Niner. Let's say you say nine of the OK podcast powered by the strength. I'm your host, Grant Brogy. Today's date is September the 25th year of our Lord 2024. The price of Bitcoin is sixty two thousand eight hundred and fifty eight dollars. We'll get the block height here in a September the 25th, year of our Lord, 2024. The price of Bitcoin is $62,858. We'll get to the block height here in a second and shout out our good friend, Zach Copley in Northern California. We're broadcasting live or recording live, broadcasted later from the upstate of South Carolina.

I'm here in studio with PJ, married man. How's married life? It's good, man. Knock it out of the park. Nailed it. Still married. Nailed the wedding. Haven't gotten divorced yet, so that's great.

Still married, yeah. It's mostly nice, though, because it's a bull market, as you can see, with Bitcoin. Oh, yeah. We're in a bull market. All I know is I was gone for like three weeks, and Bitcoin stayed the same. No, it definitely went up, didn't it? No, I left it. It was like 61.8.

I think it went up and then it came back down. I think maybe it went down while you were gone. Oh, and then it came up. So it feels like it was up, but to you. So it's kind of like a galloping bull. Yeah, yeah. It's going down. It was sad while you were away.

It missed you. That's what it was. Yeah, that's what it was. But yeah, I hadn't really read much about Bitcoin lately. Well, the main thing you need to read about Bitcoin is- Is that Trump doesn't know what it is? He loves it. He doesn't know what it is, but he loves it.

That's why Barron exists. He thinks it's fantastic. Yeah, my son loves it. He's really smart. All my sons are smart. Dude, he's so tall. I mean, that's half the battle. It is.

I mean, the main thing, though, is that Jerome Powell, the chair of the federal reserve, my buddy, he's cranking down interest rates. He's pulling the brakes or actually no, it'd be more like stomping the gas in that analogy. He's hitting the throttle. And so it's the yellow light. And instead of slowing down, he's like, nah, I'm just going to bust through this light. It's a pink light. And so they lower the interest rates. Money's coming back. China just did it bust through this light. It's a pink light. It's a pink light. And so they lower the interest rates. Money's coming back. China just did it too. So I think it's game on, man.

Okay. I saw Big Pompliano was on like a bunch of news places this morning. Yeah. Like whenever there's optimism for Bitcoin, he's on the news. He just shows up. It's sort of like Beetlejuice. He said it three times. Here I am.

He disappears. He was in this like burger joint in new york city where some crypto company couldn't tell you okay i was distracted probably more interested in the bitcoin well there's a lot i was interested in and so some bitcoin company that like is offering like payments you could like buy your burger with bitcoin basically right and stuff like that and they got trump to come to this event in this like little burger joint it kind kind of looks like Jack Brown's like, it's like a nice little joint. And he walks in, he like buys a burger. He's like, it's a crypto burger. And then all the guys were like, no, it's a Bitcoin burger. He's like, that's what I said. A crypto burger. Okay. Whatever. And it's

funny just because a pomp is sitting right behind him, behind Trump, behind Trump, like against the wall. Right. Just like sitting there. And then there was a picture circulating online and everybody was like, Palm looking like he's in the secret service, not knowing what he's doing. And, uh, and then, uh, the only comment I talked to Palm briefly about, dude, how was, how was that? Right. You see him walking in. He's like, dude, I don't know. The event went fine, but all I'll say is this, that was the first time I've ever seen Trump like in person. He's like, dude, I don't know. The event went fine. But all I'll say is this. That was the first time I've ever seen Trump in person. He's like, I don't care what you say about him.

That dude has swag off the charts. Oh, yeah. Big dude. He walked in. It's like immediately, he's just the entertainer everyone loves. And I was like, dude, there's some. The kids say aura now. Like you have an aura.

Aura. Like an aura. Oh, aura. I don't know. How do you pronounce it? What's the South Carolina? Well whatever well i don't know what are the kids saying how are they pronouncing i actually have no i just read it on twitter the marines taught me something this up and then i'll get back to the crypto burger uh well we try not to use profanity on here but type shrt oh okay have you heard that one it It's like, Oh, that's that. That's that crypto type.

Yeah. Oh, whatever type shit. Oh really? Yeah. And I'm like, well, like typing like, like a typewriter. Like, what are you typing? Like, I don't, I don't understand it. They're like, no, sir. Just say it. And I'm like, okay. The other Gen Z word now is a demure. Have you seen that? Was that like aura, but demure? Yeah, basically. It's like, I'm not really too far into this world. It's like Gen Z girl TikTok will say like, oh, like we don't do that. Like that's not demure. Like to dress like that or to say those things. So you don't want to be demure.

You know, you do want to be demure. Like it means like. What's the pronunciation? I think it's demure. Demure. D-E-M-U-R-E. I think it's demure. Demure.

D-E-M-U-R-E. Is this like the same TikTok girls that are doing, whatchamacallit, the sorority TikToks? Oh, probably, dude. Yeah, probably. Demure. Demure, yeah. I think it means like proper and like sophisticated. Okay. So like bougie.

A little bit like bougie. Okay. Yeah. Demure. Yeah. Demure. Now you know. That's not dem not demure it's not like if someone's acting up crypto burger though i guess a bitcoin burger has a cool ring to it but crypto burger is like cheeseburger yeah same initial cb so it's kind of better it is better yeah it's kind of better i don't know how it tastes but we'll see speaking of uh bad burgers so yesterday and we had to talk a little bit about the weather because that was wild.

But yesterday, because all the guys wanted to record a different night of the podcast except me, I told D, I was like, let's ride up into the hills. Oh, you rode up last night? Yeah, there's a place we like to eat. But not last night. We left at like 3 p.m., 3.30. Okay. Rode up like one hour to Brevard. Okay.

And I fished for like 30 minutes because i was like hey i like would love like cast i didn't know that was even possible yeah i was like i'd love to fish for five hours like i want you to come we can hang out as we drive up in the truck like i'll just fish for a minute so i literally just like fish for a minute uh i did not catch anything but it's still like fun to go and then went to a place to eat so go there to eat and we've been there one time before and she likes this like limeade they have on tap okay and uh and they have their burgers so we go up and it's like raining so it's a food truck and so we're standing underneath like a little you know pop-up tent and i look and i see one of the burgers and it has ghost cheese jalapenos oh boy and i'm like'm like, Oh my jam. Yeah. So I'm like, and you're going to know

soon as the name of the burger, but I'm like, I want the spicy garden burger. And the guy's like done. I'm like, but I want two patties. He's like, no problem. And then Diana gets these like corn dog bites and we get French fries and I haven't eaten all day. So I'm pretty hungry. You know, it's like six 30 by the time we get our food we go to get it with a and and i pull it out and i'm like man i unwrap i'm like this thing looks great and i go to bite it and i'm like something's wrong and there were veggie patties oh and uh and so i'm like oh no and it was like a place where it was like the burger was like 12 and the second patty was like an additional six right it was kind of like ridiculous robbery so i went up and i was like i12 and the second patty was like an additional six. Right. It was kind of like ridiculous robbery.

So I went up and I was like, I've made a terrible mistake. And, and the guy's like, what's up? And I was like, I I'm looking at the menu. It's my fault.

I saw like ghost pepper cheese and jalapenos. He goes, I thought there's no way this dude in the Marine hat wants a veggie burger. Right. And I was like, or two patties of them. Yeah. And he's wants a veggie burger. Right. And I was like, or two patties of them. Yeah. And he's like,

I got you, bro. And I was like, I'm happy to pay. It was my mistake. He's like, it's all, that was cool.

He's like, he goes, I wouldn't eat that. And I was like, yeah, like I'm not going to eat it. I was like, I feel bad.

I'm just going to throw it away. He's like, no, I wouldn't eat that. He's like, it's like fake. And I was like, okay.

