I'm joined in beautiful Seal Beach, California, maybe Fountain Valley, a great place to live, but we wouldn't want to dox anybody by Mr. Jeff Bouger, our resident Mormon. He is exploring new faiths. He's looking into yoga and free religion out there in California. We know he's doing a bunch of crystals. He's just seeing what the options are for him out there because you know, everyone in the entire state of California with a gigantic population is liberal and gay because that's what Fox news told people. And that's what the Fox news, what listeners believe, um, to the point that they even think the Fisher liberal, it's crazy. Also joining us from Wichita Falls, Texas is Mr. Trey Gottlisch.

We do have a lot of outlying stations today. So just make sure you don't forget them as you go around the room and see if everyone has anything for the group.

Good, good. OK, I mean, we'll kick this now. Coordinating instructions, make sure you hit outlying stations. Copy, copy all. I got time, grant standard time of 19.45. It puts us right on TOT to start this meeting. We don't miss TOTs, we hit TOTs is what we do. We don't Rolex, we don't push things to the left

or the right, we just go right down the middle. And we start things on time, on target, first round effects, all that good stuff. Okay, first up one one got anyone from admin? That's you Trey. Am I the one? Tonight you are. I gotta get in character. Nothing from the one, nothing for the group. Okay, great. I'm sure there's lots of government travel, car, car delinquencies, but okay, we won't brief those. We'll get those offline. The deuce.

We'll circle back. We can circle back. Okay. Okay. I want to close the loop on that. Yeah, we can close the looping. So my bill changes every week. Do you say to Trey? Am I also the deuce? Yeah, you're the deuce. Uh, yes sir, uh, I've received a message, uh, the laminator machine is still down. Um, if you need any new maps though, uh, I got a buddy and he will be able to help us out. Um, Hey, listen real quick.

This is trash six. I just want to say I've been frigging doing the ranges, them range cleanups, because it's not your range, your battalion commander's range. And I've seen a lot of thousand mile an hour tape leftover and just collect that trash up and give it to the deuce and he can laminate them, them frigging that go on maps themselves. Trash six outs. Thanks for what you do, team. Thank you trash six.

That just brings us back. Okay. Just want to get everybody centered. Trash is number one priority. Still the number one priority. Always going to be the number one priority. It's what this battalion is all about is the trash. Okay. Okay. It's in, and it's out of hand. It's out, it's getting out of hand.

I think we've lost focused. Okay. Thanks Deuce. Okay. Anyone, can we talk, can we talk cops?? Copso, you here? That's you Trey. Current operations? No, nothing for cops. Oh, okay. Okay. Good. It has been a decade since I've been one of these meetings.

Okay. Let's transition to- You go cops. Yeah, someone go cops. Let's transition to Fops then if there's nothing for the group for cops. That's you Trey. Oh Fops. Yes sir. For Fops, a lot of things on the horizon. It's coming down the pipeline. I just want everybody to get ready for the stuff coming down the pipe. I'll brief that when it gets a little bit closer. This is the XO sidebar conversations to a minimum and a three alpha. We know you're doing FOPs for the first time.

We generally do 90, 60, 30 days out. Okay. 96 days. So we know we have the trash inspection 90 days out and we got the frigging dang barracks trash inspection 60 days out and we got the frigging dang office space trash inspection 30 days out. Okay, three alpha, you got that? Roger, sir, yeah, I got that. I want you to make me a quad slide,

update it with a sheet in the back of all the trash collected this week and I want that updated daily and in my inbox is zero eight before duty change, are we good? Roger. Okay, good. I think I'll run it by you. I'll run it by you before, sir, XL,

I'll run it by you before I turn it into the CEO, if that's okay. Yeah, everything comes through me. Okay, nothing sees trash six until it comes to trash five. That makes sense, okay. Numerical order. Three, three, three, you got it. That makes sense, okay. Numerical order. Three, three, three, you got it. Sorry to jump on you.

Just a major jumping on another major, but you got it. You know, I feel great, friendly fire, am I right? Am I right? Hey, good stuff, good stuff. More like talking guns, am I right? Okay, okay, quick admin note. Remember TBS in 1999? Oh, 1999 with the Arctic alpha.

We didn't have, they didn't even have beanies back then. Hell yeah, brother. Deuce, you don't even know what it's like to shine boots. Anyway, we die grasses feel great. Go ahead, Thurman. Okay, quick admin note. The Fro just texted me, not gonna be at the meeting, obviously at the Fro conference in the Bahamas,

as is tradition. But parking, people are parking in the Fro's spot and the Fro's guest spot, okay? Okay, we need to leave the Fro's spot open and the Fro's guest spot, okay? The Fro rates a guest spot. And we need to keep that open. I don't care if it's the duty, okay?

We need to just freaking not park in the Fro's or the froze guesser. But so it's actually come down the fro ox. They also get a guest of guest spot. OK, OK, good to go. It's come down from that's coming down from regiment. OK, well, pass it to the police. Yes, Sergeant. This is this is the edge.

This is the edge. If I have an appointment with the fro to go over admin rosters for deployment, can I park in the fro guest spot? No No, it's in the battalion order. Okay, you obviously have not read the battalion order on parking Okay, I know the CEO trash sticks put out his guidance on parking spots Okay, freaking Dagger get your get your nose back in the battalion order. Okay I'm gonna I'm gonna click off safe.

Don't make me click off safe, okay? I don't wanna click off safe. All right, I digress, I digress. For Shop, what do we got going on? We got, I know we ordered some extra large dumpsters. Extra large dumpsters, where are we at? Correct, sir, yeah, we ordered some extra large dumpsters. A new addition to Fasemo this year is trash inspection.

The trash portion of Fasemo. Hey, real quick trash export. Can you tell us what Fasemo stands for? Sometimes I forget. No sir, no one really knows. Okay, okay. Fair enough. I'll look into it, I'll get back to you.

Yeah, that's a, be on the quiet nature. I'll get back to you. Yeah. That's a beyond the quad. Yeah. Also wanted to update you on the vehicles talking to the T chief. Then none of them there were still down all of them. Okay. Okay. Cool. Good. Good. Yeah. Okay. Medical. That's I believe we Yeah, I believe we just blew by the face-mode inspection of the trash. I don't think we're ready just as a group. I want to harp on this now. It's nine months away, but I feel like if we start now, we can get ahead of it. Yeah. Hey, remember we got that LRE, that trash LRE right before the phase mode.

Let's really expect trash cleanup. That's what LRE stands for. Let's really expect and yeah, let's just really expect a good phase mode and trash cleanup. Hey, four, four as trash. We thank you for what you do. We really do.

We have been seeing an improvement in the separation of MRE heaters from the rest of the trash and gear. And the shooters on the fire line also been securing their trash and gear. And we appreciate what you do for shop. That means a lot to do. Dovetail off that. Just want to dovetail off that. We've got it's in draft status at the moment, but our LOI for this trash stand down to prepare for the LRE and then the trash base mode inspection.

Okay, we have templated out zero five formations every day Monday Through Sunday every day of the week and then no one will secure until 2200 Okay, we will be doing trash pickup from zero five to twenty two hundred is what is templated Just gotta get the boss's signature on it. We're still in draft status But that's what we're proposing Hey, this trash shakesash Jakes real quick. Three, I do like the LOI that the three alpha did. I would also like a POA and M line by line of every space that we own in the trash battalion.

And just, you know, as we police call those, just take that little Excel and change it from red to green. And you know, but every day at 1600, switch it back to yellow. Cause you never know what Marines are doing after chow. And so I just want to see that in a color coordinated document. We just call it Skittles. And that way every day I can just open up

and see where the trash status is. Thanks for what you do team. Excellent. Excellent. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Absolutely. Oh, save, save round, sir. Yep. Go ahead. Update the ice cream machine is back up operational. Oh, that's the, in the chat hall. That's fantastic. It's phenomenal.

That's all I got, sir. Okay. Real quick. Because we've got to get to the outline stations. Medical, anything? Oh, right. we have a shot X tomorrow. Okay. Yeah. Everyone needs their, everyone needs her third tuberculosis, HIV, COVID, pancreatic cancer, Tommy Johnson's E shot. And I just need them to come through. We open tomorrow at 10.

We close at 11 for Chow, but just send all 1200 Marines in the battalion at 10 and we'll get through about 10 of them. And then we open back up at 1300 after PT. And if the Marines are still waiting, that's good. And we're actually out of the Tommy John's shot, but just send them over anyway. And we'll just give them whatever we have. Circle, circle, dot, dot. And I got your Tommy John's. That's right.

We've always said it trash battalion. Outstanding. Is chief, is the chief, no chief. Chief's leave. No, that was the medical officer. Chief's taking a chief stay. I don't know what that means. Yeah, they got the chief's mess.

