All right. Welcome back to episode 060 of the OK podcast powered by the straight co-op. Your host, Grant Brogy joined here in studio from the beautiful high desert, also known as 29 palms fighting off the yucca man. Well, of course you're not live when you listen to this. This episode will air next Friday, February 21st, which means that Elon Musk will probably have 15 children. Speaking of Elon, the price of Bitcoin is $97,538 and 93 cents February 15th, the year of a lower 2025. I'm joined by Mr. once Marine, always Marine captain type Trey got latched by way of Frisco, Texas. He's dad. So big dad guy and Jeff

Bouger pronounced Biggie are honorary Mormon coming to you from the greater salt Lake city area probably likes all Elan's wives and kids and baby mamas because that's what Mormons do. We're allowed to talk about today. I will just like abbreviate some stuff for those that don't enjoy the roll call, which is no one, but the one couldn't make it today. The ones with the alpha node, the twos with the Bravo node, the three is in the jump and the four, well, he's getting his rotator cuff looked at. The six is currently at the third shop trying to do some sec reps

and but we do have Sergeant Major in trash six.. Sergeant Major, you got anything for the group? Who's sorry? Oh, uh. Hey, you're sorry. Okay, all right, I'm gonna keep this real brief. Okay, just a dovetail of what the CO said. I got a couple of things I wanna bring up. Okay, okay, PME, I pulled up the tracker.

Okay, my tracker, it's definitely up to date. That's for sure. Looks like we've got a lot of delinquencies on the PME, EPME, RPME, joint PME. Okay. So if you got PME, okay, you need to get it done. Okay. PME is the name of the game. It is the second most important thing to this battalion other than the trash. The trash obviously number one, right? CEOs of 10 take care of the trash, and then 10 number two, take care of PME, and then number three, okay, go back to the trash, all right? Cause there's probably some trash that you missed

cause you were doing PME and some demo dog came by and dropped an MRE heater on the deck. Okay, not the floor, the deck, all right? Cause naval traditions, okay? Okay, that's good to go. And we're just gonna keep police calling. Okay. I think, oh, sorry, major. Is there anything on your mind right now that if you do it or don't do it, the answer is you're wrong and maybe give an example to the listeners

like, Hey, if you haven't done X, you're wrong. Okay. Or if you're doing X, you're wrong. But like the out, it's always like one plus one, you're wrong. Okay, very well, very well, very well. Understood, understood, sir, understood. I got your guidance, I got your intent. I'm gonna move forward, I'm gonna press forward that last hundred yards, close the gap with the enemy,

close with and destroy, okay? If you're not doing your PME, You're wrong. OK, OK, OK. If you're out there and you're walking by the freaking that gun, the parade deck, OK, you know, you do your 30 inch step, right? Stepping off with the left foot. OK, yeah, I was a hat. I was a hat. Yeah, we did drill. OK, I know. OK, OK. And you see a piece of trash on the deck and you do not stop and pick it up.

You're wrong. You're wrong. Exactly. Exactly. You're wrong. You're wrong. OK. Okay. And you see a piece of trash on the deck and you do not stop and pick it up. You're wrong. You're wrong. Exactly. Exactly. You're wrong. You're wrong. Okay. Okay. Okay. I just want to see people out there doing their PME while they're picking up trash. Sergeant Major, you're not wrong. We appreciate all you do. You add so much to the lethality of this war fighting organization. Yeah. You're, you're a legend amongst giants. Who would talk warming layers in the field? Is that a major? Man, warming layers in the field. It's so funny to me.

This is all just like hot fresh takes from my buddy. But it's like, it's cold. And you know, there's a lot of things that, you know, I'm real, I'm real big. I'm a buddy is like, hey, you're cold, put on warming layers. Like when the sun does come up, you have to take the warming layers off.

Or like, you're not gonna be able to get warm later. But there are like, and like, I don't wanna talk to ninjas. I'm not a ninja talking guy. Like I really don't like to talk to ninjas. I'm not a ninja talking guy. Like I really don't like when you're wearing 16 layers and it's like 55 degrees in the middle of the day. But if there's one thing that I might can, I maybe have conceded in my old age, I'm not old, but in my old Marine Corps, long in the tooth age, when it was really cold here, you know, like in the twenties, I'm like,

I'm not going to fight beanies under Kevlar's. Like I'm just fighting wearing Kevlar's. Like I'm not going to fight it. I'm just not. And I knew it was wrong. And I posted a photo even in some primaries that served with us. We're like, Oh, sir, you've gone soft. Look at those beanies under Kevlar's. And I was like, if you only knew how much it drives me insane, but I got so many other things to work on that I'm not going to worry about it. And that 89.99 old came out and he said, Hey, that old Godfather battery, they're shooting in a pooping and in a salute and better than most of our active duty batteries. But hot

damn, they got a lot of beanies under them Kevlar's. I want you to police that trash. But he didn't tell me, he told my 8999. I said, oh good, I get what I want. That'll even have to do it. So hope you got your freaking dang ear warmers cause y'all about to be cold. It's good to go anyway.

That's good trash. That's good to go. Secure the trash. to go. Secure the trash. That was 89.99. Trey, got anything before we just move into regular topics? Yeah, I just took over as the new fro. Oh, yeah. I think they call it a DPC now. That's done. That doesn't really have the same ring as a fro. Yeah.

Fro is a family readiness officer, a DPC. What is, is it? Dependent? Oh, nevermind. No, a depend upon us. No, I'm kidding. Deployment, deployment readiness coordinator, formerly known as the family readiness officer fro.

Oh my. as the family readiness officer. Oh, the DRC is the face of the commander's vision for the unit personal and family readiness program, also known as the UF FRP or is that in, are you reading this off one tech three MCP? No, that's MCP P four nine96904. Family readiness in the maneuver. Yeah. Yeah. DPC is there. Family readiness in the offense. Yeah.

Yeah. You know, I just figured since I just had a new kid, I'd just be the new fro. To the FDL downrange. Yeah. Fro's are much underappreciated. You know, they're civilian contractors that get paid very well that don't answer to anyone. So they can come and go as they please. They get their own parking spot. They get their own office.

They decide what units get money based off how nice people are to them. They also have a lot of control over the signage in the building as you walk in. Is all this accurate? Are you making this up? No, this is 100% accurate. The part where I said they're under appreciated was- That was made up. Got you. Okay. Yeah. Everything else, you know- Straight from the pub.

