And all proceeds go to the Semper Fi in America's Fund. Click on the link in the description and sign up today. We'll see you there. All right. And welcome back to episode zero four one of the okay podcast powered by the strength co I'm your host, Grant Brogi and we are broadcasting live from the

upstate of South Carolina. Uh, fall has sprung just a little bit. The humidity's out of the air. Maybe that was that hurricane that drove it out, but a hurricane, uh, relief still big time underway. Uh, nothing quite like they saw in Western North Carolina, but definitely still, uh, recovering from the impacts from that. So call your local fly fishing guide and get on the books. Go ahead and give that guy some money and be like, I'll be out there as soon as everything's fishable. There's some stuff fishable within a few hours of here, but businesses like that you don't think about often. So think of those guys. Tree haulers must

be making a killing now. They're cleaning up literally and figuring out literally cleaning up. Let's see. The price of Bitcoin is $62,113. What's new with Bitcoin? What's new with Bitcoin? I would say that it's still the interest rates. They're going down. They're going to keep going down. That means free money's coming. That means we're going to go into 2020, 2021 land again. I think the number is going to go up. Now, the interesting thing that I heard this week was now there's all these exotic derivatives that you can make off of, the spot Bitcoin ETF, which in plain speak and homeschool talk means all the Wall Street guys can start playing their games with Bitcoin now when they couldn't do it before.

So some people think that's going to make it just kind of level off and like decrease the volatility. And I know other people are like, no, you don't understand. It's different. Bitcoin gets more volatile. It's kind of spike. It's like the higher the price spikes, the more volatile it gets and vice versa. So it's a weird asset.

So all I'm saying is. 75 at the end of the year. What's the all time high? 79. 75, 75 or five, 75 or five. Hmm. What's the all time high? 79. 75. 75. 75. 75.

75. 75. 75. 75. 75. 75. 75. 75.

75. 75. 75. 75. 75. 75. 75. 75.

75. 75. 75 after Thanksgiving. Okay. And, uh, we come back down, we dropped back down to like 74 into the year that was based on no science, just vibes. Yeah. I think we just, I think we've been holding at 60 pretty good, like on a normal day, like I haven't checked the price of Bitcoin, which is impossible because that'll block clock. Bitcoin is just waiting in the bushes. Yeah. It's just chilling. Stocking just chilling. So you don't have some bitcoins. Now's a good time to have bitcoins. Uh, block height is 86, four, eight, three, three. Shout out Zach Copley, uh,

weekly listener doing good with his dead lifts. Um, yeah, there you go. But yeah, 80. All right. Which is an 84. No 80 by 80 by Thanksgiving. We'll touch 80 this year. Okay. That's what I think. All right. Yeah. You don't think it dips at the election? Like you don't think something there's election stuff. It might spike at the election. Okay. Who knows? I'm getting like a bunch of feedback. Bunch of feedback. Yeah. Like ring, ring. Is this plugged in? Test test. Okay. I think it's gonna, okay. It was just like, okay. I don't know. Jeff says three minutes anyway, back in the game.

Well, there's your Bitcoin report. There you go. The, you know, the people I was just with, we went out and grabbed some pizza, seeing Megan friends, Megan Kelly, Dave Rubin, um, and we, uh, we were talking about all this because we're seeing some friends before we head out, which we might talk about, but, um, uh, they just got power on today. Yeah, that's a, that's happened with a lot of people. Um, we'll tie that back in. So we'll talk about you leaving too. We, um, the turkey poll. So our, our, uh, annual event that we do out in Southern California, but you can compete

anywhere. We raised mine for simplify and America's fund. Sipper five fun, formerly known as simple five fun, which was a bunch of Marine wives and moms that got together, sat at a table out there around Camp Pendleton and started a fund to support, you know, Marines coming back with injuries to support guys getting out, veterans to support families for those that have lost Marines. And so it started as a Marine only event. It's now Semper Fi in America's fun, excuse me, organization, not event organization. So it's a nonprofit raised money to help the uh, the troops, but like the troops that are doing stuff and everyone, but it's a cool one. So we do a deadlift competition. It's supposed to be laid back.

A lot of people lift, but they don't necessarily want to power lift, you know, at the gym there in Costa Mesa, we have a lot of people that lift weights and are strong, you know, women in their sixties and seventies and you know, men in their sixties and seventies and young kids, but they, they left for the reasons we have convinced them to lift for general strength and wellness. But it's like, Hey, you're strong. You should go do it, but they don't want to put on a, you know,

a singlet and a unitard and spend 12 hours while guys crush monster energy drinks and eat gummy bears and the place stinks. And you know, the powerlifting world, nothing wrong with that. I've done it quite a few times, but some people don't want to do that. So we do this thing, the Turkey poll, all the proceeds. We write a big check, um, to the Semper Fi Fund. Uh, if you're coming in person in Southern California, it's $75, uh, to help put on the event. We feed you tamales at the end. Um,

the Semper Fi Fund reps come out and you know, we present the check. If you just want to participate, get a t-shirt and give a little money. You can do that online. It's $35. So you can go to the strength.co or you know, company website, go to apparel and more. You'll see the Turkey pole registration. If you're local and SoCal, you can go to gyms.thestrength.co, go to our gym page. It's there as well. You can buy for both things on both sites. So shouldn't be hard to find. Say, I'd say I was talking to some five on today,

talking about getting a rep out to the California event and her sister-in-law, our rep is in California, but her, her, no, her brother. Yeah, her brother. And so her brother and sister-in-law, they are married. They live in TR. And they got power yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. So, uh, yeah, it's been, uh, I forgot what we brought that up. I mean, I know I brought the Turkey pull up, but you said something about, though the people you're with just got power, but you were just commenting on just how crazy it is. Yeah. And now you got Milton. Now I got Milton. Did you hear that the government's like directing

all the hurricanes now? Yeah. I don't know if I believe that. Well, it's not about believing it. It's just about the fun of the conspiracy. Yeah. Yeah. Well, in South Carolina, we just call those theories. Yeah. We just call those observations. Yeah. That's a fun one. I did hear about the government directing the hurricanes, but I'm sure we'll have more weather talk. We'll talk about you moving, but let's get these guys on here. All right. Episode 041 of the...

Okay. I literally said Trey, Jeff, Jordy. Yeah. Jeff. Is that different? Why would you change? We've been doing it for order 41 times. Why would you change it? All right. My bad. Jeff, Trey, Jordy. Okay. My bad. All right. Don't, yeah, don't fix that in post. All right. Welcome back to episode zero for one of the, okay. Okay. Okay. Guide ons. Podcast powered by the strength co and sponsored, sponsored by BW tax, you know, funny. Uh, I saw BW the other day.

Yeah. If you don't know that this is a tax season right now, then you probably don't have the CPA that you need. So you should call BW. But anyways, get client after client.

I'm in there shipping t-shirts, inventory and stuff. And he just comes in and he goes, dude, sometimes people are in my office and I just have this urge to go like, okay. And he's like, and I just have to hold it in. I was like, don't hold it in, no BG, no battery gun he's ever held it in, just let it loose. That's so true. Anyway, sometimes we forget our sponsors.

We've never forgotten our sponsors, but they got an early ad read. Cause they don't forget you. I keep the lights on. Confucius say, don't hold it in. Yeah, the art of war. Yes, yes. Yes, yes.

But in any event, I coach a group of about nine guys every Monday, Wednesday, Friday morning and had them all in there. And someone said, you know, someone was saying something about knee pain. Like, I'm going to butcher this and I'm not doing it to be funny and Jeff will clean

it up like in real time. But they were like, see, there's no spoon. There's not a spoon. Like there isn't a spoon. And I was like, what? And then one of the guys who knows me well, also named Jeff G. Oh, F. F. Oh, miss. Fell was, was like, oh yeah, we have to like bring gran up. I was like, what are you talking about? They're like the matrix. And I was like, oh, I've never heard about the spoon. I've just heard about two pills like red and blue.

There is no spin blue. Yeah. I'm also impressed that you know that much about it. Well, there's just so many political memes, which might take us into political ads where it's like red or blue pill. I'm like, I don't love either pill, but I'm definitely taking the red pill. So that's why I know.

Down for adventure. Yeah, red buttons seem to do more stuff. Is he referring to the spoon that like spins around, that he moves with his mind? I think it's the one where he bent it and then he was like, he's like, how'd you bend this spoon? That is literally what I just said. You said spin around. He said bend. Yeah. It's been, yeah. Yeah. What's the, is it the Oracle he goes to see? Yeah. He sees the old lady making cookies. This is like the second, I think this is the second matrix no they said it was

the first matrix because they said there's only one real matrix and I said there's only one real Star Trek 2 and it's Lord of the Rings and they all is it the first okay just like when you're ready you'll understand there is no spoon or something I think something like that I've never seen it. It's like Keaton, Reeves, Riviera or something. Yep. Keaton Riviera. Star of the matrix. Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves.

Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves. Wow. Crazy Mike is going. He's just yelling. It's not the Mike. Keanu Reeves.

I get Keanu Reeves a lot. I get people asking me or telling me I look like either Keanu Reeves or Miles Teller. I see that. Yeah. I can see that. I can see that. I can see, I can see that. I get Steve the pirate from dodge ball. Wait, oh you. That's like the most common one I've ever gotten.

Start doing starting strength. Yeah. With mustache, without mustache. I always get Steve the pirate. Hold on. I got to find this guy. That's pretty good. Jeff, who do you get? I don't know. Besides like Brian Brad Pitt and you know, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely. I mean, I mean, George, maybe Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Reynolds, Chris Hemsworth, especially when I had my shirt off. Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah, I get it.

