Social media, website, everything. Massonomics! What's up, everyone? We're back for episode 515 of the Massonomics podcast. Yes, that's episode 15 of Season 2. We're recording live. I'm in the Dean. Where are you at, Tommy?

I'm in eastern southeast, South Dakota. Yeah. Sufu, Crew Falls and the Dean both equally represented this week. Thankfully for episode 515. This week's episode is brought to you by our good friends over at Texas PowerBars, of course. They've been doing this thing that they're doing since 1980

like no one else has. They are the go-to barbell. of Massanomics gym. We've got Texas power bars that have been riding strong in the gym for over a decade now. There's still some of my favorite bars in the gym. You know, we can find more expensive barbells out there. You can find ones that are imported from other countries,

that sort of thing, but nothing compares to a good old American-made Texas Power Barbar, buddy-capped barbell. I just love them. If you go purchase one of yourself, whether it's a Texas power bar, Texas squat bar, Texas power bar, 28 and a half, 29 millimeter, whatever it is, let them know your friends over at Massanomics sent you. And this episode was also brought to you by Juggernaut AI. Juggernaut AI is the smartest program for you.

Thank you, Juggernaut. AI. I think it's worth mentioning every week before we start recording the show, we record a

pre-show. The pre-show, it's like a show before the show. It's on recorded. It's on cut. It's unfiltered. Some people call it the greased show in all podcasting. But we do that each week just before we start recording, which we would have just ended that about five minutes ago. We had about a 20-minute pre-show this week. And I'll just say this. It was one of those pre-shows that you just had to be there, man. If you weren't there, you wouldn't get it. Let's just say you missed that on a piece of history. You're going to have to wait your turn like everyone else now.

Yes. So what I would suggest is becoming a supportive member if you're not to get in on the pre-shows. You know, there's Greece is what we call it in the pre-show or it's some very pre-show-specific topics that only get released on the pre-show. And this might have just been the biggest greasiest episode we've ever had. I think. I don't even know if there's an I think. I think it just is. It just is the greasiest pre-show episode we ever had.

We can't talk about any of it now. Maybe someday it'll make the full show, but for now it's just going to be for our pre-show. If you're on the fence, though, next week, you can still get in on the early, early knowledge of a big announcement. So if you have been waiting to be a supporting member, if you join now,

you can say you were there almost first. Right. So to the show show with the pre-show behind. It's just hard to get my bearings about me for the show show with all that pre-show. It's just going on. Such an experience. Like, yeah, I got to. First of all, where's Jose?

We are wearing the same. What's the odds that we wear the same longsleeves shirt? I'm like, I haven't worn this in weeks. I can't wait to wear this thing. Of course, you have it on. These longs, our longsleeve teas are freaking sweet. We're wearing the Apparel Co one. There's still a few of the gym tea one around.

You could buy this one's out, but you could get the Massonomics Gym, dark gray, long sleep one. That's a good. A lot of good feedback on these. I've had, you know, sporting members that have these that have texted me and been like, this is the best thing you've ever made. We need more long-sleeve tea.

So you never know when there might be another long-sleeve tea coming. What are you drinking over there this week, though, Tommy? That's what the world wants to know. I know, and I am thirsty. Raspberry nectarine Waterloo. Raspberry nectarine Waterloo. Did I have this last week or am I just imagining it? That, I think you did have a waterloo.

I've got something a little different over here. Yeah, what is that can I'm seeing? Did you re-spotting this earlier? Oh, I just saw it. Well, you pulled that out of there. What the hell is that? Can you see a little protein? Have you heard about this?

Yeah, Costco has those things. Nuri, ultra-filtered milk. milkshake, 30 grams of protein, one gram of sugar. It's 150 calories, two and a half grams of fat. And actually, this has, with real macros in there, just, uh, bared with me for one second while I add this to my macro factor. Yeah. Scan that thing.

Bared with me for just a second while I get this in here. There it is. It's got it in there. Extra 150 calories. I was saving them for this. Actually, that gets me 3,000. 951 calories for the day. Finished with 261 grams of protein,

over on fat, under on carbs. But it's like people that I like to hear, justify the things I like to hear say, don't worry too much about how much is fat and how much are carbs. Just make sure your total calories are working out in your protein. That's the main thing, right? But yes, I do use my macro factor app,

which you can use discount code. What is our discount? account code. It's Massonomics. Yeah. And you get a couple of three weeks, and I'm still going strong on macro factor. I don't know if we talked about it for a while, but still rocking and rolling. I'm too. You know what? I got a little chicken follow up. You know, there was a stretch where we were really getting into the details on shredded chicken and what your lunch looked like on a daily basis. Have you had that thing before or not? No. Oh, that's your first taste ever right now.

Have you had this before? No, I see them. And I'm just afraid to, because you got to buy like a 30 pack of them. I don't want to buy a 30 pack of it. Oh, that's good. It tastes like a you who. Oh, so it's not carbonated? Um, no. Oh, I see a can and I just think carbonation. And that was what was scaring me as a carbonated protein drink. Yeah. You know what goes good with you who rum?

Is it from an Adam Sandler movie? What's that from? Yeah, it is. Is that big daddy? I can't remember. Yeah, it's like, because they're on the playground and he's like, you know what goes good to you, or rum?

Yeah, that sounds great. It is good. I'm going to have this thing gone in about one more drink, actually. So it's darn tasty. I would recommend if you want something like this, I guess. I don't know. I don't really need, we talked about it, but just because of my diet,

I don't really need extra shots of 30 grams of protein. Usually. I mean, but who really doesn't actually need it, though, you know? That's true. And it is just delicious, actually. Okay. But we were talking chicken. You know, we're talking chicken for a while.

I want the chicken, chicken update. And you're really preaching the good word on shredded chicken. You know, we talked all the techniques for shredding it. I even learned about the $6. You can get on Amazon that does a pretty amazing job of shredding. Yeah.

After going and really trying this, I just think I've come to the conclusion. My preferred texture of chicken is just chopped up into small pieces. Oh, you like chopped up into small pieces. I just like chopped up into little pieces. little pieces. Yeah. I like chopped up into little pieces too.

I don't know why. Cubed. Yeah, cubed, yeah, cubed, yes. And not,

and you know, cube like, like when you're at Cuboba and it's cubed all nice, you know, like almost, almost the smaller, the better. Yep.

That just, for some reason, that just hits a little better for me. I like cubed also. Shredd is my favorite, but if shredded was banned by big brother, tomorrow and you could only have huge chicken. I would survive just fine going cubed.

I could, I can get down with cubed as well. My wife actually for the Super Bowl made, it was like this knockoff Kudoba recipe of chicken where it looked exactly like the Kedoba chicken, you know, when they, in a season. Did she bring a grill into your house? Did she bring a grill into your house too and cooked? No, she was grilling outside on the grill for it even.

And we had it. I'm like, not only is this like Kudoba, this is so much better. I could eat this for the next 100 days straight and not get sick of it. I guarantee it. Like I could eat that, you know, because I just had it with rice and cheese, of course. And I could eat. It was like Kudoba only even better probably. And I'm like, yeah, you could just make this all the time.

See, that's also been as I'm hitting chicken even more and more lately. I've just also come to the conclusion that my food has to be just heavily seasoned for me to eat it. And the easiest way to do that is just some type of Mexican taco seasoning of some kind. And then I can just do whatever with it. But that's really turn into my go-to lately. All right. And you've been logging it all in macro factor as well. I can also.

Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, this thing's gone. And that was with me like milking it as long as I could. Like things like this, I cannot not drink. Yeah, you really put that down. Okay. We got some topics this week.

Title topic, pending title topic could be the new equipment of 2026. We've been teasing this for about a month. Before we get to there, though, we got a lot of ground. Yeah, we're not. We're not jumping right into that. We can't commit to any title topic at this point, especially regarding new equipment. We just can't commit to that. I think we got a little follow up on last week's episode, Tanner.

Yeah. What was last week's episode? So last week's episode was our wild. Garage gym reviews equipment theory and got a lot of engagement, a lot of interest in that one. Coup himself, I don't know if he did much to quash those theories, if anything he contributed to it with his little reaction he made of him shoveling popcorn in his face and then just his high guys comment on the YouTube video. So it certainly seems like, yes, we could be on to something there. but just after you, right last week, I think right after we got out of the podcast,

I'm like, okay, I got to do some dig in here. And yes, I, if anyone else looked, it's obvious, like you said,

Coup's social posting has increased drastically. The garage room reviews, for being a company based off of making equipment, posts an embarrassingly little amount of content on their Instagram.

Like, I don't know since November, if they've had 10 posts or something. Like they post maybe once a week, which I don't, you can't do that. That's not how that works. So when you're in the business of content,

so make a post once a week. And then the other thing, we said, you know, there's some timeline out there. There's some timeline. And I'm like, when the hell,

this is what I'm trying to do my reason. I'm like, when the hell did pillar four buy garage room reviews? And this was kind of a point of contention with us way back in the day is that there was no, uh, clarity around that.

There was no clear. There wasn't any transparency around this thing. I think it was just one day someone reached out to us and was like, hey, just so you guys know, I think are not even I think some company bought Coop's channel like I think that was the podcast that we had back in the day is what spurred that is someone tipped us off to that because yeah there was no press release no transparency no announcement anything so it's really hard to figure out when that happened but I was Googling around the only thing I could find is there was an interview with was it like keel I took a screenshot it was like kilo kilo Kilo.net or something like that. What have we got?