So then I had the other burger, but then I ate all these fries while I was waiting on the burger. Cause I'm so hungry. So then I like only ate the patties, but anyway. Oh, there you go, dude. I think that in like 10 years time that all of the fake meat is going to be seen as like a health crisis. Like it's going to, it's something's going to go wrong with that.

I just don't think we've seen it yet. It just feels like you're, you're pushing Mother Nature's knobs too much. You know, you're just tweaking it. You're getting too far. Yeah, I mean, we do that with gender too. But yeah. No, but is a veggie burger as bad as a Beyond Burger? Because I don't think...

We should specify. No, no. I don't think you should take vegetables and compress. I don't think you should take any food and imitate it to be another food. I think that... Like, that's generally when there's an answer. Hey, on the keto diet here's a keto candy bar right now i'm gonna learn keto unless it's a candy apple i like candy yeah but definitely not in keto candy apple not even close but i think if i that veggie burger is not great for you but not terrible

it's not chemicals yeah it's just a lot of like hydrogenated fats and soybean oil. Seed oil. To hold it together. I think it's that. But I think the Beyond Burger, that scares me. Or the Impossible Burger.

I think those, aren't those like the same idea? I just never understood the Impossible name. Is it like, this would be impossible to make?

Is it impossible? It's clearly possible. It's probably not intelligent. Yeah. Impossible to digest. Maybe. Anyway, burgers, crypto burgers, Bitcoin burgers, veggie burgers, beyond burgers. Yeah.

That's the burger update. Protein. Protein. Got to have it. Been gaining weight again, which is good. Nice. I was like 180 when I got back from my honeymoon. Okay.

I'm about 187. Okay. Right now. Wow. Yeah. I'm about 187. Okay. Right now. Wow. Yeah. Putting on the LB. So what are you doing? Working, eating.

Like, are you like intentionally trying to like super? Yeah. Or were you just like, Hey, I got to fit in my suit. I'm going to eat like, cause there's kind of two different ways to gain weight. So for, for me, if I go back to baseline, I'm skinny. What? Like, if I don't think, if I don't think about food, I'll be one 75. Okay. If I, if I like have no thought into what I eat and I just eat like

based on vibes, one 75, I'm one 75. That's kind of demure. It is demure. Um, but yeah, I have to like, try to like, I sit down, I eat, this is really good. I'm about to finish. I'm like, I need another plate. Okay. Like I just forced myself to eat another plate later on. I'm like, I haven't done anything in a while. Like I'm going to drink a glass of whole milk. Okay.

Yeah. So that's what you've been doing. Yeah. I've been thinking about it. I've been actually thinking about it, which is not, not very like I'm doing. So it's not, not thinking about not gaining weight. Whoa. That was a lot of knots.

Yeah. So you could, so sometimes people like if I'm thinking about not gaining weight, I'll lose weight and I'll maintain. Okay. But then if I stop thinking about not gaining weight, I'll gain. But then I have another mode where I can think, Hey, I want to gain weight. Oh, see what I'm saying? I've really only

experienced so to me it's just is there effort involved in your diet or is there no effort involved okay for me i only have i've never experienced the try to lose weight i've never done that in my life yeah but if if effort's required it's because i'm trying to gain weight trying to gain okay so the effort's being put in it's being put in uh been lifting consistently um eating a lot started taking creatine just for fun nice um so it's all water weight then oh it's like fake it's not even real game real you just didn't gain any weight it's just seven pounds of water dude just water weight i'm just puffy um the storm dude that was a my kate was freaking out yeah well so we eat the beyond no what kind no we never stopped but we leave uh brevard we're coming down you know you go through like crab creek jeter farms area and my truck has a very illegal tent don't tell the south

carolina police um shout out jr put 10 on looks great but like at night very dark and then if you're in an area with like no street lights and stuff very very dark so we're going down the mountain roads which are like 30 anyway you know we're listening to country music it's good and i'm kind of like man i can't see great and this fog's like rolling in and as the sun's setting then it's dark um and then it's like drizzling but just enough to like use the windshield wipers and it's like man it's pretty dark out here and then we get out by like flat rock and then we hit the 25 and right as we hit it it is just like buckets like just dumping buckets and i'm by far a high uh an hour well at this point probably 45 minutes

yeah it's like about an hour and 15 to brevard okay so like we've been driving like 30 minutes we got through like the super windy like we're on the we're on a four lane highway now yeah uh but not an interstate and i'm talking it's like my 97 che, it's turned all the way up. They're like, and it's like, are low beams better or high beams better? And it's like, well, if a car's coming at me, high beams are better because like the way it reflects. But if there's no car, low beams are better, but I can only see five feet ahead of me. And then I'm like looking at my rear view and everyone, like I have my hazards on, everyone has their hazards on. And I kind of want to pull over, but i can't actually see what's over there and then like if i pull over

i'm more worried i'm gonna get hit then yeah it's like if i just go 10 like people can like see me moving whereas if i'm on the side and so it was probably 15 minutes of that maybe 20 which feels like that's a long time especially when you're going 10 to 15 miles an hour that's a long time and then it finally lets up and and then we like and then we go through like barea and all those towns big upstate geography guy you get a lot of names right now but then we hit downtown and like all the traffic lights are out there's huge tree limbs in the road yeah um like there's the the lights on the power lines or on the you know lines the traffic lights are like to the side yeah um it's a bunch of they're all everything's a four-way stop you're in south carolina where people don't know how to

drive nope so it's like chaos get all the way through i drop df at the front door i go to park the truck like there's a construction site down by the bottom of my house every orange cones like flipped over and everything's washed out i'm like this is nuts and i'm like is this the hurricane because you know we got helena headed towards us tomorrow thursday and then i get in the news i'm like nope this is just a this is just a storm this is just a storm in south carolina and then this morning i went up went to the gym like 7 30 and you know when you pull into um so you're on uh what is that easily road you're on the 25 and you make a left to go up into judson mills like into the complex and then you come up to a stop sign and there's like a little road that goes to the right there's a road straight then you make a left into

the warehouse complex yep so that road dead ahead there's a gigantic tree just fallen on the house oh and you can't even go through on the house on the house and like like i'm talking gigantic tree you can't go and i can see like flashing lights on the other side and i can hear chainsaws this is like eight in the morning and then like georgio's tree fell on top of carolina hill house yeah it's still there yeah i mean it's not like terrible but it's like a probably 30 foot limb and i was just like man we went to a lot of uh we went through a decent amount of uh storms last year and i didn't see anything like this no that was a damaging storm i mean luckily our power didn't go out and flickered a couple times yeah but like my office went out okay oh

wow we were close then yeah i mean that's a deck of backup grid or something like that yeah well it's my uh helium that i'm trading oh yeah yeah yeah it's the people's network have to keep it on for the people's network yeah yeah quite the storm so now we got helena coming in tomorrow um i was just talking to tanner from asinomics those guys are coming to the carolinas mostly north carolina i think they're in Columbia Saturday and they're like, Hey, we want to come by. And I was like, that'd be great. Um, but I was like, man, you're going to have a tough time transiting these States. Yeah. Just because it's gonna, I mean, I think we're supposed to get 12 inches of rain tomorrow to Saturday. Are you serious? So it's going to slam like the West side of Florida.

And it is turning. Like if you looked yesterday, it was going to like make a beeline for Greenville and be a tropical storm. I didn't even know a hurricane was coming. I'm so out of the loop. You're so into the Bitcoin loop. Yeah. Yeah. Block height is eight, six,

two, eight, eight, one. That's why you stay. That's why you stay prepared with your supplies. So you don't have to get ready. That's why you have guns.

That's why you have ammo, cats, uh, your own children, uh, cars. You need both electric and gasoline. I never know what the future is going to give you. Yeah. Uh, you need children, cars. You need both electric and gasoline. You never know what the future is going to give you.