Yeah. Yeah. Same. Cause he got just six pack all the time. Ronnie Coleman. Six pack guy. Yeah. Everyone calls me Ronnie Coleman.

I'm like, no. Yeah, buddy. Jeff. What do you get Trey? Um, a while back I got Tyler the creator a lot, even though he's black. Dude, you do look like a white Tyler creator. The creator. I get that. I don't know why you guys had to distinguish the color. Oh, well, I don't see color. Yeah. I only see blue and red.

It becomes actually in my dude commercials. That's actually the best. That's my favorite one. Trey being Tyler, the. In South Carolina, we just call that a creator. Yeah, the creator. Yeah, you do look a little bit. I figured you just called him Tyler. Yeah. He looks like Tyler. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I thought in South Carolina, you just called him Tyler, but okay. All right. So make sure you include... No, we're going to have graphics up and everything. Yeah. Steve the... Well I'm even on the thumbnail. Well, there's going to be some backlash as a blackface if I do that, but yeah. Like I'm not saying like, he's not saying,

Hey, you should do that. You should do that for Halloween and see if you get more Tyler, their creator. Yeah. What's the movie? I love their creators. Yeah, dude. Probably not. What's the movie with the guy from Iron Man where he was black, like fighting in the jungle. Oh, I know what you're talking about. Tropic Thunder. Tropic Thunder.

Yeah. Great. That's a funny movie. Great. Robert Downey Jr. Right. There you go. Yeah.

Yeah. Anyway, welcome to thehmm. Yeah. Anyway. That's true. Yeah, welcome to the podcast. Yeah! Yeah! Hey. Hey. I guess we gotta jump right into,

wait, hold on, little quads. Real quick. Oh, Patagonia hat. It's a good looking hat, huh? It's a great looking hat. Just got this in the mail today. Nice, I can tell. From our secret Santa.

Dude. It's a sample. My secret Santa sent me a fisherman's tote. My secret Santa sent me a fisherman's tote made by the same brand. My wife likes it so much. It's just like a grocery getting bag because you can just carry so much stuff in it. It's like unbelievable. It never ends. Never gotten to fish with it.

But I bet it would be nice. Yeah, maybe we'll get you another one. We'll get you another one. No, don't give me anything before I move. I don't need any more stuff. Send him 10. People are like, oh, you're having a baby. Send me your address.

I just send them like my California warehouse. I'm like, I don't want to see it. I don't want to see anything. Please. No, no, that must be, he must have sent the wrong address. I know. I'll get his South Carolina address. Please. That must be, you must have sent the wrong address. I know. So I'll get it. South Carolina address. It's a onesie. Don't you have room? No, I don't have any room.

Oh, all right. Apologies. I appreciate it. Good looking hat. Like the hat. It's good. Yeah. It's good. What are we jumping right into? I mean, we kind of touched on political ads. Let's just jump right into it. It is the season for. Yeah. I mean, political ads, political text messages, political phone calls. Oh man. There's probably political drones dropping pamphlets and people's doorsteps.

So it's just all sorts of stuff. I love it. I'm just so probably so glad there's an election, political hurricanes, political hurricanes, political, but yeah hurricanes. Yeah political teslas driving around this point Abby's like at this point. Um, I don't care who wins. I just want these commercials to be over Yes, what's her abby's direct quote? They're they're unhinged out here

Old ted cruise running against uh, what's his name? Oh, so you're not even talking about the presidential ones. I thought you were saying the presidential ones because of the border. No, state ones are unhinged, man. It's there, you're all over the place. Is Lion Tech still a thing or is that over? No, it's, what's his name?

Colin, that was just a Aldrin. Is that his name? I can't remember. I don't know. Do you still have Pete Buttichetch or Butt-Checker? That's Indiana. Oh, is it? Yep.

Oh, I thought it was Texas. I don't want to claim him. Isn't there somebody in Texas? Oh, you're thinking of Beto O'Rourke. Yeah. Yeah. There's someone in potential spots. My boy, he always knows where I'm going. I can say he's like, oh, he needs a better work. How's

better? I think he he's not running this time. They are or they got somebody else to run in his place. So I think he he didn't since he didn't win. They're trying they got somebody else to run in his place. So I think he, he didn't, since he didn't win, they're trying to find somebody else who would be Ted Cruz. Oh man. So I don't know. Yeah. Libertarian ticket. No, man. Every other commercial I was like, Oh man. Ready for these to be done. Constant, dude.

Yeah. Yeah, you get the text messages too? Oh yeah. That's true. Oh yeah. You ever reply back to them? I love texting stop back. I love texting stop. Oh no, I reply back my political views

on whatever they're talking to me about. Yeah, that's what. Yeah. I just text them back. Oh, let's engage in a conversation. Yeah. Wrong guy. My vote can be bought.

That's what I always text back. What do you find more annoying? Commercials. Oh, like. Yeah, like text or commercials. Texts. Oh, commercials for me. Yeah.

I think it's commercials for me too, because I don't know. Like I just have my phone in too many places. And then we have a couple of business phone numbers. We use software for that open phone potential sponsor, but, but I'm just so used to like seeing like an eight to seven zero five or like whatever the five digit, you know, auto Texas. And I'm just like, delete, delete. So those don't really bother me. But the TV market spam. Yeah. Yeah. The TVs. I just watch YouTube. So, well, it's even like going somewhere. So, uh, these got this pregnancy, uh, urge for jalapeno poppers, which is like a food group that's near near and dear to my heart. And, um, yes, we go

and get them. But like we went today and it was like, we're sitting there on this porch and reading jalapeno poppers. And I'm trying to watch Mets Phillies Mets one go Mets hate the Phillies. And I'm like, Sean Shep, shout out. And it's like, yeah. And it's like the coming across the border, the rapists, the murderers, the dissing, the pet. I was like, this is so intense. Like, I'm trying to enjoy 70 degree

weather. Yeah, it's like a movie trailer. Ted Cruz has one is probably like me and Abby always laugh at this one. And it's like, we love our daughters, daughters in Texas are really strong. And it's like them playing sports. But Colin Aldridge wants males to play in female sports. And it's just like a shadow of this, like supposed to be Colin Aldridge, like tackling a girl. And I'm like, this is out of control.

This is ridiculous. Like, who came up with this? It's like an SNL skin is what it reminds me of. Dude. I'm like, that sounds like an SNL skin is what it reminds me of. Dude, I'm like, that sounds like an S.E. Like this is real. How about you? Hey, you're. Oh, this is a gold.

Hey, you remember it, though. Yeah, to be fair, you're talking about it. So maybe it worked. I'm just saying. I don't know. I feel like I feel like 49% of people have or 99% of people have their mind made up. They don't know. I feel like, I feel like 49% of people have, or 99% of people have their mind made up. They don't need commercials. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Do you feel like Elon throws in a wrinkle?

Nah. Cause no one who didn't support him before is going to change his mind, change their mind. Like, I don't know. I think it's still in the silo. Like Elon talks to certain people. Those are the same people that Trump talks to. I don't think that anybody on the other side is like, Oh wait, Elon said that. They're going to be like, Oh, Elon, the evil guy, Elon. Yeah. Oh, now I hate Elon. Now I hate him. Yeah. Tesla for sale. I think he reaches some interesting people. I think he might reach some rich people in Silicon Valley that could donate a lot of money to a campaign. That's the only.

Okay, so what does donating money do? At the end of the day. More ads. So for. So really you are more text messages. For more votes, right? For more votes, but. Okay, okay, so then therefore people switched.

But then we start saying that the ads aren't doing much. I was just saying, I thought, I think Elon. He has some sway. I think he's got some sway. I think he's like, cause like, I think a lot of tech bros just don't care. Well. And maybe he like gets people that wouldn't vote to vote.

I don't know. You think he has more sway than Taylor Swift? Taylor Swift? Yes. Actually, I don't know. RFK is an interesting one. RFK is... Because he's always been a Democrat and kind of known for it. He still kind of leans that way. I just love the fact that all of you guys think that it's like a real government election where

if there's more votes for one person, that person wins. Dude, I talked, the second question, no, here's the thing. So I had some movers show up to my apartment yesterday to like, obviously move some stuff and we're sitting there waiting for, we're waiting for a truck to like clear out so they can come in. And the second question he asked me, he's like, so you think this election is going to be real? And we had like a whole conversation about that.

And he's like, yeah, who you think is going to win? And I was like, dude, that's a pretty bold question to just like, be like, hi, how are you? Should we park here? Next question. Is the election going to be rigged? I'm like, well, nice to meet you, sir. Right. Do it.

Yeah. Oh, man. This stuff you're moving. I think everyone can agree. No one likes political ads. No, dude. Yeah. Do you are there any of you remember

runs on best of all time? I feel like that one I described is probably that one. That one's pretty pretty. like this is unhinged. I really want to see. I'm going to find it on YouTube. Yeah. I'll send it to you.

I'll send it in the way. Yeah. Potential sponsor. Okay. Next slide. Next slide. Love it. We should run a commo.

You didn't put it in the thing, but we did see video evidence that there was some amateur lifting that was going on. Oh yeah. Can we get an amateur lifting update? Oh yeah. Hey, if you have tax questions, who do you call? BW. BW. Yeah. Call Trey. Yeah. Call Trey. Talk to Grant. Yeah, or call Grant. Call Trey. No, I mean, I had- Call Trey, he'll give you Grant's number.

