Alright, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this week's episode of the Massanomics Podcast. I'm Tyler, next to me is Tommy.

What's up? And over there is Tanner. Hello! So, this week is, I'd say there's a pretty serious landmark this week for us guys. This is episode 100. So for those of you that have been listening to us we did episode one um our moms and also us ourselves thanks for all the support and for like paying our car payments stuff are you surprised that we made it to 100 episodes well i'm not because i knew that the only way to do it was to like you have to do it for the long haul

like there's a lot of people that want to be what was the saying people want to be internet famous but ain't nobody want to make no content it's like you don't even like if you've been listening to this podcast you know you don't even have to be good at it you just have to do it a lot yeah we talk about that a lot like if we can just just just last longer than the other guys yeah here we waited out mark bell and jim mcdee yeah we basically that was that our achievement in 100 episodes we we buried the power cast we put them under technically they have more episodes than us but it is a later point in time and we're still going they're the ones that shut it down we could catch them though probably within uh you know like nine or twenty years yeah

uh i i'm also not too surprised because i don't think we went into it thinking like yeah we're gonna give it a shot and i'm just surprised the number 100 just sounds yeah like a hundred's like really we did this a hundred times i guess we didn't exactly do it a hundred times you know we had some different combinations of people here and there but right a hundred is a lot of episodes for a hundred a lot of anything really yeah it is interesting because i don't even uh yeah it's hard to describe that it's not even really, it's difficult to do 100 episodes, right? But that's only because you have to do one thing on time without exception for almost two years.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. So, like, have you gone to work without exception on Monday morning every single day for two years? Well, not really. You get one day off right you get this holiday here you took yourself a four-day weekend these motherfuckers got to drop on monday morning no matter where we are yeah so that becomes it's actually like aside from raising

children it's my greatest responsibility it just to get it out every week though it takes uh it takes some take some work and if you want to know the measure of tanner and i's friendship i look back at my text messages from tanner and it is every single week always there was a time where it was maybe like 20 messages in a row it said hey when when you're gonna get that episode uploaded so i can do the video hey when you're gonna get that episode up hey when you're gonna get that episode uploaded so I can do the video hey when you gonna get that episode hey when you gonna have that episode uploaded hey and it was just

on and on and I was like man I am the fucking worst and it was the same this week too well you know what they say it takes a village to raise a child yes basically and the podcast the thing is for Tanner you guys this is for Tanner, you guys, this is...

For Tanner, how long does it take to upload, not even edit, but upload a podcast episode? Because the video quality is so high. So I usually try to get started on Friday, started uploading on Friday evening. But when I don't upload the audio even, just for him to start, he can't do anything. Since we do use... We're pretty high tech we use multiple camera angles here yep so in order to go like any legit movie set right of course and any super legit podcast you guys have seen some of our uh so we it takes me you

know our episodes are an hour long so uh even if i skim a little bit i'm usually only skimming 20 seconds at a time because I have to know. Like if I put it on you and then you stop talking 15 seconds ago. And it's just me sitting here just smiling, shaking my head. It kind of looks weird. So you do have to engage in every second. Yeah, I skim about 10 seconds. Like I'll change it and then if I'm not really watching it purposely for a reason, I'll skim 10, 15 seconds.

And if it's still that person talking I'm like alright we're good I'll let it go a little more and then I'll switch to the full one but yeah it basically takes an hour to watch an hour you know at least but then to make that a clip onto my

computer that what would you call that? to export it. Yeah. That takes at least an hour. Isn't that fucking insane? Yeah. I don't even,

why is that a thing? Cause it's on my computer. Yeah. And like, that's tied to it. Like that's just tied directly to your computer. Uh huh. Uh huh.

Performance. Right. And so once I have that, then I can start uploading it, uploading it to YouTube. and that's what takes a long time it doesn't take any work it's just i have to start by a certain time time or else it's not going to be done by a certain time so i start friday evenings like thanksgiving dinner yeah just like a good turkey in the fucking if i started on friday evening it's usually it's done

sometimes sunday and then do you put a notification out to the family and say, be careful of the internet for the next two days? I say, what the problem is, is if someone goes in and logs out of my Google, like the Gmail. Yeah, your Google account. Yeah, my Google account, because then it screws up YouTube and it cancels the upload. That's's that's when you hear tanner i'm like who i'm across gmail you know you can't check your gmail on the computer from friday through sunday

get your own computer losers no it is her computer so that's kind of uh that's the uh you're like oh yeah you can't really dig your heels in on that one no um but hey hey mary is there any way i could would you mind logging me back in yeah and then don't ever fucking do this again please but right into sunday but what the the thing i'm thankful for is that it saves like however far you made it like your progress yeah so but it takes a while for that to kick back in. So you start to upload it again, and it looks like it's 0%, and you're like, oh, are you kidding me?

Come on. And then you might look an hour later, and it went back to like the 62% that it was at. But it takes from Friday night to Sunday sometime to get onto YouTube. And then what happens is Tyler is supposed to upload it and post to the website and post to iTunes and all that stuff. Sunday nights usually, but then Tyler tends to fall asleep early. So Monday mornings is when I'm supposed to do it.

And that sometimes gets weird with jobs and classes. And then sometimes there's another follow-up text from Tanner. Like, hey, are you going to publish that episode today? So like, shit, yes. I've always wondered behind the scenes how that process works. I've noticed sometimes. Tanner basically spends his entire day sitting there on Monday going, fuck in this fucking house.

And you know, we haven't even talked about this part off the air. But you know you can just be like, remind me when the moment it starts to bother you. I'll be like, oh, good. That's not usually what I'm like, though. I want to stew. But on the Monday part of it now, I don't worry. I know that you're going to do it. It'll happen eventually.

So I pretty much don't worry too much about that. I know that you'll get it eventually. And if those of you can't get it on your Monday drive to work, get it on your Tuesday drive to work. Yeah. You know, it'll, it drops Monday. But a pro tip. If you do want to watch it earlier,

I always publish the YouTube version Sunday night. Usually once we finish recording, I'll, I'll, so it's already done right now the video is is done and ready to go i just have to make it public right now and i usually i'll usually do that like when we leave here so yeah if you really want it early that's how youtube's your source youtube sunday night yeah one full day if you just cannot stand like that weight that suspenseful weight for monday ish maybe we should get uh we should sell premium content where we'll give them access to that like three hours early yeah there's people are doing

that yeah i know that's crazy like who's buying that i don't know yeah i mean or like is it for anyone's podcast or as i understand you're right because it's awesome but what what podcast can you be like doesn't micro do that like if you are in his thing, you get the next week's. You're just a week ahead, aren't you? He does either. I think so, yeah. Okay, yes, he does. He does.

And you know who else does that now is YouTube guy, the bro science guy. Oh, Dom. Because he makes so many jokes about how YouTube has like effed him every, like not him specifically, but his, yeah, his channel kind of has gotten screwed by YouTube a little bit, I think. Right.

So he has a thing now, like he has his own site, I think where you can pay a little bit to watch his stuff. Okay. Before it comes out on YouTube. And he's basically always just trying to get people. Oh, he's on advertising for YouTube.

It seems like. Cause he, what did he get? Didn't he get in a bunch of trouble with them for he was like, wasn't he running ads within his content? And then they started rubbing issues with the ads that YouTube would slap on his. Okay. I don't know. I just figured he got into some kind of trouble because he seemed like a lot of videos he had.