Oh, the units in the field for six weeks. Why would I come to work? And hey, I think we got to talk Musk and I think it's a good transition into Musk, but man, sometimes I just start thinking about things. I'm like, brother, if Doge came here, you would not exist. I can't wait. We would just find like a, I don't know, like a new mom whose husband's deploying that actually like cares about people and be like, you're the DRC and the fro, um, and

you're going to do it for free because like you want your husband to come back or whatever the case is. Um, yeah, big DPC. This is all for my buddy. This is no personal opinions given. Yeah. But, uh, yeah, man, the fro, who may, you want to hear about a good life? There's a six week service level training exercise going on and there's a civilian contractor whose job is to be there when the Marines are in the battalion and they're not going to be there for six weeks. Like I want that job. Six week vacation.

For, I mean, it's nice for me because it's like, Whoa, whenever I'm there, there's a parking spot that I'm just going to take. And I love it. I'm the DPC. I've just told them that that means the, um, I'm a little slow on the cuff today. Deploying reserve commander. Deploying position commander. I'm the DPC.

I'm the deploying position commander. Yeah. I remember in 5.11, I would always park in the first spot and then she would come in whenever she would come in. Randomly. Just totally randomly. Yeah. And get upset.

And then she'd be like, hey Drew, you parked my spot again. I'm like, oh, my bad. And it was just, I would continue to do it. So I'd always park in the chaplain spot. And then she would get mad and I'd be like, well, my dad's a pastor. So, and she'd be like, what does that have to do with anything?

I'm like, grace through faith, grace, faith alone, grace alone, am I right? And she's like, well, yeah, but my parking spot I'm like, well, it's all God's. Yeah, technically God's parking. Yeah Sit down be humble. Yeah Kendrick, what a super bowl so much to talk about. Hey, what's that? You keep bringing up you on what's going with you on? So in summary, he's an autistic genius. Yeah. In case you didn't know. No, I don't need the whole story.

Yesterday, I heard these electric vehicles. Yeah. Have you heard of SpaceX tray? Yesterday Ashley St. Claire, who is like a 20 something year old, like MAGA head on X. Well, I guess she technically also exists outside of X, which we now have proof of posts like I gave birth to Elon's 13th child five months ago and wasn't going to talk about it. But because the media is so ruthless or whatever, and she's also a ruthless media person, like I now have to say, like, I'm like, this is my

kid, whatever. And like, please give me privacy and like secrecy, whatever. And it's the best way to go about it. Yeah. And it was just funny because Elon does have 13 kids. I mean, this like, I don't have a DNA test that's real, but like watching the news today, it's definitely real. And I think it's through four or maybe five women. And I just thought, oh, you saw him post a photo with whatever wife and those two kids on Valentine's day. And you got jealous and you were like, because of privacy reasons, I now have to let this out. No, it was just funny and interesting and interesting how far we've come as a nation where it's like, and he was just like, yeah, I told you we had a declining population issue.

I'm doing my part. Anyway, we should get rid of USAID. I wonder if that girl's like, she like pricey test positive. She was jackpot. Got him. Oh, are you kidding me? 100% richest man in the world. Yeah.

And she like, got it. Yeah, I did. Go ahead. It didn't have little like blue lines. I do like a hundred percent richest man in the world. Yeah. And she like, got it. Yeah. It was great. Go ahead. It didn't have little like blue lines.

It was just like a dollar sign popped up. It was a, it was a T. It was a T. It was a T. There was a great tweet today about an account that my buddy knows called investment Hulk on X and it says, you all realize in 30 years, there will be a small Legion of cyborg genius, Elon offspring, all worth a quarter trillion dollars each. Right? And I was like, yeah, that's true. That's about right. Anyway, that's your muscle.

I will say I've never seen, I think it's absolutely crazy. So on X I've been following that Doge. And they just post just like their policy and like the things are doing, which one, I don't know what they could just be posting stuff. I don't know if it's a hundred percent accurate. I would assume it is, but like that just how fast we're going is like blowing my mind. So I actually am curious on Jeff's thoughts on this, but like I believe all of it. And I don't believe everything like in right wing or left wing propaganda. I'm usually a skeptic, but just because like I've worked in government and that's like

for the Bush administration back in the day for the EPA for a little while. And then like now in the Marine Corps, I mean, it's like when we talk to IR chem lights and like all this stuff and like serve Mart, I believe all of it. Like I'm like, oh, we're totally like wasting money on all of this, but it is insane. I was saying to some guys the other day,

I was like, the best thing ever would be like wipe a trillion dollars worth of spending and then Elon to like fire himself and be like, and now I need to fire myself because I fixed everything. See you later. But yeah, no, it is, it is wild. But I, again, I don't always think it's a scam. Although there is a lot of scams, it's incompetence. Like that is generally what it, it's incompetence. And it's not malicious incompetence. It's just-

Straight up incompetence, yeah. Yeah, yeah. What's that, she had John Stewart interview where he was, he was talking about the way he works in the DOD. It's John Stewart, is that the guy from Mad Men with like known to kind of be renowned or endowed, not renowned, but also renowned for the same reason. Yeah.

Yeah, John Hamm. Yeah, his brother, John Stewart. Yeah, John Stewart. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And recently to the DOT, and she was like trying to defend how DOD never passes like an audit.

Yeah. And he's like, and she's like, yeah, no, we just they're just not built that way. She was saying so long those lines. She goes, what would you call that? And he's like, I would call that waste, fraudulent waste and abuse. Gross. She's like, well, we just have a difference of opinion. Yeah. Oh, gosh. Yeah, no, I can't wait because what he's about to

set his sights on the DoD and just I think that this stuff's just going to get shredded. And then, and then just like five dorks that's like working for him. Well, no, I did see an interview today. So it started with 12 dorks and, uh, and then it went to 25. I think it's a hundred dorks now. Okay. And they have enough. And I legitimately to show you my IQ, I genuinely don't know. I think the requirement is you have to have an IQ of 170. Geez.

Is that really high? I think it's really high. I don't even know, it went that high. Like put it like equate it to a PFT. A 300 is a perfect IQ. Is like a 170 a first class or is a 170 like a two ninety two? I think that's like a two ninety two. Yeah, I feel like a one forty IQ is pretty high.

I don't know why I have that number in my head. Because that's what Jeff's IQ is. No, it's definitely not. Have you taken an IQ test? I don't know. I don't think so. Like what questions do they ask? That's what I like. Is this like I have no idea.

