All right, and welcome back to episode 05 3 of the. OK. OK. Guidance. Oh, OK. Podcast, I was trying to see how long we could. OK, I thought I was on delay. I'm your host. How long can we just sit there and not? We have never podcasted before. Today's date is Monday, December the 30th in the year of our Lord. 2024. The price of Bitcoin, I'm sorry, I don't have the block clock behind

me is $92,314, which means that it's doubled since we started this podcast. And we told you last week that we were done. We are not done. We are back, baby. Actually, we've never left. Just when I got out, they pulled me back in. We are broadcasting to you in 2025. By the time you listen to this on Friday, it'll be January the third. My buddy will be activated in the Marine Corps and you will listen to this and just be like, man, I'm glad with his final few hours he did this, but we support the troops on this podcast. We support the troops. We got lots to talk about. A lot of college football has happened.

A lot more to be played. We have some other exciting topics. But before we do that, we are broadcasting from South California. That is what it's called here, South California. It's not called Cali. It's not called so Cali. I live in states that start with South and I am in South California. We have Mr. Trey Gottlisch in beautiful Frisco, Texas. Hey Aggie Nation, can I get a whoop? Is that how it goes? It's out of the sentence. It's close.

And Mr. Jeff Boucher, token Mormon in greater Salt Lake area. So Mormon. Yeah. Not Mormon, better Salt Lake area. So Mormon. Yeah. Not Mormon. Better at marining. So we've always said, and with that, Jeff, can you hit us with the agenda slide or the first topic? Okay.

Okay. Gentlemen, commanders, sergeants, major threes, three alphas, S fours fours trade talking to you. Como not at the meeting. We got Fopsos, Copsos, three Zulus. Hey, is the deuce here? We got ace, ace, ace. Oh, the deuce not here. We're gaffed that billet.

Lance Cromwell of filling in. Yeah. Go ahead. Give us the weather slide real quick. You can read it off your phone. You know, no one else knows where the weather is. Yeah, well, first, kick it off for jumping the agenda. The trash trash trash trash. OK, you'll go ahead. And the trash. Trash. Trash. Okay. Don't want to trash. Don't want to see that trash.

Stow it away. Okay. How many how many mothers do we have? Oh, we only have one. Last I count. You're only issued one. Yeah, I also just want to say, when we say to police call, we do not mean call the police.

We mean to get the trash. We know a lot of you have served and we thank you for your service because the majority of your service was cleaning out trash. If you got dip bottles, they do not go in the trash can. They go in the dip bottle can. If you have cardboard, cardboard cannot go in with the rest of the trash can, they go in the dip bottle can. If you have cardboard, cardboard cannot go in

with the rest of the trash, that needs to go to the dumpster behind building 542-793-Alpha, which you all know what the building number is. That needs to be flattened, flatten your cardboard. Yes, pull the staples out. MRE heaters, you're gonna wanna take those over to the next county. Okay, those have to be at least one to two counties away.

If they've been used, you have to eat those. You have to eat those. And Mario Heater's if they've been used, I'm sorry. Real quick, guys, I dropped my envy. Geez. Oh, can we go? Can we go go and get online? Get online. We're not done with the trash slide. Actually, Trey, we'll get back to that valuable item shortly.

Police that trash item shortly. Police that trash. Yeah. Okay. I do have one thing before we start. Yeah, it's a little bit different. I know they just talked about trash, but as the commander of troops, make sure to clean the trash up.

Okay. We can move on. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for that. Thank you for your service, gentlemen. Let's call that an episode. All right. And for those of you still listening that did not turn off during that rant. And if you don't get that, I'm just sorry. If you don't find that funny. This is not the podcast for you. You've got to be a regular listener and understand. Yeah.

Mm hmm. Grant's mom loves that joke. She loves trash. She's like, Grant never cleaned his room once. What is this about? Oh, well, OK. Back to our agenda, as is tradition around first topics of the show. Trey, you had the game plan drawn out.

We saw that. How's the lifting going? Can you still get it in on track? Good week, man. Still doing this. That one look today, ma'am. OK. Pretty easy. Prezy to get to do a little cardio, too. So I don't know.

Pretty solid. OK. I did friggin a beach body. Four or five on the deadlift. He's love. I love the. He's like kind of, you know, I was he got really got really strong, had a big layoff, and now he's like getting back into it. Numbers are like what took me months and months now. I like to trace it.

Yeah, just getting back into it. Gonna toss 405 on the bar. Should I do it for seven or 12? It was hard, man. Of five. It was hard. Yeah, I squatted 500 for five sets of five. Seemed like a good place to jump back in at and just real light.

Yeah, light. Definitely start there. Yeah. Like, wait, baby. Those trays. Definitely start there. Yeah. Yeah. Lightweight baby. Those trays, tray is very strong. I'm gonna go and take another six month break and just hop back on here. Yeah.

You were well rested. Well rested. Set all or nothing mentality. Yeah, my question is like, how long should rest periods last, six months or? Yeah. Time between lifts. Time between lifts last six months or time between lifts, time between lifts six months. I want you to rest six months between sets. What does that mean? So you're going to work out and

then for six months you're going to do nothing and then you're going to come back to the gym and deadlift four or five for five. Don't rack the weights. Leave the weights there. Always. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've always sent back six months. Yeah. Yeah. Still your mother effing set as somebody says. Yeah. We've always said that too. Yeah. Yeah. So I was trying, because when you're doing the deadlift, I know you said like,

since you're doing a one lift a day, you do like volume, right? So then what's on that program, what's volume for a deadlift? I usually do a top set and then two back-offs. So a top set of five and then two back-offs. That's when she's probably like, I hate saying percentages, but like, so what did you pull, four or five for five and you said it was hard?

It was, yeah, like I did, I did two sets of five. Yeah, that's probably fine too. I generally, yeah, four or five by five and then maybe you go to 365 for two sets of five, you know, something where it's still challenging, but yeah. Just to get the volume in? Okay. Yeah, I think so.

If you're just doing one lift a day, like, you know, you can do, I mean, one set of five deadlifts is sufficient if you've just squatted three sets of five heavy. But if you just walked in and started deadlifting, I mean, I think you can probably do a little bit more than one set of five. But then on the squats bench overhead press, are you doing five sets of five for that?

Squat, I mean, it just kind of depends on like your time, how much time you have. How are you feeling? Yeah, if you did five by five on squats, and then let's say you press the next day and then you did the following day and then you bench the following day, love being sick, I always said that,

and then you were back to squats, I would probably on that second squat day, do like an intensity day, you know, like do it like heavier, not five, like if you do five by five squats twice within seven, like six days or five days, whatever that would be. Um, in South California, we call that death. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, enough of a lifting talk. Yeah. No, good, good week, man. Good week of lifting. Are you still carnivore? What the chow? That was the, that's what I was gonna ask.

I'm just gonna have to have it in there. Dude, I take a break from that man. I didn't last long. I told you I was feeling, I was telling, I think I texted both of y'all. I might have texted, yeah. I was like, man, I just feel weird. It was like, I was feeling off and like that brain fog.

And I was trying to figure out, I'm like, oh, maybe it's just because of going carnivore. And then I took my blood pressure and it was like to figure out, I'm like, oh, maybe it's just because it's going carnivore and I took my blood pressure and it was like through the roof. I was like, oh. Yeah, twin girls had nothing to do with that. I think we'll break from that. That might be it too.

