All right, welcome back to episode 047 of the OK. OK, guide on. OK. Podcast powered by the strength. Go still powered by them. Today's date is uh, November the 19th was checking on the month real quick in the year of our Lord 2024. The block height is eight, seven, one, one, two, five. I have my Bitcoin grenade. Once the clock here on

the block clock cycles, we'll let you know the Bitcoin price. Shout out Zach Copley for the great clock. Do you think it's weird that the block height is lower than the amount of Bitcoin? No, that's what you want. That means that Bitcoin is just going to hit the moon before it's even, it didn't need to make all the blocks. I feel like since we've been recording. Don't you know anything about crypto? No, zero.

Yeah, okay. I've invested in this Ponzi scheme and I'm committed now. So yeah. I mean, you can't, you can't, you can't not, can't not. We're recording live from the beautiful upstate of South Carolina. Only a few episodes left in this headquarters. But we'll get to that. We'll get to that later. I don't think we'll even have time to get that to that tonight. There's so much to talk about. Beautiful Trey Gotlich joining us from Frisco, Texas. Jeff, major type. Biggie from the great, also beautiful from the great state of Utah. The price of Bitcoin is $91,820, which means that when we hit 96, this podcast will have doubled Bitcoin in one year or less than one year if it happens before episode 52. So if you don't listen to this podcast, you're an

idiot. You need to listen to the podcast because you will get rich. You will get rich. We are powered by the strength Co and we are all wearing the strength Co USA hat. Nothing was planned. We just all showed up. Looks like we've got to get a tray, a pair of prime glasses, you know, with them on the cusp, with them on the cusp of the I'm going to go with the Yeah. They're very well made. Although, although in Colorado, I think they just call them glasses. So that's how it goes. Are they polarized? They're, they're polarized for winning. Oh, not for, yeah, they are polarized. Yeah, they are. Yeah. They're polarized. Where are they made? Jeff, Jeff, you kind of look like Brad Pitt. No, that's not true. What those glasses on?

Cause they cover up most of my face. Yeah. Could be anybody under there. If Brad Pitt wore sunglasses. Yeah. Like really big ones. I can't believe you said I look like Dale Earnhardt in the pre show. That's going to make me sleep well tonight.

It looks great. It's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. It's good. The intimidator. that's a lot better than Steve, the pirate. I'll tell you that much. Number three, three. Um, got a lot of talking about the guests will come on in about 20 minutes. So I feel like college football is in a deep hole that will never come out of. So we should probably save that for post.

So with that said, Jeff, you want to go over the agenda on the slide deck? Absolutely. Gentlemen, gentlemen. OK. Start your engines. Agenda page. Yep, start your engines.

Pick up your trash. May as one sports. Two things, start your engines, pick up your trash. May as one sports. Two things start your engines, pick up your trash. All right. And. Okay. Sports topic, but not college football. I got mixed up on what night it was and I should have realized it was Friday night and Saturday night, but I did not watch the Jake Paul, Mike Tyson fight. Did either of you watch it? No, dude, that if you're not, you're just like, Oh, she was fussy.

Couldn't put her down. You know, I just had to finish watching the games. Did start late, watch the entire thing. I was hyped, you know, and I was like, Oh, I'm going to watch the whole thing. I'm going to watch the whole thing. I'm going to watch the whole thing. I'm going to watch the whole thing. I'm going to watch the whole thing. I'm going to watch the whole thing. I start late, watched the entire thing. Um, I was hyped, you know, and I, I know a guy that works in the trains with us and he was like, don't be hyped. Paul's going to win the whole thing's fixed. And

shut it. Did you really say that? I can't confirm that. Whoa. in sudden NDA on the podcast. Yeah. But yeah, I had, I had information, Jordy fixed that in post. Don't say where the person worked. I had information from a client of mine, just beep that out and they'll wonder if he's at the NSA or where. And he said, he said, yeah, it's fixed. And I'm like, there's no way this is fixed. You can't fix Mike Tyson because he'll just go crazy. But yeah, I didn't watch any of the pre fights. I just watched Tyson fight. It was entertaining. Twitter was a lot of fun because if you're, if you are us, meaning mid thirties, like Holy Holy field, Tyson fight, like that's I was like, I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym.

I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm watching the game, you know, now that I have a baby, I can't do anything wrong. So the ringside girls are running around and you know, the babies, mom's holding the baby and we're watching it. She's like, why are you excited about Tyson? I was like, I don't know. I said, I feel like I was like maybe eight. I said, wait, let me look this up. I said, yeah, 96. He fought Holyfield. I said, and dad took me to Walt Oliver's house and we went to his house and his wife made Buffalo chicken dip and he bought

it pay-per-view and dad was trying to get him to come to church because dad doesn't care about sports. So we went and I was like, I can't believe this. Like dad's taken me and we're watching sports pay-per-view. Back then there was ring girls running around. Like this is, I mean, I mean like sports food. I'm drinking Coca-Cola, like full, full throttle Coca-Cola. You know, it's not just sweet tea when she's even more full throttle, but for some reason better for you. If you're from the South, I'm like, this is incredible. And I always remember it. He bites his ear off. And I'm like, what a day. And I'm like, so mom, why was I the

only kid there? Like no one could drive yet. She called your dad. Pi just thought you would love it. And like, cause you love sports. I'm like, yeah, you're right. She's like, you should ask them. So I called dad because he's not here. I'm like, Hey dad, you remember when you took me over to the house and we watched the game and Buffalo chicken, they'd be saying, Oh yeah. Walt's house. I was trying to get him to come to church. I'm like, yeah, why? Like what, why, why'd you take me? Why didn't any of the other kids come? He goes, Oh, you're the only one around. That was a special moment. Family of five. Yeah. Family.

There's the. Fights. Oh, yeah. I mean, you had to go to bed. Well, no, I was watching the pre-fights. Well, I turn it on. I'm like, oh, it's getting ready to start thinking like there's no such thing as like. Like, oh, yeah, they're just going to go right to it. And so that's what I thought. So I turned it on. I was like, watch it.

Pre-fights. I'm like, oh, these are really good. And then like, I remember they were interviewing Mike Tyson and then he was just like, and chaps with nothing else on stage. And I was like, just cheek. I'm good. And I turned it off after that. I'm like, I think I've seen enough. We actually already have the guests in the waiting room and we've staged it. So I'm going to let him in when he doesn't know.

And he's going to be in chaps facing away from the camera. Were the pre-fights like actual boxers or was it like other celebrities fighting each other? They were like for belts. Like they were legit. They're like, hey, we're actual boxers so we're the undercard. Like the two girls that fought were really good.

Like they were all really good. It was- Besides the main event. So you didn't watch it, Jeff. You, Trey, you watched it at all or no? I didn't watch any of the main event. I watched all the other events. So Netflix was still working when you were watching. It would still cut out.

Because it melted down. Like completely melted down where you couldn't do it. And I guess they were expecting like $10 million, but they were set up for 20 and they had 65. Whoopsies. And it's just like bandwidth that you have to like add to the, you know, AWS or whatever more, just more money. So they fixed, they six fixed it. I don't know what AWS means.

I just said it to sound like I'm a nerd, but they fixed it. It just took them about about 15 minutes before like you could just watch it and it wouldn't cut out. My favorite is, I think it was Antonio Brown. Oh gosh. I saw this on Twitter was live streaming it on Instagram.

And like 10 million people watched it or something. He had more people illegally live streaming it than like who tuned into the NBA finals. That's crazy. I know that's nuts. It's the power of Tyson. I wish they would have just let Tyson loose though. Yeah. So you stand behind this that it was staged 100%. Oh I have no doubt. I know you can tell me the 58 or 60, whatever he is, but I mean, he landed a couple and I was like, Oh, just hit him with one more right jab and it's over. I don't know. I don't know if it was staged or not, but for the sake of my childhood and my dad, knowing that I would like sports, it's staged. Yeah. Yeah. How much did he make? Do you know how

much? I don't know. A couple of bucks. A couple of bitcoins. Yeah. Yeah. How much did he make? Do you know how much? A couple bucks. Couple, couple bitcoins. Couple. Yeah. Couple bitcoins. Yeah. I don't know. I thought it was entertaining. I guess he's done. Yeah. No, entertaining for sure. I guess it's cool. They do on Netflix. I didn't think so. I love that because the UFC, I like the UFC in theory, but it's just too difficult. And you know, you can illegally stream it, but that's too much work. And you got to like, it's illegal. Yeah. It's illegal, which I would never do. Yeah. That's what I meant by too much work. It's a lot of work to break the law. Yeah. So yeah, in any event, good fight. Yeah. 20 years ago, someone would have told you that you'd be watching Mike Tyson fight

like a Disney star on a DVD company. Yeah. It's also, yeah. There was a tweet, there was a tweet that I ripped off. I saw it on Instagram. So I was like, Oh, it'll be safe to, to rip off. And then someone said stolen valor. And then I threw the guy some credit, but it was like, if Tyson loses tonight, a piece of my childhood will be gone forever. It'll be like watching Jordan get crossed up by Mr. Beast. And I was like, that is genius. Dang. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not saying it's no longer prime time, but I'm going to dawn the shades.

Whoa. Donna. Yeah. And I'm also going to take the cap off because I get these high speed headphones and I'm boiling over here. Strengthen our hat. Made in USA. Most hats aren't made in USA. We got a tag inside to prove it. This podcast is powered by the Strength Co. But more importantly, it is sponsored by BW

Tax, the world's favorite tax accountant. And who better to tell us about it then? BW tax. I love them. They're based out of South Carolina, but they can do taxes for you anywhere. They have CPAs. They have the team that you need to cut through all the red tape. They did trades taxes, got them in and got them out.

