We've got the op so here, major Jeff Bouger from the greater Mormon area of Salt Lake City on the line and uh, Mr. Trey, got lich Marine, always a Marine, as we've always said, we've never stopped saying it. Joining us from Odessa. Did I get that right? No. Not really. Not ever close. Never do. Today is January 23rd in the year of our Lord 2025. And in

Floyd Mayweather, because he's in May, all those things. Anyway, with that said, you may have woken up yesterday by the time you hear this and think the OK podcast is over. Grant's buddy finally was downrange drinking coffee and had no time to record. I'm sad. I understand you're sad, but we're still here. The show goes on episode 056556 for you Marine Corps types in the price of Bitcoin is $103,261.

And I'm no mathematician. But if I were to take the starting number when we started this podcast of $44,200 in January 4, 2024, and if I were to just do that quick math in my head, prison math, bigger number goes on top and come out with a percentage and I use two forks, I would come out to 133% increase. So we can't afford to stop doing this podcast. It doesn't matter what our sponsors pay us.

Shout out Mr. Helmet and BW Tax. Bitcoin is just on the move. So it's January 23rd in the year of the Lord 2025. Donald Trump is president. We'll probably talk about that a little bit because that's been interesting. A lot of things going on, but first, I just didn't want to do a roll call. I always want to do a roll call, make sure we have everything here. Actually, let me just kick it to the three.

Three, you want to go ahead and do the roll call, make sure everybody's here. Yeah, okay, looks like we got, yeah, we've got Godfather we got Godfather six, got Godfather six. Okay. Uh, we've got, it looks like our, our logistic officer over there. Um, untrained, unqualified, three, Hey three, I don't, I don't want to, I don't want to stop you mid tracks, but we generally do this by war fighting function. We're just jumping around getting to the best firing battery and the best logistician there ever was. Can we do it by war fighting

function? And please, I don't want any war fighting function to forget it. We're here for the trash. Yeah, just cover that. It's a good point. Yeah. Copso, Foxso, put both hats on. We'll jump right to it. Kind of main line here on the agenda is the trash. Gentlemen, it's a problem. I'm noticing a lot of trash, a lot of debris

rolling around the area. You know, we've got plastic. I don't even know what that's from. We've got MRE trash. We've got MRE heaters. We've got stuff not separated. We've got dip bottles. We've got finishing knots fishing line stuff. We've got dip bottles. We've got finishing knots, fishing line stuff. We've got

personal items, cans, personal items. Okay. Those do not go in the heads. Okay. I cannot stress that enough. Personal items, your Zen pouches, your lips that you're packing write your books on parenting right those do not belong in the head Okay, you need to stow that gear properly Chair in your in your assault pack that you're gonna take on your assault or a three-day pack could be a three-day assault We don't know But the trash is an issue. It's our it's our main priority, okay? The commander cares the most about trash first and foremost. Trash is our priority. If I may three, real quick, team, team,

just if I may real quick, trash chicks here. I just wanna say, you know, we're going through all these different things and we're learning a bunch as we do and that's part of training, we learn. But you know, one of the things we have to do, one of the things we're gonna face in the next fight is trash, okay?

We're not securing it here at home. We're not gonna get it in China and we're not gonna get it in the West and we're not gonna get it at the edge of the empire, okay? So team, team, I need you guys to take the trash seriously. Yeah, trash six out. Go ahead. Trash actual. That's Trash six out.

It's great. Great point. It's a great point from trash six, right? China has taken their trash seriously. I'm pretty sure they have no trash over there in all of China. So take care of the trash. All right. Tell your Marines, take a trash. Yeah. You want to kick it over to the one? Yeah, let's go down to the one. Is the one on the line? Is the one you on the line? No, I'm just going to cover down for the one.

So all personnel are accounted for. And if you are eating MREs, it becomes with a heater, make sure to secure that trash, but that will be checked from your pay. So if you're RBE, I need those names. If you are not in the field, I want those names so you're not getting checked for your chow. Besides that, sir, I have nothing to brief. Thank you. The deuce, Intel. Nothing for the group.

Thank you. So glad you are part of this unit. So glad that your occupational field exists. Okay. We talked about the trash for kicking over to you. We covered the trash yet. Can't cover it enough. Please, please touch it. How are we transporting the trash? How are we? Are we going to refuel our trash? No, it's still on the back of the, so we need, are we going to refuel our trash? No, just throw it all in the back of the cell phone. Do we need to separate it at all? The trash?

Yeah. Yeah. Ideally, trash, bad trash. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Secure the trash. Okay.

There's never a five, which is weird unless you're at a company level. So we'll skip the five. Over to six, Trey, how's your mic sounded? Does it sound good? Yeah. I feel like you're doing point to group, Trey, how's your mic sounded? Does it sound good? Yeah, I feel like you're doing point to group, which is good. I prefer point to point, but yeah, I feel like your signature's low.

We're good. That's good. You always tell me I'm too much. I'm too hot. Yeah, too hot, too much gains. I feel like we've done our due diligence to make sure that everyone knows that we're here, we care about the trash and the mission. Hey, mission first podcast always. That's what

I've always said. Were you a point to point guy on land nav? I was more a point, I was a point to Jeff guy. So I would start at a point and I would find Jeff and then he would find the box. Then I would write the letters down. And you would get his answer wrong. I don't know. I just found any box I could find. It's red and in the woods. Let me write this down. So excited to find just a box. Momentous occasion. Yeah. And with that, I want to take us through the agenda.

Okay. momentous occasion. Yeah. Uh, and with that, uh, why don't you take us through the agenda? Okay. Um, I feel like there's a lot of stuff here that's going to be wrapped up into one subject. So I'm going to start, well, let's just kick it off with the national championship. Let's do that. Great. I don't imagine you had much of a chance to view it. Oh, I watched the whole thing. My buddy was busy, but I watched the whole thing. Oh, OK, good, good, good. OK.

You were talking about America. America didn't watch it. I didn't watch one second. Your ship was down significantly, I think. Well, so I wanted to say, forget my buddy for a second. Why was the national championship on a Monday night? Is that normal? Couldn't tell you. Didn't tell you. That seemed weird to me.

I feel like it was during the week. Well, it was during the week last time. The NFL owns the weekends this time of year. Okay. So they're kind of, so, so you're asking for a co-use. You got put in RIFMIS. Yeah. They were, they went on to RIFMIS and they saw that it was already booked and there was, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was surface danger zone hazard. So they couldn't get on the range and they denied a co-use. Yeah. Roger Goodell, NFL six said, no, no dice. NFL six. Got it. I didn't watch any of it. Ohio State just beat the breaks off them, but Notre Dame had a rally at the end. Is that what I gathered from that?

I think Ohio State was in control pretty much the whole time. Did you watch it, Trey? I caught glimpses of it. I was flipping back and forth. I saw Notre Dame score. I'm like, oh, this could be interesting. Was that between that and American Idol or what were you thinking? That was more exciting. Okay. Yeah. Like Notre Dame scored like off the, off the rip and then Ohio state then scored like three unanswered touchdowns. It was up like 21. I can't remember what the score was at halftime. I was like, Oh man, they're just, I think it was over. Yeah. 21 seven. Yeah. It felt like they were in control the whole time.

