Grant Brogi here in studio in the beautiful upstate of South Carolina where fall has flung. My favorite thing about fall as you switch your straw hat out for your felt hat. For those in other states you might call those cowboy hats here in South Carolina. We just call them hats. Call them hats. The felt hat is out.

The price of Bitcoin is $67,310. I mean, Bitcoin is just pumping. And today's date is October 22nd, the year of our Lord 2024. And let me tell you guys, there is nothing new in my life. And so with that, next slide. Kick it over to. I feel like I feel like something. There's nothing we got to admin.

Think real hard, Grant. Anything you're going to admin. I will go to admin. We now have one M.O. One M.W. And one M.K. So one marine officer, one Marine wife and one Marine kid. Ooh.

Yeah. So baby was born on October the 18th, 2024. I forgot all the significant things that happened on that day. Although Connor did send me everything that happened on October 18th in history. Ooh. I love that. Yeah. So, uh, shout out big Connor, but, uh, yeah, as a dad guys, as a dad, I just want to say podcasting is different, you know, as a dad, um, I get it whole new life.

I get it. Trey as, as a dad, um, I feel like everything I'm going to say on this podcast today, I'll just say as a dad, um, because as a dad, I understand it now. Creed has a Creed hit so much harder. It's different. Yep. It's different. Damn. Well, I texted you, you were, what do you think? How's the adjustment going? Oh man. It's easy. No sleep. It's like a field up. Yeah. It's like a field up. And I'll say this, this Jeff Tray's advice was like, not advice, analogy, illustration,

how Christian do you want to get with it? It was the best. He was just like, it's a field up. You're always tired. You're always drinking coffee. And like, you'll wake up to fix a problem. And the problem wasn't that big of a deal, but it seemed like a crisis. And then you go back to sleep and then you wake up to fix another

problem and then you go back to sleep. And then at some point you just go, you know what, I'm just going to stay up and just drink more coffee. And, uh, it's pretty much it. It's four 17. So I'll just stay up. Yeah. I do love, I've never, you know, in the Marine Corps in a field op, it's like the FTC for artillerymen, us red legs, it's just like, they're just constantly brewing, right? It's like 2 AM you walk into the FTC, why isn't the cough pot on? Turn it on. And I've never gotten to do that at home. And now I can. And it's just amazing. It's like I walk downstairs. I'm like swaddling and rocking. I'm like, you know what? I need coffee. Go. Yeah. So it's, it's awesome. Life

is beautiful. There's Nolan Hickey, previous guest would say, really cool experience. Can't really put words to it. But yeah, Never been so happy to be so tired. I think is what he said. Yeah. Yeah. That's a great way. That's a, that's a great way to put it.

I mean, you don't even really feel it like being tired. You just like, you just, you just like, the only difference is like the problems in the field. They at least there's like, they're at least different. Like at least they throw you for a loop. Like something new is happening. This one's the same problem. It's like, oh, poop.

More poop. Yeah, poop around. Except like, except people complain about poop. And I'm like, I love poop. That means everything's going well. If the baby's pooping and drinking the milk, like everything is going good. So yeah, she was born on, let's see, this is Tuesday.

So she was born on Friday morning. And I do wanna, you know, girl math is a little bit off. Although I will say they nailed it for us. They were one day off, meaning all the girls that did the math for gestation, but it's 10 months, it's not nine months, it's confusing. Highly recommend conceiving in January, because October, best time to have a baby.

If you're gonna be up all night, hockey, playoff baseball, Boise State on a Friday night, it is outstanding. And I wanted the Mets to win so bad, and I was like, if the Mets win and she's a Mets fan, I'm okay with it because like I'm rooting for the Mets. This is like my, the sports I was watching while, you know, we're waiting on her to finish getting cooked. But yeah, it's pretty great. It's pretty great. First of all, okay. Podcast new tagline, I love poop.

Yeah, that's what I've always said. In January. As a dad, I always said this. Well, let's all plan that. Yeah, yeah, just always plan. Everything always goes to plan. You can plan that. Yeah, just plan.

Always. Yeah. That's awesome, man. I'm glad everybody's doing well. Yeah, no, it's great. It's great. Mama's doing good. I will tell you this. The labor story's not mine to tell. Maybe I said the D today and she didn't think it was that funny. I

said, so I'm thinking you're the guest in the podcast tonight and you tell us about your labor experience. And she didn't think it was funny. However, what I will say is a lot of labor. We did a lot of stuff at home, had a doula, all that stuff. Ten out of ten would recommend. Got to the hospital after like a long time. And then you get to like the pushing phase, you know? So it's like, there's all this stuff happening. The time was like, we're going to have the baby. And I've heard this before. Like, it's like crazy, right? Like the lights, come on, the doctors run in, the nurses, they're dropping, you know, I don't know what it is. I wanted

to say fork or spatula. I don't even know what the metal things they were dropping were, but they're dropping them. And of course, just like in the Marine Corps, it's like, the nurse can't find whatever she's looking for. And I'm like, how can you not find this? Like, you're about to deliver the baby. I don't even know what the thing was. What do you mean you can't find it but they can't. And then she's down there and she said, I see red all clear. Yeah, no, I said I've said that joke so many times. I see red. I see red to close it. What is marks the line? But anyway, the

baby comes out and hang on, drop my phone. The baby comes out and, hang on, drop my phone. The baby comes out and the doctor's like, so I had asked the doula beforehand, I was texting you, Trey, and I was like, I knew it was getting close and Dee had like, you know, is laboring. I'm like, hey, so when it happens, like how long? She's like, first time, Mom, you're looking at like, an hour and a half? And I was like, oh, okay, so a long time. She's like, first time mom, you're looking at like an hour and a half. And I was like, Oh, okay. So long time. She's

like, that's on the good side. Like it could be like three hours of pushing. I was like, all right, I'm ready. I'm ready. 15 minutes later from when the doctor comes out, like D's holding the baby. And he goes, Wow, kind of felt like a set of squats. And I was like, I would never film this, but if I could, that would be a viral reel because yeah, it was good.

So do your barbell squats, ladies. But yeah, anyway, with that, I got to read a little something here and then we'll turn it over to Jeff to take us to the slide deck. I got a message, got a lot of messages. I'm a little delirious right now. Gosh, what is, here we go.

Okay, so I got, this is a real message that I'm reading. Instagram message. You will be happy to know that today our weekly developer check-in, today at our weekly developer check-in, we were discussing economic nexus for the new app we're launching and we were trying to understand software as a service, monthly subscriptions, style pricing on how we would need to adjust collecting tax on a state-by-state basis. Without missing a beat, I said, well, we can always call BW and ask him.

They responded very confused, asking who I was talking about. I then informed them that he was an accountant based out of South Carolina that could help us all with our tax problems. They responded, but he lives in South Carolina. I said, that's the great thing about BW tax. You can live anywhere in the US and he can

still help you with your taxes. Our GM looks up BW and notices that he's based out of Greenville, South Carolina, also known as the upstate. And she stops dead in her tracks and says, he's from Greenville. That's one of the places I've always wanted to visit. I really can't make this up. Our call started to sound like an episode of the okay podcast. I was just missing the background music as I told them all the great reasons that they should pick up the call and phone BW tax where they will never get anything but a warm body. So shout out big Nate. He sent me that I had a good chuckle. I sent it to BW and BW said, dude, thank you so much for upping the price of sponsorship and not allowing anyone else in so that I could be

the sole sponsor. He's like, he's like, dude, it worth every penny. But shout out BW tax keeping the lights on even when the baby's asleep. So yeah, BW good guy. Good dude. Better attacks, better taxes. Good dude. Yeah. Dang. Those sponsors are lining up. They are chopping. It's annoying. Especially when you're like, have a new baby. It's like, I don't have time to vet sponsors right now. Like guys, get it together. Knock it on your front door. You're like, whoa, guys, calm down. Huggies potential sponsor.

