This is Tanner's microphone. I have been watching Cheers.
Starting point is 00:00:27 All the seasons of Cheers. Sam made a Malone. All right, I think we're good to go. All right, guys, we're here in a special late-night edition here of the Massanomics podcast. Tanner was stuck in some sort of compulsive masturbation support group late. That's why he wears his tie to that work group, which is a little strange.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Well, that's to strangle each other. It's weird. There's a reason for it. No, it is a masturbation thing, except for you masturbate each other with your mouths and other parts. So it's not like gay or anything. No, it's masturbation.
Starting point is 00:01:11 We came in real hot on that one so i bet you guys feel really underdressed though i do yeah yeah um so yeah we're in here um we were actually i had this vision where it's middle of the week normally we record these on sundays but I was like, well, the Sabbath, the Sabbath. Yeah. It's our day of rest. That's what Jesus said. Like just go to church and podcast. On the seventh day we podcast. Oh, on the seventh day you must Massonomics. But so this, this last weekend though, you know, I went to Minneapolis and did our, my
Starting point is 00:01:41 CrossFit level one certification course. No, no gay marriage. There wasn't any, I didn't do any, I didn't get gay married or anything while I was there. Okay. Not this time. But, uh, so I was like, well, you know, I figured we do some sort of podcast to recap at least what that was. And I thought, well, we don't have the time. Maybe we'll, uh, maybe we'll just record. Um, you know, I thought, well, I'll just record like record like a Stan Efferding style thing on the way back. I was like, I'll throw the GoPro on the dash. I'll hook a microphone up, and it'll just be a quick little recap.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Make an award-winning monologue. Yeah, why not? And what happened is it actually was a colossal pain in the ass to do. So I get through. We have like two different options for microphones. Three, really. But two different options for my three really but two different options for microphones none of them worked with my phone i ended up using just like the the microphone that you talk into like that comes with you plug into the phone normally
Starting point is 00:02:35 oh like with the headphones yeah and and and it was awful like it sounded so bad apparently stan efferding's range rover has much better sound dampening than, than my seven year old Chevy Malibu. I think he's also driving like mostly residential. So he's going under 50. Yeah. And it's daylight when he's recording and I was doing at night. So the video was shit.
Starting point is 00:02:57 The audio was shit. I also think he's in front of a green screen and he's just chilling in his garage. What was it? He just had some lights. Was it, was it, I can't remember who was saying it. It might have been Ryan.
Starting point is 00:03:06 It's like a conspiracy theory. I think he made it up that Stan Efferding is actually an Uber driver and he's the world's most annoying Uber driver in the backseat the entire time there's passengers. Why is this dude talking to everybody the whole time? Make him shut up. I don't care about the cooler.
Starting point is 00:03:22 I literally don't know a single thing you just said. Just take me to my spot. Nobody fucking needs a cooler inside a cooler. It's got three things and a cooler and a thing of water and a carabiner. And after that, you completely lost me. It's got a carabiner so you can hang two gallons of water from your belt. Right? You'll have, by my math, literally 14 pounds of liquid.
Starting point is 00:03:55 But we do actually love Stan Efferding. I'm a huge fan of his radios. Oh, yeah, I love them. But they're more fun to watch if you think that there's people in the backseat that he's hauling around that don't know what's going on. So I got in the deal and I started doing the whole thing because I had no idea how the sound was going to turn out. So I recorded like 40 minutes of me just and then I went and recapped it in the vehicle just to check it out. And I was like, nope, that's dog shit. Delete it.
Starting point is 00:04:24 So you should have this well rehearsed though no yeah no because i didn't put much effort back and watch the show here but no so it was pretty cool so i went there um it's two-day course uh i still don't know if i passed the test fortunately there was not a drug test component of it so we're safe in that regard i kind of just assumed that you just did it and they were like, yeah, either you pass or you don't. Just high five you out the door. It wasn't like the family guy clip that I put on your Facebook wall where it's like, that was the test. You stood up to me, Peter.
Starting point is 00:04:57 That was not the test. And the test was, I mean, I'm sure I probably passed it. But like you could, you could fail that test and have it not be because you're a stupid person. You know, I go to some stuff from like for work where it's like some manufacturers and they make a thing and they got to do training. You got to get certified to be able to handle this or that. And those things are all fucking gimmies.
Starting point is 00:05:19 If you fail them, it's because you're dumb. You know, like you barely had to attend the course to do it. And like with this thing, like you can know how to do some things but if you don't know it like in the specific terminology you're fucked like there's i did kind of think that i could walk in and pass that test without having taken the course i was like i do so much weird daily nerd research on this stuff that, but yeah, there's no way. So it's a written test when you say a test. It's a multiple choice test. Multiple choice.
Starting point is 00:05:51 How many questions? Like 50 or 60 or something. And they're hard? Yeah. Yeah. Like just, yeah, it was some tough stuff. Everything from movement analysis based on pictures to nutrition to metabolic pathways to like just all this shit you know some stuff where like if you're just
Starting point is 00:06:12 an average person like you'd you would definitely have to study yeah i did not study but i'm still pretty sure i passed are what what is the like the timeline of it or are you sitting in a classroom or are you just sitting in a box like talking a little bit and then you're like in a crossfit gym so it breaks down like they'll go through like you know one set of movements so like you know the i don't know the the press the push press the push jerk and they'll kind of break that down theoretically and then on the board and they kind of show you know some good some bad and stuff and then they'll kind of break that down theoretically and then on the board and they kind of show some good, some bad stuff. And then they'll break you out into groups and kind of walk you through. So you get kind of a lot of hands-on, but they're not coaching you on how to move.
Starting point is 00:06:56 They're coaching you on how to coach that movement. So it was a little weird because I don't think everybody there has ambitions of coaching. So there's some people there that were just like, sometimes when I squat, my feet, and I was like, it's not what we're here to do. Really? There was people there at that level. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They were just taking, and actually
Starting point is 00:07:18 like... They're just into CrossFit and they're like, oh, let me do this. It's just like a weekend seminar. Yeah, and actually, truthfully, I think for somebody that's, if you've done it a couple of years and you're kind of at a point where like, yeah, you think you know some things and you know what you're doing, I would highly actually recommend for just somebody that doesn't even plan on coaching to just take the course, if you do CrossFit.
Starting point is 00:07:39 I don't think it'd be of huge value to you guys. But for someone that does CrossFit, I'd be like, take the course you know if you it's a fucking thousand dollars so like but it's it's probably but it's probably worth it to somebody like that i mean if you could take a a thousand dollar two-day real breakdown with fucking louis simmons you'd probably do it you know so but it was it was i don't know it was cool it was worth it don't know, it was cool. It was worth it. The funny thing about it though, so we get there and there's a long ass line. Everybody's registering day one. I'm late and I'm not late for the class, but late for when you're supposed to be there to register.
