we had some some weird charges on there. Looks like the sergeant majors running up a Canadian tab. Uh, um, kind of broke up there.

Sorry, Major. Are you saying that you were charging your grocery runs? for your it tofe and your and your jambilize. You cannot be putting that on the government travel charge card. That is not authorized purchase. I've been eating at the kicking crab

almost every week. Okay. I'm sorry. I just can't get over the cage of the town. Okay, great stuff. S one. Let's move it on over to the two shop. Sorry, Major, did you have anything else

Sargent's major, Creole and non-Creol types. commanders, staff, and trash battalion members. I just got here. The last guy went to A&S. I just want everyone to know that I am 0302. I'm a ground intel officer, which means I could run snipers.

And the straight of her moose, I've been told to brief whether it is open or closed. The straight is currently closed because the stock market is also closed. second news. Closed. Okay. Now, are you getting that?

Are we getting that Intel open source from is the straight of Hormuz open.com? Yes, sir. That's my homepage and I just refresh it. And it always just says no. We've tried to buy the domain so that we control the messaging. It's currently not for sale. Did I mention I'm an 0302 and really good at the 50th Cal Challenge? and the straight is currently closed.

Nothing for the group. Great brief. Hey, dudes, this is a assignment. It's a assignment. We can go ahead and buy that domain with that government charge car. Isn't that right? I'd have to ask the four, sir. Yeah, go ahead and do that.

Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Take a little week of leave on me.

I'll just interject. This is the compt trodler. That's a negative start major. Respectfully, respectfully, of course. I don't believe

that is a authorized purchase, but we will look into open purchasing the domain of Is the straight of Horpersopen.com? Hey, there, comptroller. I got the 8999 symposium down in Louisiana

next month, and I'm going to bring this, this this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, uh, this, this, uh, frig down down there.

Because I don't think that if, if, if we It'd be eating the kick and grab Creole down in Louisiana on the bayou. We sure dang on better be able to get the straightest you more move out. What are you called? What are you called? The straight of Louisiana? What, what's your?

Home moves. Straight of home. Home moves. Is that like in the Gulf of America? Very different. Very, very different. But in this case, close enough. Yeah, we should be able to buy it.

Hey, Lieutenant, come by, see me. I can leave. good to go sorry Major I'm good to go good to go hey great stuff for uh

you know we're making a lot of sausage here in this brief that's great stuff though it's great stuff that's called what we call sausages and dole sausage

and dole sausage there's a here okay all right that's a that boon sausage Losea star

Okay, great. OBS Yep, we're also, so we've set up a tracker that's tracking our ability to purchase the straight, is the straight of Ormoos Open.com. We will get,

Intel will drive the updates that we make to the tracker, right? Because Intel drives operations and operations and logistics need to be nested. So if the S4, this is a hot tasker for you, if you can just figure out the purchase plan for is the straight of Hormoosopen.com,

I think that would be an excellent addition to our ability as a battalion. So, yeah, with that, nothing further from ops. I'd like to kick it over to the S4. That's you, Trey. The perch plan, Roger. Yeah. I think we're losing sight of our main goal here is which is picking up trash.

A lot of trash here. We had a little crawfish boil this week, and there's a lot of shells from the little mudbugs running around. We need to be sure we're throwing those away. I would like to get a working party organized. But let's get back to these dumpsters. Yeah, dumpsters have been returned. We are pretty much 80% on dumpsters right now. it should be 100% hopefully by next year, sir.

Phasmo is still on my radar in the next three to five years. Just looking forward to that. That's all I got for the group. Thank you, sir. Hey, trash five here. Good brief. Good brief, four. Thanks for getting us back on track.

One question from the three shop. Did you go ahead and go into the dumpster update folder on teams? You'll see that under, it's under S3. and then under the current operations folder. And then under that folder, it'll be under the FY26 current operations folder. And then inside of that, you'll find an Excel document. Is password protected? I will get offline with you and email you the password,

but we need to get that dumpster status updated in the tracker. Because if we're not tracking it, then it's not happened, okay? Hey, real quick, it's Trash 5. And that's under, if you back out all those folders, that's under global force management. That's the number one mission of trash battalion before trash is global force management. So make sure you're inside global force management. Hey, thanks, three.

Appreciate you, brother. No, hey, brother. That was great, great call out to bring it all and see the big picture. I got you back, brother. Yeah, oh, that's good stuff. Yeah, thanks, brother. Thanks, dude. You don't play pickleball later?

Oh, dude, yeah, for sure. All right, sweet. Okay. Gay. Who said that? Who's saying gay? Who's setting up? Oh, man.

Okay, let's take it over to medical. It sounds like we got a couple people in this brief with a cough, so I don't know, maybe medical you want to talk to them or speak to things they can be injecting. I don't know. Good afternoon, sir, staff. This is chief. I've been at my mess,

and then when I got out of my mess, I had, I was in my locker. And then when I got out of my locker, I was in the goat locker. And then when I got out of the goat locker, I've actually, we've been doing chief days. We've been initiating some chiefs. But a lot of talk about the Hatton virus and things shrinking up to three inches. That's not true. We would like you to come get your flu shot. Currently, all of the flu vaccines we have expired in 2022, but I reached out to division.

and they said they should be fine. They said it's just like the COVID vaccine that we forced everyone to take. We actually don't know what's in these vials. We just shoot them in there so that we can have you sign a roster and then we look good on the G1 report card. So we're going to do a flu shot rodeo, not to be confused with the dental rodeo next week. You need everyone to come by.

We're going to publish that we're open till 1600. But as you send your Marines over, remember whatever we publish, there's like a two-hour chow window that's not published. And if we said 16, that means 14. So really we want you to send all 1,200 Marines to the flu shot rodeo at 08. So they can stand out in the sun outside the chapel all day and do nothing. And they won't cut for chow at noon. And then right as everyone gets back in line, we'll just close early because the medical team has training.

Outside of that, nothing further for the group. wash your hands, change your socks. Hey, chief, thank you. Appreciate what you all do over there. You know, it's a blue green team,

one team, one fight. We got to stay integrated. I appreciate that. Okay, took the words right out of my mouth. Three, appreciate it.

Blue green relationship. Remember, that's number one, one team one fight. All right. I appreciate you there, chief. Boo-ya,

boo-ya. I was on the, I was on the Gerald Ford one time. They've been on a long deployment right now. I've been on the USS Gerald Ford, Chief. I know all about the goat locker. Ha ha.

Hey, great stuff. If you free this weekend, I'm going on to Sergeant Major's house. He's cooking up some booty. And I get a free leave. Can't give me Navy leave, but you bring some of them gunnies by. See what's Sergeant Major, ain't that right? Oh, yeah. Oh, go down here in the bay you giving out free lead down here.

Oh, he don't want to cook us on good board in this weekend. No. This is the adjutant. Just interjecting real quick. I don't. Just all this talk about giving out leave. I'm going to have to look up the order to see if this is a possibility. I'm just confused.

Hey, you don't know what? You don't worry about that, Edge. I got to quit my discharge card. Edge, this is trash five. Shut up. Okay. Sergeant Major gives leave out. That's what he does.

Shut up. Okay. Okay. Stop talking. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Okay. All right, great stuff. More like, bully battalion. Great stuff.

