All right. All right, so we're officially here in the backyard. Today we're going to talk about something near and dear to my heart this week. Seriousness. By the the way let's recap that did we get a total did you did you did you check i didn't add it up anybody who's listened back that's going to be two weeks ago yes all right if anybody wants to get us the total of how many times the word seriousness was used in the seriousness episode uh i saw some good feedback on that episode people like the serious i haven't gotten deep into the i haven't

done a bunch of follow-up on that um that was really good though i was a big fan of that and by the way the the cover image of big shane on that one was hands down the best cover image we've had to date it was a serious expression that was from the arnold yeah that was when we're out eating at the arnold that's right and uh big shane takes eating very seriously apparently um so anyway so one other thing about big shane do you know that big shane once starred in a commercial no but why is this why is this just coming out now uh it was it's for like um i think it's a local lender there's someone not around here so you wouldn't have seen the commercial okay but uh he plays sally ray which is like a take

on like uh freddie may sally mac like the big lending things he plays sally ray is the name of the character in the commercial and he's wearing like a singlet and like high leather rest white wrestling boots and he's like oiled up a big jack guy so he's the big evil bank okay and then there's like uh a little girl over here who's the nice local yeah friendly lender and big shane busts through a uh sheetrock wall and like does a big no shit flex and then he uh there's actually like a couple different commercials you know how they'll do that like they'll make like a one minute long yep and a shorter one and there's a shorter one where the customers across the table it's like its own mini series yeah i

think there's three and like big shane reaches across the table and grabs the the scrawny little student it's about student loans okay that's what it was about like so uh the potential student he grabs him by the shirt collar and like drags him across the table and puts them in a headlock yeah shane who is actually the sweetest person on the planet so what time frame are we talking about here how many this is about five years ago i think so it's not like 15 years ago no no it's not that long ago but i'm gonna find uh all of the video i know where they're at on youtube so i'll at least link them to... Oh, that's great. ...the show, the YouTube clips of it.

How... Have you heard about that ever at all before? Not at all. I didn't even know that was a thing at all. That would have been the first thing that I did after I heard that was find that, though. Yeah. I don't even know where to go after this one.

That's not at all related to anything we're doing but i i just uh i was talking about it with big shane yesterday in the gym and i hadn't watched him for like a couple years so i had to pull him up today just to watch him again and gets it i get it and he's like got a big angry growly voice and stuff you know he's fuck but he said when he busted through that wall they had set up like three walls in case they didn't get the right uh take but he said he cut his arm up pretty good like really smashing because it was a sheet piece of sheet rock that he busted through but they got a good good take on that first one so he didn't have to do it again. Did he ever say, what does something like that pay?

I don't know if it paid anything or not in this particular situation. You mean I get to look huge and you guys are going to videotape it? Well, count me in. I don't think he knew exactly what it was for, and they were trying to get him to do this for a while. And he didn't really know that it was because he was big and muscular and like what they're going to use him as and once he find out for real he quit dodging him and was like oh okay yeah i'll do that i'll do some huge stuff

well that's our recap of the seriousness episode oh by the way it was last week when we had megan on yep so since then i know we had talked about it on the podcast but anyone looking to follow megan on social media she just bit bit down right after we left the podcast and said bucket she changed her instagram handle to quads like megan which i think is absolutely fantastic. It's a total knockoff, but it has a good ring to it, and it's way better than Mo12 underscore 86. It might be a knockoff, but Rob's a friend of the podcast. Rob's a big friend of the podcast.

I don't know. It's not really a... When we do have Rob on now, we kind of almost have to bring Megan for some sort of quad off. Because I think Megan actually has bigger quads than me, you, and Tommy for sure. Probably. What about Rob? That's what we're going to find out. But yeah, so that's the recap of the Megan episode as well.

Is she going to be doing is there any particular competitions that she's got in her sights now i don't want to let any uh proverbial caps out of the bag yes yeah she's gonna go and do nationals in vegas in november that's what she said i just didn't know if that was public yeah i i'm pretty sure it's public because i now have to figure out how we're going to pay for it. It's as public as anything. So if you guys want to send quads like Megan to fucking Vegas, email us at getbigatmastanomics.com.

But yeah, that'll be... So we're going to try and get it so where I can go also. We'll see if we can string some sort of massonomics things into that trip. I'm sure massonomics can pay for it. Obviously. I think we're swimming in it. November, that's another. By that time, we'll be rich. I assume.

It's kind of like when you have, like, anytime you do anything financially, you just assume that in a year you're going to be in a better financial situation. We'll all have the money then. Like, if you had to pick, like, okay, your car payment is going to be $300 a month now, but in a year, it's going to go up to $700 a month. You're like, oh, yeah, well, I'm sure I'll get on my feet

between now and then. Yeah. Yeah, that won't be an issue. Things don't change like that, though. In a year, success will find me. So that's in November? That's in November. In Las Vegas? In that, though. In a year, success will find me. So that's in November? That's in November. In Las Vegas?