Starting point is 00:08:14 So I'm the last. I thought you were going to say like late for your period. Yeah. Nope. Nope. Nope. It was a wild weekend. It was a weird month.
Starting point is 00:08:23 So, but the, one of the, they do is you know i suppose to introduce people they just kind of scatter the instructors throughout the line to make small talk and introduce themselves and one of them was this guy who i don't want to like make fun of him for being short but he was just a short guy but he's pretty freaking jacked and um he was right up at the front of the line and he said he said well where you from i said i'm from aberdeen he goes really really he said yeah you know i went to northern northern's the college where we're at here for those that don't know and i said oh yeah and i didn't think anything of it didn't look much closer at the guy because i was there was a bunch
Starting point is 00:08:58 of people i didn't know there and then he was like well where'd you go to school and i told him where i went to school and he, when did you graduate? And I told him when I graduated. And he said, you know, I used to coach wrestling and football there from these years. And I said, and then it dawned on me, I was like, I fucking know who you are. But when we were, when I was in, he was my junior high wrestling coach. And I think my freshman and sophomore year of football, he was my, like, O-line position coach. And even then, it didn't dawn on me that, like, he had done anything significant from, like, a fitness standpoint. But when we were in high school, he was so fucking jacked.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Like, dude was so thick like i suppose now he's probably like five seven five eight and like 195 pounds with about no body fat yeah but but back in high school he was this when i was in high school he was in college he would have been the same height and probably like 270 just fucking crazy thick but he was so intense that like it was almost at that age for me like i don't think i got along with him that well then he's a great guy i always hated it when i was that age like any coach that was like trying too hard to yeah no but he was but so it's it's great that he now became like a crossfit coach where like being fucking super up and intense and all it's like that's now became like a CrossFit coach where like being fucking super up and intense. It's the point.
Starting point is 00:10:27 That's exactly what that job requires. So that was pretty cool. And then I like had to obviously like research the dude because I was like, where the fuck, how did he get to where he's on this seminar stuff? Turns out that he had owned or he opened and owns like the 600th crossfit affiliate in the world which there's like 30 000 now so he's like where at in billings montana crossfit billings for those who are listening here give him a little shout out but his name's yuri hansen and then apparently he's been like a regionals athlete twice oh made it to the crossfit games in 2012 so like yeah some real like like superhero fitness shit you know it was crazy so did he have did he work out up i think he
Starting point is 00:11:13 used who was it was it cory or someone said that he used to work out at the y yeah he did used to work out at the y i vaguely remember it when i was just starting there that he was going there yeah you were probably young yeah i was young but i when you posted uh did you post with a picture of him and the name popped out at me that I could kind of vaguely remember this really strong guy that had a name that sounded foreign to me you know and back when I was just getting into lifting so yeah I do I remember when he used to go there yeah you know several years ago now yeah shit it's probably been 15 years at least now yeah for sure but yeah so that was cool so then at least there was somebody that i knew that was there but back to like the the actual course
Starting point is 00:11:58 itself was really good so i had i came back came out of the course thinking like or i went to it thinking oh i you know, I move pretty well, at least considering how I used to move before. Yeah. How's it going, guys? We're live here. Ooh. What are we at now?
Starting point is 00:12:15 So we've got 20,000. 20,000. 20,000? 20,000? They can see the number, too. Oh, shit. Well, you guys can't. they can see the number too oh shit well you guys can't um but yeah so i was like oh you know at least i'm you know from where i started i was like i squat pretty well you know at least from a
Starting point is 00:12:33 movement standpoint no not even fucking close you know like those people move so well you get into the breakouts and they'll kind of break down how you move the instructors you're saying yeah and like and it's like shit i was just getting picked apart i was like fuck me so i came back to like derek my coach and i was like i'm like what's up dude what have you been doing man just letting this shit slide i'm fucking running around looking like an asshole thinking i knew what i was doing um i think that's why it's probably would be a good thing for somebody that's done it for a while to take, to be kind of be like a little bit of a reset of your priorities and be like, all right, time to start over. Stop being an asshole, throwing a bunch of shit around. Just
Starting point is 00:13:14 let's try to do it right again for a little while to regroup. Um, the nutrition stuff, I kind of thought that there was some sort of, you always hear that there's some sort of like paleo connection with it, you know? Yeah, yeah. There actually was none. They didn't talk about that. Well, even when they brought up like the subject of paleo to describe, like somebody else mentioned, well, is that paleo? And they were like, well, no, because paleo doesn't really allow like milk or fucking legumes or what's the other thing like any grains yeah and they were like we don't really see anything wrong with it the only reason that
Starting point is 00:13:50 those things aren't allowed in the paleo diet is because some people might have allergies to it and they're like we think that you should try milk and if milk is good for you and doesn't fuck you up you should definitely drink milk because Cause it's, you know, so, um, that was pleasantly surprising. I kind of expected that part to be some sort of like unreasonable indoctrination into some paleo shit, but they were pretty, that was all pretty, pretty legit. So what about their steroids discussion? Did they prescribe you any? They did not. I did want to ask about the performance enhancing effects of removing your shirt mid-workout yeah um it's been well documented yeah was there much time for jokes they well no not not for me i guess but the actually the the
Starting point is 00:14:40 instructors were like i don't know like do you ever have to do any like public speaking at work other than you call it? We could call this public speaking, but. Yeah. In front of. Five people. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:53 I mean, this is like a two day long presentation. Every person broke out into a handful of things. And how many people at this? Like 45 people. Okay. And they were like, I suppose they're coaches. So they're used to handling a room full of people. And they were like, I suppose they're coaches, so they're used to handling a room full of people. But as far as public speakers go,