I've never. I'm to shape is this. That's what I'm imagining. I'm so dumb that no one's ever even bothered to like. No, they're like, oh, we. We don't need to know what it is. We're it's a range. A general idea of a general range.

And we're pretty satisfied with that. And we don't need to worry about this guy. Good. Yeah, we're pretty good with the little meat eater over there. Yeah. Like we don't think you're an idiot, but we're not, you know, you're not going to see. Mm hmm. But yeah. So is that sling blade reference? Mine? Yes.

Sorry, I'm just dealing with a couple of texts in regards to government. Oh, I thought you were looking at your IQ. No, I just looked it up. I'm a 169, just missed it. Bummer. Dang. But I like hearing that Doge is like,

it started at just 12 and then it ballooned up to 25 and now it's at like 100 and it's like, they are also a victim to their, like, their government agency is ballooning quickly out of control. But no. Are those guys getting paid? I don't know. Probably not.

It's probably great resume bullet. Oh yeah, they're getting paid. No, I actually looked at the application cause it came up and it was like, I mean, it kind of made sense. I saw it and I was like, well, this is dumb. And I was like, oh, the Department of Government Efficiency. And it said, tell us three things,

like why you're a highly productive individual and should work here. And you had like 64 characters or something. Like it was like something crazy. And I was like, well, I guess that makes sense. Like if you can't be an efficient as to why you should work here and you can't work here. It's weird. It's weird. And I love the Marine Corps and I love the DOD and I love the United States of America, but there's definitely a lot of waste out there. You can be a left winger and like this podcast, we love that, but I'm going to tell you left or right, center, middle,

whatever you call yourself. We waste so much money. And yeah, you may not like the person or whoever's doing it, but you should be happy. Like it should put more money in your pocket. And I think it helps. I think it will. Yeah. Speaking of just wasting money and I guess, I don't know, but you see Fort Liberty is going back to Fort Bragg, but it's a different Bragg. Yeah. It's not the, I know I loved it, but I'm like the sign guy in Fayetteville, North Carolina. I was just like, yes, another huge payday. That's so many signs. That base is massive.

I just made all the Fort Liberty signs. The ink is just drying on those. And now I gotta make more Fort Bragg signs because we threw all those old ones away. We can't just reuse those. But yeah, good stuff. Good stuff. Yeah, good stuff. All right. That's enough government

talk. The government. Am I right? That's pretty efficient talk there. Let's talk sports. I'm going to do a little refresh right now. Did USA win the hockey game? They were up to one last time I checked. Yeah. I won four nations. Love you. Like three fights broke out in the first nine seconds. Yeah. Yeah. So I did see. So I, I was a little busy, but I got some texts like, because there's a lot of Bruins on the USA team and then March and long time Bruins captains on the Canada team, which is why I posted that Slack because I was confused because I saw a news alert coming in and out of service that said like Marsh Hand goes to Canada. And I was like, no,

please don't tell me what the Maple Leafs. But he wasn't, he's just like on this foreign nation thing. He's playing for Canada. But someone was like, Mack a boy, like fight, fight. And then I saw, I tuned in for a minute between the second and third period. And I guess a hockey announcer was like, you don't want to miss the first 10 minutes of this game. And then they play that they're like, what you mean is the first 10 seconds. And there was three fights in like 10 seconds and hockey, the last great bastion. It's the last, it's the final frontier. Has there always been bad blood between those two teams or is it more of just like recent? Between Canada and America? Well, like hockey wise.

Well, it's not pretty heated. I mean, yeah, it's really heated, but it's not, I just, I'm not insulting you Trey, but this is like a, I don't know how to talk to it in soccer reference, but this is like where teams from the NHL all go play for other teams for a tournament. So yeah. So it's like, it's, it's, can I say it's like the world cup, Jeff? Like a little, like a little mini world cup, right? Cause it's just four teams, right?

Yeah. It's just four. Uh right? Yeah, it's just four. It's kind of like Six Nations and rugby. But I just mean like, yes, in general, like any Canadian team that plays an American team, there's always like bad blood. And so now you like put that on steroids. Gotcha. OK.

Yeah, and they've played a couple of times, right? Like the Olympic finals, like gold medal matches that have been like crazy, epic games. So, yeah, there's been I think recent, especially recent history between the two teams of like some pretty like epic high stakes games. All right. So USA beats Canada. Do we have any other sports stuffs? I had three talk, but one other sports topic.

Number one and number two in men's college basketball played to their day. Auburn was victorious over Alabama at Alabama. They're so good. Did it was it was a fun game. Auburn, I guess, led the entire game. Alabama tied it up once, but it was like a close game right there, like the last, I don't know, seven minutes.

It was pretty good. Yeah, very entertaining game. Love it. Love seeing the Alabama fans. Do you see the Auburn? For it was, I think he's a baseball player. His mom had died and then he played. Oh, yeah. Today. Yeah. Was that today or yesterday?

Here's some big game. I saw some. He's long done, you hit the home run. Yeah, I saw some game, some post. I don't know. That's right. Pretty cool. Like the stadium going to kind of thing.

Yeah. Yeah. Let me see if I can pull it up. Yeah, that's pretty that's pretty wild. But yeah, love it, love it. And then this is a new thing where like they're like now like publishing, like the early like bracket. And I'm seeing that they're like putting out like the one like each region's like one through four seed.

And I'm like, I don't remember this being a thing. Previous they always and I'm like, it's just remember this being a thing. Previous, they always had. I'm like, it's just a projected bracket there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but I'm like, oh, we're all we're like seeding them. And I'm like, this is just so like this is going to change. Dude, that's 100 percent. I think this equivalent of

them trying to do the college football playoff, you know, where they talk about it? Like in the October weeks out. Yeah. And you're like, yeah, you have no idea. But you still gotta play the conference championship and whatnot. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, Auburn looks good. Hey, big game tomorrow. Women's basketball. I assume that's what we're talking about. South Carolina versus UConn. Number four versus number seven. So they lost the Longhorns. UConn? No, South Carolina.

Did they get a second loss? Oh, now I gotta look it up. Or was that their first loss? No, I feel like they lost one Sunday. So yeah, yeah, that's right. They did lose long horse 23 and two. Yeah. So they're playing Yukon 23 and three. Dang. That's just a regular, regular Texas number three. Yeah. 25 and two. Yeah. Just a regular team now. Just not winning every game.

