Starting point is 00:00:03 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
Starting point is 00:00:58 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.
Starting point is 00:01:25 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.
Starting point is 00:01:49 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
Starting point is 00:02:07 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,
Starting point is 00:02:20 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.
Starting point is 00:02:35 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,
Starting point is 00:02:51 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.
Starting point is 00:03:05 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?
Starting point is 00:03:21 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,
Starting point is 00:03:48 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
Starting point is 00:04:37 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.
Starting point is 00:05:16 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.
Starting point is 00:05:32 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?
Starting point is 00:05:54 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.
Starting point is 00:06:12 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.
Starting point is 00:06:30 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.
Starting point is 00:06:51 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,
Starting point is 00:07:08 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?
Starting point is 00:07:25 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,
Starting point is 00:07:35 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.
Starting point is 00:08:05 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.

Starting point is 00:10:08 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

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,

Starting point is 00:14:02 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.
Starting point is 00:14:24 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.
Starting point is 00:14:41 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.
Starting point is 00:15:05 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.
Starting point is 00:15:21 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.
Starting point is 00:15:36 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.
Starting point is 00:15:58 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.
Starting point is 00:16:18 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?
Starting point is 00:16:30 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.
Starting point is 00:16:40 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.
Starting point is 00:16:55 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?
Starting point is 00:17:09 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.
Starting point is 00:17:19 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.
Starting point is 00:17:39 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.
Starting point is 00:17:54 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?
Starting point is 00:18:08 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.
Starting point is 00:18:20 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.
Starting point is 00:18:37 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.
Starting point is 00:18:50 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.
Starting point is 00:19:35 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.
Starting point is 00:19:58 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.
Starting point is 00:20:17 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.
Starting point is 00:20:40 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.
Starting point is 00:20:53 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.
Starting point is 00:21:08 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
Starting point is 00:21:28 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 point is 00:21:57 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
Starting point is 00:22:23 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.
Starting point is 00:22:43 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.
Starting point is 00:23:03 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.
Starting point is 00:23:11 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.
Starting point is 00:23:30 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
Starting point is 00:23:52 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.
Starting point is 00:24:47 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.
Starting point is 00:25:08 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.
Starting point is 00:25:21 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,
Starting point is 00:25:46 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,
Starting point is 00:26:06 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.
Starting point is 00:26:21 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,
Starting point is 00:26:37 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?
Starting point is 00:27:00 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
Starting point is 00:27:31 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,
Starting point is 00:27:45 right? Yeah. 32. Oh, he's a baby. Yeah, he's a baby. Young blood.
Starting point is 00:27:51 He's pre-fatherhood. So you're 32. You're, I'm going to guess, 5, 11, 2, 10. 2.30. 2.30?
Starting point is 00:28:01 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
Starting point is 00:28:31 150 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.
Starting point is 00:29:01 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,
Starting point is 00:29:29 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...
Starting point is 00:29:53 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
Starting point is 00:30:22 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.
Starting point is 00:30:51 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.
Starting point is 00:31:13 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.
Starting point is 00:31:24 We're all good there. But, yeah, overall, it's great. You know, it's good. It just flexes the discipline muscle.
Starting point is 00:31:32 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?
Starting point is 00:31:48 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.
Starting point is 00:32:03 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.
Starting point is 00:32:12 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.
Starting point is 00:32:27 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.
Starting point is 00:32:37 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.
Starting point is 00:33:00 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
Starting point is 00:33:19 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.
Starting point is 00:33:35 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.
Starting point is 00:33:50 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.
Starting point is 00:34:04 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.
Starting point is 00:34:39 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.
Starting point is 00:34:56 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.
Starting point is 00:35:08 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.
Starting point is 00:35:20 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.
Starting point is 00:35:32 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.
Starting point is 00:35:50 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.
Starting point is 00:36:05 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
Starting point is 00:36:22 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.
Starting point is 00:36:37 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.
Starting point is 00:36:45 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.
Starting point is 00:37:09 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.
Starting point is 00:37:27 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.
Starting point is 00:37:39 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.
Starting point is 00:37:57 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.
Starting point is 00:38:22 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.
Starting point is 00:38:49 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.
Starting point is 00:39:15 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.
Starting point is 00:39:36 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?
Starting point is 00:40:02 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.
Starting point is 00:40:10 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.
Starting point is 00:40:34 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.
Starting point is 00:40:50 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.
Starting point is 00:41:04 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.
Starting point is 00:41:16 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.
Starting point is 00:41:31 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.
Starting point is 00:41:49 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.
Starting point is 00:42:02 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.
Starting point is 00:42:22 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.
Starting point is 00:42:37 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?
Starting point is 00:42:47 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.
Starting point is 00:42:58 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.
Starting point is 00:43:17 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
Starting point is 00:43:38 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.
Starting point is 00:43:56 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?
Starting point is 00:44:24 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.
Starting point is 00:44:38 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.
Starting point is 00:44:53 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.
Starting point is 00:45:37 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,
Starting point is 00:46:02 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?
Starting point is 00:46:24 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.
Starting point is 00:46:42 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.
Starting point is 00:46:57 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.
Starting point is 00:47:22 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.
Starting point is 00:47:55 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.
Starting point is 00:48:09 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.
Starting point is 00:48:22 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.
Starting point is 00:48:44 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.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Yeah. Making a multi-series here. Really for your mom. See, he does listen, right? He listens. Mom will love this. Mom's grandsons.
Starting point is 00:49:09 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.
Starting point is 00:49:21 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.
Starting point is 00:49:54 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.
Starting point is 00:50:19 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.
Starting point is 00:50:36 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.
Starting point is 00:50:57 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.
Starting point is 00:51:19 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.
Starting point is 00:51:51 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,
Starting point is 00:52:13 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.
Starting point is 00:52:34 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.
Starting point is 00:52:45 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.
Starting point is 00:52:57 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.
Starting point is 00:53:12 Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, yeah. Uh, someday. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:14 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.
Starting point is 00:53:34 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.
Starting point is 00:53:58 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.
Starting point is 00:54:19 Yeah. Gas is so cheap. Yeah. That suck. All right. Should we go on? Should we start the show? Let's do it, man.
Starting point is 00:54:26 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.
Starting point is 00:54:35 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.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Go, please. Actually, yeah, before we forget. . Go ahead. Garden homes? Yes, actually. Okay. I own a town home because this is California,
Starting point is 00:54:52 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.
Starting point is 00:55:12 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.
Starting point is 00:55:41 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?
Starting point is 00:56:12 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
Starting point is 00:56:48 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,
Starting point is 00:57:25 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.
Starting point is 00:57:44 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.
Starting point is 00:57:55 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.
Starting point is 00:58:19 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.
Starting point is 00:58:42 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.
Starting point is 00:59:00 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.
Starting point is 00:59:17 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.
Starting point is 00:59:33 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.
Starting point is 00:59:46 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.
Starting point is 00:59:59 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.
Starting point is 01:00:26 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.
Starting point is 01:00:47 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
Starting point is 01:01:08 you can buy your American 250 pound plate you can do everything okay so Adam we this is the podcast
Starting point is 01:01:19 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
Starting point is 01:01:32 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.
Starting point is 01:01:56 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.
Starting point is 01:02:19 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.
Starting point is 01:02:37 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.
Starting point is 01:02:47 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?
Starting point is 01:02:58 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.
Starting point is 01:03:11 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.
Starting point is 01:03:25 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