Even when Notre Dame like tried to make it a game. So flashback it's a early August, late August. It is me, you BW tax a good guy, better at taxes. And we're watching Notre Dame play. We're going to beat the ever living out of them. We love to beat the F out of them. Go Aggies farmers fight. And we're watching him play the Aggies. Did you think at that moment that Notre Dame would be in the national championship? Absolutely not. I'm like, they barely beat A&M. Yeah. So that's what you've always said. If you barely am, you're definitely not one in the national. You're definitely not. Yeah. Yeah. Ryan day sucks.

If you have to dye your beard, you know, he does his beard. Well, just look at it. Does it, does it even get natural? I'm going to be honest. Haven't been looking at a lot of portraits of Ryan day lately. Oh, that's all I would get. What? Yeah. Oh, man. What are you doing out in the field? That's all I do in the field. My S2 has not been giving me the IPB on Ryan day lately. OK, Dice's beard. Yeah, so they win. Yeah.

I did see some funny memes today about the SEC freezing over. So, uh, my buddy's been a little busy, like text messages, not super responsive. Um, I did see my family chat popping off and it was interesting because it was my dad and his yard with snow. And, uh, I'm from the, I'm from the slow country. So down there in the low country and they got snow and they got a lot of snow, right? They got, yeah. I mean, like relatively for, yeah, for that area of the country. If you start, if your entry argument snow, it's a lot. I forgot where I was going with that. But yeah, I have no idea where I was going with that.

But yeah, it's done in South Carolina. Florida, New Orleans got like nine inches. Oh, that's what I was going with it. Yeah, no, someone said if the big 10 wins back to back, national championships, SEC will freeze over. And they had photos of Georgia and LSU stadiums completely covered in snow. That's what I was going with.

Which was pretty good. That's pretty good. Yeah, it was pretty good. Yeah, the big 10 more like the big win. Just sad. Whatever. SEC is going to win the national championship next year. That's what you've always said.

We're a basketball conference. Auburn's going to win it. We are a basketball conference. Yeah, yeah, we've always said that. Always been a basketball conference. Auburn's going to win it. We are a basketball conference. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've always said that. Always been a basketball conference. We're a baseball-basketball conference.

We're talking women's basketball, right? Right. You can talk women's, you can talk men's. You can talk any basketball. All basketball. Could be, yeah, could be little kids. It could be old men. Yeah.

Gamecocks are number two in the country talking about the female types. They play Tennessee on Monday. They've been taking names and they're 19 and one. They just put the big can of whoop ass on the Oklahoma Sooners 101 to 60. They can do the same thing to A&M. Yeah, they did. Yeah. Gig them. That's what I always say. That's a lot of points. That's a lot of points. Auburn men, number one.

17 and one. Still, huh? Are they number one? You're talking men's, I assume. Yeah, men's. OK, sorry. More of a female basketball guy, personally. A&M had a buzzer beater last night.

Men's or women's? Men's. Yeah, it's confusing. A and M had a buzzer beater last night. Men's or women's men's. Yeah. It's confused. Women's just be Kentucky tonight. Hmm. Uh, so college football's over. You guys sad? Yeah, guys, don't put it all on me. What do you want to call the P hop a little bit deep? This is kind is kind of like ready for it to be done. This playoff did not do it for me. Yeah, like I don't know.

I kind of agree with Jeff in this. Tailed off. I love college football, but man, this seemed to drag out a long time. Oh, so, okay. I loved the 14 playoff. So I know you guys love Notre Dame and Ohio State. They're like your two favorite teams,

but were you angry at the end of the season? Not that you're angry, but were you disappointed because it was those two teams or did it seem too long? Cause I'm of the opinion it's too long. Like I kind of want Christmas hits it's new year's day. And then it's like, you go back to work and then it's like, man, I can't believe I'm back to work. It's a new year. Oh, I got the national championship. I got like one more Monday before I slog through winter. And now it's, I mean, it's basically summer here.

I mean, pretty much. Yeah. Here in 29th. Snow's all about to melt. The flowers are going to start blooming in South Carolina. Spring has sprung. I think it was the teams that I did not care about that made it that made it long.

You know, maybe they're both. The first round was like completely like none of the games are good. Pointless. Yeah, it is just I don't know. Not exciting to watch. So it happened in like the Gamecocks out. She said, Clip, I sent you of during the inauguration,

someone called in to see Spain to complain about Alabama. I did see that one. That was good. That was good. Yeah, it was good. Classic, classic. Well, should we put a lid on this season? Or do you want to? I was a late, late entry into the slide deck. Hey, real quick, real quick trash sticks here. Listen, gents, update your slides.

OK, we're getting a lot of late slides. The slides got to go to garbage six, three days before and they go to dumpster six, uh, even before that. So I need you guys to update your slides. I've seen a lot of late additions on teams and I don't like that. I don't like when I go in to view the slides to show the boss and I see users in there. So your slides are due 1500 on Wednesdays, update the slides to show the boss and I see users in there. So your slides are due 1500 on Wednesdays, update the slides, but with that said,

we're just gonna count this as a save round. Just hide that one, just hide it, put it in the bottom. The boss asks about it, we'll bring it up. It was late entry, just hide that slide, but go ahead and brief it. Grant has PTSD from Powerball. Yes. I can tell.

I don't have PTSD. I have like, that's post-traumatic. I have CTSD. You have current traumatic trauma. I am traumatized, but Jeff, go ahead and brief your slide. There'll be some listeners though that will get all these jokes, but for those that are not in the military, if not sat through a brief of any sort or a conference call, these are all insanely accurate as far as how they all go.

This is the best. So yeah, late entry. Real quick, real quick, track six. I just want to say, I should say some of you guys don't know what's going on. Okay. And this is about the guy on the ground. So if you're not going home and bringing this down to the lowest echelon, you're wrong. You're wrong. And if I find that out, you're gonna be in my office. Okay. All right. That's all thanks to who's that? Was that trash?

Six trash six. Yeah, trash. Six. He's a real fire. He's garbage six or dumpster six. I mean, you guys give me garbage battery now. Yeah. Oh, that would be so good. Uh, for those that don't know six means like commander. Um, yeah. Six means commander. So just put a Dunkin donuts. Have it go across the bottom of the screen. Duncan six. Yeah, Duncan six. I call Abby kitchen six. She's still in getting. Shouldn't get it one day. Yeah.

Anyway, brief day. Well, late entry to the slide deck is the ESPN put out like a way too early top 25. I was gonna say if we wanted to go through the top 10. Oh heck yeah. Like we're starting to get as we always do. Oh yeah. Starting at 10. Uh, grant you like this one. They've got number ones. Oh, we're, we're, we're at number 10, number 10 South Carolina. I like that.

Kaka Laka. Yeah. One real US returning starters, right? Yeah. A lot of returning starters. I mean, I think what really did it for guys not going to the transfer portal is Grok made all SEC coaches as AI from movie characters. And Shane Beamer was picked as Mark Wahlberg, which is like the perfect storm. So I'm pretty sure we're going to win the national championship.

