All right, and welcome back to episode 02121 021 for your military types, your artillery
men that speak in artillery numbers 021. No bingos here of the OK podcast powered by the
strength. I'm your host, Grant Brogy. We're coming to you live on Tuesday May 21st well we're not
coming to you live we'll come to you on Friday but it's live here for us we are
currently living life on Tuesday the 21st in summertime summertime in the
south I don't think it's technically summer is it when summer start I mean
no it's not now it's spring
but it's a homeschool education but you can still see a little bit of light out there
which tells me that summer's coming dude when i was in indiana for a long time we were on the
edge of eastern day eastern state uh was it called eastern standard standard time yeah
eastern southern time eastern southern time southern time that's what i'm on but we were
on the very edge of it so in the, a lot of people hated it because it would
like sundown would be at like 10 PM. Oh yeah. Wow. Yeah. You, you, you're out all day. You
could fish all night, fish all night. And then when you went into work in the morning
at like 8 AM, it's like dark. Yeah. Terrible. Yeah. I didn't like it. I didn't like it the
other way around though. I remember the only time I visited Boston, which you like big fan, big fan. You've already hit Indiana and
Boston before you've even given the price of Bitcoin. They're playing a playoff game right
now. Hey, there you go. But the only time I went to Boston, I can't remember what time of year it
was, but I just remember the sun was like setting at four 30. Oh yeah. Cause it's on the other edge
of EST. Yeah, that's right. And I remember we were walking around and we were like, man, we've been walking around for hours at night. Like
what time it must be so late. And we looked at the clock. It's like seven 45, 6 15 PM. Not that late.
No, but I don't know. I don't know which one I'd take. Ah, well I like the, uh,
yeah, I don't know. I just liked that as an an adult i forget every year that it changes drastically
i've done this 36 times every year i'm like whoa i can't believe how light it is this late
and then you know this winter i'll be saying whoa i can't believe how early it gets dark
every time it's shocking which one's better fall forward or spring back is in fall forward is is better which one do you gain an hour of sleep
so spring back spring back yeah spring back is way better way no one likes to fall forward no no no
you spring back like hip drive out of a squat and then everybody's like i'm so tired look at this
dude 70 000 117 70 000 is the price of Bitcoin. So everyone that was freaking
out last week, calm down when we hit the sixties, 70,000, 70,000. Do you know when we started this
podcast January 4th, 2024, the price of Bitcoin was 40,500. So basically everybody's welcome.
Exactly. Yeah, exactly. I mean everybody's welcome. Exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, what, what percentage increase is that?
I mean, let me, I, I, now I'm homeschooled. I didn't get the common core stuff.
I didn't go to Harvard like my brothers, but I know that 10% of 40, I just know it's like,
it's four.
I'm like, it's like 75, something like that.
something like that and i know that four times three is 12 and i know that 12 uh times two is 24 and that 40 plus 24 is 64 and we're even more than that yeah i'm gonna say 26.5 percent
it's 75 i nailed it off off the guess wait 75 yeah increase oh it's 75 increase yeah is that right yeah you know how i did 70 divided by
40 oh yeah yeah anyway you know what i did i was like school i was like well a double is 100
oh you're you're thinking of it that way yeah it's funny we went different
different sides of the mountain there i was just like like, oh, doubles 80,000. That's 100. A little less than that. All right. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Okay. So we're up 75%.
Everyone's welcome. Bitcoin's up 75%. So just keep listening to the podcast. Keep sending us
crypto clocks. You could send us like a crypto sign we could put here. We still got the apartment
thing going on here in the studio, even though this is a studio. So you can send us like a crypto sign we could put here. You know, we still got the apartment thing going on here in the studio,
even though this is a studio.
So, you know, you can send us some crypto stuff like Zach Copley did.
Shout out with the Block Clock Mini.
And once that changes, we'll give you the block height
so that Jory doesn't have to look it up himself, or PJ, rather.
Don't say my government name.
Yeah, don't tell him your government name.
You lost in a boating accident.
That's right. Why is it that there's such a common core between carnivore, Bitcoin, and barbell training?
It's weird. What is that? It's weird. You know, what's funny is I just did an ads meeting with my
ex-rep. And it's crazy. We run a lot of ads on Google. You have to if you're going to be a
competitor. When I say we, I mean the Strength Co.
We're not running ads for the OK Podcast yet outside of BW Tax Ads.
And I got like a regional person.
So the gal I met with is in Charlotte.
Oh, cool.
She's like, I see you've been running ads.
And I'm like, yeah.
And she's like, so like your last ad, like I'm looking at your keywords here.
You did meat, carnivore, Bitcoin, weight training, Mark Ripito starting strength,
you know, she like list off all this stuff. And she's like, so like, I'm like a little bit
confused. Like, how did you come up with this? So are we? And I was like, well, what I've realized
having like tried to sell this for quite some time is is that it seems that people that don't trust
everything the government says right when they tell them, or think that alternative currency to
fiat is a good thing, or that maybe things found in plastic bags and highly processed in the
grocery store aren't good for you, or that maybe medicine can't fix your muscular atrophy as you age
all seem to like the same things and she goes wow i'm so in your demographic and i was like wow
welcome aboard welcome aboard so um would you like to buy some plates yeah would you like to
buy some plates we can offer your home gym then we can do some coaching yeah you can buy it in
bitcoin how about that yeah so i don't know. It seems to be there.
But if you guys have ideas for keywords for our
X ads, hit us
up on X, the OK underscore
pod. You can always find me, Grant
SSC.
Yeah, but also
fat because starting strength makes you
fat. Starting strength makes you fat. Wait, real
quick. I see the robots are talking to us.
The block height, so we know what we did this when we did it.
844-512.
You don't say this in dollars.
No, no, no.
It's just the height of the block.
This is just counting the blocks.
So is it in inches?
No, it's just the blocks.
It's just number of blocks.
The total number of blocks.
The blocks is the unit.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I totally understand this.
Yeah, totally.
Yeah, 844.
So do I say thousands?
844,000. 512 blocks. Yeah. Yeah. Eight, four, four. So do I say thousands? 844,512 blocks is equal to
$70,144 of Bitcoin, which is one Bitcoin. Yeah. I don't know if people connected like that,
but you know, that, that, that block of information, if you want your, if you want
your seat at the table in the, in the Swiss bank account in the sky known as Bitcoin,
If you want your seat at the table in the Swiss bank account in the sky known as Bitcoin,
it's worth that much.
Okay.
Got it.
Got it.
Tracking now.
Yeah.
Mark Robito made us fat.
We did a video this week.
Pros and cons of starting strength.
This just in.
There's no cons.
No, but we did cover some of the things that people don't like about it or what they might not like about it when they run it.
Cliff notes. I will say, though, if you're listening to this podcast, you probably subscribe
to the YouTube and you probably already watched all 12 minutes of that video. But if for some
reason you didn't, it's basically like, hey, if you're new to strength training, it's not the
only way to get strong, but it's definitely the most time efficient way to get strong.
Yeah. And if you get strong and you're running the program gets kind of boring. So I still think boring is effective and it's hard,
which is also effective. But yeah, so that's what we talked about.
So good video there. What else is happening on YouTube?
I don't know,
but I do think maybe the solution is you just buy the,
buy the blue book and then you buy a Zempik and then your problems are
solved. Yeah. Zempic fixes everything you just
take a shot boom remove all hard work right remove all self-control remove um everything
just take the shot and stop eating yeah so i say and rip has said and people have said when someone
wants to lose weight eat less some people struggle people struggle with this. So you just inject
yourself and then you eat less. But there's one rule. You can't act like you're not an
Oh, Zipik, because we know you, we know you, you, you're our friend. We've talked to you
over the years. You've always been overweight. And then all of a sudden it's like, ah,
picked up Pilates. Uh, no, hon. That's not what's happening here.
Pretty sure there's more to that.
Yeah.
Pretty sure your Pilates machine or your downward dog in your yoga didn't shed 50 pounds.
What's your take on that?
I'm just curious.
On Ozempic?
Yeah.
So, okay.
Ozempic recreationally, I feel like it's a bad idea, but let's say for the case of like,
all right, this guy is a hundred pounds overweight. Like it's bad.
He struggled for years for whatever reasons, whatever behavioral,
psychological reasons there are. Would,
what's your take on that guy using Ozempic meaning, Hey,
with all of the guy, all of this guy's willpower,
it may take him a long time or probably never.
And he gets all that joint damage.
He gets all that cardiovascular damage.
He gets all the arteries blocked.
All of that.
What if he could take Ozempic?
Maybe there's some side effects,
but what are the side effects of being a hundred pounds overweight?
Is that worse?
Yeah.
So I don't know the side effects of Ozempic.
I'm sure there are some,
I don't know that we all know the side effects of Ozempic.
It's like,
imagine if we all got sick with a cold in 2020.
We were like, hey, we should all take this shot.
What?
And it's like, wait, we don't know anything about it.
Just take it anyway.
And here's four more of them.
You're saying we should mandate Ozempic.
Yeah, we should mandate Ozempic.
End obesity in America for everyone.
Grant Brogy, 2028.
That's my platform. Ozempic for all. If you don't take the shot if you don't take the shot big shot you're killing your grandma you're killing grandma
yeah yeah exactly yeah yeah but uh no I don't know I mean I think there's upside to not being obese
yeah clearly like yeah and there and there's and there's upside of like you're gonna feel better
you're gonna look better so your confidence is probably gonna be, you're going to feel better. You're going to look better. So your confidence is probably going to be up.
You're probably going to have better relationships.
Not that people that are overweight don't have those things.
But I guess I should put it this way.
If you're overweight and don't like the fact that you're overweight
and you have health concerns, high blood pressure, hypertension,
these things, then maybe it's a solution.
That's kind of how I feel.
Yeah.
I don't know.
You put me on the spot here.
I did.
All 500 listeners are going to be like, Grant says he hates Ozempic.
