Oh man. All right. Welcome back to episode 108 of the OK podcast, powered by the Stranko. I am your host, Grant Brogi. Today's date is Cinco de Mayo and the year of our DeLordo 2026-0. Cinco de Mayo for those who celebrate. I played three women by Jack White because I saw a tweet. today, post, if you will, X formerly knows Twitter that was Donald Trump sitting in front

of a taco bowl and it said like, I love Mexicans. And the quote was, I can't believe this tweet was 10 years old. And when I saw that, I said, I can't believe that's 10 years old because that means that the album Lazaretto is 14 years, no, 12 years old, which means that I need to play three women to open up the show tonight. That's how my brain works. Trump doesn't love Mexicans. He does love Taco Bell. And I love Jack White. Jack White also doesn't love Trump. It's a weird triangle when you really get into it. And how they both love Grant. That's true. They're both listeners of the OK podcast, I presume. I'm here for my commander in chief. I'm here for my musician in chief. I support everyone I'm supposed to.

to support. But anyway, Jack White, potential guests, future guest, potential sponsor, third-man records. Yeah,

we'll take fans. Music is sacred. Join it to you tonight from the greater Salt Lake City area. Utah for you non-Western types of people that live in the southeastern sticks and don't know that the world exists outside of Georgia. You people that think Tennessee is the end,

the edge of the empire. You think the world is the flat. You don't know that there's a wild, wild west of Utah. Home of the mamma, it's no longer than HL playoffs. I did not mean to say that as a as a sting. It's just how it rolled up. It's okay. Not to drilling status. Name is Mr. Jeff Bouget. Um, Buege. Biggie for you non-military types. Yes. Mr. Jeff Biggie. Greater Salt Lake City area. Also, growing us from the road, if you're watching us on YouTube right now, you're like, why is there a weird black screen in the middle? Well, it's because Trey is black.

He's wearing black face tonight. And he is a black man. He's identifying as a black man. No, Trey is an outlying station. He's calling in from the road. Man, I had a good place to guess today. Actually, I texted you guys. Let me look back.

Trey, by chance, you in Hill Country? I wish, man. I'm in the ugly part of Texas. No such thing. The ugly part of Texas, which is about 94% of the state. Wow. Robert Trey Gautilich, the third, father of three. Exciting show.

The price of Bitcoin is $81,449. Which we would say, whether you're from Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, or South California. Bitcoin is pumping. It is pumping. We told you about two months ago, I think it was around episode 92. We told you to buy the dip. We told you it was a falling knife. It was about 64,000. We told you to buy it. Many of you listened. Few of you actioned. I'm sorry for that. But we're pumping. We're almost back up to double since the show's conception. We believe at life at conception. And this show conceived at episode

0.01. We got a lot to talk about so much. The topic's just been pouring in this week. With that, turn it over to the three. Goodness gracious. All right.

Hey, appreciate. We got outline stations dialed in on the line here. Appreciate that. Real quick, real quick, outline stations, radio check over. Uh, have you licking chicken, sir. Okay, copy, copy.

Real quick, trash, just want to make sure I can hear everybody. Outlines this. You can't get a mic check? Mike check one, one, two, one, two. Okay, yeah, got you. Appreciate you. Appreciate you calling in on the road for. Appreciate you.

Yeah, go ahead, three. Okay, yeah, well, it's also, I'll piggyback off that. Yeah, good, good comms, good com check. I got you loud and clear. We got crystal clear comms on this thing. Great work. Camo. Shout out to Camo.

No one ever gives you. props when things are working. We always come after you when things are not working, but I want to take a special shout out to the commo for being able to set up this dial-in situation. Literally no one else in the battalion could have figured it out. So shout out to the commo. All right. Let's kick it over to the S-1. Wait, is it the comma or the S-1? I think that was the commo. Let's go to the S-1. Let's get an admin update from our S-1. S-1 shop. Good evening, sir.

Good evening in staff. Good evening in sergeants majors. First sergeants and master sergeants and gunner sergeants, sergeants, sergeants, and buck sergeants and my fellow sergeants, this is your gunner and sergeant from the S-1 shop. And I just want to say, we have turned over a new leaf in the S-1 shop. We have decided that we will no longer take Chowell from 11 to 1,300. but that will be all working hours because where I come from I kind of

figured that y'all most likely is going to be eating a child from 11 to 13 so if I'm open from 11 to 13 why you're eating a child from 11 to 13 then no one's going to come in and bug me when I'm technically open and I just tell the boss well I'm open from 11 to 13 but nobody comes

besides that sir the numbers is a bumping like they've never been bumping before they've been bump it up and down the whole plantation. I mean, the S-1 shop. And everything is looking good. And we appreciate you coming by. Nothing further for the group admin out.

My gosh. It turned to Foghorn, Lechhorn turned into a little bit racist there. Yeah. I think we may have some pending questions, but we'll get with you offline for those ones. Okay, S2. S2, what do we got? Intel updates. At you, Trey.

Yes, sir. Just to recap of what I said last week, we have secured Amazon as the opt-for for the upcoming battalion exercise. That's good. drones are big priority. Yes, sir. The Amazon drones, trash drones are also going to be secured as well. Got the green light for that.

Thank you, sir. I appreciate that. Okay, excellent. work. Excellent work, yes, too. Yeah. If you don't know that, yeah, Amazon, you know, a lot of, a lot of packages show up. So a lot of trash generated by Amazon. So basically our number one threat, I know a lot of the other battalions focus on China or Russia or anywhere in the Middle East. But hey, we are focused on trash as a battalion. Amazon generates tons and tons and tons of trash, right? So that is our number one threat. Let's keep that top of mind as we keep pushing

forward. Okay, rolling right into ops, future ops, right? We're looking at anything they could become trash, right? And we're making threat ID cards, right? So you can understand like the size and dimensions of all the potential trash that you could like maybe foresee

in the future, right? So that's a future threat. We're identifying it and we're figuring out COAs as far as how we want to take down that trash, how we'll dispose of it, whether we'll put it in a dumpster whether we'll put it in a garbage can whether we'll put it in a trash compactor whether we'll just put it in one of our shit cans uh you know that's uh that's what we're working on here in ops depending any questions that's all i have hey it's trash five i just want to say major major brother brother great brief uh great brief i was i was i was dialed in for a second i thought we were

we were going to war great brief um yeah yeah nothing nothing further from trash five hey no appreciate that brother appreciate that. No problem, brother. Yeah, I got your brother. Got your back.

