All right, and welcome back to episode 2342424 of the 024. I should just start that over. Welcome to episode 024 of the OK podcast, powered by the Strength Co. I'm your host, Grant Brogy, here with Waylon, getting bigger. New co-host it's the it must be what they're putting in the milk except he doesn't have milk he just eats meat he's a carnivore this is a carnivore family raw milk uh doesn't have any milk actually he just he just eats raw meat I love it uh I'm here in studio with PJ what's up what's up the today's date is June the 4th. So we don't say may the 4th be with you. May the 4th be with you on June the 4th. And the year of our 2024 block height is 846562.

Shout out Zach Copley. Price is about $70,000. I know. I'm hoping it hits $70,000 during the show. It was $70,000 a second ago. We're doing good. Oh, was it tonight? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, okay. Just a minute ago when I walked in. Oh, man. I was volunteering at my church. I guess I could have put a little more in the doing good. Oh, was it tonight? Yeah. Oh, okay. Just a minute ago. I walked in. Oh man. I was volunteering at my church. I guess I could have put a little more in the offering plate. Yeah, exactly. I didn't know I was rich. Yeah.

Um, all right. So hopefully we're still holding at 70. What's the Bitcoin update? Uh, let's see. Not much of a Bitcoin update. I'm just still concerned about last week about how we have a presidential front runner talking about how he loves bitcoin and now he's convicted of 34 felonies but other than that we're still holding strong man 34 times two is uh 68 and that was the price of bitcoin when he got convicted so if you don't

think they're related you're not paying attention. Wake up people. Yeah. Wake up people. It's important. I did see a funny tweet from Warren Buffett. Yeah. Did you see that one? Oh, I have a story about. It just said huddle. Oh my gosh. Really?

Yeah. And someone was like, I love that Warren Buffett's first tweet since whenever it was a Photoshop. Yeah. But Elon liked it and retweeted it. And then his own company X would like had all the community guidelines like this. This this image has been Photoshopped and is not real. So there was actually speaking of Warren Buffett, there was this weird glitch, quote unquote, glitch where. Hey, when that happens, if you look at the birth Berkshire Hathaway stock price, which is Warren Buffett's baby.

Right. It it was going along. I think it was either yesterday or maybe two, two days ago, it dropped like 99%. Like it looked like some kind of meme coin, like something called like grant coin or something like that. And it just dropped straight down 99%. Everybody's like, well, it's over like by Bitcoin. Well, and then is that why the Roaring Kitty played the Uno card? Did you see that?

Yeah. Did you see, like, he's up, like, 84 million in unrealized gains or something? Yeah, he's, like, still holding on to GameStop. It's just hilarious. That's an ideological battle he's waging. So playing the Uno card repeat is basically, like, let's do this again? Right, because everybody knows that of the last GameStop saga. Yeah. Right.

Basically, all these hedge funds were shorting the stock of GameStop. Because they knew that GameStop was like a blockbuster type business. And they knew, hey, no one's going to go buy a physical game anymore. They're going to download it. Right. So why about wall street bets? He forgot about roaring kitty, the man, the man, the man. And he said, Hey, they have all these shorts on there. If we jack this price up of GameStop stock to a certain level, it's like, I don't know if people, I don't want to get into the intricacies of intricacies, interests, interests interest interest dude don't ask the homeschooler into the details intricacies intricacies of how shorts work but basically if a stock price rose to a certain amount these hedge funds owe like

500 million dollars or like two billion dollars like something crazy and they actually sank a hedge fund in the last one yeah i watched it it. It was like one of the most entertaining days. It was crazy. In the world. And they're like, wait a minute, Roaring Kitty sank our hedge fund? Did you watch him talk to Congress? It was so good.

Yeah, they're like, why were you buying this stock? It's clearly doesn't have value. Why were you doing that? He's like, I like the stock. Yeah, I know, it's so great. But now he's running it back i think he noticed that these shorts were piling up again this opportunity was coming again and then he posted a meme on twitter an image on twitter for the first time in like three years or something

like that is his first post since then and it's just a picture of a man sitting at a desk and then another picture of the same man like leaning forward and then the uno card and then the unicard like run it back and then it was he posted on reddit what his actual positions are against on gamestop and they realize like this guy has hundreds of millions of dollars loaded up he's just floating the company he's floating what if you're the ceo of gamestop i don't know what you do of like a meme company i i don't know what you do. You're just the CEO of like a meme company. I don't know because you're just going along trying to not die. And next thing you know, your stock is up 250%. Man. What do you do?

Because of a kitty. Does the kitty still own AME? I don't know. I don't know. AMC. AMC. That was the other one. GME and AMC.

Yeah. Yeah. But we'll see. For those who don't know, getting out of the stock terminology, this is basically an ideological battle against the common man versus the big hedge funds. And the group of common men feel like the hedge funds are making all this money off the backs of the little man, not providing any value. And they said, hey, we have a chance to fight back if we band together. And they did it. And they did it.

And so they might do it again. We'll see. 70,781 price of Bitcoin. When are we going to see like a strength code coin? Someone made one. What? Yeah. Someone made one in like 2020 when everyone was bored. Strength coin. I forgot how many he made. I don't know how you create them, but it exists. You just find a nerd. Yeah, it was a nerd for sure. Yeah. Shout out Akash. So Akash, if you're listening to this, I want my strength coins. Yeah. What you do, here's the game. Here's what you do. Stop. Game stop. What you do is you create strength coin. You don't tell anybody. You airdrop a bunch of coins of strength coin to your friends who are in on the game. And then you announce, Hey, we've got this great new coin. It's going to go to the moon. Don't you

want to get strong? Strength is important. Why not be strong and rich by strength coin? You pump out the marketing, the thing moons. And then what you do is all you and all your friends who have all this preloaded strength coin, just dump on the market that I'll just bought your coin, your scam coin. And then you just get rich. Aren't those called alt coins? That's the nice name for them. Yeah, that's the PG friendly name. Some people might call them poop coins.

Yes. Rhymes with quit. And bit. And bit. And here we are. Yeah. Yeah. So so there we are so there's your crypto update no need to listen to wall street journal to listen these fancy bloggers these miami grifters um speaking of grifters so ripito did that video on um weigh your plates dude that smoked yeah yeah well our version did but so it's weigh your plates. Dude, that smoked. Yeah. Yeah. Well, our version did.

But so it's weigh your plates. Go check it out on YouTube on the starting strength channel. It's two minutes and 30 seconds long. And he basically says, hey, plates are often inaccurate. And he talks about how some way more than others. And he's not even I mean, the guy knows what he's doing, but it's not like I mean, it's a strength advertisement, but it's not like i mean it's a stranko advertisement but it's not like he's not necessarily trying no he's like with the plates we use and he says you

know stranko plates are dead ass on the money it's a good point though great point so we just take it condense it down to a minute put some cool b-roll on it and post it and it goes viral on instagram actually on every platform it went well above average. On Instagram, I mean, I always say you got to get a million to get viral. I think it's like 750,000. It'll hit it. What?

Yeah, I think. Maybe I'm wrong. But like TikTok, it got like 50,000. YouTube, it did like 20,000 as a short. These are all yesterday's numbers. I haven't looked today. I'm looking right now. Maybe it's 250 on Instagram. I can't remember. We just have so many viral vids. It's hard to

keep it 200 200. Okay, I was way off saying 750. But anyway, have you read the comments? No. Oh, it's like it's like people are upset. Like, yeah, I mean, there's some people being funny. So you're telling me my 225 pound bench is actually 315. That was like the comment I pinned. I think it has like 600 likes, but now no one believes my numbers anymore because I was off by the views. But yeah, someone, a bunch of people were calling me a grifter and shill like, or I guess technically they're talking saying rip a toes a shill or, but I mean, it's commenting on my account. saying rip a toes a shill or but i mean it's commenting on my account i think i don't know i think technically you would be the grifter because you are you are gaining off of someone else's content and you're just repackaging it isn't that the name of the game it's exactly the

name of the game grift grift is just another it's just a like a a pejorative term of hey share the good news hey you know what I like to say? What was that grifter be grifted? That's the truth, baby. I mean, you have to speaking of which the puffy jacket will not die. I was listening to the massonomics podcast. They had coop from garage reviews on. I saw that. I wanted to listen. You should, we need to pull some clips from it. It's pretty funny. Uh, he talks about like me specifically and the stranko a couple different times and he's like talk about a guy that just will not let a joke die he makes like one meme then he makes a video then he makes another video then he makes another meme then he makes a t-shirt then he makes

a sticker and i was like that's the name of the game that's what we're here to do it's just called smart you talk about us we're gonna grab it and use it to our advantage. You don't talk about us. We're going to grab it and use it to our advantage. Yeah. Greg Doucette. Yeah. Greg Doucette.

You do anything. He's a grifter. In China. We're going to make fun of it. Yeah. He's like the king grifter. If anybody's grifting. Why don't you call him Coach Greg?

Coach Greg here. I can't. Coach Greg. Hey, how you doing? I'd have to be at the bottom of the content. Well, the react to that video, he, he like his whole channel is built on calling out other famous people in the strength community. Well, and he's just the algorithm guy. So he has three videos about benching three 15. Yeah. So he's like, Hey, this works works he has no preference for like hey what's informative to people he's like what is doing well i'm gonna do that i mean i wouldn't say we're clickbait artists i would just say there's one rule and that's that your head has

to be giant on the thumbnail we didn't make the rules giant on big face and fire and fire and might as well throw a bitcoin on there yeah Yeah. We should do that on a strength code video. Yeah. Just give me laser eyes on one of them. Yeah. Or just give me laser eyes on this one. But you know what? The people see that and they know what it stands for and they say, I like this. So I like that. Is it really clickbait if they benefit? That's what I'm saying. When I saw Sean Baker with laser eyes, I'm like, I'm eating carnivore world carnivore month. Sign me up. blazer eyes i'm like i'm eating carnivore world carnivore month sign me up nothing but meat for me what did what did the mass anomalies guys say about the whole joke which one coop coop oh well so he kind of got like in not hot water but people were bashing him for not going to home gym con

so a couple weeks ago they had a home gym conference in French Lake, Indiana. He didn't go. And all the home gym people were upset about it for different reasons. And so he came out with a video where he answered some different questions. And they were like, I want Coop back. The one guy named Tim, I want Coop back. I want Coop back. I want the way it used to be. And he's like, hey.