Yeah, it's Kilo. Or usekilo.com. And they had a screenshot in there showing Pillar 4's acquisitions. And according to their screenshot, Pillar 4 acquired garage gym reviews in April of 2021. And what's five years from April of 2021? April, 26, which would mean about a month and a half, which actually fits the timeline of your theory perfectly well, Tanner. So time will tell.

but you initially had said, I think in the next six months to a year, seeing that, it might be in the next like six weeks where something could be happening. Yeah, it definitely is. First of all, I don't know if everything we said

to be to have to play back is 100% correct, but I'm pretty sure based on reactions. And then also I did have at least no less than three people DM that are in the know that said, I know the details. And I said, don't tell me.

We want to speculate on the podcast one more week. So don't tell me too much. But yes, three people in the community did say, yeah, yeah, that's right. Or like pretty much, yeah. And based on Coop's comments. And actually, I think Coop's making the perfect comments because I'm, no doubt Coop isn't allowed to talk about it yet. So if that is what's happening and someone starts advertising it for him,

is he going to be like, sweet. Let's get the ball rolling early. I'll just hang out over here. Oops. Who let the secret out? Yeah. Yeah. So Goop was probably like, sweet.

This is even, this is a great for getting it going. Because he can't probably talk about it really yet. But he can't probably control if we're talking about it. So I guess we'll see exactly how that plays out. but I guess no doubt that we're, we're pretty hot on the trail of what's going on there. Yeah. So more follow up to come, though, as that progresses, right?

Maybe even just like two months from now then. Yeah. At this point, yeah, until something happens, I guess we've done enough speculating for now. Now we just wait and see what actually goes down. Yeah. We'll wait until we can really, really utilize it for a really good title topic. Well, maybe this is what we'll do.

Once something happens, we'll just get him on the podcast. He can promote his new thing. Yeah, we'll let him do that. And that, that's, straight from the horse's mouth. Yeah, yeah. That's fair. You say he's probably champing at the bit to really,

I think he's real, he's champing real hard over there right now. I hate to be that bit because it's getting champed right now. It's going to, he's going to champ that thing damn in two. Damn near right in two. Well, okay. Here we go.

New drop. February 19th, 2026. I'm going to go ahead and say this. Yeah, this is going to be our biggest. This is at least to date our biggest drop of 2026. Oh, my God. Really?

Yeah, and it's factually accurate because we did have one in January, but this has like double the amount of items in it. So this is definitively our largest drop of 2026. We're just going to keep Marquisites and every drop. That's almost, that's not quite exponential. That's almost exponential, though. Exponential. Yeah.

doesn't. Yeah. I mean, this month is an exponential growth over last month. We went from two to four. That is an exponential growth. It's also doubling in this case, but that the exponential part's going to be really hard to continue next month because we'd have to do 16. Yeah, I don't want to do 16. It's too much. So we'll just, at least for one month, it's going to be exponential growth here. We do February 19th, like I said, if you're a supporting member, you get early access to that drop. There's going to be some real hot items in there, I think. Two T's both on comfort color T's. There is another item in there that's completely crew supporting member inspired

that I think is going to go like hot cakes. and then there is something deep out of the vault, out of the Massonomics vault that we resurrected from deep down. It was like, what's that called? It was like a time capsule that we buried years ago. We had to get on some map and directions. We couldn't even remember where we put it. We had to go look for it.

All right. You want to know my time capsule conspiracy theory? Oh, yeah. Nobody, like of all the time capsules that has been put down there, Nobody ever like follows up on that. Nobody's ever like, oh, how does that actually information even get past? Typically, like, oh, it's been 50. It's never, it's never come up.

Yeah, so there's just crap dug into the ground everywhere and nobody's ever picked it out of there. So, yeah, it's like a time capsule out of the vault, though. And I think that item in particular is going to go fast. What do you think? I mean, I'd be surprised if it didn't. Yeah, I think those, the crew inspired and the thing deep out of the vault, I think those are both going to be very fast seller. So it's going to be one of those drops.

You want to get in on it early and get in on it hard. Right off the jump. I don't, do we need, we probably don't need to show anything off yet, though, because that's still a week from now or, yeah, it's, I mean, I don't know. I guess we get, well, we kind of actually already did on Instagram. to a certain extent. Yeah, if you dig around Instagram, you'll see some previews of things.

Yeah. There's actually one thing hidden in plain sight in some of those Instagram posts. I know. I was laughing. Nobody caught what's going on there. I'm not going to elaborate anymore. I could give like even just some more vague context

would actually give it away. But there are, there is some stuff hidden in plain sight on some of those Instagram posts that nobody. That was my exact thought on that. A little trickery. They were hidden in plain sight. Okay, so that's the big drop.

I guess it's worth mentioning we alluded to talking on the pre-show, what we talked about on the pre-show, and that is going to be a big announcement on the show pretty soon, right? We have something very, very big to announce on the podcast within a couple of weeks. Yeah, within, yeah, probably the next two weeks we'll have a large announcement for the show. one of the biggest announcements we've ever had on the podcast, right? Like, I don't even know. Is it the biggest?

I mean, insert, like to us it is. To you and I, it is, right? It's the biggest. To some people won't be. But yeah, to us, it is the biggest announcement we've ever had. To some people, it won't be. But to a really large percentage of the audience, it will be. To some people, not as much, but it will bring in a very large percentage of the audience under the umbrella, I think.

Right. Yeah. God, I hope so. And it's something that we've been working on very diligently for kind of a long time. And it's really coming together. And we do have more crew members getting their first looks at it. So there are moles amongst you. So be very suspicious at this point of anyone saying anything.

They might know something. They probably do. Rob. Yeah. Do you think it's bigger? Garrett brought up an interesting point. Is it bigger than we announced when we announced the first ever lift hard, live easy classic?

That's a pretty big announcement. That would be, that has to be on the Mount Rush more of announcements. That one is different, though, and that that one was just purely announcement. No work had got into anything yet or this one. You know, that one,

we were. From an announcement standpoint, it's really big, though. Yes, yes. That one, the announcement was front loaded in the way that the announcement and the work was on the back end here it's like well we've kind of done all the work and now we're

announcing it at the end so they were just different at different ends of it but yeah so but if there if there's a mount rush more of announcement though lift hardly be easy this new project and then tyler leaving the podcast that could be on the that's a pretty big rush more yeah to anyone that's listen to the first hundred episodes right if you didn't that if you were listening at the time it was a big announcement yeah and we like it all we shared it on wasn't it like we announced it and he was gone like the next episode or it was really fast it was something like that or there was maybe one more episode we recorded that might have been and then which is funny he was gone now so what would be the fourth one on the mount rushmore of a podcast announcement

i think those three are those three are big um i don't know we really hyped up the announcement of the billboard for a long time yeah like that was a thing but because it was we have something big coming if we hit a certain X number of reviews. That was pretty big. That was especially at the time. Crazy moment at the time. Yeah. Now it doesn't because we've just like this is another thing.

Like it doesn't even like register as being significant. But we've already, we've got our billboard booked here for this next summer. So we are going to have a billboard again. In our usual spot for everyone that comes for the lift hardly busy, there will be a billboard again. That could be it though. That could be the fourth one.

That was a big deal at the time. That one other big deals in the time was like probably the first. time we talked about having a booth at the Arnold. Like that was a big deal to us at the time. But that was a big decision at the time even too. Like when we were when we sat and said, well, we really could do it. Like the most money we never spent on anything related to Massonomics at that point in time. Yeah.

And not that were some high rollers now or something like that, but that amount of money we spend very frequently on a lot of things. The idea of like putting a few thousand dollars down there was like, whoa. Are we sure we want to do this? Yeah. Okay. So stay tuned for that big announcement that is coming eventually. Do we want to do supporting our supporting members?

Yes. Let's do it. Okay. Supporting our supporting members is a relatively new segment, particularly to season two of the podcast. This is just the 15th time we've ever done supporting our supporting members here in season two. Are you sure you bought that number? Have you been counting the whole time? I kind of feel like I'm keeping it right.

I think it's the first time I've ever addressed it this way, but it also feels like I've done it several times. I can't tell for sure. Okay. Oh, I'll take your word for it. So you can become a supporting member by going to masanomics.com slash join. This is still the number one way that you can support massonomics. We fire off a lot of different ways you can support massonomics. the biggest thing that keeps the ship afloat is the supporting membership program.

It keeps our lights on, our George Foreman Grills hot, our grease, greasy, our daisy chains chained. Yeah, everything that we need, it keeps it the way we need those things. The way the name wants it to be. Whatever away, whatever, yeah, it keeps water in our hoses. Your supporting membership keeps the garden that keeps the water in our garden hoses. Absolutely. Yes. Well,

puts the lead in our pipes. Yeah. So please, if you like the show, even if you just tolerate the show, please consider joining up. It's as cheap as affordable as just $3 per month. And upwards from there,

you can go all the way to 69. Yeah. There are people at that. level. So yeah, that could be you. I dare you. I double dog dare you to sign up for the nice level. The nice level of $69 per month. Just do it. I dare, I dare someone to listen to this and go sign up for it right now. I challenge you. I bet you won't. Okay. Yeah, I'd like to see 10 people go do it right now. I bet you won't. I bet you can't. You can't even do it. You couldn't even do it if you wanted to. So we'll report back next week if that worked at all. This week's supporting members.

