All right. Welcome back to episode 045 of the OK Podcast powered by the Strength Co. The price of Bitcoin is $71,170. Today's date is November the 5th in the year of our Lord 2024. We are broadcasting live. You'll listen to this on Friday when the world will be over. From the upstate of South Carolina, we got Major Jeff Biggie joining us from a beautiful greater Mormon city of Salt Lake, Utah, a classic token Mormon.

And we got Trey Gottlich, father, dad, Texan, Tejano, son of the Alamo coming in from Frisco, Texas. And we're here because really there's nothing going on tonight. There's nothing to talk about. There's nothing on the TV. There's nothing to worry about. This country has been around since 1776.

I can promise you to probably be here tomorrow. Good chance. But yeah, there's a good chance. So when you listen to this on Friday, we probably still won't know who the president of the United States is. So if you stay up all night, just know that we did not. We podcasted as usual, the show goes on,

but we're happy to be here. I forgot how to do the block height. Um, let hurricane Helene really, really mess me up. So I don't know what the block height is. We will. Yeah. Yeah. We, we shout out to, uh, Zach Copley either way. Uh, and then before we get started here, so I'm wearing the Turkey pole t-shirt from last year. The reason I know this is cause we miss printed it last year and we put the Strength Co on the right side, the right side. So not over the chest. But as I was watching the OK Podcast last week, when if you don't watch the OK Podcast on YouTube, you should go subscribe. It's like free money basically, if you're

a subscriber and you couldn't see my Strength Co logo. And I said, was that a misprint or was that God's providence? I'm gonna wear the Turkey Pull T-shirt from last year so that it's on the right side and not blocked by the microphone. But the Turkey Pull signups, if you haven't signed up, honestly, you're probably screwed. But I did print about 12 extra shirts.

So there's a chance, there's a chance you can still be in. Yeah. If you keep bringing a thousand dollars, we'll get you here. Yeah. Do you know, that's what I should do on Wednesday. I should just make the Turkey pull price $500 and I can just print t-shirts on demand. Someone might do it, pay for it too. That would be cool. I feel it. If you get one, that's great.

That's a win. Yeah, just get one. That's a win. That's a win. I mean, that's tough to do against tall grass. That's true. Yeah. Anyway, we got a slide deck.

We're happy you're listening. Thanks for listening. Thanks for our subscribers. Thanks for all the comments we've been getting on Spotify. I don't know what started it. Probably that episode I did on Theo Von the other week. People seemed to really like that. That's a joke.

It was not on Theo Von. We talked about Theo Von on the podcast. Did you create it by yourself? My favorite thing about election night is like all these obscure county talks. Like a hurricane rips through Western North Carolina. No one in the government does anything to help anybody. But like on election night, it's like, well, we got this county in Pennsylvania. It's on the outskirts of where Penn State is.

It's Williamsburg County. And a lot of the listeners there listen to Joe Rogan. And so we're wondering, it's just like, wait, what? Once every four years, I hear Loudoun County and Cook County. So I'm like, oh, those are big ones in Texas. There's a lot about the suburbs of Atlanta tonight. No, I feel like that's like in Virginia. My parents. Yeah, your parents, yeah, the suburbs, Marietta. Yeah, if you are rooting for someone in politics,

I just recommend you watch the other news, the news for the opposition on that night, because then it just keeps you based. So if you're a Republican, don't watch Fox. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, you got to watch CNN. You know, you got to watch CNN. I mean, I'm not a Republican or a Democrat. I'm an American. But like, if you want someone to win, you just, you've got to watch the news outlet of the other side because it's so much better, especially like as counties flip and go the way they don't, they're like freaking out and you're like, man, it's like, yeah, I don't want to hear

someone say it's a dude is on CNN Anderson Cooper. No, he looks like Anderson Cooper's like older brother who like does the map. You know what I'm talking about? Everyone's doing the map right now and it's like interactive, they're backing out and there's. Yeah, but he's he's honestly like he's the best. I think he's the best in the biz. Oh, I have any great grants out of here. I don't watch any. Oh, he's I said. Grant's like, have we used it?

And watch her. I'm out of here. Uh huh. Mm. But yeah, sorry about that. Were you offended when I said, see you then? Yeah. Yeah, you said CNN and I just ran. Just like black and it's like fast, as fast as I could.

What do we got? We got anything on the slide deck? I mean, do you want to? Well, there's like one. This is a real random way to start, but I like. I keep wanting to put in there and I keep forgetting. And I meant to bring it when we when we had your guys on dudes. Breathe right nose strips.

I love. Oh, yeah. Great. Going to use those bad boys on. Oh, okay. I'm a big fan. So it closes your nose or opens it? Opens it. Yeah. I mean, some people, some people tape their mouth shut at night.

I don't know. We're closing holes or opening doors. I mean, nice. You know, this helps. Uh, you know, it's like a kind of like plastic strip with adhesive on it. So you put it on and then kind of like pulls your nostrils open like a little bit more. Like, I don't think it's anything. Do you wear it throughout the day or is it just for when you sleep? Placido does. He wears his like nonstop.

He's a big fan. Yeah. Potential sponsor Yeah. Potential sponsor. He's right. No strips. OK, so you put him on at night and you are you doing it every night? Pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. OK. And you find out about it like an an Instagram ad or how do you find? I think like Kaylee just got him for me. I think I was like, well, I don't know if I was like, or something.

The best. And she was just like, Oh, I got you these in the mail. And I was like, OK, I'll try them out. And I'm a fan. I needed every heavy. Woke me up like two nights ago, like very aggressively. I felt like the house was on fire. I know what she's like. Shut up. You got to quit snoring. I go, what? She's like, shut up. I go, you gotta quit snoring. I go, oh, fuck that.

Oh, my bad. Okay, let me just press the snoring button and turn it off. Yeah, we just fixed that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll be, we're good, we're good. Snoring turned off. Oh, sorry, I thought you would enjoy that. Yeah, I thought you liked snoring.

But yeah, yeah. Should we talk about those? Potential sponsor. I think we should get to the most controversial topic of the day, the college football playoff. No, did that come out tonight? The most important poll. Rankings came out.

First of all, terrible timing. They should have done it yesterday. Terrible timing. So this is why it's great to have a Southern Baptist preacher. So I have a Southern Baptist preacher and he was preaching Sunday and it was on children. It was a great sermon for me as new dad, Psalm 124, like arrows in the quiver kind of deal. And he's talking about raising your family for God. And then he's like, everybody wants to talk about Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Everybody wants to talk about politics.

Let me tell you all some Tuesday night, instead of watching them counties come rolling in, just switch over to ESPN and watch the college football playoff announcement. Because that's all that really matters. And guess what? He's an, he's an Auburn guy. His brother played football at Auburn. He went to an, he's an Auburn guy. His brother played football at Auburn. He went to Auburn. He loves Auburn. Yeah. Yeah. He struggled. Yeah. I feel like that was the salvation. Yeah. So if prayer for, I wonder if people get more upset about

the calls football, like pigs, that affects, that affects my life more. Yeah. That affects my life more. Directly. That is my direct impact on me. Yeah. Yeah. So my happiness is much more influenced by that. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So I'm going to guess.