Basically, he's like, Hey, you know, basically he's like, Hey, yeah, I make mistakes. We make a lot of videos. Uh, and then he's like, yeah, I didn't like not go cause I hated the home gym community. But do you guys like realize that these are my competitors? Right? Like they're my direct competitors. Like they're literally doing the same thing I'm doing against me. So I'm not saying I'll never go, but I'm not really excited to go to my competitors event. I mean, I thought his video was fine.

I thought it was fine. You know, it's just hard to tell how things come off as videos. I've always had good conversations with them. We talked about rogue a lot. I'm like, come on, but I'll tell you,

you should listen to the mass podcast. Cause like I finished, I was like, you know, he's not the worst guy in the world. Like he's out there trying to make a business and a dollar just like anybody else. I got nothing against Coop.

I watched some of his videos. So like him or hate him. Yeah. He is the OG in this space. He is. Everyone is copying him. Right. And well,

that's okay. You can copy. Like clearly there's a need for home gym content. Like I'm not saying you can't, but he is, he's the guy with 500,000 subscribers. He's the guy. And I think it's probably to the point,

it's sort of like when, when Trump didn't go to the first Republican debate, everybody's like, why didn't he go? He's like, I don't need to. Yeah. And like Coop doesn't even,

probably doesn't even need to go to home gym con. Yeah, probably not. I think he was in something in Europe anyway, or maybe like the week before. I can't remember. I only get into the drama if I'm somehow going to benefit off the drama. Right.

Besides that, I don't really care. Yeah, yeah. You need a home gym. Yeah, then I can get into the drama. All right, let's get these guys in here. get into the drama. All right, let's get these guys in here. All right. Episode 024

of the... Okay. Okay. Okay. It sounds like there's a voice missing. Yeah. Did we not sound loud enough, Trey? I feel like there was one missing.

Yeah, something's off. Oh, Jeff's not here. I didn't check my microphone. Oh, yeah. He's like, is my mic okay? Is my mic okay? Yeah. So welcome back, Jeffrey Biggie, Major Jeff Biggie,

United States Marine Corps, is not here tonight because he's doing Marine Corps things. And so that's why we're recording a week early because the show's got to go on. But we got Trey here from Oklahoma. So he's going to miss out on a bunch of good stuff. Thank you for your service. We got so many good topics. Yeah.

All right. Thanks for listening. Treyy you want to sign us off yeah i'm just driving this bus tonight yeah we didn't really talk about that do you have the list in front of you oh no i can get it now we can just we can just go off the cuff uh first why don't we get a dad update followed by a training update uh training updates gonna be real short uh okay busy week this week so classic old excuse training training's been light um dad update no dude everybody's doing good man it's uh twins are starting to sleep a little bit longer eat a little bit more um so starting a bit going, going up to like four to five hours a night instead of three in between

feeding breaks. So. All right. So I get healthy, wealthy and wise. Yeah. Doing good, man. I feel like you shopped my store in 2020. Didn't you? Probably. Okay. Do you remember the training continue slogan that I trademarked? I've seen it around.

I feel like you had the shirt, but maybe you didn't. But I feel like I need to remake that shirt and send you one. Training continues. Because it was like the gyms are closed. Build a home gym. We'll bring it to you. Training continues. Do you want to hear my excuse this week?

Oh, yeah. So I'm doing some remodeling upstairs we're getting some built-ins put in and so they're using the garage for painting and so it's just been it's everything's covered in plastic right now not a great excuse but that's i'm sticking that's not bad you know what would go viral though on the strength co youtube what's that you inside the rack underneath the plastic as people were painting wearing a mask squatting 225 for reps can't breathe dad must get his lips in don't worry there's no lead in this paint it's all good that would go viral that would go viral

yeah yeah we'll think about it don't worry be happy especially if i get this out let's see if i get ai i'll get ai to generate that yeah yeah let me just type that up real quick yeah i'll do a great bot and see if you can generate an image hey make me an image of a guy in frisco texas squatting 225 with a mask on okay now cover him in plastic. Okay, now surround him with workers with paint guns. Okay, good. Paint it black. Black. I can see it now.

You get to like rep eight. You're breathing heavy. You get to rep nine. You barely get it. Rep Timmy, just pass out. Face flat on the ground. Blackout screen. The strength go. Training continues. I don't count past five when it comes to reps, man. I don't know what you're talking about.

My guy. That's cardio. My guy. So I'm going to guess since you haven't been able to hit the weights, you've been running around that beautiful little lake in front of your house? We've been getting some walks in, some solid walks in. Yeah, you got to take those babies out. Yeah.

Get some vitamin D. You got those babies in like a Molly onesie? No. I saw that tactical baby gear. Did you see they sell a Molly baby carrier? I've seen it all. That might be a bit much. I don't know. Is it?

I'm like January 6, 2024. You could have an AR-15 like six mags and a baby on your back protecting your six. Ugh. You can't afford not to.

That's true. You have to do it. If they made one for twins. Actually, new idea. Strength Co. branded MOLLE gear. Easier. We can just make patches that just get velcroed on to existing molly what's the weirdest what's so i would actually be pretty good what's the weirdest thing someone's like oh hey grant you should make this i mean jeff once asked me if

i could make a ship for the navy uh so that's probably the weirdest. He said not yet. Was that in jest? Like, was he just joking? Yeah, yeah. Because I was complaining. Not complaining. I just said, I think it's hilarious that everyone just thinks like I'm a titan of industry. And so like anything that is any type of metal or alloy,

Grant, you should make this. So like a specialty bar, like a sideways hack trap bar i mean last time i was at wichita falls uh santana's like you need to make these things out of aluminum their handles so and then they have a clamp and they go down and so people can hold the bar here and squat i'm like one that doesn't feel very safe and two i feel like that would kill my mars bar sales uh like and and three like what do you think i just have titanium or aluminum laying around um what people don't know is this room is attached to a giant manufacturing steel working seriously seriously and behind him is yeah i would assume the hard part is not the manufacturing but the storage of said equipment right and then behind that is yeah i would assume the hard part is not the manufacturing but the storage of said

equipment right and then behind that is the manufacturing grant has a giant warehouse yeah yeah all the equipment the everything yeah but you were kind of being serious i don't mean serious i would imagine like i actually do have two giant warehouses and everyone's like why don't you make squat racks i'm like you know how hard it is to keep all like all right so you get let's say an order of 45s i think 972 fit on a truck a truck's limit by 40 44 500 pounds facts so 972 45s is going to be like 28 pallets. And we got pallet racks on each side, you know, top to bottom, too deep on some side. But 28 pallets like takes up

a lot of space quick, even if you're going vertical. I like to say your quality of life is based upon the amount of warehouse life. The quality of warehouse life is based on the number of horizontal surfaces you have so you can store stuff.

But here's the interesting thing. You want to know what 972 45 pound boxes looks like no six eight six eight feet tall pallets like it's and so then then and then you have to have the plastic bag put them in so like all of a sudden it's a bunch of stuff um but you know grant% off a flag for Memorial Day. What is this? It should be 25% off plates plus a free flag when I place my order. Did you get that? Oh, yeah.

Get them all the time. People are insulted by that. I said, this is why I don't do sales. This is why I don't do sales. If you're shopping for Strength Co. Plates, Strength Co. Powered or OK Podcast powered by Strength Co. Prices are going up

price of bitcoin soon and this is not a threat it's not an empty threat it's uh inflation i don't know why i don't know if you watch what's going on in the country but the cost of living is going up and so am i going up 34 not that much but it's going up so get it while you can when you can not grant's fault not my fault hey call your congressman yeah call your local congressman call him up i'm sure he knows a lot yeah he did it call the call the uh the woman running for the secretary of treasury in Missouri. Yes. Yeah. Have you seen her Trey? No.

She's the one with like the, the AR 15 jogging with like jogging, like through a gay neighborhood. And then being like, the only thing worse than being gay is being weak and gay. And then it like cuts to her. This is a real ad, a real political ad.

And then it like cuts to her with like an AR 15 and like five 11 pants. And she's like, I'm whoever running for the secretary of treasury of Missouri. I'm like, what, what, like, what did I just watch?

I don't know what happened, but I was entertained. She got my phone. Somebody, somebody, a lot of this stuff is crazy. Like what was I watching? Oh, I was entertained. She got my phone. Some of this stuff is crazy. Like what was I watch? Oh,

I was watching today. Marjorie green, Taylor, Taylor, Marjorie, Taylor, green, Marjorie,

Taylor, green, GT, Georgia, Congresswoman can't stand. Um, but she's yelling about how the left started lockdowns which i'm like actually the right definitely started lockdowns but whatever fauci should be in jail you know all this stuff and

then she's like dropping f-bomb saying s-h-i-t f-bomb again and then saying that i and then she's saying and you guys say I serve Donald Trump? I serve Jesus Christ and God Almighty in heaven. I'm like, really? With that mouth? All right. Very well. I just thought it was funny.