We've got to mention that whenever you're calling them, don't think you're going to be talking to some chat GPT, some bot. You're not going to be put on hold for 25 minutes and then told we're going to call you back and then end up at church when they finally do and not be able to answer because you're in communion with the people that are around you and how could you possibly stop?

When you make the call, they're going to answer BW Tax LLC from South Carolina. in communion with the people that are around you and how to possibly stop. When you make the call, they're going to answer BW Tax LLC from South Carolina to everywhere. Can anyone verify that? I can, man. I talked to our boy today. Was you and BW talk about?

Taxes? Man, I called him. And so one, I just was trying to test it to see if we could, like, if you actually called him, like, do you get BW? Or just a warm body. I didn't. Yeah.

I'm like, do I believe? Independent consumer check. I'm like, do I believe what I'm preaching here? Yeah. Called the number, and it said,, talk to me, W click one clicked one picked up on the first ring. I just, I don't know. I had some tax questions.

I was talking to him about family. How did the phone get answered? Uh, he said, I think he said, hello. I go, okay. I went down to the office and, uh, we went to get lunch later and he's like, oh, I had a big client call today. I'm like, oh yeah. He's like, he's like, yeah. Um, the business line was ringing and I looked down and it said Robert got lich.

He goes, so I just answered the phone and went BW tax. And, uh, he goes, okay. Yeah. Um, it was a great conversation. A lot of business was had. That's good. Feeling better about your taxes. Oh dude, I was worried, but yeah, I'm at ease at the moment. Yeah. We'll love it. Love that. You guys want a monkey update? Yes. Okay.

Are they all dead? No, no. So, so I mean, you know, I hadn't asked my dad in a while. My dad was here after my mom was well, he came up to join her. And so we're sitting there talking. I'm like, Hey, any update on the monkeys? He's like, Oh yeah, big update. He's like, they've caught 36 of 43. And I said, Oh, it's so specific. How do you know? He goes, Oh, I saw Dr. Ward. He goes, you remember Dr. Ward? And he's like about 85 now, but he was the head veterinarian over there. And I ran into him and he said that, uh, they've been getting, catching him with monkey biscuits. And I was like, wait, I was like, wait, what? He's like, oh yeah. He's like, he's like, he sent me, he sent me an article. And it's like a spokesperson

from whatever the company's name says that the monkeys have been singing and dancing since their return and are completely unharmed. They've caught 36 of the 43 monkeys using monkey biscuits and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. And I was like, well, how did they get away? And he said, uh, a former employee just haphazardly left the gate open after feeding them and they just all ran away. And, uh, yeah. So 36 of you had no further question on monkey biscuits.

Do we get a recipe? No, I did. And then I thought it was made up. So then I looked him up and it's like a treat for monkeys that you can buy called monkey biscuits. And it's like it's like branded and everything. Not a meme. Let me pull it up here. I wonder what the potential sponsor monkey biscuits. Great.

Looking at the macros of the monkey biscuits you can buy put into the slack. See if grandpa. Great. Looking at the macros of monkey biscuits. Oh, yeah. You can buy. Put into the Slack, see if Grandpa knows. Yes, Grandpa says. I wonder what Wingbot has to say also. What Buffalo Wild Wing sauce would pair best with monkey biscuits? You can buy a three pound bag, which is standard, of monkey biscuits. Of course. Healthy and crunchy biscuit treat for prairie dogs,

parrots, squirrels, sugar gliders, hamsters, rats, rodents, Amazons, Mac-Hals, cockatoos, birds, and of course, monkeys. Monkeys, okay. Interesting mix of animals. Specific uses are for dental health support, appetite stimulation, and a protein source for young animals.

Special ingredients, D-hold soybean meal, fish meal, and animal fat. See all product information. Yeah, that's 4.1 of five stars. Item form, biscuit, breed recommendation, small brand name, exotic nutrition. So exotic nutrition, potential sponsors of the OK Podcast, but the monkeys are doing just fine. South Carolina, 36 of 43, seven to go. They're singing and dancing. We got this. Just seven monkeys. Seven monkeys. Oh my goodness.

We got a short slide. Yeah, I got a short one real quick. I've seen a bunch of commercials pop up for the subway 699 meal deal for a six inch sub. Remember it not being that long ago. That was a $5 footlong. Thanks, Obama. Yeah.

Wow. If there is a sign of the times. Do it. 699 six inch after the $5 footlong. Are you kidding me, Subway? Yeah. Telling you what, man. Dark. 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 the best part. That's the best part. It's a good one. I saw a meme. I saw a meme. Yeah. I saw a meme and it was like, you're watching college football, your team throws a pick six, cuts to commercial and it's just whopper whopper.

It's like the worst. Something. Yeah, I love it. Worst feeling. I have two nephews on the Anna side that are big sports fans and they're like nine and seven maybe then older brothers like 13 and cool. And so he doesn't get in on it. But like whenever I'm over there and we're watching a game, like it comes on and they're like start bouncing around and whopper whopper. And then I wait and they stare at me and we all go, you rule. And they love it. Yeah, it's

great. Shout out my two nep Yeah, that's great. That's really cool. Shout out my two nephews names that I can't remember. Shocking. We love you. Matthew and someone. One and two, we love you both. Real quick, you heard us talk about the Slack channel. You heard us talk about GrantBot in the Slack channel. We do have bots that we have been training to be like Grant. So

they will not remember your name, but they will give you clever diet advice and you can post a photo of your food and it'll give you macros. You can ask them to write an email for you. You can post a photo of wings and wing bottle come up and talk about the best sauces, a wing bot, whatever you want. They can happen. $29 a month. That's probably facetious. $29 a month. That's probably facetious. Uh, and the show notes, you'll see a little code that might be okay. Okay. And save you 10 bucks. Um, get in there for the life of your membership. Yeah. Get in that Slack channel.

All right. Let's get this guy on here. I both, I both, I both. I both. Hey, what's up guys? Glad to be on. Thanks for the invite. Yeah, man. You look very professional. Yeah, I've got a little library in the back.

My custom made shelves trying to get up to y'all's level. Yeah. library in the back, my custom-made shells, trying to get up to y'all's level. Yeah. I mean, I just, I just hung one of the random gifts that the Marine Corps gave me and have a Bitcoin grenade, but now it looks good. Yeah. So your homeowner and Louisville. Yes. Sounds like a local. Yeah. Are all your projects done? You feel like the house is good?

Yeah. House is good. I've gotten bored, so I threw my name in the hat for another mobilization. So out of tradition. Out the door, as one does. We're definitely going to talk about that. But I got to say, because I know the custom

bookshelves behind you, you've sent me some photos at all the upgrades that you've done completely yourself because why would you hire anyone? What's the favorite install in the house? I think my favorite was my bourbon barrel kitchen table. It's a little rough around the edges. Still an amateur carpenter. But you know, inspiration from Etsy and some internet photos and hookup for my bourbon barrel guy. And yeah, got that thing done. So what type of barrel is it? So they're old furniture

grade bourbon barrels. So you talk to the barrel distributors, they can't be reused for any other liquor. So they'll set them off the side and then sell them to you a lot cheaper than the distilleries pay for ones that actually hold liquid. But was it like Bullet? Was it like Buffalo Trace? They weren't branded. So I don't think it was any of the main manufacturers.

Big Etsy guys. So it's the same bourbon that they use for everyone, but just before they put the bottles label on it. Correct, yes, yeah. It's probably like the Costco versions that they sell. Yeah, yeah, all right. Perfect. Okay, well, I don't know, Jeff, you start.

Oh gosh. Well, okay. Should we give you an introduction? Yeah. Well, every time we get an introduction, okay, yeah, introduction. All right, so I'll- Good call we get an introduction. Okay. Yeah. Introduction. All right. So all the culture, a good call. Keep it down to the civilian level. I guess I can kind of tie in how I know I have everyone here.

But Andy Ivo's I was in the Marine Corps with all three of these guys. I went to went to University of Missouri back when they were big 12. So that's kind of where my heart's still at. Old school. Yeah. Worked as kind of where my heart's still at. Old school. Yeah. Worked as a mechanical engineer, joined the Marine Corps, attempted to go back to college, went back on active duty again, came off, lived on Grant's couch for six months,

moved around a bit, deployed again, and then ended up back here in Kentucky. OK, so a key part that he left out of that is when he lived on my couch for six months, it was during 2020, so who knows why. But he also is the star. And I think our, it's definitely top five, I haven't checked lately,

but I think number three all time best YouTube videos. And it's when we started making wooden squat racks in my driveway. And I'm like running around with a chicken with its head cut off. And I just send the video guy by, I'm like, just film Andy. He'll get real technical and like put a bunch of words on the screen and it'll go great. And man, a lot of people were building wooden squat racks back then. And yeah, it's up there. I think our top video ever is like 400,000 views or 380 or something like that. And you're at like, you're well over a hundred. So yeah, there was no future for you in video. No, Yaki's a gunny bench, but I aspire to be to that one day. One day. Yeah, one day. But yeah, that was exciting times.

Yeah, that was. And we all lived together in the past. Yes, in our gated Dana Point community. That was a lot of fun stories there. I drove by their house the other day. Oh really? And you didn't send us a photo? Well, I couldn't get into the gated

community. They don't have the code anymore. Well, yeah, it's probably still two, four, one, three pounds. Just follow the delivery driver in every other week. Someone would mow the gate down with their car and you can just drive in freely. Trey, what do you got for him before I get to the meat of the issue? What do I have for Ibis? Yeah, I don't know. All I got is just a bunch of stories. I got a bunch of it. Like my favorite Andy Ibo story. I think- Just kick it with that to start. Man, probably it was probably the first time Ibo met my wife. He was just randomly passing through Fort Stockton, Texas. And he came. It was I think he came pretty late.