In Vegas, yeah. Okay. And I'm sure that's a huge, I mean, there's probably several hundred people that are competing there at Nationals. I assume. I haven't even looked into what the scope of that is or who else competes in that, but it's, yeah, that's a pretty big. It's the best of the not quite best basically i mean you know it's the best of the non-pros yeah right you know right so it's a lot of people that people are aware of and how does that work get being a pro do you have to win that competition i don't know right like i don't even understand platinum plus competitions i don't know

what that even means like wait is that a that's a't even understand. There's a Platinum Plus competition. I don't know what that even means. Wait, is that a real thing? Oh, yeah. That's a thing. Strongman, like, Strongman Court Platinum, like, is it a Platinum Plus competition? And I think that has to do with, I don't even know. I don't know what I think it might have to do with is, like, the heaviness of the events. But I literally don't, I'm not basing that in anything other than a guess,

but yeah, that's a, that's a real term. No shit. Someone tell us what that means. I feel like, I feel like that's something that they say. Kale Beck.

I've, he uses that terminology. Really? He could answer it. I feel like that's something they say when they're announcing things right after the elderly board an airplane. Oh, platinum plus.

Platinum plus. Come up here. You can board on the right lane your platinum plus membership you you get to board 30 seconds before everyone else and actually so you're on the plane you're just hanging out more people get to walk by you especially since 80 of the planes you fly on with that stuff there's no difference whatsoever no you're like you're getting on in front of somebody you're not getting any better leg room or anything that's right um so this one is not a platinum plus competition do we not know i think nationals is nationals so i i don't i don't know i whatever nationals i suppose like i i would assume it's as legit as any competition so but i don't know if they maybe when it's nationals that's an inferred platinum plus i don't it's

beyond me yeah i don't even understand how sports with pro cards count like like how that body building is the same way it's like you got to earn your pro card by winning top three in a thing one of these things or twice in a thing and i don't know for strongman you'd have to be someone that's on the cusp of doing that in order to yeah understand it because otherwise nobody's going to take the time i feel like if you have to ask what a platinum plus is you're not on the cusp you're not you're not gonna make it any but those are the only the people that are have made it or close to making it to that are the people that would ever know the answer to that it's like scientology have you paid your seven hundred thousand dollars now it's time for us to blow your fucking mind does uh does she know what the events are for that yet at all?

Maybe that's not even known. She does, and she's told me. And I don't remember. But I bet I have a text message here. Hold on. Okay. Other bit of strongman news is in a couple weeks, I'm going to a guy that closed a strongman gym and i've got got a lead on a bunch

of equipment that i am going to be negotiating on so maybe by the time that this podcast comes out we might have a bunch more strongman stuff to play with maybe you should also negotiate on behalf of my crossfit gym if there's any other things there that we want to get duplicates of that we should talk about off the air that sounds pretty sweet he's he even has some crossfitty things too well we should definitely since basically i spent my life savings on this thing and i'm not making any money i should spend more well you got to spend it to make it though right i swear to god i fucking got this list from her. And then here's the problem nowadays, guys.

I want to complain. There's way too many forms of communication now. And even my wife will do this stuff where she'll communicate with me on three different platforms. And it drives me fucking nuts. So the other day I needed her to bring my wifi router from the house down to the gym. I had an old one and I said, honey, I need you to bring my wifi router. And obviously she says, what is that? And I said, it's this black thing that's in the cupboard with all the bundle of wires. And then I need you to bring me the cord that plugs that into the wall. And she's, and I said, obviously just take what you think that is,

take a picture of it, and send it to me. So she does that, but she sends it to me on Snapchat with a three-second fucking timer. So I get to look at the cord for three seconds and then never get to see it again. So I say, honey, I need you to send me that in a message. Then she sends it to me in a Facebook message instead of an actual message. And so now.

That's much less convenient. So I'm sorting through all this. Okay, yeah. So she actually messaged me this in Facebook instead of texting. So this is what the events are, I believe. There is a log clean and press each. So I'm assuming that is a clean and a press clean and a press. Then who's a fell stone for max distance,

a yoke and farmers medley, and then a frame deadlift and a stone over bar. And Tim was thinking that this was going to be stone of steel. I'm not sure why he would think that, but, Oh, I bet it will be. They they i was just listening to people talk how it that at stone of steel has been become so common at the big competitions that they don't even they used to refer to it at they used to say specifically it was stone of steel but now they'll just say stone over bar because they compared it to the

logs a log press used to be a wooden log yeah that's what it started out with and then they had to as the metal logs came around they had to specify the metal log steel log and press and now they just say log press because like everyone's log is is metal but but yeah I suppose for the sake of a competition having a plate loadable... Right, because at nationals there's going to be several hundred competitors so they have multiple stations set up at the same time.

And varying weight classes and genders. So varying weight class and genders if they bring stone, concrete stone, atlas stones, they might have to bring like 300 where if they have stone of steels they might have to bring 50 plus i always wonder in like a big competition like that if you do have concrete stones what is like the tacky situation on the stones like from one person to the next like how weird is that if you're grabbing a stone

that's been all tacked up or sweated on and on the stone of steel they don't use you can't use they use a tacky towel it's called you wipe your hands on a little towel and i don't know it must make your hands a little sticky but it doesn't transfer anything to the now is the stone of steel have some sort of is it is it smooth steel or is there some sort of gripping i've never even touched one i've never touched one in person either but I think it's fairly smooth. I feel like if I were to design that, I would make it out of like rhino lining. Yeah. So there's something to it.

Some grab to it. Just a little bit. Yeah. But so that's what the events are at Nationals, we think. And Fletch, how's it going? So we have our mascot here protecting the backyard for us. It's only fitting that the Massonomics mascot would be the biggest dog in town. Um, so we want to get into the meat of the subject matter for today, Tanner.