Starting point is 00:15:10 absolutely A1, exceptional public speakers. Just that alone was pretty impressive. It's one thing to be a good athlete, and then maybe to be a decent coach. But to actually be able to be almost like a teacher, but an exceptional one to make it entertaining was pretty good. And to be able to string it together for longer than just like 15 minutes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Because you can prepare it. You can think through a good 15 minutes. Yeah, you can do that. Like seriously, if you rehearse it enough in your head and you're just somewhat comfortable. And at 15 minutes, it doesn't even have to be interesting. No, no. It can just be. Yeah. And then you're done and you're like,'re like all right well rub my eyes and on to the next
Starting point is 00:15:49 people are expecting to look at you for hours and to learn something yeah so that part specifically i was i was really really impressed with um i also was a little i kind of expected going into it too for there to be like for them to treat like greg glassman like the l ron hubbard of crossfit or something to be like and then on the third day coach glassman mentioned pull-ups you know and then he invented the keeping you know all that shit um there was none of that nonsense either so it wasn't near as culty as uh as a guy would think yeah um that's safe for level two i'm gonna i'm gonna guess that level two is where you get branded. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:27 And they put the chip in your brain. You tell them all your secrets and they hold it against you. There was workouts during this also. So there was one at the end of the first day that was a motherfucker for a guy like me. Then there was one in the middle of the second day, which was just kind of there just to do but there's always talk that people at the level one seminar that they'll
Starting point is 00:16:51 do like fran which if you're familiar with that it's 21 15 9 of just thrusters and pull-ups and it's just a pain workout so like it that would take me like fucking eight or nine minutes and i would hate the entire like every minute of just lungs on fire but like good people can do it in like two and a half minutes you know which is insane but it's just super intense it hurts everything was gearing up that it was going to be that and i was like son of a bitch and but i kept looking at the pull-up bars this has no impact on your no no it's just something that they do like an initiation almost kind of yeah it's just like well we're gonna throw down now before you guys go did you feel uh not to interrupt the story in the middle but in the workout part did you feel extra motivated being there like at the class like
Starting point is 00:17:33 well i can't let all these guys show me up or like i don't want to look like the bitch let me spell this out here's how the workout went so the workout we thought it was i thought it was going to be fran everything was shaping up because we literally did the pull-up instructional and then the thruster instructional so i was like fuck this is just not a tall guy workout and the only thing that's worse than those two things for being tall would be if you did maybe burpees instead of the pull-ups which is exactly what we did but we did it was three rounds of 15 which is basically the same amount of reps of thrusters and burpees instead of pull-ups you just for me it was three rounds of 15 which is basically the same amount of reps of thrusters and burpees instead of pull-ups you're just for me it was just all fucking cardio and up and down
Starting point is 00:18:11 and being tall and heavy and so it's been a long i mean it still happens from time to time in my regular fitness in which there will be a class and then i'm finishing last in and everybody's cheering for and it's supposed to be wonderful and inspiring it I'm finishing last in and everybody's cheering for her and it's supposed to be wonderful and inspiring it's a very humbling and a little bit embarrassing at the same time um but it's been a couple years and so I don't that doesn't happen as often as as it as it used to at all it used to happen every day but now I'm in the middle of the level one course, first day, everyone else is done with this workout. And I am fucking just thrusters still. And then I get down to the burpees.
Starting point is 00:18:52 So there's that scene where I'm the big fat guy and there's fucking 45 people screaming at me to do fucking more burpees. And I'm just breathing so hard with my hands on my knees, just like, I'm not fucking doing anything. I just had to keep going down and back up, and they're still yelling at me, and I just sit down and back up. It was so fucking, I mean, it was a cool thing, but if I had to pick, what do I want to not happen at this level one seminar?
Starting point is 00:19:20 I definitely don't want to be the fat guy finishing last at the workout while everybody's just- You don't want to be the fat guy finishing last at the workout while everybody's just... You don't want to be the guy that everyone's cheering on. Look at the heart on that guy. He's trying so hard, that guy. So I did all of that.
Starting point is 00:19:41 And it was cool. There wasn't too much like... There was a little bit of like crossfit stereotypical crossfit bros around there they're probably all decent guys i'm sure if i would have had the chance to talk to there was a few that like walk into the room with your board shorts and compression leggings and your fucking nanos and your goddamn headbands and your fucking rogue shirts to the point where I'm just like, oh, gross. Every one of the things. What are they doing every one of the things?
Starting point is 00:20:09 And I like CrossFit and things. I do it all the time. But I'm just like, come on now. It's like the guy that smokes pot that wears a T-shirt that's covered in pot leaves and a pot leaf hat and a pot leaf hooded sweatshirt. And a Bob Marley patch sewn on the sleeve. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like only listens to 311.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Like it was kind of like that, but. Maybe they were planted by the CrossFit HQ to kind of put some. Be like, guys, you got to buy your Reebok stuff. It was like subliminal advertising for them. But everybody was, you know, in in their rebox and that was cool but no it was really good it was uh it was cool i had a lot of fun um i'm just hoping i passed the test so when do you find out i have like four five days left before i find out um and then you're gonna go on like a three-day bender if you pass it yeah yeah definitely so there's not a physical test no like not like pass or fail no no no time no it's you know it's just
Starting point is 00:21:11 a coaching yeah it's a coaching course yeah okay so did you you know you said you technique wise there are some things you're like oh hey so was there some things you brought away from it in your own training that you think you'll do any differently than you were before? Well, it's, I don't know. You guys have watched me lift. I was like, and maybe it was just because I was sore and I drove five hours and did the thing. But like the first day we're doing squats, she's like, you need to go a little deeper. And I'm like, okay. And I was trying not to like fall apart.
Starting point is 00:21:39 So I get that. But like. Yeah. I've never seen you not go. I've never seen you not go shallow on a squat. not uh go shallow on a squat yeah and so so but but for real and maybe it was because that one time she was like you you got to get deeper yeah you got to get deeper in your squat that then like for the rest of the day she's like and for guys like you that are working on your depth and i'm like what the fuck that's not me what do you mean like i never do that yeah that's not a that's not me. What do you mean? I never do that. Yeah, that's not a thing with you. Honestly.
