All right. Welcome back to episode 028 of the OK Podcast powered by the Strength Co. I'm your host, Grant Brogy. The block height, we'll get right to it. Oh, we're on the price of Bitcoin. That means I have to introduce PJ. PJ is here in studio in the upstate of South Carolina. Price of Bitcoin is $57,599,000. Are you worried? It's World War II all over again. The Germans are attacking. Hey, hey, it's what they're back. I watched Fury last night, actually. Oh, you did? On my red eye flight, which I've seen before. Just got to rewatch it, though. I forgot how good it is. Oh, yeah. Like the guy like doesn't want to kill the Nazis at the end. He's like, like well that's basically what's

happening right now with the hodlers and the germans so the apparently the german government uh found themselves in possession of i think it was 50 000 500 000 some of bitcoin oh like a lot i don't know this i've been in california communist country so i'm like totally out of the loop yeah yeah this has been back in uh back in the non-communist states yeah um and they were like well the germans were like well we don't know what to do with this bitcoin what should we do and they decided just to sell it all wow so they're just like we don't want to hold this we don't want to keep this in possession of our of the government german government the german government sold it so has has been selling and

i think still that government's like to increase debt uh well bitcoin's not debt oh right yeah yeah that's true american debt american debt and then also uh there's i think the american government is actually selling a bunch of coins from that whole mount gox thing still i did see that yeah so all the governments are coming after us man and blame the Germans. Okay, but you're not worried. Actually, it's interesting. Selling billions and billions of dollars of Bitcoin a day that the Germans are doing, and it's $57,000. I'm not mad.

That's not bad. I mean, if you look at it, we're at episode 028, so that means 28 weeks. When we started, we were at $40,000. Yeah, the Germans were nice. Yeah, but now we're still up. We're still up, we were at 40,000. Yeah. The Germans were nice. Yeah. But now we're, we're still up.

We're still up. We're still up. It's, um, it's just, it's just how it works. It's like if you plan to squat 300 for three sets of five and you had, you,

you stayed up, pulled an all nighter, got the flu and still got like three sets of four. It's like, Hey man, yeah, that's pretty good. That's pretty good.

We're still up. So we're still up. Uh, we're recording to you live. It won't be live when you listen to it on Friday, but, uh, from South Carolina,

today's date is July 10th and the year of our Lord, 2024, uh, July 10th. My grandfather used to have a joke. It would be his birthday. I think he'd be 91 today. And then like in French,

I think in French, it's July 10, which means I lie 10. So he would always say his birth date was 10 years less. Anyway, it was on a family group thread today. And yeah, it's like the women in my family.

Always. It's always their 29th or the 39th. Yeah. They never turned 40. No, I've never met a woman that turned forty. No, I have yet to. Yeah, never happens. But yeah, we're glad to be here. Fourth of July over. It's never over. It's never over. Every day is Independence Day here. We had James on the podcast last week. If you didn't go back and listen to episode zero to seven and you

like the American government. Well well if you like the founding fathers i should say the old american government the old american government um good episode um i think the cat just dropped a turd oh right there yeah we'll have to fix that in post all good um but yeah anyway cats are yeah he's not happy he's's just, we're just going to let this roll. Yeah, dude. Now the other one's going to smell it. We need to record this. Yeah.

Sorry, cats are off camera. Cat just took a dump. So anyway, we'll fix that later. We're live. This is proving that we're live. They really want to clean it. Yeah, other proof that we're live, no block height yet, but it's coming soon.

It's coming soon, dude. We'll give you the block height. Let's see. What happened this week? So went to California. Yeah. Got in on the third. Nighttime.

Fourth of July. Workout at the gym. We made a vlog. You can see it. The vibes are unmatched. Yeah. You know, I I was gonna talk about that so a lot of times we talk about the importance of a coach I'm lifting with a coach which is important I mean I really think it's important and I think it's really important if you have like no idea what to do in the gym and that's

what I always say like you know I don't it doesn't really matter I want to say it doesn't want to matter, but like if you know how to lift, I don't know how much someone doing everything for you matters a ton. And this is from a guy that sells coaching for a business. Like it matters to optimize, maybe it matters for accountability. But what I'll say is if you don't know how to lift, like having someone be like,

Hey, this is how you do this safely and correctly is great. Cuts the learning curve. Yes. And what I'll also say is know how to lift, like having someone be like, hey, this is how you do this safely and correctly is great. Cuts the learning curve. Yes. And injuries. What I'll also say is that if you lift in an environment with a bunch of people that are fired up, it's just like a whole different thing. And I don't like to say like, oh, man, the motivation and the hype, that's what it's all about. But it kind of matters.

And 4th of July, we had a lot of members and we had a lot of old members. We just had a you know the Costa Mesa gym there in California. If you're looking for starting string style coaching, you're looking for a private gym with barbells. Go check it out. Jim's strength co super super cool. I'm not saying that because I own it, but having invited people we've been open there since twenty seventeen August first twenty seventeen. So we're coming with seven years so like a lot of people have come through man so i just emailed you know a bunch of old

clients it was like hey i'm in town for the fourth come by and like maybe 10 people show up or something or you didn't know yeah i didn't really yeah i didn't really know i just i was just like hey come by and most of the responses i got were like oh i want to i'm on vacation or i'm not a member can i come i'm like yeah just like it's the fourth of july just come lift and so i think i think it was like 28 wow plus some like family members so maybe a little bit more but so a lot of people came i think it was like 18 or 19 that like signed up and it was a full gym yeah more oh it was packed and then our gym's small it's like it's like 1200 square feet it's eight power racks so in um a very small section of what you'd find in your ymca eight times the racks um but uh only what you need yeah but what what lifting with

people it's just really fun i know man yeah it is it is and especially when everyone's like-minded yes so like the gym we have here in greenville great except you're lifting i'm lifting hopefully we're at the same time doesn't happen often but then there's like four climbers like just hanging on pull-up bars or dancing with kettlebells and reading yeah oh reading the reader the reader yeah that's what we call the reader. Yeah. Yeah. He also, the other day, tried to lay down a yoga mat between the racks and wanted to do dragonflies.

I don't even know what a dragonfly is. I know that was easier. He was like, is this bothering you? I was like, I'm about to squat 405, and it's literally going to be right over your face. Yeah. I don't recommend that. Yeah. Yeah.

Anyway. Dragonfly at your own risks yeah so uh yeah we had that uh gym event which was fun lifting with folks and then we um we had a starting strength camp um so we you know we do a bunch of different camps at the gym out there in costa mesa we do one every month where you can come in and learn to lift that's mainly designed if like i don't know you're a, you're trying to get your friends into the gym, low barrier of entry, come in. But also once a quarter, we do a starting strength camp. So if you want to learn the Mark Ripito style of lifting, we teach that. And so starting strength, you know, allows you to do two lifts and up to eight people. If there's one coach, 12 people, if there's two coaches,

we usually do a two coach camp. This one, we did one just because I didn't want to work my staff on the 4th of July weekend. So we sold that out pretty quick. We're only showing town or in the state of California. So that was pretty good. So we had that camp. We'll have some YouTube videos coming up next week, kind of breaking that down. But it's amazing to me if people are trying to do starting strength when they come into a camp like the confidence they leave with of oh now i know that i'm doing the lifts correctly or now i know how to do the lifts correctly and then they can simply go into the blue book and you know follow the program so that was cool we had that camp and um so there'll be some videos on that and then then what else happened in California? It was hot.

So they said, but it's a dry heat. It's a dry heat. But it was hot. It was like 95. Wow. I had some camaraderie over the 4th of July as well. Yeah, we've, me and my buddy, a longtime friend. Oh, that's right. You went to Indiana. I went to Indiana.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Went to Indiana to see my friend. Yes. Yeah. I mean, you came back in a flannel so it must be yeah it's the national uniform statewide uniform yeah you have to um but yeah i went to indiana to see my good friend troy i've known troy since i was nine years old something like that and every time you have to understand every time i see troy it's it's like suffering is involved somehow. Like it's like, you send to that sort of thing. Apparently. Yeah. Apparently. And it's always like, he was my lifting buddy in high school, college. We would do that. Then we were like, we do all kinds of stuff together. It's fun. It's always some kind of like physical challenge.