I did have one other strongman news. Jesus Christ, we are never going to get to the news. One more strongman newsy thing is me and my family, my wife and son, we're going on a little, not a vacation because we're not going that far away, but we're going to the Black Hills of South Dakota in a few weekends. And I got, we already had this planned. And then I saw on Facebook that there was a strongman competition. And I double checked with my wife what weekend that was we're going, and it's that weekend. So I'm going to be there anyways, so I'm considering doing it just because we're going to be there.

And it's in, like, two weekends. Are you going to spend many days out in the hills? Are you just going to burn 17 hours at a strongman competition? No, no. See, we're gonna be there for like we're i'm taking a cup you know a little couple days off of work and stuff so we're gonna be there it'll be an extended weekend right right like a four-day thing you know because if i was gonna go spend two days somewhere the last thing i would want to do is be at a strong

conventional strongman competition that just takes forever right no i think we're gonna be there for four days or something gotcha well that's pretty sweet yeah and there's a and the reason i kind of want to do it is there's a truck pull and i just think that would i just want to how are we going to try that how are we going to train that i'm just not going to i mean it's two weeks away anyway so like i would just go into it not Don't you think, though, if you could get three or four reps under your belt, that you'd be better off? Oh, I'm sure it would definitely help. Yeah, but I would pretty much convince them.

We've all got trucks in South Dakota. We usually have robes. Well, that's pretty sweet. And I think they've got a pretty good group out there on the west side of the state. Yeah, but the weights of the competition are uh aggressive i would be doing the heavyweight like i did in the last one we did except it that's 264 because it's strongman court versus united states strongman is 275 so it's a little lighter but the the weights are pretty heavy the viking press i think is 300 pounds that all depends on the that's all weird yeah so i don't yeah i've also heard with that you're not supposed to count the

implement either it's just the weight just the weight yeah i don't know but they're all different you know i think they make it all up yeah yeah and then um but the one there's the truck pull, there's a stone series where the heaviest stones, they said to be announced. They're not releasing it yet. Because they're scrounging for stones right now. I don't think I got a 320. I did ask someone, and they thought the heaviest might go up to like 330 or 350, which would be pretty heavy.

But the one event that seemed really heavy to me is the Housafil Stone. It's a loaded metal one, and for our weight class, it was 375 pounds, which that's pretty heavy. Jesus Christ. Because the actual Housafil Stone. Is like 420? Yes. Yeah, 421 or something like that.

And that's the one that they've used at World's Strongest Man like 20 times. So these strongest men in the world do 420 and don't like it no you know they're not like yeah it was a breeze right and this is 375 so i i i asked one of the guys putting it on i was asking a couple questions about the events and i said i have one last question why the hell is the husufal stone so heavy and they laughed at that and and their comment was that it's not a weak competition they said if it was much lighter we'd be there all day but i don't i don't know a hussifil stone so maybe that's is doable but that just seems hard 375 our biggest bag is a 100 pounds less than, and that's not fun to carry around. It's not super awesome.

No. I mean, it's different how you'd handle it, how it hangs on you. But I can't imagine that you'll have an awesome time. You're not going to be carrying that and be like, oh, this is pretty cool. Yeah, right. Cool with this. But then also, I'm always like, well, I don't know. It sucks about the same for everyone.

Yeah, yeah. And that's about all on the strongman everyone so yeah yeah and that's it that's about all on the strongman news i think that i had this motherfucker gonna mow his yard right now i'm actually doubt that you guys are going to be able to hear this anyways but if you do we don't think you're going to be able to hear any of this yeah we're just it's just i actually set this up to uh because the the studio downstairs is in sort of disarray, and I figured it was easier to set up outside than to actually tidy up everything downstairs. So we're thinking about moving the studio from the extra room space in the basement

to now that I got everything moved over to the new gym one of the things that happened when i set up the new gym was i took all of the furniture out of my basement that i don't use and put it in the new gym therefore there's literally nothing in my entire basement so where the studio normally looks like we're podcasting in a closet or something i think we might be able to move it out there we'll have to get a better lighting setup but we'll be able to move it out there and actually have it look like there's a little bit of room because it does look when i look back on the videos i'm like geez that looks pretty fucking claustrophobic um so but on the i guess on the on

that subject, uh, my time management has been absolutely fucking terrible, which is why I rushed back home to get this stuff drug outside until Tanner. Sorry, I'm late. I'm late. I'm late. I'm late. And I have had not shit for time to train.

I've been squeezing it in when I can. I am losing track of every single thing that I'm supposed to keep track of. And it's absolutely awful and tanner on the other hand is meticulously organized and good at things like super good at adulting that would depend on who you ask you know if you brought that up with my wife i feel like she would argue that pretty well and my wife wife listens to these. And oftentimes I'm around her while she's listening to this. So right now, future me. Your wife, who is beautiful and caring and loves you so much. So future me, like at my house right now in two weeks while my wife is listening to this.

Like I'm going to have to deal with it. With the repercussions of what's going on. Yeah, but no, she would probably say that's not always the case. But yeah, I try to be, but it's all relative, I think, to what people have going on, too. Like, if you don't have a lot going on, like, it's pretty easy to maintain a routine and your schedule. I got in this really comfortable routine for the most part, where I was able knock off from the day job at 4, 30, or 5 o'clock. And then I could make my way to the gym and have a couple hours, take my time.