Big Eddie and Big Devon had a crew meetup. Big Dutch Matt competed at a strongman battle in Eindhoven and he got fourth place. Oh. Big Joe Guns hit a family PR with the birth of his new son. Congratulations, Big Joe Guns. Big Toby competed in a strong man competition, the ATP classic. He did quite well. stellar performance including a big PR for him on the deadlift of 705 pounds. Yeah, that was awesome. So I believe Toby and Dodds had a longstanding race to 700 pound deadlift. And I guess that that signifies the end of the race, right? The end of the finish line has been crossed.

The race has been run. Unpaid and underrated guests this week. Unpaid and underrated is our braddy little sister podcast. Another perk of becoming a supporting member As you could be a guest on that podcast Which features a new guest every week That is a supporting member And this week's guest, none other than big Rory

Roarman strength As seen in a recent Massonomics YouTube gym tour As heard as the Singer, songwriter of We Used to Be a proper Friggin' country, which you can find on Spotify. Oh, I do get along those lines. You know, you had that sweet banner.

I just hadn't checked my mail in like nine days. I had one of those sitting in my mail too. Yeah. So thank you, you're going to hang it up back there in the background. No, it's going in the bedroom, actually. Above on the ceiling. So thank you to all of our supporting members.

Do we, should we do a certified training facility the week this week? I don't know why we'd stop once we started this streak we have. Once you get this ball rolling, you can't hardly stop, can you? No, you cannot. Can't stop, and for that matter, won't stop. Just looking around right now. Just getting our list pulled up.

So last week we were in Boston for a very unique little dungeon gym. I wonder where we go this time. Oh, you know what? Let me see. I might have something cool here maybe. All right. Actually, I do have something pretty cool here, actually. Okay.

All right, where are we headed this week? We're going to our neighbors to the north. Just, you know, not too far from Scants, actually. Okay. There's a little place called the lab. The lab. Oh, yeah. Look at that lighting.

See this? I've heard about this. I have heard about this. Have you actually? I mean, I entered this at one point in time. Okay. Okay. All right.

Yes. It didn't appear here magically. So, yeah, technically you've seen everything, whether you remember it or not is a different story. When there's over five. It is kind of challenging to remember them all. So that's... Okay.

We're looking at the lab in... Where are we at? Oh, God. What is this French name? Something New Brunswick. Way east. What is that? Oh.

Well, it's by St. Thomas to Kent. I don't know how you say that name. It looks like... Which one is at the... Bachtuch or something. But I know that's not how you say it. Oh, yeah. No way that's how you say that.

I'm going to say it's, uh, no, I don't know. I don't know how that. I'm going to say it's book-touch. Let's see what, uh, Google has. The brocary. Buck-toosh is what it says. Buck-touch. All right.

Here we go. French for Buck-Cherry. Just kind of remind me of Buck-Sherry, yeah. It's Canadian French for Buck-Cherry. That's right. Yeah. Okay, the lab. We're looking at it.

First up, I don't know what this is actually. Oh, this is a basement, I think, when I go through some of the pictures. I believe we're looking at a basement. But really cool. So they have the walls painted a mix of gold. And they have a... I love gold. Yeah, this is like gold color.

And then they have a black accent wall and a black ceiling with these hex lights. And you see the hex lights around, but they have hex lights on some of the walls, which is really cool too, because you don't see that too often. And this first image in the foreground, Tanner, we have the preacher curl bench,

a body solid one right there. Then we have a concept to, what, the ski erg right there. Ski-erg. Ski-ergan. And then if we go to the next photo, photo number two, this looks like the cardio corner

with a little bit of something extra here. We got an elliptical, a concept two rower and then what is that what make and model we're dealing with there like yeah lake curl leg extension of some kind seated yeah it's a plate stack one

it looks nice I can't tell what brand it is for sure though I can't either it does look pretty nice and that's all that's in that photo photo three it's just a close up of the skier photo four we got the full view of the room here and it's interesting because we have

we have a rack there so there's an adjustable bench is that a standard bar like a standard one inch bar see the weight plates on there? Yeah we do not see that too often do we Yeah no I think that's how they do it in Canada It must be a metric thing

Yeah they prefer one inch weights because of the metric system Yes So you get that A pretty standard little kind of squat stand rack there. Nothing too crazy.

But then the next photo, photo five, we have a functional trainer. I feel like this is the same branding that's on that leg extension leg girl. Yeah, it is, but I just can't tell what that little red logo is.

It's just small enough. It looks like a nice functional trainer, though. You got a dual stack. Okay, are you catching what's going on here, though? Is it just me or did they have to cut a hole into their ceiling to fit this thing in there? Oh, yeah.

They definitely, I think, That they just had to get rid of the ceiling. Like it looks like they didn't have to cut the floor choice and notch them out at all. But just like the actual, they must have been within. They needed like four inches. Clearance.

Yeah. Just a couple inches in the other of the ceiling. So the ceiling above the- Sometimes that's all you need, am I right? It makes all the difference. Sexual jokes. That, that, yeah, that functional trainer, though, to make it fit, the ceiling had to go.

And, I mean, it does seem like a nice functional trainer for a home gym. Yeah, it does. Yep. And then photo six, we have... There's the big rack. Yeah, there's the big rack and another hole in the ceiling to fit the rogue rack in there. And what do we got? It's Keith would like this.

We got the Rogue Monster Light rack in orange. Yep. And it's got the little, is that maybe like a Bells of Steel boulder shoulder thing on there? Yeah, it's definitely the rack mounted that lateral range. weighs, you know, plate weighted machine. I don't know if it's bells of steel or what, but. Do we have a little stereo in the corner over there? Tanner, you've seen that thing?

That was that a receiver? Yeah. That looks like it could have been straight out of Massonomics gym. Do you think they set a limit on the weight on the, on the audio, on the volume, so no one blasts it too loud? If they didn't, they should. Yeah. So that is the lab. Cool looking gym.

I like it. I've got there. I don't know. I'm just wondering, do you think you could get strong in the lab with Big Randy? Oh, hell yeah. Yeah, we getting strong in the lab, Oh, Joe.

Excuse me, Bonseng, La. That's a French for hell, yeah. I had to Google it quick. I just knew it. Took a little French back in high school.

I just knew it. All right, sweet certified training. facility of the week. Should we boot out all these live listeners that have been free loading all night long? They're still here? There's oodles and oodles of them around. There's oodles.

I thought they would have got the picture by now and just left their own free will. But sometimes you just got to kick their ass out. That's what I've noticed over the years. It's what I get for making the assumption. And the best way to kick their ass out is put on a barefoot, pair of barefoot shoes and then kick their ass out in barefoot shoes. shoes. It doesn't really make it any easier or harder, but you darn sure look good doing it in a pair of barefoot shoes. I like the barefoot ursus gen 2 or gen 1. I like the black suede and I like those

as either low top or high top. I have low top gen 1, high top gen 1, high top gen 1, and low top gen 2 of all black. and those are my three favorite pairs of shoes that I have from barefoot. I've got a couple others. Those are my favorite. And then the Bruin Boot is in a slightly separate category. It's my favorite boot that I have from Barefoot is the Bruin Boot. Whether you're buying a low top, a high top, a Gen 1, a Gen 2, a boot, a shoe, canvas, suede, white, black, any other color in between.

Use discount code, Massonomics. It'll save you 10% on every order from Barefoot. Thank you, barefoot. Barefoot. Do you want to hit the Strength Co button for me? Boy, boy, howdy, do I want to? Does the Pope wear a funny hat? This is the Strength Company.

We've set out to build a better barbell plate on American soil. We ended up here at Wisconsin's legendary Wapaka Foundry, With over 60 years of iron working experience, the foundry had the knowledge, technology, and processes to build our weights to our exact specifications. The strength company plates are slim but rugged, smooth but easy the grip, and electrocoded for durability and to look great in your gym. This is the next generation of American iron, only available from the Strength Company. yeah that just hits from the strength code doesn't it just hits that's a good way putting it strength dot co title topic are we actually doing this thing uh we can do the title topic or you know i have another thing i've been thinking about if we want to think about the title

topic a little yeah i don't want to just jump into this yeah it feels like we're almost jumping into it okay that's a good point okay this is this could almost fall under it is the new equipment thing we're gonna we're thinking about talking about here so i but i don't want to want to jump into it headfirst. Right. Yeah. I mean, we've been thinking about this for three weeks now. We'd hate to just, just all of a sudden.

At this point, do you rush it? Like, we've let it marinate so well. Then what do you do? Just rush it. It would be just foolish. Like, we'd look like podcasting amateurs then. We'd look like complete horses assholes by doing that. It's not what you want.

You do not want that. Okay. This could almost fall under a heavy thought segment, Tanner. I was thinking about this to the day. I'm just got this little theory. It's little theory. Heavy thoughts. Do we have any heavy thoughts?

Do we have any heavy thoughts segment music? Do we, you know, that's not a button we have a lot. Yeah, I don't have you have something cooking over there. I got something for you here, I think. I just want to make sure I do this right. Yeah, okay, that's good heavy thoughts. Yeah, yeah, like a little acoustic. Yeah, that's good.