That's George Clooney. Yeah. You said perfect storm? Yeah, perfect storm. My bad. I'm not a movie. Is Mark Wahlberg in that? I thought so. I didn't mean to make a movie reference.

Oh yeah, I think he is. I think it's Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney. I was just using a figure of speech. Oh, my bad, dude. Yeah. Oh, okay. They were done with movies. Yeah.

You know. Hey, all right. The number nine, this one's for me. BYU Cougars coming in number nine. Mormon land. I think so. I think so. All right, guys, listeners, I just want you to know if you're putting in your bets for your futures and your stuff, we did so good last year predicting things. Do what I'm telling you. Yeah, there's three guys when let's do a college football. These are the three.

Yeah, yeah. Go ahead. Place all your Bitcoin on the bets that we tell you. It's a lot of coin. Number eight, LSU Tigers. Well, as who buy you bangles. I don't understand that. I don't either. I guess the quarterback's coming back and there's, I don't know. I was not impressed really with them. No, they were.

I again, you lost to A&M. That's interesting. There's, there's, that's my, that's my gauge right there. That's your entry argument. That's fine. Hmm number seven Clemson And I don't I don't I don't see it. I don't see it Who made this? Dabble Sweeney. Yeah

Article written by dabble humble break Oh yeah. Article written by dabble. Humble break. Okay. Number six, uh, Oregon ducks. I can see that. I don't know. I guess. I'll be curious to get a quarterback quarterback to come in. Yeah. Cause there's still one more transfer portal, right? Those would be one. Yeah, there's a spring one. Okay. Yeah, it's on mua's point to group. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Number five, uh, George Bulldogs. Okay. Okay. I don't know. I feel like Kirby's done. Ooh. Hmm. Ooh. Nothing's getting fired, but I think, um, I think this year, yeah, I think I think the Georgia era is done. There's no doubt. They got to me. I think they're done. Okay. I don't I don't disagree with that. I think that that's good. Hmm. Here we go. Number four Notre Dame fighting Irish seriously. I think you're going to say saw varsity's home. I want a bomb bomb bomb.

Fitzie SBN, they're probably one Notre Dame. Yeah, I mean, leave them there. They love if there's one thing Notre Dame loves to do is lose national championships. So, yeah, leave them in the top five. So they have a shot. That's fine. They open up. Actually, no. And then plays them at the beginning again. Again, first game. I Think it's second or third game. Wow, please

Please talk to the boys down in College Station. Oh, I'm gonna go down there get them I'm gonna give a little pet time to win I just need Notre Dame to get catch like three losses quickly. So they're just out of the picture. And it's just like, okay, so we can. So Trey, I know you said pep talk in Texas. We call that a midnight yell. I know you think you're Irish, but we don't like Irish. We're from Texas. We're basically Mexican. You look like one of the munchkins from the lollipop deal. That's what the last guy looked like, honestly. We represent the money. We represent men in white coats looking like janitors.

Shout out Grant's brother in law. Yeah, shut up. Oh, yeah. GRC, Grant Casaberry, go follow my Twitter. I guess. Shout out. Grands brother in law. Yeah. Yeah. GRC grand Casper. Go follow my Twitter. Uh, I think he's GRC, uh, truth on unashamed truth is his podcast. Pretty big.

You saw their Baptist types of listen to this. Feel a great Casper is go check them out. We forgive him for his, uh, head yell leader sins. Just as new as this. Okay. Entering the top three. Penn State Nittany Lions. Oh my gosh. Again, I'm like, I don't, sure. I don't know.

I just don't. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. All right. I'm curious on two in one. Let me guess. Ohio State, Texas. Oh yeah. It's Ohio State, know. Yeah. All right. I'm curious on two and one. Let me guess. Ohio State, Texas.

Oh yeah. It's Ohio State, Texas. Yeah. And that order, I'm going to say Texas is one because they had the top recruiting class. Yeah. Texas is two. Number two. Number two is Texas.

Sorry. That was my MD COA. My ML COA was Texas. Oh yeah, ML, yeah. Yeah. Hmm. And then number one, defending champions, Ohio State Buckeyes.

Yeah. That makes sense. Yeah, well. Other college footballs, it sounds like they're gonna try to make some tweaks to the playoff. They're not opposed to it. They have a plan? There could be some tweaks. I would love to see some tweaks.

They're probably just going to add more teams. They're going to be like, we're going to have 500 teams in the playoff. Go back down and start tomorrow. Yeah. Go to BCS. Yeah. Big BCS guy. Back to the BCS. It just always liked it. Brogy's college standing. I mean, if I was great,

no, it's like Brogy bait. All right. Okay. We're leaving. Wait, what, with that, the guy called in to the inauguration. I feel like we should talk a little, little politics. Now that we talk politics, I mean, we do talk politics. Yeah. I love, I love talking about, well, actually my favorite thing to say now, because I'm not talking politics. I'm just talking about the commander chief and a night. Can't say anything to me. Um, but yeah, uh, interesting, like 4,000 executive orders signed day one. Is it that many?

Uh, I don't know that it was 4,000, but it was a lot. It was like the gender one. It was like the birther one. It was the pardons of the January six people. It was a lot. It's been interesting because my buddy's been hanging out with a lot of like field grade officers, like people that are thinking about strategy. And it's interesting their inputs because they're all kind of like, I don't know, we might be going to Panama. And, and I'm just like, Panama. But it's kind of interesting,

like the military is like, so we're going to Greenland. Uh, we're just going to buy that. Uh, it's kind of interesting. Um, don't know if it's for sale, but yeah, I do want to shout out Carrie Underwood. Did anyone see, did anyone watch that? I saw them, her music, I saw a clip of it. Yeah. So, so my buddy was like shooting a fist gags. So there's like runs and we were in between runs. And so like I put it on and then like every time a Marine walked by, not me, my buddy, he was like, Hey, get over here. It's your commander in chief. Watch this.

It was like manifest destiny. Elon was dancing around autistically. And then Carrie Underwood came out and like they had the band, but it wasn't Marine Corps band. First problem. It was some other type of band, like a joint force band and like this music wouldn't play. And I called it. I was like, she's going to go acapella. And she's like, I think you know the words. And then she sang it and it was pretty good.

Um, see, I watched a little, I watched probably about six minutes of it. And then, um, I had Huey's and Cobras coming in. I had to go. But uh, see it. Oh yeah. Make section. Oh, I love a good mix session section. But yeah, anyway, Trump won kind of interesting. And then you like what Fauci got pardoned. Not a dude. That was, what was weird there at the end. He was like, well, nothing, you know, we're going to give you, we're going to pardon you for nothing. You've been charged with. Well, so I think that's interesting. And like, I don't think we have, uh, I don't know what our political spectrum is here, but I do think it's interesting. Cause like Trump was Trump was, he said that all the military that was

removed from the military for rejecting the COVID vaccine could come back, be reinstated with back pay. And I'm like, well, what does that mean? Is that like as truthful as you're putting the flag on Mars? And like, are you talking back pay? Like I've been out for three years. I mean, it paid for all that. But I thought that was interesting. And the reason I bring that up is because, so he's like coming out like, and I'm like, brother, you made this vaccine. Like that's my least favorite thing about

Trump is like, you made the vaccine. And, but then you have like on the other side, like Biden's like pardoning Fauci. Uh, any way you cut the dice. Deck, roll the dice, cut the deck. Uh, cut the guys, Fauci's sketch. Um, but as I always say, buy American, buy cast iron pans, buy cast iron plates. Um, yeah. Where would you go to do your taxes? BW tax. Yeah. Great guy. go to do your taxes? BW tax. Yeah.