Yeah.
No, no.
I don't know the answer either, but someone brought that up the other day,
and my take was like, man, for some some use cases it's like i don't know what
these mysterious side effects would be i don't think we know so far i do know that it clearly
works oh it definitely clearly is effective i mean i have clients on it i have lots of folks on it
it works uh there's no doubt i know people that are you have clients that are on Ozempic? Yeah. Oh, no way. Yeah. And it almost gets to the point that they have to make sure that they eat.
And if they're weight training, they have to like really make sure.
Right.
Because I've had a couple of people tell me, guys and gals, yeah, when I'm on Ozempic, I just don't want to eat.
And it gets to the point like where I feel like I'm going to pass out.
Yeah. Probably getting enough protein is difficult. I'm going to pass out. Yeah.
Probably getting enough protein is difficult. It's going to be difficult.
Yeah.
So yeah,
I don't know.
I mean,
it's a free country.
Do whatever you want.
Do whatever you want.
I put you on the spot.
This is America.
No,
I like it.
I just don't know.
I don't know the literature and I'm probably not going to go back and study
the literature.
I'm a practical application kind of guy.
So,
um,
yeah, it seems pretty good so far. Don quote me on this if in three years it makes you like grow a third
doctor pj but i did hear also like this this with a similar glue tide or whatever it's called like
this has been used for a long time for other applications like for diabetics or for other
use cases so it's not like hey we invented this new thing. They just rebranded it for weight loss.
Exactly.
And they,
I think they upped the dosage,
which could be a thing,
but it's kind of like,
okay,
this isn't going to obviously like kill you right away.
Because if,
if it did,
we'd see people dropping dead.
So I'm not saying it's safe.
Although if they were dropping dead for like diabetes and other things,
they would just blame it on the diabetes.
That's true. The medical people never blamed the medicine uh it's just the way it goes we've never
seen that before but yeah okay i just was wondering yeah no i mean i think uh if you're
taking ozempic and you want to reach out to the okay podcast and you want to we'll interview you
come on we i'd love to hear from someone in their results. If you've lost 50 pounds or more.
If you've lost 50 pounds or more and you're lifting weights.
Yeah.
And you own at least some share of Bitcoin.
We want to talk to you.
Give us a call.
1-800-OK-PODCAST.
I mean, just kidding.
www.theokpodcast.com.
Reach out to us on any social.
Okay.
I do want to talk about, before we bring the guys on here, the importance of following a program. And I feel like I talk a lot about the importance or the value of being strong so that you don't have to follow a program.
If you get strong, then every time you go into the gym and you lift something that's considerably heavy,
and again, this is all relative to your strength.
I'm going to give my numbers as an example, but it's just, it's just, uh,
it doesn't really matter. The number doesn't really matter. The point is this. If you're a guy like me, six, one, two 20, and you start lifting and you squat one 55, doesn't do a whole
bunch for you. I does enough to, for you to be able to squat one 60, but it's really not that
stressful in terms of your height, your size, your body weight. So, you know, you run
a program like starting strength and you get strong and you can squat, I don't know, 405 for
five by five, you know, that's what I can do. And now that's super stressful and you're kind of
strong. I mean, it's, you know, double body weight that you're lifting for a set of five almost,
um, or almost double body weight for a set
of five. And so you can get away with, hey, if I get busy, if life gets hectic, I can go in the gym,
I can knock out one lift, and I can do it really heavy. I can go in and I can squat 405 for three
sets of five. And that's enough stress that I'm not weakling, and I'm not atrophying, and I'm not weakling and I'm not atrophying and I'm carrying muscle mass. Am I making progress?
Maybe, probably not, but I can maintain. And then maybe I miss the next day. Then the next day I go
in and I deadlift two sets of whatever, five at 430. And then I do some bench presses at 275,
whatever, which is, by the way, freakish bench press behavior. If you're doing anything over 225, you're a genetics freak.
You're a genetics.
But if you get strong, if you run a program to get strong,
and I would make the argument that you need to be very focused
and diligent to run a program to get strong.
If you get strong, when life gets crazy and busy,
you can kind of do less to sustain and maintain.
And that's what I do a lot.
And that's what I would say I've been doing kind of like the last nine to 10 months is, hey, I go into the gym. Yeah,
I still write my workouts down. Yeah, I still pay attention. Yeah, I still try to add weight.
But at the same time, you know, I might squat on a Monday bench on a Tuesday, deadlift on
a Wednesday, Miss Thursday and Friday going on Saturday squat and press or something.
And it's like these rolling days. And you're just
trying to like keep your head above water and keep everything hard and make sure you're working hard.
Say, let's say we launched our new program on our Slack, $20 a month and join our Slack. We
have three programming tracks. And it's a 15 week program I wrote where kind of volume
or intensity rises over time along with the volume. And, uh, you know, it's percentage based
and this is not designed for like, don't come join. If you haven't done some type of strong
lifts, starting strength, some type of linear progression to get you strong. If you come in
and you put in a 200 pound back squat and you're a 200 pound male, like you don't need to be running
this program, but if actually got strong, it works anyway. I sell it
to say I haven't like run a program specifically and I was like you know
what this block I'm going to run the program and I'm going to time lapse my
workouts and I'm going to drop it in the slack channel so that the forty
guys in there can see me doing it in man.
It sucks,
you know, because sometimes, like if you're in like a maintenance mode,
you go in and squat and you may, I'm guilty of this.
I walk into my, I'm going to squat and I'm going to bench.
And then I just totally gas at the squat.
I'm like, you know what?
I'm strong.
I'll just roll that bench tomorrow.
I'll just do this tomorrow.
And then it's like Rose.
Rose don't really do anything.
You don't need to do just skip the Rose. And so now I'm running this program and it was like rows rows don't really do anything you don't need to do just skip the rows
and so now i'm running this program and it was like the first week it was 75 i'll just give a
squat example 75 for four sets of three and i'm like 375 for triples easy but i had written in
there like in the first i think it's four weeks like only rest two minutes and so the force is
three or five but this week it went to five sets three and man I got there set five and I'm like a full sweat all over
my coupe puffy jacket tee and I'm just like sweat dropping on the floor and I
do it and I'm like now I have to bench now I have to row not to do push-ups but
just like having someone make you add five pounds on the bar when you don't
want to because last time was hard following some type of structure is useful and this is always my take on intermediates. If you're
an intermediate, I don't know what programs the best the best programs, the one that you'll
follow and the one that you'll follow it. I assume if you're following an intermediate
programming, you're following something written by someone with somewhat of intelligence.
It could be AI. It could be really any way it
could be any of these programs you can download. But if you'll actually follow it and do everything
it says for the prescribed amount of time, 12, 15, 16, whatever it is, weeks, you'll have progress
because it just holds you accountable. So anyway, I just like I've been there before, but after, you know, the last three quarters of me hanging
on and doing maintenance, I'm like, man, yep.
I got a program.
These guys are expecting me to put in what I did.
Better do it.
Better do it.
Better do it.
Yeah.
I mean, I think that the hardest part of strength training and most things, but if we're just
talking about strength training, the hardest part is not lifting the waist. The hardest part is showing up to the gym and the
behavior of it. And while I believe that you would agree that we're all about willpower over here and
being disciplined and all of that stuff, you know, and so Zempic and Zempic, the three keys of
success, you know, in some, sometimes I find myself agreeing with this a lot. If something's really
hard for you, like showing up for the gym, instead of forcing yourself and trying to gain some
willpower that you don't have, just take it out of your hands. Just, just, just be like, I'm
outsourcing this. Someone else is going to tell me how to do this. Someone else can tell me how
to do this. And then I'm going to feel deep shame if I don't actually do this. So now I actually
show up. I don't think that's, I think sometimes you just need to like get your, get your butt out of bed and show up to the gym. But I mean, a lot of
times it's better just to be like, you know what? No, I'm going to take my willpower out of this.
Just like put myself on a program, tell someone else I'm doing it, sign up, pay some money,
all of that. And it's going to work. Like it actually works. I'm, I'm pro.
No, it's like the little challenges we do within the Slack community. We did January, we did 10,000 steps a day. I forgot what February was, but we do
something once a month. Oh, we just did a weight loss thing where you just literally, I wouldn't
even call it weightless thing. You just had to weigh yourself and type it in every day.
But it's funny that that is a weight loss thing.
It does work. And you made people pay. Hey hey you got to pay ten dollars to get in here
yep and it's like oh now i have to do it uh yeah it's interesting yeah all right let's get these
guys on here episode zero two one no bingos here of the okay okay oh we're doing tandems now i see okay podcast power by the strength

What's up?
Oh.
Goodness gracious. This camera really is looking good, T you don't look pretty don't look pretty yeah you look beautiful yeah you look great like it's like the ozempic of cameras
yeah yeah we were talking about ozempic before this oh sweet that was what y'all were talking
about is that our next sponsor that's the next sponsor potential potential based off how the ad read went yeah i've heard speaking of ozempic have you heard of these
things called it's called ozempic babies apparently like promotes fertility in women oh
really and so like older women who've been like using ozempic have been getting pregnant i have
heard of this actually okay. Okay. Really?
Yeah.
Listen, by the way, I am not a doctor,
so this might all be fake news.
When they come out skinny, too.
Skinny babies.
He gives financial advice, not doctor advice. Yeah, only financial advice.
But I'm curious.
I wonder if that's related to...
Don't some people take metformin as a fertility enhancer? And that's related to your insulin't some people take like metformin as like a fertility enhancer and that's
related to like your insulin controlling your insulin i wonder if it's like that class of drugs
just like is related to that i don't know i have no idea all right get healthy get pregnant
or take ozempic yeah that's what i mean high blood pressure and want to get pregnant? Ozempic.
Beach body and a baby.
Yeah.
I don't know.
No one likes a skinny baby.
You want like a chunky monkey.
Of course.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Skinny baby's kind of off-putting.
Yeah.
Right?
