pay attention to the number today's probably the first time i paid attention to the number and i actually had to look and see if that was actually it's not really necessary to say the number even but i just like to do it some people might just be on autoplay they're just letting it spin and we gotta we gotta keep them in line with where they're at i still uh it's still interesting to me when people will will say that they're they just started the podcast like that alone is weird to think that people are like just found out about it and just started listening to it and like uh the guy dave that runs yes uh garage gym power lifting yes he lives out in utah he just started the podcast from one i saw that and was absolutely shocked yeah and he he works

out he works on solar panels uh is that what it was i saw the yeah he works out on the story of video playing or something yeah and he's by himself all day. So I said, geez, it's going to take you a while to catch up to 185. And within three days, he was on episode 21. I was like, holy crap. Oh, man. And I told him, you're going to notice some significant differences. That's such a small amount of time that you're going to hear the whole story. Oh, it's compressed so hard.

It would actually be really – we should almost just talk to him when it's done and like get his opinion be like how because i'm never going to go back and do that like no how was that taking that all in like yeah like did you notice any major like maybe you know the obvious shifts of the biggest one would be tyler levy right someone leaves a podcast it's a very different thing but yeah um if he if he notices any major shifts probably even later on he'll notice just our format did change quite a bit too right we're kind of having a single topic to just kind of be okay we went we are the segment podcast now oh like podcasts about nothing yes we are the podcast about nothing and we are the segment lifting podcast about nothing several variations of saying that thing but like in the beginning we didn't have segments like we do now at all we'd eventually

have these bubbling personalities no that's true that's true we eventually did have like the tanner sack was kind of a segment that was probably one of the first ones yeah but it was a long time after that until we said hey let's i don't know which one would have been the first one that we get whether it was overrated underrated or that was obviously the first one that we really stuck to for a long time yep for sure i don't even know like it's just it it you know what else is funny to think that um you know in any given month there's whatever at least 10 000 there's like 10 000 people listening to these uh if you were in a room oh we'd be just selling out auditoriums like but like if you were oh i would suck i would suck at this so bad just think if there's a few thousand people like there

this episode within the time that it comes out within uh a few weeks there'll be you know over a thousand people that listen to'll be you know over a thousand people that listen to this yeah if there's a thousand people sitting in front of us right now i'd be like oh i suddenly feel significantly more pressure than oh yeah i feel like i'm under anyone everyone's eye like you can't be yourself but that's you can't think of it that way no i mean you have to realize that that yes a lot of people will hear it but it's the same thing you know in my job with graphic design and i'm sure a lot of people's jobs, if you think about it enough, it probably happens. But like, I remember early in my design career thinking like,

oh, this website is going to be seen by this many people, or this project is going to be, maybe a sign is going to be hung here and printed here. And these, these, they're going to run 30,000, 40,000 of this piece I designed. And thinking like, God, so many people are going to see it. Then you realize like, well, but also everyone's just having their own little quick experience with it. Like it's not like, all right, 30,000 people attack this thing, like pick it apart. And like that's just not how it works.

Nobody ever is going to scrutinize it the way that you do. No, no, no. And that's what you can't, like, yeah, you have to be aware of how it's going to be consumed in the end with anything you're producing, whether you're writing a report at your job or an email, you have to be aware of how it's going to be consumed. But you can't think of like how every single person is going to react to it because you just, you would get nothing done. Right. Right. So we just act like nobody listens to us.

Like it was at the beginning. That is the easiest way. But yeah, it is really funny to think of like, what if we did a live, because some podcasts do that. We're not at that. We're obviously nowhere when we don't even live in a part of the country that would ever allow it. But some podcasts do like a live show.

And I think like, how would a live show even go for us? Like, I mean, we'd obviously have stuff to talk about if it's a live show. I don't know. I picture like a lot of heckling. Probably.

Yes. Oh, your shorts are so expensive. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They would definitely be. I would be like shocked if that didn't happen. But I don't even know. There's the dynamic would be so different because instead of me, for the most part,

you know, us kind of talking towards each other. We're kind of talking towards an audience now. It would be weird. Yeah. towards each other we're kind of talking towards an audience now it would be it would be weird yeah i like you sent me the little snl skit skit as long as we're talking about podcasts and yeah so there was uh it was the guy on strength did you watch stranger things tanner yeah i'm not have you watched all three seasons i'm not i haven't watched the third season i started like the first episode fell asleep and then i just never went back to it i don't know the first

two seasons were enough for me where i'm like i had a lot of fun the first two seasons and then i was thinking well maybe i've seen these kids get into enough trouble i don't know yeah i'm sure if i actually sat down and watched the third one i would probably still be entertained but whatever uh is it hopper is that his name yeah the cop yeah whatever his name is he was on snl i think a week or two ago uh-huh and oh yeah he was the dad on that yeah yeah yeah didn't even put that dad yeah and uh one of the you know saturday night live always has these fake commercial skit things that they do and i thought it was a very funny concept it was uh what did they call it like pod father son podcasting mic

or something and all all it was, was a mic stand that you set on it. It starts with a kid and his dad, like a teenager and his dad, and they can't talk about anything. And then the dad, I think gets out this, the father,

son podcast, Mike kit. And they set down this, uh, the, the podcast stand podcast microphone on a table. They're face to face and they each have a microphone they're talking like they're on a podcast and that's their way of talking about things it's the only way they

can talk yes yeah because it's the only way you can talk uninhibited you know because otherwise you know our phones might ring during the podcast but it's one of the few times in life outside of like maybe a meeting at work where you can't look at your phone right where you're like well i'm gonna put that on hold because we're doing this thing yeah and so it's just funny because they're like yep they're acknowledging like a podcast is the only way in this day and age to have an actual face-to-face conversation with anyone yeah especially a father son like when you put it in that perspective and but what i really liked was when they're like and when things start to get uncomfortable the best part because what was his son saying he was i think he was about to say like i love you dad or something and then all of a sudden

his dad comes about and let's not forget today's episode is brought to you by squarespace make your next move and the son's like yeah but you know yeah yeah that's right dad uh save 15 of your next plan by visiting and whatever yeah because that was great son squarespace is pretty heavily advertised on podcast they are they are they definitely i listen to a lot of what I would consider podcasts that are not connected in any way and Squarespace is on all of them.

