All right, welcome back to episode one, one, two of the OK podcast, Powered by the Strenco.
I'm your host, Grant Broge, and we are recording live in studio, actually kind of in a studio.
The Strength Co, I've always called it my mobile studio, never not called it that.
When I opened the gym nine years ago, I said, one day, I'll be recording a podcast with Mr. Tustin at the Strength Co, Costa Mesa, and I'll have a guy.
join with me. I'll get to Mr. Tustin in a minute. We'll cover that in a minute. But right now,
we're recording. If you're not watching on YouTube, you're an idiot. If you are watching on
YouTube, you realize that the location has changed. The game has changed. I am at my gym,
the flagship Strength Co. If you own Strank Co plates, you need to realize before the chicken was
the egg or before the egg was the chicken, something came first. And the first thing that came was
the Strength Coat Coast to Mesa, which I'll always be proud of.
And we're in the flagship location right now.
Got about 100 members at this gym.
If you're in Orange County, California, come on, stop by.
If you're in the state of California and you're looking for a starting strength coach,
turns out we're the only show in the state.
So come by and see us.
We've got a guest night.
We'll get to that minute.
We're just going to leave them sitting here awkwardly for a second.
Maybe 10 seconds, a lot of seconds.
But Mr. Jeff Biggie, excuse me, Major Biggie, yeah, Major Biggie, support the troops.
Major Biggie is in a drilling status.
He's actually on orders.
He's shooting artillery somewhere, so he's not here tonight.
So that's going to throw us off.
If you're curious.
If you're quiet, you can hear him.
Yeah, if you just shut up, you can listen to him.
Mr. Bouget, he's in 29 poems.
I think that's right.
I think that's right.
Yeah, I'm not really paying attention
because I'm not in the drilling status,
but Mr. Biggie,
Major Biggie, Boisier,
who knows how you say it,
is not here tonight.
We're here.
We're going to leave our guest out of it
for a second,
but I'm also joining us in studio,
which is Costa Mesa,
but over the internet,
is Robert Trey Gottlitch the third.
Is your team still on the college playoffs for baseball?
There are out,
just like yours.
I just wanted to make sure we talked about that.
Is the team that you lost to still in?
They are, yeah.
Okay, okay, all right.
Well, that's all you have to hold on to now,
as you want the team that knocked you out to win the whole thing.
To win, yeah.
And then show.
But he's joining us from, I'm going to make one,
Rathdome, Richland.
Is there a Richland, Texas?
There's got to be.
Well, that's usually, actually, do you have your phone?
Richland.
Yeah, we're different out.
You can just Google, Richland, Texas.
That's usually with Jeff would be.
Okay.
Yeah, good use of okay early in the show.
We like that.
Richland, Texas, just south of Coursicana.
Okay.
On I-45.
Oh, big time interstate.
Any restaurants popping up on there?
Ooh, let me see.
Restaurants in Richland.
I just wish we had a, I just wish we had it.
There's got to be like a website.
Oh, Google says there's, Google says there's limited.
options. That's like the first thing that pops up.
Not a whole lot. Not a whole lot of chow. At least not yet.
Not a whole lot of chow in Richland, Texas. They need not an app, but a website, easy to use,
no username, no password. You just go on, you say who you are, and, you know, you add in
where you're eating tonight. Maybe we call it Chow Radar. We'll talk more about that later.
From Richland, Texas, Robert Gallich, the third, the price is. The price is, and
of Bitcoin is $6,518.64. Some of you may be saying Bitcoin is falling. Could be true. The
Strait of Hormoz is also closed right now. There's only four people in space. Okay, so it's not my fault.
There's some things I don't control. I've heard that maybe the war with Iran is going to end.
Some people want to end. Some people want to keep going. Not under our control.
We're going to get to our guest in just a second. What else is part of the
opening bit. Have I forgotten anything on the opening bit? Today's date is June the second in the year of our
Lord 2026. This episode will air on Friday, June the 6th. I recorded a lot of YouTube videos today.
So if you're like, hey, Grant, I listen to the podcast. I'm tired of your YouTube channel just
being regurgitated nonsensical questions from Trey. I want some like OG original content.
it's coming to you soon because we record a lot of stuff today.
This podcast brought to you by BW Tax.
Mr. Helmut still sponsors us.
Good, good.
Yeah, we're sitting in the Equipauls.
The lights are on, which means the sponsors are paying.
Why don't you say hello?
Hello?
Yeah, you might need to lean into that thing or lean up.
Yeah, that sounds pretty good.
Okay, yeah.
Short-time listener.
Last time, yes, here.
Adam, remember.
I can think of no better podcast to ruin my future political career with extremely surgical soundbites that I've long forgotten about 10 years down the line.
15, maybe, hopefully.
Yeah.
Kiss it away.
Kiss it away, man.
Real quick, how many episodes have you listened to?
You know what?
You can be honest.
There's another worse than a podcast you get into and it stops.
You know, it's like the guy's stuck in the basement on the table.
TV show. I guess that's it.
So maybe like 12.
Okay, that's pretty good.
That's a dozen. That's like six more than me.
That's more than my fingers. So I'm like,
unknown territory here.
I just want to know if we can include him in the staff brief.
I think we can.
We get the three out this week.
He's training in 20 and pump. So we kick over to three alpha,
Lieutenant Gottlitch.
Yes.
Take us through staff brief.
Yeah, I'll go ahead. Take over.
Real quick, Gailetsch.
We got special guests in here today.
Those two abbreviated staff brief.
Everybody, you know, just concise, to the point, good briefs.
Make sure we get through all war fighting functions.
Sergeant's Major, I know you all have had a lot to say lately.
Maybe just keep that to a minimum.
Oh, yes.
So, well, keep it sure.
Okay.
Yes, sir, this is the Lieutenant Gallup's 3 Alpha.
I'm taking over for the three.
I think he's currently on leave.
He was over at got some gumbo over a Sergeant Major,
so he's taking this week off.
So I told him I would fill in for him this week.
So let's go ahead and just hop into it and get the show on the road.
I'm going to kick over to the S-1.
S-1.
Do we got anything for the group?
Oh, man, if you're the three alpha,
does that mean that I have to be all the shops?
No, it's, I'll get in character on them.
Yeah.
We'll figure it up.
Yeah, you're the S-1, though.
Okay.
Go ahead.
Good afternoon, sir, staff.
I just want to say I looked at the numbers this morning,
and they were actually bumping while I was looking at them.
We have a lot of Marines, sailors in the field right now.
And so we would ask that you send your per stats at 06 and at 1,500.
And any to just send it, Mominoni format and any changes.
If you have attachments, maybe like a generator mech,
if you can just make sure that you pay attention to that.
I'd say that's there or nothing for the crew.
Great brief.
Okay.
Go ahead.
Actually, sorry, this is the one.
I'm also a first lieutenant.
Sorry, I'm used to briefing a major.
That's all right, brother.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey, bro.
Yeah.
You want to go start majors this weekend and get some free leave?
He's got to start a major.
It gets a free lead.
All right.
Thank you.
One.
Deuce.
He sent me a text message saying the straight of Hormuz is still closed.
And that's all he had for the group.
I think he is inside.
I hope he's not texting inside the vault.
It's trash five.
Good brief dues.
Good briefs.
Yeah.
I'll text him that, sir.
Thank you for that.
Let me see.
Let's kick it over to the, oh, myself, as far as the three shop.
Got a little phops going on.
We have some, not a whole lot going on.
Just come down.
I just remember trash.
the goal. Trash is the enemy.
Trash is not
our friend.
All future exercises, that's our goal. That's
Commander's intent is picking up all that trash.
Go and kick over to the four.
Hold on. Let me go get him real quick.
Yep.
He's gone.
Gentlemen, yep, this is the four.
If you don't watch on YouTube,
you just miss a great transition.
Phasmo coming down in about three years,
gentlemen. I
believe we are getting ready for that.
We're getting much better.
The dumpsters are
online. We are looking good.
Sir, I know you had asked some questions
about that. Oh,
no, sponsors.
Lights back on, sponsors to there.
If you're not watching YouTube, you wouldn't get it.
Yeah. Outside
of that, that is all I have for the group.
Can you back over the three alpha?
Oh, thank you, sir. By the way,
you're good looking
man, sir. Oh.
Let me see.
Outline stations.
Do we have any
any allied
stations?
Yeah, this is Trash 5.
I just want to say real quick,
without Trash 3 actual.
We seem to be getting through the staff brief
much quicker than we ever have
in the history of staff briefs.
But yeah,
as Trash 5 for my brother,
the other major,
let me go through outline stations.
Trash 69
Checking in for many
Trash 69 last baseball

sar major i want to remind everyone that devotional is available on the internal sharepoint under
other stuff in quotes on my leave command sar major and i were discussing calatians interesting

Jew nor Greek there's neither slave nor free man there is neither male nor female for you were all
one in Christ Jesus. Collations 2, excuse me, 3, 828, NASB, 1995. He insisted to me this passage was
about how we were all grafted together in one body like a big old pot of jamala.
Right.
He was invited us into the Cajun pot of his love and we can have community together in Christ.
Go Tagas.
Everyone can spell go Tigers wrong.
Okay, go.
If you're in a Cajun accent, it is G-E-A-U-X.
Okay, there's no other spelling.
It's like you don't mess with the Hebrew and the Greek when you translate.
There's no.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Go, Tagas.
And that's it.
All right.
stations have been weak. If you've been listening to the show
and not sending in outlying stations,
uh, we're disappointed in you.