It was like a manic episode. She's like the space laser lady, right? Yeah. She's a little bit out there. A little bit? Aluminum foil hat. Who's voting for this girl? That's a little bit out there. A little bit. Aluminum foil hat. Who's who's voting for this girl? That's what I want to know.

Apparently, the great people of Georgia, Georgia. Every time I bring up a crazy politician or like a scandal, people always say, yeah, he's going to get reelected. And I'm like, yeah, you're probably right. Yeah. Next week's guest, Marjorie Taylor Greene. Well, actually, we. We talked to her about CrossFit. Actually, next week's guest is going to be Alex Jones because the feds are coming after his studio.

They were raiding it and shutting it down. Now, did the feds say that or did Alex Jones say that? That's a great question. Twitter said that to me, but... Then you know it's true. Apparently, he slept in the studio. He's's like i'm not leaving

and then uh yeah i think they're coming after him though might be his last episode alex so he's free for the next week so someone made a song of a alex jones compilation of like all the stuff he said but like music he said a lot of stuff someone post that in the slack by the way so someone posts in the Slack. Yeah. Get on Slack $29 a month. We actually have all types of political views. That's true.

Yeah. And someone posted in the Slack and then someone during a zoom class was talking about it. And so I share music in the class. So if you're looking for live coaching, check out my coaching service. It's a private small group. Seriously. We vet you. If I don't like it, you you don't get in that's just the way it goes

but you come in it's actually pretty cool it's a vibe a lot of business owners um i mean i learned so much i learned so much not about lifting coaching that class but one of the things i do zoom has this cool feature where you can share audio so everyone has headphones in you know it'll be like trey squat geordie squat grant squat bill squat then everyone's kind of resting and there'll be banter business talk whatever and then when everyone someone squats i'll turn the music back up so this guy likes metallica this guy likes waylon jennings right and it just kind of makes it like a little bit easier so you can't hear people fart and burp and stuff it It's fine. Yeah. Anyway, uh,

someone was like, Hey, play that song that was posted in Slack. So I played it. And a lot of times I'll do is on my quick time player, I'll just hit screen record and I'll record it. And then I'll just tweet the video, you know,

and I'll be like Monday morning deadlifts, you know, just some kind of motivation. Anyway, I just gotten to like 7100 followers and i posted that video and i didn't even think that the sound was playing i just like i did it like during the class like quick boom trim down post yeah and then like that afternoon i had like 69 nice 100 followers and i was like what happened and like i'm looking and i'm like did

someone like dog me on x like is someone saying like i'm a fraud like what and then the only thing i could tie it to was like oh people got offended by that alex jones wait a minute i didn't even know was playing in the background wait a minute. I didn't even know was playing in the background. Wait a minute. Fantastic. All right. Let me do Jeff's job. We got it. I mean,

we got to talk about the Caitlin Clark getting shoved. Oh yeah, we can do that. Did you see that? I saw the clip of it. I didn't watch it live. Of course. Yeah.

I haven't watched any WNBA live, but all that's on sports center and and not even like I don't even watch ESPN SportsCenter that much. To be honest, I like get most of my sports news from X. Yeah, but it's all over the SportsCenter ESPN. And yeah, so she gets shoved by. I don't know her last name starts with a. And Angel Reese goes crazy on the sideline, celebrating her getting knocked down. And then the person gets a flagrant. Clark hits the thing.

And then the post-game conference, that player, that hitter, was like, I don't even know why people get so excited about Caitlin Clark. She can't do anything but shoot threes and uh yeah portnoy had a portnoy had a pretty good portnoy had a pretty good like riff on it because you know like before clark before this year they all flew commercial yeah and now they're flying in private jets nice because like there's enough money nice and so he just like played the clip like on a loop and he's like make her fly commercial make her fly commercial and i was like so stupid but i had a good belly laugh

was it was it a it was an unsportsmanlike conductor was it just just typical sort of hazing like hey welcome to the nba wmba i think so i don't I think it's a little bit of jealousy, personally. Yeah, I think so, too. I think it's 100% jealousy. My problem with it is it's like people that hate on CrossFit. Yeah, Jim DeNova. Yeah, I mean, he likes CrossFit. But if you're in my space and you're selling equipment,

why am I going to hate on CrossFit? Use my bumpers however you want. Hey, once they leave the warehouse or if you're just on you, if you're just a fitness coach, you know, it's like, Hey, I want more people working out with barbells. Cause then maybe I can convince them into strength training. So yeah, I don't, I mean, maybe that's not a great analogy, but I don't understand if I'm a WNBA player and no one's ever talked about my sport and I'm a professional athlete. Right.

And this girl comes in and all of a sudden it's, I'm all over the news, but I'm all over the news because of her. And she's on the news more than me. I don't care because like i'm gonna i'm now being televised like there's more money in the sport but yeah like a famous crossfit gym opened up in greenville south carolina and all these people wanted to start getting into barbell training you're not mad about that yeah or they just want to use stranco plates that's what i'm saying yeah they might need some bars they might need some equipment you know yeah and just in general more

people are getting strong isn't that what we're trying to do yeah that's exactly what we're doing here um oh good uh so I think we'll transition as we always do we cover women's sports first because this is a pro women's uh podcast look at the analytics every week um we get you know three people that listen. Two of them are men, and the woman is my mother. But we care about that 33%, and we're going to cater to them, although my mother probably doesn't like the WNBA. But we'll roll from WNBA to NBA. And first thing on the list, now that I'm the slide guy, is the NBA Finals predictions.

Jeff put his in here. Do you want me put his in here. Do you want me to tell you his now, or do you want to talk about it? No, tell me, tell me his. Okay.

Do we want to talk about the series at all? Let's talk about series first. And then I'd say, let's get into it. You hit it first. So dude, I was surprised. Kind of now kind of dab into the NHL a little bit.

If you were to tell me like, Hey, one of these teams is going to make it to the finals between the Mavericks and the Stars, I would have picked the Stars. I thought they were a good team. So the Mavericks getting this far, I was kind of surprised about, just because I didn't think they were that deep. But then Lucas started going off. So they're a fun team to watch now for sure. But I think the Celtics, man, are just like top to bottom.

Everyone's playing well. What's their star's name? Like their number one guy. Yeah, dude, Tatum is just a stud. I just think they're a complete team kind of top to bottom. And then Mavericks, like I said, besides Luka, who's phenomenal, and Kyrie Irving, who's playing great as well. Old Kyrie is back.

Yeah, man. It's just like both of them are fun to watch. And if they're both on, hitting everything, they're hard to beat. But I think Boston's just too good of a team, man. Just top to bottom. So I'm definitely biased as a Celtics fan. I actually think Tatum is a star. I don't think he's just too good of a team, man. Just top to bottom. So I'm definitely biased as a Celtics fan. I actually think Tatum is a star. I don't think he's – I mean, maybe he's a superstar,

but I do think that Boston's greatest – I mean, one, their defense, but it's like Tatum will hang 32, and there'll be like two other guys that did 26 and 28. And there are tons of assists. They play great defensively. I think they're great. They do have a problem with late in games, letting leads slip away. And so that's why I personally think and people will hate this, like people that really watch NBA.

I think Luke is the best player in the NBA right now. Yeah. Like, I think some people would say it's Jokic. But Luca, I mean, I would hear that. I think some people would say it's Jokic, but Luka, I mean, he's incredible. So I think Luka and then Kyrie is a champion, right? He's won before. He's got a beef with Boston. He stomped on Lucky's head.

I think he wants to prove something. Who's a bad team? you know, I think he wants to prove something. So who's, who's a bad team. I would like, let's say like Portland trailblazers. I think if Tatum went to like a bad team, I think he would be considered a superstar. I don't think Boston's the way they play is not conducive to having a superstar,

which I personally like it's team. It's fun to watch. It's like way more fun to watch. Yeah, no, I agree. But I just think like I mean, it's late in the game and it's not just like, oh, feed LeBron. Oh, feed Tatum. It's get it out to Derek White.

Al Horford will hit a random three. It's deep. I think if KP poor gang, poor KP will just him KP. If he's back, I mean, which he should be back, I think Boston wins the series. Jeff says 4-2 Celtics.

So in six games. I think it should be 4-2 Celtics, but I think the NBA wants seven games. I think Kyrie Irving in Boston. I mean, obviously, they want seven games, but I'm not saying it's rigged, but I think Kyrie Irving in Boston conflict

is going to fire the Cavs, the Mavs, the Mavs up and I think it's Boston for three. I think it's Boston for three. Hmm. See, I think it's going to go to seven. I don't want it to banner 18.

You pass the Lakers in the most banners. You win the first one since 08. It would be the third since 1986. So you have 17 banners prior, 16, 15 banners prior to 86, 86 with number 16 and then nothing until 08. I know everyone gets mad because the Patriots were good for so long, but it would be huge for the Celtics

to win one, but I think it's going to go seven games. It starts off in Boston, right? First two games in Boston, I believe. Yeah, Boston, Boston, Dallas, Dallas, Boston, Dallas, Boston. I think, I don't think it goes to seven.

I think, I think Boston takes the first two. Dallas takes the first game in Dallas. Boston takes the next one. And then they went in Boston. I think, I think it goes, was that five games? Yeah. I think it goes five games. Boston wins.

Dallas takes one of them. I think that's, I just think Boston's that good, games? Yeah. I think it was five games. Boston wins. Dallas takes one of them. I just think Boston's that good, man. Yeah. I think Boston drops. And this is like, I low-key like the Mavericks. Like, I live in Dallas. I mean, you would like, I mean, because I would be happy, it's probably the only reason you'd pull for the Celtics.

