1. - What if I told you that true strength comes from within.

2. That beneath this seemingly hard shell,

3. lies a tender, delicate, and vulnerable crustacean.

4. And what if I told you it was all

5. about to crack.

6. Tonight, we'll explore the tale of an athlete

7. at the top of his game and just how far the fall

8. from the top can be.

9. But, the story of Larry the Lobster

10. can't be measured in mere sets and reps,

11. it's measured in heart.

12. I'm Kent Shocknek and this is "SpongeBob Docupants."

13. Ah, Goo Lagoon, a stinky mud puddle for you and me,

14. but, to the residents of Bikini Bottom,

15. a wonderful, stinky mud puddle.

16. - Goo Lagoon was the place to be.

17. It was tranquil, relaxing, people just want there

18. to have fun.

19. But, some people had a different definition of fun.

20. - Locals, SpongeBob SquarePants and Sandy Cheeks

21. were having a relaxing afternoon

22. when one simple question started a chain of events

23. that no one could see coming.

24. - "You guys wanna lift some weights?"

25. Of course that's what Larry said.

26. Now this guy, this guy was a machine.

27. Always training, always putting in the work.

28. Now his idea of a day off was exercising,

29. but, just at the beach.

30. Man, to me, that sorta dedication is inspiring.

31. But others, well, they didn't see it that way.

32. - Kent] Reluctantly, SquarePants agreed

33. to turn his day in the sun into pulse-pounding,

34. high-stakes, weightlifting showcase.

35. - This wasn't just a casual workout,

36. there was a crowd.

37. People were watching, people were cheering.

38. I don't think SpongeBob knew what he got himself into.

39. I was like wait, are they in the same weight class?

40. Was he somehow pre-registered for this competition?

41. It was very confusing to say the least.

42. - Sandy was a good sport about it.

43. After all, a mammal's strength is the real deal

44. and she banged out a few reps with ease

45. and the audience loved it.

46. But, Larry, always the competitor,

47. grabbed the biggest barbell out there

48. and cleaned it right over his head.

49. Perfect form and the crowd ate it up.

50. - Larry was just amazing.

51. He made it look so easy.

52. At one point, he even wedged a bar in between the bleachers

53. and lifted the crowd itself.

54. You just have to see it to believe it.

55. - When all eyes finally shifted to the simple sponge,

56. he assumed the position above his barbell of choice.

57. A stick, and—

58. - He ripped his pants.

59. In front of the whole beach.

60. I mean, can you imagine how embarrassing

61. that must have been.

62. I mean the guy was trying to lift up

63. an entire stick with two marshmallows attached,

64. for Neptune's sake, I mean, cut him some slack.

65. - I was embarrassed for SpongeBob.

66. I mean he's surrounded by these muscle heads

67. and one of his closest friends,

68. and then this happens, it was humiliating.

69. At least he took it in stride.

70. - Unsure of what to do next,

71. SpongeBob proceeded to rip his pants over

72. and over again throughout the day.

73. A simple coping mechanism designed

74. to mask the inner turmoil and devastation,

75. Larry's innocent proposition seemed to bring.

76. - Now look, I don't know this for sure,

77. but, I bet that this was the moment

78. that the rivalry between Larry

79. and SpongeBob really got started.

80. I mean Larry one upped SpongeBob in front

81. of the entire beach.

82. SpongeBob just wanted to be loved and adored by everybody

83. and this ripped pants debacle really put that into question.

84. - Look, you can't take this sorta thing personally.

85. Larry is a competitor.

86. What else do you expect him to do?

87. In life, there's winners and losers.

88. That day Larry won, SpongeBob lost.

89. End of story.

90. - But, it's not the end of this story.

91. As time passed, the wounds of that fateful day

92. at Goo Lagoon began to heal,

93. but when a new business venture put Larry the Lobster

94. in hot water, the pain of the past would rear its ugly

95. and proud head once more.