And so he had this great idea. I think very American of, Hey, instead of just like coming over and having friends over and, you know, having a barbecue or grill and some food or whatever, we'll like shoot a bunch of guns and have fun. Right. And then we're like, how could, and then classic Troy fashion, if, if you knew him is like, and me too, it was like, well, how can we make this horrible? And then it was like, okay, well, we'll do a competition by the way we're very safe we observe the universe for laws of gun safety you know um we're very paranoid about that but we're like we're gonna do shooting competition but you also observe the second amendment both

at the same time the right to bear arms and so troy lives on 28 acres out in the middle of nowhere in indiana 28 episode 28 28 acres woodrow wilson 28th president dude i mean this is america right here coins going down to 28 it's on sale buy more i'm sorry no it's cool and so he has his own gun range uh on his property which every american should have wait so not to cut you off yeah but like a gun range because if i own 28 acres the whole thing's a gun range well let me put it this way there's a dedicated section okay that's is there targets in the woods they're steel set up it's uh it kind of slopes down and slopes back up so you're kind of shooting into an embankment yep perfect yeah so it's a perfect spot for like a gun range and it's the closest neighbor is like really far away so it

doesn't bother people it's indiana and it's indiana so like it's fine um anyway we did a shooting competition and then he's like well how can we make that worse he's like well if you can like shoot well in a range that doesn't even count like in a real situation your heart rate's going to be 180 beats per minute you're going to be winded bad circumstances and now you have to perform oh man this is sounding more and more like crossfit it's basically actually we've thought about this is sounding more and more like CrossFit. It's basically, actually we've thought about, this is basically like CrossFit for the, for shooting competitions. Yeah.

And so we said, we did like five stages, something like that. And then every stage was some kind of like strong man or physical challenge, right? And then you head into, you go to the other stage, you're gonna stage, you pick it up, don't point at anybody. And then you do some kind of target practice. And there like close range fast stuff precision shots out there is there a

judge it's all time based okay and so it's your time for how long it takes you to complete the shooting part of the stage and then penalties added for missing or accuracy and then you add those up at the end all of that i didn't win i got somewhere in the middle okay but how many of you five of us okay five or six of us so you're like what kind of strongman events so when i think strongman i think like red farmers carry no no no well i mean redneck rednecks are strong men they are that's just a fact they can also shoot they can also shoot it's like they don't need to do any of the things you're doing because they're rednecks they've already achieved that so what i mean is when i think strongman i think of of like lifting stones, farmers, losses. The first one

was like seven sprints back and forth, probably 20 yards down, 20 yards back. Okay. Do that seven times in a row. Um, so your heart rate is up like a shuttle run, just shuttle run. Okay. Basically that was the first one. That was a really strong man, but did you shoot in between? No, you ran down and back. Now you're winded. Your heart rate's up. And then you have to go accurately shoot something. By the way, it's a big difference under stress.

Your ability just falls apart if you're not trained for that. I don't know if you know this. I'm a United States Marine. You know that of anybody. No, no, no. It does make a big difference. Civilians don't know that. They think they can shoot, and then they can't.

It's a big difference, yeah. But anyway, and then we did um i won't go over everything but we did things like uh carried he made like 140 some pound stone basically or found some stuff i got a concrete himself out of concrete okay yeah they make those cool moments we'd have to pick that up and like go down carry it back and then go do something did you get any of this on film yeah got a lot of it i'll show you why you didn't send me anything i'll show you something yeah and then uh tire pulls like from a rope you have to pull the tire and then farmers carry so it was like we he had two like just old farmers carry handles with just old plates on there not chinese plates not chinese plates by the way these are left out in the woods they're not even like mean, but you can leave eco plates out there and they'd last forever.

You're you're, you can't afford not to. I think, I think they were, give me his number. They were, yeah, seriously. They were, um, uh, 90 plus 90 plus like 140 pounds. Okay. Each hand, each hand. Yeah. It's a lot. Yeah. It's not nothing. Like that's a lot. Yeah. 80 pounds like that's no that's a lot 280 pounds i mean like that's yeah yeah you have to think about it a lot yeah yeah and so we are doing and then that's hard because your hands like feel like just claws at that point and then you have to go shoot something and we did uh pistol and rifle um and then one of them was just hey do 60 push-ups and then uh free hand rifle shots. Yeah.

And your arms are like shaking action or, uh, or like AR 15. Um, it was a mix. It was a mix, whatever you had. Yeah.

Anyway, all that to say, it was a very American weekend and all. And I'll also say that dude, farmer, redneck strength and shooting ability is real. Yeah. And,

um, that's all I'll say. Cause there's a couple of guys who are like deep rednecks and, uh is real yeah and um that's all i'll say because there's a couple guys who are like deep rednecks yeah and uh they're just like hey man oh pick up these farmers carries oh like this it just like walks like he's walking in the grocery store like carrying groceries and uh and then just like shoots everything he's like i don't even know if this is zeroed and they'll just like shoot it perfectly so that's real and then the other thing i was gonna say tie it back to strength go full full circle circle okay is i've been doing just like basic starting straight style strength co lifting right and that prepared me very well for just

random activity like that random hard activity i'm from the first time i picked up the stone i was like oh i may have pulled a hamstring but then I tried it again and I was like oh I'm good yeah so it's crazy how much that generalizes you guys use any like sticky stuff like they use in the sport okay have you ever used that tacky it's called no this is this is low tech no no it's pretty wild but no I know what you mean with like redneck strength and this really kind of applies to a lot of things whereas you know what can you not teach experience you have to get it over time and and yeah it's kind of amazing i mean that's like the great thing about the south is like you you hang out with anyone or indiana or the midwest right oh yeah i won't just give it to the south but like people where guns are prevalent and they do stuff that's why they don't freak out

when stuff happens that's why they don't like the laws because happens. That's why they don't like the laws. Cause we're like, I know how to use a gun. I've been using guns since I was 10. And then also like, you know, we talk about like the progression of strength training. Like you have to train like this is the best way to do it. You'll progress over time. And then you just see this, this redneck, which is an endearing term, a term of endearment for these guys. It's a compliment. It's a compliment. Right. And it's like all he's done i say all meaning yeah very difficult but no like real formal training just bailing hay cows away every night and troy had all these like you know those grippers those metal grippers

like the they're like two pieces of metal and you squeeze it and he's got like different um weights on it and this one of these guys he's not like an impressive physically impressive looking guy i mean i you don't want to hear this but he's already sounds like peak male performance he is peak male performance and uh we we go he was like all right his name is danny redneck danny yeah and we're like hey we just call him danny and uh we're like hey danny try these try these out. We just called him Danny. And we're like, hey, Danny, try these grippers. And then he tried a few. And we're like, all right, let's give him this one.

It's like a 250-pound gripper, which is like, that's real. That's heavy. He's like, oh, OK, man. Let me try this one like this. And he just like death grips it. He's like, I got it. And then he grabbed his dirty, hairy pistol. Yeah.

And shot a bullseye. Yeah yeah he shot a bullseye yeah shot a bullseye he's like that was pretty fun man yeah yeah i love it america god saved the south and the midwest and the southern midwest and the southern and whatever indiana is it's definitely the midwest and whatever ohio is not i don't know what ohio no one knows it's its own island yeah yeah but that was fun man that. Yeah. You celebrated the founding fathers. Well, I did. Oh, and then to top it all off. Wow.

Redneck Danny brought a leg and he just told us he was bringing a leg. A person. I don't. That's what we thought. There's like a 20% chance. It was shows up with a deer leg. Thank God. Okay.

And we did. So like hind quarter. Hi. You're talking. Okay. Yeah. Hind quarter. He said like, not that, not the tibia, like the whole, like hind quarter. If you're talking, okay. Okay. Yeah. Hind quarter.

He said like, not the, not the tibia, like the whole, like the whole haunch right there. He called it deer land. Um, and,

we did the whole like a Dutch oven in a fire pit with the coals and we left it out there for like six hours. Was it good? Honestly, it was honestly good. He put like, put like, um,

he seasoned it put some onions in there yeah threw it on there put some coals on top and on underneath it yeah and just let it sit there and we had backup like pork in case oh just in case just in case every good meal starts with the death of a pig oh yeah i think so and that was actually really good so question because i get asked this a lot i used to deer hunt all the time i still do i killed deer last year i don't i don't know i i prefer fishing these days yeah but did you think the deer tasted gamey and like what does gamey mean to you because i've never really understood when people like this is gamey so i. Okay. So my take on this is I actually don't know what gamey means. I'm like, this tastes like deer or venison, which I'm not saying is as good as beef. It's not,

I'll be honest. No, it's not a grass fed cow and a perfect habitat way better than shooting a deer while it's running. But I don't understand what gamey means. I've never understood it. People are like, I think it's just a word invented by the beef industry to sell more beef. Or by the vegans. Or by the vegans. No, I seriously have no, I couldn't point out this is gamey. I'm like, this just tastes like venison. Yeah.

