Then the conversation shifts into training—breaking down whether music actually helps you lift more, why most people overcomplicate their workouts, and how to train smarter when life gets busy.The guys also react to Stagecoach, call out what feels fake in modern country music, and debate what actually makes someone “real” in that world.Military humor, lifting philosophy, and unfiltered takes—all in one episode.

Back to episode 107, 0107 for you 1,000-pound, 1,000 episode types. I think it'll make you a 1,07 for you guys, 107 for the rest of the world. It believes that all good things come to the end. Maybe you're a dispensationalist. You believe the raptures around the corner. So even if we would get to 1,000, we might just not have the opportunity. But we are recording live from South California. South California, that's where I am.

Costa Mesa to be specific. I'm joined in. in studio with Mr. Trey Gottlitch from Lumberton, Texas. I'm going to guess Lumberton's real. Lumberton, potentially. Yeah, it's got to be a real, got to be a real place. I don't know if you have a fact check that real quick, Jeff. Nah, just leave it. All right, let it ride.

So from Lumberton, Texas, Trey Gottlitz, the third father of three. That's why his parents named him Trace, so they need he'd have three daughters under the age of one at one time in his life. A couple are old. They're all over the age of one now, but they're all under two. Three under two. If you follow them on Instagram, every hashtag is three under two. That could be you. And if you need... Lumberton. It's real.

It's real. Oh, I thought we weren't fact-checking it, Trey. I got curious. I got curious. Also joining us in studio is Mr. Jeff Bucci. Currently not in drilling status. You're lucky we're recording on a Wednesday because just any day now, we wouldn't be able to say whatever we want. But today we can say whatever one.

Not in the Drilly Statist from the Greater Salt Lake City area, home of the Utah Mammoths, not to be confused with the Utah Hockey Club, formerly known as, kind of like how X is formerly known as Twitter. But from Utah, Mr. Jeff Bougier, glad to have him. The price of Bitcoin is $75,736. And $81.

Today's date is April the 29th in the year of our Lord, 2026 Bitcoin. Excuse me. Oh, no. Bitcoin. Yeah, you're going to get a lot of that. It's very emotional about. Jeff Biggie has stopped recording.

Everyone else is still recording. Ask Jeff Biggie to refresh. See if old Mr. Bouge is back. I can hear you. I can hear you and the people that heard knock these walls down. We'll hear from all of us soon. I've been waiting for that reference to catch on. That's one of my favorite, one of my favorite quotes.

today's date April 29th year of our Lord 2026 we have a lot of exciting things talk about on the show today we are live on X just as we are every weekend set 2 set 2 means every episode post 100 we started warm it up for set 2 at episode 97 bingo sorry which means that this is episode 10 in a row where we've been live on X so if you're one of those guys on Thursdays is like man wish I could just listen to the okay podcast right now instead of doing whatever the hell I'm doing. Brother, it's on X. And guess what? If you don't even,

if you're not even watching it live, you can just watch it between Tuesday and Friday. But we might throw you a curveball like we did this week and record on a Wednesday night. Gotcha. You know, got them. Let's see. With that,

I have the Wuhan flu. Oh, no. You're going to get a lot of coughs tonight, but with that, I'll turn it over to the three. Hey, good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Let's get this started here. All right, S-1, let's kick it over to you to get things started. Well, before we do that, a couple ground rules here for the brief sidebars, okay? Those are going to be kept to a minimum.

Trash five. We got you as our sidebar police or sidebar referee. Hey. I got you, brother. The amount of sidebars that are allowed are up to trash five's discretion. And so he deems your sidebar to be extraneous or superfluous, as they say, a $10 word right there. He's going to shut you down, all right? He holds the hammer on all sidebars.

Okay. With that said, no other ground rules. Save all questions till the end, I guess. And let's take it over to the one. What do we got? Yes, sir. This adge checked in off leave, trying to get back in the swing of things here.

Got the latest report card. I forgot the scale. Is it one to five? Correct. Is that what it is? A to F. Yes, sir. Yeah, we got straight A's.

I thought the scale changed. Yeah, we got straight A's. We're golden on that. And I believe Mr. Bouget is not recording again. It's trash five had a couple of sidebars because three was having some tech issues. I've allowed those sidebars to go on. But at this point, we're going to keep them to a minimum. Okay, sidebars are secured.

Okay. Yeah, three. Back over to you, brother. Hey, brother. I appreciate you. I get the tech problems. I've been there, brother, as major to major. Iron, brother.

Oh, four, four, brother. Brother. I was there in 2012. You feel me? Oh, I feel you, brother. Hey, all right. Ladies, gentlemen. Well, ladies gentlemen, okay, that trash five does lieutenant colonel select.

Okay, so like, that is just like, that is, that is the future leader of the Marine Corps, right? You got to be sometimes on the level with each other, have each other's backs. We got each other's sixes. It says my. Oh, no. He's gone. He's gone. Well, I feel like we could finish up a straffy.

Why don't you, let's shoot him a message real quick. I'll just say, uh, big, dog. Jeff Biggie. We're going to finish up the staff brief. You figure your ish out and join when able, brother. No stress iron major. I guess I'm the three now. What would Jeff say?

He would say, oh, good afternoon, gentlemen, ladies, commanders, staff. Yeah, we're looking at Phop's, FutureOps. A lot of things coming down the pipe, nothing that needs to be briefed in the far ops, future, far future up post 90. Current ops, we need you to fill out your manning documents. That would be cops. And with that, I'll turn it over to the four. Real quick, sir, this is the deuce.

Oh, we skip me real quick. One quick thing to add from the upcoming Battalion exercise, I have secured Amazon as an opt for. They're going to be bringing out the trash with their cardboard boxes. We should be good there, sir. That's all I have. Two, this is this trash six. They're going to be using any of those trash drones.

Yes, sir. I've requested them. I sent up the chain. We'll see what they come back with. Still in here. Thank you, sir. about innovative adapt to overcome right there okay bring amazon and biggest Jeff Bezos hottest wife biggest company bring them in picking up cardboard that's a big win for trash

battalion uh yeah she's not hot it's not one of the man you know what i mean all right yes sir yeah yes sir oh yeah we all know yes sir yeah absolutely yeah she's hot yeah yeah yeah not hot yeah right uh okay uh trash three here over to the four Yes, sir. As far as the foregoes, the dumpsters still offline. We have, again, those recycle from recycled battalion. We have secured those green dumpsters. Renewable. Renewable battalion. Excuse, renewable battalion, yes, sir.

Renewable, I know your buddy's with Renewable 6. Thank you. Hey, him and I went to TBS together, right? I mean, you got to help brother out, all right? Yeah. Outside of that, sir, that's about all I have for the group. I expect working parties down here tomorrow morning zero six. Thank you.

Hey, this trash 5, 4. If you need anything from the company exos in terms of phase mode prep, I want to make some red ass in these maintenance meetings. So you just let me know, get those exos in my office. We're going to do maintenance meeting once a week. We're going to put a NPR in front of them. Don't ask me what an NPR stands for. We're going to put it in front of every one of them.

And we're going to ask them a bunch of questions that they don't know the answer to. Quite frankly, I don't either. And it's going to be really uncomfortable. And that's how we're going to get maintenance accomplished. Yeah, no, absolutely. I think what my goal is, is since Fasmo's coming down here in a couple of years, by the time they come back to the battalion and our battery commanders at the battalion, Fasmo should be here by that time.

And then they will be ready for it. So I like, yeah. Yeah, I think we're on the same page four. That's why you're an 08 major filling the billet. And that's why I'm an 08 major as the five. And I make the red ass now. And then you get the captains. And they're like pink by then.

And then, you know, we're good. Aye. Aye. Yeah, brother. Oh, I got to be the three again. Let's see here. We have anything from medical, dental? Yes, sir.

This is the doctor and the medical. to the unit. I'm on the Navy. I'm not sure how these people really work over here. We have a rodeo coming up and we're going to give a belt buckle away. Hey, Trash, real quick. Oh, yes, sir. Is this a dental or a blood draw rodeo? We're taking all the blood. All right. So it's blood rodeo.

Yeah, yes, sir. Yeah. No, if you have blood, we're going to take it. Yeah. Hey, gee, come by, see me later. All right. Talk about blood. Oh, yes, sir. Yeah, Roger that. Wait, I thought Chief was a female. What happened? Oh, that was the...

Keep on sidebar to minimum. No, the female's the M.O. Oh, well, yeah, yeah, I didn't mean Chief. I mean, send to M.O. Come over to the office. Yes, sir, absolutely. I will... I'll come over when my schedule's available, sir. Oh, my goodness.