Before we leave the baby right now, I would say, I would say, I was going into, you know, like all the stuff you get and it's like, you don't. So like we're in the hospital and they're like, swallow the baby. And I'm like, I don't know how to swaddle a baby. And then I watched the nurse do it one time. I'm like, Oh, that checks out. I would like to do this a little bit different, but whatever. Now I'm like a swaddle master. I'm very proud of you're critiquing the very, very proud critiquing the nurse. I'm very proud. I would do it like this. Yeah. You're a lot. Um, but, uh, everyone sends you stuff and you're like, what is this for?

But Connor sent us something and he was like, dude, this is for you. And I was like, okay. And it's called a breast friend. And I was like, I don't understand how this for me. I don't have breast. I have pecs. And anyway, we're like day two and I'm like, what did Connor send me? Because like whatever Connor sent me, like people send you cute outfits, put it on the Gamecock stuff, whatever, all that's great.

But I'm like, I know he sent me like something super functional, game changer, game changer. It's like you put it around your waist, the back's like a weightlifting belt, the front's like a front porch. And you just like put your arm up there and just hold the baby and you're like one hand free. And then sometimes when they cry, you like turn a vertical outwards. But like if you have to do that, and you're just free handing, now you have both hands tied up. So like you can't check the score of the game. You can't continue to do work, but if you got the front porch out, you turn a vertical and then you still can one hand free hand. So a potential sponsor, breast friend, big, big fan. Thanks Connor. They ain't a good life motto. You know what I mean? Breast friend. Breast friend. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Breast friend. Yeah.

Anyway, I could go on for two hours about the baby. I'm super excited over here, but Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. tonight? What? Yeah. He looks like he's. So I'm in, I am well, yeah. I'm in Long beach technically. I'm here for drill LBC, Snoop Dogg. Here's the studio. Here's a little higher. It's a little tighter. It's like, yeah, looking sharp, baby. Yeah. Lined up, lined up.

Yeah. Can we take a second? Just thank shout out to all the troops, all the troops, the troops. Thank you for your service to the FTO down range. There's one down range. Yeah. Thank you for your service Jeff. Yeah. We need to shout out the troops away more. We really should. The troops are underrated. They don't get enough love. They don't get enough support. The troops. They don't get enough support. They don't get enough support. They And we need to shout out the troops away more. We really should. The troops are underrated. They don't get enough love. You know, they don't have support.

The troops. It's all about the support. Yeah, we got to support them. Yeah, that's actually great. We should start pushing that support in the troops. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, let's do it. And we could we could be true supporting troops.

Hmm. You know what? Hey, if you're a troop, we support this out there. We support you. We support you. We'll give you, I'll give you a discount to the Slack channel. Code. OK, code. OK, we won't do it for anyone else. But for the troops, the troops, the troops, military discount, military discount.

We support them. Yeah. Um, it's exciting times. I mean, 30 days, half September, April, June, and November, all the rest have 31. So October has 31 days. Sorry. A little homeschool math there, which means that there's 19. That means there's 19 days left in October, which means that there's 10 days in November till the Marine Corps birthday, not 19. No, definitely not. Hold the phone. Is it 22nd?

Nine, nine, nine, nine. I mean, I mean, there's some sleep. Michael, what's going on? No sleep. Nine, nine plus four. We aim at you. We aim at you. Nine plus 10 equals 19.

You subtract one and add a wake up. 18 to wake up till the Marine Corps birthday. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. Nine plus 10 equals 19. You subtract one and add a wake up 18 to wake up to the Marine

Corps birthday. Right. Oh, I was in a raw troops for the truck. Big shot to the troops. Big shout out to the troops. Dang. Dang. Hey, what's your favorite version of who?

Raw. I read. I. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, raw. Yeah. I get real classical.

Oh, right. No, no, there's two things I hate when Marines do when they're like, and they're like sarcastic or when you say like, Hey, do they go live in the dream, sir? Thanks to her, you're not. It's not your gardens. That's a classic gate guard. Anyway, you talk to somebody and they say, brah, how you doing? Right. Sorry. Major Biggie press first slide. Well, let's see, let's see. Cereal rankings is what Grant posted.

Oh, yeah. I don't know if he remembers posting things. OK, OK. But yeah, I'm very intrigued. I'm assuming you mean like breakfast cereal cereal. I mean, in my case, I'd call them labor cereals, but I don't really eat cereals. My brother, my brother Jordan, president of Home Depot, by the way, uh, Mastinomics had a little meme today. They were like, we hope the president of Home Depot sees this. Mastinomics, the president of Home Depot has seen the meme and he loves it.

Do you guys haven't seen it? It's like some like strong man, like going to like push something and then he pushes it over, but they like put in like a bag of, uh, I don't like push something and then he pushes it over. But they like put in like a bag of fertilizer. And they're like me every time I go to Home Depot and like and they push it over. And it was pretty funny because I saw it and I immediately sent it to my brother. And then like four hours later, also don't hold me to timelines right now. I have no idea what time it is. Yeah, it's October 48th, 41st.

Yeah, sometime later there was a comment that was like, I too hope the president of Home Depot sees this. And I texted Tanner, I was like, dude, I sent it to the president of Home Depot, like first thing this morning. So yeah, anyway, but cereal. So he had Jordan likes cereal. Jordan likes a lot of cereals.

It was, we were laboring big labor guy and finally got a little break in the action of starving, hadn't eaten in a long time. And so Diana's a big cereal person, especially while pregnant. So I opened it up and it's like, honey nut Cheerios frosted flakes, cocoa puffs. Okay. Those are, and then like a bunch of like vegan, not vegan. We're not vegan, but like healthy cereals. Like, so I see the healthy cereals. I take

them and I dump them in the trash can. And then I'm like, okay, honey nut Cheerios frosted flakes, cocoa puffs. That's your lineup. What are you grabbing? Cheerios. Honey Nut. Whoa, Cheerios? These are Honey Nut. Would you grab Cheerios if they were there? Yeah, I would. For heart health? Okay. To me, it's the best. I don't like super sweet. So I like the sugary ones, but not a huge

fan of. Okay. And I feel like it's not a huge fan of. Okay. So I feel like, I feel like it's just a touch, touch sweetness. You know what I mean? So you would have grabbed the honey nut Cheerios between those three. Yeah. Okay. Jeff, I think I'm going Cocoa puffs.

Ooh, interesting. I went with the exact opposite. I went, I went, I went frosted. I love sugar. Yeah. I went frosted flakes and I went frosted. I love sugar. Yeah, I went frosted flakes and I was like, man, I haven't had a bowl of cereal in a long time. I wonder what the honey nut Cheerios tastes like.

So I finished it. I drank the milk and then you just justify it in your mind. You're like, milk's got protein. Rip a toe set a gallon of milk a day. Like I can do this. Yeah. So then I went honey and I cheerios and I was like the frosted flakes for better. Now I have to try cocoa puffs. So then I went cocoa puffs.

See Chris, it gets better. It gets better. I crushed four. So, so I ripped the bowl out every time, you know, cleanse the palette and I do love it. I'm like, yeah, frosted flakes were the best, but I got to go back and make sure. And so then I had a fourth bowl of cereal verify and a, yeah, two independent checks frosted flakes out of those three are definitely my favorite. And then I just like, in my brain, I was like, what is my favorite cereal? And I thought there's cinnamon toast crunch. I thought through lucky charms. I thought through captain crunch. And I was like, I think, I think frosted flakes is,

raisin brands up there for me. What's Jeff, what's the one? I like that raisin bread crunch. What's the one? It's like raisin bran with like the little like clusters in it. Dude, that one's good. Jeff, remember we were in, I think it was when we were in California, Dana Point, and we always got this one, it was life, Cinnamon Life. You remember that? Ooh, Mikey likes it.

Yeah, that one is good. That one was really good. That's probably my favorite. Cause Jeff turned me on to Cinnamon Life, cause we have like, at one point in time, I opened up the pantry and there was like seven boxes of cinnamon live. So I think there's, I think there's a lot to be said about the life, life cycle of cereal.