He was really bitter towards YouTube, which a lot of people were for a while but then like it seemed like his his whole like advertising all that changed a lot yeah do you guys know what youtube just did recently as far the change they made this last week as far as yeah we finally broke a million subscribers are you just talking about like the subscriber rules and everything yeah yeah now in order our youtube channel is not as a service to you, we choose not to monetize our YouTube channel. A, because we don't need 10 cents. Yeah. And B, then it would add advertisements to our videos that we're not going to make any money off of anyways.

Yeah. So, but now they changed anyone under 1,000 subscribers and a certain view count. Yeah, and do you have to have like a a collective one million views or something like that? Yeah, yep. So if you're under those levels, you can't even monetize your channel whatsoever. Which, like the stuff I've heard from people... Because they probably are tired

of just transferring nine cents. And that's what the things I've heard from people are like, until you reach... Even at that level, you're making dollars. So what's there to complain when people are like, well, what's the incentive to get into YouTube? It's like, if you're making dollars like you're right so what's there to complain when people like well what's the incentive to get into youtube it's like if you're purely doing something just for the money like what's your longevity in it anyways you know well i mean we understood that obviously we never monetize ours because it's like 15 cents is not you know what are we getting gonna get a dollar yeah and truthfully with the three of us all being

independently wealthy we don't need your That dirty YouTube money. Yeah, we don't need that shit. We need YouTube and their billions of dollars. So you guys have to help us get over 1,000 so we can start making that money again. Have you seen how much fucking, how rich he is? He is, don't they say he's one of the richest like fitness personalities? Yeah, for sure. Like the end it's like ever been.

Like he. And it's not selling like workout plans. No, no. He like, there was a video where he like legitimately went to the store and bought like or went to the car dealer the car store bought a uh bought like a mclaren f1 you know like a fucking million dollar vehicle yeah and then like and they're just yeah he was just like well they're like did you ever think that you'd be able to do this and he's like well yeah right duh yeah like that's why i knew i could do it that's why i made sure i made enough money so i could be this guy and then it wasn't uh didn't

like chris bell had a story where chris bell had made bigger stronger faster and such stuff and he was uh pulling up to this place in his like bustedass Durango. Yeah. And then out comes the bro science guy, pulls up in a Maserati. Yeah. He's like, fuck, you serious? It was at Gold's Gym or something. Yeah, he's like, I've made documentary films. And I think the whole point was we have world champion bodybuilders

in this building, and you're the guy. The guy pulling up in the Maserati is the guy that makes the videos that make fun of everyone. In all honesty, maybe I'm alone with this, but I think a lot of his videos are still pretty funny. I loved them when it first came out. That would be the thing I'd be like, oh, do you watch that? It's so funny he's making fun of having a muffin in his pocket.

The cool thing about it is they've evolved over time to him being more critical of the fitness industry in general because a lot of the things he's saying are really true like he's like i think the one he had this week was like everyone's a comedian now yeah how do you be a comedian you write comedian in your instagram handle it's like and then it's like and then uh how do you know if you're funny well you do a skit and people make stupid faces and then like you have a lot of followers so they watch it but then after they've you've watched it and you realize this isn't funny, but they've already got your view and it's too late at that point. And now you go to the browse page and this comedy video has a million views

and you watch it too because you fall for it. And it's like it's a vicious cycle of people that are not funny telling you they're funny. Yeah. But I think he is funny. He is. He is. And he does have that.

He's obviously a pretty intelligent guy. Yes, he can look at that critical. If you've ever seen, he actually has his own YouTube channel. Where he does have that. He's obviously a pretty intelligent guy. Yes, he can look at that critical. If you've ever seen, he actually has his own YouTube channel. Where he's the, where he, yeah. And he still is, I mean, is pretty funny in it, but he's not in character. Yeah, he's pretty fucking smart. Like, he didn't, he didn't just start freaking, like, flinging his dick around talking like an asshole on YouTube and got rich.

Like, this whole thing is pretty calculated. And then if you look, like, his videos are like a joke a second. You know what I mean? Oh, he's firing them up. It is so fucking hilarious. Like, between the puns and, like, the, like. And, yeah, some of the stuff that he comes up with, it's like, man, you had, like, 150 of those in this 15-minute video.

Like, how did you actually come up with all that crap? Like, for some people, maybe even us, I mean, that would be months' worth of Instagram content right there, you know? And he's just throwing it out there. 15 minute video like how did you actually come up with for some people maybe even us i mean that'd be months worth of instagram content right there you know and he's just throwing it out like a two minute video yeah he had a he had a bit on um but anyway back like just the sheer amount of like writing that he has to do just to make something like that happen is crazy like that is a shit ton of basically just comedy writing for a three minute youtube video and but my favorite one is he did an episode on chicken and i don't know if you ever saw chicken like

just the worst almost awful food you know like the bodybuilding yeah i have seen that yeah this whole bit you know his that kind of the punch is at the end it was like chicken it's bird tits you gotta boil the fuck you gotta boil the poison out of so you don't die before you eat it and uh but yeah he's yeah he's he's killing it in a way that uh you know really him and us we're we're here you know bradley martin's here the rest of the industry it's an elite club and i feel like he also makes fun of bradley martin a lot too they're they're into cahoots but it almost seems like he's not doing it in a way that friends do to each other either they must be friends though because they do a lot of videos together now so like it's uh but yeah he

really like rags on it even being friends a few things bradley martin's probably like uh dude like it's it's similar it's similar to yeah yeah it's like similar to in I'm trying to be famous here. Yeah, it's similar to in Born Strong when Eddie Hall calls up Brian Shaw. You know Brian Shaw is kind of like, well, that's not very nice. You're calling me a fat fucker. That's the first thing you said to me. I guess you're like one of the couple guys

in the world that gets to say that. Only because you're fatter than me. I wonder if Don Mazzetti is going to be at the arnold last year bradley martin was there yeah and uh we probably talked did we talk about what it was like when bradley martin walks into i don't know like crowds and crowds of people just to there to stand around him i'm trying to think of who else like had that besides him he's because because he was yeah arnold but he was there purely as like he didn't have a booth no he wasn't like selling stuff he was there like as a dude it kind of has that following though with which i do think if if he's gonna go to that thing

have a fucking booth yeah because you're just kind of a distraction putting people in the way yeah like it's like i want to get over there well plus i don't have a problem with bradley martin he's probably a fine guy. I think it'd be cool to talk to him. But, like, and I'm sure much like we talked about Michael Hearn, he's famous because he's probably pretty charming and good to talk to. But, like, I'm not going to stand with a crowd of 300 people around a person in there who's just, like, talking and, like, doing random crowd work.

And that's the thing, yeah. Because that's all it is. That's just a crowd that surrounded a person. yeah it's bradley martin standing there and he's a pretty tall dude so he kind of sticks up and then it's a group it's a circle a circle all around him and it starts it starts about six inches off of him and it's probably 150 200 people that just stand around him it's a lot of young people younger than us. Yeah. Yeah. It's definitely like the YouTube. Yeah.