Can I take a hack at the top five? Oh, yeah. I have not seen it. Okay. I've got to pull it up. Yeah, I have not seen it. Okay. I've got it pulled up. Yeah. I have not seen it. Man, I got a little dad brain going here, but am I right to say that Texas is number one?

No. Oh, I thought I was like, Oh, you nailed it. Cause I thought you guys are number five. Number five. Texas is number five. Okay. Got it. Penn State lost to Ohio State, which means Ohio State three. No, close. Oregon is number one. Yes. Right.

Man, who else is up there? Penn state's out of it. Yup. Clemson. Thank God. I'm going to go ahead and guess. I'm going to say Ohio state is number one. I'm going to say Ohio state is number one. Man, who else is up there? Penn State's out of it. Clemson, thank God, that loss definitely not even anywhere in sight. They're top 25. I'm drawing blanks.

Is it another SEC team? Is Georgia's up there? Georgia's number three. Georgia's number three. So there's two. ACC team. Miami, Miami. Yep.

Oregon, Miami. No, Oregon, Ohio, Georgia. Number three. So there's two ACC team. Miami Miami. Yep. So Oregon, Miami, Georgia, Ohio state, Georgia. Okay. Miami, Texas. I like that top five actually. I like that. You got a little West coast representation. You got a little Hispanic representation. If you've ever been to Miami, you know what I mean. Cuba.

Yeah, Cuba. Okay. All right. It's good. Good. Yeah. I'm good with that top five. Gamecocks aren't ranked.

Not top 25. Yep. Vanderbilt's number 24. They're not on here. No, they're not on. So the rankings that came Hey, they're not on here. Now they're not. So the rankings that came out, they're not on. No, they yeah, I guess it moves them off. Well, because it's different, right?

Is this like is this BCS? This is like different. No, it's the committee. Twenty five calls football playoff committee. So there might be variance between like the AP poll in this poll. So the AP poll means nothing now. Like it's people kind of just do the AP poll and this poll. So the AP poll means nothing now. Like it's people kind of just do the AP poll. And then once the committee comes, it like it means absolutely nothing. Well, is the coaches poll still a thing? Yeah, like they put it out. Yeah, okay. Okay.

So the college football committee is the only thing that yeah, I don't think I mean something. So then you guys, I just, you wouldn't do six through 10. Jeff, you want to. Okay. Are you going to go 12? Yeah, I guess, I guess go 12 down. Okay. Yeah.

So we got a coming in number 12 Boise State. Ooh, okay. See boys, the Boise boys, the blue Smurf turf. Love that number 11, Alabama to Los Alamos. Nick ridiculous. Number 10, Notre Dame. Also ridiculous. Number nine, Mormon boys, BYU.

Hey, undefeated. How about them? How about them Cougars? Number eight, Indiana. How about an interesting one? How about them Hoosiers? Yeah. Who have they played? We don't know. Number seven, Tennessee. OK, I could see it one loss.

And then number six is Penn State. OK, it's going to it's going to even out here. It's going to be out. Yeah. Yeah, I think the SEC is going to keep beating up on each other. You know, like Tennessee, you know, seeing Georgia play. Yeah, I feel like Indiana is going to catch a loss. Hopefully, no, they play Ohio State, I believe five losses. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. You know, wins against. Yeah. Trying to see. I think I know he's going to say in him by the end of the year. Texas, a number 14. Yeah. Oh, nice. What's what's Clemson knocking on the door? Clemson's 23. Yeah, 23. Way down 14. Yeah. Ooh, nice. What's Clemson knocking on the door? Clemson's 23. Yeah.

23 and wait out there. Yeah. They're going to have a rough end of the season. They play the most exciting team in college football, followed by the Gamecocks. After that, like it's all the losses are heading Davos way. South Carolina play Missouri. Yeah, this week. No, no, no. This week's Fendi. Next week's Missouri. Then they play Wofford and then they play Clemson. I think

it's yeah, that's right. Right. So Missouri's 24. Clemson's 23 years. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, also, yeah, I don't know. Army. Army's 25. I've army's 25. Go army. Navy, Navy, Navy really fell off. It was really, we brought a Navy football coach on and it was over. You know, it was funny was I, I didn't realize that a Navy game was on. Like it was on YouTube.

I have YouTube TV. That's what I watched my TV on. I also use Spotify, but I married into that. I have YouTube TV. That's what I watch my TV on. I also use Spotify, but I married into that. I'm a Pandora One guy, but I do use YouTube TV and I have for a while. And so I wanted to see the Navy game and I went to ESPN plus to watch it. And ESPN plus it's great. You can watch the most obscure sporting events, but the commentary is the worst. And so I'm used to it being terrible for the Citadel, but it's the Citadel. They're like, fire those cannons.

And then they're like, oh, the grass is three inches tall. Like, it's just like awful. And I'm watching this Navy game, but I'm watching like the Navy broadcast and I'm not watching, it was on FS1 or whatever, but I put it on the wrong thing. But I'm watching Navy in that game. They were getting the brakes beat off them, but it was worse than a Citadel game. There was like no one in the stands. Like there was no one there. And I was like, man, I thought like Navy would have, would have traveled better, but yeah, the TV and the cameraman weren't helping them at all. Right? Like they're just like showing the empty seats. Um, but yeah, that was rough. Uh, but anyway, Navy's done. They're done. Go Army sports troops. I mean, I think what

Army still has Notre Dame. So that'll be interesting. I don't know who else they have, but we'll see. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like that army game is still going to be big. Like, oh yeah. I mean, if they both have winning records, it'll be great. It's exciting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It'll be good. All right. I mean, anything else that we should just move on off of college football before it gets too sensitive here. You know, we can just next topic if we need to. No, do you get it? I mean, great. I had the best 40 weekend that I ever had. I really did Clemson loss, which is always better than anything else. Gamecocks one will to cover that here in a second. And the Citadel was on a bi-week. So it was like, it was just like, you know, it was fantastic.

Yeah, game was good. Yeah, I don't know. It is your kid, your kids to know me and she doesn't know. She's to know. Yes, she's watched like three Bruins lost Drake, may lose for the Patriots. And she thinks the Gamecocks are the best team in the world. It's really weird. It's really weird. But yeah, it was fun. It was good. I mean, I train, I talked beforehand and it's just funny. Like when other things are more important in life, you

know, if you're like 24, I probably like won't text Trey for three weeks, but like, you know, now in life, I'm like, well, I just want to like see Trey's babies tomorrow. So like, I don't really care about the game. And then the game starts and you're like, I actually care a lot about this game. Uh, and then it's over. And what did I get the next day that I called you Trey? Yeah. The next day I called you to show you like something that Isabella was doing and like halfway through the a FaceTime I thought, Oh, I bet he thinks I'm going to chirp him about the game. And I was like, and I actually already forgot about the game. I just want to like show him this with the baby. And then he answered and it's like, you know, one of his kids. And then I was like, I didn't call you about the game. He's like, Oh, I forgot about the

game. So as the game ended. So there's a whistle blew me and I forgot about it. Yeah. Um, were you shocked? Surprise. Dude, I had, I think I texted you like when I think it was, I can't remember. I think it was after South Carolina was like going into their pie and like the schedule came out. It was like a night game. I think I text you I was like, okay, so A&M's going to South Carolina. They're coming off a buy at night. Like I just, I don't know, I had a feeling like it was gonna be rough to begin with. So I thought we were gonna win. I felt but you know, you can't, can't tackle.