It is on all of them. It is. We got to get them. We do got to get them. You know, I could be using the promo code just on my own, you know? Yeah, that's true.

Masonomics uses Squarespace. We do. Yeah, we could use it on it. Yeah. Keep that going. But yeah, I think that's what's happening in the podcast world. We got that part covered.

We did, Tanner, we did survive Snowmageddon 2019, October 2019. We do need to get back on the weather. I would say that we did not all come out in one piece. And you may have, but I did not. My wife was sick going into it.

And I thought, we're four days in. I am in the clear. And just when I thought I was out, it pulled me in. And it was like Sunday night. I was feeling down a little bit. And I woke up Monday like someone was poisoning me while I was sleeping. And it was the whole like throat, couldn't breathe, felt so weak. All your bones ache.

Like, you know that feeling when like cold things feel like it's literally like a cold nail touching you? Like I never get that, you know, except for when I'm sick. But I know it's bad when you know i have long hair i get out of the shower i'm out of the shower and my hair starts dripping on my back and i'm literally like jumping because i'm so sensitive to that to that cold stuff yep and i'm happy to report though that i am on the up and up now you're on the upswing i'm coming around but there was it was it was two days it really, really hard. But you're on the mend now. I am on the mend.

Snow is basically all gone already now, too. Yeah, besides the big piles that plows would have pushed around, I don't think there's any snow left in town. No, I built an enormous snowman. A really large snowman, and now it's down to one small pile. Is that all it is? Yeah. It looked really funny.

Tanner had a video picking up this enormous, it looked like an enormous stone. Yeah, it looks like an Atlas stone. Yeah, it looks like an Atlas stone. This thing is huge. What was it, probably four feet tall? Yeah. And then the fact that you could grab it and pick it up. It's like, wait a minute, that doesn't make sense.

That was my first attempt, and I didn't know if i would be able to pick it up or if i would have to like try and laugh at like yeah but i just grabbed it and like i could kind of just pick it up uh you know straight up with like one motion i was like oh it wasn't as heavy as i thought it was gonna be it looked weird like because it's such a big you don't see objects that big right people actually picking them up and the fact that it like stuck together and you could set it down it's like yeah that seems fake even in the moment i was like oh i'm surprised that that worked like that uh honey i did this right here i was step back kids like i was pretty proud of the snowman uh by the time we got finished yeah it was uh it was a real now he's gone

i'm sure he'll have a chance to come back before you know it. Yes, for sure. Probably not far away. I am getting thirsty, though, Tanner. Oh! Luckily, we've got a segment for that. Thirsty? There's a segment for that. There is. I don't want you to look at the can again.

Can I look at the koozie? You can look at the koozie. Spoiler alert, I don't want to give anything away, but we may have done something similar to this before. If not this before. I don't care. I'm really thirsty. So here we freaking go. That's that refreshment I needed.

That is what I needed. Oh, that's that refreshment I needed. That is what I needed. Actually, I don't think we have done this for now, to think about it. Let me take another sip of this. So this is our What's in That Can segment. This is What's in That Can.

Where Tommy usually provides a beverage, and I try to guess what's in the can. It's in our deadlift, Mastanomics deadlifter koozie. Boy, that is a tough, I mean, it's a sparkling water. I don't know the brand. I don't know if it's a LaCroix or a Bublé. I am struggling on the flavor on this

it's almost like on the it's quite literally is on the tip of my tongue i know as soon as i say you'll you'll obviously figure it out but i'm leaning towards like, I don't know, like mango. I'm leaning towards mango or papaya or I'm going to guess it's a LaCroix. And I don't even know if mango is a flavor of LaCroix, but that's my guess. I think mango is a flavor. This is not. Where this is tricky is it's technically two fruits, Tanner. Okay.

And those two fruits are peach pear. Peach. Yeah. So you were close. You were close. Yes. Now I can tell that it's peach. Yeah.

Yeah. This is also one of my favorites. This is good. It's quite high on the flavor scale. And it tastes good. This is a good one. This is a really good one. I only pick good ones, it tastes this is a good one this is a really good one only pick good ones tanner this is a good one and now we get to that part of what's in the can where we

have to give it our uh our jd power associates award yeah i'm gonna go i think i gave lime last week a four and a half did didn't i yeah i did too uh i'm gonna go four on this this is not best in class but it is very good it is pretty good Let me take another sip before I spit out my rating. Before you give your verdict. That's refreshing. I almost like it as good as the lime. I don't know. It's tough.

I gave the lime four and a half, too. I'm on the fence of four and four and a half J.D. Power and Associates Awards. I guess I like it pretty well. This is something I could, you know, drink really get behind. I'm going to give it four and a half. Okay. Wow. I like this.

I like this as good as the lime one. Okay. See, for me, if I'm talking the podium of LaCroix, you know, I don't know if we've ever actually done this, but for me, the podium it's lime is in first. Uh, and then second and third just bounces between peach pear and pamplemousse. I don't know if we've ever actually done this, but for me, the podium, it's lime is in first. And then second and third just bounces between peach pear and pamplemousse. That is how I roll. Those three right there.

I couldn't even tell you the last time I bought a flavor that wasn't one of those three. You almost can't not have pamplemousse. You've got to have that around. You've got to have the pamplemousse on you. The supple pamplemousse. That's how you let people know you're living a slightly higher lifestyle when you've got that pamplemousse on you the supple pomplemousse that's how you let people know you're uh you're uh living a slightly higher lifestyle when you got that pamplemousse on deck i definitely can't eat it now that i know that it's peach i can't pear is a much harder fruit to pick out the flavor of have you ever had a pear flavored beverage in your life no what pear flavor like only pear flavored

beverage i can think of is the syrup in the uh yeah exactly like i don't i don't think i've ever had a drink this is probably the first drink that i ever remember drinking that pear was actually listed as a primary flavor in it are pears good if they're not like in the softened uh sauce in the have you ever had just a whole pear before no i oh yeah i mean like It's been a long time. Like, eat it like an apple? That's actually, I don't, yeah, I honestly don't even really eat fruit, like, ever. But I like pears.