Which I'm not saying is great. It's not bad. It's not bad, but like you definitely. You have to think about cooking venison it's like you can hand me a pound of ground beef right now i throw it in the skillet of course i'm gonna use salt pepper at a minimum some type of oil but it's great it's good you hand me venison i gotta think about like how to make this taste good yep but i don't know if i just cooked venison

i just i don't know what gaming needs he'll um troy will kill two deer on his property usually a year and then butcher it freeze it and then he eats mostly venison actually i think he spends like 30 a year on meat which is crazy and uh but he he definitely um mixes the ground venison with pork fat yep you should as easy one good processor does yeah you got to do that and then other stuff he'll make he'll he'll add a bunch of sauces to it or make make it into chili or yeah although the the steaks are good i think the cube steaks are good um i think for the ground venison the tenderloin the tenderloin is good the back straps good yeah i think for the ground venison um my thing usually and maybe i'm talking like a weightlifter here but as i like one beef tallow is your friend bacon grease is your friend but also a couple runny eggs really like the yolk will mask whatever this fake term gamey is uh but no like if you do like so i'll season it you know

salt and pepper or something i'll cook it in bacon fat and then like as it's getting finished i'll just crack two eggs on top this might be like a half pound of venison and then you don't let them cook all the way and you put it in it's kind of running in a in a mask whatever this gamey thing that everyone's worried about i'm gonna tell troy about that that's a good idea troy knows he knows um let's see joe biden's still trending i mean the memes are still going so so when the the day after the debate i think connor sent me like four joe biden memes okay and one trump meme because we want to make sure we're not like one political side or the other so there's plenty to make fun yeah we lean left yeah you know just so everyone knows that we're non-biased yeah after that conversation we're going gonna need to talk yeah um so i did the first one i was like

you know him lost we talked about it last week yeah it was like am i on but democrats think that's funny too oh no everyone thinks yeah yeah everyone thinks funny so i was like am i on set three or four or whatever we talked about last week and so then he had sent me another one that was the same thing it was actually what he sent me before, but it was like, is it three by five or five by three? And you know, it's July 4th weekend. I'm busy trying to enjoy myself.

I'm like, I gotta get something up on Instagram. So I go and I go and I just, I'm like, I'll just put this one. It's been a week. It'll be fine. Smoked.

People loved it. Like they, they just loved it. They couldn't help themselves. Do another one. Yeah, no, Joe Biden, Joe Biden forever. Four more years more years four more years that's what i'm saying

we this company cannot afford not to have four more years i got a business to run and if joe biden sells plates make this man president it's the economy stupid keep this man president see there we go non-biased political opinions we need the memes yeah we need the memes uh so thank you joe biden potential sponsor potential sponsor of the okay podcast we should get him on i gotta clean this poop up it's driving me insane all right let's do it episode 028 of the okay two eight of the okay uh trey you're gonna have to fix your mic and do that completely again we'll just we'll just you know what we'll fix it in post episode zero two eight of the okay okay okay guide ons

Okay, Guidance. Okay. Podcast Powered by the Strength Co. You know, they say that 80% of the population in America lives on the East Coast, but 50% of this podcast does not. And I just love it when we start a little bit later. It's my favorite. I'm like, you know what I want to do? We're all on time.

I want to go to bed at midnight. That's what I want to do. Because I'm from, you know what I want to do? I want to go to bed at midnight. That's what I want to do. Because I'm from the south. Here to support. Here to support. And to fend. Happy post-4th of July, guys. Great work.

Everyone got all 10 fingers? Yeah, got 10. Yeah. Great work, everyone. Hoping that you all got an email this week that said hey hope you had a great fourth and then needed a bunch of things from you so if you haven't experienced that i hope it happened or it happens soon it will yeah uh all right let's just get right into the tray lifting update.

Woo. I'm ready. Push. Next slide. First down. Short episode. And that's another Carolina first down. Tray lifting update brought to you by BW Tax.

BW Tax. If you can't lift, you know what you can do? Make sure you find the best tax consultant you can't lift you know what you can do make sure you find the best tax consultant you can have yeah exactly so basically we just lived through the moment like 2011 when the Gamecocks are running fourth and one

the ball's short they pull out the orange sticks it's clearly six inches short and they say turnover on downs and Spurrier's there with his visor throwing it screaming like look at the ball. Look at the orange stick. It's clearly short and he's going crazy and they're like turnover on downs and next play the play. Jadavian Clowney, Michigan, bowl game. Helmet flies off, and the announcer says, South Carolina deserved to have that ball, and they have that ball.

And that's how I feel about Trey's lifting update. Yeah, next slide. Next week. Yeah, next week. Iconic football moment. Yeah, it really was. Yeah, Trey sent me. I feel like both of you do

this every now and then. You'll just send me a clip of the kick six. And I love it so much. Auburn's going to win the football game. This one was set to music, though. It was pretty dramatic. I was getting goosebumps. It was good.

PJ, you know what the kick six is? Nope. So, Trey Jackson. Trey Jackson with the kick sixes? Nope. Oh. It's, so, Iron Bowl. Guys, it was the Alabama and Auburn. Wait, PJ. Okay, I was going to say, PJ, you know what the Iron Bowl is? No.

No. So, Alabama and Auburn play each other every year, and it's, like, the biggest sporting event in football in the state of Alabama. Okay, okay, maybe. It didn't save Alabama, for sure. It didn't save Alabama. the biggest sporting event in college football in the state of alabama okay okay save alabama for sure there's no professional teams like this is what everyone cares about right and uh this was what oh gosh what it was what 10 years ago 2014. yeah it was like 10 years okay 14. yeah that sounds good yeah and so uh alab And so Alabama is kind of driving down to their number one ranked team in the country.

Auburn's coming off a big win against Georgia. They won on the last second of that game. And so controversial play where Alabama throws an incomplete pass and they put one second back on the clock. And they're like, okay, all right, Alabama's got time for one more play. And they're going to try to kick a field goal to win it. And so it's like a 53-yarder. So pretty long field goal.

And so Auburn puts a guy back there to field it in case it comes up short. It comes up short. He catches it, runs it back for a touchdown. Game over. Auburn wins. They go to the SEC championship. They go win the SEC championship.

They go on to the national championship, lose to Florida state. Those crab legs are good at Florida state. So I hear the quarterback had gotten kicked out or something for stealing crab legs. Yeah. But the announcer goes, Oh my God, Auburn's going to win the football game. And it's like this call that's like, actually, it's actually an iconic call. You know, every sports fan wants it to be an iconic call. That was an actually pretty iconic call.

Rest in peace. And he died. You know why all the pine trees in Alabama lean towards Georgia? Because Georgia sucks. That's a good Bama joke right there. That's going to be what's it? Harvey

Updike joke about poisoning trees. And I was like, well, too soon, man. Oh, we're not ready for that. Well, as always, we're super prepared here. We have lots of things to talk about. And so we'll just get right into it. I will say real quick, we have to give the women's basketball update.

I was at lunch today. I just got back from California this morning. Yeah, I was on your list. And we're sitting there and ESPN's on the TV and it's like the sky versus someone else, but Caitlin Clark's face is all over it. And my buddy BW goes, oh, is Angel Reese playing Caitlin Clark? And I said, no, isn't she on the fever?

He's like, yeah, why is she all over the screen? And I was like, ah, that's all they have. That's all they got. So there you go. That's, that's all they have. That's all they got. So there you go. That's your women's basketball update. Next slide. All right. Pivoting back to college football, Grant,

you highlighted a very interesting press conference. Very interesting. Mike Gundy. Trey, did you see that? It was the one where he was talking about his player getting a DUI. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was pretty good. Pretty great. First of all,

Mike Gundy's honor just said that was great. No, Mike Gundy, natural treasure, first of all. Like, every time he gets on, the guy's gold. I'm going to guess PJ doesn't know what we're talking about. I read it. Okay. I read it. Oh, yeah, because he posted it in the thread. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the player gets, I'll give the Grant version,

and you guys clean it up. The player gets a DUI, and he's basically like, yeah, it was 0.1. That's like three to four beers, considering he's 240 pounds. We've all done that, right? Right. Something like that. He said, I've probably done that a thousand times in my life and I was just fine.