It's hard to start a winning game. Hey man. When the game caught quarterback gets coached by Stephen Garcia on a podcast that's built by the strength co three days before the game and then goes to a diddy party and covers himself in oil. It's hard to tackle that. It was unbelievable. It was like, there were so many times I'm like, Oh, we're going to get sacked for a loss of 16. It was like, bloop, pop out, keep running. I'm like, what is happening? He's a, he's a Tim Tebow. So yeah, was he two 46, four? So you know, football stats are like, like, um, grown men, high school bench presses. You never really know what the truth

is, but it was funny because I, we do sponsor the strength co-sponsors tailgate talks, five, four, seven, uh, the host or Steven Garcia, former episode, uh, guests, as well as game cock quarterback and Pat DeMarco, uh, former game cock, uh, tight end fullback. I don't know. I forget. Bring back the fullback. Let's just say he's a fullback, but, wait, is it two 35 or is it two 45? That's a big difference. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, that's what six, six, two 45 does to an angry when he puts his head down. And

I'm like, wait, is it two 35 or is it two 45? But yeah, he's, I'm going to guess he's over six, uh, two 20 and under two 50. Uh, honestly he looks small to me. Um, but you're putting them against defensive tackles and offensive lineman. So you just probably look small, but I mean, when you work, when you work in starting strength, everyone's two 72. So, you know, these, these football players look like shrimps. Anyway, no, good game. As I said, y'all played well. It was weird.

It was like they were supposed to show up and they did. And then the game ended and I saw Clemson was losing and I was like, this is the best part. Equally as happy. Yeah. Tell me about those soccer announcers. Oh, so today. So there's Champions League, which is like the big European like club in, country tournament.

Big soccer guy. Huge. But like, it's like CBS broadcasts it. And so like most of the games are on Paramount Plus. I'm not going to subscribe to another streaming service. I feel like I've already got too many. I know. But you would subscribe to the OK Podcast on YouTube.

That's right. A free subscription on YouTube. Free subscription. You can afford not to. Yeah. Well, especially in this economy. Yeah, especially in this economy. So the game that was on CBS was not a great matchup, but then the one that was on, what

was it, like Telemundo or whatever the This the Spanish channel was was Real Madrid versus Inter Milan AC Milan. So like biggest club in Spain, biggest club in Italy play each other. But it was a Spanish broadcast. And so it's very entertaining because everything it everything sounds like it's about to be the greatest goal of all time. This is this is a secret. Yeah. I think it's about to be the greatest goal of all time. This is this is a secret. This is yeah. I think it's a right.

Mm hmm. Yeah, so it was a real Madrid versus AC Milan. And Mexico, we just saw that. Personally, yeah, yeah, yeah. And like they just had the. It's called. So it's very weird. And that one had, yeah, you're just calling that. Sorry. I was really working on that one. You're being Mexico.

And Trey was, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was trying to get on the same page. So it was just really good. Because they just get fired up about everything. It was good. Yeah.

Who won? Yeah, it's like breaking down a county on election night. AC Milan smoked them. And especially, it was at Real Madrid, too, where they don't usually have that happen. But it was four to one. AC Milan has a Christian Polisic, right? Yeah, he played great.

Did he score? He scored two assists. Didn't score. Christian Polisic's the captain of the US team, right? Yeah. OK, thanks, man. I appreciate that. Yeah, American guy.

I figured, yeah, you were just lost. I'm going to help you out there. Yeah. Yeah, fun game just lost. I'm going to help you out there. Yeah. Yeah, fun game. Lots of goals. Also, would you call Christian Polisic the best US player of all time? In Mexico, we just call that a Christian.

I don't know. I still think Landon Donovan might be up there. But it's close. It's close. I think think Landon Donovan might be up there, but it's close. I was close. I think you can make the argument. When Donovan didn't play anywhere, I can play it. What form? Maybe Everton. Yeah, I mean, I think as far as like an international club career, politics played it like a lot bigger clubs. And that's the only reason I would say he's better

because he's had success at like bigger clubs. Yeah. In my opinion, so I don't know. No, I think it's fair assessment. I think you can make that argument. It's not crazy. Well, it's Marine Corps month. Sure is.

We're entering Marine Corps Ramadan. Uh, shout out Lance captain, USMCR, former guest of the podcast. Don't know his real name. Um, but it's Marine Corps month, the Marine Corps birthday coming up here on November 10th. I get more texts that day than I do on my real birthday. And we, we cap it off for the other branches. We're here to support the troops on November 11th, Treaty of Versailles. It looks like Versailles, but if you've been in the Marine Corps long enough, you learn it's Versailles.

You have to explain the Marine Corps Ramadan joke. Oh yeah, so in the Marine Corps, if you're active duty, your life's really hard because you have to work every day and you have to like go in at like seven and you have to leave every day at like 1430. And it's really frustrating. Once November comes, every other Thursday,

you get off until the following Tuesday, all the way until Martin Luther King Day. But it's really tough because then sometimes like on that Thursday when you're gonna get off, you might have to work until 1700 on Wednesday, which messes up your usual work schedule. And so yeah, the Marine Corps Ramadan, it's the Marine Corps birthday followed by the birthday ball, which the birthday ball is generally not on the birthday, depending where your unit is holding it. And then you might be so fortunate to get invited

to another birthday ball, which is like, you just tell your boss if you're active duty, like, Hey, I'm going to the 111 ball. And they're like, Oh yeah, happy birthday, brother. And so then you have another day off, but you put on your blues. So it's fine. It's a work day and it's a really stressful time for Marines. It's just like managing, do I want to mix leave and Liberty? You know, it's, it's a lot of big decisions for young families as you, as you head into Thanksgiving and then Christmas. But yeah, basically if you want to do attack America, I would say do it. I would say do it between November 10th and Martin Luther King Day.

And that's when we're the most vulnerable because no one is working. And attack can't be pedaled in. Definitely. Come in right? Yeah, definitely. Right up Red Beach. Well, the nice thing about Martin Luther King Day being the cap is between the New Year's celebration and Martin Luther King day. You

also have St. Barbara's day for the artillery men. And I just love, you know, we haven't set out on the podcast. Maybe we'll get into it tonight. Maybe we'll get it further. I'm activating next year. I'm deploying. We don't know the future of this podcast. So if you like it now, thank BW. It keeps the lights on. But I just love, you know, they're planning our workup in Twentynine Palms, California. Hey, you got to do this event. We got to put you in a fake helicopter and put it in the bottom of a pool and you get out.