That's the most accurate. That's the most accurate five, I think I've ever heard. I appreciate you stepping in there, brother. Hey, sideballers to a minimum. No problem. Second lieutenant was getting out of line. Appreciate that, brother. Appreciate that. You got to keep them in line.

Shut. All right. Okay, outline stations. I think we had a couple check in. Let's go down here. All right, we got Big Daddy Sean Shepard, a.k.a. Billy Martin, aka Trash 6-9.

It says, check it in from the MFR Mecca down on the bayou. In between my jambalaya lunch and a sausage and Creole gumbo dinner. Is this real? I mean, he does, when he's in a drilling status, he does. No, no, I mean, is this? Is this? Oh, he really did say. Did he like that?

Jamalaya. Oh, hey, yeah. Shardin, Shepard, you get some time, have some pudding for us. I don't know. There's stuff sausage. Shana Shabba, simple gumbo. That can't you. All right.

We got another. Tarn virus. Okay, another outline station checking in. I think this is, I don't know if he's in a drilling status or not. But I believe this is a good lieutenant. tenant ring here. Good dude. Oh, Shaley Whaley.

he just he's like I don't have an echo bike or a fan bike on Tommy you're a guy that visits like 19 home gyms a week you're telling me you don't stumble across a echo bike on your gym radar. Just takes a couple minutes. Put the camera down for a couple minutes. Rip 50 calories. So if you live in Sioux Falls and you listen to this,

get in touch with Tommy from Masonomics. Have them come over to your garage. Do the 50 Cal Challenge. We should buy one as a podcast and just ship it to people. Oh, well, yeah, we got all this podcast money. Yeah, we have. All that podcast money we have. All that BW money.

Yeah, well, we'll just have BW big BW. By a bike. As for an advancement. Yeah. BW will be like, well, that's a tax write off. And it's like, well, I don't really have a revenue stream yet. So I don't know what we're writing it off.

We'll call it the BW bike. I don't know. I feel like that you go. Yeah, the BW challenge. Yeah. Yeah. Or strength goal. You can just make them one.

You can just make them a salt bike. Cast iron assault bike. Cast iron bike. It's just a statue. You have to pedal a lot harder than that. All right, all right. Enough joking around. Trey, been doing any lifting?

Yeah, so I lifted today. Man, I went to, so I'm in Tulsa, not Bishop. Ah. Oh, that's a whole different state. I wish I wasn't, wish I was in Bishop. But Oklahoma's like a lot of potholes, right? It's like Texas with potholes. Yeah, you've lived here.

Yeah, Tulsa, no, but. Oklahoma, yes. It's all the same. Yeah, so it's terrible. You've seen one, you've seen it all. You've seen one, yeah. You've seen a lot and you've seen them all. Nice people.

Great people. That's why they shoot things of the Red River. That's right. I was in a shootout. Right. And you got Tinker Air Force Base. Were you trying to talk to him? I did realize where the name Boomer Sooner comes from.

What does it come from? Comes from people that. that we're born in the 50s and 60s, and they bought a house for like $4. And by 1995, it was already worth a million dollars. And they were the boomer generation, and they became a boomer sooner than anyone else because they got rich off their $4 house.

Yeah. It's close. I believe it. Yeah, that sounds right. No, I was talking to a client today. and he gave me the whole history for it. We're actually talking with the Oklahoma City Thunder and he gave me the history of that.

Side note, I know we talk about lifting, but if we would get into it, I get to explain it to it. I would tell me about Boomer Sooner. Yeah. So, boomers, the Boomer Sooner came from, it was a, whenever they opened up Oklahoma, they literally said, hey, you can take land. So when it opened it up,

because it used to meet, like, all the Native Americans, they would have territories here. Then they pushed them. east and they said hey if you want to come settle this area you have to be here uh so you have to be on the kansas border and then when we say go at noon on this day then you can race down and first one like first one gets dives right way the native americans would race from the kansas border no no no no no this is the white people race in the white folk yeah oh oh so then there's some people who's Yeah, there's some people who snuck in early and hid in, like, ditches and just claimed the city of Oklahoma, like Oklahoma City.

That's where it comes from. And so they claimed it before everybody else. And I think it was like the, I can't remember. They were the boomers. That's where it came from because they got there sooner. I feel like it's the same thing that I said. I got to say, that's what I said. You're not far off.

With, with, like, modern day housing, you said it with Native Americans. It's the same thing. It's basically what you said, just, yeah,

your time, you said in the 50s, it was like 1850s. So, yeah, you're about, well, I'm talking about the modern day boomer sooners.

Yeah, you're right. The modern day cowboy. The remake of it, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like,

but then apparently Star Wars episode one. Exactly. Sure. Yeah. So then the, The city council in Oklahoma City was autonomous from the state, and so they could kind of do whatever they want.

And so back in the 60s, when they were testing out supersonic jets, they were needed a land to do it on. And Oklahoma City was like, yeah, come do it over here. So then they were flying these supersonic jets multiple times a day, and people thought it was thunder. So that's where Oklahoma City Thunder comes from. And that's when George Strait wrote the song, Thunder, hear the Thunder, Lightning, Thunder.

Thunder. George Strait wrote that for Imagine Dragons. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought that was chain smokers that's saying that. Just favorite Mormon band. Man, I'm killing it with pop culture right now. I know, man.

So, yeah, the question was lifting. Is that where you're? Yeah. You get listed? So I thought you asked about Oklahoma Boomer Sooner History. Hey, Trey, what do you know about Native Americans in the 1850s?

Yeah, so lifted, huh? Yeah. Yeah, no, I lifted today, man. I did press, overhead press was my overhead press day. Now, I went to a gym here in Tulsa Obtained Strength,

which I think I've been to before. What's it called? Pretty obtain strength. Obtained, like a Acquire, yeah. Okay. Really good gym. We've got a lot of machines, a lot of space. The only downside to this gym is the parking is terrible.

But no, man. Yeah, so did overhead press today? Just telling me you got a gym radar? No, I need to. You need to. Yeah. I'll go back there. About a day passed.

But yeah, no, did that today. Been lifting, I think, yeah. Saturday, Sunday, Monday. So far on a pretty good street. How much was the day pass? Say what? How much was the day pass? 20 bucks.

That's good. That's fair. I think I'm 25. That's about, yeah, 2025 is about like the going rate is what I've noticed. I think the most important part to a good day pass is, I think we've actually talked about this podcast for, but I think it's worth bringing up again.

the ability to purchase it and access to gym without having to talk to anyone. So this one was in the past I would have to talk somebody and like way for somebody coming to the front desk. This time it's all, it was all digital. So like I filled out the form, click day pass and then it just popped up like 20 bucks, scam my card and I walked in. It was easy. That's pretty cool.

I think they listened to our podcast, heard our complaint. Yeah, we did talk about that before, right? Yeah, that wasn't set one. We haven't talked on set. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, it's huge. I mean, so like mine, I guess you kind of have to talk. So mine, you have to, the IQ test is you have to find my website.

Click Open Gym. Then in order to buy Open Gym, you have to create an account, sign a waiver, and then give me $25 with your credit card. And if you, if you can do all those things, then you are allowed. to work out in the gym by yourself. If you can't do those things and you call or you start emailing and texting, then we don't think you have a high enough IQ to work out in the gym alone. And so therefore you can't.