Like, like, yeah, it's a lot of like, I would say like high school females and 20% a lot of dudes and 20% small dudes. I was going to say, no one really looked like they lift. No,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, want to know is like, so you make your way to the, somehow you're lucky enough that you catch Bradley Martin and you're like one of the four in the circle around him. So do you get up there and just like, we made it. And then like Bradley Martin just talks over you to everyone else. Like that's gotta be super awkward.

It reminds me of, uh, if you were in 1999 and the Backstreet Boys walked into the Mall of America. Into the mall you were at? And the same exact people would be around him like that. Yeah. I think if you're famous enough to where you're getting hit up for autographs, you probably need to have a booth. Yeah. Because you can't just be signing autographs in the fucking hallway.

It's weird. Yeah. At least for hundreds of people. Right. But I guess, like you said, it'd be cool to talk to him, but there's no part of me that Well, like when we saw, there was a few of those little like crowd clusters like that when he would pop up and it's like, well, yeah, it'd be nice to like work our way up to that, but I'm not going to shove my way through all these little people.

Yeah. Through all these like under 18 year old people. Well, if we were in that group, like older people would walk by and be like what are you what are those perverts doing in there you know it's almost like those guys with beards and they're tall and like you'd stick out they're clearly out of high school yeah yeah i got i got one more year left guys so hey guys the playground's down the street do you think what i forgot to mention this before do you think ct fletcher will be there i know he's had uh i don't think so i think he was in for like another like a pre-surgery you're talking about keeping him there because

they might go right into the heart transplant okay that was the last update as of like a day or two ago okay so i cannot imagine he'll be at the ar. No. Yeah, you wouldn't think. Which is a bummer. Yeah. Well, that almost what I would call like end cap, like capstone booths last year, like in one corner was 5%. Yeah. Rich Piana. Rich Piana. And the other opposite corner almost was like CT Fletcher, and there was enormous, just ridiculous lines for both of those.

So I wonder who's going to kind of fill that uh that void the mess and out well this year we're gonna go the real question actually we're is there going to be any it's like five percent booth there even like what is what happened to that like what i don't know i mean he owns it i'm sure there's probably money and that's it could be useful i mean there's self supplements and shit so i don't follow it enough to know i don't even like i'd be interested to see if it's still if they're still selling supplements still selling apparel if i was in charge of rich beyond as a state i would want them to oh yeah keep those things that marketing until it eventually falls apart or

you got to rebrand it or repackage it but most of those people were not at those booths to buy supplements matter of fact everybody's standing in the line trying to get free stuff is all the lines people i saw but they all wanted to meet rich piano like hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them at a time so i can't imagine that booth would be worth the damn and didn't we look at the prices for that booth that size is like a couple hundred thousand dollars i don't remember what they were like 150 000 or something too yeah like at that size yeah 100 feet or some like that that's like hundreds of thousands of dollars to have that booth there so i can't imagine they're gonna maybe this isn't uh maybe

this isn't fully appropriate yet but maybe they would have like a uh open casket totally so was that appropriate or i mean this is a comedy podcast so listen ain't nobody listening to this fucking podcast i mean if you listen watch like a chris rock stand-up thing or any of those guys man how do they get away even how do even those guys get away with saying some of the things that they're saying? Comedy. We're comedians. Tell people we're funny. I want to see if the WWE is going to be at the Arnold this year. Because they were in 2016.

And I just don't know if they're going to be there this year. Did we talk about that last time? Yeah. Yeah. God, I really want to get fucking the shit knocked out of me up there. Yeah, I don't think it's going to happen, guys. I guess we're just going to have to get into a fight. Yeah, we'll make it on.

Yeah. Well, this week does mark the first, first well by the time you're hearing this who fucking knows what it is but uh this is the end of like the first week of the crossfit games open so 18.1 is over yep 18.1 is over i think people have like one more day to do it if you retake it and you're not on the bubble of going to regionals i fucking don't so how many times have you retaken it now i Tyler? I haven't even done it. Don't plan on it. What? Yeah.

Well, I'm trained. Like, that's the thing people always forget, is they're like, there's some arbitrary thing that comes up, like the open, and you're like, if this is what you trained all year for, is to, like, kind of compete but get smashed by 300,000 people. Like, if you're going to finish in the 30,000 30 000th or worse place like why are you putting your entire years training like a month and a half's training fucking it all up risking injury

doing stupid shit repeating workouts tearing your hands because you just had to fucking do some toes to bar workout twice in a row and fucking up a whole weeks of training and then wrecking yourself again so you lose six weeks of training and then wrecking yourself again so you lose six weeks of training out of a fucking year if you do it like an asshole is that there really are six of them five weeks okay still that i didn't that's a lot but yeah so you're probably pretty trashed after well yeah like yeah you can be some of them are some aren't depends on you know what some of them are you're just not good enough to wreck yourself sure but like then people will repeat them but god i thought i could do

better i'm gonna do it again it's like but what but you just did it there's no nothing at the end for you yeah if you're just trying to beat yourself that's you know good for you but like if you want to be better be better in a year yeah you're not gonna if you get three more reps out of this fucking weeks because you redid a 20 minute workout like who nobody gives a fuck yeah you should just work harder the first time right or nobody cares the difference between i just that part i i don't get and then they'll you know the other thing that frustrates me about it is they'll celebrate a lot they'll have like muscle ups or some you know and everybody wants to try to even though they can't do them they'll be like oh i'll try to get my first one then and it's like well but you should have been practicing yeah it like if

you could do more than one doing one is not much of an achievement if you fucking separate your goddamn shoulders because you haven't done the work or the progression and that's the way most people end up approaching it so you'll see if they have muscle ups they'll be everybody will be posting like celebrating their oh i got my first ring muscle up and you're gonna look at a lot of really ugly really risky shit and like the risk just is not worth the reward for some of that stuff so you know we'd still do the open at the crossfit gym i own and coach do you have a lot of guys that do it then oh i probably probably got maybe like a dozen people that signed up for it or so so when do they do it like in respect i only have let people do it friday night or friday i i'd program the workouts for class on friday but

everybody who's not registered was scaling way back you know because i don't need anybody wrecking themselves trying to do something they can't do or just shouldn't be doing or that doesn't fit into their plan so and what day do the workouts drop thursday night okay yeah if you remember last year you can look back at our 17.12345 uh we did the you were america's sweetheart when it came down we did the too huge for fitness where i did i gave open tip workouts just the tips um for uh it really was just the tips it was just the tips and um and basically you know died on camera for five weeks but that was um but that's kind of the way i don't know that's the way i look at the open like what if that like if in the sport of power lifting they just issued these

weird arbitrary challenges that dropped down for like a month like yeah but you got to meet in five weeks oh like it sounds insane so like if somebody issued a deal tanner that was all right this week you need to do um 75 one rep max deadlifts for exactly no not even that like let's just set a number right so if you're stronger but good for you like if you to do 225 pound deadlifts 55 reps and then do well for something that work out to power lifting then do uh 55 back squats at only 135 pounds and then do 55 calories on the rower and then we won't and then 55 overhead presses at 95 pounds yeah okay um and then you do that as many times as you can for 20 minutes would you fucking do that of course not like that's so and not only that 55 deadlifts

for fucking time right like i'll make sure i do these i mean you're gonna be you're gonna be wrecked from that and like not in a good way you'll be like well now i can't move for it's like okay well i wanted to bench in two days that workout's gonna go to training to do right so in no other fucking realm of fitness is that fucking acceptable now again if you're gonna make it to regionals good if you want to just prove some of yourself that's fine you would know you're not gonna be like like if that sparks a little fire you're like fuck yeah tanner's like fuck yeah i'd like to maybe see how yeah yeah good for you right but like are you gonna do that workout twice then because you didn't feel that you did

well enough the first no no right and now that is i would say a um barbell equivalent to a crossfit workout that's been in the open twice the last once the last two years once each year it was 55 deadlifts at 225 55 wall balls that's That's what we threw in, just light back squats. 55 cals on the row and 55 handstand pushups. And there's like tens of thousands of people that do this, right? Oh, yeah. No, like 300,000 people. That's the crazy part.