Great guy. Better at taxes. He's never received no pardon. Doesn't need it. Doesn't need it. I mean, what I would like to say is where there's smoke, there's smoke. But apparently where there's smoke, there's fire with Fauci. Oh, anyway.

Some people, I saw some people were given a pardon but didn't accept it. Ooh, that's baller right there. So I think it was like some of the people who like prosecuted, they're like, no, I didn't do anything wrong. You don't understand my home life. I'd rather be here. Kind of tough. Sleep a lot better.

Yeah, sleep a lot better in child. But yeah, anyway, new president. Interesting, interesting times. Gonna be interesting. See what happens. Yeah. Yeah. Panama.

I always thought that was animal for a long time. And I think I think at one point I thought I thought the same thing. Yeah, definitely didn't. The first time I heard it, I definitely didn't realize it was Panama. I'd love to go take over Panama, like get a medal for like, I don't think they're I don't think they're saying the country Panama. What do you think they're talking about?

Pandemonium. You think that song's about the country Panama? I don't know what it's about, but that's what they're saying. I think it was forecasting Trump coming into office and taking back McKinley's gift. Ain't nothing like it. Her shiny machine got the feel for the wheel. Keep the moving parts clean. Hot shoe burning down the avenue. Got an on-ramp coming through my bedroom. Don't you know she's coming home with me. You lose her in the turn. I'll get her. Whoa. Well, I think the song's about Dale Earnhardt actually. Yeah, anyway, it kind of works.

Yeah. All right. Next slide could be. Hmm. Okay, covered that covered that. I will do this one. This would be a quick one before we jump into the big topics. How do you boys feel about unflavored sparkling water? Oh, I quickly make it flavored. Is that like, oh, is that like Perrier? Like like, you know, like a La Croix but pure or topo chico. Is there an unflavored La Croix?

Uh huh. Uh huh. What's it called? It's called pure. La Croix? It's like that kind of like lighter blue can. Oh, never seen that. And then like, Paul makes one.

Save round. Save round. Apparently Panama is a car. I really think he was forecasting the 2025 election. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I just wanted that save round. Back to the the pure pure flavored I like topo topo chico a lot By itself or does that have a line? I actually hate the lime flavored topo. No natural. I get a little wedge of lime.

I mean Jeff, you're at my wedding. Was there limes in your topo Chico? Now there's just a canoe full of topo Chico's. Yeah. Oh, that was great. Yeah, it's great. This should always be a canoe of topo Chico's everywhere. I've always said that. I've always said that like to be expeditionary, there should be a canoe of Topo Chico's everywhere. I've always said that.

I've always said that. To be expeditionary, there should be a canoe of Topo Chico's floating next to you. That's how Lewis and Clark discovered the West. Yeah, seriously. It was like right after the Wright brothers, except they didn't discover flight, but don't get me started. That was in South Carolina, wasn't it? North, but it's also fake news. That was in South Carolina, wasn't it? North, but it's also fake news. So yeah, don't let me start it. Sensitive subject, did not realize it. Great, he's the right brother.

Let me just put you this way. I kind of want to get you started. If you're not a member of Slack, you need to be a member of Slack. We have a really interesting diverse group of lifters and people. You want to talk about lifting, we're going to talk about food, people. You wanna talk about lifting, you wanna talk about food, talk about football, you wanna talk about fun. Join the Slack channel, you want your form checked, you can get your form checked.

It's $29 a month, you use code OK. And you save 10 bucks. And join the Slack channel. In our Slack channel, we have the descendant North Carolina native, Jeff Graham. I actually don't know if he's North Carolina native. He might be Georgia, but his, his heritage hails from the hills of the Western Carolinas. And he has very convincingly convinced me that the Wright brothers were not the first to flight.

And it was his great, great, great, great grandparents. And I could put the data in the Slack. You join and you say, Grant, I'm great grandparents. And I can put the data in the slack you join. And you say, Grant, I'm here for a conspiracy theory. And I would just write you back and say, in the slack channel, we call that an observation. And then I would see the link to the article. So yeah, join the slack channel. But yeah, anyway, the Wright brothers. But what were we talking about? Unflavored sparkling water.

Of course, that's what we always talk about.flavored sparkling wine. Of course. That's what we always talk about. I like topo chico's. I don't know that I've had. I've had like when you go to a fancy restaurant and they're like, would you like wine? And you're like, no, I'd like water. And they're like, how about this bottle of water that costs as much as wine? And I'm like, yeah, sure.

Yeah. Okay. No, it has to have a wine. It has to have some sort of fruit. Okay. And, but I agree with Grant. I think that wine topo chico is not as good as a straight topo chico with a wine. I don't think I've ever had a flavored topo chico. Yeah, it comes. If I can...

Sounds like I don't need to. If I, yeah, I don't need to. Yeah, you don't need to. The grapefruit one's not bad. I hate to just constantly rip on Texas when she's great on paper. It is. It's great on paper.

But Texas serves Topo Chico in plastic bottles, and the carbonation is way less. And it's not near as good. Where did you go? I've never had that. Uh, which saw falls. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah.

No, but, but like, have you guys seen the topo Chico's? It's like in a fat water bottle. It's kind of a weird shape. Yeah. It's a weird shape bottle. Yeah. It's not good. The glass bottle, even, and I'm a glass bottle fan,

big glass guy, but even the large Topo Chicos in the glass bottles aren't as good. It's the small glass bottles that have the correct carbonation, in my opinion, for what that's worth. Okay. Yeah. Put that down as an AAR. These ones are pretty good.

Rumble. Rambler. So the lights kind of hit it weird. Actually. Yeah. The massonomics guys just, Oh, is that sparkling water like a non alcoholic beer or both? It's a sparkling water. Okay.