But once you get a receipt, it pings like three of us. And it says, Tray Gagalas just bought Open Gym. And then we send you a text with the door code. So you technically do hear from someone. No. No, so yeah, lifting has been going pretty good, man. That's good. I did.

I think I posted, I think I had a couple questions. I think we actually got a couple lifting questions in there. You put a lifting question in there? I got a lifting question here too, yeah. Or a listener submitted one. Yeah. Oh, and then I post one at the bell as well. Bro, let it out.

Okay. All right. Let's do the last one, the one I just posted. Okay. So I'm curious about that. Fresh off the press. I'm going to wait until. It's actually.

Oh, yeah. Is he on? He's put on his co-chat. No, I don't know. Yeah, he's put on his co-chat. All right. Okay. You ready?

Yeah. Are you going to do the introduction? Are we just going to sit here? Oh, what are we doing? Yeah. Let me, let me read it. Let me see. Are we doing, we're doing, we're doing,

scroll the bottom. Press is lower. Yes. Yeah. Hey, guys, and welcome back. Scrant Brojy from the strength. recording live from the OK podcast. If you've never listened to the OK podcast, go check it on Instagram.

Go to www. The OKPodcast.com. And we talk lots of things about lifting. Make sure to like a subscribe to the channel. There you go. Jordy, you got an intro. Okay, Trey, read your question. Look at that.

So my press has, whenever I've run the novice program or any been lifting, doing this strength, strength code program, the Grand Broge program, my press has always the program has notoriously been lower than my other lips i guess like percentage wise so i usually and like i would probably kind of max out at like 185 right 185 maybe 190 is my PR potentially which for single five yes it's a five for a set of five so that's kind of where I stall out. So I guess what are some ways, if I'm looking like my bench is good, squats good, dead lifts good, but my presses, I got a poverty press, what are some ways that I can

increase that? Like, do you have any tips or tricks for that? Yeah. So, I mean, I think a couple things that the lifter slash listener needs to understand when think about this. So you say, my press is much lower than my other lifts, right? And you say percentage-wise, but I think you already understand this, but I'll make this like very clear for people. Your squat and your deadlift use way more muscle mass.

And therefore, you were able to use or lift way more weight when you do those exercises. The press has the longest kinetic chain of all the lifts, kinetic chain being from where force is applied to where the bar finishes at lockout and rest, right? So when your elbows are locked out over your head, the bar is then, over your head as your traps are shrugged out, the point of force application will be your feet on the floor. So the bar is a really long distance. And because of that, that means you're gonna be able to do less weight. Think about where the bar is in the deadlift

as you're standing up, right? Because your hands are extended down below you. Think about where the bar is, even on your back when you squat. The press, it's much higher because it's locked out. So that's less muscle mess. Secondly, there's a lot of stability that's happening to press between your abs, core, right, for you like not to fall over at the top, which means that you're going to, they're keeping you in balance, but they're not necessarily contributing a bunch.

They are some, but contributing in a bunch into upward, you know, the pressing of the bar. That is your shoulders and your upper pecks and your triceps that are making that happen. So the press is always going to be the weakest lift of the big four. The bench press, you get to lay down on a bench. Your body is supported by the bench. That's what I'm making the point with the press of your core being involved and your quads being involved into like stabilizing for you to even use your upper body to press the bar.

When you're laying on a bench, the bench is doing all that for you. Now, can you use the rest of your body to help when you're laying down on a bench? Yes, we actually advocate for this. We advocate that you wear a belt when you bench. We advocate that you're driving your feet correctly into the floor when you bench press to incorporate more muscle mass. But no matter how you slice it, the bench is doing a bunch of work of stabilizing that allows you to overload the bench press much more than the press. Okay. So first, you need to understand that your deadless is probably going to be the heaviest for some people to squat, but for most people the deadlift to have is than the squat by a large margin because it's way more muscle mass involved in those two things.

then the bench is going to be like pretty close maybe to your squat. I mean, it shouldn't be close to your squat, but it's going to be, you know, if you're if you're squatting 300, you're probably benching, you know, 250, 240, 2.25, right? It's going to be close and you're been and you're pressing the least amount. So that's okay. Understand that thing one. Thing two, in order to make the press go up and to get rid of your poverty press,

although I'd make the argument that a 185 press is really good. Now, you do want to get, like, I think a really high-level goal, but attainable goal for most people is like a body weight press is really good, right? So for some people, it's like, hey, maybe need to lose some weight. But like pressing close to your body weight is a really, really good achievement for one rep, right? You're probably, most people are not going to do their five. Most people aren't going to do it for one. I'm talking lifters. It's attainable if there's a lot of training going on.

But in order to make your press go up, you have to press more, right? And so we've talked about new dad stuff. We've talked about you. Hey, I've talked about Conner's plan. I'm going to go into the gym, 35 minutes a day because that's the best that I can do. And it's better than doing nothing. And maybe he squats a couple sets one day. Maybe he presses the next day, dead lifts the next day, benches the next day. We're four days in and he does cardio the fifth day.

and he rest Saturday, Sunday, right? That guy's press is not going to go up. You can't go into the gym and press once a week for 30 minutes and add weight to your press. It's going to take more than that. It's going to take two, potentially three press sessions a week. I did a video recently designed for the novice lifter, meaning the person that is doing the basic starting strength program right now

and get stuck on the press. the first time. This is not you, Trey. You're more of an intermediate lifter because of your history of strength training, even though you go through periods where you are not consistent. And when you get back into the gym, I tell you to do the novice program so that you can have, you can add weight to the bar each time. You are still different than the rank and file novice that does not have a training background. A guy with no training background cannot press 185, right? Unless he's a 300 pound kid from Nebraska. But in any of it, you probably

need two to three sessions. So I have the video on, hey, this is my fives are stuck. I had you go to triples. Go watch the video. Jordi link it right here. There's that video. But the main takeaway would be how do I get my press up in general?

One, my press is going to be much lower than my other lifts and that's okay. And then two, I've got to press more frequently, potentially two to three times a week. And one of them needs to be an intensity day. Intensity is relative to my one rep max, right? So how much weight am I lifting compared to the most that I could lift?

So if something is very intense, then I can't do it for 10 reps. I can't do it for five reps, right? I can probably do it for somewhere between one and three reps because it's very close to my absolute strength capabilities. A volume day is, hey, it's heavy. I'm probably doing some sets somewhere between five and eight reps. And I'm doing probably five to six sets, mostly five by five is what we kind of teach in the starting strength, strong lifts, you know, typical basic strength training world. So I'm doing a bunch of tonnage, a bunch of doing 200 pounds for five reps.

I'm doing five sets. You multiply that and I'm putting a bunch of volume, systematic stress in the body. And so basically for the press to go up, you need one day of that a week, and then you need one day of super intense. And then the third thing that I would say that falls into the press is the press tends to get really stuck around the forehead.

I'm going to do a video, probably do something catchy like rackpoles are gay or something to get your attention. because I think that rack pulls, we think about them the same way as we think about the press sometimes. And we shouldn't. The press often gets stuck at the forehead. And so pin pressing is another way to make your press go up.

