Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles A couple of weeks ago, we introduced a new segment called "Can You Do That." It's a thing, where tWitch and I have to guess whether an audience member can actually do what they say they can do. We met a young man with a talent that blew us away. Take a look. My name is Christopher Joyce I'm from the Bronx. And I'm a caretaker for my father. What can you do? I do a handstand on weights. [CHEERS] No. How? Woo! Wow! Oh! Oh, my God! I was so impressed. I wanted to learn more about him. From the Bronx, New York, please welcome Christopher Joyce. That was amazing. Thank you. I mean, when you said you could do that, I didn't picture that at all. I don't know what I was picturing. But have you always been this naturally strong? Well when I was younger, I wanted to be really strong. You know, I'm from the Bronx. So it's tough there. Yep. So they have these competitions, where it's like Bronx versus Brooklyn versus Queens. Staten Island. And they do like, who could do the most pull-ups, who could do the almost push-ups, handstands. And I wanted to be different and original. Right. So I went to the gym, and I started practicing on dumbbells and barbells. I wanted to be the best at that, so I did it every day. Wow. And you-- I don't know what could be better than that. So how often do you train and workout? What do you do? I train Monday through Fridays. And I rest Saturday and Sundays. And I train 5:00 AM every day. Because at the gym, you know, it's more freedom. And I can grab more weights without no one, you know, having a problem. And my dad, you know, he's sick and everything. So I like to come back before he wakes up. So it's better for me to go earlier. And then, when I come back, everything is good. I get to take care of him. And then, I take a nap. And I train again. So I train twice a day. Oh, wow. And I train at home for my second time. And how many push can you do? I used to could do 200 straight. But now because I've been eating a lot, and stress and everything, I can only do like 130 straight. Oh, only 130. Oh. Wow. Slacking off. Wow. So you said your caretaker-- what is wrong with your dad? My dad, he has a rare spinal problem. Uh-uh. So it's kind of forcing him to be paralyzed. So the doctors recommended a surgery to try to help. And so, you know, we've just been taking care of him. And it's pretty tough. Because that's the person that I first did my push-ups with. That's the person I raced with when I was younger and always looked up to. And to now see him weak and stuff-- Yeah. --you know, makes me sad. But my mom, she always tells me like, Chris, just use your pain as motivation. And so I've been trying to like go for my goals more and train more again. And yeah. Just-- Because you're a full-time caretaker. Yeah. I'm a full-time caretaker. But what's your ultimate goal? What do you want to do? My ultimate goal is to be in commercials and to inspire people who is also like me, who comes from similar backgrounds, who, you know, have it hard, who don't have all the resources. Yeah. And I want to showcase my talent in commercials and other places to let them know they can do it too. Yeah. Well, you should do that. For sure. All right. We're going to take a break. And you're going to perform when we come back. OK. All right. We'll be back. We're back with the very, very strong Christopher Joyce. And all right. Just something's happening. I don't know what. But do something. OK. I'm going to start with this stairs. All right. OK. Oh, start with the stairs. Yeah. [MUSIC PLAYING - KANYE WEST, "POWER"] No one man should have all that power. The clock's ticking, I just count the hours. Stop tripping. I'm tripping off the power. You short-minded thoughts is Napoleon. My furs is Mongolian. My ice brought the goldies in. Now I embody every characteristic of the egotistic. He knows. He's so gifted. I just need time alone with my own thoughts. Got treasures in my mind but couldn't open up my own vault. My childlike creativity, purity, and honesty is honestly being crowded by these grown thoughts. Reality is catching up with me. Taking my inner child, I'm fighting for custody. With these responsibilities that they entrusted me. As I look down at my diamond encrusted piece. Thinking no one man should have all that power. The clock's ticking, I just count the hours. Stop tripping. I'm tripping off the power. [CHEERS] What! [APPLAUSE] Now, I'm going to try to do treadmill. [MUSIC PLAYING - KANYE WEST, "POWER"] At the end the day, I'm killing it. I know damn well y'all feeling this. I don't need your, I'm on my own. Where the bad, huh, where you hiding? I got the power, make your life so exciting. [APPLAUSE] Oh, my God. Oh. Oh, my God. All right. So here's the thing. You said it was your dream to be in a commercial. So the sports and active nutrition brand called Pure Protein loves your story. And they're putting you in their next commercial. No way! No way. Yes. You're going to be in that commercial. Oh, my God. And they also want to help out with your bills. So they're giving you a check for $20,000 along with that. [APPLAUSE] Thank you. It's such a [INAUDIBLE]. We'll be right back.
