We have not one, but two excellent guests this week. Luke 'The Highland Oak' Stoltman and Tom 'The Albatross' Stoltman (yes, it is compulsory to have a cool strongman name). They are the world's strongest brothers, and their story is incredible. What is more incredible, is the sheer weight of the things they lift, and the amount of calories they consume before they do so. This episode was so good, we had to split it into two parts.