However much time you wanted. Yeah, whatever amount of time I wanted. And then when I was done, it was just get home and do a couple things around the house or none, and then get cleaned up and go to bed but now and then we'd you know plug in whatever massonomics things would have to be done I might be a couple nights a week there'd be some sort of massonomics task you know and now it's totally fucking crazy all the time so what do you have a typical day schedule now or not so this is like my first

week on my like foreseeable future schedule and it consists of mondays i wake up at four o'clock in the morning i go to the gym about 4 30 and get things set up and running for that monday i take off from my day job completely so monday i'm at the gym from about 4.30 in the morning. I have a little bit of a break. Mid-morning. What time is the first class? Five. Okay.

Yeah. So five, six, 8.30. A little break. People really want to work out that early. You'd be surprised. Yeah. And then like there is a couple little lulls during the day so monday i can kind of get it in because i don't have anything else going on i pick one of those two lulls to take care of like

some gym tasks and then the other one i'll plug in a workout and then i'm just the stinky coach at class or i run home and try to get a shower in you know at some point but that goes until then there's still on-ramp classes so i I'm there until 8 o'clock at night. And then I have to rush home and get clean and fucking go to bed. How do you eat lunch? That's a really good question. And I'm in too big of a hurry for breakfast,

so it's like protein shake out the door. Mid-morning, I'll try to eat something. Lunch maybe doesn't happen. And then dinner before I go to bed is late, and it's huge. To catch up. Kind of, but it's not even close. Right.

How much can you catch up? You can only make up so much ground after a certain point of the day. And that's been the case since we started renovating the building, to be honest with you. I haven't been able to eat at all. I'm down to 310 pounds now, which fucking... I got to 325 with a lot of fucking suffering trying to eat that much food and now it's just all gone so then tuesdays starts my tuesday through friday schedule which is work at eight in the morning until about 2 p.m come home change then go to the gym do business stuff there other things now there's still equipment coming in to put in and set up four o'clock or 4 30 class 5 30 class um try to

work out after that it's 5 30 the last class of the day um on tuesdays and thursdays yes monday wednesday friday we have new new people classes that go from like 6.30 to 7.30. It's really 8 or 8.30 by the time I'm done. So that's Tuesday. Then, like I said, Wednesday happens and then you're off. It's 8.30 before you leave the gym. That's not counting working out. And then Thursday is about 7, 8, 7.30 or 8. And then Friday is going to be about the same then saturday you have morning class and then open gym time so i think i'll be able to work out saturdays and sundays for sure and plug in a few but it's tough to get on sunday no i'm gonna have just an open chunk of time okay

what about saturday is their class saturday there is one okay yeah in the morning yeah and then an open block of time so but i'm like i've had like follow-up emails and shit from people coming in new members and i'm like trying to handle it all and i have no fucking idea what i'm doing so i like get a message and it's the worst way to do business i got a message somebody like hey so you told me to send you this stuff to get my account set up and i haven't got the email and i'm like oh jesus like this person's just trying to pay me money and i fucking totally blew it off and um yeah it's like not my wheelhouse and never has been so i am like underwater completely all the time so is it is it getting

do you think week two will be better than week one yeah i think i think the the routine of actually like where i am and when i am and how i get there the thing is if i can make it work now once i'm able to remove the day job from the equation i don't think i think then i'll have this little breath of fresh air but right now it's it's yeah there's just too many job yeah and then there's like i'm not getting podcast audio fucking edited until the end of the weeks now or whenever tanner's like hey i got three hours of video editing to do if you could get me this audio it'd be great um so training wise, what, what do you fly is just fucking your whole world up. Just let it be on the microphone.

But when a fly lands on me, I think about like, but they were just sitting on dog poop or something right before that, you know? Um, but training wise, what do you do? What are you doing for training? I'm now basically just totally off program completely until I find some sort of stability. So I'm just grabbing what I can. So what do you do? Like if you're like, oh, it's Tuesday.

I have an hour to work out right now. I feel like doing this. Yeah, basically. It's just trying to get moving. So like yesterday I did some deadlifts, just built up to five sets of heavy triples or heaviest triples, deadlifts just built up to five sets of heavy triples or heaviest triples and then um just did some conditioning workout that involved some benching and some rowing and i don't know just at some point because i'm now coaching crossfit i have to probably get my conditioning at some sort of respectable level so i couldn't be coaching it at where I was at when I was at 325 because I'd be like breathing hard trying to show people how to do things.

So I've been actually just trying to get a lot of that fucking just cardio done. You know, the heavy sprinting stuff and some of the longer steady state stuff. The stuff that's really uncomfortable. Yep. And so when I've been picking things for myself, that's what I've been plugging in. But yeah, I don't know. it's few and far between though today i was like knocked out some workout with a bunch of rowing and kettlebell swings and then i was like i'm gonna do some curls and then i went fuck we got a podcast right now so i packed everything up and ran out of there

what so so what i forget now you're of the week schedule. Tomorrow you do work your day job? Yeah. Okay. So you'll go back to the gym in the afternoon then? Yeah. But you don't have to go in the morning of the mornings that you work? Correct.

Not as of now. It could happen though. Yeah. There could be some times where I'm there from 4 in the morning until 7, 15, 7, 30, then go to my day job and then come back in the afternoon. There's two of you coaches, so basically you two could never leave town together. No, no. Not on some sort of weird gay vacation? Just hold hands and wear short shorts and exercise with our shirts off.

