Episode description

This week, Bain and Stone look into one of the craziest political stories in the history of powerlifting:  the 1998 attempted "takeover" of the WPC.  Back at 1998 WPC Worlds in Austria, APF / WPC Founder and President Ernie Frantz was banned for the meet, with armed guards hired specifically to keep him out of the venue.  In an instant classic "Stone Story," Eric recalls his recent trip to pick-up another monolift.  The phrase "BOTH?" is likely to become a popular meme.  In the "PLUSA Throwback," the boys look at the February 1999 issue of PLUSA, which had the first-person account from Herb Glossbrenner, who was at the 1998 WPC Worlds.