You fixed my TV and then you left. And Abby's like, Who is that guy? I'm like, that's just that's just who he is. He's just he comes. He says the second thing he's gone like a ship in the night. Well, that's been between that and that. Just like, I don't know, just him like foregoing his duties as a Marine Corps officer

to build a trebuchet is probably my favorite. Let's clarify real quick. I have us and by fix the TV for Trey, you mean you plugged it in, right? Yeah, there was probably that or HDMI cord or something, but. It was sick. It was more than that. It was that.

He, I'm pretty sure he hacked into it and like reprogrammed it. It was. Yeah, it wasn't one. We did. We set that up. But it really I think it was a pizza port delivery run is really the reason I came dropping off some premium beer. But that's been the fun thing about the Marine Corps is you meet people from all over the country. So in my what's been an annual tradition now driving from coast to coast, I've always got places to stop. That is true by man.

And it's true. The trebuchet you made was pretty epic. Well, we did have a couple other mechanical engineers, one with a doctor in mechanical engineering who later taught at the Naval Academy. So had a lot of knowledge base. Was that the short dude in Quebec? What was his name? Wheely. Short dude from Quebec. Wheely. Yeah, he was a good dude. I liked him.

Yeah. Smart. Smart. First time I saw him, I thought he was walking towards me and he had his second lieutenant rank on. And I was like, that's gold rank, but that guy is definitely a major. He's so old. And I was like, started to kind of salute and then like, he, you know, it was just like, Oh no, all right. That's second lieutenant. I was like, Oh, I thought you were a major dude. Yeah. No. Was it, didn't he go to, do you have ties to Alabama? Mississippi state.

Mississippi state. Okay. Not the same thing. Yeah. Same, same, but different. Yeah. Same, same, but different. So we find that when we get into the nitty gritty of the Marine Corps and its details that everyone logs off. So without getting, you know, talking too much about ILOC and this and that. So like, how many times have you deployed? Cause I think it's more than all of us combined. I guess they've all been as a reservist. And then what's your average time? Like, how have you made this life work? And why do you do it this way? So I guess total number of deployments, technically, I think it's five, but two of those were in Japan. So it was like back to back to back UDPs.

Okay. But yeah, done two 31st news and then Sancom deployment. So kind of been around the world. One of those was active duty or no, I guess three of them were active duty, two in reserves. What I like about the reserve component is I'm kind of like a, you know, a free agent in sports instead of your monitor directing your future. So somebody telling you where you have to go, I can pick and choose. So it may not be the most desirable thing, but at least I can say that I chose to do it. So that's your in control. Yeah. That's kind of been my persona going forward. And also kind of like my new tempo now where

I just work for nine months and then I take six months off, then I work for nine months. So. Yeah. And the six months, the six months off is the deployment, right? Well, no, no, the six months off is coming back to the rear. And then deciding I can't do anything in the civilian sector and then going back and deploying again. So what's, what's this next one? The one I'm hoping to get is in Southcom. So based out of Honduras and kind of punching around from there. Why not be a good one? Yeah, see a different part of the world. Okay. So you mentioned in the Marine Corps, you meet lots of great folks. We've interviewed

quite a few Marines. I don't think we've interviewed anyone outside of artillery, have we? Don't think we have. We definitely have not. No, well, I've expanded beyond artillery. I have five. That's where I was headed. So now you've lat moved or whatever you call it in the office. Is it lat move for officer? They're all still secondary MOS's. Artillery is still first in my heart. You can take the boy away from the cannons, but you can't take the cannon out of the boy.

That's what I'm always saying. Still the current club. But I'm also a JTAC, a civil affairs officer, an information operations planner, and a security forces advisor. Okay, wait. So planner, and a security forces advisor. OK, wait, so you're not, aren't you? You're not a civil affairs officer. I am. Yes, that's my current bill. Oh, OK. Is that is that you're in charge of Facebook post?

So no, that's what we used to call was ComStrat. I can't what used to be combat camera. They've restructured all that. So we get the public affairs guidance, but we're the people that actually like talk to the civilians on the ground, kind of relaying the message. But as you can tell, they don't necessarily want to put this beautiful face on camera. Which is behind the camera.

Yeah, not with that microphone, but they might put your face out there. Okay, Honduras. That's cool. That explains a lot that the Marine Corps decided to put that guy in charge who has a 2002 laptop. Yeah. Trey, I'm just ready for this. Can I come raid your trash cans? Maybe I could find a better one. I was just waiting it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was just waiting for me to give him an upgrade. Yeah. Yeah. They're like, we must retain this guy.

He's so familiar with our current equipment set. They're like, how is that possible? Everyone has a MacBook. No, not this guy. He's literally running off the same Hewlett Packard that the core runs off of. Are you Windows 95? Oh, no.

I'm thinking I'm Windows 10 now. So I'm almost up there. There you go. OK., I'm windows 10 now. So I'm almost up there. Yeah. Okay. Yeah going somewhere. Okay Jeff I got one but if you got one go I'll give one give him one Yeah, okay So you have really seen the world All the places you've been. What's the most fun? I mean, you're from an undisclosed location. When I say undisclosed, meaning like you don't

even know somewhere between Texas, Ohio, Missouri. And yeah. So I think I'm on 12, 12 US States now. But yeah, I'm kind of geographically confused. Little, from a little bit everywhere. Favorite place in the world? Yeah, like of all the like places you've gone in the, cause you know, the Marine Corps, it's like, you work up for this deployment, everything's a bunch of nonsense, then you finally go,

and then it's a bunch of sitting around, and then once in a while, you're like, wow, I would have never been here if it wasn't for this. So like, I don't know. So what are those? Southeast Asia had a lot of awesome countries. Malaysia, if you're wanting to get like the Thailand Vietnam experience, but you know, a little different flavor. So I'm like the, like the Borneo portion of Malaysia. There's a little town called Kota Kinabalu. There's a little town called Coto-Kinabalu. Kimchi.

Maybe some kimchi there, but Coto-Kinabalu. That was a fun spot there, pretty close to the equator. I think I've got my worst sunburn in my life there. I've seen you as some bad ones. Yeah. So Jeff, you've been to the same place? There's like, yeah, like a training range very near there. And then we were on whatever, anti-malaria pills or something.

Or we were on something that made you more susceptible to UV rays. And they didn't tell anyone this. And I remember just everyone on the OP just got roasted. And it was just like my nose was swollen from how sunburned it was. It was great. Classic Corbin, hey, hand these out, but don't read the side effects or anything. like my nose was like swollen from how sunburned it was. Yeah. It was great. Classic Corman, hey, hand these out,

but don't read the side effects or any other preliminary warnings on it. No, the more classic Corman is when you have me who like is the sunblock OIC, like always putting on sunblock. And I'm like, hey Corman, make sure we have 10 bottles of sunblock. And oh, you got it, sir. We just did this

in our last day. T we go to the cruiser range, not a tree in sight. And we're 10 minutes in like, you can just see people's faces peeling. So I go to the corner. I'm like, Hey, where's all the sunblock I got? And he's like, Oh, I left it. And I'm like, what? I'm like, well, do you have like the issued sunblock? He's like, no, sir. So I like grab my sunblock and it treats like 12 out of 140 Marines. And luckily there was an army unit passing by and I went up to the most ginger looking like me person there was. I was like, do you have sunblock? He's like, I do. And I have another guy that has like four sunblocks. And I was like, can I like buy them? He's like, oh, you can have it. You guys are Marines. And so they all put on sunblock, but every good unit needs a sunblock OIC.

That's for sure. I think, yeah, Diana was always the sunblock OIC for StrengthCo. I think I remember at one point she was chasing me around the shop forcing me to apply it. Yeah. Hey, I got to keep that scan looking good. Okay. So Malaysia area is your favorite. One of the spots I think in most countries you go to the Marine Corps is pretty good at sending you the, you know, the most remote regions. So you get to see a lot of things that typical tourists don't. And what's your least favorite? I guess probably spots within the United States. I'm not too fond of 29 Palms.

No, I knew you were going to say that. Norfolk, Virginia is not that great either. Oh, interesting. It's a hot take. I mean, maybe subjectively, just having been to a lot better bases, it wasn't my top destination. Other cool spots. Where's Fort Sill rink?

Well, being from Oklahoma has a near deer spot in my heart, so I'll never dog on Oklahoma. Okay. I thought you were from. Don't try to nail it down, Trey. Trey, let me tell you this. No matter what county he's from in Oklahoma, they voted for Trump. That's true.

I can guarantee you that. Well, I was from Cleveland County, so that may be a little, it may be Trump, but they probably were close, probably the closest. Might be a little pink, is what you're saying. I love that Ibo's doesn't know that every county in Oklahoma voted for Trump. Yeah. Cleveland County.

I was graduated high school like 10 minutes from my high school. Yeah. Texas. Yeah. And he was like 14 years younger than you when he did it. I don't think so. Wait, where do you get this guy's nine? Let's just go ahead and get him to graduate. He's too smart. I might be like, yeah, like, bro, I was only I was only 24. I wish I still act like I'm 24, but I feel like I'm 34. Oh, man. Cleveland County. It's probably going to take me too long.

You said Bolivia, right? Yeah, maybe kind of like Honduras area, Central America and they do a lot of... For what what billet would this be for? It's a joint planter billet but my name's in the hat. It's not finalized yet so not putting all my eggs in one basket. I have a few different things I'm working but on the reserve side there's this deploy to dwell timeline so they ideally want to be back for as long as you're gone the last time. So I always have to kind of weasel my way in and tell them, no, I'm fine. Just send me again.

But there's a waiver for everything. Yeah, there's waivers for everything. There's a waiver for everything. So it's what we've always said here. I'm OK. Yeah. There's always a workaround. When would that one start? Probably like February, I'd leave.