Um, that goes to Lieutenant Colonel Matt Lohen. That goes to
Lieutenant Colonel Dan O'Connell.
That goes to Lieutenant Colonel Andy Hornfeck. That goes to
Lieutenant Rain. That goes to Lieutenant DeForge. That goes to
Captain Papaccio. Just to name a few.
Outlying stations, uh, we need your help.
specifically low it
yeah
I mean that guy
he only has five kids
and the youngest one's
like six weeks old
I don't know why he doesn't have time
because Instagram
let's dog on this clown
yeah I don't know why he can't get on the
okay podcast Instagram
I was like what are you doing
Samantha does all the work
he doesn't do anything
yeah
um
oh shoot I was about to shut
sign off
um hey trash five
sorry took over for
the lieutenant, before we turn it over to you, Trash Six,
uh, sergeant's majors,
sergeant's major, do you have anything?
We'll start with the one from the Southern Bayou.
Yeah, yeah, sir, I'm down from the Southern Bayou, down by Homer, Louisiana.
So I don't know if you've been down there.
I want to, I know we went through this staff pretty quickly and I know that we were trying to
fly through, but I think they were just giving me a little bit more time talking a little bit,
sweet, I think you'll yourself.
Hey, just six, real quick, real, real quick.
Oh, yes, so, yes.
Oh, yes, so.
Trash days.
We always want to hear from our senior list.
Sorry, Major.
Don't worry about these majors trying to cut you off.
You take your time.
You let us know that the South may rise again.
Oh, thank you, so.
Yeah, so I was, maybe wanted to discuss again.
I've been seeing a lot of moustaches around here,
and I know we are talking about trash.
And I've said this before, but it's that trash below your nose that I do not like.
Just go and get rid of that trash that we call moose.
stashes, make sure you're changing your socks and get them warm and layers off your coat.
Go ahead and take that jacket off there.
So what are you doing down there?
So go and take that jacket off.
I know you might be a little bit.
No, I'm just joking.
He can leave it on.
That's how I got for the group, sir.
That's how I got.
Hey, hey, Sal Major.
This is the other Sergeant Major.
I'm from the north part of the bayou.
We've been eating some other meals and some crawfish today.
I just want to piggyback dovetail and crawfish behind.
I'll never think my southern Sajum major said and go takers.
All right.
That is the brief.
I got a guess.
Been hits here for 15 minutes and we haven't even let him say hello.
It's Grant.
It's not Grant's buddy.
It's Grant Actual.
Live from the Strength Co.
We have in studio, Mr. Adam Yale.
Let me see.
I think he gave us a little bit of a little bit.
Man, it's, it is tough without Jeff.
I got to tell you.
Jeff's the clue that holds us together.
These enlisted people are tough.
We're wandering in the desert.
All right.
He's from Santa Ana, California.
He lives in Orange County.
Growing up mostly in Newport Orange, we'll get into that.
He's a dog, like SEC type, loves country Western, goes to the gym.
And he sells sandbags.
We're going to dig into all that.
But Adam, Yel, welcome to the show.
Thank you.
Yeah, good to be here.
Like I said earlier, this was my first staff brief.
I thought that was really cool.
Sergeant Major in the hallway who said that he had some urgent intel to share with me,
which I thought was kind of weird because I don't have a security clearance.
And I enfolded the piece of paper and it was his lunch order for a shrimp poboy and some red
down, right?
Yeah, well, yeah.
Good apple.
Oh, yeah.
So, yeah.
Yeah, just happy to be here.
you know.
Member of the gym, three years?
Three years.
What's your anniversary day?
Do you know?
A mild to moderate lifter sometime in November.
We'll say November.
So November will be four.
Yeah, four.
Four.
November 2026 will be four years in the gym.
Yeah.
Now, were you doing, were you doing Strength Co?
Or starting strength before that?
I actually like when those get confused.
That's good for business.
But I appreciate that.
Good work, Trey.
That's sitting on my count.
and watching TV, then yes.
Yeah.
If it's not, then no.
You call that super novice.
Yeah, I'm a super extra novice.
Yeah.
Did you know what came first, starting strength of the strength go?
Strength go.
Oh, so you didn't know what starting strength was?
No.
Do you know what it is now?
Yeah, kind of.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, whatever you want me to say.
Yeah.
A little, whatever, whatever vibes your boat.
I know.
I look for gyms here in the,
Orange County.
Whammy, found this one.
Did you, this, if you're listening to this and think that this is like a stage,
it's not, I know Adam pretty well, not super well.
I see him in the gym, his brother lifted here.
And when we have gym events, you show up.
I'm here, yeah.
Yeah, which I appreciate.
But I've never actually asked you.
Did you, were you like literally like Apple Maps or Google Maps?
Yeah, I did a little bit of due diligence, you know, digging in and CrossFit.
not so cool.
Weren't looking for that.
Yeah.
And I'm not hot.
What were you looking for?
If you didn't know what starting strength was, because we're like a very niche.
Yeah.
Like it's, it's tight.
Yeah.
So what were you?
What like, what?
It's interesting to me that you weren't looking for starting strength.
You're not, you're local.
Yeah.
But you got to drive a little bit.
Yeah.
I've been testing, you know, 15 minutes away.
I mean, against tall grass.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, look, we got CrossFit.
I don't want to run.
I don't want to do cardio.
Prudges coward is.
Running, yeah, it's bad.
You know, coward runs when he's not pursued.
So that's not good.
But I just found strength of Googling and walking in the door.
Okay.
And who is your first interaction?
Don't save me because then I would feel bad.
I forgot about it.
I think it was Jeff.
Jeff.
Okay.
And did you?
walk did you pay money first or just walk came money first you did pay money first okay yeah keeping
everything copacetic here yeah yeah yeah per capita yeah yeah yeah he doesn't get that joke
that's true that he's only listened to 12 episodes yeah it's all right we know we know we can
get into that one but i get where you're going but yeah but yeah uh you know rolled into the morning
classes pretty regularly, regularly a little late, much to Jeff's dissatisfaction. Yeah, Jeff's very
rules-based. Yeah, he loves the start time. I love the time about five, ten minutes after the start
time. Yeah. You, well, is this 5.30 a.m.? Yeah. Okay, so you're doing the early morning.
Not good for me. Yeah. And I think Trey had something, but I'm curious now. So you come and you do
an intro to barbells, I'm assuming. Yeah. And like,
what's explained to you?
Stress recovery adaptation?
Like, I assume now you've dug it a little bit more, but like if you were to look back.
I have the book. I bought the book.
A lot of people have the book.
Just no one reads it.
It's kind of like the Bible.
I went to the pool and I looked at it and I said, this is pretty good.
But let me just float on this inflatable alligator instead.
I did that.
Sounds better.
So, yeah.
What was it explained to you, J1?
You know, it's the science of the background of it is all good and well.
you know, I wanted to dig into the form as someone who didn't really exercise too much beforehand,
we'll say.
Okay.
Got a good grasp on that.
And I liked the, you know, we have such a great mix of people here.
Yeah.
That's what really drew me into.
You know, it's not like I got to be wearing head to toe aloe at Lifetime or Equinox here in this county.
Now, you could wear jeans with a ripped crotch if you wanted to.
In a crop top.
In a crop top.
And I'm not, I don't got the bill for that.
quite yet, but I'm working on it.
We got corky, 95.
Yeah.
Liftin. She's an inspiration.
Yeah. And then we got people
of all ages and... That's a wide
it's a wide, it's a wide, it's a wide grasp.
Well, Trey,
where do you want to take them?
Yeah, I guess that was kind of my question. So you had
no, like, prior
experience really lifting.
I've got to say, and he's sitting next
to me in my gym,
my assumption
based off my
clearly very small understanding of your personality
was that you had found starting strength
and then found the strength coat
because you were looking for starting strength
based off of like what seems to be a pretty analytical mind
like you know problem solving
that sounds like a compliment and it is a compliment
no no it is because there is the long-term client
in this gym
is someone that lives within 15
minutes once you check that box um is looking for a community and like wants like results right
yeah and i think like we provide all those things so the problem with like the people searching for
starting strength is they live in your belinda once your belinda uh tray let me make it sense for you like
pretend you're in pretend you're in dallas okay and you know someone in fort worth okay it's like you could see
your buddy in Fort Worth
if you really
wanted to.
You have to make an effort.
It's an effort, right?
I just want to make sure that the Texans on the podcast
understood. Thank you. Yeah, you're
welcome. Yeah. No problem.
No, no, no. But, but
so usually the
person lives really close and they come into the gym
and then what we tell
them makes sense. And I can walk into the gym.
My buddy was deployed all last year.
And when he came back, there was a lot of new members.
And I could walk into the gym and be like, that guy knows what starting strict is.
That guy knows what starting strength is.
That guy has no idea.
I would have pegged you as a newest starting strength was.
Well, I mean, I did a little Googling beforehand.
But it wasn't, that wasn't the drive.
That wasn't the, okay.
Well, partially, sure.
I don't want to, I don't want to degrade it to nothing.
No, no, no, no.
But, okay.
But you had a little bit of awareness.
Sure.
A little bit.
Yeah.
Fair, fair, fair, fair.
But it wasn't like the main reason that you picked this gym.
Yeah.
Do I have like a line on the side here?
Yeah, we can put a line in the, yeah, you're going to put it.
Yeah, I'm trying to help me out here.
No, no, it's just, you know, I'm looking for strength training.
I'm looking for somewhere that takes it seriously.
But, you know, we're an average Joe's here almost.