Acoustic. Okay, so here's my theory. I'm curious what you think on this. I know some people won't agree with me. Some people might, but have you ever heard of the, the little thought process behind fast, cheap or good. You can pick two. You can't have all three.

They've heard of that little paradox. Yeah. You know, maybe you want someone to work on something for you. Yeah. You know, like that's the thing is like it's like I picture you go to an old small town mechanic and they have the sign behind there. It's a triangle. I can do a fast.

Fast cheap or good. Choose too. Also get the hell out. Free beer tomorrow. Just some signs that are like really smart ass about everything. You know. Is this good customer service? Because it kind of seems like you're being mean.

Right. It's like if the if the, if no one's here, it's because we're drinking out of the hose out back. Some sign like that. And if you don't like our service, you can get the hell out and don't let the door hit you where the good lord split.

Yeah. And it's all on a sign. Yeah. A lot of just really passive-aggressive sides, letting you know that the customer is always wrong. That's how you know, you're at a place where they know what's up. It's like the small-town bar waitress, stereotypically, that is so annoyed with all the regularity that hates everyone,

but also- That's real also. For anyone that has never been to a small-town bar or whatever. But not even a small-town, like in Aberdeen. I mean, there's... Oh, I mean, it's... You know, there's people that have their clientele everywhere and people got to go. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, some people are just bad at their job. Yeah, true. Some people, it like does become their thing, though, that they're like the asshole. Right. And it is almost like funny in a way, too, because they're secretly not, but it kind of is their thing. It's their, you know, everyone goes to work. They got to put on, you know, they got to put on their costume for the day.

And the costume for that day is to be cranky. and angry about their job. Yes. Yes. When they're actually smiling on the inside. So anyway, so you got this triangle, this dilemma of, of, you know, fast, cheap and good. You got this triangle. I was thinking, you know, as a lifter, you kind of have a triangle too.

You could maybe call it the iron triangle. And you have this triangle. I'm loved, first of all, I'm loving this. Okay. I think you're going to relate to this. You have this triangle. And instead of fast, cheap and good. I'm going to put two, I'm going to put three different things on there. I'm going to put

um, lifting, family and job. And God, yeah, if it's not the truth that it's really, it's like, you can pick two. You can really, like, you can really put effort into two. Any two at any point. It's really hard to put like full effort into three, like really hard. Um, and you know, when I think about it, like times were like, well, no, I've done all three just fine before. And I'm like, well, Actually, I've done all three just fine because one of the other ones is slacking. Right. And because I wasn't at, like my job was easy at the time. Yeah, exactly.

That was it. It's like, well, I got away with this before. And it's like, well, actually work wasn't that busy then is what it was going on. Like, I didn't have that much going on or, or, you know, if you don't have kids, you might be like, well, I don't. It's like, well, just that side of your triangle is missing. The family, the dad's side of the triangle is gone. Yeah, you don't have to worry as much about that side of the triangle because it just is the circumstance. Yes.

What I'm getting at is, you know, we've had the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the work angle of the triangle cranked just as far as it can go for so long. So ours is like a right triangle right now. It's a very obtuse angle on this thing. And then like, you know, I've been just trying, like lifting is really ramping up for me. It's getting to a more advanced level than where I typically am. Yeah. And the other day I'm like, God, I just, for these type of workouts, I need to devote more time to this.

Like if I really want to be successful at these, I need to devote more time. And then I'm like, well, I'll just have to cut more. I'm just the exact thought process. I'll just have to cut some out of the workday. I'm like, actually, I can't do that. Right? Like, that's not an option. I'm like, okay. Well, I guess I'll just have to lift longer and not like do family dinner and stuff.

I'm like, I'm not going to be like, sorry guys. Dad's got to have a two hour lifting session. I'll see you after dinner for a little bit before you go to bed. I'm like, I'm not going to do that either. So I'm like, okay, I guess I'll just have to limp through lifting for a little bit here. And that's when the whole theory clicked with me is like, nope, nope, you get, you might get away with some stretches of maybe doing being able to do all three but a sustained period of like all three really cranked all the way up in my opinion is almost damn near impossible

could you do the whole thing again and call it the iron triangle and I'll be silent and do it tanner really concisely Tanner listen to me here I got this theory I've been thinking about it it is the iron triangle we got a triangle with three points here the points are lifting careers and family and man making all three of those work. You can pick two. Having all three, that's tough. That's tough. Did I do it?

Cut. We got the socials. That is true, though. That is very true. Or like you could take a little from all of them and all of them suffer a little. You know, like it's a give and take from all of them. But yeah. And that is the thing, too.

It's like, yeah. you can just dial them all back a little bit and then you have some more moderation, but just we are in. And then none of them are awesome. We're in extreme times right now. We don't have one of them can't be dialed back at the moment. Right. And you don't really ever want to dial back your family too much for too long.

Well, that's also the thing too. Yes. Like there are. There are guys like, no, I work. But then you're just not. I work 10 hours a day and I live five hours a day. I'm like, yeah. And you see your family zero hours a day.

You're just not admitting that. Like that's right. You know, and that's actually how a lot of guys get around it is, you know, they're. And there might be, it's always just periods of time. And some people, like if you're going to do a competition, you may have worked out with your family that's like, not for this next like two months. This is going to be.

And that's the thing is more of a thing. When I think about that, you know, in the summer when we're really like, you know, getting into the peaking session for us, I'm like, ah, I am really dialed in. And I just think I could not keep the sustained focus all year because I know for those like how important those lifting sessions are.

that I am like really carving out the time of my day to make those happen by taking more out of work and, you know, trying not to, but possibly taking a little more of family time. And like that's just not a long-term sustainable thing for me is to have that approach. So like, luckily that's only for a month or so of the of the year. To that point, I have, I'm in the almost wrapped up with a delode week right here. And when this delode, the end of my last week, I was. so thankful that a delode was coming. I was like, I just am so worn out right. And I had some really good training sessions prior to that where I was pushing some numbers

higher and it just zapped me, you know, because I'm not, my sleep is like at least an hour or less than it should be every single night. And that catches up a little bit. I think that's the biggest one for me is, is that part of it. Is that that just staying up too late? And I was looking forward to the delode so much. And actually just even my, my last working. sets of deadlift prior to the deed load.

I was like, oh my God, this feels so hard and bad. And after kind of almost a week of delode to do my, it was really light deadlift today as a part of my delode, but I was like, okay, uh, like something's coming back. I can, I can just like feel my body being like, oh, yes. Yeah. I'm like, okay. I think I can give in one more week, I will actually be back to some numbers. The numbers will make more sense again.

Just my pitch at what a delode is. It's like the theory I like either you, you don't have to call them delodes, but every style of programming does something like this at some point in time. Or you never do it and you break. Yeah, you're just not going balls to the wall all the time. Right, right. I had something, a little juicy piece of news that we had never covered before. We're going to have our booth at home gym con this year for home gym con 2026.

That comes like two days after the Lift Hard Live Easy classic or something. That's an exaggeration. But I think it's, is it the weekend next weekend or is like two weekends. I think it's a Lift Hard Live Easy. The next weekend is free. Yeah, it's a lift hard living. The next weekend I think is Bryce's wedding. That's what I'm going to say.

It's not technically free. It's Bryce's wedding. Then the next weekend is Home GymCon. So it's a, it's a. It's a stretch. But we are going to be there. We're going to have a Massonomics booth. It should be a very exciting booth.

We've got some big things cooking in relation to that booth also. But the big draw, and most people have heard about this if you're in the know on Home GymCon at this point. This is old news. But Brian Shaw is going to be there and have a booth this year. And that does speak to, I mean, I said it last year. When I called you from Home GymCon, you couldn't go last year. We went together two years ago and was like, oh, yeah, this is definitely. definitely, you know, this is picking up steam and like this is becoming a thing.

And like when I called you from last year, I'm like, no, this is. Yeah, it was while you were still there. Yeah. Yeah. This is like it's different now. Like this thing is taking off. And this is one of those things that, A, it's really going to continue to help it grow.

But B, it also proves that to me. Like when Brian Shaw wants to come there and have a booth, that's just different. Like two years ago when we were there, Brian Shaw wouldn't have been there and had a booth. Like that would have been odd for that to be taking place. Now I'm like, no, that's like what this event is like. Yeah.

Like that's not, it totally makes sense to me. And Brian's a huge name. Like that is a huge, it's not like you got some random guy that competed at World Strongest Man 10 years ago, but no one knows who, like he's the guy. Right. So it's just cool. Yeah. It makes me, I mean, I'm already really excited for Home JimCon.

This makes me even more so. Did we already talk about this now that I'm thinking about this? I don't think we did. I think just you and me talked about it on the phone was all. Okay. I don't think we talked about it. Because didn't I say the thing or maybe this was just you and I talking about it that what I want everyone to do because they'll be like 70, literally,

they'll be like 75 massonomic supporting members at home gym come, maybe even 100. What I want everyone to do, like, because Brian will have a line and everyone to get to meet Brian if you want to is everyone like not rudely. Like I want him to laugh at this at the end of the day, not be like, I hate these guys. But to suggest to him that it'd be like, oh, it'd be great to see you have a home gym tour with Masonomics. I love your home gym.

