.
Tyler sees an opening.
Using every aspect of his body, Tyler's so close to glory.
Inside 5 yards.
[SCREAMS]
Over the [INAUDIBLE].
Cody, fight him!
Cody.
Is one big pull enough here?
Oh!
Could it be?
So close.
Could it be?
[BELL DINGS]
Got it!
Toney!
Tyler Toney in an epic battle.
[BELL DINGS]
You know, first off, I just want to say thanks to Cody.
He was a great competitor.
I don't really mean that, but I feel like it's a formality.
I have to say it after a competition.
Anyways, I vote we do another one of these.
So I'm going to leave the suit on until then.
Signing off for now.
Pound it.
Noggin.
See you guys.
Hope you have a great one.
[TEST TONE]
By the way, this isn't real.
Look, I'm still chubby under here.
[LAUGHS] It's great.
Pah.
