<v Speaker 1>Want to go with this, Corey, is you know what

12
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:30.039
<v Speaker 1>this tournament has turned into?

13
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:30.839
<v Speaker 2>What it's become.

14
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.159
<v Speaker 1>You guys have people from all over, so kind of

15
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.640
<v Speaker 1>give me a rundown some of the folks who have

16
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>traveled the furthest to be here and be a part

17
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:39.320
<v Speaker 1>of this tournament.

18
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 3>Look, so we got people from California, New York, Kansas, Chicago, Australia, Canada, Japan,

19
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:54.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean literally all over the United States. But we

20
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:58.799
<v Speaker 3>got a ton of people from all over that want

21
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.079
<v Speaker 3>to do sumo in Solina.

22
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy.

23
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think this thing has turned into a

24
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.239
<v Speaker 1>tournament that someone from Australia, Like I met Goose from Australia.

25
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.319
<v Speaker 1>Great dude, why would goose from Australia want to come

26
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:12.400
<v Speaker 1>to this tournament.

27
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 2>So the way.

28
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 3>We format this tournament is a little different than most tournaments.

29
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Most tournaments work exactly like every other combat sports tournament,

30
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 3>like single elimination, double elimination, Roller Towns Showdown. Sumo tournament

31
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:33.280
<v Speaker 3>is more like an homage to professional sumo. So in Japan,

32
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:37.840
<v Speaker 3>whenever they're doing professional sumo, they do a tournament every

33
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.640
<v Speaker 3>other month starting in January, and you fight once a

34
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 3>day for fifteen days in a row, every day all fifteen.

35
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.359
<v Speaker 3>We wanted to emulate that by doing fifteen matches in

36
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 3>one day.

37
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:52.799
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

38
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.200
<v Speaker 3>So a lot of the times when you go to

39
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 3>these tournaments, unfortunately, maybe you're having a bad day and

40
00:01:58.920 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 3>you drop two matches.

41
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Sayinara, that's it.

42
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:06.400
<v Speaker 3>I just flew to Florida or wherever, and I my

43
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:07.760
<v Speaker 3>first two matches weren't that great.

44
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:13.439
<v Speaker 2>Here, you're guaranteed fifteen matches. The day of and the.

45
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.599
<v Speaker 3>Day before today Friday, we do a training session and

46
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.159
<v Speaker 3>we ask that you do a minimum of ten and

47
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:24.039
<v Speaker 3>up to fifteen so you get your money's worth. It's

48
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.800
<v Speaker 3>for we like to say this one's for the boys. Okay, obviously,

49
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:34.240
<v Speaker 3>it's unix. The women are invited, but in the general sense,

50
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:35.400
<v Speaker 3>it's for the boys.

51
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 2>It's for people who.

52
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:42.080
<v Speaker 3>Love sumo who want to fight it. It's it's been

53
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker 3>called the best sumo tournament, the best party disguised as

54
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 3>a psumoto.

55
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:48.400
<v Speaker 2>I like that.

56
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:52.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so, I you know, one of my favorite things.

57
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 1>First of all, I didn't really know what to expect,

58
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.199
<v Speaker 1>But then when you watch the matches, you realize that

59
00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>they're so short because if somebody gets pushed out of

60
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:01.639
<v Speaker 1>that circle, it's over, and so they don't go on

61
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>for It's not like a wrestling event like American wrestling

62
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.240
<v Speaker 1>anything like that. And then when you have guys from

63
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 1>different weight classes squaring off against each other, that's a

64
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of fun too. And so one of my favorite

65
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.120
<v Speaker 1>memories from this tournament is you had like the biggest

66
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.319
<v Speaker 1>guy in the tournament fighting the smallest guy, and he's

67
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.919
<v Speaker 1>just pushing him out of the circle as if you know,

68
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>he's a wafer thin cracker that fell on the floor.

69
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 1>And then the little tiny kid grabbed onto the giant's

70
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.439
<v Speaker 1>leg and held on like it was a tree trunk,

71
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>and he couldn't shake him off and get him out

72
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>of the circle. Like the whole place. He erupted and

73
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 1>went crazy, and that's an experience I never would have expected.

74
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.680
<v Speaker 2>But that's kind of the magic of this tournament, right totally.

75
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:44.840
<v Speaker 3>So in professional zoom professional sumo, there are no weight classes.