You know what I mean?
And I love that Dodge Ball movie.
But we got we got all kinds of people here.
And I thought that was really cool.
You know, I'm not walking into a.
powerlifting gym where it's like that guy's benching 500 over here and I'm just starting to learn
how the form works like this is a all walks all types yeah I actually want to kick it a tray but I
want to say because I coached right before this podcast I coached and we're sitting on a power rack
there's eight power racks here in total let's see I don't want to age them that guy was like
37 I'm pointing through the racks thinking of my mind he's like 37 and runs a metal company
he's married with two kids his wife also lifts that gal's 32 she has a seven-month-old first child
and she's kind of like postpartum get back in shape that gal i don't know donita if you're listening
i mean this is a compliment but somewhere between i got to make this really wide 50 and 75 uh because
I'm not even going to try to guess.
But she sings in the choir at her Catholic Church and a great lady.
Over there in the corner, Nancy, I'll put the same window, 50 to 75 over there in the corner.
One rack over close to me.
Her son, Tim.
And they live together every.
Yeah, Timbo's slice.
They live together every Tuesday night.
And their dad's usually here.
And then they all go eat together, which is like a cool part of the gym.
Yeah, it's super cool.
Like, who's here?
I know you weren't here, Adam.
It's not your fault.
I can't remember this person.
Someone was right there.
Doesn't matter.
Over here, you matter.
You just don't matter that much.
Over here was Alex, kind of a newer join.
He has a two-year-old and a baby on the way.
He's probably, no, I know he's 38.
And over here was Bailey in her 30s.
newer member, never heard of starting strength.
And so anyway, it's a wide,
if you did the median age today,
it was probably 50 to 75.
Yeah.
Per capita.
But yeah, no, you're right.
And it's everyone, no one is,
everyone's going after above average strength,
above average aesthetic,
but no one's trying to like be,
uh,
no,
supermodel.
Yeah, there you go.
I guess, dude, my question for you,
because I think you're a really good example of, like,
starting it, not saying from scratch,
but like pretty close to it.
What do you said?
Three years in now?
Yeah, four years.
You know, I got married and, you know,
started our life together and work and the usual.
Yeah, no.
Of course, but it sounds like you've been fairly consistent, though.
But I guess, like, kind of what initially is like,
you did it for like a month.
You're like, okay, this is,
I'm going to keep doing this.
Like, what was that reasoning?
And then kind of, I don't know, like, did it.
I remember, like, when I first started, I got bit by, oh, bit by the bug a little bit as far as, like, hey, I got to hit these numbers.
These are my goals I want to hit pretty quickly.
Have you, have you kind of hit those numbers that you've initially started off with?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It is that and wanting to get bigger.
And, you know, it's, I would say.
say just wanted to continue showing up. You know what I mean? You have this group class where it's like
you can't bail out of it. Like you can get a membership at 24 hour fitness or, you know, any other
gym and you go in there with the best of intense to do your squats to do the stuff you suck at or
you dislike and you end up doing bicep curls and maybe 15 minutes on the treadmill and say I'm
kicking ass, man. I look good. But it's just driving along here. And yeah, I'm sticking.
with it here.
What's your,
all right,
let's get in the brass tacks.
So you're three years in the lifting.
You're,
you're 32,
right?
Yeah.
32.
Oh,
he's a baby.
Yeah,
he's a baby.
Young blood.
He's pre-fatherhood.
So you're 32.
You're,
I'm going to guess,
5, 11,
2, 10.
2.30.
2.30?
Yeah.
Stout boy.
Yeah.
Best squat.
I don't care if it's 5 or 1.
just three 10 three 10 you haven't done 15 yet ever no oh we should do that right now on the show
we should are you down in jeans did you do 310 for one maybe two how did you load 310
I don't know I'm just chucking along up okay yeah and then a press maybe like a press
150 good press yeah bench bench I have like monkey arms here so that's not my asset yeah it's
stuff for all of us.
I'm still closing in on two plates.
Okay.
Deadlift, we'll say 420.
Okay, so squat and deadlift.
Typical, and this is actually useful for the, for the listener to hear.
These are very normal results for someone running starting strength consistently.
It is your squat and your deadlift goes up a lot because it's a bunch of muscle mass.
and your press and your bench press take a lot of time.
I think people watch videos or see things on the internet
and they think that this stuff happens fast,
but a 150 press is really good,
and a very close to 225 bench press is actually really good.
And it just takes time, you know.
You look at starting sharing coaches,
or you look at even like Trey and Jeff from the OK podcast,
speaking of the OK podcast listeners,
those dudes move some weight,
but I think it is forgotten on the average listener
that's not like our chaplain,
who's been in the service for a long time,
that these dudes joined the service 15 years ago.
And so that's a different level of...
So 29, you decided to join the gym.
Yeah.
And I needed to finish my own thought here
and then go back to that.
But a lot of people don't think
about working out. There's like athletes, right? People that play sports. They think a lot about
working out, mostly because they're just good at it already. And then there's like military people
that decide like at 18 or 22, like, I'm going to join the service. And so then they're like
forced to work out. And then the majority of the general populace, sometimes in their late 20,
you're getting it. You're getting how to turn the lights on with your hands.
I'm also doing it. Yeah.
Yeah, thanks, Ray.
Sometimes in their late 20s, that's early.
Most of the time we see in their late 30s say, oh, stuff's not working anymore.
I should start the gym.
But I still have to say 29 you came in because.
I just realized it wouldn't get any easier.
Yeah.
I picked this up at 40, 45, 50, you know, there's not as much runway as you would have younger.
Have you noticed as far as like a quality of life improvement?
from before and to now?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean,
stuff like overall just feels a lot lighter.
Feel better doing stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know,
it's not maybe it's fun to move around 2.30 on,
you know,
multi-day hikes and backpacking trips and stuff like that.
We got to talk about that.
We're all good there.
But,
yeah,
overall,
it's great.
You know,
it's good.
It just flexes the discipline muscle.
And that's a user to lose a thing like anything else.
And life gets in the way.
But, you know, I always feel better when I come back into it and get it back into the rhythm.
I always feel better when I'm at the straight go.
That's true.
Put that on yellow.
Yeah.
I'm, did you?
I gave you a five-star.
You did, yeah, you did, yeah.
Classen you guys up.
That's what it takes to get a podcast appearance.
It's.
Yeah, it takes a lot.
It doesn't take that much.
Yeah, there was actually 15 wickets.
You hit them all.
That's right.
That's right.
Yeah, my per capita numbers are good.
Yeah.
Uh, per kass.
See, this guy gets it.
Yep.
Um, you get any training questions you need to keep asking him or can we get into real life
stuff, Trey?
I'm really getting real life stuff, man.
I want to talk about this.
I want to talk hoses.
I know.
I want to talk hoses.
Before we talk hoses, hold that thought.
Don't forget it.
Okay.
I'm the king of forgetting.
Okay.
This podcast is brought to you by BW.
Tacks.
If you're not watching YouTube.
we should. The lights keep turning off.
And that's not because BW tax does not keep paying.
It's just because there's auto motion sensors in the gym and the lights turn off.
BW tax pays.
And it's, I don't know, it's June.
It's June the 2nd.
Man, that's so many months from January 6th.
It's crazy.
If you're not thinking about next year's taxes, you should be.
You go to BWTX LLC.com and book a call.
book of consult. Everyone I know
that listen to the podcast, I
guess there's been 112 episodes, which
is crazy, that has
talked to BW Tax and
the numbers are not
low. It's a staggering amount of people
have said, man, BW
really kind of changed the way I thought
about taxes. So go to BWTaxelc.com,
great guy better at taxes.
This podcast is also brought to you
by Green, Gridiron, Gridiron,
green. Maybe you're a college
baseball fan.
College baseball has been a little crazy this year.
Citadel went on a great run.
I'm going to talk about it soon.
TechSaint M, great run.
A lot of upsets.
UCLA out of here.
Georgia Tech out of here.
A lot of upsets.
And maybe when you watch baseball, you think, you know what I need?
A football helmet of my baseball team.
That's what I always said.
I've thought about that a lot.
Every time.
Yeah, maybe you have a hose company.
And you thought, you know what I need?
A football helmet with a hose company.
That's right.
Who knows? Who knows? Maybe you're like, man, my wife's pregnant. I need a football helmet.
And Mr. Helmut might say, well, what do you want on it? You're like, I don't know. I just need a football helmet because my wife's pregnant to protect myself.
But you'd get a green, grid, iron, grid, iron green. That was a joke. Trey didn't land well with you.
I didn't expect you to land with Adam, but I thought I was going to have him there with you, Trey.
Green, green, green, just click the link in the show notes and go get a helmet. And with that, I told you.
you remember something and did not lose your train of thought.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, that's hoses.
Luckily, it's always on Trace brain.
I got hoses.
I got hosed spending on the day.
That's,
sounds like it, man.
It's always,
it's always interesting when we talk about hoses and hose.
I am always thinking about drinking out of a water hose,
but that's because I'm a boring and believer.
So is Adam.
Yeah.
Some people are thinking about hose.
Yeah, no.
And area codes.
Like spraying water.
Yeah, spraying water.
That's it.
Not ludicrous.
Yeah.
Different, different.
Yeah, man.
So, yeah, let's get into the real discussion while we're actually here.
Oh, yeah.
What are you doing?
Branded hoses.
We're going to get into that.
Well, do you want to know my business idea that I text Trey today and he asked me if I was
having a stroke?
Yes.
His reply to me was literally, are you having a stroke?