You need all that stuff. Here's the big thing that a lot of people don't have, water. It's crazy. You talk to people, do you have like three days of water you could live off of? Do I? No, I'm just saying like you ask people that, like a surprising number of people don't. I don't like keep a ton, that like a surprising number of people don't. Yeah.

I don't like keep a ton, but like I just keep some water. Yeah. A couple gallons. Yeah. A couple gallons. And then, you know, you just never know. Five gallon jug. But it's like, hey, this is kind of like number one. Is there water?

Yeah. Waters. And then, you know, growing up in South Carolina, as soon as the storm hits or hurricane hits, grocery stores are a crapshoot. Everything's closed. Everything's closed. Or it's like you have to fight a mob. That's why you live on a well.

That's the way to do it. The well's nice. Yeah. I'm glad you're all right, man. I didn't know you got caught in that. That's nuts. I mean, it wasn't like that bad. I mean.

But it was. But like for driving in a storm. Yeah. I mean, I think the only time I've been driving in a storm worse was probably two convoys, one in Twentynet Palms, one in Afghanistan. That was a sandstorm. Oh, a sandstorm?

I have no idea where I am. I've never experienced that. I don't know what left is. I don't know what right is. I don't know what up is. You just can't see anything. You just have to stop everything. You can't see a single thing,

at least with the rain. With low beams, you could see six feet ahead of you yeah right and that's about it but you can see and like i can see white lines if i had been on the mountain road i would have stopped yeah i'd be like all right park it whatever uh i've never been in a like terrible blizzard and then but one time in wisconsin i was in a similar rainstorm and i was just like wow and the weird thing about that was it was the middle of the day and all of a sudden this like black cover came over yeah and it was like why is it nighttime yeah and then I realized like well this is Canada oh yeah it was Wisconsin but basically

same thing I'm like this is what happens in Canada this is why I live in America I mean I've been in snowstorms where like a 30 minute drive turns into like a two-hour drive yeah because like you like again you can't see anything and then it's like i was on the highway and everyone's just just swore like fish tailing it's like your ice black ice black and everyone's going 10 miles an hour and still sliding everybody it was it the the lanes didn't exist anymore this This was, imagine a crowd of people walking down a sidewalk like that structure. It's, but the highway, it was just, the cars were just like, I don't know, man, just like figure it out and be cool. Cause you couldn't stay in the lane. And that's why it's almost been worse to stop. You're just going to get hit.

Dude. That's actually surprisingly dangerous. I see. Yeah think stopping so i mean it's like well it's like dad says when you're driving if you see a deer speed up like everyone slams on the brake to miss the deer and they crash your car and the deer lives um yeah man eat that deer eat that deer yeah you avoid a wreck or at least get lunch yeah all right should we get these guys on here let's do it all right raise your cowboy welcome back to episode zero three niner marine corps numbers niner of the okay okay okay guidons Okay!

before we go down these slide decks and i'm sure we'll talk about my at a little bit longer but our ats and in support of Joint Special Operations Command. And so it's like a lot of money, a lot of like dev gurus there, you know, a lot of SEAL teams, Green Berets are there, the Green Mountain Boys, which, by the way, like coolest call sign. Where the Green Mountain Boys are? Just a bunch of guys. The Cavs there. We got, you know, the 53s. we got the f-35s we got the f-18s everyone so we have the mass in brief and so you have like just dollars on top of dollars

on top of tax dollars yes just like sitting in the room and like if you're a surface to surface guy that like wears his uniform and doesn't have a beard you walk in and everyone looks at you like who are the who are the marines uh what do you think you guys admin yeah yeah exactly so anyway we go we go in there and like the lieutenant colonel to open the exercise like goes up front and it's it's it's not an auditorium it's a hangar with probably 200 chairs. Every seat's taken and 75 people, you know, like lining out the back. You know, there's just all you smell is dip, spit, zen and monster energy drinks.

And the operators are like super operator, right? Like just like every hat, like their pants, like they have so many pockets. I was like, I wanted to hire them to be movers for me. Like, hey, can you guys just come all over and i'll just load your cargo pockets anyway the room's just like filled with that lieutenant colonel goes up marine type jtech type and he's like all right yeah put up the first slide well they do a roll call and then they're you know green mountain board here you know these people here and he's all right put the slides up and it's two like 18 inch tvs behind

him and you can see nothing it's the agenda and he's like he's like hey i know some of y'all probably can't see that in the back i'm like in the back like i couldn't see it on the front row with binos um and then like every marine corps element to the brief was like the same thing like oh we were going to do weather next, but the slides weren't updated. And I'm like, how is this real? And it's definitely real. And then like the third guy gets up there and he's like, Hey, you know, I'm Don, he's a civilian. He's like, I work with base logistics. Let me tell you guys, we're in the state of New York and in New York, they care about trash. MRE heaters better be separated. Now, when you're in the jock, which I called the JCOC because they spelled it out in the slides, J-C-O-C.

But it's supposed to be J-O-C, but I just said JCOC to everyone. That's a story for later. But anyway, so he's like, if you're in the JCOC, there's no spitters. You're not allowed to have spitters. If you want to dip, you go outside. And I'm just like, are we really about like adult professional military personnel like managing their trash he's like now look i know you don't think you're gonna sit here and talk about trash but i had to cover the trash and he goes over some stuff he's like that's the last you hear

about trash next guy gets up trash every single person briefed the trash i left the in brief and i went and looked at my battery and I was like, Hey guys, I think you actually have to take the MRE heaters out of the MRE trash. The main effort is sorting the trash. We are going to separate those MRE heaters. All right. Yeah.

We're so ready for war. The opening guy, when he got to like supporting elements, he's like, I just want to make it very clear. It's all about the it's all about the teams it's all about the jtech teams and it's all about them hitting their medals it's all about the teams and so we were all like joking like it's all about the teams all about the teams then we came out of the brief i was like actually it's all about the trash it's all about the trash update that slide all right did you uh

do you get DevGroot? Is Strength Code the official sponsor of DevGroot? Yeah. They definitely saw some stuff. I, you know, if you're an officer, you do less cool things. You, like, go into the Jaycock in the morning, and you're like, hey, guys, you should use artillery. And then they're like, oh, hell yeah, brother. I'm like, hey, I got some 6.1s.

then they're like oh hell yeah brother yeah i'm like hey i got some six ones and so then like your lance corporal six ones get to go like on a raid with seal team four and like i'm in the pause like man i hope we're hot with range control right now uh but no they did get to integrate we did some british sas stuff did a lot of uh jtech stuff um i think we had like 12 to 14 marines i mean i was putting motor t guys out with the teams like anytime a team was like hey we'll take a couple guys about that uh was sifting guys through uh talked the 53s into coming to picking us up and doing a little bus ride like made a little tactical scenario with it which was cool um and the mortars were there with the 10th ranger regiment or 75th ranger regiment both were there i can't remember what yeah 75th and uh so we sent some guys over there you know dropping 120s and stuff so yeah it was it was cool um it was different it was like a

almost like a tacp shoot like there wasn't i'm used to like boom shoot okay everyone's comfortable CSMO march order next spot set up and this was like like we didn't move um yeah yeah but you couldn't because the army had to handle all your ammo due to base restrictions in the state of New York picking up all your trash yeah yeah we weren't picking up that's good that you got to focus on the trash they were focused on the ammo you you were focused on the trash. Some people say good training. I say good trash. Good trash.

Dev crew powered by the strength care. I like it. Here we go. That's what they say. Love that. Love that. Anyway. Next slide. Yeah, sounds like a very successful AT.

I mean, there's a lot that's in here. Do we want to dive into college football? There's a lot of college football we can talk about. Okay, I'm going to take us on an appropriate segue. Okay, go for it. Because I thought about Trey a ton. Trey said during week one, whatever podcast that was when we recapped week one that aired during week three, you said Auburn won, what was it, 63-3?