You eat it like an apple? Yeah, you can do that, yeah. I'm pretty sure it's been that long, but yeah. Yeah, I suppose I have before, but I, I mean, I like pears, though. Like, in the last 10 years, whole pears, whole raw pears if i've ate five i'd say that's probably more than pushing it yeah me too i could probably say that about a lot of fruits though we'll just i like fruit i do but i just never freaking we've always got fruit around i just never it never sounds that exciting to me bananas are like the only one i'll go back to

somewhat regularly and even then after like a two week stretch, I'm like done with these for bananas can be kind of disappointed, disappointing. Oh, there's such a, such a, they're a fickle fruit, such a just short window of goodness.

Yes. It's like, Oh, this one's going to be pretty good. I know we've even talked about it, but the bad ones are bad. They are. They're really bad.

Luckily they're extremely cheap though. So it, that does make up for it. Yeah. It's like, they're not potato cheap, but they're pretty damn cheap still. Are we going to talk about where we noticed massonomics in the world this week? Well, we probably should, but you might have to enlighten me.

I'm forgetting. Oh, just that one. Oh, well, actually, before we get to that, I did want to talk about one more thing one more thing okay you got something else we uh we both saw a movie oh yes i'm glad you i'm glad you uh we both saw that yeah that movie being joker yeah my my wife and i went to a movie together for we actually couldn't remember when we would have maybe gone to a movie together without kids i wanted to see the movie you You brought it up in Over Under last week. Yeah. And I did want to see it.

It's a fairly talked about comic book superhero movie. Yep. And it had a little different take, so I was ready to see it. And I would have completely forgot about it. But Sunday, while I'm watching the Vikings game, just flipping through my phone, I see Tanner has a snap at the movie theater and i thought ah i need to go so i messaged my wife immediately that was my reminder and she's like all right let's do it and so we went later that

day then so you went the day that i went yeah yeah oh nice was there very many people there when we got there i had to actually check to make sure that we were at the right time because there was no one there. Yeah, it was pretty empty when I... And then by the time the movie actually, actually started, not the previews, like the movie actually started, maybe five to ten people showed up. But yeah, that was it. So how do we want to do this? Do you want to say your take or my take or do we just both start talking at the same time?

Because there's a lot. both start talking at the same time because there's a lot there's it's it's a regardless of what your opinion is like there's quite a bit to talk like there's a lot of opinions to be had about this movie i think there are and i don't think we want to get too far into it and just ruin it right well right that's true that's um i mean right away i i enjoyed the movie a lot did you enjoy oh i i liked it a. My wife did not like it. She did. For her, she thought it was slow. Okay.

And in comparison to freaking Avengers. Well, or any action movie. Whatever. Yeah, it is. But that wasn't necessarily my expectation. It was part of telling the story. You have to get into his life to overall i liked it a lot like as far especially like in the genre if you're looking at the genre of superhero

films i thought it was really cool yeah it's it's funny that you say your wife didn't like it because mine didn't really care for it but it was for a different reason she cannot stand to see people be like bullied and harassed. And a lot of the movie, believe it or not, consists of people harassing this guy. That's the Joker. And yeah, like if you don't like that stuff, like you got to watch a lot of that. Yeah, that's what it is. That was like she had to like check out a few times.

She's like, I can't. It's like, it's a movie. I can't watch people. I know that feeling. I have not about that in movies, but about certain things in movies that I'm like, ew. For me, the worst I've ever had that in a movie was the movie Moonlight.

I don't know. It was, I think it won the Oscar like three, it was the year they messed up, was it three years ago, four years ago, when they messed up. They said like the wrong name for Best Picture. And I honestly don't even remember. Oh, it was the guy that hosts The Family Feud now,

wasn't it? But was that him or did he because he no, he messed up something for sure. But was it was I think he messed up Miss America or Miss Universe or whatever it was, whatever that was. I think that's what he messed up. I don't remember who met all this. I think some older like actor actress messed this one up. But Moonlight really quick on that. It's just about a it's about like this black kid that grows up like kind of in like what would you say like the ghetto

of florida i think that basically has no dad and like really really not ideal living conditions and then it follows him as a kid and then in middle school getting made fun of non-stop and bullied like crazy like my wife was like she couldn't and i'm like damn this is hard to like bully man this is bad stuff that's the worst one i've ever had so yeah if uh you guys haven't seen that movie i also recommend that one but uh anyways back to the joker yeah the joker but what what i think is you know most of these superhero movies or super villain or whatever you want to say like their story of how they became what they are it's like spider-man was bit by a spider yeah there's always the radioactive yeah the radio that's the radioactive bucket of waste

that they fall into like the planets aligned and this thing happened and and like that's i mean it is what it is that's what they're i mean it's not it's fiction and everything and you're into that that's okay but what i really thought was cool about the joker is that that's like oh this really is like a real life thing of how someone becomes could become uh that guy yeah i mean essentially really really real life stuff essentially what it was was a mentally ill man that couldn't get any help or support in life. He was abused as a child.

Yep. Basically did not have a home life of any kind. Didn't have a work life either. And was just this mentally ill man living in solitude. And believe it or not, people are social creatures and that will break things in their brain yeah that broke things in his and so yeah you just watch this guy kind of go into the spiral of craziness yeah and joaquin's joaquin phoenix

his performance was pretty awesome yeah i thought i would be shocked if he doesn't one get a nomination of like best actor for it and then like if i wouldn't be surprised at all if he won you know i i didn't realize how skinny he had gotten for it yeah like whoa he got really like weirdly skinny yeah yeah like there's a few scenes where he's like basically in his underwear walking around it's like damn dude you're skin and bones man which that would i can't imagine doing that for and like just you know as someone that likes to work out, like just being like, all right,

I got to lose 60 pounds or whatever it is. And then somehow try to come back to that. Like I got to get, I'll get back to this. It's going to be a few years, but I'll get back to this. Like, right.