But really, one of you needs to be around. Yeah, yeah, for now. And I have a couple, like, part-time coaches that are getting their certification that we'll get plugged in. And frankly, I don't even know. I'm not even responsible. I don't know how to do payroll. I don't know how to do that. So fortunately, we're not planning on paying ourselves for a

couple of months so i've got a couple of months about that figure out how to like withhold the things and then like have to do taxes obviously i have like an account that i'm just gonna get in to do these things probably this week to explain these things or set them up but but yeah i was like well we're not making any money, so we don't got to figure that out right now. That's a later problem to solve. But we'll get to the point where we'll get these couple other coaches up and running and we can kind of have some help with that type of stuff. But I'm leaving in, Jesus, two weeks from tomorrow.

I leave, I'm doing Julian Pino's StrongFit seminar. Is that in Minneapolis? Yeah. And then it's full coaches week after that. So when does this come out? This isn't going to come out until I'm there, is it? No, because we're recording this late in the week right now. This would normally be what?

This will come out on the 17th. Okay, perfect. And so you're leaving the? 21st. Okay, that's the weekend. right now this would normally be what this this will come out on uh the 17th okay perfect and so you're leaving the 21st okay that's the weekend if anyone wants to put me up with somewhere to stay in minneapolis for the entire week from the 21st to the 28th that'd be super so you're there for a full week full week yeah that's the same weekend that i might be doing that competition so megan's gonna be out in the hills that weekend too she said that that. That's right. So we should have a lot of stuff to talk about. When we get back. I'm going to be gone that weekend though.

Neither of us are going to be able to podcast that week. Right. But I'm going to try and get Julian on. There we go. Talking about Minneapolis seminars, Chad Wesley Smith and Marissa Inda are putting one on in October.

It's a Saturday-Sunday. Saturday they just teach programming Chad Wesley Smith and Marissa Inda are putting one on in October oh really? and it's a Saturday Sunday Saturday they just teach programming Sunday they teach technique and everything and you can either sign up for both or either or and the Saturday session is only $50 but what I'm bummed is that

Sunday's full so you can't sign up for both you can only sign up for Saturday but like if I was driving all the way there I'd want to do both so I'm going to message him and ask him like what could I do to do both of these how about can I pay triple

because you're not charging enough that's why it's full so like can I pay triple if you open up one more spot because I'm coming six fucking hours for that. I mean, I'm sure I'll be the 40th person to say that same story. Yeah, that's true. But I'm at least going to try. Because if I was going, I would want to catch both days.

I agree. Yeah, you don't go that far just for one. Right. But I think that would be. That'd be cool. His programming stuff. Is pretty legit. Yeah.

Yeah. And the nice thing. The cool thing I see on his programming is he's not ever married to anything either right meaning there's like 30 different things that work and he's pretty cool with kind of finding a thing that works for you you know right and um he addressed my you know the reason the sunday one is full and the saturday one isn't as saturday as programming sunday is specifically working on technique and he said everyone wants to get their technique looked at and worked on but what he said is you can almost learn that anywhere from anyone all but at any time but he said the programming is really what people should be yeah

but you know i bet a lot of people are less a lot of people don't care about having control over their own programming either right they're just like that's probably i just want a thing that's a thing i don't want to be the guy and i probably would be that way yeah if i had to write my own programs for me there'd be way too much room for me to be a pussy. You know what I mean? I'd be like, well, get in the middle of it. I'd be like, what do I know? Right.

You know? Right. So I personally would definitely, I mean, I would like to do the programming part of the seminar just to know what it is. Right. But I could see that, too. If I just was going to do one, I'd be like, well, yeah, I definitely. That's what he said. Everyone be like, well, yeah. That's what he said.

Everyone's like, oh, yeah. And I do bet too, though, that people with more of a coach mindset are there for the programming thing. And there's way more athletes than there are coaches. So the athletes are probably there like, hell, yeah, I want some technique. I personally would be most interested in the programming. I think just because it's, you can read like everything that he writes on the internet, like all you want. But I feel like a in-person seminar would be,

and there's always room for feedback, right? Exactly. You can't read the article and go, what about this? Right. Why? Right.

Or why? And, uh, if we're, then I could proposition to like trade him to giving the seminar for free in order for allowing him to be on our podcast that'd be pretty sweet like allowing him the opportunity to be on our podcast boy do i got a bargain for you chad his podcast that started like nine months after ours that just crushes ours in ratings all the time in

the first month probably yeah i would say even when his sound quality was a goddamn iphone on a table he was shellacking us yeah his uh we have about 30 some reviews and he has about 80 some so he's out doubled us now in our views and i'm about to the point where Chad and I have matching hairlines so we're running out of things we could jab at him for. I think his is still

worse than yours, though. His is, it's so interesting. Yeah. His hairline's like a, it's like an adventure. It is.