Is that what Auburn's first game? Oh, like 70s. Oh, yeah. 73-3, whatever it was. And Trey said on the podcast, man, and you're like, I don't know the receiver core, this, that. And he goes, man, 73 points, that's tough to do against tall grass. Yeah, I remember that.

And I thought it was funny because i'm like god that's such a texas comment yeah yeah but then like you guys were going back and forth i didn't touch it and then we get to our pause and the grass was like six feet tall like i'm not kidding and full of ruts and like tall grass kicked our ass yeah. You ain't scored 73 points on that. At night, it's like you're like short little section chiefs. Like you can't see their heads. Like it was like unbelievable how high the grass was for the terrain. And all I thought about, like every time I'd see like a Marine fall,

he's like carrying an artillery shell or another truck gets stuck. I'm like, hey, man, that's tough to do against tall grass right there. That tall grass will come out and get you. That's all China's got to do. Just stop cutting the grass. It won't be used. It won't defeat us. They just drop grass seed from planes over the area.

Tall grass. It's a miracle grow. Oh, no. That's the same way to college football. I mean. Tweet. Are we talking about Auburn? Should we address Auburn then?

Let's address Auburn, man. Yeah. I just missed my season prediction by a little bit. Just by one win. I think they're going to win out here on. Oh, yeah. So, I'll just fall off by one. I think they're a top five offense as far as

yards per game. Yeah. If they could not turn the ball over, they'd be, I think, a really good team. Who was their last game against? Was it Arkansas? Arkansas.

Yeah. Just like, yeah, quick turn of the... I think you had, what, Five turnovers? Six turnovers? Yeah, it was bad. It was bad. Yeah, it was. It was terrible. And then my favorite was Hugh Freeze blaming everybody else.

Yeah. Yeah. For the loss. He's like, well, if we had a quarterback, we'd probably win. I like those tactics. Those are Steve Spurger tactics right there. Just blame everybody else. Just blame everybody else. I mean, we can't tackle. How'd probably win. I like those tactics. Those are Steve Spurger tactics right there. Just blame everybody else. I mean, we can't tackle. How could we win?

Oh, gosh. Yeah. It's going to get rough. So you're 2-1? 2-2. With OU coming to town this weekend. Lost to Arkansas. Okay.

And OU's coming this weekend. Lost to Arkansas. Okay. And OU's coming this weekend, right? Yeah. And you won against Tallgrass and against... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did defeat Tallgrass. So, you got questions on how to defeat Tallgrass, call Auburn. It's over their sense. That's because the eagle just soars right over it.

Right over it. Or eagle. Or eagle tiger. Or damn eagle. Yeah over it. War Eagle. War Eagle Tiger. War Damn Eagle. Yeah, wait. Who's the other win? Who did they beat? It was like a nobody team.

It was like they... Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who was it? Louisiana Monroe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Somebody like that. It was short grass.

It was short grass. Should be. I don't know. Yeah, yeah. Somebody like that. It was short grass. It was short grass. Should be. I don't know. Should be interesting. We'll see. With OU coming to town. Yeah, that's going to be real. OU has good defense, but their offense ain't great.

Well, our defense isn't great. And then our defense is not great. South Carolina being three and one. South Carolina. I didn't have that on my – Should be four and O. I didn't have that on my – Should be 4-0. I didn't have that on my bingo card. Yeah.

I hate to just sound like a garnet glasses guy, but should be 4-0. Yeah. You know? And as I've talked to people about that, and I'm glad to get validated by, like, people that don't care about the team but care about sports. Like, Portnoy had, like, a riff on it, and I'm like, you don't care anything about the Gamecocks and you know.

Because it's like hey that's 21 points you took and it's like I'd agree that 14 of them were ours seven were questionable I definitely say that one of them was you know a terrible yeah terrible call but I mean I think my takeaway

my going to the season I definitely thought I didn't think we're going to be good. And they definitely have issues. I mean, I think the quarterback doesn't get injured and then the refs can't steal that game. Right.

If sellers is playing like the refs can't steal it with the backup quarterback, they can steal it. They did steal it. But either way, I'm like, okay, this defense can play like this.

I'm not saying that they go in as favors to any of these SEC games, but they can definitely play in these games. Oh, 100%. And like you sprinkle in a little beamer ball and like, oh, there's like a possibility that you come out with some big ones. So, yeah, that was good. That LSU one was disappointing. Last week was good.

And then bye week. And then Ole Miss. So, Ole Miss will be the – Excuse me. That'll bye week And then Ole Miss So Ole Miss will be the Is Ole Miss at home? Yeah at home That should be a good game With A&M it's like all the games I thought were going to be easy

Are looking to be more difficult Than all the tough games With LSU, LSU doesn't look great They look very beatable. Thanks. Makes me feel good. Yeah. A hundred percent.

But then like, but then A&M goes to South Carolina. I was like, Oh no. Not an easy place to go in right now. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

I'd say my updated is, um, I think I said six wins, five or six. I still think it's eight max. I think it said six wins, five or six. I still think it's eight max. I think it's eight. Okay. I like that.

I can see that. Probably seven, but I think they'll play in a bowl. So I think it's eight wins. I think it's definitely some of these teams I'm like, okay. Like Texas A&M, I would have gone in and been like, loss. And, I mean, we'll know a few weeks from now, but now I'm just like, like Texas A&M, I would have gone in and been like loss. And I mean, we'll know a few weeks from now, but now I'm just like, okay,

if South Carolina brings their best and they're healthy and like Texas A&M makes some gaps, like that's a very winnable game. Whereas before I would have been like, oh yeah, like that's, that's a loss. So I don't know.

It's, it's going to be good. It's going to be good. It should be. Yeah. A&M is Arkansas this weekend. Yeah. That's be. Yeah. A&M is Arkansas this weekend. Yeah. quarterback's good for

Arkansas. That guy's good. He's legit. Is Butler 2-2? Well, it looks like 2-1, but I don't even know how that's possible. What? How? That's a win, though. That's a win. Yeah. Hey, we're up. Butler and Bulldogs are over here. We're up. Citadel's 2-2.

Alright. Two more games last year. Yeah, two more wins than last year. We're going Bulldogs over here. We're up. Citadel's 2-2. All right. Okay. Two more games last year. Yeah, two more wins than last year. Love it. Love it. Alabama-Georgia, hot takes. Yeah.

I'm pumped. I think it's going to be good. I have Georgia winning it, personally. So I'm excited for where I'm going to go watch it. It's a. Yeehaw. So I got tickets to this place called Cosm. C-O-S-M.

Oh, the big screens. Yeah. Have you seen that? Someone posted about that on Slack. It's like the sphere. It's on all the Slack channel. It might have been me. But it's like the sphere light, like, you know, the one in Vegas. But so it's like a big dome looking screen um i don't know so i there they start selling tickets to like sports like sporting

events and that's cool so shout out uh michael buckley owner of ventura meat company in ventura california weightlifter if you're in the area and you need good meat. It's your local butcher. Go see him. Great guy. Big volunteer fans. He posted him at the Cosm. Is that how you say it? Cosm? In LA. I thought

he was in the end zone at Neyland Stadium and that TVs were up. I said to him when I saw him on our Zoom training this week, I said, man, when you posted that before I saw the conversation that happened after it, I thought you went to the game. And I was like, good on you making the trek. And I was like, I don't know if you suck at filming

so you can't show me that this is fake or if it's that real. I was like, but it's one of those two things. And yeah, but no, it looks super cool. Wait, so it's one of those two things and uh yeah but no it looks super cool wait so it's not you're not there like they're not playing in front of you it's like have you seen i'm looking at it's almost like a 270 degree dome or like that's a good way to put it yeah that was very that's why jeff's here i have a a very analogous thing but no one will get it's a supporting arms virtual trainer on camp pedal that has like a similar like yeah like kind of like wraparound screen it's like 270 degrees so

i was like oh i know about how uh i'm not a j i'm not a j-tac so sorry i didn't i was i was a familiar but uh they had some similar for lagos so it looks pretty legit so jordy would you say it's demore yes very demure demure have you heard this word lately i've seen some things pop up i don't know what it like the original the origin of this is but oh i don't i don't really even know what it means i just keep seeing it pop up it's like a new gen z word use it in a sentence um what's a what's a gen z so they only use two it in a sentence. What's a Gen Z? So they only use two words in a sentence. What's a college football team you don't like?