Man. What else we got on the agenda? Three. Let's talk. Let's talk cops. Okay. Yeah. Cops. Well, I guess the current ops would be how's grants buddy doing out there in the high desert? What's been going on? What's new? Man, he's fighting the war against the Centralians and, uh, nah, it's going good out here coming up to a wind down of a service level training exercise. So Ben, um, do a lot of live fire, a lot of fire maneuver and, uh, going into, have any of you guys done? I think the answer is no, but maybe Jeff and MWX like a force on force war.

Not, not with the Marine Corps. Yeah. So yeah, you probably done with other stuff. What was this stuff called in TBS when we were like the laser tag? Oh man. Like, uh, I TIDS like, yeah, I think they call it like ditz gear or something like that. So they have a new one and it's actually like really good now. And so yeah, no, we're about to do a big like force on force.

And I say force on force. I mean, like a lot of Marines against a lot of Marines, there's like can't bring your phone. They actually like do a sweep, you know, to triangulate signal. And so we're out there. So we're getting ready to go into like a, well, I can't say how long the evolution is because obviously we're going to stuff artillery down their throats and be done in 12 hours. But yeah, so you wear all the kit and the gear and you know, if air attacks you or Artie or whatever, like

your, your stuff goes off and you got to go to like the zombie fob and like whatever you have on you is like what you have. And yeah, it's kind of, it's kind of interesting. And it's yeah, it's, it's a pretty big deal. And it's actually like really fun because you're actually going, I mean, I say it's really fun. deal and it's actually like really fun because you're actually going, I mean, I say it's really fun, the planning for it's been really fun because you're going against a thinking enemy and stuff. And so, yeah, no. So we're getting ready to do that. So I'll be out. That's why we're recording a little bit early because we wanted to bring you an episode because we really want to get to six nine and then we're going to end the

podcast and then we're going to start back when we would be at episode zero four 20. Nice. Yeah. So that's why we're recording early blaze it blaze in. So yeah, three years from now. Did you say 30 or three, three longer than that. Right. Hey man, don't ask Marines do math in public. Maybe five years. Six years.

But yeah, so doing that. So winding down, getting some more training done, getting ready across the LD, ready to go to Panama, Greenland, wherever they need us. Canada. A lot of trash talk though. Like let's not get too focused on potential enemy threats. We still cover the trash. Um, I wasn't the laundry mat today and it was kind of an interesting, I just like took a moment, you know, cause you go in and it's like, I don't know, you go to college and most kids in college don't have a lot of money. That was me. And you know, I went to a military college, just a little bit different, but it's like, I don't have money. I need to do laundry. You have like, go somewhere. You have

like stare and look at the machine and like everyone else there's like kind of in the same position socioeconomically of like, I don't have a house with a laundry mat. And then, you know, you graduate college and get a house and you have a washer and a dryer or, you know, stuff changed in your life. And I've had times in an adult where I needed a laundry mat. But it's interesting in the Marine Corps, it's like all of a sudden, you kind of feel like you're 18 again. And it's like everyone's even at the laundry mat. So it's, Hey, we're getting ready to go to the field and we're getting ready to go for a long period of time. And we just came out of the field, right? So you're out of the

field for like 48 hours. And then, but everyone's still working during the day, despite my disparaging of efficiency, but they are. And so there's like pockets of time where you're like, well, I could end up at the laundromat at 2300, but I don't want that. So I'm gonna go now. And so you go and like you're in there and you're like buying detergent from like the dispenser because you didn't have it beforehand. And you're like buying detergent from like the dispenser because you didn't have it beforehand.

And you're like literally today, I'm doing laundry, like to my right, there's like four Lance corporals. I go to use the change machine. It doesn't work. And so some captain who's a pilot is like, Hey, sir, because I'm hey sir, cause I'm wearing my major gear. Is like, here, I got extra quarters. And he hands me two bucks, like get the wall. I'm like, no, no, no. He's like, no, no, no, it's fine. I'm like, okay, great.

And I looked down and he's got a big gold ring with a star on the side. I'm like, oh, Citadel? He's like, nah, A&M. And I wanted to be like, whoop, whoop, farmers fight. But I was just like, hey, gig him. And he's like, gig him. So I got my laundry going.

Then I went next door and like bought a energy drink just so I could get changed. I gave the guys two bucks back. But then you're like, okay, now I have to wait 39 minutes. So then I come in back to the dryer. And so we are at a war. So like some people are wearing deserts.

Some people are wearing woodlands. And there's like two lieutenant colonels and they're like washing their underwear just like me. And it's just kind of funny how like, there's like basic human needs that like regardless of rank or socio economic status like in the Marine Corps that everything's just level set. And everyone's just like, yep, want clean underwear and socks to go to the field for six days. So yeah, I did, I did kind of think that was, that was funny today. There was even a Colonel in there washing his stuff. And then like everyone just sitting next to each other, like here we are doing laundry, literally like next to a gas station. So yeah,

kind of funny. Do they still have the, I might be misremembering that or remembering this from the, there's like a big, I don't know if it was a tractor trailer, but it had like washers and dryers and it would come to your position in the field. Do you remember this? I've never seen that. I could see that existing, but I've never seen it. Oh, I feel like it was when I was with headquarters and I feel like they came to like headquarters and they were like trying to get some training. And so they brought this thing out and I, I feel like they, then they would come out and they would just like, you would just go wash your stuff.

You throw like throwing a bag, write your name on it and they would bring you back. I don't, I haven't seen that. Do you never see? I've just seen the army do that. Yeah. But I haven't. that. I've just seen the army do that. Yeah. Freaking Pogues. Pogues. I don't think I've seen that. I bet it exists, but I'm sure that trailer now is just like, you probably saw it the only time it ever worked. And then it broke.

Yeah, I know. And then it's like, well, it's been in maintenance for all the part and spell and order, but then it got shipped to the wrong logistics dep, logistics Depot and then a company that makes them, they went bankrupt. And it was the only company that made that part. So now that trailer just sitting in the Dermo lot, they came out for, I think it was during steel might when I did it. And it like, I don't know, it was like towards the end of the exercise. So you were dirty. I'm like put on clean camis after like, what, like five, six days of wearing the same thing.