Yeah. Rambler. Unflavored one. I think is the best. Nice. It's from Texas. The same to your race. From Austin, I think. They hail from

it's a limestone mineral blend is what they're touting. Probably a bunch of dorks made it seriously. It's great, though. It's good. Oh, we got to go to a new slide. Are we done with water? We can go a a new slide. Let's stick on this water for a little bit longer. Okay. Like there's like 20, 25 minutes. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So real quick, we're talking about water. My buddy goes to the field 140

guys, you know, no big, no big dildo and goes out there and never seen this in my buddy's 14, 13, 14, where we're at your career. And they're like, sir, the water's non potable. And I'm like, it's the water buffalo. Like it's always potable. And they're like, no, it's non potable. I'm like, I've been drinking it for two hours. And like, attention to the pause, attention in the pause, attention in the pause. Do not drink the water buffalo. And I'm like, man, what did that buffalo get

into? And so the tests come back from our trusty corpsorman and they're like, sir, you can't drink that water. I'm like, I already drank it. So what's going to happen? And they're like the pH levels off. I'm like, okay, so what do we do? And they're like, well, we don't have our testing kits. Like, well, how do you know it's off then? Like, well, we had one testing kit and it was off. Like, okay. It's like, how do you fix it? And then we'll go get more testing kits. So like, well, we don't have the stuff to fix the water. Cool. Cool. Cool. And I'm like, I've never seen this ever. Like every time there's like potable water, HM3,

Smuckatele and there's like a dick drawn in chalk underneath it and a signature like every time. And I'm just like, what do you mean we can't drink the water? They're like, well, sir, we need chlorine. I'm like chlorine. And they're like, yes, sir, to make the water palatable. Palatable or potable? They're like potable. I'm like chlorine, like the stuff you put in the pool. They're like, well, technically we just use bleach. I'm like bleach. And he's like, yes, sir. I'm like, okay, well, like how much bleach do you need? He's like, well, I think that's 200 gallons. I was like, no, that's 450 gallons. He's like, oh, that changes the math of how

much bleach. I'm like, so what's your plan here? He's like, well, that changes the math of how much bleach. I'm like, so what's your plan here? He's like, well, I got to call the base Corman, drive over there, get the test strips. And then I have to get the chlorine. I'm like, is it chlorine or is it bleach? He's like, well, we call it chlorine, sir, but it's just bleach. I'm like, so it's like, are you going to call a doctor and just walk into the store and buy a thing of bleach? He's like, yes, sir. Like, and that's going to make it more healthy of bleach. He's like, yes, sir. Like, and that's gonna make it more healthy for me. He's like, of course. Like, okay.

So no one's drinking wine. Luckily it's cold. It's windy. You know, you're not dealing with heat cases. And so they go and they get the test strips and they pour bleach in that mofo until the like how much? Well, that's what I asked.

Like an alarming amount of bleach. I'll put it to you this way. They're like attention in the pause, attention in the pause, attention in the pause. The water is potable and all the Marines like, yeah. So I go up with my have a hydro a hydroflask gear drift as a gift. I found it and it's a great hydroflask immediately tatted it up with Godfather six. So it's always been mine and went and filled it, drank it. And I was like, man, I, I grew up on well water. Like I've, I've, I've, I've drank funny tastes on water. I feel like I'm drinking pool water. And they're

like, no, sir, it's safe. And yeah, they said they put like a half a jug of bleach and they said 450 gallons. But I'm like, this water bowl has like three leak points. And we just drove over the Delta. Like we definitely lost a hundred gallons on the way. Yeah. It tasted like bleach, but anyway, we do. We support the troops. Also, I love how they call it chlorine. Oh, for the troops. Yeah. For the, they call it chlorine. Just because if you call the bleach, I won't freak out. Yeah. It's chlorine. Yeah. It's chlorine. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. So that's my favorite sparkling water. It's chlorine water. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A little bit of that bleach water comes out sparkling water bowl.

You're like, clean your insides, some of that moonshine water. You guys want an MRE update? Sorry. Off the slide deck. Yes. So we got all case B's like, yeah, you think no diversity, no diversity. And you don't think it matters until you're on day eight and you're like, getting all of one case is terrible. Yeah. I want to say that the wheat snack bread has been updated and is better. I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I used to think it was inedible, but they have a meal called chicken chunks light. 130 calories, 42 grams of protein, and it's chicken. So I often like, you know, when I wanna eat,

I'll ask like, seven, six, wanna break bread? Seven, yeah, wanna break bread? Seven, yeah I do sir. And so I like to go to an area where there's a lot of Marines, then I open it and I'm like, pepperoni pizza slice, and someone's like, I want that. And we split them all up. So I had this Lance Corporal, no disrespect to the rank, they're the future of the Marine Corps.

And I said, I'm gonna make the Broggy bowl. He's like, what's that sir? I'm like, oh, it's like a method where you cook this chunk and that chicken chunk lights or chunky chicken lights. I can't even remember what it's called. I fold them in chunk light. Yeah. So I fold the bag down, I put the chicken in and I'm like doing all the things. I'm like, now you need to find someone that has the beef ravioli and get their powdered hot sauce when she's made by Trans Packers. And then Lance Corp was like, Trans Packers. And I'm like, Oh, I get it now. And so, and then so I'm doing this whole thing and everything's everyone's watching my buddy. And I'm like, then at the end, I'm like, the key is

you have to get a wood fired taste. And so I like light the match and then I like put it like inside the MRE and like humming around and then like, Oh sir, does that make a difference? I'm like, huge difference. Like you don't understand tastes like wood-fired pizza. So everyone's match lighting their MREs now. It's great. But the chunk of chick light that macros are actually good. And it's a good meal. It's a good meal. You get tortillas, mayonnaise, the

chicken chunks. You get cheese. It's free range. Oh, yeah. Free range. Of course. Yeah, definitely real chicken. Yeah. Yeah, fresh. Yeah, but they started making new MRE bags. That's what I went around rant about where the bottom's plastic and the top's like brown, like that you're used to, and you peel it from the top, but you can't make a bowl out of it. Oh yeah. This country's going to hell in a hand basket. Thanks Obama. Yeah. Seriously. George W. Bush. Anyway, next slide. George W. Bush. Uh huh. Anyway, next slide.

Dang. Love MREs. Um, okay. I feel like we got a bunch of field related topics, so I felt like a good segue into that. Let's talk about bomb request. If I can explain to the folks what a bomb request is. So can you explain, Jeff?

I have no idea what it stands for. Which was my point. B O M. But it's always like the battery gunny, the company gunny, right? Leading up to a field op is going to be like, Hey, I got's talk about the noise. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone.

I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone.

I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm going to put them on the phone. I'm 3000 diesel batteries. No, I don't. Okay. I'm a mom. Let's talk about it in all seriousness,

cause I really want to know a bomb stands for it. I have no idea. Matt is a material. I don't think that's it. Uh, okay. Just me. I mean, don't you put your brain towards this. You stay a military man. But it's a really wide spectrum. Map pins, protractors. Oh, do you need a new Gerber knife? Let me put it on the bottom.

Put it on the bottom. Put it on the bottom request. Yeah. Trash bags to secure the trash. Shit can liners. Bill of materials. That can't be that simple. Is it?

As a previous four alpha. True. You are a four. Have you put in a bomb request before? Yeah. So we put in one and I think it's like one of my favorite stories. We had a ton. We had a ton. We had a ton of IR chemlights.

My favorite chemlights. Cause they don't light up. They're so expensive. Crazy expensive. I can't remember how much they are per pack. Hey, I just want to take a quick pause here. Remember, if you're listening to this podcast, IR chemlights that we wasted via fraud, waste,

and abuse, your tax dollars paid for. So your goal, and we're telling you, we're the front end users. We are the first responders. We are the people that get 5% discounts on Dick's supporting goods. Your tax money is getting wasted. So if you're doing your taxes this year, you do not want to be buying IR Kim lights for the artillery battery because brother, we never turn the lights off. And there is a way to make sure you give the government less money.

