DT needing God for trying to beat AB is the most insane Godspeak I’ve heard in a while.
Best interview I have heard AB do. Very candid on many different subjects.
appreciate it!
I think this was a great interview, and we were lucky to see this. Justin had a connection with Penn State and these guys trust him not to ever put anything they’ve spoken about personally. Good stuff.
Don’t judge others unless you’ve walked miles in their shoes.
This interview was well done and informative. On another note, the negative comments shooting from the hip bashing him scattered throughout speak volumes on why the world is in the condition it is.
Very enlightening interview with Adderall Brooks!
Edit: Aaron* dang auto correct!
haha 😂
😂
Great interview! Great to hear him speak about substance
I’m all for having your own religious beliefs and am a Christian myself. But the context here is a little much. Like David is supposed to become more of a Christian because he saw Aaron “walking on water.” I like Aaron and am happy for his journey but he’s going a bit too far. Just my opinion. Also, it’s competitive in the room at this level. Just what it is, people want an edge. Obviously he is talking about how Jimmy ran the room. I’d like to understand more regarding this.
this was great
Let’s gooooo AB 🐐
We love Aaron Brooks! Great interview!
I love this kid man
Bro I swear to god Bo Nickal is making these guys attack people he don't like 😂😂 it was Jordan Boroughs now David
Why would nickal not like Taylor?
@@FiqqyBlake-lc1od they've had beef for a long time Chael talked about this
So true
@@ozguraydn8407 what’s the beef tho
@@FiqqyBlake-lc1od Not sure but I know They've had some beef in 2019 when Bo was wrestling 92kg at FinalX cuz David was going for 86. But David didn't make the weight or had some issues so Bo had to wrestle J'den Cox and couldn't make the team. They also had other problems as well according to Chael
The fact that Aaron and other athletes truly believe that the Lord is picking them in this athletic event is the most narcissistic belief system I have ever heard. You think God almighty honestly cares about a wrestling match? You were an underdog and pulled it off. Very impressive but not an act of god. Jeez.
You don't know that. I used to think the same thing but then I realized if DT won another olympic gold he'd go proclaim himself to the world when aaron wins he's looking at the whole world and professing Jesus so I could see how God does care about his people and their accomplishments/actions in life.
Who was the underdog?
@@TimM-wk1zx Aaron obviously
@@michaelbradley7621 I just don’t believe God cares about any athletic feat. I also don’t think assuming he has chosen you to win is a healthy state of mind or message to others.
Soo moronic. I think it’s a crutch too but to each their own. I’d say it’s hard work and genetic gifts.
While I am sure Jesus was a big wrestling fan, the scriptures make clear he greatly preferred MMA.
No time stamps for this 50 minute video?!
I need to try to start adding them!
Most creators don’t add the time stamps, there fans normally add them in the comments… So get to Work Garcia
I apologize
Great interview
Basch is big time glazer
big time. almost like, its my podcast?
I would like to hear the reply from these elite guys on Cael’s 159-0 achievement in college. Yeah - I get we might think we know the obvious answer but wondering if they have any unique spin as people at basically the same level.
Haven’t watched yet but did he answer 1 question without bringing up Jesus?!? Love Aaron Brooks the wrestler but man he’s a tough listen whenever he opens his mouth.
You already know the answer. Dude is going to evolve into a self proclaimed end times prophet eventually and cause another Waco
Fantastic interview. I am a little late to watching this after all the talk it generated. This man gets attacked more for using his podium to bring people to the Lord than he would if he decided to wrestle in the women's bracket at the Olympics.
A-A-Ron
“I can do all through Christ and amphetamines who strengthen me”
Prescription for 5 years now 🤦♂️
Ur a 🤡
I wonder if the adderall is to help focus on Jesus
Re - singlet pull. Wonder how many people who criticized the singlet pull point in this match were in favor of the singlet pull point in the JB vs Chance match?
The precedent was set
It feels like college wrestling has become organized religion.
I feel u have no faith
You didn’t know Jesus was all about NCAA wrestling.
Radicalized. They're giving HAMAS a run for their money.
I think many campuses have become breeding grounds for leftist anarchists who are anti Semtic.
I don’t think God cares who wins wrestling matches…Brooks thinking he beat DT so he finds God is quite an angle…weird interview
You don't know that. Think of this: if DT wins an Olympic gold, he's going out there and proclaiming his own glory to the world but aaron will be out there professing jesus.
He didn’t just find god
I can tell Aaron is a little hurt that David didn’t train or help him these past few years because of David wanting to compete against him in these recent Olympic trials and prepared to beat him. I understand why David did that, but, again, think he was a little wounded by it. Just my take on it. I could be wrong. However, we know God does all things for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purposes.