Okay, so as someone who's done, I'm asking for a friend, as someone who's mobilized multiple times, and you get closer to the activation date, and whoever you're attaching to does not care that you're setting up your life to be gone. They're just like, you're going to fill this billet. We want you to do it now. Do you just like count that as white noise or do you jump right in? Or are you just like, I know how this works. My activation date is, I don't know. Let's throw out a theoretical date of January 2nd, just totally in theory. Are you just like, hey, let me just hold the line

as best I can and then I'm 100% in, or are you just off and not working and you're like, oh, something to do? There's always prep work that goes into it. Ideally, you wanna be able to hit the ground running once you arrive, but just like anything in life, it's really not relevant until you're actually there face to face. So people may try and work with you ahead of time, but until

you're actually there working with them on a daily basis, they won't start caring until then. So I would say do as much as you can to prepare, but just anticipate that it's just going to be a firehose of stuff coming at you as soon as you actually hit the mobilization timeline. I'll tell my buddy. Yeah. It'll be very helpful. Yeah. If your buddy needs suggestions on places to go in Southeast Asia, I can shoot those over to him too. Yeah, he probably does. I'm going to get a good tan. Yeah. Yeah. Get a good tan. Okay. Okay. Okay. Moving. You've done it a lot, I assume. Yes. Are you a light on that? I mean, you're

not that light in the deck because if you kept that many books, that means you value some things in your life. Are you a, Hey, I will liquidate down to everything fits in my truck. Are you a pod guy? Are you a rent a U-Haul and ship the truck? So I guess I've always been somewhat of a pack rat and have acquired things through the years, but I was always kind of limited. That I always lived in like a one bedroom apartment or something. But now that I own a house, just the floodgates are open and I see you go acquired a lot of stuff.

So having helped some friends move this past summer, it's an experience I never want to do again. So I think if I move again, when I sell the house, you get everything in it. And then I just start from scratch. But yeah, typically always move myself, which was a fun experience moving from Atlanta up here on a third floor with no elevator moving washer and dryer mattresses and everything else by myself. So yeah, I can do it. But I miss the old days. When you do PCS moves, the Marine Corps would let you move yourself, but you'd have to weigh everything. So it was always this like tactical game of how can I fit as much stuff as possible to like maximize the payout for my move. So going to

like the base scales and weighing the car and then filling everything else you own, the payout for my move. So going to like the base scales and weighing the car and then filling everything else you own in the car, moving it there. Okay. So as a guy with time in Texas, Oklahoma, California, because I feel like California actually produces some good country artists. We've talked a good bit about on this podcast about our top 10, but there's never any rules. There's never any like, you know, real data to measure it to. But if you were just gonna, and you don't have to do them in order, maybe as you start saying songs, you will be like, ah, that one's top five. And then maybe by the time you're done, that one's, you know, number one, but this always causes a lot of controversy

for my mom and the three other listeners that are on the podcast right now. But, yeah, my friend. Yeah, my friend that's deploying. 10 songs. Sometimes we say iconic country and then people want to challenge us on the word iconic. But when you're just like, I'm driving across the country and I'm going through the potholes of an Oklahoma highway, what comes to mind? So I think my favorite country artists, Trey knows him, Texas country, which is kind of a subset of its own, but Casey Donahue band. So, uh, it's not really one song. All of his songs are basically the same life story about him being, you know, kind

of white trash live in that white trash lifestyle, but they're entertaining if you actually listen, but they're all catchy tunes. True. Uh, Josh Abbott bands a good one. Can't go wrong with the she's like Texas got a little Casey Musgraves in there before she you know hit it big. Another one I like Grant's favorite Sonny Ledford. Oh yeah. About pun. That's real. Having the Astro turf on your on your boat and Walmart swim trunks. That's always good. Yeah.

The new country is well, I guess what would be defined as country, I don't know if I'm sure you guys would argue that, but like Post Malone, this stuff's kind of catchy. I don't know if you guys have listened to it much, but. I listened to that whole album. Yeah, like am I gonna put it in a category with Waylon Jennings?

No. But is it kind of catchy? I'll give you kind of catchy. Yeah. So it's up there, I guess, yeah. On a cross country road trip. We got to pull up my Spotify. I'm not always the greatest with particular artists.

Personally, I did a song with Dwight Yoakam on his new album that I really like. Yeah, and then he does another one with Noah Khan, the Dial Drunk. That one's pretty catchy too. Yeah, he also did one with Jelly Roll, so for whatever that's worth. What are you saying about Jelly Roll? What else? I would say kind of country adjacent, more folk, but you can't go wrong with some Trampled

by Turtles. That's always a classic one there. Let's pull up. What else do I have on my phone here? So you're kind of like a country alternative guy. I mean, or alternative country. Yeah, I think I listened to a little bit of everything. So I don't really limit it to one genre. I mean, a culture. Yeah, I've always said that about Ivo. You've never stopped saying it. But yeah, the country's always on there. Maybe a little hip hop, death metal, just anything that pops in. Like, Hey, I both named 10 country songs that you think are

top 10. Here's 15 bands that I'd listened to on a cross country trip. Four of them are country and the rest of them are. That's good. You're non-biased. Yeah. I should have compiled my show notes. You put me on the spot.

I've said screw your list. I'm just going to start naming things I like. You don't want to stir up too much controversy amongst the listeners and get them chirping on Instagram. Mm hmm. Hey, when that happens. Hey, I was I know the earth kind of the subject matter expert on this, but I have a work trip to Vegas coming up here in a

couple weeks. And I know you've been once or twice. Do you have any? Is there something I need to go see? Where are you staying? That's a I think I don't know. Is it on the first question on the strip off the strip? I think on the strip. Yeah. So I'll just take Can you look it up? Yeah, look at it. Yeah, I probably can. That'll kind of determine your foot path. But usually you like pull up all the clubs and see who's playing and that'll kind of determine your itinerary for the weekend You're out of season for a pool party. So have to stick to them stick to the night club. Sorry Trey. Yeah

They're cheap, oh, yeah real cheap We're saying to the hotel in the Tesla tunnel connects to it. Have you seen this? I don't think that was constructed the last time I was here. It's been a few years. Is that near the sphere? I think so, but it's, all I know is that,

so like Tesla built this underground tunnel system and the cars just kind of go in between all the different stops on the strip. I think I've seen that. Didn't Elon initially promote it? He was like selling bricks from the tunnel and you could buy like the Tesla brick. I'm not that into the Wiesel.

I just know that's what I'm saying. But yeah, I'm familiar with it, but I don't know the exact layout. If it's by the sphere, the sphere's kind of off the strip a little bit. I think it's a little closer to Legion Stadium. But- I gotta say this Tesla tunnel looks pretty cool actually.

That might be- Yeah, it looks really cool. Yeah, I think, well you have a Tesla grant. Maybe that's a road trip. Yeah, road trip. I mean- On your way- I could ride with my buddy.

I could ride with my buddy that's got a head out there anyway. Yeah. That'd be perfect, yeah. And you could just, could just stop by Vegas. But I guess for you, so a lot of the casinos have giant sports books. So literally any possible sporting event that's going on in the world, there's like an array of like 50 screens. So they have like big leather equiners, place some bets, sit back, drink a couple of beers, watch a bunch of sports.

Okay. There's place in bed, sit back, drink a couple of beers, watch a bunch of sports. Oh, okay. It's always prime people watching everywhere you go, just seeing all the interesting people that come across the world that go to Vegas. Yeah, I've never been before. I've heard the food's pretty good too. Yeah, anything you could possibly think of. They got it in and out.

Green and orange is the best. Yeah, White Castle, all the top brands. Where I don't know where your hotel is in proximity, but there is a spot in the Palazzo where it looks like Italy and you're inside, but they've like the tops painted. There's like gondolas going up and down. All the restaurants are there. I've always thought that was like pretty cool. Okay. Good. Yeah. And the Palazzo has a barbell gym and there's a gym called the barbell strip

or a strip barbell, which is right behind Caesar's palace and the strip barbell club. I think it is. And that's pretty cool. Not that you're going to lift, but you know, as a new dad, sometimes it can be challenging to get your workouts in maybe on the roads, the time to do it. But the nice thing is you go on the website and like the guy's actually intelligent, like where you don't have to talk to anyone. You just do it all and you walk up and you, you pick a time and you scan it. And it's like a room with like a full power rack, all the stuff, a deadlift platform. There's another gym that you can buy a different pass to, but I always, I say always, I've always gone there and done this.

No, I've done it once, but it's pretty easy. Yeah, it's pretty easy access, pretty cool. Also, you should look for sporting events. I went to a sporting event once with Dee, and I was like, oh, this is top. It's fun, because you can do something productive, like watch a sporting event, you know. Yeah, no, first time, I've never been before. I've always tried to get me to go with him. Oh, you're being shocking. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I'm not going to face. I haven't been in three

years, maybe never again, but yeah. Yeah. Never say never say never. That was your, your running mate, I think. Yeah. Devin's got a couple, like, oh, where's Devin? A couple of kids in settled down. So it's just me. The last one standing. Your last one. Yeah. Last one. Yeah. It's true. One day. Stay golden pony boy on the other side. Yeah. Uh, well, I feel like you've probably been one of our more loyal listeners. As you've listened

to all these Marines talk and like the greatest thing about having a guest on is like, well, we can't find organic listeners, but if we bring people on over the next 10 years, we could build up a real following. And so everyone that we've had on in the past listens now, right? And they tell their buddies and they listen, anything you want to say to, I don't know, Teal, Shepherd, no, that's the only strategy. Yeah. So in 10 years, we'll have 520 listeners.