Texas. Clemson. Clemson. Okay, Clemson. They're walking by, you're like, ah, not Demure. It's like a bad thing. Demure is like elevated, sophisticated, kind of bougie. It's a good thing.

Yeah, that play was so small mouse bath bass yeah not very demure yeah it's like not like a slang word it's an actual word that like somehow they've latched on to a real word it's like a real old word. It's like a vocab word, you know? Like you were in like fourth grade learning vocab. Yeah. Not that I learned demure in fourth grade, but. Yeah. Dictionary going viral. They learned it in common core math.

Maybe. Yeah. Speaking of which, Jeff, on pronunciating things correctly. Pronouncing. Pronouncing. There you go. Yeah. See?cing, pronouncing, there you go. Yeah. See,

again, this is going to further my point. Uh, my ex is like awesome. Captain Mitchell and real dry sense of humor. And I'd be like, Hey, where's Pinocchio?

And he'd be like, who? And I'm like, you know, like Pinocchio, like the first Lieutenant, blah, blah. He's like,

do you think he lies? I'm like, no. Well, he's like, Papachio. I'm like, yeah, that one. And I'm like, you know, like Pinocchio, like the first lieutenant, blah, blah. He's like, do you think he lies? I'm like, no. He's like, Papachio? I'm like, yeah, that one. And I'm like, where's – Pinocchio. I'm like, where's Matusik?

He's like, Matusik? I'm like, hey, that major that came by from this unit, what was that? What was his name? Tim Driscoll? He's like, Tim O'Brien? And he thought I was like messing with him. And then like 10 days into the op, he's like tim o'brien and he thought i was like messing with him and then like 10 days into the op he's like oh this is like the weirdest name dyslexia i've ever encountered i was like yeah

yeah you'll get used to it he's like no you get like six of nine letters right but it's completely wrong and i was like yeah it's just kind of how i talk about stuff still don't know my last name he'll figure it out yeah yeah the Yeah, the third. The third. The third. You know what? Hey, that's what an XO is supposed to do, man. That's right. Figure it out, XO.

Figure it out. Yeah. Squirt away. Good job pronouncing words. Yeah. So, yeah. No, so I think Georgia Bama is going to be fun, man. It's going to be a good game.

Who's winning? We're talking about that. Georgia. I think Georgia. Georgia? They're both coming off buys, but I don't know. I think Georgia. Especially after that Kentucky loss. Didn't Georgia just play Kentucky?

No, it's Kentucky's close win. That was a scare. Yeah, but that was last week. Two weeks ago. Was that two weeks ago? Yeah. Because they're both coming off a buy. No, that was last week. That Kentucky scare. Oh, it was two weeks ago. Yep, yep. That was last week. That Kentucky scare. Oh, it was two weeks ago.

Yep, yep. That was the LSU game. Sorry. AT brain. Man, I don't know. It's all right, man. I think Alabama might win. I don't know.

I don't know if Georgia is going to win. It wouldn't surprise me. Yeah. Again, it could go either way, and I'm not going to be like, oh, that's weird. But real decisive. I mean, Tides won nine out of the last 10 against georgia with the only loss being that national championship

yeah right yeah but milrow is putting it together i think i think he's i think he's legit that's the washington guy That's the Alabama quarterback. Oh, sorry. Isn't the coach like DeBrow? Oh, yeah. DeBoer. DeBoer, Milroy. I thought you were making a James Madison

or some sort of presidential plug there with all the Washington guy. Yeah. Get your XO in here. I did text my brother the night of that Kentucky game. And I was like, can you imagine if we didn't get robbed by LSU in Kentucky beach, Georgia,

like how you're feeling three and O heading into Akron. But yeah. Akron. Is that also wrong? Akron. The wrong emphasis on the wrong syllable, dude. Yeah, yeah. That's good.

That's good. He's got it back. 12's getting back together. Coming back from the dead. Who's it? Boise State? Boise. Utah State, I think, just like said they were going to sign in.

SDSU. Yeah, so it's like, I don't know. I feel like Pac-12, you're not like a Power Five conference, if they still use that term. These teams are not, I don't know. But I guess it's better than disappearing. Boise is good, man. Boise is good.

That running back is good. Is it Bernard or Leonard? I don't remember. Bernard's the Utah. I can't remember. SDSU's usually pretty salty. I don't know. I would still, Pac-12 after Darkman,

I'd still watch that. South Dakota State University is going to the Pac-12? Is that what you're saying? San Diego State. Oh, sorry. My bad. That was my fault. What's the other piece of news as far as

college football goes was the UNLV quarterback. Do you see that? It's kind of wild. I didn't know anything about that until you posted that. I had to look it up. Where he just said, so the story behind it, what was it? Grant, did you hear about this? Which one?

UNLV quarterback. No. What happened to him? He just quit. He said he wasn't promised. Oh, there's three in a row, right? He didn't. Yeah, and he was like, they were projected to make the playoffs.

Like, they were one of the teams. And he, I guess, was promised something as far as NIL goes. Like a $100,000 deal or something like that that, yeah. Didn't get it, and he goes, okay, I'm not going to play. I'm just going to redshirt and transfer. Man. And I, like, just these not going to play. I'm just going to redshirt and transfer. Man. And I, like, just these little wrinkles in NIL coming out of nowhere. Don't mess with Marines chow or their pay.

I always say the same thing for college quarterbacks. That's right, brother. Don't mess with that chow and pay. Yeah, there's some interesting little wrinkles coming out of NIL. And, like, are more of these, like, lawsuits going to come out, like Reggie Bush's? Like, I don't know the full details that they're going into but like he's like oh hey like and i and i butchers soon everybody yeah yeah he's like well and i was a thing now uh which is pretty much what you all like you know to me before when i was

winning the heisman and he took my heisman and all this stuff. I don't know. I feel like there are a couple of other people that were suing about NIL. Braylon Edwards, a receiver from Michigan was in some lawsuits. P. Diddy was in a lawsuit. I don't know if it was the NIL lawsuit or something else.

It's all the Rico stuff. Yeah. Slippery slope. Reggie Bush. Apparently, do you know how much he got whenever he got in trouble? It wasn't even from the school.

It was from an agent. No. Yes. $345,000. No. $340,000. No. $340,000. Less. It's a little bit more.

$1,000. $100,000. Which is like... It's a lot more than $340,000. That is true. But I don't know. How much money did he... If he was playing today, how much money would he make?

Yeah. It would be crazy. Yeah. But yeah, I don't know. did he like that dude? If he was playing today, how much money would he, you know, how much money would he make? Yeah. It'd be crazy. Yeah. But yeah, I don't know. Like how far back do you go then? Like to, I don't know.

I don't know. I don't think you can recoup that like an IL money. You can't be unburdened by what has been. It's the truest thing that has ever been said. I've always said that. I've always said that. I've always said that. I mean, you can't, though. It feels good to be in there.

No, we can't let ourselves be. But seriously, you can't. You can't. But seriously, you can't. Try. I dare you. It's literally impossible. Yeah.

Yeah. He'll always be burdened. What are those little plants? They're like little clay sculptures that you put seeds in. Chia pets. What do you call

a chia pet for the Trojans running back? A reggae bush. I think that was the joke. There's some joke and it was a picture of Reggie Bush's face, but it was a chia pet and it was like bush.

We'll get it in post. We'll get it in post. We'll get that joke out in post. I'm going to try to Google that somehow. I'll find it. I'll find it. AI will fix it for us. Yeah. AI, fix it.