Starting point is 00:22:05 I never do that. Well, for real. She's like, you know, it was kind of like. The old slow learner over here. And it wasn't a thing where it was like, it felt like there was like, and we got old fucking quarter squatting Tyler over here. And thinking, no wonder you can squat so much. Half-ass and son of a bitch. So you're going to squat deeper.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Apparently. I think it was because I was just trying to keep my fucking torso in check, which is the part that I normally do wrong. So in trying to not round a little bit, I probably came just a touch high, but yeah, I don't, I've never seen you do a squat high. Well, so, so when she said that, I was like, this is like the first two squats, air squats that I've done here. And I'm like, I'm like, Jesus, is everybody at the gym think I'm that guy? Like, have I been doing this for a year? Fuck. No, I don't think so. So yeah, there was, I was, I was ready to call all you guys out.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Like, come on, none of you said a word? No, I would say that that's not true. So I probably just had a couple shitty reps because it was early, and I just got out of the car. You said, let's put some weight on this. Hold me down. Yeah, no shit. Pin me down with this fucking thing.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Need help getting down there. What about anything else that you just feel differently about anything like philosophy wise or training or nutrition or the the nutrition stuff was a bit interesting so they don't really preach the kind of like the it if it fits your macros thing where you can like eat a little bit shitty to slide in it is pretty much pretty clean they actually still kind of prescribed the zone diet which i thought was kind of a a thing that kind of came and went i'm not sure i've ever even heard of that i've heard of that i just don't know what it is i don't need to go into too far but basically you're you're set up into you can have x amount of blocks based
Starting point is 00:24:01 on your body which really is essentially just a caloric target. You know what I mean? But each block is made up of a certain amount of protein, a certain amount of carbs and a certain amount of fat. That ratio is 40, 30, 30, which is lo and behold, exactly what my targets are anyways. So it's just an easier way to know that instead of having to know, let's say you have to know that, um, I don't't know one ounce of chicken is seven grams of protein yeah instead of having to know that there's just kind of a quick little cheat sheet yeah that if i like for me when i just i've been doing it just last couple days to see how it compares to what i normally do and i'm i basically get like 30 blocks a day so each block is a block of carb block of protein block so it's almost like if it fits your macros
Starting point is 00:24:46 but it's kind of like template but yeah but yeah exactly and and so that way there's no like leeway so so so for me it's like 10 blocks a meal three meals a day if i'm eating just three meals so a simple one would be then if i look on the sheets like well one ounce of chicken is one block of protein so i would know 10 ounces of chicken and that way. So that makes sense to me as a simplified. It's a simplified version. That's all it is. But like what you do more normally, like knowing the calories and protein and stuff.
Starting point is 00:25:17 That's the exact same thing. But it's, but what you knowing is better, like enabling you to be able to make different choices in the future. You know that? Yeah. I mean, I, I wouldn't say that that zone thing is bad, but I you to be able to make different choices in the future. You know that? Yeah. I mean, I, I wouldn't say that that zone thing is bad, but I just think like you just having an understanding of like what the calories and the macros actually are of the food is easier for you to make those decisions on your own. And yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:38 And, and, and I honestly, I had known of what the zone diet was and I never really looked into the application of it. And so that part was a little bit cool and i'm basically just gonna for something to do because it doesn't take me off my page it's just a different way for me to to plug the things in and some of it is actually a little bit easier because i'm not using such big numbers i'm not like all right so this egg is fucking 90 calories and you know what i mean It's not a – I don't have to fit with that. I'm just like an egg equals one. And so I eat seven of those, and I eat six pieces of turkey bacon,
Starting point is 00:26:12 and I eat fucking two cups of potatoes for breakfast. And that's basically what I was eating. It's just if I'm eating something that's maybe off the page or outside the box, then it's a little bit easier to just be like, times 10 and you're there so um so that part was was interesting other than that movement wise there wasn't anything crazy other than i do find myself doing workouts regularly where my movement standards when you get fatigued i let go because i'm just like trying to get fucking 10 more reps you know and their thing is very very strict technique i've never seen four people that move as well as the four people in that that taught the class i was like son of a bitch and fast and just
Starting point is 00:27:00 perfect so that was pretty eye-opening and i'm like well you know if i want to actually do it i should probably just do it right focus on that first and i was pretty fucking sore just from like holding some of the positions to try to be in the right position that kind of fucked me for for maybe it was just because then i did that and then drove five hours home but um so that was good um how'd your olympic lifting feel we don't really do much of it so we just kind of did like a bit of a snatch run through on some technique stuff we didn't do anything with any weight everything was with pvc pipe so i suppose with 45 people and you don't want anybody trying to do some hero shit so how are you supposed to show off though well that's
Starting point is 00:27:42 kind of what you could tell there were there was some people that were, that were like, you know, you'd get to like the pull-up thing and they're like, Oh good. I'm really good at pull-ups. I can't wait to do a bunch of pull-ups. Show everybody that can do pull-ups. And the shirt's already off. Like, no, no, just do one. We're just working on the hollow position.
Starting point is 00:27:57 And, um, I guess the other thing, you know, one of the, one of the most common, if you were to hear like why you shouldn't do CrossFit stuff, it would be, like, what's the most common thing that you would hear? Oh, you're going to get hurt. Because you're just going to go in there and be wild. Oh, yeah. Throw a bunch of weight around, you're going to fucking get hurt. Yeah. Like, the safety thing and the actual movement fundamentals.
Starting point is 00:28:26 And not just, like, well, you need to have your back here you need to get like specifically like if a person has five movement flaws how to address the first one that's the safety issue first and those are the things you're gonna have to queue out for you know everything was from the point of safety so when you hear of people that maybe get hurt doing crossfit or you hear which probably isn't at any rate any higher than fucking soccer no well i bet lower lower than contact sports like that you know but but when you hear that maybe higher than zumba i will say it's probably definitely higher injury rate than zumba but one of them zumba motherfuckers snatched do you know why it's called zumba and do you yes um tell me did you learn this from how i built it yes our podcast about how people built
Starting point is 00:29:12 and things yes because it wait wait go back how did they build zumba oh it's a whole podcast there's a whole podcast i need 45 minutes to that'll be next week cover cover that. But it's Zumba because it was originally like Samba, like a dance. And he just was going through the alphabet like, what sounds good? Like, I just can't call it Samba. He's like, you know, Roomba, Toomba, Foomba, Zumba. That's what I said. Yeah. So that's why it's Zumba. Hey, that I said. Yeah. That's what I said, Zumba.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Hey, that's a catchy name. It's really underwhelming. They're like, so the guy just said a thing and added some things. Not like Masonomics, though. No. There's a whole philosophical background to that. There's a lot of backstory. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:57 But, yeah, I mean, so if you hear about people that are getting hurt or if people are getting hurt, from the things that I see and specifically in the gym that I train at, when people are getting hurt, it's because they're going way off the fucking page. Nobody's telling you you need to be doing everything you can to barely get some kipping muscle up where your arms are about to dislocate your fucking shoulders. It's like, well, what the fuck are you doing? Nobody told you to do that. Nobody taught you to do that. You just wanted to do it now you're gotta fucking be a
Starting point is 00:30:27 hero when the competitiveness kicks in exactly but do you think uh over time over like say the over the course of the last five years that the training and the coaching and everything just generally has just got just gotten better like improved you know i just haven't i just haven't been in it long enough so i really wouldn wouldn't know. I would say that like anything, they should be trying to get better. So I'm sure it has. But if somebody's getting hurt, one, I don't want to just blame the people that are getting hurt. So there's a little bit of personal responsibility on the athlete. But the other thing is there probably is some coaches that come out there and are not being responsible with what
Starting point is 00:31:04 they do. That's what I was thinking. based off what you say if most of the level courses are like that it's not because of a lack of them no those but there could be someone there yeah that's kind of a dipshit but he passes and you know and he goes back and he's like you know i mean it's just irresponsible like like like you know here you go you came in the door welcome you know now we're gonna fucking throw down you know and and like that they're probably there definitely is people out there like that like you want to know what crossfit is oh we're gonna make you fucking throw up you're gonna fucking throw some weight around it's gonna be crazy you're probably gonna die um there's there's so but any of that stuff is people just just going off the page because from a liability standpoint they did literally everything imaginable to not just
Starting point is 00:31:54 like via a disclaimer cover their ass but to like educate you on how to make sure you're not hurting people um and and how to coach them back from that mentality too, which is probably harder than just coaching them how to move right. But all in all, it was very good. I hope I pass. What if you don't pass, like money-wise? Money-wise, you have to, instead of the $1,000 to take the course again, I think you've got to come and pay like $500 just to take the test again. And there was a few retesters that were there
Starting point is 00:32:28 when we were there. Like, hey, you think about it, 45 people at $1,000 a pop, that's $45,000 for a little seminar. Yeah. We should definitely start putting on seminars. Yeah. More like semenars.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Yeah. Bing, bang, boom. You can invite your banking friends, Taylor. I'm going to go to... Banking. This summer, if I can get together to scratch, if you motherfuckers out there would buy some t-shirts, I'd get to scratch to do this. We also sell ties.