Let's see. Should we kick it outlying stations? Or do you want to pretend to be the S6? No. S6 on a Comex. Yeah. If I didn't have the Mujan virus, I'd be the six. Let's see what we got for outlying stations. Chaplain checking in. I wanted to give a quick update about my upcoming paternity leave. I'll be off for four months during this time.

In my absence, trash six is requested that the trash battalion read all of Romans daily. As far as previously, Bibles are available basically anywhere. This is true. Please message me on teams if you have any questions. Additionally, this is, the show goes on right here. In my absence, I want to remind you all that our strength truly comes from the Lord. It is my strength and my shield, in him, my heart trust, and I am helped. My heart exalts.

And with my song, I give thanks to him. Psalms 287. Even with all the five by fives in the world, our strength comes from the Lord. We can trust the Lord to give us strength. We need all the thing, for all things. Even including securing the trash. Nothing else for the group over.

Great job, chap. Sorry, I broke. Man, it's going to be rough night. That's the devil. Yeah, it's the devil right there. Scott de Bois, the boy. He didn't tell us. He didn't reply.

Checking in for the most. up-to-date statused on the straight, open or closed. Let's kick this brief up back over to the two real quick. Hey, hey, listen, sometimes these outlying stations, these reservists, they think a little differently that we do. We sit in this room every week, and they're actually thinking about we're focused on the trash. They want to know about the straight.

All right. And that's what I like about reservists is that they go back and they got this innovative mind because they're normal people and they're not completely indoctrinated. So, Deuce, could you answer, Scott? Is it straight open or closed? Yes, sir. Last I heard, they had Chick-fil-A hours. So I believe they're open Monday through Saturday during the day.

It's closing the evenings and on Sundays. That's all that for the group, sir. No, that's an improvement. It was stock market hours. Now it's Chick-fil-A-hours. Chick-flay hours, yes, sir. Trying to get to Waffle House hours, but hey, you might have to send them in the Marines. for that. All right, that's Scott Dubois. Let's see. BW. Tax sent 5,000 memes. Let's see.

Massonomics, heavy thoughts, maybe the real police calls were the friends who made along the way. I think that's an old one that just randomly popped up right here. That's worth reading. That's about it. We did have some comments on Tray's lifting updates. five comments. Trey's squad and 315. Good reps, but let's focus on keeping them knees shoved out on the ascent. Yeah, Trey. Why don't you focus on shoving your knees out?

Hey, good tips. That was from Newt Meyer. Joshua Hansen underscore Lyft. Imagine be able to casually rep three by five at 315 with three babies. It's a good comment. I'm going to like that. Good dude. Mike

Excella Kelly Mike Exce Kelly Trays 15 is good in all 315 Trest 15 is good and all But the people want to know What is Max leg extension is

And that's paying homage To the Massonomics brothers these days Talking about a lot What is your max leg extension? I don't know The last time I did that I think I was in college Dude I mean

I think we talked about last week I can't remember the last I can't even picture myself on a leg extension machine. And that sounds like a very starting strength coach-ish thing to say, but that's not why I'm saying it. I just, I think in the entirety of my lifting career, which I did,

like I would say bodybuilding-esque in college at first. Like I followed the Arnold's bodybuilding book with my buddy Wade Coleman. And then I got into super big CrossFit. and then I kind of got back into bodybuilding and then I found starting strength. But I lifted. I mean, I also, before college, I lived in high school.

I think it might have in high school. I think I might have a Mighty Mouse T-shirt on. And I was doing like leg extensions. Now, when you say leg extension, that's the one where you're sitting down like in a chair and just like kicking up. That's what I picked. That's what I picture.

But I think, so when I picture leg extension, I'm sitting down like I am right now. If you're not watching YouTube, you should. I'm holding hands. handles on my side and I'm kicking the knees up, right? I'm extending the knees, yeah. But I guess there could be, I mean, that would be a, that would, that would technically be a leg extension.

A hamstring curl would technically be like, where you're laying down. Well, that would be a leg flexion. Okay. But like, when I think leg extension, you're sitting sitting on a seat and you're kicking the weight out in front of you. now what's the one where you are sitting down like you're sitting down and then it's like the leg

I guess like press is what I'm taking up to okay yeah yeah that one you do a lot of wait wait Jeff was just here and he's gone so mysterious no he's so mysterious anyway that's it for outlying stations uh that I know of we're lost without our leader

I don't even know what we do here uh just stare at other. Yeah. I mean, there's 10 people watching on X. If somebody's enjoying it. All right. He's back. He's back with no sound. It'll say so. Oh, we can hear him. All right. So,

hey, trash 5 here. 3. No, you had to go take a SHIT real quick. I went ahead and the staff brief for you. We got through all the outlying stations. We covered leg extensions for some reason. Not actually sure how we got there. I kind of let sidebars go. Once you're in the

seat of the three, you kind of realized that hard to manage sidebars because you're just thinking ops. And so as soon as I took my five hat on and my three hat on, we kind of got into ops instead of, you know, good order and discipline that fives worry about. But the brief is actually over. We're just going to turn it over for comments to Sergeant Major and Trash Six. And then we're ready to start the show.

Sir, Major, do you have anything for the group? Yes, yeah. Thank you, sir. Go ahead and change your socks. That's all half of that group. Sorry, Major, I've noticed you pulled up to the parking lot in your fan boat today from the Bayou, is that? Yeah. I never went to LSU, but my daddy did.

I didn't realize that. Oh, Ed Ours you, me. Go tag to shake us out. Hey, I just want to say this trash six here. I really like this new Saw Major we had, because I just been waiting to cook some jib. Oh, they're a change command? Who's this person? It's all cages.

It's a harassed battalion. What you do, don't here? A little coo nap. Little cooed up a good off. We're going to have a jam a lie cook off. We're going to pick up all the tracks and I had the corn, the sauces, and the crawfetch. Oh, yeah. I look forward to it.

And then afterwards, we're going to get that battalion online, and we're going to do a real good police call. Shoot that gate up. Down on the ground and pick up all the trash. She's going to be real good. Don't pick up no gator. You leave that wild life alone. I,

Tash six out. Oh, Tichondek. Oh, Tudan on deck. Cajun Battalion. Didn't realize. Yeah, we're now reserve unit placed out of Baton Rouge. Oh, man.

That's good stuff. All right, let's start the show. 28 minutes in. We always somehow waste a half an hour, whether Jeff's here or not. Yeah, should we get the show started? Let me get a start. This show is brought to you by BW Tax.

BW. Tax. Great guy. Better at taxes. It's almost May 1st. Actually, when you listen to this episode, it will be May 1st. And that means that it is a new month and tax month is over. And if you got extended, you're probably stressed right now. You wish your taxes were done.

Your friends are all getting their rebate checks in the mail. They're going to the Strength.com and dropping grants on Made in America cast iron plates and you're over there in your garage with your Fisher Price dumbbell set because you don't have your rebate check because you've tried to use H&R block, you got screwed, now you're extended,

and you don't have the taxes yet. What's the best day to plant a tree? 20 years ago. Today. What's the second best day to plant a tree? Today. Today. 10 years ago. Oh. That's not that work. 19 years.

19 years ago. 19 years and 362 days. Let me get George Bush on here. People say they put food on their children. Fool me once. Fool me twice. The point is you want to start doing your taxes now. That's the point.

Thank you, George W. Bush. Appreciate that. Start doing your tax down with a BW. Tax L.L. dot com. This episode is also brought to you by Mr. Helmet. Trey, take it away. I got a cough.

Mr. Helmet. Mr. Helmet, green, gridiron, gridiron green. Jeff, have you ever been in a time where you've been sitting watching a football game? You're like, I want that helmet. I want to, man. There's some good looking helmets.

There's some good looking helmets. I want it right now. And you're like, oh, where should I go? Oh, you click that link. Green, gridiron, gridiron, green. Mr. Helmet. He's got big helmets. He got small helmets. Good, good guy.

Official sponsor now. Happy to have him on board. Yeah. You can get him with a visor without a visor, but honestly, like, just get the visor. Don't be like some people we know. No. You can get a little stingy. Visors are for chups.

I've always said that. I'll die on that hill. Wow. I want the enemy seeing my eyes when I hit him. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Very well.

Crazy. Well, all right. And it seems like, yeah, we should get this show started. Yeah, it's getting started. Oh, gosh. Let's see. I think we should start with the Wuhan flu. Bras to say front and center, it's kind of already popped up.

Yeah. Did you go to China to look at maybe some manufacturing facilities? What's going on? Yeah, I was not to use them, but to blow them up. Oh, all right. Wait, isn't there a song? Yeah, hang on. Go on.