No sleep, twin girls. Crush and crushing rib eyes every night, yeah. Sucking them down. Yeah. Real quick before we move on. I would say keto. I'm definitely keto. Oh, you're in ketosis.

I'm not, yeah, I'm avoiding the carbs still, but I'm still avoiding processed carbs, if that makes sense. Like doing some fruits and stuff like that. Oh, okay. Nice. Okay, okay. I can make you see where the sugar goes. Good job, Trey. I appreciate it, man. Nice. Good job, Trey.

Appreciate it, man. Yeah. Real quick before we move on to the next slide, I want to say that this podcast is brought to you by our good friend, BW Tax. BW, great guy, better at taxes, good dude. We've always said that he gets you the biggest refund back that you could have, and that is tough to do against tall grass.

And he does it while wearing a hat. And so we appreciate BW for keeping the lights on. There's only one light on in my garage. If you're not watching on YouTube, go watch on YouTube, like and subscribe. My aesthetic's a little different. I look like I'm in like the Taliban headquarters with a strength coat banner up.

But personally. I don't know, I didn't know who it was, but somebody that made that comment of like, Oh, it looks like grants in the ISIS headquarters or something. Yeah. That was good. I was dying with that one. Yeah. That was good though. BW, good guy, better at taxes. Big Nate, big Nate, big reform church Nate, not brother. We're not professionals, Nate. I don't even know how to say his last name,

but don't take offense, Nate. I was gonna deploy with a guy named Dave and I never knew how to say his last name until the day before we were supposed to leave. So I think it's Eckberg, but he sent me something today, a screenshot like on his like work. I don't know if it's Discord or Slack.

I couldn't really tell. It was kind of cropped down and it said Hey, who's that guy that you always talk about? Like, you know, let me just read it verbatim instead of granting it up Long and here for BW Yeah, so a guy named Wes with a little emoji face of like giant teeth and sunglasses today 844 a.m These dudes are already at work. Who's that guy you always bring? Who's the tax guy you always bring up? Nate, VW tax LLC.com hyperlink. Wes, thanks. My previous firm merged again and it's like, okay, you're

too big for me. Well, they have always said that he is a good dude and he is even better at taxes. So should give him a call. So thanks for listening and tax season's upon us. You're listening to this, it's 2025. Indeed. You are a ticking time bomb. So call, reach out to BWTax. That's a dangerous statement from the ISIS headquarters. Yeah.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, he's got a grenade. Don't let him do it guys. Oh no. No. Great. Call BW-Tex or this grenade goes off. Oh man.

Next slide. Sometimes the jokes just write themselves. Yeah. Amen. I love it. I love it. Let's see. Man. Yeah. Next slide. Sometimes the jokes just write themselves. Yeah. Amen. I love it. I love it.

Let's see. Now this will be, this is a topic now, three episodes running. Jude Law. But this time I posted it. It was a couple of days after recording that episode. Episode 052? We're like sitting down to like watch a movie. Episode 052.

Oh, great episode. And we watched, the order was available to like just stream on Amazon. So we watched it, Jude Law. What's that about? It was the one that Grant was talking about. It's like the white, like, it's like Jude Law plays an FBI agent and there's like a white supremacist group up in like Pacific Northwest.

He's holed up in his garage. He has a helmet and a grenade, and he's a white supremacist, and Jude Law has to go get him. He makes American-made plates. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. His buddy's about to deploy.

Yeah. Wait, Jeff, quick. Jude Law and him become best friends. Yeah. So a better joke would have been if you brought up Jude Law and him become best friends. So the better joke would have been if you brought up Jude Law and then we just can't remember why we're talking about. Oh, that's never happened. And for 12 weeks in a row.

So you did. You did watch it. I can't remember anything. We did watch it. OK, it's good. It's worth the watch. Good. It's worth the watch. Yeah. All right. So the order. Sell me on that, man. The order is obtaining. It's available a watch. It's worth a watch. Yeah. All right. So the order. You're gonna sell me on that, man. I thought it was entertaining.

It's available for order. It is available to order. You can order the order. All right, nice. I might do that tonight. Would you watch it again? I'll put it that way. I mean, not like this week, but I might, you know.

What if Grant was over? Like 10 years from now, you'd be like, oh, for sure. Okay. Was that? Would you watch episode one again? I Grant was over 10 years from now? 10 years. Oh, for sure. OK, was that would you watch episode one again? No, it's five years from now. Episode one of the OK podcast. No Star Wars or Star Wars. Oh, no, no. OK.

I don't like I don't like episodes one, two and three. They're not for because of Jar Jar Minx. Yeah. And the mildly offensive. Racist Japanese guys? Yeah. I'm not going to do that. Who gave them Japanese accents?

That's what I want to know. Dude, I don't know. But it's the best. That's bad. So basically, Star Wars. A lot of those episodes one, two, and three. I don't know, but it's the best. So basically Star Wars is basically a white supremacy movie. One, two and three. Sure.

I think that's what George Lucas was going for. Sure. Let's go with that. Start that rumor. It's big enough. Could catch on. Make our podcast big. Yeah.

Hey, hey, hey. What else we got? Good Jude Law slide. Yeah. Love Jude Law. Yeah. Um, oh, this one. I want to, I know where I want to go with this.

Okay. I keep seeing it pop up in some of Grant's Instagram posts. The fuel gauge on your Chevy truck is out of control. It really bothers people. The thing is just, I love it. Because I know it pure bothers people. They're like, why doesn't he know which gas he has? Yeah, so you texted me a video of you driving down the road and I was just like, do you

just guess like whenever you get to fill up? Okay. So I have a question for you guys and maybe for some of our listeners. I'm not saying what's the Garth Brooks song, the jumping guy about getting older. Much too young, much too young, much too young, much too young,

much too young, much too young, much too young, much too young, much too young, much too young, much too young, much too young,

much too young, much too young, much too young, much too young, much too young, much too young, much too young, much too young,

much too young, much too young, much too young, much too young, much too young, much too young, much too young, much too young two years. Hey, I'm a Reagan baby, give me that credit. Every time you filled up your car, you reset the tripometer. And then when you got to the gas station, you filled it up with gas

and you took the amount of miles on the tripometer and you divided the gallons of gas and you got gas mileage. This was back when trucks were truck and men were men. And that's how you knew your gas mileage. And so dad would wanna know like, if you were driving the 1987 Chevy Cavalier, he would, that's how he would find out if you were driving it too hard and going too fast was that the gas mileage went down. It had nothing to do with the air filter or you know, anything

else it was, you know, what's that? So I, to this day, always reset my tripometer every time. So I'm like, okay, the black truck with the 15 inch rims gets 11 miles a gallon, I know this, and it has a 22 gallon tank. So I mean, you know, I'm no genius, but I can go about 250 miles, something like that. But the funny thing about the gas gauge is if you're over a half a tank, it

just spins. And the thing that worries me more everyone's worried about gas is I'm like, I actually am worried about my oil pressure. Because when the gas thing spins, it hits the oil pressure and sends that one into a frenzy. And that's the one I'm worried about. I know how much gas I've used. I'm like, I'm worried about the oil pressure. But until you get to, once you drive about 150 miles and you're under half a tank, it levels out. And then it stops going crazy. So it's accurate. I'm surprised.