Like, you know, it's like my brother, like when the Hawks are, we're playing, he's like, I don't really like the Hawks, but I've lived in Atlanta for 15. Yeah. It's like, yeah. Yeah.

It's like, I root for the Mavericks and whenever I watch them, but like, I don't know. All right. So you're saying, you're saying Boston and five. Yeah.

Yeah. I think it's quick. Jeff saying Boston and six. I'm saying Boston in seven. You've been to an NBA playoff game. Have you really? Yeah. With me.

With him. We went last year. He was in Miami. Boston went down 0-3 to Miami in the Eastern Conference Finals. And so ticket prices plummeted. Okay. I'm like prices plummeted. Okay. I'm like, I'm going. Was it a concrete grant or was it just regular grant and going to see again?

Is there a difference in the two? I'll explain that in a second. So we, so I'm like, D let's go. So we buy them. I'm like direct flight to Miami. We can hang with Jordy. And the next day we can shoot a youtube video in his high-rise apartment and i've never been to miami and you've never been to miami no and everyone speaks spanish there so let's go yeah so i tell jordy like hey we're coming i'm like okay and i'm like we're going to the game i think tickets were like 320 bucks wait for both of them no for each okay okay ticket. Oh, each. Okay, okay. That's what you're still...

For a playoff game, it's really good. Yeah, so for a finals game, I mean, but Boston's down to three, whatever. I would think if I'm a Miami fan, I'm dying to get in there, win, and go to the finals while I'm at home in Miami. But anyway, so I kind of think Jordy's going to be like, hey, I'll catch up with you guys after the game.

And I'm like, hey, I'm buying tickets. Any chance you want to go? He's like, yeah, count me in. And I'm like, I don't know buying tickets. Any chance you want to go? He's like, yeah, count me in. And I'm like, I don't know, Jordy, that well. Jordy loves sports. Dude, they're $323. He's like, oh, yeah, that's fine. Just tell me what to Venmo you.

I was like, cool. And so, yeah, we went. I swear, I was like, what, one of 10 people wearing a Celtics jersey? There's probably three green jerseys in just a sea of. Were they chirping at you? Oh, yeah. Well, they were chirping at me in the airport like in the airport in miami was definitely the most chirping uh the airport in greenville for whatever reason people were like uh oh man you got some balls wearing that jersey i'm rooting for you go celtics. And I'm up there, right? I'm like, yeah, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp.

And Diana's like, can you just shut up? But yeah, we went and Boston won. And so if you remember, that went to seven games and went back to Boston for a chance to win it. No NBA teams ever won, went down 0-3. And Jimmy Butler did Jimmy Butler things. But so anyway, what's your prediction? Ever won, went down 0-3. Jimmy Butler did Jimmy Butler things. So, anyway, what's your prediction? I think Celtics win everything.

Why not? So the Celtics win in four? Yeah. 4-0. Sweep. Sweep, baby. Sweep. Hey, that's the only.

I guess we all said Celtics, but we all just said we each have a different number. We said 7-6-5-4. Yeah, I'm going Max Celtics. All right. What a true fan. What a true Celtics fan over here. Get the brooms out. Get the brooms out, Jordy. Let's see here.

I guess you want to do a quick NHL? Might as well. How much I hate the Panthers? You hate the Panthers. Okay. You take it from there. Is it Panthers versus? No.

Oilers. Yeah, Oilers, right? I don't know why I thought the Rangers won. No, Panthers beat the Rangers. Yeah. In seven. And the Oilers won, right? Yeah beat stars and six yeah yeah so it's uh Oilers Panthers I hate the Panthers so you're going we're both Canadian on this right so we are

I'm Canadian all the way my Canadian listeners if you don't know strength coat plates now's the time to buy them because I'm your biggest fan. Text me or DM the Strength Co. and say I hate the Oilers and I will send you a coupon code. I hate the Panthers. Yeah. Man. No sales unless. Wait, wait, wait. Can you fix that? I hate the Panthers.

I too hate the Panthers and I live in Canada. Boom. We'll get it in post. Yeah. No, I don't know, man. I think Panthers, as much as I hate them, I think they're just a good playoff team. So I think that one could go to seven, but I think

Panthers end up taking it. I'll say Oilers in seven. Okay. Boom. Yeah. Me? Oilers sweep, right? Yeah sweep right yeah sweep dude i'm pro sweep over here big sweep guy get this stuff off of tv so we can talk about something else in the podcast let's move on yeah that's my answer who's better sweep them it's actually time for a jordie segment. Jeff, RIP for the FDO Downrange,

posted that Tyson ulcer forced to postpone bout versus Paul. That was on July 20th. For how long? PJ's the expert here. TBD. So I guess Tyson was on a flight, had

some kind of medical issue. Turns out it was some... A little tummy ache. Probably had COVID. Tyson was on a flight, had some kind of medical issue. Turns out it was some, I don't know who knows what the truth is. A little tummy ache. A little. Probably had COVID. Yeah. Stay safe out there, everyone. A little tummy ache.

Turns out it was some ulcer problem. Who knows if that's the truth? But he had some ulcer problem. And the doctor, you know how much we like doctors, said, hey, man, no heavy training for like several weeks now or maybe a couple months. He should have called Caleb Gottlich. Yeah. Would have told him to deadlift 515.

He would have said, take it easy, nothing crazy, maybe just 500 for three sets of five. Yeah, so smooth. he would have given a very doctor answer about movement on the sagittal plane versus you know non-symmetrical movement yeah and you would have been like oh this guy hates deadlift and then he'd be like yeah i deadlift heavy i deadlift 515 he'd be like wait what therefore deadlift 515 that was that was the answer typical doctor did that long answer and i said so do you deadlift yes do you deadlift heavy yes do you deadlift over sets of five no okay so you believe in strength training i i said don't load the sagittal plane incorrectly right yeah yeah we know we know we know the conversation i had with the love the kid but yeah glad he's glad he's a real doctor

though i still feel well actually he's he's like I got to use that to let people know I'm a real-time doctor. Real doctor. Not a fake doctor. Yeah, not a fake doctor. So TBD? So basically, they said, hey, Tyson basically can't train for, I don't know, a month, two months. There's no way he can prepare for the fight. And they're all just like, hey, there's no way I'd want to fight an untrained fighter.

That's not even fair. That's not fair to the fans. Is that what Paul's camp is saying? Yeah. We want to make it fair, have it be a legit fight. We're going to postpone it until later in the year. There's no date set yet. Do you know how much the purse is?

Or is there a purse, or are they just both getting paid a certain amount? I don't know what the purse is. It's going to be streamed live on Netflix. I bet it's some kind of deal where, since it's on Netflix, I don't think It's going to be streamed live on Netflix. I bet it's something, it's some kind of deal where, since it's on Netflix, I don't think it's going to be a pay-per-view. I bet Netflix is just paying them a fixed rate and hoping they're going to make it up.

I'd be curious. I remember the last boxing, the last boxing match I watched was when we were in Grant, me, Grant, Jeff, some of the people went to Big Bear. Oh, I thought this was a podcast no we watched the mary weather that's it floyd mayweather versus manny pacquiao was the last boxing match right and i feel like that purse was like big a hundred million like i i might be like

i was gonna say i don't i don't see how these guys don't make i mean i would think the lowest is 50 million each oh for like a big time fight for for this fight like for the netflix deal like i i mean it's gotta be i don't see them doing this at under 50 million so that fight biggest payday in sports uh pacquiao would have agreed $80 million or would take home $80 million. And Mayweather would get $120 million. Yeah. Floyd Money Mayweather, baby. Dude. He won, right?

Didn't he? I think he did. Yeah, he did win. He definitely won. Yeah. But yeah, I don't know, man. It's going to be delayed. I still just don't have...

I've said before on previous episodes, if you've been listening, this is a test. See if you've been listening. I've said before that we're going to the moon. I'm vote. Well, yeah, everyone knows that though. I don't have to say that again. 71.

It's at 71. So live on show. Shout out Zach Copley. I've said before, I'm pulling for Tyson in this one. I'm hoping he shows up, but I'm just really confused by Jake Paul doing this one. I'm hoping he shows up. But I'm just really confused by Jake Paul doing this because it's a lose-lose for him. I mean, now besides the purse, right?

Besides the money, which is a big factor. But if he loses the fight, everyone's going to say, dude, you lost to an old man. And if he wins the fight, they're going to go, dude, you beat up on an old man. What's the big deal? Do you think his popularity is so big that becoming more famous

is not some of what's worth? You know what? Hot take of the podcast. This could be his last fight. Who knows? Maybe it's one giant cash grab before he goes out. I feel like this damages his

reputation it's like he's cashing in on his jake paul reputation in my opinion but jake paul's more than just a fighter right he's like a brand yeah okay lately he's a fighter here's what i would say that i think is a win for him is boomers boomers don't know who jake paul is true my parents don't know who jake paul is that's not just because they're southern baptists they just have no idea who jake paul is they know who mike tyson is partly partly because they're southern baptists well i partly but like i will tell you i watched tyson holyfield with my dad at our neighbor's house. My dad doesn't even watch sports. We ate Buffalo chicken dip and it was great. Mike Dyson, he was a phenomenon.

He was beyond boxing fans. I don't know. I think Paul and I don't know. I don't follow fighting super close, but I feel like Paul fighting Tyson, especially if he beats him, but even if he doesn't, one, the purse and cash out,

be done fighting, win or lose. Two, if you win, whether people say you beat an old man or not, everyone knows who Mike Tyson is. Right. It's just an awareness thing, like no bad press sort of concept. Yeah. Right. No, it's true.