And that way is BW tax who is a sponsor of the OK podcast, BW tax, good guy, better at taxes. If you're tired of funding the Marine Corps, IR Kim lights that literally sit in the back of a seven ton for the rest of humanity, you need to call BW and just say, Hey, look, I don't know what the clause is. I got this video dependence. I'm married. I own a business. I'm from South Dakota. I have a lot of different stuff going on. I don't want to fund that IR chemlights. BW is your guy. He puts your money where it needs to be spent like artillery shells. Anyway,

continue. So I think Staff Sergeant Sanchez told a- My favorite type of staff sergeant. A Lance Cooley to, hey, go mark, like go mark the perimeter or something like that. Like he was marking the pause, right? With chemlights. So he's busting these chemlights open and he's just like breaking it. He's like throwing it, throwing it.

He probably like 30 to 40, just busting. I walk over there and I'm like, dude, what are you doing? He's like, oh, Seth told me to like mark the pause up with the chemlights. Everybody knows where to go. I'm like, yeah, but like, why are you keep breaking this thing? He's like, well, they're all broken. They're none of them are working. I like that.

I'm like, do you just you just blew through like 60 I are Kim lights. I'm like, they're not broken. They're like for night vision. He's like, oh, shoot, my best. And you just flip on your envy, your MVGs and it's just like, let's see for, for days man. I got that. I don't know how much money that is, but yeah, dude, they're expensive.

BW attacks, LLC.com. All right. Was that, was that all on bomb request? Oh, did you get anything on the bomb request? Do we get anything get on the bomb request? I'm going to go with the no, because I bought my own trash bags. Couldn't find 550 cord. I mean, my favorite thing, not mine, but my buddy's is like, so artillery, you know, we were watching

what's going on in Ukraine. We know cannon tubes are important. We put nets up, hide that signature low EM. And it's like, why is my Marine putting in a stake with his E tool? It's like, can we not afford hammers for the trucks? I have 600 IR chemlights in the back of my truck, but I can't get like one mallet to put the things in. Yeah, anyway.

Yeah, no. That's it. Oh, well, the mallets got rejected by the SUPO. He said, wasn't it, wasn't any money in that pot of funding, but there was a lot of money from the taxpayers for the IR chemlights. We had lots of money in that pot of funding, but there was a lot of money from our taxpayers for the IR chem lights. We had lots of money in that pot. It's really fun for my buddy being a major and a reservist because there's like all this lieutenants that think like the major walks on water and you just say things like, Hey,

I heard what you just told me. I'm just going to put my common sense civilian brain on and wrap it around it and give you an answer." And they're like, uh, aye, sir. I'm like, so you just told me that there's 140 gas masks in San Diego and you want me to take 140 Marines to San Diego to pick them up and schedule the buses and find a place for them to sleep overnight and have them pack all their gear and go down there to put them on. I just, for the sake of argument,

just let's think about it. What if one person drove there in a van and picked up all the gas mask and brought them back to where all the 140 Marines are and then issued them out? Well, sir, technically it's an if issue, which means that the Marines have to be present. Okay, okay, okay. I hear you. What if Godfather 6 assumes all responsibility? He signs for all of them. And then he signs them out each individually. Well, there's like an electric keypad down there that each Marine supposed to sign. Could we bring the keypad up here? I do do know what plug it in. Sorry

It's insane it's insane like Love Donald Trump or hate Donald Trump like Elon Musk or hating on Musk Elon Musk Department of government efficiency. Good luck brother Good luck What the concept. Never happening. You don't understand the scope of inefficiency that exists. You do not understand whatsoever. But yeah, jump around on stage. I love it.

That's my favorite thing when people talk about government conspiracies. I'm like, I don't know if you've actually seen the government work. I don't think they can pull that off. They can't pull that off. They can't pull it off. Yeah. Besides GFK, since then. Yeah, since then. Yeah. We got one time. At one time. Grassy know. That was probably on accident.

Yeah. I mean, it was done by a Marine, so obviously it was efficient. Oh, gosh. Okay. We talked about a little bit about field chow. We got field coffee, energy drinks. Does this kind of topic overlap? Are they separate? Let's hear about how you're saying caffeinated while you're out there. Well, I think it's too, you put in the brieca pot.

We sell the brieca pot at the strength coast store. This podcast is powered by the strength. I got to put my little sales pitch in there, but now the bric-a-pot is like kind of amazing. It's aluminum. It's made in Italy. You can't break it. You can break the handle. If you put the pot in your sustainment pouch in the front of your main pack and your main pack gets thrown off the truck, you can break the handle, but you can't break the functionality. thrown off the truck, you can break the handle, but you can't break the functionality. No, it's been great. I mean, it's been, it's been like the twenties and thirties, nice and cold in the morning. And yeah, no, the Brica is like, and it's like good coffee,

big fan, big fan of the Brica. The monster or the energy drink is just like, I don't understand like Marines love monsters. Do they still have the big like one BFC BFC you say it. My mom was listening so you can say what a freaking monster. Yeah. I think big freaking can. Oh, that's it. Yeah. Yeah. They still have those monsters. I don't get, um, do you like an energy drink once in a while? I, my, I had a Zion's this week, a little mango guava take a throwback in a little TBS days. I feel like you can only get those on military base. You can't, they don't sell those. I've never seen them anywhere else. I, I, yeah, I've never seen them anywhere else. Yeah. They're not bad.

They're not science. Yeah, they're not bad. Uh, yeah, but then, no, the BRCA has been good. Fieldcraft, what I've always said is Navy SEALs are super bad at fieldcraft. Artillery officers that put all their sleeping gear on the back of their trucks, they're good at fieldcraft. Wait, what coffee are you brewing? So I've been using a Cafe Bustela, you know, when you go into the coffee aisle and there's like whole bean major Pete's, I hope one day Pete's coffee makes a major Dickerson. I want to know who he is. I hope one day they make a major Brogies bit blend,

but you know, you have all these different blends and then there's like the canned coffee, like in the aluminum can. Yeah. So it's ground. That works best in a brick. It's not espresso. You need nine bars of pressure for an espresso. So like when you're at the barista and the blue haired girls like turning the knobs and you get the nice creamy froth and it's like a tree or a heart, that's nine bars. That's espresso. I used to think espresso was about the grind or the ground or the roasting. It's not. It's about the pressure that the coffee is put through. So technically a Brica is not espresso, but it has the pressure valve in it. So it separates like the fluid and it makes a crema top. So it's kind of like

a Guinness. So yeah, it's pretty good. We have we have a whole routine, you know, put on music while I'm shaving, my driver makes his coffee and he drinks it and then I make mine while he's shaving. It's like a whole thing. Yeah. How many do you have any vehicle issues? No, everything runs great. Big up armored Humvee guy. That's what I've always said.