We got to make sure you got this rifle range. You got to make sure this. And then I'm like, Hey, what are the dates for, you know, the will's power of attorney? What are the dates for all these things that impact everyone's life? No one replies. And then I get emails from like brass that's like, Hey, what's the name of all these things that impact everyone's life, no one replies. And then I get emails from brass that's like, Hey, what's the name of all your staff, NCOs and officers for St. Barbara's Day? I'm like, St. Barbara's literally follows falls in the middle of our most intense training portion.

They're like, Oh yeah, we're going to stop ITX and send all the already guys to Pendleton. I'm like, of course we are. Wow. What a waste of money. Good night. Oh my God. St. Barbara. So that'll be her name. Long live. Yeah. But anyway, are you guys joining for the Marine Corps birthday Sunday? That'll happen between now and the next recording. So our, so see 514's birthday ball is this coming weekend. So we'll going to be doing a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of

a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of Should be a good time. You know it well. Should be a good time. Did you buy my ball tickets yet? Are you gonna have them in the text?

Got my ball tickets, got the hotel. Yeah, we're all set. Got your mess dress ready to rock. Ready to go. I actually have the real shirt this year. Nice, yeah. It's good to go. So.

Is the mess dress the major like cape? Field grade. It's like there. And Staffancio's like, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Staffing to and above. Yeah. You look like a butler. That too. I like, I love the Marine Corps uniform.

Like it's the best looking one. It's kind of silly, but it's also kind of. I am not, and I think it's optional, right? Or is it not? It is, but like, it is, but it isn't. It's one of those things. It's like highly encouraged. If you roll in those...

I think traditional dress shoes look so much better. If you roll in those, in my opinion, you're not in mess dress. It's going to be like, oh, what's going on with this guy? Yeah, particularly as a reservist, because then they think you're not bought in. But I will tell you this, Trey, I've only worn that uniform one time, and it was just to take a $2,500 photo with Jeff. But I'm with you. The blues looks way better, but the moment you put on the mess dress, your life, your quality of life is way better than it is in the blues.

Like it is so much more comfortable. Yeah. It's just like wearing a suit. Yeah. Like in the blues, like it's like, Hey, look right. And you're like, I can't look right. My head is hitting my ear, golden anchor like I can't. You're sweating profusely under your blues.

Like, yeah. So much better. True. But not as cool looking though. That's for sure. That's not as cool looking, but as a dad, I'm a fan. Yeah. Yeah. Big, big. Yeah. What else we got on the slide deck?

We got old guys from the gym. I think was one you had in there. Oh yeah. It's perfect. So I get a little training update. So baby will be when this airs, uh, she'll be three weeks. So, you know, I'm in the thick of it. All the Instagram reels tell me the first six weeks is the hardest. So, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm in it to win it right now. I will say, I will say a little tougher to get to the gym than I imagined, but we've been getting in there about every two to three days, never got more than three days went in tonight Just dad lifted did two sets, but I went in the other day. My mother was up here Shout out to one of our only listeners my mom and she was super helpful and

You know cuz there's this like there's this there's this thing you're managing of like I want to take care of the baby I want to hold the of the baby. I want to hold the baby as much as I can. I can't breastfeed the baby, but I want to be there when I can be. And then it's like, I want to take care of my wife. I want to make sure my wife's happy. But I also want to go to the gym. It's not at a selfish needs. It's just out of human needs. You're trying to manage it. When your mom's in town, it's like, well, mom just grabbed the baby. It just ate eight minutes ago and Diana just fell asleep. So I got like an hour and 20 minutes where I can be guilt free and actually lift. Like

mom's holding the baby, my wife's asleep. Like this is like, I gotta go. So I went to the gym and I'm in there and I was, I was going to bench and I can't remember the bench. I don't, I don't know. I don't remember what I was to do, but I know it's pinching. So I go on the bench and there's like these two old guys and one guy is like on the cable machine and he's probably like 70 and he's just like doing like one arm curls on like 10 pounds, right? For the girls. He puts it down.

He has a towel like hanging over his shoulder and the other guys on the in kind bench press at the, anytime fitness Greenville, great little gym, strength of plates. But they got a, they, they, they got four squat racks, but they only like the, there's only the only place you can bench is in the like stationary bench, bench press, like the one that's like welded to the uprights, you know what I mean? Like there's no like free standing bench that you could put in the squat racks.

And so there's one bench press and there's one incline bench. So there's other old guys on the incline. So I'm on a flat bench and I'm benching. And like every time the guy, like when he finishes doing his curls with one arm, he like, you know, like let's go of it. And then he turns back to his buddy and his buddy has like, you know, 105 pounds on the

incline. And he also has like a towel draped over his shoulder. And all they did was talk about cars. And I loved it. I was here for it. Like I was like, this is amazing. And he's like, yeah. And like what I was like making fun of their kid. He's like, my son just bought a Tesla. Can't even hear it coming. I told him, you ought to hear the cherry, the cherry bomb or thrust,

the thrust mufflers. I had the cherry bomb thrust mufflers on my 69 charger. And he's like, that was a car. That was a car. My son almost runs people over in parking lots because no one hears it coming. And I was just like, this is amazing. Like, I just want to like absorb all of this. And yeah, old guys in the gym, they're just funny. Tonight I was in there. I ran down there to lift real quick before the podcast. And I went in, I was like, all right, I'll do two heavy sets of deadlifts. And I forgot my headphones. I didn't bring my gym bag. I just like went down. I was like, I'm going to pull and leave. And I'm in there and I keep hearing something and I realized it's like an old guy. He's like 65 with headphones

in and he's like singing, you know, like to whatever he's listening to. And he's in the squat rack, literally curling, like you can't make this up just an empty barbell. And so I did look like four or 55 by five and I finished and he's like, that's some good lifting son. And I was like, yeah, thanks. He's like good lifting. And then he like, he puts his air pod back in. He's like, enemy, I ain't no fault in this son. And I was just like, you can't like make this up. So anyway, anytime fitness downtown Greenville, if you want to see old dudes doing stuff. Yeah, it's great. I love it. I love it. I'll talk about a six, nine charger all day. Yeah. Good vibes in the gym. With a cherry bomb.

I don't even know what that means. Yeah, I think it's like the shape of the muffler or not the muffler, but like the exhaust thing that you put between the headers and the tailpipe that makes the noise. And there was like a special shape they did that made noise. And I think that was called a cherry bomb and it was made by thrust. And it had like a rooster with his like hair blowing back. And yeah, thrush, thrush mufflers is what it is. And that's one thing, like when people start talking cars, like I think my eyes just start glazing over. Yeah. I'm not, eyes just start glazing over. Yeah.