You don't want to be like, what's going on with that baby?
Are you making it do push-ups?
Like, what kind of parent are you?
Are you not feeding it everything it wants?
What's going on?
Baby's getting its fives back.
Go mad immediately.
Come on. Seriously. I was a skinny baby.
I can't say anything. That's the issue.
That's the issue. Are you an olympic baby?
Maybe. Who knows?
I think I'm a boomer baby.
What's that mean? The boomer
generation. Oh,
how right? Yeah, I don don't know it's too personal how
how old were your parents when you were born uh 35 when were the boomers oh oh you were yeah
you were baby yeah you were yeah my dad is barely a boomer and he was he had me at 30 yeah so you're
a boomer baby too yeah well my mom is it so i'm half boomer you're a boomer, baby too. Yeah. Well, my mom is it.
So I'm half boomer.
You're half boomer.
Yeah.
What's the,
what's the cutoff?
It's like,
I think it's like 64,
65,
somewhere in there.
Some,
something like that.
Yeah.
The end of the boomer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's why like,
we don't know how to set our,
our,
our own routers and stuff because it's like a boomer gene that just goes
through like, how do I get
on the Wi-Fi?
Dad just click grits his password and my
phone's going to pop up share password. No, no,
no, no, no.
Is this going to cost me money?
That's my favorite thing.
Yeah, exactly.
I was doing it. Was it like in middle school
you have like Aol like chat yeah instant
yeah and whatever's called there this is gonna cost me does this cost me money like no it doesn't
he's like are you sure i'm like well no not really but am i i don't know in mind yeah my dad asked me
recently so what's an oil change cost in greenville i was like that's such a dad question
so what's an oil change cost in greenville i was like that's such a dad question yeah i don't know or change your own oil uh no
i mean granddad updated me apparently sam's are 67 cents a pop so wow wow that's cheaper than
bitcoin i was bitcoin now yeah bitcoin's at 71 000 no it's gone up so yes that is cheaper than Bitcoin. How is Bitcoin up now? Yeah, Bitcoin's at $71,000.
No, it's gone up.
So yes, that is cheaper than Bitcoin.
A little cheaper than Bitcoin.
Was it cheaper than an oil change, though?
We'll never know.
Input your Bitcoin money and just transfer it to stamps.
Yeah.
And then pay for your oil changes and stamps.
Stamps just keep going up.
Steady investment. They just keep going up. Steady investment.
They just keep going.
A forever stamp, I'm telling you.
Actually, I wonder what the rate of return
would be on stamps if you bought them
like 20 years ago.
What would they then? A cent?
Just use stamps as currency?
That's a 67X.
I don't know. I remember stamps went
to 32 cents when I was somewhere between 10 and 13. That's a 67X. I don't know. I remember stamps went to 32 cents when I was like somewhere between 10 and 13.
And I don't know what they...
It was a big deal.
Yeah.
It was a big deal.
I want to say they were 25 cents before.
They were a quarter or maybe less.
But it went to 32 cents.
My dad was like up in arms.
Oh, yeah.
Federal government coming for you.
First, they take your pennies for your stamps.
Then they take your five, five, six for your AR-15, son.
This is true.
That's the order.
That's the order.
Amen.
Anyway, Jeff's got a whole slide deck there, and we're rambling about it.
No, this is good, though.
You got to let it flow.
You got to let it flow.
This one was, you'll see them a little random jumping into it but i know it was on the it was
in the slide deck last week and we didn't didn't get to it but trey wants to know it's all random
your best officer of the day stories there's a little little marine corps throwback
well then trey you have to go first yeah and why does this involve a gun and me yeah and then explain no
that's not and that's not even my best one explain what officer of the day is and how much i like
grant i feel like grant's very good at explaining translating to the civilian population okay
yeah for pj for pj five other listeners so officer of the day okay so if you're a battalion commander
or regimental commander or whatever level commander you are you are the person that is
responsible for everything that happens in the unit but you also have a wife and children at
the end of the work day you go home and so you so you go home at, I don't know, 1700.
We're not playing the parking lot game.
You go home at 5 p.m.
And you don't come back to work till 7 a.m. tomorrow.
So someone takes the role of anything that the commander should know will
come through me.
And that's called the officer of the day. The enlisted side, they're like a barracks duty. that the commander should know will come through me.
And that's called the officer of the day.
The enlisted side, they're like a barracks duty.
Like after 5 p.m.
Yeah, whatever time the guy leaves work.
Okay.
So what that means, if you're like an OOD,
it's usually like you're a lieutenant,
is you have to put on the special uniform,
you carry a gun, and you go sit in the office like at the
sally porter the entrance and you're like there and if the phone rings you answer it and there's
a special phone number that if anything's going wrong in the unit you answer it and then there's
all these duties enlisted duties throughout like wherever you're at and if they have an issue they
they come to you that sounds like a tough gig like Yeah, it's a really tough gig. Super tough gig.
It's babysitting.
Yeah, it's babysitting.
It's overnight, though?
It's overnight.
Yeah, that sucks.
This is the kicker.
You get it on a Tuesday,
so you work Tuesday,
whatever time, 06 to 1600,
but then you have to check in for duty at 1600,
and then you don't check off for duty until 08 the next morning,
and then guess what?
You go back to work the next day. You're right back to work and uh do you sleep well so you have a
you have a counterpart and so but you have all these things you have to do like go over there
and make sure that building's locked there's a chain fence over there make sure that the chains
around the fence and that it's locked go by this guy this
time and you have this big green book it's literally a big green like government issued
notebook so official and you have to take it you have to take a ruler and put it on like the line
that you're going to write on and you write you know whatever 2230 OOD secures motor pool.
2222.
Private first-class Biggie's mother called,
worried about him requesting callback from Sergeant Major.
Like anything that happens, you log.
You have to log everything. You have to log.
Okay.
Yeah.
So it's awful, but it's great because it's honor,
courage, commitment, kill.
But yeah,
that's OOD.
So now with that tray,
it's yeah.
And so I'll just preface this.
The worst one to get.
And usually the new guys will usually get it is like a weekend duty.
Right.
Or like July 4th.
Cause it's like you,
you work all week and then like,
and then,
Oh yeah.
Or like a holiday or something like that.
And then you sit, you're just there all day saturday so usually if you get on a wednesday during the day
the boss is there yeah so you just do your normal job yeah and then you're only like
nighttime through the next morning but if you get it on a saturday it's all day one you should be
off and two you're wearing this uncomfortable uniform and it's all day. One, you should be off. And two, you're wearing this uncomfortable uniform,
and it's all day long.
Okay, that's a grind.
Okay, continue.
And it's, yeah, it's just, it's brutal.
So when I first started, I'll go first.
When I first started, second lieutenant, relatively new,
I was paying my dues, and I got tagged with the Saturday.
You started as a second lieutenant?
Jeff and I started as captains.
Oh, that's my tip.
Was it promoted during Fort Sill?
Yeah, carry on.
And so I was duty on a Saturday.
I think it was with Staff Sergeant Vargas.
Good guy. Really, really liked working with him.
And the duty was nice when I first started because we had a TV in there.
So you can kind of kill some time and watch TV.
And it was during college football.
So I remember I was sitting here like on a Saturday and when you're sitting, dude, you're
supposed to stay like perfect uniform the whole entire time.
Like keep your cover on.
Like, yeah, because whenever you're carrying a weapon, you have to cover your hat on.
So you can't carry a weapon.
Obviously cover on yeah
makes perfect sense is there an explanation or is that just like that's what you do
uh there's probably an explanation but the three of us don't know that's probably yeah
everyone knows yeah guns don't work if you're done with a hat on yeah you wear your cover which
means usually you walk inside a building you take your cover off okay but if you're under arms carrying a sword oh so it's more of like an identification thing
maybe yeah customs and courtesies look at the civilian being smart over here yeah uh yeah no
I would say that's probably correct yeah because you see the guy he wears a special belt and you're
like oh it's the duty okay I gotta continue a cool little arm thing that goes right here and oh yeah nice so you're supposed to
be so i was supposed to be like wearing my my cover right yep had my gun everything but it's
like first or second game and like i'm i'm into like a saturday duty and i'm just like killing
time i don't know. Real, real relaxed.
So I take my cover off, have my feet like on the desk.
Like really, and we're just, staff sergeant has his cover off.
He's like on his phone texting, like tweeting, doing whatever he's doing.
So we're real laid back right now in duty, right?
So the duty office was at the it was at the end of the
building first floor and i as the corner of my eye i was next to a window i see somebody walk by
but as soon as they walk by there's a door and they walk straight into the office right
and so i see someone at the corner i walk by like two people turn around come in and like all i see is like silver like a lot of it like on a collar right
i'm like i'm like a brass like oh man this i was like a bunch of stars right here right so i'm like
okay this guy's important and so i'm like i feel like i know i should stand up i have my cover on
because you're supposed to call attention on deck, right?
Yeah.
Or at a minimum, get up and salute.
For the one other person in the room, yeah.
Or at least stand up, salute them, get in the green of the day, whatnot.
I don't have my cover on. I halfway stand up, and then the base general walks in and is like, ask me.
He's like, oh, how's the game going?
Oh, who's playing right now? And I'm like, and I'm like, Oh, okay.
He's pretty laid back. It must be, he must be okay with this. And so, okay.
Yeah. And so I give him like the, Hey, George is playing so-and-so here's the
score. He's like, Hey, you can keep, keep with the good work.