Uh, radio check. Radio check. Radio check. S4. This S3 S4 radio checkover? Yeah, well, I just happen to check in with the S1 this week.

And I'm the new four chief. And that's actually my brother over an admin. So he counts the people and I count the MREs. We happen to be here. I'll turn it over to my full officer now. Major Gottlidge. Thank you, Foghorn, Ligorn. Yeah, sir, just let you know. have, I've been working with the contractors over at Lockheed

and we should have our dumpsters back online here pretty soon. They're an echelon 10. I'm not sure what the maintenance levels are these days, but I believe that's an echelon. Hey, trash six, there's still only three echelons maintenance. There's three

echelons, four. I get it, I know. You're correct. You're correct. Three echelons. Yeah. Yeah. Got my numbers confused. The echelon three to two. Give with the one. Give with the one. He's real good accountant.

He kind of gets your numbers. Unconfused. Oh, yes, sir. Gotcha. Yes, sir. Yeah, long story, short, dumps to come back online. So we should be having to return the green, recycled battalion, renewable, or, yeah, renewable, what you can call it. Regiment, you know, the ones that we borrow, they're going back.

Renewable regimen. Right. That's it. Yeah. That's all I have for the group, so thank you. Oh, okay. Okay. Great, good stuff, good stuff from the four.

Good to hear that we're tracking on those new dumpsters. We want to make sure that we're tracking on that. So that's good to hear that we're tracking. Okay, medical, dental. We got any of our other log types here? Navy brethren, one team, one fight, hoorah. Yes, sir. This is the chief.

I just got out of the goat locker, and it looks like everyone needs to get a dental exam. So we'll have a rodeo next week. Another brother of the group. Thank you, sir. Okay, hey, good stuff, good stuff. All right, we'll get that on the calendar, right? You should all see Teams invites here shortly.

I'll have the 3-Alpha. Make sure that gets added to the master calendar, right, that we're all on, right? The Skittles sheet, right? We'll make sure that gets added digitally, right? So if you dial in for the dental rodeo, I'm sure we can make that happen. Okay, all right. S-6, what do we got, Kamo? That's your train.

Yes, sir. the S6. We just wrapped up our comments and our folks seen on our record jackets. We decided to throw all the bad ones away and so we're just starting over from scratch against

sir. The comms are good. We're all talking. Call me if you need me. Okay, wait a minute. So you're telling me the one is racist and the six is not? No, sir. I'm just a dork.

I don't get it. I don't get the current rules. I appreciate it. Appreciate what you do for the team six. Yeah, good job. All right. Okay, great stuff. Great stuff.

Okay. Any other, before we cut over to our other outlying stations, was there anybody else that had safe rounds, alibis, or other special staff? Our first sergeant, sergeant's major. This all major. This is all major. I just want to say...

Wait, did we get... What happened to our Cajun Sargent... Hey, man, this is the Cajun Simeon. No, we have two... Okay. I don't know who this imposter Sondon majors, but I ain't... Hey, sorry, I just had a...

I just had a friggin' name. Jim Oliol stuck in my throat right there. I just want to say that for the fit reps, we got some officers that got some late fit reps because we don't add us some new joins under them. I know these officers had never met these daggone Marines, but now that we don't put them up under the officer,

the officers are false. So we got a lot of 60 day plus. And anyway, I'm going to have some jam a lie. But I appreciate what you do. Remember, take care of your mental health. Take care of your mental health. Another further of the group, Saanajah. Thank you, Sergeant Mad.

This is the other, Sergeant Major. I just want to go ahead and add to that. You know, we just see a lot of trash around here. You know, pick up that trash. But most important trash is that trash between your lip and your nose. Go ahead and shape. that off. That's all I have for the group. Thank you. Hey, uh, super Cajun Sergeant Major. This is Cajun Sergeant Major. I appreciate your

super Cajunness. Uh, we're going to work well together, brother. Uh, you two, brother. Go tag us. Go tiger. Uh, yeah, uh, for those, for those new joints in the room for Trash Battalion, uh, you may not be familiar with our table of organization, uh, but we do rate to, we, we rate. We, we rate, sergeants major, right? We rate two is a special thing.

So just so you know, that's why that is occurring. That's the way it shook out. It's a holdover from Desert Storm when there was just a lot of trash. They didn't know what to do it. So they haven't got it. We've submitted a toker. We keep submitting those

tokers, but they just keep running them up the flagpole and not coming back. But yeah. What is about a to talker? You have to have to I'm with you there, S-R major. I feel you, but I don't know why the three still explaining everything. We just is who he is and we ain't who he ain't.

Go, Tiger. That's, go, Tiger. You keep the to to-ko, you know, poker, yourself. Okay, okay. Eddie's, Eddie's, all right. Tocca of your poker. All right, okay. We got a couple outline stations that checked in.

The Cajun Sergeant Major. just so we didn't know that we needed to really take this show to the next level. If you're listening for the first time, you're welcome. Congratulations. You're welcome. Oh, man. That was good. Okay, all right, outline stations.

Here we go. Friend of the podcast, Sean Shepard, aka Shawnee One More, aka Billy Martin. We got Trash 6-9, nothing of value to add to the group. So I'll just make sure to piggyback off the last check in and echo the these comments, or echo the comments reworded ever so slightly to make it seem like it's my own personal thoughts. Oh, and remember to don't be a piece of trash, rather pick it up. Okay. Okay.

All right, all right. And then obviously we'll conclude it here with Chaps. Chaplin, checking in. I had some questions hit my inbox from the last week regarding the assignment I provided. for my paternity leave. It was required that you do read in the NASB-1995.