Yeah, to be a little butt hurt about a guy not wanting to train daily with a young dude who you know is your top rival, isn't something that an adult with his knowledge should be hurt by.
@@bradyhiatt1973 you obviously don’t understand culture and the impact that it can have to look up to someone knowing they are avoiding you and training against you for 2 years. And who said he was butt hurt? Brooks is the guy who has the spot at that weight, so….😅
@@Tdinh79 he's speaking emotionally not logically -- and even with the spot, still has to take shots at him. Sad.
and I think you are spot on that he was "hurt" by DT not wrestling with him the past couple years -- and thus the "butt hurt" comment. AB taking shots at DT here. Has DT ever been anything but complimentary publicly about him? If he was privately different, then that, IMHO, should be worked out between them two privately. His airing it publicly -- and second reason for the "butt hurt" comment.
@@bradyhiatt1973 I don’t feel he is taking shots, but giving us insight on stuff behind the scenes that interests the listeners. Personally, I appreciate the insight on his take on it. I enjoy listening to stuff like this that we are unaware of. Like I said, I was just giving my opinion on it and I could be completely wrong.
DT was just not on his game. That said, AB took advantage of it, and won 2 straight matches.I hope he wins gold. He will teach and train a whole new generation of great wrestlers, like Cael and DT did.
Zahid got robbed and you know it
@@salvajeasp757 Well, I've seen matches I wished had gone differently. Personally, I like AB, but, if Zahid wants his due, he will come back and take it. I only want the best for the sport.
@@kc696969 IMO he should represent Mexico like his brother. No reason to represent USA if he’s not gonna get a fair shot
Brook is destined to cause another Waco situation.
@@Abettergrappler Please tell me what you know about Waco? What you read in the newspaper or heard from Dan Rather? Sorry but I find comments like your's to be rather sad.
W Aaron Brooks
Did you ask about ped?
Uh, yeah! Did you listen?
Was it a PED? 🤦♂️🤡
This guy kind of rubs people the wrong way. He is young though so maybe he'll improve.
Future Olympic Gold Medalist
Hope so! Goodluck AB
Don't see him beating Yazdani
Screw Brooks, DT is a Poke now 👈🤠👉
one thing I'm learning from the past couple of months of wrestling news: Carter Starocci, Aaron Brooks, and Bo Nickal are some haters. I'm huge fans of all 3, but the amount of undue disrespect towards legends like David Taylor and Jordan Burroughs from these 3 is astounding
This is utterly disgusting and appalling: Aaron Brooks digging into David Taylor's rectum-that deep-is shocking and reprehensible. I am extremely disappointed and appalled by the recent match where Brooks resorted to such highly questionable and illegal tactics, specifically "oil checking." This act, which involves invasive and deeply inappropriate contact where one defecates, is not just illegal in the sport of wrestling but also a gross violation of the principles upon which sportsmanship is built.
This tactic-where one wrestler forcibly invades the personal and private space of another, akin to inserting a panther paw into the opponent's singlet to disrupt their core muscle stability and concentration-is deeply disturbing. It's not just about the unfair advantage it momentarily provides by distracting or disabling the opponent; it's akin to the methods used to stop an aggressive animal. This behavior might happen accidentally in the heat of the moment, but the deliberate and deep invasion by Brooks with more than just one finger is a predatory act that degrades the sport's integrity and shows outright disrespect to fellow athletes.
Actions like these not only pose a risk of physical harm but also tarnish the reputation of the sport. They send a dangerous message that could influence young, impressionable athletes, potentially putting our children at risk. This is not just a breach of sporting conduct; it's behavior that borders on the sexual violation of an opponent, something we should all stand against to protect our children and the sanctity of sports.
Athletes, coaches, and officials must all hold themselves and each other to the highest standards to ensure that wrestling remains a respected and fair competitive sport. The governing bodies of wrestling must take stringent measures against such misconduct. There must be a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated, with appropriate penalties applied to discourage future occurrences. Furthermore, this incident should lead to broader discussions about sportsmanship, the enforcement of rules, and the ethical training of athletes to foster an environment where fair play is at the forefront.
This sport is about more than just winning. It's about how you play the game, how you respect your opponent, and how you honor the tradition of wrestling. Let's not allow the pursuit of victory to degrade the nobility of this great sport. We must demand better from our athletes and from the institutions that govern our sports.
So you are publicly saying his actions were intentional?
When is ur next counseling session?
Sour grapes
He’s not out of line at all. He’s speaking his truths and you speak and worry about yours.
He said it was a miracle that he beat Taylor and that miracle should make Taylor and others close to Taylor now have the same beliefs as him. That goes way beyond him talking about how his belief in something helped him mentally. That is getting into delusions of grandeur territory and he deserves whatever pushback he gets from it.