I'm like, dude, that makes a big difference. You feel like a different person. It's a totally like, it's crazy. Cause I, whenever I look and you know, you don't always know how many days something's going to go, but there was one iteration here where it was eight days and it was like day five I changed and I was like day five. I changed and I was like talking to Marines, my vehicle, I'm like, you guys should change your air frog gear. And they're like, Oh, but sir, like that's like a lot of work. That

means I need to take my underwear off. I'm like, have you not like taken your underwear off? You put on fresh caramels. There's like still a little dryer sheet smell and you're just like, huh, I'm a new man. Yeah. Big fan. I'm a big fan of fresh undies and clean drawers. Oh yeah. Darn tough socks. Vermont lifetime warranty. Just throw them out there. Potential sponsors. Speaking of sponsors, we have a talk sponsors tax season. It is February 15th, which means that you have two months to get your taxes done. There's no, we recommend more than BW tax. If you're a Marine, you're taking a piss and you're

reading about the third savings plan. Don't listen to those guys call BW tax. He can help you with it all. It doesn't matter where you live. He cannot be out. We appreciate BW. He still keeps lights on, keeps the checks rolling. A lot of times he just increases the check amount because he says, why would I let another sponsor in here when I can be the primary? We'll talk about our secondary sponsor here shortly, but I will say as tax season has come on, I have gotten multiple screenshots from our good friend BW of people saying first time caller, long time listener, but it's tax season. And here's what I want to say to our listeners.

You're better than that. Don't wait until February 15th. BW is going to serve you. He's going to get you fixed up, but you should have called earlier. We don't promote many people. We could. The amount of potential sponsors is getting, it's insane. We could be throwing you crazy businesses, but we throw you one. And I like you. Thank you for subscribing to YouTube. Thanks for leaving a comment on Spotify. But the fact that you waited to February is,

it's a travesty. And the only thing worse would be waiting to march. So call BW now, bwtextllc.com. Mm. Mm, dag, dag. Dag. Gum. Probably teared my eye.

Yeah. Oh, BW. I had a good conversation with him my eye. Yeah. Oh, BW. I can't come here with him this week. Yeah. OK, so we got the update on grants, buddy. So that covers cops. And then moving into I guess we call this Fops. Well, we got one more cops item, maybe.

Let me see. Dick Wolf. I'm assuming you're Referring to the law and order guy. I'm on order guy Dick wolf. Well, let's let's let me let you guys go first from the whole mountain. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, good. Yeah, yeah. I mean, Law and Order are just like, classic. I've definitely gone through like phases where, it's literally always on, so it's like one of those very dependable shows, and just a good show from like old episodes, new episodes,

regular Law and Order, SVU, Criminal of 10, I think is the weakest of the three, but still I think- Is that the one with the guy with the like lazy eye or the glass eye? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Still watchable and good in a pinch, but I think yeah, SVU or just good old classic law and order, I'm all about it. They for sure have a formula. Oh, yeah.

I want to talk about that. SVU's nice. Trey, what it, like have you had a time in your life where you watched a lot of Olivia and what's my Marine buddy's name? I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not little, yeah, that works. He might also have an island. We don't know. Yeah, we don't know. We don't know. If you're in Hollywood, you're probably on an island.

Elliot Stabler, great character. I'm a big SVU guy. It's always have been. Ice tea. Love ice tea. Ice tea. Seriously. And it's like uncover this terrible thing that just happened in life and then make an hour. And what I also like about it is there is like a backstory going that continues. Who was the Jewish cop who died like a few years ago? Oh, the real skinny guy who was ice tea's partner. Oh, Munch. Munch. Munch. We've been watching. We've been watching. No, I love it. So, so I'm a, I'm basically a junior Marine living the barracks. I got a, I got a hot plate,

hot plate, uh, two pounds of, um, uh, deli meat, turkey in my fridge. And, uh, you know, like I'm living that life. And so at night it's like, well, I got to watch something and I got boingo wifi and they're making a killing. And I saw a show called FBI. And so I put it on, but I'll be honest by the time I put it on, I'm like looking to go to sleep. So it plays and like what I like about shows like SVU is like you watch them, if you don't pay attention for 10 minutes, you start watching again, you still know what's going on. So you can text the wife, you know, whatever it is.

And this FBI show that I'm kind of sucked into, I'm like, man, this is pretty good. And I watched a second episode and a third, and I go to bed and the next day I'm like, I'm just gonna put that FBI show that I'm kind of sucked into. I'm like, man, this is pretty good. And I watched a second episode and a third, and I go to bed. And the next day I'm like, I'm just going to put that FBI show on. Like when I want to wind down, I'm fourth episode, fifth episode, I go to bed, fall asleep halfway through five. Next day I'm like, I'll just start at number six. And then I'm watching like episode seven and they like got me like in the storyline and then it ends and it's like FBI, Dick Wolf. And I was like, a legend. Like here he is with a new show. Just cranking them out. I think it's on Apple TV. Maybe it's played somewhere else. But everyone wants to talk about Tyler Sheridan and all his

shows. Like brother, I'm an old school. I like Dick Wolf. Tell you about my boy, Dick Wolf. Take my boy. Yeah. When there's an old TV show called FBI. Like from back in the 70s, 60s, 70s. Is that called Matlock? No, that's where she wrote. Yeah.

First of all, two great shows. Who Framed Roger Rabbit. You can't be any griffin going out just like people in jail. That's awesome. Yeah. Andy Griffith's like comedy show with Otis and Barney. And then he's like, you want to see this? You guys think I'm 70? Watch this. Matlock. Boom. It's phenomenal. Let's see. Colombo. Do you ever watch Colombo? No, but that's funny you bring that up because my brother-in-law A&M grad is always like, hey Colombo. It's like what he calls his boys. And I'm like, what are you talking about?

And he's like, I'm talking about, whoop, whoop, farmers, we're going to kick the ever living detectiveness out of you, Colombo. And I'm like, what? And he really loves Colombo. That's a good show. Yeah. Yeah. Giggum. You just ruined it for me. But yeah. An A&M captain gave me two bucks today when I was in need. I'm pro Aggies right now. I've always wanted to solve our city's horns off. Giggum. I love it. I love it. Dang. What else you got on the legend? I got the last two topics here. I think we can roll them into

into Fops or like sort of Fops. But the Arnold you put that in there. I don't know what you want to talk about for them. You know, but yeah, it's going to be going on this year. We get a lot of, uh, but they are our good friend Connor. What would you call Connor?

Jeff Connor? Connor is a coach. Oh, definitely a good dude. Definitely big. Can you verify that? Yeah, no, he's a good dude. He's good, dude. Good dude.

And he's not good dude. Good dude. Good dude. And he's not from the side. Good dude. Better at coaching though. Good to you. Better at coaching. Yeah.

