ROBERT: This week I've set us up to compete in our very own Highland Games, and to take on one of the greatest of all time, Donald Dinnie. The Highland Games are festivals that go back centuries where all the clans would come together. And their strongest men would compete to see who is the fittest and most athletic. The King would choose members of the security and his entourage specifically from those games. This field in Braemar is hallowed ground for Highland Games. This is the Super Bowl of the Highland Games. For our first challenge in Scotland, we're going to challenge Donald Dinnie's record for shot put. Hello, there. How are you doing? Nice to meet you. Having the judges on the field this week means that if any of us were to break a world record, it would actually count. Donald Dinnie threw the Braemar stone 31 feet 7 inches. I mean, 28 pounds is a lot of weight to throw 30 foot. Right, especially with guys like us who've never done it. Yeah. Yeah. But that's kind of what we do. We show up. We take on a legend we're unprepared for. And we win the day. I threw shot as a senior in high school and one year in college. I was actually pretty good at it. In Highland Games, putting the stone is almost exactly like the shot put in America. All right, boys, let's get cracking. Let's do this. - OK. Let's roll. We've got the 31 feet, what Donald Dinnie did back in the day. So who's up first? I'll go first. ROBERT: Get it. All right, Nick, we're going to mark right where you land over here with the judge. 31 feet, brother. Come on. I can't even get my arm in position. That's all my arm goes to. This is it right here. So not my event. [GRUNTING] Nice, Nick. Good job, Nick. Nice, Nick. 23-feet five. Nick went first with a stone put. And his throw was not good. Let's go, Eddie. Nice. Nice throw. 29-feet, 10. 29 feet, 10 inches. Nearly there. I didn't get Donald Dinnie's record for the 28 pound stone. I nearly did it, but just not quite enough momentum. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. But I grabbed it this way because I wanted the thick end on my neck. A little further. A little further? Down. When I first got into the sport, I looked up to Brian. I studied the way he moves. I studied what shoes he wore. I knew what shoes Brian wore before I met him. Keep it on your head as long as possible. And the last thing you do is flick your fingers. I did everything I could to actually emulate what he's done, because his strength grid is one that I can only dream of. Keep it tucked, nice and tight. I knew Robert had done shot put before. So I really wanted to beat him at that because I knew how much it meant to him. [GRUNTING] Nice. Good. 31, 10. Smoked the record, dude. 3 inches is 3 inches. Nice. Yeah. Yes! Brian just smash that. I'm glad that I was able to set the new record. I definitely wanted to beat Robert. You're the one with the Scottish blood in your veins. Yeah. You better beat this now. He's a beast, man. I've been competing against Brian for about four years. I had to work hard to get up to that level where I could compete against Brian. You know, I really want this one. Go get it. All right. Go on. We'll get fired up and go knock this out. Let's go. Here we go. Good job, B. BRIAN: Thanks, guys. Come on, B. Blast this thing. Let's go. Competing against Brian on a regular basis is like constant fuel for me. This actually means a lot to me. So I've got to do this. [GRUNTING] Good. I think that's a record. This one's further. Oh, yes. 34, 11. Oh, wow. Robbie-- There it is. Well, done, there, B. Nice job. You just beat Donald Dinnie's record. ROBERT: Breaking Donald Dinnie's putting the stone record was pretty cool. But beating Brian? That's the cherry on top. You smoked the record, dude. Man, that felt good. I guess you weren't lying about throwing shot put before, huh? Right, right. I thought that was just a story you made up. No, I'm telling you-- With some training, I feel like I could get him. But today, second place, first loser.