That's impressive. Yeah. It can't be anything. But usually these things operate on like an exponential curve. So it's always, you know, slow to start and then it explodes. You run the numbers on that. I don't know. I don't know.

Anything you want to tell to the devil dogs listening before we kind of take you through the things we take everyone through? I think the Marine Corps small enough that I always end up running to people in the weirdest spots in the world. So I guess I'll see you guys soon then is really my message to them because I always seem to run into people. It's just like when I was out in Japan running to Cooley and Tomas Chesky and a bunch of those guys from the old Tango battery. Yeah, Cooley, long time listener. He is. Is he actually?

Yeah, no, he'll text me stuff and I'll be like, what is he talking about? And I'm like, Oh, I probably said that on the okay podcast. Good dude, good dude. I don't know how he is at taxes, but a good dude. Well, I got an invite for you Ibo's because you know, my buddy's activating January 2nd on 29 palms and go right into ITX like three days later. But all the planning that everyone wants to talk to me about beforehand is how we're going to get all the staff and oh, to Las polgas for St. Barbara's day on January 9th and our names and our seedings and our logos for the name charts. So we don't barracks, my buddy doesn't for all that stuff. But, but we, but we we are for sure gonna be at st

Barbara's day, so, you know, maybe you want to come out I'm extending the invite I'll add you to the godfather battery roster and Make a trip out to California Just just an idea. Yeah. No, that'd be awesome. I think I'm Busy the first weekend, but I should be free the 9th. Maybe I'll set up some IDPs and. That's right, yeah. You get paid for it.

You can't afford not to go. Yeah, you can courtesy drill with a battery and I lock. There we go. Now I'm in the nitty gritty. Trey, you want to take him through our sponsor? Abbas, you actually listen to this? Yeah. I catch probably every-

Hey, so you know everything about our sponsor, right? Yeah, BW Tax. Ah, good guy. Great guy. Helped with sponsor. But- But- Better at taxes.

Yes. Better at taxes. Better at taxes. Yeah. Yeah, you knew that. You were just waiting for me to say that. You knew that. You were just baiting us. All right, man. So we're going to run you through the gambit here. So we're going to give you an

opportunity as we do to all the guests to give a little impromptu ad read. Sounds like you know all the facts already, but we'll spit them out to you just in case. And then you go through and you take it. You do every one with it. And you can go for a long die try, or you can go for a little 10 second clip here. So Jeff, why don't you spit some facts at them about BW? OK, well, Andy, you've lived in what you said, about 12 different states? Well, good news is BW can do your taxes

no matter what state you're in. Even though if you're in Texas, you don't have to take taxes or whatever. But yeah, wherever you're living, you give BW and his team a call, they're gonna be able to help you out with the state you're living in. That's pretty good.

That's a good one. Yeah, I gotta say, what I like about BW tax is, you know, we often say a warm body and people just picture like a middle-aged female secretary sitting there. But this is a real guy and not only will he give you tax advice, but maybe you're a new dad and he'll give you dad advice. Like, you know, stuff that you never knew you thought you needed. The other thing is if you got a deployment coming, or maybe you got a deployment for 140 guys coming up, and they're gonna deploy before tax season, he'll be like, hey, this is everything I need

for each one of these guys. I'll have everything filed before you even leave the door. So he works well with the military. What we like to say on the podcast is, man, that guy supports the troops. And he does, and you can't, you can't dislike that. Hmm. I called him today. This is true story. I called him today. It rang one time and he

picked up. So you don't get a little chat bot, whatever it is, it says, he called me WBW picks up. It's very impressive. Every time, guaranteed. That's what he promised. Well, he's always said that. Yeah. He's always said that. So with this information and that your most scientific brain,

see if you can give me a really solid ad read whenever you're ready and take it away. Well, as a longtime listener, first time caller, I've heard the accolades of BW tax throughout the, you know, the months and months of this podcast has been growing. And it sounds like, you know, he's willing to work with individuals to groups and he's got, you know, a different outlook that you're not going to get from a turbo tax.

and he's got a different outlook that you're not gonna get from a Turbo Tax. Just the sincerity that you wouldn't normally get from your normal tax man. BW is there, he's got your back and supporter of all the Carolina sports teams and everything else that the greater Greenville, Asheville area has got to offer. BW Tax has my highest recommendation.

Ooh. BW tax LLC.com. That's it. Has the highest recommendation. Are you finished? Is that a fit rap that you were writing? Yeah, I was gonna say. That sounds like it.

Highest recommendation. Must retain. Highly recommended for career level school. Promote, promote, promote above. Recommend hiring a head of other CPAs. Promote above peers. That's it. Yeah. On the R.O.'s recommendation, he's at the top of the Christmas tree.

There it is. Top of the Christmas tree. Call that guy at eight block. A six people know what that means. Listen to this. There it is. Call that guy, call that guy at eight block. Six people know what that means. Listen to this. Not four number here. Not, not to be confused with the Christmas tree card.

Two people remember. Christmas tree card. And you are JTAC, right? Yes, but I'm no longer qualified. I've pumpkined. Oh, okay. Do you see that over the radio? You called it another, I can't have a JTAC, but I'm no longer qualified. Yeah. I don't have a designation letter, so maybe in a pinch,

but you are a JTAC. Yes. That's a little paperwork here and there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's a waiver for getting into McTims. Make some red boxes green. There you go. Totally McTims says it's all that matters. It's called a thing. Maybe. Yeah. All right, Jeff. Hmm. All right.

Well, last little thing we got for you. You know, our little catchphrase here on the podcast, the namesake of the podcast is okay. And so about who would you say is like the crustiest gunny or maybe even like terminal staff sergeant you've ever worked with? Is there one that pops to mind? Yes. Who is the ops chief when I first got there.

Miller, Staff Sergeant Miller. Okay, that's a good one. That's a great one. He was crusty. Yeah, that guy was crusty in a lot of ways. Okay, so thinking about him, I want you to conjure up your best, okay. Right, like maybe there was someone in the FTC

that was messing up on a Fateds. Someone came in like set down an open lid coffee mug on top of one of the tables in there, like a definite no-no in the FTC, like do not do that. And he's about to light them up, but to kick it off, he gives them a good okay. So let's hear your best okay. All right. Okay. The old smoker's cough. The old smoker's cough. That was good. I love it. I love it.

Well, Andy, we got to say thanks for coming on. It's been great. And this all happened because we tagged you on an Instagram posts and you said, bring me on. So if you're not following us on Instagram, you're probably missing the spot on the okay podcast. Um, any place you want people to find you anything, you know, you want eligible women to know. I think I know the answer.

No, I'm good. I'll just live in the shadows, but, uh But yeah, just throw in one pitch. Go Tigers. We had a rough game last week about against South Carolina. But I think we'll strike back against Mississippi State this week. Hmm. How did I do one strikes back in Mississippi State? How did I do about not rubbing it in? No, you were very, very humble about it. I mean, it's a quality loss for you guys.

We're still ranked 23. So that's a good resume builder And I like I like recently quality loss for us. But yeah quality win for you guys. Yeah I also love how easy it is to get on this show just I'm gonna be on the show next week. Not even ask just tell like I'm gonna be on the show next week. Not even ask, just tell. I'm going to be on the show. Yeah, I don't know why you're settling me. You should just set your bar higher. You could probably get some top quality people in here.

I love where the bar is at though, I best. This is what we want. As I like to say, the OK Podcasts grants friends and D-list celebrities. Well, thanks for coming and D list celebrities. Well, thanks for coming on. Thanks guys. You know who Ginny Lewis is? Ginny Lewis.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Always. She just tweeted greatest American band of the last 30 years. I just replied back, Creed. Oh, she was, OK, she's asking for a solicitor.

I thought you were just like, really dramatic pause. Best band. Hey, well, we'll talk about that here in a second. She said, RDM. They're good. I like, are you best band in the OK, hold on. Yeah. Who?

In the last 30 years? Yeah, I know. I don't think the last 30 years, but they're pretty. Last time they put something out. Who are you? Are you? Oh, yeah. I can't name a song. Yeah, exactly. Wow. But I know them. It's the end of the world as we know it.

Actually, so the reason I both lived on my couch for six months was because I just started drilling at Third Anglico. And we, I had a dental appointment on the first day of drill on Pendleton, cause that's what they do with those guys there. So everyone mustered at zero six. And I had my dental appointment at zero seven. So I went to Pendleton, they went to LA and I came out of it and had all these missed calls from like the majors or whatever. And from Andy and he's like, do not come to drill. And I'm like, well, yeah, I would love that to be true. And he's like, no, they're taking COVID really seriously. Everyone's being sent home. And then I was like, really? He goes, yeah, I want love that to be true. And he's like, no, they're taking COVID really seriously. Everyone's being sent home. And then I was like, really?

He goes, yeah, I want to go to Big Bear. That's not for sure. So we went to Big Bear. And then I was watching. I was like, oh, this is real. Then they're like, close your gym. And I was like, you want to move in and help my business not go bankrupt?

And he was like, yeah, sure. That's the real story. I love it. Yeah. Good dude. Didn't he also, we didn't get into it, but then he do the, uh, the drawings for the, the plates. Oh man, we should have gotten into that. Yeah. He did. Um, yeah, the cat file. I mean, I gave him like the ideas and he did it on his student CAD. So it had like a watermark on it. And

then I sent it to the foundry and they were like, Oh yeah, we can work with this. Yeah. That's a shame. We didn't bring that up. That you know, when I'm like, Hey Trey, have anything to ask Ibo's that would have been a great time. Well, I was worried about myself going to Vegas. I needed some. Yeah, that's true. That's true. That's true. That's true. Sorry. Me first. That's my leadership philosophy. So again, as a new dad, as a dad, I get it. I'm always hot. I'm really hot right now. And this fan must be dying because it keeps turning off and I'm really sad. I wish the I wish I had a charger, but I don't. But I feel a charger. Shout out. I know, but they're over there. Uh, shout out, um, uh,

stroller fans that have never been used for the baby and have only been used for grants face when he's at his laptop. Grant fan, uh, quick data update for you on the long, slow hole of college football. I had a great college football story. The best college football story I've ever told on this podcast guaranteed. But, uh, I put the bed in here, the air mattress, because the other day, you know, I'm, I'm like one of those dads that if I hear the baby squirm, like I can't sleep. It's like, there's a term. I'm not going to, I'm going to say it. I'm just going to say it. So people can make fun you like you, you finagony or something like that, but it means it's between, it's between awake and rim. Okay. And it is where you are asleep, but body, body, uh, paralyzation.