Okay.
First of all, read the text out of the blue.
I'll read.
Come on.
No context whatsoever.
That's your job, turn the lights on.
My whole brand is out of the blue.
Let's be, like, to be fair, Trey.
Grant, yeah, and I have a business suggestion for you.
Maybe like an idea.
Oh, Grant loves those.
Oh, like a light switch?
No, no, no.
That's a power bill down here.
A light switch.
Okay, let's start with a business suggestion.
I have the, you know, straight up from moves.
very bad gas prices up
it's terrible just like shipping costs everything
have you considered making plates out of like
aluminum you know it's saved you a little
aluminum aluminum yeah we have a lot of British
listeners yeah aluminum yeah that one
it's save you a lot on shipping
same size
yeah no okay that's fine
next topic I'll come up with another one
yeah you'll come up with another one
let's see I said
oh that's coming
Don't worry.
I'll read it.
I'll rush.
No, no, no, don't rush the ad read.
Don't worry.
Don't worry.
I'll read it right now.
You ready?
Wait, 14.
No, I'm reading.
The text you sent me.
The text, yeah.
1417 this afternoon.
217 for your non-military types, central time zone, which means 1217 to you, Pacific standard time zones.
Grand was probably eating chow.
I was pushing chow, actually.
Push and chow.
And this thought popped into Grant's head.
He goes, Trey, need hose cups.
And then I responded, wait, wait, wait.
When you hear that, what do you think?
Well, you know, the context of drinking out of a hose,
I think it's like a cup you attach to the hose so you can drink out of it.
That's interesting.
That's actually a good idea.
That's actually a really good idea.
That's not where I was going, but I like that idea.
All right, go ahead, Trey.
Then I responded, are you having a stroke?
Okay.
Because there's just no context out of the blue.
None needed.
None needed.
Which Jeff,
Jeff thought that response was pretty funny.
Jeff,
Jeff's in 29 palms like shooting artillery.
Everything's funny to him.
And I responded with,
no,
we need cups out of hoses,
which I knew kind of what you were getting at.
You want a hose wall.
Dude,
I don't know what hose you have that's extra.
could be a firefighter's hose and be done as a fundraiser.
It could be a garden hose and could be used as a shot glass.
But I think in your line of work,
and we got to talk about my backyard hose, by the way.
Like, I'm really excited to talk about my new backyard hose,
and I'm a little bit worried that you didn't make it.
And then I'm going to feel, it'd be like someone calling into the show
and being like, I got new plates and I got a home gym.
and me being like, what are the plates?
And then being like cap barbell and me being like, you're gay.
So that's my fear.
Yeah, that's my fear.
But no, it's like, what if you just got a bunch of hose?
Okay.
So cut it in like seven, eight inch chunks and then put a bottom on it.
And it's like literally a piece of hose.
It could be like a fire hose, but you turn into a cup,
and then it says the okay podcast.
And on the other side says like trash six.
I'll do the branding part.
I just need the hose cups.
And I think that people would buy these.
PJ put up on the bottom of the screen,
I want to buy a hose cup.
Ryan put on the site,
I want to buy a hose cup.
an email capture.
Chaplain, Nate,
I know you think we harvest too many emails,
but just understand we need to know who wants the hose cups.
Pastor Nate, Chaplin has said that he thinks the okay podcast is ridiculous
because we capture what,
we capture emails for if you want to buy the 250 American pound plate,
if you did the 50 count challenge.
Yeah.
What's the third one?
I already forgot.
What's on the okay podcast.com?
I can't remember this.
But he's like,
these are all the same people.
And I'm like,
no,
these people are very different.
Very diverse.
Chow radar.
Chow radar.
Chow radar.
I'm like fat people aren't doing the 50 cow challenge.
They're pushing chow.
You get all walks of life across that spectrum there.
I love how you also think that like me,
you have so much flexibility since you own a company and then I'm just like a grunt at this place.
But I'll see what I can do.
You too.
Maybe make some prototypes.
No, I think that you have more flexibility than you think that you have.
You think you're a grunt.
I bet the owner loves you.
This is a new vertical, you know.
Yeah, vertical integration.
Vertical integration.
That's not.
We need a hose.
Yeah.
No, let's brainstorming.
Yeah, host cups.
It's like a silly pint except better.
But I came here to sell Adam some hoses.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry.
Go back to San.
Go back to SoCal sandbags.
No, I've ducks myself here.
Oh, no.
Are we good?
Are we good?
Potential sponsor.
Yep.
Potential sponsor.
For all your erosion control.
Yeah, so I guess, explain to me.
So I got the kind of 30,000 foot view.
What are you doing on a day-to-day basis?
I'm usually at 10,000.
Well, you know, family-run construction services company.
We primarily do erosion control.
If you don't know living outside the state of California, California is a little strict about environmental regulations.
So we help builders stay compliant with that.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Zandbags, hydroceeding.
Hydro what?
Seating.
We spray seed.
Oh, seeding.
I thought you're seating like.
Not hydro seating.
That would be very long.
I saw, I saw hoses that do that.
No, I saw hoses that hydro seed.
No, we could, we could hit this line.
There's always a collab here, social media.
You guys talk about that offline.
Keep sidebars to a minimum.
How long have you been with this company?
No, well, you know, on and off since I was in high school,
it's my uncle's business.
Oh, so when you say family company, you don't mean that,
okay, let me put it you this way.
My brother works for Home Depot.
Yeah, it's family.
Talk to my brother, he would say, I work for a family company.
And it's like, no, you don't.
It was handy Dan in 1992.
Like, now it's Home Depot.
Yeah.
This is, like, actually.
Family.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Kind of like if you work for the strength.
Yeah, for example, here, I watch my uncle catch a snake at work today.
That's cool.
That's sweet.
Can I come work there?
You can come visit.
Yeah.
Oh, so no.
If you want, if the whole aluminum plate thing doesn't work out.
I was thinking you take the strength code.
Oh, I don't work for you.
I'll do it.
Yeah, I'll host this.
I'll run the podcast here.
All of your brother calling Home Depot a family family company.
I mean, he's not wrong.
Once you have an IPO, you cease to be a family company, I think, in my opinion.
It's one great American family.
That's, yeah, I'm sure.
Arthur Blank.
Small mom and pop shop.
I always like to talk about Home Depot on this podcast thinking one day my brother,
who has actual actual influence over there will be like, you know what?
my little brother with this little business
let's just pump them up on Home Depot
it hasn't happened yet but I'm still
I'm holding out I'm holding now
I'm a big Home Depot guy
I'm not a college game day
ever loads hey Minard
Mr. Helmut made a Home Depot
Helmer that went on
Sabin's head
wow the OK podcast had a part of that
that's our true story
so it's time for the Strength Code to reach the
prominence that it needs.
You can pack it all in off that one.
Well, you know, Adam, sometimes you think if Nick Saban puts out a helmet that I facilitated
from Mr. Helmet through Home Depot, I'll have made it.
And then you look at your bank account and you go, it had no impact.
It's cool.
It's a cool story.
It's like a great story to tell someone to a baseball game or a bar.
Hey, Nick Saban, remember that Home Depot helmet?
made that. I trained that guy.
Strength control. I told that got to call that guy.
I thought I got to go that guy.
Then the next thing you know, there was in the bay.
Yeah, you get it.
Go tigers.
I don't start to get it.
Oh, yeah.
We got to talk about that.
The other question I had, how did you end up at a, at UGA?
Actually, that's the best question of the whole show.
Yeah, listen here.
You're an SEC guy.
Yep, yep, yeah.
Are they still in the college World Series or playoffs?
I think so.
Yeah, they were like,
taunting liberty yeah i'm going to believe here uh they are still in i have not checked okay
typical california i'll look it up while you talk yeah they're playing mississippi state
born in the oc bubble everyone in my family basically went to u sc this side of the country
thank you for under thank you for understanding the south of us again and i figured let's go
really as far as i can uh i know that and i wasn't sure my buddy carlos from i
school, said, hey, all my family still lives in Germany. You want to go on a road trip with me
across Europe? And you said, no, I want to go to Athens, Georgia. But I'm going to do that instead.
So I showed up the day before orientation. And that was that was that, you know, just, just locking into the go
dog's lifestyle. Two years. Yeah. In Athens. Yeah. Downtown Athens. Listen. I mean, I got a nephew that's a
junior there. Yeah. Sophomore. You should, you should go visit them.
I think that's a good idea.
Yeah.
He says it's a lot of fun.
Yeah.
You know, like I said,
what is it, a culture shop?
California.
So let me put it to you this way.
Yeah.
When I came here and found out that people ate avocado toast,
I was like, why would you take avocado and put it on bread when you could take pork and put it on bread?
And it was actually mind-blowing to me.
I was like, like, what kind of person would do this?
there must have been something similar when you ended up in Athens, Georgia.
Not so much Athens because it was a college town.
Okay.
I went to go visit my buddy.
Because we're from the...
Touching.
Not here.
Dork.
When I went to go visit my buddy in Alabama, that was when like the big culture shock.
Real South.
Yeah.
Deep down in the aisle.
Yeah.
And going down to Mississippi and Louisiana and all the other places.
Was that crazy to you?
Yeah, Athens is wild.
I'll just like put it.
No, no, no, no, actually the deep south.
Because like, when I go, when I first came to Newport Beach and went to Malibu, it was actually insane to me.
Yeah.
Like, one, everyone's fit for the most part, compared to the south.
Yeah, there's some hot people here.
There's a lot of plastic surgery.
Yeah, yourself included.