I had a 30 minute window about this big. Carpe diem. Yeah. I seized the window. I just did, yeah, man, I did three sets of five overhead press. Nothing too crazy, but- Okay. Trying to get something in. I'm like,

man, I got to eat dinner cause Abby had the girl got a press. She was heading home. I'm like, I'm going to eat dinner, but I also have, I could get to get a little quick lift in. So the little like 25, 30 minute session of, uh, overhead press, man. So I get this train rolling again. All right. Back in the saddle. What was that first time in a month? It's been a minute, man, especially program. It's been a minute. Yeah. Like maybe like episode 024.

I was calling a month. Yeah. Yeah. Round down in this case. Yeah. But it felt good. Yeah. No, man. It's, uh, it was still moving pretty good. So I was found a good starting point. So what's your favorite role from there? What's your favorite lift out of those? Out of the four, like, yeah, like the four,

the four main ones. Yeah. Like bench squat deadlift, press. My favorite probably squat. Hmm. But I did have a, I did have a question that I posted in the Slack. Um, am true lifting question. How much, and I guess, I don't know, I'd be curious kind of what you're taking. Whenever you're coaching somebody new, let's say they came from, Hey, I'm just brand new to lifting sanitary lifestyle, trying to get back in shape or get into shape. How important is, do you emphasize getting your steps in? Not lifting, just like doing something like walking.

Yeah. I mean, Doing something. Like over lifting or just in general, like how much do I think like moving it around is, is good. Like, do you, do you emphasize that? Like if somebody, yeah, I emphasize that. So like, here's how I emphasize it. If someone comes into the gym, they're sedentary, you know, maybe they want to lose some weight or they're just, they're just sedentary.

Right. And so then now they start lifting. And if you lift weights, even if you do it pretty correctly, your joints get worked. And if you have been sitting on your butt, then all of a sudden, on the days you're not lifting weight, stuff can hurt. And so when people come to me and they start lifting, I'm like, hey, you're about to do something aggressively, add five pounds every time, and it's going to get harder each time. You need to make sure that you're recovering. One of the ways that you can cover is through movement. So I like that. And I also like that, I'd say the most I use it is when someone comes to me and says, hey, what kind of conditioning should I do? And I just ask them, hey, how much are you moving? And you know, if they have a watch, right or

something, then they have an accurate depiction. But most people have a phone, I'm like, Joe, just pull your iPhone right now. And it's, you know, it's like 4500 steps. And because on the long game, I'm after I'm not J tech, but I am a strength coach. And I'm after behavioral change. I'm just like, hey, why don't you get 10,000 steps for the next two weeks every day? And then we'll add in some conditioning. And conditioning, when I think of it,

I think of high intensity interval training. Walking is not necessarily that, but it's a more easily accessible behavioral change where someone is like actively like, okay, now I'm going to do this thing. So yeah, I'd say I use it a good bit. And especially if people are like very overweight, you know, I don't know what them getting on the assault bike for like, you know, what's the show biggest, biggest loser, right? I mean, obviously those people lose a lot of weight,

but I'd still argue that a lot of that's in the food coaching, but I don't know what them getting on and, you know, doing a hit session on a salt bike. Is that better than like getting up and moving around? I'd probably make the argument getting up and moving around more. So yeah, no, I'm a steps. I'm a steps fan. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't like, I also, the problem that you'll run into is you'll make psychopaths. So they'll get like 10,000 steps a day and then they'll be like, yo, last night I was about to go to bed. It was 11 45. My wife and I were watching TV and I realized I was 200 steps short. And so I went down to the garage and came back and I'm like, well, that didn't

do anything. At the same time, very quickly, can you go from being a 10,000 steps every day person to all of a sudden down to six? But if you're like, hey, I'm going to try to have this walking baseline because my job is I sit and then one night you're going to go to bed and you're at 9,200 steps, brother, just go to bed and you're at 9,200 steps. Like brother, just go to bed. Like you find the sleep. Well, is 9,500 enough is 9,000 enough is 84. I mean, it's like, well, you know, when you see it, so I see my good way, especially if you have like an older client who came in, she's like, Hey, I'm,

I don't run anymore. I want to get into some like resistance training, but also I'd be like, oh yeah, steps are very easy for you to do, especially at an older age. Yeah, it's a very easy thing to do. Everyone has shoes and most people have legs. So it's like they can go for a walk. So they don't need any equipment. They can just go and do it. But I also think it's really useful for recovery. Because folks that, especially when people get strong, they're squatting double body weight or something, and then they're not moving, but they're lifting really heavy, stuff just aches more.

There's not as much blood flow, low back starts to hurt. I feel that. I'm not even old. Yeah, not even old. I'm not even old, and I feel that in the hips. Hip flexors. Hips don't lie. I've always said that. Yeah, not even old. I'm not even old and I feel that in the hips, hip flexors. Hips don't lie. Yeah.

I always said that. That's, yeah. So yeah, man, three sets of three sets of five for overhead press 135. And so I guess try to do something tomorrow. Deadlift tomorrow. 500 YOLO. I would deadlift tomorrow because. How many sets of five maybe like two

two but I just think I just think sometimes when you're coming back it's actually easier to start with a deadlift because there's less things that are going to get sore but still stuff that gets worked so yeah I'd probably deadlift tomorrow and then you know bench the following day squat the following day one lifted day hey I like it like it. Should do something, right? Yeah, I mean. That's it, hey, that's the update. Yeah, all right, good update. Trade, or quick trade, do you like track your steps at all?

Is that something that you kind of pay attention to or not at this point? It's at this point, it's more of like, at the end of the day, like my garment will send me of like how little steps I have taken that day. So that's, that's basically what it's been. We've so the daycare that we take the girls to is super close to the house. And so I started walking them there. I don't know, man, just especially like my job,

like I'm in a car so much like driving from client to client. So it's trying to find the right time. So yeah, you're doing some of the, even doing some of the morning, trying to up the steps 10,000. How many miles is that? Uh, five. Yeah. Like four between four and five, depending on the person. Jeff, do you track your steps or anything or fitness trackers? Are you into that? Uh, like I have it as like one of the pages of my like garment.

So I'll just like click down and I don't know how far I work for work. So I guess in a mile like, oh, okay. Mile ish. Um, but then I'm pretty much walking around like the whole day. So, Oh, okay. So you crush the stuff. Like I usually end up hitting like.

Average day, like 12,000. if it's like I'm back and forth, all of the store, I went running that day, then like, you know, 20,000 ish. So did you pick 10,000 steps just arbitrarily or did you really like this is a little bit of a number that kind of gets thrown out there a lot? And mine is like, you know, I guess, you know, you get your steps for that day and then like it does some sort of average calculation. And then like, is like, oh, like today I'm supposed to get like 11,300 is my goal. So it like, it just kind of averages out to, I dunno.

Huh. Okay. I'll track anything, dude. You're trying to put on weight, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you're trying to calories homie. Here's an amateur lifting question.

You know, you asked Grant, this isn't a task question because otherwise I'd ask BW. We call BW. Right. But even if someone was bulking, they should probably keep the steps. You think? Yeah. Yeah. I think you should walk. Yeah. Yeah. Cause I mean, how, how many calories are you going to burn with that? Like, yeah, not that much. I mean, yeah.

Yeah. I just think movement and blood flow is good for recovery. So that's why I want people to walk. I mean, the efforting has got the whole thing about three, 10 minute walks a day after each meal for digestion. There's a bunch of, there's some science that supports it. There's some science that doesn't. I mean, I just think if people just move a little bit more, they feel better and they should move. Make sense. All right. Well, are we not going to talk about Alabama? We got we got two paths to go down right now.

Both are kind of like I think going to be the bigger, bigger topic of the episode. We got college football and country music. Oh, man. College football. Let's get a college football. But before we do that. Yeah. Celebrity guest. Yeah, I don't know which one, but they're both pretty redneck. So I'm just going to.

All right, man, look. So I'm telling you, y'all gots to go to BW Tax. Cause now he's from the South, like, you know, talladega Nat style. Now I'll tell you what, if you're looking for somebody, well, he's your guy. Now I'm gonna tell you why. Cause it don't matter online or in person.

He's gonna do them taxes, man. Come on, Ricky. It just slingshot me in for a win, man. Pretty great. BW tax sponsor. That's pretty good. John C. Riley. Yeah. John C. Riley, Matt Starr, Brandon Teal, Marine type. If you didn't listen to last week's episode,

go listen to it. Good dude. I think it's a good dude. Um, if you didn't listen to last week's episode, go listen to it. Um, I think it's a good dude as we segue into, um, college football because we're from the we should just talk about it's a great time to be alive because like, uh, it's probably still 110 degrees in Texas. And there's people in Florida fighting for their lives with this hurricane. But besides those two things, hockey started the night. Bruins Bruins getting crushed by Florida. You got playoff baseball, which there's nothing better because it's like every day for the entire month, something's exciting. Uh, you got football going and you got college football going.