Yeah, they got chief's training. Goat locker, I think is where they that means. They got the chief's mess. Yeah. Chief's chief train. Goat locker, I think is where they're at. Yeah. Okay. Moving on. Six combo. That's you, Trey.

Yes, sir. We're doing a comics to prepare for the, the LRE that we have coming down the pipe for the trash LRE that we have coming down the pipe for the trash LRE. We're gonna be practicing with our just long range HF comms. So we're able to talk long distance, just making sure all the trash picked up from one end to the other. I felt that just an HF frequency, I'm securing that with a regiment.

No sir, that's all I got. That's outstanding. Outstanding. I love that. Long-range communications. I just want to say good on Como for taking trash and making it a priority. I'm going to talk to dumpster six down in the regiment, my boss, and we're going to put you in for a nam, a trash nam, my favorite nam's.

And I really like how you've been collecting up all those spam cans out of the trash can and just hooking up HF wire and keeping those comms across all the spaces. I appreciate what you do. Thanks for what you do, team. Well done. Well done. Okay. That's all the primary staff.

Outline stations, we've got anybody dialed in or send us signal chat messages, anything like that? Yes, sir. This is the deuce. All of the line stations came over and encrypted signal net. We have the chaplain, the battalion chaplain goes by the name of Nathan Eckberg. He says that the unpaid and underrated trash is secured. And he says chaplain out, which I do appreciate his correct communications brevity. We also have Billy Martin that said, Hey, I can drive. And a lot like the vice president and the sec def, he dropped

a couple of emojis in there, like a couple of beer steins slamming together. We also have a former tango five and Navy football coach and former guest in the okay podcast, Captain Bowers that says he is present. We also have BW tax that says a warm body is just what you need. Give us a call. We also have a master gunnery sergeant on his third Twilight tour that said, hell yeah, brother. And we also have a major Matt Lohan who's like on a hot streak here saying, and I'm just

going to read it, sir, with the emphasis on the correct saliva. He said, Okay, I know you're going to cover some daggone coordinated instructions tonight. Good to go. Because there's been a lot of people saying things about coordinating instructions in the battalion, you know, for things like that don't need coordinating instructions. What a dork. We also have a link that was dropped in by a Jacob that said, this is for the roll call and it's welcome to the Survivor Casting website.

We think that's for grants buddy. It's open right now. Survivor 51. There's a video and there's eligibility requirements. Career Planner, can you cover that? Actually, it just says check the FAQ. Career, we have more. Hang on. We have a dog named Honeybee that sent us a tennis ball and a reply to a request for roll call. We also have a hail state topic. Hail state topic. Graphic designer for Mississippi State, it looks like. And

they just sent crying face emoji. And we also have a Levi Garrett 71 guessing that's when he was born. That just said the OK podcast is fire. And we also have a bro Sullivan barbell SCO that says shout out to the slack programming for bringing my squat from 390 to 430 over the last year. Not bad for 40 year old working in the construction industry. Thanks Grant. Appreciate it, brother. I assume he means my buddy. And we also have a Marilyn Brogi, no relation. Oh, interesting relation.

I think it's grants, buddies, brothers, wife. And she just said, okay. So I gotta say, that's a record on outlying stations calling in. If you didn't make it, thanks. You know, you're trying in next week, but if you send them early, we're not gonna read them. Also real quick, I know we told you this meeting would be 10 minutes and we're already at 20, but I feel like we covered a lot of good ground

and the battalion's headed in the right direction. I'll send it back over to the three for the agenda slide. Trash hell already. Yeah, just I'll make sure add in a lot more folks on the two line for the team's invite when we send that out. We like to send that out 10 months in advance so you forget about it and then it pops up

and then we call you right when the meeting's starting. Hey, the CC line is free, that's what I always say. That's good to go. That's good to go. CC line is free. Okay, let's kick this. Good meeting, guys. We are some productive officers right here.

Great meeting. Great meeting. Quick it, quick it me billets, man. Yeah. You're doing great. You're doing great with these collateral billets. Yeah. All right. I just know my four alpha spot, man. That's all I know.

We're going to jump into, we'll come back to some more marine talk. Let's let that simmer on the back burner for a second. One thing I wanted to talk about and really get your two opinion because I feel like y'all are both like more country music aficionados plugged in more. Oh my gosh, ladies and gentlemen, Razorwater.

If you're not watching on YouTube, you should. Cuts through thirst. But Grant must've got sent from his buddy a jug of the finest water you'll ever find, razor water. Razor water. Potential sponsor. But yeah.

Who do you consider modern day outlaw country artists? Or are there really any modern day? When you compare looking back at the Waylon Jennings, the Merle Haggard's, Johnny Cash, like folks like that. Do you think there's any way that kind of like fits that category still? Or is it kind of just like, that's a bygone era and now this is something new? So when you say outlaw country, is that? Did they have to get busted for cocaine like way?

Like I say, like, because they were, they were all talking about getting arrested. Yeah. Folks like that. Do you think that's changed? Do you think has changed like red dirt? Like would you call red dirt country the same thing? Or Texas country? Some people call it. In Texas, we just call that country music.

Country. Yeah, correct. Yeah. Yeah. No, I think that's different. So you think outlaw country is its own. I think outlaw country was a it's like being a Vietnam vet. Yeah. I just, you can serve, but that was a, that was the time. I mean, if there was someone like doing illegal things in country music, I'd bet on like Post Malone.

But yeah, I think that's like, I think that's reserved for the last of the old breed. Who's it? Hank, is it Hank Williams? The third. The third. Maybe, maybe a little bit. Or who's the other one who had a kid? Who am I thinking of?

Not Hank Williams. Name the highwaymen and I'll tell tell you one of them had a kid. Chris, Chris offers Chris Christofferson. No. Willie Nelson. No. We have a cash. Wayland Jennings shooter Jennings shooter Jennings. Yeah. Yeah. I think you have to be famous to Yeah. Yeah. I think you have to be famous to, I was a joke. Yeah. That's pretty good. I, yeah, I tend to agree with Grant. I feel like that was just like a very niche party country like back in that time. I think it's evolved into something else though, like all these smaller country, if you want to call it Texas country or I don't think it's just country. Yeah. Okay. Interesting. I do think countries on the up and ups. I do too. I do too. I think

there are actually a lot like big time, a very good like country artists coming up right now. I don't know. I just saw like something where like they're talking about, gosh, I can't, I don't really know. I don't like listening to these guys. But like, what is it like Luke, Brian, Zach, Brian, who is it? I think both of those ones, like once talented ones, not like those guys getting thrown in there as like, Oh, they're doing outlandish. I don't think that's outlaw country at all. And like, just kind of like, are there, and it got me thinking of like, okay, is anyone actually a modern day outlaw country?

But I think the way Grant framed it is great. You could have served in Vietnam and still be around, but that was a time. Yeah, I like that. That was a time, a special time. But I think you can draw a pretty direct line from outlaw country to, was it Zach? Zach Brian, I think his name is that your thing enough? Maybe. Terrified Troubadours. Yeah. Yeah.

I think they're heavily influenced. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because that's who they were listening to. Yeah. I mean, that's like saying I'm a Vietnam vet because I like general Christmas. Like come on.

There's only one guy that was at the battle away city and it wasn't me. There's more than that. Yeah. But you get the point. Oh yeah. If I was going to say anyone's outlaw country, it's Chris Stableton. No, his to their voice. Oh, you think that does? I do like, I do like talking a little country. It's Chris Stapleton. No, his to their voice. Oh, you think that does? I do like, I do like talking a little country. I've been into this

chick Ella Langley lately. Yeah, it's interesting. Does a lot of acoustic stuff. She had her popular song is like, as I tell Diana, I'm like, I really liked this song. Basically the girl's just saying she's a whore, but it's like she walked in, saw a guy in a cowboy hat and she was like, excuse me, you look like you love me. You've probably heard the song. And then, and then the guy sings, I forget the guy that's on the track and he's like, this girl walked up and she said, excuse me, you look like, and I was like, this is a good song. I don't know why I like it. And so I looked up her album. She's got some good songs like hungover, nicotine, white monster,

and I'm just kidding. But she does have hungover and nicotine. And she's pretty good. She's got the ones broken in, which I like. It's what I've always said. I don't trust a truck that ain't been sold or a horse that ain't been rode. She does have a song called Monsters. Yeah, pretty good. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good one. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good one. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good one. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good one. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good one. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good one. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good one. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good one.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good one. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good one. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good one. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good one. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good one. I'm not sure He's good. I Charlie Crockett a lot. Yeah. I still think Neil Emerson. I don't know. Neil Emerson. No, you would like him. He's pretty good. That's the guy you worked with Neil Young. Yeah. Yeah. It was a crazy story, man. Yeah. We're worked them. I go, what do you do? He's like, well, I'm a, I seen a musician. I'm

like, Oh, like, so you're just doing this to like, he was like, I'm just doing it because I'm bored. It was like during COVID. He's like, I was bored. So I just decided to get a job. I'm like, oh, that's pretty neat. I'm like, I need more money. What? I go, have you played like, have you played anywhere big? He's like, well, I opened up for Willie Nelson. I'm like, oh, so you're like a real musician. OK.