Quarter tank and below. I'm surprised you haven't had Ibo's fix that for you. Yeah, I know, right? Yeah, dang Ibo's. I was like, if anybody could fix it. Yeah. I was like, hey, how does this work? Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, I'm sure from Louisville. Have you ever said that about your dad? Oh, God. Writing down like all like the gas mileage that just like jogged a memory of me being like, oh, yeah, I remember my dad like pulling out a notebook from the glove compartment

in his in his Honda Accord and writing down like the price of gas, like the mileage, the date. This was pre-spread sheet, cool temperature. It was all the gas data was in this notebook that was in his glove compartment. My dad had a book in every car. And we never had a nice car. We just always had a bunch of ratty cars, but we had multiple. And there'd be a book in each each one when he changed the oil, when he changed the filter, did the

Fram oil filter affect the fuel or the oil pressure, like all this data on every car. Then he'd go to sell the car and the people would be like, well, have you taken care of it? He'd be like, look at this book. They're like, what? They say everything I've ever done to the car is in this book. They're like, well, do you have receipts? He's like, look at this book. And they're like, what? They say everything I've ever done with the car is in this book. And they're like, well, do you have receipts? He's like, no, I don't have receipts. It's in the book. I put it in the book.

And yeah, pretty great. Anyway, yeah, the truck's doing fine. What's the cheapest gas in your whole life that you ever remember filling up at? 59 cents. It didn't have to be you specifically, like your parent. 59 cents. In didn't have to be you specifically, like your parent. 59 cents. Yeah, Enmark on Highway 21.

Enmark Highway 21, Beaufort, South Carolina. So I bought a 1987 Dodge D100 when I was 14. For $2,000 with money I'd made from picking up pecans. I couldn't drive it yet. I bought it, I had it painted, I put thrush mufflers on it. It had a 318 motor. Put a Holley four barrel carb on it. It was like my baby. And I had it fire engine red. And then the roof was black and it was a long bed, single cab, and it had a long vinyl bench seat in the middle. It was incredible vehicle. Alice transmission, amazing.

Good truck. Gas hit a dollar 50 a gallon. And I remember getting my haircut. I'm like, now I'm 15 and a half and I can drive to get my haircut. And I'm getting my haircut and all the guys in the barber shop, like, oh yeah, gas.

And I was like, yeah, I got to sell the Dodge. Can't handle this expensive gas at nine miles a gallon. And I sold it. I sold it. And to this day I'm like, why did I sell that truck? So this thing got in New York. I did make a lot of money, but I think I bought it for 1800 and I sold it for 5200.

But I'd put that much money into it, probably fixing it up. But yeah, but 59 cents. I remember paying 59 cents in my dad's Dodge K car one time. Dang. Anyway. Dang. I remember 99 cents.

Yeah. Yeah, I remember like 98. I remember like 98. Like the longest time. And then it was like, oh, it's over a dollar. What? Yeah. Oh, that's crazy. I remember that. Maybe it was 69 cents oh, it's over a dollar. What? Yeah. Oh, that's crazy.

I'm maybe the sixth. Dad, we filled up and then five miles down the road. Nice. That's still low. Yeah, I know. But I remember my dad filled up and then like five miles down the road, like he flipped a U-turn because he found 99 cents somewhere.

I'm like, we just filled up. You're like what? He said, yeah, it was $100. My dad was all about that. Don't go to Inmark. Go to Speedway. Go to Speedway on Rebo. It's $1.04 right now. That's six miles out of the way. Yeah, but the of car talk. Good car talk. Yeah, good slide. Oh, bad transition on my part.

We did a little bit of movie talk, went to car talk. Now we're back to movie talk. Poor segue on my part, but great. Did you watch the movie Carry On? Is that what you put that in? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Did you watch it? It's about. I haven't watched it.

I saw like the little like, you know, preview that plays when you leave it. Yeah, they just automatically documentary about Kansas. I don't get it, but I laughed anyway. Carry on my way. Well, so. OK. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah, come on my way. OK, I guess I guess Jeff and Grant still don't speak Trey. Fighting Texas Aggies working on it now. Yeah, there you go, Trey.

Yeah, I'll make it short. It's not that important of a slide, but most of the time, you know, baby goes to bed. I'll open up the laptop and I'll be like, Oh, I'll put a little TV on. Most of the time it's YouTube, but I was like on Netflix. I saw it. I was like, this looks interesting. Clicked it. And it was my, what is it called?

Doppelmonger. When you look like someone. Doppelganger. Doppelganger. Yeah. Doppelmonger. Whatever that guy's name is from the Ozarks. What's the guy from the Ozarks?

Jason Bateman. Bateman. Yeah. I've gotten that a few times and I've never agreed with it. Like at all. But it was him. I don't agree with that either. Yeah.

I don't either. Yeah. Actually, can we just stick with Dale Earnhardt? Because people responding in the DMs and I'm Dale Earnhardt really gets me excited. So I'll just stick with Dale Earnhardt. That's actually not what I'm saying. Anyway, I put it on and I watched the whole movie, which I never do. And it's, it's funny because it's like the TSA is having like hype meetings, like pep talks, like, all right, boys, it's the holidays. Everyone's going to be angry. And yeah, it's a worthwhile movie. They're

trying to get a bomb somewhere, you're Russians or you know, whatever. And yeah, I just thought it was I thought it was a good flip. It's not not not life changing. That's good. OK, OK. Is is Jude Law on it? Yeah, that's that's my other double. Watch it find out. Double monger. Double monger.

That's what we're going to call it. If you like people, you just don't look like him at all. That's my double monger. Yeah, me and Brad Pitt, he's my double monger. So yeah, that's that's what we've always said, you know. OK, OK, let's go to the next slide. I want to hear about California fly fishing. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Expert halibut fisherman over here. If you need halibut call Grant. No, I had a guy from the gym, to a big time podcast listeners listen to every single episode And I wouldn't yeah, I went into the gym. He was lifting and I was like we started talking fishing and

He said, you know, yeah, you can fish for hal but right now right right by your house and I said Well, when are we going and he was like, how about Saturday? I was like, how about Saturday? I was like, let's do it. And so got out the waiters and the boots and met him down there, used his rod and rig and all that kind of stuff. We didn't catch anything to be clear. But we go there and he's got a, he's like, I'm guessing you've never used a stripping basket. And I said, no, what's that? He goes, well, in California, we just call it a basket. And I said, No, what's that? He goes, Well, in California, we just call it a basket. And I was like, Ah, this guy listens to the podcast. And yeah, it's like this Tupperware

thing. Yeah, he said that. Yeah, no, he said that. And he had an okay podcast sticker on his on his fishing, like his Tupperware full of fishing stuff. And he's like 55. Yeah, great. Good dude. Better at fishing allegedly. Anyway, we went in there. So we were at like the, well, Jeff, you know, well, both of you probably do. You know where, did either of you ever go to the air show on Huntington beach? You know? I did not. Okay. You know where Newport, I mean, you both know where Newport beaches like the peninsula. Yeah. So if you're, if you're like literally like walking down the peninsula, Newport beach becomes Huntington beach and it's the mouth of like the Santa Ana like river bed.