Pay $20. Basically, you have to be in the top 0.0015% to make it to regionals to the next level, or 0.15%. So one-tenth, one-and-a-half-tenths of a percent will make it to regionals. So the rest of those people are paying $20 to just see their name on a list in the order with which they rank. And even if you make it to regionals, those regional competitions don't really look like the open workouts, do they? No, they're usually different too. They're usually a much higher volume. And then also, of the people that make it to regionals,

you have to be in the 1%. And there's a lot of people that make it to regionals who will get absolutely fucking destroyed, who will have events that they can't even it to regionals who will get absolutely fucking destroyed who will have events that they can't even do in regionals but they're of the elite enough to make it to the to regionals and fucking truthfully ain't nobody making it in there you know what i mean like in your gym ain't nobody wherever you're from probably probably not yeah you might have one or two if you're somewhat like great if you got one, maybe two. But realistically.

Unless your job is to do CrossFit, like not own a gym, but like unless your job is to like Reebok or some supplement companies are paying for you to do CrossFit, you're not making it to the games, right? And I'll see people who are like CrossFit gym owners. Like if you make it to the games, you're a gym owner. I'm like, well, you must have a lot of systems in place with other people that are doing it because there's no, like I barely know get to fucking exercise yeah right you know like most gym owners i know i talked to a guy when we were at uh julian's seminar in san diego uh he was a coach there and we did some conditioning stuff like just some sled sprints and it fucking fucked him up pretty bad and he was

like man he said since i since opening my gym he like, my conditioning is worse than it's ever been. And this is like a fit guy who's a small guy. And he's like, my conditioning is just dog shit because I don't, he's like, I can lift to maintain, so I don't look like shit. But he's like, I can't keep my work capacity high. I got a fucking business to run. And, but so anyway, we still do the open i encourage people to sign up if they want to but i what i what i encourage people to do all of my people

is like all of my clients is like if you don't want to do it totally don't do it like don't let you don't need anybody convince you that you should do it just because you do you exercise crop your training is crossfit doesn't mean you have to. It's like, listen, if you like playing flag football in your backyard, but the Vikings are having open tryouts, like, everybody, let's go. Let's fucking fill that place up. Because that's really what it is. It's an open tryout to make it to the CrossFit Games.

Have you heard of that, I'm feeling? Amongst professional athletes. Have you ever seen that Mark Wahlberg movie the uh what was it the what is that movie called airbud airbud that mark walberg movie so how do you what is the name of the movie though you know uh the replacements no no that's the piano no um nobody gives philadelphia philadelphia that mark walberg movie where Tom Hanks, they got the AIDS. It was terribly sad. But I could see it, though, if you did CrossFit, if it's just fun.

If you think it's fun, then I wouldn't want to yuck somebody else's yum if they think it's fun. But then I could never see doing it twice. Because then you're not doing it. If you're not actually competitive and you're just doing it because it's fun, why would you ever really do it again? And if you're doing it for fun and a training response, like to maybe just kind of use it as your exercise. So Tanner, what was your deadlift workout this week?

What was it? Oh, I did four sets of three of 600. Four sets of three. He's like, no big deal. Just humble brag., I did four sets of three of 600. Four sets of three. He's like, no big deal. Just humble brag. So Tanner did four sets of three at 600. But what if you really thought that you could have done five sets of three at 600? So instead of moving on with the next step of your program,

you wait two days and you take another shot at it. That's exactly what that is. When you were saying that, I thought that externally in my head. I was like, say you had five sets of of three of 450 and you missed your last rep are you going to then three days later but all right it's like redoing it that goes against everything that like the principles of getting like better like exactly and that's why repeating workouts is just simply a way to feed your fucking ego because you're too stupid to understand what you're risking and i tell everybody too and this goes with people trying to reach to do things in the It's just simply a way to feed your fucking ego because you're too stupid to understand what you're risking.

And I tell everybody, too. And this goes with people trying to reach to do things in the open that they maybe aren't quite capable of doing. Like something along the lines. Say there's bar muscle-ups, right? Sure, take a shot at it. But if you've got to swing your fucking chicken wing up and crank your fucking shoulder, I would ask every one of those people who does that what brought you in here and what are you here to accomplish this year for a lot of people i want to get in shape i want to be healthier i want to be able to fucking move i want to be able to look good in the summertime i want

to be able to fucking that doesn't help with any i want to be able to play with my kids well separate your fucking shoulder so you could prove to yourself that you can do this one thing that you really can't do right you know like don't you're not going to fucking prove to yourself that you can do this one thing that you really can't do right. You're not going to fucking prove to yourself that you can drive your car 250 miles an hour. Like, maybe prove to yourself that you can drive your car 100 miles an hour first. And, you know, in all fairness, powerlifting and even more so strongman is a little bit. There's definitely risk involved with all that stuff. Yeah, there's that max out factor. But, like, also. You don't have to spend much. a little bit there's definitely risk involved yeah there's that max out factor but but like also

you don't have to spend but just a is a train is like it's still exercise you know you're trained yeah it's your exercise whereas if someone's really into strongman and they're doing that that's kind of a calculated risk or maybe just like an unknown but that's the same thing if you're competing in crossfit too as you're taking calculated risks but if you're not competing right if you're not any good at it relative you know why get hurt well my thing when i actually there was a podcast uh power athlete radio podcast had ben bergeron the guy who coaches like katrin david's daughter and i think fraser at some point and anyway had coached like champions in crossfit and um the way that he approached it was with the average person he's

like you have no fucking business trying to do any of this shit you know these are these are professionals um and he also said like especially with kids you get like kids wanting to compete and he's like get these kids to do fucking team sports. Like, what the fuck? Yeah. You know, and it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to just bang your head against the wall to finish 40,000. Yeah. Well, and it's not a whole lot different than when you like in powerlifting.

Probably to me, the most comparable thing is when you see people maxing out like every other week. And eventually two things almost always happen either one you just don't get any better so you quit and burn out or two you get hurt and you can't get better because you don't know how to recover because you're just still trying to push yourself and you burn out again it's that same thing it's not a road to longevity in any way and that's why i think testing in general is where the risk comes in right so if you're testing the most weight you can lift off the floor you probably should have some sort of technical caveat to that right where it's like not the most weight i can

lift off the floor that moves off the floor maybe the most weight i get off the floor with which my spine stays inside my body right um same thing with squatting you know the most weight I get off the floor with which my spine stays inside my body. Same thing with squatting. The most weight I can squat without risking getting my face shoved through my fucking feet. But people go the other way, and I see it a lot, where people come in and they'll want to see how much they can lift by lifting heavier and heavier until they find the weight they can't lift it's like well what did you learn not what you can do you learn what you can't yeah and and i just think people run into that stuff all the time when they over test and the open is a five-week test

it's really meant to weed out the best you it's meant to weed you out yeah by being it's meant to be too hard for you so that we know which people are better than you. Yeah. Like way better than you. If you're the average. Just like people that are, we want to weed out professionals from the average. Way better than even people that are pretty good. Yes.