I can't wait to see you have a Massonomics home gym tour someday. Like, Brian, I can't believe for as awesome as your home gym is that you haven't had a tour from the Massonomics guys yet. And by like the 30th time he hears that, he's going to start laughing eventually because he's going to know that there's a thing. But also at some point in time he's going to think, huh, I wonder if I should do a home gym tour with the Masonomics guys. It seems like it's coming up here or something.

So that's my, that's what I want to happen. We'll refresh everyone on those plans when the time gets closer. Yes, but be prepared to think of what you're going to say to Brian about this. We'll give you some scripts that you can try. Yeah. And also, for some people, if you haven't met people like that at conferences or these events and stuff, wouldn't be it's not going to be bad because it gives you one thing to talk about at least too it's an icebreaker yeah you got you got your icebreaker right there okay now the title topic maybe maybe now you know

we're only 50 minutes in maybe we're maybe now's the appropriate time you don't feel like this is jumping into it or i'm slightly it's maybe a touch early but it's i mean i'll make an exception here all right and you know what that means that after teasing it for a month. It's finally time to talk about the new equipment that I either have received or have coming for Massonomics Gym in the beginning of 2026. So do we want to hear the list? I've currently got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven things on the list.

I definitely don't know all these pieces. I got to figure out what's going on here. All right. And we can talk about if you have any, if we want to talk, we can talk as much or as little about any of these as we would like. Are you going to give me the full list right away? and then we'll start picking it apart. I just might just go one by one.

Okay, okay, that works. I'm going to start with something that actually just that already showed up and that I have put together. It is the bridge built barbell stable that I bought from Gluck. Oh, I've just realized I did see the Instagram photo, but we've never talked about this actually. Yeah. Okay.

So this is good because when we were, if anyone watched our tour with Gluck, which watch it if you haven't. Yeah, you should watch it. very, very excellent tour. You do mention how you like that piece a lot. I think it was off air when we weren't recording. You said, I want to buy that.

But, you know, it's kind of the joke of, oh, but it's going to be really expensive to ship this thing. But no, I want it. And so did you guys stay in touch about that piece or what? He messaged me one day. Well, this was actually months ago. And he's like, do you actually want to buy that? And I'm like, oh, yeah, if it's, we,

it was fairly expensive to ship. It came in two boxes, but he gave me a fair. Like, I didn't spend nothing on it. That thing costs like, nine. $900 new. Yeah. So it is very expensive. But it is a vertical, yeah.

It's a two-sided vertical barbell holder that's on wheels. And how many bars does it hold on each side? Six on each side. Okay. So it's a 12 barbell. And it's all red and kind of customized and made it three by three. Yeah, it's got like Lux logo on it. And it does.

It does like cool. Um, and Jake from garage gym experiment had one when we were, when we toured his gym. He did? Yep. He had one too. It wasn't on wheels. Maybe that's what's thrown me off.

I can't picture his for some reason. It wasn't on wheels, but he did have one. Okay. I like it. It's really cool. And like with the idea of ever get, the barbell storage was basically maxed out at the gym. So I needed something.

The on wheels is interesting. You know, some people are like, well, I could picture someone rolling that around and like rolling it into the deadlift platform and tipping all 12 barbells over. And I just...

A couple barbells weighs so much. Well, Well, yeah, I weighs 500 pounds to begin with if you have it loaded it up. And it has wheels on it, which is nice in theory. The wheels and the casters are awesome on it. It rolls so smoothly and so easily. But I really don't picture it getting rolled around very much. I mean, it has wheels on it.

I could just as easily take, like routinely it's not going to get rolled around at all, I would say. It may just if I'm literally moving things or there could be a time when it's useful that it has wheels, but essentially it's going to, practically speaking, it's like it doesn't have wheels, kind of. It's not like the calibrated kilo plates where, although most people don't even wheel those around, they just grab it off the, it's on a rack with wheels,

but people don't wheel those around either. Okay. So that's cool, though. Yeah, yeah. So how long have you had that a couple weeks now, haven't you? Yeah, at least a few, maybe even almost a month. I made the video where it was like a bad infomercial black and white,

like the barbells were spilling all over the place. Okay, so how many bars do you actually have on it now then? Like four. Oh, yeah, you got to fill that sucker up. Yeah. But the problem is the thing about storage in general at Massanomics Gym is if things are not mostly full, then people don't know where to put things. Like I can't have too many open gaps or else people put stuff in really stupid spots.

Yeah, yeah. That is true. So I need a few more bars. actually is what that what I've decided it's a chicken or the egg what came first needing more storage or needing more bars and it's not the chicken or the egg it's just whichever one then it's the next one yeah it's just always a that's why that's why it never stops because you're always just like just chasing your tail yeah yes okay that's item number one what we got next next thing also just showed up here this week the exponent

Edge rackable camber bar. That thing looks cool. What's the initial impressions on it? So it's very nice. I didn't know what I was getting into with that exactly. And so people don't know. Maybe explain what that bar actually is. Yeah.

Also, I would say full disclosure on this one, and I'll say this where if it's applicable on anything. I did not pay for that bar. That was Exponent Edge. We do have an affiliate link with that. And you can check out that company. make several different cool things. I didn't know that much about them prior to that. And it's cool. And I've been wanting a camber bar. So a camber bar is also called a

McDonald bar. And we come across them relatively frequently. We do actually surprisingly. Yeah. And it's a, you know, it's a barbell. And then about one third of the way in on each side from the sleeve, it goes up usually about three or four inches. There's, literally like the bar's almost like notched out and then straight across. Do some people call it a seal row bar? Do some people call it that? Well, it is kind of the same thing as that. But those I,

it is kind of the same thing as that, I think. Okay. I didn't know if people use those interchangeably or if one was actually different. I don't know. It seems like they're almost like marketed differently, but they're almost the exact same bar. So I don't know what the technical specifications different is between those two or if some just do.

But so I. I did like it. I benched with it a little bit the other day on my delode. I did a delode bench. It's all black. Is it coated or what is the, what's giving it that black look? Yeah, I guess it's a surcoat finish on it. I didn't actually even look into the specs of that part of it. But it worked very well to bench. You know, I had like 275 on it. And it was good. Have you ever bench with a bar like that before? No, the range of motion is extreme too. Like that four inch camber, that feels way deeper. I believe it. So we do have, uh, like the duffalo bar and I bench with that many times. This does definitely feel different than that though. But this bar specifically, a few things.

So the diameter is smaller than a normal barbell. And if I'm using this as like an accessory to do arms or something like that, that's totally cool. If I'm using it like an easy curl bar, that's all just fine. But as my heavy, like if I'm going to do benching with it, I kind of want it to be 28 and a half millimeters or 29. Right. Instead of like that. And then the other thing is the sleeves are fairly short and it weighs 31 pounds.

Oh, it's kind of a weird weight. Yeah. It says it's a 28 millimeter bar on their website. Does it not feel 28? I suppose it is 28 and that's just, I guess it's just the half millimeter difference. I could have sworn it felt more of a difference than that. Yeah. It's more like a deadlift bar, but...

Right. Okay. So, all right. So then you said the sleeves are a little short on it. Yeah, the sleeves are... It's just like a small bar. It's not like a full-sized barbell. It's more like a rackable, easy curl bar.

Like, I would use it more interchangeably with that. So if you're going to do... Because where the camber is on the bar, you could also grab it there to do curls, like an easy curl bar. Yeah. So for that kind of thing, I think the bar's awesome. I just don't think that this is the best Camber bar for like heavy benching

for someone that Oh okay Yeah okay Went to the picture The sleeves are pretty short on it I do see that Yeah I mean most people won't be loading it up

Which doesn't really matter Yeah No it doesn't really matter For what you're going to use this bar I just I think you think of this bar More like an iraqable easy curl bar It was just like a different shape to it Is what it's kind of more like

It looks really cool I'll give it that It's made nicely it looks really cool It worked just fine for it. I don't know why. I guess it's just my powerlifting monkey brain that I'm like, I would like it to be 29 millimeters and, you know, longer sleep. I think the weirdest part is the 31 pounds.

It's a very odd number. Yeah. Yes. But it's made nicely. Yeah. I'd like to try that out the next time in the gym. I think it looks really cool. Yeah.

The stretch is very deep when you bench with that too. Yeah. Okay. Next on the list. This one hasn't showed up yet. Hopefully it's showing up soon. I actually got to check on an update because I think it was supposed to be in February. I ordered this a while ago, and I probably had talked about it,

but it's the Strong Arm Sport Monster Bar. And that is the barbell that will be used for the Max deadlift event of the Lift Hardly v. 2026 Strongman competition. So there's got two bars, two of these coming. One of them is Jake and Abby's from Hyden Strength for running the Strongman competition. one of them is theirs and then mine is the other one. We got them shipped together. But it's the 10 foot long, almost like elephant bar.

It's what they're, it's monster bar is the technical term from Strong arm. And it's 10 feet. It's actually a 10 foot bar. Yeah, it's a 10 foot bar. Damn, that is a big bar. Yeah. So two of those should be showing up soon, hopefully. It's the idea of that thing being in the gun rackers means it's just a funny thought.