Yeah. Oh, that's good. I told that story to a buddy. He was going, I guess he's playing in Salt Lake City Friday. And my friend from work is going to it. And I was like, oh, I got a good story about that guy. Hey, I got his number.

You can text him. That's good stuff. OK. OK. Good country music talk. I like that. Good country music talk. Speaking of outlaw country, I'm wearing Kelly Arboro's hat right now. Hardy's racing team. Or as my dad would say, you guys want to eat at the French restaurant tonight? Hard days. But Carly, Kale, Yar Borough, great book. It's called Kale, uh, famous for passing the pass in the grass against Bobby Allison, uh, famous for getting in a wreck, getting out and punching, um, uh, people in the face, uh, as my grandmother's first cousin.

And uh, yeah, so it got me a vintage Kale Yarborough hat on tonight. Is this like two truths and a lie or is that like all true? It's all 100% truth. The mustache is gone. I'm not going to get Dale Earnhardt lookalikes anymore, but I do look a little bit like Kale if I wear this hat. So this is my redeeming quality. I do feel like before we go any further, we kind of have to touch on what happened with

that. You can't just like come on and not have a mustache. Jordy, add one in. Just go ahead and add in a mustache on there. Yeah. Just add one in. Actually, make it come in from the side. And then drop.

Actually, can you just put my head from last week on here and let that talk? You got HGL'd, I'm guessing. Let's just say, no, no, did not get ordered. Let's just say Grant's buddy thought for the best of the Marines and sailors under Grant's buddies charge, it would be silly for all the hard work that they've been done to be undervalued at all

because their CEO looked like Dale Earnhardt. You know the good thing about mustaches. You can always grow them back. Oh, come back, man. The great thing about mustaches is if you shave them before you're told, then you were never told not to have one. And then they can always come back. They can always come back. That's what I've always said. Hey, growing a mustache, that's tough to do against tall

grass, wearing one as a major, that's tough to do against a wheat, wheat field. Oh my goodness. That was a really sad moment. It's really sad. Well, anyway, yeah, it was a good grass on the, on the moustache. That was the longest I've had it, you run. I had that grass on the mustache. That was the longest I've had it. I've had them on and off.

But that was about 18 months, a mustache. Good run for a mustache. In the recore, especially. Yeah. Must say it's a field grade. Yeah. Goodness. All right. We're moving on to our next topic. Grant, you posted this one,

tram driver in Worcester, Mass. Yeah. So great. So had a few days leave. When take the wife and baby out, you know, as a typical Lance captain, USMCR, I don't even know what his new account is. He should change it back immediately. He would appreciate this, but you know, veterans and active duty alike like to flex in the fact that they have an Amex silver card. And so booked a nice little spot, went down there, there's a little tram ride to the beach. And this is going to lead me into something that I forgot to post in.

Remind me of Susan Duffy. Remind of Susan Duffy at the end of this. So it's all these highfalutin Orange County types getting in this tram to go down to the beach. And so waiting, tram comes every 10 minutes. We're waiting like maybe three, four. Everyone's talking about how cute my baby's hair head of hair is. And, uh, we, um, we're sitting there and the tram driver pulls up. I mean, it's, it's so tough to, to just like switch accents quick, but he's like, uh,

Hey, who's going down to the beach club? And someone's like, you know, I am. And like, and like, as soon as I hear it, I'm like, East side of Boston, like, I don't know where, but like East side of Boston. So he like comes up to me and say, Hey, what's your room number? And I like, and I just, I'm like six 38. And he's like, where are you from? I'm like, Worcester, where are you from? And my wife's like totally accepted at this point that if I meet anyone from Boston, I just tell them I'm from Worcester. Cause like, I can't help myself. He's like, Worc tell them I'm from Worcester because I can't help myself.

He's like, Worcester, I'm from Lowell. I'm like, Lowell, amazing. My dad was born in Lowell. He's like, no shit. Really? I'm like, yeah. I'm like, what are you doing out here? He's like, my kid moved out here.

Hey, hey, hon to my wife, you mind if he sits in the front with me? And she's like, no, she knows like I'm just having a Boston moment. And so it's like a 10 minute tram ride and I'm just like lying about where I'm from. The head of Marine Corps brought me out. He said, oh, my brother, thank you for your service. Yeah, my son almost joined the Marines. But yeah, he's out here now.

He works in finance. He said, dad, come on out. I said, what do they got out there? He said, the best golf courses you've ever seen. And so now I work here and I golf when I'm off. Hey, you gonna eat at the steakhouse tomorrow? I was like, yeah, I am. He's, I'm gonna put in a call for you.

You just made that dude's day. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. It's just like Grant's other buddies from Worcester. But like as soon as you pronounce Worcester correctly, like you're in. You're in. I'm like the Wussocks. Tell me about the Worcester Aerts Museum. Yeah. So it was a good time with him. And then I'll go into Susan Duffy. So are you, did you guys watch Reacher at all? Yeah. Okay.

The new season. Are you on season three, Tre? Yeah, I'm caught up. Okay. So I think I'm too behind caught up. So Jeff, you'd like it because it's like the only show besides a major pain where like a major is like the lead character in awesome. And he's like an army major and he's like trend out of his mind. He's just like hugely gigantic. And the like detective that he's like working with. I'm like watching it. And she's like, you know, we got to figure out this investigation.

And like, she's like talking, I'm like, Wow, did they like find a chick like directly from Maine to do this role. And it turns out she's from England. She's British. And she studied Ben Affleck films when she got the role and watched like every Ben Affleck film like 20 times like perfect her Boston accent. And it's a phenomenal accent. Am I right, Trey? It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. Like if you told me she was British I would have never believed you. That's like, have

you ever seen The Wire? The first season a long time ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the main dude like has a Baltimore accent and I was like oh yeah I guess he's from Baltimore and then no he's like has- In South Carolina would just call that Gullah. But, oh, or Baltimore, right? Is that Baltimore? Baltimore. Baltimore. Baltimore. Yeah. Dude, he's right. He has like the thickest English accent. Do you know? It was like Banda Brothers can just pull off like, think winners. You're like, oh, man, this guy's British.

But I had the there had the reverse of that. What was I watching? Oh, have any of you all watched 1923, like the second spinoff from Yellowstone? The Dolan Harrison Ford. Wait, which one? Is that the Dolan Harrison Ford? Yeah.

Wait, is that 1891 order? There's 1883, and then there's 1923. 1883, 1891. 1883 is with Tim McGraw. Yeah. That's like them going out west, and now this is them in Montana. Actually, it's really good. But there's this British chick.

But then they do the after show thing, and then she has an American accent. And I like do, you know, like the after show thing. And then she's like, as an English or American accent. And I was like, oh, that's the first time I've ever seen that, where I'm like, it's not actually a British person. And she pulled it off. Yeah, it's really good. Well, you know, you need to train American here. American playing the British is like, who's the guy from Mary Poppins? And I got not good.

A governor. My dad loves to say that. Yeah. So, yeah. And you get the reverse of it. Yeah. Richard Gitsch, a potential sponsor. Good show.

Yeah. All right. I want to watch your good bodyguard. Better steroids. Hey. Let's see. George Foreman, the champ, real master has passed away. RIP rest in power. Abby had no idea he was a boxer. Really? Diana had no idea he was a grill. What? I haven't even been more awhile.

Then she knows he's a boxer. Yes, I sent her the meme where it said like, Nice, Steve, I like that. George Foreman is dead, RIP. And then someone's like, have you checked the breaker? Like, meaning the grill is dead. And Diana was like, huh, I know the boxer died. then I was like, huh, another boxer died.

And I'm like, wait, you know about George Foreman grills, right? I'm like, she's like, no, I'm like, that's what white people used to cook chicken. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They white for two decades. Yeah, that was the, yeah. Oh my gosh.

All right. All these kids. Hey, we see a Marine. Hey, George Foreman. Can we give them, can we give them a moment of silence? All these kids. Hey, we see a Marine. To George Foreman, can we give up? Can we give them a moment of silence? Oh, yeah, we can do that.

We support the troops and the boxers. If you're not watching on YouTube, we just did a three hand salute, which is not quite comparable to a 21 gun salute, but Okay, George high visible highest honor from the okay. Why don't you give him an okay Jeff? Okay? and Trey Guide on Why do we make it so much longer I I doubt it. I've never figured that out. Yeah. Oh man. Uh,

instantly tournaments plural are going on. Uh, you get a lady game Cox update. Uh, I think they play again Friday. Yeah, they're in, um, Oh, they, they're like, they in there like swimwear. They destroyed their last opponent, right? They did. Um, I'm pulling up their next one cause I am drawing a blank. They are playing Maryland. Number four, they're still the number one seed. They beat Indiana. They didn't have been beaten Indiana by 11, but they, they were up on them like a lot more, put the scrubs in. So sweet 16 Obama said he picked him as the winners.