And so, you know, you're awake and then you just have like, uh, not dreams. What's the other word? Uh, hallucinations, hallucinations. And so you're like watching videos in your head or whatever a hallucination is, you know you're awake, but you can't move your body. And that's what I go into. And then I can just like force myself out. So no one be too worried, but I don't sleep well.

So last night I was like, D, I'm blowing up the air mattress and like 9 PM. I'm just going to sleep as long as I can. And then I'm going to come upstairs. So that's what I did. So it was set up this morning. Then I like went on my shift at like six, 7 AM and I got her and I just put her on this air mattress. And then if you sit on the air mattress and like bounce around, it's like, and it's like the magic code. So the okay podcast headquarters for those that aren't watching on YouTube and should is now a nursery. And so we've come a long way. Okay. The multi-purpose. Yeah, yeah, the okay nursery powered by the strength. Oh, it's okay. It's okay. Anyway, that's a college football. Let's get into it.

Well, all right. All right. What's about big game of the weekend? Oh, yes, that's debatable as far as what big game of the weekend was, but the most, the highest profile, the Georgia Tennessee. New Mexico state. Oh, right. Auburn and no, you know, it's no, no. But then you all watch the Georgia Tennessee game. Yep. What'd you think? Well, I'll try to talk about the stats of the off-fifth of the morning. What time did I get?

That was the night game, right? Yeah, I guess it would have been 730 East Coast time and 630 your time. So that was going on the same time the A&M game was. So I was keeping up with the highlights, but I didn't actually watch it. OK, OK. I mean, George, I just like I cut it. I cut the very tail end of it. But why? How did what do you think? I just thought like, OK, George actually kind of looked.

Georgia looks good like that was the first time I think they kind of had like more of a complete game. Carson Beck played well. They're kind of doing like running back by committee because ETN was out and like they are. Actually, both those teams are so hit or miss. But I feel like Tennessee's really they I don't know if they can't really put they can't string two games together. In my opinion, mainly Tennessee, Tennessee definitely can't.

No. Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you on that. But I didn't know I, I didn't watch it. Okay. Yeah. I watched it.

I felt like it was Tennessee scored first, right? It was like 10 zip and then Georgia's just stomped more interesting in light of that game. What I would say is with the new college football rankings, when I'm sure Jeff's about to go over. Oh yeah. I feel like the game Cox have a real shot go, go through LSU lost, right? Yeah. Go through Florida. Go through 20 up. 20 up. Okay. Number 20, two lane.

Number. Best team Louisiana. Number 20, two lane. Number 20, two lane. Number 20, two lane. Number 20, two lane. Number 20, two lane. Number 20, two lane.

Number 20, two lane. Number 20, two lane. Number 20, two lane. Number 20, two lane. Number 20, two lane. Number 20, two lane. Number 20 up 20 up. OK. Number 20, Tulane. Number best in Louisiana, number 19 Army, number 18 South Carolina, number 17, Clemson, 16 Colorado, 15 Aggies from Texas, A&M 14 BYU 13 SMU 12 Boise State 11 Tennessee 10 Georgia. Okay, wait now that we're at 12 let's say and out. Okay 12 Boise State.

12. They're in. I think they're in. They're in because they're not going to lose again. Tennessee number 11. Who do they have left? Just Vandy. They have U-TEP and Vandy. U-TEP and Vandy. So I think they're probably in, but they could be out with a Vandy loss and Vandy could do it. They've done it. Yeah. Yeah. They have to win that Vandy game. I mean, unless, unless you see like A&M wins out and then they would bump up, like they would easily, I think leapfrog a Tennessee. You have Texas in who left? Auburn this week. Better watch out. Oh, oh yeah. We got to talk about that bet.

See, to me, it's Colorado. I think Tennessee, Tennessee might be out. It depends. Like how you win now makes a difference. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, that's true. If they come in, like they squeak by Vandy or they don't look good against UTEP, like they'll get moved out. So if they, if they blow these next two teams out, then I would agree with you. Okay. Yeah. Well, I didn't say they were out. I just said, I think they're out. I think they're out. I think they're out. I think if they win, both are in. Trey thinks how they win matters. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. Number 10 is Georgia. I think they're out. I'm gonna go out. Okay. Okay. Next slide. Number 10 is Georgia.

I think they're out. I'm going to go out. Georgia. Who do they have left? They got to buy this week. And I think they finished with Georgia Tech. Yeah. So yeah, they're in the clubhouse.

They're done with conference play. Yeah. But I feel like if they lost to Georgia Tech, that would be kind of nail in the coffin. See, I think Georgia will be in, but I think Tennessee will be out. You can't have like four or five SEC teams in there, as much as we would all love it. No, I think the SEC this year, I think there was no great team. They're all kind of really, there's a bunch of really good teams and they're all beaten up on each other.

And they're kind of like suffering from having like all these big matches. Besides Texas. I don't even think Texas is that great. They haven't played to the end. They haven't played anyone. They haven't played anyone. Yeah, Texas isn't great. So that's why I'm like, I don't think there's a great team in the SEC this year.

I mean, other than Auburn, you know, obviously they had some. Like I, I do. I'm more worried about, I know we keep getting off topic, but I'm more worried about the A&M Auburn game than I am about the A&M Texas game. I would not be worried about the Auburn game. Typical. That receiver looks good man. Typical saying from a guy after one of that. Yeah. Oh, we're waiting for that one.

All right. Well, who's next? Number nine, Ole Miss. Cali, who do they have left? Oh, the Mississippi State. Go in that. That's a win. I don't know who they have this week, but. I'm going to tell you right now. Ole Miss has Florida.

That DJ Lifeway is back. That could be good. He is a difference maker. That's for sure. Man, is it at Florida or is that Ole Miss? Good question. It's in the swamp. The swamp.

Hmm. It's great to be a Florida Gator. Yes, it's great to be a Florida Gator. Dude, I could see them dropping that. Yeah. That's tough. If they went out, they're good. Okay, I'll agree with that.

Yeah. Grinch say that about all the CCD. I don't know if we can say it because like, OK, what if Colorado wins the big 12? Hang on. They win the big 12. They're automatically. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh, shoot.

Coachman Coach Prime is the boys ready to go. Time. I know we're going prime time over here.. This boy is ready to go. I know we're going prime time over here. He gets those dogs ready to play. Even though the buffaloes, you know, causing the dogs. I don't know. I don't know. I'm going to go.

I'm going to go all this. I'm going to go on this out. OK, almost. Yeah, I take. I don't know. I don't think I Ole Miss out. Okay. Ole Miss out. That's a hot take. I don't think they're out also. But I was going to have this thing where I just want Lane Kiffin to not succeed. Because I think it's funny. No one likes Lane Kiffin. Who we got next?

Number seven, Alabama. High tide. High tide, everyone. I think they're in commercial. Yeah, I've seen that. I think it's a commercial. Yeah, I've seen that. I really like that. Yeah, I think they're in. I think they're in. I think they're. If Alabama wins out, I think they go to it way now. Dang. Yeah, I think you're right.

I think you're right. Because they've got. I've got I've got Auburn close to season. Is that they got it? They played you. I think you got to you this week. And then I'll get out of here last week. Which should be win, win.

No offense should be. But you never know. Auburn could come back. I have no confidence in Peyton Thorn... to do anything right. Okay, moving up. The number six, Notre Dame. They'll be in. Oh, they're for sure in.

They're 100% in. They could finish. They can lose the rest of the game. The rest of the game's the season. Let's still make it. Yeah. They go, well, they... It was the way they lost, the way they lost. They got a lot of potential. They got a lot of potential. And I use a really good team. They're underrated. I don't know about them. Number five, Indiana, big test this weekend for them.

Big test. Who are they playing? Ohio State. And they're a zero loss team? Correct. Yeah. So the problem is Trey's right. They're not going to just let the SEC dominate this. Like in terms of getting into the 12-1 playoffs. So they, let's say they lose and they're a

one loss team and they went from number five, they're going to drop to like nine, maybe, maybe, maybe eight. I mean, also depends how they lose, but I don't think they kick Indiana out. I think if they get blown out, 52 to nothing, I think they're out. Yeah. Out completely. I mean, who, who have they beat? Have they beat anybody big? It's Indiana. I mean, there's really I mean, because even the big, the good teams in the Big Ten, I don't think are all that good. They have not be.

Anybody want to opponent? They have not been a ranked opponent, just put it that way. I won't even name them all. They'd be teams like Charlotte, Nebraska, Western Illinois. Woof. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. He's right. They were blown out. Sorry. But if they don't get blown out, I think they're.

Sorry. So the last game just popped up. Yeah. Number four is Penn State. Holy, dude. Dang. What do the Big Ten standings look like? I know.

I know, dude. I'm like, who? How are there so many teams in the Big Ten? There's so many teams in the Big Ten that none of them had to play each other. And so other than Ohio State and Oregon, that play each other. It's a benefit of having 50 teams. Yeah. The big 10.