And if you think that you're professional level at this point, then okay. You know what I mean? If you think that, then that's good. But if you know that you're not, take it fucking easy. You know, just do a thing thing but i just don't like i guess if you're if you're guessing or if you're you're like i think i'm there you're probably not because the people that are there are the ones that are like oh who well who have also been destroying irregular people right like if you're not just smashing every single person in your crossfit ship you're not there if people don't come up to

you after every workout and be like holy shit yeah what the fuck like if you didn't do three times as much work in the same amount of time as the people like if you're not the best person in your crossfit gym you don't have a fucking shot yeah and if you are you you also don't like yeah that's like the numbers are so high now you know it's like it's like competing to be the tallest person in the world now i'm the tallest person in this room yeah but here i am the balls it would take for me to based on this information i'm the tallest person in the fucking world you guys or at least one of them uh-huh i don't see a taller person around so so I can't disprove that statement. See? Exactly.

But hundreds of years ago, the Book of Enoch. There used to be 100-foot tall men. 200-foot tall men. 30-foot tall men. 40-foot tall men. And they were finding their veins. Has science gone too far? Hashtag Bill Kazmaier.

Hashtag Kaz. Kaz thoughts. has science gone too far hashtag bill casmeyer hashtag cas thoughts of cas thoughts we cannot uh i don't ever want to shit on bill for for that because it's just so fucking hilarious yeah it's great but uh but anyway so that's the crossfit open however i do have a super awesome plan some gyms will do like friday night lights thing where they make a big deal like every week. And for me as a gym owner, it's like, yeah, I want the 90% of my population or 80% who are just there to try to get fitter to not have to have their shit all jammed up by this fucking competitive fitness. You know, these people are just here to get better. Let's just let them. But the last week of the Open, so I'm not going to do it every week. But the last week, I've got two guys that are pretty good at taking shit

and talking shit to each other. So we're going to just pit them together head-to-head. And I've ordered a fog smoke machine, lights. I've got a microphone deal plugged into our PA. I tested it out. I've got some sweet echo. We're going to drop the lights. And nobody knows what the workout

is. Nobody knows. Well, they'll know that day. They'll know the night before. But they don't know if it plays to either one of those things. And that's exactly the problem. Because they're not actually that good. So there might be literally some things they can't do at all. So if it's double unders with the jump rope, it's going to be really not interesting.

And also, if there's ring muscle ups, only one of them can do them. So it's going to be really not interesting. And also, if there's ring muscle-ups, only one of them can do them. So it's going to get one-sided pretty fast. So hopefully it's just like a burner workout where they – Where everyone can do it. Yeah, pretty much. That would make for some solid entertainment. I got the fucking song the Chicago Bulls get announced.

Yeah, there you go. It's going to be pretty sweet. Did you see Dan Bell was a ball boy? That was good. 1995 Chicago Bulls. No, I you go. It's going to be pretty sweet. Did you see Dan Bell was a ball boy? That was good. 1995 Chicago Bulls. No, I did not. You got to look it up on Instagram. Yeah, that was.

He looks like what you would think as a 10-year-old kid. If I had to describe him. I'm going to guess it is the most top-heavy child. Like if I saw Dan Bell and they're like, all right, go to that police sketch artist and describe him as a 10-year-old. Like that is what he would come out as. Oh, my goodness. And that just shows like some people are.

I want to ask him about that one or at the Arnold, how that worked. Yeah, because he's like right there with. Yeah, because he's like on the court with Dennis Rodman. Yeah, like one of the best teams of all time. I'm trying to remember how old I was when I saw the Bulls. See, I was too. I would have been eight that year. Well, yeah, how old is Dan?

Dan, I think he's like 30. So he would have been eight, nine, ten, maybe. For me as a kid, I was too young. Dan's like 19. I wasn't enough in the basket. for me as a kid, I was too young to dance. Like dance, like 19. I was, I wasn't enough into basketball. Like I knew that they were really good and I understood that Michael Jordan was really good.

But outside of that, what was I like seven? And so like basketball was still just too much for me to wrap my head around other than those guys are good. When I was at a basketball function just this weekend, there was two, I would say 10 year old kids like uh in a hallway kind of horsing around with the basketball you know like shooting it at the doorway and stuff

like that and the thing i literally heard one of them say to the other which made me feel old for one of the first times was uh yeah you michael jordan he was like you know how good Steph Curry is now? He was like that in the olden days. And I wanted to be like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Steph Curry is not as good as Michael Jordan was in the olden days. Like, let me stop you right there. Yeah. But he literally said the olden days. Yeah. And I was like, dude, that was like 1996.

It wasn't that long ago. But then that was 22en days. Yeah. And I was like, dude, that was like 1996. It wasn't that long ago. But then that was 22 years ago. Yeah. And you're old as fuck. Like Matt was telling me, Matt has a relative that teaches school. And she was telling him that in class one day, some of the kids were, I think it was like elementary school. Some of the kids were talking about Tyler Woods woods the best golf player of all time and it's like they didn't understand that his name was actually tiger it's that long ago it's like well yeah it's it's been quite a

while since he's played since he's been worth a shit yeah that's the real tragedy yeah they just they took all the fun away from tiger and then his game. He stole his drive. Took his mojo. He needed to be out philandering. Like it was like Austin Powers. They took his mojo. Some big fat man extracted his mojo. What did we see here?

I'm trying to think of what I saw this week. We talked to half thor's thousand three deadlift that was last week right yeah did you guys watch his road to the arnold video i have not yet and uh who else is on there some did you know that power lifter did you watch that i just caught one of the clips on instagram but i didn't have enough time to watch all of them he's a usapl single play equipped guy yep also really i mean all of those are good so watch any of them that ever come out but also really good and then who is the other one uh jerry pritchett has

and you gotta watch that yeah i didn't know he had one jerry pritchett legitimately works uh full-time manual labor jobs still like he wakes up at oh yeah 4 30 in the morning yes ryan was telling me this and then he yeah said he worked. So explain it. He doesn't work like 10-hour days. Yeah, like every day. And then goes to the gym for like four hours. I think it's he either kind of owned the gym or he's made like everything that's in there

because he's a metal fabricator. So he has some tie to the gym and he has his crew that he works out with. But he gets done and finishes up by like 8 or 9 at night and goes home and he says, yeah, i sleep like three or four hours a night and jesus and then he's in phoenix too correct yeah so i just how is that man not sweating 24 hours a day he probably is i am yeah it's like 20 degrees here today and i'm'm kind of hot. But when you watch him, in contrast to, say, Half Thor or Brian Shaw, it is a different life.