So thanks Obama. Guess we're doomed to win now. So yeah, Friday 2pm standard grant time. They'll be, they'll be playing. So they're, they're doing good. That's good to go. Yeah. Auburn, Auburn tires. A&M Auburn's still kicking good. Who they got next. They got, they're playing Michigan. That's who bounced. A&M. No, uh,

rough last 10 minutes. Yeah. Yeah. It was tough. Yeah. bounced A&M. No. Rough last 10 minutes. Yeah, yeah, it was tough. It's all right. I don't think A&M wouldn't be in Auburn anyway, so. Yeah, cool. That's been cool. We could have could have bet some dinner on it or something.

Is this is this is this sweet 16? Is this sweet 16 for the men's this weekend? Yeah. Yeah. And that Cooper flag kid's this weekend? Yeah. Yeah And that Cooper flag kid For Duke. Yeah. Yeah Okay, is unreal. He knows that's so much fun watching him. He does not suck He's so good. Yeah So, yeah, I don't know if I'm picking if you're picking a winner right now So we're obviously picking South Carolina.

Oh yeah. For the women's, yes, I'm too out of the loop on the men's, but what I've always done and what I always say is if you put Duke in the final four, it's pretty good odds. That's a win. Statistically, pretty good bet. I was going to say final four, but I'll just go ahead and say Duke wins the NCAA tournament. odds. That's a win statistically. I was going to say final four, but I'll just go ahead and say Duke wins the NCAA tournament. I think that's a pretty, they're pretty good. They are pretty good. Didn't the Yukon guy flip out? Oh, I saw some head.

Was he the one yelling? Yeah. Yelling like I hope. Yeah. Like I hope they don't F you over like they F'd us or something like that. Was that Yukon? Yeah, fine. Yeah, it was Yukon, the bald guy. I didn't watch him. Never trust a guy with no hair.

That's what I always say. Hey. But we've always said. OK. OK. All right. I'm still picking Auburn. We'll see. Hey, OK. All right. I'm still picking Auburn. We'll see the hey, you know,

Janiya Broom didn't play super great in that game against Creighton, but freshman point guard stepped up, Pettiford, and that was pretty fun to watch. But we'll see. We'll see what happens. I'm going to go just to be different. I'm going to grant says, Duke, you say Auburn, I'll say you have age. Okay. It's a hot take. We could do some more sports talk.

I feel like Grant kind of alluded to the Bruins and their Swiss cheese goalie. I don't know if he still wants to talk about that or we can talk about fly fishing. We're not a little like. Wait. Yeah. As far as hockey goes, when does the playoff start? Uh, about a month from now. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. I assume runs around in April, May. Yeah, they're going to be out, uh, rough season, basically trouble in the locker room, got rid of the captain. Yeah. And then the goalie. Yeah. Just some, they're saying Swainman's causing some drama in the locker room.

Yeah. I don't want to outcycle you guys and your lack of hockey knowledge, but it's bad year for the Bruins. Hey, hey, the troubles are in the locker room. Hey, you lose the locker room, you lose the season. That's what I've always said. Very true. Very true. MCB on tech three. Yeah. MCDP trash dot six. Yeah.

Trash dot six. Lose the locker room. Lose the season. Lose the trash. Might as well leave the trash on the floor. Lose the trash season secured. Yeah. Yeah. Fly secured. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, fly fishing. Yeah. I went fly fishing

a little South Carolina fly fishing or South Carolina, Southern California, South California. That's what I call it. I forgot. I've been in the high desert so long. South California fly fishing. So, um, I'll tell you guys a brief story. Then you guys can hit me up. So I've got some members of the gym. Good guy. Shout out Ray Tooey. Good buddy of mine. Former Marine. Once Marine, always Marine. Semper Fi. Ray got big Dave McMillan, another fly fisher from the Slack channel. Got my brother Jeremy always comments on the fishing. Obviously Jeff is a Patagonia fly fishing guide. Always comments on them. But I, you know, I asked these guys in SoCal, a couple more guys, not slack members.

And everyone just tells me like, you got to go to Bishop. Best fly fishing or the only good fly fishing in Southern California is five hours away. And I've just had a problem believing that not because I don't trust those guys' opinion. I do trust those guys' opinions very much. But I'm like, there's too many mountains and like waterways close to me. Like there must be fly fishing here. So I took to the old intro webs and started Googling and I found a broken website. Essentially when she told me I was onto something good and the guy like specializes in fly fishing in Southern California because I like back country fly fishing or something like that. So I get them on the phone. And first I felt like I was cheating

on John Connets, the world's greatest fly fishing guide that we've had on the podcast. We haven't gone back and if you like this fly fishing talk, go back and listen to, forget the episode number, just type in the okay podcast, John Connets. If you want to hear good Southern drawl and lots that conservation of fish and fishing. It's a good episode. So I called the sky and I'm like, Hey man, um, here's my scenario. I got five days off. My buddy's about to deploy.

He's got a five month old. He's got a wife. Um, won't spend as much time with them as possible. He does want to fly fish, but like can't spend five, six hours in a car. I'm working in 29 Palms, living in Orange County, like can hit fly fishing on the way out of the high desert on the way in, can hit fly fishing for a day if it's close by. I was like, everyone I know, you know, I'm from South Carolina. I fish North Carolina rivers. Everyone I know tells me there's no good fly fishing.

He's like, that's exactly how I like it. I'm like, oh, great. And he's like, also, also, and he immediately goes into his pitch. He's like, also, you're from the Carolinas and you're about to deploy. You don't live here. So I can take you to God's water. Because like, I wouldn't usually take people to God's water. I wouldn't take them there because every guide's got to keep a spot in his back pocket. And I'm just like, I love this sales pitch so much and I'm just rolling with it. And so I'm like, oh, that'd be great. He's like, oh man, I was just up there Monday, didn't see a single person, caught like 60

fish. I'm like, okay. And so we're talking logistics and all this stuff. And I'm like, I think I can go this date. I'll get back with you. Talk to kitchen six. And she's like, I think it'd be good if you would fly fishing for a day. And so booked a resort on the front ends and make sure everybody was happy.

And then I'm like, all right, we'll go fishing. So he sends me a spot to meet him and it's only like an hour away. And I'm like, man, this is like cool. And so I go out and I go and I meet him and it's on like that. And what's that pass called? Maybe the El Cajon pass. It's like up like above LA kind of riverside side. Anyway, Parker DeChevron, he's there.

And let me tell you, Southern California fly fishing guides look a lot different than South Carolina fly fishing guides. These guys decked out in Patagonia gear, by the way. Jeff, he's probably in his 50s, striving to Subaru Forester with a lift kit on it. And yeah, it was interesting. And I thought it maybe it was a little bit excessive, but hopped in with him and we go for rides.

Again, where we're going is right around the corner. 45 minutes later, we're still driving and I'm like looking at street signs, city names, because I'm like part of like the paying for this guy just to like have a spot. But at this point, I'm like, how far am I from my house? Like am I an hour 45 minutes? Like where am I at? We go down, hit this like, I won't even say it out loud cause I don't want to give the spot up, hit this, hit this, this item on the left that like, is not something you'd ever think of,

like abrupt left turn on an unmarked dirt road. And we start driving and very quickly we hit switchbacks. And I don't think I can actually articulate this correctly. and we start driving and very quickly we hit switchbacks and I don't think I can actually articulate this correctly. So we're in a Subaru Forester with probably like a three inch lift kit. And you know, I've traveled a lot of hills and traversed a lot of weird terrain and Marine Corps Humvees. I've never been so certain that we were going to fall off the mountain.

The guy is just talking a mile a minute, actually faster than that, because I've since done the map recon and it was five and a half miles down switchbacks. We're like, if another car came up, like I don't actually know what you would do. Like I actually have no idea what you could do, what you would do. Like someone's backing down or up switchbacks and we get down to the bottom and hit like this little bridge. And I like, there's not a house. There's like nothing.

And this place is like a hybrid of 29 Palms Mountains and Camp Pendleton Mountains. So like there's the Yucca trees out there or the Joshua trees out there. There's like, it's like a mountain. It's not trying to put Palm's mountain where there's no vegetation, like there's some vegetation. And it's like these really narrow switchbacks.

You get to the bottom and like, there's these creeks. And he's talking all about fishing. He's like Indiana Jones, man. He like pulls out this Atlas map and he's like flipping through pages. I've never seen Indiana Jones, but that's what he's like. And it's like mapped out contour lines. Yeah. Where all these fish are. And we get to the bottom. And I got to tell you, man, that river or that creek, I'm like, this is great water. Like,

this is awesome. And so, you know, we set up, we're waiting, it's probably like maybe three, four feet deep, water's not super heavy, it's up. The mountain like in the distance and up before we went down the switchback still snow capped, so it's melting and like coming down, so the water's higher than normal, I don't know what it'll be like in the middle of the summer.