Yeah, this. Wu-Tang Clan. Wuhan virus ain't nothing to. Yeah, I don't know, man. I'll give a short synopsis and then apologize to all the listeners, which are my mother, who already knows them sick, because she's my mother. So obviously I text her mom, I'm sick.

Pray for me. Friday, not. I was watching the stage coach thing, went to bed, everything was good, woke up about 3 a.m. I thought my lungs were going to like sprint out of my body. So I was like, I got to get out of the room. I'm going to wake everyone up. Went to the living room. Could not go back to sleep.

I had some chills. Thought I had a fever, didn't have fever. I called some of the gyms. You got coach this morning. I'm like super sick. Hacks it up all day. Saturday. I don't think I left the couch.

T. honey, lemon, you know, ginger root, every Mexican herbal available. Like, I'm doing it all. I'm eating the soups. Sunday, same deal. Monday started to turn in the corner. I try to go outside some. Finally broke down, went to the, I couldn't sleep.

So the problem was, I mean, it was terrible during the day. But the problem was when you went to lay down, the cough kicked up. and you like not to sound dramatic but I could not sleep at all it would it was actually choose your own adventure fever dreams and it was kind of fun so yeah I would I would lay down and I'd be laying down and then I'd wake up and I'd be like that must have been 30 minutes I was like it was three minutes I was like that's really crazy because I just dreamed about like being home in South Carolina. And then I'd go back down. Oh, that was only three minutes. And then I started timing them like a psycho. And I'm like, okay, literally I'm falling asleep for three minutes.

So I can think about whatever I want. Okay, South Carolina Gamecox winning the national championship. I go sleep. It's like, and like I'm not in any kind of deep sleep. So whatever I want to think about, I'm like, but I'm so tired because I haven't slept in two days. Gamecox won a national championship. Bruins turned it around. I said I did everything. I was time traveler. Okay. I knew about Alan Cook before anyone knew. I knew about the White House Correspondent Center. I was ahead of everything. Fever dreaming.

That's a joke. Yeah, that's a joke. He didn't know. He didn't know. I didn't know. Anyway, yeah, so I'm on day five, six. We're recording on a Wednesday instead of a Tuesday for another day.

I really thought I'd be 100% today. I'm not. But we're on the up. We're on the up. That's good. On the up. Next slide. Okay, well, I mean, normally we maybe like would expect this to kind of be like, we bring this topic up, but it's really short and we know that.

But like, now we know for really video evidence, trade has been training. Oh, that's why Jeff's computer was a working. Yeah, all those. There's too much mass. We, uh, yeah, sorry, Jeff, broke the computer. Hey. Yeah, I guess we touched on it. business.

So I guess it was posted on the OK podcast, Instagram, and apparently my knees weren't out far enough. Thanks, whoever said that as a coach. But no, man, I just kind of went trying to do something this week. I thought I was going to do like a full-blown workout. And I did 315 squat yesterday. And I'm like, oh. And then I was like set to. I'm like, yeah, so I think all I'm due today, which is fine.

And then today did bench press today. Tomorrow got a deadlift. And then, you know, start trying to ease back into it. Get a routine going, hopefully. But yeah, for right now, just trying to do something better than nothing. You know what I know. Something's better than nothing, brother. That's what we've always said.

Yeah, Grant accused me of having a fire watch on my gym stuff. So I guess I saw the green book. And I was like, is he working out? is he just doing a firewatch law? It's just firewatch. Hey, I mean, you got those strength gold plates. People in the neighborhood, they start to get wise. And, you know, they maybe start coming for those.

Yeah. I did take some pictures. I need to post it to the Jim Radar. Ooh, Jim Radar. Jim Radar. Well, real quick, can you hear me okay? Yeah, I can hear you. I do think, Trey, there's something to, we've talked to this before,

but it's one of the reasons I'm jealous about not having a home gym, which is funny considering that I make gym equipment. Oh, 2-1, Utah. Love it. But if you do have a home gym, and Conner's really good at this. And Conner's like, I get a lot of dad advice from Connor. He's just, you know, he's like,

he's basically like a year ahead of me and everything in terms of dad life. So I get a lot of advice from him. I'm not Mr. Mom like he is. I don't know how he does that. Kudos to him. But he's like, bro, I go to the gym 35 minutes a day every day. he's like one day I might be squat one day I might be pressed one day I might like be on the I might put my weight vest on and go for a walk he's like I just do 35 minutes a day like seven days a

week uh and like one so one of them's like a recovery day right but it's like lift lift and he kind of like does it intelligently and I'm like man that is awesome and for me I'm literally one mile for my gym you're talking five minutes in the car or you're talking 12 minute walk right maybe 15 minute walk um point eight miles technically and 0.8 miles if you're walking. I'm a mile if you guys. The crow flies. It's a 12 minute walk.

Yeah. Yeah. How does the crow fly? But like that is still different than your garage, particularly if you have kids. Because you could put your kids to bed or you could be watching one. Maybe you're responsible for the twins or just the other one. And you could like take the thing outside and be watching a little screen. You know what I mean?

Whereas like, I can't take the screen to the gym. Even though it's a mile away and the baby falls off the bed. and I'm like, well, I'm only a mile away, Diane. I'll be home soon. I know she fell off the bed. You know what I mean? Yeah. When you said the thing, at first I thought you were talking about you.

I thought that was the kid you referenced. No, the thing. Yeah, to take the thing outside. I was like, is that the kid? No, what do you call those? The modern, little baby mom. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It's a good baby monitor name. Anyway. Thing. Yeah. I think home gyms. that are super underrated.

And I think one lift a day can be, I think you could have super success. And I think for, and I'm not preaching at you, Trey, I'm preaching to people that complain to me too. I'm also maybe preaching at you a little bit. I'm encouraging you, my brother in Christ. But I just mean, I'm like, hey, yeah,

literally like stop thinking about starting strength in like an hour and a half of like doing all the stuff and think about, hey, the day I bench, I'm out there in a dress shirt, like still buttoned up. up and I'm like doing two sets five with empty bench walking in putting my briefcase down or whatever coming back in her in your case taking your hat off or kicking off you look Casey boots coming back out and you know doing the next thing and I think especially for some of the strong like you can get a lot of bang for your buck and a short amount of time. Yeah, I guess just you know if you're running the starting strength program you see those bigger jumps as far as getting stronger every week. versus doing the once a week.

So you can't. Would you disagree with that? No. Like you can't, you can't take the starting strength program and break it down to 30 minutes, six days a week. That is not the same stimulus, right?

Yeah. But you, who has a training background that can deadlift 405 for five right now and can squat 315 for five right now and can do like some real weight, can apply. And what I say by real weight, I'm not trying to get people impressed by the numbers. What I mean is you can, you can incur real stress because of all your prior training.

So if you give me a similar guy that's 38 years old, that is your age, your height, your body weight. But he doesn't have your background of training. And if I go to get him to squat and he can only squat 125 pounds. Not the same amount of stress. Him trying to lift six days a week. Is it better than doing nothing? absolutely. At 100% it's better than him doing nothing. But it's completely different than what you're doing.

Because you can go in there, warm up and squat 315 for 3 sets of five and walk out in 30 minutes. He can go in there, but because he doesn't have his base, he's weak and he can squat 135 for 365 for 365. And both you guys weighed 245, right?

You're both the same everything. But you actually did something, like the guy that's already built the base up has way more to like gain from very little effort than the guy that's never done anything. And so it's almost like the inverse of the novice effect. It's like, hey, if you like spend all that time back then to get really strong, you're kind of like an idiot to not go like dump some money into the bank to get a bigger return on it. Is that makes sense? Whereas like the novice like, no, that dude's got to like actually say, you know what? I wasted 38 years, never training. Now I got to

say I'm going to give up 90 minutes for three days a week. It's a harder hill to climb. Right. It's a harder. Like you're like already up the hill. It's just like now I got to commit the time. And so now you can kind of piecemeal. Any of it.

It doesn't make me talk a lot of my sore throat. My bad, dude. I got that throat. I got that throat comfort. T that throat comfort potential sponsor, Yogi. Hey, yes.

Yogi throat comfort. Money. All right. I feel like that Oh, well, Trey's late entry into the journal here. It kind of goes along that lines of lifting and training, but Trey wants to know,

do you think music improves your lifting? Like, there's science behind this, right? Like, do you think you're saying, like, if I'm listening to song A and I'm going for a PR I can throw an extra five pounds on there because I've got this song on their vice. First of all, we're the wrong

we're the wrong ones to ask. Yeah. Jeff was in a fleet foxes. I've been following a lot and all the little I'm ready to squat 405 right now. And there we go. Like there's

a PR deadlift right there. There is science. I think there is. There's got to be science behind. If you are not listening to any music and you try to go for PR versus you pop in a song, give you a little bit of motivation. Do you think it helps? It's obviously all mental.