And so right there, he, um, we went in and you're looking, they're very similar to flounder where they're, you know, they're looking for like drop-offs and holes. And so the surf's coming in and you go out there and, and you know, you're in like kind of the surf, but you're fishing the, the stillish more still water, you know, trying to get the halibut. We, like I said, we caught nothing, but I hadn't been on the river. Well, I guess here's an ocean, South California, they call it an ocean, but I hadn't been on South Carolina river since August.

So it felt great. And it's like, you know, you're stripping in line. It's like, what are the big trout? The big, Jeff helped me here. Oh, streamers? Yeah, streamers. It's like streamer fishing. So it's like streamer fishing and for halibut and it was really fun.

And we fished for like 90 minutes because I told him, I was like, man, I'm about to leave. Like I need to just be holding my baby as long as I can. He's like, we can be there at 630. We'll be fishing by 645 and we can leave by nine. And we did and they weren't biting, but it was fun. And it scratched the itch and he left me his kit so maybe I'll maybe I'll get out there one more time but yeah it was it was cool apparently there's perch in there too and yeah I couldn't believe it I was like I cannot believe I'm fly fishing

there was guys like trying to surf I was like look at all these kooks, these frigging kooks go home, kooks. We're trying to fish here. But yeah. I'll say pound for pound. Halibut's the best tasting fish. Oh, yeah, you've always said that before. I don't. I think that's true. Trace says that a lot. Never stop saying it.

Yeah. I don't know if we've ever had at hell, but I feel like I probably have, but I couldn't 100 percent be certain ahead. LB to LB. Best tasting fish. Yeah. OK. OK. Why are you going? Why are we going pound for pound for taste? Yeah. I was like, I was trying to do that. My head doesn't really.

Because they're big fish. OK, so meaning because it's a big fish, it still tastes good. Like cows are big. They taste good. Yeah, we'll go with that. OK, it was more kind of like a saying. Oh, got it. Yeah. Nothing to do. Yeah. Didn't really think it through. OK. I just thought of the Texas saying or something like that. Yeah. Tough to do. Yeah. No, didn't really think it through. Okay. Hey,

Texas saying or something like that. Yeah. Tough to do against tall grass. But on the, uh, I think that's sent you the link or the email I got from G Loomis. So my rod broke on the last fishing trip I went on, send it in. They just sent me a brand new one. Like no questions asked. Love it. Nice.

It's the best. By quality. By American. It's true. I did love, I read that email. I saw that they're like still, they're like because of COVID-19 and like things. I was like, really? We're still, we're still going with that?

Still talking. Well, it arrived today. You can take that long. Yeah. We're still, we're still using that as an excuse for supply. Well, it arrived today. You didn't take that long. Yeah. We're still using that as an excuse for supply chain. Because COVID-19, it might take a little longer. It might take a little longer. Four years ago.

You should update your email template. Come on. I've been in California for two weeks and I've heard more about COVID than I heard in South Carolina for the last two years. So I'm like, how are you people still talking about this? Still going on there? I don't know. Yeah. It's just people just like, oh, when COVID, I'm like, when COVID,

that's like saying when I was born as a 37 year old, like, oh, when I was born, what? That's like almost in history books at this point. Yeah. For real. I don't know. People, people be crazy. And those people are a little bit crazy. They're tripping. Let's see, I can go with a slide where I kind of know what it's going to talk about or I can go to a slide where I'm like, I don't know what this is about. And I don't know. I don't know. Let's roll it guys. King's Mountain.

This is a grant slide. Mm hmm Let's hold on. King's Mountain. This is a grant slide. Mm hmm. That was me. King's Mountain. That was you. King's Mountain. And I was me. Jugga memory. Is that another doppelmonger? For sure.

Unless we got two great bro. He's in the slack. Well, we do have Grant Bott in slack. But that was me. Now, there also was another post in the slack that was like nonsensical. Is that the one I questioned? Both of us question mark. Well, but King's Mountain was nonsensical.

No, no, no. Obviously, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah. So the one that says, oh, go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Sorry. I think you're a little late for the listeners real quick. Just a quick apology. I'm in the Taliban headquarters and the wifi is not very good. So we're hoping this episode turns out good, but there's some lagging. That's why when I say my friends deploying, that's my Marine buddy. I'm actually deployed with the Taliban right now. And so yeah, I don't have the best Wi-Fi. Kings Mountain is, okay, Kings Mountain Revolutionary War Battle and Tim Bain went to Kings Mountain Battlefield.

And I wanted to ask Jeff if he knew it because you have Kennesaw Mountain and Kings Mountain is not a mountain. It's a hill kind of like Kennesaw Mountains, not a mountain. It's a hill. And it was about an hour from where I was in the upstate and I never went. And Tim Bain was there and sending me all these photos his big history buff. And yeah, I don't know where I wanted to go with that outside of that. In South Carolina, we just call Hills Mountains. And yeah, I think that was my point. Okay, okay. Yeah. Hey, well, I'm gonna strongest slide. But yeah, it's a look up that battle. I'm gonna learn more about it. Yeah, there you go. I'm going to get something out of it.

All right. We'll flip it over to a tray slide. We're going to do some chow talk now. Chicken mole being an underrated Mexican dish. Oh yeah. That's what Trey thinks. He thinks it's underrated. Cranston, a picture of some chicken mole. It looked really good. But it's a tray slide, so you go first. Okay, then I'll take it. So well, I know Grant's had it.

Jeff, you've had mole before? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. What's your, are you a fan of it? I'm a big fan. I think it's delicious. See, most of the time, whenever I bring a mole to people is, hey, I don't, I'm not a huge fan of mole or I don't like mole. And I'm like, dude,

this is insane. Like it's so good to me. It's like saying you don't like food. Yeah. Right. Like, it's essentially it's chocolate, right? It's like, yeah. Coco. Yeah. Chocolate. Yeah. Cocoa. Yeah. Choco latte.

Oh, see. See. I'm feeling out of the three of us, Grant's probably the expert when it comes to that. Yeah. So I, you might describe what mole is. I like mole. It's a, it's a spicy sauce, but it's more on the savory side. It has cocoa powder in it.

Choco latte, as we say here in Mexico. You should be the expert because you live in Mexico, now known as Texas. But, yeah, formerly known as Mexico. Yeah, no, it's just a great dish. And I used to make it off of some like, I don't know, Reddit recipe and a crock pot. Like as a single bachelor, I'd make chicken mole. And I thought it was good and I'd eat it. And it just like, it's spiced up chicken and rice. But then Diana's mom makes me stuff all the time. Excuse me, Diana, makes me stuff all the time. And she always wants to see like what I think. And she knows I like super spicy. And so she made a chicken mole and it was like unbelievable. And I was like, this is way better than what I was

doing with like my trader Joe's recipes. So yeah, chicken mole underrated. What? Yeah, what? Yeah, I don't know. Dang. Yeah, there's a good Mexican restaurant here in in South California. We just, we just call those restaurants. Oh, that's right. The restaurant. Reddit, Redditguana. Yeah, you went there. Yeah. Yeah, dude. I think I had the chicken mole there.