Yeah, Premier League Soccer. Premier League. They really got an axe. Yeah. It was top of the table. I knew you mentioned that. And then you just know, like if baseball doesn't end how I want. And if college football, the Gamecocks don't go eight and three like, hey,

guess what's coming next NBA. And it's just like this nice kickoff where it was like in the summer, it's rough. Uh, the weather's getting better. So yeah, great time of year and epic weekend of college football. Oh my God. Epic. I think I texted you anyways. I think I texted the group and I was, I was like, uh, I was like, man, I was watching the A&M game. Like this is going to be the biggest story. It's like of the weekend. And then it's like, not even like,

it's back by the obituaries. Like it's not even close to the front page. Yeah. So I didn't, I didn't see that I was teaching a starting shrink camp all day. PJ was filming. So I just saw our text thread, um, texting him just beat down Missouri. Like the way a game cock beats a wildcat. Oh yeah. Like it was even worse. So I thought it was, yeah, I thought it was gonna be a very close game and yeah, it was 24, nothing in half is just total

domination by A and M. They came out second half and just like scored immediately in the being what? 40, 40 to 10 or 41 10 something like that. That's why I was by the obituaries. Yeah, I was dead. Murder. And it was favored, but I don't like favor by like two and a half or three or something like that.

So it's supposed to be a close game. So Missouri looked flat, looked overrated. So it's still kind of an unknown how good each team is. But yeah, total domination. Really fun to watch if you're an A&M fan. Gig them. But yeah, like I said, I thought that was gonna be the biggest story of the day. And then like next game right after that was Lee Corso would say, not so fast, my friend.

Not so fast, my friend started watching the Vandy my friend. Started watching the Vandy Alabama game. And it was. Yeah, it was pretty great. Dude. It was like, you couldn't, you were like, oh, okay, Alabama's gonna. Exactly. They're gonna stop on this drive.

They're gonna stop them on this third down. Okay, they're surely gonna stop them on, no, they just kept, just kept getting chunks of yardage and looked great. So I watched the last two minutes. Besides that, they just kept, just kept getting chunks of yardage and looked great. So I watched the last two minutes. Besides that, I just had updates from you guys. There was a little bit on after the event, we went to like a place to eat next door,

and it was on a little bit, yeah, Tap Room, Brewery, and Soho, like in Charlotte, and there was a little bit on, but like the people that we had just coached were there, so I looked at the Gamecocks, like they're losing 24 to three and they look terrible. And my text threads have said that they're awful. So I'm just going to enjoy where I'm at and not like look too much.

So I watched the last two minutes. My question is, was it like Vanderbilt was in control? I know that feeling of like you think the next team is about to turn it on, but I don't know. Like I remember when the Gamecocks beat Alabama and I remember I've told this story before, I think on the podcast in the third quarter, I was like, oh, like we've never trailed and we are definitely winning this football game. Did it seem like that with Vanderbilt or was it like?

It always to me, it always seemed to, I was like the whole, pretty much the whole game. I was like, it probably until the last two minutes, I was like, all right, Alabama was getting ready to come back in school like it was very close like so Vanderbilt went up 14 nothing scored a quick touchdown got a pick six. They were at 14 nothing. You're like, like, okay, that's good job Vanderbilt That was a good quarter. Yep. They was gonna enjoy it for a second Yeah, yeah, then Bama started to come back and it was like, what? 10 to 14.

And then just like Vanderbilt just kept making plays like that. Like it's not that like Alabama played terrible. It's just Vanderbilt like making plays like they're, they're pretty decent team. Which is weird to say, but yeah, they just, I don't know enough to stay ahead and just kind of keep sneaking Alabama and make a play. Then Vanderb just I don't know enough to stay ahead and just kind of keep sneaking Alabama make a play then Vanderbilt be like do enough to stay ahead just a little more so But yeah, it was impressive. It was it was good to two things two things that were interesting one Uh at the end of the game they put on that clip on the big screen of nix agency Place yeah nix is an only place. It's easy to win in the SEC is Vanderreult.

You know, everything else is hard. So they played that great troll. Whoever's running it is probably like 25 and gets trolling. And the second thing is Diana was like, my Twitter, excuse me, ex formerly knows Twitter. It's just covered with like Nashville. There's like these yellow pipes running down the street. And I'm like, you're such a California. I'm like, they were in the goalpost. She's like, what is, I'm like, that's like what we do. And, and so she just kept sitting like different angles of Broadway of these yellow pipes going down the street. And I just thought that was funny because I remember we beat Arkansas Jordan's freshman year. So 2002 maybe and our stuff was like number six and they ripped him down and like Jordan was like on it.

And then there was a guy at the South Carolina, like state parking lot, state fair parking lot with a chainsaw and they just started cutting up the pipe and giving people pieces. So Jordan went and got it signed by Lou Holtz. And then he's like continued to get it signed by like more game cocks. Like you go into his office at home Depot and he's got like, you know, all this like amazing stuff he's done. And then there's like this yellow pipe.

And I'm like, that is like such a cool keepsake. It's like an artillery, artillery base plate or something, you know, like that is amazing. So anyway, the yellow pipe, which like whose idea they rip it down and like, like, Hey, what should we do with this? Let's go throw it in the Cumberland river two miles away. Yeah. Like what happened to the Vanderbilt one? No one ever says what happens to the field goalpost.

Did they return it to the stadium? No, they threw it in the river. Oh, they did. Oh, yeah. They literally threw it in the river. I thought you were saying it was a hypothetical. No, they walked down Broadway and they threw it in the river. Yeah.

Nice. That's even better. I thought that was so funny. That was hilarious. The city's like, ah, dang, we got to get this golf club down the river. And then I like that the team that rips it down gets fined and the money they get fined goes to the other team. It's like, that's the rule.

I didn't know that. That's the rule. Yeah, that's the rule. Oh, that's good. Worth it. Worth that down. Yeah. You don't even want that.

I feel like Mac with NIL. They should waive that fine. Was it? Yeah. You can't afford not to. They were 0 and 60 against top five teams. Yeah. Yeah. If you're unranked. Oh, and 60 against top five teams. Yeah. Yeah. If you're unranked and you beat the number one team,

yeah, you get the fine gets waived. Yeah. Well before we get to Auburn, then in the most exciting, uh, team in college football, which did deliver again this week. Um, so you got Tennessee, our Kansas in our Kansas, all before we talk about the game, they also ripped down the field goalpost and also got fine. They got fine. Double what Vanderbilt got fine because it was their second infraction since the rules. But how do you feel about ripping it down, beating a number 16? What was Tennessee? You think? No.

You know what he will? Arc and Arkansas needed that man. That's what so that's that's I get Jeff sentiment and I like I kind of agree like that's got it. So that's, I get Jeff's sentiment and I kind of agree like nah, it's got, but it's like, okay, one, how many times did the ON-16 team beat Alabama when they're number one? Not that many times, right? No.

But like. Approximately zero times. Yeah, zero times. Or like any other team beat, you know, but. Yeah, yeah. Arkansas, I feel like they needed that too. And I feel like it just gets the fan base going. Like, yeah, I don't know.

I was okay with it ever since. And they got that Walmart money. So like they're not hurting. Yeah. But it's a, I don't know. Ever since Bobby, Bobby Petrino got fired, I just feel like they've kind of just been very mediocre. And then really, what was he doing? Drink, drinking red wine on a motorcycle, something driving his girlfriend or wasn't girlfriend. Yeah. Yeah. As you do. Yeah. So as head coaches do, but, uh, yeah, man, just like, I don't know, they've been very mediocre. And then Chad Morris was there and just like was terrible.

And then they're running back and went to be a game cock. Yeah. And then everyone loves him in man. Like you wouldn't be well there. So I don't know. I feel like they needed that. Yeah. That was a good game. Oh, so much fun. Yeah. That was like three great finishes.

Like right. Kind of like bang, bang, bang. I know. What did Auburn do? I think that a five-week Okay, see what you want. No, they actually did not be terrible. They did not they did not they Were sort of in that game Peyton Thorne looks like he's Okay ish. It was down. I think the running back is great.

Yeah, it was 10 to 14 when I flipped over. Like it was in the third quarter. It was close. They just can't stop anybody on defense right now. The tackling is it kind of has like been but don't break thing. But they just the defense is on the field a lot. They're not great at tackling. There were a lot of times where it was like they could have got off the field on a third down, had a guy tackled, you know, a few yards ahead

of the first down line and nope, they didn't make the tackle. And then, yeah, so do you know, do you know who you have this week? Oh, is this a week? It's seven years row week seven, right? Is it? I got you. I got you. No, I think you have, you have a bi-week. I think you're right.

Are we on about the SCC, uh, South? We got Alabama Mizzou has Massachusetts because somehow Mizzou gets to play Massachusetts, Texas, Oklahoma, Red River shootouts, potential sponsor. I know that's the, uh, no, Massachusetts is UMass. Are you sure? Okay. Now I'm 100% sure. Nevermind. They played Boston college and now they're playing UMass. That's a real thing. Now they're playing UMass. Texas plays Oklahoma, Mississippi state plays Georgia, Florida, Tennessee,, old miss LSU and Vandy, Kentucky, which I think is one of the most interesting games this week because obviously

cause Vandy beat Alabama. But then you have like the game Cox that beat down Kentucky, but then Kentucky that only lost to Georgia by a point. They're both three and two and unranked. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's going to be interesting. So yeah. Auburn has a bi-week. Going to win that game. Hey, being a bi-week is tough. That's tough to do against tall grass. You get someone, you get someone into the practice. I'll be the law mower that we cut that grass real short. Outside the SEC, you have Ohio State going to Oregon, which I think will be a big.

Yeah. To number two, first number three. I'm excited for that. I think that's the only thing in the new Big Ten. I like a lot of good game there now, a lot of like just big, big marquee like matchups like we had. Oh, yeah. Washington in Michigan rematch this last week, which was awesome. Go dogs.