Just living that Hollywood life. Yeah. And it seems like a lot of his – Not like they are, but at least don't have jobs. And a lot of his training sessions just look blue collar. It's just the dude doing the thing. And he's at their level. I mean, he's at their level like i mean he's

maybe just well and that almost could be the deciding factor like if if he didn't have to work 10 up like i know for a fact if i work 10 hours a day my performance would suffer yeah very hard yeah i mean if i work at all yeah if i worked a manual labor job at all if I had to work a real job that would be like doing things things are getting done you're paid upon things moving from a thing and becoming another thing

there's no way those days are long behind me and I think that other guy that single ply guy is he a cop or something yeah i think that's because even like nick ty luki when we talked to him kind of the same thing like being on this cop like rotating schedule and all that sleep gets weird that would

suck and especially those guys are at a high level you know they're they're at the highest level of their sports and what they do so ronnie coleman a cop he was but i don't know if that was like you know like if it was like how shaquille o'neal was like i just i like in my head i can't picture him being a real cop like i'm sure he has the talent to do it but like that guy in a cop uniform should what is he gonna get out of the like does he ever get out of a car right to a ticket right i gotta look up to see we gotta find out the details here yeah i think he was though at one point in time he was you know probably the same thing when he really had to have just just the idea of ronnie coleman having a job yeah like that guy like when he was

like getting into his prime like seeing that guy in the normal world doesn't one of these just the questions that pops up is is ronnie coleman still a police officer listen i don't know but i'm sure the answer to that is no no i mean he ronnie it seems like he's probably got going through some like pretty tough physical times right now because every time i see he's having like another surgery of some kind oh really okay i think right i think in that he's in the process right now of like hip surgeries or something like that yeah i can't imagine like what was it eight years of being the peak of bodybuilding this is good for anyone's body the peak of bodybuilding like

during the peak of bodybuilding like it doesn't even now like it doesn't really get much better than yeah well i mean he's kind of the one that took it into where it is right yeah if you consider that to be the p you know if you consider people would argue that they don't like it but like yeah he is you know basically made it what it is now i think ronnie coleman was a real cop and like so here it says and it says here there's a video here of him responding to a disturbance, eating chicken and rice in his patrol car, nothing fancy. And then somebody asked him why he kept his job when he was the world's number one bodybuilder. And I'm not going to watch the video, but the recap on it here is basically he kept

it mostly due to the benefits that it had to offer him. Basically. I mean, good benefits, good retirement. None of those things you're going to get get even if you're making money right from sponsorships and shit like they're not gonna pay for your health insurance even if he was making a hundred thousand dollars or something right you know it's just yeah so that does make sense i guess and i'm gonna guess maybe he was there for a while and yeah so he was smart enough to have some i was just gonna say kudos to him for being intelligent,

having a little bit of foresight. Yeah. Because I feel like a lot of people. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, for real. At moment,

I get enough money from anything. I don't have to work. I'm done. Like, no, we're done. Burn it all. Especially like,

I would say even in like, like the, the fitnessy world of things, you'd even give people less credit of having the... A lot of those people, as soon as they can at all, not have a job. Quit my job.

Get it. Dang. Health insurance is really expensive these days. That was exactly what I found out when I jumped to open my gym. I was already like, man, we are taking a pretty massive pay cut whatever and then after uh looking for like megan had like a different job before so i was like oh well i gotta get health insurance now and then i was like oh i

fucked up i really fucked up expensive and, she got a new job that has really good health insurance that's, like, unreasonably affordable. So that was good. But, yeah, that would be a big deal, especially also when, like, if you're Ronnie Coleman, like. You're going to be needing that health insurance. You're going to be needing that. Like, you're going to get hurt at that level.

You're going to probably have heart attacks. But, like, yeah, he's had. I mean, he looks a little. You know, he does not look like what ronnie coleman looked like when you think of him in the videos yelling he does not you know he and granted he i don't know how old he is but he's probably 50 or something you know so yeah so i always got ronnie coleman and the guy from the uh who made all the noises from the police academy movies michael winslow is that it kind of makes you wonder if like instagram was around then like would roddy coleman still

have just a stupid amount like what do you have an insane amount of followers on instagram or i don't you you would think so but or was it because it was such an abs you know oh yeah was it because he was like this guy that popped up twice a year and like you just saw him in magazines until then like that did that add to the a year and like you just saw him in magazines until then? Like did that add to the legend of it all? His video, like the video of him squatting 800 pounds and, you know, him yelling lightweight baby. Yeah. Like his training partners laughing and like him doing nothing but a peanut, dumbbells and chucking them.

Like that was like the first fitness video that I probably ever watched and I probably watched it we watched it i mean a thousand times probably it's so good though like it's it's like it totally one of a kind thing and if anyone does anything like that now it's like oh they're just copying ronnie right i mean i still say i say yeah buddy in the gym like all the time that is a thing i don't know if is there is there a spot places like actual gyms where people lift hard and you say, yeah, buddy, and that's like a lost concept? I don't know what that means. No, I think everyone – that's universally – How many people just scream lightweight? That's always.

All the time. You hear that on like a daily basis probably. I mean if someone is about to lift, so what am I going to yell? That's what goes through my mind. I got a few tools at my disposal. Let's go. Come on. Lightweight.

Yep. Let's go. Yep. I say all those things all the time. I think that's basically what we all got. Every once in a while, you're like, I'm going to try a new one. And then you're like, nah, that one didn't work. Yeah, it's too long.

Why did I call him sweetheart? I was just really rooting for him. And then with Ronnie, like, everyone knows he has, like, this insane physique. But there's that one video where, is he doing a powerlifting competition or something? And he cinches up that belt. And it's like, whoa. Like, does he have a 20-inch waist? Like, how does he not snap in half his quads are like

39 inches yeah like that is for sure one like nowadays if someone took a picture of that and put it on instagram people be like photoshop like there's no way you would think that's real right but that's part of i think how he had so much universal respect across people is how strong he was too and how he actually i don't think that was his normal training but how he he would do it though heavy training yeah like we always talk about like why don't one of the strong men just like do like a deadlift only meet or something like and like he cut like ronnie kind of entertained the idea a few times like he would push it like you'd always have these hypotheticals of you know what if these huge equip ventures did a did a raw

bench you know like just give you give the people something to go with. A really good quote of his I have that they like is talking from that video. I can't remember the exact weight he did for a triple, and it was like 805 or something like that. Deadlifting or squatting? Squatting. That squatting, he's wearing that blue. It's actually a single-plied squat suit that he's wearing.

Yeah, was it that inter-suit? Yeah, yeah. Did he do it for two? Maybe it was two. It was two. And they they asked him you know do you have any regrets about your training or your things that you did over your career that you know you're at where you're at now is there anything you regret and he said uh the only thing i regret is that 805 squat i should have done it for three instead of two or something like that you know like i should have done it for one more yeah right i had one more rep right we're like yeah most guys are like

oh i should have like really pulled back like a little more care of myself the only thing i regret is i didn't do an extra rep on that and i always really liked that yeah not the best way to live but yeah someone else wants to get the guy. Yeah. But for real, though, motherfucker's getting out of a car, writing you a ticket. How does he get into a police car? I don't know. Yeah. And I don't know. There had to be some sort of like...

At a certain point, he had to have been a little bit like... Even if he went to work every day, it was kind of like Steven Seagal. Yeah, here you go. Here's what you're going to do, Ronnie. Yeah. We like him. He's kind of like the office.