And we go into the first hole, and he had said on the normal, know what it'll be like in the middle of the summer. And we go into the first hole and, and he had said on the phone, you know, he asked my experience level. I'm just like, I'm terrible. I'm brand new. I'm awful. And he's okay. We're going to do a thing called like dry dropping, you know, and that's like, kind of, I don't have any bread to butter, but if I did, like that's like, don't put me on a float where I got to cast 40 yards, like I'm terrible. But like, like give me some like fast water with like some nymphs underneath a, a stimulator and indicator. And like I, I have a chance. And so we get in the first hole and a little bit different. There's no Southern accent. There's no like, yeah, that's the drift right there. There's no John Connors like eat that shit, eat that shit.

Come on fish. Come on. But man, I'll tell you what, fifth cast, bam, like 10 inch rainbow. And I'm like, okay. And I think we spent probably 30 minutes in the first hole. I caught 10 fish. Uh, no, mom, nothing, nothing huge. Nothing though. Like when I go by myself, they're smaller than one hand, right? Like all like, you know, eight to maybe 12 inch fish. Um, so we get that. We go up to the next next hole. Fly fishing talk. He said I caught 40. I definitely

caught. I shouldn't say fly fish talk in evangelistic numbers like there were 2300 names. Like I don't know how many souls went to heaven. But I did catch more fish than I could count. There was Browns in there. I definitely, I say definitely, I think I hooked one Brown, but I lost that one. But it did come back. I was a little worried about my skills. Cause you know, when I was in the Carolinas,

I was fishing regularly and I'd just been out of it. I fished for carp with Ray one time, like surf fishing. We didn't catch anything, not Ray's fault, my fault. But you know, I haven't been in the river since before the baby was born. But a lot of it came back. So maybe later we'll have him on the podcast. I don't want to disclose them right now. I would say I didn't learn like a ton about angling. Like the benefit was he like knew a spot in SoCal to go and catch fish, but man, it was awesome.

Yeah, caught some good stuff. There were some big like still pools where we were sight fishing, catching some guys. I do love, so this is my second guide ever that, you know, I can only talk, speak to two, but it's like they all speak at absolutes. Like the ones that you hooked and didn't get. Oh, that was an 18 incher. That's one of the biggest ones in this Creek. And it's like, what? Like he was on for like two seconds. Like he showed his face. You were busy getting that up. And I'm

like, yeah, okay. But the absolutes were funny. The difference in a South Carolina and a South California fly fishing guide were hilarious. But also good like he knows his spots guy knows his stuff. He's like I say, he's probably his 50s. Start fly fishing was 16. So many crazy things to me. There's eight creeks in San Diego County with wild trout, huge conservationists, you know, same stuff, wild native fish. He's got me really wanting to catch a California golden trout, which is a California state fish that are only in waters above like

8,000 feet. I think it is showing me pictures of them, but like a beautiful like solid gold fish. But yeah, we had a good day in there. They were they were rising a little bit caught some, you know, off the dry, caught some nymph in. I think every fly fish fishing guide, if you like get a couple like stuck in a tree gets mad for some reason. And I don't know why, because I'm like, brother, I got a five month old and a wife at home that I should be hanging out with, like my buddy's about to deploy. Like I'm paying you, I'm gonna tip you well.

Like if I lose like three flies, like get over it. But yeah, so I had some good moments. The only disappointing part was, so we hit some holes. I don't think I got 40 fish. I think I definitely caught 25, could have been 32. If we're counting like, oh, there went the indicator pull up. Oh, nothing. And then like, as you reel it in, you're like, oh, there's like a little tiny fish on there.

Maybe it was 40. But yeah, it was great. It was great to be on the water. It's great when you like get out of the car and your phone's like, look at the sky for satellites. And it was super remote, like super remote. Like I don't know how you'd find this, how you'd know it, but the guy was really interesting where basically

he just does like topical map studies. And like if he sees a blue line from San Diego to north of LA, like he's been in it and has been fishing it. So it was fun. Yeah. The bad part was I was like, okay, at whatever point we hike out, it's like 30 minutes to hike out. Then it's like 15 minutes of like waiter changeover. Then I think we rode like 45 minutes in his car back to my truck. And then it's like an hour. But now we're like dealing with LA is traffic. And so John Connors would be disappointed in me.

But I was like, I think at like 1430, I was like, I get it. He said, no, no, no, we got this other hole to hit. And like I told him, and then was like 14, 15, I was still catching fish. And I was like, I got to go. And he was like, Oh, no, no, we got like one more hole. And I was like, look, man, like I'm the guy that wants to fish till 1900. I was like, but like I really want to eat dinner with my wife and my daughter tonight. And like, we got to go. He's like, let's just like 10 more casts. I'm like, I appreciate it. Like you're giving me anxiety. I literally said to this, I appreciate it. Like you're giving me anxiety. I literally said to this, I was like,

and started to piss me off. And he's like, okay, like five more casts? I'm like, no, like we're done. And so he was like a little like surprised. I think he felt like maybe I didn't have a good time. And then like on the ride back, I was like, no, like this was great. He's like, oh, I hope I didn't get you in trouble.

It's like, it's not about like, my wife's not going to be mad at me. Like I literally just want to spend time with them. And like being on the water from nine to two has been great. But like, you know, I got to go, but it did open my eyes. So I will say this. Um, I don't think there was any monsters in there, but I am at the point of my fly fishing progression that I'm happy with every fish I catch. And if it's the size of my hand, so what, Conor King makes fun of me, but I don't care. Every fish I catch is still exciting, but it was a lot of fun. And he definitely fished in a different style. Like there was a lot of like faster water restructure where he

was like having me like basically be downstream and like fish directly up. And so like the flies coming through you. So you like have to like strip a lot of line where I would have like totally got out of the rocks to the side, like high-sticked it. So it was definitely a different style. There was definitely some stuff I learned. I'm so amateur at this. There was a lot to learn, but it was definitely a different approach. I wouldn't say like my angling got a lot better, although I didn't tell you to catch fish. I think it gets better.

But yeah, it was a lot of fun. And then he just keeps like rattling off all these other places that you can fish in Southern California. And there was like some places that were like 40 minutes from my house. And I was like, I could have fished longer, uh, but it was a good spot. Uh, it was a lot of fun. It was good to get on the water. What's the lines?

Yeah, it was good. It was good. It was good stuff. Yeah. Southern California, We just call it water. So I've got, well, my boy Ray, I won't give it up to anyone, but my boy Ray, longtime gym member, slack member, uh, Marine, uh, supports the turkey poll every year, has daughters, will give you father advice. I am like, I made like a fishing, like a, I make like a notes when I go fish somewhere, like, you know, drop like the grid locations and like I put like screenshots so you can find it again. And then like, you know, I put some photos of like what I caught like in case I ever want to go again, particularly

when I was fishing by myself in North Carolina. But I did that and I sent it to him and he's got the fever. The problem is back to the Subaru Forester. And we were talking about lesbians driving Subarus. Ray's got a long bed truck like I do, even though it's a little down and out right now. But I'm like, you can't get down there that thing. Like you like there's there's no way. And I think you could probably make it down there in a two door sedan, I think. But his car actually made a lot of sense.

And he told me he's like the reason I find fly fishing spots in California, Southern California, definitely obviously tons of great fly fishing. So I've heard up North is he's like, cause I off road and he's like, he's like, I don't even call this an off road. He's like, when I take you to an off road place, like it's another hundred bucks to just like get you there. He goes, I call this a park and fish. And I will tell you, and I'm a guy that grew up muddin', like that is not a park and fish place. Like you gotta have the right vehicle to get there. I do think if you had any type of all wheel drive sedan,

like if you had like, isn't like the Chevy Equinox, like all wheel drive, but you need like a smaller vehicle and probably all wheel drive, maybe two wheel drive, but it was sketch. And then like on the way out, he's like eating a subway sandwich, like talking about fly fishing when he was 19 and how he said that the San Diego Clippers moved LA. And I'm like, brother, can you watch the road? Please? Please don't kill me. But yeah, it was good. It's good to wet some lines. That's good.

Time in the water. I still want you to do it over in Japan. See what it's like over there. I do. I'm definitely going to try, I think it's going to be salt water. I think I haven't researched it that much, but no, I mean, if I got time off and I'm not recording the OK podcast, I'm fly fishing. Nice.

Nice. You can do some Tinkara rod fishing. I don't know what that is. What is that? It's like the Japanese, very minimalistic type of fly fishing rod. So it's just like a, a lot of times like a telescoping, like wooden rod and you have the fly lined on the end and it's like just a different kind of like fly fishing that's like Japanese.