I know I'm not, I've never been into it. As long as it goes, I really don't care what it looks like. I can't actually, yeah. I love some good car talk. Actually. It's like, I do like listening to it. Yeah. I don't know a ton, but it's like probably the one thing where it's like, I should call dad. I'm like, like, what, what did I talk to dad about today?

Is he in, is he in the cars? What? Oh, huge. It's like his, it's like his number, like he's into the rapture, the tribulation period, salvation by grace through faith and like 55 Buicks. Like that's like his topics. And it's easier to just bring up the 55 Buick than anything else. And, you know, and he loves to say stuff like, no, I won't crank. Well, if it's an electrical issue, it's either the alternator or the battery. And the easiest way to know if it's the alternator

is if you can crank the car and unplug the battery and it still runs, then your alternator is good. And so he always has these like little hot takes that you're like, I'm never going to use this. And then I'll talk to my oldest brother, Jeremy. And I'm like, you know what? Dad's like four things he knows about cars really well. He's like, dude, they always work. He's like, they always work. And that's funny. Speaking of your eyes glazing over when you hear about cars, I understand that because when my eyes glaze over, it's usually when it's tax season. Tax season.

It's just like the IRS just mails you bills out of the blue and you hate it. And we have some friends over at BW Tax, they power, yeah, they sponsor this and no one better than another small business owner in Florida talks about it. The thing that I've always liked about BW Tax LLC.com is that they are a smaller company and smaller companies care more in general. There's not a hierarchy of people that are telling you, you know, make more money, make more money from our clients.

They want you to make money. That's why you use them because when you use them, they're gonna give you the tools to get the most money back from the government that generally takes all of our stuff. But it's their it's their mission. It's their job to get as much money back from the government and put it into the pockets of hardworking Americans. That was a great ad read. BW tax LLC. I don't know what's going on. I'm going to hold this up.

I don't know what's going on. I'm not following County by County, but Bitcoin just hit 72, 780. And if it hits 73, that's an all time high. Is it really? So whatever's happening, the Bitcoiners are loving it. And I'm here for it. I don't care who's winning. I just want Bitcoin to go to the moon. Yeah, I'm a I'm a fan.

Yeah. You think you are just voting for Bitcoin? Maybe that's it. I thought about that. That's who I wrote in. Did you guys write some people in? Because I always write some like I was talking to my older brother yesterday. He always writes in one of his cats and then takes a photo and shows it to his daughters and his daughters like love the fact that he wrote in a cat. But I like, I wrote some people and I wrote in, um, there was a soil and waste commissioner

and there was one person running for it. And I don't actually remember if they were Republican or Democrat, but I was just like, I worked for a septic company growing up and I pumped septics and my brother's father-in-law's name is Brad Drale. And that feels like soil and waste to me. So I'm just going to write him in. And so like you write him in and then the print your ticket and then you're like, yeah Brad Jirali soil and waste commissioner Yeah, I always do you write people in Trey? No, I usually don't know Yeah, you make your votes count. I get it. I try to

Man, we yeah, we had a so is my dad's 70th birthday yesterday So we went to dinner. Happy birthday, seven zero, devil dog. Big Robert Gowich the second. Dose. Dose. That's what he goes by. Not true.

Dose. But no, but my dad loves talking politics, man. And so that's of course what we talked about on his birthday. And so it was like, like everyone that's between the age of 60. Yeah. So that's what we talked about, man. It's just, I don't know, it's it was a, you know, it was his birthday. That's what he wanted. So we did it. But we talked about to Frisco, all the

suburbs in Dallas are have like all these bonds and everything. And I'm just like, yes, Lucasi boots. Oh, dude, it was like, I think Frisco had that it was like a $1.2 billion bond. I go, Yeah, what to be like, you don't need that much money. Come on now. I go, yeah, you don't need that much money. Come on now. Yeah.

All I looked at, I read the money. Huh? I go, I read the ending goes raises property tax. I go, no taxes. I raise that. I mean, you don't need no more property tax. I know we're supposed to just like plug our sponsor all the time, but I don't want to like be a podcast that's just constantly talking about B2B tax. But whenever there's like a proposition

or amendment and it's like more tax, I'm like, that sounds bad to me. No. Um, you know, and, uh, yeah, yeah, I don't want to give more money away. That's, that seems usually, that doesn't seem right. Yeah. Yeah. Every other matter, different opinions than me, but like we all don't want to give more money away. That's that seems usually that doesn't seem right. Yeah. Yeah Every other matter you have different opinions than me, but like we all don't we all want to give less money to the government Yeah, that's like bad. Yeah, all my money's gonna take care right now. So I don't need We're already giving them too much and they're not doing a great job with what we're giving them. So i'm like you haven't earned The right to get more. To one point, a billion for a city.

That's excessive. Yeah. What are you? Crane, yoga, Tesla's the best ad that spoke to me. So South Carolina is notorious for having terrible roads. Like there's like memes on the internet of people in South Carolina driving and they cross into Georgia and the roads are perfect or North Carolina or whatever neighboring state. And so there was a thing that was to fix roads and then it named from this place to this

place, from this place to this place. And I remember when I first saw the proposition, I was like, oh, I would actually really enjoy some nicer roads. And then I saw like the ads against the tax and was like, you already paid for new roads and your state can't even manage it. Vote no on the penny tax. And I was like, Oh, that hits home. Yeah. Yeah, so good point. What else we got? So that was probably the that's probably the spiciest that we got at dinner last night was talking about. OK. Yeah. Other than happy, it was pretty happy birthday dose.

Big seven zero, baby. He's doing good. He wear a hat. No hatless. No. OK. No, I know. Not a big hat guy. OK. They wear boots. He did wear boots. OK. Like in like in Texas, you just call them shoes, like the kind of boots that

we're talking about. It's called footwear. Yeah. Like Tejano boots. Yeah. Does long. He's real big on the Alamo. What's the cut? What's the jean cut where it goes real low to all you see is like the toe box almost. Is that boot cut? Yeah, boot cut.

Are you being boot cut guy? I'm not. I spent too much time in California. I'm like, I'm more like on a, give me the wrap to wrap the top of my boots so I can still wear skinny jeans. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm not much of a boot cut. Tapered fit. He's a big boot cut guy. I'm not much of a boot cut. So he kind of looks like Alan Jackson. I'm picturing, I'm picturing Alan Jackson in my mind. Yeah.

Somebody got a sport alert. Oh, a sport update. Wait down here. Gets hot with a hoochie coochie. Where's he from? Is he from Georgia? I think so. Yeah. That's the son of the South. I want to see. I'm just pulling up pictures of Alan Jackson. Oh, he just was played with John party and I was looking at the photos and I was like,

yeah. And I was like, Alan Jackson does not look like a cowboy. He looks like trailer trash. And I'm here for it. It's like Larry Bird. He had like so many bedazzles on his jacket and I was like, what is it? It's like Alan Jackson male Dolly Parton. Yeah. Oh yeah. Dude, his, yeah. The back of his jeans. like it was hilarious. Cause John, John party kind of looks like almost like Mexican, right? Like he's got like that Tejano flair and he's, he's like, I played with my hero, Alan Jackson, and I was like, Alan Jackson looks like he just left the Southern Baptist potluck. Like, he does not look like, that's good.