It's not going to go to the ceiling or where, you know, go to the, yeah. It's just, yeah, wherever it's going, it's covering a lot. lot of growed. Yes. Okay, I did purchase. I know I haven't been strongly on the hunt for vintage weights, but about a month ago for a guy from Minneapolis, I purchased a pair of Berg Handel Wide Hub vintage weights. Okay. So Burge Handel. I'm not sure I'm familiar with those. Yeah, Ephron has, um, oh, he did. Like on his, yeah, like, uh, you've seen him before. I think Um, you just have to look them up. Yeah, I'm taking them on your, your radar.

You can see Berghandel. And then there's the older birdhentel, wide hub, yeah, I have the wide hub, which is like the slight or newer one. Okay. Um, but still very kind of rare and sought after. And, uh, haven't picked those up yet. I think he lives by the cities and we're just going to coordinate sometime when neither I'm going that direction or he's coming here. Oh, okay. So did you know this guy or how, what was the connection?

Uh, no. they popped up and somewhere and I've been like I really have wanted a pair of these and they were really nice and I'm like

yeah I'm just buying them I don't know it. It was a kind of I wouldn't say I bought it the day I saw them but after a couple days

I'm like yep I want to buy those then the vintage plate that had been the highest on my list for a while these are just getting shipped to me. I just bought these yesterday

I don't know why I'd really started to want these ones are Iron Man and we saw these at Ephrains Dave Tate actually had one pair of Iron Man's and Iron Man's are usually either 50s or 100s. Yeah.

What were Dave's? I think he's were 100s. Yeah, that's how I was going to say two, but yeah, okay. But I got 50s. I didn't really want the 100s because they're more difficult. Yeah, I wanted the 50s, and I got a really cool pair from a supporting member, Big Ben, is shipping those out to me

this week, actually. So I've got blue Iron Man 50 pound plates. So are they all Iron Man plates blue or what's the story there? I'm not sure. Okay. I think it's definitely a color of Iron Man plates. I don't know if they are. I don't know well enough.

But these definitely are blue. But blue is like what quite a few of them actually are. Yeah, I've seen that quite a bit. Yes. Well, that's pretty cool. So that's it on my vintage weights. Now are those going to go in. That's a good question.

Actually, what I'm going to, what I'm probably going to do is sell my, Gray Schistler Eagle plates. Because I got the blue ones. Yeah. So I'm going to get rid of the gray Schistler Eagle. Yeah. And then there is like one more little bit of finaggling on the plate wall I can do to make this other set fit there. So what I'm going to end up with is the middle section, the middle row.

The middle row. I think it's going to be all blue plates. It'll call them. The middle column. Okay. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah, not row column.

Really? So what's all blue? Iron Man, the Schistler's the... Jackson. Ironman, Schistler, Wheater crosshubs. And maybe it's just four. So I actually need one more. That's pretty cool, though.

Yeah, that's kind of a column of blue ones. That is a cool. I like that. That's the thought there. Yeah, that's cool. Okay. Now into more contemporary. My last two pieces here, they haven't showed up yet.

I just got an update email. It sounds like they've hit the United States. they're going to be working on packing them up soon. They just got like 500 of the machines in of various machines. It is from Temple of Gaines. If you've been following along with basement brand, and you'll see he just got his multi-flight. Well, I got the Temple of Gaines multi-flight V3 in black.

And then the Temple of Gaines leg extension, seated leg curl V3. Okay. I could not, I knew you were getting the leg extension leg curl. I could not remember if you said you were getting the multi-flight or not. So, okay, that's a cool addition. Yes, I got both.

I'm going to the seated leg extension slash seated leg curl V3 from Temple of Gaines is going to replace the current seated leg extension that I have. Okay. So you'll keep the old leg curl. Yeah, the lying leg curl because this one is a seated leg curl. So now I, now you technically could do a seated leg curl or a lying leg curl at the gym. Okay. So that's going to sell off the seed of the

Or is it spoken for already? Several people have said so, but nobody's like 100% committed. I think it's going to sell really easily. I think it's too. A lot of people want that sort of thing. And then the multi-flight, I don't know if you've been in the gym recently at all,

but there's been like three stacked up horse stall mats kind of sitting towards the entrance store. They're right in front of the calf raise machine and the rogue echo bike. And I'm just going to move. those finally since they've been sitting there since the lift hardly vZ classic just going to move those and the multi-flight's going to go literally right there like right in front of the for the lateral yeah okay yeah like on the surface if you're very used to being in massonomics gym you might say that all that how can a machine go there and i'm pretty confident once it's there you're like it can easily go there

and you know there's no yeah so that's my plan for where that's going to go and full disclosure on those We do plan on doing review videos of those, but I did pay money for those. I got probably a better deal than what, you know, your average customer gets, but I did pay money for those machines, but we are planning on doing review just because I think they're interesting. I think they're cool,

and I think people will want to see some more information on it. You said black on both of them? Both blacked out. Yeah. Yeah, I'm excited to see those. Those are big upgrades for that side of the gym. Yeah, for sure. And then I think those are the final things that I need to get strong finally.

You think so? That's where the gains are to be made now. Yeah, I can't think of a single thing we would ever need after all of that stuff. Well, maybe one more thing. Well, maybe a couple things to get strong. I don't know. If these don't do it, I'm going to be on the lookout for the next thing. That's, yeah.

I mean, you got to keep swinging. Yeah. So that finally is the 2026 new equipment from Asonomics Gym. Oh, yeah, that's a good list. Those are some unique things in there. I'm excited to give all those a try, actually. It's a big variety pack in there, a variety of stuff. I'm going to get that camber bar.

I'm going to load it up in the bridge-built thing, push it around the gym full speed, running into some things, see if it tips over. I'm going to push it into the legacy. extension leg curl machine full speed. Smash the stacks. Like,

just let the stacks drop. I'm going to put a bunch of deadlift bars into it so it's really tall and I'm going to run it through the doorway to take it to the other side of the gym. Yes. Someone will figure out a way to do it. Where there's a will,

there's a way. Yes. I had another thing here to bring up. I put this in a couple weeks ago. How much? What time are we at? Oh, we got time.

Oh, we got time, don't we? We got time. I just wanted to talk about cursive handwriting. Have we ever talked about cursive? I mean, we probably have at some point, but I don't remember talking about it. My second grade daughter, they're learning cursive right now. So that was going to be my first question. I didn't even know for sure if they still taught that or not.

I didn't know. I think it's hot and it's cold. It's off and it's on. I just don't feel like it's when we were a proper country. when I was in school, they very specifically talked. Like, cursive was a big deal. Like, everyone had to learn how to do cursive. And it was a large part of the curriculum.

And although we may have used to have been a proper country, I feel like that is kind of a waste of time. Why do we need to learn a second system to write the language we already know how to write? Yeah, I mean, I kind of get it. I do. who invent who was like yep these are letters but then someone was like no let's connect them all and then switch some of them a little bit but isn't it more like once you get good like because

what i think about my writing you know when you're in the stages of like doing perfect straight lines and you're thinking about each one so much you write so freaking slow and then once you learn it is a speed thing like oh yeah you can kind of like sort of just start scribbling and well it just makes it not legible because you're like every letter kind of looks the same as like very easy to just freaking yeah it's kind of roll them all together and it's just yeah I what do you write in which of those I do like a hybrid garbage version

I think everyone eventually unless you actually take pride in your in your penmanship I think eventually everyone goes into this weird hybrid disaster thing don't they either do nice like curse of handwriting you do this weird disaster thing or you do kind of like this draftsman style of writing where you sort of write in all caps and it's actually kind of nice, but also not how you should write either because it's all capital letters.

Right. I never write like that. Mine's always just pretty much garbage. I can write in good cursive, I think, but I never do that. It's, I just use, like, garbage. I would struggle to, uh, can you, could you, if I made you write an uppercase Q in cursive right now, if you do it? I have to think, I'd have to think about it.

for a minute. Like when you said that, it wasn't immediately obvious what I'm supposed to be doing. What about a capital G? I think I could get that. I think I could. Just let do a little muscle memory.

Yeah. But I think I'd write it and I would question whether I'm actually doing that correctly or not. Right. The capitals are really the only tricky ones. The capitals are weird. They're weird.

A few of them are odd. Like an S? Who the hell decided that's what a capital S is? That one is pretty strange too. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man, curse, it's been so long since I've written like any of the, I actually just, it's so rare that I actually even write words with my hand, like with pen and paper. Unless I'm doing it for myself.

I don't write, you know, I just, I'm just so used to if I have thoughts, I type them on my phone or my computer because I just feel like, oh, then I can copy and paste and move things. And it just feels faster for me a lot of times. So it is very, very rare for me to even use a pen and paper anymore. Right. Yeah, just cursive. I just don't know. When my daughter said they were working on cursive, I'm like, it just feels not necessary,

but I suppose it is somewhat necessary. I don't know. They've got to learn something, right? Yeah, I guess. They've got to kill some time. I don't know. Curseve is just interesting. The whole philosophy of the second way to write the same language is interesting to me,

where some of the letters just look completely different. Mm-hmm. Where it's like, no, this is an answer. And I'm like, that's an S? That's not what an S looks like. Yeah. Who made that up? Yeah.

Some of them are really weird. Actually, the key to my cursive is my sloppy handwriting. I'd be like, when I have to capital a letter, I'm not doing the cursive version of it. Yeah. And then I'll do the lower, you know, if I start to fill it in the rest. Yeah. And fill in the resting cursive. You're like Billy Madison with the Rizugo or he's trying to do the Zs and he just does the weird squiggle thing.