It's great having you around. You're going to go to the grade school today and have another talk with the kids. It's like morale alone. Tell them to say no to drugs. Yes, yes. Well, that's the nice thing with Ronnie is I just wish more bodybuilders would do it naturally the way Ronnie Coleman did. Yeah. That also was at a time, though, too, where maybe I'm wrong, but maybe people weren't as privy to that and he could almost get away.

I think so. I remember hearing. I think pre-internet there was a lot more. Unless you were heavy into that scene, I think, yeah, everyone was really naive to it. I've had dozens of people in the last few years basically be surprised

at the concept that Arnold was on steroids. Or they're like, well, I wish these new guys would do a natural like Arnold. And we're like, well, guys, that's not... Not only that, Arnold has probably publicly admitted using steroids more often than these guys do now. Because Arnold's not tied up to a supplement deal.

These other guys can't bring it up because they want you to believe that their protein did it. But Arnold has, I think, even on Dateline, admitted to it before. you know, Arnold has on, I think even on like Dateline admitted to it before. So like, and I think, I think the excuse he likes to use is like, well,

it was the seventies. We didn't really know better then. Yeah. But like, and then, yeah, I don't know. But,

but then it, I feel because it like breaks these people's hearts or they think I'm wrong. Yeah. And I'm like, well, yeah, I don't know. I'm not.

So you can do, I i mean i just told you santa claus was on it is like that santa claus was on steroids it is like that for a lot of people yeah yeah but yeah arnold half natty in comparison to some of these guys i would assume he's like definitely pretty conservatively dosed yeah yeah the new guys now well see even the run i think like that ronnie coleman era was when some of those guys got weird big they said that was like a kind of hgh thing where they got all thick in the guts and they just like grew everywhere and then the waste went to shit after you know as they got older but um but now the guys are so huge and i think they've like bill cat bill kazmaier says they got older, but now the guys are so huge,

and I think they've, like Bill Kazmaier says, they've got their chemistry set really dialed in. You know who I saw on Instagram the other day that actually shocked me a little bit? Was that John Anderson? Oh, my God. He really is like, I hadn't heard anything from him because I don't follow him. I hadn't heard anything from him since the last time

he was on Mark Bell's PowerCast, which was probably like a year and a half, two years ago. And I always thought he was an entertaining guest. Like he's done a lot of stuff. He's seen a lot of stuff. He's speaking from experience. And I mean, the guy does, he's got it. Like he's big, he's strong.

He's done Strongman. He's been in the WWE. Yeah, yeah. So he is the real deal. And he was talking about how he just wants to get freaky big, like the biggest anyone's ever seen. And then I just didn't hear anything. And then i'm like scrolling through my instagram discover page and i see like these this head with this stuff underneath it and i click and it's him talking

i'm like whoa what is that his fucking traps are the size of like volleyballs yeah it's just his round now to the point where like i i see on his post there's a lot of people throwing shots like a synthol in his traps the rest of it you can at least see like striations and movement in the muscle his traps you just don't it i whatever hope that's not synthol yeah obviously it's not natural but yeah but they're fucking enormous that is the biggest organic like trap structure i've ever seen yeah and and there's everything is so separated from everything yes it's like giant circular traps one inch gap giant fucking delts one inch gap biceps and try like everything is totally not meshing together yeah because he's still

super fucking lean yeah but that dude is crazy huge yeah and i don't keep up big time on the bodybuilding scene you know i'm i know maybe the biggest you're more into the men's physique now that i can tell you a lot about but but i mean that is one of the freakier physiques I've seen. It's strange, like crazy. Who's the guy? That's fucking just bananas. Look at that fucking guy. Yeah, that doesn't look right.

Here, I don't even know if this is going to work, but I'll give you a little shot if you can see it on the old YouTube. What's that head doing on top of that stuff? That mountain. That mountain of stuff. So he is the underscore John with no H underscore Anderson with an E underscore IFBB underscore pro. He was in Williston, North Dakota last year. Really?

The John Anderson IFBB pro with underscores in between the shit. So fucking huge. Those traps look weird, though. It actually looks like someone injected a softball underneath his skin. It does, yeah. Everything else looks like it's made of muscle. I just don't know what his traps are made out of. But that is a freaky huge person.

And so hopefully we all look like that next year. That's the goal. Episode 200. Episode 200. Episode 200 goals. We're going to compare that picture to us. The challenge is thrown down. Fuck. So, well, that's going to wrap up the 100th episode.

Hopefully we don't let you down during our next 100. We do have some big things planned. Do we want to tease what we're doing for 104 yet? Well, 104, for people that don't get the milestone, that is 104 would be the two-year mark. So we're going to go a little more special. We're really going to celebrate then. Yeah. So if you're looking for that list, just wait a few weeks.

Yeah, between now and then, we should have some good Arnold coverage for you guys. And, yeah, 104 should be like a regular party. Yeah, it's going to be a regular party. What's going to happen? Like, are you going to say anything about it? Yeah, we'll tell them. So during the hour, I'm going to eat 100 chicken nuggets, 104 chicken McNuggets with varying dipping.

See, I'm a sauce guy. Oh, yeah. It's like the lubricant. And actually, my best sauce still is ketchup. I don't like, how do It's like the lubricant. And actually, my best sauce still is ketchup. I don't like... How do you not like ketchup with chicken nuggets? Man, I like ketchup with everything. I like the sweet and sour on chicken nuggets.

I'm going to go with... Buffalo, barbecue. Honey is also really good with them. Oh, that'd be good. What about the sweet and sour? Do you like the McDonald's sweets? Yeah, McDonald's sweets. I don't know if I've ever had...

McDonald's sweet and sour does not like sweet and sour sauce. I don't know if I've ever had that, ever. It is good. It's not red. It's like a creamy sweet and sour. What color is it? Creamy reddish. It's almost pale.

Super weird. Because I feel like making real sweet and sour, you could just put that in there. I don't know. I just don't know. I don't think real sweet and sour goes bad. I don't know. But it's weird that it's the way that it is yeah it's good though yeah but um but yeah so i'm

gonna uh smash 104 nuggets so you're gonna listen to a lot of this so there's probably at least one person out there that has a fetish for that type of thing yeah so if you are gonna make tell your friend who's into fat dudes eating what's's your over-under on finishing 100 chicken nuggets? Oh, for sure, finish them. I'm pretty sure. So, like, 10 to 1. I've had 50 in one sitting casually amongst many other sandwiches before. What's the time frame on something like that?

We're going to have about an hour. Well, we'll have an hour. But, I mean, are you going to actually eat for an hour, though? Like, eating for an hour is a long time. No, I'll have it done faster. That's what I'm saying. Probably like 20 minutes or less is my guess. I mean, five a minute is almost, I mean, I could do 10 a minute.

The first, like, four you could just put together and go, oh. Yeah. The problem with the McNuggets, here's the deal, guys. Is that they come out as one solid McNugget? I have gotten intoxicated a handful of times in the last couple of years. I have gotten intoxicated a handful of times in the last couple of years. And one of my go-tos is to grab a shit ton of cheap McDonald's, like dollar menu stuff on the way home. Like any self-respecting person.