So I like cinnamon life and I like, I actually like regular life. Not like the life we're living, but the cereal life. Life is good. Yeah, life is good. But the problem with life is you can't pour a big bowl because it gets soggy. I feel like that's- Best when it's crunchy for sure. I feel like that's deep. There's a double meaning to that. It's better crunchy.

Yeah. Yeah. That's a life lesson. No, I hear you saying, that's why I think I picked the Cocoa Puffs in that one case because- Yeah, that's a good choice. I think you get nice crunchy. They're good. I think when they're,

when they're a little bit of milk laden and soggy and then the milk is great at the end. If you ever had the ice cream where they, it's like it's steeped in cereal and then they take it and make it ice cream. Squeeze me. Wow. That's not only I can't even wrap my head around that. So they steep the cream. Cereal? They steep the cream in cereal.

So like Cocoa Puffs or whatever it is. And they make ice cream out of it. Wow. I have. It's pretty good. I went to a DC. I have it. In South Carolina, we just call that cereal.

Yeah, you just call it ice cream. Yeah. Yeah. Dude. Makes no sense. Ciro. That's tough to do against tall grass. That's what I always say. We've always said that.

As a dad, I've always said that. Always said that. All right. Excellent. Good story, Doc. All right. Yeah. Hmm. Love that. Okay. Trey brings us our next slide. Did I? Why would anyone ever want a vacation outside the US? Fair question. What prompted this post? I feel like, I honestly don't know. I feel like someone that I was... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What you're saying is it as a dad? Yeah. Okay. I've always said this as a dad.

Okay. Go ahead. I feel like, I think a buddy of mine was taking a trip and me and Abby were talking and she was like, oh, that would be fun to go on. It was like England or London. I was like, no, why? Why would anybody want to leave the continental US? I have trouble like getting out of Texas. I'm like, I feel like why would I do that? It is a lot to do here. But the US, I'm like, why would you leave? I don't know. It's very American. Hmm. But the U.S. I'm like, why would you leave? I don't know. It's very American. It's a fair question. Yeah, I have no I don't know. I don't have a strong desire.

There's a lot. There's a there's a huge. Yeah, there's a huge variety of like what you can do with it, U.S. So I feel like it it's. You can go to the beach, you can go to the desert, you can go to the mountains, you can go to the desert, you can go to the mountains, you can go. I think the rolling foothills like Jeff, do you have a desire to go vacation outside the US? If you had unlimited budget, like would you go outside the US?

I think so. There's like, oh, definitely like, come on, we want to see. Go to Patagonia. Yeah, there's definitely a lot of places I want to see. Go to Patagonia. There's definitely, yeah, there's definitely a lot of places I want to see that are outside of the US, but it's not like, you know, yeah, I love. I don't know. I feel like there's a lot to do here.

There's a lot to do here. Yeah, I feel like there's a lot to do here. And when people are like, oh, I want to go to Australia or Japan, I'd be like, I'm like. Join the Marine Corps. You can do both. That's true.

You can do both. You can do both in one trip. Mike, have you been to the national parks here? They're like, no. I'm like, Join the Marine Corps. You can do both. That's true. You can do both in one trip. Mike, have you been to the national parks here? They're like, no. I'm like, wow, that's pretty cool. I should go check that out. That's pretty cool. Yeah, I think there's a lot to say of like, have you explored America, right?

Like until you've landed in Rapid City, South Dakota and driven all the way across to Aberdeen, should you go to London? Probably not. I think most people don't explore America before they leave. Yeah, I agree with that. I think that's a loss. There's definitely a lot to see here. Wyoming's still on my list. Montana's still on my list. Haven't been neither of those.

Pretty cool. I think I've, I think I've, I gotta look. I think I have four states I haven't been to. Three or four. Okay. That's it? That's pretty good. You done Alaska? Alaska. Yeah. No, thanks. Alaska, Wyoming, Montana. I feel like there's a fourth, but it's closed. Oh, North Dakota, which I was right there in South Dakota. She just got across, but yeah, I mean, I feel like it's like the bad version of the South, because you know, we're from the South. I don't know. I guess if I had to go somewhere, I saw a, I watched like a 30 minute YouTube clip of people, uh, peacock bass fishing in the Amazon and be like, okay okay, I'd probably do that.

Yeah. It'd be on a fishing trip somewhere. It's probably where I would go. Yeah. I can dig it. I also feel like Mexico's underrated. Well, I count that as part of Texas. You know what I mean?

Well, technically Texas is Mexico, but I know what you mean. I understand the sentiment. Yeah, same thing. Like, when I went to California, I was like, oh, this is Mexico, but- It an extension of the US version. Yeah. It's an extension of it. Yeah. Recently discovered that Utah used to be part of Mexico. So, yeah. Yeah. I feel like it's a good time to, I don't know, thank our sponsors. Um, should I go with the most recent or take it back to

like kind of the starter of it all? Let's do with a new, new, new. Okay. We'll do the new, new lunch. I didn't think you were going to say that. So let me go to the new, new, big Evan, the card guy, episode zero four, two. There's two things that are certain in life, right? Death and taxes, okay? We hate both of them, okay? We hate both of them. I hate taxes even more, okay? But it's something that has to be done.

It has to be done. And they don't teach that shit in school. It's one of the reasons I dropped out. I said, how dare they not teach me what to do with my taxes? I need to hire somebody. But I don't wanna press one and hear someone ask

English or Spanish, okay? I want someone that's gonna help me and it doesn't matter what state I'm dealing out of, it doesn't matter who I'm selling merch to, or really what I'm doing, someone's gonna take care of it for me. And the great thing about SW tax is... So what? BW tax. BW tax.

An error. SW. What the fuck did I get that? Is there drug compatibility? You know, the SW is actually for so wonderful. BW. BW tax firm. Yeah, make sure you, you use it because you need to do your taxes. Don't end up in jail and have someone that's going to help

you not go to jail. My favorite part about that is he said, you know, cause he kind of talked during the episode about how he's like less than a magic more into mental health, you know, like moving on, but he said, whatever state you're dealing out of. And I was like, Oh, so you're still fixing card games. You're still a card guy. Yeah, that was good. He brings me a good point. I wish I would teach you how to do taxes in school. I just like that. He hates taxes more than he hates death. That's my biggest takeaway.

That don't we all. We get into college football. Yeah, it's getting there. Yeah, that was a heck of a weekend. Wasn't it, right? I mean. No, it was. It's like every weekend is a good weekend.

I kind of love these new conferences. I wasn't sure if I loved it, but now it's like every weekend is a good weekend. I kind of love these new conferences. I wasn't sure if I loved it, but now it's like every week in the Big Ten is like a classic Rose Bowl matchup. Basically, you're like the number one team is always playing, you know, they're like top five. It's great. I'm a fan. Indiana is good out of nowhere, apparently. But yeah, did you Google that coach?

He just wins. Just Google me. Google me. Check my resume. I'm a winner. Um, we'll see. Yeah. Are we doing what? I'm not going to use some what? Top two takeaways. Yeah. Well, what is your big,

where are your big takeaways from the weekend, Trey? Man. Well. I feel like the A&M game was I'm not going to count that, but they won. So like I was happy with that. They always have trouble Mississippi State. So. So it's cowbells. Do you see what you want to do? They're they've won one game this year.