Have you done it? I've never done it. Well, I've done like a couple casts with, with the Tenkara rod, but like- So it's called Tenkara fly fishing? Tenkara, yeah, yeah. T-E-N-K-A-R-A. In Japan, do they just call it fly fishing?

They might. Yeah. Yeah. They honestly might. None. Yeah. But yeah. Yeah, you should check that out.

Yeah. OK. OK. We got some sports talk out of the way. We'll do a little more Marine talk here in a second, but, uh, maybe some lifting talk slash gym talk, uh, great. Dar Trey, you posted strength coat boot Jack. Oh yeah. What's the topic? I don't know.

Oh, that's just no, it is nothing new with lifting. I just want Grant to make a boot Jack. That's a boot. All right. You're wearing cowboy boots. All right, you're wearing cowboy boots. Let's say they're new cowboy boots. In South Carolina, we just call them boots. Correct. How do you get them off? Tight, when they're tight, right?

My wife. So if you don't have your wife around, you get a boot jack. It's the thing that's like on the ground, you put your heel in it and you step on the other side, like step on it and then you're heel heel in it and you step on the other side like step on it and okay your heel in one boot and you just pull it out can you make it out of leather so it's usually either like metal or wooden and then it has like a leather like where you stick your heel it's like a leather um like strip right there I'm picturing like, like the boot scrubbers outside the door and like clean

your boots off, but I know that's wrong. I'm going to Google it right now. Yeah. I'm going to gunny Google it. Oh, I see it now. Okay. Okay. Freaking name boot Jack sponsored by the okay podcast. Okay. Just make one of those at a cast iron. Yeah. I was like cast iron, throw some leather on that sucker. Yeah. Cast iron boot jack. You're beautiful. I just said, I know you always take like,

hey, what should I make next? Yeah. I'm always looking for the next. After the ship. Yeah. After the ship. To be the next heighten of industry. Yeah. Yeah. Make some bootjacks. Yeah.

Mainly because I need one. Hey, real quick, quick shout out to our sponsor, BW tax, BW tax. Great guy. Better taxes. That's what we've always said. He is burning the midnight oil right now. Uh, doing everything he can to get your taxes done. Uh, on time, in time, you're running out of time. That's what we like to say. Let's see. Let's take it back to the old Puerto Rican for a little ad-free. BW Tax, as a Massachusetts resident, I'm absolutely sick and tired of our lesbian governor. She's taking every dollar out of my pocket. BW Tax has helped me avoid and bypass every single little way that Uncle Sam has tried to wrangle me and leave my lifeless body and my kids without any food.

Thank you BW Tax. I will be using you for my whole life. What's weird is he voted for Biden. What's weird is that that that lesbian super is what took me fly fishing. Yeah, trade trades expression in the ad read because their video just like throws his head back and grabs his head as he says it. And Jeff just looks at the ground. It's like Marine Corps officer. I can't support this. Little spicy. Yeah.

Spicy. Spicy. That's free speech here. It's basically X, but the OK podcast. Hey, okay. Okay. Yeah. We're saying, oh yeah. Say whatever you want to okay. Okay. Yeah, we're saying, Oh, yeah. Say whatever you want to on. So yeah, I like that we've covered. I like that we've covered the sec def without covering them and therefore I don't feel bad about it. Yeah.

Yeah, it's good stuff. Okay, moving into other American flag fist bump, strength and strength co related topics. Graham, we've got people that actually live long term. I'm guessing that's a thing that's few and far between as a local. Yeah. Yeah. I'm trying to think what made me think that.

I think it was when I was at home and I was at my own gym and I was looking at the log books. So we have like a bookshelf on the right side and you get a composition notebook when you join. And like we got people that live long term that just like migrate to their iPhone notes when she's fine. But it's just funny looking at the log books. And at the bottom, right, is like the people that haven't been there. So it's like a constant reshuffling of people grabbing their book and like when they leave, they obviously put it in the top. They don't like open it up and like pick a card, any card. And so like

down at the bottom, you'll look and they'll be like at any given time until the owner comes home and like throws a bunch away or actually now I just, you know, times are tough, inflation is high, just rip out the front pages and white out over the name and put it in the new composition notebook stack. But you'll look and it's like, people do like three sessions, like five sessions. And you remember them and I'll remember them even like from an owner's perspective, like we have a coaches chat on Slack

where the coach should be like, this person joined, they're from this place, they're super excited. Like, they'll give you history and it's like, they'll make it three sessions, five sessions. So that's a lot, like a lot of people, as soon as they start to get pushed, which is early on, if you're running starting strength, it might be like six, eight sessions in,

or even sooner, you're like doing things you don't wanna do because the starting strength, novice learner progression for beginners is aggressive, it's doable, but like, you know, you're literally adding five pounds each time. So leave then. And those folks usually come up with an injury, you know, they'll be like, hey, you know,

when I was 17, I hurt my shoulder skiing, it's flared up, I can't, I'm gonna go to the chiropractor. You know, they have like some long explanation of why they can't lift. And that's fine, we appreciate their business for how long they were there. You know, you paid for a month in advance, so if you don't pay for it, you don't get money back. explanation of why they can't lift. And that's fine, we appreciate their business for how long they were there. You know, you paid for a month in advance,

so if you don't pay for it, you don't get money back. But then you also get the people that get like really into it and like gain maybe like 15, 20 pounds, and they lift for like four or five, six months. And then like, they're just like on to the next thing. And then you have people and they're usually like kind of people you don't expect that just buy in. And like, they're not trying to set powerlifting records.

They're not trying to like be the next world strong man. They just buy into like, hey, I need to be strong. And they just come in and they get injured and they have back tweaks. And like their default is not like it's the gym's fault. It's the lifting's fault. It's the squats fault. They like literally believe like I need to lift as I age or I lose muscle mass and they just stick with it. And it's as you meet these people, you know, over, you know, good gyms coming up on a decade, I mean, not really, but kind of like

eight years now, they're very few and far between. And that doesn't mean they have to be a member of my gyms, right? The guy today texted me that joined our gym when it first opened. Actually joined when I was still coaching in my garage and he was sending me a picture of some gym wherever he was lifting and the equipment and you know, he's moved like an hour up north, but he still lifts and it's just interesting to me, like the people that just take it and they know like it's gonna be hard, like I'm gonna have setbacks,

I'm not always gonna be like the strongest I've ever been, but they just do it and they're usually like pretty successful people, right? And they like kind of have their lives together and they're just like people that they're like, hey, this is important, I'm gonna do it. And I just have a lot of respect for them. Like one as an owner and as a businessman,

but two just as a, like there's so many times, like I lifted with my wife, a few days ago I was home and I walked, we both went in and she's like the best lifting partner because like if she's doing something super heavy or I am like, we'll talk about it. But like for the most part we just go in and like we kind of lived in silence and it's always been like that. And and I was doing the Mars bar, my shoulder still aggravated. And I went down and did my first set of five. And I literally got down to the first row,

but I was like, ah! And she looked over and started laughing. And for the first set of five, I literally grabbed the uprights of the squat rack, because you're in the Mars bar and you can do that, because it's sitting on your back like a jet pack. And I did my next set of five and you just have this thought in your head of like,

there's no way this goes well. There's no way I squat, you know, in the upper 300s for five sets of five. Like I feel terrible, but you're just like, I'm supposed to do this. And I know that like my body tells me that. And then the next thing you know, you do whatever I did that day, 360, I think for five sets of five. And you're like you know, you do whatever I did that day 360 I think for five sets of five and you're

like, Oh, like, I'm okay. And it's just not a lot of people do that over time. And, and even if they lift, and when I say lift, like they go to the gym and like they lift some type of object, they rarely like stay heavy, make it hard and like question their like mental doubt, they just they just give up, right. And they're just like, I mean, you see it a ton in the Marine Corps, and there's a lot of like fit Marines that like do something to lift and I say fit meaning like, they're at a, you know,

good healthy body weight. But like, they're not really strong, right? It's like, you know, brother, you're 200 pounds and you know, you're pressing 95. Like you're capable of way more, but, and there's just like this litany of excuses. And then, then I found this new program at this percentage. And it's just interesting of like people that believe in like lifting heavy, challenging themselves over like years, uh, is pretty rare. Definitely. That's it.

Definitely. End of thought. The end. It was good. It's good. All right. Trey, I guess also kind of like you touched on it there of like seeing the people that do stick with it long-term

like tend to kind of have their lives together. And I think another thing that we see with people that have their lives together is And I think another thing that we see with people that have their lives together is a really great morning routine. And it sounds like Trey has stumbled on to his new morning routine through the wonderful world of Instagram fitness influencers. So Trey, you just wanna give us a little taste

of your new fantastic morning routine. I think you have all the girls doing it too with you? Yes. I wake up at 3 AM. I get a very expensive bottle of mineral water. And I dump it in a bowl and put my face in it. That's around 3.06 AM. And then then at 308, I eat a banana and then I proceed to wipe the peel on my face. That's at 309. Yeah. And at 315, I get that new water bottle. I open that up

and I put my face in a little dip. I put it in again. That's at three 16. Dude, I watched this guy and I'm like, does he actually do this every morning? This is absolutely ridiculous. No way. Well, yeah, no way. But I'm like, how many people are watching this and be like, I got to do this. Have you heard of that guy? No.