96. - Everyone was so excited the day that Larry announced

97. he was opening a gym.

98. You should of seen the swarm of flacid muscles

99. and sagging flesh that gathered outside,

100. it was disgusting.

101. Larry was thrilled.

102. It was this culmination of his lifelong dream

103. to have a place that he could workout every day.

104. - Larry really did things right in opening up a new gym.

105. He had state-of-the-art equipment,

106. intense and demanding group classes,

107. and only offered lifetime memberships.

108. See to him, you don't just join a gym

109. for a period of time, you join for life.

110. Now in hindsight, that might have been his biggest mistake.

111. - At the grand opening, Larry let everybody in for free.

112. You should have seen Mr. Krabs that day,

113. he thought the equipment was free

114. and started trying to pull it all out

115. which was classic Krabs, but, needless to say,

116. the members of Bikini Bottom were hyped about this.

117. The gym was packed

118. and it couldn't have gone much better for Larry.

119. - As droves of would-be BuffPants' flooded

120. into the facility, Larry recognized

121. a familiar face attempting to open the gym doors.

122. His former rival, SpongeBob SquarePants.

123. - Personally I was shocked that SpongeBob

124. would show his face at Larry's gym.

125. Now the last time he was in this situation

126. with heavy weights and Larry?

127. It really didn't work out so well for him.

128. It was a bold move.

129. - SpongeBob couldn't even get through the door.

130. He pulled and pulled, but it just wouldn't open,

131. turns out it was an automatic door

132. and you had to step on the floor mat to activate it.

133. But still, this display of weakness was a rough start

134. for this new chapter.

135. - This is when I first realized that SpongeBob

136. was just as much a competitor as Larry.

137. Now most people would have been done with fitness

138. after ripping their pants like SpongeBob did,

139. but not this kid.

140. Now he was back and he was ready for more.

141. - Inspired by SpongeBob's determination,

142. Larry the Lobster took him under his claw

143. as his fitness protege.

144. Together, they would embark on a journey

145. that would test the true strength of them both.

146. - Larry has three major rules if you train with him.

147. Always be hydrated.

148. He says it all the time.

149. It's one of his core fitness beliefs.

150. So right away, he put a water bottle

151. in SpongeBob's hands and he never let him put it down.

152. The kid was soaking it all up.

153. - With a move that was sure to salt the wounds

154. of memories past, Larry's first training session

155. with SpongeBob began with a familiar exercise.

156. - This one was shocking to me.

157. Larry put SpongeBob right back on the spot with this one.

158. But, instead of a stick with two marshmallows,

159. this time it was,

160. a cotton swab with two cotton balls attached,

161. which was a punch to the gut.

162. The crowd was a little bit smaller this time,

163. but I bet you every single one of them was wondering,

164. is this guy gonna rip his pants again?

165. - Candidly, I kinda wanted

166. to see SpongeBob rip his pants again.

167. Don't get me wrong, I love him

168. and I would never wish anything bad upon him,

169. but, the irony of the whole situation

170. would have just been hilarious.

171. Instead, Larry handed him a cotton swab dumbbell

172. and it was so heavy that it flattened SpongeBob's arms

173. and pinned him to the ground.

174. Larry definitely had his work cut out for him.

175. - You don't know the half of it.

176. - You just had to see it, yeah.

177. - As the weeks passed,

178. Larry soon learned the struggles of running

179. a small business firsthand.

180. His insistence on members

181. signing lifetime contracts resulted

182. in mountains of paperwork.

183. His resolve was tested.

184. - Look, Larry solved most of his problems with his charm

185. and his muscles.

186. But, you can't just bench press paperwork

187. and expect your business to stay afloat.

188. I mean he was drowning.

189. He lost sight of why he opened the gym in the first place,

190. to have a place for himself to workout every day.

191. He wasn't doing that.

192. - It was pretty rough seeing Larry at the gym at this point.