You basically put the bar on the pins, much higher than the start position. You're putting it to where it would be stuck. You're in a very mechanically disadvantageous position. and you are training the top end of the press, which is what people do in the rackball. Stay tuned for that video. Like to subscribe to the channel. That's not going to be a podcast out of it.

It's going to be. I'm going to put a lot of time into that video. But pin pressing also can be useful to make the press go up. But bottom line, if you get 185 pound press, which is a good press, I don't really care where your body weight is. You're 220 or 240. If you're pressing 185, it's a good press. If you want that thing to go up, you can't, you can't just do it once a week.

And I'm a guy that it's like, I think if you train for a long time, you end up with like default weights. So this is not a scientific term. This is, this is bro science. If you have trained for a long time and gotten strong, run an intelligent program, it doesn't matter. Like, you know, hey, I've squatted 500 pounds before. I've dealt with 600 pounds before. I've pressed whatever it is. You end up with these like weights that it's like, hey, it's.

always kind of challenging and slow for five, but I didn't sleep last night. My kid threw up on me. Someone robbed my house and I have a gun to my head right now. I can go press 185 for five, right? I can go squat 365 for five. I can go deadlift 405 for five, right? Because you've done all that work, it's like this strength that doesn't go away. You lift in the gym for for years and years and years and then you have this terrible virus for three weeks or you have this terrible business thing that happens to you and you don't get into the gym, your strength doesn't go back to zero. There's like this baseline of strength. And, you know, I think 185 is probably like where you're at.

And so you're, what, you're three weeks back into training kind of consistently again. I did not do 185 today. Yeah. You did not. That's like, no, that's usually like when I've run the pro. Yeah, I did. Yeah, that's my upper end. That's your upper end.

Yeah. What did you do today? So like today I did 145. 145, right? Yeah. So, I mean, basically you've worked in that range then of like 145 to 185. When you get to 185, it's like, hey, I get stuck. And the real answer is like, okay, I got to press more. I got to do singles, which would an intensity day be.

Right? I got to go in one day and press 200 for seven singles with three minutes rest, which takes 21 minutes just to like do seven reps, right? and most of the time, most people, they don't care enough or don't have the time to do that. And they're like, you know what? I'm happy with my 185 press. But the bottom line is when the press gets stuck,

you get pressed more. Yeah, who's the, what was the ladies that we interviewed at the Arnold? Jen Thompson. Thompson. I remember she said when we were asking about like tips and tricks for bench press, she said like, was it pin press? Is that what you called it? Yeah, she does.

That was like her goat. She does some of those. She does heavy holds. She does much stuff on the bench press. But that's exactly right. It's like when a lift fails, you have to look. Is it being stressed too much or is it not being stressed enough? With the press, nine times out of 10, it's not being stressed enough.

So then it says, okay, now I've got to press more frequently. Now I fix the not being stressed enough. I'm still failing reps. Where are you failing reps? I'm failing reps at this part of the range of motion. And I think that the press in a. and a competitive bench presser like Jen Thompson, right? We generally don't make our programs based off what the number one people in the world do.

Jen Thompson is the number one female bench presser in the world. So I love Jen Thompson. She's building a new gym in North Carolina, but I'm not going to recommend a lot of her tips. She actually distills down to the basic lifter, right? This is not anything bad at Jen Thompson. But some of her things, it's like, oh, that's what a very competitive bench presser does. that's not what I need 20-year-old kid to do, right? Bro, I need you to drink milk and just bench.

But with that said, if the press is stalled, you have added in more frequency, you've added in more intensity, and now you are missing reps at a particular point of the lift, then it's like, okay, do I want to do pin presses? Do I want to do halting presses where you overload and work the bottom, right? It's like some people are like, I can't, this is a very small population. This would probably be the point that I make with the rack pulls. Some people I can't get it above the eyebrows, but they can lock it out. Right?

Like you see this sometimes with people that have done a lot of Olympic weightlifting prior to getting into like basic strength training. So they've done so many, so many jerks, right, when she uses the knees, but then maybe they're crossfitter, they're not very good at and they're doing a lot of press outs to the tops. They're getting momentum for the bar to go up and they're shrugging hard and they're locking out. And so they actually have a really strong top end of the press. But now they're trying to strict press for the first time in their life for Olympic press. And they like suck out of the bottom.

That's a small population. But those are the cases that I think you need to look at those things. Interesting. Yeah. Good too. Great stuff. Do you want to do more lifting stuff? Always.

Okay. Okay. I do that back to our roots. Yeah, who's the, what was the listening question from the listener? Yeah, a question from our listener. How do you feel? You ready? Well, hang on.

Oh, yeah. Hey, guys, and welcome back. Scranto. And today, we're going to talk about should you do rotational, functional, functional, dynamic landmine presses in order to get strength and strong as you age. You can already tell what I think about this. Feel like the video, like, subscribe to the channel. That was it.

Okay. I'm ready for the question. Okay. So how do you feel about landmine movements, Rose presses specifically? Do those count as barbell exercises? Also, what are your thoughts on kettlebell get-ups? Or maybe it means like Turkish get-ups.

Always value your expertise. I've been trying to get some more rotational stuff in. I think it might help me from getting too old and brittle. Before I jump into that, any thoughts on that Jeff? I don't know. It depends on, okay, is the person already strong? Like, have they done, like, are they out of the novice phase of their, of their lifting

journey? And like, what are their goals for like lifting? If it is just to kind of like, get strong, stay strong and then get a little bit of like. Use their strength. Yeah, use their strength, right? Oh, they need to listen to the Massonomics podcast if they want to do that. but I mean I think it's got a place if it's something that they like really want to add in

they just you know if they're like but oh but I also want to like progress all my lifts it's just like it's going to it's going to take away from some it's adding in extra stress so therefore it's going to take more recovery and if you're getting older usually recovery is like the big thing as far as like what's you're battling in the gym so it has its place is it necessary I don't know i mean i guess there's not everything in the the big four lifts is pretty straight line so it might not hurt to throw in a little bit if it makes you feel good and you're not going to hurt yourself doing it to then get yourself out of the gym i say why not add it in for a little bit see how it goes you ever done landmine presses dry just i don't know probably i don't know what it's like

where you where you put that um There's like what looks like a barbell holder, an upright barbell holder, but it's on a hinge. And so you anchor the bar in and now the bar can can move on an axis. Yes, I have done those. Yeah. So he's talking about landmine presses and rows. You can stand to the side and do like a one-armed row with it. I'll just use a dumbbell.

Yeah. No, I guess here's where I'd fall. I think, Jeff, you mainly hit it. But should I do landmine presses in rows and do they count as barbell exercises? I mean, there's a barbell that goes into the landmine attachment. So, yeah, I guess they're a barbell exercise. I think an interesting part of the question is I'm trying to add in more rotational stuff so I don't get old and brittle.

I don't know if rotational there means, hey, I don't want to just do compound barbell, you know, systemic exercises and I want to rotate something in. So instead of the overhead, double, double overhand barbell press, I'm going to do a landmine press. I don't know if he means rotate like that or if he means rotational,

like grabbing the landmine and doing like, you know, a twist row or a twist barbell row or like that's the way I took it. That's how I took it as well. But I'm actually not sure what O.P as we. would call them said. But I think that my, here's my answer on landmine, landmine exercises, landmine presses and landmine rows or anything you do with the landmine, even the rotational stuff for the apps.