But here's what I would say. I think for me, I'm a big believer in placebo is real. So if you believe the smelling salt, getting slapped on the back and listening to for whom the bells tolls is going to make you deadlift 600, I believe it's going to help you deadlift 600. That's it. That's all you got. That's all right. I mean, so I think maybe the music gets you to exert effort longer. But do I actually think that the music makes you stronger?

Obviously not. right but maybe but i guess i'm talking about the placebo there is a placebo yeah well maybe it's not placebo right but it's like hey i'm so fired up i mean there's something about training with other people i mean there's been times uh my buddy last year where it's like you got like 40 marines around a dude squatting and everyone's like it's like you're not gonna miss that lift you know uh well now are you like yeah at some point maybe 500 goes to 600 you might miss it but like yeah no i'm atmosphere and environment. I mean, for sure helps.

I mean, like, I mean, it's a football game, right? Yeah. It's like, I mean, dude, do you ever been to a midnight yell? There's like six guys in overalls and they start going, whoop, whoop, whoop. And it's like, man, do you want to make the squad 405? Not going to miss that lift. Farmers fight. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I think great. I think great hit the nail on the head there with like, I don't know if it's necessarily like this song, but I think maybe it like it, you're like, oh, this is my PR song or whatever it is. And you put that on, I think it's like a mental thing and it's like creating an atmosphere that like maybe focuses you a little more kind of like puts you in this mental state that

like, okay, yep, I got to hit this lift. This is my song. I get this melon salt. I've got the right shoes on. Like I tighten my belt one extra prong because I really want to, I want to feel it. I'm going to play drop kick Murphy shipping up to Boston. 5,000 times on Friday before 1600 Pacific for the Bruins to try to win game 6 against the Sabres. Like I'm an amount of times for a Red Sox Patriots, Bruins Celtics games that I've done that.

And 50% of the times it's worked, you know. Have you ever lifted in dead silence before? Yeah, a lot actually. Have you really? Yeah. Actually, like, like I would I would go to venture way more than the average. person. I used to do it all the time. Yeah, I've stopped that since. But what I was going to say originally, my first response to be was, I don't know that some songs make me lift more, but some

songs make me lift less. I agree with that. Like a really bad playlist like pisses me off. Like it's like, come on. Like, just put on like 80s rock radio. Everyone's happy. Like everyone's happy. The worst is I went to a gym in Oklahoma City and it was just like somebody was in charge of the radio. Just like West Texas country. No, it was. And you're like, God, just like screamo. The only thing worse than that is like Rusini's playlist for Brable called Turning the Page. They guys not tracking this.

No, say one more time. Yeah. Oh, was that was that a Mike glitch or was it a bad? Yeah, Mike. No, Mike glitch. I said the only thing worse than that is Rusini's playlist for Vrabel turning the page. Did you see that playlist? No.

Do you know the scandal? Yes. Yes. So like the scandal just like keeps getting evolved. It's like, no, we're just friends. Oh, you're fired. Oh, here we are six years ago in a bar. Oh, here's this.

And then there's she invites him to a spot. Spotify playlist. After the same date is the end of a four-week Tennessee Titan skid in the year that they've lost four games in a row. She names it turning the page. And the playlist is terrible. It's like Lizzo and Lotto. And it's bad. It's bad.

Yeah. Lotto. Lizzo's sister. Yeah. Yeah. Is it a lot of us. Lotto's a single too, right? Is Lotto not real?

I think a lot of real. I've never heard of Lotto. Yeah. I haven't either. No, Lottos. Lottos, all right. Lotto's 100. All right.

I'm going to share a screen. For those that watching YouTube, let me be vindicated. I thought this was another. Oh. Lato. Big energy. Oh, you would pronounce that Lato?

I don't know, man. It's a lotto, Lato. Lato. Potato. Potato, potato. This is a song that was a lotto. on it. That was the song that was on it, which is, I think it's Big D energy. Mm. I'd like that.

Original. That's a cover. I think George Strait sang it originally. Yeah. Originally. Yeah. But it was like, pretty someone to Dallas. Yeah. He's talking about Dallas. Got a big D energy. Big Dallas energy. The big D in Odessa. Odessa. Odessa. Oh, no. Deza.

Okay, well, that's lifting music. If you're watching on YouTube, comment your favorite lifting song or your least favorite lifting song, or it could be genre. So something like that. We'll see if we're getting those comments. Yeah, and if you comment on there,

don't worry, Trey and Jeff are constantly monitoring the YouTube comments. They'll make sure to have them up next week. I have so many screens up right now. I have one. I have 1007 screens that are posted and one is my, one, each one is monitoring. How many vertical?

Oh, they're all vertical. That's the most efficient. That's the most efficient. That's the most efficient. Yeah. I can check the YouTube periodically. I feel like I went in the other day and liked a bunch of comments. I appreciate that.

Yeah, we're sneaking up on some views on YouTube. We actually appreciate you guys over there on YouTube watching us. We haven't been giving you much love. I haven't been pretty shorts over there, Jordy. And I was sneaking over there the other day. I was like, oh, we're creeping up on, I think it's a thousand subscribers over on the OK podcast. So appreciate what you're doing. Dang.

I'll shave my mustache if we get to a thousand. Oh, wait. Okay. Flu ain't nothing to. Okay, well, that's a good segue. Then we talked music and now we talked lifting and then music while lifting. And now we're just going to talk music, stagecoach. I know what was that last weekend in old California, IA?

Yeah. Did you guys ever hear about it when you're out here? No. I went to it. I've heard of stage coach. Jeff went to it. Okay. 2015.

It was before I went on that first mule that I did. Oh, I know. I remember you went. Yeah. No, I remember when you lived with us. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Was it? Was it super packed? Going to that. It was, yeah, super packed. Um, it was a lot of fun. I don't, yeah. I don't. I don't.

We definitely didn't go for any of the music there. Like, we just went there because we were like, oh, we're about to go deploy. Like, who'd you go with? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. It was like me and a handful of like the other. like Lima Company Trench Cat. Trench Cat. Yeah. Trench Cat was there. We rented a really crappy RV. I remember

driving it. Dude, I remember driving that thing from, I don't even know where we picked it up in Southern California out, I guess it's Coachella. Let me do it. Let me do a quick pause X here. For the listeners that are not diehard

Marines, Jeff just gave a really good tidbit. He said, I went with the guys from Lima Company, which means that he was going with a bunch of infantry company grades officers, and he was most likely the FSO attached to the infantry battalion. Yes. Which means that in so facto, of course, Jeff became the one that had to drive the camper home. Because the infantry guys got so obliterated out of their minds that they just had zero plan.

And that's, I assume that's how you became the RV driver. Yeah, well, I, I drove it, I drove it two stage coach. And then they were like, well, just drive it back. Well, who drove it back? Oh, we, it was okay. So random, some corp. No, it was a Navy SEAL drove it back. Oh, he got a hot they upgraded.

That guy was drunk and didn't even care. He was the, uh, he had gone to the Naval Academy with one of the guys that we were with, and he came with this. He was actually like, he was awesome. He was very cool. Yeah. And he ended up driving it back. So they got a shop in line.

The rest of us. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He has a book. He actually, I read that book of, uh, it's the whole chapter dedicated to it. It's called driving RVs.

Yeah. It's called stage coach returns. The lone stage coach driver. I remember that's a good name of shield book. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The lone driver. Yeah.

The lone driver. Everybody else was drunk. The lone driver. Great book. His whole story. All of his buddies get killed and stage coached by California drug addicts. He ends up alone, finds the keys to an RV. He's a local.

Yeah. But he saves the Marines. He saves all the Marines. All the reason. Single handedly. So what do I say? I would say I never really heard a stage coach. I mean, I guess I did, right?

I remember you went Jeff. And then when I got to Steel Beach, I had Malia. works for strength co Kelly good friend of the strength co I remember them going over the years never really got into it I went with Diana kind of early on before we were married to boots in the park which is like a very filtered down stage codes we saw like john party I think was the big name there maybe red Atkins was there the son of the other atkins guy um trice trace trace yeah yeah yeah um yeah atkins diet yeah they were doing the atkins diet diet they were doing the actins diet Super skinny. Anyway, so, but here we are, you know, we got a toddler at home.

And it's Friday night and we're big L. fellas in the house. And she's headlining. I tell her she's not headlining. But she's, in my mind, what is headlining? Which means 7 p.m. California time because it's like, oh, I can watch that and then go to bed. Right? Like Cody Johnson's on at like 10 p.m.