Anyway. Uh, what else we got on the fly deck? Moving from Alan Jackson to Lincoln Riley, Trey, sounds like you got some, a lot of love for Lincoln Riley kind of kicking it back over. Oh dude. Well, first of all, like I think my dream job is to be a fired football coach. Dude, wait real quick. Like a Jim football coach. Dude. Wait real quick. Like a Jimbo Fisher. Lincoln Riley, is that not the kid that like

shot someone with an M16 during George Floyd? No. Who's that? I was about to say. No. Sorry. There was another person down in Georgia. Yeah.

My bad. It was close. It sounded like Lincoln Riley, but it's a different person. I'm not gonna, I'm not not a J tech, but continue. I think, yeah. I think that person got shot and I don't think they shot somebody. So Lincoln Riley, the football coach. Dude, so Mates, I don't know how much money in, at OU, ran that program. Yeah, I got them here.

Rain that program to the ground after he left, right? Yeah, because he like took all the good players and now he's at USC. I'm like, dude, how impressive is it? So in Southern Cal, he is at the university in Southern California. Continue USCW. How about that? Yeah. Yeah. That works. USC West. Dude. And I was like very like historically relevant programs in that he's ruined two of them. That was just how impressive that is. And his now I'm like, oh, the USC Southern Cow's going to fire him at some point.

Oh, yeah. Definitely. Is it going to be this year? And I looked at his buyout. It's 110 million. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, what a great job. I mean, can you like a terrible football coach like Lane? Kiffin just bounces around. SEC school, the SEC school like and everyone's like,

he's going to bring us to the promised land boys like that. You're a bunch of them. What he just doesn't do. He plays Georgia this week. That's actually a good game. That is a good game. I don't know. Yeah. So we see another wall.

Sorry to touch. It just got me thinking that I'm like, what a great job just to be like an average to below average college football coach. Just one of those SEC guys that just rotates school to school, like pops up here as a coordinator and then becomes a head coach and then goes, you know, liberty for a season and Arkansas. I was like, dude, was it an ozron at LSU?

Yeah, you see that they interviewed him and they're like, hey, coach, we're going to have to let you go. And he's like, really? He's like, yeah, here's 26 million dollars. He goes, what store do you want me to leave out of? He's like, I'm out of here. I love it. Yeah. You know, you'm out of here. I love it. Yeah.

You know, you're one of those jobs. I was, you know, as a dad, you find yourself doing things at different times that you don't normally do. And so today, there was a time where like, I realized for my family, it would be really good if I was just present. And so I had the baby and I'm like, I'm just going to turn ESPN and like maybe Colin Coward would be on, but he wasn't Pat McCaffey, McAfee. I know I always say it wrong, but what is the right way? I know you got me. That's a pat mag fee. Yeah. Yeah. Mac V. Okay. Anyway. Um, what a great show.

And I know I was a hater early on, but it's just like, he's just on there standing up behind a bunch of swag randomly, like mentioning the swag in between stuff. And then just like, it's like he breaks out to the potato song randomly. He's just like, blah, blah, blah, this thing that, and I'm like, what? And then he like, it's like, by the way, get dad wipes. And then he just like cuts to a guy wearing a cowboy hat in South Carolina. We call them cat hats. And the guy's like, yeah, go Longhorns. And then he cuts to another guy. He's like, what do you think about this wide receiver trade? And I'm like, how is this a job? And then he likes to build Belichick.

Yeah, yeah. No, no. Then, then, then, then Bel Belichick's there. And it's just, it's, it's, and I was, and I watched it. I watched it. I think the last time I just absorbed like sports media, not a game, like sports talk show stuff that hard was like when I was a recent college grad, I got really into the herd and the Patriots were good. So it was a great time listening to Colin Coward.

And, uh, but I was watching today and I was like, this is incredible. And, uh, and then I went to BW and the great thing about BW is like, he can navigate taxes, but the guy knows so many details. He's like, well, you know, he started at Barstool sports, right? And then he was like, well, this is dumb. They're not paying me enough. So he went and he made the thunder dome in Indiana. He didn't have to commute. Pat McAfee McAfee Matthew. No, he started at Barstool. Yeah. He started at barstool. Yeah. Anyway, great show. Yeah. Better at game day. It's, dude, it's, I was like, had mixed feelings about him joining game day. And then like, I was very against it. And now I think he saved it. Cause course, course

those, the Joe Biden of game day, I don't care what your politics are. I don't care if you like Corso or hate Biden, but like I do care your politics are honestly, but like it's just this guy's dead. Like it's over. Yeah. And then they brought in. Yeah, it's kind of sad at this point. They just need to let them be in.

No, I think it's cool that he's still there. Like as a prop. The dude's still like batting a thousand on his pigs though. That's the only thing. Yeah. No, but there's energy. There's energy with Pat. It's great. I see. I love watching Pat in Nick save and sit by each other. I find very entertaining. Yeah, it's fantastic. They'll bring food out. Pat McPhee's like feeding Nick saving food. I'm like, I never thought what is happening.

Yeah. Man. In South Carolina, we just call that lunch. But we're from the. That's good. What else we got? Red Sox documentary, the comeback. I'm guessing this is talking about the 2004 ALCS. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It starts in 03 when the Red Sox losing game seven. Obviously big Boston guys, South Boston guy. I'm from the South, but it's, it's incredible. Like it says, like one of those moments where your wife feeds the baby and then you're like, go take a shower. I got it. And you're like, Oh, I'm an expert. And so she's up there.

And then like, I'm 20 minutes into the documentary. It's just, it's not even just for Red Sox fans. It's like Theo Epstein, Jeremy Jamby. You're just hearing all these like early to late nineties, 2000 error names. Gary Sheffield's like, they hired me to be a hired gun. Yeah. And you're just like hearing this stuff and I've like, I pause it and I'm like, Oh man, it's three episodes and they're all an hour and 10 minutes. I'm ruined. There's no way I'm able to turn this off tonight.

Oh, I finished the whole thing. And it's incredible. I'm biased, but I feel like Trey would be a great judge of it. Like Trey, watch it before next Tuesday and then give us a rating on a day Portnoy pizza scale because like you don't really care that it's on Netflix, dude. It's unbelievable. And then you start like texting, like your buddies that are Boston fans and you're like Theo Epstein and they're like, you know, you're just naming people. No, my guys see a para. And like you just, it's, it's a great, it's a great documentary curse. The Bambino, uh, the comeback shout out starting the strength to read through players. Yeah. Pete trupas runs a starting strength account. He messaged me and said, have you

seen this? His wife or soon to be wife, I think he's about to get married, is a Red Sox fan. So he always like messaged me about Red Sox stuff. And he was like, have you seen this? He's like, not that you're busy or anything. And I was like, I haven't. And then I was like, Oh, I need to watch this. And I pulled it up. Great, great doc. Like if you like sports, you'll love it. Okay. I'll check it out. What's it called? The comeback. The comeback. Okay. Yeah. The comeback. Dude. Yeah. I remember watching that when it happened, like it just night after night, they're going to keep winning. Like they just, they want, this is wild. They go, it's nice.