Maybe he's a grifter. Oh, he's King Grifter oh he's king grifter after be grifted his whole thing is fighting old or retired fighters sometimes not even boxers who else is he who else he fought uh anderson silva um who does ufc stuff too he's he's fought ufc fighters what's the guy i'm i'm blanking on his name he's a bitcoin guy um he's a wrestler big wrestler guy wow i'm gonna i'll remember that in a few minutes here the undertaker the rock put it in the show notes yeah but he's like a lot of like retired guys for his fights one time he fought a real boxer he lost and so it's it's like a um it's like a experiment. And it's just pure branding.

It's like, I'm going to not think about, if you want to say, quote unquote, the integrity of the sport of boxing to try to say, hey, what's a true good matchup for these people? He said, I'm going to figure out the biggest names, put those two people in a cage together or a ring together and cash in and draw some attention to it. Was it Tyron martin yeah tyron woodley yeah wow and so no i'm not smart in terms of business marketing money genius so there is some upside for jake there's money for jake i think that's all jake's worried about i think it is but like but like at the same time like i at the same time though i don't think the

fight should happen i think it's disgraceful like it's like at the same time, like I, at the same time though, I don't think the fight should happen. I think it's disgraceful. Like it's a good, it's like disgraceful to Tyson. How much would you have to pay or how much would you have to get paid to get in a ring with Mike Tyson tomorrow? Well, what's the purse?

There's a number there. There's always a number for sure, but I'm not like a boxer trying to make my name for myself in the boxing community. Don't worry about that, which means that your number is just higher. Let's just say. We'll just say the Manny Pacquiao purse, 80 million, right? That's what he got? Yeah.

Would you take 80 million? Oh, yeah. I would take 10% of that and find them right now in my living room. Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. Me too. Me too. Eight million?

Me too. I think it makes a difference, though, if I'm trying to make a name for myself in boxing versus like, hey, take this random guy off the street and throw him in a cage with Mike Tyson, see what happens, right? I don't want to out Jordy, but I want to see how much he wants to hodl.

Would you take eight million fiat or 8 bitcoins? What's 8 bitcoins right now? 8 times 70? 570,000, 560,000, something like that. I think I'd take the 8 bitcoin. What? Seriously? Oh, to the moon.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. You'd definitely take 80 bitcoin. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm assuming in the rule, you can't just take the fiat and buy 8 million of bitcoin, right? Right, right, right, right. No, you get paid in Bitcoin or you get paid in fiat. Oh no, the Bitcoin would be more. No, no, that's a better deal. That's a better deal. My God. Y'all are loyal. Lunatics. Penny and nickels, dude. I don't care. He's just such a legend. Mikeyson's just such a legend that it's like fighting him out of his prime it's like what are you doing because like everyone knows everyone

agree i think jake would agree like prime mike tyson would murder jake paul he'd murder everyone and it's like fighting him out of prime is like dude what are you doing he's a biter yeah of course mike tyson agreed to it so it's all voluntary right I mean hey good for him grifter be grifted grift or be grifted the theme of this episode I know we're going to talk how much you'd

have to get paid to get into a boxing ring with like a tiger probably five minute round that's it I mean I'm not saying Tyson couldn't kill me I probably five minute round. That's it. I mean, I feel like, I mean, I'm not saying Tyson couldn't kill me.

Yeah. But I feel like a tiger would kill me in five minutes. Yeah. Oh dude. 8 million. I do 5 million. Two Bitcoin. I could survive for,

I could survive five minutes. You just have to make it five minutes just use like calm soothing sounds yeah so we could stay on sports but we might lose everyone we switch up the topics uh we can either go to canada fishing trip or george straight chris stapleton concert i want to hear about that first yeah okay so um was this was this have you been planning it or was it kind of i have never planned a single event in my life to include seats to include deployments okay and my marriage okay or the birth of my child longer than i have planned this event longest planned event great ever done ever dead serious he played they played in charlotte

last june and i was like i'm going next year so 12 months i was like boom we're in um was getting like two months later because these things like sell out big time, like maybe August of last year, I texted my buddy, Wade Coleman, Citadel grad, class of 09, potential sponsor.

And his wife works for the Panthers. And when I say works, I mean, she's the president. And I said, I said, Hey, wasn't thinking anything about tickets.

I just said, Hey, I'm buying tickets to Chris Staplet anything about tickets. I just said, hey, I'm buying tickets to Chris Stapleton, George Strait next year, June 1st. Can we stay with you that night? Because usually if we go to Charlotte, we go like crash at his house and hang out. He's

like, you can stay with me. How would you like to sit in the box? And I was like, oh, cool. What box? He's like the owner's box. Same when you're going to shut up. He's like, okay the owner's box same when you're gonna shut up he's like okay he's like same when you're gonna sit in next week for South Carolina North Carolina oh my god which we did and the Gamecocks got crushed and so boom we locked it on and uh yeah so I I didn't pay for tickets uh I guess it's all about who you know. Thanks. Anyway, yeah, so we went to that and

so Little Big Town opened up. Thoughts on Little Big Town? They got some good stuff. I'm not a huge fan. They're terrible. What do you like? I can't even think of a song. All I want to know is that pontoon. On the pontoon.

Smoking all the dope like I'm supposed to. I don't even think of a song. All I want to know is that pontoon. On the pontoon. Smoking all the dope like I'm supposed to. Is that it? I don't know. It sounds like, based on what they look like, seems like what they were doing. So LBT, LBT, is it there? No. LBT was opening up, and I didn't,

I'm not saying they're bad, but it's not my style of country. I would say that. No, I'm going skill like they're good. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So I'm kind of thinking I think they are talented that there's four of them. And if you told me

who's the lead singer, I'd be like all of them. No, I think it is i think they're like a team they're like a team band usually it's like trey gotlitch and the whalers and they're just like little big town yeah i don't go ahead i was like they're all married right like the famous ones they had was a girl crush or boondocks or like famous songs for a while. I don't let me know girl crush. Anyway, they were opening didn't think much of that. Then you had Stapleton and then you had straight. So my brother went to this concert last August or something like that and his two sons actually all his kids are huge George straight fans

like the one that just graduated high school like grew up in georgia huge george straight fan so my nephew huge george straight fan and so they all go wanting to do george straight and they're like kind of disappointed because they're like it's a stapleton concert and they're like just so you know it's a stapleton concert like the everyone there is there for stapleton and like george straight even said like i feel like stapleton's so good he's like one of the guys i'm passing my hat to is what they all told me because they were telling me about it when i told him i was going at uh my nephew's graduation in any event i'm thinking in my mind but i don't want to offend my nephew like i love george straight like love george straight yeah but i kind of wanted to be a stapleton

concert like if you ask me right now grant get in your truck and put on music i'm probably Like love George Strait. Yeah. But I kind of want it to be a Stapleton concert. Like if you ask me right now, Grant, get in your truck and put on music, I'm probably putting on a Chris Stapleton song before I'm putting on Amarillo by morning. And so I'm like, great. Stapleton, like I'm all about it. I think he's like a real country, a little bit Southern rock. He's incredible. He's incredible.

He's talented. His wife's know in his band which is cool you know like watching them sing live you could like i always think it's cool when it's like couples and then you can tell like the song like mean something and uh so stapleton comes out and he's great now the box is a little bit different it's like a little flatter right because you know there's like a congressman in there. There's like CEOs of companies in there. So you can't go in there wearing jean cutoffs and a cowboy hat. Strength Co. CEOs in there. Yeah, strength Co. CEOs.

There you go. Thanks, man. I didn't even think of that. All kind of folks in there. But I'm just thinking like, like oh it doesn't seem like this crowd's like that ramped up for stapleton awesome set uh he sang maggie's song which i didn't want him to sing uh and he doesn't usually sing on his sets but i guess his friend's dog just died like three days ago so maggie's song's about a dog dying it's like super gut-wrenching uh so

he sings that uh he sings he sings everything like he opens with white horse which is probably like his newest song that i like i'm like this is the opener we're in for i'd love it then george straight comes on and i mean the amount of better that George Strait was performing on stage blew my mind. Wow. And I was like, is this because because I know like every Stapleton song. I actually like I have every single one of his albums on vinyl. I was a huge fan of the Steel Drivers in college. Like I know a lot of Stapleton.

And like a lot of songs, like, oh, I know what this song is. Like, apparently I know every word of every George Strait song, like every single word. And then I'm like, he's such a performer, not like Garth Brooks running around, but just like what he says in between songs.

And I'm like, oh, this guy's been doing this for 50 years. And like on the, on the Jumbotron, like every video is so choreographed perfectly. If he's singing Troubadour, it's like him when he's like 20, if he's singing about the police, it's like the Charlotte fire department and police department and George straight singing.

And, and so I'm watching it and I'm thinking like, man, he really is the king. Like George Strait really is the king. Here I am coming in hoping, not hoping, but thinking this is a Stapleton heavy concert and I'm happy about that. And as it's going on, I'm like, he's the king. And not only is the king, but he sings a Willie Nelson song and gives like a 10 minute tribute to Willie Nelson song and gives like a 10 minute tribute to

Willie Nelson. Then he sings a Waylon Jennings song and not only a willing jing song, like a DOG dog. And then he sings Johnny cash and he's like paying tribute to all these guys. And I'm thinking like, you don't have to pay tribute to anyone. Like you've,

you're 71 years old. You've been singing for 50 years. He's got nothing to prove. Yeah. And so when I say he's. He's got nothing to prove. Yeah. And so when I say he's a better performer, Stapleton was phenomenal. Yeah. I don't know what it is.

It's not a knock on Stapleton. And it's not, I feel like when people say country music and performer in the same sentence, everyone thinks of Garth Brooks smashing a guitar. Like it's not that it's just like, yeah, it was great.