That was good. That was one year too late, but that's okay. And we had Minnesota beating, I think that was the other game we were doing. Minnesota versus UC. That was a lot of fun. That was a good finish. That coach was going crazy about who's it. PJ Fleck. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out PJ. And then you, then you had, then you had the Miami game, which looked like a loss. Yeah. And I went to bed because even though 71% of Americans live on the East coast, we decided to play football games on TV until 2am. And I woke up and the first

thing I checked, I was like, wait, Miami one. Yeah. Yeah. I came back 25 points. And I think in like fourth quarters, Mike, that wild. So I get out of my camp, right? Been coaching a squat and deadlift for like six hours. And I'm like, let me check his game Cox score. I see it. I'm like, dang it. My prediction of a beat down is definitely wrong. Let me check the Citadel score. dang it, my prediction of a beat down is definitely wrong. Let me check the Citadel score. And it's like, we're up 17-3 in the fourth quarter.

And I'm like, got this money in the bank. So then I'm going to eat with everyone. I'm like, I'll ask the, you know, the barkeep to put the Gamecock game on when she does. I know that Alabama game will be on, which it was. And I'm like, okay, I'm not going to be a psychopath and put the Citadel game on my ESPN plus account. I know we got this. I'm driving home. Like, how did we lose 18 to 17? And Furman are our tribal 104th time we've played them 104th time scored two touchdowns with an extra point in,

time scored two touchdowns with an extra point in, uh, in four minutes and, uh, lost the game. And there's an account, saying Lapper spike on X shout out saying Lapper, Citadel grad. I mean, the details are great. And he said the refs rigged it. And I was like, well, they're rigging everything these days, but yeah, most exciting team in football, four games, two and four, four games lost by two points or less. Are they, is Citadel like an option, like triple option kind of team? Not anymore. I wish. Okay. They're kind of veer based now, which is somewhat think it's the same,

but not really. Yeah. Fun fact. Um, fun fact, BW tax first job out of college was to be a football assistant at the Citadel and he was sent to do a study on the Veer which has been most well run by Georgia Tech and do a report and then the Citadel went to straight Veer slash triple option for like five years after and had some good good good good seasons. So BW is the reason they lost them. Okay. They were running the triple option. They would have won. Yeah. They wouldn't want, they wouldn't want. Yep. Yep. Western Carolina this week. So I mean, how can you pull against Western Carolina with everything they're

dealing with right now? So, yeah. So BW implemented the Veer at Citadel. Yeah. Big attacks is bad. A coach is a it's more like more like a moneyball scene. OK, it's more like moneyball. I'm just calling it like we move on is is sellers back for South Carolina. Is he healthy? Yeah. Sellers back. So and sellers is three and oh, when he wears his goggles

and he's own two when he doesn't That's that's the that's the Gamecock plus forums are like Can we put this guy back in goggles that everyone made fun of him for? Because he was winning everything when he wore goggles. So yes sellers is back I think Rockets still like on the fritz but is playing but I think Rockets still like on the fritz but is playing but so much back. Okay. Okay. Okay Do we want to do a quick breakdown of what we think the top two current top 12? He's kind of okay this yep, they're sticking around. Nope. They're not gonna be in the playoff So yeah, if you go through the 12 like top 12 right now pull it up Let's just say if they'll be in there at the end. I'm gonna be the most accurate

All right, That's true. Current number one team in the land, Texas Longhorns. They'll be in. They'll be in. They're out now. I hope PJ's right. That'd be fantastic. I would love that too. They're out, dude. Pretty silly. The Ohio State Buckeyes sitting at number two. I think they'll win this week and then they'll, yeah,

they'll be in for sure. Yeah. I think they're not total upset. Ooh, I liked that. Yeah. Okay. And then their opponent this week, Oregon ducks, quack, quack. Yeah, I think they're in. Yeah, they're definitely in dude. Okay. I could see that. I could see that. Jeff, do you not have opinions today?

No opinions. No. Yeah. Texas. Yep. Oregon. Yeah. This is why it's more fun to start at the bottom.

Number four. Drake. Would you fun to start at the bottom. Number four. Oh, Drake, would you want to? Oops. Yeah, no, we're already already started from the top. Now we're here. Number four, Penn State. Out. Out. OK, I'll say in. I think they're OK. I think they're for real.

Who's you're thinking? Three, I think ten teams. I could see three big, yeah. Hmm. OK. University of Georgia, sit in number five. I think they'll be out. I think they're in. I think so.

They don't play the game, Cox. So it's pretty easy schedule, honestly. And I think they're in. I think I am. I am my nephew. My nephew is a freshman there. I wanted to have that experience. So as much as I hate the dogs, go dogs, go dogs, go dogs. If this university is still around after the next week,

do you think that Miami will make the playoff? No, they're out there washed away. Yeah, they're fake. They're not actually real. Yeah, I agree that they're probably out. Hmm. I think they'll be in. OK, OK. I keep thinking that they're not actually good, but then they just keep winning. And I don't get it. Number seven, University of Alabama, roll tide.

So you're thinking a big upset this week. Gamecocks take down number seven. This starts the demise of the bow. I'm going to revise. I think Georgia's in Alabama's out. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Uh, Alabama's. Tennessee. Yeah, okay. Okay. Alabama's. Tennessee. I sit in last week. They're in. But I don't know anymore. I think they're out. I think they're out one more.

I think they're out. Nah. Okay. Okay. Number nine. Oh, miss. Out. Fake team. Fake team. Fake team. I'm with you.

I think they're in. Yeah, they're in. They're going to make everyone mad. That's true. No one likes Lincoln. That's what the rebels usually do. Uh, uh, see, oop, number 10. Grant, what do you think?

Clemson for real or are they pretending? Fake news. So I hate those people. So I hate purple, hate orange, hate Diabo, hate the fans. I think they're winning. I think they're winning. There's nothing in those hills. They're out.

Do Miami and Clemson play each other? Do all the ACCs, is the ACCs all normal? Yeah. Do they? Yeah, they're all big enough. Well, let's pull up. I thought there was like an Atlantic and Coastal or something like that. Yeah they? Yeah. They're all big enough. Well, let's pull up. There was a, like a Atlantic in coast stores like that. Yeah. There is. I let me, but Clemson's got wake for us this

week. And then they have Virginia. Oh, another scary team. And then they have no one. And then they have Louisville. Oh, another scary one. And they have Virginia Tech. Ooh. And they have Pitt, even scarier. Pitt's actually the scariest. Then they have the Citadel, and that's when it's going down in Chinatown. Then they have South Carolina. So I got two weeks to, I got two chances to beat them this year.

There you go. Oh, I like that. I think it'll be Miami. And I think Miami's gonna catch a loss somewhere And I think they're also gonna lose an ACC championship to Clinton That's why I said myself Okay, okay Okay, uh tied at number 11 right now

So Iowa State the cyclones I think they'll win the big 12. They're in. And the big who else is here? The 12th, the corn fair, I bet against the big 12. West Virginia's undefeated in the big 12. Oklahoma State is terrible. They've lost. They lost. They're not going to this week.

No. Yeah, they're already out. Okay. BYU's in the big 12. They're actually, they're pretty good. Dude, they do look good. They're undefeated. Yeah, they do look good. Mormon Church sponsored.

And then Notre Dame. No, I gotta say, because Indiana. Well, they're gonna to somehow sneak in. They're going to have like five losses and then the voters are going to be like, yeah, we want Notre Dame in there. Nobody like baby holds with them in the 90s. Where is awesome. Just keep them in there. Joe Montana played there.

Yeah, get him in there. Get him in there to a and that to another there. I can see that. I take a look. No, not hot. Oh, OK. I think Notre Dame's domain man title got the fake girl. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.

Yeah. OK. Teo to tomato tomato. Notre Dame's remaining schedule, I think, is pretty easy. So I can see that squeaking by. Well, especially if A&M ends up finishing well. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. Very true. Yeah. Okay. Now any other teams you think that were not in that top 12 that you're like, yep, they're going to sneak in there like Tre you just got to read 13 through 25 in one go and then we each pick two teams.

to read 13 through 25 and one go and then we each pick two teams. Okay. Love this. Go LSU, BYU, Texas A&M, University of Utah, Boise State, Indiana, Oklahoma, Kansas State, Missouri, Pitt, Illinois, Michigan, SMU. I think Boise State's going to make it because I think, uh, Boise state's going to make it cause I think there's one FCS school that makes it right. So I think they're in, I can't remember how this thing works. It's one FCS school. And then, um, FCS school. What do you mean FCS? But not FCS. What am I thinking? Group of five. Okay. Group of five. The, yeah. Okay, group of five, okay. So they're guaranteed a spot?

I think the best group of five, I think gets one. And then the winner of each conference, like Power Five Conference gets in. Maybe not ACC, but. But I guess it's Pact Four. Yeah, maybe not Pact 12. Pact 12 is on the next hit. Well, guess for packed. Yeah. Maybe not packed. Well, it does exist, but I think A and M and pit. Ooh, that's your, your picking them to make it in. Yep. Interesting.

I dig them. I appreciate that. You're welcome. You also, you cursed us. How did I curse you? Now that you said it, you spoke it like, Oh, Oh, Oh, right now I cursed you. I thought I like said something during the Notre Dame game, like the only thing dumber than the Irish is the Aggies. I'm more, you might like, uh, I like BYU and you would. You would.