If you have a problem with that, please take it up with Trash Six. Okay. All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training and righteousness. Second Timothy, 36th, NASB, 1995.

even in my absence, I heard a lot of worry about what you will do. I wanted to be clear, you don't need me. The word of God is all you need. You are fully equipped and ready for everyday battle. Nothing else for the group. Over. Thanks, Japs. Appreciate that.

Chaps, you don't have to say over. You know, he just wants to, you know, it's our Navy brethren. They don't get on the radio much. They don't know, they don't know proper etiquette. I'm all about the blue-green relationship. Keep it at the forefront. Big fan. All right.

Big fan. I feel that was a good, good start. Good brief. I'm a little disappointed when we don't hit the 20 minute mark on wasting time. Oh, I mean, for those that are non-military types,

and some of you are military types, by the way of from listening to the show. True. And so I'm not speaking to you. I'm speaking to the newer listener. We do seem to have an update. on newer listeners. I've said it once.

Trash Six has said it once. And if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. The staff brief, the point of the staff brief is the staff brief itself. And you might say to yourself, hey, guys, couldn't you just play a staff brief from 10 episodes ago?

And it would be the same. And you're missing the point. It's about coming to the table. It's about the attention on deck. It's about the, right in the rains and the green monsters and the white monsters. True. And the note taking gear and the coffee and it's about the process.

And the moment you give up the process, you lose the whole thing. So we're a staff brief organization. Always have been. Never not will be. If you don't like the staff brief, fast forward to 20 minutes. But really, just don't listen. If you're not staff brief, Fran, get out of here. And kind of the repetitive nature of some of the characters and the themes of the staff brief is extremely realistic and authentic of any actual staff brief.

Yeah, it's literally froghorn, Leghorn. Very few nuggets you actually walk away with and go, oh, that brief was worth my time. Yep, that's how it goes. That's how it goes. Should we? All right, should we start the show? I think we should start the show. What do you think?

Yeah, what are we doing? Okay, we're just, we're just cresting over the 20 minute mark. So, yeah, this is good. We can start the show. Okay, okay. Well, none of our teams are in the playoffs. Yeah, it doesn't say we had all of our teams go out in the first round of the NHL playoffs. So that was a little bit of a brutal.

Bummer. Yeah, that sucked pretty bad. Who are you in for now? great question I am honestly probably rooting for the ducks and I think I'm rooting for the ducks because I'm the only

and I shouldn't right like based off conferences and all stuff I should not go to the ducks but I think I'm the only person in California rooting for the ducks so since I'm in California I feel like it's my responsibility

route for the ducks but yeah no I think I mean I would put it you this way I have been to more Bruins games then Ducks games but if I counted I don't know that that's true so if I included

childhood games young man games being taken to Bruins games but like when I got to California as early as 2012 when the Bruins came of town I went to Bruins v. Ducks and then I've also just been

to Ducks games recreationally and I couldn't count it out but I bet I've been into the garden 15 times I bet I've been to the Honda Center 15 times it's probably 20 right so my point my point is in the whole story

is like it's kind of hard for me to be like oh the ducks are still in I've watched them play a bunch most of the time against the Bruins you know like never like really pulling for him but yeah I think I'm pulling for the ducks and no one seems to care about them so

dang Is our tickets pretty easy to come by still? No, there, I mean, comparatively speaking, sorry, I wanted to say quantitatively, but that didn't make sense. I almost wanted to say per capita, which made less sense. But also makes sense. Comparatively speaking, yes, I think I could get a Ducks

first round, I could get a Ducks playoff ticket, like a decent one for like $280. bucks i have looked at ruins playoff tickets right and it's like a thousand bucks um i don't know the whole league you know everywhere uh i don't know what it is right now um i know that the knights are up one nothing that's true golden nights golden nights avalanche up to nothing yeah avalanche super good definitely not pulling for them definitely not pulling for the oilers um let's see you is Tampa Bay still in? No.

Yeah. They did a losing gave seven. I wish that series should have just kept going. Like just advance both those teams and have somebody else. You're like, sorry, guys. I hate the hurricanes or the passion. I hate the flyers. I can't pull for the sabers because they beat us.

No. No. Probably golden knights or ducks. Yeah. Yeah. I was pulling for the wild. Okay, okay. Since they beat stars.

Wild. Yeah. That's interesting. So when the team beats me, I can't pull for him. I don't know. I guess it makes me feel better. If I'm rooting for a team, they lose in tournament, then it makes me feel better.

They did well, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, like when to that jujitsu thing and Placido lost on date, he lost in the top 16 and it's single elimination so you lose your out and the guy he lost who won the whole thing

so I'm like oh we're validated we're good yeah yeah yeah but in hockey I'm like yeah I'm like I hate the sabers you ruin my season everything's terrible yeah I don't know ducks golden nights

I think the avalanche is going to to win everything. I'll put that out there right now. It looked pretty dang good. Man, the way they friggin beat up the Kings. Dude, well, that first game with Minnesota, it was just like, what was the final score that game won? It was like eight to six or something like that. Yeah, that was wild. Super high scoring. Super high scoring.

But I don't know. I feel like they beat them pretty fair handily tonight, like five to Go ducks. Go ducks. Yeah, let's be a ducks. We're a duck. We're ducks. We're ducks. We're a duck. Mighty ducks. I've never seen the Mighty Ducks. There's like a TV show or something or a, as a movie. Movie. Yeah. Very unrealistic. What's it called? Mighty Ducks. Mighty Ducks. I feel like I should watch it. Feel like it being on it. It's a classic. It's a classic. Wow, man, jumping right into sports. That's the NHL. think the avalanche were going to win and jeff and tray got the ducks all right pulling for the ducks baby all right let's keep it going with some sports it well there wasn't a ton of sports topics

well the celtics lost Celtics did yeah bummer yeah i feel like a bad fan i was super sick i was tracking the bruin was tracking everyone getting fired at the red socks and i looked at the Celtics uh i think i saw him when two games like even turn it on and then i saw we were up three one in the series and i was like kind of like oh we're good this is the 76ers we're good yeah and then all of a sudden i was like wait there's a game seven the bruin just lost we're out and there's a game seven and indeed apparently like came back um yeah so if i I felt like I didn't. I felt like I could have had him clinch earlier if I'd paid attention.