It was great. I actually put in the slack while stapleton was singing chris stapleton concert george state replaced question mark if you take the time step that was during the concert while stapleton was playing and then i was like i should delete that i was like nah we should talk about it wow i like his song um uh i can still make cheyenne sing it yeah gotta go now baby if i hurry i can still make cheyenne i think that's the like the best like dude like the girls always have their breakup songs like they're like oh i just played this taylor swift song and now i feel better. This Beyonce song. I think that's like the dude breakup song.

Crazy George Stray story. My uncle, there's a famous dance hall in Texas called Green Hall down in New Braunfels. This is going. If you're like a Texas performer, country performer, that's one of the places that you have to play.

It's kind of like Grand Ole Opry of Texas,as i would say so green hall pretty big deal so my dad's parents had like a river a lot they had a house on the river that my uncle stayed at and just bummed off them while he was going to college down there so he's walking around new bronfels and some guy comes up to he's like hey can you help me move a couple things walking around new bronfels and some guy comes up to me he's like hey can you help me move a couple things i need to my buddy left i need some help and he's like yeah sure he's like yeah sure he's like so you helped him move some stuff and then the guy's like hey i don't have any money but here's a signed signed uh picture of me i'm gonna be pretty famous pretty soon so i think he's packing up to like leave texas go to Nashville or something like that.

And it was George straight. And my uncle was like, yeah, okay. Dad, the picture. Cause he's like, yeah,

you don't have any. That's a great story. Yeah. It's a, as most people that know me know, I always say Texas is great on paper. I like to make fun of their football teams like to make fun of their their their big skies like to make fun of them that south carolina was making barbecue while they were still mexico uh like it was a lot i like to make fun of texas but when he sang take me to texas i looked at d and was like should we go

i'm in like this sounds fantastic are we going on the steel guitar so and so from Amarillo Texas on the fiddle Abby Gottlich from Frisco she did look pretty similar it was the hair she had the Abby Gottlich look it was pretty good

seriously can I steal guitar and be 65 so I can join his band yeah dude so jerry i'd be curious about your take on this so george straight a lot of a lot of big hits great performer big time country music star i don't know how many song credit like writing credits he has to a lot of those songs so So I think he has a lot of people, a lot of good writers write for him and then he performs the heck out of him. Right. Chris Stapleton, on the other hand,

I think writes pretty much everything, including maybe some George Strait songs too. He just didn't write Tennessee whiskey when she put them on the map. Yeah. Yeah. He started, he started as a songwriter. I know he's not a performer yeah stapleton oh so where are you going what's more i would say like so people always say george straight is like the king of country right do you do is he lose anything in your eyes if he doesn't write

his own stuff waylon jennings said that bob willills is still the king the day that Willie Nelson moved to Austin. So in my mind, Bob Wills is still the king. True. But I think it's cool when country music singers write their own music. Agreed. And if I don't like the country singer, I love to rip on the fact that they don't write their own music.

Okay. I think George St straight or chris stapleton is more of like a well-rounded musician like he can sing he can write he can play obviously george straight can play but like also he's 71 but lot of the songs, he's like this on his guitar. Chris Stapleton's jamming out on G or whatever. I think it's a talent. It takes away, but George Strait is so good. And I think some of it's just generational.

Just watching that crowd in Charlotte, it's like all the boomers were out. Yeah. I don't, I don't know. I mean, I, like I said, George, I'm going to hear your take on it, but like, I think it takes some talent. You have to have a ear for whenever you hear like, Hey, that's going to be a hit song. And then I'm going to, so I choose that song to record. You know what I mean?

Which I think George Strait did that. Garth Brooks did that too. He's kind of the same boat. But I don't know. What do you think, Bam? I think it takes 0% away from George Strait. I mean, the fact that Grant doesn't hand make every single Strength Co. 45. Cat's out of the bag. Sorry, I had to spoil that.

Oh, the phone. Kind of do, but kind of do. But the fact that he's not in his apartment forging steel i don't think takes away from the strength co brand i think the ultimate test is what's the effect on people what does it do like how is this used by people what's the benefit that you get from this this artist or this art the fact that he wrote it doesn't matter the fact that he's saying it is good like it's like what did he produce what what did he make happen george straight is a legend because he he created a whole movement of people and i don't think that the fact that he didn't write it matters even if

you wrote your own song how many songs were you influenced by that you kind of copied and stole from that you wrote your song like who's doing this by themselves nobody true yeah you know hey chris if we're gonna if, Hey, if we're going to, if we're going to kick it back to yesteryear and say that George straight was a founding father of country, I would say, uh, Hank Williams.

Yeah. Don Williams, Hank Williams, Jr. Coffee black. Uh, yeah. Bob Wells,

the King. Uh, but yeah, no, it was great. I mean, I don mean i actually i don't have an opinion on who's better who's worse i can tell you right now though when i got in my truck today i put on chris stapleton doesn't man i like george straight but like that's like his music and because i like i like skinner sounding stuff you know it's kind of like in that vein yeah um but

apparently i know every word of every George Strait song. I think everybody does, man. He played for a long time, which was good. The only one I didn't know is he has a tequila. He wrote a song that's like a jingle to sell his tequila. Like, down in Mexico.

He probably knew it by the end. He did the fake encore, and then he came out and he sang about his tequila and then talked about how you could buy it and then he gave some veteran a house and then he sang amarillo by morning and then he sang take me to texas and then he sang like 10 more songs and i was like yeah that was a really really fair encore wait my last on that is just hey how many if you start to look at how many artists or singers or musicians whatever have had a 50 60 year career you get a short list of names yeah a really short even

waylon jennings died yeah but like you got living long like this am i baby like you get like george You get George Strait, maybe Willie Nelson, I'd say Stevie Wonder, probably Michael Jackson because he started so young. Probably Mike Tyson. How did Jackson start young? What do you mean by that? He started at six years old. I was kidding.

Jeff's not here. Jeff's not here to get these jokes. Jeff's not here to get all the jokes out. That's awesome, man. I saw that. I was a little bit jealous. The cool thing was I left the box, and I say about the box, when you leave, you get to go down through the, like,

I went through the Panthers gym. I stopped, took my photo in front of Jadavia and Clowney's locker, saw the plates. I was pitching the plates to the president of the Panthers, which means that any expense to get there now became a business write-off, which means it's free. VW Tax. And as I'm leaving, it's where I'm headed. Boom. Who do I run into? Chris Stapleton. And the president's like, hey, this is Grant, CEO of the Strength Co. And he's like, I was listening's like, hey, this is Grant, CEO of the Strength Co. And he's like, I was listening to the OK podcast.

Sounds like you sell plates in a lot of states and like taxes are tough to navigate. And I said, you know what, Chris? They are. And I could tell you about my friend BW, but I got someone better.

And he's like, yep.

And I talked to so-and-so tonight during the show as I was sending them. We're getting Taylor Swift in 2028. And I was like, wait. We're getting Taylor Swift swift in 2028 and i was like wait we're getting taylor swift out four years what is this a campaign um yeah or he said i think so if you're listening you're a swifty i can't promise you she's coming to charlotte but i can tell you they're trying go to ticket master get your tickets she had a new level of fame i feel like recently like she's become like big, big,

I got a papal moose LaCroix here. This is for the FDO downrange we miss you jeff anyway uh let's see did you already go fishing in canada no next week next week all right let's uh let's tackle that and then we'll wrap with the tennessee football update okay I like that so this is gonna be my third year doing this trip and we go to uh go to it's called Lake of the Woods it's like on the border of Minnesota and Canada and so we go for a lake in that Woods uh yeah I think so yeah yeah it's not like in the woods it's like of the woods of the woods yeah yeah but it's dude huge like uh phenomenal so we go up there and uh really i'm i'm scared to say it because i don't want to give it away because it's uh such a little honey hole for me but that is so i can you beep that out yeah yeah post seriously when he

says when he says beep it'll go beep okay got it all right cool so man we so we fly in minneapolis then we take a small plane little jump plane up to um little border town the plane jumps yeah we'll jump for planes private jet yeah not a private jet i wish clark won't be there sorry no it's not can't look hard yeah yeah so then we take a small plane go up to uh i can't remember the border town what it's called and we take like a three hour cab ride up through canada and then we take a an hour boat ride to get to this island that we stay on. Is this a real story or is this a Grant story? No, this is a real story. Is it Big