So they're one in five. I feel like that Van Buren quarterback, like those guys, they're going to get somebody here. I think they play Arkansas this weekend. They're, they're better in the record says they are. I think they're actually pretty decent team. So I think historically Mississippi state, I've said this as dad, I've always said this,

but I think, I think the Gamecocks most closely align with Mississippi State and NC State and not because both in in state, but because like historically have never been good. Like you can't mess around. And like that's like who the Gamecocks are. And I know like Spurrier, we had like 311 one seasons in a row, like had some good years, but it's like, I mean, you can't sleep on Vanderbilt now this year, but there are teams historically, historically you can, you're like, and I feel like every time we've played Mississippi state, I'm like, Oh man,

like you don't look forward to going there. Yeah. Yeah. Well, there's like, it's like a way it's like a loss loss. Like, like, like if you win, you're like, well, cool. We beat Mississippi state, but also they could punch you in the face and beat you. And, uh, no. So I, yeah, I liked that. I was a little, uh, perturbed when you messaged and said, I'm trying to like still beat Mississippi state. And my parents were here and I was sitting there holding the baby as a dad and, um, and I was watching Tennessee, Alabama and I backed out of it. And I went to the game and you guys were up by like 10 or 14 and you had the ball and I was like, what's he stressed about? Like, you got this game. Like you were never really scared about losing. You want to beat the brakes off them,

but was there a time where you thought you were losing? There was a point in time, I think it was early in the fourth quarter, it was like a one score game. It was a touchdown, we were touchdown ahead. And like Mississippi State like got the ball and then they like did a fake punt. They just, they did some really weird stuff and just,

then we scored, we scored a field goal, we were 10 points up with like four or five minutes left. And I was stuff and just, then we scored, we scored a field goal. We were 10 points up with like four or five minutes left. And I was like, okay, I'm like, I feel like we got this now. So, but yeah, there was a little bit there. I'm like, this is, I could see us losing this game because there's just way too close. But now we'll say the other man, the other takeaway watching Georgia be down on Texas. One that just made me happy. It made me happy in my soul.

Yeah. But dude, did you see the, did you watch that game? I did, yeah. Did you see the call in the second half? Well, when I watched it, it was October 38th. Yeah. So I'm a little out of it, but no, no, I did. I did see the flag and then, and then they threw all the cans on the field.

Throwing the trash. No, they didn't throw a flag. They didn't throw a flag. No, they didn't throw a flag. Texas fans went crazy. And the only reason I remember this is because I tweeted at Stephen Garcia and I was like, the fans always have a vote. So they didn't throw a flag. The Texas fans went crazy. The coach is trying to get the fans like, you know, stop, stop doing this, whatever they were

fine to $50,000. And then they threw a flag. So they got the call like really late. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. That's the sequence, but I can't, was the call pass interference or I can't remember. I see what I thought happened is Texas intercepted it. And then they threw a flag and said that it was defensive pass interference. And so then they took it away and then they picked up the flag and Texas got it like with like in their 15, like on their side of the ball. It's regardless, there was a flag, there was some sort of penalty or not penalty. And then they threw a hissy fit and then they overturned whatever the call was. Because of the hissy fit. That's what matters.

Yeah. And then so the texts got fine. And now they're going through and just like sending students text messages saying, Hey, you lost your season tickets the rest of the year. Really? Yeah. Which I think is like, as much as I don't like Texas, that's a bit harsh. Yeah.

You can't actually saw Liberty's horns off. Yeah. Or varsity, sorry, varsity. You know what I mean. Liberty. You cannot. The Statue of Liberty? No, why doue of Liberty,

wait, why do they call him varsity when his name's Bevo? Why is his name Bevo? Bevo. Bevo came later. He, yeah, he got named later. So A&M beat them like 13 to zero. And then they, A&M students went and branded 13 to zero on the side of the mascot. And then they just, then they just changed the name to Bevo. They changed the brand. That's pretty that's pretty awful by them. Yeah, yeah, we do. Yeah, we do.

I would say there's one thing I loved the A&M getting out of Mississippi State, I was excited about. And then the Texas Georgia made Georgia look good. I don't know where they've been like that all year. That defense was offense was wasn't Georgia, Maine, Georgia was good. I don't know where they've been like that all year. That defense was offense was, wasn't great, but their defense was phenomenal. Yeah. Yeah. Those are my two takeaways. All right, Jeff, what's your two takeaways? The first one, shout out to the troops. You got Navy and army in the top 25. Shout out to the troops. People are finally realizing

that the troops are worth supporting. So we're supporting them by getting them in the top 25. Shout out to the troops. People are finally realizing that the troops are worth supporting. So we're supporting them by getting them in the top 25. That's my first takeaway. OK, that's kind of combine it. And then also shout out to the Mormons, right? BYU, staying undefeated. So a lot of Oklahoma State fans in town, but I'll go see if any is left.

Sad tough loss for them. See what happens. home state fans in town. A lot of home state fans left sad, had a tough loss for them, but we'll see what happens. And then just watching Auburn do their classic Auburn things. BYU and Iowa State are coming together at some point in time, two undefeated teams in big 12. This is going to be a fun game to watch. It's big 12, which has like eight teams, right? Something like that.

I know they got a lot. They coach 70 teams. Yeah. Yeah know they got a lot. They like, they have like coach 70 teams. Yeah. Yeah. They got a ton. Uh, my two takeaways were, it was Saturday. We were going to get discharged and I thought, Oh, we'll be home in time to turn on the game. God game. We weren't the discharge process takes a long time. So I ended up turning the game on and I'm actually holding Isabella and the hotel for whatever reason or hotel, hospital didn't have sec network. So I'm watching on the phone and

it's like interception touchdown, fumbled touchdown, interception touchdown. And like literally I'm holding her. She's looking at it. I'm like, this is not game cock football. Like I have to tell you now, like this is not game cock football. That's the only game cock she knows. That's the only one she knows. And I'm not going to remember this. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely not going to remember it. But so, so, so he beat the brakes off them. So that was cool. I still think, I don't still think, I now think, I think we have a good team. I don't know that we're going to like, I don't know what we'll end up, but I really think we can play with anybody. Right. Okay. I would agree. Yeah. We can play with anybody. Yeah. We're going to win some, we're going to lose some, but like we can, we can play with anyone. So that's cool. Second takeaway Citadel played VMI. It's the game

for the silver Shaco. It's the most, most popular sporting event. Yeah. It's like, it is what it is. And we want 13, 10. We're now three a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had a, we had beat them like 45 to seven. And if you looked at like everyone they've played, it we've played, I was like, Oh, we're going to crush them. And it was like down to the wire. And the most, most exciting team in sports, but the Citadel one, uh, 13 10 and my boys, the buffs still cranking, still cranking. So, uh, go Dion.

I texted you, they posted the, uh, I know South Carolina is on a buy this weekend, but they posted the game time for the South Carolina A&M. Oh. I said, I'm not looking forward to it, man. We got LSU this weekend, big game. And then we go to South Carolina and it's either at 6.30 PM or 6.45 PM. I don't know.

So it's one of the two. In South Carolina, we just call that nighttime. Yeah. So I'm not looking forward to a night game. Yeah. William Bryce stadium from the South. It's gonna be rocking. Um, yeah. LSU man. Hoof. And in quarterback said William Bryce is the hardest place he's ever played. Hmm. That's what I've always said.

Has he dad? I've always said that. Thank you, Jeff. Yeah. Yeah. No, he's looking good, man. We'll see how it goes. Okay.

Have you a fun weekend looking forward to the top 12 review? Yeah, hit it. Okay. Number 12. We're just doing who's staying, who's going, right? Yeah. Who do you think is for real? Who's pretending?

I stayed to be out, but they keep failing me. Good. Right. Number 12, Notre Dame out. Yeah. I don't know. They're ended, but maybe this weekend. I think so.

Done. Maybe wins. Right now by 14. Hey, are you supporting the troops? Are you supporting the troops? I'm here for the troops. Yeah. Navy wins that game. Army Navy championship. Wow. I'm here for it. I'm here for the troops. The fear, fear, the fear, long live the beer. Maybe it's fun to watch I'll say that Number 11 B why you I

Think they're in things up to Yeah, uh 442 Yeah, I'll say they're in Cuz I think they'll lose I think they'll lose one game to Iowa State. Say got both their schedule real quick.

They got to play. They're at Utah. That's a big game. Although Utah kind of camera part of the year. Yeah, Zach Wilson's brother is the quarterback now for Utah. Brian. But they would have to play Iowa state in the, in the champion of conference, champion championship. I think they'll lose that game. I think they'll go undefeated till then. Okay. Okay. Okay. Number 10, Iowa state. I think they're going to get a buy. I think they're going to win the big 12.