And you roll in there and you're like, and every time is my first time there because they all ask you that when you sit down. You're like, is this your first time here? And I always go, yep. And then they go, oh, we'll bring you the mole sampler. And they bring out this like dish that has like eight different moles on it

and like some tortillas and stuff to like sample it with. But yeah, every time it's my first time there because that's how you get the food. That was solid Mexican food. It's good, it was really good. It's all like city, I was surprised. Is that where I met Nico? Nico. Nico? Who's the rapper I met the day of your wedding?

No, that's Neo. Neo. That one got me because I was like, Oh no, Nico. Also a singer named Nico, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds like Mexico. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, All right. Next slide. OK, OK, I got one. So I was watching the it had to be the Packers Vikings game yesterday. Green Bay almost came back and won. Well, well, actually, there'll be another topic that we can we can dovetail off of that one. I love a good Tom Brady was the was the guy. It was one of the commentators. So yeah, it was what the color commentator. Yeah. He is just okay at that. I think. Okay. Maybe. But there were definitely a couple of times where he's like, where he's like, oh, they're going to run it to the right. They're going to run it to the right. Oh, no, they went

left. Okay. Whoops. Like, but like just like three or four times were like he was like he would like call the play before it happened. And then it'd be something else. Oh, OK. Well, I guess it was something else on that play. And it's like, Tom, just don't don't try to guess. Don't guess. Don't be Tony Roma. It's OK. Oh, yeah. But then there were a couple. What was there another thing he brought up about like going forward on fourth down

because Green Bay early in the like the first half went forward on fourth down. Because Green Bay, early in the first half, went forward on fourth down. And they could have kicked the field goal, didn't get the points. And then they end up losing by two. But I'm like, oh, that should be a statistic. It kind of is. But it should be categorized as quarterback interceptions

or fumbles by a running back or wide receiver. If like coaches go for it on fourth down, like it should be looked at as like, oh, that's, that should go in the turnover column also as far as like, I agree. Yeah. Like, yeah, that should be, I don't know. Dude, that's been driving me nuts recently. As far as just, I'm like, just take the points like in college, like A&M did it a lot. I'm like, man, quit with the analytics and just take some points. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Except you can't trust any more because all the kickers,

so no, you definitely cannot. Yeah. It's a lot of green base in the playoffs. All right. Yes. They're going to be one of the wild cards. The NFC North is. I'm not a fan of the Quick on Tom Brady, if I close this slide out. What I like to say about Tom Brady, what I've always said is, Tom Brady, good commentator, better at playing football.

Yeah. Way better. That's true. Yeah. Way better. But, you know, maybe he'll get better. He'll get better. Yeah, get better today. I like better Tony Romo.

Ooh, I like Tony Romo as commentator. As a commentator, do you today. I like Tony Romo. I like Tony Romo as a commentator. As a commentator, do you really? I do. I think he's good. I like him a lot better than Joe Buck. I don't watch a lot of NFL anymore. Ooh, Joe Buck. That's true. Him and Troy Aitman.

Oh, man. Bring back Fullbacks and John Madden. Dude. Fullbacks is going to be a little easier to get done, but. Yeah. You guys must be tough. You guys don't believe in God. A.I. John Madden, come forth. Anyway, next slide.

Be real quiet color commentator. Pat Sumerall, let's bring both back. Oh, Pat Sumerall. You take right there. The best kicker in the NFL, right? Yep. Pat Sumerall. I've always said that.

I'll tell you what. Always keep saying that. Actually, that chugs my memory. Do we ever talk about Bill Belichick taking over UNC? Going to North Carolina? I don't think so. We did. Great.

Rah, rah, Carolina, rah, rah, Carolina, rah, rah, Carolina, line, go to hell state. No, that's their fight song. My mom used to sing it, but she would take my mom. My mom would say go to heck state. And when I was like 30, I was like, oh, it's go to hell. Oh, I see. So sorry, mom. Good job. Good job, mom. Good job, mom. Yeah, I'm excited about that. I really am because yeah, we talked about it because we talked about how we think with the with the portal and the money that we think this is Bill Belichick style of football that he's got a chance to like manage players and funding. I am excited to see it, especially because he's old. Yeah,

I'm like, I've never really hated Chapel Hill. Maybe it's because my mom went there. But I also think like the Carolina versus Carolina things, not a big deal. Like I just hate the taters. Like I've never like had this like, I hope Chapel Hill dies. Like that's how I feel about Clemson. So yeah, I'm okay to pull for them. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I think it'll be a real quick, real quick. As we're talking about college football, if you like college football,

you should check out Mr. Helmet. Mr. Helmet can be found at Mr. Helmet, no, just kidding, can be found at something with grid irons and the color green. But no, click the link in the show notes, use our link, you can go buy your helmet, you can go buy your Chapel Hill helmet because you like Bill Belichick.

You can buy this sweet Marine Corps Navy midship it helmet on the strength coast site. You can buy a strength helmet here pretty soon. But go check out Mr. Helmet. If you like this podcast, you want grant. I mean, not me, but my buddy in the middle of the ocean to somehow find a way to record a podcast. Well, the helmet sells will help. So head on over to mr. helmet great guy better at helmets these lights don't keep them on themselves you know what I mean yeah you know me okay speaking of college football trade

not the result you're hoping for but what'd you think of the what ball game were they playing in the Las Vegas ball? A.K.S. S.R.S. Freaking Midnight Ball. But for real, that was like the latest game. As it started at nine. Me, S.R.S. Roofing Company acquired by Home Depot. Don't ask me why I know that. The owner is an Aggie

graduated in like 99. And so yeah, he was probably pretty pumped because he bought the sponsorship for that bowl before the Aggies ended up there. But yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. It was late game even for me and I'm on West coast time. Dude. So I, I fell asleep at halftime and so it was, I think it was tied at halftime and I was, I was out and I woke up the next morning and I just saw kind of the, the outcome of it. I watched the replays. Super disappointing. I thought, I thought I'm like, Oh, they're going to win this fucking way because USC, Southern California is a hot mess.

Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think with these ball games now, like, you have no idea what. True. It's a ball game. You have no idea what teams are going to show up. Is it like, who's sitting out?

Who's in the transfer portal? Oh, you got stomped by Navy. So yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was awesome. Well, stomped byucks to lose, but not for me. Go Navy. I'm like, go for two.

I'm like, go for two. I'm like, go for two. I'm like, go for two. I'm like, go for two. I'm like, go for two. I'm like, go for two. I'm like, go for two. I'm like, go for two.

I'm like, go for two. I'm like, go for two. I'm like, go for two. I'm like, go for two. I'm like, go for two. I'm like, go for two. I'm like, go for two. I'm like, go for two. I'm like, go for two. I'm like, go for two. I'm like, go for two in the game and maybe had momentum. Good on him. Sucks to lose, but. Not for me. Go Navy.

Yes, sir. We're not swinging. You got to like 10, 10 win season. That's awesome. That's super impressive. You know who else is going to have a 10 win season. But old Donnie B was excited. Yeah, he was. South Carolina tomorrow against Illinois. Who? That's going to be a good game.

Yeah. High noon, baby. I think so. I think Illinois is pretty good. I do, too. Yeah, I think they're good. I was watching Missouri. I've got in the bag. I think you do, too. I think I was watching Missouri and Iowa today. That was a good game.