Island or Bigsby Island? I'll send you a link. Phenomenal place. So we go up there and they have a bunch of cabins that we stay at and we fish. Literally, you wake up in the morning, you eat breakfast, and then you fish. You catch your lunch. We fish for wall up in the morning you eat breakfast that and then you fish you catch your lunch we fish for walleye in the morning get your limit pull over on island they fry up

some walleye then you fish in the afternoon go back have dinner and then you fish in the evening after dinner you're really fishing all day wait what's what's uh what's the limit on walleye what's uh what's the limit on walleye i want to say it's five okay and the size doesn't matter no there is if you catch a small walleye do you throw it back we throw it back because it's like not good eating like the big ones aren't good eating the small ones aren't good eating so okay you kind of get for you're going from the middle ones like 24 inches or something not that big i think like seven inches maybe oh okay got it like a little bit bigger than trout probably um so man we catch we catch our limit and then you sit there and you jig for walleye and then we eat and then you just do smallmouth bass fishing man

like the rest the rest of the time and dude there's zero so there's no smallmouth in texas that's too too hot for them yeah small man i said texas is great on paper canada is good and real yeah so if you want to get to large amounts there's total our job dm me i hate the panthers i'll send you a coupon code and so large mouth versus small mouth bass fishing have you ever called largemouth uh yes with uh jimmy houston as a kid i went on some fishing well that's yeah that's a that's a pretty good story right there so yeah there it is we'll see for next week yeah and so like largemouth like big but they're kind of compared to a small mouth

kind of just like lazy you just kind of reel them up and they don't have a lot of fight so i'm out there fighting a ton like taking your line zipping it so yeah i mean it's just like five days worth of fishing every now and then we'll catch like a northern pike or a muskie like a big giant trophy fish um i think so so out of muskie northern pike smallmouth bass and walleye because i kind of have a little bit of a comparison but like when you hook one of those and it starts running your drag out which one are you the most i know size matters that's what she said but i know size matters but which one like do you know like oh i'm gonna land this fish you know like oh i'm gonna land this fish versus like uh oh man like this guy might break me yeah i would say so the northern pike and the muskie have they're pretty sharp teeth right and they

have sharp gills uh their gill plates are pretty sharp and so if you don't have a like a steel leader on there like there's a pretty decent chance like you'll get broken off which i never do because i've just fished for smallmouth yeah so it which makes it a little bit exciting because you're like you fish for smallmouth in canada or in texas there's no largemouth in texas no reverse that no large fish so when you say you only fish for smallmouth, do you mean up in Canada? Up in Canada. Whenever I hook a pike or a

muskie, there's a 50% chance you'll get broken off just because they'll flare their gills and cut the line. Dude, I think they're fun to catch, but smallmouth, catching a smallmouth, man, like a good

smallmouth is probably... I'm a little bit biased on bass fishing, but that's by far, like, the biggest adrenaline rush, probably. I think. People go out there and just, like, a muskie's a trophy fish, and so, like, everyone will probably disagree with me. How big's a muskie?

Dude, I'll shoot you, I have some pictures of'll shoot you but it's easily but i mean is it like this big it could be bigger compared to the fish in your background it could be bigger than my six foot spread yeah they're probably like a big one's probably around that so so it's like catching a marlin yeah not not as big but they get pretty okay okay okay like a giant fish yeah it's like three x the one butt behind your head oh yeah they would eat that okay yeah okay wow so wow dude i love fish man i looked up the island that will not be named that you're going to I looked up the island that will not be named that you're going to Google maps here. Where do you stay? Like,

it looks like. So on the island, they have, uh, Oh yeah, that's small. They'll have like a bunch, they have like seven cabins,

right? So one cabin is like the main cabin where you have your meals into the other cabins or where you sleep. And so you just, and they're not huge. It's like two bedrooms and you just kind of, you stay in there. So I go through with like all the guys on my wife's side of the family. We go up there and fish. So they should outfit it with some strength coat plates.

Is it all guided fishing? So that's the nice part about it is that, like, you know, when you go with a guide and they, like, do everything for you, this guide is not mine. I have the world's best fly fishing guide. So probably similar. He just says, hey, he just says fish here. I would throw this fish here.

And then he kind of lets you just do your own thing. But you do have, like, someone shepherding the kind of whole event. You can. Like when you go out in the evenings, like we just go out by ourselves. They fill up a boat for us and we just go out. Yeah. So I've been doing something kind of similar.

I've called it the world's greatest hack and it's like twofold. One, so I like to go with my guide once a month and now that the weather's nice, I'll meet him early, like seven o'clock, get on the water 7 30 and we'll fish to like four like how long can you expect this guy to stay yeah like i've already told my wife that i'm gonna be gone all day so like he'll leave and then i'll be like take all

the new skills i have and i'll just go back into the water and i'll try to fish again and so like on days not like i commit to fishing it's like like, I'm not going to do any work. I'm just doing this. Well, lately I've been like, well, if I get up at five, I can leave at five 30. I can be on the water at seven and then I can get off at 10 30 and I can be home at noon and then I can catch up on all my work and just work late and

it'll be fine. And so I've done that a few times and it works fine. But then the other day, this one particular river that I can't name, I'll name it and then Jordy can bleep it out and post. Beep, beep, beep. You go there.

You go to bleep that out. North Carolina. And then you have service. And then you go up into the forest and then you go up into the forest so you go up into the forest and like there's a bunch of different you could you could do the the lower part you could do the north fork you could do um i guess you're gonna have to be about all kind of stuff you could do this creek you do that creek you do this whatever yeah yeah and then but basically wherever you're fishing you can get back to 20 minutes.

Okay. You don't have to have service again. So today, I was like, all right, I really want to fish. I got marine drill this weekend. And then I was looking at the calendar. I was like, I'm not going to be a fish again until June 20th. So last night, I stayed up late, did a bunch of stuff, scheduled a bunch of media things.

I'm like, okay, I'm good. Everything's set. Emails are scheduled. Leave at 530. I get on the water by 7.15. But I had a Zoom class at noon. And I was like, oh my gosh, I'll just go down to... And by this fly fishing shop, they have a tap room and coffee house. And I'll pack a sandwich and I'll get a coffee and I'll do my zoom class. And then I'll like take 45 minutes, like put out any fires and then I'll just go 15 minutes back into the forest.

And, uh, Oh, it worked fantastic. Except today in particular, I went out in the morning, I caught three fish. I,

I was kind of like paranoid about, I fished like a new section today it's like whenever you just go to like a random pull off you never know like what's the hike down gonna be like yeah am i gonna hike down and then like the water's seven feet high or it's like raging like so you never know and so i hiked down and then also it's like the first time i always drop the pins like save it but if it's the first time you've gone down at least me i'm always paranoid about like finding where i come back up because you just get so in the zone fishing and like working upstream that all of a sudden you're like i've been fishing three hours have i gone a mile or have i got 40 feet

like i don't even know i've just been like seeing that structure over there fish that um so yeah so this morning i caught three nothing nothing big uh all like three small rainbows saw a couple bigger ones that i was sight fishing like that like i gotta get better on fly selection because they were like bumping them in the head, basically. They didn't care. They weren't going for it. But yeah, so then I came back. I did the coaching.

I was so pumped. I was like, oh, I got this new thing. And I was like, I'm going to go to this creek where you can just park. I don't even have to put my wading boots on. I can just walk down there in Sperry's and I can fish for like 70 minutes. And then I have to go because I was volunteering at a church church sing night and so I did and I didn't catch anything I broke my flies like three times I'm actually like way better at tying stuff now so it's not as detrimental as it used to be used to be like Grant breaks his flies two hours two hours later Grant's fishing again now it is like

you know maybe eight minutes or ten if I'm autistic um but yeah so i didn't catch anything in the afternoon but it did work it was cool it was like you go you fish the morning early you come back and then like the other part of it is like well if i come back and there's like a bunch of orders or people wanting quotes or you know something that's going to make me a bunch of money then i'll just be like well i won't fish the afternoon and I can sit here and work. So while it's reserving, Craig has found his new office. Yeah, I found a new office. New headquarters.

It's at the bottom of... I'm going to use that beep to beep the other things. Yeah, hopefully it's long enough. But yeah, it was fun. But what I was going to say in line with your walleye or this or that or whatever, for me, I've never caught a really big fish in fly fishing. When I fished with Jimmy Houston, I caught some big ones. I mean, I've caught some decent-sized ones, but I've never caught a big one.

I've hooked a couple and fought them. And the biggest ones I've caught have all been rainbows. All the ones that I've like seen have jumped. I've gotten close, have like shown their head, and I've gotten really excited and lost. And it's probably up to like five now have all been brown trout. I guess they're kind of known for like a strong head turn. Yeah.

After you're like fighting them for a while. And so when I catch a Brown now, like today I caught one that was a cut. Yeah. I caught two rainbows in Brown. I caught one. It was like literally maybe seven inches long, but when I got it and he jumped,

I'm like, Oh man, like don't lose this fish. Like I know those things that turn his head on me. But anyway, yeah, I'm getting better now. I'll call myself and catch fish. You don't eat any fish. Like I know those things that turn its head on me. But anyway, yeah, I'm getting better now. I'll go myself and catch fish.

You don't eat any of these, right? I'm not opposed to eating them. I think it's like twofold. One, when I go out by myself, I've never caught, well,

I mean, I've caught maybe like a 10 inch, maybe a 12 inch. I've never caught like, and remember, I grew up working on the shrimp docks and like de-heading shrimp peeling shrimp sorting shrimp or filleting fish all right and so like i know how much of a fillet oh you bubba you get out yeah how much of a flay you get out of a 10-inch fish, and it's not very much. Yeah. And so, one, I don't catch fish big enough that I would eat them. And then two, for me, it's always a time crunch.

Like, whenever I'm done, like, I need to be done, and I need to get home. Yeah. And when I come back, I'm like, man, I'm glad I don't have to deal with, like, six fish. Yeah. So I'm not against it, but I don't i've never kept fly fishing like growing up i kept fish but do you eat rainbows yeah you just throw them back do you eat rainbows or do you eat browns or

do you eat both or you know like i don't know you as a civilization right well i just didn't know if like if yeah if you're if i'm gonna have trout like when you're at a restaurant i think you're like get rainbows but obviously people must eat brown trout but i don't know that i've ever gone to a that i can think of like a place to eat to order fish and been like i want the brown flat trout filet um so i still know if it was like catfish, like, you know,

there's like a, some people like blues, some people, I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. But probably I, like,

I haven't looked at it from the eating it side. Yeah. You're a conservationist. I'm a, I'm a conservationist. Oh, big time. Me and Jeff.

Hey, to the FBO downrange. We miss you, Jeff. Same in the world. Yeah. Jeff, just,

if I've ever gone on a podcast, make sure you remember me like I remember you. All right, let's wrap this thing up with a little Tennessee football. But first, the volunteers. We got to say, you know, BW attacks. Let me tell you, when Derek Dooley got fired, he wasn't worried about his next job. He wasn't worried about his legacy. What he was worried is, what am I going to do about my taxes now that I'm unemployed?