Like I did technically stay up for that. but I'm like, that's not prime time. Primetime 7. So I watched Stagecoach live and I actually was like, I don't know that I've, the only other music festival I think I've watched live was Jack White somewhere. And I don't, it might have been Coachella.

And I don't remember where I was, but I remember like Jack White being live. And outside of that, I don't know that I've ever watched the music festival. But so I watched it Friday night. And then that's the night I got sick. So it's stagecoach's fault. But then if you fast forward, I'm on the couch, Saturday can't move. So I obviously watch it again Saturday night because I can't move.

And then the windstorm takes it out. And I leave the screen up. My wife and baby are asleep. And it says, you know, stagecoaches paused due to weather. And I'm watching on Twitter for like an hour. And they're like, people are running away from the windstorms. I'm like, this isn't coming on. So I put on like Law and Order SVU.

Don't take night. Try to take nightquil. Don't fall asleep. Struggle through the night. That's what I wake up in the morning. And I get all these Laney Wilson reels on my Instagram. And they turned it on like 30 minutes after I went to bed. They turned it back on.

So anyway, I wanted to see Ella and I wanted to see Lainey. I think that's all I wanted to see. I didn't really care about Riley Green. Whatever. stage coach yeah i've only done acl that's the only music festival ever done like austy city limits yeah yeah yeah do you know west texas degenreates yeah yeah do you like actually i was to him i was to him this week for the first time they popped up on uh xum radio i know three or four of their songs they're from odessa

was a fan and then i watched him live at stage coach and i was like you guys are douchebags. And now I don't like them. And that's actually why I drop stagecoach in. It's because sometimes when you watch people, you're like, oh, you're not very cool. So they weren't good live, is what you're saying. I don't know. There's different between the out of their jib.

I think Jeff's more onto it than you are. It's not that they weren't good live. It's that I watched them and like heard what they said between songs. it was like, oh, I don't like you as people. Oh, so you can't, can you separate? Like, hey, I enjoy listening to them, but I don't like them as people? Not now that I've seen it.

So it's just all one package for you. I'm a package deal guy. You're a package deal guy. I'm a package deal guy. I mean, you get what you pay for. I don't know. I didn't like West Texas Degenerance. And they got a couple songs.

I can't think of any of them right now that I like. But there was nothing. guy that sings um what's the song but the lightning and the thunder carth brooks garth brooks not that one uh yeah how am i how am i going to google this without getting garden god yeah that one i don't think you'll get the right thing the first google song about lightning thunder paindylvania well that's the point uh man now i'm getting weather reports i'm Tim were. There's a song.

I'm just kidding with it. Ride the lightning. Feel the thunder. Ride the lightning. Ride the lightning. Feel the thunder. Till the dark world, tell me on that one.

Warren, here it is. Ride the lightning. This song. Let me go to it. Okay. This boy is me high. He's singing

when they call me a. Me, so I've heard that song. Come on. You've heard it. It like comes on your Spotify and you're like, yeah, this is fine. Dude comes out and a wife beater and then he like rips it off and he's like running around and it's no shirt on. And I was like, Dana, this guy's not country.

And she's like, your problem with stagecoach is you're viewing it like everyone's supposed to be a cowboy. I'm like, it's called stagecoach. Yeah. And then I looked him up and he's from like Hershey, Pennsylvania. And I was like, get out of here. I was like, the only two country people here. There's five people that were country there. Lainey Wilson, Ella Langley, Brooks, Dunn, and Cody Johnson.

Is part of the package is where they're from as well? Is that part of the package? Yeah, brother. You don't get to come from Pennsylvania and tell me you sing country music. Hey, man. I love it. Yeah, I don't know. Post Malone.

Hey, I love it. have a song about not being from Texas. I do not call Texas South, to be clear. Yeah, but you, when you talk about all these country music songs, they're all from Texas. Well, they make it music. L. L. L.A. He's not from Texas. Cody Johnson. Auburn.

Auburn. Auburn. No, they doesn't have. He could be from Pennsylvania. No, no, no. Actually, let me, let me be clear. You could have a great country singer from Pennsylvania. You have a great country scene from Massachusetts.

but when the country singer was a douchebag singing country and I found it was from Pennsylvania, it all made sense. It didn't help. It's one of those things. If you're not from the south, if you're not from the south, it's like the lifter who doesn't have a base. He has a harder hill to climb to get grants approval. Yes. No, it's not about my approval. It's not about my approval.

It's just about like, if you're from the south, you know, don't take your shirt off. You're here for tradition. Yeah. Yes. If you're from Pennsylvania, you think you're at a Justin Bieber concert. Like, come on. Anyway, it's stage goods in California. It's what it is.

It is. But I didn't watch a good few of it live. And there's some good performances. It was fun. A lot of bad performances. I didn't know that Billy Bob Thornton has a band now. Wait, what? Yeah.

Oh, he's had one for a minute. Yeah, I watched him live. He was kind of cool, actually. I didn't know anything. the songs but he was just jamming. Dude, Billy Pop poems the man. He's like, I'm famous. I'll just keep going. I love it.

The, who else is a country music singer that I heard? It's the dude from that's on a, what's the Montana Cowboy Show? Oh, the big one. Yellowstone. It's the one of the son, one of the sons in that TV show. He has a, now he's on the Marshall's TV show. Oh, yeah, that guy. Yeah, he's a country music senior, too.

He's from Ohio. He was in Ella Green's music or Ella Langley's music. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that guy. He started seeing country music. He was the one choosing Texas, yeah. Yeah, he chose Texas. She could tell.

She could tell. Auburn. Hey, she's an Auburn girl. Anytime Grant coughs, just to say Auburn. Anytime great coughs. Great coffee is going to be the top thing. Auburn. Coughing noise.

Terrible. So terrible, guys. It's the worst. Oh, man. I was sitting there in the dining room. Tonight, my daughter just, like, discovered the fan. So we have, like, the kitchen, the room off the kitchens where the record player is. And so she, I put records on when I come home and she watches them.

And the other day, it's not AC weather yet. in South California. So you just turn the fan on. So I turned the fan on. And she's like enamored with the fan. So she's just like lay down on her back and look up and be like, fan. So I'll just lay down in the back next to her.

We'll be listening to a record and just like. Sounds great. Looking at the fan. I forgot what you said that made me go to this. And now I feel stupid. But that's a good story. No, that's a, honestly, that was a good story regardless.

Yeah, that was a great story. That was better than the stage coach one. That was a great story. But yeah, we just lay on the, we just lay on her backs and look at the fan and go fan. Yeah, anyway, I don't know why I got there. Here we are. Great story. Oh, do we want to go?

My daughter gets up and runs to the, to chase the cats. And so I sit up and I sit on the stool and I like, I'm like, have my hands by my knees. And I'm just like coughing my head off. And my wife looks me and she goes, hey, are you sad? And I just looked at her. I was like, no, I'm not sad. I'm just really tired of being sick. She was like, oh, that's what the story was.

That's where, okay. Yeah. I don't have time for the sickness stuff. Come on. Hey, come on. Like a Trump over here. I get stuff to do. We want to go sports?

Or do we want to keep going kind of like miscellaneous kind of stuff? I mean, we're an hour and five minutes in. What are we got to lose? Hey. Trey, any inputs? Yeah. Let's get sports. Let's do sports, man.

All right, let's do some sports. Um, uh, it, manage my tabs here. Okay. Uh, it's update that's three to two golden nights

over the mannith right now. About to go to the third period. Come on. Let's go. Utah. How about in are you? I mean, so this is actually a genuine question.

As someone that, I'm curious as like a developed sports fan, a new team comes to the city that you've lived in for half a decade. Yeah. And you have every reason to be a fan, but they're a brand new team. But like there's no tradition. There's no nothing yet.

Like I'm not asking with a velvet dagger. I'm asking like, are you like, man, I'm like super passionate about this? Or you're like, ah, it was this new thing. I like bought a couple jerseys and whatever. We're, Kaylee's definitely in, she's in on it.

Although she's asleep right now, so she's not watching the game. So she's not that in. She's, you know, got, priorities, baby. Girls got to sleep.

But, uh, she's definitely more in on it than I am, but I'm definitely like pretty pumped. I think it's exciting. Like it's just, you see a lot of people around town now like, wearing like mammoth stuff and it's like,

you know, it's fun to them be like, hey, all right, big game tonight. How we feel it? Like, let's beat the nights. And,

So I guess the bought-in scale would be like 10 years from now, you're living next door to me here. Probably sooner, but let's say at that time. I'll have a giant. You think that house will still be? Would you in my front yard? Yeah. Would you still be, yeah, would you still root for them if you were not in the city?