Complete. All right. Yeah, college football. A lot of fun stuff, man. Great time of year. Do you think Texas is for real? Do you think they're a number one team? Or do you think that's just a little bit of like people wanting them to be the number one team?

They want them back. A little bit of Texas home cooking. I think both things can be true i think true one they have a really cush schedule very true they open up against mississippi state they got vanderbilt on the schedule they do have georgia but i think they're also a really good team unfortunately so i don't know i always see it like when you're it's always tricky when like a team doesn't lose I don't know. It's always tricky when a team doesn't lose, but they're the number one team, but then they drop to number two, and you're like, well, Texas hasn't played anyone really yet, right?

Or who'd they... Well, I guess Michigan, but I think Michigan's fake good. I don't think they're actually good. I don't think they're that good, yeah. I was surprised it'd be USC. Me too. But I also don't think USC's that good, so there's a lot of teams that actually don't think they're that good. There's a lot of teams that actually don't do that good. Texas is 4-0?

Yeah, undefeated. Man, that's tough to do against tall grass. I'm just saying. Graham loves that. I love it. Dude, that's a great saying. I love it. It harkens me back to episode one when my brother-in-law was like,

Luke Casey's? That's what them rich boys from Dallas wear. And I'm like, yeah, when they walk through tall grass. Hey, put that on a thumbnail. Just grass. Yeah. Tall grass. Yeah. It's just like this. People would have to click. South Carolina. We just call that grass. Up in New York. You just call that grass. Yeah, just call it grass. Up in New York, you just call that grass. Of course.

Of course. Of course. All right. Next slide. Next slide, indeed. Let's see, Trey. It looks like you spent some family time recently where you were watching football. It's a little bit of a segue from college football.

And then you explained technology to your grandmother. Do you want to talk about that experience? Yeah, man. And then you were explaining technology to your grandmother. Do you want to talk about that experience? Yeah, man. So we went to go visit family out in Fort Stockton, Texas. Not El Paso West, but pretty West. So show up and my grandmother's like, hey, and she doesn't have a smart TV. And she goes, hey, my cable company's going bankrupt. And I got a month to figure it.

She loves football. Loves football. I love this. Antique Roadshow and football. That's kind of like her jam. That's a good combo. My dad loves that show. What more do you need?

And so I'm like, well, she's like, well, what can I do? I'm like, well, she just got internet like a year ago. Nice. And so she has Wi-Fi. I'm like, okay, let's go. She have Bitcoin? No, not yet. Not yet?

It's next week. There's a bank? And so we went to, I went to Walmart. I got a smart TV and I got her set up on YouTube TV. Okay. And, and I've deleted. So YouTube TV, if you have it, like you pull it up and it has all the different apps that you can, or the smart TV has all the different apps that you can click and you click on YouTube TV, go to it or whatnot. And so I deleted every other app.

The only one on there is YouTube TV. Like that's nice. I'm like, just go there and click that. Simplify. So you kind of educated the TV. Yeah, simple. Smartened it up. It's dumb.

You made it smart. Yeah, exactly. That's that old school Jeff joke. Yeah, that was good. I was like, I got a smart TV. He's like, I guess mine's dumb, man. It's an old school Jeff joke. I love Jeff jokes. I was like, I got a smart TV. He's like, I guess mine's dumb, man. It's an old school Jeff joke. It is.

You're not wrong. Vintage Jeff. So we got the YouTube TV set up, got rid of all the apps, and then we probably spent an hour just running drills. All right, turn it on. Scroll over here. And it was just like, I would like show her how to do it

and click on it. And then she would have the remote and she would travel with it. And I just remember like, every time I would start to be like, come on, like you're almost here. So close. I'd be like,

this woman grew up in the great depression. Oh my God. They had no ideas. She's 94 years old. Oh my God. Dad, no ideas. Like she's 94 years old, had no idea like what a TV was. And like, I just like remind myself, I'm like,

this woman went from like her, there's watches that you can take a phone call on now. And so like, yeah, it just blows her mind. So I called her today to check up on her. I go, Hey,

cause she loves Dallas Cowboys. I'm like, do you figure out the Dallas Cowboys? I'm like, did you figure out the Dallas Cowboys? Did you watch the game? She's like, yeah. She's like, I figured it out. I'm like, I'm super proud of you. You did a great job.

She goes, well, the Dallas Cowboys play on Thursday. I'm like, yeah. She's like, can I watch it? I was like, so it's on Amazon Prime. I'm like, I don't know if I want to cross it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe. How open yeah, yeah. Maybe. How open my... Technically, they do play. Technically, you could

watch it. Whenever she would ask a question, she's like, well, what's going on now? I'm like, do you want me to explain it to you or do you just want to trust me on this? She's like, okay, I'll just trust you. Was it that Apple TV remote or was it a- It was a Roku.

We got a Roku TV. So very, and a reason, yeah, good potential sponsor Roku. It's like four buttons on that remote. So fairly simple to navigate with. Smart. I remember when my grandma got it, my grandma's got an iPhone now. And I remember she like had trouble

like scrolling and clicking on an app. I didn't realize that that's like, there's like a touch to it. There's like a, I mean, that's tough to do against tall grass. It's tough to do against tall grass. Like she would like, we should do that. Um, but like every time she like press an app i she like press it and then it would like try to adjust the home screen or like click into something i'm like no not that hard like don't you don't have to slam it it's like i'm like just touch it and then she'd touch it but it was too light i was like i didn't even know this was a skill yeah you know i don't know you just gotta remind yourself yeah these people grew up this is like listen to radios yeah yeah yeah they were demore very

it's in our educational episode so yeah well she figured it out so she found her tv or she figured out her tv so but it was cool that was a struggle man god i love that i love running drills all right turn it on here we go i love that turn it on that. Running drills. All right, turn it on. Here we go. I love that. Turn it on. She would get it. She would get it, and it would be on. I'm like, okay, turn it off. Start all over. Get back.

That's what I felt like. I know we plug in the TV before we turn it on. Okay. I know I said scroll right, not down. Well, it goes both ways. You're talking the older population so i had the younger population in my ftc and they didn't know how to run a coffee pot and so like over the first few drills i taught them like the five requirements and i was like okay we need the

five requirements for coffee i'm like number one what do we need and they're like a coffee pot and i'm like well i had to talk them out of this so like yeah i'm like number two they're like power like okay what's next and they're like uh water sir we need water yes we need water what do we need next like a filter and and grounds and like i would drill them on it like every time all right give me the five requirements for coffee and so they finally get down like the marine has it his last name is trussell i call him trussell the love muscle but he prefers to just be called muscle and uh and like they finally get the coffee down and they break the pot class like you shatter it and i'm like what are you doing so we went and bought another coffee pot but after some marine ingenuity when she saw on the ok podcast instagram they took the coffee grinds container

If you can catch him out on this tour um it was good yeah you have an opener no which i was kind of not expecting um interesting we we got there i think they're like doors at seven or like 6 30 and then you know they're like show starts at 8. Okay, opener's going on. So we were kind of in line for a beer and then I hear a band come on, lights go down, and I'm like, oh wait, this is Sturgill playing right now.

So he immediately got down to our seats and he played for almost three hours. It was awesome. Did he have a closer? No, it was just... Don't everybody leave. I mean, I brought in a lot of people. No, no, no. Don't everybody leave.

Stick around. Stick around. We got one more. Mario Rivera. Yeah. That was great. Nice. Yeah.

What else? He did a cover of Purple Rain by Prince that was really good. Whoa. Yeah. Yeah. He did a couple – Not better than Dwight Yoakam's. No.