Right. No, this is on you. Yeah, no, that's how I feel. So, yeah, turn it on late. Celtics are out. Celtics out. Bruins out. Red Sox suck.

It's time to move to Boston and turn things around. They need me. There you go. They need me. They need me. Hour away. Bring my kids. Time to turn it around.

Don't worry, Boston fans. we're coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Multiple championships about to happen. Yeah. It's exciting. It's exciting. It's exciting. Being down.

It's the only kind of touched on it. Yeah, Red Sox. Not, organization's not in a happy place right now. Yeah. I forget which players said it, but he said it's like, I'm going to say

crapping. Because mom didn't like when I named the surface guy out loud. So I'm going to say crapping. So it's like crapping your pants and changing your shirt. Yeah. Is what the Boston organization did. Yeah. I don't know. I, I, the guy that Henry that owns it, I guess my line I always default to is it is tough to run a business. Everyone thinks they can run a business. Everyone has 5,000 ideas as like all the things you should do when you run a business.

And as a sports fan, it's like I want to talk all the smack in the world. But I assume that the guy that owns the business is also like probably up at night, way more upset about the Red Sox than I am. Yeah. Because it affects my life zero. But yeah, it seems to be a mess. I was sad to see Corgo. I was a core fan.

Brought us the series. Seemed like a good dude for the players. Yeah, I don't, I mean, I'm not saying he shouldn't have been fired. The team is a disgrace. It's absolutely terrible. I mean, it's terrible. I don't know what the answer is besides sell the team, but, you know, what are you going to do?

Yeah, I don't know. To me, it just doesn't, I don't. Who's hot in baseball right now? Is it still the Dodgers? They got a good record, but the Atlanta Braves, I think the Yankees and Braves right now are tied for the best record in baseball.

Yankees and Braves, okay. Yeah, yeah. Braves have 25 wins. Yankees have 24. Oh, I think I was just looking at it. Dodgers have 22, Cubs have 23. As of May the 4th be with you. Ah, yes, of course, of course.

But yeah, I know Braves are still playing right now. So they could, I think, potentially go to 26 wins tonight. But, yeah, they're playing great. And it's kind of surprised. Like the starting pitching came into the season. Pretty banged up. But yeah, there's some guys that have stepped up as far as, like, starting rotation. Spencer Strider just came back from his rehab stint for his Elfell.

Albo looked okay. I think in his first start back. So we'll see how that goes. But yeah, the bats are going early. Bats are popping. Yeah, I don't know. I'm always like, doesn't even matter that they're like, I mean, obviously, you can't start the season terrible, but lots of teams have come out hot early, you know, had great April,

had a good May. It's a long season. And then we'll see what happens. So get the cameras out of the locker room. Time will sell. That's all you got to do. Hey, what do you want to do, though? Start bad?

Right? No, this is way better. I think not. Yeah. No, this has been fun. Oh, Chipper Jones. Chipper Jones. Fred McGriff.

Fred McGriff. No, neither of those players are still. Greg Maddox. Greg Maddox. John Schmaltz. Tom Glaven. Tom Glavin. John Rocker.

John Rocker. What an American. He voted for Trump. guaranteed. John Rocker voted for Trump. He voted for Trump 10 times. John Rocker. What an American. American hero.

dad to dad, Texan to Texan, girl dad to girl dad. Do you plan, like, do you think that you will go to the gym in the afternoon? Or

what am I driving at here? Have you figured out yet that if the gym doesn't happen first thing in the morning it'll never happen? No, because I would say most of mine have been like at 9.30 p.m. Okay.

And it's usually like... What time do you get up? No judgment. Just curiosity. Five. Five. Are the kids the forcing feature? Because kids are waking up? No. We usually get up beforehand or try to. So I would say around 5.30 is wake up.

And kids are awake by 6.30, I assume. 637, somewhere in there usually. So we usually try to get ready and answer some work emails. Yeah. And kind of start the day. Of God, I get it. Exactly. Yeah.

So yeah, usually. So lifting has been the last. The last. Okay. Which ideally I would love to work out, you know, I'm no Jocco, so I'm not waking him but 430. No, I don't actually know what that answer is. And I'm a bad population group to ask because I will always see the gym as like a part of my work. I'm going to go in there.

I'm going to like take photos of product. I'm going to post some things and post my workout, right? And even if it's not a productive part of work, even if it's not driving sales, in my mind, it's like, this is work. So whether I need to go at eight or nine or ten, I always make time. But having coached a lot of people and particularly fathers of young children, the main takeaway I have gotten is like, if I don't do this jaco style, which I actually think 430 is insane, Trey. So early. But if I, basically, if I don't do this first thing when I wake up, a kid's going to get sick.

A kid's going to fall at daycare. Wife's going to have a, like there's always going to be a thing that pushes it. Yeah. So I was just curious what you're, and that's where Connor is. Connor is like, I think he goes in the gym at 5.30 or 515. I think he gets up at 5. Okay. He's like, I'm not making it crazy.

I'm going in for 30 minutes. He's like, but I'm doing it because otherwise the day just implodes, right? And it's like, whereas maybe you're getting in there at 9.30 and it's working out. For me, I'd rather be going to bed at 9.30. Yeah, no, same here. I don't know. Every, every now and I would say once a week, someone's getting up like earlier than 630. if I try to go to the gym first thing, then it might get cut short.