@@christopherroth7239 U sound jewish
I will never question one’s testimony. I think he has respect for DT, a lot, and I feel he’s speaking his testimony only here. Plus, we are not in the rooms, we don’t know the dynamics.
@@matthewkelly6781believing his win should make his opponent have the same beliefs as him is delusional
Love AB but he can never give a direct answer. He talks around a lot of subjects every interview I see 😂. Like he says so much but it confuses you and makes you forget what hes spose to be talking about
He has his own CZcams channel talking deeply based upon his well demonstrated research. However I suspect you don't want to hear his message.
If the Iranian beats Aaron, will that be a sign that Jesus favors followers of Mohammad? Aaron will one day get old and be replaced by a younger man. If that person is not a follower of Jesus, what will that mean? Father Time is undefeated. Jesus is not.
Really unimpressed with brooks show of character in this interview. Implied accusations, claiming Taylor might be trying to coach as a fall back despite being on record for a long time he wanted to coach. I’ve always thought higher of him
What if he's saying the truth and not accusing Taylor? Do you know Taylor personally?
@@ozguraydn8407even if it is so what? Don't gotta throw shade about it. That's not Christian like of him
@@ozguraydn8407 How would he be "telling the truth?" Does Aaron know what's inside David's head/heart? No, he's giving his opinion and implying David just took this job so "his name wouldn't be connected to losing to me."
@@brick295 David sending his guys to film Aaron and doing all sort of things is just dirty man. He did the same to Bo back in the days. I don't trust people who are always "Nice" anyways. If someone is always nice and has no edge in their personality I just know they're the biggest snakes
@@ozguraydn8407 AB didn't say DT sent guys to film him. He said they manipulate practice so they can sit and watch me. They practice in the same exact room as each other, David wouldn't need to "send" anybody, and AB is talking about basically DT and Jimmy Kennedy here (seems like he's not talking about Gilman since he says he's "one who I can say is a man of honor"). I'm not sure how anybody could "manipulate" the practice or why they would need to do so in order to watch AB. I'm sure DT, Dake, Snyder, Gilman, etc are allowed to sit in the corner whenever they want during practices. I doubt Cael is forcing senior level athletes to follow a set schedule during practices. The only thing I've ever heard about Bo was when David was hurt and didn't plan to go to worlds and nobody told Bo who went up to 92kg for no reason
I'd heard he talked some smack, but I had no idea it was to this level. I don't believe god decides who wins wrestling matches and I definitely don't believe god helps you beat someone so that they will believe in the god you believe in. If that were the case, Brooks very well may return from Paris as a Muslim.
A bit too thick with the religion. Dude its just a sport. God doesn't care who wins a wrestling match. Get over yourself.
I’m glad he’s not allowed to have an opinion or have his faith in order. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤡🤡
@@TimM-wk1zxwho said he can’t have an opinion. The comment was about the opinion
God cares about every one of his people . If wrestling is a part of him bringing Glory to God. Of course God cares
Right! 😂🤣😂
The comment was about it being too much….i bet you and ur wife never have that convo.
Terrible interviewer, why tf didn’t you ask him about how Zahid got robbed blind in their match at the trials?????
Was that AB’s fault….wasnt it reviewed? 🧐🤡
@@TimM-wk1zx it was ABs fault he wrestled like trash and lost to Zahid but the ref saved him
Zahid absolutely did not get robbed blind lol. There was a clear singlet pull + AB prob should’ve had more points on the board from their action in the first period. The better wrestler undoubtedly won
@@samcooper4024 absolutely not. The better wrestler scored the bigger move. Which was Zahid. AB needed several points from the ref
I love all the non Christians in the comments giving their delightful opinion 🤣🤣. The kid is a stud and believes in God. Let him be and stop hating.
Brooks is bullshit.
Guy is going a little Jon Jones.
If he is so calm and wise because god and the holy spirit then why the fuck does he need Vyvanse
gosh this elementary view of Jesus is exhausting. Brooks clearly doesn’t understand how faith works and doesn’t have a clear interpretation of scripture. These underhanded insults masquerading as compliments are so shallow lmao
Aaron Brooks doesn’t get to decide whose hearts are hardened ! I think highly of Aaron but, he’s getting out of line !
I’m glad he’s not allowed to have an opinion. 🤦♂️🤡
@@TimM-wk1zx Christians shouldn’t judge. By the way, there was no need for the condescending emojis.
AB was giving an OPINION, not judging. 🤦♂️🫏

Are you kidding me with ur reply….ur assuming it was intentional? If it was illegal, do you think it would have been called?
Ur diatribe is off base.
Imo their is some animosity between Ab n DT this is just my opinion based on his words n vocal tone when referring to DT n his ppl
He's mad DT didn't come to any of his 10 daily bible studies.