Talking about Mizzou. What? Yeah. Yeah. Mizzou stopped them. It was like fourth and one with one minute left. I had the ball down by three and they were trying to convert on a fourth and one and got stuffed. And that was what ended the game. But real close game, it was like defense

first, good offense first, a really good defense. And it was it was fun to watch. Man, let's get in. Nice. You notice that like this, the sponsors of these like bowl games are like, they're definitely like not to crap on, you know, bad boy, mowers dot com or whatever. Like SRS roofing. But these are like D-list sponsors now.

They're like Snoop Dogg just sponsored one of the bowls. It's like, who are these bowl sponsors? I was saying the same thing. My brother was texting me. He's like, dude, how does your podcast have BW Tax and Mr. Helmet and Snoop Dogg has a bowl? And I was like, I agree, man. I agree. These no name sponsors.

I think next year we sponsor one of these bowls. Yeah. Okay. Bowl. Okay. Bowl powered by the only, it's only a six and 16. That's all we, that's all we're going to do. How are these teams? They're OK. They're OK. They're OK. We're six and six. They're fine. Just not on television. They don't tell us.

All right. You stream it. That'd be good. Hmm. Speaking of the strength co. Grant, would you say that's a nice place to lift? The strength co. Nice place to lift? I think the strength going nice place to live location. Yeah, I've always said that. No, I would just I'll make this quick.

I'm not here just slinging my brand. Of course not. But yeah, no, I just know. Yeah, not me. No, I just I got back in since I moved two years ago. Nice. We're in the same shirt, Jeff. Look at that same shirt. Hey, it's like I was there. 35th Arnold classic. What do you got there? Trey? A strength Co. T I like it. Yeah, no, two years away, lived in a different places, doing different things. I mean, the place in South Carolina, I got to build out. It was great. But like the strength co-coast to Mesa, I mean, it's just,

it's a nice place to lift. Like you just, there's no nonsense. The equipment's nice. I'm not just talking about our plates that everything is just laid out perfectly. So good. The starting shrink ripped us off. I mean, it's just amazing. So yeah, the strength go a nice place to lift. So walk ins, right? Yeah, do walk in, you go click drop in. If you're in town, 25 bucks, you can go in there, book your own rack. It's, it's incredible. Yeah, it's a good place to live. Verified. Yeah, verified. Verified. It's good to see the posts back in. If you lifted at the strength, I'm like, ah, yeah.

Stopping grounds at dead strength. Well, so yeah, OK, OK. Next one up. Ronnie Millsap. OK. Let's fast forward a little bit, even though the riff is good. I'm not familiar with the riff. I'm not familiar with the riff. I'm not familiar with the riff. I'm not familiar with the riff.

I'm not familiar with the riff. I'm not familiar with the riff. I'm not familiar of the highway Driven by my restful soul told me a prisoner of the highway imprisoned by the freedom of the road now it's just a great song i didn't realize you know what makes me No, it's just a great song. I didn't realize you know, I mean, go ahead. I see you know, that's about him driving. All right. Yeah. He's driving in a cab of his truck. Why does that make you nervous? Yeah, because Ronnie Mills is blind. Wait, is he? Maybe it's not auto maybe it's not autobiographical. Yeah. Okay. Someone told him about being a prisoner.

This isn't George straight over here. Yeah, no, it's just, it's just a good song. And he's like running tobacco out of the Carolinas and he's taking wine from Napa Valley to Birmingham. And like, he's trying to explain to his wife in Tennessee that like, this is what sets him free. It's the highway. And I was like, this is like a metaphor for the Marine Corps. Like he's just, he's just a prisoner of it. He just, he just can't let it go. He's just got to get in that cab and listen to that engine tumble. It's just, it's a good tune. It's just a good tune. I was jamming out to it this morning, came on right after some

Zach top and I was like, no, I'm gonna play that song again. And then I remembered watching Star Wars, which I watch frequently, and they're like, hey, play that song again. And I was like, I'm gonna play that song again, and again, and again. So I played it like five times. I was like, I'm just gonna drop this in on the podcast,

Ronnie Millsap, Prisoner of the Highway. Good song. They also have another song. That's, there's a stranger in my house. Someone that I can't see. Cause he's blind. Yeah, dude. You can't see anybody in your house.

Yeah. You can't see anybody in your house. Stranger or not stranger. You can see anybody. Trader is not like blind people. Just saying some shots at him. Just saying it's funny. That's why they did the, that's why they did the Aggie, Aggie yells.

Whoop. people. Just saying it's funny. That's why they did that. That's why they did the Aggie Aggie yells. To communicate with the blind. That's what I want. I went to a Stevie Wonder concert once and he was 20 minutes late coming out and he just came out and he goes, sorry, I'm blind. That's it. And he starts singing.

No, he did. Yeah, he was 20 minutes. He goes, sorry, I'm blind. And he just. That was his reason. I was like, OK. One time, one time, Jeff went to a White Stripes concert and Jack White walked out and said, I'm never going to play this song

in North America again and played Seven Nations Army. And then he played it again. mean, that was a long time. I played it. Everyone now plays it a lot. Yeah. He saw that paycheck come through. Wait, what? What? You paid how much? OK. No. OK. That's a good song, though.

I like running. No, it's a good song. It's a very good song. Like we like one of those songs just kind of like hits and then you like listen to it like five, six, 10 times in a row. And you're just like, dang, this thing is good. Dag gum. Dag gum. Dag gum. It's a good song. It's a slide in here. I'm going to try to not butcher it. I love being sick. Pajarites? Oh, you crushed it.

You crushed it because I always, I take a lot of pride in my Spanish pronunciation. Even though I'm not fluent, but I take pride in like saying certain words, right? Like, you know, white people say stuff like jalapeños. And it's like jalapenos. And, and so I've been saying parajete's for a long time. Parajete's I've always said that and it's pajarrete's. It's like, there's like an H or it's the J but pajarrete's. Yeah. Yeah. So it means early birds and in Mexican culture, you go, they're open all year and it's like in someone's backyard, but it's cow and goat milk. And so you take your family out there and there'll be like a rancher and he's like parking cars in the street. We were in Jarrupa Valley, which is like kind of on the way to see the yucca man. You start getting

those kinds of vibes, but there's like, there's like, you know, Mexicans riding around on horses with, with hats on and stuff. And, and you go there and depends what you're into. A lot of people that bring their families, you know, they got the, they got their own clay pot cups and they're putting Ovaltine or, you know, some type of chocolate in the bottom and they're putting lechia de chiva inside it and giving it to their kids. There's a lot of people there too putting some weird white thing liquid in a Gatorade bottle of the spin top that was probably distilled in North Carolina in the mountains and putting that in there.

But you go and you just get the warm milk. And I've always done it in the winter. It seems like kind of more fun. Actually, I did it one time in July. But you go and you get the milk and everyone just sits around. And then all these families come like this woman selling tamales, this woman's selling tacos, this person's selling that, this guy's selling hot sauce. And you just drink non-pasteurized goat or cow milk and sit around. And so the place that we've gone, I've probably gone like five or six times now, is close to where Matios lives.

