I think Brian is serious, he just goes about things a certain way. He likes what he see's these days from the Mass Monsters.
The word "smart" is never comingled with "Hardcore" and "Extreme".
There is a smart way to go about things, and a hardcore way, and they are not 2 in the same.
It obviously works for him, he just seems hung up on being a mass-monster when he doesnt have the genetics for it like Walker, etc.
Remember, Nick only does "small doses"

Every pro seems to say that these days..