Had you heard of him, Jeff? Have you seen it now, Jeff, with nine million Instagram followers? I feel like I've only seen like one, it like popped up on something and I like didn't really watch it, but then Trey put that in the Slack and I was like, oh, that must have been what that was.

I don't know, who was it that? Yeah, I can't remember his name. I wanna say it's like last name starts with an H. He's like a jacked black dude. Huge. He goes through the morning routine and he like went all out. Like he's like getting dressed. Like they're putting like a coat on him, like putting his like Gucci belt on. He like gets in a helicopter, like fly somewhere. It's like over the top, great media, great camera editing. Jordy would be proud. Like a lot of stuff. And so I actually saw that first

before I saw like the memes or the spoofs. Like I did see that first. And I just thought like, man, like, I know he's like being funny, but also being serious. Is he, I was about to say, is like being funny, but also being serious. Is he? I was about to say, is he being funny? Yeah, but then like 9 million people follow him.

So I'm like, this is like real. And the second one I saw was South Carolina gamecock baseball, like dumping like the Gatorade coolers and then just like dunking their heads. I saw Ole Miss football, dude. Yeah. And then like I saw some of those. The funniest one I saw was Andrew Tate and this is not for against Andrew Tate, but it was really funny.

He like gets up and he like goes to his humidor and it's like, you know, 10,000 cigars and he like picks some like Cohiba and he like, everything's like super fancy and rich. And he goes over to this nice like cutter and he cuts the cigar. So it started by saying my morning routine. He like puts it on, he lights it and it says like nicotine. And then he'd like, he's like opening a laptop and then it like cuts to like

where you can only see someone's hands. And it's like a female, opening a laptop and then it like cuts to like where you can only see someone's hands and it's like a female, like a good hand model with nice nails. And she's like making an instant coffee when she, I didn't understand why it was that, but it was Jacob's coffee. Maybe there's some like hierarchy of like rich people drinking instant coffee that I don't know about, but she's like stirring it. And I was like, Oh, I know exactly where this is going. So she never comes on screen. It cuts back to him. And like the, like nice female hand like comes in and sets the coffee cup down. He never like looks at her. He never acknowledges her. You never see her. And then like he's like still on his computer. He grabs

the coffee, he takes a sip and it says caffeine. And then the camera cuts back where you can tell he's smoking the cigar and there's a coffee cup in front of him and he's typing on his computer and it's open with a bunch of different stuff. And it says work. It says caffeine, nicotine, work. And then it just goes black and says, don't be gay. I was just like, that's a pretty good spoof. Like, that's pretty funny. But yeah, then now I'm like over it. Like when I see it, I'm like, stop like, no, I don't want to see another person like stuffing their face in a bowl of water. Also, Connor, Connor

missed out Connor. Connor's the names on their face. Also, Connor missed out. Connor's usually late on memes anyway. Like grab a hundred pound plate, Connor. Fill it with like chalk and just dunk your face in it or something. Perfect. Come on, Connor. Get with the times.

Come on, Connor. Yeah. Absolutely ridiculous. It's good. It's good. All right, well I know what I'm doing in the morning, so it's gonna be great. Yeah. I love it. I love it. Dumping a hot brieke on your face. Oh man. Okay. Let's okay. Kick it back to a little Marine talk. I thought this was a good Trey posted this in here. So we'll have Trey go first. Top three military occupational specialty choices at the basic school.

So let's let me explain a preface. So you go to the basic school graduate college you commission after OCS, you go to the basic school, you're there for six months. Throughout that six month period, you're graded on pretty much everything you do. But the three categories is what? Physical fitness, academic in leadership score. And so you get ranked out of everybody in your class and they break your class down into thirds. So top third, second third, bottom third. And if you're the top of any one of those thirds, you make a list of all your jobs that you want to do in the Marine Corps called MOSs. And if you're on the top of any one of those thirds,

you usually get your top choice of that MOS. And they do that so that not all the good people go to the same job. They like spread it out. So that being said, when I was making mine, because you rank literally every job from top, this one would do the most in the very last one is I don't want anything to do with this. My top three were like all over the place. So I think I, so I know I had, I had artillery is number one. I think everybody, I'd like you go in there and you're like, Oh, I'm do infantry. And then like, after like two months, you're like, nah, I don't know that. I don't think I'm doing infantry. Who's this? Who drives

everywhere? Oh, artillery. I'm like, okay, I'll see artillery. So artillery was number one for me. And then I think number two, I'm like, well, I'm not planning on making this a career. Let me pick something to where maybe I can do it afterwards. And so I put air traffic controller as like number two, I think. And then I had a number three, I think number three ad is infantry. So I was like all over the place. Yeah. My, the cat and Fallon was like, what, what is going on here? He's like, why are you like all over the place? I mean, he's like, you're, he's like, did air traffic controller? I'm like, yeah, that might be cool. He's like, he's like, you'll do artillery.

I'm like, okay. So what are you a yell leader? Gig them eggs, land those planes, put them over here on the ground. Critical MOS. And then you got Artie. And then I got Artie. He just, he goes, yeah, you'll just do artillery.

I'm like, that sounds good. I don't know. What was yours? Number one. I had Jeff, I had infantry, number one, artillery, too. I don't remember what my third one was. I think it was it was probably something. Combat and arms. I think it was probably something. Combat engineer. I think it was probably like engineer.

I think there was like one armor slot for like the whole class. Yeah. I feel like I had tanks. Yeah. Yeah. I think it was like infantry, artillery, and then like combat engineer maybe. I think I had combat engineers like four. I don't know.

I think tanks would have been awesome four. I don't know. I think tanks would have been awesome. Like maybe AAVs of time. Until they got rid of them. True. But yeah, I was kind of like infantry number one. Artillery was like number one alpha. Like if I was like, if I get either one of those, I'm going to be ecstatic. Yeah. I was a little bit different, but most of the same as Jeff, but it wasn't a one alpha. I was infantry. Number one. Like I was like, I read one bullet away Nathaniel fixed story and like,

I wanted to be a grunt. I was infantry one. I was a one. I was ground Intel, which is like you go to, you go to IOC and you do whatever Intel school too. I was artillery three, I was tanks four and common engineers five. And throughout my time, I was called like the rock eater. I always carried the 240. Like the more I did TBS, the more I was like, I can't wait to go I'll see and fight people. And I was like really into it. And I did like artillery a lot. And I remember doing the artillery phase or whatever. And thinking

like, Oh, this is cool. There's like more than one job like, cause they go over like you could be the FTO and like they show you the FTC and they show you the gun line and they show you a fire support. And so I remember thinking that was cool. But like in my homeschool brain, I was like, oh, 302, 302, like, oh, 302, like, that's it. And I just told the story to one of my buddies with tenants because he was asking me it. And he's like, sir, you were like, you just were born to be an artillery officer. You always want to be artillery. I was like, actually, it's not true. And so so a MOS's coming out and I was

bottom of the top three, not like bottom, but like I was like- Towards, towards the bottom. Middle bottom of the first third. I don't say that any kind of gloat, but like I, cause the first 15 get whatever they want. So if you're like a hundred, a hundred and a hundred, like I'm probably like number 70, 60, some of that. I don't remember.

But I was just like, all like the infantry, SPCs, like like me, like there's like, I, I've never, like the only thing I've been more sure about is that the women gamecock team wins the national championship this year. I was like, I will get infantry. So I didn't even know anything else. And so Lieutenant Colonel Dan O'Connell, listener of the OK podcast, shout out. He's never joined

in the roll call, but shout out Cobra six right now, Captain Dan O'Connell at the time. The way he told us our MOS is we did a weapons inspection. So he came out of the front of the room and he went, you know, doorway to doorway, he got a roommate. So you're standing on either side of the door and you go to port arms, he grabs a weapon, he cleans it, he slaps the bottom, sends the bolt home, hands it to you and says, like your MOS designator. And so my roommate was a pilot.

So they don't get there what platform they're flying until later. So, I don't even remember what he said to him, but he hands it back to Blanco. He comes to me, you know, left faces and like I racked that thing. I hand it to him and I was like, oh, 302 is just like, oh, it's running through my brain. And he's like, oh, 802 like slams it. And he was an artilleryman and hands me the weapon back and I'm devastated. I'm like, like I am devastated. And I also have no idea what 0802 means, like not the

slightest clue. And so you didn't just like get your weapon back and go back into your room. Like he had to make it all the way down the hallway and back the other side. So I'm standing there and I'm like, I can't even think about like, what is 0802? I'm just like, it's not a 302. And I'm just like, so hurt. So he gets the top. I don't remember what command he gives and like I go into the room and Blanco's like, what's a way to the two music artillery. And I was so upset. And O'Connell called me in maybe a day later, maybe two days later, it doesn't matter. And he's like, Hey, I'm artillery.