I had to hang on schedule. Oh, go ahead, Jeff. Who they play. Wasn't they to hang on this weekend, right? Or come back against like central Florida. UCF. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I came back late. Your boy, the old Gus bus. Get on it. Get that vest on, put on some glasses. Get me a win. Google me. I have a hard time thinking Iowa state's going to make it. Um, who are they losing to? Texas tech. No. Yes.

Okay. L lose Texas Tech. Somebody's losing, and they're losing to Kansas State. They're losing Texas Tech and Kansas State. And Utah. And Utah. I like it too. They put a lot of faith in Utah, man. Some of that home cooking up there.

That Mormon theology is hard to argue with sometimes. Remind me to talk about the Baptist casserole train at the end. That Mormon theology is hard to argue with sometimes. Oh, remind me to talk about the Baptist casserole train at the end. Yeah, good. Yeah. Mormons, Baptists, they all go together. Yeah. Yeah. It's my tomato, right?

Peas in a pod. Number 10 or number nine, Clemson. They're in. The only thing that could have been better about Isabelle's birth besides Clemson or besides South Carolina winning, Citadel winning, Alabama losing. It's like if something bad happened to Clemson and they just steamrolled. Like their bus broke down and they had to forfeit the game. I was going to go further, but I shouldn't leave it there. Yeah. Yeah. Their, their bus broke down some minor inconvenience. Yeah.

I think they're in, I think they're in the top 12. Yeah. I think they'll beat Miami in the champion. I think they'll lose the game Cox. Yeah You got to go, you know, and then the game cocks at the end of their season. I got two chances. I got two chances to be happy. All right. Long live the beer. Yeah, those are my only two. Yeah, that's it. Besides, besides the baby sleeping.

Yeah, too, too. Oh, my gosh. Number eight is LSU. Now, man, they're out too. It's tough in the SEC. Like I think they're kind of pretending. Okay. So let's take a slight pause. And as all SEC guys, we think two, three SEC teams are in the playoffs. Two. For those that aren't watching on YouTube, go watch on YouTube. You're going to see my cat.

You'll get to up our views because we need some views and subscribers. So if you're not watching YouTube, go watch, subscribe to the channel. Jeff said too with his fingers. I tend to agree. And I think Georgia and Tennessee are probably the shoe ends. But then I think you have LSU, Texas A&M, right? There's other, I don't know. I don't know that it's two, I guess is what it like. My mind defaults to two, but my mind also defaults to a smaller playoff picture.

And as always, I'm like, every time we put in Liberty, once Jeremy went there, my oldest brother shout out Liberty jury, follow our RIP. All the horns off. Yeah. So I've always said as a Baptist from South Carolina trying to solve liberties horn. But, but every time we put it in a team like that from a random conference to do terrible. And I'm like, you should have put in nine and three game cocks. Like they played a better game or whoever. Right? So one group of five is going to make it. They have a, like it's guaranteed. What is? Yeah. Is it like a gang of four in the Senate or like? I was looking at it like the

so like Boise State or, you know, the whoever wins that I think will is the going to make the playoffs? I think he got reworked when the Pac 12 went away or I don't know. I remember like looking back at like the playoff like. I don't know what you want to call it, guidelines.

I didn't necessarily see that spelled out explicitly. From my understanding, the rules are the winner of each conference gets a first round buy, right? And so then that's the ACC. The Pac-12 is out. They don't count. So yeah, the ACC will get a buy. Whoever wins that, the SEC will get a buy. The Big 12 will get a buy and the big 10 will get a buy. Right. And then you have the, I think the group of five then is in, whoever wins that will have to play the first round. I feel like I heard that somewhere. Probably from Pat McAfee. That's probably it.

Yeah. But going back to LSU, like, dude, they're scheduled. LSU? They got A&M, Alabama, Florida, Vanderbilt, Oklahoma is the rest of their schedule. Are they at Florida? Yeah, at Florida, at A&M. Big robbery. At home for the rest of them. So like, I think that's a tough close out.

Come on, Sooners? Last time Trey saw the Sooners get beat down was last week. That's a good time. Sweet, yeah, Posts, now it's called Posts. My bad, yeah. X for my new Twitter. Yeah. All right, continue. Yeah, I don't want the SEC pause. Uh, North Denver seven is, uh, Tennessee.

Man, I'm about to make win. Love Michael Buckley. Love and term, eat company. He was just on the Yeoman podcast. Jeff Graham, member of the Slack channel. If you're not a member of the Slack channel, you should be in coming and talk a lot about lifting, but you also get access to people that have done a lot of things. Guy developed one of the bigger developments in Charleston, South Carolina called Ion. Really smart guy. He's got a podcast called the Yeoman podcast. He just had Michael Buckley onley and Michael Buckley hails from Tennessee. That being said, that being said, I, I think they're out. I thought like, I, I think they've had a lot of close breaks. Um, and because I like Michael, I pull for him, but I I'm

like, I don't think this is real. Uh, I think they're very good. They're way better than the game cocks. Like they're a really good team, but what's the rest of their schedule look like, Jeff? They have to play in Georgia, right? Yeah, Kentucky, Mississippi State, both at home. And then they're at Georgia, University of Texas, El Paso. And then it closed out with Vanderbilt. The miners.

Hey, they're probably not gonna lose to Georgia is what I think. So they, That's two offices. Yeah. They might, they might slip up against Kentucky or Mississippi state and then Vanderbilt, that's not, that's not a gimme anymore. Yeah, that's not a gimme. Um, probably yes. I think Tennessee's out. Yeah. I think they're out too. Um, I will say when you're watching on TV and I've been there in person in Knoxville and I don't like to give other schools

credit when they play Rocky top, it's so awesome. It is great. Like it is like it's, it's, it's, it's awesome. I went there when the Gamecocks beat him on Halloween, which was amazing. And we got to say last in the S C C because they were, uh, under Derek Dooley. But, um, yeah, it is cool. And it's cool on TV, which is like an element that matters if you're talking about a cool experience, but anyway, all right, continue number seven. Okay. Miami. And, uh, I guess in. That matters if you're talking about a cool experience. But anyway, all right, continue. Number seven.

Okay. Miami. And I guess in. But like, okay, there's so they do not have one looking at their schedule. No one on their schedule is currently ranked. Yeah, no one asked that FSU, Duke, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, Syracuse. And then looking back at the teams they beat, like none of them are currently ranked either. Or like maybe even it was.

Yeah, they were. But Louisville. They barely survived that one. I don't think Miami is actually good, but I don't know. I don't know. No, they are. They are. But they've almost lost.

I don't know Miami's actually good, but I don't know. I don't know. No, they're almost, they're going to get it. They are, but they've almost lost. I don't know how many games. Yeah, they're in the ACC. I feel like if you have an undefeated ACC team, they're going to be in. They'll lose to Clemson in the championship. After South Carolina beats Clemson. I do think Clemson is better than Miami? See, I'll be curious. If South Carolina beats Clemson, very possible, then they lose. That would have them at two losses because they lost to Georgia at the beginning of the

year. Yeah. I'd be curious then if Miami beats them in the championship, Clemson's out. So then that's only one ACC team. So then that would open the door for another SEC team. So then, then you could say Tennessee could be in at that point with it having two losses. College football.

Got to love it. This is going to get really interesting. Let's see moving on. We got Texas at number five. I think they're in. Tell them what to do, Trey. Tell them why to go to YouTube. What am I doing? Yo, horns down, baby. That's a 15 yard belly. Although you got to light Pat McAfee for singing the stars at night or the eyes of Texas are upon you. Like I know you hate Texas. Like I hate Clemson. Oh dude. He gets that any fan base worked up. Dude, he gets them worked up. It's so good. Like he's going to Indiana this week. I'm curious if he can get there. It's his hometown,

right? No, he's from West Virginia, right? No, I think he's from Indiana. I don't know. I don't know. Played at Ohio State, right? No, West Virginia. Played at West Virginia. He's from West Virginia, right? No, I think he's from Indiana. Played at Ohio State, right? No, West Virginia. Played at West Virginia. He's from Indiana. I have no idea where he played the pros. I just know when he stands on the chair and like, oh, he played. Yeah. Indianapolis. Yeah. Yeah. It's all liberties horns off. That's what I've always said. All right. So we think that as a dad, as a dad, we would on number four, Ohio state, the Ohio state they're in, they're in. They're not, I don't think they're losing again.