So I invited Matios. So every time I've gone, I've been like kind of a novelty because everyone is like Mexican. Like you don't, they're not trying to gentrify pajarites. Pajarites is Mexican culture. So when I go, wero means white. It's always like, wero, wero, wero. The guy that runs the place that I go, and I say place very loosely, it's literally his house and in the back he has four mangle cows and 12 goats that have no milk left in them. And, and like, you just park in his yard and then you, and then you buy it and they, they don't take Zell. They don't take Venmo. It's like, you better have cash. And anyway, so it was kind

of like, I went one time. Yeah, he doesn't need BW. No, he does not. He's already navigated those waters. So it was always like, and then I went back because I really liked it. And he's like, and then like, it's always me. So then I brought Matios, who Matios is half African, half Guatemalan. So in South California, we call that black, but his Spanish is on point. And so I get out and Matios, I told him, I was like, wear your hat. And he knew what I meant. He's listening to the podcast and he wore his hat. And he got out and they start making the jokes that they always make. And all the old timers are like, police, police,

police, police. You bring me police. And then Matios just starts like popping off in Spanish, like perfect. And they're like, wait, this guy, so then they really thought he was undercover. And so then they started sending all the kids. So like the tamale lady, the clam juice woman, like everyone that's peddling something has a kid that like if you don't buy from the adult first, they send the kid over.

So it's like, hey, my name's Sophia. I make clam juice. You mix it inside a Pacifico. It's really good. Do you want some? And you're like, no, that's okay. I'm good. And then like five minutes later, a nine year old walks up. He's like, Hey, we don't have enough money for anything. Buy this clam juice. And you're like, Oh, okay. And so anyway, so Matios bought from the first person and then everyone just kept coming up to him. And Matios left with everything. He was just like, yep, this, I'm buying that. I'm buying this. I don't want you guys to think I'm cops. And we ate tacos and yeah, it's kind of an amazing experience. I mean, you do not feel like you're in California

because you're not, you're Mexico, because that's what was California was Mexico. And yeah, Jorupa Valley. Yeah, it was fun. We went out there and Connor came and wore a hat. And it was the first time and the Mexicans even got the John Cena joke, because they were like police. And he was like, No, one Hina. And he would go like this. And they all thought it was like really funny. Yeah, it was a good time and yeah, that milk's good for your stomach. You feel real good when you get home. Everything just flows real good. The vaqueros.

Let's see. We're recording this on December the 30th. The Tim's comes out. It'll be 2025. And usually with the turn of the new year, people make resolutions. Do either of you have resolutions? Are you resolution guys? Do you do that sort of thing?

And if you do, do you have anything kind of stewing around? Trey? I'm not much of a resolution guy. I usually if I start something that will be I don't wait till the new year to do it. So like I think, hey, resolution is like start lifting weights more. Right. So like, I'm not going to wait until the new year to do it. So like, Hey, resolution is like, start lifting weights more. Right. So like, I'm not going to wait here to do that. Yeah. Just go ahead and start now. So in Texas you just call those and then I'll just count that as my resolution. Yeah. You're just like, Hey, yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to add to all the start now.

I don't, I don't have really any resolutions either. Yeah, this year my resolution is to hope my buddy has a good deployment and that's really it. Yeah, it's a good resolution. Do you have a resolution chef? Why are you a resolution guy? No, not really. Not really.

I dropped it in because it was it was New Year and I thought we could we could we could cover the transition of the year and like 2024 over 2025, you know. Yeah, I'm kind of a tray. I don't really get like something. No, good. I want to try to pull 500 this. Yeah, that wasn't that wasn't necessarily like a.

Oh, I want to do this in 2025. It was just like, OK, I've just been focusing more on deadlift lately. So just kind of where you are now. Four or five for five was the last heavy set I did. So I'm kind of going like a heavy five. And then I need to be more consistent with the intervals of it. But then four-ish days later, pull a set at 85% or 90%

of that, and then try to jump five pounds for the next one in about four or five days. Nice. It's going all right. It's going all right. We'll see. It's going okay. Probably hit up coach Brogi here. Things start stalling out. Figure out a game plan. But yeah. Hell yeah. 500. What about some books? You're going to give books? Do you recommend for 2025? What have I been reading? I've been reading Prisoner of the Highway by Rodney Millsap. It's in Braille. So my goal for 2025 is to learn Braille. I'm going to be a real estate guy. I'm going to be a real estate guy. I'm going to be a real estate guy. I'm going to be a real estate guy.

I'm going to be a real estate guy. I'm going to be a real estate guy. I'm going to be a real estate guy. I'm going to be a real estate guy. I'm going to be a real estate guy. I'm going to be a real estate guy. I'm going to be a real estate guy. I'm going to be a real estate guy.

I'm going to be a real estate guy. I'm, a lot of real estate books lately. Okay. Big real estate guy. We'll try to buy it. Try to buy a house this year. We'll see. Nice. See what the market does.

I feel like I don't know. I feel like that market's got to dip down at some point on this year. But do you get time to buy? Hey, now that Jimmy Carter's dead. Normalizing. I feel like interest rates are gonna drop. They've been holding out for Jimmy Carter. He's been the one keeping them up. He's been keeping them up.

Jimmy, Jimmy, should we drop them? Hey, don't do it. No, don't do it. Some things last a hundred years. RIP, Jimmy, Georgia's president. That's true. Georgia, Georgia, peanut man, the runner peanut man. Yeah, that's big.

Habitat for humanity. Yeah, right. Yeah, big. Yeah. You may be down to one more slide and then we'll go here. One that we all question. Well, we've got that one. I guess we couldy. Maybe. No, no, no, no. It was supposed to go to you.

That was, uh, yeah. So I wanted to explain, uh, I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm a, so I wanted to explain. So first of all, if the person that wrote that is listening to this, I appreciate it. But I also want to explain the type of a chat box messages we get. Um, like some people will get on there and they'll be like, hi, my name's Bill, I'm 64. I did this for years.

I drank alcohol for 27. I stopped two years ago when my mother died and my daughter tells me that I need to lift weights. And you came up on YouTube and it's like, wait, what? Like you just went onto a website that you've never been on and gave me your life story. And yeah, that one was a YouTube comment that said, please explain when you can. What does it say?

Please make a video about training twice a week for when that's what you can. Oh, now it like kind of makes sense. Now I follow. Context is everything. Yeah. You know what? Yeah. Once we figure it out, we will make that video. Yeah, we will make that video. Yeah. In short, I don't have the energy to make a, hey guys, and welcome back.

But I would say if I could only lift twice a week, I would just, and I'm new at this, I would just do the two starting strength workouts for as long as that work and figure the rest out later. I'll make a more better video later. But yeah, I would just squat press deadlifts one day, squat bench deadlift the other day and like add weight to everything as long as I could and buy this many strength go plates as I could have. If I had to go into debt, I'd still buy the plates. I would, I would own as many as, as it could. Yes. That's what I've always said. I like there. Sounds like

a plane to me. Video done. We're done. One step, one lift or no step one by strength go plates. Step two, lift them, lift them. Yeah., PJ, can you make a dunk and go across the bottom? Yeah. Okay, cool. Thanks. Thanks, PJ. You're the best. We appreciate you, dude. Earn that paycheck, son. Hey, one more slide. The price is right. How do you guys feel about the price is right? Did you watch it? I feel like that was the game show. Oh yeah.

The game show. Is that what's like the black guy and there's families that press the buttons? No, that's family feud. Oh, I like that one. A great show. I do like that show. I do like that one. Family Feud is great.