They got those, they got those golden gophers this week. You know, they might take them down. PJ Fluck, baby row the boat. He's hyped on the sideline. Uh, let's see. Oh gosh. I clicked out of the page number three. Texas. K-Has.

And they play Kentucky. And then yeah, I shoot. If they lose to Kentucky and they lose to A&M and you have a two lost team. Man, I feel like a two lost team in the sec. I mean, I don't feel like it's not a shoe in. No, but I think they're in, I think, I think they'll take care of business at Kentucky. I think A&M has the wild or the rivalry wild card to play. Not that I'm with you. I think, I don't know. I don't know if A&M is better than Texas or equal, but I just think is that game in A&M?

It's at A&M at night. Yeah. I mean, like there's a big shot that you guys won that. I feel like I said, I legitimately feel better about that game versus Texas A&M versus Auburn. How short? Short! Oh, they say how short. Yeah, no. Yeah, just how short. Wait, is that how short?

I just thought it was short. No, it's just short. Oh, okay. Yeah. That was a calling response. I would just say. So then it's Ohio State and Oregon. Yeah, it was a war. That was it. That was a call and a test. Yeah. Yeah. I would just say.

So then so then Ohio State and Oregon, right? Yeah. Yeah. So two Big Ten team. So if Ohio State wins, if Ohio State wins against Indiana, do they play Oregon again in the Big Ten championship? I think so. And then they try to look at the big 10 standings to see who could. They lose to Oregon again. Good job, Google. I Googled Big Ten Standings and shows me the AAC conference standings.

Great work. OK, so, yeah, Oregon, Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State are the top 14. OK, so then if I stay Wednesday, jump Indiana. Yeah, yeah. So basically, whatever team wins that game will play Oregon in the Big Ten Championship, Oregon's got Washington in a classic pack 12 match up. Classic. The'm a 30. College football is weird.

That's tough, man. Yeah. I don't know. So what are we? Let's let's get into the Auburn, Texas game. What's our annual bet? It used to be sushi. Yep. Yep. It was always OK. Whoever whoever's team wins that game, the other guy buys him dinner.

It was always sushi. I mean, typically went to that one that one spot in Carl's bed. That if you ordered like two rolls, they gave you like 70 percent off or something like that. It's like the easiest. Yeah. So we got to a party. It's very the easiest. Yeah. So we go to a party. It's very low bar. I don't know. I feel like recently we've just been doing

just reads. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And just shows up. So does it have to be food or can we shake it up this year? We can shake it up. OK, you guys have never been a part of the podcast this year during this game. It's true. I have a new sponsor. I'm proud to announce what set this set this American flag up. Yeah. I should have done it sooner in the show. I'm only, I'm only loose. I'm only used to the BW tax

grid iron green. I don't want to say percentages because I don't know, but yeah, but, but I'll tell you when you watch college football this weekend and you see like the little, you know, riddle on the front of the helmet or you see the, you know, uh, the army logo on the side. I want to talk about army uniform still, or you see the Aggies on the back, whatever you see, the decals, thoseies on the back, whatever you see the decals, those come from Greenville, South Carolina, right? Company called grid iron green. And they redo like, I think he said 70% of universities face masks. So between games or between seasons, they mail their face masks in, they repowder coat them, they

send them back. And then they also do a ton of collectible helmets and they do a lot of field use helmets. So a lot of the universities out there they're doing, if you follow the OK podcast on Instagram, you probably saw me, I was in a warehouse, thousands of helmets. I was trying to be cool and not just film the whole time. But a bunch of stuff in there. So right now on the Strengthco store, you can buy this Marine Corps mini speed helmet, a real strength co edition with the red visor. This is the helmet that the Navy midshipman wore in the 2021, uh, army Navy game. Except bigger. Yeah. Except bigger. Yeah.

Except to go to the tiny head. Uh, there's a code in the show notes. And if you click that code, you can save money and you can buy a helmet. You can buy any NCAA helmet. They're all super cool. Now that I own the Marine Corps one, I want the Citadel one. I want the Gamecock one. There's a strength Co one being made and the artwork has been sent over for an okay podcast one. So you can have some collectibles at your house. But right now, if you're a college football fan or an NFL fan, click the link below, go by. That's our sponsorship. We get it. We get a percentage of it.

So I'm just saying, why doesn't the winner of this game use the show notes and buy the opposing team's helmet for the winner or the loser of this game. Yeah. You know, and you get that you get a helmet that supports our sponsor green gridiron. If you're into football helmets, man, 300,000 subscribers on YouTube. They break down all the helmets. Fun fact, top selling helmet right now that outsells, and this is a big operation. I mean, I'm telling you, like it is, I have two warehouses. They always have 44,000 pounds of weights in them.

I'm not saying I've also been to Uline. I've been on the other side of it, but this is a huge operation. Number one selling collectible helmet is the full size Chrome blue Detroit lions. It sells more than every other NFL team combined right now. So if you're, if you're into helmets, you can change out the visor color.

You can do a bunch of custom stuff. You can use our code. If you like the Marine Corps helmet and you want to support our new sponsor, the okay podcast, you can go to strength.co go into apparel and more last two items. We have two different Marine Corps helmets. You can buy soon to be a strength Co helmet and hopefully an okay podcast helmet. Sorry. I buried the link an hour and a half, but we'll be better about it next time. I just didn't want BW to feel slighted. Yeah. Why get that? OG sponsor, you know? Yeah. We love our boy. Yeah.

Keeps the lights on. Yeah. So shut up. Yeah. Okay. So that's the bet. Deal. I'll agree to that. All right. We've been going for a minute here. I want to say a minute. I mean like 94. I have a fun Game cock story and this isn't just me talking about winning. It's way more than that. If you guys are ready. I'm ready. Yeah, I guess. Okay. So new dad as a dad, you guys, you know, you get that I'm a dad. I'm a dad and I get all the dad stuff now. So the baby's going crazy. And when I say crazy, I just mean being a baby and nothing's working. Right. And so

I finally just like, and I'm watching the game, got the game, cut game on. It's like coming up on halftime and a halftime. Gee, wonder why Grant chose that time. I'm like, Hey, let me just do the stroller method. That's the method I've always used. I've always used the stroller method. Put the baby in the car seat, put the car seat in the stroller, walk around, baby goes to sleep. I'm just going to do the stroller method. So I put the baby in the car seat and it is bananas. Like it is like not working. We're all clipped in. Usually as soon as you levitate and add some upward pressure, good, not happening. I'm like, I got to get outside anyway. You won't be able to hear crying. Everyone will calm

down. I'll just lie and say the baby's sleeping. Like, got this. Go outside, pull out the stroller, shout out Nuna, potential sponsor, hook it up. Halftime's ending, transition time's getting outside, take some time. Got the phone and the little cup holder, but I have to put it in portrait mode,

but I have the sound on full, and so I'm watching the game. And so I'm walking up and down our alley. And our alley is like really rough. And so I'm like singing to her like, go game cocks. Go game cocks. I'm saying game. She's not saying anything back. And she would like go to sleep and then I would hit a pothole. She would wake up. So I'm like, well, there's this other alley. I'll go down this other. So we're

gonna sell their alley. It's smooth. So I'm going to the bottom, go to the top, go to the bottom, watch the game on my phone. But like everyone's texting about the game. I can't text back gamecock still up pretty big. And then as I get down to the bottom of the alley, I looked to the left and there's like a condo establishment used to be apartments and there's a gym in the bottom. Now it's all condos. They sold it since I've lived here and in the gym, the game

cock games on and I'm like, thank you Lord. Like, thank you Lord. So I just get the stroller. I'm like in front of the glass, Gamecock games on and I'm just rocking back and forth. I got audio from my phone. I can text now. She's completely asleep.

Put the park break on, great feature. And I'm like being able to text my friends, audio is playing off of YouTube. I got to swipe to the side and I'm watching the game. Gamecocks now I'm forgetting a little bit about the game, but Gamecocks. There's like two minutes left. No Mizzou scored. No Gamecocks scored Gamecocks and then Mizzou scored.

So Gamecocks score. This gentleman walked in since you guys have a photo of him. Big mustache. I'm a mustache fan. I almost shaved it off that night. He comes in and he grabs the game. He's clearly like holding like a whiskey glass. He's like, you know, he's not dressed to go to the gym. He's dressed like I own a condo here. And he, it goes to commercials and he hits guide and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't do this. You know what he turns on?

Old Dominion James Madison. So I parked a stroller like jump the, like the hedge or the rock, like the landscaping and I bang on the window because I'm going to be like, I'm like, I have a great card to play. Hey dude, baby's crying. I need that game on. I've been out here for 30 minutes. Turn the game on, knock on the window. And he starts walking towards me and I realize, oh no, this is one way glass or like heavily tinted his direction. So he comes up and he's getting closer and he's looking and then he like does this. And I'm like, baby, gang cox, baby, I need the gang cox. And he looks at me and

literally just puts a middle finger against the window. And I'm like, you've got to be kidding me. He walks back and he sits down like the chess press machine and just watches old dominion, except he doesn't watch it. He's staring at his phone. So I watched the last two minutes at, on my cell phone and yeehaw was ahead of me and it should have dawned to me to walk down there and watch it. But like right before rocket Sanders scored, I heard yeehaw like erupt and I like we were driving so I was like, there's no way the place is full of Mizzou fans.