And I told Derek, I said, hey, I got a friend. He's in South Carolina. He's actually a Gamecock fan, even though he's from Boston. But he'll take care of your taxes, even though you're in Tennessee. And he actually a Gamecock fan, even though he's from Boston. But he'll take care of your taxes, even though you're in Tennessee. And he's a tax expert. And if you take that job and wherever Derek Dooley went, he can help you out. And so shout out to our sponsors, BW Tax. Absolutely. BW Tax. I love them. They're based out of South Carolina, but they can do taxes for you anywhere. They have CPA cpas they have the team

that you need to cut through all the red tape they did trace taxes got them in and got them out uh we gotta mention that whenever you're calling them don't think you're going to be talking to some chat gpt some bot you're not going to be put on hold for 25 minutes and then told we're going to call you back and then end up at church when they finally do and not be able to answer because you're in communion with the people that are around you. When you make the call,

they're going to answer BW Tax LLC from South Carolina to Tennessee. Whiskey. I'm going to say hypothetically, let's say you're a big-time football recruit. Tennessee shows up with a McDonald's bag full of cash.

Who are you going to call for your taxes? I know one guy. Yeah. There's one guy I'd call. True story, by the way. Tennessee didn't try to hide it that well. They just gave him a McDonald's bag full of cash. Did you see Dabo Sweeney with his recruit and you forgot his name

no it's so good he's like that's an old ball coach move i'm so and so i'm a five-star recruit out of so and so and like dabbo literally like jumps on camera and goes and i'm dabbo sweeney head coach of the clemson tigers and i'm here here with, and it was like a Joe Biden movement. Just like, uh, but like head ball coach would have pulled it off. Spurrier was so great with the media. Uh, RIP. I mean, he's alive, but you know, yeah. RIP to coaching.

Let's talk. Tennessee, man. Give it to me. So I'm going to keep it short. I'm not going to get all nerdy out on all these football things. So John Peiple coming back, I think he's year three for him, if I'm not mistaken. Year two, year three, I can't remember.

Dude, they were solid last year. They had a really good schedule or a really good record. John Peiple, high-powered offense, what he's known for. Oklahoma, played quarterback there, but just super talented on the offense side of the ball. Their quarterback, redshirt freshman,

Nico, I can't pronounce his last name, Amaliano or something like that, I can't remember. Can't pronounce his name, but the kid can play ball. 6'6", 210. That's all that matters. 6'6", 210 was like the second-rated quarterback coming out of high school.

Real solid talent, but this is his first year starting. They got a ton of talent, wide receiver. They got Brew McCoy. Who's the guy they had last year that was really good? He got drafted, right? I think he got drafted by the – no, their quarterback got drafted by the Patriots behind Drake May. Drake May's name now blows my mind because you have the green Drakes that hatch and you have May flies.

And so now when I hear Drake May, I just think of May. Yeah, big fly fishing guy. But no, who was their receiver that was really good? Really tall, out route guy. Jalen – was it Jalen Hyatt? Yeah tall, out route guy. Jalen Hyatt. Was it Jalen Hyatt? Yeah. I think, yeah.

Jalen Hyatt went to – he's gone. He's at the Giants. He might have been two years ago. I can't remember. Yeah, I could be off. Regardless. Yeah, that was their talent for this year. But they got Bre McCoy.

Bre McCoy was a kid who, like, committed to Texas, went to USC, transferred back to Texas, and transferred again to Tennessee. So he's been all around the world. But super talented wide receiver. I think he's coming off an injury, so hopefully he comes back. They got a five-star freshman kid. What's his name? Mike Matthews apparently showed out during spring ball,

did really well in scrimmage. So they got a ton of talent wide receiver. They have like almost all their offensive line returning, I think. So they should be stacked on offense with Josh Heupel calling plays. Defense, defensive line. I think he's from North Dakota, South Dakota originally. Okay. But then played ball, played quarterback at OU. Okay, but why are you so confident in his play calling?

Oh, dude. Well, he's like, are you talking about like where he? Yeah, yeah, where he was play calling last. Yeah, yeah. I think he was an OC, I think, under Stoops at OU for a little bit. Then he was a head coach. Where's Gus Malzahn now? University of Central Florida?

I can't remember. I'd have to look it up, man. He's super talented. I wasn't trying to stump the chump. You stumped the chump. I did stump the chump. But you're sort of like great play caller, and I was just curious where it was for.

That's what he's known for. He's an offensive. Custom call plays. Yeah. Before doing the mark job, Pelugia, he's your guy. He's the guy. Defensive line is nasty. Coming back, they got a lot of good guys, but they're back in linebacker and secondary.

That's kind of questionable, but they should be all right. Let me pull up their schedule, man. We'll get into it because one, they have a pretty favorable schedule going in. So, you ready for this? So, I think we're going to be kind of on the same page going forward

on these first couple ones. So, they got Chattanooga. Open up a Chattanooga. W. W. You got your tell sheet open? I do. Okay couple ones. So they got Chattanooga. Open up a Chattanooga. W. W. You got your sell sheet open? I do. Okay, good. NC State.

W. At NC State. W. I sold, I think, one as well. I know NC State. NC State is the Gamecocks of North Carolina. There you go. That's pretty accurate.

That's very accurate. Kent State. W. W. That's very accurate. Kent State. W. W. They go to Oklahoma. W. I got W, too. I can't remember what you said.

Oh, well, shouldn't it be in your Excel sheet? It is. I'll go back. I think you said, I think you had Oklahoma losing as well. I got W as well. Arkansas. At Arkansas. So they're as well. Arkansas at Arkansas. So they're 4-0 going into Arkansas? Yep.

I'm still going to go W. All right. Arkansas is terrible this year. I'm going to go W as well. Then they have Florida at home. Loss. So you call loss to Florida. Okay. I think it's just, it's hard to win all the games.

Fair enough. Yeah. I'm going to go. Historically, you've had trouble with Florida. I have been beaten Florida. So I have them undefeated. You have them at five and one. I have them at Florida. So I have them undefeated. You have them at five and one. I have them at six and six and now then they have Alabama. I'm going to win W. See, I switch.

I got lost in Alabama. Okay. Kentucky. What do you go first? I got win. Yeah, I'm leaning. Let's go W. Michael Buckley will be happy.

All these wins I'm giving to Tennessee. Mississippi State. Win. Their schedules. Mississippi State is going to be terrible this year. Yeah. But then they got Georgia at Georgia. Loss. I got loss as well. UTEP at home.

W. I got W. I got Vanderbilt at home. W. So I got two losses. I got them 10-2 or 9-2. I got 10-2 as well. We just got different losses.

10-2, we split on Florida and Alabama. Okay. You got to put this in the sheet because as we go through all the things, I got to start thinking about this. Yeah. Make sure you don't contradict yourself. I mean, I can't contradict myself.

It's true. It's America. You can do what you want. Yeah. I think I have them at 10 and two. I think they're a fringe playoff contender. I think it's they might sneak in at 10-2. 10-2, but a potential 11-1.

They could beat Florida. They could beat Alabama. They could beat Alabama. They'll be good in the East. I got to learn all of these new East teams. They got to get a schedule. I got to figure it out. Yeah, it's a nice schedule.

They don't play the Gamecocks. They don't play the Gamecocks. Let me tell you, there'd be another loss. There'd be another loss another loss another loss on the schedule another loss shane beamer in the house beamer ball but no i mean it should be good their quarterback i think is going to be a stud so just be on the lookout for nico last name unknown last name unknown all right let me see if i got any of their topics here oh yeah quick quick topics uh i posted on instagram send us your uh questions oh my cat is literally attacking me that was brutal dude i saw it actually was brutal i think you broke the skin

and the other side you represent your family name. And if there's one thing BW does, he represents tax. A true patriot, he's never going to let your tax situation down. That's why his parents named him BW. I mean, he's a living legend.

I guess that's why they call him BW. He's our sponsor. I think, what did you say? There's 23 emails for a sponsor request? No, 34. It was 34. It was 34 counts. Yeah.

34 counts. Felony counts. And we didn't like anybody. So we're looking at 35. If you want to sponsor, maybe you're a small business. If you're listening to this podcast, you're in a niche group of people, I guarantee we drive you some business. A lot of people reach out to BW this year. So hit us up. We'll make you an offer you can't refuse. Actually, the sponsor would be a write-off.

Yeah. If you're a small business owner, you just write it off. That's what BW does. And they'd figure it out. So here's the deal. You sponsor the podcast, Then you call BW and you basically make money. You can't afford not to. You can't afford not to sponsor. You're going broke not doing this. And what's your uncle's name? Sam. Todd. Todd. Okay. Listen, I'm just going to real quick. Then I'll hand it over to Trey to shut this thing down. Don't be uncle Todd right here. Okay. In this moment, I'm George Strait and I'm signing a photo and I'm telling you, this podcast is going to go big and this is going to be worth a lot of money. And what I mean by that is you sponsor in the

early days, we'll never forget your early loyalty. So you can do one of two things right now. You can email us and become a sponsor of the podcast, or you can rip up that photo of George Shade, throw it in the trash, and tell your nephews about it 40 years later. The choice is yours. Dude, imagine waiting and trying to sponsor this podcast in three years

when a 30-second ad is $400,000. Because right now we tell people no because we don't really need it. And we're like, no, we got to like them as much as we like BW. But one day it'll just be like, hey, how much you want to pay? Before I kick it over to Trey,

we almost hit 71 during the podcast. We're at 70,998. 71 at one point. Oh, I did, to Trey, we almost hit 71 during the podcast. We're at 70,991 at one point. I did. Okay. Yeah. We crossed it. Yeah. All right.