Starting point is 00:32:58 We also sell ties. Yeah. Well, just send us... If you send us your tie, we'll have it embroidered for you. Yeah. But Julian Pinoa of StrongFit has his course, and he's got the two-day course and then a one-week coach's week or a five-day coach's week that I just really, really, really want to do.
Starting point is 00:33:16 But the two of those things combined are like $2,600 or $2,700. I was like, fuck, I thought the level one was expensive. So then you look at like a course like Julie, if you have a course like Julian's with maybe 40 people on the weekend, that's, uh, I'm no math scientist, but let's say it's six or $700. That's 28 grand for the weekend. Then let's say you have half that many people doing the week that's $2,000. Let's say you have 15 people. I mean, that's another.
Starting point is 00:33:48 He's making like, I'm no math scientist. What is that, Tanner? You're a banker. That's like $70,000 a week or some shit. I was actually thinking of my next statement in my head. Well over $100. He's probably pulling in like $ grand a week yeah but you know who really has those guys trumped is that tony robbins i don't know if any of you guys have ever watched
Starting point is 00:34:10 the netflix documentary on him five g's and it's like 5 000 people he's like like a week really that's oh yeah 5 000 a piece i mean he's got thousands of people speaking skills down like i would not pay that much for that seminar. But he does have some things that I think are more like respectably priced products that are like $1,500. And I think that I'm a big Tony Robbins fan. Oh, yeah. He's fun to watch. But man, 5G is fucking crazy.
Starting point is 00:34:42 How about... But yeah, he's doing it for thousands of people at once. But here's the deal. If you went to that for a week and you spent $5,000 on it, I think strictly because you spent $5,000 on it, you would be like, well, if $5,000 matters to you,
Starting point is 00:35:00 if it doesn't matter to you, it doesn't matter. It's like buying a bag of Cheetos and throwing it in the fucking garbage. But if $5,000 matters to you and you go to that you're gonna be like well tony robbins is about to change my fucking life yeah and he's gonna be gung-ho and you would definitely be all in on everything because this because you just probably lost your house yeah well do the math on that though five thousand dollars for five thousand people because isn't that what it was on that it was five thousand people yeah i mean it was a huge convention center full of people it
Starting point is 00:35:29 wasn't like you were hanging out with you know tony robbins yourself and getting no because he has like a full staff so when they do breakout groups into groups of like 20 people like there he has a huge staff his staff there was two full separate rooms, like separate conference rooms where they met with the staff afterwards. It's just kind of like motivational, inspirational type stuff, isn't it? Or does he have like how to? There's a lot. It's mostly implementation. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:55 So there's a lot of hoorah and get you riled up. But then there's a whole bunch of implementation stuff where it's like you break down this for you. I think there is a lot of that. Yes. No. 5,000 times 5,000. Is that not $25 million? That's just $25 million.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Tony Robbins. That's for a week. It's not a bad week. But he says he only does like one or two of those a year. Yeah. Well, yeah. You got to think of a way to spend the money when you're not. Why do you do anything else?
Starting point is 00:36:28 Good Lord. Well, at that point, they're like, what does money mean to him? Why doesn't he just give it to the people? I have a question. So what if we put on a massonomic seminar that was $5,000 a person and maybe only 20 people showed up? That's good. Should we do that? And maybe only 20 people showed up.
Starting point is 00:36:43 That's good. Should we do that? Guys, if you're interested in attending a Mastanomics seminar, we might even, $4,000 if you get in under the first cutoff, and we'll let you know when that is. But just shoot us an email. Let us know. Email getbigatmastanomics.com.
Starting point is 00:36:59 And we'll fix all your problems and stuff. I'll do literally anything. A $5,000 a week, I can do a lot of stuff. I will do damn near anything. A $5,000 a week, I can do a lot of stuff. I will do damn near anything. You could just hire the three of us to just do what you want us to do. I'm pretty good at
Starting point is 00:37:16 heating and air conditioning. I can do a lot of stuff around your house. I can tune up your furnace. I can take care of some computer stuff for you. Tanner and I are tall. We change some light bulbs yeah yeah we'll figure out a week yeah yeah and we're probably pretty cool to hang out that's what like the world of like personal assistants you know that would be something to really like to be pd's assistant actually i don't know if that one would be a good one or not but i've also i need the breast. But I've heard that once you're in that world,
Starting point is 00:37:48 if you get far enough into it, you have connections in the world. So literally everyone has each other's back. So you don't have to do really anything. You just call your guy that knows that thing and takes care of it for you. I need a shirt made out of human skin. He calls his guy overseas. I got a human skin guy um but yeah that's it for my recap oh i do have a bit of a poop story from the trip so
Starting point is 00:38:14 i i stayed at a one of those like extended stay motels um not do you want to go into specifics of the name you know the people checking me in and checking me out in front were so nice and so friendly that i just don't want to shit on that's fair their job but it was oh so so the first night um even over the sound of my breathing machine i had to hear this it was one of, so there's a kitchen in the place. Yeah. So I have to hear this drip, drip, drip, drip, like pretty fast drip in the kitchen.