Which one did we watch together? We watched a red Sox championship together. It was that 13. Must've been. We watched one in, in Carl's bag. Yeah, it must've been. Yeah. Yeah. It must've been 13. Yeah. But you remember watching that and yeah. Rimp stick was pulling against them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Did they beat? Yeah. I'm a bad fan. Uh, Cardinals. 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. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. that are true in life. Death cardinals, taxes. Yeah. Cardinals see him, right? I'm a real fan. Death taxes. PJ will never know what bingo means and the fans will never know what the potato song is. That's just the thing between me and Jeff. Trey will never know what the potato song is. Yeah, you'll never know, but it's a great song. It's really good.

Yeah. Just imagine the best song you've ever heard and then get better. It's kind of like the White Stripes, but for potatoes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just put a potato in the oven and you start singing.

Yeah. Just hits home. Yeah. Where are you at, Trey? Oklahoma City. Well, Casey Casey. You don't know Casey. Yeah, you know me. Yeah, you know me.

Speak so much, Biggie, the killer bees are just coming through right now. The killer bees. Uh, what don't you do in Oklahoma City? Any good chow? Oh, the killer base. Well, that's good. Oklahoma City and you get ciao. Hey, pushing. There's a ramen spot. Oh, ramen. Man, I think I rolled in and then hopped on this call pretty much.

But I'm going I think I got brought my stuff down, so I think I'm going to go tomorrow. Yeah, there's a good place up in London to lift weights. But as far as Chow goes, there's a ramen place down in Oklahoma City, like downtown, I really like. OK. OK, if you are, you are you ramen? I know Jeff's ramen guy. My wife is a big ramen person. Is great. a person.

Yeah. Yeah. Big ramen guy. Yeah. Yeah. Like if you never had me in the south, if you never had a life, you'd be OK. I'd be 0% upset, but I don't dislike it. I just like when it's time to eat that never has ever come to my mind. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Especially like fancy ramen. I don't really understand. Like I feel like soups are supposed to be like budget meals. Like it's a soup. Like you put water, you heated it up, you put in spice

and you put in like two, like it's a budget meal. It's mostly water. Now when you, now, now when you go to ramen, it's like 1799. It's like I could have gotten a ribeye. I could have gotten three ribeyes at Costco. Like, like what? Um, don't dislike ramen, but yeah, not, not coming to my mind. It's overpriced soup is what you would call it That's what ramen means Japanese. Yeah Yeah, ancient translate. Yeah, I

Do like when they put the eggs in it though. I do like the eggs Yeah, cuz I'm like at least I get a little protein a little bit of something for what I paid for for 1799 No, are you going to? That's what I want to know. Yeah, we go to we go to auto. I know it well, because I always get the skewers when my wife gets the ramen. It's like a chicken skewer.

Yeah. OK. Anyway, yeah. No, ramen. OK. OK. You get a lift tray. Yeah, I think Ramen. Okay. Okay. You get a lift tray? Yeah, I think I texted the gym owner up in Lawton. There's a place up there I like going to. Yeah. Yeah, cool.

Black wall powerlifting. Love it. It's that place I always go to and no one's there. Yeah, tell them you know a guy. Did I say Lawton? No, not Lawton. I always go to in, in no one's there. Yeah. Tell me, know a guy. That's a lot. No, not a lot. And I'm in the other direction. Edmund Edmund. Yeah. Okay. North Oklahoma city. Okay. Okay. You should just drive down to Wichita falls and see Mark Ripito. I was in Wichita falls last week.

Oh dude, next time you're there, she could totally go lift. Just he, he doesn't get to work till like 12. And I think he stays till about 2 AM because he has a shotgun, um, gutter system on his house. So he showers at his house with Texas rainwater. That's what he calls it, Texas rainwater. So it's like a, like the, the, the water falls and it hits sleep. And it goes down to the gutter and then he lets it like rinse the roof out and then he goes outside and he moves this PVC pipe over to this big gallon tank and that's his water supply. And so he just says he lives off of Texas rainwater, but I just always laugh because then I'm like, why do you call it? Rainwater. You just call it water. Yeah. But then I'm like, but why do you stay at the gym till

2 AM? He's like, well, after everyone leaves, I take a shower. I'm like, what's the gym powered with? He's like, Oh, I'm on city water. And I'm like, so yeah. Yeah. My two favorite Mark Ribbitt things. You would think they'd be squats and milk, but it's actually his love for Texas rainwater and mutton. And I never knew what a mutton was until I met Mark. Yeah. Yeah. It's a baby sheep. And he's like, you want to come to the house and eat mutton? I'm like, what's, what's that? It does not sound appealing. Yeah. Was it always has? Oh, it's fantastic.

The guy is a phenomenal cook. You're really good cook. And do they do at the gym? Yeah, yeah, no, I'm saying you, if you went in after 12. Well, if you went in before and Carmen was there and you just said, hey, I'm Grant's buddy, there's not a lot of places where you go and you say I'm Grant's buddy and you just said, Hey, I'm Grant's buddy. There's not a lot of places where you go and you say, I'm Grant's buddy and you get good treatment. But at Wichita Falls Athletic Club, if you walked in and you saw Carmen and you said, Hey, I'm Grant's buddy. He told

me I could come in here and work out. You would be like, the red carpet would be rolled out. She'd make you coffee. She'd probably make you a sandwich in the back room on your way out. They'd be like, do you want a course banquet of beers? They would just really take care of you. And so the next time you're there, you should totally go by. Try it out. If you saw a rip, you'd be like, yeah, still thinks the government's a good use of his time, but disagree. But yeah, I guess the only other place where they rolled out the red carpet when I mentioned your name was the olive oil shop in Newport.

Amen. And, and Menchie's in Carlsbad. Yeah. Menchie's in Carlsbad. They were, they were a little bit. I think they were scared of brands. No, no, no. We don't have Greek yogurt.

We get out of Grant. No, no, no. We don't have Greek yogurt. We need that guy. All the Greek yogurt we have. You tell him to leave us alone. I witnessed, that was the most, that was honestly probably the most amazing thing I've seen. Then being out of Greek yogurt,

Grant called the owner of the company and they sent him like four gallons of Greek minty yogurt. Dude, gallons of Greek yogurt. I was like, I'm a huge, it was like after hours. I want to give you money. You're just out of Greek yogurt. Can you fix this? He's like, go by tomorrow.