I genuinely believe my, you know, there's almost 40,000 people that watch this channel because we teach starting strength method and I believe that if you are weak, the best way to get strong is to squat, to press, to bench press, and to deadlift. If you are weak, and hear me out, starting strength is exactly what it is called. It is starting strength. That means you're weak, therefore you have to start strength. So if you are starting strength, those are the exercises that you could do. I think there's nothing better than the three sets of five on the first three that I mentioned,

one set of five in the deadlift and adding five pounds each time. Now, as you get stronger, do I think that the movement complexity, do I think an increase in the exercise complexity, exercise movement complexity needs to happen? No, I do not. I think that as you get stronger and your press gets stuck, as we talked about in the last segment, I do not think, hey, this thing is stuck. Now I need to add chains. now I need to add bands. Now I need to jump on boxes. Now I need to do more front squats.

Now I need to do sumo deadlifts. Now I need to do straight leg deadlifts. Now, do I think all of those things that I just said can be utilized within a program in order to continue to get stronger? Yes, I think it's all possible. There's a hundred ways to skin this cat. But I don't think it's required. And I think what happens is people get bored.

and so then they start hunting for stuff. I don't think doing landmine presses is ever going to make your press go up more than you doing the standard barbell press more is. I don't think that doing landmine rows and I will take off a little bit of my blue starting strength pill. I'll spit it out for a second. We'll make you better.

I'm not going to say deadlift. I'm going to say it barbell rose, right? maybe you barbell row because you want bigger lats and you want, maybe you're doing it with supine grip because you want bigger biceps and you're not even doing the barbell row because of you're trying to progress your deadlift because of starting strength and trying to get stronger. You're doing the barbell row for whatever reason is. I think a two-handed barbell row is always going to be more beneficial than a one-handed

landmine. Now, should you do them? Let me give you some example. I have a landmine press in my gym. When does the landmine press come in? Well, when people enter their fifth and their sixth decade, particularly if they have not taken care of themselves in the gym or taking care of themselves and being active, the shoulders do weird stuff. The scapulas do weird stuff and people end up with weird range of motion. And sometimes it is hard. to get people to be able to take a press overhead, lock out both elbows, get the bar back over the rotator cuffs,

and shrug the traps up. That could be a problem on the left side, could be a problem on the right side, it could be a problem on both sides. Sometimes you can't have them do that. Well, what do I want this person do? Do I want them to not press? No.

So we might have them landmine press and say, hey, for whatever reason, if I do a Viking-style press, which is where like I'm kind of my feet are back behind me and the bar is kind of forward. I can get my elbow locked out. I can get my shoulder shrugged up and I can actually do some weight unilatery on one side with no pain. So it's like, well, if I give you the 45 pound bar, 33 pound bar, 22 pound bar, whatever the bar is, even if it's a light bar, and I can't get you to lock out or if you do with both sides, it's painful. but I can load you 70 pounds on a landmine press

and I can work the right side than the left side. Hell yeah, brother, that's way better. And that's what we're going to do because we can do more weight and we can do it. Similarly, if there was some reason, maybe sciatic pain, maybe hip pain, maybe knee pain that you can't deadlift, you can't barbell row.

And I need to put you in a position where you can put your low back in extension and hold it rigid and still pull some weight. I'm basically describing a landmine row right now. Yeah, I think that's a totally great option. What I don't think is that you need to chase for these things just for fun. And I don't think that they should ever be, I don't ever think you should rotate out the squat,

any of the big four I don't think it's like well on Fridays I'm not going to deadlift so that I can land mine row now if you want to deadlift your heavy set a 315 by 5 and then go load up the

landmine and do I don't know five sets of 10 on each side go for it I think it's great I think it's great my problem is I don't have an because I work in a gym

I don't want to spend any more time in the gym. So I'm always trying to do things that put me in the gym as little as possible. I understand that I'm different than you. What it means is I never miss the gym because my livelihood is on the gym. But what it also means is I never view the gym as a hobby like you do. You view the gym as a hobby. I view the gym as a requirement. And so if you have the time after you do the necessary barbell movements that keep you strong and you, you, you, you know, you, you, you'll you want to go do landmine movements, whatever the case is. I'm all for it.

Like, I'm all for it. What I'm telling you is the big barba lifts for the novice and for the train person are going to be a better usage of time in general, less we're working around injuries. Hope this video help if did, like, subscribe to the channel. See you next up. I think I answered it for that guy, right? Yeah. Yeah.

And I think like if you're like... He texted it to me and I just wrote him back all caps. G-A-Y and he has no idea he has no idea that instead I did a 12-minute bit on the podcast I just wrote him back all caps G-A-Y

classic oh man the ducks lost well let's let's wrap up let's wrap up this topic and it's wait if it was an overtime

wife just texted me's lost Ah, hey, 3-2. YouTube videos aside, though, I think we answered that, right? I think so. Yeah. Sound pretty good. Yeah, boils that.

If you don't want to feel old and brittle, it's like just keep lifting. Keep lifting that barbell. Yeah. Keep doing squats. Keep just get stronger. And that guy's a Marine that sent that question in. I was training a lady today. and for you guys that just logged in for the Cajun barbecue

and Grant's lack of cultural experience. I'm sorry for all the lifting talk today, but my mother would like this podcast. I was training L.A. today. She's 67. She came in. Her son was Prior Navy. She's 33.

He told her to come in. He's got a baby under a year. She has a three. she has three sons. Her older son is two babies, I think, like three, and also another one under the year. She's got like three grandkids under three, right? Cry me a river, lady.

Let me tell you about Trey Gottlatch, okay? Let me tell you about not a grandmother. What a rookie numbers over here, huh? But anyway, no, she came in and she did great. She did great. We, you know, we squatted, I think 30 pounds for a set of five, press about 30 pounds. But I think back to the,

the Marines question about old and brittle. It's like one, brother, you're a Marine officer, and I know you can squat in the 300s, and like, you know, you're going to be fine. Don't worry about landmine presses. But at the same time, it's like, well, as I watch people lift, one, there's an element of resiliency that it's like,

man, like I watch people in their 70s deadlift 300 plus pounds all the time. Like, this is incredible. Like, you can maintain so much. human capability for so long into your life. At the same time, a lot of those people that are doing that in their 70s came to me in their 60s and it was like, wow, we got to change your life trajectory because you are almost incapable of doing everything. And it's always what I always tell them is I paint the doom and gloom story and I say, but

it doesn't have to be this way. You actually hold the keys to the castle. Like you can fix this, but you like have to come in and do the thing. So I was trying the lady today. I was super excited for her because she was, you know, I think she's deadlifted maybe 115, something like that. And I'm like, man, this is, you know, it's my mother. Mom, if you're listening, I mean, she's 67 this year. It's like she started lifting in 2019. It says she was 61 or 62 based on what time of year. was. I can't remember. And it's like different person. Like different person. And that affects grandkids and all that stuff. So yeah, get your parents to lift. Like you should lift and not be a miserable sack of poop trash, sack of trash. You should also like get your parents to lift

ASAP. Let's make them go to the gym. Tell them you're going to kill them if they don't go to the Jim. Mom, I'm going to kill you. You don't go to the gym. I'm going to shoot you. I'm going to blow up the house, Dad. Dad, I'm going to put a hose in your car. Okay?