Obviously, right. And we're talking. If you haven't done that before, like, I don't know if you should be listening to this. Yeah, this is not your podcast. But we're talking like between five and seven sandwiches, you know, give or take. Like that's not, it's like not abnormal for me to do in that condition so um so i've done before where i've had like 220 piece and a 10 piece and then like three mcchickens and a couple mcdougal mcdoubles so i've had like 50 nuggets and five sandwiches in a sitting before and not for a contest right well i can't wait to satisfy yourself me being sad in my kitchen i can't wait for episode 208 then tyler

yeah if i really crush it i guess we could just every episode we could go one more progressive overload that's actually it's uh i think we should maybe do a different podcast that is that it's a mcnugget cast where we just... The first episode, you eat one McNugget. Just one linear progression. And the episode's only about a couple minutes long. Yeah, you say a little thing, you go on, you talk about whatever went on in your week. But by week 300... Could you not see

that catching on to some extent? I think it's... I think someone out there should. It'd be on like a... 60th episode. There'd be a BuzzFeed list of dumbest people on podcasts. Now, if you really want to build some steam virally here, is don't do it every week. Do it every day.

Yeah, there you go. So then there gets to be the point where you had 75 McNuggets. The day before. And then today you've got to have 76 McNuggets. How sick. And tomorrow you've got to eat 77 McNuggets. It's just and tomorrow you gotta eat 77 one day is just one day you get through it i feel like even by the end of the month i'd be i'd be pretty burnt that would be bad so this is this is my thing with the like i can eat a gross amount

of calories at mcdonald's it's we're looking at about 4 500 calories for 100 chicken nuggets so oh it's not bad at all about 245 grams of protein we're about almost to my daily intake and that's all i can remember the fat was also pretty astronomical but i can't remember the numbers whatever yeah but it's about 4500 calories but the problem i have when i get mcnuggets when i get a lot of them is that they are i remember as a child i believed the mcnuggets were a little crunchier you know what i mean it felt like there was a little not so greasy so you're saying in the last 20 years

McDonald's might have skimped in the quality department well I don't know and it seems like and then because of that they're so oily because you know what I mean they're not crispy so they're just kind of soggy with grease and so that is where I know it's not going to

be episode 204 is going to be challenging we get another two years 208 208 you're right 208 i'm kind of the episode math in 11 years so uh so you have that to look forward to in four episodes two episodes from now. So there will just be one episode between. No, it's 104. God damn it. We just talked about this. This isn't a math podcast.

That's what happens when you send your kids to Catholic school. Jammed all the Jesus in your head and forgot about the math. Not enough room left. So, but that'll do it for us today, everybody. the Jesus in your head and forgot about the math. Not enough room left. So, but that'll do it for us today, everybody. So in four episodes, there'll be three episodes

that are not me eating chicken nuggets. I mean, I guess we can't guarantee that. I might have some. Everything's subject to change. I might have some next week. We're going to be in an airport

for a couple days. Then I can have seven. I can do that. It'll be $700 worth of chicken nuggets. We only sell them in six. We sell them in seven pieces at the airport. And they're $13.

And they just dropped in front of you by an angry. Here you go. We also cooked them a couple days ago, too. So there you go, you piece of shit. Now get out of my line. What do you want? I don't speak english and yet somehow i've been put behind this thing to communicate with you but anyway that was good for us today uh thanks a lot for listening make sure you check us out on all of the things um go to massonomics.com there you're going to find other

articles old podcasts videos um also in the store which is really the most important thing tanner is pretty much fully decked out in the gear unfortunately for all of you guys uh this was the last uh sweater sweater and i pulled the trigger on it today so i was leaving it though the one remaining extra large i was leaving it out there just in case someone wanted to buy it. But it tempted me for too long and now it's off, the sweatshirt is off the website. Yeah. So tough shit. But you can get a t-shirt that looks like that.

You can also get the hat that Tanner's got on. Tommy's got the t-shirt though. So you can get the Weekend Warrior t-shirt. I'm not wearing any of our stuff right now. If you're a big fan of male pattern baldness, you can get that on our store. The Huge Life shirt. The Huge Life shirt is the shit. We didn't talk about it last night.

A little bit. Maybe we teased it. Probably not enough. The Huge Life shirt is a tremendous hit, actually. It's been flying off the shelves. You need to get it before your friends do, especially if your friends suck. Some people have said, if I'm not huge, can i get the shirt and that's also kind of the appeal to

it is you don't have to be huge to be living a huge life guys yeah that's true you know it might even have more impact if you're not huge and you wear this shirt that's true a lot of people have actually asked that question too and that's the answer you don't you don't have to be huge we have an extra small and also like just if you're into huge dudes, that's how you kind of put it out there. Yeah. Right? I like the huge life.

Mark Bell, you can go ahead and do that too. What else do we have? The Facebook. Facebook. Follow Mathsonomics on Facebook. People still do Facebook. I only still do Facebook because you can use words. It's easier to use words.

That's about it. You can't really. I think by the day it's interesting me less. Oh, it really is. Even over the last 12 months, my amount of like I basically don't use it anymore. I don't know. It's I go to get the notifications off. Yeah, you do.

You really go there to clear it. And then look at what type of people that don't know very much are talking about politics today. Yeah, we're like, man, this really seems like this is in your wheelhouse. Oh, yeah. I have to find. Pretty sure you don't know anything about that. So let's. Right.

I want to know your opinion on this, though. And I'm sure everyone else does, so they can't change their opinion. Guns would be the topic of the week that I'm not really interested in finding out more about. Guns are going to be a frontrunner for topic of the year on Facebook. Fun fact, though, I don't give a fuck about any of that stuff. But my favorite thing about Facebook is because you can use words. My version of politics is I state my opinion on a thing that's personally reasonable and has nothing to do with politics, religion, or anything.

And people jump up my fucking ass about it. Such as, if you prefer your eggs with a runny yolk, there's a 99.9% chance that you don't have a beard or mustache of any significance. And I have 32 people fucking straight up fucking like, you're a fucking idiot, blah, blah, blah. Have you ever seen us professional chefs eat your denatured eggs those are garbage blah blah blah uh just keeps going on not cool man over easy blah blah other than omelets beard or not there's a 99 chance you're not a real american i mean no topic is safe anymore the bullshit that i have to deal with for taking a stance on an issue that's important to me is this facebook or a youtube comment section exactly like i just get fucking

buried you know and then same deal yesterday friday i said guys you can all stop pretending to like kombucha now and fucking i had 28 people chime in about how fucking kombucha is good and i'm a fucking asshole. So that's what you get for talking about the issues on Facebook, which we do not talk about on Mass Anomaly. So would you say cyberbullying is a pretty big problem? It's alive and well. There I am. I can guarantee you at least one of those people that disagreed with you in an unpolite way may have talked about cyberbullying and the dangers of it to people before, too.

I'm sure. And here they come, jumping my shit, belittling me because of my opinions. Yep. I don't know how people do it with politics, then. That's why we stay away from it. So if you want to see things that are not us taking hard, fast stances on kombucha and runny yolks, follow Myosinomics on Facebook. Yep.

That was a long pitch. Yeah. Other than that, you can follow us on Instagram. I'm Tyler. You can find me at Tyler F. and Stone. That's Tyler EFF, I and Stone, and Tommy. You can find me at Tomahawk underscore D. And Tanner.