I was blown away. I was, cause that's when we first, that's like one of our first times we hung out, I think with the benches. I'm like, that sounds about right. Yeah. Like what are you in the mafia? Like how do you have this connection to the, so check her whole benches. Okay. Check her hole. I thought they were more scared of you than like, like wanting you to come back. They're like, please not this guy. Oh gosh. I swear, we got Greek yogurt. So is that-

I'm like the olive oil guy loved you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know a lot about Jews and they get really excited about that. Yeah. Ah, let me tell you about the history of Israel. My dad's a pastor, Southern Baptist type. I can talk about that. Yeah. Ah, let me tell you about the history of Israel. My dad's a pastor, Southern Baptist type. I can talk about this. So would you check or hold Minchie's?

It was good. Is it a check? Check. Okay. I would hold ramen. Okay. Hold ramen. Okay. Check or hold ramen. Those are your only two options. Yeah. Especially 17 bucks. Yeah. I don't blame you.

He's your ramen guy. That's what I think you're overpaying. Yeah. That's the problem. I don't think they like when you walk in and go, kimchi. So it could be grants for. It's like, yeah, we sell that here. That's probably what they want to say. We got any slides left or is it time for commander's comments? I saved round kind of last minute slide. Yeah, dude.

How great is Trader Joe's? They just opened one up by us. Like there was one that was like not far away, but there was another grocery store that was way closer. But they didn't just open it. A Trader Joe's is basically on the way back from the gym. When Gav or Kaylee and I go there and dude, I love Trader Joe's. I've been there since California, but they just opened one up in Texas. I guess they're manifest destiny the opposite way. You know what I mean? In Texas, we call that a Trader Jose. Manifest destiny the opposite way. You know what I mean?

In Texas, we call that a Trader Jose. Yeah. I'm a Trader Joe's fan. Yeah. I think they're good. Yeah. So, did you guys make agreements or like packs or oaths or whatever to talk about it before you got engaged

and then married like Like, hey, like vows. No, that's what you do on wedding day. That's between you and God. But like the deal, right? I was just like, Hey, I'll make sure we have money. I never want a grocery shop. That was like the deal. And she was like, okay, right. So, so I don't grocery shop much anymore. And I used to a lot, but before I was married, Trader Joe's is like the most fun place to grocery shop because it's just like, like the experience is amazing. You see stuff. It's, it's, I feel like it's meant for like middle-aged men to go in there. And it's like, I could definitely

make that. Like could just have to put it in the oven and then it's out. That sounds fantastic. And then someone's like, Hey, would you like cheese? And then you go to check out and someone rings the bell. You're like, what's that for? They're like, you're customer number 315 today. I'm like, I could bench 315 in high school. Great. Yeah. I'm definitely in on Trader Joe's. So you say check. check on trader Jack. Yeah, yeah. That's a check. Yeah.

Check, check, verified. No hold there. No hold there. That's all I wanna say. All right. Well, congrats on getting the trader Joe's. I think we have like two in South Carolina. Now they just need a rewards program. They, oh man. Trade would be all about it.

They really do. I'm a sucker for if you have rewards. Game over. Dude, we've got home team barbecue we've talked about before. They got pig bucks and the name is so good. And like you go there and you eat food and then you get a text and the text is perfectly timed. It's like 30 minutes later. I take like business notes from it.

And it's like, you have $27 of pig bucks. And I'm like, not only do I have free money at this restaurant that means I need to go back, but it's called pig bucks. Like fantastic. Take me back to home team. What's the change? Pig bucks or Bitcoin? You know what I mean?

Well let's see what's happening with the election. Bitcoin is at 74, 520. Yeah baby. This is not, I'm going to hold, can you see it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Bitcoin is in an all time high.

I don't know what's happening right now, but I actually got to, I'm going to do a little segue. I'm watching on the side right now. I'm going to do a little segue here. Bitcoin is pumping. So in our Slack channel, if you are not a member of our Slack, you should be. $29 a month. You get a community of lifters, dads, people that own big pig bucks, as well as Bitcoin. We have a crypto channel and I'm just typing in it right now. Bitcoin is pumping. Yeah. What's the election update Trey? Give it to us live real quick.

Just pretend you're Anderson Cooper's older brother for like one minute as we get ready to sign off here. Like tell me about, yeah, he's really good. Tell me about where you're from, county and PA. PA is still, I think this guy's name. Yeah, he's really good. Tell me about Williamson County and PA. PA is still, I think it's still kind of early. Yeah, what about Cobb County and Georgia? Georgia went Trump or is going Trump. Let me see. 81% and has 50.

It's almost he's at 52%. So I think they think he's looking like he's going to win Georgia. He won South Carolina looking like he's going to win Georgia, but he wants South Carolina looking like he's going to win North Carolina and he's ahead in Virginia right now. Like I'm going to do so. Interesting. How's it in Utah? Oh, Utah is pretty rare.

As I walked out, Utah is the most, Utah is the most like patriotic state I've ever been to. Utah is pretty rare. Has that locked up? Just the most Utah's the most like patriotic state I've ever been to. Utah is pretty. Oklahoma, Oklahoma. OK, yeah, it was like polls close and Oklahoma was like, ah, true.

It always goes back to the road system. But the traffic bad though. Uh, good roads equals bad traffic. Good. Yes, that's correct. Yeah. And South Carolina would just call those roads. Yeah. It doesn't make any sense. Well, in Utah, they're always doing rogue or he's in salt Lake City. They're always doing road construction.

So they're trying to always improve the roads. But as soon as they're done with a project, they just like. They're like, oh, well, the water line's 100 years old. So now we got to tear up the road again and do it again. And you're just like, what are we? What are we doing? We're doing. Yeah. I should have said yes to that bond.

Yeah. 1.2 billion. It's all my fault. Your dad could have bought himself a new hat. For a billion dollar hat? Yeah. A couple of them. I think we forgot to do a couple of things.

So one, this has been episode 0 4 5 of the okay. Okay. Guide ons. Oh, okay. Podcast. I thought it was good too, Jeff. Sponsored by BW attacks. They keep the lights out. The lights are on right now. Usually at this point of the show, we have someone reading ad read. We don't have a guest this week. We didn't want to bother anyone on election night. So we just, you know, we just raw dogged it, if you will, like a baked potato going in the oven. And so no, no advertisement from a person that's not us, but I would say B2B tax, they're a great company. They're based on Greenville, South Carolina. The owner's a Citadel grad, but he's from New England. Really interesting stuff there. And he can just, no matter what your situation life is,

he can help you get your taxes done. And we say it in jest sometimes. I will, I will be honest here. Sometimes we say in jest, it's never too early to worry about your taxes, but let's be honest. It's election day. It's November 5th. Like it is, it's Marine Corps Ramadan. It is time to start thinking about taxes. And I'll tell you, the good thing about BW is even if you hit them up late, he'll still get you done. But you don't want to be the guy that's staring April 15 down the barrel of a shotgun. You want to be on your tax refund in March buying strength co-cast iron plates. You don't want to be worried about that later. So BW tax LLC.com.