Man of the people. I love it. First of all, in Oklahoma, that's not two to three beers. That's like seven to eight beers. Oh, right. Because they're like one percent beers. Oh, dude, it was the worst. So, PJ, Oklahoma has some state laws where, what's it?

What is it? It's like 4% in most states, right? I think it's like a light years, like, yeah. Three and a half to four. Yeah, yeah, something like that. And I feel like Oklahoma, it's like half that. It's basically a Waterloo or a Spendrift. Yeah.

Yeah, Spendrift. Not saying any of us did this, but like we could all go get like a 20 pack and just crush it and then probably next episode well yeah pull my gun yeah you know what i mean yeah so it's like a thousand times it's like a high noon or like a truly or something like six seven percent this is like so the law in oklahoma is that the alcohol content for a beer can't be over something so yeah it's like way less so it's like all watered down beer yeah yeah should we should we look it up or should we look it up i mean my potential sponsor so yeah it's the opposite of wisconsin basically yeah pretty much okay yeah any establishment with a beer license can sell 3.2 percent they uh beer wow that's still low

though for very low for beer does wisconsin have heavy beer no they don't serve beer they just serve tequila yeah in wisconsin no i have no idea it's like the isn't it the most alcoholic state i know they have a uh they have the most bars per capita and they say drink wisconsinably i uh they also have the worst beer i think i've ever had lining kugel have you ever had that? Never had it. Sounds German. It sounds terrible. It's German for terrible. That's true. I'm not big on those

fruity tastes. Yeah. You're not a fruitcake. I ain't a fruitcake, dude. I'm not a fruitcake. Get him! What's that one? I haven't seen that one before spirit fingers gig'em aggies

Trey liked that one that was pretty good that was pretty good big aggie over there well I don't know what we just talked about but no we're talking about mike yeah oh yeah yeah another yeah well how many that was a probably like at least like a decade ago where he was like the i'm a man i'm 40. come after me yeah he just freaked out because somebody was like they had a freshman quarterback yeah and they were like criticizing a freshman quarterback and you know he was like don't don't get mad at the kid like he's 18 like come after me i'm a man

i'm 40 it's just like yell like this guy already he got like aggressive with it he's good the only one better than him was mike leach oh my god rest in peace dude just he would so he would go up for my cleats yeah moments followed by a tangent so he would have i feel like we just need to educate pj on all these yeah this is actually just an education pile i'm just here to learn so he like you would ask him a football question and he would give like the shortest answer. And then you would go off and they would ask him like, hey, which mascot would win out of all of college football? And he would like break it down or hey, what's your favorite Halloween candy? And you would give like a 10 minute explanation on all of these.

And then they would try to ask him football. I got to go. And then you just leave. A lot of people say he was like the brains behind the OK podcast. Actually, I have heard. That's where I've heard his name. Yeah. That's right.

Yeah. RIP. Anyway, so Oklahoma State, Gundy, and then, right? Oklahoma State? Yeah. Yep. Yeah. And then he was going to make the player go go to the the sec or not sec well is

everyone 12 now no big 12 yeah sure yeah it's confusing um he was like he's got to go to the media days and answer all the questions i don't know did that happen yet like did the player go yet to the media i don't think that was that big 12 media days yeah i don't know i don't know i heard a m wants to leave the sec you know because texas is here now we'll go to the big 10 or something is that true i don't i don't think so no you're on the road i feel like that's a rumor i think it's a rumor mill i feel like i've heard that for the last couple years okay that's a fake dirty rumor the aggies are here to stay i hope not where do you want not. Where do you want to go? Where do you want to be?

SEC, man. SEC. I like SEC. You hope they're here to stay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. They hate us because they ain't us. That's true. Mm-mm-mm. Ah. Push. Push. Okay.

Mm. Let's see. We got to. One, because I'm I'm like kind of sweating here in my house because it's very hot outside trade you want to talk about California weather oh dude so you're both

yeah me and Grant were both in California an hour and a half apart but could make close but far you know what I mean it was yeah so close Marine Corps do you know my uncle? He served in the NDA in 89. Nope, don't know him.

Same thing. That's how California works. He was a bulk fuel specialist. Living the dream. Last name Smith? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Corporal Smith.

Yeah, Corporal Smith. Yeah, great guy. Good dude. I'll get that with japanese yeah that's even worse the marine corps is only 180 000 people imagine japanese yeah exactly oh no man i always worry you go first yeah dude i always forget like how great just well it's perfect all year round it's perfect like it's like it's like this place is unreal and i i get there and they're like it's gonna be a hot one i'm like what do you mean he's like it's like 84 i was like what it's like 84 with a breeze and and i hate it i hate selling my dad but it literally is a dry heat with a breeze.

It's a dry heat. Everyone was like, it's hot. We're so sorry you came during this weather. I'm like, do you know what's happening in the foothills of the mountains of South Carolina? It's a lot worse than this. Yeah, it just feels amazing. It's 104 in Texas. Dry heat or not, that sucks.

But the stars are nice. They're big and bright. They're big and stars. Yeah, they're big and bright yeah so you were in san diego was that the first time you've been back since you left the core no dude we usually try to go like once a year okay my family loves san diego so we go down we stay like you know mission bay down there yeah so we stay like a mission place at mission bay and then we'll go hang out at coronado for a day and kind of hang out. It's like all your seal buddies,

right? Yeah, yeah. Just do missions. Did you work out with Chaco? No, with seals. Oh, like the seals. Animal. Dang. They're still my buddies. I will say it was kind of hot

this week in California. Grinch is soft. Yeah, probably, actually. We all are. I got burned. So I always say that the UV index in California, well, let me not blame everything in California like all Fox News does. The West Coast UV index, I will include arizona in california in arizona um it's like you get burned way easier and i don't know why that thanks biden yeah i think yeah thanks climate

change this is what happens when people catch trout and keep them okay this is why I am a conservationist because you're ruining my skin but no we had our baby shower for Diana and we had it in the Newport Harbor at Newport Newport Aquatic Center and we had tense up everywhere I got fried and like halfway through it I was like I need to put on sunblock so burnt and yeah I feel like like the uv index there is like way first of all how long did how long were you out there for um yeah like yeah they're from 17 hours but when i was in south carolina we have these things called hats that are they just call them hats we just call them hats. We just call them hats.

And I didn't wear one. That was the problem. Yeah. That was one. You also had your shirt off. That was the other problem. Oh, popping tops? Yeah.

Popping tops. I was setting up the pop-up tent. So I went in like my pink polo. Because it's like having a girl. Everything should be set up. Was it a basex? Set up the basex? Was the FSRsr there it was like he could have helped it was like four 303s and uh yeah i got sunburned uh i know exactly what this size uh no i don't tan i turn red this is white to red and then i peel

yep yeah there's no the only italian gene you got is just yeah yeah yeah not the skin yeah that's why i married a mexican there you go hoping the kids look italian hoping for that next generation there you go next generation i mean they're going to take a white guy with my last name and you mix it with a mexican you get an italian that's true that's white plus mexican equals that's where it comes from that's how that's how italy came to be thank you jeff i'm doing the math okay carry the team don't forget yeah that checks out yeah yeah my daughter bolognese i mean all day all day day. Can we just go ahead and put in the thumbnail right now the nothing episode?

Sure. Episode about nothing. The thumbnail is just going to be a blank white square. It's just sad because usually they're my favorite episodes but everybody else probably is tuned out by now. Well, people did like Jameson.

Yeah. A lot of lessons. Actually, you know, that's all. That's good. I saw your mom posted on YouTube. Yeah.

And Twitter. Yeah. That's where I saw it. It was Twitter. The whole thing. If you just posted this episode with like your face and a white background and nothing across the top, I'm in,

I feel like let's do it it would be so shocking that people would just click out of curiosity like dude what what is what is this can you take the cat turd yes that calhoun dropped during the first 10 minutes of calhoun just came in here he never has an accident comes right in between both of us right here takes a dump right here boom deliver we're trying to like do the pre-show and I'm like, I can't, I have to clean this up. Like I can't. Protest, yeah.

Yeah. Now he's here sleeping, but. Yeah. I do think, I do think the thumbnails need to be more clickbaity. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, I can't believe he said that. You know what I mean? Something like that.