Starting point is 00:38:52 And about halfway through the night, I get up and I'm going, I'm trying to tighten the thing and it's still dripping. You broke the knobs off. No, I took it easy on it. So then, I mean, it's like three or four o'clock in the morning and I'm opening the deal and i'm crawling underneath the sink to turn off the valves for underneath the sink just to be like then there's no water going to it and then it can't drip were you angry at this point like just like god i just want because it had been like the
Starting point is 00:39:18 breathing machine and then the sound torture and that just wasn't happening and so i'm under there i'm trying i get i get turn these valves valves off, and I know what I'm doing. They're off. And I bleed the pressure off the top, and then I close it, and it's still drip, drip, drip. It was like the valves don't close enough. Yeah, to stop it. There's still some making it through, and then it still makes its way out.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Was it a ball valve or a gate valve? It was a, well, it would have been a, it's not a quarter valve so it was a gate valve yeah that's the problem that's your problem yeah good old quarter turn ball valve would have done it yeah shut it right down massonomics for all your ball valve needs um so that was the first night and there was just nothing I could do about that. Um, the second night I get up in the middle of the night, I had turned on the fan and left the bathroom fan on, um, in hopes of drowning out the dripping and it had kind of worked. Um, I slept a little better with the breathing machine. Things were going good. I get up about the same time, about three in the morning. I got a i gotta shit um to rewind a little
Starting point is 00:40:26 bit after the first day of the course and that super embarrassing workout where everybody was cheering me on while i sucked it up i got done i was like well i'm gonna head home and get some food before i go to the hotel and sure enough there's a five guys and if you haven't had five guys you need to have five guys but if you're gonna have five guys you need to get a lot of five guys because it's so good burgers and fries yeah just greasy burgers and fries i still have never had it what the fuck it's so good is it where you get you can buy like the large quantity of fries yeah like the five they take like a cup and they it's like that's all in there and then is there peanuts yep okay and they take like two extra scoops of fries and just chuck them in the
Starting point is 00:41:03 bag for you too so you get like a double order or whatever you get in fries. So I got two giant double burgers and a large order of fries and just crushed them. And that had to come out of me in the middle of the night. How many blocks was that? I don't know. I was going to start the zone on Monday because all good diets start on Mondays. Start the zone on Monday because all good diets start on Mondays. And so I got that out of me in the middle of the night and I flushed the toilet and the fucking toilet just backed right up.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Just five guys right in the bottom of that thing. And so the toilet's completely full. And I was like, well, I don't know what to do. There's no plunger there. I'm not going to get somebody up here in the middle of the night. I'm wearing my underwear. Give someone else a nightmare yeah right like that that poor nice slightly overweight black middle-aged woman downstairs just doesn't want to come plunge my toilet doesn't need this shit she doesn't need this shit so i i just i just left it and then i got up in the morning and you know how if you plug a toilet, but then it still kind of drains down.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Yeah. It's even worse. Yeah. So it's just like all this, ugh, in the bottom of it. It's kind of like not surrounded by water. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:13 So I was like, well, maybe it went though. So I flush it and it just raced to the top again. And that's when you're always like, stop. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah. And then the smell was so bad. and then it's like at the top but what i didn't do was take my morning shit before i did all that so then i got a poop fully plugged toilet nothing i can do about it shower brush my teeth in this goddamn bathroom that stinks so bad at this point
Starting point is 00:42:40 and then then i had to go find a grocery store to poop in um so that was uh that was my poop store i just i just left it for the people i didn't even tell them i just said well you'll find it what do you what else you don't have any other options at that point i don't i don't know yeah it was either and then i could have pooped in the sink too they've seen they've seen worse they have yeah they have to have so oh this is all you got, man? It's kind of weak. It's just a big old smelly turd. It's not even mashed into the carpet like they usually are. Can't tell if this guy's trying to do something bad.
Starting point is 00:43:14 He left it in the toilet. But yeah, so that was my level one story. It was all good. It was a lot of fun. What about the warp whistle thing? None of that. What's a warp whistle? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:27 For Mario, you know, you... We had talked about it. Go straight to the water world. Yeah, you can go straight to like level four. Like it's like you have to jump over like the level one box and it's like behind a secret wall. My understanding is... And then you get to skip the boring levels. The level two course is like a really comprehensive course.
Starting point is 00:43:46 My coach is a level two coach, and he's like everybody. I'm in a bit of like CrossFit gym owners group on Facebook too where I kind of get some good information out of some other gym owners. And the general consensus is like, yeah, the level two, the guys come back from taking that like really like, fuck, man, like they really learned a lot but then the level three i think is basically like you're just it's just this massive test and it's like a three or four hour test i don't even know if there's you you get like course material but it's just really a test and you have to have logged like
Starting point is 00:44:23 a shit ton of coaching hours and it has to be GPP coaching. It can't be like, well, I'm also a high school football coach. You can't count those hours. Um, so I think if, if you're a level two coach, you're, you've just got a really lot of good information jammed into your head. If you're a level three coach, you're probably like guaranteed to be an actually good just just coach not just person who knows the knowledge but um and then i guess they're right about to launch the level four i'm assuming that as coaches move through the levels it's just in crossfit hq's best interest to i don't know there's a level eight yeah let me just you I mean? Cause then you can just take another $45,000.
Starting point is 00:45:11 They posted a picture on CrossFit.com of, they told us like, yeah, your guys' group picture will be on CrossFit.com, you know, so you can see it. You know, we put the classes up there and I was like, oh, cool. We'll get to see our, our group. That's wonderful. I get on there and there is like 20 other groups of 30 or 40 people taking that course. So do the math. I mean, that's just a shit ton of money on courses every weekend. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:45:34 So, yeah, that was it for that. We do have a bit of a, is it Tommy's sack today? Yeah. I mean, I don't really want him to steal my thunder. I brought the sack. It's Tanner's sack. It's Tanner's sack. Tommy just brought the sack. So, are you guys ready for the old sack? I think we're ready to see what's up. See how many innuendos
Starting point is 00:45:51 I can do today. Well, here it is. I really wish I would have gotten that. We got a better angle. There we go. Just kidding. Save that for another time. You gotta pay for that one. Or if you sign up for our email list, we can send you pictures. Yeah, the email newsletter is very X-rated, so sign up.
Starting point is 00:46:15 A lot of nudes. Full frontal nudes, live nudes. We actually accept nudes in our email. I mean, Tommy does. I don't. I mean, Tommy does. I don't. I mean, it's email. Tanner and I are married, so we don't get to see those,
Starting point is 00:46:28 but we leave all that to Tommy. I screen them. I'm the screener. He's like, those married folks can't be seeing this kind of stuff. Sack stuff. We got some sack stuff, and I am very happy about these.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Yeah. Those look great. They sure do. Here's another different another different one oh is that the one you had yeah i got this nice guy so what we had made we were kind of trying out some new uh some new hat hat styles and color patterns and uh i stumbled across these and i i'm i'm a big lakers fan so the the purple and gold was oh i assumed it was lsu yeah no not I'm a big Lakers fan, so the purple and gold was... Oh, I assumed it was LSU. Yeah, no, not necessarily.