Oh, like whatever, like mediocre level of fitness I have right now. Like, huh. It took so long to even get to here. And I guess you're telling me I got to start start over. Right. But when he's doing his laughing thing, yeah, it's like, It took so long to even get to here, and you're telling me I've got to start completely over? Yeah, right.

But when he's doing his laughing thing, it's like, that looks so uncomfortable. And he keeps doing it, and he's coughing and crying and laughing. It's wild. But overall, the movie has that really gritty feel. It's definitely trying to hit at something along the lines of mental health with with people and societies yeah and it does it does and it even you know brings up the whole question of

i mean and these are kind of just big general principles but you know like the wealthy elite and issues with cops and all types of stuff it it touches on those in smaller parts but really the the whole thing is a mentally ill man that yeah is the joker yeah it was pretty cool i liked it it was very entertaining i thought so too and he's he's just a dancing machine yeah just dancing a lot of it and just dancing a lot of kicking a lot of kicking around just oh i need to get on that dancing program i guess actually that was one of the comments my wife said at the end of it she's like i don't know that i really cared for all the uh like all that i can't remember what she called it but that's what she was referring to she's like all that stuff that

he was doing constantly that extra thing yeah yeah but uh it was very good i would probably give it at least four jd power and associates awards yeah i would give it at least four J.D. Power and Associates Awards. Yeah, I would give it four J.D. Power and Associates Awards in our traditional scale. Yep. And we don't review a lot of movies, so you guys are welcome for that one. Yes. It just so happens we both saw the same new movie on the same weekend. It just worked out. Yeah.

It doesn't work out like that very often, considering I typically never see a a new movie yeah so the the chances of us both seeing a new one it's probably done yeah that'll do me for a couple years okay well we'll touch on that segment again down down the road yeah an episode 290 yeah that's a good even number yeah um i was just oh speaking of jd power and associates and Associates Awards, Tanner. Oh. We were just crowned with, I think, at least five of them in the past week. And like we said, we don't necessarily do all this that we do for the awards. It's just a byproduct.

But it does feel good. It's a byproduct of... You know, when you're committed to excellence, things just fall into place. And in this case, it was J.D. Power and Associates trophies raining from the sky. And it is nice to just be noticed. We put in the hard work. What did we win? Won 2019 longest running, or most dependable.

Yeah, most dependable. Yeah, dependable is the key word. Yeah, the key word here. With all these, there is a key word that does matter. Best Instagram page. And if you guys are curious what is a keyword that does matter. Best Instagram page in initial quality. And if you guys are curious what awards we won, just hop on our Instagram page. You can see the slide where we... There's a pile of them.

Yeah, initial quality, most expensive equipment, or most expensive gear. It was all there. Best in class apparel. Best in class, yeah, best in class. One funny thing is, I don't know if it's because I'm aware of it or because I googled J.D. Powered Associates Awards, but I had an actual ad pop up in my Instagram story for a J.D. Powered Associates Award that who the hell won it? A company won one. I thought

a company besides a car company can win these things. One of the, it's funny you said that, one of the guys from the gym, Josh, that I have on Snapchat, he just sent me one today, an Instagram ad. Yeah, that's what I saw today. And he said, thanks, you guys. Now I'm getting these because of you. God, was it an insurance company or something financial? I can't remember what. His was Hertz, I think.

Oh, it was Hertz. Yes, yes. It was Hertz. Yes, that is what it was. I got that today, too. It has to have something to do with us talking about it all the time. Yeah, because I didn't even know anyone besides the car company could win. Hertz is a rental car company.

I mean, they kind of are in the same business a little bit, but it was funny and very weird at the same time. Well, I guess they give them to anyone these days. They don't mean what they used to. They really don't. They're watering down their achievement with those things. Yeah, that's just the way it goes. We should probably do some ads here, Tanner,

before we get too carried away with the rest of the show. One of my favorite segments, the advertisements. That's how we keep the lights on with the advertisements. It's called, I'm going to pay some bills. Here we go. I do got to clear my throat though, Tanner. I got to prepare for this. It was all that peach pear that got stuck down there. It was. There's a whole peach pear.

There's actually bits of peach pear in this liquor. That's how much flavor there is. The naked juice. There's over 30 peach peach pear in this LaCroix. That's how much flavor there is. The naked juice. There's over 30 peach pears in this can. There's over a third of a peach pear in this can of LaCroix. That's maybe being generous. Today's show is brought to you by Lifting Large.

They do, maybe I mentioned it before, but they do have some stuff really affordable stuff on there especially with the free shipping like their texas power bars texas deadlift bars yeah that stuff i'm really i bought eyeballing uh their texas deadlift bar because the

price they have it and with the free shipping it's like it's cheaper than what a lot of other sites have it if they're on sale. And then the Texas Trinity is complete. Yes, exactly. That is the most important piece, probably. That's true. The trifecta. Yes, we have a few power bars and a squat bar already, but we have the deadlift bar. We have an Okie Oklahoma deadlift bar.

Which at this point is kind of like almost turning into old news in the deadlift bar world. That's true. They don't have all that marketing hype behind them like the rest of these companies. That's right. Today, the MathSomics podcast is also brought to you by Spud Inc. and the Magic Carpet Sled. The Spud Inc. Magic Carpet Sled is a heavy-duty weight sled designed for maximum versatility and portability. At less than four pounds, it's considerably lighter than a traditional metal dragging sled, but gives up nothing in weight capacity. It's able to take on more than 600 pounds in steel plates. Use the Magic Carpet Sled on grass, astroturf, carpet, or in any gym or

training space with rubber or tile flooring. If it's a non-abrasive surface, you're good to go. When your weighted sled training is complete, simply rope the Magic Carpet Sled and drop it back in your gym bag. For athletes at any level, this is a convenient, effective way to build the posterior chain and metabolic conditioning with one movement. Fun fact, the Magic Carpet Sled is also part of the Army PT Test.