I don't think so either. Uh, Penn state or, I want them to be out so bad. Same. I like it. Y'all just don't like Penn State. No, I'd rather army or Navy be in. I feel like it's the same. Like, like, like I'm here for the troops. But I guess Penn State's who's left on their schedule. They go at Wisconsin, Ohio State, Washington, Purdue, Minnesota, Maryland. And then so they got to be a state. The one loss that's their game. Their game is Ohio state.

So but they'll have one loss and then they're going to skip. They won't have to play in the championship. You know what I mean? So they'll have one loss and then I get it's going to be, I think it's going to be an Ohio state, Oregon rematch in the big 10 championship. And then I would assume Oregon wins that again. So you got a two loss Ohio state. Okay. But I think then you still put, I don't know, like it's going to be weird sounding, but like, shouldn't you then still put Ohio state

in this is they only lost to Oregon. No, they got to the championship game. Yeah. We'll still be in at two losses. And then you're going to have Oregon, Ohio State and Penn State in, I think you'll have, I think you have three big 10 teams. I think you have three sec teams. I think you have three big 10 teams. I think you have two ACC teams. One from the Southern conference to Citadel. You'll have one from the big 12. So that's nine. And then you have a Notre Dame.

That's 10. You'll have, I think you'll have Boise state because I think they beat UNLV on Friday. It's going to be an awesome game to watch. Can't wait. Love 24 hour ops. they beat UNLV on Friday. It's going to be an awesome game to watch. Can't wait. Love 24 hour ops. So then you got, so then you just have one other spot who it could be Tennessee. You could have fourth SEC. I don't know. All right. Two one, two one, two one. All right. All right. We got a number two, Georgia and number one Oregon.

And yeah, but it doesn't seem weird that Oregon's number one. Does that seem accurate to you guys? Who'd you put ahead of them? Probably Georgia with a loss. So like in the AP poll, I don't know, the undefeated I guess carries more weight than the strength of the schedule. But I think whenever the- So then we should put Navy there. Whenever the playoff committee comes around,

I bet you could see, I bet you might see Georgia at number one. Yeah. Gotta be fun. Gotta be fun. Got to be fun. Yeah. So Oregon plays Illinois next. That's, that's a big game this weekend and they're at Michigan. The ugliest uniforms that Graham loved. Oh, is that the,

is that the leather helmets? That was Illinois. Yeah. I didn't say I loved it. I just thought it was interesting. Like I like old school stuff and I thought it was done well. It did look cool. I thought they did a good job in terms of making the helmet look like leather. I can't even picture the rest of their uniforms, but I thought like I thought the idea was cool and I thought it looked better than I anticipated. Like it did actually kind of look like a leather helmet. Not when you saw the close up pics, you can tell it's airbrushed, but like I turn the game when the game's on, it looks like there were in leather helmets. And I thought it was cool.

I like those guys. Yeah. Yeah. Jeff, if you're Illinois, like what else can you do? It's like, yeah, yeah. It was cool. Yeah. I saw something where like it took like two hours to do each of those helmets or something like that. Geez. Unless it was like done by hand.

They took that money and hired a starting strength coach for the O-line. Probably be in the top 12. Hey, look up, before we move on to college football, what's Indiana's Romanian schedule look like? Ooh, excellent question, Tray. Excellent. Oh gosh. Because I want to see if and when they're going to lose.

I'm starting to hop on that bandwagon. Ooh, okay Indiana, Indiana, there we are. 7-0, they got... Jeff's not even looking. Okay, Washington. are seven and oh they got Washington we play Washington this weekend you like the camera Jeff oh my gosh if you're not watching on YouTube subscribe it's great cat cat content college football contents at the same time. Yeah, it's amazing. It's amazing. I continue the rundown. OK, Washington and then at Michigan State, Michigan at home

at Ohio State and then Purdue to close it out. Dude, they could go. They could go 11 and one. Ew, that could be cool. I don't know. Michigan State's looking all right. That's the only one that, Wisconsin's not bad, Luke Fickle, but yeah, I don't know. I think they could go 11 and one.

It could be fun. There's a couple of things that matter. Auburn's gonna win out. South Carolina's gonna win out. And Texas A&M is weird. I think that wraps it up, college football. That wraps up college football. Yeah, that going to win out. South Carolina is going to win out. And Texas A&M is weird. I think that wraps it up. College football. Yeah, that wraps up college football. Jeff, tell us about this Utah hockey club. Oh my gosh.

Playing the Boston Bruins. Yeah. And I had BW Tax message me and he said, dude, I didn't realize the other guys ran the Instagram. And I said, oh yeah, they're big on Instagram. He's like, so they like help you. I was like all the time constantly on the okay podcast Instagram. They're helping me out. They're posting stuff. Yeah. Yeah. They're thinking about stuff. So I'm going to text you guys both the password after this. You have no excuses. Um, that's what

I've always done as a dad, which is tough to do against tall grass. So it's good. Dude. Yeah. That's why I didn't really see any of like the Texas, Georgia game. It's kind of decided on a whim that, you know, it's going to get basically out of town for a week. Kaylee and I wanted to do something fun on Saturdays. We said, Oh, Kaylee and I wanted to do something fun on Saturdays. We said, Oh, you doggy clubs in town. They're playing the Boston Bruins, hop on SeatGeek potential sponsor. They sponsor other podcasts. I'm sure they're just getting to ours eventually. It's tough. I've been telling Troy from Utah, no, for a long time. He runs the SeatGeek there in Utah and he's just always messaging me. Like it's a local guy.

Yeah. He's like, Hey man, it's Troy. I'm Mormon. I have four wives. I'm like cool. I have a small family owned company, Seat Geek. So we hop on there. We find some seats that can see both goals because that's a consideration because the

Delta Center where they play was not built with hockey hockey rink in mind So there's like certain seats like in the upper bowl There's like if we had been like four rows back. We would only be able to see one of the goals So we found some seats there Yeah, and like we kind of couldn't see one of the corners So like when the players like with puck go to that corner you could kind of like I don't know what's happening Like I hope I hope our team comes out with it. And yeah, so it was kind of fun.

So yeah. So many Bruins fans. Yeah. So many Bruins fans. Yeah. Mostly Bruins fans. I'd say like 60 40 probably like nice. Yeah.

60% Utah 40 or maybe like 39% Bruins fans and then 1% Phoenix Coyotes holdovers. What were you wearing? Were you just wearing Patagonia? I was wearing like a light blue. So like the colors are like light blue, white and black. So like we just wore like light blue. So and you wanted Utah to win, right? Like I take no offense here, but like, yeah, you're like home hometown team, right? Yeah, yeah, we're going. I think I think a new team is it's cool.

It is fun when you go to the Bruins. It's also discouraging when you go to a New York team, right? Like like they just like major cities just carry fans and especially. And I'm, I'm curious what it's like as the generations continue because like us, we can track back, right? Like my great grandfather Ellis Island, a great grandmother, Ellis Island, one from

Italy, one from Ireland. It's like you can track back and like, where did everyone go? East coast into those hubs. And so it affects like Pittsburgh, same thing, bunch of work. And I'm just curious as like time and technology changes, like right now you have these like big teams that everyone loves and there's like a history of like why they like it.

But yeah, no, that's fun for the hometown team, but it's, but it's cool. Like every time I went to ducks, sharks, Kings verse Bruins, there was always like, it felt like more Bruins fans. Maybe it wasn't, but I was like, Oh yeah. Yeah. Like we got this, but California is weird because it's so nice outside. What would you go to a sporting event? True. But yeah, it was like every Bruins fan had on a Bruins Jersey. So it was like very easy to identify them. Whereas like, no Utah hockey club fans were wearing like the jerseys.