Watch out, Dad. What kind of hose you need? I'm going to get, I'm going to get an air compressor with a hose from tray, and I'm going to pull you over, and I'm going to shoot. What is the no country for oldman guy even shoot at them? Like, is that just air? It's like cattle. Yeah, it's like a little.

It's something to. It's the coolest weapon of all the time. Yeah. If the tribulation, if the tribulation is the dispensationalist think it's going to happen and revelation goes down, that's the weapon I want to go down with. Come at me. Try to give me the mark of the beast. I'm shooting you with that thing.

Also, Trey, I think we do a health and comfort inspection on Grant's parents' house. Yeah. It looks like they may be, you know. Maybe I've heard a lot of tight up, hostage. Yeah. Oh, I don't know. My parents left. No, we're good.

You know, I hear a lot about them. I haven't seen anything like, hey. Is there like tripwire here if you don't like live? Who's the guy from psycho bait? Yeah. Love you, mom. Dad, I knew my dad would never. My dad would be like, this is, why is Grant pretending to be cagey?

My dad wouldn't make it nine minutes. He wouldn't make it nine seconds in this podcast. The things moms do. Moms are the best. That's good stuff. Okay. Speaking of moms, how about Mother's Day? Mother's Day.

I think Cobalt Blue is underrated. This is the first time I've ever worn the Cobalt Blue. I grabbed it today out of inventory. We're in an Excel, a looser fin. It's kind of a mock neck. Yeah, I stole it from the owner. Looser, kind of in the belly.

Great tea. Great for squatting. If you don't want the squat tea, they come in lots of colors. This podcast is powered by the strength. Go over, click on the squat tea. If you're a normal listener and you're like,

man, everything, Grant and the Stranko and the okay podcast does and you haven't bought a shirt in six months, it's time. Go buy a t-shirt. Go buy a t-shirt. Just, you know,

you just, consume, consume, consume the podcast. Go consume a t-shirt. But this one is great. But Jeff also has way more than Stranco T-shirts. And man, we live together. If you were going out, if you were hitting the town

and Jeff was in the field, I'm telling you, my friend, if you're about six foot and two-ten, I got a closet for you. A closet for you. Summertime, you got options. Winter time, you got options. fall check out the flannel

collection um it tray's got a great shirt on you know we don't sell those shirts but you know does in a way support the podcast yeah yeah no bag of good good stuff yeah it's part of king's cloth

yeah oh man oh man what else we got ducks lost poor ducks poor ducks um I guess in the sports realm Atlanta Braves franchise

lost a couple legends. Bobbie, or Ted Turner, and then shortly followed by Bobby Cox. Like, oof. Yeah, the city of Atlanta was more going to cruise. Yeah, they went on a cruise. So Ted Turner, Ted Turner owner. Yes, yeah.

Turner TV or Turner Broadcast Network. Yeah, right? Yeah, yeah. So he was real big in like getting them kind of, I don't remember what year he ended up taking over the team. But he was kind of the one that set him up for success with that whole run through the 90s and then the early 2000s. And yeah, so. He brought on Chipper Jones.

He did. He did. Chipper. Chipper. Chipper. Back when we used to do chaw and baseball. Dude. He had a big old chaw.

Oh, chip. But, yeah. Jeff, were you chaw guy in baseball? No. Were you a big league two? Sunflower seeds, you know. Sunflower seeds. Just in the dugout or in the field?

Well, you're pitching. Usually just so you dugout. Oh, yeah, I forgot Jeff. I didn't like having it. Like, if I, like, was in the outfield, I didn't like have anything that I could, like, be running and then, like, oh, I just choked on a sunflower scene. Oh, I'm dead.

Just ain't a shrink, cool plate. But, yeah, sunflower seeds. Dude, I watch, what's, what's your favorite baseball movie? Baseball movie? Baseball movie? I know Grant, I asked Jeff this specifically. I know Grant hadn't seen any. I feel the dreams.

Angels in the outfield. Great ones. I've seen neither of them. But they are baseball movies, so points for that. I have seen the Netflix documentaries and the Red Sox, so they come back to the World Series. Dude, that was a great documentary. Yeah, I've seen that. I should watch Phil of Dreams probably.

I've never seen that either, actually. I need to watch that movie. Come over. We'll watch it live on the podcast. Yeah. That sounds good. It's the worst podcast ever. Just us watching Feel the Dreams.

My favorite baseball movie, I can give an honest answer here. I think I'm scanning to think what I've forgotten. I think I'm good. Moneyball. Oh, money balls. That's a good. Yeah. Money balls actually up there.

I have seen Sandlot. It doesn't do it for me because I didn't watch it at the right time. I think he had to watch Sandlot as a kid. 100%. And so I watched it maybe five years ago. And I'm like, oh, I get it. Why everyone liked it. I watched it.

I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it. Great movie. But like it's not some things are timing. Yes. Money balls up there, though, with me. movies that so you have like the town which I've seen 400 times and then you have like good fellows godfather the departed that are all like I've seen a hundred times no country for old men's probably at 75 mark or and then you have like money ball which I've seen

probably five times dude's good yeah no it's good that's good it's good yeah it's good cast like yeah yeah I actually really do like money ball um I would also throw I think I like Major League 2 a lot. Never seen it. Charlie Sheen. Is that like major pain? Yeah. I haven't seen major league either.

Have you seen the natural? I have not seen the natural. I've seen the natural. I like the natural. That's a good movie. Seen-O-Readford. Yeah. Good Southerner.

He's dead too recently. Yeah, just died. Everyone's dying, man. I'm telling you. You guys need to go left for the 50-cow challenge. Quit on cruises. Not only did he die, died with a small wayway. Well, just three inches smaller, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we don't know what it started at, so we don't know what it ended at. No, there's, I would say, sandlot's up there for me. Say lots up there. But there's another one that I just watched recently. I recently, like it last couple years. Everybody wants them. Have you seen that?

Everybody wants some? Oh, I like, I like. watched that movie and it's about a baseball team something like that when I came to visit yeah it's the same guys who made dazed and confused oh it's good yeah it was good yeah and it's about a baseball team is it about the Savannah bananas

no basically I hate the Savannah banana you hate the Savannah bananas he's a baseball peers yeah I making a mockery of the game no that's actually not why I but yeah whatever that whole mockery of the game is that takes away from the sport, I guess I am a baseball purist.

Yeah, I hate it. Whenever I see, like, dudes humping the air and then doing a backflip and hitting a pink baseball into a penguin, I'm like, this is gay and retarded and faggot. I feel like it's just been like a five-year TikTok trend, Savannah bananas. They just sold out Kyle Field. I saw it. I mean, that checks out. like I just said, gay and retarded.

It all makes sense. That's good. And wasn't like the left field fence like 10 feet or something like that? It was like, you know, because where they like put it in the corner of like an end zone. So like and then they put stands, I think, on the field so they could get like the attendance record. And like the left field fence was like 10 feet or something like or like from the from the cut of the infield. Just something silly. Hang on.