Oh, which we've covered before. One thing to note, the Magic Carpet Sled should not be used on concrete, asphalt, or any rough textured surface. Speed sled training on such surfaces can cause irreparable damage to the sled. Yeah, it would chew it up. But otherwise, anywhere else, you are good to go, man. Yeah, in the Army PT, a lot of times they would probably be doing it on grass outside if it's the right time of year.

So I suppose it works really good for that. We actually made the comment when we went over the new Army PT test that we need to be making something that they can trap bars because then you get that government contract. That sweet, sweet government contract. And Spud Inc. God, we need to talk to those guys. Wow, okay. Smart businessmen and women over there.

There they go. Check out Spud Inc. online for the Magic Carpet Sled and other great products at spud-ink-straps.com and be sure to follow them on instagram at spud ink straps i do think the big thing on that the magic carpet sled though is just how portable and light that is like sure would literally weigh nothing in comparison to these other sleds the fact that sleds are not cheap no no not at all yeah essentially just trying to push a heavy object around yeah And you've got to pay hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars to get a metal hunk that

can hold a plate. So yeah, this is a great alternative. For sure. Especially if you live in an area where you are inside a gym for six months of the year like us. Yep. It's a great thing to add in. And this episode is also brought to you by Hybrid Performance Method. If you've been training without a

I know we do have some listeners out there because I know we have some followers on Instagram at least that have currently used hybrid performance for coaching. If we could get any testimonials

for any, from anyone, if anyone out there is using it and it wants to be talked about on the podcast, shoot us a message or an email, either an Instagram message or an email, I get big at mass economics and we, uh, could feature you if you feature your story. Yeah. Tell us about what you, what you've done with them and your experience. But I know Tom Callis competed this weekend here, actually. So I put up like he kind of went into a USPA meet for the first time is what it looked like. He's doing a walked-out squat. Did you see he squatted 777 in shorter wraps too, I guess.

Yeah, I didn't know that was a – I guess in some of them you can use a three meter i know there's different lengths but i didn't think it was like that comedy between though i thought it was like really odd feds that no one's heard of allow these longer right right yeah i didn't realize it was like that but it looked like he did really well even under the stricter conditions yeah yeah so it must have been his hybrid performance coaching got to be the coaching i assume it was for show yep uh one other thing too tanner that we've done with ads um there was a listener out there that said since they skipped the ads yeah since they skipped the ads yeah they had to buy some gear so thank you for that yeah that's pretty cool uh but

that is you know you can support us by a supporting the people that support us would be these three sponsors that we've had on the show for several episodes now. So by supporting those three and also by directly supporting us through massanomics.com. It's an excellent way. Because we're all about that money. Yeah. Those of us, those of you that follow us know that that is actually correct it's why we do it so it makes the mess it's not about the people or uh not about these relationships or it's the money fun it's just the money we don't care about we don't care about the

lifting we don't care about any of it if that was true this would have been such a disappointing process for the last several years. Our sites would have been set maybe a little too low. But, yep, that is not the case. Right. So we will continue on like we know nothing else. Yep. Tanner, we should talk about, though, a certain article that poked its head back up.

Yeah, our article was the... What was the name of that article? It's a few years old, even, at that point. Was it, What If These NFL Players Power Lifted? That was one of our relatively early articles. Yes, yes. And it became a pretty popular one it did yeah at the time yeah and even even now i mean it still gets quite a bit of traffic it still does get a decent

amount of traffic and it breaks pretty high in those if you type in nfl powerlifting i think it's probably number one i mean it's those keywords put it very high in the list yes and uh you how did you come across this thing it was a guy that used to lift at the gym grayson messaged me on sent me a screenshot on snapchat and said oh listen to just randomly watching this youtube video and they mentioned massonomics awesome and he's like and i was like oh what is it and he sent me the link to it and i clicked on and i was like huh and it did you see how many views it had like over a million views yeah i had like 1.4 million views or something like that i've never heard of the channel i don't even remember uh actually i do not remember the channel either actually

kto yeah no idea what that channel is yeah what was the name of their what's the name of their video who's the strongest player in nfl history okay. But what they did and what did they do in their video? So the video is eight minutes long. You just said to go to the four-minute mark. I didn't watch the first four minutes, so I have no idea. I didn't actually ever watch the first four minutes. I'm assuming they're just talking about some random stuff. And then they go, but what if these NFL players power lifted?

Well, fortunately, the website Massonomics answered this question for us. They pronounced it right. Yeah, they did. And then they went through every NFL player that we featured. And we've actually done that on a podcast probably three years ago when it first came out. I mean, basically, we made that entire video.

He probably didn't listen to the podcast. No. The funniest part, though, I didn't know if I was the only one thinking this, but you said the same thing, is that when he starts announcing the players' names, he just screenshotted our stats for the player and just put that screenshot right on the video. Didn't even bother to retype it or anything. No, no.

So it was like, hey, man, I'm glad we could do that research for you yep so i still i don't care sure no it's any they did to give us credit they did so that's cool it would have been cooler if they would have linked us in the art in the yes because i thought had they clicked on anyone clicked an article at that point they oh this is the exact thing that i just watched probably what it would have been yeah so they they went through the whole list and maybe maybe really quickly maybe we should just should we just touch on the list really quick we could yeah we could touch all over that list touch all up on that list all right let's get the old computer machine over here i'll uh i'm gonna pull up our blog one too because i didn't actually look at it you know player by player but i do think that

they they copied every single one that we had done if i remember right okay what if these nfl players power lifted by massonomics october 4th. So just over three years ago. Okay. And first on the list, we had J.J. Watt. And these were all, some of these, like you were going out, because Tanner, you wrote this article. Yeah. Some of these you were going off of. Yeah, I had to just like.