No. So Connor, if you're, if you're interacting with strength, go Instagram, whose podcast is check. Can you verify that Trey? We still powered by the shrink. Oh, according to that sign behind you, I believe that's verified. Yep. And mug. I'm leaving black top that are like, will you guys be at the Arnold? So I don't know that all our Arnold fans listen to the okay podcast, but I know that our true fans listen to the okay podcast, like our mass anomics buddies who we haven't talked about on the show.

I mean, I'm not sure if that's true. I'm not sure if that's true. I'm not sure if that's true. I'm not sure if that's true. I'm not sure if that's true. I'm not sure if that's true. I'm not sure if that's true. I'm not sure if that's true.

I'm not sure if that's true. I'm not sure if that's true. I'm not sure if that's true. I'm not sure if that's true. I'm not sure if that's true. I'm not sure if that's true. I'm not sure if that's true. I'm don't know that all our Arnold fans listen to the okay podcast, but I know that our true fans listen to the okay podcast, like our mass anomics buddies who we haven't talked about on the show in a while. And no, we won't be at the Arnold. We'd love to be at the Arnold, but there's an FDO down range. It was that FDO down range. We support the troops. You always have, we always will. And so, uh, support the troops. If you're not watching us on YouTube, we're doing a hand salute. We, yeah. Cut. Ready to, uh, support the troops. If you're not watching us on YouTube, we're doing a hand salute. Uh, we S yeah. Cut. Ready to, uh, we support the troops. So we're not going

to be there this year. A lot of people have asked, uh, a lot of aspiring dead lifters want to get on that platform. I get it. It's the biggest show in town. Some people like world's strongest man from the nineties. Other people like the strength of deadlift booth. And I get it. It's the biggest show in town. It's better than any cage by hyenas or whatever they're calling it these days. Those things come and go strength co last forever. We only don't show up when we're in combat and we're in combat. So we won't be there. But the massonomics guys will be, and we just want to say, that's why we're not there, but we appreciate your support tag us tells you miss the strength.

Co. I may have a little signage there. If it all works out that you can go take your photo in front of, or maybe you just wear a t-shirt from last year and be like, where's the strength? Go on my free shirt. We've been known to give out 6,000 shirts a year, but yeah, it won't be at the Arnold. I did think about it. My mind's been so into war fighting.

I haven't thought about it. I was like, man, it is like mid-Fed. Yeah. For the last three years, I'm like usually neck deep in like Arnold prep. And both of you guys had to come last year. So. Had a good time.

Yeah, it was fun. It's such a good time. It's just slinging shirts. Just wearing hats and slinging shirts. I was giving deals out. I didn't know if it was authorized. Hey, hey, when you sell 500 shirts, it's authorized. Fake forgiveness and ask for permission.

That's my philosophy. Yeah, they did post Arnold sports posted a photo of like Arnold walking down the red carpet, which is taken every year. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying like we're special, but because for the last three years we've been in there, I was like, Oh, that was like right before we walked into our booth and you can see strength code nowhere, but I, but I knew, I knew the real fans knew. Yeah. We won't be there this year, but I hope it's a great year for everyone that goes, go see your friends, massonomics. I don't know where they are on the floor, but another.

I hope it's a terrible year since we're not there. Well, but we have friends there. Oh, well, I hope it's, you know. Everyone but Massenomics. I hope it's just like, it's okay. And Huck Finn. And Barefoot. Barefoot. Okay. They're the next topic. That's it. Everyone else be terrible. Everyone else like just have an okay year. Just okay. You're just, yeah, it's okay. I'm a Jaco. He's a,

couldn't get in the Marine Corps. So it'd be giving me a seal. He's probably on Doge dork. Yeah, seriously. Yeah, I know his IQ is not one 40. Yeah. So that's the, I don't know. It might be, that's the Arnold. Hey, that's the Arnold. Like to say, we want to plug massonomics right now. So you can see him. That's the Arnold. We won't be there. I mean, I don't assume you guys are going out there on your own. Are you? I am not. No, I'm not.

I feel like once you've gone with someone that owns a booth or even not to like, not to humble brig, but like with a sponsored booth, like there's no other way to go. Like what do you want me to do? Wait in a line? No, I want to get in there an hour early, drink coffee, like have a cooler somewhere. So yeah, we won't be there. Hopefully we get some tags. We'll probably post some Instagram stuff, Connor, that week to make it look like we're there, but we won't

be there. But we're looking at, we're looking for a big 2026. I just got phone with Arnold the other day and Robert F Kennedy talking about making America strong again. And yeah, we'll, we'll be back. Don't worry. the other day and Robert F Kennedy talking about making America strong again. And yeah, we'll be back. Don't worry. Actually a little surprise for 2026. We'll have Dick Wolf in the booth. Yeah. Dick Wolf. Yeah. Yeah. I like all the Instagrams with the dogs. Like when they hear the cops, the Maryland dogs, you know, if you catch my drift. Yeah, we won't be at the Arnold. But speaking of people that will be the Arnold, Barefoot Shoes is going to be at the Arnold

and you put that topic. Yeah. Barefoot Shoes. I just want to talk. I want to talk a little bit about Barefoot Shoes. They don't sponsor. They would love to, but we do sell their deadlift shoes. The ones that I like, they get a lot of shoes. I put one on the site, Ursus with the gum sole. Great shoe. I've been wearing a little bit in the green on green, been getting some comments like, Hey, what shoes are those? Super flat minimalist shoe. shoes are those super flat minimalist shoe. I'm a fan and I like usually just tell people like the rip a toe inside me, hey, buy one pair of lifting shoes. They're squat shoes, do everything. They're flat and non-compressible. But I have really enjoyed deadlifting in those or pressing in those, even running in those. I've been getting back on my sled life and pushing some prowlers and stuff and, uh, they're great shoes.

And they've also, you know, when you're getting ready to go on a boat for six months, you need minimalist packing. And, uh, I'm a fan. So if you asked about my shoes, you're interested in my shoes. You could buy them at barefoot shoes. I'll promote them. They're our friends from North Dakota, but you can also just buy them from the strength go and this keeps the lights on in this podcast.

Take, take some pressure off of BW. Um, but yeah, no, uh, I do like, I'll be 100% honest as Marines always say, sir, to be honest, I hope you're always honest. Well, but yeah, but I'm not usually so now, but no, like I didn't their first versions that I had, I didn't think were like very aesthetically pleasing. But the ones that were now, I'm not saying I'm gonna get invited to a ditty party. I, they're decent, right? They're just like a flat minimalist wide toe box shoe. And I'm a fan. So go to

the www strength.co click on the apparel page and more, go to the end and you'll see those shoes there. And we just added their awesome wraps to the store. So wrist wraps that you can use for like pressing and benching and stuff like that. That's awesome. Yeah, that's awesome. I see what you did there. Great. Well, that concludes the slide deck. Real quick, this is trash six. Oh, yeah. Go ahead.