Yeah.
Thank you.
allow the stroke go wrap it up close it out on that no but there's it's it's much different yeah
like the people yeah yeah no 100% yeah you know i'm a pretty go with the flow guy yeah that's why
you're here exactly you know um but yeah you know a guy you go visit someone who's visiting his
girlfriend's family and a guy with a few teeth and to a bag of apple brandy yeah you know in a paper bag
you say why not.
There you go.
And you just, you know, hey, okay.
Let's go to the trailer park and shoot some guns.
Salt in the earth.
Dude, this guy gets it.
That is what it is.
Here I am.
Waiting Rome, do as a Roman.
Here I am where he's getting treated like sunshine from Remember the Titans.
And Adam's just fitting right.
Yeah, guy hopped out of the trailer.
It said, what the hell are you boys doing?
And we're like, oh, we're shooting here.
This is Mr. Johnny's land.
I thought he'd be pissed.
But he was like, how, y'all should have told me.
I would have bought some ammo and ran down there with you.
But no, it was a good time.
Yeah, Athens is a wild place.
I've heard Athens is wild.
What was your first, do you remember your experience of your first SEC football game?
Yeah, yeah.
I've had some good years, some bad years, had some girly, had some Kirby Smart years.
Okay.
You know, I had my family.
So you graduated, you're 32.
So you graduated like 2017?
I took a little bit of time off and, and, uh, strapped.
stretched it a bit.
Okay.
No judgment here.
For some reason,
we can move on to that on episode two.
Yeah.
Making a multi-series here.
Really for your mom.
See, he does listen,
right?
He listens.
Mom will love this.
Mom's grandsons.
Yeah, no, but, you know,
there's been some games for parents fly out.
You get us blown out by Alabama,
you know, in the rain,
not so good.
But there's nothing like it to get straight to it.
You go to a USC game.
West Coast USC.
You win, you lose.
doesn't matter. You know, people just say, hey, I'm here for the game. I'm here to take the
Instagram pictures. But out there, that's a religion. You schedule a wedding on a college football
Saturday. That's bad. You know, not a good friend. I love that you call it out there or Trey
and I are from. We just got over here. Well, we, you know, we're here now. So we got to work with
what we got. Do you get emotional when the Georgia Bulldogs lose or do you not really care
as a Californian.
It's taken some time to care.
You've got to build that up.
Your natural instinct as a Californian is to be chill and just roll on.
Yeah.
That's actually a PAC 12 mentality.
I don't think that's a PAC 12 mentality.
I actually think that's a California underrated.
People here are just like, what am I going to be upset all the time?
No, like the sun is shining at 70 degrees.
I'm going to go about life.
and I'm over here crying about the Citadel losing in a regional
and there might be something to learn from the California mentality.
We have our Disneyland weather, you know.
It really locks in.
Yeah, it's different from the trans weather.
Yeah.
It's a Disneyland weather.
Wait, so were you going to school there at any point in time when they won a national
championship?
Yes.
Yeah, see, that's why he goes here.
He's a winner.
Man, you were bored on third base, brother.
That's about, it's what?
Well, it's actually really funny because, you know, my wife and I started dating.
And actually, maybe I wasn't.
But either way, regardless, I have that national championship energy.
Mentality.
Yeah.
And, you know, my wife and I started dating, and she was not a college football fan.
And she was shocked to see that Georgia did not win the national championship and very confused why they did not win three years in a row.
She said it.
And every score.
Normally how it happens.
that I said it's it's stuff yeah did your wife go to college yeah yeah she went to cal poly uh
okay yeah yeah we're big cow we're big cal baptist guys here okay yeah yeah we pull for them and we
put we pull for them in college basketball every year we always have we've always done that right
tray yeah this is a cow this is actually what the okay podcast started as it's a cow baptist yeah
Cal Babs is.
I drive by there a lot.
Working out of.
Okay. There's a game we always play.
Every time we have a person
in the Stranko that's not
Trey or an OK podcast host,
sitting in an Equipal from Tijuana,
we play a game called
if you had to brand
your brand of Christianity,
what would it be?
You could say like,
Protestant, you can say Episcopal, you could say, you could do a denomination, but we've always
played this game every time.
This is an interesting game.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you just say, like, I'm a Baptist and you're done.
Yeah, yeah, nominational, you know, Bible firm church.
I grew up Catholic, so it was kind of an odd swing.
Yeah.
To go to that.
Or to go away, you know.
Yeah, big juxtaposition.
Okay, okay.
Bible firm.
I don't know what that.
word means, Trey, could you write me a white paper later on what that means?
Yeah.
You said non-nomination?
No, justification.
Juxtaposition.
That one.
Juxtaposition.
That's a word.
That's, yeah.
The frame tells us didn't get destroyed by Athens.
Yeah.
No, I appreciate.
I appreciate Adam because he is a, uh, a church guy.
You see it in his lifestyle.
You see it the way he cares himself from the gym.
And I would say that's a big part of your life.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, yeah.
Uh, someday.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Grace Fellowship, right down the church. Church alley.
Yeah, you have this in, Trey. I got to break everything down for Texans.
Okay.
You know those areas of cities where there's just like a bunch of churches and it's kind of
industrial and it's like churches and coffee shops?
Can you picture that?
Yes.
Yeah, that's where he goes to church.
Yeah, you go on Google Maps and it's like churches in your map area and it's like 42.
It's like, whoa.
Oh.
Yeah.
I feel like there's a, in the south, though, it's like every other block sometimes.
But it's different. It's different because in the south, sorry to cut you off.
Well, it's not like one on every block. It's like you get one on the front edge, one on the back of the block, one on the left of the block.
They might be connected. It's a hot spot. Yeah. Well, it's because, yeah, Gavin Newsom makes everything cheap here. So it's just, you know, churches have tons of money. So. So affordable. Yeah, so affordable. I think it's affordable. Yeah, it's great. Nice weather, though.
Yeah, good weather.
I'm shocked.
It's good weather.
It's good weather.
It's good.
It's good.
So far.
Yeah.
Gas is so cheap.
Yeah.
That suck.
All right.
Should we go on?
Should we start the show?
Let's do it, man.
All right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We kind of warm me up.
Are you pulling up the notes?
Yeah, I got it right here, man.
Oh, you got the notes.
Well, look at you.
Let's, let's talk about.
Wait, wait.
Wait, wait.
Oh, go ahead.
Can I talk about my hose?
Yeah.
Go, please.
Actually, yeah, before we forget.
.
Go ahead.
Garden homes?
Yes, actually.
Okay.
I own a town home because this is California,
which means if you want to own something,
it has to be connected to someone else's house
unless everyone in the world's bought your strength of place.
You're a multi, multi-millionaire.
And in my backyard, I had this.
I say had.
My wife will be happy.
I don't think she even listens anymore.
It's sad.
My mom still listens.
I'm pretty sure my mom still listens, but I don't think my wife listens.
But I had past tense this plastic box and there's a hose that goes from the spigot to the side of the box.
Okay.
Which then feeds a hose inside the box.
You know what you're talking about.
You know what I'm talking about too.
And then the box has a crank.
Yeah. Okay.
So I bought my house in 2016.
This hose, the entire setup, was there, which is kind of crazy because that means it's been there 10 years.
And it's never dawned to me to change it.
That's a great.
That's a great life for a hose.
I mean, I think like, what a great, it's like if someone said, I bought Stranko place 10 years ago, why would I have changed it?
that's how I feel about garden hoses.
It's never occurred to me that I should have a different thing.
But it takes up the whole apparatus.
It's like plastic of some sort.
It's kind of like at an angle and a quarter.
The spiders make spider webs on it.
When you turn on the water, there's like a little bit of overspray.
like there are things that I have thought over the years of like I should like replace this hose
but I've never done it 10 years 10 years just kept it um if you marry a Latina you guys are
both married not to Latina so you'll never be so blessed but they have something I call
cleaning streaks it's like when teams get hot like teams get hot they start winning games
Mexicans start cleaning stuff.
And my wife went on a cleaning streak on Sunday.
And the cleaning streak was the backyard.
And it was not anticipated.
And it was like, take the sunshade down,
carpets coming up.
I'm putting fabuloso on concrete.
Like, we're cleaning everything.
And as we're doing that, she's like, I want a new host.
I was like, you know what?
I've been thinking about getting one of those hoses that
like expands with water.
Yeah, I have one of those.
Do you know what brand it is?
Grocery outlet.
Sorry, Trey.
No, I got a photo.
I'm going to pull mine up.
I bought mine at Home Depot.
I'm a Home Depot loyalist.
It's a family company.
But I'm like, I'm getting a new host.
So my wife's on a clean streak, and it's bad.
I mean, she's like vacuuming the artificial grass in the backyard, like fullborn,
fabulous is everywhere.
Yeah, that's final four.
Yeah, I'm like, I'm going to Home Depot.
So I go to Home Depot, I buy this new hose.
It's $2,99.
And it's, is it Mr. Power?
Do you know what hose?
Trey, do you deal with, you know what hose you're talking about?
My company does not make that.
Do you deal with, like, poor people hoses like me?
I make, like, PVC water hoses.
Like, you know, the green ones that you drink out of as a kid?
That's what that was in my backyard.
That's what was in my backyard.
Yeah.
So like we make, we make that.
We do a lot more with probably, I don't know, larger ID stuff, like two, three, four inch stuff.
Okay.
Inter diameter.
I appreciate the understanding of inner diameter.
At the strength code, we deal with a tight ID.
Tight ID.
One point nine inches.