I think they are my hockey team now. Okay. And I think they'll be who I root for. I called that being bought in. I kind of had one before. Based off where you live, I would say it's fair that you never had. one. I had the thrashers for a little bit and I did get into them, went to a bunch of games, and then they went to Winnipeg. So that basically had the Bruins for your sister. Yeah. And so

I kind of was like a Jason. If the Bruins did well, I was happy. But like I wasn't super into it. But now I'm like, okay, I think I'm a, I'm a mammoth guy now. I think Maymoth makes sense for you. I mean, I said to Diana, so we watched a Bruins game. Bruins come back. And so we'll just talk a little sports here. So Sunday, I'm sick as sick as can be. We all got Bruins jerseys on. I'm laying on the couch. We're sitting there watching the game. They score right away. And Diana goes, we're going to lose this game. And I would say, Diana, I've tried to like turn her into every Bruins, every Boston sports fan. And like, she's does love the Red Sox. She does not like Celtic.

She is a Lakers fan. But the Bruins, she like, she's like actually like into it. Like she's like, nice. She like likes the Bruins. And so she, she's like, oh, man, we're going to lose this game. Like, I believe it.

And man, Sunday was, it was like they weren't there to play hockey. And here's what I'll say. I watched that game because I was sick and couldn't move. And it was like, I was kind of sick like you can't think. Like, I don't like go back on my. Twitter on our Instagram on whatever like there was no there was no critical thoughts coming out it was just I was just existing so I watched that and then I watched the kings game and I watched the edmonton game and like everyone was really playing hockey and I'm like what were the bruin's doing

and my point was in the first part of the story is that when the ducks came on I was pulling for the ducks, man. And I told Diana, I said, hey, I've been to more Bruins games than I've been to Ducks games. But it's close to Tide. If you said, where was the game,

where was the game? Oh, gotcha. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like, I probably watched the Bruins play the Ducks in Anaheim eight times. Yeah. I've probably been to a Bruins game against anybody a dozen.

times. Okay. But I've also been to a Ducks game against anybody, maybe four to five times. Does that make sense? So like so and so I'm like, yeah, like I'm, but my problem is is that the Ducks fans, it's like, they even left this, the team name Anaheim. They took the Angels from you and they made the Los Angeles Angels. They left you, Anaheim Ducks. Like, can we get some fans to step up here? Yeah, great. Yeah, living in the county. I'm a little disappointed. But it also makes sense. Like, this. is not a hockey place. Like hockey places are true. Ohio, Minnesota,

Boston, Chicago. Yeah, yeah, like, Buffalo. Buffalo. Like,

it's, it's, Canada. All of it. All of Canada. Everywhere, every city in Canada should have it at each other.

As a South Carolinian, I'm kind of proud that like North Carolina has a good team, but like, that's not a hockey place. Texas is not a hockey place. Florida is. Should be the upper part of the country. Yeah, Tampa Bay, definitely a hockey place.

Hey, I mean, Tampa Bay's fans do show up, though. Do you? Southern California, I forgive all the fans for everything. The living's so good out here. Why would you ever care about any sports? Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm just going to go surf, bro. Oh, bro. What, hockey? Whoa. Hockey? They should try surfing. I feel like Dallas has a good, have a good following.

Yeah. I feel like they've been there and they've been good enough and like in the mix that people are like, yeah. Even I remember being little and there's a lot of people who followed hockey too. Yeah. Yeah, Dallas, Dallas cares. That was, that was me being.

That was making points. Yeah, facetious. No, but I would say that. Not facetious. Hyperbolic. Hypomolic, okay. But right now it's the only good Dallas team. So that's why somebody who will care about it. Well, I mean, Ella Langley blessed the team.

That's it, yeah. So. But how about these games? How fun have these games been? This has been epic. So many overtime games. Besides the Colorado, they swept, right? Yeah, which was kind of fun, though.

Like, sweeps are actually fun in their own way. If I'm not watching, like, if I don't have a rooting interest, I just want to see a good game. game, I don't like sweeps. I'm always, I want to see every series go to seven. You're trying to get as much hockey. I'm trying to get as much as he can.

Yeah, brother. So unless it's my team, like, I'm sure if you were, you want to see the B sweep, I'm going to see Dallas sweep, but everybody else I want to go to seven. Yeah, I feel that. All right, so we got

what's coming up? It's coming out of the pipe. So we got three, two, two, So Canadians beat the lightning. So Montreal's up 3-2. Dude, that series is nuts. That's nuts, isn't it? Philly knocked out of the penguins today.

Okay. Okay. And then you got Golden Knights up on you guys right now, and it's tied to two. And so we have time in that. Tomorrow we got Stars Wild, Stars Elimination game. Wow.

In Minnesota. In Minnesota. And we got, Oilers, Ducks, Anaheim up 3-2 in Anaheim. I should probably go to that game. Hey, Diana, what are you doing tomorrow? That's been a fun series too. That's been a real good series.

Dude, it's good. Great. Been great. I think ducks win. I think stars pull through. I don't know. Minnesota's looking good. Yeah, Minnesota's good. I got money on the stars.

Texas people just have weird luck. I do think that the Bruins force game seven, but then I think we lose. Okay. And I could see us losing game six. I don't think we'll shoot the bed like we did on Sunday for game four. But I think that the bees, I think that the bees win game six. I think they make it super excited.

And all the Boston stuff's like, oh, Kurt Schilling, there's bloody suck. There's a chance. And then we lose. That's what I think. Okay. Okay.

I think Utah makes it. I would love that. That would be pretty sweet. Yeah. They're on a power play right now. Come on. boys. Come on boys. You're distracted. Next slide. Yeah. Next slide indeed. Willem Pollard, member of the Strenko Slack Channel, had a baby PR, 8 pounds, 6 ounces.

It was his last one. This one was 9 pounds, six ounces. He told his wife he has, she has to break 10 pounds next time, which means that he wants a third kid, which means that he's betting on the future. What I really love about this is the first photo he's shared in the Slack channel, which he wouldn't put on the internet because he doesn't want Jeffrey Epstein and his buddies to take it, but he feels safe in the Stranko Slack channel. He's wearing a Strength Co tea. Looks like a turkey poultry. If I could tell, probably an Excel.

Baby's looking good, a little female type. Got a nice bow on her head. So congratulations. William Pollard. I'm a same shirt you're wearing right there. Good guy. So if you're not on the Slack channel, Get on Slack channel.

Make the thumbnail

for that. Flash it on the screen. Oh, man. Hey, our favorite topic here running, did you all see that the world record for the marathon was broken? Which one was? Two hours. It was the London

marathon. Gay. Yeah, the guy did it in like one hour, 59 minutes and like 30 seconds-ish. I wonder how that course. So sometimes... Historically, like a fast course.

And I think so... So, because some people, they don't count it if you break it. Right. Because it's, or they put an asterisk because it's like predominantly downhill. Yes. This one is, I think, I think it's like the times that they've before been like, okay, like when Nike was making the big push to try to like have their guy break the two hour barrier. I think this was the course they were trying to do it up.

because it's like it's the fastest kind of of like the legal ones if I'm not mistaken. Okay. So it's like good conditions. I'm watching the video and it's like it shows him cross the line. You can see as you can see it's on him and you can see the clock in the background. And then you see the guy in second place come through. And I go, oh, he also broke the two hour barrier. He came in at like one hour, 59 minutes and 40 something.

seconds. So like, but no one cares about this guy who also like broke this barrier. It's like been trying to be done for years. That's so crazy. Two people did it. Adidas is super hyped because it was like their shoe. You know, they're like that's what did it. High tech like $500. Well, the guy, the guy actually trained with strength coat plates. Right. Right. Yeah. He was going to wear strength coat shoes, but yeah, they just, they yeah. That guy weighs as much as a strength coat plate probably. Dude, seriously. What's that pace? It's like four.

20s, something. It's like mid-fours. For 26 miles. It blows my mind. Yeah, dude. That's insane. Yeah. Have you read Borden to Run?

Yes. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good book. Makes sense. Yeah, dude, wild. I saw the author walkout and a wife beater, and he ripped it off. I just didn't want to read that book.

Hey, that's what I would say. That's exactly what I would say. I wouldn't read that book either. Want to ride the lightning. Kill my wife, beater. Wait, what? Dude, I, it killed it for me. Killed it for me.