Gentlemen, we never end a meeting early. Oh, no, no, absolutely not. We got, we have Well, I was in, I had something for you. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. I feel like we have to touch on did Kanye West lose his mind again? Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I think it's verified. Who? Yeezy. Yay. Yeezy. Oh, yay. Yay. Yay. Sorry. I'm from South Carolina. Excuse me. We were real formal. There was full name. Yeah. Kanye. Sorry. I'm from South. Excuse me. Excuse me. We were really formal there with his full name. Yeah. Kanye West. Um, I saw that he broke up with the wife and the photo was her nude. And I was like, Whoa, how is this allowed? And I was like, all right, free speech is back on. Yeah. And then did you hear about his latest drop?

No, what did he drop? Uh, so he had a Superbowl commercial. It was basically like, Hey, go to my website. You go to the website and there's one and like then there's a link there. There's one thing for sale. It's a white T-shirt with a black swastika on it. Get out of here. It's not up anymore. They got taken down, but that was he was literally selling a swastika. His publicist must hate themselves.

Like, yeah. Or they're just like, you know what? He's going to do what he wants to do. He keeps paying me. I don't care what happens. He doesn't care about his image. Wow. Yeah. White shirt with a black swastika. What's it supposed to mean? I think he's pro Nazi.

Yeah, he likes Hitler. He said that recently. Yeah, he likes Hitler. He said that recently. He thinks Nazis are good. He's not a fan of the Jewish people. You know. So he's crazy. Yeah, he's 100% bipolar. Yeah.

100%. Yeah. So. In South Carolina, we just call that emotional. I'm pretty sure they diagnosed that in South Carolina. No, no, no. They're just like, nah. He's just going through some stuff, being a little emotional. Let's get him some sweet tea. We'll just get him out there on the floor. He just needs a little Jesus in his life. So the only thing that... So he went off the reservation a couple of

years ago, right? Yeah. And then A&M uses the Kanye West song, Power for their intro. Gee, sus, walks, God show me the way because the longhorns ain't gonna take me down. That's uh. Yeah. But they, so then they pulled it and they used something else

and then they brought back Power this year. Ooh. And so I'm like, okay, now are you gonna keep it? Like what are you gonna do? it? What are you doing? It's a pretty sick intro. They're like, David, just get the crowd fired up. That's why all the A's like the A&M barstools like, come on, Kanye. What are you doing?

What does this mean for power? Gosh. Oh, oh. Uh oh. That's why in Tuscany we just like a music with no words. I'm still salty. It is every time I'm cruising down Twentieth Palms going to the lead mountain and that wind picks up and all of a sudden you're just eating sand.

I would never play any music in my Humvee, but my buddy sometimes just puts on Sandstorm and everyone likes it. Sandstorm is a class. it's on sandstorm and yeah, everyone likes it. Sandstorm is a class. I wanted to talk about that. The other thing I want to talk about is I am in the middle of the great rat war of 2025. Oh yes. Is this your daughter's?

No, I think actual rod actual actual actual rodents. Oh, you got real rodents. Yeah, it's I don't think he's claiming the miss. So it's. So you drive down like my alley or like going down the street and you see there's like tree rats that like run along the fence like there's a ton of them because we're like next like they didn't news article. Like the news came down and like interviewed like our neighborhood because there's

like a rat infestation and every time I'll walk in my garage, we'll just call those mice. Yeah. These are rats, man. They're big. I walk out at like 10 30 at night, taking out the garbage. And then every time I walk out, like scur at night taking out the garbage and then every time I walk out like scurries across, scurries across. I'm like, okay, these suckers are going down. I went buying some like traps off Amazon. There's like these little tiny ones didn't catch anything.

They would just eat it spring trap when doing things. So then I had to like upgrade. So I have these giant like industrial size rad traps that use it in like office buildings. Wait, how big is an industrial sized rad trap? So like the ones before were probably about that big, maybe three inches. And then this one is probably like a foot and a half. And it's, it takes like six D cell batteries. Oh, so it's like an Angra's. So you turn you, so the rack was in there

and it just shots him to death. And I'm like, I'm going to kill this sucker. So you eat a lot of rats stew. Is that what you're saying? Dude. So in Abby gun, we got the conversation Abby had. So I would cut. I would catch like a smaller one in the small rat trap, but it would still be alive. It wouldn't fully kill it.

Yeah. So then like humane thing to do is like I would take a hammer and just like we'll be bop on the head. Right. And then just like throw it away. I'm like, he's suffering. You got to put him out of misery. And Abby's like, that's like a serial killer, like level. What are you talking about?

OK, thanks, Jeff. I appreciate that. Yeah, like, just what do you want you to do? Nice with the I don't know whatever they do and whatever Dr. Kevorkian uses to slowly ease them into the afterlife. Now, Dr. Who Kevorkian. He's on he's on my order.

He's on my order. Sorry, I made a I guess that would be a early 2000s, late 90s reference. He I think was based out of Oregon TV. I get it. Or somewhere like in the Pacific Northwest, maybe he's in Canada. Was that Dr. Death? He would do like assisted suicide, like euthanasia for like people. And you know, I think it's illegal a lot of places.

And so he was Dr. Death. So that being said, I'm in the midst of. The Great Rap Battle, the Great Rap War 2025. How many how much what's your kill count? I'm up to like four or five. Oh, all right. He's are you stamping the side of your squat rack with my K bar?

I just put him on the wall. Just a little rat car can stay away. Now, that would be some serial killer stuff. If you like, that would be a rat blood on the wall. So maybe don't do that. That won't do that. Yeah. This made me think of this. The rat talk made me think of the song.

No, you need you when Jeff says euthanasia, youth and the song youth, the nation youth of a nation. Nah, I'm pretty sure they're saying euthanasia. Yeah. Yeah, we are. We are. We are. We are.

Youth in Asia. Oh, youth in Asia. That's what they meant. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Different nation. That's all I got. Those are my saved rounds. No, we haven't even gotten to save rounds. Oh, well, okay. Those are just rounds.