Like you get an up armored Humvee. Like the first thing is like, I can see the world. I can see everything. There's definitely not two layers of glass with hard water marks. It's just like clear view. It's like a Tesla basically. And then as soon as you hit 30 miles per hour, nothing feels like it's going to rattle off and nothing does rattle off. It's not like your antenna mount just unscrews and falls off. Your back doors don't open while

you're driving. It's just the up arm and hubbies and have these, um, man talk about, okay, I'm going to stop being just love when there's a small Smedley Butler was right. War is a racket. Yeah. There's a small slope that it's like parked on and you gotta either get in or out and you're like, well, this is how I lose my leg. Like the door is just going to like shut and it's just gonna whoop. The top of my head right now is swollen because I've hit the top of my head

getting into the up armor and Humvee. Kevlar on or off at least 15 times in the last week. Like I have like multiple bubs. TBI. Yeah, TBI. Yeah. Thanks taxpayer. No, it was pretty funny. We were driving down MSR Boston and the back doors just fly open and I'm like, Hey, quick, hold. And the driver's

like, Oh, sir, I got this. And he like guns it and then hits the brakes and both doors like boom. I'm like, you're right. You do have it. I love it. All right. Well, trucking. You know what? The sun's going down.

Let me put on this P-hole size of a dime night vision goggle that I can take $4 million of equipment and 140 lives through and make sure that they're okay. I got this. And then the driver has his up. Yeah. I can see better without it. No, no.

Hey, PCC's, PCI's, everyone check the RPGs. Everything's good. Okay. Godfather six, Oscar Mike. Sir, Mike, my driver can't see. You've been sitting in the vehicle for an hour. What do you mean he can't see? Yeah, he just now putting on his images. Oh, I digress. Not my unit. Not my buddy's unit. No, no, no, no. Yeah.

Okay. Well, we took out all the stuff. Lingo. Uh, almost there. We got, we talked about chow going in, we talked about coffee going in. But when you're on the field, sometimes stuff's got to leave the body. We got, we talked about chow going in, we talked about coffee going in. Uh, but when you're out in the field, sometimes stuff's gotta leave the body. Talk about, uh, taking a dump in the field. When will that tray open that one up? Did you have any Porter Porter potties? So according to Joey, our, our, our range, briefer, listen, trash, you gotta secure that trash.

It's not your range, it's your battalion commander's range. You got more than 10 people in a range area, you need portageons, okay? You got more than 10 and you're calling a bare mat, you need a portageon. Don't expect me to put your portageon there, you gotta call your portage on in. Is he Cajun or East Coast?

So it took me a minute to go back to East Coast. I had gotcha. Yeah. Okay. So I'm like, hey, three, copso. Do I need to put in portage on? Oh no, it's covered. SLTE, we got you brother.

Get to the pause. There's no portage on. I'm like, so Joey said, he's like, yeah, Joey's full of it. I'm like, okay. Yeah, there's no Porta Johns. So tell me Trey, let the listeners know because it's tough, right? You're a young Lieutenant. You're out bar hopping and Encinitas. You meet a nice woman. She's like, what are you doing this weekend? You're like, I'm going to the field. She's like, what are you doing this weekend? You're like, I'm going to the field. She's like, are you a farmer?

Farmer. And you're like, no, I am from Nebraska though. Like I don't think people understand. Can you tell us what it's like? One the good thing about MREs, which I don't know if this is accurate or not, is they tend to kind of plug you up for a little bit, right? We call that a transition.

Yep. Would you say so? Oh yeah, it's 100% say so. So it depends on how long you're in the field for. I had Marines, if we were doing like an overnight field op, they would just hold it. They would just hold it. As one does. But if you're any longer than that, take me through a week longer. You're gonna have to go

probably about day two to three. Yeah, it's gonna hit like a freight train. And you're like, All right, I gotta go. Everyone is kind of on the same clock at that point. Yes, everyone is completely synced up. Yeah, everyone's synced up at that point. And so if you have a good Gunline. Gunline chief in the FTC, whoever it might be, they will bring, I don't know,

we always call it the Cadillac. Oh, I know where you're going with this. And so someone would fashion themselves if you didn't have Porter Johns, which was probably 80% of the time you didn't have one. Someone would fashion some sort of seating device. And someone were really fancy, some were not as fancy. It was essentially just a wooden crate half the time for you to sit down on out there.

And so that's what I use the majority of the time. And you take that- A metal folding chair with a hole cut through it. Exactly, yeah. I've seen that before. Someone fastened a- Toilet seat strap to it. A toilet seat to the metal chair.

I've seen that before, which was pretty nice. Uh, you just gotta clean it before you bring it back. But you do is you grab it and you just take a walk and depending on you just try to, it's harder where you were in 29 palms. Cause you try to get, you try to get a little bit of privacy, right? I mean, you try, you try, right? So you take a walk five, 10 minutes, however long that might be. I mean, that's how the Lance Corporal got lost whenever that was.

Yeah, that's true. And you start walking one direction. Yeah, you start getting nervous, like, oh, this is the desert. I could get lost. But yeah, you walk, and then what do you do? Just like for the listener. You don't have to get graphic for the listener, though.

I don't think they understand. Yeah, man, I always, you take a beat. I always, if I was in Twitter and Palms, I would face a direction that's a little bit scenic. Yeah, of course. And I would just, you do your business. Yeah, but like you dig a hole. Oh yeah, you always dig a hole, right?

Oh. Well, we do have, excuse me, mom, but this doesn't hit home unless you say it as it's known. We do have a surface shitter right now and we're trying to figure out who the surface shitter is. Well, it used to be me. I was like, Oh, but you dig a hole. You literally sit over the hole. If you're lucky, your ops chief or if you're on a gun line, you have the over the hole. If you're lucky, you're ops chief. Or if you're on a gun line, you have the ammo crates, which is a nice little square deal. And you push that over the hole. Dig a shallow hole.

You dig a shallow hole. Or like, I mean, my preferred method is take the E tool, put it in 90 degree angle, dig about one foot deep, then take the E tool, slam it down in front of you. Take your left hand, put it on it down in front of you, take your left hand, put it on the handle of the tool, take your right hand, strap your belt around the waist of your pants and pull it up out of the way. And then you have like leverage. You have stabilized by the left hand,

you got tension on the right hand. And then like every time like you get it perfect, here comes like a Huey section overhead and they know they know. I think they're looking for you. They're literally looking for you and they come down low and like you could see the gunner wave at you. Yeah, brother.

Like here I am. Yeah, I don't know. I've seen it's easier in the woods. So when we went out to North Carolina. Tell me more. Man, it's all you do is you dig a hole beside a tree and you hug a tree and you kind of squat down. Oh, so your face is towards the tree.

Face the tree. I'm looking on the other way personally. You would have leaned back against the tree. Yeah. Lean back and squat. Too uncomfortable. Yeah. Lean back. Too uncomfortable. Yeah. And so I would always, you just lean back and you hug the tree. Yeah. Do your business. Yeah. It was always nice because I always liked it because you just like shed all your gear. Oh, it's the best part. You get out there, you're like by yourself, the most vulnerable

you've ever been in terms of like a security position, but you feel completely free to like, I should set my rifle down, take my flak off and just defecate. Oh, yeah. And you feel, if you get a good one, you feel like a million bucks. Yeah. And then- See, I was always worried if I was gone too long that they're like, hey, we're going to, it's time to move. We got to go. And everyone's packing up. In Texas, we call it that red dirt road. I don't know what is your experience the same?