Before we leave this, we got to do Robert Joe Cox is solid. Bobby Cox. Continue. Yeah. I mean, no. So I,

the listeners will be confused. I think we've said this before. I was given a Minnesota Twins Kirby Puckett, baseball rules for life's book for like my eighth birthday. Maybe six birthday. And the twins had just beat the Braves.

and we did not like the Braves because we were from New England we being my dad and his brothers although my dad doesn't really care about sports but I was given this twins book so as a very young kid I loved that the twins beat the Braves which I think was the 91 World Series but people still talked about it as a child

and I would have remembered that like 94 right I wouldn't remember 91 So I was a twins fan until my uncle's got a hold of me. And then I was like, oh, I'm a Red Sox fan. But I always have been a Braves hater. I've actually subdued it as they got older. And I know Jeff's a fan. But I hated the Braves lefts.

However, with that set, I grew up in a house with no TV. We had a TV. Like, there was a physical TV, but there was nothing hooked up to it. and it was used to like put a VCR of like, you know, a sermon or something. My brothers and I later in life would buy bunny ears and use aluminum foil and put them in the attic and watch Patriots games and stuff like that. But what we did, even before we did all that, was we listened to Wallach 93.7 FM. And we liked listening to baseball. And while I did not like the Braves, my brother Jordan was somehow.

a Cubs fan mainly because he had Ryan Sandberg's rookie card and Jeremy was a A's fan because he had Mark McGuire's rookie card and then the steroid era hit and so Jordan moved from Sandberg to Sosa and Jeremy stayed with McGuire but moved to St. Louis so Jordan stayed cubby's Jeremy went to St. Louis and the steroid boom hit but what we listened to was Braves radio network. which was probably owned by Ted Turner. Yeah, yeah. But Bobby Cox, the amount of times you hear Bobby Cox's name. So I'm like 12, Buford, South Carolina.

There's like a Panasonic. There's those two speakers on each side, maybe a cassette thing in the middle. There's like an antenna that you have to like operate in order to get the thing on. And it's like, well, welcome to the top of the third here in Smyrna, Georgia. And the Braves are taking on the Kansas. Kansas City Royals and Bobby Cup, you know, whatever.

The amount of baseball games listed on the radio because we didn't have TV was astronomical. And I, I know more about Bobby Cox or heard Bobby Cox's name and a live baseball games more than any Red Sox legend like ever. Like it was Bobby Cox, Bobby Cox, Bobby Cox. When he died, I was, you know, I was like, oh, man, piece of my childhood. Yeah.

Bobby. Kind of crazy. There was a video that was like, rip Bobby, here's nine minutes of Bobby Cox getting ejected. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he was,

he was always, yeah, that the players were getting kind of shafted by the umps, like, he was gonna, he was gonna try it out of the dugout. Love he always wore like metal spikes and like wore the full uniform,

whereas I feel like, you know, probably early in his career, that was the common thing, like every manager wore, like the full uniform and everything, but like now it's, they do wear the pants, sort of, some tennis shoes and like a hoodie. Yeah, they do something different.

No one's like really wearing the foil. He was, yeah, metal spikes. Grant's VCR watching sermons. Is your dad just watching like tape, just like taking notes of like his previous sermons? Bras. Should have said that. Analyze. I need to pause there a little more.

Watching next opponents, next week's opponents watching their tapes. That's right. 84. Pretty good, Bobby. That's pretty good. Hey, Bible says, children obey your parents and Lord, First Command with a promise,

due to strength, you'll make it 80 years. So 84, Bobby's strong guy. Well done. His kid probably was like, I will kill you if you don't lift. That's the due to strength problem. Man,

you think they're going to come after me? I didn't mean for that to be that intense. Bobby Cox, I saw people don't know this. Real big on submarine presses. A lot of people don't know that. Landmine. Loved them.

Oh, landmine. Submarine press. That must be some obscure lift I've never heard of. PJ, PJ, this airs Friday at 9am. I'm sorry to make you work, PJ. I know your dad. You want us to feel bad for you.

I don't feel bad for you, PJ. You guys go a business. Submarine presses. I need it. No, I just need like an AI 16 by 9 submarine press thing. thing with Trey you don't even need to send it to me

Decentralized trash fire. Hey. Let me get a tray and sidebars going on. Not been the worst. There's any sidebars. Okay. Okay. I was like a positive shout out to Fred.

old Freddy. About old Morgan Waylon, he's not commenting on our videos, is he? You guys got comments on Morgan before I have no, I couldn't tell you one song. I know he exists. Who? Morgan Whalen. Waylon. But it's not

like Waylon Jennings like cool. It's like, Wayland like gay. I think my job could give. You've never heard of the country song. You never heard of the country singer Morgan Whalen. I'll be shocked. Probably. I actually can't name a song.

Hang on. I couldn't name one song either. I'm honestly trying to name a song right now. Is he seeing whiskey glasses? Could. Could. All right. I'm going to tell you why he's gay in a second.

I'm sure I've heard of him. I don't. Was he at stage coach? Bro, this is worse than the guy from Pennsylvania. Give me the guy from Pennsylvania with his shirt off all day. Popping tops. Yeah, whiskey glasses. I'm going to give you, does he sing whiskey glasses?

He does. He does. Okay, so I know that's on. I'm going to need some whiskey glasses. All right. Here's his top 15 songs with scroll the bobs. He sings sand in my boots, which I have heard. He talks about having a Silverado and a girl leaves him. Cover me up.

I don't know. Superman, I don't know. Everything I love, I don't know. Silverado for sale. I feel like I should know, don't. More than my hometown, know that one. Anyway, he's poppy country. very famous.

Is he AI? No, he's real. I'm going to tell you why he's real. He's in that new movement of like, I'm an Ella fella. Ella's great. There's like a new movement of country that's like you're a little bit

not my generation, but like you're doing good, right? And so he's somehow like being pulled across with that. But like I think that Ella's the real deal. I think that Laney Wilson's a real deal. I don't love all of his stuff, but I do think that Luke Combs is pretty country.

He's a little too poppy for me, but like he's pretty country. Morgan Whalen. Zach Topp, real deal, real deal, 100%. Morgan Whalen, he does this thing at concerts where he does a walkout. So he like, I'm in, I'm in big. Bishop, Texas. So I'm going to get the owner from Halisco, Takaria, and they're going to walk on the stage with me. And that sounds cool. Like, that sounds like, oh, you're going to do the local thing, except it's always so gay. It's like, he's like behind, he's like locker room in the dugout

with Travis Kelsey, like, rapping. And it's like, and then he like walks out. And yeah, I'm like, again, it's back on the thing. Hey, some of you guys. should just not be on video because I liked you more before I saw you. And then when I saw you and I hate you, I'm like out on Morgan Whalen, Whalen, Wallen, whatever.

I'm out. That sounds like a country song title. I liked you before I saw you. Yeah. That's his next one. Terrible. Terrell. He went to Vegas and was like,

everybody here's a flake. No one did the walk out with me. I'm like, brother, do you think George Strait needs to walk out? with people? George Strait just walks out.

Garth Brooks just jumps out. Big jumping guy. Big jumping, always jump. Yeah. We've always said that. Okay. Okay.

All right. Lane Giffin's still woke. We'll just cover that. Yeah. We kind of covered that in the opening show, but, you know, there's some crap on that. Well, then, uh, this is a trade topic. So I want to, I want to shout it out.