So usually it's pretty safe. If I get the kids in bed by 7.30, like pick up everything to do dishes, then they're probably still asleep. So I've been doing 9.30 p.m. is kind of when I get into the gym. And then Super Dad Connor sent me, I kind of picked his brain. I'm like, hey, what's great mention that you had a pretty solid workout? and he sent it to me and it's very as he told me

very gem bro as far as the type of lifts he's doing but I don't know we kind of were talking before that it's less about what you're doing in there and more of the fact that you're just going in there

well I think particularly too if like you're a like I think Connor's a pretty strong guy you're a pretty strong guy so it's like I think people get caught up on like the intricacy of the program and like peaking and all this where it's like if tray goes into his garage two times a week and squats 315 pounds for three sets of five like you're pretty good off right and so that's that's the that's the leg day right so then then insert whatever you bench

275, three sets of five. You, I don't know, Romanian deadlifted, right? Connor likes to do a lot of like heavy dumbbell work. It doesn't really matter. The point is like if you're kind of strong and then you go in every time, like yeah, it doesn't matter.

Now, I do think, like for you, you're ahead of the curve. If you went in there and like walked on a treadmill for 35 minutes, is that better than doing something? Nothing. Yes. Do I think you're better going in and deadlifting 405 for a set of five. Also, yes, right? So I think there's like some, some, you know, variance there.

But, but, but yeah, no, I think, I think the habits actually, I sound like Jocko now, but I think the habit's the more important part, because like if you can, if you can make the time that I have 35 minutes to go into my garage every time, then you can change what occurs during the time. The hard part is saying, I have the time. And if getting in there is the variable, then there's no shot at programming what you're going to do. Right? If it's like, oh, this week I got in there on Monday and Friday and the next week I

didn't get him for nine days. And then I got there on Tuesday and Wednesday. And so you can't run a program off of that, right? But if you can get the time down, then you can build what you're after over it. So in the way, what he said to me is basically you're taking the four, main lifts, right, and splitting it up similar to what we've talked about in the past, like do one of those each day. And then he has a supplemental exercise.

So for example, like on Mondays is my leg day. So I always start off with the main lift. So I do squats first thing and get that out. That way if somebody wakes up or something happens, hey, if I at least did the squats, then everything else is gravy on top of that. Sure. child talk. So yeah, so I was kind of like, I do squat and then my next day is a press day.

And then my next day is a pole day, which I will do like either a deadlift or a bent over row or barbell row. And then go to the other press day, which is overhead press, first one being bench press, right? And then I will usually do like a heavy deadlift day, like by itself. Think you're on the right track. Just keep going. Yeah. So that's kind of what it is.

So, yeah, so far so good, man. I kind of, after I've taken breaks in the past, I would kind of ease back into it. And then, I don't know, I've kind of started heavier than usual after coming off a break. So for me at least. Yeah. But no, so far, going pretty good, man. Hell yeah, brother But yeah, no, I didn't see any videos

Because I broke Jeff's computer last week So no way It's fine We got it in a third echelon maintenance It's back here, we're good Yeah, we swapped it out Just Take it up all just memory

Yeah, some of those viruses I'm sure we're in there Yeah, that's what I forgot We can talk about the How's the 50 Cal Challenge leaderboard looking. 50 counts. Yeah. No, that's a good one. Good. We totally missed that last week. We're the worst.

Like the number one thing that we should be noting. We forgot. I blame Trey. Let's see. We got 25 submissions so far. We got three dudes under a minute. We're going to give him some shoutouts here. Olatio Fabulohe.

If I messed that up, sue me, bro. You did it. I'm a great attempt. You're at a low Kapananos, Jim in Austin, Texas, 33 years old, did in 56 seconds. James. Brandon Doyle

of a Doyle rules barbout club, firefighter type, 37 years old. My age, I get that. He did it in 57 seconds. Not to be confused with Jake Heidenreich, I think from the Third Reich,

from Hayden Strength, Jim. He did in 59 seconds. Z. Kyle. So you got three dudes. under a minute. I got that joke. And then you got Big Jake. I want to give you the top five here.

Big Jake from Steel Beach, Watertown, Connecticut, 40 years old, minute and three seconds. And then Tanner Baird on this third attempt, Tanner's really working at it. 39 from Asinomics gym at a minute and six. I think he thought he was getting somewhere. And these two just came out.

We got a total of nine under two minutes. lot of Marines showing up, Lieutenant Colonel Andy Horn fact, Major Dan Martin, Lieutenant Carroll, Dan O'Connell showing up. Yeah, so it's been pretty fun. Lieutenant Colonel Jody Cooley down there. I still think his time is wrong. He said the screen and the bike didn't work, so he used his watch. And I'm like, something's off. I guarantee you you have better than a 404. But here's the deal. If you have access to an assault bike, a rogue, echo bike, go to the 50 Cow challenge, go to the okay podcast.com, click 50 Cow challenge,

submit your time. When we get to 100 submissions, everyone's going to get an email. And at a minimum, I'll tell you right now, the email's going to result in that you get a cool sticker, 50 Cal sticker. It's also going to end up in some other promos and stuff for you. So I don't care if you get five minutes, six minutes, seven minutes, check your ego at the door, just go do it, submit your email. Early submissions are going to do better than later. I think this thing will grow beyond much beyond 100. But go do the 50-cow challenge and save some loot.

I've been wanting to redo it. I got a 239 on the board. And I think that's what gave me an upper respiratory infection. It's been about 14 days that I've been sick, been the longest term that I've been able to work out. Maybe we'll talk about that here in a second. but yeah go out there do the 50 cow challenge get free stuff and it's free and it's fun how do Kaylee feel after she's still coughing up the flim she had a little bit of a cop she still a little

cough going today but I think it I don't I don't think it's going to turn into an upper respiratory infection no it's what do they call that exercise induced bronchitis EIB. I'm well aware of this is a childhood asthma guy. There's a lot of exercise-induced asthma, which they've now just turned into EIB, exercise and induced bronchitis. But they do say when you take your heart rate up that fast,

you are more susceptible to get sick right after. But they also say you get like the exercise cough where you're like hacking up slim. slam. Yeah. And this is definitely one that could do it to you. But people are having fun with it, which I love. Trey, you got a bike in your garage?

Not yet, man. Well, I don't make money on bikes, so don't buy one. But if I did, I'd sell you one. Somebody's got one somewhere. I got a good idea for your company of what y'all should make. Oh, man. Here we go. I love it.