Mine's just like a really sad story. Everything's just given up. this is an exciting this is unique you're not sure what you're gonna see around the next bump and turn but mine is just like boy there's a lot of quit yeah right there that's all given up um so what about uh you know where do you find a uh you know back to kind of the time yeah where do you find in your routine too with like,

you've got a kid at home too. That's what I was going to mention. We both have children. Yeah. I feel like if I, well, here's where I'm at. My children are old enough now to where they can kind of stay home on their own, which that has given me enough leeway to kind of phone in parenting for the last seven weeks for sure

like since we started working on the building and all this other stuff like as a husband and a father i am much less of those things at this moment there's just not like those things just had to kind of come back get pulled back a little bit while i just there's just only so many hours in a day right so i hardly have seen the kids there's been a you know i got the xbox and shit set up down at the gym so i'll like grab lincoln you know and be like hey let's just come down here and hang out for the day he's like and i'm like well you're just gonna do the same thing here as you did at home so just be in the same room with me so i can yell at you or whatever right and uh that's

kind of how i've made it work but yeah i've been not super available lately here uh that's how i would explain it with the use of uh an analogy a juggling analogy okay in life you have to juggle a lot of balls and these balls are all made out of different materials some balls are rubber they bounce some balls are wooden if you drop those balls they might dent up and scuff up a little bit some balls are made of glass if you drop those balls they're gonna shatter and be broken forever so our job as parents employees gym owners massonomics owners husbands and all that is as we're juggling we have to determine which balls are made out of what material and which ones can be afforded to maybe be dropped on occasion so as my and bounce fragile psyche hopefully made of rubber?

Right. Or at least hopefully maybe plastic or wood. So it might drop and just scar him a little bit. But you can pick him back up and juggle him again. I remember when Dad wasn't around for most of my time. That was weird. But right now, the gym and your job and everything that's kind of your livelihood so if if that's not in place how can you take care of

your kids and your wife and all that so that has to be a glass ball right now i would assume right so you can't drop that right now not at this moment right not at this fucking moment um but i heard someone say that once and i've just been i thought about that as you were talking earlier and i just wanted to use that i think i think that's a tremendous analogy but really what i what it's like for me is i'm benefited great greatly by being able to have a routine but i have to bring my my wife has to be on board with that routine also for it to work yeah sustainably um so just what i do right now is i work out monday wednesday friday i do that after i work so tuesdays and thursdays i do not work out so tuesdays and thursdays once work is over i'm definitely doing something with my family

or like fix you know fixing all the shit going to you know kids events and that sort of thing uh but i need to do that i mean i just i want to do that stuff anyways you know but like i can't just be lazy on those days yeah or else then when i want to go back to the gym on friday when i didn't do anything on thursday then it's gonna be a problem you know yeah that's uh the routine i was at before worked really well for that as it was yeah you know tell the kid you want to come to the gym do you want to or do you just want to hang out he could hang out here it'd be two hours we'd be back but but now it's like days on end you know i get home now and they're they're home because it's summer so i'll get home hey kids how's it going you guys

eating stuff the dog shit in the house no cool all right well i'm leaving see you later and poof i'm gone fortunately my wife you know like today she got done with work got home packed up the kids took them to the water park so they got to do a thing today right but like i didn't do anything today i did lots of things today but none of them were things that mattered to them right right so that's always tough to like you know this was usually we used to do stuff for every year you know my daughter would come with us the summer so the first thing we would do is go on this fucking vacation it'd be like a week in mexico yeah a week on the fucking beach or a week here and it was that was what we did every year for the last like five years and this year it's like oh no dad spent all

his money on this fucking fucking gym he's trying to open a week at so you so you get to spend a week fucking playing video games and watching tv because that's that's all we got right now yeah but uh i don't hopefully it all fucking pays off in the end i guess or it just keeps us afloat at some point but if we get to the point where i'm not having to work two jobs plus massonomics things then we'll be good you're right like if i can finally remove the day job and basically just have massonomics and then the gym paved to keep the lights on and keep the house in my name then then that'll be easier i think and at that point you're probably still busy but like you're mostly doing things that that i like to like to do so that's where i'm at yeah as i still have to spend six hours a day doing some shit that I really don't want to be doing.

Right. You know, just because it pays me well. I mean, that's, when you work for yourself, that's what most people say, is that you don't work less, you work way more. Yeah. But you're, you feel much more rewarded for it. You know. But it's all new to me. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

Yeah. You know. So, like, I don't have the... I'm not organized in any sense of the word. Like, you know. You've seen... Tanner is the guy that will have... I have folders and spreadsheets.

Yeah, I like spreadsheets. I have a lot of spreadsheets that I like. You wouldn't believe the expenses and stuff that i'm doing with this it's just like yeah i don't know there's just money not in the bank right now because i spent it on things and then there will be some money that comes in and then that's how it is so i have to get an accountant involved like this week i'm like oh jesus i'm fucking running a muck right now but uh you know like that's how was that a thing that was always like in your wheelhouse you always wanted to keep control over things like that or was that something you you went to a lot of college

right yeah is that something that you kind of had to develop in managing because you got a master's degree yeah in hugeness yeah i suppose it's been developed over time, but even as kind of a little kid, I was a little weird about some of that stuff. Like, I mowed lawns in my small town to make money. Did you have spreadsheets then? I didn't. Yeah, I did, actually. yeah i did actually but um like when anything that comes to money i've always been that way like not like cheapness but just like organizationally and like i would uh usually get paid in cash and i wasn't really spending the money so i would just uh that is where you and i

i would keep it all and like um perfectly straighten out the bills and arrange them from 1s, 5s, 10s, 20s, and then arrange them by year and have the stack of them rubber banded together. And I would just get them out sometimes and just count them. Look at your money. Yeah, yeah. And then just put it back away. So what I would have done, if I... I wouldn't have ever done a job like that for money when I was a kid.