You know what I would rather have? I would rather have Utah, but I don't. The Utes Utes baby. They got a good program. They just they gotta get that. I like that. I like that coach man. Big program.

He's doing. Yeah, I think we'll play each other this year. That's me. Big. That's me. A big, big matchup. I don't know, man. Halfway through the season is so hard to do. I like it for each other this year. That's me big. That's me a big, big matchup. I don't know, man.

Halfway through the season is so hard to do. I like it for real. Such crap shoot. Yeah, I know. I think Boise States and that running back is phenomenal. Dude, that was to be my next thing I wanted to bring up. Insane. He's on the air. Over a thousand. Six hundred yards a game.

Halfway through the season, He has a thousand yards. But then I... So I was curious, I'm like, okay, who has like the single season rushing record for college football? Does anyone know? Reggie Bush. TCU running back. What's his name? With Daniel Tomlinson.

Is it him? No, it's Barry Sanders. Oh, insane, insane number. Like if, uh, it was like 2600 yards or something like that. 2,500 yards dude is insane. Like if John T is that how you say his last name? If he keeps going at this pace, he'll be like the hell of like the fourth best season. He's averaging 200 yards a game.

Wow. So he needs to average an extra hundred yards to. Yeah. Barry Sanders ran for 2,628 yards and that's in 11 games. No bowl game like that was 11, 11 regular season games. When he ran for that much, they didn't even make a bowl Wow apparently not Yeah, this is in 1988 Good year good year. Yeah, good year. Yeah

That's tough, I don't know yeah, then yeah, I kind of went down a rabbit hole of like just the other like top rushers. Melvin Gordon is like the number two all time at twenty five hundred. And I was like, well, let me just look at his his season. Do you get a game where he ran for four hundred yards? That's pretty. That's I thought it was typo. I was like, that can't be real. They ran for four hundred yards against Nebraska. That was like, that can't be real. Yeah. You ran for 400 yards against Nebraska. That was why the other team, like not on the field.

That's so, I guess that's tough to do against tall grass. That's what I was waiting for. Yeah. That's tough to do against tall grass. Hey, my mom's about to log off. We've got to wrap up this college football. All right. I wrap it up.

Next slide. All right. Wrap it up. Wrap it up. Yeah. Push tray. Kick it over to Yeah. Push. All right, Trey.

Kick it over to you. You want to talk the OK podcast top country music song? Oh, yeah. Are you going to go down the list or are you going to kind of like put on some tunes and we're going to debut the list later or let's see what you got. Number one is Father John Misty, right? Of the best country songs of all time. Obviously. Also, number two, Father John Misty, right? Of the best country songs of all time. Obviously. Also number two, Father John Misty. You guys have really been working on this.

Oh dude, this has been, this is one of the hardest things I've ever read. Do. It's mainly Trey. I need four contributions. Is he trying to play music right now? Do you move it around? No, I'm not. I'm counting. No, no, no. I haven't moved anything on that. Oh, okay. Is he trying to play music right now? Do you move it around? No, I'm not. I'm counting. No, no, no. I haven't moved anything on that list.

Oh, okay. Did you answer something? At the bottom, I added four, yeah. So I'm just gonna give a disclaimer here before everyone unsubscribes to the OK Podcast. I feel like listening to this because we're so upset. As a Southern Baptist, you know, we have a lot of hymns, we have a lot of music, we have a lot of Bible verses, and

people are just like, heaven's gonna be so great. And you're like, so great. They're like, no, but it's gonna be so amazing. You know, like, so amazing. They're like, but it's so amazing, like our mind can't even understand it. Like, we can't even quantify it. And that's the best 10 songs, country music. So like, there's no way this is going to be accurate. songs, country music. So like there's no way this is going to be accurate, but as a center, I'll do my best to try and say if I agree with this or not, but there's no way that. So this is the main thing. This is kind of like, all right, this is, I guess, Trey's

favorite country. There's way more than 10 in here, right? Yeah, that is true. Yeah. Because it's so hard to do man. 1032. Again, it's impossible. It's, it's, it's so hard to do. So I'm going to, I'm going to give it to you and then you let me know like, Oh, that's, that should say that should go. Are we starting to start and now we're here? Yeah, I'm starting from the bottom and I'm just going to read off 20 through 11 very quickly.

Whoa. 20 through 11. These are the honorable mentions. Honorable mentions. Cause I feel like I have to add them. Number 20, family tradition, Hank Williams Jr. Number 19, I don't care, just as long as you love me, by Buck Owens. Stand By Your Man by Tammy Wynette. Cole Miner's daughter, Loretta Lynn. Feeling Good Again, Robert O'Rourke.

Delta Dawn, Tanya Tucker. Good or bad. Good song that's in the top 10. Yeah. Would you? Wouldn't be in my top 10. It would not be in Jeff's top 10. Okay.

This is Kiss an angel. Good morning. Charlie pride. Number nine. Same. Would not be in your top 10. I like that song a lot. It's good. So are you just trying to like abide with Cal the new California law law? That's a really good song. Just, just think it's good. Luke and Bach, Texas, Wayland Jennings number eight. So again, when it comes to that, I can see that one.

Yeah. I'll tell you what, Waylon Jennings would be in my top 10. Yeah. Okay. So a Waylon Jennings song, maybe not that one. For sure. But yeah. Okay. Number seven, you're cheating heart, Hank Williams Jr.

I would go tear my beer before that one personally. Okay. Fair enough. But senior. You said cheating heart. Wait, is cheating heart, Jr.? personally. Okay. Fair enough. That senior. You said cheating heart. Wait, it's cheating heart junior. No, that's not senior, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. To cut, to replace it. I think tier and the tier and my beer is my favorite senior song. Okay. Continue. It's also going number six. Joe Weendorf's Martin

Thanks. Jolene, Dolly's pardon. Dolly's not in my top 10. No Dolly whatsoever, but Jolene, one of the most iconic songs. I have a question on the standards here. Are these your top 10 favorite country songs or are these like my opinion of what the world's top 10 songs are? I think most iconic. I have. So there's other, yeah, there's other artists. I would put Jolene, I'd put Jolene in there, I think.

Yeah. I think there's better Dolly Parton songs than Jolene, but I think it's iconic. It's iconic though. So I have one song that if you don't say, I'm going to be offended. And you haven't said it yet. Number five, he will. It's about number five. Mom and tribe Merle Haggard. Actually wasn't that one, Jeff, but that's a good one. That's my top 10. That has to be up there.

All right. Number four Folsom prison blues, Johnny Cash. I can see that one. If I had 10 songs and all of country music. Iconic. It's not your favorite. See, I was, this is the problem I had. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Yeah, sure. All right. Okay. Well, as T-Gray's done Norte also played Wait, you were picking favorites. So this is your favorite list. No, these are in my opinion, the most iconic, not my favorites. See, this is why I had.

So should have clarified that like maybe before he started naming songs. Yeah, probably. My top 10 still holds though for iconic and favorite Okay Number three he stopped loving her today. There it is. There it is. That's the one I was being mad about. Yeah All right, that's gonna be there. You're basically ranked that as number one, but I think I can see it All right. Number two one of my favorite songs crazy by Patsy Klein

All right. Number two, one of my favorite songs, crazy by Patsy Klein. That is a good song. It's a great song. I'm really curious if number one is going to be what I think it is because you haven't even named this artist once. What do you, hold on. Post Malone? Yes. What do you think it is? Blue Eyes, Crying in the Rain.

Willie Nelson. It's right. Right. Right artist, wrong song. Okay. Whoa. What is it? Mamas don't let your babies grow up. He catboys. Yeah. I kinda, I got blue eyes crying in the rain before. Again, I like that song more, but I think this one's more iconic. Okay. Pretty good list. That's not bad. So I really liked this. Abby,

Abby's a big fan. That's who I was consulting. Give me those top 20. I'll feed them into GrantBot. If you're not a member of our Slack channel, you should join our Slack channel because we got chat GPT-4 with a little code written in and I'll make GrantBot do a blog post and then we'll post it on the www.theokpodcast.com of top 20 songs. Maybe we can put a poll in there where people can thumbs up or thumbs down each song or they can move it up like a Reddit,

like a sub Reddit, like, no, this one goes up. Bump it. Do it. Hey, can I throw a curve ball? Yeah, what you got for me. Top 20 pop songs. No, no, no, for country songs. You might, this just popped in my head,

you might disqualify this as country, but if I'm thinking iconic, I'm thinking what's some song that's been around that everyone knows that's still around and will never go away, but I don't know if it's country. What about you are my sunshine. It's not country. It's not country. It's not country. What is it? It's a song for babies. Yeah. Yeah, probably folk.

Folk, because I know it's a children's song, but like a lot of people in that world would sing that. Yeah, my dad's mom. That was like her favorite song, but I would. That's less country than Post Malone. Really? Yeah. Okay, yeah, that's why I was just throwing the curve ball, because if that's country, I can say that's iconic,

because how old is that song? Probably over 100 years old. Yeah, I don't know. Everyone knows it. Yeah. I don't know, there's a little curve ball. 30, Jeff, what songs did you add on here? How will the circle be unbroken? Oh, George. Ah, I love that song

I feel like some collabs can like save your list because you got you got some artists on there, you know Multiple I I put Brooks and done neon moon on there I love that one 30 but yeah, like I was my favorite. I was like the ones I put on there like would be in my like top 10. Your play. It's it quickly turned into just like songs me and Jeff like. Yeah.