Yeah.
I appreciate the use of ID.
Sometimes I say to people, what's the problem?
You don't like the ID and they say what?
That was a good reference.
Anyway, get this new hose, this whole big, I mean, literally, Adam, the size of this bench was my old crank system.
No, yeah.
I took the whole thing to the street.
You know, that's like a Missouri backyard.
And like my hose now looks like this.
If you're not watching YouTube, you're gay.
But literally, it's like a wire.
It's nothing.
It's crazy.
But it goes to 100 feet when it's full of water.
It's crazy.
20 feet.
It's, it's, yeah.
I'll be curious.
I'll be curious for the last 10 years.
Well, that's true.
That's true.
You know, sorry to burst your bubble here, Grant.
It's, uh, yeah, we're just trying to keep the lights on over here.
Tom Hawks.
I know.
BW.
No, I had one of those.
I really liked that.
That was pretty helpful.
Yeah, it's great.
It's great.
We love it.
Are there, are there any upcoming hose innovation?
You know, we have AI, chat, GPT.
Talking about host cups?
Yeah, outside of hose cups that we should be aware of in the, you know, the consumer slash commercial market.
I feel like it's very similar in wait plates as far as it's, you know, there's different, there's different quality of it.
But as far as innovation, like it's, there's only so many ways you can do it.
So I would say no.
Besides the host cups, I feel like we're on to something with that.
Host cups are great.
All over one.
Hosting or two.
You got to have one for your getting.
I think a lot of people would order host cups.
Yeah.
Let's see if hostcups.com is available.
And we'll point it at the okay podcast will point at hostcups.com.
Yeah, which we'll point out is a straight-up Hormuz open.
which will
the okay podcast
to be a one-stop shop
you can come
you can buy
your American
250 pound plate
you can do everything
okay
so Adam
we
this is the podcast
I love it
yeah it's super chill
you're not a home gym
owner
I don't want you to be a home gym owner
because I want you to be
a strength co member
when you hear about
you've listened to
a dozen episodes.
I assume you've listened to some recent ones.
When you hear about a strength plate with an American flag and an America,
I mean, we're looking at a bunch right now, right?
So the 45 is higher on the left side.
There's an American flag under it.
On the right side, the 45 is higher.
And under it, it says America 250.
If you're a home gym owner, are you, like, interested in that?
Yeah.
That's correct.
Yeah.
Well, like, are you interested in that?
And, like, I already, let's say you already had your entire home gym setup.
And you're like, oh, there's just like cool, Stryko commemorative release.
Are you spending $300?
I know you got a wife.
Sounds like a no.
I would do it.
Yeah.
Listen, this is a historic moment.
And we don't have any 250-year hoses.
so I got to get it so.
That's a good point.
It's a good point.
That's a good point.
I don't even know if hose has been around that long.
That's good point.
I don't know.
Yeah, bamboo, maybe.
They must have been using hoses too.
Man, that's a question.
Yeah, the history of the hose.
That'd be a good question.
It should be something I should know.
Oh, well.
That could be in your sales pitch.
Yeah.
Who invented hoses?
George Washington used our first model.
Can you imagine if he crossed the Delaware?
drinking through a hose.
No, he did it underwater.
While he was standing.
He breathed through the hose.
Snorkel.
Yeah.
First Navy SEAL, George Washington.
Yeah.
It expanded as he was breathing through it.
Yeah.
Deeper depths.
Yeah.
Let's see.
I just got my plates in.
You bought some more plates?
I bought some plates.
Yeah, too.
You did buy, both of you guys bought some plates.
Thanks for your business.
You're welcome.
I'm glad I could.
sponsor your your host purchase dude yeah what did you get tray i needed i wanted another set of
25s uh one of my favorite plates those loadable dumbbells that i got yeah um so i wanted to get some
25s on there and then i needed uh i wanted another set of 45s too i prefer need need one you know
there's one of those things where it's it's like if i'm squatting or pressing and then i'm doing
deadlift next i want to have another set of place to do a warm-up on i'm with you instead of you know
just like waiting to be done waiting unload and everything yeah who would wait time is a yeah time
just wait just wait till adam has a kid he's going to be like oh man you'll get it time yep i uh i'll tell
you this story then we'll get in the sports uh tray i think the listeners think my mom will enjoy this
story. I think
Ray, who I'll
mention, will enjoy the story.
I think Claudia listens will enjoy the story.
Your mother, I assume you'll send this to your mother.
I met your mom.
Yeah. Yeah.
She might enjoy a story.
My wife is pregnant.
Pregnant women require something.
They require a lot of things. One of the things they require
sleep. And so Mondays, once is
in Fridays.
You usually wake up, I don't know,
6.6.30. You're getting it now. I'm just going to wave the hand. My child wakes up around 7, 715,
and I usually like grab the child. I say my name was Wednesdays or Fridays. Sunday through Sunday,
this occurs. And around seven, if it's a church day, no, because we're all going to church together.
But around seven, like my wife's up and there's like a handoff that occurs. Maybe I'm going to work,
maybe whatever and on monday um i woke up my daughter woke up and my wife could have woken up
but i could tell like oh she's tired and i'm like well i still got to like go to the gym
uh i said you know what i'm just going to go for it so i just grabbed a small baby stroller
with a baby that we call baby and the thing of milk and we just drove over here and I was like,
I'm just going to go do my workout and see.
And Ray, remember here was in here, Andrew, longtime coach here was on his way out.
He was super happy to see Isabella.
And yeah, we worked out for an hour.
And the workout was terrible.
I kid.
No, it wasn't terrible, but it was,
my expectations were lower, right?
It was like, I did.
You're not going to be going for a PR.
Yeah, right.
Actually, the first set that I did was pretty heavy.
And she kind of like got close.
And I was like, you know what?
Like, yeah.
At any event,
I don't know why I started this.
topic. Adam, do you remember?
No, I don't. But I'm kind of curious here.
Was Dee, was
appreciative? Like, was she asking
questions? Like, where'd you go?
Let's go with his sidebar
first. And then we're going back to you.
Okay. Yeah. How does the pregnancy
affect the Latentina cleanings?
Oh. Is that a positive?
That's actually, um,
more cleaning. Okay. That's what
I thought. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. But more cleaning doesn't
necessarily mean good.
No, yeah, I get it.
Urge to clean.
Yeah, yeah, more cleaning.
Yeah, no.
I was going somewhere with it, but yeah, no.
It was great.
Got to work out in with the child here.
And what I really thought was I needed a home gym because it would be way easier.
I think that was the point I was going to make is I got here.
I had to drive here.
There was a car seat.
This is exactly the point I was going to make.
I finished working out.
out, the gym member that was here, loved it.
I put Isabella back in the car seat.
Everything's great.
I get back to the house.
I parked the car.
I get out.
I hand Isabella her milk.
And I have, like, her toys that we had used.
And we're walking to the front door of the house.
And she falls.
And the milk thing that she uses dumps milk all over her hair.
And to your answer of, where did Diana?
think you went.
I get back inside.
And it's like, here's Isabella.
Hands are scuffed out.
Milk in her hair.
And she's like, where'd you go?
And I'm sweaty, right?
Because I've squatted and bench.
I'm like, to the gym.
I went to go take a milk bag, obviously.
Yeah.
It's an agent thing.
I don't get down to Sondra Majis' house.
He don't use some milk.
Yeah. Anyway, I digress.
But yeah. So, but home gym.
Home jams. That's great. Yeah. Home hoses even better. All right. Let's give the sports.
We're so lost without Jeff.
That, I don't even know Jeff was important.
Jeff is that I realize it's the glue that keeps this thing together.
I think he's the glue. I think he's the rudder.
Yeah. We're just a bunch of clowns that just don't know what they're doing.
Let me see.
Trey, why do you do a quick 30 seconds on Mr. Helmut?
Yeah, I would love to.
Yeah, please do.
So if you're...
Your time's coming at him.
You're going to get an opportunity.
It's part of the show.
You're at the end, though.
Okay.
I remember there's one time I was watching, it was in the fall.
I was watching, before I was doing this podcast, I was like, I really need a helmet for this game that I'm watching.
I'm like, I didn't know who to call.
So luckily, fast forward a couple of years, we start this podcast.
And I come to realize there's a guy who does this for a full-time job as a living.
And he's actually pretty dang good at it.
Kind of life-saving.
Kind of life-saving.
He's made helmets for just about everybody.
Nick Sabin, Home Depot.
Did he do, he's done a bunch of different professional NFL?
He's done them all, I think.
I mean, he's done most of the NFL.
So a lot of people think it's a small time sponsor.
Like, if you watch the NFL, you've seen his work.
Yes.
Yeah.
So then I would just go to say, like, this is not just your running the mill helmet.
This is like, if you want the top of the line, Mr. Helmut is where you need to go.
So if you click that link below, he's got small helmets.
He's got large helmets.
If I think you can get a visor on it, I don't recommend that.
can, yeah. I highly recommend it.
Yeah, some people who are just a bunch of dorks like visors.
So, yeah, you can get one if you want it.
But I prefer mine in the old-fashioned way, just a visorist.
But you can get it pretty much any team you can think of.
You can get them custom.
You can do kind of whatever you want with it.
But, yeah, Mr. Helmut.
Green grid iron, grid iron.
Green.
Link below.
Go ahead and click there.
Pretty good.
Yeah.
All right, sports.
You ready?
Yes, sports.
Did you, so talk to me, I didn't watch every time I would click on the college world series, I was watching the Citadel.
You would ruin it.
They would start losing.