And then like the base Sergeant major as they're leaving,
like pulls a staff sergeant out and is like hey let me talk to you
and then i'm he's like okay so he pulls staff sergeant out staff sergeant comes back he's like
we're in big trouble i was like awesome so fantastic i go okay i had no idea who that
guy was at the time so i go go on the wall there's a wall of pictures from the president all the way down to like the
regimental battalion commander, right? I go, go on the wall and stop whenever you find him and
tell me who that is. And so he starts with the president and he's like vice president, like
going down and he doesn't go down that far. And he gets the base general. He like writes it down,
like write down the logbook. i'm like okay so we get a
phone call from like the exo like everybody like yelling at us of like what are you doing like
why aren't you wearing your cover long story short we show up on monday morning there's a uh a new
order base a base order that comes down saying no more tvs on while on duty i feel like i left i left it in
a better legacy it's a legacy impact yeah he did it he did it added value
that's brutal man that's brutal stories come to mind for you quick jeff um i i i got super lucky in that i never really had like anything wild happen one quick one
would be i remember i was with is when i was chopped over to third battalion first marine so
infantry um battalion as like one of their like company fire support officers or like the artillery guy that gets attached to do stuff
for the company level
and like on duty and like the
XO was just like
this real like dickhead
guy won't say
his name but he was just not
like just
yeah yeah very very
fiery individual people did not like him
yeah Brian yeah yeah very very fiery individual people did not like him yeah brian yeah yeah yeah and so
and so i go to like do duty changeover and i think like
and on this one like it was not a sleeping post so you're just like dead tired like you've been
up all night so some of them you you don't ever get to sleep so some of them are sleeping posts
there's a cot in there and you grab like your counterpart and you're like hey you you watch everything for
a little bit and you sleep for like two hours okay some of them you're just like you're up all night
and so i could go in to like do duty changeover and like i get like halfway through and he like
stops me and he's like did you shave this morning and i was like uh you know i forgot i had like forgot
or like i don't know the whole night was like a blur so i was like oh no sir i like i i forgot
to shave but i'm gonna shower and change over and shave before i like go go report to work and he
was like oh shit that's unacceptable blah blah blah blah blah like just starts chewing me out
right there on the spot and he's's like, come out to the hallway.
So out in the hallway are like command photos for every person that's been a battalion commander
for 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines ever.
So like in the history of the battalion, like all the pictures are on the wall,
but there's like some that like are missing a photo and it's like just a name.
And he's like, see this person right here
like it reads off the name he's like you need to find you need to find the picture that goes here
and you need to give it to me next week i need to have a full report on like this guy's bio
and so i'm like oh shit all right and then like later that day i'm like googling i'm like wait
i'm not gonna find like if no one at like the marine
corps like archives has a picture of this guy google is not gonna like find a picture of this
guy from vietnam or like before that whatever it was yeah and so i was just like you know what
i'm gonna not do it and just see what happens. Nothing happened. And they just completely forgot about it.
I thought for sure you turned in photos of like Luke Skywalker and Anakin
Vader.
And I thought you were still working on it to this day.
I'm still working on it.
Yeah.
Track it down.
One day.
I was like,
that's crazy.
How am I going to just find this photo if no
okay but i'll make mine real short and i probably have some better ones but one that i think was
funny is while we were at fort sill your your recruit your uh your officers your students
in this thing but there's also enlisted mar Marines that are being trained at Fort Sill. Fort Sill's
the artillery schoolhouse in Lawton, Oklahoma. And so like, you don't know anything. You've
never been to a unit yet. You've never like checked in. You've never done anything. Like
you've only been through like basic training and now you're learning artillery, but like,
you don't know how to officer. No disrespect to my TBS instructors instructors but like you just you have no practical application
and the and the fort sale instructors the captains like convinced the colonel over fort sill
that they shouldn't have to stand duty and that the lieutenants that were part of you know the
schoolhouse should rotate duty so i go to stand duty in a barracks at Fort Sill on a Saturday night.
And it's full of 18-year-olds.
It's full of junior enlisted Marines that are literally leaving, going to strip clubs,
drinking underage, coming back, bringing in stuff that they're not allowed to have.
And I just remember being up all night.
I was with a gunny and we reported everything.
But no,
it was,
it was just like,
I don't know how to deal with any of this.
And then like later on,
it like dawned on me,
like four years in the Marine Corps.
I'm like,
Oh,
those captains just didn't want to stand duty.
So they were like,
Oh,
put the second lieutenants in there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a story.
That reminded me of another one real quick if we got time.
Yeah.
Even going back before.
So at TBS, like you have to stand duty.
Like, I don't know.
It's like once or twice out of six months or something like that.
Again, it's to expose you, to train you, to get you ready for when you're an officer in the fleet.
And so you're a student but then there's also like one of the captains that's like an instructor
there that is like the duty for all of the companies that are like training and so he
usually comes around and like checks in with you and like remember this one particularly he wasn't
an instructor in our in our company but like so he comes in he's like
all right hey yeah lieutenant like we're gonna go on a tour we're gonna walk around we're gonna go
check these barracks and it's like later at night and he's like we like get outside and we're like
walking over to one building he's like oh we're gonna go we're gonna find some lieutenants having
sex up and and like because you could not like have sex on camp barrett or whatever it was like
you weren't supposed to it was big offense but he was convinced that like he was gonna catch him so
he's like we're gonna go if you like walk all the way up to the there's like the floor where like
people are staying and have their rooms and like stuff and then there was like another floor or
like sort of thing above that that was like probably access to like hvac stuff and
whatever but he was like ah i'm gonna catch someone up here like let's go we're gonna get
him and he like takes me on this like caper we search all the like the buildings no one no one's
up there but he was like i know and we probably just missed him i know He was so close. It's his mission in life.
So close.
His name was Dexter.
That's funny, man.
That was a good one.
I got a thousand, I think.
Yeah.
We can save some for next time.
Next slide.
Let's see.
Who here was able to get through the Terrence Howard, uh, episode of
Joe Rogan for the Joe Rogan listeners. I got through about 38 minutes and I'm still high from
it. Whenever he, he opened up and he was like, my first memory was in my mom's uterus. I was like, what? What are we listening to right here?
I remember being in the womb.
I heard
so much about it from people
that I like
and respect of being like,
what is this? I was like, yeah, I'm not going to listen
to that.
He's like,
hydrogen isn't the key of E.
I was like, they were talking about it in our Zoom class,
and I said, I was like, I'm sorry, who's Terrence Howard?
And that's not Grampy and stupid, but they're like,
oh, he's like the friend in Iron Man.
In the first one.
I'm like, that helped me zero.
So I'm like Googling him as I'm on zoom and I'm like oh
I've definitely seen this guy's face but like everything he's been in I don't know anything
about like it's uh like what's his biggest hustle and flow I feel like I won some awards for that
one okay which if you'd seen that I'd'd be very surprised. Yeah. Someone described him as the actor's actor. Oh,
Oh, I get that. Cause I, there's people who say,
I was in music for a long time and people say like, Oh,
that's like a musician's musician. Meaning like, I mean,
I get what it means, but why, why do they say he's that? Oh, I just,
if it's the same as if it's the same as music, it's like,
he's kind of like gone
down the rabbit hole of like, oh, he's, he's like real deep into like the theory of acting
and like actors would appreciate his technique, but like the general public would be like,
I don't know.
It just, he's an iron man.
Right.
Right.
So, um, that's, yeah, that guy, that one, I was crazy though.
He was like, hydrogen is in the key of E. And if you go up an octave, you get carbon
or something like that. And he was trying to like put all these things together. I'm like, hydrogen is the key of E. And if you go up an octave, you get carbon or something like that.
I was trying to like put all these things together.
I'm like,
he's definitely has a creative mind.
I will give him that.
I don't know how accurate that creativity is,
but like he does make some connections.
It's you say something crazy enough.
Then no one can confirm it.
You're like,
okay,
that's what we should do,
man.
Jeff can't hear anything now he's just listening to whalen
this is your time
if you're listening to this podcast and not watching it you're missing out head over to
the okay podcast on youtube and subscribe and you'll see grant's cats jeff's cats
trey's nice new camera pj's hats, my 10X and Stetson.
Even if you want to just listen to it on the podcast channels, we love that.
Just go subscribe to the YouTube anyway, just so we can do it.
Get that algorithm going.
A lot of times I just watch it with no sound on.
Just, just, you know.
Oh, it's on a loop in our house.
Yeah, exactly.
With the sound on.
Yeah.
Diana loves it.
Turn it all the way up every night just watch the okay podcast nice nice loop loop it oh okay in the in our little thread here you
put high school graduation so is your you just graduated high school does. I have my GED grants educational degree.
Get her done.
Yeah.
No, I went to my nephew's graduation where I wanted to go with this.
So he went up near you.
Mount Perrin High School, Kennesaw region, Marietta Walker's rival.
Oh, you went to Walker.
I would think, I would think that holy innocence would be the rival,
you know, Protestants, first Catholics.
Yeah.
Yeah. Anyway, um, I went to Georgia high schools.
Yeah.
Well, it went up a lot this past weekend, but anyway, I went to it and,
uh, it was great.
Uh, he'll never listen to this, but Jack Brogy, proud of you.
Congrats, buddy.
Good, good, good luck at UGA.
This is where the Gamecocks are actually going to go on a run and beat you.
Except we don't pull you for the next two years because the SEC has totally ruined everything.
But I will say that for later.
Anyway, so I'm looking at this and you know i'm reading the program there's 115 graduates
and 114 of them out of 115 it's jeff biggie auburn trey gotlidge texas a&m pj
samford butler butler you know whatever except none of them went to... Well, there's a bunch of Auburn.
There was a bunch of Georgia.
There was a bunch of Bama.
There was a bunch of Sawakani University of the South,
which I'd never heard of before.
It's in Tennessee.
Yeah.
Sewanee.
Sewanee.
Yeah, yeah.
Sewanee.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I love that you can translate my language, Jeff.
I appreciate that.
Sawakani.
So I'm immediately like
did anyone go to the citadel no did anyone go to the university of south carolina no and then i'm
like well jacksonville state they're gamecocks kind of counts and i'm like did anyone say hey
i don't want to go to college. And I'm like, one guy.
Oh, really?
Ethan Kiminesic.
I probably butchered that name.
But Ethan something.
And it's like, trade school, Georgia lineman, LLC, whatever.