Which I would have had. I would have had Leonard Skinner things going on just because that was a good, good take at the world at the time. But I see winner Skinner's that's is that country to you? Yeah, I mean, it's definitely country. Yeah, but I mean, yeah, yeah, I think it's country, but yeah, I know what you mean by that. Yeah, I know what you mean by that. What about what about friends in low places? That's iconic. Garth Brooks. What was the thing we posted about Garth Brooks? Who wouldn't be caught dead with Garth Brooks?

I posted that link, Jeff. My boy, my boy. He did it. Anglames Jr. said he would not be caught dead with Garth Brooks or something. Really? Boo Garth Brooks. It's an iconic song. Big jumping guy.

Big jumping guy. Yeah, what? He got accused of sexual assault? Yeah, he has two pina coladas Did you hear about the like the conspiracy online? He's like a horrible person like he's like a secret serial killer I mean the South Carolina would just call it an observation Just life right there, yeah Yeah, that's good. But that's good. I would say I have to put that song on there. Two rules for your top 10. You have to have, he stopped loving

here today. Not saying it's number one, but it has to be on there and you can't have Garth Brooks on there. Those are grants to, well, I made, I, yeah, I buy, buy them both. You did both. Yeah. I do like blue eyes crying in the rain though. Classic. I feel like that's classic. I said, there's a lot of great country songs. Willie's number one.

Yeah. Yeah. Great country songs. All right, Jeff, what else we got on here? Next slide, homie. This could be a good, um, I don't know what the actual like current updated on, but I saw like this like clip when they were talking about the, the long shoreman strike. Oh yeah. Yeah.

The union boss, Harold, like the interview, like the chain and just like, I will cripple you. I will cripple this country. Like he was going to be no cars to sell. Then they're going to go out of business and that's guys getting fired. And then there's, there's going to be no cars to sell then they're going to go out of business and nice guys getting fired and then there's there's gonna be no steel is he a hero or a villain if you were to put money on he's a dummy do you think he's in the mob yes no chance oh for sure yeah you know he makes 950 grand a year You know that so much of those ports could be automated and all they need is a reason to automate them. So that grant you're taking American jobs. Yeah. That's what happens when you want a 500% increase on 900 grand a year.

Did you know that you lose your job? You know that 20% of the longshoremen make, I think, 250 grand or over a year. And I think more than half make over 150 a year. I didn't know that, but yeah, longshoremen should have been a longshoreman. Should have been a cowboy. Yeah. As a Marine, you're more of a, you're more of a short shoreman. Yeah.

Shortshoreman. Take the beach. Yeah. They just call. Take the beach. Yeah. They just call me a short. Yeah. Yeah. Good. Good time to buy American made products. You know what I'm saying?

We put them on strike. Yeah. I think the new products coming down the pipeline from a company that makes American made things. Yeah, deals in cast iron cast iron pan tooling is done. Samples are done. We had other cast cast iron pans that we machined and oiled prior to doing ours.

Just looked at some photos. Yeah. So interesting thing on that, a cast iron pan, if you end up buying one of ours, but you should, because there's only 300 that'll be made, uh, to start, uh, on the first run that will release for this Chris Christmas. But if you get a cast iron pan, it takes time. And so, you know, it can end up essentially kind of like a nonstick, um, but it does take a lot of time to get it there and it takes some work. So you cook and then the first time you cook on a cast iron pan, whether it's literally just cast iron or you factory coat it, it's going to be hard to scrape everything off. Even if you're cooking like ground beef, something doesn't stick very much.

But you got to scrape it off and then you got to take the oil of your choice. May it be lard, may it be butter, may it be olive oil, whatever, you know, wipe that thing clean. Could be avocado if you're from California. And you know, wipe it clean. And then every time you cook, you have to do that. It's gonna take time, which is the kind of the cool thing about it.

With that said, if you, like people that wanted me to make plates, raw cast iron, if you take a raw cast iron plate, I mean, you go into a pack of foundry and you have a raw cast iron plate and you grab it with your hands. Tomorrow you come in and you will see Trey's fingerprints. You'll see exactly the place that he grabbed it. So human oil will immediately start to rust a raw cast iron thing. So season my plates. Yeah. Season. You don't need to seize them because they're E-coated. Yeah. So that's one of the reasons we do that. Yeah. Yeah. And bake it. So yeah, we got some,

looks like we use grape seed oil, high burning point, natural, uh, baked down. And so we'll do a factory coating. Once you'll make it kind of like almost like a bronze looking pan. And then as you cook in it, cause I've been cooking with the sample as much as I can, it'll start to darken and eventually it'll look like black. But yeah, the cast iron pan probably have a early interest email sign up definitely by the end of this month, October, and then they'll probably go for sale

around Thanksgiving and land by Christmas. So yeah, new product, cast iron pan. Can you talk about how this is no ordinary lodge cast iron pan? Because we had a discussion about this one time and in case I'm not the minority in this opinion, I didn't understand. You're the minority out of us four. Correct. Correct. Yeah. But in the world,

I didn't realize that. So I mean, ethnically, I am a person. I'm the most person of color here. Correct. Yeah. No. So it's machine, the cooking surface is machine. So most cast iron, it's a sand mold, sand breaks free and you have like a rough surface. So when you're cooking with a cast iron and heat applied, regardless of whatever oil you use, it's going to be more prone to stick because it's a rough surface. It's like if you ever grab a lodge pan or one of these normal brands and you ran your fingers across or a spatula, it would like make noise. You'd feel the surface. So we're machining the bottom of the pan

to cooking service. Yeah, the cooking service, not the size, just the bottom. And so it's smooth. If you run your finger across it, it's completely smooth. So what that means is that your food will stick less, it'll season better. So yeah, it's a higher end pan. It's like, hey, can you get strong off a Dick's Sporting sporting goods plates? Sure. But do you look cool on the internet doing it? No, you need strength plates. So when you're cooking your eggs, like, man, I

want to look cool and spend as little time cleaning that pan as possible. Exactly. So that I have time as a dad to go and lift weights in my garage, press 135 for three sets of five. Am I right Trey? Shout out. You know what man. Thank you for clarifying. Yeah. That's a good point.

Quick, cool tip man. I've, when you clean yours, when you're cleaning yours, what's your process? Yeah. Because I came up with, I found one that worked for me. Some people never clean. Yeah. I mean. You got to scrape it off. Yeah, you got to scrape it off. Like, yeah, you got to scrape it off. I have like a brush that I use. It's just a bristle brush. When I have it

like I haven't dealt with a new cast iron pan and so long. One of them that I own is my grandmother's. I have like a cauldron. I mean, I probably have like nine or 10 cast iron different size of a cornbread pan. I have a large pan that you can cook three rib eyes on. I have like kind of the whole setup, but I've been using them since like I went out on my own in 2010. And so they're all kind of like where I need them to be. But when you first starting, you just have to make sure you get everything off. And then as soon as you get it off, I usually just paper towel it dry and then take another paper

towel covered in oil. And I change it up. I don't think it's like this. I usually just paper towel it dry and then take another paper towel, cover it in oil. And I change it up. I don't think it's like, this I'll only use olive oil. This I'll only use butter. This I'll only use lard. I just like change it up and go. And if you're new, if it's a new pan, you put a thicker layer and then you put it on back

on the stove and turn it on low. Heat it back up. Heat it back up and then turn it off and let it melt in. And that also will dry it. Like, you know, obviously you dried it with a paper towel, but there's still like wet residue and it'll dry it out. And that's the thing. And that's the thing that we get to articulate

and show people is like, hey, this panel ended up being, cause now, I mean, like when I married Diana, she was like, what is this? I was like, it's cast iron. She's like, I've never seen anything like this. And then she started cooking on it. She's like, whoa, there's like no maintenance. It's like, great, like you don't have to oil it.

I was like, well, it like takes time. So we got to make it in a way that's, you know, we got to make some YouTube content on how to season your pan. But now, now I just, I just have a bristle brush. I, you know, brush it out. I use hot water. I will occasionally use soap,

but it's generally if I cook something I wasn't supposed to. And what I mean by that is like, there are people that argue that you shouldn't cook salmon in cast iron, or you shouldn't cook tomato-based stuff in cast iron. I do both of those things. So after that I will soap. I wouldn't use soap early on though.

You know, I would do it later. I use if like if I have something that's a lot of stuff that's stuck on there, I will get a little bit of water in there and I'll put salt in there like coarse salt. Oh yeah, you can grind it. And then you brush it off and the salt does a really good job and it's you don't have to use soap and it does a really good job bringing everything up. So yeah, no, that's good. I'll try that because I'm breaking in a couple pans right now. But also just it's underrated. Just put water and even with non cast iron, but particularly cast

iron and then put it on the stove with like an inch of water. I was about to say that. Just let it boil and then like once it cools down to where you can get your hand in there, then put it on the stove with like an inch of water. I was about to say that. Yeah, just let it boil. And then like once it cools down to where you can get your hand in there, then brush it. But yeah, it should be a cool, cool, cool, fun thing coming out and we'll have a leather pot holder option that you can add on. And that comes from a lot of experience, not nerd out on this too much,

but like my grandmother sewed me a bunch of them, but she made them too long in my opinion. So they go all the way up to like the edge of the pan, like as you meet the cooking service. And so, and she sewed them, so they're made of cotton, South Carolina cotton, because we're from the South. But they, all of them, she made me like four, all have burn marks. Then if you have a leather one that goes all

the way up the edge, even if it doesn't catch fire, when the heat comes, it'll like shrink and sort of like stick to the pan. So we're doing it in a way that it's like, hey, my hand can grab it. But the natural thing is like you hand it to a leather maker, like make me a potholder, or a cotton person or whatever. And they go all the way to the edge or rubber. I mean, I've had rubber ones that I bought on Amazon and like then your house smells like burning rubber. So yeah, anyway,

big cast iron pan guy. South Carolina. It would just call that a pan. That was a good one. A real good one. Yeah. You got any slide decks left? I guess you should say PJ's leaving last time his butts in that chair. Oh yeah, last in person recording.