Those are just rounds, round down range. Trey, can we get a new dad update followed by a new dad lifting update? Yeah. Well, one's going to be longer than the other one. I'm I'm guessing the second one is short. That's correct. OK. How's the first one? First one's good, man. It's a dude. So I would joke with Abby that this I got this baby better be on

get on the program because the twins are like really good sleepers. Take really good naps. I'm like, this third one better be on the program because the twins are like really good sleepers, take really good naps. I'm like, this certain one better be on the same program. Dude, she got the memo, man. Your wife works great with your wife right now. Yeah. She got the memo. This baby sleeps at night, like five hour stints. That's pretty good. Which is basically just like normal sleep. Yeah.

What are you like three weeks in? Uh, what's today's date? February. Yeah. Two, two weeks. Two weeks. That's great. Wow. Back when I had a kid, it took way longer to get him to sleep longer, but that was way different. It's everything's different now than these new kids. Yeah. Yeah. These new kids, they just, they just do whatever you tell them. We had a little face time with Diesel today. Yeah, I heard, yeah, she said. The kid's got a head of hair. Yep, baby's got a lot of hair.

What I found is as I lose more hair, she gains it. Hey, circular. She needs it. She needs it more than I do. Oh goodness. Yeah. That's good. That's good.

And then you're lifting update. You want to, I'm sure we got a lot there. Trey. You know, I'm still in the process. It's in the planning mode. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're planning changes of lifting. No change. Yeah, no change. Oh, you're planning I'm, I'm still in the process. It's in the planning mode. Yeah. Yeah. We're planning stages of lifting.

No change. Yeah. No change. Oh, you're planning it. That makes sense. You gotta make sure you go through the full McPeepee. It's going to half McPeepee. Yeah.

That, that tracks. No goal between, so I know we're on, you said episode six zero and we're going to 16. Okay. The goal by next week is to come up with a date or with a update. Well, you have to live by six nine. Oh, well, yeah, no, definitely. Let's go by six one. OK, I think I like that.

It's a good goal. It's a good goal. The youth of the nation. Oh, I forgot. I forgot we do have some hidden slides that I forgot about that were on the 10 February agenda. So some slides on in case the CEO asked about the slides. Yeah, let me get a little more granularity on how long the platoon commander has been in the seat. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Then let me see. Can I get a copy of his platoon commander notebook? Yeah, I'd like to see that because yeah, yeah. What's the hidden slide? We covered the rat war. We've covered, Grant, you had big balls with a Z. Oh yeah, big balls. Some guy, I don't even know the full story. Hope it's a license plate. No, it's some, yeah, seriously. No, I think it's a trailer hitch, but, um, no in South Carolina we call those truck nuts. Um, no, uh, there was a guy, big balls that

was like a part of Doge and wasn't allowed to be a part of Doge. It wasn't allowed to be a part of Doge because he had like a joke about Indians, I think dot type something and like wasn't allowed. And then JD Vance, like Marine Corps vice president was like, no, that was a joke. Like here's the context. And so they brought him back and then like people got really upset about it. And it was just funny because all these news commentators would be like, so and so by the name big balls that owns sexy Tesla LLC. And they acted like they had never like said such terrible words in their life. And like super offended. Yeah. And it was just funny because it's like, do you watch TV these days?

And I'm not talking about Dick Wolf, but like there's so much like terrible stuff out there that like you can't laugh at big balls. Yeah. No, it's pretty sure. Ms. Rachel says that. Ooh, you should call her and tell her that's not appropriate. That's a kid. That's a kid's TV show. Big balls, D's nuts, some of my favorite sayings.

Oh, I didn't know about the hidden slides. Hidden slides. Yeah. Any updates on that, the suspected Chief Warrant Officer Five driving that truck around? Any updates on tracking down the driver? Yes and no. So have gone back to the chow hall, Littleton Chow Hall, PFC Littleton, Medal of Honor recipient.

Everything stays the same, teaching salutes, and everything you could possibly do. The hospitality manager there. And the truck's still there. But one day I went and the truck was gone and then I noticed that the truck was on parts of the barracks. So what I assume is that the owner of the truck is there on base temporarily or it's just like doing something weird at the barracks. But I think that maybe they're there temporarily, but they're high ranking enough. Like maybe they're a master

sergeant, master gunnery sergeant select that like needs to go to a school and they, I don't know. I did pass the truck and try to give some, some truck talk and they didn't respond when I was upset. Couldn't tell gender or race or anything like that could be qualifying in terms of rank. I mean, that's kind of true, but yeah. I think I missed something. Well, I mean, like, so my wife likes to wear my green Marine Corps sweatshirt out a lot. And for those that don't know, my wife's Mexican. And they're like, she's like, I get asked all the time if I'm a Marine. I'm like, well, yeah, you're Hispanic and you're fit and you're wearing a Marine Corps sweatshirt. And she's like, but I just tell them now. I was like, oh, just tell me you're a staff surgeon in supply and everyone will believe

you. Like, because that's like, I mean, stereotypes are real. So no, I don't know. I am going to try. I'm going to run that to ground. I will run that to ground. And I'll find out what's going on with that. But no, I don't know.

I do see it. I did have some good truck talk though in the, what was the Mad Max debrief? I can't remember how it came up, but I'm sitting in a theater auditorium. I'm like kind of towards the front because I'm a commander and I can't remember what happened. Oh, someone came in and asked something of someone's parking spot. It was perfect. It was like a Sergeant Major when she's like, why are you at a tactical debrief? And I'm like, what kind of truck? And they're like, well, sir, I know it's not you. I know what your big old truck is. And so I'm like random gunnery Sergeant tomorrow is like, sir, what do you drive? And I'm like, oh, just a 95 long bed Chevy extended cab with no third door and two cup holders

instead of an airbag and a 30 gallon gas tank. He goes, does it have an American flag on the back? I'm like, it does. And he's like, oh, I've seen that truck. And I was like, oh, he's like, man, I love old trucks. We took over this house and it had a Ford Ranger 1993 in the front yard. And I was like, oh, he's like, man, I love old trucks. We took over this house and it had a Ford Ranger 1993 in the front yard.

And I was like, is it yellow? He's like, with the Jurassic Park stickers? When she gave up to me, but I knew. And I was like, yeah, he goes, yeah, that thing, only thing you needed was a dead battery. And we start going and then like a general gets up in the front and he's like, yes, why'd you spot the battery? I'm like, we have to stop talking.

There's a general talking. That was truck talk at its finest. Truck talk. We have to stop talking. In the South, we just go and talk. Well, we literally stood up, attention on deck, sat down and then he kept telling me about the dead battery. I was like, now is not the time.