And I was like, I love this kid.
And I'm like, I see my brother on the side.
And I'm like, please tell me Jack's friends I'm like please tell me Jack's friends with Ethan
please tell me Jack's friends with Ethan he's like
he is like when he comes up I'm like yeah
let's go
school
I bet he's gonna make
more money than a lot of these guys I already
is
if he's a welder this guy's clean up anyway
I just thought it was funny that like I feel
like there's a shift going on in america life where like we grew up kids of boomers where it was like
you go to college yep you're not dumb you go to college i've been working hard and saving
you're gonna go to college you go to college boy that's what we do and now i'm like
i don't know that college is all that important but but it's in that middle ground right now
where it's like transition still feel like they have to go whereas i feel like trey you with two
kids 18 years from now are you pushing college i don't know that that was all i was thinking
when i when i dropped that in there i just thought i just there was no so no military huh
no military which i was also i mean it's 115 people it's not very much um but yeah i was
surprised that there was not like one person that's like i'm joining the army uh but yeah
all going to college or maybe they're going to college and they're on ROTC scholarships.
Well,
the whole deal changed with college.
Now it's like you increase the supply of college graduates.
So now the degree is worth less.
And now the,
the actual cost of tuition is just skyrocketed.
I'm Googling right now.
So only facts,
the inflation rate of college degrees,
college tuition,
inflation average,
12% annually
from 2010 to
2022.
That's a high number. 12% a year?
More?
Man.
That means in seven years
it'll double.
They'll just go to trade school.
They'll just go to Texas A&M.
They're going to work for the strength cow.
Yeah.
There you go.
That's what I was talking about.
Open up those factories.
Titan of industry.
That's what I told Jack at his graduation party.
I was like, you could have come to work for me.
And my name could have been in this graduation bulletin.
Jack Brogy, the strength cow.
Oh, last thing I'll leave on that.
Free advertising.
Then we can move on.
So, you know, my grandfather, when we came through Ellis Island,
they pronounced it pro-gee, pro-gee, Italiano.
And my grandfather opens his eye doctor practice
in Worcester, Massachusetts, predominantly Irish.
And he would always say how it was against the law
back then to advertise.
And so everything was word of mouth.
And the Irish people weren't intelligent
enough to say brogy he was married to an irish woman so i mean like you know there's no hard
feelings here so he changed it to brogy so when i started the youtube channel which i didn't think
we'd continue to have 25 000 subscribers i was like oh i'm just gonna say brogy and so i did it
and so my dad's like starts watching the youtube channel like, hey, you should advertise on my radio station.
I really think you'd get some business, and I was like, oh, yeah, yeah.
That's actually a pretty good idea.
I should do that.
He goes, yeah, but if you do, you need to advertise as Grant Brogy
because no one will know, and I was like, oh, I didn't know this was offensive.
Anyway, my nephew goes to graduate.
We're all sitting there.
Well, not all of us, but everyone that had come, and he's like, you know, University of Georgia, Jack Brogy.
And my brother-in-law is like sitting there.
He goes, dude, I think he's been watching your YouTube.
And I was like, yeah, household name, making changes over here.
Nice.
You want to hear some crazy numbers real quick?
Final note on this.
You want to hear some crazy numbers real quick?
Final note on this.
So since 1963, college tuition has increased 747.8%. Okay, just hold that in your head.
That's like seven doubles right there.
Okay.
The average wage in, let's see, I found a World Economic Forum forum chart so you know it's gonna be good
view on a long-term view on wages in the united states real hourly earnings for production and
non-supervisory employees in the u.s in 1964 it looks like that this is kind of crazy but it was it's $23. Almost $24.
So it pays to go to college?
No. No.
That's crazy though.
We've barely had a wage increase since then
and a 700 plus percent
increase in tuition.
I don't know.
Going to college, I think if you have
a specific... If you don't know what you want to do, I don't know. My thing, going to college, I think if you have a specific –
if you don't know what you want to do, I don't know.
I wish high schools were better at trying to help you figure out
kind of what you want to do so you have a more defined game plan
instead of doing like, oh, I don't have a major for two years,
and I'm just going to pick something arbitrarily.
I don't know.
That's what I did.
I wish it was something more –
Same.
You know what I mean?
I mean I
just think you should if you want to go to college you want to go to go to the
football game so pick a team that's gonna win that's a great point it's like
I learned a lot socially yeah no no there's a ton about
Yeah.
Okay.
Next slide, Jeff.
All right.
Speaking of college,
do we want to do our SEC preview?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm ready for the preview.
Are you going to hop into that?
We're talking Arkansas Razorbacks this week.
Razorbacks.
Oh, man.
Let me go to my notes.
Hit us with it.
So I was talking with my buddy, Jake, who's a big, big, big suey fan, defensive coordinator at Legacy Christian.
Go Eagles.
Rivals of Mount Paran and,
uh,
holy innocence.
Got it.
Yeah.
A hundred percent.
So I don't know,
man.
So as far as starting off,
so St.
Pittman,
I can't turn.
Remember how long he's been there for now.
It's his fifth year,
maybe fourth or fifth.
It's,
I don't know.
He's,
he's on the hot seat for sure.
They went four and eight last year.
So I think if I take a guess, man,
I would say this is probably his last year,
unless he just pulls a rabbit out of the hat.
But they hired, made some big hires, Bob Petrino from A&M.
I think in his contract,
he's not allowed to ride any motorcycles at Arkansas.
Yeah.
he's not allowed to ride any motorcycles at Arkansas.
Yeah.
He got fired from Arkansas because he was
joyriding with a
woman friend of his
that he was not married to.
After like three bottles of wine.
A woman friend.
And then I think they got into...
Well, what was the thing?
That he got into an accident is what he said
because he had like a neck brace and everything
yeah but it was fake
I think that girl's boyfriend beat him up
I think that's actually what it was
regardless
super talented
great coach
exactly where I want to send my kids to play
that kind of leadership
college all the way.
He's changed, Grant.
He's changed, man.
So I don't know.
Great hire.
I think that was a really good pickup for them.
But I honestly think he's the coach in waiting.
And if Sam Pittman doesn't win enough games,
I think Bob Petrino will be the coach, interim coach,
and then future coach by the end of the year.
Was Pittman at Houston?
Before?
No.
He was the Georgia offensive line coach.
Oh, this is his first head coaching gig?
Yeah.
But he's a big Arkansas guy.
So it's kind of one of those things where it's like you want it to work out.
Everyone in Arkansas wants it to work out just because everyone loves him there.
But you got to work out. Everyone in Arkansas wants it to work out just because everyone loves him there, but you've got to win games.
I don't know. I think great
hire with Bob Petrino. Defensive
coordinator second year, Travis Williams.
I think he was an Auburn guy at one point
in time. Yep.
Former linebacker. Yeah, linebacker.
Second
year there. We'll see how they do.
Offensive this year, KJ Jefferson was a quarterback last year.
He transferred to UCF with Gus Malzahn still there, which that should be.
I think so.
Regardless, he's a fun to watch.
So he transferred, but they got a quarterback, I want to say,
from Bowling Green, maybe.
I would have to look it up.
Traylon Green is his name.
But another big quarterback, 6'7", looked good in the spring game,
like has a really good arm on him.
So it should be fun to see kind of what they do with him
in Petrino's offense.
They got a really good running back room.
They got a Utah transfer.
What's his name?
Jackson. Yeah, Jackson got a Utah transfer. What's his name? Jackson.
Yeah, Jackson, the Utah transfer.
Oh, you didn't want to pronounce that first name?
Is it Jaquaden Jackson?
Sure.
Yeah, we'll go with that.
JJ.
We'll just call him JJ.
Utah transfer.
Super talented.
I remember at Utah, he was really good.
Rashad Doovinson is a really good really good. Rashad Dubinson is really,
really good returning guy. They got a freshman coming in and then they have some speed,
a wide receiver that I think is going to be good. So Petrino has a lot of people to work with.
Only thing I don't know about their offensive line. I think it's kind of, kind of suspect defense.
They lost. What was that dude's name?
U-Paul.
First of all, fantastic name.
Yeah.
I think he left, but he was a solid – I think he played linebacker,
but he was solid last year. But they have Landon Jackson's coming back, who was at LSU, transferred.
This is, I think, his second year and final year at Arkansas from Texarkana.
Really solid defensive end.
Is that like between Texas and Arkansas?
Dude, it's on the border.
Half the cities in Texas, half the cities in Arkansas.
Texarkana.
Texarkana.
Where does the Anna come from?
Santa Anna?
The general that fought the Alamo?
Yeah, that's exactly.
Texarkana.
Okay, got it.
All right right take me
take me through the games
that's one through 12
give me wins and losses
okay
so first game
let me pull it up
was it UAPB
yeah
yeah
okay then they go
here's a tough one
that thing is
really tough one At Oklahoma State
Loss
So you think loss
I think they'll win there
But it wouldn't surprise me if they lost
I think they'll lose
Like Oklahoma State
Gus Malzahn always
Finds dudes somewhere
I'm 1-1 you're 2-0
I'm 2-0 Then You're 2-0.
I'm 2-0.
Then they have UAB at home.
When?
I'll go win there too.
Then they go 2-Auburn.
No chance. No chance.
That's where I think
they get their first loss there.
I'll go three and one.
And then they go.
Two and two.
You're two and two.
I'm three and one.
Okay.
And then they go to Arlington to play Texas A&M for the last time.
Loss.
Because after this is the last year in Dallas.
And they go back to home and home.
Loss.
I'll go loss there.
So I'll go three and two.
And then they go. Then they got Tennessee at home.
Loss.
I'm going to go loss too.
So I'm going to go three and three by week.
Then got LSU at home.
Loss.
Lose.
I would agree with that.
This guy Pittman's getting fired.
Yes.
Yeah, it's not looking good.
This is kind of a tough schedule.
I got three.
Yeah, dude.
Brutal schedule.