Yes. What is a capital cursive Z? Is it just a Z? Ah, I can't. The lowercase Z I know. It's kind of odd. It's like a backwards thing. It's got like a G element going on to it.

It's kind of like a G actually is more what it is. Why does the Z go below the line in cursive? That actually is one of the stranger ones. Like they're like, nope, Z. No, the uppercase Z. is just the big version of that. It's just, yeah, it looks like a three actually is what the uppercase one does look like.

Okay. It's just that, but you go to the top instead of starting it halfway down. Right. That's probably the weirdest letter in the whole thing. What's the Q look like? Isn't a... G is weird also, actually.

Like, G is a weird... That makes no sense. See, okay, didn't know that. I would have got that one 100% wrong. That's... It's the capital cursive letters are where... it gets really wacky. M's and ends I'm all on board with.

Let's just squiggle out some M's and ends. You know, I'm 100% on board. I can get on board with most of the vowels. Like the E, I'm good with the just, that ease, curse of E is just a shortcut of the E. Where you're like, yeah, I can kind of loosely connect all the,

the prior and the subsequent letters with this cursive E version. Wow, I'm just looking at a whole alphabet. This is, I would 100% actually get a lot of these wrong. If I hadn't looked at this first, this is kind of crazy. It's been so long since I've seen any of these. Yeah, like you're saying the capital letters.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That cue, I actually forgot what that's not even what I was picture. I feel like there's some variations of this that were taught differently at times. Yeah. G is super odd. I do remember what a G is,

but that is an odd what G is is weird. Kind of. I mean, kind of. For some reason, that one sticks out to me. I just remember that one.

I do too, but it's weird. Like, look at it. That's not at all the way you make it. Yeah. First of all, it is backwards.

So yeah, it's got that going for it. Q is insane. An S is just very weird to me, but that's what an S is. Yeah, you can almost see, well, if you took out that line, it sort of is an S with just an extra embellishment on the end, you know?

Yeah, yeah. That vertical line is what screws it up. Right. All right. So that's cursive. I don't know. Let us know in the comments. Are you pro or can't type?

Cursive. Are you for it or not? Yeah. All right. I got one more question for you. I think, you know, I have no idea. I think you can relate to this. I'm very curious, though.

Is it related to cursive? If so, I'm on board. But it's related to back in the day, you could say. So the other day, the TV was on, and I see something on the channel. I'm trying to find something for the kids quick while I'm making dinner, keep them entertained for just a little bit. And I see something on the channel guide. And it's always on the channel guy.

But for whatever reason this time, I'm like, I need to click that and just see. And the show I'm talking about is the Andy Griffith show, Tanner. Do you, are you aware of the show? Exactly. Very familiar with Andy Griffith. Was that show on in your household at all growing up? Oh, yes. Okay.

My dad was a big Andy Griffith show fan. I've honestly probably seen every single episode. I think my dad claims he's seen every episode like 20 times. You know, like it was just, that was like, I think that was the office for, for guys. Yeah. Like that was what you had to pick from back then. And it was always on TV. It was also what it had going for it.

And I always remember. So the Andy Griffith show in itself, yeah, I've seen a, I've seen a fair number of episodes back of the day, you know. It's been years and years. But what stuck out to me is it had been long enough since I'd seen it on TV that I had this realization that growing up, I always thought, God, that guy is so old. Like, that guy is old. Andy Griffith. Yeah, Andy Griffith. And a part of it goes in black and white.

You know, like, that's part of what's letting you do it. And you're a little kid. And I'm a little kid. And I'm like, how old was he when that show was being made? Because he's the dad of the boy. That's like, that's what's immediately like setting off these alarms in my head. I'm like, he can't be that old. He's the dad.

and I had to look it up and while it was filming, he was approximately 34 to 42 years old. And I'm like, that's, that's me. Like that's the age group. I'm right there, man. I'm at the upper limit of it when, uh, is that, uh, is that, is his, his name is Andy Griffith. Yeah, that's Andy.

Yeah. Yeah. So, notts is, uh, Barney Fife. Yep, Barney five. Yeah. And Don Knott says Barney Fife.

And Don Knott says Barney Fife. And, And Opie is Howard, Ron Howard. Yeah, yep, yep, yep. Opie is Ron Howard. Yes. But it was just like this weird thing of, this whole thing of when I thought someone was really old.

And then all of a sudden now I've had enough years between it. And I'm watching them like, nope, nope, you're just me. And then I'm watching like, you know what? Outside of the black and white and kind of the old fashion clothes, you don't look that old. Right. Right. I'm thinking that, you know?

Right. Right, right. Who's your favorite character from Andy Griffith show? I just have a hard time even saying. It's been so long. I mean, when I was a kid, Barney Fife, because he was goofy, you know. Yeah. I probably haven't actually watched an episode since I was in a third or fourth grade.

I like Otis, the town drunk. The drunk, yeah. Otis would walk into the jail and lock himself in when he's drunk. Oh, yeah, all the time, yeah. Just let himself. Come and go. I should make a meme out of that. Like just do a video of him walking into the jail and locking himself in.

I don't know what the top of it is, but it's just a funny premise. I feel like when you just like lock yourself up. What it's like when I do a squat and I watch the video and immediately know it wasn't to depth, something like that. Yes. I was like I just lock myself. You mean a Jim Neighbors was. Gomer Pyle. I was going to say that's the other kind of.

Surprise, surprise, surprise. surprise. That's a spinoff is the Gomer Pyle show. He has own show. He was also kind of the other goofy guy. Private Pyle. Yeah, he joined the Army. It's Jim Neighbors, I think, right? Yes. I would have never in a million years. Even when you're looking at it, I was going to say Gomer Pile and you say Jim neighbors. I'm like, who's Tanner talking about? And then you have the name's right there because that name means nothing to me. But yeah, like I just couldn't remember growing up my dad quoting Gomer Pile lines, you know, like that's. well we i mean did you ever

like that was a term people would call people even when i was a kid people would say like you're being a gomer pile yeah like does that something that you had heard oh yeah okay like you're being a dumb ass like you're gomer pile you know like you're an idiot you're a buffoon you're a gomer pile yeah

andy griffithes show and that was my conclusion in the office for people that were born before us. Well, then that was actually, then what I realized, I was thinking about it some more. I'm like, you know what?

Growing up, you know, you have your perception of what you think old people are or not. And even as you age, you have your perception of what old people are or not. You know, I think you're just actually the anchor is old. It's relative and it's always moving,

but the thing, the constant is old is older than your parents. Like, that's kind of like your parents age or older. That's your definition for old. Yeah. Yeah. They're older than that, whatever that is at that point in time, then they're old.

Because when I was a kid, no doubt I would have thought someone in like 40 is old. And now I'm like, no, 40's not old. I've literally actual teachers of mine that were teachers, even when I was in high school, you know, and then I'm friends with that I like and are cool. And I've told them recently, like, talking to it that I'm like, man, I thought you were old then. And I am actually older than you are. I am older now than you were then. And I thought you were kind of like old.

And I was 15, like I was old enough to know better of what I feel like. And you're like, some 30, some year old teacher. Yeah, you're like 34. These old people teaching me. It's like you were barely yourself figuring out what it means to be an adult more than likely. I saw a disturbing meme today, only humorously disturbing where it's Leonardo DiCaprio from, what's the movie where he has the totem and it's the dream within a dream

inception and you know when he's waking up I think it's the scene when he's like on a plane at the very end and it's like that close up of his face when he's waking up and it's like you waking up at 5 a.m. realizing that you're suddenly your dad

you know almost like that you're you waking up at 5 a.m. Like all of a sudden you're the guy waking up at 5 a.m. Like you don't even know how you. And it's just it's just like inception. You don't even know. how you got here, but all of the sudden you are the guy that's getting up at 5 a.m.

And it's like, yeah, what, how did that happen? Why am I the, yeah, what happened? I just thought that that was funny and also disturbingly accurate. Luckily, I haven't had too much of that waking up early. Well, waking up at 5 a.m. is more to me just a metaphor for all of it. I think, you know, because I usually don't get up at 5 a.m. but I get up at 6 a.m. But it's more just thought, like, wait, I'm stressed about doing our taxes.

You know, like whatever, insert, whatever the thing is. Man-made construct that's ruining my life. Boy, that, who's the, who's the, that Ted Kaczynski was on to something? Yeah. That's what they're saying. Wasn't he the one that was all about like, you know, society? I don't know. Like he's like the traffic lights.

The traffic light example. Yeah, I think that was his theory. Is that him? Is that Ted Kaczynski or am I thinking of a different? Yeah, the Unabomber. That was his thing, I believe. Yeah. Okay.

All right. Well, I feel like that's a high note to end this on. Unabomber. I don't think so. actually this is very important. This is brand new. Our newest sponsor of the Massonomics podcast is Elite FTS. You can check them out at EliteFTS.com.