Cause I guess they haven't, they haven't released them yet. Which I'm like, wait, what are they waiting for? But I guess they also like know that the team name is going to change at some point, like within the year. So it's like they pride. I don't, yeah. So there's probably better not. I like Utah hockey club too. It's almost like funny if a club team is kicking your butt like it's almost better

It's just like a group of guys from the YMCA got together is D club hockey team plays. Yeah Let's see Let's see. That's a commemorative vinyl albums. I feel like this is going to get some good discussion going. I think we've talked before of me being on duty and buying a Jack White album, thinking about my doorbell. What album is that?

Give By Me Satan. It's not doorbell. Give By Me Satan. Yeah, Give By Me Satan. And I bought like the, I won't tell the listeners what it costs because it's, it's definitely less than sponsorship. I'll tell you that much, but it wasn't cheap. And but it had like a red album.

Right. And so Midland, I know Trey, you're not a big Midland fan. I like Midland. You're not, not a fan, but you don't like, yeah. I like them a lot. And so they came out with barely blue. And the second I could buy the vinyl, I bought it. And there was like, I don't know. I don't know the number. I could say 500. I can say a thousand doesn't matter. But there was a limited edition of the gold album and I didn't pay anything extra.

I paid like 39.99 for the album. And I bought it like, yeah, I bought it like two months before the album released. So then the album release, Diane and I really liked it. We liked the song, Lucky Sometimes, Barely Blue, Old Fashioned Feeling, like those are probably our favorites. And it finally came and it's like gold, but you can kind of see through it. And I was like, I really like these vinyl albums where they do like a limited release, you know, like whatever it is, like

get behind me statement. It's red. It's cool. Chris Stapleton, higher. I have a commemorative edition. But this, this new one that came in, like you can kind of see through it when you like hold it up to the light. Yeah, I don't know. I think I'm a big vinyl guy. We all are. But yeah, I think when they do something cool to the record itself, and I also wonder like what that cost them, you know, like if you called me tomorrow, we're like, can you make my plates

cast iron pink? I could. Yeah, no, I could. But like, it probably wouldn't be worth it. And like, I bought this album for the same price. If you went now, I think the gold one's gone, right? I think if you bought it now, it's just black, but it's also $39.99. So like, does it cost like, I don't know. I just thought it was interesting how they do that and what that costs. And the Jack White one. Oh yeah. What was that album called? The newest one? No name. No, no name. No name. No name. Yeah. Like that one's like, uh, commemorative or whatever the version I have. And I have the Kanye West one, like the Jesus album. It's like blue. And then like they changed it back to black after like so many, uh, I don't know. It's just like, it's probably just a sales pitch,

but I like when I like have the, the thing. It's cool. I don't know but I like when I have the thing. It's cool. I don't know. I feel like part of the reason you buy Vinyl's is because one, it sounds cool, but then you buy for the album artwork, man. That's half the battle right there, I think. So if you get some special. Yeah, no, no, no. I am like, when, like I, when we brought Isabella home, I pulled out a Conway Twitty album

and it has like the Conway Twitty, uh, poster in it. Yeah. And I pulled it out and I was like, this is cool. This is the first thing she's listened to Conway Twitty. Good head of hair. Yeah. Away Twitty. Good head of hair. Yeah. A lot of hair, a lot of hair. But no, I don't, I think it's worth the price. I mean, it's like, depreciate. I mean, not if I sell them to you.

Or just give them to Jeff. That's what I do with the most. Just throw them away and let Andy find them. Shout out Andy. I bus one of the troops out there just grinding it out in the reserves. You got RSV. What's going on with your tray? Hey, stay safe. Stay safe.

Stay safe. Stop the spread. Stop the spread. Two weeks. It's gonna take two weeks. Yeah. Two safe. Stay safe. Stop the spread. Stop the spread. Okay. Two weeks. It's going to take two weeks. Yeah. Two weeks. Two weeks. Yeah. What else you got Jeff? Anything else on the slide? Talked about that.

Trump at McDonald's. I feel like I saw a picture of this. I don't know if I saw anything more than that. He was at McDonald's. What's the backstory? Did you see any of that Trey? Yeah, I saw the like some of the pictures from it. What'd you think? As far as like campaign move, I thought that was brilliant. I thought that was very, very well timed, man. Like it was good press. I thought it was hilarious. I guess Kamala made a comment about like she used to work at McDonald's and his campaign looked up that she never worked at McDonald's.

So, yes, not even like, I don't even care politically. What I actually thought from what was like, this guy is such like a showman. And like, it was funny to me that like, people thought the people coming through the drive-through were real customers. I'm like, do you understand the amount of security to be in the car to come through the drive-through? I don't know. Unless you're in Pennsylvania giving a speech. Yeah. Anyway, I just thought it was really funny as a dad against tall grass. I just thought the McDonald's thing, because it's so American to eat McDonald's. I just thought it was, I just thought it was hilarious. Like I just like, I think Donald's good window. Yeah.

Hilarious. Hilarious. Anyway. Okay. Okay. We got anything else on the slide deck? How's dad's strength treating you? Great.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Anyway, okay. Okay. We got anything else on the slide deck? How's dad strength treating you, Grant?

Oh yeah, so. You got dad strength now. Yeah, I got all that dad strength. Opened a pill jar. It's been holding me back. Now you can really get strong. I will say what I've always said as a dad. But I understand why people don't do this after they've had a child. I totally get it. You don't want to leave home. Your wife just

had a baby. You want to help your wife. And you feel really bad because you didn't really do anything. She did something and you did nothing. And then didn't really do anything, right? She did something and you did nothing. And then you want to be like, I have to go to the gym and she can't even think about the gym. So I'm at a little bit of an advantage because what I do for work is gym related. But I did make some changes. So the gym we have here in South Carolina is a 10 minute drive for me. The apartment we

live in, we have one parking spot. So I parked my 97 Chevy like down the road at BW tax, which is like a eight minute walk. So if you want to go to the gym, you walk eight minutes, you get in the truck, you drive 10 minutes, it's like 20 minutes until you're inside and then you do the thing. And I started thinking about it. I thought this isn't going to work. I mean, it would work.

I could make it work, but I wouldn't be happy about it. And all my workouts would be rushed. So there's any time fitness, like two blocks away, like literally two blocks away, you can walk there. And they just installed a deadlift platform. So I went in there and I signed up. And yeah, I've worked out twice. So I worked out Tuesday, contractions started Wednesday.

We labored all day Thursday. We had the baby Friday morning, got home Saturday, and I went in Sunday and I squatted only heavy. And then I went in today and I pressed and I deadlifted and removing the commute was like super helpful. And there's a lot of things. And like most guys that listen to this podcast, which is my mother, so most women that listen to this podcast, but they'll understand there's a lot going on and you feel bad leaving, but removing the commute actually is a lot, even if my commute's kind of short.

And I could always just, especially right now, like my wife just had a baby, I could just take our car that's parked right here and drive there. But 10 minutes on either side is even a lot. And so now I can grab my bag and I can go and lift. But the same way that I tell my wife, like, hey, walk out onto the porch, get some sunlight. You need to see Earth. You also have to recover. You just did this thing, but you need to do stuff. Even for me, I'm like, that's one of the things for me. I'm like, I need to lift. For me, I feel better if I do. Like more mid-twee.

Yeah. Not to be all Evan the card guy all about mental health, but in all seriousness, I need to go lift. I feel better if I do that. And so, um, yeah, if you can have a home gym, I think that's ideal, right? If you can remove any barrier, like any kind of commute, you know, whatever. So, so yeah, I joined over there, which was cool. The guys there are cool. So I'm by a Marine. He was a calm guy, a SIGINT and, uh, he owns the gym and the guy that I've talked to before has told me like, Oh, you got to meet the owner. He was a Marine. And so I'm kind of like picturing like, I don't know, someone older than me, whatever. And so the guy calls me today. He's

like, Hey, I heard you come by the gym. Like you own the shrink code. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, we're talking. I'm like, so when did you serve? He's like, Oh, I went in in 2019. Oh, he just got out. So he did this for your terminal, right? And, uh, but yeah, he's, he's purchased some bumper plates. So he's been bumper plates in his gym, uh, for the deadlift area. So that'll be good. Cause lifting other plates is not fun. And then hopefully we're going to mount some cast iron for the rest of it. But, but yeah, no, it's been good.