Some of the guys actually did compete in a powerlifting meet. Not many, but a few of them did. But you were going more off of their height, weight, what they had done with. The reported numbers actual recorded numbers um some of them had instagram posts that okay it wasn't to a competition standard but these guys are world class athletes so there's no doubt about it if they wanted to do it to a competition standard they could get there right relatively little time but so we were taking some we were guesstimating it was a guesstimate but best on the best information but they were by no means outrageous guests no no no

they were reasonable i think they were all reasonable some of them probably even conservative yeah uh i just have a hard time believing that if jj want wanted to make a lot of uh power lifters look dumb that he would have that he would have any troubles making that happen you know yeah i think he'd show up if he said screw the NFL, I'm starting a crazy drug cycle and I'm going to break every record, I'd say, yeah, you could probably do a lot of that if you wanted to. Yeah, I see. They did leave about, we had a list of about 10,

and in the video they left out a few. Yeah, like Eli Manning was on our list. Because it wasn't like this is the list of the strongest guys in the NFL. We were just saying, what if they did? Yeah, and that was like a funny one is like Eli Manning was on our list. Because it wasn't like this is the list of the strongest guys in the NFL. We were just saying, what if they did? Yeah, and that was like a funny one is like Eli Manning. I do remember, though, because we brought up Eli Manning. And I think in the original one, a lot of people, you mentioned that Eli Manning had been recorded having a 315-pound bench.

Well, I put his as 300. Oh, 300. And a lot of people were so butthurt. There's no way eli manning could do that it's like dude he's six four and 220 pounds right he's not a little guy also 300 isn't this like he's he's been you might think that quarterbacks maybe do nothing maybe they really do nothing but he's been around a weight room for probably 20 years yeah it's not that unfathomable to think that he can

bench 300 pounds like right a lot of people bench 300 pounds and his wonderlick score was a 25 most importantly yeah but they did they did rip off all the good ones that we had on here yeah they did exclude adrian peterson i'm surprised oh no they know did they and they excluded tim tebow i suppose he's not in that anymore so they obviously you gotta keep vernon davis in there though yeah steven paella uh uh steve weatherford they included yep they took out connor mcgovern i'm not sure if he's in the nfl anymore but they did leave andrew billings i know and jj watt of course and then that yeah that was it Steve cuz Steven paella he was the one that did 49 in the 225 all reps yeah so they did include

him in there and James Harrison they included to that you know I gotta give these guys credit that was the cool thing about their video is that they actually linked to while the guys talking doing his voiceover they actually link to actual clips of oh yeah a lot of these feats but the last one and i'm i am by no means like an nfl die hard pay attention to much in there at all i just honestly don't even care about a lot of it but who's this last guy tanner larry allen. Larry Allen. Offensive lineman for the Dallas Cowboys. And I do remember seeing, okay, so he is on record. I'm using that a little loosely, but having a 700-pound bench press.

Except I would contest. They said, like, oh, but they forgot them. And I was like, no, we didn't have a list of the strongest guys in the NFL of all time. We were just purely putting together a what-if list. um but so uh okay i already forgot his name again larry allen larry alley yeah uh a freak so they have him down here as this video says 700 pound bench press an official squad of 905 pounds and 10 reps 10 reps at 520 on the incline bench. Yeah. And I think the stories of Larry Allen have not been exaggerated either.

I think everyone agrees that he was a 700-pound bencher, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, and it claims here that he was, I don't know how this is even possible. That is not right. He is not 11% body fat. Yeah, this claims he was 325 with 11% body fat. No. No. No. possible he is not 11 yeah this claims he was 325 with 11 body fat no no no that that that is definitely like one i think he's i seriously think he's bigger than 325 and also there's no way he has 11 well he doesn't you can tell by looking at him he's not 11 this is not possible but he's a big dude yeah and what the video goes on they show this and i remember seeing the 700 pound

bench press attempt. And this is the one that people love to shit on. It's like, oh, the spotter lifted 200 pounds. Well, I don't think that's the case. Yeah, it wasn't done in powerlifting spec, but he's not a powerlifter. He was in NFL. Right. He was in the NFL.

I mean, he's one of the best offensive linemen of all time, too. Like, I think widely considered one of the greats. Yeah, and I don't even know what game this is here. But they're playing the Saints, it looks like. Yeah. And I don't even know what era this is. Is this like Troy Aikman era? Like, I don't even know.

Yeah, I think he probably played with Troy Aikman and probably a little after maybe, too. But yeah, right around there. Yeah, but the amazing thing about this video, he probably played with Troy Aikman and probably a little after maybe two even but yeah right yeah but the amazing thing about this video and you guys you could probably probably type it in on YouTube some combination of words yeah probably Larry Allen runs down if you just type that probably Larry Allen run yeah probably comes up and so he's on the offensive line the quarterback whoever it is throws the ball it gets tipped by defensive lineman it's an interception i believe it looks like the linebacker one of the linebackers for the saints gets it he takes off for the sideline and is running down the sideline now

at this point he's gone he has a full head of steam and he's got not easy 15 20 yards yeah he's definitely up to full speed in every case this should be this should be gone it looks like he's gonna run for a touchdown but there is this cannonball coming out of the bottom of the screen and that is larry allen and yeah he gets an angle on him and he he takes him in. And he is striding out. Yeah. Like you've never seen a guy that big. I had to watch this because I'd never seen this. I had to rewatch this 30-second clip like eight times

because I've never seen a big guy run that fast. He gets the angle on him, runs him down, dives, tackles him, saves the touchdown yeah and i was shocked that that guy could move like that it was it's really like a freak freak freakish play like you can see how much why isn't he just the fullback like that's what you want to think seeing that you know and then yeah I don't know. It is crazy. It just, it doesn't seem like linemen today. And this, from this view, you see how he's like standing still. Yeah, he's in a standstill.

Facing the other direction. And then literally like, just like someone shot him out of the cannon. And the guy, besides, besides being like probably 25 yards away from him. Yeah. Having a full head of steam running the other way. He catches up. It just. Yeah.