You know, they actually have a four-inch camber bar. They just came out with one. Was that new? Yeah, I just got the email for it like three days ago. Okay. Yeah, that was brand new. Got that on my radar all of a sudden. And I literally saw that and I'm like,

why have I never known that they have a version of this? Yeah, I got the email for it saying brand new, just released and I thought oh have you seen this have you heard about this I'm very interested in lead FTS one honestly like it's probably a sweet bar it probably like some of the things that I didn't like as well about the one I'm talking about which aren't necessarily the deficiencies it's just what you want a different style of yeah yeah you know like I don't think one's right and wrong it's just depends on what you want it for and what I'm talking about I wonder if the lead FTS one fits more in line with that um yeah lead FTSS whether you want to check out their four inch

camer bar, their SS Yoke Bar, which is one of the most popular specialty barbells of all time. If you got a home gym and don't have an SS Yoke bar, correct yourself. How are you doing? Get one.

It's just what works. they have been our go-to supplements for God, Tanner, a long time now, haven't they? Hey, Teev and guests, I think since back when Andy Griffith was still airing. Are you familiar with Matlock? I've heard the word, I don't even know what that. Is it a TV show? What is that? Yeah, look up Matlock, quick.

Yeah, look up Matlock and see what you know about that. Have you heard about this? Have you seen this? Matlock. Yeah, with this guy in the white suit. Yeah, you know who that is? No. Oh, is that Andy Griffith?

That is Andy Griffith. Oh, my gosh. Okay, he actually is old there. What if I told, okay, this is an interesting fact. In Matlock, Andy Griffith was 43. That's what cigarettes did to people then. Cigarettes and drinking out of the hose did you? I didn't see how old was any.

Asbestos. It's what did you back then. He was 15. 59 on Matlock? Um, I mean, let's say he looks a little. But have you, so were you like, does this feel aware to you at all? Like when you see this, does this look familiar to you? I mean, I know I've heard the words Matt.

I know I've heard someone say Matlock before. Like I'm like when you said it, my guess was, yeah, I feel like that's a TV show, but I doesn't mean, it doesn't mean anything to me. I think a funny Matlock meme could really hit too. God, I gotta say he, what did you say 59 when they started? filming that? That's what it looks older than 50. I mean, he doesn't look like, he looks like he's 70.

Yeah, I'm like, I'm not saying he doesn't look like he's like not aware of what's going on, but he just looks older than 59. We have like people at Massanomics gym that I consider to still be my contemporaries that are 50 and look like young men that are in the same decade of age. There's been some amazing advances. in understanding what you can do to not destroy your body, you know. Like Larry's like 49. Yeah.

He's approaching his matlock years here. I'm in my matlock era. Like he just tells him his hair as white and he wears a white suit all the time. Why do you, how do you, why do you look like a grandpa all of a sudden? Because he said his matlock. You look like a grandpa from my childhood now. This made me think of it too. Along these same lines,

here's another one that's just crazy to me. The actual ages of the golden girls when they were filming that damn show. Have you ever looked at that? Because to me, they have all, did you ever watch a show? I didn't. Oh yeah.

But probably the only one that was, like you're gonna, the only one that had to have had to have actually been old was the one's mom that was like seriously old lady. Like my wife has watched a thousand of those shows. But here's the thing. I look at the picture and even now I'm like, no, they're all grandmas. They're all old.

Here's the ages. 53, 53, 55 and 79. Like, that doesn't add up, does it? There were just like middle age. I mean, why did they seem so old? In this day and age, those people could go to Massanomics gym and it wouldn't be old, but if you showed up looking like that, people would be like, who is Tanner bringing into this gym?

Like there's 53, like I see 53 year old people walking around all the time that, like these looked like old grandmas. There is no doubt your son has at least some parent, some friend that has a parent that's 53 years old. And if they showed up to pick. That's my reference, actually. If they showed up to pick up Jack and they looked like that, you'd be like, oh, I'd be like, like, watch your grandma here.

And not even has a way of disrespect. it would just be in pure honesty. And I would think the exact same thing. I can't believe that. Is that right? Like I'm looking at images of it and I feel like some of these are just like like like they're showing word like two of them are 53. I'm like there's no way that those ladies were 50. Like I feel like this is just embellished for the internet.

I don't know. Okay. Yeah. I mean, you know, you know, where they, like, I want to make one and be like,

actually they were like 37, you know, or it's like, yeah, that is, that one's weird though, isn't it? Yeah.

Is that just a difference in style? Like, wait, oh, whoa, this is what's the, okay, this is the confusing part.

This is where, okay. It's, it's the character age versus the actress age. That's what the problem is here. Because this is saying, yeah, the characters were in their early 50s. The actresses were between the ages of 51 and 6th.

So like Betty White was 63, but she was playing a character that was like 55. Again, I mean, that's only a difference of like seven years. Yeah, but 63 seems way more in line with what. Yeah, that's why, okay, that's why they have the double numbers on them. Yeah, Betty White, she's 63 playing a 55 year old. I would say they did not quite cast that right when they look like that. Dorothy B. one, because that's the one that's really throwing me off. So how old was that lady?

It says she's 63, but she was playing a 54-year-old. Okay, she looks more like a 63-year-old then. Yeah. That makes it. Why were they playing, why were they acting like they were in their early 50s? I don't know. Because there was no 50-year-old actors. I don't know.

It's the same thing of all those movies in the early 2000s when they're all, you know, American Pie and all this stuff. It's all teenagers, but they're all played by people in their late. 20s, you know. Right. Well, like, American Pie actors and actresses now are like when you see it, oh my God. Well, when we were watching the last season of the righteous gemstones and Sean William Scott's in it, I'm like, whoa, I haven't seen you in decades. Last time I saw you, you were shooting a dart in Will Ferrell's neck, right? It's been that long. You know, you're crazy. I like you, man, but you're crazy. You're crazy.

I was trying to think of the line there. You're crazy. Oh, now that's a movie. All right, that's great. A great television. What did you never talk about, though? So what I was trying to get to. I guess what I'm trying to say, though,

is that Bill's Formula is our preferred supplements. What I'm trying to say What I've been trying to say this whole time Before I start talking about the golden girls Which Tanner knows their names I don't But anyways Bill Best Formula

Or go-to supplements 80 20 protein 80% casein 20% way It's nature's protein blend. It's been my my preferred protein lately. All the flavors are great. Vanilla, chocolate lava cake, sin-a-doodle crunch, all that. They're good. Pick one of those. And then if you need pre-workout, they got their full blitz, their vaso blitz, their blitz three. They got all the blitzin and all the vasos you could ever want for pre-workout. Pick one. They're good. They'll get you hyped. Thank you, Bill's Feltzormul. Oh, and use code Massenobics.

Thank you, Bill, Bill. That's formula. what I'm trying to say. Oh, that crack me up. That's insane. Ah, good stuff. YouTube, the new video at the time that this comes out, the newest latest YouTube video should be the 10 things in Tommy's home gym that he loves to use that aren't actually gym equipment.

It's like the 10, the 10 best things you can buy for your home gym that aren't gym equipment. is that that's not a bad title it's hard to get that title down we're still we're still working on that we got but that's generally what we've already filmed it and it we had some fun doing that one in as of right now we have 11 hours to get this thing wrapped up and titled i don't have the edit done yet we don't have the title or the thumbnail but we won't get that done tomorrow we got plenty of time it's only midnight so we'll get that right yeah hey can i can i throw one more age at you since we're on the topic yeah um al bundy You know how old he was during that show?

I mean, he seems to me like he was 50, but I suppose he was like, so he was like 34 or something like that. At the start of the show, he was 39. And it was the same thing. He seemed like he was 50 growing up. I'm like, yeah, it's an old guy. And now I'm like, no, no, when I actually look at the picture, I go, yeah, no, you were just a guy.

We did, uh, it was some modern game, not charades, but it was like some popular game people play that. It had a charade. element to it. And you know Al Bundy always put his hands in his pants. Yeah. And I did that like the thing was Al Bundy and I slouched back on my chair like this and went like this with my hands like just because he didn't put his hand in his pants. No, he just like rested it in his belt line. Yeah. And I did that thing. And I like, I like, I nailed it and nobody knew who Al Bundy was. And I was like, you don't recognize the doing this thing as Al Bundy like. Yeah, that's that thing.

because I was like, like when I got the card and I was like, yep, I nail. They're going to get this so fast and nobody got it. I'm like, I quit and I hate all of you for not knowing. Would you have known that? Oh, God, yes. Yes. Yeah. And I feel like I didn't even watch that show that much.

Right. You didn't have to watch that show. That was just the, that was the one takeaway from the show was that. That's the epitome of like that show is the night, well, almost. 80s comedy of like, I can't stand my wife. That was the pinnacle. The old hashtag boomer humor.

Yeah, the old ball and chain just ruined in my day. I feel like you guys should have just got divorced, but that wouldn't have made for as funny of a sitcom, I suppose. Went to work quite as well. We'll end your precious show. So the YouTube video,

leave us comments, subscribe on the YouTube. I mean, I probably already subscribed. Leave us some comments, like, do the hype thing. I don't know. Is the hype thing dead?

Is that still a thing? I mean, if it's dead, it assumed it was ever really a thing. But they can still hide it. Yeah, yeah. Like it. Leave a comment,

honestly, on the YouTube videos and maybe share something. Everyone's always still actively working to do our best to grow the YouTube channel. And we didn't even talk about this. We also did a gym tour tour,

a very short and brief one. Yeah. So maybe next week we'll fill in, fill you inside. Let's talk about that experience next week. Okay. Because usually we like to recap our gym tours a little bit on the podcast. Yeah, actually, yeah, next week.