193. He was always hunched over at his desk

194. and he was just typing and typing, filing and filing.

195. I was used to seeing Larry

196. with this perfectly chiseled physique

197. and this time, let's just say,

198. it wasn't perfectly chiseled.

199. - It was true.

200. After weeks of neglecting his physique

201. while trying to run a business,

202. Larry the Lobster had become, plump.

203. But, the shock of this realization would soon

204. be undercut by the transformation

205. of his once rival turned protege, SpongeBob SquarePants.

206. - Remember, SpongeBob was in it.

207. He was working out all the time and staying hydrated,

208. super hydrated, it was Larry's number one rule after all.

209. But, Larry, well, he seemed to have forgotten SpongeBob

210. was, well, a sponge.

211. And sponges really soak that water up.

212. - He was huge.

213. SpongeBob walked through that door

214. and he was twice as tall, eight-pack abs,

215. completely shredded, it was stunning, he looked so good.

216. It was almost too much for Larry to take.

217. - Imagine the scene.

218. Larry, a guy who does weightlifting competitions

219. on the beach, is now a weak, sagging mess.

220. And SpongeBob?

221. He's in peak physical form.

222. All those feelings of failure and weakness

223. from Goo Lagoon, they got completely turned on their head.

224. - Realizing his time was up as the alpha male

225. of the gym, Larry attempted to give his crown to SpongeBob,

226. but, once again, the crustacean was shocked

227. at what transpired.

228. - SpongeBob didn't even want the crown.

229. He didn't want this new found strength.

230. Sure, he gained a bunch of muscle mass,

231. but he lost the thing that he loved the most

232. and that was his ability to work at the Krusty Krab.

233. - Oh yeah, I saw it, SpongeBob was too strong.

234. He left the Krusty Krab in shambles.

235. He broke the griddle.

236. He was flipping patties onto the ceiling.

237. At one point he even busted through the kitchen door

238. because his frame was so big.

239. But, if this was the cost of being a BuffPants,

240. SpongeBob was not willing to pay.

241. - With a teary confession,

242. SpongeBob admitted he didn't wanna workout anymore

243. and missed his old life at the Krusty Krab.

244. In a moment of catharsis for both Sponge and Lobster,

245. the two shared a bro hug, or brug,

246. as SpongeBob coined it.

247. - Look, Larry did not like the word brug, all right.

248. I just want that to be known.

249. Wasn't a fan of brug.

250. I don't really like it either.

251. So, let's just stop saying the word brug.

252. - The brug provided a sense of comfort

253. for the pair as both had been through so much change.

254. However, it would soon be clear

255. that Larry's true strength never left him.

256. - And what was Larry's number one rule?

257. Always be hydrated.

258. SpongeBob had been guzzling water for such a long time

259. that by the time Larry's claws wrapped around him,

260. everything came rushing out.

261. The mess was inconvenient for sure,

262. but, that brug, changed everything.

263. - SpongeBob was completely wrung out.

264. He shrunk back to his normal size in seconds,

265. it was incredible.

266. Sure, Larry was still pretty outta shape,

267. but now that there wasn't another alpha male around,

268. suddenly he was back on top.

269. - With his pathway to glory now clear,

270. Larry burst into a fit of laughter.

271. Laughter quickly turned to crunches,

272. and crunches quickly turned to abs.

273. His arms flexed with the triumph of a man tested

274. and his heart set on never losing sight

275. of the lesson learned.

276. It's what's on the, outside, that counts?

277. - I think about that day at Goo Lagoon all the time.

278. I mean the confusion, the sadness, the humiliation.

279. But, now looking back, these two weren't rivals at all.

280. They just needed a good brug,

281. a really good brug.

282. They're just two underwater creatures looking

283. for their place to swim.

284. For SpongeBob, it was and always will be

285. the Krusty Krab.

286. And for Larry, it's the gym.

287. But, either way, they both will, forever,

288. have a home in our hearts.