Very, yeah, very similar. Yeah. Jeff. Same. Yeah. So you had someone not digging holes, huh? Yeah. We got a surface man. We're trying to find him. Trying to find him.

Every section's like, no, sir. Every time I see a guy across the berm, he's got a E tool in hand. I'm like, that doesn't mean he uses it. Like someone is doing the surface work over there. We took samples. We will find out who this is. Yeah.

Yeah, it's amazing. And then when you just think about the amount of turds out there from Marines, I mean, what 1200 Marines do ITX six times a year. Oh my gosh. Like that's a lot of turds. Yeah. Yeah. Just fossilized. Yeah. It's crazy. Like you worried about UXL. I'm like, no, I'm worried about digging a hole someone that's already done. Yeah, I've done that. I'm not worried about the mortar. Anyway, thanks. Okay. Yeah, I think now we have moved to the slangs. I think these are all slangs. Some of them are for sure.

Other ones I don't know. Thoroughly T H U R L. Yep. I don't know. I never heard that. Just read them. Just read them all out. Okay. Type shit. Yeah. T Y P shit. What's, what's that? Um, so okay. So let me put it to you this way. And I've done a lot of analysis on 140 Marines in the last eight days. Basically if you're under 25, you think all this is hilarious. If you're like 25 to 27, you're like, haha, like I know what it means, but I don't like it. And if you're over 30, you're like, I have no idea what you're like, haha, like I know what it means, but I don't like it. And if you're over 30,

you're like, I have no idea what you're talking about. So sorry, mom type shit means like it be like that. And so someone's like, like, oh man, gunnies making me do gunnies making me do fire watch. Well, we don't do fire watching. Godfather. Gunny's making me sit on the cruiser from zero four to zero six type shit. Means like it'd be like that. But there's this whole other realm. I don't, I forgot what thorough means, but there's these guys called the Costco boys or Costco guys. And there's a man called the Rizler and the Rizler is like this midget that was on Jimmy Fallon. And he's like, do you guys know about the Rizler?

I've heard of him. I don't know anything. I don't think he's a midget. I think he's just a kid. Or a child. Yeah, midget child, but he's overweight and he like scratches his chin and then like rubs his neck. And then he has the Riziz and I felt like a boomer. I'm not a boomer, but I'm like, I don't understand what this means. They're like, Oh no, sir. Like it means he has the Riz. I'm like, well, what's Riz? And they're like, well, it's like he's got game. I'm like, well, where does Riz think short for charisma? It is, it is short from charisma, which none of the people explained to me know what that word

means. They've never heard that word. You should tell them it means Riz. So they go out and they rub their chin and rub their neck and they do the Riz. And then there's these guys called the Costco guys that had the Rizler on and they do this thing called three big booms. And so my driver's 20 and he's like, sir, ask corporal such and such for three big booms. I'm like, what? He's like the Costco guys do it. And I'm like, what? So I'm like, hey, corporal, got let's give me three big booms. And the Marines are like, boom, boom, boom. Like if you're not watching us on YouTube, you should like comes with like a fist like sideways. And I'm like, okay, you planted him. And then he's like, here comes Lance Corporal Biggie, asking for three big booms. Boom, boom, boom. And like everyone knows it. Like every single person.

Yeah, I don't. My point is I put it in there because I don't understand how young people talk anymore at all. There's also something called Ohio. This is my favorite one. So there's like this thing called like that's Ohio. And it means two things. And it either means like Ohio doesn't exist or Ohio sucks.

And I kind of get on board with that. I kind of like both of them. And so like, yeah, like, oh, you have to do this. That's Ohio. It's like, Oh, yeah, I like that. Yeah. Using the state of Ohio as like, that's dumb. Yeah.

The Rizler. Yeah. There's something called skivety toilets, skippety toilet. And it's like, guys, do. Yeah. The Rizler. Yeah. There's something called Skivity toilet, Skivity toilet. And it's like guys, do you know about this, Jeff? It's just like, I don't know what it means, but I've heard, I've heard the word. It's like a guy's face, like swirling down toilet,

but that wasn't the original meeting. Yeah. It was weird. And so then I've been using them to relate to the Marine. So I'm like type shit. He's got Riz, Skivity toilet. And the Marines are like- Probably incorrectly. Oh, every time.

And the Marines think it's like hilarious. So then they're like, sir, we hear you saying the radio, you want to break bread. Can you come break bread with us? And I'm like, yeah, sure. So I go over there and they're like, and then they're like, I'm like, you guys are trying too hard now. There's no way people say the things that you're saying.

But yeah, there's a whole new language out there. Gunny doesn't like it. To be fair, when Grant was also that age, he still didn't know what the U's were saying. So. Yeah. Yeah. No. Grant's just an old soul. Yeah. Just an old soul. Been an old soul. Yeah.

We got any important slides to cover? That's it. That's all I got. Trey, thanks for updating your slides. We always appreciate the forges. I did. Just... Uh...

Change. Uh... Actually, I got a question. Okay. It's about working out. I was gonna say we need an amateur lifting update, but we'll start with it. Yeah, it's going good. Doing it, doing a healthy mix of lifting and getting the heart rate up drinking and some

cardio. How do you, how much do you pay attention to heart rate while you're lifting? Not very much. Like, is that something you should pay attention to or no? Yeah. I think if like you're starting and you're doing three sets, five, five sets, five, whatever your thing is and like if your heart rate is super elevated, then your ATP is not replenished. And so if you're intelligently strength training, then if your heart rate's coming down, that's

also something that your ATP is coming up and you're ready for another heavy set. I think Repetose has something like get your heart rate below a hundred. Depends what I'm doing. If I'm like in a really serious training cycle and trying to set a PR, like I'm probably making sure if I'm just like, I'm like, I haven't squatted in seven days, eight days, nine days, longest stretch, but in the field. So I'm probably not paying attention to it if I'm coming back from like a layoff or whatever, because it's a little bit lighter. But no, I don't. I mean, I just think the rule is like three minutes rest between sets.

If you finish your gas, what is that equivalent to heart rate? I don't know. Are you overweight? Are you? So it's basically just an indicator of being rested for the next. Yeah. No, I think it's useful. Like I mean, but I just wouldn't like be a stickler about it. Like, oh, my heart rate's 105 after it took us down 100. And I mean, Jeff's the long slow distance and the fast running guy. Like this Garmin watch, Garmin solar tactical potential sponsor, Garmin watches. Like this heart rate compared to when I wear the chest monitor, completely two different things. So like if this still says 110

and I feel ready to squat, I'm squatting again. So I think the accuracy of the device probably matters a lot, but yeah. What's the amateur lifting update? Oh, I'm still just doing like one set. It's one set, like one workout. I just want to say one workout like per day. And I'm doing like three to four, three to four a week, but trying to do some more movement stuff, walks, a little bit of interval runs, that kind of stuff too. So, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Nothing too exciting. Same old, same old. Nothing new to report. Get the job done. Well, this has been your Saturday surprise. You thought we were done. We're still here. Real quick.