Three. So they're three and four schedule. I got three. Yeah, dude. Brutal schedule. Three.
So, they're three and four right now through LSU.
Okay.
Then I go to Mississippi State.
When?
I'll go when.
I'll go four and four.
Then they have Ole Miss at home.
Boss.
Ole Miss is so...
I don't...
You never know what shows up.
One day they're a rebel. One day they're a shark. I think Ole Miss is so, I don't, you never know what shows up. Like one day they're a rebel.
One day they're a shark.
I think,
I think Ole Miss can be,
yeah.
Ole Miss can be good this year.
All right.
And they're like that,
one of those teams where it's like,
if they're predicted to be good or do anything that they just like totally
don't show up.
I feel like,
but yeah,
we'll see.
We'll see.
That's not,
I mean,
that's what I hate about Ole Miss.
Cause they,
they do those big games as a Gamecock fan. i'm just used to like hey guys on a bad year we
win five games on a good year we win six like this is what we do and it's just you know it's steady
as she goes bad year yeah uh okay so i have i have lost at old miss okay so what have loss at Ole Miss. Okay.
So what am I at?
Hold on.
Let me count them up.
Three, four, five.
Okay, so I have three.
I have four and five right now.
Okay.
I'm one behind you, so I'm three and six.
Okay.
Let me see.
Then they have Texas at home at home loss yeah much of pain but i would love
to see them beat texas but yeah i would i agree that would be great solve our cities
Solve our city's horns off.
Solve our city's horns off.
Short!
That was for you, Trey.
Appreciate it.
They got a lot of tech at home.
Win.
Win.
I got five wins.
Okay.
And then they got Missouri.
Loss.
Loss. Loss.
So wait, what did we disagree on in the beginning?
It was in the first three games.
You had UAPB.
It was Oklahoma State.
I think they beat Oklahoma State.
So that's all that matters.
This whole season, when we revisit this for the OK podcast,
Jeff and Grant said loss.
You said win.
Oklahoma State, boom.
Yeah.
The only thing I'd be curious of is if they fire Pittman after the Ole Miss game.
Oh, like early?
And then Petrino takes over the last three games.
Ooh.
And then they do some fun stuff and beat beat, beat Texas or kind of like,
kind of like when Spurrier quit four games in and then Sean Elliott,
the head coach,
and then he lost the Citadel and they fired him immediately.
Are you happy with that or not happy?
I was happy with that because the season was already shot.
The Spurrier era was ending.
And I'm like,
I've heard about one game,
my entire Citadel time.
And it was at 1991.
We beat the Gamecocks and I get to exist to experience this again.
So,
I mean,
I was obviously devastated,
but at that point it's like,
let us lose to everyone.
So that major shakeups happen.
What about if,
what was it?
The game with Citadel played Alabama?
They were up 10-0 at the half.
I own the t-shirt. Alabama
0, Citadel 10.
It's a picture of the actual
scoreboard.
That was an exciting game.
I know we're going to do all the
Yeah, it was 52-10 at the end.
I know we're going to do all the
SEC teams, but at the end we have to do all the... Yeah, it was 52-10 at the end. I know we're going to do all the SEC teams,
but at the end, we have to break down the Citadel and Butler football.
I'd be down with that.
Yeah.
All right.
Emerson football.
Yeah, long story short, I think Sam Pittman's...
I think this is last year.
I think Bob Petrino's coaching waiting.
I think they get five games this year.
Jake, my buddy Jake, I was talking to today. year i think bob petrino's coach from waiting i think they get five games this year um jake
my buddy jakey i was talking to you today he's gonna be upset but i think they'll be happy with the trainer going forward jake from state farm jake from state farm um didn't know you knew him
yeah good dude jeff what's the next slide and why is it the NBA? Oh, it's because it is the NBA.
And we're going to talk about it.
All right, we're moving into the conference finals. Yeah, we are.
Game one right now.
Pacers.
Mavericks are playing, right?
We got a score?
Mavericks will be tomorrow.
Yeah, it's the end of the third in the Celtics.
You're up 99-97, which is crazy because I watched the first
and the Celtics opened up with a 12-0 run
uh so I thought like ah the game is well readily in hand but uh yeah I think I know we have other
stuff to hit so I think we shouldn't divulge down the sports hold too hard but I'll give you my hot
takes real quick love it Celtics beat the Pacers I actually think a bunch of close games, but I think they went in five.
I think they're actually that much better.
Pacers top leading scorers in the league.
Boston's defense.
Good.
I think it's a good mask.
I think Celtics in fives and they move on.
And then Mavericks wolves.
This is controversial.
Everyone's on the wolves train.
I like the wolves.
Our friends at Massanomics, Tanner and Tommy, like the wolves. Like i've had fun texting them during the games because like they're pulling for them uh kevin
garnett from rockville south carolina celtics champion t wolves champion i've always kind of
like had a little soft spot for the wolves as a kid i like kirby puckett minnesota twins so by
default like i kind of followed the wolvesves. So I'm partial Wolves.
And I was big on the Wolves
against the Nuggets because beating the
Jokers, taking down Goliath.
But I think
Luka Doncic is the best player in the
NBA. And I think that
the Mavs beat them. Probably
seven games. I think it's going to be a slugfest.
But I think you're going to see Dallas-Boston
in the finals.
Send that to Pat McAfee Luca's been held held together by duct tape right now I know he's yeah he's not looking good but he just keeps getting it done he looked all right that that last game he went
off in the fourth but up until then he looked kind of shaky. Big Ticket, dude. What a great nickname. The Big Ticket.
I mean, how good is it to be called the Joker?
That's a really good one.
Wait, do you think that's better than the Big Ticket?
No, we're talking about Luka, right?
No, Joker is...
Joker is Joker.
Big Ticket is Luka.
Big Ticket is Kevin Garnett.
Big Ticket is Kevin Garnett. Big tickets, Kevin Garnett. Oh, Kevin Garnett.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Luka drives an El Camino to every game.
That's awesome.
And wears a cowboy hat.
Wow.
And speaks very little English.
I love it.
I don't think he really cares that much about playing basketball, too.
Yeah.
Anyway, KG had a great little clip on a podcast um where they were um uh paul
pierce was asking him who who are you going to pull for if it's wolf celtics and he's like
gives this analogy that he's a drug dealer on the block and like he has to supply both people but like it's his block and he's the only person that can
run the block because no one else owns the block he's one of them there he's one of them here
you call me and you need me tonight courtside i'll be there you call me you need me there tonight
i'll be there who do i want to win the block who's the block kg it's like it's
amazing i'll send you guys a club he didn't he didn't win with the timberwolves did he
went with the timbrels okay yeah i think they were like uh western conference yeah yeah they
were fun to watch yeah but it was a funny bit good teams all right all right you want to give a quick hot take
tray before we move to the next slide who are we going to see in the finals
we gotta get pga shot too he's from indiana i don't know man i feel like i feel like timber
wolves are pretty deep so i'm gonna go timber wolves i'll go celtics timber wolves celtics win
okay i have my only connection.
We're just going to the finals right now.
You don't have to name.
We'll give you a pass.
Okay.
I won.
I think Celtics are too good, man.
I can get behind that because old Celtics coach was also the Butler
basketball coach when they were in the final four.
So I got the connection.
Yeah.
All right.
So you're going against the Pacers.
Oh, this is tough
yeah I don't know
I don't have any connection to any other team except for Pacers
and Celtics
and to be clear I would prefer
Wolves Celtics but I think it's going to be
Wolves Mavs
is there a chance that Porzingis comes back
I think
KP's coming back.
I think they're – I mean, this is like a –
Grant listens to way too much 98.5, the sports hub out of Boston.
But it's like, hey.
Finger on the pulse.
Yeah, I think he's coming back.
And if KP comes back, lights out.
Yeah.
I don't know. I've been watching more. I've been following hockey more so than basketball. comes back. Lights out. Yeah.
I don't know.
I've been watching more.
I've been following hockey more so than basketball.
Dude.
Hockey.
Dude, it's been fun.
It's been a great postseason.
And obviously,
I'm very upset
about the Bruins losing.
But even last night,
Edmonton scores two goals
in the third
and then gets five shots on goal towards the end of the game.
And they were down three nothing.
You take a game that you turn on.
You're like a third period.
Ten minutes left.
Edmonton loss.
Oilers are in.
And it's like, oh, this isn't over.
Yeah, I think I think this playoff hockey.
I think this.
So.
This is a probably weird hot take,
but I think that most people that like basketball don't like hockey.
Okay.
And most people that like hockey
don't really follow the NBA.
And I can tell you this,
even in my small Boston sports fans world, right?
Like I got a bunch of group texts
when stuff started going on.
Like when the Bruins were going,
had all these guys like popping off.
And like tonight, Boston goes up 12, nothing.
And I'm like sending them all like the,
I took a picture and like send them to him.
They're like, oh yeah, yeah.
Let me know if they win.
I'm like, wait, what?
But so, but what I was going to say is if you like both, this is underrated sports time of the year because every night there's a playoff game every night.
And it's yeah, it's great.
Great.
All right.
All right.
Next slide.
Okay.
Well, you want to do quick.
You got picks for NHL.
Who do you think is going to get to the finals?
I think Stars Rangers.
Stars Rangers.
Yeah.
I mean, as much as I hate to say it, because bleep the Yankees.
I don't want to see the Rangers win, but I think the Rangers are winning it.
The whole thing?
Yeah, I think the Rangers are going to win the whole thing.
Okay. Very well. Very well. the whole thing. Yeah, I think the Rangers are going to win the whole thing.
Very well.
Very well.
Well then, do we want to jump into the questions from the Slack segment?
I think we need to.
We've been telling these people we're going to answer their questions.
Slack it up, baby.
They get deep into the episode and actually listen to it.
Slack it up.