So I feel like it might have been my fault a little bit.
But they kind of had an exciting couple days.
Yeah, we'll keep it short.
And then we'll see if Adam's a true SEC guy or if he's really just a Californian.
Why you got a time hack?
I got a hit here.
Oh, do we want to do?
No, just kidding.
You were going to do a time hack?
Did you want to do it?
I don't know.
My sports falling right now is pretty low.
I got a unlimited time.
No, we love doing time hacks.
What do you have right now?
I have nine.
I have, excuse me.
Count it down.
I have 2119 and I will have 2120 in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6.
six, five, one, hack.
Are we hacked?
We are not hacked.
I did not.
No, you guys.
I'll get it next week.
He's that track and time hacks.
Jeff will, I think Jeff will listen to this episode because he's not on it and he'll appreciate that.
Yeah.
Jeff, that time hack was for you.
Citadel made the regionals first time since 2010 year of my graduation.
So I knew a lot of guys in that team.
we won one game in there and then lost.
So we won the first game and then lost in double elimination.
Double elimination in college baseball is fun, in my opinion,
because it gives you a breath.
So we went to the Atlanta regionals,
the Georgia Tech number two team in the country,
Oklahoma, I think it's like top 10 in UIC,
University of Chicago, kind of like the Citadel,
like, hey, won our conference, you know, got hot at the end, made it in.
We lost Oklahoma opening round.
Georgia Tech beat the breaks off of UIC.
Chicago.
Yeah.
Yeah, then we played UIC won back in.
What happened?
We won two games in there somehow.
Anyway, end up getting beaten by Oklahoma at the end.
And not in a good way, like 15 to 5.
However, comma, pause for effect.
Oklahoma just beat the breaks off of Georgia Tech.
And Oklahoma's still in, George Tech's out.
Yeah.
So I want Oklahoma to win, Boobber sooner.
If Oklahoma wins the College World Series, I'm like, we're the second best team in the country.
Yeah.
By 10 runs.
By proxy.
Yeah.
Per capita.
Per capita.
to really bring it down.
But you probably have no idea that Georgia was taunting Liberty University, a Baptist school.
That's not a good look.
Players and the coaches ejected.
I'm going to guess you didn't know that.
Yeah, I miss that on me.
We're on a different.
Go down.
Hey, ooh, that moving down to drag.
Yeah.
Yeah, a different level of sports head.
Yeah, Georgia is still in, right?
they are
they're like Mississippi State
yeah
go dogs
go
go dogs
ain't
ain't em got smoked
by
the fake USC
saw that
but you're still
like
no we're out
oh you're out
yeah
so it was in the championship
regional championship
Auburn
they lost
they lost twice in a row
Auburn's still in
Auburn
okay
say Auburn
say Auburn real quick
that'll probably
make the end of the year
review. Yeah, still one.
Probably. Okay.
And
NHL, Golden Knights
won. Are you that interested?
Are you following this that closely?
That closely.
A Carolina versus a Las Vegas final
in the NHL?
A sports guy.
No, here's the
truth of the matter.
Bruins lost.
Okay, NHL is much above
NBA. Bruins lost. Celtics lost. I'm not tuning in. TV's on. It's a hockey game. It interests me in the commercial say Stanley Cup game one. I go, man, I didn't even know like all the playoffs have finished. So no, I'm not that big a fan. But I'm a non-fant fan that I do care. And I think I want Vegas to win.
I think if the Ducks were, yeah, but if Anaheim is still playing, you'd be, you'd probably fall in more.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
But I just have a problem having grown up there, North Carolina is not a hockey state.
They're not allowed to win.
Neither is Texas, but.
Yeah, but you're from Texas, so you care.
I have my dad from the northeast, so like I know what hockey is.
And so I've always had a problem with Carolina.
Vegas seems more okay to me.
Okay.
So I guess we'll pull for Vegas.
I'm pulling for the Golden Knights.
And new team just winning out of the gate?
That's like something a great business proposition.
I don't know.
All right.
Don't direct anything else at me.
Direct them all at Adam.
Ooh, wait, I'm going to direct it back.
Have you heard of the Qasm?
there's one in
Dallas.
Big Cozum guy.
Yeah, no, I've been to it a couple times.
I went last season for a game and we lost to Alabama
and that was sad.
Was it the Georgia, Georgia, Alabama game?
Yeah.
The one that you went to?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was cool.
You should check it out.
We're in Texas or L.A.
Or just in general?
If you don't want to fly to Dallas.
No, no, I actually, yeah, I go to L.A.
Yeah, so for no context here, it's kind of like the Las Vegas sphere.
Yeah.
Half sphere.
Half sphere.
Yeah.
We were only a speed.
But they show sports games and they have proprietary cameras.
So you have like the best seat in the house.
So I've done a football game there and I've done a hockey game there.
How was a hockey one?
The hockey one is much harder to follow because like you know they'll switch the cameras up as you're going.
And then so you'll be watching it and all of a sudden like it switches to.
to the camera like behind the goal and you have no idea.
Yeah, a little too fast.
The football one's a lot easier to follow in my opinion.
And I, I think I've been to two or three of them on football and then one hockey.
So they're cool.
Dude, yeah, it's a blast.
Did you, what level were you sitting on?
Like the two's right on the bar level.
So like right there in the middle of the two.
I don't think it got better, you know, maybe.
No, that's the prime spot.
They actually, they also do movies there.
Yeah, I saw Matrix and Willy Wonka.
I didn't see it.
No, you saw it.
Oh, oh, you saw it was available.
Okay, okay, okay.
But, yeah, so my sister just took her kids to the Harry Potter movie there.
I've never seen Matrix or Willy Wonka.
Not in Cosms?
That sounds like the first time.
No.
Yeah. Grant's wait for, like, was it Band of Brothers to be shown in there?
You would know.
Dude, I've never seen all Band of Brothers.
I've only seen what they showed you at TV.
Have you seen the
So like the clips
Dude, I'm like
homeschooled. That wrecks you.
It's a lot to catch up.
You would like being a brother.
Have you seen the Pacific?
I did watch the Pacific start to finish.
Did you like that one?
Yeah, I loved it. Love it.
Yeah, yeah.
You would like Bandar Brothers.
99% of the things
that people like you, Tray, come up to me and go,
you would like this is accurate.
You still have the time to do it.
I just have not found 99% of the time to watch it all.
Just start making a cue.
I need a home gym.
Grant's retired.
Adam's really good at turning the lights on.
What else do we need to ask Adam as a guest?
Because we've kind of treated him like family tonight.
Thank you.
It's a good.
I actually think you are the most treated like family guests we've ever had,
where we've kind of like pretended you're not here.
We just, honestly, we just kind of pretend you were just Jeff.
Little dysfunctional family.
No, no.
I'm happy to be apart.
Looking forward to the reunion.
Yeah.
But, I mean, I don't know.
Do you have questions about erosion, Trey?
Yeah, or Mr. Tustin or your position?
Oh, Mr. Tustin.
Mr. Tustin's good.
It kind of failed on Mr. Tustin.
I did. You know, that one was sprung on me.
Yeah.
For the listeners who are uninformed with local male beauty patches.
First of all, Tustin Chili Cookoff, if you're listening to this two days from now,
Trey from Texas, you might be from, I don't know, South Dakota.
Will you go to the Chili Cookoff?
I will be there as a failed Mr. Custom.
But no, no, like, will you be there as a patron?
Not as a participant as a patron of the chili cookout.
And Aladios, they whip up some chili for the testing branch.
I'll let you describe it.
I'm actually, I actually kind of like, go.
What are we talking about?
I'm completely awesome.
Chili cook off.
So, yeah, yeah.
This is super nation local, which is why we call the OK podcast.
Go ahead.
All right.
So we have the Tustin Chili Cookoff, the 42nd annual Tustin Chili Cookoff,
the largest chili cookoff in.
California, according to the International
Chili Society, which you have to be a member on
to... Tustin, California was developed by
Columbus Tustin. That's right. Yeah. In like
1848. Yeah. I know,
I know my chili. I'm a big chili. I have a whole YouTube
Georgie. Put my YouTube video on chili in the corner.
Chili's not about beans. It's about spices.
One day I'll see him to go off. Anyway, go ahead.
So we have like 60 or 70 different
chili cookers and they make a variety of different styles.
The Texas people, beans, no beans, we could skip it.
It's California.
We got both ways.
Texas, we just call it chili.
Yeah.
But it's a good time.
Bring a muffin tin.
You'll want to try them all.
That's the bro tip.
Wait, what's a muffin?
Like you bake muffins in the oven so you can get the little cups.
And you just put a bunch of different samples?
No, they don't just scoop it in.
Wait, like a muffin?
Yeah, they'd give you a little cup and then you put it in there and then you get
together with all your friends.
You trade, so you're not waiting in line saying, wow, that was
just let me wait.
It would take a woke Californian to explain that to me, Trey.
Listen, it's a good time.
I don't know why they do it in June.
It seems like it's a terrible time.
It's hot, hot, hot, hot, hot.
It's the same weather.
What time is you start?
I think it's 11 to 6.
So, like, I should definitely bring my family.
It's a family-friendly event.
They got stuff in the park, slides, and all kinds of stuff.
I love how Grant,
knew like the history of
Tustin but like you asked him like a basic
social
like I'm a society
like hey have you seen this movie here it's like
what? Star Wars
Never seen that but I'll tell you about a town
I think that was your Tustin 1848
Yeah Columbus Tustin
Big history guys
I mean I'm not wrong
No you're not wrong
You probably read that on a plaque
Just there is a black
100%
100%
I just like we'll never
forget it.