Starting point is 00:47:08 I thought you were a big Shaq fan from back in the day. I am a big Shaq fan. See, it's all encompassing. Just to get off the subject and talk about that, they just re-bock-released Shaq's first shoot. The Shaq attack, which he had year one in orlando do you think the shack gnosis is coming back i think it's inevitable and i like the shack gnosis a lot better than the shack attack but the shack attack is also really cool i don't know if i know what the shack attack looks like they're old
Starting point is 00:47:35 because he was a rookie in like 90 yeah but they're 160 dollars of course like you know you know what pisses me off though is that so it's going to be Reebok just reissuing Shaq shoes. So the Shaq Gnosis is going to be another $150 shoe when it comes out. Oh, for sure. Oh, I would probably think even more. So it's the Shaq. Attack. Attack.
Starting point is 00:47:55 Does he spell the... He does spell it with a Q. My man. My... Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Those are pretty fly.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Yeah. But they're expensive pumps too they kind of look like the i think so i'm not sure if they do look like the reebok pumps so the problem is going to be are you getting all that weird noise in your ears i don't know if they can't hear. Oh, there. Yeah, whatever. So we were having a meltdown. You guys can't hear it. I fixed it.
Starting point is 00:48:30 I know what most of these wires are for. So these are the Shaq attacks, not Massanomics branded. But the problem is, do you know what Shaq's line is now? His line of shoes? Like Walmart. Yeah, they're like at Walmart and Payless and shit. So you can get some Shaq shoes. Dunk Man. Yeah, you can get them for like $15.
Starting point is 00:48:48 So I was really hoping when you were talking that they were reissuing them. I was like, oh, I'm going to get this shit at Shopko. It's Reebok. They only go up to $14, though. That's not really true to Shaq. Yeah, that's not true to the original. That means it's a money grab. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:02 I still feel like the Shaq Gnosis has to come back. I think that'd be good. That is a super... I would really like... If that was $60 instead of $160, I'd definitely buy a pair. Yeah. Anyway, so back to the hats we got on the table. Back to the things that actually matter to us.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Yeah, so I kind of found some of these color patterns. There's a few that are like other sports team specific, and I was like, oh, that'd be great. Baltimore Orioles. Baltimore Orioles. Actually, I just got it because I liked the orange and white. Or you could say Giants even. Or the Giants.
Starting point is 00:49:33 But yeah. Yeah. And the purple and gold, basically Lakers, Vikings, LSU. There is also a black and gold, like the Steelers, which really would be sharp too, but I only need so many hats. But I think eventually we're probably going to have some sort of offering in a few of these color patterns on the store.
Starting point is 00:49:56 But yeah, I dig them. This is the first time I've seen them. I ordered them. Those two are mine, the red one's Tanner's. We haven't had this hat. 39.30. I think that's a new one. Yeah, we haven't had this hat all right 39 30 i think that's a new one yeah this we haven't had this hat i just wanted to try the the color option here yeah that's pretty badass matches the matches your headphones perfect your headphones the sandbags all of them
Starting point is 00:50:18 well that's not all that's not all what else is in your sack tanner oh wait i forgot you got one other hat too oh yeah you got a yeah, yeah. You got a gray one too. This is the same as our Lieutenant Dan. Same as the Lieutenant Dan, minus the camo. Just a gray Lieutenant Dan in gunmetal gray. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:50:37 That's pretty badass. Man, I got some sweet hats. I forgot about that. Here's the regular Lieutenant Dan for comparison's sake. And if you call in right now, we'll make you a special offer where you can buy all of these. For what? $5,000. Yeah, that's all it takes.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Mint tradition. It's a limited collabo. John Elway has approved of this line and is a big fan. Was it John Elway or John Elway's son? That's schematics. Yeah. It was John Elway. You think John Elway doesn't Elway's son? That's schematics. Yeah. It was John Elway. John Elway.
Starting point is 00:51:05 You think John Elway doesn't like his son? Yeah. What about the next, is this the big purchase here? Yeah, we got a few sweatshirts that we normally stock. Probably don't need to bust those out, but you can buy those at massanomics.com as well. But then I, a little prototype of something a little bit different. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:29 I like it. I like it. It's probably a little big for you. I could probably wear that. I did get it in a 2X just because I was really afraid of getting a, like I don't want this to be small. Yeah. Like I would oftentimes a lot of wear, a lot of times wear a 1X.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Yeah. But I just like didn't want to get it and be like, ah, it's a little too small. Yeah. We had a free thing through work where I got some XL sweatshirts, washed them once, and now my girlfriend has three new sweatshirts. You guys want to give that a feel? The feel test?
Starting point is 00:51:55 That's a premium fabric. Oh, that is definitely not going to shrink on you, so I'll probably take this one. And we have some extra fancy cuffs, even. Yeah, what's going on with the Letterman's jacket cuffs? I don't know. I just like the look of it, I guess. I think someone said it reminded them of a Chicago Bulls warm-up jersey.
Starting point is 00:52:13 Yeah, I can see that. I don't know. I just wanted to try something a little different. Yeah, that's pretty sweet. So we've got all kinds of swag. Yeah, once we get our heads out of our asses we'll probably have some sort of uh we'll start putting some new stuff out there but now now you should be able to go online and buy the lyft shirt right you actually can go on and do it yeah yeah my mom
Starting point is 00:52:36 yeah like we got an advertisement she's been watching that thing for i know forever i guess we we got an order and i and i, oh, my mom bought some shit. But I was like, what is this shirt? Because I never remembered. Because it's called the Weekend Warrior. Yeah. Normally, we... Yeah, because that's a name that I hadn't heard of yet.
Starting point is 00:52:59 So if you're watching on video, we'll see if I can get you. It works pretty good when you do that. Does that work? Okay. Yeah. Cool. So that is the, are you being sarcastic?
Starting point is 00:53:09 No, it works. It does. Like you can, I, so, so this is the, this is the purple or purple,
Starting point is 00:53:15 the blue, uh, basically lift. It's in the style of, can we say the name of an adult beverage? That style of a beer, a light beer. It rhymes with killer light.