I would have just been like, can I have some more money, Mom? But if I did have money like that, what I would have done was spend it all immediately. There would have been no accounting. It would have been like I have $100. What can I get for $100? That's exactly what it would be. I'd go to the store and I'd look at everything that i could get that would be just under a hundred dollars and that's how i would do it until it was just every time i got money that's how we do it but

you but i feel that probably made you happy oh yeah for sure like yeah it was awesome and just like you counting your money and i would put it away and be like, all right. There's eight more dollars than last time. I'm excited about that. So I do think, I don't know if that's a thing that, I'm always curious. I don't know if that's a thing that people can learn. I think some of that is maybe just wired in you. I lack discipline in those things. I'm not interested in those things.

I don't fucking care to know. I want it to be taken care of. It's kind of like making my bed. in in those things i'm not interested in those things i don't fucking care to know i just i want it to be taken care of it's kind of like making my bed i i think a little bit of that is just wired and people because do you know a lot of people that change that like anybody who's like yeah he used to be all over the place now he's so organized right you know i don't think that changes my son is the exact same way and i feel so bad for him because it's gonna suck he better get partner up with somebody who knows his shit because he i actually ran into his school teacher at a wedding last weekend who said she kind of she said so did you know that lincoln left

all of his school supplies in his desk this year and just left after school was like like the last day of school one of the things they do at the end of school is pack up all your shit and take it with you and he was just like no i'm just gonna leave now which is funny because that's how i used to when i would move from one place to another when i was like in college i'd be like i'll just take my clothes and like throw my guitar and a tv in the car and fuck the rest of it. Let's just go. But I don't think that that changes. I don't think so very much.

At least it's not going to for me. I just have to get somebody else to do it. Yeah. Because when I was a kid, this was the same story from when I was in middle school to when I was in high school. When you're in middle school, you know how all your shit's in your desk. Right. That's your only thing. Yeah.

And I was always the kid who got up. When you open it up. My desk was a fucking crime scene, right? It was awful. And I could never find a pencil to save my life. I just apparently didn't have them or I'd lose them, take them home. And when I got to high school, it was the same story, but it was with my locker. Yeah.

And I just never, my locker was always a fucking fucking you'd open it and be like oh shit you know try to get in get some shit and get out um same deal where i get to class and be like uh i don't have a pen uh-huh like bitch that's the only thing you got to do here is have a pen and something to write on and um and now that i'm an adult with a you know i have like a good job and stuff where i fix furnaces and air conditioners and the like and it pays me okay and i've done it for a lot of years and i'm very effective at it and my fucking van if you go and look at it right now my boss doesn't even look in my van anymore because it starts a fight every time 12 years i've done this and he

opens my van and i'm the best technician he's got probably the best he's ever had and he will open my fucking van and shit will fall out he'll open the passenger side door and monster energy fucking cans come rolling out onto the floor he opens the back and he just shuts it because it's fucking makes him mad and we've had probably like five or six like knock down drag out like i fucking don't have the fucking time to do it i don't give a fuck i don't know i'm fucking you know and then he's like well it's my van i'm like yeah and it's just like so but it doesn't go anywhere so we both decided that he's just gonna let me do my thing and i'm gonna just do my thing and not hopefully make too many mistakes

because i'm totally unorganized well the end result is the important part you would think but i i suppose you know you you want to have a good system if you're an employer too right you can't let some guy just do whatever the fuck he wants so so i get that but i'm totally not gonna like clean my van every day or anything i don't got time for that especially now so my van now is basically my desk in middle school except it's like a twenty five thousand dollar desk full of fifty thousand dollars worth of tools in just a fucking heap of shit it's fucking insane and i just live with it it actually drives me nuts though like i said before it's like making your bed like i would prefer that my bed be made and crisp every single time before i go upstairs and go to bed for sure i want to get into a made bed i will never fucking ever make my bed though

so like i won't like bitch at my wife if she doesn't make the bed because that will start a big fight but fortunately she does right because if i because like when she's out of town for a while like i'll be like i'll get up to bed and like god damn it sheets everywhere like this sucks when you go to bed you just want i just like you don't want to mess around with things then you want it right but i'm not a bit i don't see that's there's certain particular things that i'm good about being organizational with and certain things i'm not like i do not like making my bed that's not something that i want to do don't run away we about lost a great day in here he's back um but in in the military and basic training

you have to have perfect hospital 45 degree corners all the time so what i would do there because i didn't like making my bed there either is uh for four months i never slept underneath the covers on top of the i just slept on top of it every day and just uh tightened it up in the morning like for four months i did not sleep underneath of a cover you just slept like a fucking serial killer on a twin size bed like for some reason i was on the top bunk too and the guy underneath you is like i sure hope he doesn't wake up in the middle of the night and come down and fucking strangle me he's got he's fucking counting his money like seven or eight times hides it under his bed that he never sleeps in yeah uh that was a great time save see that was uh morning time saver everyone else would be dicking around like making a perfect bed in the morning and you're either getting five extra

minutes of sleep or you're just bright-eyed and bushy too right right so um yeah so i basically i'm a lost cause i think what would what would megan say she would try to change me over and over and over and over and over again forever it never was that's what she would say that's she's like i'm gonna fix him that's uh yeah it's kind of like you know how you ever take hangers off of your or close off your coat hang or your hangers in your closet right uh-huh and i just leave the hanger there where it is i take the shirt off yeah it's just in place she fucking hates that it has to come out and then there's a spot where there's empty hangers and um that was fine when we first moved in together and it was fine when we got married.

But as things have evolved, now it's, you need to move your hangers. You need to move your hangers all the time. And so she's been trying to change me one coat hanger at a time. And I fucking am dug in on it. I don't do it. I won't do it. I'm all right with leaving the hanger. I just don't see the problem.