Right. You know, it's hard because you have- That's like a woman that's a man. Yeah. Yeah. Something super controversial. Yeah. Biden's out in there. like that right you know it's it's hard because it's like a woman that's a man yeah yeah something super controversial yeah yeah yeah trump's on there somehow yeah so we could do that we could uh we could play around with styles there's like i i figured out the other day i think i've made 10 000 thumbnails whoa man yeah it's like dumb i I was like, I think I've made 10,000 thumbnails. Yeah. Which is insane.

And so, try just cracking up. That's a lot of thumbs. Well, I was counting the other day, and I was like, I think I've squatted between 300 and 350, 45,000 times. Yeah, it's basically the same thing. Wait, really? Probably. I didn't count, but that's a lot. Everything I do is like, oh, between 300 and 365.

That's fine. But anyway, there's like different styles or genres you can do, so we could definitely switch it up. I'm doing like the everyone's on there, and then you want to include everybody, and then it starts to get crowded, you know? And now if I try to switch it up, and one of you guys isn't on there one time, you can't be complaining

like, oh, I'm always going to complain. I usually complain when I'm on there one time you can't be complaining like oh i'm always gonna complain i usually complain when i'm on there yeah as connor says uh whenever i post something with connor on it on the strength go he get he'll immediately text me and go you know the internet hates me right and i'm like no it's it's cool you're with your baby like this is gonna do great terrible every time you show connor's face terrible story pose twitter whatever he had a viral reel uh not really he had one he was getting he was getting beat up in the gym the q a like is it my it was like something about being old or lifting or something like that oh yeah yeah yeah but don't tell him i won't tell him yeah don't tell him that don't tell him i mean

all we need to do for this episode is say put connor on the screen connor it'd be like a cat literally pooped in this episode there you go there you go cat poop actually just make the title cat poop that's a good one there we go all right people search that a lot yeah uh really wanted Trey's lift to lift it I'm so To finish up California weather is pretty good Yeah If you haven't experienced it Go check it out Very hot take

Couple 14th Marines guys here Sergeant Major of 14th Marines Sergeant Major Hibbard He's from New York, big New York sports fan He knows I'm a boston fan like we love to clash about it but we always make fun of how because 14th marines is stationed or headquartered or whatever you call it in texas how we're in texas we them boys and we love like we have group texts with jeff about how dfw sucks so and so whenever we go anywhere that's not texas

sorry trey this is gonna be a very anti-texas rant that's right it's like so he was in new jersey for the fourth of july he's like on the water between new jersey and new york the american flags like everything's awesome fireworks and he was like east coast sucks i hate all this history texas right and i just write back like texas forever brother and uh so like all all i was in california i would just i'd walk outside like oh wow i'm just like in downtown santa ana at in and out and this is the most beautiful weather i've ever seen i'll just take a picture and be like i'd rather be in te Texas. A little bit of truth to every joke, man. That's all I'm saying.

A little bit of truth. Take me to Texas. He didn't write it, so it's really not a good song. It doesn't count. He's a freaking poser. George Strait. Poser. Fake.

The king. Okay, queen. King of what? Yeah. He's a sucker. The queen of battle oh hey little artillery joke there good next slide jeff all right we kind of touched on music there so obviously a great segue uh i wanted let's talk about music while you're lifting. Like we can go around the horn here and like what, what makes a good lifting song and what's kind of been like a song that's your go-to recently, or do you listen to music?

Or are you a podcast while lifting kind of guy on a PJ? You want to take that one first? I feel like I've, I've tried every version of this. I've done music. I've done a podcast, Only the OK podcast, obviously. OK. Nice. Yeah. Come on.

My numbers have gone down. I've also just done nothing. Just your own thoughts. Raw dog it. That's like the most psychopathic version. Because I remember when I was in Miami, I had my home gym, my second bedroom in this high rise apartment. And sometimes I just, it'd be late at night. I don't want to blast a bunch of music.

All my AirPods aren't charged or whatever, or, oh, I want to videotape this. So I'm just, don't get me started about charging. Yeah. And I'm just in a quiet apartment, just like attempting a squat PR. And it's just the sound of my thoughts. And I don't know. I kind of like that. I've been only listening to whatever music is playing in Block Haven lately.

That's the worst. Yeah, it's always bad. The worst. If I'm going to do it, it's always some kind of rock or hip hop or something if I have to do it. Just something to get you hyped up. Like a regular song. Rock's a broad term.

Like think back in black Okay It's like classic rock Yeah I mean that's Classical You can't listen to that song And not get fired up

That's true Yeah Nice Trey What about you? Man so I If I do podcasts I can't

Lift and Like listen Actively In the rest You have to do that Yeah if I do podcasts, I can't lift in, like listen actively in the rest. Do you have to do that? Yeah. So I, so yeah, so I do, I do podcasts like during the rest and then I will do some sort of,

I usually, I don't know. I kind of mix it up as far as kind of what Jason Boland. I do like Jason. Yeah. A little bit of stragglers. Yeah. I'll do Jason Boland. Yeah. Jason yeah A little bit of stragglers yeah I'll do Jason Boland Yeah I'll do country

But like good country you know not George String Yeah yeah You know what I can't do is Like I'll go to like Like a gym somewhere And someone is just like cranking Like the heaviest of metals Like

Like screaming Yeah I did is just like cranking like the heaviest of metals like oh yeah i just like screaming screaming yes i did i don't know i get scared yeah i get a little bit nervous yeah a little bit oh now i can see you are trey just turned his light on for those just listening. Yeah. If you're, if you're just listening, head over to YouTube, subscribe. We're almost at 300 subscribers.

So I guess I, I didn't know that my mom could make a 275 plus Google accounts, but she has. So help her out. She's out of passwords that ended her birth year. Miss Brogy one, Miss Brogy 2. Head over to YouTube and subscribe to the channel.

Get us to 300. Jeff, what do you listen to? And then I'm going to... I have a little bit different of an analysis on this, and it's because I've spent a lot of time with a room of lifters where I'm not lifting and what fires people up. So I actually have some

thoughts on this but before I tell you what I do and that like what do you do Jeff I know it's just father John we don't know the answer DJ was talking about like for a long time I didn't listen to anything yeah like well okay so let me pause you when you and I trained together in the garage gym in Carlsbad, we followed a CrossFitter, and I don't remember who it was, but he said, if you need music to lift, you need to find a new hobby. Something like that. Something like that. I don't remember who it was.

It was Miko Salo. Yes, Miko. Yeah, he was like, if you need music, you need to find, I don't know. David Goggin said something similar like that. He has a Swedish accent. miko yeah he was like music you need to find i don't know david godman says something like swedish like accent and he's like yeah like god he's actually just ripping off the swedes oh yeah he's just repurposing yeah he also cries himself to sleep every night super sad james uh so what do you listen to these days jeff uh and then these days really ever since i got airpods and for a long time i was just whatever was playing at the gym.

Oh, thank God they came out with those in 2023. Yeah. As you know, I was an early adopter. Before headphones, life was tough. Really got on this headphones trend. It's a new thing. I'm sorry. But lately, so it's anything that's like, yes,

like Fleet Foxes is a great one. And I really like anything that's kind of like simple and mellow. Like if there's like kind of like too many things going on in it, I kind of get like distracted. Like I want, I don't need anything that's like in a high key. You're trying to like zen out. Like you're trying to like, yeah. What's up, bro?

Trying to zen out. Yeah, no? Yeah, no? Brother. Yeah. yeah so if i like put on a song and i'm like oh there's like a like a really like intricate beat or there's like a lot of stuff like going on in the background i'm like all right next song gotta find something a little more yeah a little more simple yeah yeah yeah for me i definitely uh my go-to is like old school country and i think it's because i know everything nothing's gonna like shock me i mean i know a lot of classic rock too but i don't like i'm not miko if you need music you suck like i definitely i was in my gym in california working out by myself and i was like this is so awesome that like i control the receiver and i have it on 100 decibels and it's just like jamie johnson screaming at me about that

morning sun like or whatever it is uh but i definitely i like to listen to country i will tell you i've recently switched finally early adopter to spotify from pandora because uh you know when you get married wow are you the last one on Pandora? Wow. I've been Pandora One since 2010. Oh, yeah. Since I've known you, you've been Pandora. I never went to Apple Music. Grant was floating that company. Yeah.

But I married my wife. Hold on. This just in. Pandora is bankrupt. Oh, no. Sorry. We're in silence for Pandora. Oh, geez.