I'll get with you on a sidebar. Oh, off line. Yeah, get it offline. Offline. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, hey, listeners, stay tuned for a new product dropping from the Strength Co. You know, I'm sure he'll have it rolled out in the next, like, three or four weeks. It's probably pretty simple. Two females on the list so far.

What's the fastest one? Jeff's wife. My wife. My wife. My mother. My mom got 823. that's pretty good no it is I actually so having there was a time in my gym this has been five years ago that I had every gym member do it so over a hundred people a lot of people were not sub 10 and so I think what's scaring people right now away from this leaderboard is you're seeing the 56 to 57 so whatever and even like me like 239 they're like whoa and they go and they log a five minute they're like I don't want to log it brother we don't care we want to send you a free sticker i actually think you got more balls if you have a four minute

plus and you post it because you're like yep went and tried the dang thing um so don't check your ego at the door these these weirdos in the top fives your olotayos and your brandons and your jake jakes and tanners and jakes there's a lot of jakes up there sounds yeah sketchy yeah seems like a little too many jakes yes me up there yeah too many yes let's try to get up there you to Jeff B's right around are there two Jeff B's two Jeff B's hold on two seconds oh it seems sketch only one of those is mine Jeff wants two stickers I'll never he yeah he has two stickers it's always we got.

All right. What else we got? Oh, we got so many topics. All right. It's going to be kind of, yeah, miscellaneous grab bag of topics here. Talked about the leaderboard. Strength Co. Baptisms.

I think that was one in the last week's rounded topics. So, yeah, I want to make sure you hit that one. PJ went back up. Michael Buck. Lockley, long time listening to show, Ventura Meat Company. Go to VenturaMeetcompan.com.com. If you're in California, go up to Ventura. If you're in Orange County, it's actually worth a day trip. Go up and see like a real butcher, a guy that buys the cows. I don't even know how to sell it.

I'm not a butcher and cuts them all up. It's a really cool shop. There's a couple good restaurants you can eat up there. It's an hour and a half drive. I don't know. Go up there for the day if you're an OC. I know we got OC listeners. go see Ventura Meat Company. But my buddy Michael Buckley met him in 2020 at a Starring Shrink Seminar trains with a seminar online system ever since. He got baptized, sent me a photo.

He's like, I got baptized in my Shrenko T-shirt. And I was like, awesome. And I replied back to him of Diana getting baptized, I don't know, four years ago. And I said, Diana got baptized in his Tranko T-shirt. Like, awesome. And then old PJ sent me

screenshot. I said, finally got baptized. Rose, he got baptized in a strength coat t-shirt. Send me a photo. P.J. got baptized in a strength-coe t-shirt. So there's three baptisms to date and a strength coat t-shirt. If you don't have a strength-co squat tea, you could call it a strength-coq baptism tea. Just buy that tea.

Dual purpose. You know, I'm a submersion guy, but for the sake of the t-shirt, if you want to do a little sprinkle, like I'm all about it. Get you a Strength Coe t-shirt and go get baptized. There we go. Free baptism with every t-shirt sold. Yeah, free baptism.

Yeah. Joel Olstein Brogie over here. That's good stuff. That's good stuff. Okay, what's the ID card center? We got to update with... Oh, bro. did we talk about it?

We talked about it. Yeah, I feel like a couple of episodes ago. Coast Guard base going. Ooh, I don't know if we hit that. Do we hit the Coast Guard base? I don't know. I don't know. Start. I'll give the short.

If we hit it before, Trey, do you remember if Jeff and I don't remember that's normal? We're majors, but do you remember? Did we talk the whole thing about how I couldn't get an appointment to get an ID card? We did talk that. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So anyway, I get the ID card. I go to the Coast Car base.

I got let Tray back in and he got kicked out. Oh, there's Trey. We got video. Did we talk about ID cards before? No. Confident. We didn't talk about like not be able to get an appointment and having to go to a coach car base. We did talk about that. Yes. Yeah. Okay. So I just top, cherry on top. Get the ID card. Right. So go through the whole thing. Get paid zero. dollars drive an hour over here waiting an hour over there get the idea love being reserved

get the idea come back all the work that needs to be done that i don't get paid for go to log in can't log in you need a new sar just went through this okay so i like call the com chief i'm off work sir we had an early day today i know it's only 3 30 p.m on the east coast but we worked last saturday can you send me the sard no sir i can't access my government email from a whole big deal get the sars send the sars and it's like i pete higsef just hear me out there are reservists that are trying to do work for you and he's in the guard right or he was right yes it is so difficult like it is Why do you make this so hard on us? Yeah, it was really frustrating.

So I got the new ID card and then it literally took me 10 days, 10 days to be able to plug the new ID card in and do anything. And also, by the way, as a reserve us, if you leave the net for 10 days, everything's on fire. Everything is blown up. Why haven't you finished this fit rep? Do you understand? Anyway, I digress. Also, why do you reach out through other means of communicate? Yeah, other means to communicate.

Like, if I'm a reservist, my dot mail is like, I will check it, but definitely not as frequently as I will check a text message, a signal message. I usually learned anything. My number one thing I've learned is a reserve officer is check it every day. You have to check it every day. Always double tap. But it's like I was out of the net for not. It was unbelievably difficult.

And I was extremely motivated to make it work. And it's like, imagine if you had someone else. Anyway, that it goes. All right. No, that was me. I rolled in. I rolled in, I had like an earlier-ish flight on Thursday. We had a drill that weekend or this last weekend.

And I was like, okay, I'm just like, I can't check into the hotel or whatever, but I got some stuff I got to wrap up. fit rep wise. So I'll just go in, like knock that stuff out until it's time to check in for the hotel. Go in there. Like, nope, your

search aren't like authenticated anymore. So I had to go through the whole thing where like my account was expired. You got lost Alamitos? No, so I had, like, my cat card was good, but I had to then resubmit the SAR because like the account had expired.

So I like get with the, the data, like the staffs are in the hands of all, like, the data stuff. So, like, we get all that submitted. And, like, you know, it's Thursday morning. It, like, starts to work its way down the chain. But like this thing, it's not going to be approved until, I don't know, it still isn't, it still isn't through. But. Yeah, of course not.