A lot of artists killed it for me to this weekend stage coach. But if you're an artist, Dove book stagecoach. Yeah. And you're singing country music. Okay? I want you to like have a hymdle in your back pocket. that's

Cody Johnson yeah yeah Cody Cody delivered brother came out in the 10 gallon hat in his boots and sung about swan to drink my bear

catch my fish shoot my deer and I was like yep that's what you're here to do brother good night Ella and Lainey you're here to like look cute and say funny things

the Lainey Wilson documentary on Netflix If you haven't watched it, watch it. Okay. So do you know the whole bit about her butt? Okay, so she had like a bunch of stuff go viral for like having like a, I'm going to say fat but so it doesn't sound derogatory. And she just like embraced it. And then it went, she went on an ozimic.

Allegedly, allegedly, and the fat, the dump truck went away. and so a lot of people would say look what Ozympic took from us. So she leaned into all the marketing and she was like, and she says at one point in the documentary, a term I have never heard, but I will use until I die.

She said, yeah, all of a sudden a lot of people were looking at my turd cutter and I said, well, they were to look at my turd cutter. I'm just going to take my turd cutter and lead it to music. And that was like, then she would like show videos on her TikTok of like her turd cutter and then like blink to her music. But I'd never heard of a butt as a turd cutter.

Did you guys? Never heard turd cutter? I'd never heard of a turd cutter. It's my first time. I don't really like thinking about that in light of Lainey Wilson, but here we are. Yeah. Yeah. No.

Curd cutter. All right. Let's get these sidebars. were we talking about. Hey, marathon. I love running. Look at Tray. Police and the sidebars.

Oh, police. Okay, trash. Let's get these sidebars out of control. I'm Sergeant Major. I'll get going downhill. I'll get you side of them from Louisiana. It's going to put it around here. Oh, my gosh.

Okay, quick hitter on sports. They're going to up the NCAA tournament for basketball to 76 teams are overrated underrated what do you think what is it now 64 it was 64 but they're like a couple play in so I think it came out to around like

68 teams actually but yeah 64 has kind of been the number and they want to so I think is adding in like another round or whatever but what are we doing? Why? If you're at 60

like what's one more? you know what I mean? I guess, but it's also like, oh, so we can get, uh, southwest Louisiana,

Southwest Louisiana Baptist state in there for like, come on. You got against Baptist, Jeff. I got nothing against him. I just don't think they play great basketball. I think the basketball tournament's fine exactly how it is. Right?

I agree. Basketball tournament. It's got to be a money and, yeah, don't touch it. Betting thing. Don't touch you. Oh,

they're good. Don't put the cameras in the freaking dang locker room either. Oh, they're going to. Yeah, I agree with that. I wouldn't touch that. It is. Right. Next slide.

That ain't broken. Okay. Didn't they change something on the, with NCAA football? Didn't it ruling come down? I don't know if it's, but like, okay, I think the thing that's in the works is like, hey, you get five years from your high school graduation or your 19th birthday, which everyone's first. You have five years to use up four years of eligibility

unless there's like, you know, I think these like, uh, exigent circumstances like. Injury. Yeah. Some sort of like matter. Maybe in maybe that's where like the red shirt comes in. So it's like if you get hurt a bunch, it's like,

I'm sorry, your eligibility's up. Yeah. And then it's also, then they can only transfer once, right? I think that's what they're all like. I mean, this is I think in that. like executive order that Trump's trying to get like push through. It's like one transfer. You got five years to do your four years.

I'd actually be fine with that. Basically Trump saved college football. Trump won back. So many voters with that. Like, wait, you're going to save college football? Roll, time, roll. Where in the sky is also blue. But.

Yeah, no, I think those are all, I think those are good changes for college football. I'd be pro that. Good, that's good change, college basketball, bad change. Bad change, good change, bad change. Indiana University, I saw like a post, I guess they got there, all the players got five rings from this last season. So they got like a big, big 10 championship. And then the bowl games they played in leading up to the actual championship. a national championship ring and I'm like

what are they? Thanos? They do it? When you start getting rings for just playoff wins? Like who wants this? You know what man? Hey, if you win. They're champs. Yeah, exactly. They kind of do it. This, you do what you want. I feel like A&M would do that

too. I feel like A&M would be like, here's a bunch of money. I think A&M would just make like one big, never mind. Point taken. Indeed, indeed. Okay. Okay, then roll naturally natural progression. We taught college football now NFL draft.

So all those college players coming out going to the NFL. Let's see. I think SEC walked away with more draft picks overall. I forgot. Maybe the breakdown on the first round. I thought this was going to be, do we care about the NFL draft? Oh, yeah, no, this is because I know we care about it. to me, that's still the best metric of seeing what the best conference is. I'm kind of, I, I,

sure, but on a different, on a different note, do you care about watching it? Oh, no. I follow it. I'm zero percent. So you don't even follow like, hey, who did South Carolina get drafted?

No, I follow as much as my phone tells me, but I'm not, oh, 3,3, nice. I'm not, I'm not, I understand where the conversation is at now and that helps. I thought Jeff, when Jeff put it in there, I thought it was going to be like NFL draft, which meant like, do you stop what you're doing in watching NFL draft? And my answer is like, no, I don't have time to like stop watching NFL draft. Do I pay attention to get drafted?

Yeah, first 10 picks. Yeah. And then what do I watch if Gamecox get pitched or who the Patriots pick? but I don't watch any guys. I agree with that. I usually, yeah, I'll watch the first couple of picks. But it's not exciting for me. Like, I'm not like, oh, NFL draft.

Like, whereas, like, I sat down on, well, I was also very sick. But I watched, like, stagecoach, right? But, like, you know what I mean? Like, I, I don't think I'd ever, I've ever watched the NFL draft for three hours. I don't think ever would. If Patriots have first round pick? No, no, no. So here's what I'm going to tell you.

If I was in college and like so the Naval Academy guy that got drafted and made it to Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh guy from the Naval Academy. Yeah. Defer. Defer his commitment contract. Yeah. So if I was a Citiloh guy and my buddy was going to get drafted, I would sit and watch the thing. Right.

That's number one. It's like my buddy from college. Second time I'm doing that is if I have a son. I currently have two daughters. so that's very unlikely. Oh, you think they can't eventually make their way to the NFL? Oh, okay. Closing doors already on them, huh?

Okay. Oh, Grant, the glass ceiling installed in here. I'm just a contractor-grant installing glass ceilings everywhere. You need tax-up. This thing is unbreakable, I'll tell you. You need a glass ceiling? Call Grant. Trust me, that's unbreakable.

But that's the same. second time I would sit and watch which is the only things that I like to watch refunds of is the Gullah families from South Carolina when their sons win because it is like

oh praise Jesus Lord praise Jesus and everyone's screaming and I love it I love it it's best that's good stuff but no there was a time in my life where I did like I was like oh watching the NFL draft and but now I'm just yeah I don't care I won't watch

shit. I'll follow it. I'll see who goes where in the first round. And then exactly like, Graz. Do you have an NFL? Do you have an NFL? Oh, yeah, Green Bay. I was about saying. Green Bay. Who's your NFL? What? Green Bay. Okay. So.

That's a dumb. I feel so stupid. It's okay. Guys, I'm going to bed. I'm out of here. You got three under two. That brain may not be firing on all cylinders at all times. What did Diana texted? we had group chat she goes oh tray you said something funny and I'm like did I say that and she's like yes I'm like I don't remember that at all I can't remember what it was oh yeah last week last week she said um you christie gnomed his dog

yeah and she put it I don't remember saying that no I said it because you said you said it okay no wait who's saying up great just quit oh great so I said it I'm out I said it I got the last word here oh man all right next topic let's keep okay uh well the last oh we got overtime to watch we got uh Trace chow map chow map is a is a topic because the other The two remaining topics are grants topics, so I don't know how much you'll have to say about the ID Center or Brian Swanson YouTube. Why you started talking about this map that you've been built in this empire? Who's Brian Swanson?

I don't know either. Some guy. Oh, dude. So my child map, yeah. Abby is giving me a hard time. Actually, a lot of people are giving me a hard time because I spend. way too much time on it. I got booted.

Yes. You guys still on. Yeah. So with the chat, what was I doing? Okay, so I was holding a kid who woke up at 3 a.m.

and I couldn't go back to sleep. Yeah. So I was sitting there and she was sleeping on me. And I started reading Texas Monthly because it popped up much on. Did you talk about this? We talked about it.

It was, No, it was a post show. Yeah, it was a post show. Okay, okay. And so I was reading the Texas monthly and it was like 10 Texas restaurants you have to go to. Have to. And I was like, oh, interested. And I was like, okay, San Antonio, here's one.

Houston, here's a couple, Dallas. Had you been to any of them before? No, because they're all brand new or relatively new. Oh, okay, okay. And so I'm like, well, I go to Houston a lot for work. I drive through San Antonio every now and then. And so I'm like, I start making a list. like on a notes app of like, oh, got to visit these places.