I mean, I don't know. I go in and I try to do something relatively hard and like some backoffs like today I went in and I was like, I haven't pressed in a while. I need to press. And so I was warming up. I was like, I feel pretty good. I should press 225. So I pressed 225. I have the new iPhone. I put it on a tripod. I put it to record. I hit a set of five for my first set. And my plan was to do 225 for five and back down and do two back-off sets. I was like, let me hit one really hard set and then come back. And rep five was like a total grind. So I finished, I went to my phone and like, I had never turned

it on like to record. So I was like, well, I guess I need to do a second set of 225. So I decided like five, four, three at 225. Then went down to like 205, did two back off sets, but it also just like, it doesn't matter. It just felt good to go into the gym. Um, but yeah, dad's strength is real. It's unlocked and you're like, I got a finite amount of time. We got to make it count and, uh, head tray. You gotta get back in there. Get after it. Yeah. Sooner than later. Yeah. One day at a time. That's what I've always said as a dad against all the S yeah. Yeah. I've always said that actually. You're lifting and supporting the troops with a veteran gym, just supporting the troops baby. As podcast is all about big, big go Navy rooting for army, honestly, which is weird. I should take a sec. Speaking of

supporting the troops, we got the Turkey pole, the strength of Turkey pole coming up in November. If you're in California, Washington, Oregon, maybe you're a Ducks fan, you're in Nevada. Hey, you're in Utah and you really want to support the troops and you got a short drive. You can go to Southern California, Newport beach. We do a little deadlift competition. We got about 50 lifters signed up so far. You can come in a super laid back. You'll only be nervous. You can, you know, you'll deadlift and then a 50 year old woman will deadlift after you. It's a very laid back deal and we do it for the Semper Fi and America's Fund and we can have a big check at the end. So if you buy to go do it in person, your money is not going to me. It's not going to

my baby. It's not going to my wife. It's not going to the okay podcast. It's going to the Semper Fi and America's Fund, which is fun. Like probably one of the most fun things we do every year is like hand the check over to them and give them big donation. But you can also participate online. It's 35 bucks online. You get a t-shirt, you get entered to win plates. You have a shot at some iron plates as well as some bumpers. And any proceeds we make, we put it into that check. So the Turkey Pull goes on November the 23rd that check. So the Turkey poll goes on November the 23rd in California. We'll open it up for 10 days online. You just have to hashtag Turkey poll tag the strength co. We'll grab your username. We throw them in an Excel sheet and we do a little app thingy my Bob that tells us a winner and you'll win some stuff, but a cool opportunity to support the troops, if you will.

The Semper Fi and America's Fund is more than just like the troops that are serving. It's the families. It's the people that have come back with injuries. It's not just the Marine Corps, it's everything now. It is kind of. And I have a new understanding for it. I've always been a fan. It was started by like nine Marine moms that their sons were all deployed in Iraq in 04. They just hit 20 years and they sat around the table and there were the boys and they started the fun. But now even like as a guy that's going to deploy, it's like, wow, like it's actually a lot on the fun. But now even like as, you know, a guy that's gonna deploy,

it's like, wow, like it's actually a lot on the spouse. It's a lot on the baby. And so they support all that with food and different kinds of stuff. So it's cool. So join the Turkey poll. You can go to the strength.co click apparel. First option there is Turkey poll.

You can buy that t-shirt and support or you can go to gems.thestrength.co and purchase the in-person one. But yeah, turkey poll coming up quick. Yeah. Dude, see yours flown by, man. Flown by, flying by. Like a turkey. Like a turkey. That's what they do. They roost. I remember turkey hunting in Beaufort, South

Carolina, where I'm from. I wasn't manufactured there, but I'm from there. And I remember going to Turkey the first time. I was like, yeah, low country. It's not the upstate where I live now. It's the low country. And I was, I was turkey hunting with Bert Schifflett. And it was kind of like, say a great guy, not very good at taxes, but good at hunting. Don't tell the IRS. Yeah. If you want tax advice, call BW. If you want hunting advice, call Bert. But he would always, you know, like, have you turkey in an all tray? I've done it once.

So you want to get the turkeys out of the roost. So you go when the, when the gobblers are sleeping. So it's early in the morning. There's also another strategy that we do in the low country, different than the upstate, where you do the crow calls when they're like down on the ground. But in the morning, they're in the roost. And so you pretend to be a hoot owl. And so there's a bunch of calls you can buy to pretend to be a hoot owl. And you get them to break the roost. So they'll gobble and they'll come

to the ground. And then you pretend to be a hen and call them in. But I remember Burt would tell me, you don't need to buy a call. You just need to say, who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all? And I'm like, wait, what? And he's like, who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all? And then Turkey like gobbled like immediately. And I did it terribly just now. But then the Turkey gobbled comes down. So I'm a big turkeys. Those turkeys. I got to say with that, speaking of who cooks for you, man, it's great to be a Baptist when you have a baby. I know you're Mormon, Jeff, but yeah, super Mormon. I know your method is tray, but when you're a Baptist and you have a baby, brother, the meal trains won't stop. Like I'm going to be 300 pounds at the end of this. It's like they knock on the door, pushing chow. I'm from Brushy Creek

Baptist Church. I'm like, I'm from Brushy Creek Baptist Church. They're like meatloaf, broccolini, mashed potatoes, corn, ice cream. And we also have these cookies you can bake. And I'm like, great. Like when is the next person coming in three days? Like this will definitely hold me over three days. Three minutes. Tomorrow. Yeah. I'm about to say the next day. And the next day it's like broccoli and cheddar casserole. I'm like, this could feed 54 people. Like there's two of us and a baby.

The baby's not eating any of this. Yeah, the baby's not eating anything. So the meal trains are pumping over here. But it's cool. I feel like with our meal train, we had so many leftovers. We just, I think we invited some friends over and just did a potluck of just meal train leftovers just to get rid of them all.

So anything- So it's a potluck, but you don't bring anything. We will- Yeah, you don't bring anything. It's like a potluck. You're dead. They already brought it, trust us. It's my pot, your luck.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's wild. There's a lot of food. I should be squatting 600 by the end of the month. Any winners? What's the best one so far? I'm probably gonna go. You split up.

Yeah, I think that- Good main course, good dessert. Man, the meatloaf was pretty good. Okay, good meatloaf. Yeah, and also BW brought me a shepherd's pie. So BW, not even realizing that I have like the church at my beck and call brings me this gigantic shepherd's pie because he's like, I know Diana like shepherd's pie. Who does it? Yeah. I'm like, I like shepherd's pie. So shepherd's pie is up there. Yeah. I don't know. All I know is, man, I need a bigger freezer.

Well, this part of the show, what do we usually do? Bring it in for a landing. Yeah. Save rounds, alibis. Anybody? I'm actually, I'm going to that Cosm thing, watching the A&M LSU game. Nice. There's Saturday at 3 30. 6 30. 6 30.

He seems to worry. All right. Well, usually we have a guest on and when I say usually I would say maybe 15 or 42 times we've had a guest. We've played one ad read, but I feel like we should play another one. Harkening back. I like when we harken to the kind of the birth kind of the birthplace of the BW tax ad read. Thanks to our sponsor, BW tax. That's what I love. What I've always loved about BW tax is, uh, you know, you can be

And that's what the folks at BW Tax, that's their bread and butter. I mean, that's what they're known for and what they've come to be so excellent at. And that's why you can talk to them remotely, even if you're from some place in the sticks

like Western Northeast, South Dakota, you can still talk to a warm body at BW Tax. It's not a bot, it's not a chat GPT service. You know, it's real people there providing a real service. And that's what I love about them at BW tax dot BW tax LLC dot com. Yeah, that's what it was. I forget. But that's what I like. That's what I like about them. That was, can I say something? That brought a tear to my eye. Still does.