Hey guys, if you make it to
minute marker,
1 hour 42 minutes, we answered your questions they got to make it to the bw tax ads first that's right
one of them was for you jeff and i want you to open with that one okay okay okay let's scroll
down to it what's it there there? Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
So the question,
this one comes from Eddie Phillips.
I think I saw him.
He's like a mid shipment or something.
Yeah.
It looks like he is his picture.
He's wearing some,
some coveralls with some mid shipment rank.
So handsome fella.
Right.
So his question,
could you explain what Anglico is and what it does etc
um yeah so anglico it's lightning from the sky thunder from the sea next slide
always needing gel uh is that what it stands for yeah yes that is it uh nice come over it stands
for air naval gunfire liaison company so it's like the longest name that any unit has a big
mouthful so they shorted down to anglico um let's see so really what what it is, is like the liaison portion it's and fires portion.
So artillery,
naval gunfire,
control and aircraft,
all that stuff.
And it's kind of purpose within the Marine Corps is to plug into usually
foreign units or other branches of the U Ss military that are like adjacent to a marine
corps battle space so if it was like let's say in afghanistan and there's a marine corps kind of like
battle space and this regiment owns this area and next to them the british army has like an area of operations that they're controlling so what
happened is you would send over uh angleco usually a firepower control team or a supporting arms
liaison team and they plug in with that british unit and kind of act as their ability to control
american fires whether it's from the air or like artillery or mortar so it pretty much is
comprised of mostly artillery Marines and communications Marines and then on the officer
side artillery officers and then aviation guys so whether it's a pilot or a naval flight officer
from all the various platforms and you kind of operate in these like smaller teams and you plug in with foreign
countries and and help them out controlling u.s fires um so it's definitely a fun unit to be a
part of you're gonna do a lot of like more independent kind of like you know stuff where
you're out there and it's just your team plugged in with this foreign unit or like i've done stuff where we went out to fort irwin and uh we're part of like a
striker brigade with the army so it's just it's just really cool you kind of get out there and
be like the face of the marine corps to that foreign unit or like that other branch of the
service so i would i would ask this uh and this is a legit question there's no way to two
artillerymen because uh what's his first name? Jeremy?
Eddie. Eddie. Eddie. Eddie.
Eddie.
Eddie. Jeremy. Same thing. Same amount of syllables.
So he's probably
at the Naval Academy
potential Marine Corps contract
gun
and commission as an officer.
You can't go to Anglico
as your first duty assignment, right? As an officer? Yeah, as an officer you can you you can't go to anglico as your first duty assignment right
no as an officer he has an officer like you right you yeah you so so you'd have to be an
artillery officer to move over and go to be billy right yeah yeah yeah so typically it'll be like
your second duty station after you do like your lieutenant time with an artillery battalion
yeah um then you can get orders over to Anglico.
And then at that point, I feel like later on as an artillery officer,
you could stay Anglico, whether you're active reserves.
It's not a B-billet like you will always –
because a B-billet, it's a loose turn.
But you could kind of work the system to stay in Anglico.
But it's like if someone comes to you and they're like,
I want to join the Marine Corps, I want to be MARSOC.
It's like, great.
You need to go become a grunt for four years and then apply for MARSOC.
So, yeah, Eddie, right?
Eddie Phillips.
Eddie.
Yeah, hope that answers your question.
That's what Anglico is.
But if you're looking to do that you would have
to go in as an well you guys have other people besides o8 o2s though right it used to be that
like the infantry officers or like armor officers would go there but like so it's pretty on the
officer side it's all o8 o2 so artillery officers and then okay pilots or like uh
pilots or like naval flight officers.
Okay. Eddie, you want
to be an artillery officer. Red leggers.
Oh, yeah. To the date.
It's by far the best. Yeah, the best.
And then gray hair out, go to Anglico.
Yeah.
Unbloss your boots.
Anglico, bro. Yeah.
That's right.
Wear a fanny pack.
Wear a fanny pack.
I embraced it. I embraced it. embraced it hey you gotta accept the culture you wore it well dude you wore the culture is in your unit you gotta
you gotta embrace it oh yeah as long as it's you know wait wait so i don't know i don't know
any context in this what's like the the classic like quintessential quintessential anglico man
like what if there was like an action
figure like what was his dress be hair be like oh what's he look like i feel like tranny's answer
first okay then jeff then me and then jordy will guess chat gpt to take our transcript and put the
person on the screen correct um so i'll start at the top very long hair long hair low fade um that means like on the side
yeah they barely end yeah probably wearing ray bands yeah some sort of ray bands if i take a
guess they probably shaved with like a norelco like the evening before so it's like the five
o'clock shadow is definitely there old camis that
have been there's just like it's not new so
they're kind of faded
they might have like hung in them on the
clothesline for a week though just
yeah yeah yeah
yeah probably that's if I take
a guess go down they
probably are
I don't know dude they probably black belt mcmap just
taking a guess yeah i'd go with that yeah but they definitely if they're in the field it's they're
it's tucked in their cams are tucked in their their trousers for sure um if not yeah and then
go down boots on blouse probably some oak Oakley non-standard Marine Corps boots.
Am I close?
I'm going to summarize everything you said, Trey, with what my thought was.
And my thought is a little more succinct.
Like you were very specific.
co-officer i think of everything the marine corps wants from me but just slightly not what they want it's like almost every element of my life you want my hair to be three inches it's three and a half
it's almost there you want me to wear a skivvy shirt yeah i'm not gonna do that uh that's i
forgot am i not allowed to cuff my sleeves i feel like there's not a rule gonna cuff them can i can i
tuck my blouse in it's not written anywhere so i'm gonna tuck it in uh also by the way i want
to show off my black belt uh yeah you know are these boots authorized does it matter i'm working
with the filipinos right now yeah you better respect me uh like i guess in 2034 gulf yeah yeah i know it's just slightly off um yet
i'm trying to paint a visual for geordie jeff is it jeff is that close i mean i have almost
nothing to add to that that's i would say uh frog frog gear that's what we always yeah
what i would say is that is that special operations guys literally don't care they're like dude last
night i swam in and killed somebody like i don't care i haven't shaved in weeks yeah but like
anglico guys still doing really cool stuff but they're still like a marine at heart so it's like
this weird they like they feel too guilty to go too far exactly that's why they shave at 5 p.m
yeah because they're like no i i shaved i just didn't shave this morning oh man so not like a
navy seal so basically like bradley cooper everyone's everyone's called by their first
name probably um i mean i think that should be everywhere
personally that's true i will say jeff got to do the the one thing i think the coolest thing in
the marine corps is being a jtech i agreed jeff got to be a jtech yeah i bet that's a blast
pg that's where you just that's where you just call in airstrikes
so you just say like go get him yeah no it's actually like every time basically i'm gonna
butcher this and then we're gonna save an in-depth uh interview with jeff for this for next time so
we can get to the last slide but the way i like to explain it is like when you see planes flying
in combat and ordinance being dropped someone is somewhere in the vicinity looking at the battle space in some
shape or form maybe with their eyes maybe with software and they're being like yep you can drop
that yeah like pilots don't just get to go through and drop bombs there's a guy on the ground that
makes sense someone has coordinated on the ground yeah you don't want to be like oops right there went hiroshima oops oops that uh
every time joe rogan talks about drone strikes yeah i'm just like it i'm like dude what what
are you talking about i don't understand this we're not just drove he always just talks about
how like he makes drone strikes sound like they are just like, yeah, we're just like missiles randomly and just wherever they land,
they land,
you know,
kids.
And it's like,
that's,
that's not how any of this works.
Yeah.
Like,
yeah,
we do sometimes hit the wrong thing,
but it is not because it didn't go through like seven different levels of
clearance and somebody just messed up.
Yeah.
I will say everyone I know from Inco is a jtech so so the greatest thing if you're an artillery officer
you are something called joint fires train which means you have like a very uh elementary level of
jtech education okay and so you can if needed they can call you're called joint fires observer
you can basically set up the whole thing and then the jtech will say cleared hot meaning like
everything that guy just said you can now execute but when you're a jfo you have to start and say
i'm not a jtech and it's like a run it's's kind of like in the starting shirt community.
I'm not an SSC.
It's just like that.
I'm not a JTAC. I'm not a JTAC or an SSC, but bomb that
squat, baby.
Grant actually got on the radio and said,
I am a starting strength coach.
I'm not a JTAC, but I am an SSC.
Do you have any lifting questions? I am a starting strength coach. I'm not a change. I'm a SAC. Clear it hot.
Do you have any lifting questions?
We got another question there?
I feel like we should have a lifting question.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll get one that's a little more like lifting oriented.
Do we want to talk about breathing during the press
or backing off weight to accommodate for a longer eccentric portion of lift?
That's a good one, too.
But I like that breathing during the press one.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Okay.
All right.
This one comes from Michael Buckley.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Big Michael.
Ventura Meat Company, Ventura, California.
He's a native of Tennessee huge volunteers fan uh like big time he's somehow ended up on the west coast uh we're praying for
him every day um but yeah not a JTAC or an SEC or an SSC to be clear but he is a butcher but and if
you join our slack channel I will tell you the the meat and cooking advice
that this guy drops in the nutrition channel he should be charging me it is really good
it's unbelievable the guy's really smart anyway yeah a few bucks that's what he always says yeah
all right so michael's question is uh breathing patterns on the press
and it looks like uh talked about let's see when do you want to exhale at the top or like versus
the bottom when you're back in like the racked position what's your approach to that grant he
wants to know when when what's the ideal yeah So a little bit of a tough question. So in starting
shrink, we teach something called the press 2.0, where you throw your hips at the, at the start.
So like your pelvis goes forwards, your knees don't bend. It's not a push press. You just throw
your hips forward. So you, we would breathe in, you would brace, you'd throw your hips forward.
As you did that, the bar would come down a little bit and then it would go up and then you'd throw your hips forward. As you did that, the bar would come down a little bit, and then it would go up, and then you'd come back down, and you'd get a new breath.