Well, when you get married in your 30s like we did you know if you're 20 no one owns anything but you get married in your 30s you've done things for a long time but then it's like well you're paying for spot i mean we're all paying for everything together but it's like there's this subscription and there's this subscription there only needs to be one and as the man i sacrificed and i gave up Pandora, which actually has been tough. And I will talk about that in a second. But I will say my go-to is to go into Pandora. I've tried it on Spotify.

It's not as good, but it's learning. There's 14 years of data of Grant's thumbs ups and thumbs downs. But Spirit in the Sky, Norman Greenbaum, One Hit Wonder. You put that on, on Pandora, boom, you're set. All your lifters are happy.

Like, Oh, Oh, you play good. Like lifters at the, so 4th of July, we had a bunch of lifters at the gym. I just invited like, Hey,

if you've, you've been a member before, like coming in and lift had, I don't know, like 25, 30 people. And a lot of people are no longer members there actually most of people were not members because most of the the gym model there's Monday Wednesday Friday

you remember you go get coach Tuesday Thursday Saturday is like open gym and so a lot of people weren't members they came in and so I of course I threw on spirit in the sky and everyone's like, every time I hear the song, I think the Strength Co. And then it just rolls. Potential sponsor? Yeah, potential sponsor, Norman Greenbaum. Bomb?

Bam? Yeah, whatever it is. Greenbaum. By death. Greenbaum. Bam. No sponsors. You should put that on the intro.

Going up to the Spirit in the Sky. Spirit in the Sky. Spirit in the Sky. Spirit in the Sky sky I just put on what was this what's the AI song called lifting and drinking is all I know pop another cold

pop another zen pop another zen but it's AI so it's zine zine yeah that good one actually what would Huck Finn do again what would he do my strength plate from rain it's actually a great song have you listened to it that's the one yeah i listened to it that's pretty that's pretty catchy i don't know that we should classify it as ai we should probably just classify it as the song of the summer.

I heard George Strait singing it. Yeah, it's good. He didn't write it, though. He would. He didn't write it. Actually, our whole theory's flipped on edge. That's true. AI. Oh, now it's going to be, what if you wrote it but didn't sing it? You just had AI

make it. This is deep those dang what's after the millennials what's the next generation gen uh gen z i hate those guys zoomers we're zooming uh there's something to say about music uh that lifting and drinking is all you know yeah oh you talked about how like like putting on that playlist and like oh everyone was like oh happy with the music yeah remember that was always a big struggle because like when i was coaching crossfit i never knew i never knew what to play like what people would want was because i was like this is my like phase of i don't really listen to anything when i'm lifting or like working out so i was like i don't know what it like so i kind of like

let me put on what i like and they're not gonna know no one likes it no one likes the foxes joe you know i feel like you guys think eminem is probably the most popular workout music like if you had to go if you had to pick one i feel like it's so i feel like he took he got a chokehold on the gym definitely up there yeah he's up there so i think in my take is probably bad because the strength code gyms generally are like lifters 40 to 65 right right so it's not like necessarily young people so what i found is like don't play explicit rap because a lot of people don't play explicit rap because a lot of people don't like explicit rap don't play screaming death metal and don't play super country country now if

i'm coaching and i'm in a bad mood we're just listening to waylon jennings get over it because i'm coaching and you're lifting but like that 70s to 80s rock that genre that hits everyone likes yeah everyone likes um you play dire straits yeah but the problem dire straits i mean rock genre. That hits. Everyone likes. Everyone likes. You play Dire Straits? Yeah, but the problem, Dire Straits, especially Money for Nothing, the intro's like three minutes. It's like Magic Carpet Ride. This is gonna slam, but bro, you can't.

You need a radio edit. If you get a guy that's about to lift heavy, we just did this. July 4th, Eric was gonna deadlift 605. So I'm like, what do I put on? I'm like, welcome to lift heavy. We just did this July 4th. Eric was going to deadlift 605. So I'm like, what do I put on? Okay, Eric. I'm like, welcome to the jungle. Because it's like, you know where you are? You're in the jungle, baby. And it's like

immediately hits. It's like in the air tonight, Phil Collins takes three and a half minutes to get the do-do-do-do-do-do-do. They're already done with their lift. If you time up the dire straights, like right when the rest starts. You really sound like Lieutenant Colonel

should not be named right now. Honestly, I think I'm going to quit this podcast. You sound just like you're channeling him right now. Quit this podcast. He's about to dial in. You sound like him right now. Let me be clear. He's wrong it's it's true he is not wrong perfect dire straits money for nothing when it hits and there's a trebuchet

uh shooting on pulgas field 11th rains on saint babs day that was that was the peak songs about microwaves or refrigerators man gets you pretty amped up yeah makes me want to lift before time can you play dire straits money for nothing you're a musician do you know that one yeah i know i don't i've never tried to play it i should it's really nice to try to play it i see this pretty simple am tv it's good i'll learn it learn it i'll learn it live yeah we're doing it since this is this is the show about nothing right we're an hour ahead like it's so we're accomplishing nothing i was i was uh on youtube and i found this it's what they do is they get like professional drummers to come in

oh dude yeah have you seen this chef they get professional drummers to come in. Oh, dude. Yeah. Have you seen this, Jeff? They get professional drummers to come in and they play a track, which is one I don't believe. Drumeo. Have you watched that? I've watched all of them. Professional drummers. They're so good. I literally was a professional drummer for... Literally. Super Bowl guy over here. Literally. It's true, yeah.

The only thing I don't believe is that they're like... He doesn't believe you. They're like, I've never... No, he's told the story. Okay. He was up there with Madonna, right? Yeah, it was fake.

I'm just kidding. No, it was Janet Jackson during the wardrobe malfunction. Yeah, he's the one who did it. It wasn't Justin Timberlake. I snuck up there and did it. My bad.

Yeah. You were, you were anyway, drumming. Oh, drumming. Oh yeah. And so they have these professional drummers come in and then it's

a song they've never heard before and they have to like hey what drums would you play over this it's like they listen to it one time no drum track no drums in the track they just listen to the song with no drums in it and then they kind of they match up with the original and they see how see how it kind of matches up it's pretty interesting they'll get like the red hot chili peppers drummer to play some three doors down or something like that and they usually kill it but they're like then they listen to it afterwards they're like oh man that's not what i was thinking or i made that a lot harder than what i should have done it's kind of i also the only thing i don't they're like oh i've never heard of nirvana before i'm like okay yeah yeah yeah yeah right you get some machine who is this man what's your name some of it's believable though because there's one guy uh on there named uh not dave portnoy

but mike portnoy uh different one maybe the jewish brother and uh he's like a prog rock drummer and prog rock is like math nerds who like rock just for the context okay he had never heard of some i think it was like a nickelback song or something like that i'm not sure and that's actually believable because the prog rock guys they like scoff at like pop music it's it's like below them he's like never he doesn't think i'm gonna turn on the radio like No, absolutely not. So that's believable. I gotta say, the way PJ looked at me and said

the drummer plays and he doesn't know what song it was, is like when Jeff looks at me and says, so there's this guy named Frodo Baggins. I was like, oh, we're at a new level here. PJ's starting to speak. I'm in. PJ's starting to speak. I'm back.

I love how half the episodes is just us explaining stuff to Grant. Yeah. And college football to me. Yeah. And college football to you. That whole episode. It all works out. We're all learning.

Everyone's learning. Next slide. Okay. Well, let's see. T just uh gave a little preview of one of the topics but this happens to me probably every I don't know like year to like six months but I'll just like go on a binge of the like Dave portnoy pizza reviews yes and they're just so damn entertaining I I love them and then it just makes me want to eat pizza for the next year of my life and then like why don't i rate pizza also then i just you

know so yeah i tried that a few times i was like i'll just rate pizza and i was like i like i can't do this it's it's a skill it's an amazing thing and he i won't say lucked out but because i actually think we did during kobe was like super beneficial small businesses but yeah he's like he's just nailed that market and it's and i have gone so i've gone to a bunch whenever i go to the northeast i look up port north places and i go yeah and i just saw him post that thing the other day i'm gonna butcher the name and it's wrong but i've watched so many pizza reviews the ital'm gonna butcher the name and it's wrong but I've watched so many pizza reviews the Italians will forgive me I think it's Serentino's or whatever but it's like a kind of crummy part of Boston you like cross a bridge you're not you're not in

Charlestown I forget where you are but it's a bad area but I went to the pizza place I had it and it was great he rated it like an eight nine and it it great. And I probably had it like three years ago. And he just was doing a thing about it burned to the ground. And so they're trying to, they're raising money for it. And of course he raised like, I don't know, a million dollars, something crazy for it. And I was like, I've been there. And then I was like, I've only been there because I follow this channel. And like your effect on pizza is like pretty profound.