What's the big issue? Well, then you just put it back, like, the whole thing back there. Well, it's in the system here. So what she does is then she'll take a stack of the empty hangers out while the clean clothes are folded flat onto the bed. And then she just puts hangers in one at a time. Yeah. So, whatever. But I refuse to do it.

So she has, for the last few months, refused to put away any of my clothes so i have been living out of a now three baskets of clean clothes just on the floor heaping piles of clean clothes every single morning my my my dress shirts that i have to wear for work i get up i put on my pants i brush my teeth like an adult put on an undershirt i'm ready to go and i grab my shirt out of a big pile of wrinkly shit and i go and i throw it in the fucking dryer for 15 minutes yeah just one shirt drying for 15 minutes while i eat breakfast and then i put it on and i go out like a big boy because i fucking can't put away my own clothes because i don't have time but um but yeah so i think i'm hopeless but uh but whatever so that's a sad ending to this episode i don't think we provided you with any good tips or like no basically you're either tanner or you're tyler and there's no there is no way in between i don't

think i would be very interested i'm gonna guess that Sean's is more of a Tanner. I think so. And that Tommy is more of a Tyler. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe some of both. Maybe. See, it depends on the specific area of people's lives.

Maybe, yeah. Like Tommy probably has some areas where he's more like you and some areas more like me. He's young. He'll fall into his terrible patterns eventually. So did we have any reviews or anything we needed to get to today? We didn't have any stinking reviews. Really? So shame on you guys.

Well, I guess it's time that we just cancel the podcast once and for all. Yeah, if you guys aren't going to give us reviews on uh apple podcasts it's officially apple podcast now i think so i think that's correct uh i am just going to double check and make sure that i'm not wrong but no we do not have any new ones since what about international reviews you know they uh code those differently oh yeah those oh shoot there's like 70 of those that i have oh okay but they're all in like different languages yeah so we can't read those props to all our foreign listeners so well i think that's gonna wait wait have i read this review which one let me see it this uh one right here cake for breakfast i don't think I've read that. No, no, that's a new one.

Okay. That's from Big Jim. That was actually Becky's account posted it on there. That's why the name is on there. Okay. It's the one that you'd recognize. That's from Big Jim. Okay, because it didn't up our number.

I bet you it replaced Becky's old one because it was on the same account. Right. That's why. Cake for Breakfast. Five out of five stars your podcast is awesome i am pretty busy guy and have no time to be addicted to a podcast so thanks for that cake is a perfectly acceptable breakfast food because it has eggs but only when eaten with milk seriously you guys are not only entertaining but i learn a little with each episode p.s i'm a dude whose wife made made him leave this review well i don't know if we have to thank big jim for being a pushover or we thank

becky for pushing really hard we need more what more of you wives out there force your husbands to leave reviews and i bet you a significant portion of our reviews are from from the women for sure they're the only ones that care enough and have any follow-through it's only it's only I bet you a significant portion of our reviews are from the women. For sure. They're the only ones that care enough. That have any follow through. It's only because Tommy's so good looking. That's true. All right. Well, I think that's going to do it for us today, guys.

We've got, let's see, how do we wrap this up? We've got, make sure. With a nice little bow. With a nice little bow. So here's the things we need you to do. First thing we need you to do isn't going to cost you any money. You just need to go to Apple Podcasts or it's on iTunes, Apple Podcasts. Make sure you leave us a five-star review on that thing.

That helps us become visible, puts us on the – we'll finally be able to go from the second most popular podcast in the health and fitness world to number one. Yeah, that's what we and fitness world to number one yeah that's what we're shooting for number you know we can't be number two second fiddle to whoever is number one for much longer right um after that go to massonomics.com the best way to actually support the podcast so we can keep making it is to buy some shit massonomics.com there you'll find click links to the store we got shirts hats tanner's sweet

weekend warrior shirt he's repping um that's kind of where it's at and warrior the weekend warrior we also have hats that are selling like hot cakes so uh get one you want to be the first one in your gym that has one you definitely don't want to be the eighth but you do want to be the first you wouldn't want to be the second guy and being being the eighth guy in your gym that has one is still pretty cool yeah so if seven people have one you should still get one you would want to be the first though if you have the opportunity because people will be like oh that's a cool hat where'd you get that everybody who gets one says man everyone thinks this is the shit and we go we know that's what we make them

but uh and then also at massonomics.com there's all our articles other videos the rest of our podcast in the archive there um make sure you like massonomics on facebook that's where anytime we post a new article we usually let you know there we also do the same thing on instagram tanner what's the instagram handle instagram at massonomics check it out so wheat and i'm tyler you can find me at tyler effenstone that's tyler eff i and stone and megan just a reminder can be found on quads like megan and um maybe you should call out quads like rob for a quad off between quads like megan and quads like rob get some hype get some hype tell them tell them shots have been fired yeah and actually it's

probably the only way that he wouldn't be offended if it is a woman. You know what I mean? Because if you're a dude and you're going to call out Rob Philippus for like, dude, let's see whose fucking quads are bigger. That's a real douche move. But I have a feeling if it's Megan, he's going to be like, all right, let's do this. So it's time for a quad off. I think you need to let Rob know. Make sure you let Megan know, too.

So I think that's all of our dirty work, isn't it? That's about it. That's about it. We're probably out of time. They cut us off anyway. Yeah, they're going to cut us off. I'm getting them in my earphone. We run out of internet at an hour.