Why would it? So basically, I had no computer access all through a weekend. But so not got a lot of favorites on my phone, which was great. Super useful for an officer. So I actually refused to. logging MOL without my cat card. I'm like, nope, you don't give me access. I'm not going in.

It's not doing it. Yeah, it's great. Let's see. This is also in, we're wrapping up a lot of stuff. These are saved rounds from last week. Brian Swanson, YouTube. Oh, yeah. Brian Swanson, some YouTube guy had a video. I'm on the thumbnail.

So it's like they're lying to you. was about strength benchmarks. Oh. People send it to me. And a couple people were fired up about it. And then I watched the video. And I think they just saw the thumbnail and got mad, which is a businessman is like,

it's making me think that you might get the reaction you want, just from the thumbnail. I watched the video and he's basically like, hey, I'm pulling this video from the strength. where this guy talks about strength things. And then he rips on everyone in the comments. So the comments, so I say in there, like, you should be able to squat your body weight for five.

You should be able to deadlift your body weight for five. I think most men can deadlift, you know, 365. I think most men can bench press 225. Like I say, a bunch of like, and then the comments people roast me and then he roast the comments people. And so Brian Swanson, I got nothing against them. Decent video. Thumbail worked.

Pissed off my fans. Also to my fans, thank you for being pissed off. But yeah, no, I think I think it was a fine video. Unless I missed something. If I miss some fans, let me know and I'll go on and do a reaction. Okay. Where are the nudes? That was the question you put in here?

It was in reference to what y'all were talking about when I jumped on. And you're like, oh, yeah, he's going to send it to me. And I was like, good to send you what? And then there's no nudes. And there was the pictures of the screenshots of what Connor like wrote out. Oh, so should I put a check mark next to where are the nudes? Because we talked about it. Yeah, we just talked about it.

Check. No, let's make the save round for next week. We'll hit up, Connor. We'll have him just show up nude on the podcast. Why are you talking about no country for old men, dude? We have been, that is like got to be the oldest topic of our entire relationship. I can picture myself in like 2013 pre-Afghan deployment laying in Carl's bed watching no country for old men with you. I was saying, I watched it.

What else could we possibly freaking talk about? I've watched it 4,722 times. And I have also, but it never gets old. I watched on the plane again going to drill or started it on the way out and then finished it on the way back dude that movie's that movie's great like every scene is great

the hunt at the beginning just the like the dogs I feel like all those characters that play all like the kind of like Texans like the guy that's the gas station clerk like the lady they all seem so stupid I'm like that's so unbrand

that's how he started when I was talking to my grandmother mother when that movie came out? Uh-uh. And she goes, yeah, they filmed some movie out here and, I can't remember the guy's name.

He called him. And Mike was in it. And I was like, what movie? He's like, no country for old men? It's the guy who gets killed in the car.

Oh, dude. Is, was from Fort Stockton, Texas, apparently. So, dude, I feel like a lot of those characters. Like,

the lady that's the- Who got filmed in the car? Like early on? Probably that first. guy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, sir, you need some help. Step out of the car.

Call it. Step out of the color. Step out of the color. So the best part about no country from old men is so good. He doesn't listen to this podcast. He guaranteed. The sergeant major Brian Himbert

and we would go when Jeff I'm going to name a bunch of people here. Or TIGA didn't drill there, but he did pick us up there a lot. But when Jeff, Shawnee one time, one more, shiny one more. I always call him one time and he says it's Shawnee one more. I said, one time's better. That means something's going to happen.

But Johnny one more, Jeff and me would go to the Holiday Inn on what's that road in Texas? Cherry Lane. Cherry Lane. It's a holiday and express. and I swear to God, the guy behind the counter looked exactly like, yeah, call it, call it. Like he was, he had the hair,

like the shirt, he would like sit in like weird places in the lobby. Oh, you'd come out of nowhere. You'd walk in to check in and you'd expect him to be behind the counter and he'd be like over by the business computer. And it's like, and he'd be like, call it. This is your lucky Nick. Habbard would always just

say, every time I check into this reserve drill, I feel like it's no country for a little. And he was not wrong. Dude. Yeah, that movie's great. Although I was misremembering something so

why would I go to Odessa? I always had it in my mind that it was the main characters, well, debate who the main character is but Josh Brolin's like mother-in-law the old lady but no it's the wife when they're like it's the wife

yeah yeah she's like Odessa why don't we go to Elsa great movie glad we relive that thanks Jeff we can do that every we can do that every week I could watch that movie every week I'm gonna watch it tonight I love that movie I love it

okay okay well let's have you guys getting i have had 20 spam calls today no like no joke 20 spam calls today i feel like last week kaley was getting like crazy spam calls is anyone else getting just like a ridiculous uptick in spam calls i get spam text a lot okay okay i get a lot of spam calls and text i actually reply to the text immediately my texts are usually right with and lately they all

annoy me. They're like from the ghost of Charlie Kirk. Wait, is that really what they say? I don't know if that's spam. I think they're like Charlie Kirk's dead. Yeah, I

I yeah, right wing texts have really annoyed me lately. So I just stop all those. I get a lot of spam calls. This is going to sound

super gay. I think I'm allowed to say gay and retarded these days. But I have my phone rings, a gym, a warehouse, and my phone. Okay. And amongst the three, I get a lot of spam calls.

And a lot of them are real. But I always just assume it's because like I'm in business and my numbers everywhere. Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. But I do get a lot of spam calls. And I usually like to answer them. And it's like, hello.

I'm looking for manager. And I go, oh, no, he just got fired. Yeah, it's my entertainment. If you're Indian on the other side of the call, I'm going to have fun with you. I'm sorry. It's just that goes. See, I have.

The spam text I've gotten recently is that, like, the person doing the spamming will send out group text messages. I get some of those. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I find those to be the most enjoyable, because there's always, like, out of the 50 people in the group text message, there's always, like, five people. Somebody that bites off. Well, no. So there's, like, five people who, like, will just start messing with the person. Oh, okay.