He saved a, a pretty famous restaurant in Indianapolis. Oh really? Yeah. I believe it. No, like it was part of the, he raised like a fund or something like that for small business. And there was like a story around Indianapolis. Like, like, I think it was might've been like the Ratzkeller I think it was called. And it's like, Oh yeah, they survived because of dave portnoy yeah literally dang that's what people say about the okay podcast they're like you know you don't understand the power you have and i said the only reason we have this power is there's one guy that leaves the lights on this one and the person that

leaves the lights on is bw tech the thing that i've always liked about BW tax LLC.com is that they are a smaller company and, and smaller companies care more in general. There's not a hierarchy of people that are telling you, um, you know, make more money, make more money from our clients. They, they want you to make money. That's why, that's why you use them because when you use them they're gonna give you the tools to get the most money back from the government that generally takes all of our stuff but it's their it's their mission it's their job to get as much

money back from the government and put it into the the pockets of hard-working Americans from the government and put it into the the pockets of hard-working americans we need to start remixing those just like commenting over them and recording that and then playing over oh yeah we could make like shorts where we just react to them and it's just us like, yeah, it's sort of like, so and so reacts to this song. I love how we all collectively make shorts. My favorite thing about this podcast. I do so much on social media.

Jeff's like, hey, I added this short for you. Trey's like, I just put this short together for you. It's fantastic. I love it. Dude, I'm just on Instagram 24-7 just making – just posting everywhere. Constantly, chronically online, as they say. All my followers. Do we have any slides, or can I just rant for a second?

You can go and rant. Okay. So Jeff sent me a package. Great rant. So I went – last time I fished with a guide, I went to Tennessee, Holston River. Bad day. You can see all the fish, and you actually have to cast far. I'm used to fast water structure

and being in the water. I mean, it was a good day. I caught fish, but it was more frustrating because when you can see the fish looking at you, it's way more upsetting. It was really hot. It was 95 degrees. Don't worry. The water temp was below 67. All the

conservationists, I did all the right things. Everything was um not a dry heat now is is it a bad day because your fishing skills aren't up to par like if you were better at casting okay yes yes no i guess no no it was a bad day because i had been going out on my own and catching fish and my expectation is like hey it's it's time for you to go fish this river and what i realize is i'm terrible at casting when she like you know he's great at being like ran i knew you're gonna suck at this but this is part of the thing listen most people call me they're tourists they just want to fish pick for instagram but not you you're here to learn and i'm like hell yeah brother and uh and so i appreciated the push but like it wasn't my most fun day fishing because yeah i realized like i'm like i don't really cast i like lob into fast water and so it was a frustrating day uh now you tripped me up whereas

oh this is where i was going with it. So I was wearing my straw hat. In South Carolina, we just call those hats. Because it was super sunny. And I was like, I'm going to be on a boat. I'm going to wear the hat. And I had a poncho long-sleeve shirt on. Right here.

Good. PJ's wearing the flannel version right now. Potential sponsor, Poncho Outdoors. Poncho. But I was spraying my hands. And I was still spraying my neck didn't get sunburned everything was okay but as we passed everyone one they were like we don't call them cowboy hats here in south carolina but all the fishermen that saw us in other boats were like oh you got a cowboy on board and so everyone like remembered me and

they're like and he doesn't know how to cast and it was bad and they all had like these little hoodies like buttoned up and then like a hat over top and i was like man i need one of these because i hate like i i'm a huge proponent of sunblock but i don't like wearing sunblock because you feel terrible so i'm like all right what do i do so i'm looking at different stuff i'm getting all these instagram ads and then i'm like all right what do i do so i'm looking at different stuff i'm getting all these instagram ads and then i'm like i gotta talk to jeff yeah you're wearing right you got one right there so so i messaged jeff i'm like hey i want this hoodie and uh so he sent it to me you know i was gone in california for a week and i come back have this big box i'm like why do i have this big box and

so jeff sent me the hoodie thing and then he also sent me like a tote bag which i actually want to hear exactly what that's for i'm a little confused about the tote bag i was like is this for baby shower gifts like i don't know but i immediately put on the hoodie and like put it on and i zipped it up i put my hat on i was like look at my new fishing shirt she's like what are you doing i was like i'm not even hot i'm not even hot like i feel so cool right now so i'm i'm pretty excited about that shirt it's really comfortable they're really nice spf 40. nice dude yeah but what's up with the tote dude it's great you can just like put all your fishing stuff in it it's just okay and just tell uh you can another good thing is like it's big enough to where like

you can literally stand if you want it to be yeah can literally stand in it. It's big, like if you want it to be. Yeah, you can stand in it, like take your boots off, then take your waders off so you're not like, kind of like getting out of a wetsuit after a nice sesh, after you've caught so many waves like we always used to do, just catching all the waves. Kooks only, locals go home. Yeah, get out of here.

So, I don't know. I think they're super handy no it's cool super cool really good just throwing a bunch of stuff in it probably helps is it all a baby too what brand is it 180 degrees south 180 degrees south pretty much patagonia yeah nice shirt do you have one of those totes tray it's like i do not 61 okay well i gotta fix that how many gallons is it jeff it's 61 liters okay how many gallons the metric system that's a big bag it's big but it gets small but it also gets big it's big it's big it defies yeah i was i was helping out a buddy somewhere and we were like there was like a high school kid who came up to me and i was wearing like patagonia hat patty on your shirt patty on your shorts strength underwear strength underwear wait on that not yet the kid's like dude you're you really like patagonia i'm like you know

yeah i don't think you understand i have to to put up there. I'm like, well, my buddy Jeff. I'm like, give him my phone number. Yeah. No, I was about to like buy a bunch of stuff. And I was like, Jeff would be upset if I didn't text him. So I'm like, just tell him about Devin Mayhew. And he's like, I sent the

shirt and a surprise. Ooh. 61 liter tote. I'm still trying to find those shorts. They came in, I surprise. Ooh. 61 liter tote. Alright. I'm still trying to find those shorts. Shorts are backward at the moment, I think. Cayman, right? We'll get them. C-A-Y-N-S. Sandy K.

A couple of things we got to cover. So everyone likes to comment that we can never see Jeff's shirt. We don't need to see Jeff's shirt. We know that he's always branded. If you're looking at me, I'm wearing Strenko. There you go. Mike Benner, calm down. TJ's got Strenko on.

it yeah it's up it's up and it will be there um but yeah all right what else we got on the slide deck that was pretty much it for the slide deck so Trey basically you had two kids and now you don't review SEC football oh we do need to hop back on that train don't we yeah we do quick knock out seven teams right yeah real quick trying to think we can do one you can't I mean you have to pull up their schedule that's pretty simple in the internet right in front i got a i got a website go ogle.com we already did auburn right go ogle do we haven't done auburn having an auburn let's just do auburn off the cuff yeah undefeated done. Done. I'll pull the schedule.

You'll get the schedule. I think Auburn... I haven't looked too much into their roster. To me, Auburn's the biggest dark horse. Classic Auburn. That's true. It's classic Auburn. I think they could be really good. Mainly because I'm a

Hugh Freeze, great guy Better coach He's a terrible human I think He's a really good football coach I think they're going to have a good offense Who's their quarterback this year? Same guy coming back

Thorne So you're two a little more yeah they they got a bunch of they got a really good recruiting class that they're bringing in and they're gonna have a lot of power uh so they're gonna be super talented and i think i let's take a look at their schedule man see how they kind of match up but i feel like they're gonna be really good all right hit it alabama a m win okay jeff wind oh yeah pj i know your big auburn sports guy win okay california cal yeah win win obviously you'll notice i'm only only going to object. If I object from Trey, New Mexico,

didn't lose to him last year. Can we talk about how common their schedule is in the first three games? Real quick. Anyway, continue Trey. Yeah, they lost to a New Mexico last year. So I think it was,

I think New Mexico say it's a revenge to win. Yeah. I think it's a win. Lose. a revenge tour. I think it's a win. Lose. Oh, wow. Here we go. Razorbacks. That's a win.