So in that style of lift, you could technically breathe out at the top, exhale, come down,
new breath, throw the hips again. Most people, I just tell them, if you're pressing like that,
press 2.0, starting trace style, breathe at the bottom, like throw the hips, press the bar up, come down, exhale, new breath, go on to the next rep.
The other thing is like something we would call, let's just call a strict press or a lot of the
internet will call a military press or press 1.0, where same deal, holding the bar in front of you,
in front of your shoulders, and you're just pressing up overhead. You'd breathe at the bottom, you just press the bar
up and you'd come down. I'd still say, breathe out. Once you bring the bar down, take a new
breath, don't hang out and go into the next rep. Where it gets tricky is there's another technique
where you, so in the press 2.0, we're getting a stretch reflex out of the hips. You're throwing
the hips out of the psoas. The muscles are hitting their end of their extensibility,
making your pelvis come back. You're getting a little bounce out of the bar and you're throwing
it up. The reason we like that versus a push press is because it's reproducible. The problem
with the push press, there's no problem with it. It's a fine movement, but you can just bend your knees more next time
when you add weight and therefore incorporate more quadriceps. So if I'm push pressing,
I'm bending my knees to get my quad to get the bar up and then I'm locking it out.
And so there's no way to say I will only bend my knees this much each time. So as the weight goes
up in the bar, you just start using more quads and the
argument that i would make as an ssc is that you work your quads when you squat and you deadlift
you're not trying to work your quads when you press i mean obviously they're being utilized
because it's a long kinetic chain throughout your whole body but the goal is not hey i'm trying to
work my claws right now so that's why we do the press 2.0 because you can get a stretch reflex out of the psoas
and it's reproducible every time.
And therefore you can add weight
and it's a trainable thing.
The other one is a strict press,
but the problem with a strict press
is it's going to be limiting
because it's not quite as much muscle mass.
The other way you can get a stretch reflex
is something we call a press 1.0
is where on rep one,
you press the bar up and lock it out
and then you exhale at the top reset your breath and then as you bring the bar down you actually
get the stretch reflex out of the tricep so as you come down the tricep extends and you come down to
the bottom and go right back up so in that of press, you would breathe out at the top after rep one.
If it's heavy, you obviously need to be tight for rep one.
So you breathe in, press it out, and then go down and up.
So to answer his question, it's yes.
Depending on what you're doing.
Don't forget to breathe.
Yeah, don't forget to breathe. So it all depends on what kind of pressure you're doing don't forget to breathe yeah don't forget to breathe it all
so it all depends on what what kind of pressure it depends on what type of press you're doing
but you want to definitely hold your breath through the concentric aka the the pushing
portion of the lift uh if you are doing the one if you are trying to get a stretch reflex out of
the bottom you would want to breathe a stretch reflex out of the bottom,
you would want to breathe out at the top.
Yeah.
Long,
long winded answer,
but maybe that's a YouTube video.
That should be a YouTube video.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then also you could talk about like why someone would switch to the
1.0 or not,
not an essay,
not an sec,
but I know,
I think I heard rip talk about one time.
Like if someone has shoulder issues,
that is true. Yeah. Yeah. That's a C, but I am, I think I heard Rip talk about one time, like if someone has shoulder issues, that is true.
Get him.
Yes.
Not an SSC, but I am a gym.
I love it.
But he said something about like,
I heard some video of him talking about
like someone had shoulder issues.
It was bothering them.
Sometimes starting from the top basically can help
some people solve that.
It can help for people with shoulder issues.
I generally use that for people that you're trying to teach them how to throw their hips,
and they're what we call like a motor moron.
Like they just push press every time.
They keep bending their knees.
And it's like, well, this isn't productive.
And so we just say, hey, let's do this other way.
And I mean, I think there's the press 2.0 is great.
Definitely incorporates more muscle mass, but there's the press 2.0 is great. Definitely incorporates
more muscle mass, but there's also way move more room for error. When you throw your hips far,
you can easily get the bar out of its bar path. So, I mean, when I teach people how to press,
if you come in and say, Grant, you're an SOC, teach me how to press. I'm going to teach you
a strict press because I want you to figure out how important the bar path is and how to lock it
out properly overhead. And then when your press starts to fail, I'm going to try to teach you the press 2.0 and not that age has
anything to do with it, but if you're a 60 year old dude, that's kind of uncor on a uncoordinated,
I'm just like, Hey man, press the first one up, breathe out of the top and then, you know,
bounce out of the bottom. Um, so yeah, there's, there's different times for each one. I don't
like to teach new lifters to press 2.0 though. I mean, I can, I'm capable, but like, I don't,
unless they really want to do it. I'm like, bro, you're pressing 55 pounds. Like, let's just learn,
let's learn how to get the bottom position, right. And the top position, right. And keep
it close to your face. Like we don't need to be throwing hips around good question the hips don't lie amen
all right jefe time for one more yeah unless you got another slide i mean we answered two
that's enough of a tease for people to keep asking questions and like oh there's two questions
we answered two but One more segment left.
Okay.
Okay.
That includes our Slack questions then.
So let's move on.
Keep asking them.
Gosh, where's the thread?
I will say.
I'm starting this week.
Getting back into it.
I'm doing the, what was your program green it's like one lift
a day kind of thing yeah and just kind of just do something like just doing something you know
what i mean yeah i'm not i'm probably not putting on a ton of weight uh as far as on the bar it's
just 500 on the deadlift yeah week over week so i guess my question with that, like, what was your breakdown?
Like, were you doing, like, squat twice a week?
Or what were you doing with that?
Yeah, in a quick summary, it's funny you ask that,
because Nolan Hickey, episode 17, 16.
Earlier.
Marine Captain texted me today and asked me that,
and I actually haven't answered it.
But in short, when I do a one one lift a day uh like a literally one so sometimes i say one lift a day but it's
like i do two lifts but like when i actually do one lift a day i'd five by five squat day one
i'd five by five bench or press day two i deadlift i say three by five but that usually means like a top set and back offsets but you
know I deadlift a really heavy and then I pick up some volume take the next day off I'd press
five by five the next day if I bench the first one and then I would do a squat intensity day
so if you do one lift a day it kind of needs to go over six days a week I do think for the sake
of your deadlift and your squat, you need to squat twice
a week. One day is like a
volume and one day is like a heavy day.
That's kind of my basic breakdown.
If you have time, on your
intensity squat day,
if you're going in and you're doing three heavy
triples, it's going to be really
hard, but it's only going to take you 30 minutes. minutes if yeah it's like great data i don't know knock out 30 chin-ups
however many sets it takes you know great data uh you know you got some dumbbells hit some hit
some bicep stuff do some push-ups you know so it's it's kind of the one lift a day thing is basically saying,
Hey, for me, the better way to think about it is like under 50 minutes in the gym a day.
Yeah.
And then I'm saying, okay, what do I have to do these things?
Oh, well, I just bench five by five and it took me 32 minutes. Like I actually still could spend 10 more minutes.
Okay.
Knock out a hundred pushups, you know do do your chin-ups that
day or whatever like there's definitely some room for accessories especially on those bench and or
press days okay good stuff okay okay oh sorry mike tyson updates was it jake Paul? He's fighting, right? Jake Paul. Jake Paul. He's fighting.
And yeah, I don't really have any good updates from last week.
I'm just watching more clips come out of Mike Tyson.
But you know what?
I'm getting suspicious.
I got to admit, I'm getting suspicious.
I'm watching these videos come out of Mike Tyson.
Obviously, he looks like a terrifying beast of a man, just a train running through this
poor training partner,
holding the mitts for him.
But there,
I hope not,
but I,
I will say,
I mean,
man,
those were some pretty intense jump cuts.
I wonder if this is just a psyop of,
Hey,
we're going to take the five times.
He had a really good punch,
a really good hit
and his cut those together really fast. I'm a little skeptical as a video guy. I'm looking at,
I'm like, that was a lot of editing. You just did. I wonder if this is all, this is all just fake.
I don't know. Maybe he's breathing heavy in between every time he fires off a jab cross.
He's got to take a break. You know, I know i don't know uh was jake paul on the
disney channel yes and it's so funny because there's these videos going back maybe i can add
it in the in the video i've seen some things cut together of like jake paul when he was 18 and it's
him like doing some dance on like a disney promo or whatever like that and then it's like mike
tyson when he's 18 he's like murdering someone and just an absolute beast.
I got to send you those. It's crazy.
Mike Tyson at 18 was a freaking animal.
Mike Tyson at 57 is a freaking animal.
That's what I'm saying.
And he's just genetically gifted.
Yeah.
What I'm banking on is that Mike Tyson at his peak was like,
he'll just kill anyone. Right.
And as you age, he's going to be, that's the OJ Simpson deal.
But anyway, continue. This is true. Yeah. Different guy.
Um, but he, uh, he, he, uh,
you're going to drop right from your peak to being 58.
My hope is that his peak was so high. Oh yeah. Yeah.
That if you drop, if he drops in in half he's still way better than anybody currently how's jake paul right now 26 7 somewhere in there so he's
like young he's young peak oh yeah yeah he's probably near or at his peak so that's why it's
a little tough you know he's an old man, Mike Tyson.
Maybe his drop is still
just he's way up there.
He's getting paid
regardless. I don't think he cares too much.
No, he ain't worried about it.
He's getting paid. One of the reasons he's getting paid
is because I guarantee
you that that guy has someone
intelligent taking care of his taxes.
I could tell you an intelligent way to take care of the taxes or we could also the thing that I've always liked
about BW tax LLC.com is that they are a smaller company and and smaller companies care more in
general there's there's not a hierarchy of people that are telling you,
um, you know, make more money, make more money from our clients. They, they want you to make
money. That's why, that's why you use them because when you use them, they're going to
give you the tools to get the most money back from the government that generally takes all of our stuff but it's their it's their mission
it's their job to get as much money back from the government and put it into the the pockets
of hard-working americans best part never in that ad early. You have to wait for the tag.