The price is right. I feel like. Oh, I do like that one. Yeah, Family Feud is great. The price is right. I feel like... Oh, you can't go over. Now it's Drew Carey at the Marine, hosts it, and it's all about prices of things and guessing how much stuff costs and spinning a giant wheel and stuff like that. Does this look correct look that's the. Is that the Price is Right? No, that's Vanna White.

Is that Vanna White? I can't tell. It's a really dark. I one of the. That's one of the girls from prices, right? There's like, OK, yeah. There's like women that like, well, here's the patio set that you're going to have been on. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. And then you get the, that's the documentary you need to watch is,

or the guy memorized all the items and what they cost and then just smoked everything on the show. I did hear about the documentary. It sounded very interesting. A hundred. You need to watch that one. That was really good. Yeah. It was on the other day. Actually it was on at night. Oh, documentary. Oh, the documentary. Here, I'll look it up. You go ahead, Jeff. But yeah, they had like the prices right at night because it was typically like a daytime TV show. And I thought it fit in well because they were, they were doing like nurses, teachers, firefighters, police and military were like all the people in the crowd.

And so those were all the contestants. And so they were supporting the troops. It was good. It was good. It's called Perfect Bid, the contestant who knew too much a map genius from Texas named Ted Texas. And his life of memorizing and documenting the prize amounts on the Price is Right. Amazing. Keeps track of every item. It's really good. That was fun.

Very entertaining show, though. Very entertaining show. You always get. Yeah, I would agree. It's not my favorite game show. You always get- Yeah, I would agree. It's not my favorite game show. Salt and the Earth people. What's your favorite, Jeopardy? I'm still, yeah, no, yeah, Jeopardy.

Jeopardy's better, I think. But- Yeah. Mainly because the questions are so difficult, I feel very accomplished when I get the answer. Oh, that's what I was gonna say. My problem with Jeopardy is I don't get any- Especially with the contestants don't. I don't get anything right on jeopardy. My favorite one.

Yeah. But when you get it right, like you were like, damn, yeah, my favorite one. And I say favorite loosely, like I don't have like very strong feelings about this, except it was the only thing as a family that we actually watched and watched live. Anyone want to guess what it was? It thing as a family that we actually watched and watched live. Anyone want to guess what it was? It was very big when we were like, who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Regis Helmhut or whatever his name was like that. That was like the show was like, Oh, like that guy. You nailed it. You nailed his name. That's

amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks. Regis. Is he still alive? No, you got his name on it. That's awesome. I think he passed away not too long ago. RIP. I still remember that. He was like a 98. That show was huge. That was amazing.

Yeah, I remember everyone tuning into that. And then when that guy finally won the million dollars, it was just like, Oh my gosh. The lifelines were so good. It was the best thing when you called the lifeline. It was, it was amazing. It was amazing. Yeah. That show is great. That was a really good show. Yeah. Who wants to be a millionaire? All right. Save rounds. Alibis. wants to be a millionaire. All right, save rounds, alibis.

It's mainly because. Nothing to pass. Yeah, I got nothing. Pick up your trash, I guess. Yeah, seriously. Please your area. Anything you guys wanna say about BW? Yeah, Lee. I just so much.

I'm looking, looking forward to so much. You can't say good to talk about the close cousin of the beer. Yeah. Well, let's see if there's one thing I want to say about BW Tech's. Kinda is that it's a small operation, you know, it's a it's a team that's there for you when you need them. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that.

I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that.

I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going like his dedication as that's true. I like his dedication.

Like he cared so much about the triple option that he studied himself and now he brings that same intensity to tax season. Love it. I agree. I agree. I do have a save round. One save round. I gotta, I gotta remove I do have a save round. One save round. I got to I got to remove the headphones to show you, though.

Oh, let's see it. Now we can see what everyone about them. Yeah, there's a little tussle. We don't know what this is called. Is that newspaper boy hat? What is that? Yeah, that's what it is. I don't know what it's actually called. And I feel. Get your papers. In the 1800s, we just called this extra.

Read all about it. What do you call this? Trey. Dated. OK, fair. But like, what did you call it? I had the headphones off. What do you call this hat?

I said nude. I said nude. I said nude. I said nude. I said nude. I said nude. I said nude. I said nude. I said nude. I said nude. Okay. Fair. But like, what did you call it?

I had the headphones off. What do you call this hat? I said new newspaper boy hat. That's good. Good answer. Good answer. Jeff, what do you call it? I don't know what it's actually called, but yeah, I just always associated with newspaper

boys. Or if you turn around backwards, Samuel Jackson. Or what's the Peaky Binders? You're headed there. Everyone's in the right direction. Okay, if you're not watching on YouTube, go watch on YouTube. I'm wearing what I knew growing up as called a Scally cap.

That's what they call them in New England, a Scally cap. In England, not the new version in original England, they call them a driver cap. The most prominent prominently word is a newspaper boy hat. But yeah, I was down in Beaufort at a fly fishing shop and they had some of these and I put them on and everyone in my family was making fun of me because they're like, Oh, with your mustache, you look like you're like trying to like prove something like you're from the 1800s. And I was kind of like, I kind of like this hat. You look like IRA.

Yeah, IRA. Yeah, like IRA. So big, big, big Irish. What's he trying to prove? The Irish where I'm like wider out and floppy. I've been in a lot of reading on these hats. Anyway, Jeff, you can tell me if I'm wrong or not because you're a big Mew guy. But my buddy, when he's active duty, he realizes that all his haircuts are bad. And so he likes to wear hats when he goes out. And so he likes to wear hats. And my buddy, my buddy has a lot of hats. And so it's like, Oh, like I can wear this hat for this occasion. I can wear a trucker hat. I can wear what some folks in Texas may call a cowboy hat. I can wear all these different hats. But then my buddy

was packing and he's like, okay, I have a C bag. I have a deployer bag and I have a Deployer bag and I have a main pack. Where am I going to put a hat that won't get crushed? So anyway, Diana got me this for Christmas. I don't know what you call it. It could be a Scally cap, it could be a driver's cap, it could be whatever. It won't get crushed. It won't get crushed. So it folds into nothing. And so if you follow my buddy, yeah, it's an expeditionary hat.

So I have it. I don't know what you guys think, but I'm going to rock it for a year and I don't care what anyone thinks. And yeah, it works. Yeah. They don't can now we just call this. Well, luckily on deployment, the Marine Corps issues a hat. So if they wanted you to have them, they were

now grants, grants walking around an okay podcast, t-shirt, a pair of jeans and a desert cup, boonie cover. What it was free. Anyway. All right. Paperboy hat. You guys are in good. Okay. Let's see this point of the show. Yes. Yeah. We have the guest tell us all about BW tax. We were talking about BW tax for you. Thanks for tuning in. We faked you out last week. You thought it was over episode 52. That was the last one and we'd see in 2026 the show goes on. Here we are. My apologies. I have no idea if this thing will upload or not because we are running off Taliban Wi-Fi and the Taliban are not very good at Wi-Fi. I've always said that. Yeah, they're kind of like a blue state in 2024. They just don't

get done what they want to. And so we don't, if this doesn't upload, I'm sorry. If the conversation is a little delayed, we felt it too. I don't feel bad for you. I feel bad for me because I had to have the conversation like that with Jeff and Trey just staring into my eyes. We appreciate you listening in to episode 053.