I'm a sucker for...
There's a big plaque.
I don't know.
I'm a South Carolina resident.
Technically, I went to vote today.
Absentee.
I'm going through all the things.
I get to the congressman.
So I'm a South Carolina resident because I
activated January 2nd of 20,
my buddy, 2025,
spent the whole year activated.
And then you have six months to change your residency, but then I'm going to Newport, Rhode Island.
So I'm like, I'm like in transit, right?
I actually wish I could vote in California, but I'm a South Carolina resident.
So I'm like, oh, I need to go vote.
And there's four congressmen running in South Carolina in the upstate, as we like to call it, where we started the podcast from.
And one of them's name, Trey, you're not going to believe me.
I think Adam's going to laugh in my face.
And I'm like, Columbus, Houston.
no Robert B. Lee
and so as
I'm voting I'm like taking
stuff and sitting in my dad
and I'm like what do you think about this?
What do you think about that? Because the absentee vote
and my dad goes
as a Yankee
it's your civic duty
to vote for a guy named
Robert E Lee. I said what do you know
about him? He goes nothing
but is
I don't know but I voted for
him.
no idea what his stance is.
This is the part of the podcast where I talked earlier about getting my political career.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
I clicked on his link and said America first.
And I was like, yeah, every time someone tells me that it's a lie.
But yeah, sure, Robert E. Lee, let's go.
Your representation will rise again.
Oh, man.
He's like, I'm only talking about the 25 southern states.
I was talking about the original colonies.
not America
let's see

I am announcing my candidacy for Mr. Tustin, 27.
Yeah, it's a male pageant.
It's a male pageant.
A male pageant.
Yeah, beauty's out of the term.
It's basically you say, hey, my name's Trey Gottlidge.
I have three kids under the age of three.
I live in this city.
You should vote for me as the best person in Frisco.
And that's it.
Yeah, it's charity.
Yeah, for charity.
But that's it, right?
That's it, yeah.
Yeah, there's a talent component.
There is a, there was.
What's your talent?
See, I was going to do lifting.
So I wanted them to deadlift 405.
Oh, that'd be a good one.
What if someone went out and deadlifted 406?
I mean, you should be Mr. Tustin.
That's your, yeah.
Clearly you're bad at comedy, so.
That's the thing.
You know, like this is going to land with a lot of people,
and a lot of people are going to say,
Grant, I don't think this was the one, man.
That's why we call it the OK podcast.
Yes.
That's okay.
Okay.
All right, Tray, what are we going to clean up
before we hand it over to him do his ad read and is okay?
Wait, hold on.
You brought up Andy Griffith.
What about him?
Oh, no, I was talking to someone today about Andy Griffith.
And they asked me about the one rule.
Do you remember the one rule from Andy Griffith?
No.
So I didn't either.
And I told him I watched the line, Andy Griffith,
hand.
He texted it to me.
I want to pull it up.
I'm going to play it.
About what the one rule is?
Yeah, apparently it's one rule.
I know a lot of Andy Griffith,
but I didn't remember this.
Here it is.
Oh, so it was Barney given the rules.
It wasn't even.
Yeah, it's Barney.
Yeah.
Well, that was kind of my point to my buddy.
It was like, if Andy's not talking,
I'm not listening.
Barney's an idiot.
Yeah, that's why it's funny.
Yeah.
But fascinating.
Why don't you take them through everything?
Also, someone said today, Trey, you'll like this.
This is again where Adam's a guest.
We're ignoring him.
Someone said, oh, it was a guy from church from Bibles today.
He was, yeah, I've never watched a podcast, but every time it pops up,
it looks like one guy's in a hotel room.
room. And I said, oh, yeah, it's my buddy Trey sells hoses for a living. And he goes, hoses?
And I was like, yeah, he's like almost always in a hotel room. He goes, oh, okay, because like,
your studio looks impressive. I was like, my studio is my garage. It's not impressive. He's like,
but there's a dude in a hotel room. I was like, yeah, that's the right podcast. You found it.
So basically what are you saying is the hotels I stay in are not impressive. Eric,
No.
But my one-car garage in Tustin, 1848.
Yep.
Yeah, we see those twin beds back there.
So I need a larger per diem to get a better hotel room is what are you saying?
I'll run that up the chain.
Pete Hex-Seth.
Before we get into it and do the add-a-reed or whatnot, what is good movies are kind of like pizza?
Would you agree with that statement?
Yeah.
Yeah, 100%.
Oh, that was me.
Yeah.
What does that mean?
The problem is like when Jeff...
Was this with this with the stroke that you're having early?
When Jeff, when Jeff sees the comment, he knows what I mean.
No, what I mean by that is this is bad.
We should probably cover it with Jeff next week.
Yeah, just hold it for next week.
Yeah, hold it.
Actually, toy story, toy story.
That was my point.
But yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, I'll be curious if Jeff.
I want to bring that up first to see if Jeff knows.
what you're talking about. 100% Jeff will know I'm talking about.
All right. Let's get into, you want to do the ad read first?
I feel like the ad read. Okay. I like it. Yeah. So you see.
The phone guy's grabbing his phone. We got to get my notes. All right. All right.
Okay. So he knows where this is going. So I know where this is going.
So you've, you've listened to 12 of these. So you've probably heard at least a couple of these.
Not many, though. Honestly, if we thought about the last 12, we,
post-grant's
buddy's deployment, we haven't had a lot of
guests. Not a ton.
Yeah, I mean,
we had the corporal
Adam.
We've had two or three
more. No, I didn't say 12
consecutive. Oh,
you went into the archives.
No, you got to start fresh and work you.
Oh, he started number one. That's a way
different. So you're on episode. You're on episode.
Oh. I'm on. I'm working my way down.
Oh.
You're counting down? Yeah.
I'm going to go back.
Anyway.
Tray backwards way to do this.
Just let her rip and see what happens.
All right.
So what we do, what we love to do with all of our guests,
even the ones that are pretty much like family,
is we want them.
We have a great sponsor, BW Tax,
good guy, better taxes.
And we always like our guests to have a little ad lib,
ad read for BW so that we can keep the line.
lights on as you've seen firsthand and trying to keep these lights on is a constant job so never ends
with that being said you can kind of take this wherever you want it it can be as short as you want
it can be as long as you want but we'll give you a couple notes and then you will take that
and we'll give you a three to one in an action and you just kind of give us an ad read for bw tax
So with that being said, some of the notes that we famously give BW,
Good Guy Better Taxes, he's based out of South Carolina,
but if you want to use him, you don't have to be in South Carolina.
You can kind of be wherever you want to.
Anywhere.
Anywhere.
Grant, what other VW fax?
He went to the Citadel.
Citadel just made it.
The furthest they've made it in college baseball in 16 years.
He's a great guy.
He's better at Texas.
he's got three kids.
And Adam, yeah, big Boston guy.
Adam, you're not there yet.
But you will understand at some point in your life.
I truly believe it.
As a guy that works for a family business,
that running a business with kids is just like it's a whole new layer.
Because it's like, what do I want to do with my life?
I want to spend all of my time with my kids.
What I also want to do?
Have money to do things with my kids.
What does it?
does that mean? I have to spend a lot of time on my business to have money for my kids.
I think BW. Tax is a perfect explanation of that. He spends a lot of time in tax season,
which is year-round, providing for his family. So I don't know, he's a great guy. He's a friend of
the podcast. If you were going to pitch him as a guy, turn it on the license of the Strenco,
that went to the University of Georgia, but was born in California. And I think,
feel like has a respect for the Northeast. I don't think you spend a lot of time up there.
No, but yeah. What would you say? Are we doing three, two, one here? Yeah, I'll give you three to one.
Yeah, that's trade job. All right. Three, two, one.
Tomahawk missiles, very cool. Paying for Tomahawk missiles with my tax refund, not so cool.
So filing last year's taxes felt like navigating the straight of her moose with a canoe with no
battle. Consider BW tax your guided missile destroyer.

Okay.
My mother.
And your mom.
Okay, cool.
I met your mom.
Sorry,
I met your mom.
Yeah.
Yeah.
His mom came to the gym social.
And he was so nonchalant like he is in the podcast.
I walk up.
People are ordering fried chicken.
He's like, this is my mom.
She's like, hey, I have sarcopenia.
And I'm like, this seems like a staged.
And so I talk to your mother.
Yeah.
And then Adam comes to me later, I go, was that really your mom?
Or did you just like stage it?
But I actually thought that like maybe you were staging a joke.
Now, I didn't have anything set up there.
No, it's great though.
Yeah, I hope she comes in.
And she should be a guest on the podcast.
That'd be like that'd be.
Yeah.
That's next.
That's next week.
That's next week.
She's actually, she joined the gym yesterday.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's actually Mrs. Tustin.

Okay.

You have an employee out there not following OSHA.
You're trying to get his attention.
And so you say, hey, okay, what are we doing?
So kind of put yourself.
in this situation. If you're trying
to get this employee petition, maybe he's not
wearing a hard hat, maybe he
I don't know, California has a much of laws.
He knows, they're breaking one of the,
they're not wearing the red color on Tuesday.
Yeah. Whatever California
has going on that day of the week.
And he are trying to
get his attention, what would you say to this guy
in a loud affirmative voice?
Okay. Are we doing a 3-2-1 or are we just
No, it's, yeah, I'll give me 3-21.
You're right? It's not him. It's on him.
Okay, it's on you. It's on you.