Starting point is 00:53:29 But it's totally an original design of ours. Definitely. So it's probably my favorite shirt that we've done. Read the description for the people, Tyler. This shirt is brewed to perfection with equal parts hops, iron, and swag. Pairs great with PR sets and the refreshing beverage of your choice. It really is a fine lifestyle. The shirt features our custom screen-printed Massanomics tag, 4.3-ounce 50-50 cotton poly blend, and a vibrant heathered royal blue.
Starting point is 00:53:55 God, that sounds like I want to buy one. I want to buy 10 right now. Honestly, if you bought 10 of these, we would give you your 11th one at full price. But you would get a really special note from us if you bought 10 of these we would give you your 11th one at full price so but you would get a really special note from us if you bought we'd figure out something good for you so if you want to be the guy to buy 10 of them do it and we'll just see what you're surprised yeah we'll think of something good i might get a multiple pairs of dirty tyler's we'll give you a surprise did you ever hear that is a super cool looking shirt. That is a great shirt. Speaking of dirty underwear,
Starting point is 00:54:26 did you ever hear some of those super weird requests that like Robert Oberst gets? Yeah, or Josh Morrison, really big, super heavyweight, probably three or four hundred pounds. The same deal, like super heavyweight guys or the big strongman guys,
Starting point is 00:54:40 they'll get people that are like, I want you to, I'll pay you a thousand dollars for your dirty, gross work. Other guys. It's never a pretty woman, unfortunately. So that's certainly a thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:54 But sorry, guys. I only give my dirty underwear to my wife to wash. And she doesn't like it. These guys out there are probably pissed because they're like, she doesn't even appreciate that. She complains about it. She's using it wrong. She's ungrateful. You're not supposed to just wash it.
Starting point is 00:55:14 You're supposed to do whatever sick thing I would do with it. So yeah, if you buy 10 of these, we'll give you one at full price. And then we will also write you a nice handwritten note and throw in a secret surprise. I'm excited. Like, I don't, we don't have them yet. So like, I'm really excited. They are on the way. To get that.
Starting point is 00:55:34 Because. Well, by the time you hear this, we will have them. Yeah. And we'll be wearing them and they'll be really awesome. So. I don't know if I'll ever take that off. Yeah. I'm actually considering getting two.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Oh, I'll probably get two. In case I stain it yeah but you should too everybody so is there anything else you want to cover guys um this coming weekend we're going to be you got the big power lifting meet coming up we kind of talked about that at length i think last week but um pretty jazzed up you taking the week pretty easy here so far yeah i'm not i did a little really light stuff yesterday. I'm going to go in really light tomorrow. Easy weights and, you know, literally like 100 pounds, 150 pounds on some squatting and stuff.
Starting point is 00:56:17 And that'll be it. I'll be off until Saturday. I'm feeling pretty good about my squat. If I get my wraps down, I'm pretty sure that I'm going to set a. Tanner with wraps PR. Well, yeah, I think like a 20 to 25 pound PR.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Nice. At, at, you know, I don't, I don't normally like to really say, say much of that beforehand, but I,
Starting point is 00:56:38 I'm pretty confident right now that it'll be a pretty significant PR for me. So I'll probably, probably be pretty jacked up about that. Yeah. At the time. That's good. My bench will be down 200 pounds or so. You're going to need a 200-pound squat PR to keep your total up. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:59 Well, that's good. We're looking forward to that. And hopefully here next week we'll be able to recap all that for you. We're T-minus four weeks out from the Arnold. Well, sort of. There's a weird dynamic. It's going to be four weeks before you're hearing us talk about the Arnold. By the time you're hearing about this or listening to this,
Starting point is 00:57:16 the Arnold is probably two weeks away. But look forward to four weeks from now. We're still working on that Arnold prep. Yeah, we've been Arnold prepping pretty hard. Lifts already. Physical form. Getting our swag ready for so we got many things that's actually the main reason we did this is so that we we all have to be a little things like we're gonna have a we don't want to look completely like we're wearing the same thing
Starting point is 00:57:35 we'll just kind of look like a boy band that kind of isn't the same theme but just kind of different some of us will be a little edgier so which's going to wear the fedora? I'm fucking Joey Fatone, aren't I? Fuck. I'm the fucking old fat guy. Fuck. That sucks. I don't know. Who's going to be Justin?
Starting point is 00:57:56 Yeah, that would be the only name that I know. Yeah, you're kind of Justin. You've got the hair. Okay, I'll take that. I'll take one for the team and be Justin. But no, we're going to have to have some sort of a shirt schedule. Yeah, so we're like, everybody's going to have to check the day that they're going to wear the black Massanomics tee, when they're going to wear the numero uno.
Starting point is 00:58:15 It'll be tough because there's going to be like, how many? It's like seven of us. Yeah. And everyone's going to be packing all their Massanomics stuff. For sure. So it's just going to be, we're going to look like assholes. Yeah. Well, I mean, everyone there is going to look like an asshole.
Starting point is 00:58:29 From my experience with the Arnold last time, everyone there looks like an asshole. We'll probably look like some of the least assholey assholes there. Probably. But we'll be assholes. Yeah. We're going to act like assholes. But yeah, so we're looking forward to all that. But anything else guys negative ghost
Starting point is 00:58:47 rider the pattern is full all right so guys that'll do it for us today um thanks a lot for listening go to massonomics.com go to the store you can buy yourself the sweet weekend warrior shirt um you can buy all sorts of other shirts hats and whatnot while you're there. Go to Facebook. Follow us on Facebook. Click like. Share some shit. Share it up. Yeah, I still, as far as reviewing the podcast goes,
Starting point is 00:59:19 I really hope some people throw some really crazy things out there because I want to read these insanely. I checked yesterday or, yeah, last night. What was the number that you see? Well, we've got like 15 reviews, but there's still only 10 in which people had wrote things. But I think last week was the first time we said, you know, just write whatever and we'll read it. So I'm excited to just flex that creative writing muscle.
Starting point is 00:59:38 Let's just see what you can come up with, and we'd love to read those on air. We will read those on air. Yeah. There is another podcast that I listen to that I just expect to be more famous than ours that only has like four more iTunes reviews. Let's beat them.
Starting point is 00:59:52 We have to beat them. I don't want to give them any props because I don't want you listening to that one. Or giving them a review. And then giving them a review because they're also asking for reviews. But we're right in the hunt there. So if we can stay relevant with somebody that I think is probably relevant, that's a win. But I'd like to get from, what are we at, like 15?
Starting point is 01:00:12 To like, I don't know, 2,000 or 3,000 reviews. So if you guys want to get on that, I'd appreciate it. We'd probably be up there with Jillian Michaels on the fitness. We may have to release some bonus episodes where we just simply read your reviews verbatim. Which we can do. I'll do it. We can do that.