You were there. He's like, I want you to know that you are an infantry, but I made you artillery because like we've been friends this day, came to my wedding, all that kind of stuff. He's like, and one day you'll call me and thank me. And also your MOS matters a lot right now. And like later you realize it doesn't matter. Which that part of things wrong about, because I'm like every day now. I'm like, oh my god I'm so glad I'm artillery

Thank you st. Barbara for looking out for me But I was upset at first and then you know, then I got to Fort Sill and then Jeff was artillery and What Higgins McFadden? Ewan who else was in there? Mooma Nelson Nelson baby truck Yeah, we had all those guys at the army guy that was cool Saw you something like that. Yeah

Yeah, it was cool. And then like it's been never, never looked back even to this day with my buddy, like serving alongside the infantry, like love them here to support them. But like, definitely, definitely appreciate Dan O'Connell doing that. But yeah, it was not, it was not mine was not my first choice at all. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, that is a stressful time, not stressful, but like, it is a weird thing. I think something else worth talking about it because it's, I don't know that you do this like any other time in life, but you have however many people in your platoon.

What was the platoon like 60, 50, 60. And so like every two weeks you rank your former platoon members. So like you're like, so it's rotating and I'll let Jeff talk and trade about this a little bit, but it's rotating like assignments. Like you're the squad leader, you're the guide on, you're the CEO, you're the XO. And then like at the end of a cycle of going to the field and doing stuff, there's like 60 names and it's an Excel document and it only goes to the SPC and it's anonymous and your peers don't know what you voted for. And you're just like, yep, biggie number 60. Uh, and you just, you rank them. It's crazy.

And so then it's like, it's like a cheat code for the SBCs though, cause they're probably like, okay, like these guys are doing pretty well. And then like it comes out and they're like, Oh, actually everyone hates got lich. Yeah. The period is the period is. Yeah. I mean, you guys remember those like, yeah. Yeah. And you'd have people that would like come into your room that you're nice to and they're like devastated. They're like 46. And we're like. Everyone hated all the same people though.

Yeah. I mean, yeah, for the most part, it was pretty kind of like cut and dry. I was like, oh yeah, that person cried when they had to carry the saw on the hike. Like, yeah, we don't like that person. Or you would have like a top performer and like 50 people would like rank him high. And then like 10 people who he like corrected and constantly reprimanded, like ranked him

last. And then that's even like clear to the SPC, like, oh, he's a leader. Like the majority of the people like him and these people hate him because like he's making tough decisions. Yeah. Oops. Yeah. The peer evals crazy time. Good time. Crazy. Oh, TBS stories. Nothing like a bunch of field grades sitting around talking about TBS. Am I right? That's what the listeners are here for. They're here for the TV stories. Shut out Matt Lohan. I know he liked that part. Kevin Bishop's never listened, but that's okay. Lohan the dork.

That's good. Yeah, good dork though. He's my dork. Good dork, yeah. Yeah. I miss him. Yeah. What do you read?

Is your Tesla staying safe? It's a dangerous world out there for a Tesla. Can I get a hold of it? Wild. First of all, it out there for a Tesla. First of all, it's my wife's Tesla. Oh, right, right, right, right, right. No, to become one flesh. Yeah, Tesla's okay. Doing great.

Yeah, it's running better than my 95 Chevy right now. I'll tell you that much. Yeah, Tesla's doing fine. My dad's been super, I don't know if you know this, but people have been attacking Tesla's across the country. I just, I'll just leave it as like, yes, Tesla's fine. Feel safe in California. I think it feels safe in South Carolina. I just think it's hilarious that, let's see, I bought that in November of 23. And I remember like this. The political shift that it's seen.

The second or third time I was charging it in South Carolina, like four by four truck screened by, I think we've told the story in the podcast before and just said, and mom, I'm sorry, but I have to say it for impact, just screamed out the window as they did a burnout Tesla driving faggot. And I just remember being like, what? And then I remember eating dinner at some place. I remember eating lunch at some place. This is maybe six months later. And it's like a

place with like a garage door that opens so you can see parking. And there was these like highfalutin, probably Clemson, no, they were Clemson grads. I remember they're Clemson grads because I looked at their rings after they were douchebags. I was like, that checks out and they had parked their car somewhere else in a parking spot like right in front of the restaurant opened up. This is in downtown Greenville. So one guy's like, I'm going to move the Chevy over. So he runs out.

So he runs out and goes to get it. And as he goes to get the car and you see it's a one way, you got to do a turnaround, Tesla starts parking up. And this other guy's like, I got to go save it. So he goes and stands in the parking spot. So he's standing in the parking spot and the Tesla like comes to pull in. And the guy's like, no, this is our spot. And he's like, there's no car here. He's like, no, no, no, my buddy's coming. And the guy's like, there's no car here. Like I'm going to park. And they get him like a shouting match on the street and the two like wives or girlfriends,

whatever they were like clearly very, very embarrassed. And they get in like a shouting match in the street and the two like wives or girlfriends, whatever they were, like clearly very, very embarrassed. And they're like literally right next, we're like at a, we're not at a table. We're like at a, a six seat, like bar stool set up that like looks out over the street. And it's like uncomfortable for my wife and I'm like, man, these people. And so the Clemson grad is like yelling at him. And the Tesla guys finally like, fine, whatever. And he like backs out and then this like, I like Chevy. So I hate saying it was a Chevy, but it's like suburban like pulls in or whatever they are now, Tahos. And then the two guys come back through like friggin homo, like thinks you saving the planet with a Tesla, like thinks you can just park wherever he wants. And like from a bystander perspective, I'm like, dude, he totally had the right to

that parking spot. Like just because you ran out there and stood there like doesn't mean anything and they're just like Tesla Elon Musk. Yeah. Saving the planet. Okay. And now it's like they probably all make America great again. I gotta go buy a cyber truck. It's crazy. Crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. Oh man. It's funny. Bring this thing in for a landing or we got to see it in alibis. I want super quick one just from here from today. So I don't want to kick it down the road because they really won't have much. Whatever. But yeah, the like arch enemy of like people probably like. I don't know, like 65 and above or 60 and above are like touchscreen kiosks where you have to like order food

or like a fast food restaurant. Or like. Call me 65 and bake me in an oven. Dude, I watched. So I was at the airport today, got there, had a little bit of time. I was like, you know, I'm going to grab some food now. So I go down into the terminal. There's a child continuous. I was like, nice. Love Jimmy John's going to be fast. That's what

they're known for. And there's two people ahead of me in line. And they're both, yeah, like similar age, probably like 60, 65 ish. And this isn't to pick on old folks or whatever. Because there are often, oftentimes these things are kind of complicated, but like three minutes go by, four minutes go by, five minutes, six minutes. And like, they're just like looking at each other with like looks of panic and like kind of like giving each other like, what do I do with this screen? And then finally, like, one of the workers back there, like, pops over the register is like,

Oh, someone can order here now. And like the guy just like, oh, thank God and like be lines to the register like orders with her and just like abandons the screen. And so then I just go up and after like, but yeah, I was was like, oh yeah, that is like, it's like too overly complicated a lot of times. You don't know like the button ology. And then if you're not like raised on a smartphone or haven't been using a smartphone for most of your life, like those touch screens are a doozy for some folks.

It's an arch enemy. Yeah. Do you like those Trey? What? Touchscreens? Yeah. Don't order food. I don't like them. It depends where I am. No, I prefer talking to a person usually. Yeah. I think this maybe shows her age but I last time I remember I was charging my Tesla in Columbia, leaving a gamecock game and there was McDonald's there and we were driving late at night and I was like, do you want a coffee? And she's like, yeah, like I'm going to sit here in the car though. So I go in to get the coffee and I walk in and I don't even

see like the kiosk like they didn't even like strike my attention. So I'm just like standing in front of the counter and I'm standing and I'm like gonna charge for 20 minutes. So I'm like not in a rush and probably like five minutes standing in front of a counter is a long time, but it was probably five minutes and I'm like, what is going on?

I feel bad for 60 year olds trying to order on a kiosk I guess, but like I actually had a hard time with it. I feel bad for 60 year olds trying to order on a key. It's confusing. They're not easy. And like, there's a lot of stuff that could just get ironed out with like, Oh, can I add mustard to that or something like that? But then

you're like, okay, what secret button combination do I have to hit? And then like, is this actually then going to translate to the other end? And am I going to end up with like a medium sized drink full of mustard? Like what, what is actually going to be I hate when they give me the media. So in Texas, we call that sweet tea.
