Hi, America. Biershenk here just checking in. It's been about six months since I found for the Big Break. And as you can see I've lost 30 pounds. This is the new more fit, more driven Shank. I give all the credit to my roommate Carl, my Compadre, my brother, my boy. He inspired me. He changed my work ethics. He made me come back to my golf range and hire me some help. -It's about 9:30 at night. Shank has been picking up nuggets all day, about 30,000 of them. Had to get ready for this crew I hired to cut my grass. I work in third shift for the Shankster. I used to do it by myself. Didn't get any in both. I got to get better. I want to get better. I got to eat nuggets. I got get off that lawnmower. It took me a week to cut 40 acres. Hey, I'm gonna take these boys for 4 hours to cut my grass. I'm gonna get me some practice time now baby. This is Nick Biershenk, my younger brother. About 1:00 in the morning. He's been running his Masters. He's got a better short game than I do. -Who cut this green? -I do. -No dummy. You got to keep going [unk]. I ain't seeing that you go [unk]. -Dumb and Dumber. That's the smartest one out here right here. -We're playing for push-ups. This is how you're getting the shank. -Look like Arnold Schwarzenergger by the time I get done with it. -Yeah. What's wrong with it? -Oh Lord. -All right, Carl. Here I come. I keep putting this dog on magician over here. -One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. There you go. -Pretty good one. -There you go. -Now all I got to do is go get a permit for that gun. On my way to the gym, getting my work out on. Almost 10:00 in the morning. I slept in. I had to cut grass last night. I didn't get to sleep at about 2 so I sweat in. I couldn't get up at 4:30 like Carl. You got more discipline than I do pal. I respect you. But Shank needed a little bit of sleep, but we're about to get our groove on chief 'cause I am trying to look like Carl [unk]. Coming at you, Carl. You're a bad boy. It's a hard work son. But you've motivated me so. I didn't drop 27 pounds. Man, I got it turned it into muscle. That 289 yard shot or whatever you hit over that water. It didn't come for my fat boy. -I feel like I'm hitting my drive, freaking losing 10 pounds. -You got to have motivation, dedication, concentration, all the T-I-O-N. It's hardwork. If you want it, you got to go get it. Peace out. -Can you help it if you wanna look good chief? -All right. -Mr. Carl thought me best bro. Yeah. A little salmon, a little chicken. You are what you eat. But I ain't no chicken. -I learn for my roommate Carl if you're in good in shape, physically. then you're that much stronger mentally. That man has some clutch golf shots through out that show. That really, really impressed me. And for a man that's been playing golf for 6 years, I have to say his advantage was mentally and physically. So you know something, if I've been playing golf for 30 and if I were to improve physically and mentally, then I'll know that I can get that much better of site. So Carl, I wanna thank you for motivating me and inspiring me and being a good friend. You've changed my life for the good. -Hi boy. -Carl, you ain't the only one I can play nine holes in 45 minutes. I can't do it. The only difference is I carry my bag, you push yours. Get you some of this, son.