Dwight Yoakam's is really good. Never. He forgot the words to a couple of his songs, and he had to start one of them over. So it was pretty funny. It was good. Yeah. Isn't that funny how you can forget the words to your own song like i i understand but right you have so many oh my god what did i say yeah he didn't forget any of the words of the

cover songs he made that comment he was like i remember all the words to the other people's songs but mine i keep forgetting whatever all right i'm gonna start this song over and he like forget whatever all right i'm gonna start this song over and he like went back it's fine it was whatever it was good so yeah i bet i bet he'd be solid to see live yeah that's good they were jamming out to like like 10 minute long almost like jam out sessions like they were they were where was the where was the venue was it the same one that we went to? It was. It was the Maverick Center. It was the Mormon Tabernacle? Maverick Center. It's the Mormon Tabernacle, yeah. That's right.

There's a big Mormon guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's big. Huge. Really loves those Latter-day Saints. Just handing out coffee at the gate. No, it was good. It's where the minor league hockey team in Salt Lake plays.

It's called the Maverick Center. It was like, I don't know, 20,000 people. They had basically half of it or three quarters of it. 270 degrees of it were people. Oh, yeah. Can you give me a talk on it? Oh, yeah, dude. they had like two video big video boards and of course it was kind of like got a little psychedelic there where they were kind of doing some effects i'm sure there are a lot of people there yeah i love that but it was good i like what was the what was the venue we saw jack wyden out there uh usana i don't know it's an acronym i don't know what it stands, like most acronyms that are out there. Yeah.

Yeah. But yeah, that one was really good. It was really good. That's a cool one, man. That cool backdrop and everything. Yeah. Outdoors. You get a lot of good backdrops with the Wasatch Mountains in Utah.

It's not a bad place to have an outdoor venue. Yeah, Utah is pretty much all backdrop. Yeah, all backdrop. Mostly backdrop. Yeah, mostly backdrop. I got back-to-back concerts this week oh do tell i got uh i got midland friday night that'll be good okay and uh anderson in like a small like so they go and play like honky tonks oh that's like they don't get big venues and everything's general

admission so i'm gonna i'm just gonna pull like the nine-month pregnant wife, her favorite band card, and try to get to the front. But yeah, small venue. I mean, when you look at it on Google, you're like, this is just like a bar and grill. That's awesome. This is not whatever. So Midland then, Friday night, and then Los Tigres del Norte on Saturday night here in Greenville.

Little Cumbias? No, they're not cumbias. I don't know what you'd classify that. Dee will be mad at me, but they're like the OG. I mean, I'll put it to you this way. Johnny Cash went and played at Alcatraz. So did Los Tigres de Norte. And both of them had documentaries made about it.

But yeah, they're like the classic. So before I married into a mexican family and like learned some mexican also known as spanish um they're that if i was just a white texan that thought davy crockett was a hero like trey then i would i would be like oh i know that song i don't know what it's about but i've definitely heard it right like i guarantee you i send you like three of their hits and you're like, oh, Jefe de Jefe. Yeah, I know that one.

But yeah, so that'll be interesting. That's going to be fun. I wonder who's going to open for Midland. Do you know? I don't know. Sturgill Simpson. Yeah, Sturgill Simpson. I don't know. I'd be surprised. Let me see if the... I'd be surprised. Like, the venue looks so small that I can't know. I'd be surprised. Let me see if the... The venue looks so small

that I can't imagine there... I mean, I know there could be an opener, but let me see if the ticket show... What if it's like a comedian or something? Or a magician? What if it's PJ?

I'm a magician. PJ, are you opening for Midland? I don't want to say anything guys. NDA and everything. I'm not saying I'm not. It's at Wendell's Dip and Branch. And if I click

I must have inputted something. Let's see. You had Twisters. Did you see Twisters? Oh, yeah. Have you guys seen Twisters? Big movie guy over here. I haven't seen it. Trey, have you seen it? No, I've seen the first one. That's Twister.

This is Twisters. Singular Twister. It's one of one. Have you seen it? No, I've seen the first one. That's Twister. This is Twister. Singular Twister. Yeah, it's one of one. Have you seen it? No, I saw a different movie recently. We'll go to that one next. I'm a big fan of the guy in there. What's his name?

The guy from Top Gun? Corey Acuff? No. Pinocchio? Yeah, Pinocchio. Yeah, Pinocchio. Yeah, he was good. What's that guy's name? Here's the funny thing about the movie.

Glenn Powell. Glenn Powell. Big Glenn Powell guy. Good movie. Entertaining. Different than I thought it was going to go. Way different than the first one. But I'm watching it.

He's from Oklahoma. Cowboy. Everyone else on the outskirt of the storm. way different than the first one but i'm watching it you know he's like from oklahoma cowboy like everyone else on the outskirt of the storm he drives in the middle of it in his dodge hits buttons on his truck that digs augers down in the middle of a tornado and then he shoots fireworks up into the inside he's a youtube influencer and it's like cool and nothing's realistic but you're like this is entertaining it's like this is nothing's realistic. But you're like, this is entertaining. It's like, this is going on. Of course, he like falls in love with like the scientific girl that's like doing things the other way and trying to stop the storms. And we're watching the whole movie. Diane and I are like both enjoying it, like laughing once in a while. Not really like no commentary.

Like it's like, hey, phone's down. Let's just like watch the movie. Dallas just like watch the movie and then there's like one point where like she gets stuck and he gets in his truck which is like a four-door long bed with like a 20-foot trailer full of like 55 gallon drums of like you know whatever thermite something to blow up the tornado and the movie theater is like blowing off the face of the screen and he puts it in reverse in a tornado and like backs it up like perfectly like at full speed he's going like 100 miles an hour and i just paused me i'm like this is the most unrealistic it's just like really you stopped here i was like you don't understand how many trailers i've watched get backed up over time like this is 100 the most unrealistic part of

the movie the whole movie um But yeah, it was good. What's crazy, it's based on true story. Yeah, of course. Obviously. Just like the Alamo. Just kidding. Too soon. Too soon?

Too soon. It's your subject, Trey. It's your subject. Yeah, don't do that. You should watch yourself, man. Okay. But I would recommend it. I don't recommend a lot of movies it's it's definitely like fast paced and action enough that like you don't find yourself halfway through on instagram you're like oh this is like an entertaining movie yeah it's good flight yeah so it's like fast and furious

with weather never seen any of those but but sounds right. Don't see them. Mindless. Hey! Fast Five? One of the best movies ever made, dude. When they're in Brazil? You kidding me? The Asian guy looks like my dad. Not just because he's Asian, but... But because he's Asian.

Yeah. What movie did you see? Oh, I saw the one you're not supposed to see the band one uh am i racist oh was it with matt walsh oh not a band like no no i mean yeah people were hating on it yeah in theaters it's in theaters oh isn't it kind of like uh where they're like it's like they set up interviews, but they're like, they're not real or like, but the other people don't know that they're not real. Right, exactly. I mean, it's really interesting because he doesn't like, like make fun of them or say anything negatively about them in the entire movie.

He just like ask them genuine questions like, so what do you mean by that? And like, just lets him talk. genuine questions like so what do you mean by that and like just lets him talk and i will say i didn't know how gimmicky like on the scale of like super hilarious to like totally gimmicky like cheesy lame like i didn't know where i was gonna land recommend it it was hilarious the whole theater was dying of laughter what's it called am i racist am i racist yeah he goes on a journey to discover is he racist that's tough to figure out against tall grass. That is, dude. Was there any tall grass?

Ding! That's good. If you guys like that stuff, it's pretty funny. All right. Let me check that one out. What else is in there? It's a prequel to Twisters, I think. Yeah.

Oh, man. Their mind was in a Tw twister i'll tell you that much oh tell you what the original twister did not like that one when i was little i don't remember how old it was too scary but it was just like i lived in georgia there was tornadoes sometimes i was like i don't know if i like this movie but now see see i didn't see that as a kid. I did see it as an adult, but I can relate because we watched the Left Behind movies. And I grew up in the church and like all the Christians disappeared, except for some of them. And I would just be like, I don't like the way this feels. I'm unsure. I'm eight years old.