Larry is standing flat feet facing the other direction and just turns around on a dime and is on them like nothing. It's crazy. Yeah. Do you need to watch that for sure? Yeah. And it's funny because all the comments on the video are basically, you know,

it's an eight minute long video. Every comment is about that last clip. Yeah. It's like when you put 99 speed and 99 strength on your player in Madden. Larry Allen, why is this even a question? Damn, crazy to see 463 pounds floating through the air. Yeah. Yeah.

It's really cool. So everyone definitely needs to go track that video down and watch that. Yes. Tanner, we are starting to get down there on time, believe it or not. Do we need to jump into overrated, underrated? We probably do because we're at almost 50 minutes already. Okay, we've got good for next week then as a teaser. We've got good Name That Lifter.

I heard good feedback from a couple people this week. really like the name new name that lifter segment okay and then we also have uh who weighs more that we'll be able to return to the podcast we have both of those but we better not bring anything to talk about next week no we're just gotta get through those segments 40 minutes going through those with overrated or underrated we like to review uh last week we put that out on the instagram story you remember topic one from last week was october you said underrated, we like to review last week. We put that out on the Instagram story. You remember topic one from last week was October. You said underrated. The people also said underrated, 60%. Okay.

When I voted, that's where I was at. I was a little surprised. I feel like people like to hate on fall. Yeah. But maybe they just went with the same logic you said. They like fall, yes, but October. Okay. October's all right.

iOS 13, the people said 75% overrated. But I suppose everyone that doesn't have an iPhone immediately says overrated. Yeah, you do got a point there. So that's half the people have an iPhone. And at least half of people with phones hate whenever their phone updates. So that's 75%. It's right there. Pistachios, you said underrated?

66% underrated by the people. As it should be. It's right there. Pistachios, you said underrated? 66% underrated by the people. As it should be. Pretty good number there. Joker movie, as long as we're talking about it. Last week, you think you said underrated? I believe I said underrated, yeah. And what do you say now? You've seen it.

I'll still say underrated. Well, yeah, I still think I say underrated. I think it is getting hyped up quite a bit. I still haven't seen people going crazy about it saying it's the best movie. but i've also seen negative stuff people like that say they don't like it that much too so i'm still standing by my underrated on that the people said 61 underrated did they yeah and a lot of times on movies that goes over towards the overrated could be polarized yeah so that was last week's overrated underrated segment and the way that the people voted for

those but probably more importantly we have this week's overrated or underrated most importantly most importantly uh just want to make sure everyone knows that i asked these questions to tommy and tommy of course has his druthers when it comes to the length of the answers and you know about the druthers i i am familiar with druthers okay i know a thing or two about you have your druthers on how you answer the length of your answer because the light the questions are lightning round but the answers don't actually have to be lightning round it's just the questions that come at you fast so are you ready for topic number one of this week's over let's get it started

all right great topic number one overrated or underrated the whopper i'm trying to think of the last time i had a whopper even and i'm not talking about the candy whoppers oh okay good not good clarification i was on the same page as you though i believe uh my brother and i were just talking about this that out of all the fast food places Burger King does smell really good on the outside those flame broiled burgers just put off a real

smell that just like kind of gets you ready to eat some meat but I honestly okay so Whopper does the Whopper have an extra patty in it or is that just the Big Mac not extra patty extra bun in the Whopper have an extra patty in it, or is that just the Big Mac? Not an extra patty, the extra bun in the middle.

I don't think the Whopper has that. Is it just two patties with the cheese? Is the Whopper two patties? I think it's two patties, I'm pretty sure. Okay, so it's like a double quarter pounder. You're talking about just kind of like a really, really middle-of-the-line fast food burger. I think it's overrated. I can't recall the last time I had one either.

I honestly cannot. I just think it's interesting that it has its own name. It has such a specific name for that. McDonald's has the Big Mac. You've got to have your flagship burger. You've got to have the Whopper. Overrated or underrated daylight savings time? You talked about it a little bit last week. Daylight savings time is overrated or underrated daylight savings time? You talked about it a little bit last week.

Daylight savings time is overrated. Humans playing games with how the way the sun works and how the way time moves. Let's just keep it all the same. Let's just keep it on the same thing. Let's not decide ourselves. We don't need to switch the whole world over

and do that whole thing. We can just keep time the way time keeps. I think that's fine. So yeah, daylight savings, overrated. Overrated. Overrated or underrated, raking the leaves. Tanner, you are giving me some ones that I'm very decisive on. Raking leaves is so overrated.

I did move this year. We are in a new podcast studio here yes my old house had a massive tree outside of it massive tree and that thing would hang on to leaves until late like like it wasn't mine it wasn't it wasn't dropping them anytime soon it was like dropping them like into the winter time which either means it's way too cold to be raking or there's a ton of snow on the ground yeah you might think well what does it matter well if you don't have to remove snow you don't know that once you start and once the the drifts come in and the snow starts blowing and the leaves start

blowing in there too and now you're shoveling snow with leaves in it it sucks it's not fun it sucks and yeah raking leaves it's, it's not fun to do. The last few years, I would just, if it would drop soon enough, I would try to hit them one last time with the mower and just chop them up with the idea that hopefully they'll just blow away in their little leaf dust into wherever leaf dust goes. But I would never do the bagging thing or any of that. I would just hopefully maybe have a good day of and i i do think that the leaves being chopped up is beneficial for it is supposed to be good for the soil

and the grass and everything yes it should be kind of a natural compost yes yeah yes but how raking raking is the worst raking so overrated i agree it sucks balls since i don't know who would say raking is underrated raking is only something you have to do because your neighbors kids like it because you can put the leaves in the i still remember being young be like oh we're gonna break these leaves into a pile and jump it out and then yeah two seconds later you realize it's not fun but you end up doing it because your neighbors do it and then you're like well i guess they did it yeah no yes i have to i'm looking forward to having almost no raking this year

because there's little trees around my house. Overrated or underrated? Last topic for the day. Overrated or underrated? Sets of 10. Lifting sets of 10. Well, this is one of those where I hate to ever say that anyone's fitness program is wrong or incorrect.