I think
Starting point is 01:04:29 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.
Starting point is 01:04:45 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.
Starting point is 01:05:19 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.
Starting point is 01:06:12 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.
Starting point is 01:06:33 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.
Starting point is 01:06:55 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?
Starting point is 01:07:10 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.
Starting point is 01:07:23 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.
Starting point is 01:07:47 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.
Starting point is 01:08:00 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.
Starting point is 01:08:23 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.
Starting point is 01:08:42 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.
Starting point is 01:09:06 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.
Starting point is 01:09:32 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.
Starting point is 01:09:50 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.
Starting point is 01:10:13 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.
Starting point is 01:10:36 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.
Starting point is 01:10:58 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.
Starting point is 01:11:10 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.
Starting point is 01:11:26 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.
Starting point is 01:11:47 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.
Starting point is 01:12:00 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.
Starting point is 01:12:26 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.
Starting point is 01:12:51 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.
Starting point is 01:13:22 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.
Starting point is 01:13:47 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.
Starting point is 01:14:11 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.
Starting point is 01:14:29 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.
Starting point is 01:14:45 Yeah, Georgia is still in, right? they are they're like Mississippi State yeah go dogs go go dogs ain't
Starting point is 01:14:54 ain't em got smoked by the fake USC saw that but you're still like no we're out oh you're out
Starting point is 01:15:03 yeah so it was in the championship regional championship Auburn they lost they lost twice in a row Auburn's still in Auburn
Starting point is 01:15:11 okay say Auburn say Auburn real quick that'll probably make the end of the year review. Yeah, still one. Probably. Okay. And
Starting point is 01:15:23 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
Starting point is 01:15:41 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.
Starting point is 01:16:26 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.
Starting point is 01:16:54 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.
Starting point is 01:17:15 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.
Starting point is 01:17:29 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?
Starting point is 01:17:40 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.
Starting point is 01:17:55 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.
Starting point is 01:18:22 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.
Starting point is 01:18:44 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.
Starting point is 01:18:59 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.
Starting point is 01:19:19 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.
Starting point is 01:19:35 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.
Starting point is 01:19:52 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.
Starting point is 01:20:19 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.
Starting point is 01:20:36 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.
Starting point is 01:20:53 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.
Starting point is 01:21:22 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.
Starting point is 01:21:39 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
Starting point is 01:21:57 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.
Starting point is 01:22:27 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.
Starting point is 01:22:36 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
Starting point is 01:22:52 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?
Starting point is 01:23:07 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
Starting point is 01:23:23 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
Starting point is 01:23:39 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...
Starting point is 01:23:51 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
Starting point is 01:24:07 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.
Starting point is 01:24:40 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?
Starting point is 01:24:59 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
Starting point is 01:25:14 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.

Starting point is 01:27:07 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.
Starting point is 01:27:23 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.
Starting point is 01:27:38 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.
Starting point is 01:27:53 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.
Starting point is 01:28:11 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.
Starting point is 01:28:23 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.
Starting point is 01:28:54 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.
Starting point is 01:29:07 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?
Starting point is 01:29:38 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.
Starting point is 01:30:07 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.
Starting point is 01:30:26 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.
Starting point is 01:30:48 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.
Starting point is 01:31:01 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
Starting point is 01:31:31 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.
Starting point is 01:31:48 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.
Starting point is 01:32:02 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.
Starting point is 01:32:21 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,
Starting point is 01:33:10 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.
Starting point is 01:33:26 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,
Starting point is 01:33:40 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,
Starting point is 01:34:08 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

Starting point is 01:36:03 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.
Starting point is 01:36:22 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.
Starting point is 01:36:40 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.