Quite entertaining. Yeah. I like it. yeah what it is my numbers out there somewhere numbers out there somewhere I just do a quick bit do it

maybe PJ takes this turns into a YouTube video or maybe he tells me I need to expound more but I have been very sick I have been not the sickest I've ever been I think I've been closer to death in my life before

with asthma early on or maybe with a bad fever. But I have been the sickest for the longest duration that I have been in a long time. I have a video from a few years ago where I say the only time that you don't train is you have a fever, is if you have a fever. And I kind of stand by that video. I stand by the sentiment of that video. but I don't stand by the practicality. The sentiment of that video was if you have a stuffy nose,

a headache, you know, something doesn't feel good, you go to the gym anyway, and a fever is a sign that you have a real infection and therefore you don't go to the gym. I have lived by that video because I said it. And about 10 days ago, I was diagnosed with the upper respiratory infection. I was given some medication to help me sleep at night

and a cough suppressant and mostly I felt pretty good. Went to the gym one day, squatted. The gym did not feel good. So I kept it pretty conservative. I think I did 275 or a couple cents five and I left the gym and that was it.

I thought, I did something. I'm a winner, right? I'm doing good. I'm not being a VITCHH and I'm lifting. following day, I went to go back and again, still had the cough, still had the respiratory deal. I deadlifted 335 for a set of five. I think it did two sets of five. I know I did two sets of five. Then I pressed 165 for two sets of five. Had a couple members in the gym. They said, how you doing? You sound like you have a cough. I said, yeah, I got this cough,

but, you know, it's not serious. I don't have a fever. I'm going to lift. This is what I do. And the members left the gym. And I went to the bathroom and I projectile vomited for five minutes, everything in my system. And it was my body telling me, you can't do this. And so then I have continued to deal with this upper respiratory infection for a few days.

and it was a non-productive cough. It seemed like it was nothing. I felt pretty good during the day. At night when I would sleep, there was nasal drip. So it was tough to sleep. So I didn't live for a few days. And then I went back to the doctor today. So I think I'm on like day 11 of it.

And they're like, yep, your viral infection has turned into a bacterial infection. Here's a bunch of steroids. Here's a bunch of not muscular types, you know. Oh, dang. Anti-inflammatory types. Here's been steroids.

Here's some antibiotics in here is an inhaler. You sound like you can't breathe. I'm like, yeah, I can't breathe. So why am I telling you all this? I'm telling you all this that my new, I have a new thing. I know that I said, if you have a fever,

the only time you don't let you is don't fever. I now think that if you have something below the throat, it is different. And I can tell you, this entire sickness is 12 to 14, whatever I've been in. I have felt like this demon. It has lived in me. I haven't named it,

but it's down there. Somewhere in my upper respiratory system. I'm kidding. but I have felt like a thing. Like when you cough, you're like reaching down and trying to pull something up. And I think if you have something down there,

you can't lift. And I think I proved it twice. In both times, I felt very poorly. I think that I potentially brought on the further sickness by trying to lift. I think if it's a head cold, sinus allergies, gay, whatever, dumb stuff in your face,

yes, you can lift. But if it is affecting down beneath the throat and into your respiratory system, I actually think that you shouldn't. And I'll let you know how the recovery is. It's super frustrating. I thought that I'd be able to just power through it and here I am, hamstring by it.

Anyway, that's the video. Yeah, it's been my excuse, too, why I haven't lived in so long. Dang. Because you're gay? Yeah. Yeah. That's what I thought. Super gay.

Super gay. Trey, tray, tray, tray. Gay, gay, gay. Yeah, got it. May the fourth over Cinco to Mayo, you don't really believe that. No, I just want to get you going. Hot take. Hot take.

Take. May the fourth. What a gay holiday. May the fourth. Did you participate? Oh, great. It was sending me so much Star Wars content. I don't know how to participate. Yeah, you watch Star Wars. I woke up to like a Gandalf. Excuse me. A Gandalf gift from Jeff. Like, nose to mouth or, I don't know, what was Capi? Yoda. Yoda. Yeah. Gandalf. Gandalf. He is the Gandalf of Star Wars. He is true.

I mean, that is a pretty solid analogy. Not a Star Wars guy. Yeah, you're a big May the Fourth guy. May the Fourth be with you. I actually was waiting on the antibiotics day and went into a sandwich shop and a board brew. You've been there in Carl's bed. Oh, I love Board and Brew. So I went to Board and Brew and I was like, hey, I went a half a Tom sandwich.

And I'm drinking Dieter. come sick. And some guys come in, they're like, hey, what did you do for May the 4th? And the bartender's like, oh, man, I totally forgot to watch Star Wars. And the guy's like, are you serious? And the guy's probably 10 years old.

And me, he's like, I watched episode one and two. And he goes, and the guy that's the bartenders, probably my age, he goes, well, like, you get to realize, I like grew up with like episode like three, four, and five. And I was like, were those like the Taco Bell cups? And he's like, huh? I'm like, I don't know. I grew up. There was like a Taco Bell cup, like a monopoly.

He's like, whoa. Yeah, probably. I was like, so did you like go home and watch Star Wars last night? And he was like, no. And the old guy was like, bro, I watched all of them. I was like, wow, this is a thing. This is a thing. What episodes I grew up? No, I grew up with one, two, and three. Correct. Yeah, yeah, one two and three. Luke Skywalker.

He acts like he doesn't love it. He acts like he didn't watch all the Star Wars yesterday, but we know it. You know it would be, yeah, you know, it would be a big hit. Have you ever seen, like, mystery science? theater 3 000 yes yes great no no it's not you would actually like it that question was not towards you oh thanks yeah we should appreciate we should do that but just have it as grant just watching these movies giving his commentary yeah that pretty good for star wars it's like a the shit the mystery science theater was like it's a movie but then like in the foreground

is like these three I think it was like a robot, a couple aliens or something like that. And they would just like, they would like comment on the movie because usually it was like a bad movie that they'd be watching. And so they would make like snarky comments and things like that.