Yeah, right. Because it's all about what you want to do right yeah yeah this is a very open end for me personally i don't enjoy doing sets of 10 i don't like maybe maybe like accessory type work you know especially like right like an arm day yeah you don't really get that pump going on i feel like a lot of times i was thinking more for the because I think most people would agree with that pretty yeah I mean you can get a pretty awesome pump going once you start to hit that 10th rep yeah oh yeah right but uh I I just I personally don't like sets of 10 um when I did them in the past I went through a little block of doing them and I felt like for me that it didn't make me stronger just to get me got me better at doing sets of 10 that's why like I know for a fact I got better doing sets of 10 I could the first first few weeks I was doing them I was dying without a doubt my muscles hadn't trained for that ever you know and so I was dying but it's the same thing as if all

you ran was 100 meter dashes if all i did for training was 100 meter dashes well the first time i go run something 10 times like first next time i go run a mile i'm gonna be dead after a mile because i haven't trained for that at all right um but then you know a few weeks in you get used to it pretty quick and i just feel like it didn't make me stronger like i went through like a 10 a 10 week block which i don't think is a small amount of time right no that's a block you know it's enough to try something and yeah i can say without a doubt i did get better at doing 10 sets i don't know if i got better at actually getting

stronger my other problem was is and this this was me in my experience with it is that the technique that I used for doing 10 reps was very, very different than the technique I use for five and especially three and singles. Yeah. It's a very different technique because you can't go full tightness like you do on a single for 10 reps. You can't do it.

You will. Well, it's brutal. If you are actually tightening up like as hard as possible just pass out like it's you're not getting any air yeah i agree it is a different way of doing this so i noticed that all of a sudden like my squats were much more loosey-goosey because i wasn't i was starting to do this fluid squat thing where i was yeah i wasn't yeah i wasn't like getting at the top locking in getting set, so focused on this one rep.

No, I was like, I need to bang these 10 out. Right, because I got 10 to do here. Yeah, one, I got 10, and then before my brain says, oh, you're really tired. I'm just going to try and get through these. So my technique was actually changing, and it wasn't in a way that I felt was helpful for me as a power lifter, which is to lift a single.

And I think my brother for me as a power lifter, which is to lift a single. And I think my brother likes to do it a lot. Your brother makes good progress off of doing those for pretty long blocks. He really likes to do it. Yeah, he's done them for long blocks for a few years now. And maybe that's just the thing. You just have to do it for a long, long time. But I just don't enjoy doing them. Plus plus you're at the gym for so long you know that's the other one

especially on hard sets attending if you're doing three four or five sets that is a brutal workout like that i don't want to be at the gym for two hours and um i i don't know if for me that is the bang for your buck for me the bang for your buck training regimen. So I got to say I think sets of 10 are overrated for the main list. I think everyone, whether you like to use them in training or not, could agree that the feeling of doing hard sets of 10 really sucks on a squatter. And I'm talking about a squatter. I remember the first like

it took like my body like two weeks to get used to it and it was i was sore like my i was a little sore from benching and a little sore from dead lifting but squat it was like my legs it was a soreness my legs hadn't had it just so like it took me back to like the first time like ever starting to do squats again and after like two two weeks, I got used to it. I'm thinking like, OK, I get it. I'm crazy sore from doing what? Ten sets of ten at 275 or whatever. Yeah.

I don't know. Does that translate over to helping my going for a single of 550 pounds or whatever that last thing I did was like the last contest I did. Right. My top single is 540. Like, I don't think that that helped me prep for was like the last contest I did. My top single was 540. I don't think that that helped me prep for that part of it for me personally. It was not there. I didn't like it.

If you're looking for a way to do conditioning when you're lifting, that's a way to do it. It's brutal. But so that is our little bit of lifting sprinkled in with overrated everyone so every every so often we sprinkle a little lifting in there yes that was our lifting topic for the month on overrated underrated now we got that one oh yeah now we can get back to the important stuff like whopper sandwiches we're slowly addressing all the various sandwiches from the popular we've had many of those on the Overrated and Underrated before.

Yeah, I've had a few, yeah. Popeye's chicken sandwich. We've had... And all of them have one thing in common. I've either never had it or haven't had it in a very long time. Yeah. So that wraps up Overrated and Underrated. And this is usually the part of the show when we talk about all the stuff that we sell.

Yeah. underrated and this is usually the part of the show when we talk about all the stuff that we sell yeah so our newest two things still are the bench and 315 shirt and the crispy boy shirt neither of us are wearing either this week but i wore them earlier in the week haven't done laundry yet but so you have worn both yeah i have i have worn both did you feel pretty cool i'm a big fan of both starting to see more people wearing them out out in the wild uh the wild of instagram oh jonathan was rocking hisy Boy shirt with the jorts, which, I mean, that's... That's right. Name a better duo, oh, wait. That's right.

And he squatted... And squatted what? Seven... Seventy? Yeah, it was seven, seventy, seven, seventy-eight, seven-eighty, yeah. For a triple? Yeah. Yeah.

Is that the reason for it? Probably, yeah. Yeah. Are jorts are single ply though right or not um it depends on how much stretches in them i think that's true how much elastics in the waistband yeah yeah it's definitely about that waistband but uh he's on to something over there so yeah i think he has a meet coming up in what maybe a month is it or maybe more than a month maybe eight weeks yeah four five more than a month. It might be eight weeks. Yeah, four, five, six, seven, eight weeks, something like that. I believe before the end of the year, though.

Yes, it is for sure. I think it's probably in November, maybe sometime at the end of November. So we'll keep our eyes peeled for him. We'll keep an eye on that. It looks like he probably wants to squat a whole bunch of weight, I would assume. If he's doing like 785 for a set of three.

I'm assuming he's not planning on squatting 750. He's probably planning on squatting in great excess of 800 pounds. I would think so. So we will keep our eyes peeled for that. But you can buy those shirts and all of our other shirts. Just about everything is stocked right now. It's like a never-ending battle at this point of keeping things stocked.