Should we take a moment of silence? Yeah. Yeah. That was nice. That was good. That's good taps. Are you ready to move? I am ready.

You're leaving what? Sunday? Sunday. Tuesday the eighth, this will air on Friday the... Two days before we... 11th? Yeah. Yeah. And you're moving somewhere in North Carolina? Correct. Moving to, I only live in Greenville. That's my new role. And so I'm moving to Greenville, North Carolina. And in South Carolina, we just call that a Yankee. Yeah, that's not even the South anymore. No. Yeah, man, I'm excited. You know, it's not quite as an exciting town

as South Carolina, Greenville, South Carolina, but my whole family's there, you know. Just wanna be back around them. So, I'm super excited. That's great. Got the movers, got all the stuff in the house today. My parents met them and facilitated the situation. But yeah, man, you don't use these in movers, man. I hate moving. Yeah. Had to get some quotes, man.

You would not believe the difference in quotes for movers. I would. You would. Yeah, I mean the first one I got, it was the same company that I used before too. They were quoting me like two grand more than it cost me to move from Miami. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's what I said.

Oh, yeah. Thanks Obama. Yeah, right. Yeah, so I was like, I'm gonna go shop around a little bit, so swamp what I said. Check it out. Yeah, thanks, Obama. Yeah, right? Yes, I was like, I'm going to go shop around a little bit. So Swamp Rabbit movers. Boom. Swamp Rabbit, baby. Swamp Rabbit.

It's over there. The hockey team. During the offseason, the hockey team moved their last move. That's their day job. Opening day is October 12. There you go. Good time.

Last move. This is the last one on their book. This is the last one. Yeah. Of the season. Yeah. They'll execute. Yeah, man. So super pumped.

So it's been fun being here. Are they unpacking for you too? Or do you unpack yourself? No, I just got a bunch of boxes. Although they do, they put like the couch in the right spot. They do take your bed and like rebuild it, which is nice. But other than that, now just a bunch of boxes. That's okay.

I think I've been in this box for five years. Okay. And I'm taking my home gym with me in the back of my truck. Yeah, got that broken down in the back of my truck right now. So you probably, the most of your valuables are in your truck. Yes. Although top to top heel,

they'd say it's not a truck. Well, all of my valuables are in my SUV with the roof. Yeah. Yeah. Correct. Um, did you listen to last week's tray or are you too busy? No, you have a, what a Honda. Ridge line. Yeah. It was just, it was just like, all I wanted from Teal was to be Teal with just like hot takes and super aggressive over the top. And the only time the listeners got to hear like who he is, is when PJ was like, yeah, I have a truck. I have a hot original. He's like, not a truck. He said, no, you don't.

And I was like, oh, that's Teal. I mean, it's so fair, but like, I like it. Nah, it makes sense. They like it. They didn't get a breakdown. It's like a cyber truck, but like, I like it. Nah, it makes sense. Yeah, like it ain't gonna break down. It's like a cyber truck, but gas. Yeah, yeah. I could, it was cheap enough, I could pay for it, like, boom. It's always nice. I think I've talked to Teal three times in my life,

and I think two out of the three times he's called me an idiot at some point, so. Yeah, that sounds about right. Nice. That's it, right. I was the second lieutenant, so he wasn't wrong. I was gonna call you, call the creators. Quick thing on quoting stuff that ends in a funny story.

So, you know, we moved truckloads of iron across the country and if you don't know anything about trucking, there's basically like brokers, so big companies, you know, whatever, total quality logistics, you know, tried it, transport, whatever, there's always different ones. Yeah, and they, it's kinda like enterprise rent-a-car, you know, every time you tried it transport, whatever. There's always different ones. Yeah. And they, it's kind of like enterprise, run a car, you know,

every time you go to enterprise, run a car, you have like a college grad whose degree was in like business or customer service. They're like 22 like, Oh, Mr. Biggie, how was the weather? Where you're coming from in Utah? And you're like, Oh, the weather was fine. Okay, great. Let me take you out here. And they're like, super excited. It's like their first job. That's how the trucking industry is. And they're in it works. I'm sure it works to cold call and email all the time. There's one company I use a lot.

But every time we move any truckload, you have to email five companies because it'll be like, Hey, I'm going from Slinger, Wisconsin to Wapaka. And one company will be like $300, one will be like $1,200. One will be like $800. One will be like $400. It's like all over the map. And if you're going from Racine, Wisconsin to Southern California, it might be $1,800. It might be $3,200. It's like all over the map. So we have a list and boom, boom, boom. Whenever we're moving a truck, we email them. And with the bigger companies, the rep is always changing. The new 22-year-old is always brand new.

And so there was a 22-year-old, I assume, I've never met her. Have to be 22. That I worked with for a while. And she was pretty good. I liked her because they call you every week. I'm like, look, I don't move a truckload every week. I move like three a month. But they just send emails. There must be a workflow, hit all your contacts up this time. So I get this last one, he's super annoying, keeps calling. And Daniel's like, this new guy won't stop calling.

I'm like, next time he calls, just tell him to call me. So he calls me, I'm like, hey dude, look, I've been using your company for four years. Every time I move a load, you get a shot. You don't have to call me, you don't have to email me. I have your contact, we're good. And he came in, he was high a bunch, we didn't use him. So they changed my rep again. So I get this new rep and he's super aggressive

and then this week he emails me. And so I was not rude to him on the phone, but he called me, I'm like, yep. He's like, hey, I'm your new rep. I was like, awesome, shoot me an email with your phone number and whatever. You know how your industry works. Fast responses, lower prices. They win. And like we got a load coming in a few weeks.

I'll hit you up. He's like, OK. So they messaged me. He's like, Wow, you sure seem like a busy man. When I called today, like blah, blah, blah. And I'm thinking like, dude, I'm like dealing with a hurricane right now. I got nine months to go live. I don't have time for this. So I ignore him. Right.

And then he emails me like three days later and he's like, Hey, I looked up your company's website anytime, any chance you're going to the Mr. Olympia this year, because I think that like so and so body builder is going to win the thing. So I screenshot it and I sent it to my old rep. I'm like, please make this stop. Like this is so annoying. And she's like, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. Let me see what I can do for you.

Then he emails me Monday and he's like, hey, Monday, Monday, hope everything's going well. Football was yesterday. I got to watch the Dolphins in person and they put one in the wind column and I'm like, yeah, they beat the Patriots. I hate you. Now I don't even want to watch you. I screened that in the back door. I was like, she goes, Oh man, you hate that. Don't you? And I was like, yeah. She goes, I know you're a Patsy fan. I was

like, yeah. Uh, so anyway, yeah. Trucking moving. So he's trying, he's trying. I admire the hustle baby. Yeah, I do. I hear the hustle. He's creative. He's like, what can I say about this guy? Anyway, uh, as a fellow sales guy, I can, it's good. Big sales guys like email was going to end of like, it's Monday. Football was yesterday. Okay. Also tonight, one game though. I have one company that I use this day and the guys like intro

email was like, Hey man, I just bought a set of your plates because I left and they're awesome. And he like included a photo of him dead lifting. And I was like, dude, sold done. You actually like know what's going on here. That's awesome. But that's that's just business. All right. Well, all you got to do is be like, hey, where do I need to be at?

What's what price do I have to be? Yeah, yeah. That's all you got to say, dude. Yeah, that's it. Whatever. Any any other slides? Are we a commander's comments? I think we're about the way we go we at commander's comments? I think we're about, we can go into commander's comments. Was there, I know there's a couple of late college football topics in there,

but I don't know if we want to go down that rabbit hole again, but. Any of them. Yeah. I think you say push. Okay. Next week. They're they're related additions. Uh, commander's comments. I'd say, um, one, I want to thank everyone for coming out, you know, appreciate the brief. Good job boys. No, but, uh, the reason I say it like that is cause I've been on so many more briefs lately and, uh, Marine Corps slide decks, like everything that we roast in here is just

facts. It's, it's, it's, it's reality. Um, and everyone has a slide and the slide has all information and then everyone just likes to hear themselves talk. It's amazing. It's really amazing.

I was going to tell you that cardboard too, since we're talking a lot about logistics that on this, how long is that fishing rod? Like five feet. Okay. So, so, so put the put, do

you have a, a circular saw at your house? No. Or do you have a saw? I have a saw saw. Yeah. Okay, great. So lay out the fishing rod next to the tube, mark it with a Sharpie and cut it down to size. Cause once you get into dimensions like out of normal shipping, like man, five inches make a difference. You know what I'm saying? But no, seriously, like everything. Yeah, everything will make a difference. So you can cut that thing down and then you'll, when you ship it back, you'll save some money. Good to know, yeah.

Safe round, I love warranties. Yeah. Fishing rods, yeah. What's wrong with that fishing rod? So I was on that fishing trip, I went on a couple months back. I, uh, this one broke on the, on the way up there. And so, um, I G Loomis, the brand I like has a lifetime warranty. So just send it back. They're sending me a new one. Nice. All right. Cool.