And then Texas Monthly, every four years comes out with a like a top 50, top 100 barbecue list. Actually, it might be more than that of like top Texas barbecue places to visit. If you make it in the top 50, it's like you made the like, it's a huge deal. Yeah. For a Texas barbecue. And so I was like going through the top 50 and I was like starting to make. making a list of like, hey, here's this, the town it's in. Here's the name, like, going through.

Now, were there a bunch on that list that you had been to? Like, were you kind of, were these already on your radar? Because, yeah, some, like, Franklin's barbecue usually makes the list. Yeah. Is there a lot of movement in this top 50 or is it like there's kind of some folks that are. No, so, yeah, there's a lot. Recently, there's a lot of new one. Like, historically, there's like, Lockhart, Texas is like the barbecue capital.

Okay. Outside of Austin, Cooper's and Lano is like always like that's a staple. That's always going to be a good one. But it's not in the top 50. This time it wasn't. And so they usually are it wasn't the top 10, but so a lot of them were like new, new places that have come online. Okay. Um, like there's one like in McKinney in the town next to me where it's like a Japanese infusion text barbecue. So, It sounds phenomenal, so I'm super pumped to go to it. So, yeah, so I started making this list. Then I woke up the next morning,

and Abby's a big foodie, so I was telling her about it. And she was like saying, oh, you should put it in a maps and then you can categorize it. And I was like, oh, that blows my mind. I'm like, I didn't know you could do that. So putting Google Maps, started making categories. And then it just kind of took off. And I started looking up other restaurants to go visit and categorized.

The only time I'm a Chow Radar. And I have this massive list of just restaurants. RADAR. Yeah, Chowrador.com. I bought the domain last week when you briefly brought it up. We owe. Yeah, Chow Radar.

Trays. com. Trays Chow Radar. Totally brand new concepts. Definitely not riffing off of anything else. I think about it. I think you'd be the next thing. You know,

then like a lot of people want to talk about chow, but who's ever put it on a radar? This is the first time. Yeah, it's huge. What are you using right? now, I know, I know my, I know my comma, I know my comma failed me, but what are you using right now to store everything on Google Maps?

Google Maps. Yeah. And so you can like, you know, like make a list in Google Maps and like put a, you know, for barbecue, I got a pig for Mexican food. I think I got, I can't remember what I have for text max. But, you know, it's like all these different ones. Like you sombrero, man, I can't remember. But something like borderline offensive, probably.

I was like, be careful what you divulges your little indicator. But no, so I think I got them like all sushi restaurants, you know, it's, I got all these different categories too. And I have a lot of people who would like come to town and be like, hey, where should I go eat or what should I do? And I'm like, here's a list. Go. Bam. Brants offended. Yeah.

You lost. What'd you put down there? Uh-uh. You said sushi guys shots? No. We are still upset about World War II and Pearl Harbor. Well, yeah. No,

Chow. Well, on, sticking on Chow Talk, man. Dude, I've been crushing these Patagonia canned, uh,

muscles. Dude, the muscles are good. I'm like, Padigone, just quit making clothes and just start sticking to canned fish. They're like, their fish stuff is actually pretty dang good. They do some good. They have the best one is.

No, not yet. Is it good? Yeah. The best one I've had, like my favorite is the spicy muscles. Spice muscles is solid. Really, really good. Spicy and the smoked, smoked muscles. Yeah.

Yeah. Dude, does it good. It does it. You just crush them straight or do you mix them in with stuff? You're like... No, straight. I like that. I just crush them straight up, man.

I think they're phenomenal. Dumping it. Oh, yeah. It's the best, man. You know. And it's carnivore. Oh, dude, yeah. Yeah.

Healthy, healthy, healthy, clean protein. But can't be that. So say, like, dude, this, your chow map, like, I mean, you think about the Michel and stars are now like the biggest thing in food and that started from a that's the tire company. A tire company, right? I'm like, dude, Trey's about

to become the biggest thing in food. It was like oh my gosh. I gotta get on Trey's Chow map. Oh my gosh, guys. Okay, Trey's coming to the restaurant. Okay, everyone be ready, be ready. We want to make it to the map. This is a trial run and then he's going to rate us and we're going to get on there

as a good chow push or an epic chow push. We really want to be an epic chow push this year. We've been a solid. There's so many places out there around here, man, that I'm like there's no reason for us to go to like a chain restaurant. Oh, right? Yeah. Because there's so many

different things that we can go try. So I don't know. Yeah. You know, don't get me wrong. Like, I'd love me some chilies. But, dude, chilies? I feel like made such a hard come back in the last couple years. Like, they kind of like

Got slept on for a long time. But now people realize Chili's is solid, man. I think anybody dogs on Chili's, man. They're just... Get out. I don't want to know them. It's like a country that's taking their shirt. I better not see one of those guys at a Chili's.

I'll be pissed. Although those people might go to Chili's. They feel like... That's probably the Chili's... Okay. Where do you land on Applebee's? I don't think I've been there enough to make... Like a solid judgment on it.

Okay. Okay. If there's Chili's and Applebee's next door, I'm picking Chili's. Okay. I think I would do the same thing. If it was, if they were literally right next door and they're like gun to my head, they're like, you got to pick one. I'm picking Chili's easy. Yeah. But I feel like if you've been to Applebee's, you've been to a Chili's. It's just different decor on the wall. It's like the menu's not that different. That is true. Yeah. But I do, I do lean towards Chili's, mainly a nostalgia thing. We would go there. We went there a lot in high school There was a Chili's that was like very close

We went there a lot Oh dude yeah we had one We had chilies I don't if it was a thing It was called Chili's to go Do you remember those? Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah It was just like essentially

A Chili's but they had like a to go section Where you just like come pick it up Yeah Oh man Dude we went there We went there all the time Old timer Time with cheese

We just eat our body weight in bottomless chips and salsa. Just like crappy chips. I was like, those are the worst chips. Worst chips. But you get the ones that's like nine chips stuck together. And you're like, yeah. Yes, this is the best chip.

Even though they're garbage chips. And the salsa is like water with like little tomato bits in it. But just crushing them. I guess last thing made them and close this thing up. is I started reading and I assume it's being recorded still but yeah right

just me talking to Jeff essentially 4 3 baby 4 3 are they up how much time is left go uh 4 and a half minutes okay do I start reading new book what is it dungeon crawler Carl have you ever heard of this

uh no they're coming out with a like a series of it like on TV okay but it's definitely not a grant book but

just by the name of it I was like I don't know yeah yeah I feel like you I feel like you would dig it man I think people like it okay let me look this up

dungeon oh first thing that pops up when you type in dung dungeon crawler car I would add that to

there's I think seven or eight books total. I'm on book one right now. Okay. But I feel I feel like you would get into that. Okay, okay. And the audio books,

the audio books really good. I'll check it out. Kaylee's a big reader. Like, she's just always crushing books. 99% of time they're about murder. And then 99% of that time it's a book about murder

about like a husband, like getting murdered. And I'm like, oh, no. Are you taking notes? Are you? like, why are you bookmarking this so much? Why do you, wait, why are you taking notes over there? Yeah.

What is it posted notes in here? Hold on. No, no, no, no. Why do you keep saying, oh, good idea? That's what, Abby is so obsessed with, uh, on Netflix, like she watches just like, a murder documentaries. And I'm like, why are you watching so much of this? Like, are you taking notes?

Yeah, hold on. You get a little nervous around here. Oh. Killed my husband. Yeah, but she's always like, oh, we should like read the same book. I definitely don't read as much as she does. And so she's, you know, and she's like, oh, you pick a book and we'll read it together. We kind of did Project Tell Mary together.

Yeah, so now I don't know, I'm always looking for a book. Because I feel like in the books that like I want to read, I don't think she would want to read. But this one I think would be up her, up her alley because she could also. So dabbles a little bit, some of like the, like, fantasy kind of like. Yeah, one of the, there's two main characters. One of them's a cat, so. Oh, well, we're in. Yeah.

Say less. We are in. Oh, dude. Well, you ready? Let's, let's catch the last, let's close this thing out and catch the last couple of minutes of this game. You want to take it in for a landing? Of course, man.

That's what I always do. You're the pro. Do we got any saved rounds? Oh, gosh. Let's see. I don't think so. We talked through everything. Hopefully, Grant got an ID at the ID Center. Maybe that's what it is. Maybe it's a success story. And maybe one day we'll find out who Brian Swanson is and why he's on YouTube. But until then, no safe rounds, no alibis. Sir, yes, sir. All right, carry on. All right, this is episode 0107. That has a great question. I think it's 107. I think that sounds right. Stand by. Stand by a firm.