So the place erupts. I'm like, whatever. Old Dominion had like 12 minutes left to he switches to Georgia, Tennessee. I'm like, perfect. D's text me how things going. I'm like, great. So you're gonna stay out there all night. I was like, I'm staying as long as the baby's sleeping, you know, blah, blah, blah. George Tennessee's on. So he's sitting

there on his phone and then like, he finally finishes his drink and he stands up, grabs the remote and just turns the TV off. And I'm like, what is wrong with you? And anyway, that was my experience of the game cut game, which was great. My daughter's undefeated for no, yeah, it's all it matters. Um, it wasn't from the South. No, he was, we're from the guy for sure. Transplant dad gum. Yeah. He probably from Jersey Jersey. I'm just zooming in with the pictures of this guy. Yeah. I got drill weekend this weekend. Perfect weekend to have drill weekend Wofford game, you know, and like, I'm not going to

say I want the Citadel to lose, but because I want Clemson to be high ranked when we beat him for recency bias, I'll be okay with it. But remember, Citadel's most exciting team in college football is the Wofford game. And I'm going to be playing to win this game. I'm just saying that I'm not going to be able to win this game. I'm just saying that I'm not going to be able to win this game. I'm just saying that I'm not going to be able to win this game. I'm just saying that I'm not going to be able to win this game. I'm just saying that I'm not going to be able to win this game.

I'm just saying that I'm not going to be able to win this game. I'm just saying that I'm not going to be able to win this game. I'm just saying that I'm not going to be able to win this game. I'm just saying that I'm not going to be able to win this game. I'm just saying that I'm not going to be able to win this game. I'm just saying that I'm not going to be able to win this game. I'm just saying that I'm not going to be able to win this game. I'm just saying that did want to sock debate. All right. Boot socks. I was now I'm kicking myself for not bringing this up when Andy was on because we could have gotten a fourth Marine's opinion on boot socks.

Are you kicking yourself with your boot socks? I am. Okay. Yeah. But I'm trying. This is very heated topic, man. Yeah. I don't know. So I like sending a message out. I go, what's everybody's favorite boot sock that you wore in the Marine Corps? And I said,

if it's not Fox River, you're wrong. Have you worn Fox River? Oh yeah. Yeah, I have. Many times. Are you a fan? They're great socks. I'll let Jeff go first. I feel like he has a lot more. I like the cold weather Fox River sock. It's like real thick. A lot of cushion on it. A lot of cushion. And I was a big fan of it.

Okay. But you, what was your favorite? Darn tough. Oh, they're great. Here's how I would talk about boot socks. Wherever you're going to the field and you realize you don't have enough socks and so you have to go buy socks at the another commissary at the exchange or you know, whatever. And you go in and you can spend $9 for a three pack or you can buy one pair for like 1699. If you had shopped previously on Amazon, you could have saved some, but I've done the three

pack deal and that's a terrible field up. Like when they're cheap, it's terrible, but I don't know. But let me tell you, let me pull it up. Cause I just recently bought some new boot socks and let me see what I ordered. I feel like they were Fox River. Fox River, they make a great sock. That was the sock I definitely wore.

Fox River, yeah. $14, $14 a pair, about four pairs of them. And then I got issued. Best investment. I got issued a pair of darn tough socks before the first view I did, I think. Yeah. And I was like, oh, these can't be any good because the Marine Corps gave them to me. These must not be good socks, whatever.

And then you forgot you wrote JTAC and you got all the good stuff. And then in a pinch, I was like, oh, I need some. I was like, oh, I got. That's right. I have that pair of socks. And I put them on. I was like, oh, this thing's your these things are pretty good to go. So I'm a big, big, darn tough guy. Darn tough. Well, I spent most my I spent most my time in garrison. So great garrison sock. Fox River Fox River. But I will say, if you're out,

if you're doing the field dog, especially a long one, like how long do you wear the same sock for? How many days in a row? So me zero. You change every day? That is my one thing. Depending on the weather, I don't wear a skivvy shirt. If it's cold, obviously I do, right?

But my thing- Yeah, it keeps you a lot warmer. I'll go, I'll go. Yeah. What I mean is something under, right? Like, cause I have, I have like four or five long sleeves skivvy shirts and those actually do keep you a lot warmer because the cuffs tight like down, but I know what you mean. I love the joke is good. Um, but I'm really big on like I'll wear the same camis for 14 days, but I want fresh underwear and fresh socks. So I will have 14 days.

I will have 14 pairs of socks. I think I changed every other day. Yeah, two or three days. Yeah. And that could go longer probably, but I just, I like putting on the same socks. But to me, the best feeling is like, so you wear the same socks 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, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I could just have it every day. Hmm. Takes up too much room. All the snacks. Yeah. I got to have room for snacks. That brody's equal pounds, pounds equal pain. Stranko plates. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's true. It's true. That's true. I don't know if you guys saw my debacle over here, but I finally got the fan set up. Yeah, it looks good, man. Glad you got it set up right at the end. It's good to go.

What else we got that we need to touch on so we don't lose for next week, but we just do a sentence or two. I feel like we definitely got to hit on this one. Cause I imagine your mom is still listening. So I want to hear about the story about you explaining creed to your mom. Oh man. Yeah. So this is really funny.

And I said some things that I didn't need to, but, so, you know, I take the morning shift nine times out of 10 every now and then I don't, but you know, if there's tasks for you, but I take the morning shift. So I come down and I make the coffee and I do this stuff. So anyway, I put on Creed album. And so my mom's at the hotel and every time she's like right next door and every time we're in a small apartment. So every time she's like, when you're ready for me to come, just tell me. So it's like seven 30 in the morning. I'm like, come now. Cause I'm like, mom can grab her. I can sleep for another hour to be great. Um, so mom comes over and I'm holding

the baby. I can't remember if she was carrier or no carrier. It's all, it's all blur. You guys, I I'm a dad. I get it. Um, but no, it's all blur. And, uh, and mom's like, Oh, I get it. But no, it's all blur. And, and mom's like, Oh, I feel like I know this band. I'm like, yeah, it's called Creed. And, you know, she's like, really chipper in the morning. She's like, would I know any of their songs? I was like, well, you probably know this one. And I think it was in my own prison. And so it's like still playing. And I'm like holding the baby. Yeah, it wasn't in the care. I was like holding like this, like over the vinyl. And, uh, and she's like, Oh, is this a Christian band? And I'm like, no, actually they said like they're, they're not a Christian band. She's like, Oh, he's like singing a lot about God. And I'm like, yeah, but like, like, like they're not. And

she's like, so like, why would I know this band? I was like, they were big, like probably early nineties or like sometime when I was a kid. And then they completely fell off. And then like someone predicted they would come back and now they're super popular. And she's like, but is this like rock? I was like, well, technically it's butt rock. And she was like, what? I was like, uh, that's unnecessary detail. I was like, yeah, like there's memes mom. She's like, what do you mean? Like I said, it'll be like a picture of like a group of guys from the knee below and all their memes, all their jeans don't fit and they're wearing like dirty new

balances. And she's like, wait, that's like who listens to this? And I'm like, well, well yeah, but like not everybody looks like that. And then she's like, Oh, what, what I know any other songs? I'm like, well, yeah, but like not everybody looks like that. And then she's like, oh, what would I know any other songs? I'm like, yeah, there's like Arms Wide Open, like about his baby being born. She's like, oh, that's sweet. Play that one. And I was just like, this is like hilarious that I'm listening to Creed with my mom at 730 in the morning. That's like a dream you had. Yeah. But yeah, that was one of my hallucinations.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh my God. Grant explained Creed and then explained memes to your mom. Yeah. Whatever your mom needs to hear. Thanks, mom. That's hilarious.

Hey, our most loyal listener. That's right. Yeah. Thanks, mom. Potential sponsor. Potential sponsor, Grant's mom. Yeah. Thanks mom. Potential sponsor, potential sponsor. Any other save rounds? Hmm. Let me look through the slide deck real quick here. Bruins coach got fired today. They say they say, they say in hockey teams year three,

if you don't win, you lose the locker room. Is that a you get fired after they got curb stomped by the stars? No, that was like three days ago. Oh, yeah. I don't know. Is there a yeah, I don't know. You did get fired after that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Chad, Montgomery.

Most winning coach gone. Dang, dang. Who's going to replace him? I don't know. Honestly, it was like right before we came on. Yeah, that was a little late addition to the slide deck. Yeah, late edition. Yeah. Almost didn't brief that one. Oh, one we definitely got to hit. At the at the risk of running long here, gentlemen, uh, turkey pole recap.

I think it was a good time. Big Connor running around in a turkey outfit. Turkey suit. Yeah. If you made it this long, you're a real supporter. Um, yeah. Turkey pole went great. Um, it was, you know, there was a time when I found out that my buddy was deploying that I was like, Oh, I'll just have the Arnold go anyway, and the team will run it. And then I was like, I'm running a gym fundraiser from South Carolina, and I want to blow my brains out. Like this is impossible. I say that tongue in cheek. Everyone did a great job. Ron

took all the photos. Good dude, We were, I think we raised and you know, we, we gave a donation from the Semper Fi bars that we've sold all year. Plus like what we made off the t-shirts and all that stuff. But then I think the Semper Fi fund had like money jars out. I think they raised like two grand. So that was cool. So it was a good event. Yeah. I think there was like 40 lifters and then there's like another 50 this week online. But yeah, then went well. It was great. Connor did a bang up job.

Malia ran the flights. Tamales were had. I was a little jealous I wasn't there. But yeah, it was a great event. I think we might have to do it again. I think you're right. Next Thanksgiving. Yeah. Next Thanksgiving. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So my buddy's back. Yeah. Yeah. It'd be really weird if you do like a turkey poll in July. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Could do it like a,

I don't know what you do in July. Turkey poll flag. Turkey poll flag. I don't know what you do in July. Turkey pull flag. Turkey pull flag. And then the penance pull. Yeah. Firework burn. Yeah. We'll figure it out.

We're just spit balling. Yeah. No, it went good. Yeah. Love it. Love it. I mean, I think that I think that takes us to commander's comments and save rounds. Alibis. What do you got?