So who's Johnny Mansell going to fight? Who is his Bob? No idea. I just saw he was fighting somebody. So Johnny Mansell? That is, it's a very Johnny Mansell thing to do. Do you call him Johnny football? No.

Is anybody going to watch it? Are you going to watch it, Trey? Yes. How? It depends on what it's on. It's on YouTube. How? I mean,

maybe it's it's going to be at the ufc apex does that mean that like ufc is kind of sponsoring this and then it'll be on paramount plus no it's it's paramount plus i'm not getting a new subscription for it i don't like them that much i'll give you my login oh okay that's how that works don't don't shut down my account paramount plus i know you're listening yeah a lot of their A lot of their executives. Don't shut it down. We did watch the UFC from this last weekend. Title fights were good.

I didn't watch. Someone asked me and I just missed the whole thing. Why do you have the Paramount Plus account? Because he has an AMAX silver platinum card. Yeah. Because he's a Marine. And if you charge Paramount Plus, not through Apple TV or any other provider has to be directly through Paramount Plus, you get refunded the account.

Yeah. So, basically, you could probably get one with your veteran status trade. Yeah. Yeah. And hit up the ones on there. The Champions League games are all on. So just give me a call. Yeah.

So our major's house this weekend, getting some free leave and I'll get you set up with an Amex platinum. I'm going to leave. I'm going to go to serve. I'm going to leave. I'll be. I'll be. Hey, come on.

Oh, no. Come on a little bit of a song. I'm like the one is progressively getting a higher, higher pitch voice. Yeah, one's getting gay. That's just that word. Hey,

Senator Major. It's been. Mickey Bells. I'm the one. And the one. MS. M-A-O-M-O-U-S-E. She just misspelled Mickey Mouse.

No. No. Let us. Oh, good stuff. Good stuff. Well, do you save rounds? I mean,

there is the thing about the movies, but I think maybe we, we, we, uh, save that round for a later date. Oh,

I put that in there, random. Let's quick hit it. Okay. It's just like quick. Let's quick hit it. A little quick hit it. Let me,

so I'm gonna, all right, let's, let's play pick one. You know how we always play the game, pick one. I read a list of one through 10.

And you pick one that shouldn't be in the list. You know, that game we played before all the time. Oh, we play that all the time. Yeah. You don't need to explain the rules. This podcast was almost called.

And now it's time for pick one. One. What we named 10 and you pick one that you don't like. Now you can. There's two rules to pick one. Same two rules we've always had. One, you either have to remove it from the list and say it shouldn't even be on the list. or two, you have to move it to number 10 on the list.

Oh. So basically you're saying out of the 10 numbers, there's nine of them that are okay in the top 10. Okay. But there's one that is so egregious that you either remove it from the list or move it to number 10. Who's ready to play? Okay.

All right. The top 10 best movies of all time, according to me, the order changes from time to time. This is not me. But the me in this case is not, not not not trash six. All right, you ready? Number one, heat.

Number two, no country for old men. Number three, the godfather. Number four, the departed. Number five, a few good men. Number six, sin of a woman. Number seven, good fellows. Number eight, eyed wise shut. Number nine, training day.

Number ten, the patriot. Anything you like you using a sentence? No, I already. have you seen all the movies tray uh most of i've not seen eyes wide shut i have really no desire

to also same have you i also have not seen two movies on this list same one of them is eyes wide shut i have also not seen cinema woman have you seen cinema woman same have not uh alpuccino hooah

ooh i do like that it's army movie uh yeah Yeah, Al Pacino goes in the army and he has to find women and smell. He just smells a bunch of women. I know that scent. That's a woman. Too easy, sir. Too easy.

Too easy, sir. He's a buck sergeant. All right. So you got to remove one. What were the rules that we've always said? Or move one in number 10? No, I think you either got to remove one or move one to number one. I like that.

That's actually what the rules always were. I'm going back at the rules. You either have to remove one for the list or move one to number one. Okay. You hear the list one more time, Trey? No, because I already got my answer. Okay, what's your answer? Oh, let's hear it.

So I would remove eyes wide shut and then to number one would be Godfather's my favorite movie. Technically, it's an either or. You're either so pissed off that eyes wide shuts on the list that you're removing it completely or you're so upset that one of the movies on the list is not number one that you're elevating it. I'm not much of a Stanley Kubrick guy, so I would probably remove eyes wide shut. I don't know what Stanley is. Is it like a personality test? Like a minor praise?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. You also did full middle jacking. Personality test. Never heard of her. Jeff? He directed the moon landing. Why do you know that?

Hey, I know that. Now you do, yeah. One guy doesn't believe in the moon landing. I think it's way too obvious that I would move No Country To Old Men to number one. So I'm going to go with removing one. And I'm not going to remove cinema woman or eyes white shut because I haven't seen them. So those are also too easy.

I'm going to drop the Patriot out of the top 10. I would, Mel Gibson. I think it's a fine movie. Like, I honestly, I haven't seen it in a long time. So I don't know if it, I remember liking it, um, like in high school or whenever it came out or like college. Um, haven't watched it since. I haven't had the urge to watch it since.

I just remember being an okay movie. So I dropped that. Okay. I feel like there's better movies than the Patriot. Okay. name them. Engrorious bastards. No, not better.

What? Get out of you. Then the Patriot? That's way better. There are a better movie. We get it, Jeff. You don't like Jews. Okay. You could just say that, Jeff.

I feel like the fact that he named Inglorious Bastards would make. That counters your argument right there. Wait. Isn't that the one with the guys like banging the floorboards to find the juice? Yeah. Yeah, but everybody else is. One thing only. Yeah, but I see that.

I know Jeff, that's his favorite character. He's like sitting there drinking the milk. Like, Jeff definitely likes the Nazi in the movie. So, in a person. When he dies. It is a great character. So, you.

Christoph Waltz. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's just favorite character in that movie as a guy that knows, Jeff. we're getting off topic here okay sidebars to a minimum sidebar trash five I

Jeff said something that made me feel bad that if you haven't seen it you can't remove it I disagree with that it's too easy I think no I can I can watch a preview and be like I want to watch that no I think my point is

based off this list Based off eight movies on this list, they are movies that everyone should have seen. And I know I'm speaking as a homeschool that hasn't seen a lot of movie. But I've seen eight out of ten. So if I haven't seen six in these grand scenes, if I haven't seen sin of a woman and eyes wide shot, then I think it probably suck and should be off the list. And now I'm just going to go by naming. Sin of a woman sounds watchable.

Eyes wide shut sounds stupid. it. So I'm removing that one. Boom. I'll say I think heat's an overrated movie. I do think he's overrated. I do think it's overrated. I think it's overrated. I like that. I like that take. Everybody gets

like so kind of the shootout scene is so amazing. The rest of the movie Oh, Stanley Kubrick and Tom Cruz and Nicole Cooper. Yeah. Yeah. That's where the that's where the Stanley Cup Rubik's Cube came from. I get it now. Yeah. Yes. He, I'm trying.

Uh, previous guests, big Nolan made us, uh, made me watch that. I told him, I'm like, oh, I haven't seen heat and he made me clear out my Saturday plans. Uh, Nolan Hickey. Great guy better at being tall. He's the best at it. Yeah, pretty good. All right. Save rounds, alibis. Is our major? Oh, no, no one of them so. Hey, thanks, everybody.