76
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.759
<v Speaker 3>In amateur sumo, what we do whenever you go to

77
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 3>a tournament, maybe a national tournament or whatever. Of course,

78
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.800
<v Speaker 3>there still is open weight at the end of the tournament,

79
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.280
<v Speaker 3>but there are weight classes, and we wanted to do

80
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 3>open weight open gender. Doesn't matter who you are, what

81
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.199
<v Speaker 3>you rep, come lay it out on the dohill that

82
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:07.759
<v Speaker 3>and by the way, the doho is what we do

83
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:09.199
<v Speaker 3>sumo in. It's that circle.

84
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:11.639
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was like a way that rappers talk

85
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>about money.

86
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:18.199
<v Speaker 2>Give me the dough yo. Yeah. Uh so that's that's

87
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:18.839
<v Speaker 2>the fun part.

88
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:23.439
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't matter it little can beat big and he

89
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:25.240
<v Speaker 3>It happens all the time.

90
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.800
<v Speaker 2>That's the beauty of open weight, all right. So right

91
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:29.720
<v Speaker 2>in front of you, that's Gaga Maru right there right.

92
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Did I pronounce his name? C Yeah?

93
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:35.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, an absolute legend uh sumo wrestler, legendary

94
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:38.079
<v Speaker 1>sumo wrestler. But if you look at him right now,

95
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 1>he looks so fit and so thin. You know, he

96
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.319
<v Speaker 1>was autographing some pictures where he was much larger. So

97
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>how heavy was he? And what is the diet of

98
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>a Japanese professional sumo wrestler of that size? So?

99
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.160
<v Speaker 3>Uh, Goago Gaga used to be very very heavy, like

100
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 3>I think, uh four one hundred kilograms. I'm I'm not

101
00:04:59.000 --> 00:04:59.879
<v Speaker 3>sure where that translations.

102
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't do a metrics.

103
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:05.839
<v Speaker 3>But big boy, yeah, big boy all the way from

104
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 3>the country of Georgia competing in Japanese professional sumo wrestling.

105
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 2>He held his own. He did great.

106
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.279
<v Speaker 3>Uh generally, I mean it's just car bloating and it's

107
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:20.120
<v Speaker 3>a lot of beer. So normally, normally a normal day

108
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 3>in sumo and sumo is it's like joining the military,

109
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:24.720
<v Speaker 3>becoming a monk.

110
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:26.680
<v Speaker 2>That's all you do. You don't have another job.

111
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 3>You wake up in the morning on an empty stomach,

112
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:31.199
<v Speaker 3>maybe have some coffee or whatever, and.

113
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.639
<v Speaker 2>Then you're kicking each other's butts for hours.

114
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:36.480
<v Speaker 3>And then after that, eat as much as possible, drink

115
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.639
<v Speaker 3>as much as possible, take a big old fat nap.

116
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.319
<v Speaker 2>After you wake up from that, eat more, sleep more,

117
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.639
<v Speaker 2>wake up again, wake up, do it all over again.

118
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:47.879
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like the life of a bear it really,

119
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:52.000
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying. Yeah, man, living the good life.

120
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.480
<v Speaker 1>There's our buddy Corey from Dallas Sumo Club. So we're

121
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a draft right after the show and then

122
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:01.360
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna so it's going to be teams like East

123
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 1>first West or what how does it separate it?

124
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:05.160
<v Speaker 2>So that's exactly what it is.

125
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.480
<v Speaker 4>It again, it's an homage to pro sumo, and in

126
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:14.800
<v Speaker 4>professional sumo there's there's no teams. I mean, there's groups

127
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.360
<v Speaker 4>that practice together and stuff stables.

128
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:22.600
<v Speaker 3>And we wanted to make a little homage to the

129
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.639
<v Speaker 3>East and West sides on professional sumo. Generally the better

130
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:27.639
<v Speaker 3>people go on the East.

131
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Uh so my team will be the East.

132
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I think yours is the East Road.

133
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Let's go. I know, I think it was Yeah, I

134
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:40.839
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I did wait last year he is East. Sorry,

135
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:42.959
<v Speaker 2>we had a blockbuster trade last year too. Oh, I

136
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 2>remember we had a big trade. So it is a.

137
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.920
<v Speaker 3>Team tournament and a solo tournament at the same time.

138
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:52.399
<v Speaker 3>You want to accumulate those points for your team by winning.

139
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.160
<v Speaker 3>The more points you win, the better your team does,

140
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.720
<v Speaker 3>and the losing team buys the winning team of beer

141
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:03.439
<v Speaker 3>at this tradition at Rollertown Showdown Sumo tournament.

142
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:04.439