And then my older brothers would like stage clothing on the floor. I don't want to say took their clothes off, but they would stage clothing and like, you'd walk into the room and you'd be like, no. And you'd like run around. You'd like, you'd say the sinner's prayer like 10 times and like,

ah, and, uh, yeah, I, I still pray to this, to this day. I like people like, do you want to read the Tim La to this day, people are like,

do you want to read the Tim LaHaye series? I'm like, nope, don't want to read that. Like, I don't like, yeah, I'm good. It's the rapture, dude. Yeah. My dad used to have a joke about that in church. He'd be like something about, and then the music minister and whoever the current music minister was,

he'd be like, and then know pastor you know richard walks in or are you walking to the church and you say rick where's the pastor and it'd be like my dad got raptured but his music minister was still there and like it's a lot of a lot of rapture jokes back to get a preacher joke yeah yeah yeah and then my dad was like pre-trib so like before the tribulation people get raptured but my uncle was post-trib christians lived during and he was like wanted to be like you know speared to death like for christ and i was like all these like endings sound rough um so yeah i just wasn't at the age of accountability you know the bible is like the original choose your own adventure.

Seriously. Yeah. Anyway, yeah. I feel like fit a lot of topics. They hit a lot of topics. Love that. Yeah.

Are we at the end of the slides? Are we at commander's comments? Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. One last, uh, check through the slide deck here.

Anything on trash? Uh, yeah. Trash. So listen up. All right. MRE here. check through the slide deck here anything on trash yeah trash so listen up alright MRE here I'm going to need you to separate those and then you want to talk more about breakfast talk talking about how

we were like desserts and breakfast or no you don't want to talk about that you don't remember it's I don't want to talk about that you don't remember it's since we can i just i don't know too controversial it's i feel like breakfast is the only meal that you can have dessert as the main course and no one blinks an eye at it that was just so you have savory pancakes and then there you go yeah so so real question about that not satire do people think that they're eating dessert when they walk into starbucks one i'd make the argument

that the drink they ordered is dessert but two they look in that glass case and they order like a blueberry scone like to me that's very clearly dessert but like i don't think i just think like in america people think that's breakfast yep am i oh 100 okay so you're not saying like like around christmas you wake up and there's like leftover cake and you're like oh it's aunt frankie's cake i'm gonna eat this but I just mean like most people day to day, like they go like, I mean, Dunkin donuts, big fan,

potential sponsor, like coffee. And they buy a donut. It's like, who wakes up and it's like, I want a donut. Like if you, but if you walked out or if I walked out,

yeah, if I walked out and I was, it was breakfast time. It was like eight, eight 30 in the morning. And I was eating a donut. You'd be like, I'm fasting still at that time.

Sure. True. Yeah. But you'd be, you'd be like, be like okay like he's just he's having a donut for breakfast if i go have donuts for dinner you're like what do you yeah what are you doing you know it's just different i don't know when that time if it's like post is it 10 a.m i think it's sometime is 10 30 there i think it's like sometime after people learned how to make coffee and before they learned how to use remotes on TVs. Somewhere in there when that happened. I think Europe's probably worse, though, than America.

Yeah, but see, they balance it out by heavily smoking cigarettes. So you're not even hungry. They eat calories in the morning, then they just smoke cigarettes all day and they look great. So you're not hungry. There's also a lot of like deli meats at breakfast for them also. I feel like they're way more into like the pastries

and the breads and all of that. I mean, it's almost a cliche to say like, oh, you're going to have a lot of bacon or something or a bunch of sausage and eggs for breakfast, you know? Tell you what, those biscuits and gravies and those UGRs, hard to beat. It's like mom used to make.

Have you guys heard of mermaids? Mermaids? Is it like a small mermaid? No. That's a more intelligent guess. Trey, have you heard of them? No. Okay, so what would you call, I'll use terms that aren't correct,

therefore that you can use terms that are correct, the big MREs that are boiled and then served in the field by a chow marine? What would you call that? Like we're getting what type of food today? What would you call that? UGR, right? UGR is a technical word.

Anything else you might call it? Hot chowow right like i always call it hot chow but ugrs is which is like unit group it's an accurate no one rations unit group rations right so it's like pj it's like uh so you've seen an mre it's like a pouch of food so imagine that pouch of food is now in like a giant tray and so they boil water in these vats and they put the trays inside the water and put a lid on it and they bring it to you it's literally a tray it's a giant water yes okay yeah it's hot chow okay so the army who get who fed us during this i mean they delivered it and they know how to do that they They call it mermaids. Oh, that's wrong. And I was like, where are the Emiratis? And the XO was like, what are you talking about?

And I couldn't remember what mermaids was. But yeah, mermaids. No, same chow. Same chow. That's like when we're talking about people. Like, hey, I'm going to go use the head in the Marine Corps. And the Army guy's like, I'm using the latrine. Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, mermaids. But it's the same food. It's the baby dicks. It's the soggy bacon. It's the explosives. It's the eggs that are like they're like tennis balls that you're trying to chop up. Yeah,

rubber. So bad. Yeah, but it's mermaids. Their term is mermaids. What's it called, PJ? Vegemite. That's the Australian word. That's as close. Yeah. It's a vegetarian mermite. Piece of a Vegemite sandwich. My dad likes those. Loves those. Really? I've never had it. Yeah. I'm scared of it.

I think it's real good. Really? Is it? You're not a fan? Vegemite? I've never had it. I don't know what's in it. What's in it? What is it? Fermented yeast extract. It's in it? What is it? It's a yeast extract. It's just like ground up Zin. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. I'm in. Covered in syrup. I'm in. It's vegetarian. I still can't tell what it is. I'm looking right at it. Yeah.

I did have a Marine ask me for a vegetarian MRE, and I was like, so you're just not eating this week, son. What? Impossible MRE. I'm pretty sure they're all vegetarian. It's not me that I don't eat. Yeah, the Marine Corps was cutting edge on impossible burgers.

For real. Beyond MREs. Any save rounds, alibis? That's about it. If we can move on to Commander's comments. Beyond MREs. Any save rounds, alibis? That's about it. If we can move on to Commander's comments. Next week, we got to get into

Is that where you put I think, did you post it and I didn't look? Nope. No, I didn't send it to you. Because you're not on Apple Music. You're a Spotify guy. Is it deliberate? Do you want Grant to go to this blind?

I want Grant to go into a blind. I like it. I think you did send it and I saw it was Apple Music and I didn't click it. That actually might be true. To be clear, I'm not a Spotify guy. I married into a Spotify family.

I think that was Gateway. Yeah, that was Gateway. Yeah, see?

Dang. Throwback. Let's all reminisce for a second. IBM. Yeah. Prodigy was our internet service provider. Prodigy. We had dial-up for like, I think until I left for college. We had dial-up for so long.

So long. for like i think until i left for college like we had dialed up for so long so long my mom got a toshiba laptop and the email client was called juno oh yeah and you you dialed up through juno and like all you had was email and it's like it was so like cutting edge that there was no one to even email like you had email I think my dad did that because he was a nerd. Yeah. Weird. Good times. Blackberries. Back in the day.

Blackberries, brick breaker. Did you ever have a Blackberry? I did when I worked in DC. Oh, yeah. You did? Oh, the coolest thing to do ever was like if you're an intern in DC and you're on your blackberry acting like you're like you know sending the nuclear codes yeah and then you get into the

metro and you lose service yeah and so you just play brick breaker yeah what's your high score bro um oh man that was great i kind of wish they'd bring the flip phones back sometimes play some you still get them a little snake yeah9? A push to talk should have taken off. I'm just saying. I agree. That was pretty awesome. It's like a black ear, but a cell phone. Was it Nokia?

T-Mobile? Yeah. Something. Sounds right. Hey, Trey. And then if you don't answer, I just call you. Oh, okay. Well, if no more save rounds and alibis,