Arkansas. A few non-football types. Jeff? They're going to win. Auburn looks like... Are they at home for the first five weeks? Their first four games... Are they at home for the first five weeks? Their first four games? They're at home

one, two, three, four, the first five weeks. What a way to start a season. Especially against those teams. Game five, 3.2% beer. Where's it at? It's in Auburn, but Oklahoma is what I'm talking about.

I feel like i had i think i had auburn winning that one don't you have an excel sheet that you're tracking yeah yeah yeah stephen garcia is coming on in three weeks so we got to be able to like give them the data of what we think of the secs yeah all right so when jeff. Okay. I also think when. I actually think Auburn will be 5-0, top 10, and highly overrated. Sorry, Jeff. Yeah. No, no. I don't disagree.

That's what I think is happening. That's classed Auburn. And then they're going to go to Georgia. They're going to get smacked. They're going to get smoked. But everyone's going to go. They're 5-1. And Georgia's number one. Do you think they'd be? College game day is going to show up there. I think they'd be Georgia. It's going to go, they're 5-1. And Georgia's number one.

Do you think they beat Georgia? College game day is going to show up there. I think they beat Georgia. He thinks they beat Georgia. PJ with a hot take. I'm going sweet. So I think Auburn's going to be 5-1, fall from the top 10, be like number 13, and highly overrated.

So PJ has them losing to New Mexico but beating Georgia. Yeah. Okay. Everyone has them 5 to New Mexico, but beating Georgia. Yeah. Okay. Everyone has them 5-1. That's true. I have them 6-0. My guy. You'll notice a trend. So we go to Missouri. The other

Columbia. I take Missouri on that one. Pete or Jeff? Win. Auburn's not going to give up a single touchdown all year. I admire the commitment. You're like a Gamecock fan

almost. Although my brother didn't call me today, Home Depot brother. He just did orientation with his oldest son at Georgia and he posted a photo and he was wearing a Georgia polo and I was like, dude, I got to be honest with you. It was so weird for me seeing you in a Georgia polo. He I was like, dude, I gotta be honest with you. Like, it was so weird for me seeing it, you in a Georgia polo. He's like, I gotta be honest with you. Like once your baby's born and they go to college, like you're going to think about all

this differently. But I felt bad for wearing that polo. And then he, and he finished it and was like, I'll say the only polo I couldn't wear as an A&M one. And I was like, amen, brother. He actually said that Ty um and then i asked him to come on the podcast he's like why would i go on the podcast he's like yeah yeah that makes sense um but i think auburn beats missouri i think they're six and one with a loss to georgia okay so i got five and two okay kentucky Where's it at? It doesn't matter. They're going to win.

They'll win that one. At Kentucky? No, at Auburn. No, at Kentucky. No, it's at Kentucky. When? You got to say when. Yeah, you have to say when. When.

Yeah. Because the thumbnails now change from nothing to Auburn wins everything. Actually, the thumbnails, it was Auburn. More damn eagle. That's it. It's going to say, I'm just going to win the football game. All of them.

Okay. When? When? They beat Kentucky. Okay. Vanderbilt in Auburn. When? Can we just skip it

and say it's Auburn? No, they lose. It's on my sister's birthday. PJ over here with the hot takes. Jeez. Wait, this schedule is just getting tougher.

Louisiana Monroe at home. I got to win. Win. Win. What a great schedule. For all the marbles. A little harder stretch, huh? When's A&M coming to town?

Next game. Who you got? I'll go Auburn wins that. I think Auburn wins that. That's a fan right there. Obviously, Jeff's going to say win. Yeah, Auburn's going to win. Jeff just wants me to buy him dinner.

So I think A&M wins and not because I think A&M's going to be great this year, but that's what A&M does. They're just like, oh, we started out great. We lost the game. The season's off. Let's just beat this good team. I think A&M wins that.

A&M. All right. And then we got the Iron Bowl. Iron Bowl. My favorite. Iron Bowl. I got Alabama to win that one. Sorry, Jeff.

Hey, it's all right. Don't worry. I'm believing all the way through, baby. Undefeated. It's going to win. one. Sorry, Jeff. It's all right. Don't worry. I'm believing all the way through, baby. Undefeated. It's going to win. Undefeated season, but they won't go to the SEC championship. What's going to happen? They're going to beat the Tide?

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So, PJ's got two losses to Louisiana Monroe. He also said Vanderbilt in New Mexico. Yeah. Three losses. That would be the most heartbreaking season, honestly,

for the losses. In his defense, that is a very Auburn thing to do. Yeah. I have not looked at the schedule and okay, no offense to A&M and Alabama. I feel like you got to beat Georgia. If you beat Georgia and you get the steam rolling, this schedule, no offense,

Gamecocks have had soft schedules before. I've never been around for them, but I've heard when they were in the ACC. But this is pretty soft. Yeah. It's pretty favorable, especially that start is nice. No Tennessee. no Florida. No South Carolina. No South Carolina.

That's the big one. That's the biggest one. No LSU. No LSU. No New Mexico State. Yeah, just New Mexico. And they're going to lose. And they're going to lose.

I mean, I don't know. God, they might. I don't know what. Losing're going to lose. And they're going to lose. I mean, God, they might. I don't know what losing three games. Yeah. Three. Yeah. But you had them beating A&M.

Yeah. So I had to lose in three. And that's still really good season. Oh, I'll take that all day. Are you kidding me? All day. But I mean, they're going to want to feed it.

So like like what's let's say i'm wrong and you win you win one of those let's say you beat bama at the end of the year like you could be you could be in the playoffs oh yeah wait if you beat bama it doesn't matter you beat bama that's like that's a great season yeah every year south carolina it's like okay this is the year we got shane beamer, South Carolina, it's like, okay, this is the year we got Shane Beamer, got this new quarterback. It's like, yeah, we're going to beat Georgia. Like I'm thinking nine wins. It's like, okay, no loss again, loss again. And then the end of every year. Okay. If we beat Clemson, good year. If we beat Clemson, you know, I don't care what it could

be three and six, just beat Clemson. The worst. I can't believe I live in the state of Alabama. Wait, Jeff, so would you take five wins every year, but one of those wins is beating Alabama for the rest of your life? Oh, five? You got to say six so you can go to the Papa John's Bowl. Okay. To be fair.

No, I think that makes it Papa John's Bowl. Okay. To be fair. No, I think that makes it a more fair question. Okay. You make a mediocre bowl every year. Your sixth win is always beating Bama. Yes. Or do you go... You win a national championship once every 30 years. Your Bama win is your only loss.

Oh, that's a good one. Oh, deep cut. I think I go with the beating Alabama. That's a true fan. I'm pretty hyped about when Florida won that first national championship with Urban

Meyer. Only team they lost to that year was Auburn. Those stats are the best stats. That's way better than a national championship with Urban Meyer. Only team they lost to that year was Auburn. Those stats are the best stats. That's way better than a national championship. That's great. They won, but we beat them. Jordan Hennar was rocking that night. I would definitely take

bowl game and beating Clemson every year and give me 25 years of dominance with that because that's what we need to close the gap. That's how bad it is in South Carolina. So you give me the next 25 years of six wins and beating Clemson. I'm out.

I'm all in. And definitely mixed in there. Like a national championship. Like you're also probably ruining some of Clemson's seasons where they're like, all right, we're going to the last game. We win this. We're going like we'll get in the playoff oh we lost well I guess stating I guess now even though it's like any 12 team playoff like all right ever since A&M joined the SEC everything's

been weird yeah it's been so weird um yeah I think we're at that point. We talked about nothing. There's no YouTube clips to pull. Like, right? There's no. Me. I mean, it's whatever our imagination can hold. We probably forgot to click record. Yeah, we did.

Trey doesn't have a lifting update. The cats are asleep. They've stopped pooping. So usually at this point in the show, we have someone to kind of bring us in for a landing um we'd like them to remember our sponsors all of them because they all are our sponsors they keep the lights on the long list yeah and we also like them to tell people where to find us especially all the active social media accounts yeah we also like them and

they know them all yeah we also like them. And they know them all. Yeah. We also like them to remind people that we'll be in South Dakota next week for the Lift Hard, Live Easy Classic. And so, I mean, I guess we could all do it, but I feel like, Trey, you're the most qualified. He is. Definitely.

That's definitely. Most qualified is a strong, that's a strong way to put that but it's accurate you're the worst o4 i've ever met so you got this that's accurate all right what episode are we on right there zero two eight zero oh look at that black episode zero two eight of v okay oh there it is powered by the strength code are we still powered by the strength code yeah big time I just want to make sure they're still with us
